The Wonderbolt and the Music Mares

Chapter 2: Former Lovers

The party is going nicely.  Soarin just got to know almost everypony like Rarity, Applejack, Caramel, Fluttershy, Blue Noteworthy Pokey Pierce and Big Mac.  Later he finds himself talking to Rainbow Dash

"So Soarin, what brings you here to Ponyville?"

"Well," said Soarin "I'm here to see a friend I met some time ago and she is here visiting her sister."

"So you are here to see Octavia."

"Yeah why?"

"No reason." she then sees Mac waving to her and she says "I better go, Mac wants me for something."

"Ok." said Soarin

So he then went off to find Octavia and when he finds her, he walked up to them and says "Hi there, how are things?"

Octavia turned to him and says "Fine, me and my sister are just talking about something."

"Like what?"

"Well, I just want to know how you two know each other?"

Soarin then gets a surprised look and says with a bit of stuttering "Well, you see.."

Lucky for him Vinyl says "If you must know Octy, we dated some time ago."

All of a sudden, the music stopped and everypony looked towards them and nothing could be heard until Scratch says "What?  We met in Manehatten and we went out for a short time, so what."

"What do you mean so what?" said Octavia with a bit of anger "You went out with a colt and you didn't tell me about it."

"Hey there no need to get angry, besides that was a long time ago."

"I just can't believe that you dated a colt."

"So what, I can go out with anycolt I want to." said Vinyl with a bit of anger

"But you never told me or our parents about him."

"You want to go there now, fine they probably won't accept him anyways."

"How do you know, they might've."

"That is only for you they won't mind anycolt that comes thtough the door but everytime I bring a colt even if he was to there standards they won't accept him, because you were always miss perfect while they did not accept my choices or even respect them."

"But they would've been proud."

"Of what!  You may know them as perfect parents but for me they were control freaks."

There was silence between the two mares and Soarin thought "What happened between theses two?"

Then Octavia leaves the place and there was more silence until Soarin decided to follow her.  Unknown to someponies is that underneath Vinyl's shades is that there are tears coming out of her eyes.

(**)

So he went outside and look around until he finds her sitting on a bridge.  He then went up to her and sees that she is crying and he says "Hey Octavia, do you want to talk?"

Octavia then wipes away her tears and says "Sure Soarin, I feel like I need somepony to talk to."

So then he sat down beside her and he then puts a hoof around on her shoulders and she seems to not mind it at all.  They then sat there for about an hour until Soarin says "So what happen between you and Vinyl?"

"Well, me and her were always close until the day she got back from Band Camp during the summer."

"So, what happen a few hours ago you two were good friends but now you were yelling at each other when you started talking about your parents."

Octavia then takes a deep breath and says "Well, you better sit back this is a long one."

Six years ago

Octavia was in her room praticing on her cello when the door opens and then a voice said "Welcome home miss Scratch, how was the trip?"

"Fine Jeeves, where were mom and dad I thought they were picking me up?"

"Sorry miss, but they were at a concert and won't be back until later this evening."

Octavia then hears nothing until Scratch said "Is Octavia still here though?"

"Yes miss, she is in her room."

So then Octavia hears hoofsteps and her door opens and atanding there is her sister and she said "Hi Vinyl."

"Hey Octy, so whats up?"

"Nothing much."

"Hey, do you want to do something?"

"Your not going to tell me what you did there?"

"Other then I got my cutie mark, not much happened."

Octavia gets a surprised look and said "You got your cutie mark, what is it and how did you get it?"

"Hold on," she then turns and Octavia can not believe what she is seeing, there on Vinyls flank is two musical notes.  She then said "That is wonderful."

But then Scratch gets a sad look and said "Yeah, to bad mom and dad weren't here."

Octavia then went up to her and hugs her and said "Hey there, I'm happy for you."

So both of them sat there talking when they hear the door open and hear voices until a female voice cried out "Vinyl Scratch, come down here."

So then Vinyl went down stairs and a few minutes later Octavia hears them talking.

"Vinyl, how was camp?"

"Fine, just why didn't you pick me up?  You promised to pick me up."

Then a males voice is heard "Sweetie, we were busy with some buisness."

"Some buisness, you went to a concert.  As usual you and mom always come up with some type of lie."

Then all of a sudden the voices got louder "Vinyl Harmony Scratch!  You will not say such things to us."

"Why?  All you two care about is Miss perfect Octavia and not about me."

All of a sudden, Octavia heard what sounded like somepony was slapped.  Then some crying and Vinyl said loudly "Some parents you are."  Then hoofsteps were heard and then doors slaming and Octavia went out of her room and sees her butler and said "What happened?"

"Seems as if Vinyl and your parents had another argument, but it was the first time that they hurt her."

"What!  They slapped her, but why?"

The butler just shrug and Octavia went to her sisters room and when she opens it, what she sees surpised her.  The bed was emptied and the window was opened and bedsheets were used to make a rope ladder and Octavia knew that her sister ran away.

Present

After Soarin heard this, he says "Wow, and how did you and Scratch see each other again?"

"Well, you remember the wedding of the captain of the guard?"

"Yeah I remember, and she did the music there if I remember."

"Well, when I heard she was there I decided to go see her and when she saw me we were both happy to see each other again.  And both of us rekindled our sisterhood then and there."

"That sounds great."

Octavia then takes a deep breath and says "But when I try to bring up our parents she gets angry about it so I try and not to talk about them."

Soarin then pulls her in closer and rubs his hoof through her mane and says "What happened to them anyways?"

"After Vinyl ran away, father was sad about the whole thing and tried to find her but mom," she then leans her head onto his shoulder and said "Seems like she didn't care at all and dad died some time after that from what I could describe as a broken heart."

Soarin could not believe what he heard.  There parents were not good examples from the way she describe it and it seems like there father tried his best to find Vinyl and make them a family again.  But her mother is a different story, she did nothing about it at all.  He then says "Well the best thing to do now is to go apologize to her and I'm sure she would forgive you."

Octavia then gets up onto her hoof and says "Yes Soarin, I will go apologize to her, thank you."

She then leans in and kisses Soarin on the lips and walked away.  While Soarins wings pooped out and his face turns a bright red and he thinks "I think she likes me."
