Twilight was breathless at her doorstep. 'Did Vinyl just... Kiss me?' Was the only thing the lavender mare could think to herself as she made her way in to the hallowed out tree she called home. Twilight saw Spike talking to her, but for some strange reason she just couldn't hear him. It didn't seem all that important, so Twilight just decided to ignore the purple and green dragon and go to bed.
"My first kiss..." Was all the bookworm could mutter to herself. She should be furious with Vinyl for stealing her first kiss. But why wasn't she?
"My first kiss," Twilight mumbled as she drifted to sleep.
Twilight awoke hours later, she wasn't sure when, but the sun was in the middle of the sky about Ponyville. It was a nice day. Now, Twilight could actually think to herself, but all she could ponder over as she made her morning routines was why Vinyl would kiss her. Did Vinyl like her like that? Did Twilight even like mares like that? All the lavender mare knew was that she had to talk to someone.
"Who do you go to for a thing like this? Am I over reacting? Was it just a friendly kiss goodnight?" The mare asked herself as she paced back and forth in her room. "I can't tell Spike... But who can I tell? Rarity would over glamorize it, Fluttershy would make things too awkward to talk about, and I know Rainbow Dash can't keep a secret." That kept either Pinkie or Applejack in question. 'Well, AJ probably doesn't have much experience with stuff like this, and Pinkie is my best friend... I guess it's time to pay her a visit!'
Twilight, again, payed no mind to the dragon talking to her as he offered her breakfast. Instead, she grabbed her 'specs, and ran out the door. "Sorry, Spike, but I've got some business to attend to!"
The day in Ponyville was nice, much like it has been this Summer. There were birds chirping, the grass was green, and at the turn of every corner was a smiling pony to greet Twilight. Sure, a lot of weird things have happened, but if there's one thing Vinyl had taught her in their few days of friendship, it was that she needed to relax.
It didn't take long for Twilight to reach Sugarcube corner, where, as always, ponies were lining up for the lunch rush. 'Some lunch does sound good,' the lavender mare thought to herself. 'A personal talk can wait, right now, I'm starving.'
The line in front of Twilight moved rather quickly considering the amount ponies in it. After a while, it was Twilight's turn to order, "One chocolate chip muffin, please!" Said the mare, not even paying attention to who she was ordering to.
"Coming right up!" Twilight changed her attention to the pony in front of her. It wasn't the pink mare she was expecting, it was a tall, skinny, orange stallion with three pieces of cake for a cutie mark. It was Mr. Cake. "Oh, you're Pinkie's friend, right?"
"Uh, yeah," Twilight began, "Isn't she supposed to be working today?"
"Well, she normally is, but some energetic blue-maned pony came here and talked to Pinkie for a little, and she's been in her room ever since. Maybe you could go talk to her?" Mr. Cake was barely paying attention to the conversation as he put a fresh-baked muffin in a brown paper bag.
"Um.. Sure!" Twilight said as she pulled out a few bits from her saddlebag, but was stopped by Mr. Cake.
"Nope, for Pinkie's friend, on the house. Nice glasses, by the way!"
"Oh, thank you!" Twilight giggled at the compliment. Mr. Cake was a pretty nice guy, but it wasn't surprising seeing as he was around his wife all the time.
Twilight walked up to the stairs in the back room of the bakery, pulling out the muffin with a grin and taking a bite. She had already almost ate all of the delicious baked good when she reached Pinkies room. She tried to open up the door, but it was locked. "Pinkie?" Twilight knocked on the door, "Are you in there?"
"G-go away, Twilight! I can't talk right now!" Something was going on behind the door, but what?
'Is Pinkie... Crying?' Now, Twilight was worried. Did she get in a fight with Vinyl? "Pinkie, is there something you want to talk abo-"
"Just... Just GO AWAY!" the now obviously distraught pony yelled behind the door.
"O-okay, Pinkie, but if you want to talk, you know where to find me..." With that, the librarian walked away. 'What now?' Twilight wanted nothing more to go to Vinyl's and talk with her about Pinkie... but she was... nervous? 'Why am I scared to go see her?'
It was just then it hit Twilight. That kiss didn't just scare her, it confused her more than anything. 'Does Vinyl... Like me? Do I like her back?' Scared or not, Twilight already felt her hooves moving towards Vinyl Scratches house. She was going to get to the bottom of this, whether Vinyl wanted her to or not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was late afternoon when Vinyl woke up, and she already felt like an idiot. "What the hell did I do last night?" Vinyl asked herself as she slapped herself with her hoof. "Did I seriously kiss her and run off? Real smooth, Scratch, real smooth."
Even though she didn't want to, Vinyl knew she couldn't just hide in her bed all day. She would poor herself a cup of coffee, wake up, and go talk to Twilight. "This isn't the first time you've liked someone, Vinyl, and it's only a matter of time until you sweep her off her hooves for you... If she hasn't done that to you by then."
Vinyl let out a long, drawn out sigh as she took a sip of coffee.
The white-coated DJ was about to step outside when there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" Vinyl yelled so that it was audible to whoever was behind the door.
Another knock. "Who is it?" Vinyl said again, this time louder.
Once again, no reply, just a knock.
Vinyl sighed as she moved from her table to see who was knocking. Instead of repairing the door like she was supposed to, she used the hole to see who was at her door. It was sort of nice. Whenever she didn't need it she could just plug it up with a cork.
Twilight. Twilight Sparkle, the mare who just last night Vinyl kissed and ran off giggling like a schoolfilly was at her door, and Vinyl was never more afraid in her life. 'What do I do?'
'I gotta think fast... Do I answer it? Act like nothing happened? What if she wants to talk about it last night? Oh Celestia, Vinyl, why do you have to be so stupid?' The DJ caught herself nearly cowering at the thought of talking to Twilight. 'Do I even like her like that? Why did I kiss her?'
Another knock. Whatever Twilight wanted, it seemed urgent. Most ponies would have given up after the first try.
'What are you Vinyl, chicken? Can't handle a single mare? Answer. The. Door!' Was the only thing Vinyl kept telling herself, and it took her body a moment to listen.
The door creaked open to reveal a somewhat distraught Twilight Sparkle. "Vinyl," She started, "what happened between you an Pinkie?"
Was Twilight even mad at Vinyl? Did she even remember last night? It was then that Vinyl noticed that the lavender mare before her was wearing a pair of glasses... No... 'Specs... The very same pair Vinyl had got for her. "Y-You're not mad at me?"
"Vinyl, I don't know what I am at you," A blush became apparent on Twilight's face, "but that's for another time. Why was Pinkie crying in her room after you visited her? Did you two get in some sort of fight?"
Vinyl was surprised to say the least. Pinkie? Crying? "What? N-no! I sort of went over there, and..." Vinyl clicked her hooves together nervously, "Told her we kissed..." The floor was suddenly a lot more interesting to Vinyl. She couldn't even bare to see the look that was on Twilight's face. Why wasn't Twilight mad at her? Why would Pinkie be upset at her?
What came next surprised both Twilight and Vinyl. Twilight giggled. "Well, we sort of did. Or, you kissed me, at least. It wasn't just some sort of good night kiss, was it?"
"I... I don't know, Twilight!" Vinyl could feel herself blush and her ears droop, "I'm sorry.." The white unicorn mumbled to herself as she tapped the floor with her hooves.
The lavender mare before her walked up, but did she have a smile on her face? 'Why would this make her happy?'
Then, another kiss. This time, on the cheek of a blushing white pony. "I don't know what it was either, but I didn't hate it." Twilight said through a smile on her face.
"Twilight..." Vinyl felt herself tear up.
"None of that! I don't know what's going to happen to us, but I don't want to lose you over something as silly as this." Twilight had no idea what she was saying. She had never had a relationship, but how did she say this?
"Vinyl, you were my first kiss, now will you be my first," Twilight gulped, "Marefrie- mph!" Vinyl's lips met Twilight's mid sentence. 'I guess I got my answer.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was over. Pinkie was too late. She may have had one chance at getting Twilight, but no, instead, Pinkie screamed at the mare she loved. If only she said something to Vinyl. Maybe she could have changed what happened.
(A/N: I don't know how I'm going to put flashbacks, so lets just go with a bunch of these ---> `````)
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
The day was bright and early when Vinyl Scratch came to Sugarcube corner. Pinkie, herself, was just getting ready to start the day. "Hiya, Vinyl! What's wrong?" The pink party pony said, immediately noticing how worried the mare before her looked.
"Pinks, I sorta... Did something, and I'm not sure whether I'm proud of it or not. It involves Twilight, but I'm not sure what to do about it! If I do something, it might ruin our friendship, but if I don't, she might hate me forever anyway!" Vinyl was panicked, and Pinkie hated when her friends weren't smiling.
"T-Twilight? What happened?"
"It's nothing, Pinkie, but what do I do? I didn't know who else to come to for help!" Vinyl was almost tearing up. Was it that bad?
"Well, you gotta go talk to her! Twilight is one of my bestest friends, and there's nothing she couldn't forgive!" Pinkie put on a fake smile. In all honesty, anything that had to do with Twilight drove her to longing to see the bookworm more.
"I.. I guess you're right Pinkie. I need to go apologize to Twilight, but I'm gonna at least get some sleep first. I just got back from my job." Vinyl was already walking to the door. To this day, Pinkie didn't understand how anypony could be so active but get such a little amount of sleep.
"Okay, Vinyl. What did happen, though?" If it involved Twilight, Pinkie had to know.
Vinyl immediately turned red. "Oh.. I sorta... Um... I kissed Twilight! Gottagobye!" The white mare ran out the building, leaving a shocked, heartbroken Pinkie.
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
"How could I have been so stupid?" Pinkie cried to herself.
(A/N: Okay, guys, I know you're probably pissed at me for this short chapter. I'M SORRY. I had to write this thing on an Ipod touch, and I promise I'll get back to the standard 3-4k next chapter. I had some problems with my power so I sort of lost the first save, then just decided to re-write the chapter. Thanks a bunch for the birthday wishes, and I also wanted to talk really quick about my updates. I'm not going to set myself a deadline of every other day. I'll be moving soon and I have too much shit to do, but I will update at least once every week, with chapters a minimum of 3k words long. I'm already getting started on chapter 6, but for now, I'm going to go enjoy the last hour of my birthday.)
You guys rock, thanks for understanding,
Systemfail
