Vinyl placed the last picture frame on the hook in her new bedroom wall. They were officially moved in. Their new apartment in Ponyville was the same size as there one in Canterlot and cost half the price. It had taken some persuasion but both Octavia and vinyls agent had agreed to the plan. Now at age twenty two Vinyl and Octavia were Ponville's newest residents.
“Vinyl, where is my records of Bethooven?”
“In the waste basket with the rest of the trash.” Vinyl snarked admiring her new abode and making sure it was spotless, a habit picked up from her days at the academy.
Octavia angrily stomped over to the waste basket and was relieved to see that Vinyl had taken out the actual trash, leaving her record in the clean white bag.
“Must you always tease me?” She huffed pulling it out and adding it the the collection in their living room.
“Aw but its so much fun.” Vinyl said smirking. Octavia simply glowered.
“Hey Tavs I was going to head down to the market place to do some grocery shopping before a go to check out my new studio. Care to join me?” Octavia thought it over for a moment before nodding and following her friend out the door.
As the two strode down the cobblestone street they admired the cozy little town. Both were satisfied with the choice they had made.
“Oh my gosh, new ponies!” A pink blur whooshed past them from behind and came to a stop in front of the two friends. “HI my name is Pinkie Pie the official town party planner well not official I don't have a card or something oh I should totally get a card then I can just hand ponies my card instead on introducing myself but then I wont get to introduce myself so maybe that's not a good idea but anyway that doesn't matter because I just came over here to introduce myself and ask you your names so.” The pink pony took a very long breath. “Hi I'm Pinkie Pie who are you?”
Octavia blinked.
“Hi Pinkie my names Vinyl Scratch and this is my roommate and best friend Octavia. And you can introduce yourself and have a card as well.”
Octavia turned to her roommate. “You understood that? How could you, she talked so fast.”
Vinyl shrugged.”I once made my coffee with redbull, I think I gained some kind of sixth sense, As well as killed about half my taste buds.”
Octavia just shook her head.
After a brief discussion about greeting parties and what kind of cake they wanted for it the two parties parted ways.
“Heh if ponies around here are all like that this is going to be a blast.” Octavia silently prayed to Celestia that they weren't
They were passing by a candy store when a green projectile shot from inside. “LYRA HEARTSTRINGS!!! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT ENTERING MY KITCHEN!”
The green projectile, in reality a mint unicorn, laughed out loud.
“Lyra?” Both Vinyl and Octavia questioned in unison. She turned
“HEY! It's you guys. Long time no see.”
A yellow sponge sailed through the air narrowly missing Lyra. “Aw come on Bonnie, if your going to be mad at me at least throw straight.” The next one hit her straight in the muzzle. “Better.”
The mint unicorn turned back to her old friends. “So what are you two doing here in ponyville?”
“Just moved down here, we took a page from your book and are trying long distance careers.” Vinyl said watching for any more soft projectiles.
“We were feeling too crowded.” Octavia added.
Lyra got a evil grin on her face. “So have you two finally gotten together?”
Both ponies looked at each other before turning back and answering in unison “Never going to happen.” They both said with finality.
“Lyra get back in here and help me clean up your mess.” The voice from inside of the candy shop called.
“Well it was nice seeing you guys again, maybe later we can get together and I can introduce you to my sponge hurling friend.” With a wave Lyra headed back into the shop.
Vinyl looked up at the clock tower that was visible from this side of town. “I'd better head to the recording studio, I don't want to piss them off this early on.” Parting ways with her roommate the white unicorn hummed a cheery tune to herself as she made her way to her new work place.
Entering the simple building she grinned at the ponies inside. “Hey you all ready to make some music!”
She settled in on a couch and was beginning to talk with the recording technician when a crash resounded through the room. A grey and blonde head stuck through the door.
“heh heh” A sheepish voice said. “Mails here?”
