> Break Time > by Silly Strings > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It had been a very long and tiresome night. Octavia was selected to play at a royal wedding in Canterlot, the hours were very long but she was not about to pass up the offer to play at a wedding. Her hooves ached and she could feel the pulse from her heart straight from the worn out limbs. The one thing on Octavia's mind while walking back to her home in Ponyville was the ability to see her beloved, a miss Vinyl Scratch. She was tired thirsty and had blisters on her hooves the size of golfballs. --Meanwhile-- Vinyl Scratch desperatly awaited for her lover to return home. She knew that Octavia was going to be out late and she had decided to take it upon herself to tidy up the household they had recently moved into. The house was still littered with many boxes from the move and they were in the process of emptying them out and adding their "personal touch" to the house. She started with a couple of the boxes from her old apartment and arranged a couple of her items as she saw fit. after awhile and a few boxes, her curiosity krept through her head. She decided to empty a couple of the boxes from Octavia's apartment. Octavia had labeled each of the boxes accordingly and had made sure that the items in the boxes were aligned and neat. She started with the box labeled "Personal Items" due to the sheer curiosity tearing away at the poor mares head. She looked to her left....then to her right...expecting Octavia to be right beside her. "I'm sure she wouldn't mind. I mean I'm trying to clean up around here, how could she get mad at me for that?" She said softly to herself. She began to undo the tape that had kept the likes of the outside world away from Octavia's precious items. A bead of sweat dripped from her forehead and made a miniscule spot on the boxes absorbent cardboard. Her tongue was sticking out as she finished taking the tape off. She set the adhesive strip aside and stared at the closed box. She took a deep breath and opened the box quickly and forcefully. She stared into the box expecting to see something along the lines of a severed head or a drug lab but was sadly dissapointed. "Awww what the buck is this? I wanted something a little more juicy." She said with dissapointment stinging her tongue. Contained in the box were letters from family and friends that Vinyl respectfully put aside without reading them. There were items for a filly that most likely belonged to a much younger Octavia. Besides that there was one item that caught the eye of the white unicorn. "Huh....whats this? Huh, Maybe this little pony isn't as inocent as she leads on." She said with a deviously firey smile. --Back to Octavia-- Octavia was closing in on her house and would've been extatic if the night hadn't drained her of all her energy. "Ahhh im so glad to finally be home." She said with a sigh of relief. She pulled out a set of keys that she had tucked away under her unique bowtie (Because bowties are cool). she started to search for the right key out of about 10 keys when she heard sounds of strain coming from inside the house. "Come on.....yeah thats more like it!" Cried a familiar voice "What in Celestia's name is going on in there?! Is Vinyl cheating on me?!" She said with a sudden burst of molten energy that she had surprisingly summoned out of no where. She decided to listen in more to confirm her alarming suspicions. "Al....most.......THERE! Phew thats more like it!" Said the voice of a soon to be deceased unicorn. "SHE IS SO DEAD!!!" Said the now furious pony. She decided to give up the search for the correct key and decided to continue with simply bucking the door open with her back hooves. With a quick turn her hooves collided with the door breaking the lock and swinging the door open at a speed that made the unicorn jump. "HOW DARE YOU CHEA-..........." She attempted to scream but was completely befallen of any sort of words. "WOAH WHAT THE BUCK?! Why did you kick the door in? we barely moved in here and now we've already gotta fix that!" Vinyl said with a hint of concern more for the door than the now red faced Octavia. A face that was red not out of anger but from a certain heat that emitted from......attraction...... "I......Uh........where did you get those?" She asked while pointing towards the lower half of Vinyl "Oh you mean these?" She said with a seductivly sinister voice as she raised her hooves to Octavias face. What stood before her was a soft peice of cotton fabric that went by the name......"Socks". Octavia was almost speechless and the shade of red that had been placed upon her face was almost an entirely new shade. "Yeah while you we're gone I decided to do some cleaning as a surprise and as I was going through the boxes I noticed these babies and new EXACTLY what they we're doing in the box subtly labeled 'Personaly Items'." Vinyl said as she circled around Octavia like a ravenous vulture. "You.....really.....shouldnt go through......other ponies.....THINGS!" Octavia managed to say while attempting to restrain her from completely attcking the mare. "I knew right when I found them what it meant." She said while sounding even more seductive than ever before. "Please Vinyl dont...." Octavia pleaded. ".......you've got a sock fetish don't you?" She said as she stepped in bringing her face to her partners face at a distant that easily invaded anypony's personal space. Octavia simply stood quiet and stiff as a board. "Well i've got a little something to tell you that you might not have known about me......" She said while turning away from Octavia. Octavia was unsure how much longer she could hold herself back. She wanted more than anything to completly ravage this evil devious mare but she knew that all she wanted was to get some sleep from a long night. Vinyl turned her head to look back at Octavia wearing the best set of bedroom eyes she could conjure up. "I too have a sock fetish......and I did notice that there is another pair that matches that cool bowtie of yours perfectly.......in fact we won't even need the bowtie." Vinyl said as her finishing blow and it was a critical hit for at that moment a flash of grey and black had tackled her wearing the pair of socks that Vinyl had mentioned. Octavia managed to put them on in the short time that Vinyl had turned away. The prim and proper pony was now towering over the white unicorn. "I figured you would've been too tired after such a long night." Vinyl said with a half smirk on her face. Octavia simply closed in and whispered into Vinyl's ear. "Well I guess this night is going to last a litle longer...." Vinyl then laid back and accepted her impending fate. ---------------------------------- With a slow creak the eyes of a grey mare began to open. She sat up before her eyes were completely open. "Well then that was a rather.....interesting dream." She said as she raised a hoof to clutch her head to save a headache. What met with her head was not the feeling of fur from her hoof but that of soft cotton. her eyes shot open as she stared at her hooves only to see one thing.......socks...... *Cue Inception BRRRRRRRRRR* [Hey guys this was my first story and I wrote it as a sort of test, so tell me what you think :D] [P.S.
