//------------------------------// // Interview Aftermath (Octaafia und Vinilo Gratter) // Story: The Club's Connected to the Boutique // by firebirdabirdoffire //------------------------------// The interview was over now. Because I could not make it interesting in the slightest to safe my life. The guests were gone. And Octavia didn't learn much about her friend shockingly. It ended on good terms. But only for the interviewers. Between the musicians it ended with a long fuse lit. The first thing that was said after interview: "Why did you call that sweet filly's big sister a white four-hooved Narwhal? You might have hurt her feelings. Not only they're the daughters of our goods friends the Belle couple. Who knows what they'll think of us now." The 'might have hurt her feelings' bit stung Vinyl a bit. She loves kids. And while Sweetie Belle isn't hurt, Vinyl still would never knowingly hurt a child. Especially not... "Well her sister insulted me while we never have met." "If you have never met her how do you know she is a white four-hooved Narwhal if you haven't met?" Said Octavia flatly, she was often very observant of the wording in conversations. "I-I have read about her in a fashion magazine once, in the gossip section." Excuses are magic. "That explains it. You should know better than reading those. We're going to visit the Belle family this week and you are going to apologize to Sweetie Belle. Understood?" Octavia always found lecturing a friend or anypony for that matter who's around her age annoying. "Yes ma'am!" Vinyl had a hard-to-read expression, thanks to her glasses. Vinyl seemed to grin, be scared, thinking of something else entirely and/or not taking this seriously. So much for being great friends... I need to showcase that more in future chapters. "You're certainly grumpy today. Chill out. Didn't catch enough sleep?" "I might have stretched it." 'You and your "mystery room" always keep me up speculating.' "You should know better than that. Knowing that three little fillies were looking forward to interviewing us. Be glad you didn't come across as grumpy during it." Said Vinyl in a tone that mocks seriousness and Octavia's tone. If lecturing wasn't annoying already, ironic echoes will do and/or finish the job. And Vinyl knows this much to her dismay. Well, not much to do but bring up something else completely. "Since when do read fashion magazines?" One of her eyebrows raised. "Only once, at the dentist." Vinyl said as her lips twitched. *Eyeroll* "Let's change the subject: I'm going to shop for dresses. I need some for my uncle's birthday get together. I know you probably don't know where I can find dresses of great quality nearby?" "I heard good word on the street about 'Carousal Boutique', even in Canterlot." Octavia blinked and stared at her friend. "I certainly did not expect an answer." Vinyl stuck out her tongue. "Where is it located?" Vinyl shrugged. "Iunno. Well while you're going shopping, I'm going home. After I'm done wrapping things up of course." Wrapping things up when the thing you did that day is being interviewed is completely necessary. "Okay, until later then." Said Ms. Cellist. '"See ya." Said Ms. DJ as her Blue magic levitated her walkmare and its headphone. The door closed and Octavia is gone. "This is going to be confusing for me. But it must be done."
