"Okay, so Rhythm was all like: "NOMNOMNOM" And Vinyl went: "Yay!" And Octavia went: "Disgusting! I think I'm going to--"

"Okay Pinkie, your fourth-wall breaking time is up."

"Aww..."



Sorry my dear readers, I promised Pinkie Pie some time to break the fourth wall. Since she also did such in the last chapter, that was the amount of time I allotted her. Everyone knows you can't break a Pinkie Promise, or else, *shudders*.
Anyway, on to the story! M'yes!


When we got back to the house, Octavia was already at the stove, cooking breakfast. My eyes lit up at the sight of my (second) favourite meal: pancakes and hay bacon.

I reached for the pan to grab a piece of the bacon, when Octavia asked me;

"Is it really worth burning your hoof over?"

I came back to my senses, realizing the burner was still on.

"Oh, yeah. Heheh... the pan's hot..."

"You can eat when it's done cooking." I felt like it was my mother talking.

"Yum! It's pancake time!" Vinyl announces. I sprint to the table, only for Octavia to give me a disapproving look.

I walk back, and walk slowly to the table, Octavia smiles. She was definitely turning into my mother.

"So," Octavia says, now that we were seated. "What exactly did you two do out there?"

"We went looking for Rhythm's headphones." Vinyl tells her. "He lost them on the way into town last night."

"Did you happen to find them?"

"Well yeah, but..."

"But what?" Octavia asks her.

I just stared at the table, picking at my food.

"They kinda... exploded..." Vinyl says sadly.

"Oh, I'm sorry Rhythm, if I could--

"No problem Octavia, don't worry about it." I assure her. "I liked 'em, my parents gave them to me before they died. The quality really sucked, but I kept them for the sentimental reasons. I don't need them though, I don't need headphones to tell my parents loved me, even if they didn't always show it."

"Wow, that's quite brave of you, are you sure you'll be okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Oh, I almost forgot, here are some bits to pay for the whole "bed and breakfast deal."

"Nah, don't worry about it." Vinyl told me, holding back my hoof. "Think of it as a gift from a friend!"

She pulls me closer, and whispers: "If you ever tell anypony, I will end you."

I chuckle. "Alright then, I'd better get going, See ya around you two!"

I trot off into the distance.

Octavia says to Vinyl: "You're crushing on him, aren't you?"


LET'S PARTY!!!

Goddammit Pinkie!
