No Choice in Change

        On the outside, Vinyl was happy. She was acting. Wisp left over a hour ago, trusting Vinyl to not fall out the window. Vinyl remembered the conversation they had before Wisp went home. "Why did you ask if I could see an apple if I have glass eyes?", wondered Vinyl. A logical question.

        "Those eyes are enchanted, if you weren't a unicorn, you should see. But unicorns have magic, and it offsets the enchantment." Replied Wisp.

         That did make sense, but even though she looked fine, she hated not seeing. So much. But she was acting. She was not Vinyl, she was DJ Pon3, happy, healthy, and not thinking of what she could not see.

         She was thinking of her doctor, and if she liked mares. No, she asked before, and she said no. That was that. Vinyl remembered wanting to have a marefriend once, but not wanting to have more people she could not be with. Being a musician can be hard sometimes. She fell asleep to the radio playing music that came from the black box. Lost in nothing but black.

         "Wakey wakey. I have a surprise for you.", said Wisp. That did not work.

         "GET UP!", she screamed.

         It worked. Vinyl was up. And angry. Very angry. "What are you doing here!", asked Vinyl, recognising her friend's voice.

         "I got you a date. Lunch. Five hours. Her name is Lavender. She's cute. You will be meeting at The Grassy Knoll."

         Vinyl let that news settle. "You arranged a date for me, with a mare I don't know. And you still realize that I am BLIND!"

        "Yep. If you show up early, she won't know. I can drive you.", came the reply. A few seconds passed. "Look," started Wisp, "you need to be happy. You aren't. You need to have someone who is more than a friend to talk to. Give it a try."

        After a few seconds, the reply came. "Fine. Let's Get ready."

        Lavender. She was the pegasus mare who's coat was the color of her name. Her hair has two different colors, purple with yellow stripes. She was very cute, even her blue eyes were so cute straight mares look at her with want. But she was taken. Taken by the white coated mare with the red eyes, and the hair with two shades of electric blue. Vinyl was cute too. Vinyl was also better at opening up a conversation. "You work at the flower shop right?"

        "Yes I do. I love it there, so beautiful. So many colors.", replied Lavender, thankful that the date did not start awkwardly.

        Yet Vinyl was not as happy to be reminded of colors, due to the lack of those in her world. "You are a musician, correct?"

        The question snapped Vinyl away from her thoughts. "Um.. Yes. My stage name is DJ Pon3."

        "Oh. I love your house music. You're very good. And cute.", said Lavender, teasing the mare across from her.

        "Th-thank you. You're uhhh. You're cute too.", came the awkward reply.

        Wisp smiled from her table not to far away. This was going nicely.
