        "What happened? How do you get blinded from a car?" Vinyl asked, after calming down.

        "When two shards of glass from a bottle on the road slice up your eyes." Replied Wisp, driving the car that matched her, red, black, and playing music whenever it was on. It was on right now.

        "I am sorry, just, whenever you need help, call me. You're phone is voice activated, right?", said Wisp, eyes on the road, sad that she could use them, and not know how to stop hating the feeling that she was better off than her patients. Every time.

        "Yeh, could you change the station to a comedy station? I need to laugh.", said Vinyl, hating that she was better off than most people her doctor, her friend, had taken care of. But she still felt this way.

        "Sure, I was going to anyways, my favorite station is on right now. Awwwwwww shit. Traffic jam. We'll be here for at least an hour." stated Wisp, she hated traffic. So much.

        Vinyl was silent for a second, wondering how to ask this question. "Octavia's at her parent's house this week, can you help me hide the fact that I'm...Blind from her until I'm ready to tell her? We already have a pact that she doesn't move anything unless it's her room, and I don't move anything that's hers, so I need to memorize the layout of the house, is that possible?"

        "Yes, but, you need to work. Not only on memorizing, but you're music. Is you're computer made only for unicorns?" Wisp replied, failing to keep the anger and hatred out of her voice.

        "Ummmm, yes. I know how to use my magic to make tracks.... Why the check are you so angry?", asked Vinyl, changing the subject.

        The only reply came through gritted teeth. "Mother. Fucking. TRAFFIC!"

        Ok, thought Vinyl, I will listen to the radio, take my mind off things. She was giggling at the joke about how parents should beat their kids when she thought of something. "Are there marks?"

        "Huh?"

        "On my eyes. Are there marks."

        "No, I had to remove them. They were damped beyond hope. You have glass eyes exactly like your old ones now... I'm so sorry."

        "Don't worry, that's good news. I won't have to hide them." Vinyl said with what she hoped was happiness.

        "We're here.", said Wisp, hoping she could make this work for everyone.
