- >You make your way down the ponyville streets
- >Twilights Library stood in the distance
- >A few knocks before Spike opened the door
- >"Oh hey there Anon! What's up?"
- "Nothing much, Twilight's inside right?"
- >"Sure is! Come on in."
- >Spike moves out of your way
- >You waste no time going through the books on the shelves as Twilight comes out of the backroom
- >"Anon! What're you doing here?"
- >She walks over to your side as you sort through books
- >Though she might be a librarian there's no catagory tags
- "Looking for something for advice."
- >"What kind of advice?"
- >You've moved along the shelves and found the books on life advice
- >Just perfect
- "You remember Octavia right?"
- >Spike answers from across the room
- >"Oh yeah, the cello pony right?"
- "Right, well she and my new friend Vinyl have some past."
- >Twilight begins floating books around
- "I don't like my friends to fight amongst each other, so that's why I'm here."
- >A red leather bound book lands in your hand
- >In black lettering it says 'Helping fighting friends'
- >"Would that help Anon?"
- >You begin the flip through the pages for ideas
- >Talking and what not keep coming up
- >Not much variance in help
- "It's good, but I don't think they want to talk to each other."
- >Twilight rubs her chin
- >"Maybe they would talk with you around?"
- "I wasn't planning on letting them talk alone Twi."
- >"Then you should try getting them together in public, like at a resturant or something."
- >You think about bringing them both to a resturant
- >Since they're both known through Equestria as great musicians they wouldn't normally be quiet
- >If you could figure out why they don't like each other
- "Right, thanks for the idea Twi."
- >"Say Anon, where did you meet Vinyl?"
- "Huh?"
- >That's weird, didn't you tell Twi where you were going?
- >Yeah, pretty sure you did
- "I meet her when I went to Fillydelphia, she wanted to visit Ponyville for a while so she's staying at my house."
- >Twi nods and says,
- >"RIght, you better get going then. You can return that book whenever you like."
- >You smile at her and open the door
- "Thanks a ton Twi."
- >She shoos you out the library and lightly closed the door behind you
- >First stop, you decide to reserve a table for three at Ponyvilles best resturant
- >Off to Candlelit Coltcago
- -------------------------------------
- >You are Vinyl
- >There was a phone in Anon's house
- >You've punched in the numbers and can hear the dial-tone
- >one ring....two rings....three rings....
- >Click
- >"Hello?"
- "Hi Mom."
- >"Oh Vinyl! I didn't recognize the number, where are you?"
- "I'm staying with a friend at Ponyville."
- >"A friend you say? Well it doesn't matter, whats my little wubby need?"
- >A blush comes over your cheeks
- "Um, I really like him, but..."
- >"But what?"
- "I dont know if...he really likes me...that way."
- >There's silence on the other line for a while
- >"Well Vinyl, all I can say is Stallions like upfront mares."
- >You kick a hoof on the ground
- "Well Mom...he's not really a stallion."
- >"Not a stallion? Don't tell me you're trying to date a gryphon or something like that."
- "N-no Mom, he's a...human..."
- >"Human? I've never heard of that."
- "He's the only human in Equestria, Celestia's student summoned him here by accident."
- >"That explains a lot..."
- >Silence on the other end again
- >"Well, all you can do is confess to him and hope he shares your feelings. If not, you can both still be great friends."
- "That's what they all say..."
- >"Oh come on Vinyl, you're a cute enough mare anypony would fall in love with you."
- >Another blush across your cheeks
- "Alright, thanks mom."
- >"Good luck sweetie."
- >You hang up the phone and sit on the couch
- >Thinking of a good way to tell Anon you like him
- >There was no way you would just blurt it out at him though
- >No, there was a way to do it
- >Somehow...
- -----------------------------------
- >You are Octavia
- >Berry Punch is standing before you
- >Thank Celestia for that favor she owed you
- >"Alright Tavi, I got what you asked for."
- >She hands you an unlabeled purple bottle
- >"It won't last long, maybe 20 minutes at best."
- "That's alright Berry, I only need 20 minutes."
- >You smirk at the plan you've formed
- >Just a little drink of this will have Anon and Vinyl fighting so bad
- >She'd probably never want to see him again
- >Making him all yours
- >"This makes us even then Tavi?"
- >You nod
- "Yeah, after this I'll be able to live a happy life."
- >You feel all giddy inside at the thought of Anon cuddling you at night
- >His hands over your body, his breath on your mane
- >The thought was almost unbearable
- >"Hey Octavia!"
- >You quickly put the bottle in your saddlebag and turn around
- >Anon is coming to you
- >There's an urge to run into his arms
- >"Hey, I was wondering if you'd like to come to dinner with me tonight."
- >Your heart just skipped a few beats
- "You mean, just the two of us?"
- >Please say yes, please say yes
- >"Well, no. I was hoping you, me, and Vinyl could go."
- >You feel your eye twitch at the thought of going with Anon and Her
- >But this was the perfect oportunity to finish their relationship
- "Sure, I would love to!"
- >He smiles at you and says to meet him at the Candlelit Coltcago
- >When he's out of earshot you turn to Berry
- "Don't you work there?"
- >She looks at the ground
- >"Yeah."
- >Perfect
- -------------------------------------
- >You are Anon
- >You told Octavia about the dinner and she accepted
- >Now all you had to do was tell Vinyl
- >A bad idea
- >Shut up brain
- >You unlock the door and find Vinyl watching TV
- "Hey."
- >She turns over to look at you
- >Her glasses are off and you can see her beautiful magenta eyes
- >So cute
- >"Hey Anon, did you have plans for tonight?"
- "Yeah, I was wondering if you'd like to go to dinner with me and Octavia."
- >Her ears droop a bit at the mention of Octavia's name
- >But she keeps up her smile
- >"Sure, but, how do you know Octavia?"
- >You sit down on the couch next to her
- "When I went traveling to Canterlot with Twilight I saw her playing her cello.
- She's a great cellist, but I didn't really care for her. She seemed a bit snoody.
- Then Twilight asked if I could play an instrument, so I played one of the songs
- from my world on the Piano. Everybody took intrest in me, especially Octavia."
- >You go on to recount how the two of you spent some time talking about music and whatnot
- >A few days later you left Canterlot with Twilight and never saw Octavia again
- >Vinyl seemed happy to hear your story
- >It was going to be another hour before you had to go to Candlelit
- >So the two of you watched TV in silence, except for the occasional laughter
