To Love A Cellist
Chapter 1
Load Full StoryNext ChapterVinyl woke up, surprised by the lack of a hangover, she was still settling into her new life with her marefriend, Octavia Philharmonica.
The blossoming relationship between the "most magically musical pair in all of Equestria," as Vinyl's friend and former roommate, Berry Punch, liked to tease them, had escalated quickly. In only a few short months, Octavia had successfully helped her lover drop her various addictions to alcohol and illegal drugs, convinced Vinyl to move in with her at Canterlot, leaving her flat with Berry Punch and all the bad she had encountered in Ponyville, despite it being the nicest little town ever, and was able to get Vinyl to make peace with her sister, a certain, well-known, sky blue coated, and rainbow-maned Pegasus. Vinyl noticed that with all the stresses of moving, she had forgotten to properly thank Octavia for all she had done for her. Vinyl really loved this gray, dark haired cellist, like, REALLY loved her, granted their first meeting wasn't technically romantic, Vinyl found it so entertaining. The way Octavia reacted when she woke up that blurred morning to find her (at the time) new friend, whom she had met only a few hours beforehand, asleep between her legs, on her most personal area. Vinyl really got a laugh at the scream that woke her that fateful morning, not so much the chin slammed hard into her forehead.
Vinyl shot a glance at the alarm clock, 7:00 a.m. sharp. Although she was used to waking up at 2 or 3 in the afternoon, she had taken a recent doctoral leave due to a fairly bad cold she caught from somepony who coughed a little too close for comfort.
Vinyl took a moment to be thankful that the newly found human-pony relationship had grown to a point where it wasn't uncommon to see humans and ponies walking the streets of Equestria, or the strange alien planet it appeared on after the newly crowned Princess Twilight's spell went a little askew, Earth, together in pairs or larger groups. Vinyl was especially thankful for the trade and training the humans gave, technology.
This new golden/industrial age of Equestria was certainly plenty of inspiration for Vinyl's music, formerly called 'wub' on Equestria (when it was still JUST Equestria) she met some human DJs with strange names that told her their name for the electronic, bass-induced, seductive tones, 'Dub-step' she thought, 'huh, I think I want to collaborate with that one guy with the big mask, Deadmouse? No, no, no, deadmau5? Yeah, that sounds right, I bet he'd love my new scratches,'
With her lost in her thoughts, she hadn't even noticed that her bed partner had risen from her graceful looking slumber.
"Good morning, love." Octavia said with a yawn, "You know what time it is?" she said with a smile, seeing her marefriend sitting at the edge of their bed. Vinyl suddenly snapped from her wandering thoughts, seemingly confused.
"Wh... Huh?" Vinyl spat out, kind of absently.
"I said, do you know what time it is?"
Vinyl searched her thoughts, "Umm, 7 o' clock?" she finally guessed.
Octavia looked at her disappointedly, "Well, I was hoping you'd remember it's the seventh anniversary, down to the very minute, I might add, that you and I decided we'd give this whole dating thing a try." she said with a slight pout.
Vinyl had realized why she had the initial thought of their first meeting and quickly reacted to try and repair the situation while there was a chance, "Tavi, babe, of course I remember! I was simply trying to decide on some special surprise to give you, I'm sorry." looking apologetic, the DJ pony thought to herself, 'Smooth Scratch, smooth.'
Octavia's expression changed from one of cute, playful anger to one of a softer emotion, she quickly grabbed her marefriend and gave her a tight squeeze, almost taking the DJ's balance, and buried her face in the electric blue mane of her lover and said, "Baby, I was just teasing, you know I don't mind a little forgetfulness, I mean it's not even that important, I love you,"
Vinyl returned the kiss before telling her marefriend, "I love you too, Tavi." Vinyl had a thought, "Hey, Tavi, how about I make you a nice romantic breakfast-in-bed?"
"Well Vinyl! That sounds wonderful babe! Thank you!" Octavia didn't mean to put so much enthusiasm into her reply.
"Great! It's settled then, you just sit here and relax, and I'll be back before you know it!" The excited DJ trotted out the door, shutting it gingerly with her unicorn magic. Octavia thought now would be a good time to pretty herself up for her loving marefriend, so she trotted over to her closet to find a cute little outfit to wear for the day, settling on her usual bowtie.
Just below, on the first floor of Octavia's large, luxurious, three story house, Vinyl Scratch was busy as Tartarus trying to prepare the perfect morning meal for her lover, getting acquainted with the large house was easily the hardest part of the move for her, she thought to herself, 'Damn, Tavi, how in the hay do you know where everything is!?'
Octavia had gone through her usual morning routine, showering, brushing her teeth, and brushing her mane before retreating back to her bed, she could hear hoofsteps leading up her staircase and eagerly awaited her meal, when Scratch opened the door with her unicorn magic, a scent hit Octavia that would drive anypony mad with desire, the smell of eggs, tofu bacon (an import from the human world) and pancakes nearly overtook Octavia, as she had a slight soft spot for deliciously prepared food. Scratch sauntered in with a confident look on her face,
"Octavia Philharmonica, I do believe that this meal may very well be the best you ever had, what with all the work I put into it." The DJ pony said with a slight chuckle at the end.
"Well Scratch, it simply smells delectable!" The prissy pony said with maybe a little too much enthusiasm in her voice, yet again, "Ahem, pardon me." she said, the two mares shared a laugh.
` Vinyl laid the tasty looking spread out for her and her mare to share, "Shall we?" the DJ pony said, "subtly" mocking Octavia's high-and-mighty Canterlot voice. "We shall," Octavia said as she glared at the white mare.
"Then let's dig in!!" Vinyl said before shoveling a mouthful of pancake into her mouth.
