A week ago

My eyes shot open. Was that all a dream? Looking down I see I'm on my bed. Our bed. Did she carry me here? I really hope so.I look to my left. Vinyl is there, my hooves wrapped around her. I guess I must of squeezed her for she was waking up now. She turned and looked me in the eyes. It was obvious she was still tired."I know you had a rough night last night- but just calm down, alright?" She dug her head back into her pillow.I sighed in relief. It must have just been a dream, after all.I went to the kitchen and and opened the fridge. I pulled out some orange juice after finding the the pan that once held oven pancakes was in the dishwasher.She must have thought that that was the cause. Oh now I feel so bad...I drank the juice. Pulpy, just as I always liked it. I poured another half a glass and took a sip. I can hear Vinyl getting up. She walked out into the main room.Our apartment was always kind of small, but I've always liked it. Cozy, you know.Her mane is a mess. It doesn't really make a difference, though. It's always kind of messy. I poured her some of the juice as well."Big day, today, huh?" She said as she gulped the glass of orange juice.I nodded. "Yeah, huge" I smiled again. She put on her glasses. "Look, I gatta go, but I'll see you tonight, right?""I don't see why I wouldnt see you, even if it is kinda late."She looked down "I know, sorry, but dont worry!" She opened the door a little bit "We're gunna have fun!" She shut the door and left.I smiled at that thought. Probably because we didnt have any 'fun' last night, is what she meant.I sat down on the couch and turned on the television. Damn re-runs on the food channel. I could have sworn I saw this show a week ago. I sigh and watch it anyways. Maybe I'll learn something new out of it.

Hours pass. It's nearly 1am and I haven't stopped watching the damn cooking channel. I hear Vinyl coming up the stairs to our apartment, not bothering to change my bored expression. At least I'm up when she gets home, right?Vinyl threw open the door. I could tell she wasn't very happy."Octy!" She only used that when she was emotional, whether good or bad. "That was the biggest night of my life! You said you'd be there!"I was taken back by this. I could barely come up with words."B-b-but what do you mean? I-I'm pretty sure I didn't remem-"Vinyl was more in tears than anger. "You said! You'd make the date! The 10th! You promised... and you're just sitting here, watching god-damn reruns of the new show you already watched a couple hours ago! And you call me lazy!"I had to butt in before it was too late. "But I thought today was the 17th! You gatta believe me! I woke up and it was a week ago. I dont know how I can prove it but maybe if I-""Shut up! Here you are barking on me for lame excuses and you try to explain you thought it was a week in advance! Yeah. Totally. Thanks a lot, Octavia"She slammed the door, leaving.I slumped down on the couch, crying."This isn't possible. It can't be! Am I going insane? I... I'll have to wait for tomorrow."I wiped the tears from my face and turned off the television.Climbing onto the bed I let the darkness take over as I fell into a sleepless slumber.
