Chapter 1: the pool party

Hey everyone, this is my first “fan fic”, this story is based on a true story in the events of the past 3 months or so, hope you enjoy!!

~~chapter 1~~

*sigh* Do I really need to go Vinyl…? I mean, it sounds fun going to Bon Bon’s pool party, but I’d like to be practicing my cello right now…” I said with disbelief.

“come on ‘Tavi, you really need to get out of the house, your gray coat is looking much paler than usual, some sun would do you good, plus Raritys going to be there, you know how much we like to poke fun at her.” The DJ said with a smirk on her face.

“I suppose….” The temperature was rising, Celestia’s bright yellow sun at high noon, and with the skills of rainbow dash, not a cloud was in the sky making the heat even more unbearable.
*whew!* “it is very hot today, good thing we are going to a pool party huh?” I said as I reach for an umbrella. “Rainbow Dash, could have at least let a few clouds out today… “ letting out a sigh
The DJ just shrugged with an emotionless stare as the two approached the gate that leads to Bon Bon’s back yard.

“Hey you two! Glad you can make it!” Bon Bon yelled from across the yard.

“Hey” we both said in unison with a smile on our face. The two of us liked Bon Bon in the sense that she was good company… but not much else, she was rather annoying but regardless a good friend, I could tell Vinyl was feeling the same uneasiness as I had upon entering the gate. We weren’t the first guests to arrive, we actually the last ones, which meant that I was late… everyone disregarded that moment of failure when they knew that I was late due to the fact that Vinyl was the one to have given me a ride. Among the group of friends who went back to going about their business at the party, I remembered that Scratch said Rare’d be there. I sent myself into a robotic state scanning the guests for my target, searching for the mare that’d been giving me hell for the past few years.

“Target…sighted… Yo! Dj-p0n3” I said in an awkwardly, the Djs ears perking at the very thought of me saying ‘yo’ and her stage name’Dj-P0n3’. “go get some more stuff from the carriage, I’m going in for the kill…” she responds with a quiet nod, glad to get out of the daytime party, having to suffer through Bon Bons ‘Fabled’ songs, I don’t blame her at all, the music was atrocious. My thoughts about the music taste, the party faded away in an instant. When I saw that a pink mare was happily bouncing around right next to the marsh mellowed drama queen. Time seemed to slowdown as I watched her gracefully bounce every step, being as happy as ever, as if she didn’t have a care in the world. I instantly asked myself, how did that Demon, get with her? Then assumed the position, new target in hand, fixed my mane, tidied up my bathing suit, and went in making sure to be presented perfectly for the beautiful pink mare. Rarity took notice of what I was doing and instantly started thinking with her devious mind, how she can lower me so I would be less presentable to the pink mare. It was a good thing I saw her spying me, for have I haven’t I wouldn’t be prepared to retaliate without any finesse.

“Why, hello Rarity, how are you doing this fine…hot day?” I asked casually, not wanting to make myself look to uptight in front of the beautiful carefree mare.

“Oh Octavia, didn’t know you where coming, I’m surprised you even came out of the house, playing your cello all day, you sure you’re fit to swim? It is a pool party after all.” Rarity spat

“I grew bored of practicing a while back, learning to play the cello is more than a feat you’d ever reach rarity, with all your fancy dresses, I’m surprised you’re out of the house as well, and I’m positive I’m ‘fit’ for swimming, playing a cello is much harder to carry than small weightless needles all day, and with your magic, all the heavy lifting is done without any strength at all. So the question should be are you even able to stay afloat?” I quickly retaliated. The pink mare sat there smiling in the background enjoying our conflict, watching, waiting for the victor to arise, with my dark secret that I visit 4hoof I know my way around an argument, and if it comes to it trolling, but never without grace or sophistication. Rarity gasping for air on the situation, I let her try to collect her thoughts and I whisked my ‘magic’ and started smooth talking and introduced myself “Hello, there my name is Octavia Philaharmic, what is yours?” As I say with an extended hoof

“My names Pinkamena Diane Pie, but you can call me Pinkie Pie! *gasps* or just Pinkie!! Whoa! I’ve never seen somepony argue with someone quite like that! Why isn’t your cutie mark something to do with arguing? What would that even look like…” my mind in trance, pinkie... so that’s her name… that was the only thing that would come to my mind…. just the way that she was talking a million miles a minute, my whole body shaking from her hoof-shake, she oddly smelled like cotton candy, it was all very enticing, she was the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on… I knew I wanted to be with her that very moment. “Well Octavia, it was nice meeting you!!! But Rarity wants me with her; I think she’s a bit jealous that I’m still talking to you and not being with her.”

“W-wait!? What’s somepony like you doing with somepony like her?” I stalled so the pink mare would stay with me just ever so longer.

“Oh she needed help out at her boutique, so my manager sent me over to help her out, and she said she was going to have a ‘smashing time over here’ and invited me along, kinda like a date! Isn’t it exciting! I finally might meet my special somepony, Rarity’s one cool pony” my heart sank after hearing that…

“Oh… you are on a date huh… well… I will let you two be…” I responded trying to hold back the tears “but… may I ask you one question?” Pinkie instantly caught on to the way I was feeling
“No, we’re not going out officially, but we’re together, ya understand? I’m sorry” she said with a frown, knowing she couldn’t make me happy, but what she said had quite the contrary effect, I cracked a weak smile, my dark personality arising, and I got to thinking, my smile to a very large grin, if they’re not going out yet, maybe I could go out with her before Rarity has a chance of going any further… The rest of the party involved your average party stuff, dancing, some pool volleyball, I was surprised that Rarity and I actually wrestled each other to see who could get who into the pool, after obtaining my victory over her, I became my normal self, somewhat shocked that I would have ever done such a thing, still felt good to pay rarity back somehow, just when I was done fixing my mane, a streak of colors and a lot of water came splashing over me ruining my perfectly fixed hair…

“Hi Rainbow… I see you’re having fun…” I said with a sigh, and then started giggling over the fact that I haven’t seen her in a long while “What is going on?”

“Oh you know, just flying around, pulling some pranks, and wanting to talk to you about something… about pinkie…” her tone becoming serious as she said the mares name.

“Is she not wonderful? I would like to go out with her Rainbow, do you think she would ever go out with me?” I said with a love struck sigh, placing a hoof on my cheek, a goofy looking smile on my face

“That’s the thing ‘Tavi… she’s with Rarity…” Dash said concerned

“Oh lighten up Dashie, when was the last time Rarity was ever nice to me in the past… well… EVER?!? Also, I asked her herself, and they are not going out officially, I will not let her slip in-between my hoofs, remember Colgate? I’m finally over her and I have been feeling just a tad lonely. I am going after her, no exceptions!” I said confidently as to bring up my own self esteem and give me the confidence to ask her out. The second I got up, I felt something upon my shoulder; I looked and saw the cyan colored hoof…

“No…” was the only thing to come out of the multicolored speedster, it was sharp, I felt like it penetrated my soul…
“W-why do you say that Dash?” I responded, somewhat shaking from the monotone sharpness of her voice. All she did was point to a small raft within the pool… the two of them snuggling like no other; even throwing in a few kisses here and there… my heart sank for the second time that day… “I-I am still going to try!” it took all of Rainbow’s power to not slap me across the face that instant.

“You don’t mess with that… You just don’t… Ok Octavia?” I have never seen such justice in my rainbow friend, guess that is why she represents the element of loyalty. Still determined to finish my quest, the fire in my soul hasn’t left, I needed to do this, it was like killing two birds with two stones, I get to make rarity worse off than ever (more so when I covered everything that she owned from the My little human show) and I would get the mare, it was the perfect plan!
“I am still going to do it Rainbow, nothing is going to stop me!” I said disregarding my serious floating friend.

“I’m going to tell Pinkie and Rarity of what you’re going to do Octavia.” In disbelief I shouted
“You know I wonder sometimes how YOU of all ponies ended up becoming the element of Loyalty. This really shows how ‘loyal’ you are to your friends… HPMH” and trotted away looking for Vinyl that would be more understanding, giving Rainbow the coldest shoulder that I have ever given…

Author’s notes: In the real story, only Colgate, Twilight, and Pinkie are girls, the rest are all guys (me included)

Chapter 3: trusts and bonds

~~chapter3~~

Asleep… or rather awake pretending to be asleep… moaning… not wanting to have ever woken up… Vinyl was going out with Pinkie… I was not… dreading to have ever gotten; up I forced myself to scarf down some food… I had like 20 texts… Twilight had been texting me all night asking if I was ok… Vinyl was also texting me… saying why I would lie about her like that… my insults about her were grueling… “Vinyl cannot do anything, she is not reliable in any sort, she would lie to you, and she would never love you, ever!” I cannot believe myself I said all of those things about Vinyl… crying in my own despair I finally mustered up the courage and texted back to Vinyl...
“I’m sorry Vinyl scratch… I wanted Pinkie so bad… I just… I don’t know what to say… and you did tell me you didn’t like her at the time… how was I supposed to know that you did… :’( “ I got a call back from her.

“YOU LITTLE MOTHER BUCKER!!” *silence* “how could you say stuff like that ‘Tavi? Why….”

“I am sorry Vinyl, I truly am… it was just… I wanted her, and you knew that… why did you do something like that to me...” I said sobbing… Vinyl lets out a big sigh; you can almost feel like the room just decompressed a little.

“I’m sorry Octavia…but I wanted her too…” Vinyl said

“Well you have her now…” I responded sniffling

“…”

“…”

“’Tavi… you’re my best friend… and I don’t want us to stop being friends… and I’m sorry for what I did, but can you understand why?”

“Yea…” I said in a solemn tone…

“You wanna hang out today? Just us two, maybe Lyra as well?”

“I’d love to Vinyl” i responded with a weak smile

“I’ll see ya later ‘Tavi… you gonna be ok…” she responded with that same assuring voice she always had when I was feeling down

“Yea… I’m going to be alright… thanks Vinyl… you are the best friend anypony could ever have, I will see you later, ‘k.” Vinyl starts laughing “what Vinyl?” I said angrily

“I caught you using two contractions this conversation” she said playfully, hoping to blow the sad part of our conversation away

“Oh shoot!” I said flustered “you know I don’t pay attention to that kinda stuff when I’m feeling like this… ah crap… KIND OF stuff when I AM feeling like this, better?”

“Very! “She said laughing. I even heard the phone drop and it somewhat vibrating across the floor, I facehoofed and said told her goodbye, feeling much better than when I woke up just a while ago, looking at the clock on my phone, I gasped realizing it was already 3pm! I’ve never slept in so late before. I quickly did my ‘morning’ routine, making sure I looked perfect for the rest of the day, as I was fixing my special bowtie from my favorite band Zero and X, I heard a knocking on the door,

“Guess Vinyl was not kidding when she said she would see me soon” sure enough Vinyl and Lyra were right outside the door waiting for me, it was kind of funny, the ONLY thing they had in common was music and that they where unicorns, they where sisters but looked absolutely alike, of course the hair color might be similar, but who knows what Vinyl’s hair color originally is every year it’s a new color… simply amazes me that they are nothing alike in looks

“Ready to go ‘Tavi?”

“As ready as I will ever be.” cello strapped to my back, my bow tie on, I was ready for anything, got everything in the carriage, and I went to help vinyl drive the darn thing, the carriage was a really big and blocky TIA Lyra sitting in the trunk like she always does, when we arrived at the marketplace where we always hang out. Vinyl dropped us off and told us she was going to see pinkie, I wanted to make sure that Vinyl would come back so I asked her that.

“Don’t worry; I’ll be back in 10 seconds flat.”

“Okie Dokey Loki” Lyra said as I shrugged “See ya!” you hear her galloping away in the large TIA. 3 hours later… after waiting for Vinyl to comeback, and constantly texting her, we weren’t getting any responses… so Lyra and I decided to call up Bon Bon but she was at boxing, which was surprising to me but at the same time it also was not, seeing as she was not allowed to have any musical instruments at her house so she decided to take up a sport instead which is understandable, but nothing that I would ever do, nopony should have to endure that kind of training. we then tried calling Fluttershy, but she did not have a ride home so she could not come, hay we even called up Rainbow, but she was busy… we called Vinyl scratch one more time to see if she would even respond…

“ YOLO!!! Hehe, Naw it’s just me Vinyl! What’s up?”

“Vinyl Scratch! Where have you been!?” I said worried something had happened

“oh uh… Octavia? Yea… I’m not coming back Sis… I…”

“You WHAT!?! You promised me you’d come back so we can hang out today, and don’t call me sis, I’m really pissed off at you right now!”

“Excuuuuse me princess that I didn’t want to Lyra to give me a bunch of bull for ditching you guys.”

“How can you say that Vinyl? You just said you ditched us, don’t you have any moral value at all?” I cried

“OCTAVIA!! YOU HAD BETTER NOT GIVE VINYL THAT KIND OF BULL AFTER WHAT YOU DID LAST NIGHT, IM SURPRISED THAT YOU HAVE THE MORAL DECENCY TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT, CLEARLY YOU DON’T HAVE ANY MORAL VALUE FOR ANYTHING!!!!” Pinkamena shouted, it felt like it was raining knives, each word she said piercing my heart and very soul… “Good bye Octavia…”

Lyra and I heartbroken that Her own sister and my very best friend leaving us for some dumb mare, after calling Rarity, AJ, even Bon Bon, we all agreed that this was unhealthy for Vinyl, Vinyl… was literally begging permission from Pinkie so that he could take Lyra, Vinyl’s own sister, back home in her own carriage!! We all liked pinkie, she was good compony but it was just unhealthy for Vinyl. We tried to come up with a plan to split them up… It was very simple, plan A was simply talking to Vinyl, plan B was telling her own mother about all of this…
We all sat down, said it was a girls night, no couples no nothing, and we set plan A into action, gathered around the White Pony, Sipping on some soda, Sunglasses on, giving her an expressionless look, I knew better, she was rocking out to one of her latest creations in her own little world oblivious to the seriousness of the situation

“Vinyl?” I started everyone looking awkward, making sure to make absolutely zero eye contact with the DJ

“Yo, what’s up ‘Tavi, everything all right?” she asked without a care in the world

“Yea… we all wanted to talk to you before we start this thing, because we ALL know Bon Bon wants to make us watch Feather club tonight… so I guess I will start?” I said sheepishly with a really bad poker face.

“Mkay, but can we make this quick? I really wanna see how ‘good’ feather club is, and AJ, Rare, your house is available for all of this?” the two opposites looked at each other awkwardly and then nodded in unison. “So what’s the scoop ‘Tavi? What do you all hafta say?”

“It is about Pinkie…” instantly the DJ took off her headphones and sunglasses, giving us all a cold stare with those blood red eyes, she wanted us to see her reactions rather than be hidden by the mask of the sunglasses. “She is VERY unhealthy for you, you know that right? I mean look at all of us, you have lied to every single one of us, and it is very hurtful it feels like you backstab us when you do something like that, I mean Vinyl all your friends here support you on your decision, and trust me Vinyl I am over her, and well… she’s tearing us apart, and I do NOT want that to happen…” I said nearly bursting to tears on the inside keeping my emotionless mask on the outside, bottling every single emotion I had inside of me… I sat there as each of them took a turn giving reasons why she’s not good for her

“Vinyl, she broke up with me when I went to Manehatten for three funerals, it was THE WORST THING EVER!!! I mean honestly, why would one doe such a thing?” Rarity proclaimed

“I’m your sister, and I don’t like her at all, she’s mean, hitting you, hurting you physically, and when your brother is saying something like that, you should probably listen to me…” Lyra pleaded, as Bon Bon and AJ said a few things, Vinyl had an expression of disbelief, concern, and a submissive look, as if she was accepting everything that we were saying, I knew better… so as we all leaved the restaurant, I placed a hoof on her shoulder

“Scratch… I have one last thing to say… you are my best friend… and I never want this friendship to end… but Vinyl… when every single one of your best and closest friends and your sister are all saying that you should break up with her… you probably should listen to them… to us… are you ok DJ-P0n3?” I said with a weak smile, knowing she always loved it when I called her that

“Yea, and thanks ‘Tavi” as she says putting on her sunglasses, regardless of the fact it is nearly 11 o’clock “thanks for looking out for me…” she said softly. With an emotionless expression I responded,

“Come on now, so Bon Bon can watch her Feather Club movie, I hear it’s a pretty good movie, and it sounds like a lot of action, but I am still not sure why they recommend watching it to the kids in psychology?” shrugging in the progress. Vinyl laughing awkwardly, in that moment I knew why she put her glasses on… she wasn’t fine… and she was lying about listening to us, she was going to high tail out of hanging out with us tomorrow to go see Pinkie Pie, with a sigh, I climbed in the TIA next to the expressionless DJ and started galloping away carrying the others all the way to Rarity’s and AJ’s house.
At the house, watching feather club, we all got very bored with the movie, I managed to get my secret of 4hoof out to everybody, and they all enjoyed it, especially the /PIP/ board of 4hoof, I swear the most immature people only wanted to go on that board for the porn… all of them right here in the same room as me… facehoofing in the process I went to the kinda new /mlh/ board, and my other secret got out, that I like My little Human: The Office, getting harassed by my taste in a little filly’s show, I made them watch an episode, they all liked the episode with Kevin Malone being who he is, and then we ended up watching a SECOND episode, thinking I converted my fellow friends into the group, I started trying to go for another episode, Lyra was the only one enthusiastic about it, Rarity said she needed some sleep,so I asked if I could have her laptop so I can play some Ponycraft, lying that mine was dead and forgot the charger, as soon as I got the goods, and rarity went to sleep, we all grouped up while AJ sat there playing Ponycraft, and we started planning what we would do to Rarity.

“Should we dye her hair green again?” Lyra said

“Or we could put a gray colored ribbon and put it on ALL of her designs” countered AJ

“I… have a better idea…” I said with an evil grin, holding up my USB “I Octavia Philaharmic, have been waiting for this day for a VERY long time; knowing Rarity’s Ponystation 3 was unprotected from one as such myself, now her laptop as well, it is time ladies to humanize this party!” I first then uploaded all 400 some odd backround wallpapers of humans as well as sounds and what not from the show itself, and then put on a human theme on her PS3 , it was glorious, making sure to put the manliest person just to put a dent into her ‘lady like’ physic. All of us laughing to what I did, we fell asleep with a small victory close to our hearts… me knowing it was temporary, it all would still come crashing down tomorrow…

When I woke up, I looked for the electric blue haired pony, just as I predicted, Vinyl had left us early in the morning, knowing she had no sleep to go see Pinkie, the DJ probably used to the lack of sleep from all the clubs she hits. All of us despaired that our attempt did not work; we sent one of us as a sacrifice a messenger to the Dj’s parents. We hoofed over her some details about what pinkie has been doing to us all and worst of all Vinyl, relief had struck all of us when the mother said she would talk to her daughter about this. Of which was a sign of good luck for us. Things finally looking up for a change…

(Authors notes: I felt like I could’ve done better at portraying the decay of friendship in this chapter, but hey that’ll fix itself soon… oh hey, can you spot the references, some are subtle others aren’t first one to name all of them will get a cameo appearance in the next chapter!! [yea I’ll find a way to incorporate you into this true story] happy hunting )

Chapter 4: all is fair in love and war

~~chapter 4~~

It has been two months since Pinkie came to our lives, regardless of what we have been telling Vinyl’s mother even when Bon Bon told her they had sex she did nothing other than yell at the DJ, it has been utterly useless, Vinyl was still going out with the devilish pink mare, Lyra has completely given up all hope to separate the two, Bon Bon not bothering to hangout with us due to her boxing, leaving me still in the lead trying, Apple jack was having sister problems with Rarity and Rarity moving to the other side of the country did not help out the situation at their house making them much too busy to even be with us; It was just me verses my best friend, Vinyl scratch.

I have been talking to Lyra when we go out on our nightly escapades, making sure not to be seen by the police, seeing as Lyra was underage and had a curfew, whether swimming in the pool at or shooting rockets and burning stuffed animals, or even just going to a local 24h pony-mart all in between the time of midnight to 5 am, we talked about the Pinkie situation.

“You know ‘Tavi, I have a feeling she still likes you.” Lyra puffed as she climbed up the roof of the ice cream parlor
“I get that feeling too, but I don’t want… LYRA!!! I have an idea!!!” squealing after I shouted making sure no police heard me while I was on the roof of the Parlor.“What if I go after Pinkie again, only this time, steal her from Vinyl, get some ‘action’ out of it and when she has no more feeling for scratch, I then drop her like a rock! It’s the perfect plan! Only problem is how will Vinyl take it?” I whispered

“Huh, that plan could work… isn’t pinkie a part of the orchestra like us? Vinyl isn’t you could invite her over to the camp we’re having and you could try to make it work, IF you have the skill or decency to do something like that. But then again it is Vinyl, my sister would be mad at you, but she’ll get over it.” Lyra said enthusiastically

“Well then! Let us go make some trouble for the very unlucky couple!” I said with an evil grin, playing one of my evil songs on my P-pod and as giddy as can be I skipped across the roof top in search of a place to climb down noticing the only way was a lamp post. “Lyra, you even play firepony before?” I said as I slid down the pole. Apparently Lyra being afraid of heights was scared of going down the roof top, facehoofing I had to sooth her from a distance so that she would come down, as soon as I broke Lyra, she slowly came down the pole. “See was that SO bad?” I said giggling “Now then we should get home so I can practice my skills on picking up emotionally unstable mares.” Brooding at the thought of me going out with Pinkie…

The next week went swimmingly; all the orchestra leaders hated Pinkie, saying that she was not good enough for our school, and that she should go back to her school. The leaders where super disrespectful of her, even though Pinkie actually knew more than my leaders, which gave me the perfect opportunity to defend her, and make her feel better, holding her when she was about to transform into Pinkamena, holding her hand, kissing her cheek, just all around hitting on her; she was eating it all up, believing in my act of affection. Up to the point where we started sexting every single night, even though she was still with Vinyl.

Two weeks have passed of s doing this, Enjoying my dark plan to the fullest, I then told Vinyl about our late night messages when Pinkamena was crying alone upstairs, making sure that I would have a chance to be alone with Pinkie

“Alright Octavia… do you like her?” she asked in monotone

“I still do Vinyl… I’m sorry… but hay, you are still my best friend, and want us to continue but I have a feeling she likes me as well.” I said sadly, trying to hide my excitement of the situation

“I want you to kiss her ‘Tavi, I need to know if she does like you, or if this is all just some misunderstanding.” The DJ said coldly

“Hold up… you want me… your best friend who is still in love with her, to kiss your fillyfriend?” I said in shock and disbelief.
“Yes, I need to know ‘Tavi…”

“Alrighty then…” I said rather awkwardly “I shall do it.” Turning around facing the stairs where Pinkamena was located at. I headed up the stairs with a grin so evil, even Discord would be scared. Just before I I went inside the room, I put on my game face, looked back nodded towards Vinyl which nodded in confirmation. Letting out a huge sigh at what I had gotten myself into. “Hey pinkie” I said compassionately as I sat next to her, holding her, feeling the warmth of her body radiating on to me, stroking her fluffy pink mane. She sat there crying. “Pinkie… what’s wrong?” purposely using a contraction in hopes she would cheer up. I held her face up making us face to face, I started stroking her face, being nervous that my plan would not work, my heart beat started rising, to the point where you could see it. Pinkie took this as another sign, and then… she kissed me, time slowed down… as we started making out, Pinkie’s tail started twitching, she parted the kiss, leaving me confused as to what was happening.

“Someponies coming up the stairs, quick! Hold my shoulder!” she whispered as she pretended to be in a state of despair while Vinyl and Lyra came up, Shocked at what just happened I whipped out my phone and texted Vinyl of what transpired just moments ago. Vinyl’s mouth Dropped, feeling betrayed, pulled me out of the room to start yelling at me. Pinkie followed us Lyra yelling abandon thread.

“Vinyl… ‘Tavi…” Pinkie said slowly “I love you both…” Vinyl and I aghast at the words we just heard, looking at each other like we had set off a nuclear bomb. To make matters worse Lyra started ‘ooooing’ and making other noises just to make things more awkward than they already were. Pinkie’s phone buzzed and said she had to be home in an hour, knowing she lived far away, the three of us jumped in the carriage and headed for Pinkie’s house, near her neighborhood she told us to stop the car, all of us getting into the trunk; She started making us hold her hand and told us to caress her, I instantly caught on to the fact she was testing on how affectionate we were being towards her,the song from my favorite band started running through my head, a song in which two best friends battled it out to see who could emerge the victor. Time running out, I went all out, no shame, regardless if she was my best friend’s fillyfriend, and Vinyl was right there, I was doing everything possible. Vinyl never being one of affection was totally bombing. Stroking her face, mane, everything possible to show that I was the better mare out of the two of us, as time reached the limit, Vinyl was the one who said let us stop, we need to take you home, leaving me and Pinkie in the back holding hoofs and snuggling.

When we galloped off, Vinyl’s expression was absolutely priceless, stricken in despair, I knew I was winning, especially when Pinkie said I was the more affectionate one, feeling confident in my newfound skills that I did not even know these powers existed, the DJ was quiet the entire trip back home, dropped me off, picked Lyra up, the cool exterior of the Blue maned white pony shattered as she whimpered something.

“’Tavi… I know you’re my best friend… but… I’m scared… I’m scared that she’s going to leave me…” I knew she was crying behind those red sunglasses of hers, I can only imagine how she was feeling… but I had to do what I had to do… I was taking one for the team, only I could do it…

The next few days were the most stressful days of everyponies life, except mine, I was beyond confident on who was going to win, every single ‘competition’ we had I would always win, kindness, loyalty, honesty, everything, I always won; even the miniscule battles. Eventually it lead to me making out with pinkie, touching her nether’s, the whole 9 yards, it was glorious, until one day Pinkamena decided to finally make a decision on who she was going to pick… saddened that she had to leave one of her loved ones behind, and make go out with the other, I was not worried in the least amount knowing the events that happened, Fluttershy, Pinkie’s Best friend even told her to choose me, I was a shoe in for sure, it also did not help Vinyl one bit that she was being really mean and lying to all of her friends, and Pinkie doesn’t like lying one bit. It also helped that if she had chosen vinyl, I would then pretend to mope around for the next few days pretending that I cared when in reality I did not care in slightest!

One day late at night, she told me… she had chosen Vinyl… I was not sure why, but I was hurt… I consulted with my therapist Twilight, and she asked me, if it was a blow to me ego or if I really did like the pink mare, I unsure of myself weather if I did truly like the graceful pink mare, loving… caring… beautiful in every which way… or it was a simple blow to my huge ego… I dismissed the thought of me actually loving her and went with my ego…

Finally I was under stress, all alone in the world of colt/filly friends, I felt all alone in the dark, I actually started to cry… shouting words from distant lands, punching the ground, throwing things… I was angrier than the incredible colt!

“REKKOUHA!!!” I shouted as I punched the ground. “BAKA-RA PINKIE-CHAN!!! ITTOU RYOUDAN GENMUREI!!! OH HOW I WISH I COULD DO THE SIN MESSENKOU ON VINYL RIGHT NOW!!! I HATE HER!!!!! BOTH OF THEM!!!”

As I gathered my thoughts, looking at my hoofs, shocked in awe, I realized… that I did love her… and I was NOT going to let Vinyl win, not now not ever! I went to sleep that night confident that I was going to get her in the end. The next few days began the stress all over again for I had stepped my game up so much I was kissing Pinkie right in front of Vinyl as she had done to me in the past. The question arose once again ‘who are you going to choose?’ I knew the answer this time… she had texted it to me right before Pinkamena started balling. She had chosen me… Vinyl unsure of what to do started ranting off
“it’s going to be ok Pinkie, it’s going to be ok…” Scratch repeated

“Vinyl… I’m sorry, but… I’m choosing her” she sobbed

“Vinyl…. I think it is best if you go now… I shall take care of her…” I said, head down, sniffling, and a tear coming down the white pony’s face… the DJ looking paler than she had ever been.

“well… good bye then…” the white mare sobbed as she wiped the tears from her sunglasses, her eyes bloodshot red, making it seem one color, glazed, trying to hold back the tears, failing miserably, I truly felt sorry for my best friend… it was her first real fillyfriend, the others she had never spent a single minute with the DJ, Vinyl had even proposed to Pinkie, thinking she was THE one, all the times they spent together… then I realized they had been going out for roughly 2 months… she needed this slap to face, she needed a good ol’ wake up call, this reality check would be perfect, so that Vinyl could learn the fact that not all things are true… just as Vinyl was entering the TIA, I called out to her.

“VINYL SCRATCH!!! WAIT!!!” I hugged her “Vinyl… I’m so sorry things turned out this way… but you knew I loved her… I-I…. I’m sorry…” I started sobbing thinking that I would lose my best friend… “Vinyl I know you must hate me right now but I’m still your best friend, and I still want to be there for you, please… don’t leave me Vinyl, are we still sis`s?” I said, wiping the tears out of my eyes; hoof extended waiting for a brohoof from Vinyl.

“We are Octavia, we are, and you were the better mare…” she said slowly, brohoofing me with a fake smile. “we are still best friends… we’ve gone through so much together, I don’t think we could ever stop being friends, thanks ‘Tavi… See ya…” the DJ said sadly.

(authors notes: well… that concludes chapter 4, if you’ve stuck around for the ride, wait ‘till the epic conclusion, where life is born, and death strikes, it’s probably the ONLY part of the tale that is interesting haha)

Chapter 2:Backstabs Shenanigans and more backstabs

~~Chapter 2~~

*beep beep!* “ugh... why did I have to sneak out so last night? Oh yea… I wanted to see pinkie” I said with a tired groan. “Its 5:30 am… got to get ready for the PAT’s… later today I’ll be able to hang out with the girls and with pinkie, but… right now… I have to get up…” I said as I slowly slithered out of bed, and did my normal routine; I got ready and headed toward the university, the glorious university that awaits me in the near future. At the facility, I ran into Rainbow dash, and Colgate. I was un-trusting of both of them… Rainbow dash saying she would go out and backstab should I go for the mare of my dreams, and Colgate of which was my Ex… they were the only two people I could communicate with so with that, I sucked it up and hung out with them. Long testing time, only 2 breaks, had no food and only a bottle of water… completely famished, and testing over I headed home, I then called up Vinyl and Lyra hoping they would be able to do something today and they wanted to hang out with me. Of course Rainbow dash tagged along with us, and my house was the last stop. I see Dash talking to the others wanting our conversation private… I see Lyra and Scratch just shrug and trotting away; Rarity had other ideas for she knew, my secret plan and started to make out with the Pinkie not more than 3 yards distance away from me… in a state of absolute shock Dash comes towards me…

“I told them Octavia, I told Rarity about your plan to steal pinkie from her. Pinkie knows as well…”

“WHAT THE BUCK, RAINBOW!!!!! HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!? I trusted you with that, and now look; she’s probably not going to go out with me because that ‘plan’ of mine is a real Dick move. “

“Yea… Pinkie said she’d probably not go out with you because of it, you’re welcome Octavia.” That moment out of all the death stares I’ve given… that was the worst one... Dash nervously laughing… gave me a tap on the shoulder, then flew off to perform a sonic rainboom, my icy cold stare adamant, following her until she quickly passed over the horizon, Rarity laughing her flank off, pinkie joining in. I felt horrible… small compared to the world… as if I had shrunk down to a fifth in size.

“Nice plan Octavia, Good luck trying it, not that you had any luck in succeeding in the first place. HAHAHAHA. You’ve really outdone yourself ‘Tavi.” I opened my mouth to defend myself only to be interrupted by Pinkie.

“hah good luck being with me, I’ll be your best friend, *gasp* you ARE my best friend, but you’re still in the friend Zone, no getting out of there, OOOOHHHH!! RARITY you know where else you can’t get out of? Quicksand!! That stuff’s impossible to get out! OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!!!! CHOCLATE MILK!!!! BESTIE!!! Can you get me some chocolate milk? I LIKE CHOCLATE MILK!!!!” In the preceding chaos… Vinyl and Lyra came to support me, holding back the tears… I quickly go inside my house along with all my friends, Rarity and Pinkie like shadows behind us...

A few days had passed after that event… With nonstop torture from everypony, reminding of how lonely I am, making sure I understand that I will never find a special somepony for me… making me seem like the ONLY one that would never find THE one… Rainbow dash not to be heard from again… Pinkie feeling kind of sorry for me, suggests that I meet up with a friend of hers… but then quickly decides its best otherwise for , I’m just a cunt that likes stealing fillyfriends from others… I manage to end up getting Pinkie into letting me meet up with her friend Fluttershy, she was a quiet pony, not as graceful as I thought, but definitely much more than that of pinky, Shy was pretty cool, she also like to play cello, and her favorite songs to play where also mine. Granted she never played but always loved to listen. She was pretty awesome, but she wasn’t the ‘prize’ that I had wanted…

Fluttershy even started to go out with Rarities younger sister Apple Jack* it seemed that everyone was getting a fillyfriend but me… Vinyl noticed how upset I was, and tried to help me get with pinkie, I made sure it was ok that she was helping me, and so not to like the same mare as my best friend, Vinyl said she had no emotional attractions to Pinkie, spirits up a little we tried to sever the horrible relationship that was of rarity and pinkie, Lyra joined in along with us just so she could get a chance to get back at Rarity for being mean to all of us, Bon Bon was siding with Rainbow Dash and was not to keen on what we were doing… but she let us be. I mean, even Pinkie likes to listen and play music, while rarity stuck to her clothes… we all got bored of her petty fashion designs, cloths and different needles and hoof guards. It had to end…
One day, after trying our hardest to separate the two, we felt that the relationship was corroding, me remembering how every single mare in the past, I have sought after, always chose a stallion or another mare that was always…. Douchier… always the one that would seem to use them only for sex, and not want to have an actual relationship, so… I sucked in my gut and decided to be that kind of pony.

“FOR PINKIE!!!!” I shouted in confidence, it was the day of ‘attack’ I’ve been practicing by going on 4hoof.NMN/mlh/ much more often than anypony should have, the day came, Vinyl was grounded and wasn’t able to be with us, it was also past 6pm so Bon Bon had to be home already, it was just Lyra and I, hanging out texting Pinkie, we tricked her into thinking that Lyra was Bon Bon, and managed to sever the relationship, just then pinkie started crying… and realized we were lying to her about one or more details… she said she hated me… Lyra and I dubbed Pinkie when she was like as Pinkamena Diane Pie, it was simple to manage, but it was still frustrating… in the midst of that night I realized she liked me and Vinyl…. Relived to hear that, I knew from the past Vinyl told me that she didn’t like Pinkie, knowing that information, I quickly relayed it over to Pinkamena… Vinyl wasn’t allowed to communicate with any of us, however we forgot what kind of personality the DJ had towards her parents… she was texting Pinkamena as well. In the end we realized that Vinyl had become blind with affection in the past 24hours and wanted to be with Pinkie, just as much as me… under the circumstances where Pinkamena was yelling over the phone

“I HATE YOU OCTAVIA, YOU TOO BON BON OR LYRA, I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANY MORE…ONE THING IS FOR SURE THOUGH…. I WILL NEVER GO OUT WITH YOU EVER OCTAVIA!!!” Lyra unharmed just shrugged off the hatred… I sank like a rock onto the cold stone floor, the fountains spraying me like it was pouring…

“I-I…” *sniffling* “Lyra… what have we done…?” I said in complete disbelief…

“We pissed her off!! YEA!!!” Lyra said in an accomplished tone, quickly picking up on my sadness “Hey ‘Tavi… you… you gonna be ok…?” she said picking me up from what felt like my eternal resting spot.

*sigh…* “yea… this happens to me a lot… I’ll be fine Lyra… I’m all wet… and its getting pretty late… you wanna just crash at my house Lyra?” she nodded, smirking, probably at the fact I used slang, right now I couldn’t care less…
Upon arriving at my house, walking distance from the shops, I received a text from pinkie…

“Why…? Why did you lie…?”

“because all the mares I go after like the ‘badponies’ over me, so I became what I despise the most, but do you see my reasoning” I responded fearing she would not transform into Pinkamena and go overboard about it, sure enough…. I was talking to Pinkamena…

“Still you lied to me about Vinyl! And she loves me a lot!! You know… if you didn’t lie… to me… I would’ve chosen you Octavia… goodbye…”

Heartbroken… a third time…no fourth… too many to count…. All by the same pink mare… I then realized my best friend…. Went out with the mare that I liked from day one… and she already loves her in 10 seconds flat… I felt betrayed by Vinyl… I texted Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle, seeing as Twilight was my therapist in these sorts of conundrums, and shy was Pinkies closest friend, Shy confused on the subject as what happened, and twilight had become angry with me for attempting to steal Rarities fillyfriend away from her, it was morally incorrect, but love makes us think irrationally, and makes you crave a person when you know you can’t have…

(Authors notes: *I KNOW AJ AND RARITY ARE NOT RELATED JUST BEAR WITH ME ON THIS… If the concept is too much for everyone to handle, I’ll change it, but trust me, it works out better this way oh and also another thing, the mane 6 might represent the elements of harmony but that is all, some may not have met at all, EX: pinkie and flutter, did not know Rainbow Dash, Twilight sparkle, Rarity and AJ, and infact Shy and pinkie STILL don’t know who twilight is, the others do, also more chapters to come, this is still only the beginning of it all)
