The next morning.

All was quiet within the walls of Vinyl and Octavia's comfortable home, as the rays from Celestia's sun warmed the couple lying down in their bed.

Suddenly, The tranquility was broken as a manic incomprehensible noise tore through the Dj's mind. Without a second thought, she removes her headphones and turns off the alarm on her phone.

She then looks to the side and sees Octavia laying there flat on her back with an odd but pleasant grin.

Feeling somewhat afraid, Vinyl couldn't help but lean over and plant a kiss on the sleeping earthpony, in hopes it would bring herself luck.

Not wanting to delay the inevitable further she climbed out of bed and made certain the bedside clock was unplugged. After that, she proceeded down the stairs.

As she went she noticed the various photos that adorned the wall, each one held some kind of precious memory.

In passing, Vinyl saw what she believed to be her very favorite photo. It was one she had taken with Octavia on the night of their first date.

viewing this snapshot of her life gave her a Warm feeling so she grabbed it and continued to the front door.

leaving the house she was met with an image she was until now unsure if she should expect. Wrapped around their busted mailbox was a pile of still-smoldering wreckage. One that probably could have been called a cart at some point.

Vinyl briefly smacks the night old alcohol from her lips before mumbling something about insurance and proceeding to check the mail.

On the ground amongst the letters that had fallen from the dented mailbox was. a large box wrapped in tape marked only with a note saying never again featuring crude drawings of a cart and Donuts golden ring cutiemark.

With a sigh, Vinyl gathered all the items and levitated them into the house an onto the kitchen table, With that out of the way Vinyl turns on the coffee maker and sits down to begin looking through the box.

Vinyl had always been impressed by Donuts skill, but this seemed overboard even for him. In the box were aged photos and pictures old paintings all of which featuring ponies who bear an uncanny resemblance to the mare Vinyl had awoken next to. stuffed into the side was an envelope containing birth certificates arrest records and newspaper clippings. However, the largest item in the box was an absurdly old looking book.

"The Spirit Renascitur." Vinyl said to herself reading the cover of the ancient tome. And no sooner had she spoken the words Octavia trotted in holding her head to the side.

"Good morning dear, yawwwwn."

"Morning Tavy."

"Do you know where the tablets are? got a real head splitter this morning."

"Oh, yeah there on the counter by the sugar."

"Thanks love."

"Hey, Tavy. when you're done with that could you grab us some coffee and sit down...there's.............. something we need to talk about."

the end.
