True Love

“Well, this is it, your new home Octy! Whad’ja think? Not too bad right?” Vinyl said show showing Octavia her house as they were now approaching it.

Vinyl’s house was a two story building made of wood, was on top of a little hill near the edge of Ponyville, and had a pool in the backyard. It looked like any other building in Ponyville, besides the pool and the little big in size.

“Looks fine on the outside, but it’s the inside that worries me.”

“Oh come on. Do you really think the inside of my house is that dirty?” Vinyl said laughing a little with a smile.

“Yes.”

“Ok then, go in and see for yourself. But I’m telling you the inside of my house isn’t that bad.” Vinyl said pointing a hoof at the door.

“I am not believing a word you say until I see for myself.” Octavia said now walking towards the door. She opened it, a little surprised it wasn’t locked, and was now walking in what looked like a living room.

Octavia was scanning the house from where she was standing, the living room. The inside of the house was painted shiny white and two different shades of blue in some places, matching Vinyl’s hair color. There was a kitchen by the living room with all the kitchen materials, microwave, fridge, etc. They were all white. Leading from the living room were a set of glass doors which leads to the backyard with the pool. The first floor had two rooms, Vinyl’s room (which had a bathroom in it) and her Music room. The stairs were near the living room leading to the second floor which has Vinyl’s guest room, another bathroom, and the balcony. And to Octavia’s surprise, Vinyl’s house wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be. Sure there are some things here and there but the place was nice and neat.

“Not as bad as you thought it was, huh Octy?” Vinyl said, walking behind Octavia with a grin on her face.
Octavia didn’t reply.

“My guest room is the last door to the left on the second floor. You can take a look at it and see if it’s good. I’ll go get us some food in our stomachs.” Vinyl said heading towards the kitchen, laughing a little on the way.

There was a blue bed, a window with blue curtains, some nice furniture, a closet, and the walls were painted white.

“I suppose this will have to do.” Octavia said.

Octavia was about to see what Vinyl was planning for dinner when she passed by the balcony. Octavia decided to have a little look at the view it had, and she was glad she did.

From where she was standing, she had a beautiful view of Ponyville. It may have been dark outside but the moon gave Ponyville a nice shade of light. There was also a soft breeze outside which blew on Octavia’s mane. And, for the first time today, she was smiling. ‘Vinyl won’t mind if I’m out here, just for a little while’.

Vinyl was looking through cabinets and the fridge to look for something to eat. But so far Vinyl found nothing.

“awwww maaan. There’s nothing to eat around here. Should’ve stopped by somewhere to restock on food.”

Vinyl continued to look for something and luckily found some flowers and bread.

‘Guess this is good enough for a plain sandwich or something. Wonder if Octavia will like it.’

Vinyl thought about it for a minute.

‘Guess there’s only one way to find out.’

-One minute later-

Vinyl, now finished with her and Octavia’s sandwich, was going to let Octavia know that dinner was ready. She was heading towards the guest room when she noticed that Octavia was instead out on the balcony. She was about the talk to her when she noticed something.

Her smile.

Vinyl had seen Octavia smile at rare times when they were still in school. But was all either when she was in a performance or when she was with her fancy friends. Vinyl managed to see her smile at those times, but not from a good view. And not only was she seeing Octavia smile for the first time in a long time, she was getting a good view of it too. And as a bonus Octavia’s mane was flowing with the wind. Vinyl couldn’t help but lean against the balcony door and just watch Octavia, smiling.

‘Man, Octy sure is something. I’ve always dreamed of her as my marefriend, going out on dates, doing lots of fun couple-ly things…like kissing.’

Vinyl, now blushing, was closing her eyes imagining how it would be like kissing Octavia. And while she was having her little thinking moment she accidently gave out a soft sigh that Octavia managed to hear.

Octavia turned her head lightly to the left, seeing Vinyl leaning against the balcony door with a smile on her face.

“Um, Vinyl dear. What are you doing?”

“Huh!? Oh, uuhhh. I was just having a little happy dream was all, hehe.” Vinyl trying hard not to blush too much.

“While leaning against the balcony door?” Octavia said raising an eyebrow.

“Look, do you want food or not.” Vinyl said trying to change the topic back to dinner.

And just at that same time Octavia’s stomach made the same noise that all stomachs do.

“Alright” was all Octavia said.

Both mares had finished their food, Octavia expecting something more. She was getting ready for bed when Vinyl came in.

“Need anything else Octy?” Vinyl making sure her new roommate was comfortable.

“Well you can start by calling me by my full name.” Octavia said in stern voice, getting annoyed at the nickname.

“Naw! I can give you a new nickname tho. How about….Tavi?”

*sigh* “Fine. At least it isn’t as horrible as Octy.”

There was a little pause between the two ponies, unsure of what to do next.

“Thank you for letting me stay here Vinyl.” Octavia speaking first.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s what friends do.” Vinyl said giving her a big smile.

“We’re friends?” Octavia said in a light voice.

“yea! We may be two totally different ponies but that still doesn’t mean we can’t be friends. We are friends right?”

Octavia was unsure of what to say now. She thought that Vinyl had always disliked her since the first day of school.

Then Octavia started to smile. “Yes. We are.”

“Great!” Vinyl said while pulling Octavia into a hug.

Octavia was startled at first, but gave in and hugged her back, feeling the warmth Vinyl’s body was giving out.

…

“Vinyl.”

“Yea Tavi?”

“You’re doing it again.”

Vinyl then let go her.

“Right, sorry about that.”

“It’s quite alright Vinyl.”

“Yea, well. Goodnight Tavi.”

“Goodnight to you as well Vinyl.”

Vinyl, now out of Octavia’s room, was going to turn it for the night. Octavia was now in bed. When Octavia would try to get some sleep one thing that would help her was thinking of something happy, comfortable, or anything else. And tonight, the thought that help her sleep that night, was of those two hugs Vinyl had given her, and the warmth it had brought her.
