//------------------------------// // ...And Her Wedding Is Today // Story: Vinyl Drops By // by MistyShineStar //------------------------------// Vinyl sat in her bedroom, hooves behind her back, lounging around. There were about ten potato chips on her chest right below her chin. Every time she wanted one, she would stick her tongue out and lizard it. Rarity had stumbled in on her at the time. She had felt guilty about what she had said about her own sister to, once again, her own sister. Especially after buying her those earrings. "What are you doing, Vinyl?" she asked, but gently; not with confusion or disgust. "Enjoying being a bachelorette before the wedding," she murmured, lapping up another chip and swallowing it noisily. She sat up and sighed as the chips fell down her chest, leaving some crumbs behind. "That was delicous..." she said sadly, as she moped on her bed. Rarity looked Vinyl up and down. She had an unkempt mane, and her fur looked more yellow than before around her mouth. She was covered in crumbs. "Vinyl Scratch! Have you been smoking again?" "What? No!" she said. "It's mustard, I swear!" She wiped off her upper lip. "See?" "Vinyl, your wedding is today. Perhaps you should get ready!" she stomped her hoof with a stern look on her face, before softening again. "And...thanks for those earrings..." She looked up awkwardly. Vinyl smiled warm-heartedly. "No problem, Rares. And you're right. But before I do, there's one more thing I want to do as a bachelorette that my wife would never let me do married." "And what's that?" "Chug a cup of bacon grease." She smiled menacingly. That's when Rarity barfed. "Yo, Rares! You alright?" Vinyl said, looking over the fellow unicorn. Rarity groaned and held onto her head. "Y-yes." Rarity stood up shakily. "Just severely grossed out. Don't ever mention chugging"-she burped sickly-"bacon grease again..." "Uh, sure, whatever makes you happy." That's when Rarity noticed something. Vinyl Scratch was decked out. Her hair was shiny and up in a nice bun, two strands of hair rolling out in the front on either side of her face. She had her poofy dress on, a gorgeous ivory colour, and the grease and mustard was wiped away from her lips. Her eyelashes were much longer, and she was wearing gray eyeshadow. Her hooves were shining. Vinyl noticed the mare looking her down. "Like it? I did it myself!" Vinyl grinned widely. "Where did you-" "That's none of your business," Vinyl said darkly. "Anyway, I need to get you ready." Vinyl sat her up and put her on a chair. It was a quick flurry of rough hair washing, nose powdering, lip stick swabbing, and finally, swishing her into a mirror. Rarity smiled widely and clapped her hooves together, stars in her eyes, and started blabbering about how much she loved it. She was wearing a light blue dress, the colour Vinyl and Octavia had agreed on for the bridesmaids. She had on some glass shoes, and her hair was combed flat with the exception of one curled strand next to her face. "I demand that you tell me how you found these looks!" "Let's just say, I had to clear my internet history..." "Why, Vinyl?" "I had to look up the girliest shit, man!" Vinyl stuck her tongue out. "So gross and weird. But I guess I had to, since you were passed out. OH! I almost forgot something." Vinyl clipped her golden earrings on, and smiled. But then it faded as she whispered in Rarity's ear, "Look, I know what Sweetie Belle said. She told me everything." Rarity gulped. "It's fine, Rarity. I can see why'd you would think that about me. I know I'm childish, but hopefully I can change." Vinyl smiled and nuzzled her sister, who slapped her away. Vinyl pulled back her head in surprise. "No! Vinyl, don't you dare ever say that you'll change! You may be childish, but I love you for who you are." Rarity smiled whole-heartedly. Vinyl blinked before grinning too. "Awkward sibling hug?" "Awkward sibling hug." They then embraced eachother until Vinyl pulled away. "That was...awkward."
