//------------------------------// // Make Up and Bust // Story: A Beautiful Melody // by RainbowShy1241 //------------------------------// “Hey Pinks” I said softly as I entered the room completely and closed the door behind me. Pinkie's head shot up and looked at me with dried up tear marks visibly on her face. She didn't answer, she simply sobbed even more. I slowly walked closer to her trying to stay calm, fighting my own tears back. I was now directly in front of her, heart racing faster than ever before I started to talk. "Do you wanna talk?" Seriously... That's the best you could come up with. I scolded myself trying to think of another way to start the conversation. "I would like that." The pink pony said to my surprise, and even with all of this she was still able to crack a smile. "Okay!.. What should we talk about?" Very very stupid move there Vinyl. "I dunno, you're the one who asked." She replied now giggling. I was amazed by how she reacted, I guess she really is the element of laughter. "Well, I just wanna start off by saying that I'm sorry, I never should have treated you that way. You really deserved better than that." "It's fine Viny', I forgive you." "It can't be that easy Pinks, there must be something I can do to make it up to you." The party pony thought a little, then a devilish smile spread across her lips. Normally I wouldn't be scared but, this is Pinkie Pie. "Okay then, how about you and I go and pull a couple pranks. You up for it?" Thank Celestia it was only that, I loved to do a couple pranks every now and then. "Alright then, I guess I can do that." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So there we were, at the town center hiding behind a water fountain waiting for our first victim to walk by. Our weapon of choice, a toy turtle ment to squirt water when we push on a pad. Pinkie said she wanted to try this prank with Rainbow Dash, but they didn't do it because the target would have been too sensitive for the joke. Everything was ready! All that was left was an unknowing pony to walk in front of it. "There's one." Pinkie whispered as she got ready to push. I looked up to take a peek at who the target was and I spot her. Is that Octavia, the mare that I met at the train station over in Canterlot? What is she doing in Ponyville? The mare was getting closer to the fountain but I was so caught up in my thoughts that I blocked everything but the mare. All of a sudden I heard a scream. Quickly taken out of my daydream I look up to see Pinkie on the floor laughing and a very wet... Octavia! The grey pony heard Pinkie laughing and trotted over to the other side of the fountain. I hid myself on another angle where she couldn't see me. "Pinkie! Why did you wet me!" She said as angry as ever. "And you too." She said as she started walking towards me. After seeing me she had a shocked look on her face. "H-hey" I responded. "I can not even believe that you could be as insensitive as to do this to ponies" The gray mare said in her might I add very sexy accent. "Aw c'mon Octavia, it was just a little joke." Pinkie said giggling slightly. "A-a joke! You think this is funny! I'm all wet! I'm just so flabbergasted!" Octavia finished saying. "Woah now don't you go all fancy with words I don't understand. Now there's no prob, I have some friends who live near here. I can take you there to dry off." I said and I will admit, with a bit of a flirt. "Well... I guess I could use a towel... But put that away Pinkamena, these are not the type of pranks you should pull on ponies..." She said calming down a bit. "Gee, yes mom." Pinkie said as she took her fake turtle and placed it in her bag. "I guess I'll see you two around." She said giving me a wink. Wait... How'd she now?... Anyways, I waved her off and me and Octavia started walking towards Lyra and Bonbon's place. "I'm sorry 'bout that Octy, I didn't know it was you who she was gonna spray." I said awkwardly. "Oh, so it would make a difference if it wasn't me." She said as she looked at me. "Um... Well I mean... What?" I rambled. "I'm joking... Vinyl, right?" She said calmly. "The one and only!" Wow... Did I really just say that? Just then we got to the front steps of the house. I opened the door and we walked in. "Wait here, I'll be back." I said as I dashed off to the bathroom closet where they kept the towels. I slowly trotted back levitating a towel in front of me, she grabbed it and started wipeing herself down. "You could have taken a seat you know." "Well, in case you didn't notice, I'm a bit wet." She giggled and finished drying herself. I took the towel and put it in a laundry basket near the bathroom door. "Thanks for the towel" She said in a slightly awkward tone. "I guess I'll be off then." She finished reaching for the door. "Wait!" I said, she turned around and looked at me. "I gotta make it up to you for this crazy thing, how about I take you to a restaurant or something?" She giggled. "Sounds good, I'm free tomorrow. How's 1 o'clock sound?" "Sounds good to me. Where do you live, I'll pick you up." "Um... From here, go to the town hall, turn to your left and not far after you should see my house on the right hand side. It's big and red, you can't miss it." She said as I tried to memmorise it. "It's a date then!" C'mon Vinyl, don't make it obvious. "It's a date." She said with a smile as she openned the door and started walking off. I really couldn't help but stare at her plot as she walked off. "Eyes up Vinyl." She said and then continued walking. I blushed and closed the door walking up to the couch and lying down for a rest. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Not long after Lyra and Bonbon walked in. I got up and jumped to the front door. "Girls! Guess what! Oh Celestia something amazing happened!" Lyra was the first to respond. "Calm down Vinyl, you're gonna break something." Bonbon then replied. "What is it Vinyl?" I said excitedly "Well, you know that mare I saw at the train station. She's here in ponyville and I saw her and me and Pinkie, well we kinda sprayed her... But that's not the point..." "Woah, slow down there... You sprayed her?" Lyra said with a wide smirk. Bonbon smaked her on the shoulder. "You perv, Lyra, let the girl finish. You were saying Vinyl" "Okay." I took a deep breath. "I asked her out on a date, and she said yes!" "Good for you Vinyl." Bonbon replied sweetly. "Yeah, if you need any help on how to please her, you call me." Lyra winked. "Lyra!" Bonbon said in a scolding tone. "What? You like it don't you?" Lyra smirked. Bonbon cleared her throat. "Anyways, where are you taking her?" "I don't really know to be honest... Do you have any recommendations?" I said unsure. "You could always take her to that nice Italian restaurant over near ponyville general." Bonbon said. "Well, I'm gonna go take some z's, you too can continue talking about this. G'night" Lyra said followed by a yawn. "Goodnight honey." Bonbon said. "'Night Lyra" Bonbon finished explaining to me what the restaurant served. How to be polite, as if I didn't already know. And obviously, as she said, the most important thing. DO NOT be late.
