Three days had passed since the incident at the party, and Vinyl and Octavia were in the hospital recovering from the devastating damage they had both inflicted. The DJ needed stitches and surgery on her face, leaving scars up and down her face. Octavia needed a cast on her leg, covering her shattered bone. They both looked worse for the wear, but they both had small grins on their faces.
"I hate the hospital - this is boring. How did Rainbow Dash put up with it here after that gnarly crash?" the pony with a blue streaked mane asked. It was boring in the hospital and this drove Vinyl mad.
"Oh it's not that bad. I'll tell you a little secret, if you would like; you have to promise not to tell anyone else, okay?"asked the giggling nurse.
"Oh yes, that might lighten the mood, and this is the best thing I've had to look forward to in three days," said Vinyl.
"Well, guess what? You know Rainbow Dash?" chuckled the nurse. "She was in here not too long ago actually, with a broken wing."
"And? That happens to ponies all the time," Vinyl said, rolling her eyes.
"Oh that's not all! She took up...reading!" She laughed.
"Wait Rainbow Dash is...reading? Pfft! Ouch, my face!" Vinyl said as she bellowed out laughing, trying not to contort her face and mess with her painful stitches. As it just so happened, Rainbow Dash was just outside the window practicing her tricks when she heard the news about Vinyl and Octavia. So, she stopped at the hospital to see them.
When Rainbow had heard the conversation, she blushed a crimson red and blurted out,
"Nurse! You said you wouldn't tell anypony!"
"Oh Rainbow, I would have thought half of Ponyville heard the commotion you caused, so why not tell two more ponies?" the cheerful nurse giggled as she left the room.
"You know, reading's not that bad Vinyl," said a familiar voice that lay behind the curtain.
"Wait, is that Octavia? You and Octavia are in the same room?" squealed Rainbow Dash. "I thought they would separate you two! You tried to kill each other!" she continued.
"Well I suppose you naturally would think that, but you see, umm, this is sort of embarrassing Miss Dash, but we were actually fighting over a stallion back from music school," Octavia said, chuckling nervously.
"And back in music school our hate kinda grew for over this stallion, and the sad part is later, we found out he was, um, gay," said Vinyl, laughing slightly.
"Are you serious? You tried to kill each other over a stallion. And on top of that, one that's gay?" Rainbow asked, shocked in disbelief.
Trying to change the subject Octavia asked, "Hey Vinyl, remember that one time at band camp, when we first met each other?"
"I-I don't believe this, wait till the girls hear about this," said Rainbow, flying out of the room.
"Yes I do actually, you were just like me and I was just like you," she said with a smile.
"It's weird how things turn out. You know there's something to be learned from this," replied the DJ.
"I agree, but what should we do about it?" Octavia asked.
"How about a letter to the princess?" A purple pony was slowly approaching them.
"Oh, I know you, you're that mare who was with the princess at the gala! That must make you...Twilight Sparkle," Octavia noted with a smile.
"Wait, how did you know we were here?" asked Vinyl with a confused look.
"Rainbow Dash, duh," replied Twilight.
"But she's not even awake! She's asleep on that cloud!" said Vinyl, pointing out the window.
"Never mind that right now - you have a letter to make, don't you?" Twilight offered a polite smile.
"Oh yes, you're right. Shall we get started?"asked Octavia. And so they did.
Dear Princess Celestia,
As you may have heard, there was a brawl yesterday between myself and Vinyl Scratch. We're two old friends, and we almost...killed each other. Anyway, we learned that no matter what happens, never let a stallion - or anypony for that matter - stand in the way of two great friends.
From your loyal musicians,
Vinyl Scratch and Octavia.
The End
P.S : I put two movie references in here, can you find them?
