Vinyl Scratch and Octavia: I Have To Fix This Before...It's Already too Late
I Have To Fix This Before...It's Already Too Late
Things were not looking good for Vinyl and Octavia. Vinyl missed her chance to ask her out, Octavia thought that Vinyl found another. One little misunderstanding causing drama for them both. In the apartment, Octavia was still continuing practicing her cello playing a melancholic melody while still shedding tears of sorrow. The salty tears were hitting onto the cello like raindrops from a storm cloud.
"I must move on. Vinyl has found another. I should be happy for her yet it's so difficult to leave the past behind me." She told herself. She perked up when she heard a knock at her door. She put her bow down and trotted to her front door of her and Vinyl's apartment and opens the door revealing one of her closest friends, Fredric Horseshoepin.
"Greetings Octavia." He greeted her.
"As to you too. Come in." Octavia replied back to him letting her friend into the apartment.
"So, what brings you here?" Octavia asked.
"There is something I would like to tell you." He started. His face began to turn slightly pink.
"Yes? Go on." Octavia replied. He took a deep breathe and told her what he needed to say.
"For quite some time, I had admired you. I was hoping that you could be my special somepony?" He confessed as he pulls out a big, beautiful bouquet of pink roses. Octavia exhaled and answered,
"I'm flattered but I'm in love with someone else but unfortunately, she is with another. I'm afraid I'm not ready to go out and search for somepony else right now."
"Oh I see. I understand." Fredric told her respecting her wishes. "Who is it that you have feelings for?" Octavia then began to blush as red as a tomato and took a deep breathe.
"It's Vinyl." Octavia answered.
"I see. If it's not too much trouble, would you like to talk about it?" Fredric offered.
"I suppose." She replied. "It all began when we first met at University. We were roommates back then and she took me on so many new adventures. I had admired her ever since."
"I see." Fredric was paying attention to every word she was saying. Octavia then continues her story about how she fell in love with Vinyl.
"Then after we had graduated. We stopped keeping in touch for quite a bit but we reunited again in Ponyville a few years ago when we had to perform for Cranky Doodle and Matilda's wedding. At first, I thought that her so called "wubs" wouldn't be able to go well with my cello but then when our two different worlds of music came together, it was like our melodies intertwined with each other in perfect harmony. It was new but it was such beautiful music to my ears. I began falling in love with her even more."
"Wow. That must of been a very heartwarming moment for you." Fredric commented. Octavia then began forming tears in her eyes as she began to continue.
"Indeed it was. It was some of my most favorite moments with her. We got along so well that we decided that we would become roommates once again and move into this apartment a few years ago.
"So that's how you began living with Vinyl. Anyways, what happened with Vinyl and the person she's dating?" He brought up.
"Oh that's right." Octavia remembered. "She offered me a ticket to go to a nightclub called 'Club Luna.'"
"Club Luna? Oh I see, I know that place. One of my companions Neon Lights took me to that place once."
"Wait. You know Neon Lights? As in, the mint green unicorn who wears a black dress shirt and white tie? The one with the messy black mane?" Octavia asked in surprise.
"Yes. Indeed I do. Why do you ask?" He simply replied.
"When Vinyl and I arrived to the club, we were so far enjoying ourselves dancing to some music until Neon Lights showed up. Vinyl introduced him to me and I sort of felt...well...you know..."Octavia was having a hard time admiting her feeling of jealousy to her male companion.
"Envious?" Fredric asked helping her complete her sentence.
"You could say that. Anyways, when they performed a duet together on stage. He confessed his love for Vinyl which meant it was too late so I stormed out of the building."
"What was her response?" Frederic asked. Octavia then realized that she didn't hear her response and that she was jumping to conclusions.
"Oh no." She panicked. "I stormed out of the building before I could listen for a response. I jumped to conclusions."
"It's okay Octavia calm down. Maybe she said yes. Maybe she said no. You won't know until you talked to her." Fredric was trying to calm Octavia down.
"Maybe if I talked to her, maybe I can figure out what had happened while I was gone." Octavia suggested.
"Brilliant idea. Remember, even if she is in love with somepony else, you two can always be friends." Fredric said.
"Thank so much. I'm so overjoyed that I have a wonderful companion such as you." Octavia thanked while hugging Fredic. Fredric decided to hug Octavia back and said,
"Of course. That is what friends are for."
Meanwhile, Vinyl along with Neon, Bon Bon, and Lyra were sprinting to Vinyl and Octavia's apartment so that Vinyl could make an attempt to fix her mistake. She hoped that she could make things right between her and Octavia and maybe even clear the air and try to confess to her.
"I hope Octavia is still home." Vinyl hoped.
"This is turning out to be like that high school drama book I read a while ago." Bon Bon commented making a connection with the situation and something else.
"You actually read that cliche high school romance with the mean girls and the mean jocks and cheerleaders?" Lyra asked.
"Not to mention the friendship betrayel." Neon Lights added.
"So what if I do." Bon Bon said looking and sounding feeling a little offenrded.
"Don't worry Bonny. I read that stuff sometimes." Lyra said. When the four made it to the apartment, they looked through the hole in the door and the sight shocked all four of them especially Vinyl. They saw Fredric and Octavia hugging. The four looked very disappointed.
"Aww. That's too bad." Lyra said in a sad tone.
"That's gotta sting." Neon commented taking his pair of shades off.
"I'm really sorry Vinyl." Bon Bon apologized. Vinyl then began forming tears in her eyes. She then breaks down into tears crying her eyes out.
"I guess I was too late." She said as she ran away from the three.
"Vinyl! Wait up!" Neon yelled. They decided to follow only to be interrupted by Fredric walking out of the apartment.
"Oh why hello there Neon." He greeted Neon.
"Freddy! My main man!" He yelled throwing his arms around his friend.
"I thought I told you to cease addressing me like that." Fredric complained. "Anyways, what brings you here?"
"It's kinda a long story." Neon started.
"Yeah. You better get some popcorn for this." Lyra commented.

Vinyl Scratch and Octavia: I Have To Fix This Before...It's Already too Late
Fredric along with Neon, Bon Bon, and Lyra was trotting down a path and were about to search for Vinyl. The three then began explaining to Freddy their side of the story about what happened earlier during the night.
"So anyways, what brings you three here?" Fredric asked as her along with the other three were trotting down the street.
"Vinyl wanted to ask out Octavia, but I see she's already been taken." Neon explained to him.
"Taken?" Fredric asked. "I think you were all misinformed. Octavia and I are only companions. To be perfectly honest, I did admire her at first but when I confessed my love and admiration to her, she rejected the offer and told me that her heart belongs to somepony else."
"Oh, really? Who?" Neon asked looking and sounding very curious to his friends response.
"I think Octavia told me that her name was...um...it was...Vinyl?" Fredric answered making it sound more like a question than an answer while putting his hoof on his chin.
"I guess Octavia does like Vinyl back." Neon responded.
"Called it!" Lyra cheered pumping her hoof in the air out of celebration.
"Um, I think you meant I called it since I assumed that Octavia likes Vinyl." Bon Bon corrected Lyra.
"Whatever, doesn't matter anyways." Lyra responded as Bon Bon rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"That's a coincidence cuz Vinyl told me that she was sweet on Octavia." Neon commented having a rather puzzled look on his face.
"I guess they were crushing on each other." Lyra realized
"You guess?" Bon Bon asked slightly irritated.
"Hey there's Vinyl." Lyra pointed a good at the sobbing while unicorn sitting on bench.
"Vinyl!" They all shouted in unison while galloping towards her.
"There you are V." Stated Neon in a very worried tone with a matching expression.
"We had been worried sick about you." Bon Bon scolded.
"Oh hey guys. Oh and you brought him along. Octavia's new colt friend." Vinyl then began glaring at Fredric. The jealous glare.
"Here's the thing." Lyra started.
"Fredric isn't Octavia's colt friend." Neon Lights finished.
"What?! Then how come I saw you two hugging each other? And what's with the roses? And I thought that Octavia was in love with me but then moved on with Fredric." Vinyl was looking very surprised at the sudden statement.
"It is quite a lengthy story." Fredric started. "Octavia and I are nothing more or nothing less than simple conpanions. I did have some romantic feelings for her but I was rejected. I respected her wishes and Octavia told me all about you. She told me about how you both met during your days at University. She told me about how she fell in love with you. Vinyl, Octavia really is in love with you all of this time."
"Wow. I guess Bon Bon's theory was right all of this time. I can't believe how stupid I was for not realizing it."
"No worries V. Ponies can make the exact same mistake as you." Neon told her trying to cheer his friends up.
"Yeah. Before Bonnie and I dated. We didn't really know how we or the other pony felt which caused a lot of drama." Lyra added remembering a similar sitiuation.
"Yeah. That." Bon Bon commented Lyra.
"What happened between you guys before you both went out with each other?" Fredric asked.
"It's a long story." Bon Bon responded.
"Sorry dude for accusing you like that back there." Vinyl apoligized to Fredric.
"It's quite alright. Octavia is very lucky to have such an amazing pony such as you." Fredric accepted Vinyl.
"Now that this thing was cleared up, what are we gonna do with Octavia?" Bon Bon asked.
"I say I go up to her and tell her how I feel." Vinyl suggested wiping all the tears in her eyes making a determined pose and face.
"Wait to take a risk." Lyra complimented Vinyl.
"Yeah. Go for it." Bon Bon encouraged Vinyl agreeing with Lyra's comment.
"How?" Vinyl asked.
"I think I have an exemplary suggestion." Fredric chimed in.
"Really? What?" Bon Bon asked.
"I'll make reservations for you both at the restaraunt in Canterlot. You can maybe tell her how you feel at an appropriate time and I'm sure she will say yes." Fredic offered.
"Really? Wow! Thanks Fredric. Your the best!" Vinyl thanked hugging the stallion.
"Ooof! Um, your welcome." Fredric responded.
"Well, since you're going to Canterlot, you need to look presentable. No friend of mine is going to Canterlot looking like, well, that!" Bon Bon suggested.
"True. Why not call your cousin Rarity. She is a fashion designer after all. Heck, she has her own boutique at both Ponyville and Canterlot." Lyra added in.
"Good call." Vinyl commented. "Well, I better go see Rarity for my makeover."
"Wow. Vinyl Scratch wearing a frilly dress and make up. This I gotta see." Neon teased follwed by a small laugh. Lyra then joins Neon in the laughter only to get paused by an unamused Vinyl glaring at them. Things quickly calmed down after that.
"Yes, well, um, I must be going. Take care everypony. I'll be sure to make the reservations for both you and Octavia tomorrow. I'll let you know when your dinner reservation is." Fredric began trotting the opposite direction back to his house.
"See ya man!" Neon shouted
"Take care!" Bon Bon shouted waving with her forhoof.
"Bye!" Lyra called out.
"Thanks and see ya!" Vinyl called out.
"Well, now all I have to do is go see Rarity for my dress and I will be home free." Vinyl told her friends. "But what if I screw up big time? She'll probably hate my guts and I'll die a really really sad death."
"No worries PON-3." Neon comforted her. "We'll be there and watch you the entire time to make sure things run smoothly at your confession."
"Hold it right there Mr. Matchmaker." Bon Bon disagreed. "Since when are we gonna be spying on them? I will be an invasion of their privacy."
"Oh come on Bonnie. Vinyl could use the support." Lyra persuaded her.
"I guess you're right about that." Bon Bon agreed.
"You guys would do that for me?" Vinyl asked her eyes sparking.
"Course we would. That's what friends are for right?" Neon assured her.
"Yeah what he said." Lyra added in. Bon Bon nodded in agreement.
"Thanks you guys. You are the best friends a pony could ask for." Vinyl was so thankful for her friends' act of kindness. "Well, gotta catch the train if I want to make myself look hot."
The four then parted ways. They all went home accept for Vinyl of course who is catching the train for Ponyville. She was one step closer to getting her mare.
