Octavia and Vinyl:The good old days

by Bronylover109


In a pickle-er-cloest

Octavia stared at Vinyl as they left their classroom "Uh.....What?" Vinyl was out of the know.
"Oh nothing,just thinking about how your social abilities surpass those of a common mare your age." Octavia explained.
"What?" Vinyl needed this broken down a bit. Octavia continued the look,but rolled her eyes,impatiently.
"I mean, The way you can just...talk,yell,shout,and party with strangers.It's...strange...yet fascinating..."
The white mare looked at Octavia with a complicated stare. Octavia broke the silence by asking "How do you do it?"
Vinyl stopped,and looked at her. "I just...do. That simple."
"Oh..." The grey mare had no words for it.
The DJ looked at her again. "Algebra next...bummer..."
"Don't be like that.." Octavia started.
Vinyl looked down at her "Like what?"
Octavia let a smirk appear on her face "Like..That..You know..."
" You know...."She tried again "Like 'I'm Vinyl,I hate learning...bleh.."
The white pony looked at her with a smile "I do not!"
She playfully hit Octavia on the fore-hoof
They laughed for a bit,upon reaching a closet before their class
"Guess it's time to..as you would say die"
Octavia smirked
"Wait...you take that class too!?" Vinyl seemed surprised.
"Um..Yeah?" Octavia had no idea why the DJ seemed so shocked at her going to algebra
"Wh-"
Before Octavia could finish, the DJ pulled her in a killer grip,and jammed them both in an old janitors closet.
"Woah..." Octavia looked around at the tricked out closet.
"Like it? I found it yesterday. Because the janitors got new storage,this closet is abandoned now." Vinyl smirked as she said the words.
"So...why are we in here?Class starts..NOW!?" Octavia tried to dart out the door-but Vinyl grabbed her.
"Chill,algebra is killer.We chill in her until it's over and go to the next class." Vinyl seems so calm about skipping class in a smelly-well-It's not smelly anymore...Er.That's not the point,....in a...tricked out janitors closet. Octavia thought. Her thoughts were cut off by a soda can thrown at her.
"Wha-" Octavia was lost.
"Got a cooler in here!" Vinyl yelled energetically.
Octavia smiled. "I'll never understand you Vinyl."
"So,Tavi. What do you think?" The DJ ran her hoof across the room,showing Octavia everything that was in there.
As she skimmed her eyes over the closet,the grey mare found some sponges,a small cooler,un-opened paint cans,and several other item that Vinyl probably snuck in there to improve the small room.
"Vinyl,don't you think that something like this is completely insane!?" Octavia scolded the young DJ.
"What do you mean? This place is awesome!" Vinyl wasn't getting the point of her roommates statement.
"I mean,skipping class in an abandoned janitor's closet!"
"Octavia,it's fine. It's not like I skip all of my classes,just a few of them. Plus,now that I'm here,it's not abandoned anymore!"
The cellist gave her friend an annoyed look, "You're not even worried about your grades going down,and failing?`
Vinyl smiled at her "Tavi,it's fine,trust me. Just one class,okay?"
Octavia resisted,but sighed,letting her friend keep her hostage. "Fine,just one class. You can keep me hostage,but only for algebra,the you let me go!"
The unicorn gave a small chuckle. "Keeping you hostage!? I am not! I'm merely holding you against your will for a little while." Vinyl excused her strange behavior with fake-logic.
Octavia gave a small chuckle. "You really enjoy this,don't you Vinyl?" She trotted over to her friend.
The DJ smiled,and laughed for a moment, "Yep!" She continued her smirk for several minutes,before Octavia interrupted her.
"So,why did you do this anyway?" Vinyl thought the question over for a moment. "Well,I found this closet,and considering the janitor dudes got new closets,I decided it would make a good hang-out. All it needs is a little fixing up,and it'll be a pretty cool place!" The unicorn's logic made no sense to the cellist at all.
"Well. That sums up almost nothing for me,but if you like it,I'm not going to tell you how to live your life,Vinyl."
Octavia watched as Vinyl tricked out her small closet. The unicorn had been using her powers to paint the walls,wipe down the sinks,and mop the floor.
Every time she used her magic,Octavia thought about how easier things would be if she were a unicorn. She was glad for what she could do though,and she knew Vinyl wasn't that good at using magic herself.
Octavia scanned the closet,running her eyes over every object in it. She let her eyes wander over to Vinyl,who still had her light blue magic holding several objects to clean,and decorate the closet.
She let out a small sigh,and stood on all fours. "Vinyl,do you need help with anything?" The DJ looked up at her friend, "Got it all under control. I got my horn doing the work!" The unicorn smiled at her friend,dismissing the offer. "Thanks though."
" No problem,Vinyl." Octavia beamed down at her friend.
"Hey,Tavi,close your eyes." Vinyl demanded. Instead of questioning her and getting an answer that made no sense, Octavia obeyed,and did as Vinyl commanded.
She could hear a few bangs and thuds from the room,and grew curious of what her roommate could have been doing.
"Open them!" Octavia obliged,and once her vision returned,she could see both her and Vinyl's cutie marks painted on the wall. Half of the wall was dark purple,with her mark in the correct shade,while the other half was dark blue,with Vinyl's black music note on top of it. "What do you think?" Vinyl stood back,letting her friend admire her work.
"I love it! You're amazing,Vinyl!" The cellist stood there,admiring the markings on the wall of the closet.
"I don't want to brag,but I was always the best at painting in my family." Vinyl said,clearly bragging.
Octavia chuckled. "You are very talented,I'll give you that."
Vinyl smirked "Aren't I?" She joked,
Octavia looked at her friend, "Vinyl,if anypony ever understands you,it'll be the day pigs fly." The grey mare also let a joke slide,opposing her elegant nature.
The pair sat there,laughing at each other's jokes,and smiling at each other.
The two mares looked at each other, their laughter still filling the closet. "Wow,We are the funniest ponies in all of Equestria! Aren't we,Tavi!?"
"Well Vinyl,we certainly are!" Octavia let herself go along with her roommate on the jokes for once,seeing as her next class was nearly starting.
"I will never understand you Vinyl."
