The stage lights dimmed to where you could barely see the stage. A grey unicorn with a mic and a clipboard popped her head out of the curtains and then looked over at the greyish earth pony. "Octavia. Your on in 30."
The mare looked up from the phone and nodded at the unicorn. "Alright." Octavia looked down at the phone and sighed, Please don't fail me now Vinyl. Octavia thought to herself.
The grey unicorn came back around 15 minutes later, "Octavia your on in 15."
The grey earth pony didn't even look up, but she nodded anyways. "I gave you enough time, Vinyl." Octavia grabbed the phone and dialed her friend's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey Vinyl, It's Octavia."
"Oh Hey Octi! Wats up?"
"I was wondering if your going to come to my concert cause I got a seat saved up for you." Octavia asked her friend slightly getting worried.
"Aw no is that tonight? Aw geez Octi i'm so sorry I totally blanked on this one. I'm actually in the middle of working on a big project with Neon Lights right now... we've just hit a break through with the- I just don't think I'll make it to this one. I swear I'll make the next one though... I-I promise. Okay?"
"It's fine..."
"Awesome. Now I really got to get back to-"
"Actually no, no it's not fine, Vinyl. You've done this to me before and this is a really big thing for me and your not there for me..."
"Yeah I know. I-I just-"
"I just can't believe you." whispered Octavia.
"Octi come on. You know how my schedule can get! Look after tonight I-I swear things will be different, okay? We can go to that restaurant that you-" Vinyl tried not to argue with her best friend.
"I don't want you sorry Vinyl..."
"Wait, what?" Said Vinyl.
Consider this friendship over."
"Octavia. Come on you don't mean that!
"You let me down to many times..."
"Wait! No! Please O-Octavia!" Octavia sighed before hanging the phone up. "I'm sorry."
The same grey unicorn came back and tapped the cello-playing mare's shoulder. "You on in 5."
Octavia looked up at the mare and faked a smiled, "Okay." Octavia stopped for a minute, "Thanks."
The grey earth pony walked out onto the stage and grabbed her cello's bow and started to play as the lights brightened.
At Vinyl's place
The white unicorn sighed, "Sorry Neon... I-I can't concentrate. I got to go..." The white unicorn got up and bolted out of her house, heading towards the stadium that Octavia was playing in. How could I be so stupid! Vinyl tried to hold back the tears. Vinyl stopped in front of a guard, "Hey come on! I'm telling you my friend's playing right now so let me in!" Vinyl glared at the guard.
The guard sighed with annoyance "I said this to you already! I can't let you in, I can let you in at the interval!"
The white unicorn kept glaring at the tall guard, "I don't wanna go in at the interval I wanna go in now! I need to be in there now!"
The guard sighed once more, "Sorry I can't allow it."
The blue-maned unicorn growled, "Fine if you want to do this the hard way we'll do this the hard way!" Vinyl puts her hoof in the air, getting ready to slap the guard when he grabs her hoof with his magic.
"Don't"
"No. Get off of me! I need to see her! OCTAVIA!" The unicorn screamed for her old friend, hoping she'll hear her.
Back in the stadium
Octavia finished playing her songs and took a bow. "Thank you..." The earth pony whispered before disappearing behind the curtain. The grey mare looked at her phone and sighed before turning around and going into her dressing room. There was a picture lying on the desk of her and Vinyl. Vinyl was playing her Cello and she was playing with Vinyl's dj system. Octavia walked over to the picture and flipped it over. There was writing on the back, Do you remember? The grey mare dropped the picture and turned away from her vanity. "Yes I do remember... But I don't want to..." Octavia sighed and took off her black bowtie and put on her usual pinkish-purplish bowtie. "I don't want to..."
Octavia's manager walked into her room, "Your wanted at the interval."
She sighed and headed outside, ignoring her manager's orders. "I just want to go home and go to bed..." The musical mare trotted past the guard not even noticing her old friend.
"Octavia?"
The grey mare froze when she heard Vinyl's voice, "Please go..." The grey mare sighed before racing off.
The white unicorn raced after her ex-friend. "Please wait Octavia! I need to talk to you!" Vinyl yelled after her vanished friend.
By the time Octavia got home she was soaking wet. The musical mare shook herself to try and dry off before stepping into her living room. "Ugh. Why'd she make it difficult?" The grey mare walked through her kitchen and up the stairs. She walked down the hallway and into her bedroom. Octavia laid down onto her bed as she stared up at her ceiling, listening to the steady rhythm of the rain beating down on her roof. "Is it bad that I miss her?" The musical pony sighed and turned onto her side. "Probably."
