//------------------------------// // chapter 2: The Vinyl conclusion // Story: A pony to be messed with // by vinyl soul //------------------------------// Vinyl silently went home thinking about what she saw. "That was weird they just stared at each other for 8 minutes straight, there Is something going on that I don’t know about". When Vinyl got home she turned on the lights and was greeted by a sitting Octavia drinking what looked like tea. "Hey Octavia when did you get here?" said a confused Vinyl. "What ever do you mean Vinyl, I've been here for five minutes, where have you been?" said Octavia nonchalantly. "I was at THE CLUB and when i was done putting stuff away I went straight here" Vinyl answered. Octavia took one last sip of her tea before putting it down and walking to her bedroom to get some shut. "Oh, right i must have forgotten" Octavia said while walking to her bed and turning off the lights. Vinyl thought to herself, "That's weird how could she have forgotten when she WAS there...strange". Vinyl shrugged and turned on the TV, she turned down the volume to not disturb Octavia's sleep. Vinyl flipped through the channel's and stopped, her favorite TV channel was on, (The pony history channel) tonight's showing was a documentary on a pirate pony named *Black Mane the Filly Pirate*. Vinyl relaxed on the very comfortable couch that Octavia bought from *Mattress Colt*. As Vinyl began watching the documentary she thought to herself, "Maybe I should be a pirate". Vinyl chuckled at her own comment and decided not to, there would be no power to make music. When the documentary was over Vinyl was laying and asleep on Octavia's couch breathing softly and her glasses on the ground. Octavia wakes Vinyl up with a soft shake which makes Vinyl lose her balance and she falls the ground with a big "HMPH". Vinyl looks up to Octavia with her magenta eyes, "Ow my head what time Is It"? Vinyl asked. "Time to wake up, we need to get groceries and you get to help" Octavia said with a calm but stern voice and eye's looking in Vinyl's eyes. "Okay" Vinyl said with a groggy voice. As Vinyl and Octavia were walking to the market Vinyl asked "so, what do we need to get anyway", "We need to get four carrots, two head's of lettuce, and a baker's dozen of apple's", Octavia answered. Vinyl let out a low sigh, vinyl never did like shopping, too boring for her. Vinyl checked her saddlebag and got her favorite blue headphones, she puts them on her head and starts to listen to music she then moved the left side of her headphones back so that her ear's were showing. Just then Octavia stopped, Vinyl walked into Octavia and asked, "Why did you stop?" while rubbing her head to relieve the little pain she had from bumping into Octavia. "Vinyl theirs a sale on carrots, four carrots for two bit's" Octavia answered, "you stopped for that?" Vinyl said, but It didn't matter, before Vinyl could say anything Octavia was already walking towards the carrot stand, Vinyl then noticed Lyra walking to the same carrot stand. Vinyl couldn't believe what happened next, Lyra, one of the nicest ponies she knew tripped Octavia. Octavia got up and looked at Lyra straight in the eye, "The hay was that for!" Octavia said in rage. "What...oh my did I do that, must have been an accident" Lyra said in a smug voice while lifting her hoof up and turning her head slightly but still looking at Octavia. "I know you did that on purpose, and you know what, I never did like you Lyra" Octavia said. "Well I never liked you either" Lyra said with a mean look at Octavia. Both Lyra and Octavia were up in each other's face and that's about the time where everypony was staring at them. "Umm guy's can we both stop this, there is really no need for that kind of talking" Vinyl said trying to get her voice to reach the two mare's but there was no use. After the Incident between the two mares Octavia got the carrots and went to Vinyl and took off Vinyl's saddlebag and put it on herself, Octavia now had two saddlebags, she then galloped towards home, Lyra galloped home too. Vinyl sat down on her butt and looked at the sky, "Man, what am I going to do, I guess they were acting friendly around each other because they didn't want to see me upset" Vinyl said to herself in a low voice. Then Vinyl had an idea, "I know I'll get some help too find out how to make Lyra and Octavia friend’s again" vinyl said while hopping to her hooves. Vinyl galloped to Sweet Apple Acre's, Vinyl hoped that Applejack would have an idea on how to get Octavia and Lyra to stop fighting. When vinyl got to Sweet Apple Acre's, Vinyl was greeted a red coated stallion, "Well hey there Vinyl what bring's you here?" asked Big Macintosh. "I'm here to see Applejack, Big Mac, Vinyl answered.”Well you're just in luck, Applejack just got done with her chores, and she’s over there in the barn" Big Mac said. "Thanks’", Vinyl said while galloping to the barn. "Applejack I need your help", Vinyl said while panting, "Octavia.....Lyra....fighting", Vinyl began while panting, trying to catch her breath. Applejack looked at Vinyl, "Now hold on there sugar cube Applejack said in her southern accent, "now what's got you in such ah panic?" Applejack asked. "Octavia and Lyra...they're fighting and I need your advice...if you got any” Vinyl said finally catching her breath. "Hmm...Well why are they fight’ in" Applejack asked. "Well at first I thought It was because Lyra tripped Octavia but I heard Octavia said that she never liked Lyra, so It must be something more but I don't know”, Vinyl answered in a sigh. Applejack thought for a few moments’, and then it hit her. "How about this sugar cube, give both of them letter's saying that Lyra/Octavia will give an apology at so and so place, just make sure they are in a quite place and then lock them up in a room all by themselves and hopefully they will sort thing's out" Applejack said with a smile. Vinyl got to work making the fake letters to Lyra and Octavia, vinyl wrote to Lyra Dear, Lyra I want to apologize for what happened earlier, please come to Zecora’s house in the Everfree forest in one hour. Sincerely, Octavia Vinyl made another letter exactly like the first but with the names switched to Lyra to Octavia and Octavia to Lyra. When Vinyl got both the letter’s done, Vinyl headed off to there houses, “I hope this works” said Vinyl while slipping Lyra’s note In Octavia, Vinyl trotted over to Lyra’s house and Vinyl slipped Octavia’s note in Lyra’s house. Vinyl headed off to Zecora’s, Vinyl put a note on the door and waited behind a tree sitting down next to the tree, putting on her headphones. After what seemed to be forever the two mares finally got to Zecora’s hut. The two mares came on opposite direction, the first to come to the door was Octavia, and Octavia looked at the note attached to the door it read Welcome, come on inside Octavia looked confused but she put the note back on the door and walked in. Just then Lyra came up to the door, she was about to knock when suddenly she spots a note on the door, she read it Welcome, come on inside Lyra looked at the note and said “This seems rather odd; I wonder why Zecora put this note on the door?” Lyra went inside only to see a sitting Octavia. “You!” said Lyra with rage in her voice. “What are you doing here?” Said Octavia with a slight of confusion, “I’m here because I got this letter saying you were going to apologize to me” Lyra said, “I got the same letter but with your name on it” Octavia said. They both looked at the door to see a sad Vinyl. “What’s wrong Vinyl” Octavia said with sincerity in her voice. “Why…why are you two fighting” said a crying Vinyl. “I guess It’s time to tell her, wouldn’t you say Lyra?” said Octavia, “It can’t be helped” Lyra said. “Vinyl there’s something we need to tell you” Octavia said Vinyl looked up and saw the two mares smiling, “What?” Vinyl said wiping the tear’s from her face, “We’re not really made at each other, it was all a prank” Lyra said putting her arm around Vinyl for comfort. “So it was all a prank?” Vinyl said still looking down, “yes remember the day I came back and you were sleeping? Well I saw Octavia and said if she wanted to pull a prank on you” Said Lyra, “oh” Vinyl said standing to her hooves, “Vinyl please don’t be mad at us” Octavia said in a calm voice. Just then Vinyl started laughing, “Ahaha, wow that was a pretty good prank” Vinyl said while laughing, “so you’re not mad at us?” Octavia said, “of course not it was really good prank” Vinyl said as her laughter died down. “Well no use staying here any longer, let’s celebrate with a party” Said a mysterious pony. All three mares looked and they saw a pink pony with curly looking cotton candy mane, it was pinkie pie. They followed pinkie to Sweet Apple Acre’s and were surprised to see everypony in ponyville there. “What’s all this for?” Vinyl said looking at the decoration’s, “Well when you said your friends were fighting ah just thought maybe a party would cheer them up” Applejack said blushing. “aww thank you everypony but I found out they were just pranking me” Vinyl said who was also blushing, “Well that sure was a mean joke”, Applejack said”, “let’s all enjoy this party, It’s going to be the biggest most spectacular Pinkie party ever”, Pinkie pie said as she blew on her party blower right behind Vinyl, which scared her a bit and made her fall on a table. Vinyl rolled off her bed and the next thing she knew she was on the floor, “What the...Where am I?” Vinyl asked herself while rubbing her head, Vinyl then saw Octavia come in Vinyl’s room, “Are you alright Vinyl?”, “What happened?”, “What ever do you mean Vinyl?, all you did was thrash around in your bed and tearing up then you fell off the bed”, Octavia answered, “Oh I was asleep?” Vinyl asked, “Yes, you were”, Vinyl thought, “So it was all just a….dream?” there was a moment of silence before Vinyl said, “Hey Octavia when is Lyra coming back?” Vinyl asked, “She’s at her parent’s house for the year, but I got an email saying there was a um a parasprite infestation remember?” Octavia answered. Vinyl looked at Octavia then at the room, “says Octavia are you going to try to prank me?” Vinyl asked, “Why do you say that?” Octavia asked, Vinyl got to her hooves and said, “no reason, no reason at all”. The End.
