One Day Like This

Well, here we are. It’s Nightmare Night. Well, right now it’s day, but it’s tonight! I enjoy this night because it gives me an excuse to go out normally and talk to other ponies, except more often than not, I shadily avoid conversation. It just feels nice to go outside every once in a while. I’m sure you know. Anyways, I woke up with her bright coat next to me again. It was comforting to have another pony by my side at a constant rate for once. As I recalled last night based off of what was in the room and the state of me and Vinyl, we had sex, I think. That or we had some really big, messy party that stained my bed. I’m pretty sure it’s not the latter. I glanced at her, taking in her beauty. It always stood out to me. You know, I went to a club where she was DJ-ing once. Now, let me recall the events.

The blaring noise. The drunk ponies. The bright lights. This is a club alright. Well, why am I here again? I don’t even remember. I just decided to, I guess. That detail left my mind as soon as I saw who was Dj-ing, it was Vinyl. I don’t know how I got in without seeing at all that Vinyl was here, but I didn’t. As my hooves plodded on the hard floor, mares I didn’t know were shaking their flanks everywhere. Sluts. I don’t see how you’re willing to give up your body so easily, knowing good and well that it’ll be to a stallion that you won’t love tomorrow or ever. Who cared about them though, they can make their own mistakes. I just needed to see Vinyl. I couldn’t hear myself think when I got that close to the speaker. My brain wanted for me to say hi to her, but my mouth told me to shut up. I just couldn’t. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t muster up the strength. She didn’t notice me, since she was in the zone, the music was loud, and she had her headphones on. Oh well. I crowd surfed my way to the back and left, of course I took one last look at Vinyl though. I couldn’t resist looking at her. She was gorgeous. If only she could be mine. A tear rolled down my face. I rushed out the door so I couldn’t be seen. I spread my wings and flew home.

I started crying again at the thought that I wanted her to be mine before we even knew each other. Now she’s mine. I know it might sound a little selfish, but I just always thought she was the perfect mare. My head turned as I though this, my eyes landing on Vinyl. I looked at the time, 8:00, she won’t be up. I lied next to her, hugging her, and dozed back off into a blissful sleep.

I could just hear the creepy organ music now, because it was dark outside. Vinyl was gone. Bummer. I’ll probably see her though. I made myself look “scary” and trotted outside. The streets were filled with kids in costumes, waiting to get candy. They looked cute in their fake costumes being zombies, mummies, and above all, vampires. I wanted to scare them with my “really real looking costume,” but I didn’t. I needed to find Vinyl. I wandered aimlessly for a while until I found a pony that seemed familiar. It was Vinyl, the only pony I really knew. In a way, I was relieved it wasn’t someone of the past. My mind was rushing a mile a minute when I saw she was with other ponies. It didn’t help that she turned, saw me, and invited me over. I curled a bit like Fluttershy, and covered my eyes with my wings.  She grabbed my hoof and dragged me over to the crowd. I couldn’t help but struggle a little. She kissed me which set off me and the crowd. As soon as my wings retracted, she introduced me to her friends.

”This is Scribbler. He’s the one I’ve been hanging out with recently! Do you got anything to say, babe?” She poked me.

”I HAD SEX WITH HER!” Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck. FUCK! WHY IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA DID I YELL THAT OUT LOUD!?

”Vinyl! Is this true!?” This was Octavia. She seemed like a mother to Vinyl. Of course, Vinyl was speechless. She looked at me, and immediately looked away. She slightly nodded her head in Octavia’s direction. Octavia looked at me, and took me away from the crowd. We talked so no one can hear us.

”You seem like a nice guy, so I’ll ask you, who was it that mentioned it, you or Vinyl?

”Vinyl, ma’am. I’m really sorry, I have a hard time controlling my awkwardness and what I say, or even how I think others will react. It just sort of came out. I didn’t mean any harm, I really do love her.” Celestia I hoped a truthful heartfelt explanation would get me out of this one.

”I’ll let you go this time, only because she was the one who mentioned it. I won’t mention your name when I confront her. Go back to the crowd, they obviously want to hear more things about you.” She spoke with a thick Canterlot accent. I wonder if she was from there. Why would she be in Ponyville then? Whatever. I didn’t want to walk, so I flew to Vinyl’s side and stayed aloft in the air. I pecked her a kiss, which was met with what seemed like a smack across the face. She didn’t react. She just stared into the distance, like her friends at me. They were staring at my eyes. I explained to them that it was a costume. I lied, obviously, but it was feasible considering the holiday among us, Nightmare Night. Speaking of, I never got a chance to notice Vinyl’s costume. She was a vampire. She had the fake fangs in her mouth. How thoughtful of her to be like this. I looked at her, about to question her odd behavior. I poked her with my hoof, to get her to look at me. She did, but with that blank expression. I kissed her again, nothing. What was wrong with her? Her friend who was yellow with an orange mane came to her side, seeing if anything would happen. Nothing. After a while of us trying to do something to change this state of emptiness, she screamed. Her screams pierced the world around us all, but these weren’t screams of horror, or sadness, these were screams of rage. She was infuriated. Nopony could contain her. She was out of control. She screamed in my face.

”YOU JUST HAD TO FUCKING TELL THEM, DIDN’T YOU!!! YOU COULD’VE JUST SHUT UP, BUT YOU FELT THE NEED TO SAY SOMETHING. WELL, DO I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU. FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!! WHY DON’T I JUST START YELLING SHIT?! HERE, LET ME GO! HEY, EVERYPONY, SCRIBBLER IS A VAM-.” I cut her off, silencing her with a bite to the neck. It was the only way, knock her out so she couldn’t fight. All of her friends looked at me, with this feeling of sorrow, I handed the body to Octavia and flew home. Tears started pouring out of my face. A whine filled the sky. My house was near, so I needed to drop altitude. As I got closer to the ground, I slammed open the door so hard it closed itself as I ran upstairs to lie down. I hugged the only stuffed animal I had, a bat.                                                          

”Vinyl, is something wrong? You look, a little different.” I wonder if she’d open her mouth while I looked at her.

”Oh, nothing, I just came to apologize… that’s all…” Her face was red. She was hiding something. I couldn’t tell by her mouth if something was wrong because she barely opened it. My heart nearly started beating again once I saw a little red flicker in her eye. It’s official. I’m a member of the “Just Killed My True Love on Accident but They Still Love Me” club. I tried to mention it to her as calmly as possible.

”Vinyl, are you sure, your eyes are kinda off. They seem, red.” I got her. Her face was red, and she was speechless.

”Fine, I guess I have to tell you.” She took the bandages off around her neck to reveal my bite marks, except if they weren’t fatal, they would’ve been gone by now. “I knew it would end like this when I met you, but that’s what I wanted. I wanted to live forever with you. Now that our wish has been granted, I say it calls for a celebration. Ponyville knows vamponies exist, they just have never seen one so polite and normal. We can just go out and be ourselves. Our perfectly happy, vampony selves.” Tears rolled down my eyes again. What is it with today and me crying? I kissed her, and she kissed back. We made out for a while until she noticed that it was 10:00. Time for our party. We walked outside, being ourselves. We got positive looks from everypony. This night instantly got better. As we made our way to the town square, we kissed and accepted each other’s embrace. When we arrived, the Element of Laughter, Pinkie Pie, was waiting for us with none other than Celestia and Luna. They gave a speech.

Celestia opened the speech, “May this day be known to everypony as the day of acceptance, for we have grown a tolerance of those known as the Vampony species. Now, we shall celebrate in this harmonious occasion with great fun! And please, show our newfound friends respect!” Luna had some closing words on the topic. “I’ve been working with the Vamponies for years upon years now, slowly understanding them. Now that we have everypony in Equestria agreeing that they deserve respect, it is what they shall get. Thank you, Scribbler, for setting the bar for all of your children to come.” My face went red as soon as she mentioned children, and so did Vinyl, but she had a smile. We shared glances at each other, then back at Celestia. She spoke, “Let’s start this party with a bite, Scribbler, you have the honors.” I looked at Vinyl, and she looked back. She stuck her neck out, and I bit down, marking the new age of vamponies to be a race as common as Pegasi and Unicorns. We would never die though, simply because we were both bitten. Now that we know that we will watch over our ancestors happily together, we partied. We partied until we could party no more. I would describe it to you, but most of it is a blur to me. I came and went like anything else. As we trotted our tired bodies home, we lied down. I’m pretty sure Vinyl told Octavia that she’d be moving in. I had to remind her though, that she needs to be more of a morning person now because she had no coffee or energy drinks. She mumbled and dozed off. I had my bat in my hooves and held it close as I fell asleep by Vinyl, the pony whom I thought I would never get, now lying beside me, dozing off every day forever. Goodnight, Equestria, let’s see what the future has in store for us.
