I walk through the snow white city, old memories flow back in my head good and bad times I had with my friends and family. That's not the thing I need to pond over right now, If I'm going to visit I need a place to lay my head. My thumb rests under my chin and my index finger under my bottom lip. I start thinking about a friend that will at least give a chance or agree to stay over. I smile without noticing ,thinking about my childhood friend vinyl or these days "DJ Pon3". I remember where she lived as a colt but I bet that she doesn't live where she use to as a filly. A grown mare has to want her place right? With the money she's earning as a DJ or in my words a music producer she has to have a massive house. Anyways I'll focus on this later, but know I need to visit a gravestone.
I sit on a nearby bench, putting my black bag on my lap. Zipping it open and I rummage through the bag to find the notice for my mother's funeral that was sent to me through my depression. I sigh deeply as I got up and walk to the address. It's been awhile I stare at the name of the graveyard where loved ones never come back. The graveyard was called The Garden and again I take a deep breath, taking a step inside the graveyard. My goal finding my mother's gravestone, but some gravestones I read, getting on one knee, moving some grass and dirt to see the name of who died then read the date they fallen.
"Come on, this is-" I stop to see my mother's gravestone.
So many emotions flowing in, I'm feeling the same when I first received the news. A couple of tears flow down my cheek as I try to keep my breath in check, putting my hands in my pocket, my black and yellow hair hiding my face.
"So...It's been awhile mother...How have you been" -Started crying more- "Fine I guess...I'm sorry for...for..." I couldn't talk anymore, my tears started to cover my vision, pressing my top and bottom teeth the hardest I can.
"I'M SORRY FOR LEAVING YOU!" I yelled out.
After, all of the tears I place a white rose on her grave, I know she loved them. I walk away with my eyes red and still sniffing from the sadness. I was walking without noticing I bumped into a white fuzzed, electric-blue maned unicorn. We were face to face, she looked at my saddened face. The electric-blue, white mare slowly smiled and wrapped her arms around me. Putting her head on bottom of my chin, I would call it nuzzling but I wouldn't assume anything at this moment. My grief disappeared, my heart beating rapidly and a shade of bright red set in.
"Your back..." said the electric-blue haired mare, pulling away from the hug.
I looked at the white fuzzed mare, I felt like I knew her so assume for the best. "Vinyl?"
Her smile turns into a cheerful grin then she nodded. "Yup" Vinyl looks up at me, I noticed her happy mood changed into a serious one.
"So,why did you come-" -Vinyl stopped talking for a moment- "Oh... that"
"Yeah, I came back to visit her", I say rubbing the back of my neck. "I don't know where to stay maybe at a hotel or something"
Vinyl puts her hands back behind her back, rocking back and forth. A smile appears on her face.
"You can stay over at my place. If you want" Vinyl said with a bigger smile.
I looked at her with a little bit of blush of some reason, just the thought of a guy staying at a girl's humble abode? I need to stop thinking like that; She's my friend. Vinyl punched my shoulder and started smirking.Vinyl began getting face to face to me, but for me it was a little to close. My shade of pink grew more.
"Don't think wrong now Arte" Vinyl cooed.
"W-what! I wasn't vinyl. I swear" I said nervously. Vinyl pulled away and started laughing, I laughed with her. This is the first time in awhile I laughed or felt some kind of joy. My eyes set on her, stopped laughing and I sighed. "So why are you here Vinyl?".
She looked up at me. "Because I was here to visit you mother Arte. She was an amazing mare, I hope you know that"
"I know she was..." I said silently, holding my black bag tightly.
"Your dad was abusive. She wanted you to be safe Arte, I hope you know that's the reason why she sent you to Manehatten to live with your aunt and uncle" Vinyl said staring down that the ground.
"I know Vinyl" I said pulling my shirt to cover the bottom of my nose and my mouth.
Vinyl looked back up at me and her blank mouth turned into a smile once again. "Forget the past Arte. We can't change it" She's right, I can't change the past, all I can do is focus on the future. "So how long are you staying here?"
"Three days" I responded.
"Oh cool!" Vinyl said excitedly.
I saw her red eyes moving up and down looking at me. Vinyl's left arm hugged her abdomen, her other arm's elbow rested on top of her left arm. Vinyl's index finger tapped her bottom lip. I was wondering at first What in the hell is she doing?
"You change, so much Arte" Vinyl said with a smirk.
I just remembered how Vinyl's humor was a little bit sexual or inappropriate. I don't know how I survived Vinyl's jokes. "Yeah I did. Yup the old stranger changed a lot while living in Manehatten" I chuckled.
She looked up at me seriously. "Your not a stranger, your my friend"
