The Formative Years

by Lonepone


Suit yourself

"Vinyl, wake up" says a voice as it shakes my shoulder.

"Eh?"

"Vinyl, come on, wake up. I'm determined to make sure your at least up in time for class" says Octavia.

"Celestia dammit, why does every chapter start with me waking up somehow?" I mumble.

"What?"

"Ah yahm!" I mumble loudly. "Did you at least grab my Mountain Dew?"

"What? No"

"Problema número uno" I say under my breath. "Problem number two" I say louder "is why your doing this"

"Well" she says in her annoying prissy voice "I felt sorry for our argument last night, so I did your assignment for you, and I'm determined to wake you up in time for class. Hopefully then you'll be willing to apologize"

"So your doing this hoping I'll apologize?"

"Yes. Last night was your fault"

"Problema número tres"

"Speak English please"

"Fine. Problem number three. Your such a stuck up brat that you insist that it was my fault. But you know what, I'll drop it since you did my assignment"

She seems to take this as a step forward, and so starts to walk out of the room. "I knew you'd see it my way"

"Although you know what works better then anything else?"

Personality wise, not my type.

"What?" She says exasperated.

Although she's kinda cute when she's angry.

"Come here and I'll show you"

And it'll be more much more exciting to have something, or somepony, to look forward at the end of the day.

She walks towards my bed. I quickly look at the clock. We got a little time. When she's within range, I bring a hoof around the back of her neck, and try and pull her down for a kiss.

And she reacts strongly. She pulls back, and I let go. "Vinyl, I hope to Luna that was a joke, and a bad one"

"Never done it with another mare before? Used to big, handsome stallions in bed?"

She blushes a bright red. Damn, she's cute when she's upset. "My. It. You. Why? Does" she stammers. "My personal life in that area is my own. And how could you even think about something like that right now?"

"Well, I saw that we had some time on the clock, so I decided I would wanna have a little fun"

"No, that... Uugghh. I'm a mare. You're a mare"

"That's the point" I have a feeling that I know where this is going.

"That's not right!" And it went there.

"Suit yourself. I'll find somepony else then. New rule then: sock on the door handle, don't come in, no matter what you hear"

She stares at me. "I'm gonna go take a shower, if you need anything, don't knock" I brush past her, and walk into the shower.

I can just see her going to write a letter home to mommy and daddy about how her room mate is a terrible sin upon Celestia's Equestria.

But this isn't just Celestia's planet. While Celestia may oppose ponies like me from basic rights, we do have a champion from royalty. Luna. She has been the largest supporter of equality in equestria.

I push the politics from my mind. I'm not planning on marriage, so why bother. And with her viewpoint, I won't be trying again at anything within the next 100 years.

I turn on the hot water, and just stand there, thoughts blank. I pop open the shampoo bottle, and the smell of coffee beans waft over me.

How nice it would be to be smelling it directly from her hair, not the bottle. My mind wanders, envisioning what could be happening right now. Octavia, instead of pulling back, leaned forward. How, at first, we would kiss slowly, exploring, and then more passionately, as our hooves roamed each others bodies. I could've turned off the clock, and not worried about classes today...

My mind snaps back to myself, with one if my front hooves dangerously close to being in between my back legs.

'No' I tell myself.

'But why not? Your a 19 year old mare, you have every right to' I counter.

'Because I live with her, and that could get odd'

'But your the great DJ Pon3, surely you can handle a little crush. Go ahead'

'No. Not only am I living with her, but I'm sleeping in the same room as her. I'm sure I can find some mare or colt friend to be with'

I walk out of the shower, pat myself down, and hesitantly walk into the main room. Octavia has already left. The assignment is nowhere to be found. I'm glad she's left. I need a little time away from her, and she probably would be in full bitch mode anyways. And so would I, I think.

I pull down a box of cereal, and look at my full schedule. First up, I notice I got two rotations, red days and blue days. Three classes each day, each class three hours long. Yesterday was a red day. Basic Musical Technique first, then General Fitness, a lunch break, and then Musical History last. Today is a blue day, which are gonna be my favorites, I can tell. Basic Music Suites first block, and then Drums next. I got lunch, and then DJing for beginners next. I'm not a beginner, but the school procedure is that no matter what, you cannot skip to more advanced classes unless your teacher moves you up. I grab my laptop, and head out the door for my class.
