The Club

After that first meeting with Octavia's parents, they went over a lot. Vinyl enjoyed every minute of it. It made her feel loved.

When they had returned home from Octavia's parents one day, Octavia couldn't be happier. She was happy that she could openly be with Vinyl. But, when they got to Vinyl's apartment, Vinyl noticed a letter sitting in front of the door. Vinyl picked it up and opened it. Her eyes grew wide with shock and her body froze, her magic ceasing, the letter falling to the floor.

"Vinyl? what's wrong?" Octavia asked. She looked down and saw the letter.

"Did somepony send you something?" she asked as she picked it up.

Dear Vinyl,

I've wanted to see you, I heard about how successful you were. I want you to come home.

- Sindra

Octavia placed the letter down.

"Vinyl, this is a good thing. This means you can reconcile with your parents." she said smiling.

Vinyl un-froze as she spoke.

"H-How? How did they know where I was? And how did they know about my job!" she said frantically, wondering how this had happened. Vinyl looked up at Octavia, and noticed that Octavia looked nervous.

"Y-You found them didn't you!?!" Vinyl accused.

"I-I did, I wanted to try to get your parents to apologize for what they put you through. They said they missed you and that they wanted to see you. So I-I g-gave them your address." Octavia explained as tears came to Vinyl's eyes.

"Get out." Vinyl said.

"Vinyl what-" Octavia asked as she was cut off.

"GET OUT!" she yelled, tears coming from her eyes. Octavia started crying as she ran from the apartment.

Vinyl sat there and cried as she watched her go.

She had no right to tell them my address. Why, why do they have to want me now. they never loved me.

Vinyl just cried.

Octavia ran and ran. She couldn't stop crying. Vinyl had yelled at her, had pushed her away, just because she wanted to help. She felt cold as she ran into her apartment and lied down on her bed and cried.

I'm sorry Vinyl. I'm so sorry. she cried silently.

Two Days Later

Vinyl trotted down the old street she had lived on as a filly. She couldn't believe she was even returning here.

She trotted up to the old familiar door and slammed a hoof against the door and waited. The door opened and Sindra was standing there looking at her daughter.

"I've missed you Vinyl." she said, inviting her daughter into the house.

When Vinyl entered, she noticed two things. One, her father wasn't there, and Two, Octavia was sitting on the couch, looking down at the floor, obviously avoiding eye contact with Vinyl.

"Octavia? Why are you here?" she asked. Octavia noticed there was no sign of anger in her voice, what she did here was sadness and longing.

"I invited her here. She told me about what had happened when you received my letter." Sindra replied.

"Tavi, I-I'm sorry. I overreacted, I'm so sorry." She said.

"I missed you Vinyl." Sindra said when Octavia continued to not speak.

Vinyl turned to her mother and spoke.

"So where's Dad?" Vinyl asked, with an obvious tone of hate in her voice.

"He said he didn't want anything to do with you, he is staying in our summer home." Sindra replied.

"Of course, how could I forget that bastard." Vinyl replied. "Couldn't even stay to hit me, just like old times."

"Vinyl please, don't." Octavia finally said. "Your mom wanted to see you. She explained to me everything that happened, and the reason why she never stopped your father from hitting you. He was threatening her with beatings if she tried." Octavia explained.

Vinyl looked up at Sindra tears in her eyes.

"Is that true?" she asked.

"Yes, I was afraid of your father, he would threaten to hit me if I tried to stop him from hurting you. He thought he could beat some sense into you. I hated it." Sindra cried.

"I-I'm sorry." Vinyl replied, hugging her mom. "Seeing how happy, Tavi was with her parents, it made me wish i had been loved by you and Dad, But I never knew that you had loved me, i thought that you had just watched because you didn't care."

"I've always cared, and I know for a fact, that I'm not the only one who care's." Sindra said motioning to Octavia.

Vinyl sat down next to her and hugged her tightly.

"I'm so sorry Tavi, I'll never let it happen again. I love yo-" Vinyl said as she was cut off by a long passionate kiss.

"I love you too Vinyl." she said smiling, knowing that she could be with her love again.

Vinyl smiled back at her and then looked up at her mom.

"Hey, mom? You should really meet Octavia's parents." Vinyl laughed.

When they had finished catching up on what Vinyl had been up to, and what her mother had been up to, Vinyl left with Octavia, and while on their way, Vinyl had an idea.

"Hey Tavi?" she said.

"Hmm?" Octavia replied.

"You should move in with me!!!" she exclaimed. Octavia was a bit taken back, but she readily said ok.

When they returned to Vinyl's apartment. Vinyl trotted in, and was tackled by Octavia. They wrestled until Octavia managed to pin Vinyl down and kissed her passionately.

"I love you Vinyl, but you seriously need a shower." Octavia said, laughing.

Vinyl leaned down and sniffed herself, making her face scrunch up at her own body odor.

"Ugh, I think you're right, But I'm not the only one." she said smiling slyly, as she pulled Octavia into the bathroom, and into the shower.

When they had finished "Cleaning" each other, Vinyl trotted with Octavia to her concert. But what she didn't know was that Octavia had set up a duel concert, they would be playing a song that she had come up with, and it would require Vinyl's DJing skills.

When she trotted up to the theater, she watched as Vinyl's face lit up when she saw her name on the performance poster.

Once they were set up, they began to play Octavia's song. Vinyl and Octavia couldn't be happier.
