But seriously now, feel free to call it shit, it's been a total ball ache trying to get myself to finish this bit but the journey is close to over. AND YOU KEPT ME GOING! YEAH YOU, READING THIS RIGHT NOW! GOOD JOB YOU! But yeah, Enjoy! After a long and involved discussion about how Vinyl though that she should be a character from a certain fighting game Fluttershy decided it was time to get back onto the topic of why Vinyl had asked for their audience. "So, erm, why did you ask to see me and Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy enquired. Vinyl racked her brain as she tried to remember what had happened before she fell unconscious; Why was it so hard to remember? What could it have been? "I'm sorry but I can't remember." Vinyl said, a downcast look on her face. "It's just all black from after I woke up." "Oh, erm, that doesn't sound good, maybe being unconscious for so long made you, er, ill." Fluttershy finished quietly. "What, no, I feel fine." Vinyl replied. "It's just that it's all fuzzy, as if I'm underwater." "Well maybe if you remember what led up to you wanting to meet us we could figure it out together." Fluttershy finished, a very genuine smile upon her face; A smile that convinced Vinyl that Fluttershy only wanted to help her. "It's worth a shot, but where do I start?" "How about when you got back from Canterlot?" "Ok, I'll try." Vinyl closed her eyes and focused herself on what had happened prior to her arriving and Fluttershy's cottage, and like a dam that had been burst it all rushed back to her, loosing Green Star, drinking herself into a hole, being dragged out by her manager, and visiting her old friend, Octavia. It was then that Vinyl's mind shut down, what had she done? To the pony that had saved her from herself all those years ago. "I've remembered." Vinyl said, her eyes darting wide. "What was it? If you don't mind telling me." "Well it's kind of awkward to talk about." Vinyl said looking down to her hooves. "It's alright, if you don't want to ask me it can't be that important, no offense." Fluttershy said blushing. "No, it is important. I need to ask you." Vinyl said, her courage building up. "It's okay, if it's something personal I can keep it a secret." She said, taking a sip from her drink. Vinyl drew a big breath and centred herself. "I need relationship advice." Vinyl cried. This was so unexpected that Fluttershy nearly spat her drink across the room and almost choked on the beverage. "You need what?" She coughed, "Relationship advice?" "I knew you'd be like this about it." Vinyl said, through gritted teeth. "I'm leaving." She stood up and turned for the door. "No, wait, I'm sorry I offended you, I didn’t mean to sound so, doubtful." Fluttershy said. "But if you want to leave, I won't stop you." Vinyl stopped and sighed, she had finally made it to Fluttershy's and she was just going to walk out because of an idle comment? No, that wasn't how she worked. She turned back around, walked back over the seat and sat down. "Okay, I'll stay, but I need to ask some questions." "That's fine, we've all been in your situation." Fluttershy said, another very genuine smile entrancing Vinyl. "So what do you need to ask?" "I need to ask you about how... about how..." "Go on." "About how you and Rainbow Dash found out that you loved one another." "Me and Rainbow? Well I had a crush on her ever since the race where she got her cutie mark, maybe even before that." "Yes but how did you know?" Vinyl enquired, "Like, what did you feel inside?" "Oh, well it's like a sort of fuzzy feeling inside of you, like there's a sort of blanket wrapped around your insides." Fluttershy said, smiling. "Oh, Kay?" Vinyl said a look on her face, half confused and half sceptical. "Trust me you'll know if you feel it." The two sat there for a while, Fluttershy sipping at her tea and Vinyl in thought, did she have this "fuzzy" feeling inside of her? Did she actually like Octavia like that? After all this time? "Fluttershy, can I ask you something else?" Vinyl enquired. "Of course." Fluttershy replied. "Just before you got together, how did you sort of, well, how did you start your relationship?" "In what way do you mean?" "Like, Who asked who? Where was it? How did who ask who?" "Oh, right. Well You see once the race was finished and I went back up to Cloudsdale I went to see Rainbow to see whether she won the race or not, once I got outside her house I saw through the window that her and her father were celebrating something and I thought it would have been rude to intrude, so I turned around and start to head home back to my home when I heard Rainbow call me from the door of her house." "What did she say?" Vinyl asked. "Well, something along the lines of, "Fluttershy, what are you doing out here?"." "So I told her that I was coming to see if she had won the race or not, at which point she told me, "Yeah of course I won, but I have even better news, come in and I'll tell you all about it."." "So I did and she told me she got her cutie mark, and I told her and her father that I had got mine, we were all so excited so we celebrated well into the night. " "When we realised what time it was Rainbow's father said that he didn't want me walk home on my own that late and that I could stay over with Rainbow, he said he would go out quickly and tell my parents, so he did. " "Me and Rainbow were pretty tired now so we went upstairs to her bedroom to get some sleep, so she hopped up onto her bed and lay down." ""Umm, Rainbow? Where shall I sleep" I asked." "Oh, sorry Fluttershy, erm, I got get some extra sheets or something for you, or, I guess you could sleep up here with me, if you want." "So I got up onto the bed next to her and lay down facing her, we looked into each other's eyes and then we, well, we, erm, kissed." "I see" Vinyl said, starting to understand. "Her body was so warm and nice to snuggle against and when we kissed it was so nice and then after the kissing, ohohoho, after the kissing." Fluttershy purred half closing her eyes. "NONONONONO, TOO MUCH INFO THANKYOU VERY MUCH!" Vinyl shouted, putting her hooves over her ears. "Oh, sorry. But that's how it went and we've been together since." Fluttershy squealed, turning the same shade of red as your common tomato. "It's fine." Vinyl said, taking down her hooves, "I think I get it now. Thank you Fluttershy." Vinyl stood up, stretched, and looked at Fluttershy. "Where are you going, you should rest some more." "Nope. I've got something to do." Vinyl said, walking towards the door. "What?" "Fix something that I broke long ago." She said, and with that she set off to Ponyville.
