The pain of Forgetting
Chapter 3: The End
Previous ChapterVinyl and Octavia hit the town, and within minutes of asking strangers they found out where Chart Topper lived. It wasn’t too far away, but had them walking a fair amount to get there. One thing got them when they first got there was the fact he was living a actual house, and not a apartment like everypony else. The place was fairly clean looking from the outside with not a single sign of anything “dirty” in sight. Octavia stopped near the doorway as Vinyl continued walk to the fancy front door, and rang the doorbell. A charming little chime came from inside the house, and then after a few seconds. The door opened to reveal stallion with very nice combed hair just like her own, only with a couple of hairs sticking out a little and it being a light pumpkin orange. His coat was somewhat like mane and tail, in the fact it was a light dark purple with a vinyl record on each side of flank. Oh how ironic it was, but there was no time for that now, quick tell him something about why you are here.
“Hello I’m Vinyl Scratch,and this my friend Octavia Melody.” She said while trying to sound elegant, even with the lesson Octavia gave her it was harder then it seemed. Vinyl pointed to Octavia who now was a lot closer, and was there if Vinyl screwed it up.
“Can we come and talk to you?” She said still pretending, and doing a decent job at it. Well this was it one the biggest producer’s talking to her, Vinyl couldn’t be believe this happening. It was like a dream come true, and wait stay on target here. This is not the time for fangirling, she could do that later. Now Vinyl had to think of herself as a actor playing a role.
The stallion kept the same tone as before, and answer with a simple. “About what?’
Vinyl began to sweat a little, she couldn’t just straight into last night. After all it wouldn’t be a wise idea to say, that you were wondering what you said to him last night because you are too drunk to remember. Especially when trying to make good second impressions on a sort celebrity.
“Well I wondering if the three of us could just talk.” Vinyl said still using her fancy tone and still playing the part of the a actor.
Octavia sighed any fancy pony ( or in Vinyl's case pretend fancy) worth their salt would know a better way to start a consecration, or just a reason for coming over to an almost stranger’s house.
Chart Topper paused for a second to think, it not like he busy at time. So he responded with “Sure,” and held the door open while saying “ladies first”.
Vinyl and Octavia walked through the door while saying thanks, at this time they both had the same thought in their mind. I can’t believe that actually worked with both feeling a bit relaxed and some disbelief. Here they were entering a famous pony’s house, but no time to lose focus got to continue the act.
“So how are you doing?” Vinyl asked like she was talking to old a friend as Chart Topper, doing a good job staying in character with her tone. Yet part of her wanted to fangirl, luckily she could still contain it.
"I'm content, how about you?" He said still in that calm tone that was beginning to turn deadpan.
“Same here,” Vinyl respond reluctantly. Well she stuck herself in a corner, but this couldn’t end here. She had to think of something else to talk about or to do. Her eyes raced from thing to thing desperately trying to find to something, and then stopped when they reached a clock. Really it was that late already by now they should had eaten dinner. Wait hang on that gave her an idea, it really stupid but it worth a shoot.
“Hey can um, stay for dinner?” Vinyl said hoping it would work, it had to work. It must work.
“Really? You expect me to make and share dinner for you and your friend, which I barely know that randomly rang my doorbell.” Chart Topper said in annoyed tone.
“Yeah but you were the one who let us in the first place!” Vinyl howled at him completely breaking really out of her character.
Octavia face hoofed, why didn’t she stop her from doing this and just went along with it. Octavia guessed she had to stop Vinyl, before things got out of hoof. Unluckily for her, when she tried to calm Vinyl down it didn’t work because she wasn’t paying attention to Octavia, and was more focused on Chart Topper.
“True but at least I am not yelling for no good reason,” Chart Topper said with a smug look on his face.
Vinyl was about respond back, when she suddenly found herself being dragged by her tail by Octavia. There was no way Octavia was going to let Vinyl keep digging herself into a hole, and so continued until they were out in the front lawn.
“What was that for?!” Vinyl called to Octavia in confusion and anger.
“That was for making sure you wouldn’t give your own grave.” Octavia responded in a calm tone to her, and wait for a answer. It toke about a few seconds for Vinyl to realize what had did, and how it only made it worse.
“Oh yeah guess I got a little carried away, Sorry.” Vinyl said sheepishly to her, and wanting to pond her head in for doing something so stupid.
“It’s fine but now we can’t your save reputation,” Octavia replied back Vinyl. All of this work for nothing at all, expect for ruining a relationship with a celebrity.
“Well who was I kidding anyways? There is no chance of I was going to make it any better, but hey since we are out want to get some dinner? There is a diner near here that I have heard some good things about.” Vinyl said trying to making up for today.
“Depends on how many bits you have,” Octavia said jokingly. So the mares walked to diner to get some food, and never spoke of this again.
