> One House, 5 Ponies > by Di-o-S > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Good Morning...? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was a house on the streets of Ponyville, it was bigger than most as it held 5 ponies rather than three or four. On a warm morning like this what could be wrong with this quaint humble house? “Vinyl, turn down that accursed music!” Octavia said just barely shouting over Vinyl’s loud music. After the sound of Octavia’s voice, the music turned down but not off. “Why? So you can turn on that excuse for music?” Vinyl shot from her doorway. “Excuse for music? I’m afraid you're confusing your music with mine,” Octavia shot back from her doorway. “Would you both shut up? I’m dealing with a hangover over here,” Berry Punch shouted from the bathroom followed by the sounds of vomiting. “That’s every day, Berry!” Vinyl shouted back. “I’m going to have to agree with, Vinyl on this. You should stop drinking that vile drink and maybe this wouldn’t happen,” Octavia said gathering her things together for a show. “Screw you guys!” Berry shouted at, Vinyl and Octavia before being too occupied with dealing with her hangover. “Could all of you just keep quiet for just one Celestia damned morning!” Cheerilee shouted frustrated by the amount of arguing that ensued every morning. “Wherever, Cheerilee why don’t you go teach sompony there A,B,C’s?” Vinyl said while grabbing all her equipment that she needed for the day. Cheerilee was about to retort when Berry came stumbling down the stairs. “Hey leave, Cheerilee alone she’s the only one who takes me back here if i can’t,” Berry said snout first into the floor at the bottom the stairs, not making an effort to get up. “What do you mean ‘when’ you can’t get back here. You can never get back her by yourself because you're so drunk,” Vinyl said putting on her signature shades. “Why must you wake the great and powerful, Trixie from her slumber with your squabbling?” Trixie pronounced as she entered the room. “Oh, shut it, Trixie, with your high and might crap for one day,” Octavia saying basically what everypony one in the room was thinking. “Trixie is offended by this rude manner of behavior and demands-” but Trixie was cut off by Vinyl. “Demand what? Nopony in this house ever listens to you, Trixie, in fact, it's laughable how much ‘respect’ you actually have,” Vinyl said with a laugh while walking out the door equipment in tow. Trixie lowered her head sadly. “That was a little rude even for, Vinyl,” Cheerilee said watching as Trixie dejectedly left the room while gathering the things she needed to teach the fillies and colts of Ponyville. Then out the door, she went. While Berry lay on the ground at the bottom of the stairs snoring lightly. Octavia grabbed the rest of the stuff she needed and walked out the door leaving the house to Berry's light snores. The hours passed uneventfully, the warm sun bathing the house in warmth and light revealing the sheer amount of countless dust swirling in the air aimlessly. The sounds of ponies outside as they chatted about things the house had yet to understand. The floorboards creaked from a weight unknown put on then. The house groaning from a burden placed by its creators the day from whence it was built. That was until the occupiers of the house had returned. “Man is it good to be home!” Vinyl said a smile on her face as she walked up to her room putting all her equipment away in its proper place. “I can agree with you on that any day,” Cheerilee said placing her papers on the table of homework to be graded and returned to the fillies and colts the following morning. “Hey, Cheer do you think i should apologize to, Trixie?” Vinyl asked walking in the room where Cheerilee started grading papers. “Yes I do, Trixie may be a pain in the tail sometimes but what you said was rude,” Cheerilee responded while keeping her focus on what she was doing. “Yea I agree with, Cheerilee, Vinyl you should apologize,” Octavia said who unbeknownst to them had entered the room. “Yes, I agree with whatever you guys are agreeing about,” Berry Punch added from her place on the floor. “Alright I’ll go geez,” Vinyl responded starting to walk to Trixie's room. Taking a breath, Vinyl knocked on the door. “What is it that you demand of the great, Trixie?” Trixie said from the interior from of the room. Vinyl had to keep from grinding her teeth at the way Trixie pronounced herself. “It’s me, Vinyl,” Vinyl said while waiting outside the door. There were sounds of hoofs hitting the ground at snail's pace headed toward the door. The door finally opened after what seemed like forever. “What do you want of me?” Trixie asked her voice strangely quiet and meek compared with her high and mighty way of speaking. “I...I want to apologize for what i said this morning,” Vinyl said slightly hesitating at first. Trixie seemed to brighten up at this. “Really? You want to apologize to the great, Trixie?” Trixie said her normal tone of voice returning. “Well, I wouldn't say it like that but yeah. I’m sorry for what I said, we cool?” Vinyl asked still keeping from gritting her teeth at the high and mighty stuff. “Yes the great, Trixie forgives you,” Trixie said with an awkward hug. “Well that's nice and all, Vinyl, Trixie but I’m kinda hungry. So could you get me something to eat?” Berry Punch said with a chuckle which was met with a chuckle from Vinyl. “Berry I swear you chose the worst moment to say things sometimes,” Vinyl said with another chuckle while walking back into the room where everyone was at the time. “Well what do you expect, the only things on my mind are my next drink and food,” Berry Punch said “Speaking of food I don’t feel like cooking so I took the liberty and time to order a pizza,” “Why did you ask me for something to eat?” Vinyl asked utterly confused. “Cause I needed to ruin at least one moment today and now I have,” Berry said while rooting through the drawers for whatever reason. “And that's, Berry for you,” Octavia said with a laugh closely followed by the laughter of everypony present and the sound of the doorbell. “I’ll get it,” Cheerilee said putting some papers down to answer the door. After that the five friends or not friends had a lot of fun playing games, helping each other with their work if they needed it, eating, of course, cleaning up after the mess they made and eventually they went to sleep. Morning came quickly, birds chirping sun shining down and the quiet of house full of five ponies. “Vinyl! how many times do, I have to tell you to turn off that music?” Octavia shouted followed by Vinyls response. ---End---
