Chapter 11
It was finally time to go home. I couldn't wait to see Octey and Vinyl again.
That purple unicorn came in today and did some of that pony magic. I don't know how it worked but I guess it was a spell to help me remember, because I could remember a lot now. (Some memories more decent than others.)
I felt very bad for punching Vinyl in the muzzle. I'm sure she would understand though, she was my friend after all.
I was waiting on the bed with Syphony. Scootaloo had left the previous day, so it was just us.
"Hey, you should come over to Octavia's house sometime. I think it would be fun," I said.
She smiled. "Sounds good to me," she said.
The door opened.
"Vinyl!" I ran up to the white pony and hugged her. When she returned the embrace, I gave her a sloppy lick on the cheek.
"Ewe Pup, that's gross," she said as she wiped my slobber off her face.
I was just so happy to see her. My tail wouldn't stop flapping against the floor.
"Oh Pup. I brought ya something," she said in a sing song tone.
I gasped. "Present?!"
She giggled and pulled something out. It was my light blue, bloodstained bandana. She levitated it around my neck and tied it loosely.
I smiled happily.
"Lucky, you get to go home." A certain changeling pouted.
"Oh that's right, your mother and father asked me to pick you up too Symphony," Vinyl said.
Syphony giggled. "It's Syphony, not symphony." With that correction she hopped off the bed and trotted over to me. She gave a toothy smile and then looks at the bandana.
“Pup?” “She asked.
“Yes Syphony?” I answered.
She looked away from the bandana and to my face. “Why do you have that around your neck?”
“Because, I want to wear it,” I said to her.
The doctor trotted in the room. Looking at vinyl, he grimaced and sighed. “What are you doing here Mrs. Scratch?” He asked, acting as if he was disheartened by her very presence.
“I’m here to pick up a Syphony Waves, and a Pup Scratch,” she said.
I smiled, already walking out the door.

“Octey!” I ran to the grey mare, who had her arms extended. I hugged her as tight as I could, my tail going crazy while doing so. I was so happy.
“Ahem.” Syphony politely cleared her throat. “If you’re done being all sappy, can you please show me to the restroom?”
Vinyl smiled, politely nodding and she trotted over to a door in the back hallway. “Here you go Syphony.” Vinyl stated, opening the door to let her in.
Syphony galloped across the room and stopped the door. “Um, could you come in with me…” she said with shame in her posture.
“What, why?” Vinyl asked.
“Because I’ve never used it on my own…”
“Well good news now you have,” Vinyl said, nudging Syphony in the door and shutting it.
“Vinyl!” Octavia shouted.
“Fine.” Vinyl glumly stated, walking into the bathroom.
Octavia stared at the door for a few seconds before looking at me. “That reminds me, Pup,” she said. “Where have you been going?”
“Outside,” I said happily.
Her face contorted, growing disgusted. “Eww, Pup. That’s unsanitary,” she said.
“What, I’ve been doing it my whole life,” I answered back, a bit sorry now. I looked at her with an innocent smile, making my ears fold back.
Octavia sighed, putting a hoof up and rubbing her forehead. “Pup, you need to learn how to use the bathroom… we’ll start tomorrow.”
When Syphony and vinyl came out, Syphony ran to me while Vinyl lazily walked past everypony to get at a bag of potato chips.
Octavia nuzzled her lovingly as she walked past. Snowball meowed and I grabbed her. I hugged the feline and put her down. As soon as that cat left my paws, Syphony tackled me.
“Hey?! What’s the big idea?” I shouted.
She climbed off and grinned down at me. “Awe,” she mocked. “What’s the matter, did pup get beat up by a girl.” She continued with a fake sympathy in her tone.
“Oh yeah,” I said, grabbing her front legs and pulling her over me and rolling on top of her. “whatcha gonna do now, huh?” I asked beginning to poke her sides. With each poke she let out a loud giggle. I continued the merciless tickling, causing her to laugh and giggle.
She couldn’t get me off of her, even though she tried hard.
“Ok, that’s enough.” Octavia called from the kitchen.
I got up, off of Syphony. She was still giggling profusely.
I walked in the kitchen, and saw Octey and Vinyl kissing.
“Eww, gross!” I yelled.
After Vinyl ever so slowly extracted her tongue from Octavia’s mouth, she looked over at me. I snorted in disgust and walked out to play with Syphony. I can’t I went in there for, but I know it was for a snack that I had just lost appetite for.
I walked in the living room and saw Syphony. She giggled when she saw me. “Hey Pup, do you have a room?”
I nodded and ran up the stairs. Syphony closely following.
