Opposites Attract

Lost friends make up for lost time. (Edited)

Chapter 2 -
“All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.”
― Henry Ellis

The room was dim, not dark mind you, as dusty as it was it was one of the only quiet rooms in the club. Thus it was a quick choice for ponies who wanted to “Discuss” or do things that generally would not be allowed anywhere but at home. So there, one pony sat, while the other paced around in a circle. One pony, sitting calmly, dark haired and a bowtie, the other, electric blue hair, and purple glasses, complete opposites. Yet old friends.
“Two years... two whole years Octavia, what the buck happened?” Vinyl began as the club was slowly emptied of its members.
“I'm sorry Vinyl bu-”
“Was it because of the... the party? If that... I can forget and we never have to talk about it.” Vinyl quickly interrupted refusing to stop there.
“That added to it all Vinyl... I never knew... and well it was... quite... unexpected.”
“You never knew huh? Well I am! Was it a problem? Was it because it is who I am?”
“No Vin-”
“Because if it is then-”
“Vinyl if that was why, I would be a HYPOCRITE!!” Octavia nearly shouted the last word, once she did it was as if a huge weight was removed from her chest.
“What? I... thats-” Suddenly alert and standing still, wide eyed and a straight face.
“I uhh... well that was unexpected Octy.... I uhh, wow I suck at this....”
“Oh, you're fine Vinyl, I would be as shocked as you if a old friend came to you and said something like that.”
“I would hope so, this is, wow...”

Silence enveloped to two, the two used-to-be friends, the two opposites. Silence was in fact a virtue, giving each of them time to think. Thinking about what they used to be, thinking about what sent them away, thinking about, them. After a minute or two they continue their conversation.

“So, how was Canterlot?”
“Do you really want to know?”
“No.”
“Well then, don’t ask.” Octavia said jokingly
“Whatever, I was fine, thanks for asking, no depression for me, nope just happy me all the live-long motherbucking day.” Vinyl said as she began a rant.
“Well, I’m sorry I didn't-”
“Not like I missed you, c’mon lots of friends. So many friends who have known each other for a thousand buckin’ years leave without so much of a how-do-you-do.
“Vinyl, damnit, I said I was sorry, you caught me off guard, can we, you know... start over?
“No, we can start where we left off, minus that one night.
“Ha... so serious... where is the Vinyl Scratch I know?”
“She lost you...”
“So, friends?”
“We will see.” Vinyl said, at probably the high point for intelligence, she continued. “It takes a long time to grow an old friend, and even longer to get one back.”
“Who was that?” Octavia asked, knowing Vinyl couldn't think all that up by herself.
“John Leonard, with a little more... me.”

With that, the two sat for what seemed like an hour, but was only a few minutes, dead silence, sad, yet still happy. Complete opposites, yet friends. Maybe something more?

Author's Note:

I'm sorry for the 500 word chapter, this is more of a setup, again sorry, next chapter will have 1,500+ (Probably) my editor wants to say something.

Editor’s Notes: Yay. Another chapter. Maybe he’ll continue to work on this, unlike certain other stories of his. He asked me to do a run over. I said I did. I lied (No, Sinny, I actually did). You can see that in the time that he has been gone, his writing has improved. I especially enjoyed that he let me add something to the playlist in chapter one and then take it away. He wouldn't even let me touch it before. Cutie Mark Crusaders Trust Building Exercise!

Sinny: I fucking hate that guy...

Sinny: I fucking hate that guy...

The feeling is mutual, bitch.

Finally, chapter two.

[The philosopher]

A new chapter?i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/6787634944/h6FB94995/ worth the wait!

[SinisterBronyz]

2288672 Took long enough :P

[The philosopher]

2290294 that it did.... But hey, at least it's here now, and that's what's matters.

Although I do hope the next chapter doesn't take so long to arrive next time.

[SinisterBronyz]

2290386 Well now i'm multitasking, again, but only one instead of 3... and one is a collaboration...

[SinisterBronyz]

Aww... it was bound to happen, the first dislike...

[learned1]

2317957 And you immediatly accused me. Me, of all people on this hellhole we call planet earth. ME! How dare you? I, your completely faithless and despicable editor, am immediatly blamed. And no, I did not dislike it.

[SinisterBronyz]

2320583 Well you have done it before.

[learned1]

2328583 Done what, exactly?

[SinisterBronyz]

2328635 Disliked my sh!t before.

[learned1]

2355811 That's not true; I've only ever disliked Luna's Diary, and you disliked that yourself.

[Fictional Critic]

Your story is a fun read, the concept and pacing seem to be working very well together. I look forward to reading more from this. I also find your relationship to your editor highly amusing and look forward to reading more of the banter in the comments section.

2410491 Thank you, getting comments like this make my day and considering how much time I sit trying to think of a way of writing this entire story diffidently its nice to see that people enjoy the story as it is. I hope you enjoy the next part, it is coming out... ehmmm... sometime. (Or at least that's what my editor (Help me my editor is keeping me hostage!!!) says.)
