Octavia was sitting at her desk trying to create another musical master piece, for she has had a musical block for a couple of days. She writes in one last note and her eyes light up. “Finally I’m done, now I can show Vinyl!” She jumps up at the thought of her able to go over to Vinyl’s house again. She loved visiting over at her house ever since they became a couple.
Octavia gathers up all her sheet music and quickly heads over to Vinyl’s house. She knocks on Vinyl’s door but there was no answer. “That’s strange she always answers her door for me.” She knocks on the door again this time the door opens. She walks inside and looks around. “Vinyl!” She yells not seeing her in the house. Octavia walks into Vinyl’s room seeing something unusual, her room is clean, her bed is made, and there’s nothing out of place.
“That’s odd her room is never like this.” She ponders for a bit. “I know she probably has something special planned for me, that’s it she has done this once before.” She trots out of Vinyl’s room and house closing the door. “I wonder what I should do for now?” She looks around as Rarity trots up to her.
“Hi Darling, how are you today?” Asked Rarity. “I’m fine, oh Rarity have you seen Vinyl today?”
“No not really why darling.” Rarity looks at Octavia curiously. “Well see I haven’t seen her all day and she wasn’t home, and plus her door was unlocked. It’s so unusual for her to do that.” Octavia looks a little worried. “Well darling,” Rarity puts a hoof in her shoulder. “I’m sure she’s fine and that she’s thinking of you right now.” Rarity smiled comforting Octavia.
“Thank you Rarity.” Octavia smiled back. “Could you tell me if you see her though?” Rarity gave her a hug as she was about to go.
“Sure darling I’ll give you a call ok, bye now.” Rarity says as she trots off heading to her Fashion Boutique.
Octavia sighs as she heads back home. When she enters her house she grabs her cello and her music stand as she starts practicing her new song. She gets half way through when she hears the door open and somepony walk in. “Who’s there?” She yells. All she hears are hoof steps getting closer. “T-tell me who you are b-before I call the cops” She says louder getting more scared.
Octavia’s mom trots in tears in her eyes. “Mom” She jumps up hugging her. “What’s wrong mom?” Tavi’s mom sniffles as she tries speaking. “Y-you didn’t hear d-did you.”
“What do you mean mom” she looks worries as she looks at her mom. “Mom tell me what happened, did something happen to dad!”
“No baby” she sniffles wiping her eyes. “Sit down baby, you’ll thank me after I tell you” she sits down on the couch with her daughter and looks her in the eyes. She sighs and speaks to her. “V-vinyl was in a...” Octavia’s heart sinks.
“W-what happened to Vinyl mom” she looks her in the eyes very worried. “S-she was in a horrible accident, she’s at the hospital right now and the doctors don’t think she’ll make it”
Octavia has tears in her eyes now. “W-what” she says through her tears hugging her mom tightly not believing her. “Y-you’re lying…… YOU’RE LYING” she yells out getting up and running out the door.
“Octy” her mom yells out after her. Octavia runs strait to the hospital and rushes right in. “W-where is she, Where’s Vinyl” the receptionist looks at her.
“We have been given strict orders not to let anyone in unless they’re Family.” The receptionist tells her. “I’m her Mare-friend!” she exclaimed. “I need to see her NOW!!” she has tears rolling down her face.
The doctor trots out to see what is going on and overhears her. He sees that it’s Octavia and trots over to her. “Mam please come this way” he says then glares over at the receptionist as he trots to room 378. Octavia follows and then quickly rushes in. “V-Vinyl” she says as she approaches her.
“O-octy” she coughs as her heart monitor is beeping slowly. “C-can you give me m-my saddle” she coughs again. “Bag.” she looks at the bag sitting in the corner. Octavia nods and receives it for her. Vinyl digs through it and pulls out a box that’s all wrapped up and gives it to her. “H-here”
Octavia opens the box and pulls out a necklace that has a heart-shaped locket on it. She opens it up and starts crying seeing a picture of the two on their wedding day, she wipes her eyes then hears a long beep and looks up seeing a tear roll down Vinyl’s face. Octavia looks at her crying again. “N-no i-it can’t b-be” she says through her tears. “She c-can’t be d-dead”
She kisses Vinyl’s lips softly and feels how cold they are, and then she starts crying into Vinyl’s chest. “W-why did it h-have to be her, W-why not me” she sobs over her dead lover. The doctor trots in and pats her back. “I know it’s hard, I suffered a loss like this before. What I want you to do is head home and get some rest, it’s the best you can do for now”
Octavia sighs and gets up after kissing Vinyl one last time and heads home. A few weeks pass as Octavia becomes a wreck, not being able to write anymore music, her house becoming a clutter, and her cello hasn’t been touched since the day Vinyl died. She stares long and hard at her cello then finally gets up.
She grabs her cello and her last creation she made before her beloved’s death and rushes off to her grave. She stands over the grave with her cello ready as she tunes it. She sets up her music and starts to play over Vinyl’s grave as she cries. Near the end she looks up and sings out.
“W-who knew it, would be the l-last time I was with you. Every day you’re still in my mind, and as I play I will not forget all the times we had together.” She says the last part normal. “I won’t forget you Vinyl” Tears roll down her face as she plays the final note.
