//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: My Immortal // by Twitch the Fox //------------------------------// There she was, as beautiful as ever. She had been working hard for hours in her studio. She was tired, and her mane was a mess and hanging into her face, but she still looked beautiful to me. "C'mon Tavi! You gotta hear this!" she said as she grabbed me by the hoof and pulled me into her recording studio. She was always making her techno music, and even though would much rather listen to my classical pieces, I always listen to her music because I love seeing her happy. "Ok, ok Vinyl, I'm coming!" I said with a small giggle in my voice. She has not been this excited about a song in quite some time, and it was making me smile to see her so energetic. She dragged me into the studio (it was actually just an empty guest bedroom in which Vinyl had set up a desk, a computer, amplifiers and some turntables) and sat me down into a chair. She clicked several buttons, pushed knobs and dials, and then worked some magic with the computer, opening up files and documents and programs of all sorts. (I had always admired her technological abilities. I use my computer simply to check my email) Finally, she pulled up a media player program and said, "Ok, now listen to this." and then she clicked play. I wish I could say I was impressed by what played for me. I really wish I could. But all I heard was: *wubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwubwub* It all sounded like noise to me, but when I glanced over at Vinyl, she was bobbing her head to the music and really getting into it. It may just sound like noise to me, but to her, this was sounding like a masterpiece; a work of art. I decided it was best to play along, and let her live her moment. So, there I sat through five minutes of wubs, bobbing my head and dancing just like Vinyl was. When the song ended, Vinyl looked at me and said, "Well? What did you think?" I could tell she was very proud of herself, and I loved seeing her happy, so I played along. "It was wonderful Vinyl. Very... different. What did you decide to call this one?" Well..." she said, blushing. I-I decided to name it..." she said with a stutter, and a blush coming across her face. "What did you call it?" I said with a friendly smile. "I decided to call it... 'Octavia'." Now it was my turn to blush. Even though I may not be able to appreciate her music in the way that she does, I admired that fact that she devoted one of her songs to me. I was absolutely flattered. "Thank you, Vinyl." I stated with a smile. "Your welcome Tavi." she said. And with that, I pulled her into an embrace. "I love you Tavi." she said. "I love you too Vinyl." I said. Then, we closed our eyes, and leaned in to kiss each other. Our lips inched closer and closer, until...
