Chapter 3: Accent and Piano
Previous ChapterOh boy! Chapter 3! I made this for D3adfal1's post on Conversion Week. Enjoy!
I was walking home, one thing on my mind, 'What am I going to do?' Deep in thought about this question, I finally began thinking of other things. Now, where am I? I looked around and noticed the library was to my right. I guess I could go with reading a book. It could keep me occupied for a while. I changed my course and began to walk to the library. Wait, what time is it? I asked myself, looking at the big clock in town. 5 o'clock. Okay, it's not closed yet.
I walked into the library and saw that Twilight was the only pony there. As always she reading a book. She didn't seem to notice me, so I walked up to her and said, "Hey, Twilight."
She lifted her head from the book and said, "Hey Vibes, what can I do for you?"
"I just need a book on music," I said, a smile on my face.
Twilight smiled as well, "Sure, just a second." She then went upstairs.
It got quiet as there was nothing else in the room that was making noise but my breathing, {Atleast I have you guys, right?}
[<da DADADA DA DA DUH DA DA! CRASH! da->]
{Accent? Piano?}
[<Huh?>]
{Save the duets for later, ok?}
[Fine.] <Sure thing.>
{Anyways, what do you guys think of my problem here with Vinyl and Octavia?}
[Take them both?]
<Gross.>
{Agreed.}
[Don't knock it until you try it.] Accent then started to make pelvic thrusts in the air on his hind legs.
<Double gross... Wait, you mean that you->
Twilight came back and said with a smile, "Here you go Vibes."
I smiled too, "Thanks Twilight, can't wait to read it."
She beamed with pride, "Well, you enjoy it then, bye!"
"Bye!" I said, and with that, I walked out the door.
*Whew!* I can't wait to get home. That's enough random events for one day.
<You said it.>
{I did didn't I?}
I eventually made my way home. Took a little bit longer than usual, but at least I made it. I got ready and went to bed. I hope another day like that doesn't happen for a while.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Well, I knew this was going to be an annoying day. I woke up to this:
[Come ON Vibes, GET UP!]
<Jeez, you are a very heavy sleeper.>
Accent jumped up and hit my face, {Ow! What?! What do you want?!}
[There's somepony at the door.]
{[<...>]}
{I really hate you.}
[You mad?]
{Very,} I got up, put my shades on, and went to the door. I opened it and noticed nopony was there. I would've walked away if Piano hadn't said:
<Wait! What's that?>
I looked down to see a letter... with a heart? Damn, she must really want me. I picked it up and opened it. A simple piece of parchment lay inside. I unfolded it and read:
Dear Vibes,
Would you like to meet me at that new cafe that just opened by Sugar Cube Corner? I heard it's a really good place to eat! It's called 'Marebucks'. And how about 8 o'clock? Sound good? Hope to see in a bit!
Sincerely,
Vinyl Scratch
The letter was pretty short, but at least it told me where to go.
<What would be the point of a letter then?>
{True.}
I looked out the window to see the time on the big tower, 7:30. Good, just enough time to get ready and go.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Why did I just do that? Vinyl asked herself, still unsure of herself. I hope I can pull this off, because if I don't... No! I will pull this off! She assured herself, feeling confident. She walked home, getting ready to meet Vibes. Again.

25 minutes later...
Okay, I'm ready to go. I checked over myself and made sure. Just to double check. I walked out the door, heading towards Sugar Cube Corner, the place where 'Marebucks' was supposed to be next to. Soon I got there, but not before realizing Vinyl was by the door. She didn't seem to notice me. I walked up to her.
"Hey Vinyl," I said, a smile on my face.
She whipped her head around so fast, I swore I heard it crack. She blushed a bit immediately, "Oh hey Vibes, didn't see you there. Glad you could make it."
Hmm... seems she's gotten more comfortable around me, "No problem, I wasn't doing anything today anyway."
"Oh, well, how about we get a table?"
"Sounds like a plan."
We walked over to a table and sat down. Let the conversing commence.
"So, what's new Vinyl?" I said, smirking.
She began to smirk too, but nervously. "Nothing much. How about you?"
"Just somethings at practice. It was going pretty well until Octavia broke some news to me."
"Really? what did she say?"
"Oh nothing much, just that she has feelings for me-"
"Whoa whoa whoa, wait a second. She l-likes you?" Vinyl said, blushing furiously.
<She cracked.>
{Yup.}
"Well yes, is there a problem with that?"
"Well kind of..." Her voice trailed off.
"By all means, tell me then."
<Why are you doing this to her?>
{I want to make sure it's true.}
"Well if you haven't noticed... I kind of like you too..."
{There we go.}
<Still, you had a lot of proof that she likes but you still had to make her tell you?>
{...Yes.}
<Evil, very evil stallion, you are.>
I chuckled, "I know that part. And I'm still trying to decide what to do. If I choose one of you over the other, the other will be depressed. That's as far as I've gotten."
Vinyl said quietly, "You're so considerate..."
I chuckled, "What was that?"
Vinyl then noticed that I could hear things, "Oh! N-nothing..."
Soon the waiter came, "Have you two decided on anything?"
"I'll just have a coffee." I said smiling.
"A daisy sandwich for me." Vinyl said, clearing her mind.
She's definitely getting better at this.
The waiter nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll be back in a few minutes with your food."
Well, the next chapter I do is going to be on this little talk we have going here. Conversion week is still going on, so get to recording guys!
And yes, I do have some consciences. If you haven't noticed, the calmer one is Piano and the more ecstatic one is Accent. Just sayin'.
