//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: The Invitation (Octavia) // Story: Symphony of love // by Deckers //------------------------------// It's been a long time when I was playing my cello in front of the audience at the Canterlot’s cafe, a sound of violin is filling the cafe's room, to me, playing the cello is the most vacation I need, I never complain to the owner about how exhausted am I, I just wonder if someone just give me the special offer of any kind of the competition of the composer, as long as my audience is happy and relaxed with my performance. I was relieved when finally the show is over, the long haired stallion with the MED-Blue fur and the three golden star as his cutie mark, realize that is the owner of this café, she walk close to me and give me the offer. “That was spectacular performance I’ve ever seen in my life” say the blue stallion with the smile. Then I answer it with the smile “Why thank you, I just do my best today MR….” Paused for a while. “Mighty Star, but you can call me Star” “Oh my, that was great name” “Well thank you, anyway, I just got a special over to you, only If your free this month” Ask star. I answer honestly “Well, My next schedule is two months from now, yes, I am free this month” Then the blue stallion gives an invitation to me ”This is an invitation to the national composers competition I got it from the manager of the organization there at Fillydelphia, they give me this Invitation and must be received by the great composer only, but accidentally, the manager gives me two invitation papers, so maybe it is the greatest honor for me to give this both invitation papers to you” I looked at the Invitation and read the location, date and Time of the event Location: Fillydelphia music plaza Date : 12-11-2012 Time : 06.00 Am Then I answer generously “You don’t have to give me such this gift to me” Star is give the invitation to me “It’s okay, just take it, make it as your salary for now” I take the invitation and answer it with a Light smile “Well, In that case, thanks for your generosity, well, look at the time, I have to go now, it’s too late for me to go to bed, well, Good Night Mr. Star” as I start leave the café. “Good night Ms. Tavi” Answer Star as he close the cafe. On my way home, I keep thinking to whom I have to give the other invitation to, Think Tavi, to whom you will give the other invitation, hey, I think Vinyl can accompany me, she is my best friend I’ve ever had however . For the first time I meet Vinyl, she was playing a dub-step music in her official night club at Canterlot, I love her excellent Instrument of her music, when the show is over, I accidentally meet her and start a little introduction, after a long time, she becomes my best friend I ever see in Equestria, after arriving at the my apartment, I see Vinyl scratch just sit down in front of my apartment, she seems to be waiting for my arrival , Her head is lowered down, she looks very unhappy, then I walk close to her and talk to her, “Vinyl, what are you doing here in front of my apartment” While she stands up, her face just flooded with the tears, and she starts to hug me, then I ask her again “Vinyl, what happen?” The blue haired unicorn answer to me softly “My boyfriend, he’s broke up with me (Sniff) I can’t believe this, how dare (Sniff) he done this to me” I can’t believe that, she’s just been broken up by her boyfriend, he was very loyal Boyfriend I've ever met, but, I can’t believe this, I feel sorry to Vinyl, as her best mate, I will not disappoint her “It’s okay, you still have me… , as a best friend I mean” as I start clearing her tears. She answers smoothly with hugs me some more “Thank you Tavi, You’re my best Mare I’ve ever seen” The clock just pointed at 23.00, then I asked Vinyl to stay I my apartment for one night “Well, It’s been too dark for you to walk to home, do you like to stay for a night at my apartment?” She answers wisely “I Agree with you” I reply “That’s What I like to hear” After I make Vinyl calm, I can feel her heart is pounding smoothly, I am sure now she stops thinking about her incident tonight, I head to the bathroom and wash my face, I just look at the mirror and keep thinking. Somehow, I just feel my heart pound faster when I look at vinyl, her beautiful blue mane, with the clear white fur and her magenta Eyeglasses, I…. I love her more than her boyfriend, I love her just like the couple, NO, what am I thinking, she is my best friend, but not for long, maybe later, she will realize if I fall in love with her . Then I walk out of the bathroom and look at vinyl was combing her mane, She uses her magic from her horn to take the comb and fix her beautiful mane, all I can do is watching her beautiful mane as made up in order then she looks at the mirror and see me, then she said to me “Tavi, Is there something wrong?” I said nervously “What, no I am fine” with the red blushes appear on my face She starts to answer it “Tavi, you’re hiding something on your mind, what are you thinking?” I am answering it with nervous again “No, Its fine” as I start walking backward She walks towards me and whisper to me “Tavi, do you love me?” My heart is start pounding when I heard that word then I answer it “Well, love me as your best friend in Equestria or….. (Choke) r.... romantically?” She said with bravely “ I agree with your second answer of course” As she said that, my heart is pounding faster, What in the name of Celestia she talking about, I don’t know this but, it’s the way she tell that word too soon, I am not ready yet, perhaps, If I take it step-by-step, It will be so much simpler . Then Wisely I ask to hear ”Well, maybe you take all the way too soon, maybe we have to do it slowly, besides, I am not ready for this” She responded “Oh, but, Tavi…” I ask Generously “I know, you love me, but let us start it with a light Approach, like a date or something, hey, I’ve got an Idea, how about if we had a date at the five-star restaurant?” She said “Sounds like a good Idea to me, but I don’t have any money today” “Don’t worry, I’ll pay for them” “Oh thank you (Hug Octavia) You’re my best girl—Uh I mean my best friend in equestrian” She said as she start hug me. I return hug to her and say “You are not only my best friend, but also my best friend forever" as I look at the time pointing at 23.10 "look at the time, we have to go to bed now, unfortunately, I just had one twin bed in this apartment, Is it alright if you sleep right next to me?” “Well, it's fine” she answers honestly "Vinyl, have you freed this month" I ask her. She said "Well, my club will be under reparation until next month, so" With nods her head "yes, I am free today, why?" I take out my Invitation papers and show it to vinyl "Well, I have two invitation papers here for the national composers competition, do you want to accompany me to Fillydelphia?" She responds by putting her hooves on my shoulder "Tavi, you are my best friend, you never let me alone like now, so maybe it's okay if I accompany you, I just don't want to do nothing these months" As she starts nodding her head, I just feel better and better, I just hope, she can be closer to me, I just can't stop thinking about her, and I hope I am having the dream about her, I just can't wait for that special moment , I just stand here Daydreaming until she called me. "Tavi? Tavi?? TAVI???" say Vinyl with loud. I shocked "What, who?? oh sorry I just daydreaming about yo--" paused for a while. She asked me "Sorry, can't hear you" I answer it "I mean about the competition looks like" "Tavi, you look tired, so did I, we should go to bed now" she persuades me. I accept her persuasion “You right, now, shall we headed to the bed now” “With pleasure” as she answers it with sincerity. As I and Vinyl both head to the bed, I just feel It was a good Idea If I let her sleep next to me, because it's only the way she can rest very well, after I falling asleep, just hope, I have a dream about her . On that night, I just dream about her, it was a royal wedding, I was using the white dress, realize that I was a bride, every pony in the Equestria are invited here rich and poor, villager and Town people, everyone has come, but I don't see vinyl, But who's my couples . When I see the double doors opening, the wedding song starting to sound, when I see my couples, I just can't believe this, Vinyl was my couples, this is a wonderful dream I ever had, With the white dress she used, after the procession is finished, I start kiss her, and finally, we both entered the special wagon and go for the honeymoon, About 03.12 AM, I just open My eyes opened slightly, in that morning, my belly is tickle, my body feels like to be hugged, my heart is shocked when I realized if Vinyl is hugging me right now, I can’t believe this, she hugged me, I don’t know how I can reply it, maybe if I will hug her now, as I return the hug to the vinyl’s body , I can believe it, It's just the first time I never feel this feeling before, I hope I can do it again sooner.
