// Story: Vinyl Scratch Drops The Bass Twice

//------------------------------//


Octy had left to audition,
but due to my bad disposition,
I had broken her bass,
The look on my face
Was one of dismay,
What the hay was Lrya doing here!?

One look seemed to confirm my dread,
Dear Celestia, Lyra was dead!
Even though that was not proving,
Poor Lyra wasn't moving!

I attempted to bury the unconcious mare,
When Lrya put an end to the futile affair,
She awoke with a bump,
Making me jump.
"Dammit, Lyra, you make me pull my hair!"

We began to formulate a plan,
Lyra suggested something human,
I said no,
So she suggested Tavi and I go
Out for dinner, and with that it began.

While Lyra brought the bass to Quick Fix,
I made salad, with mushrooms in the mix.
Tavi came, looking depressed.
"What's wrong?" I asked "I'm feeling stressed"
I held her, she squeezed out her conflicts.

We sat at the table eating our food,
When Lyra came in, ruining the mood.
"Octy!" I said diverting her attention,
"Are you enjoying my most recent edible invention?"
"Why yes, Vinyl," She replied after she chewed.

"I especially liked the smiley face," She said.
"I knew that was a good idea." I spoke, turning my head.
Lyra came out of the room, giving a thumbless thumbs up,
I nodded, taking a sip from my cup.
Lyra stepped out the door, meaning to close it quietly, slamming it instead.

Oh no! Lyra closed the door too fast!
Now I had to cover her ass.
I needed to say something soon!
I knew I'd seem like a love-struck bafoon:
"Octavia, I love you!" I said at last.

I kissed the mare with coat grey and mane black.
She just kissed me right back.
Tavi said "Sometimes, you're not very clever."
"I've been leading you on for forever!"
We got off the table and into the sack.

and then we sex

I woke up the next morning and I got out of bed.
Tavi was in the kitchen, shaking her head.
"You thought I wouldn't notice my bass was repaired?"
"Yeah, I did, my judgement was impaired."
"I could punish you, but I think I'll just love you instead."
