Lyra had just arrived back at her house in Ponyville, she had a hard day of working, on top of making sure her best friend, Bon Bon was okay, she had to make sure everything was going according to plan, this was to be kept a secret from Bon Bon, and she tried so hard to keep it that way, At least, until the moment was right.

 

"I'm exhausted..." Lyra says as she slams down on the bed to hopefully go to sleep.

Bon Bon had been flicking through the channels looking for something to fritter the rest of the boring day away watching, but having little success.

 

'I think I'll go visit Lyra,' she decided. With that, she flicked off the TV, and went to Lyra's house.

 

She knocked the door.

It was a rather calm day for a cellist pony, as there was only a light breeze. Lifting her ears, Octavia smiled, not hearing the wobs of Vinyl.. Maybe she had finally decided to turn the volume down for once. That would be a new feet for her friend.

taking her instrument to the deck of her house, she sat on a chair and peopled up a sheet of music on the stand. Then, grabbing her bow, she began to play one of Beethoven's works.

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. Pinkie Pie was gathering a nice picnic lunch to eat with her good friends. She had everything you need for a typical lunch prepared by Pinkie: cupcakes, cookies, and some pie with extra frosting. She knew this was gonna be the best picnic ever once she saw her friends with smiles on their faces.

[Cloud Strife 928]

A calm day meant a day in which Rainbow Dash would spend simply lazing around, drifting on clouds. The cyan pegasus did spend some hours of the day working on her tricks, but right now she was tired and she would rather nap. She did distinctly recall that she'd promised her friends that she'd be on some sort of picnic, but surely that wouldn't be right now, right? She could squeeze in some time to allow herself a rest - and quite frankly, a pony as awesome as herself deserved some R and R. She curled her hooves around the edge of the cloud, resting her chin on top of the fluffy tendrils of it, when she spotted out of the corner of her eye a certain light colored earth pony. She kept one eye closed, shifting her weight so that she could get better leverage for her line of vision, and waited silently as the pony came into view.

 

@@Rainbow Eclipse, 

 

She'd seen her around before. Pom Pom, right? Something like that. Rainbow squinted her rose-colored eyes, then sighed and brushed her mane out of her face so that she could rest it upon the cloud fluff again. Wasn't worth the effort investigating into what she was doing; besides, she hardly knew the pony, anyway. What was it any of her business? Yes, she knew about some rumors about fillyfoolers or something, but why would she care about that? What other ponies did with other ponies was their business and their business alone. It shouldn't, and it didn't, matter to her. She let out an exaggerated yawn as her eyes closed, her tail twitching as her shoulders stretched. Yes, it didn't matter at all...

   Vinyl emerged from the dark recess' of her room carrying several record disks and a portable DJ booth in her light blue magic aura. All day she had been cooped up in there putting on some serious beats and putting together a couple new custom records; she still bobed her head to some unheard beat as she entered the simple common room. Thats when the unicorn heard cello music coming out of the open door to the deck, 'Ugh not that stuff' she though, folding her ears back. 

 

     Setting her stuff down on a small table she trotted outside behind Tavi, she seemed too preoccupied with what she was doing to notice Vinyl. "Ahem" she blurted out loud to get the earth pony's attention, "Hey Tavi Im going out to the park now to play some tunes in the park, I'll see ya later" the mare turned to leave, stopping only a moment to look back at her, "Try not to make somepony's ears bleed with that music ok." Vinyl stuck her tongue out, she poked fun of the other mares music choice but it was all in good fun. Grabbing her stuff she left the house to get to the park.

 

      On her usual trek to the park on the other side of town Vinyl passed her friend Bon Bon, "Hey Bon, I'll be seeing you at my show next week right?" she asked with a toothy grin. Not waiting for an answer she moves on her way to the park.

At the Carousel Boutique, Rarity lifted  a pencil with her magic and began to draw on her sketch pad. She chewed her lip as she began to carefully draw a series of lines. She became very focused. She was 'in the zone'. An outline of a dress began to emerge on her paper: a high collar, lacy sleeves, a long skirt... and then suddenly a pause.

 

Rarity backed away from the easel as she studied her latest creation.

 

 

And suddenly she exclaimed "Ugh!"

 

The sudden noise in the quiet awoke Opal, who had been relaxing in a sun-beam. She glanced over at the pony who served her food regularly.

 

Rarity's magic caused her sketch to implode and be crushed into a paper ball, which she sent flying to the waste paper can that was near to overflowing other, similar paper balls.

 

 

Rarity cried aloud to no one in particular, "That was dreadful, simply dreadful."

 

Opal laid her head back down, and began twitching her tail in annoyance at the interruption.

 

Rarity continued her monologue, "Rarity, you are a designer. One of the best designers in fact. This is simply unacceptable. You have  lost your gift. This is the end. You might as well close down the boutique. A designer who makes such abominations simply has no right to call herself a designer." Rarity lowered her head and a single tear began to roll down her muzzle.

 

 

Then she glanced at the clock. "Oh it is nearly time for lunch. I think I will treat myself. I deserve it."

 

And so Rarity trotted out the door humming a tune as if her previous melancholy had simply never occurred.

"Spike? Spike!? Where are you?" *Twilight called throughout her newly grown castle. It'd been a little weird for her to get used to having a castle to pretty much herself, minus the visitors to the library.* "I swear this Dragon is hard to find." *She muttered to herself, going down to the library to look if he had been there. After awhile of searching, she found her assistant behind the bookshelves, on a pile of books, with a gem in his mouth, asleep. She rolled her eyes and smiled at the sight and nudged him with her muzzle.* "Spike, wake up. We have stuff to do today." *She whispered, as the baby dragon began to stir. When he had finally woken up, Twilight grabbed him with her magic and threw him on her back and headed out to town to start her day.*

Pinkie Pie arrived at the picnic place and started setting up the picnic. She bounced around setting the picnic mat up, and putting the delicious food she perfected all by herself at Sugarcube Corner. She was giggling the whole time well doing this. She couldn't wait for her friends to get there.

Lyra was just about to close her eyes when she heard a knocking at the door. "Ugh, who in the wide world of Equestria could be bothering me at such a time?" Lyra says, a little aggravated. Either way, she got up and walked downstairs to answer the door. When she saw the white mare standing there she had to do a double glance just to be certain.

 

'Oh, it's just you, Bon Bon." She says casually. "I guess I can always make an exception for you. Since I was trying to take a nap and all..." She says.

 

"Anyway, come on in." Lyra signals with her hoof.

 

 

Moonlit was walking around Ponyville, nothing particuarly interesting happening today.

"I wish I had someone to talk too..." He muttered.

"Sure." Bon Bon entered the house through Lyra's door, a vital requirement for entering buildings unless you're burgling.

 

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," she said. "I only realised how little I have to do tonight, so I figured: why not see how my good friend is doing?"

 

She smiled.

After a while of catching distant murmurings of other ponies and trying not to care about what they were saying, Rainbow Dash finally managed to drift asleep. Her napping was dreamless; she was just coated in blackness for what seemed like hours before she managed to awaken again, her ears, which had fallen, starting to stand up on top of her head again. The Pegasus pony brought out a hoof and checked her "wrist"-

 

Oh. Well, shoot.

 

"Oh, gosh. I'm late!"

 

Good thing she was the fastest flyer in all of Equestria! Rainbow sat up on her cloud, taking only a brief moment to stretch before she jumped up into the air and beat her wings fast, then rocketed down toward the ground only to turn suddenly as she flew, leaving a rainbow streak tailing behind her.

 

@@Rainbow Eclipse, @@Shadowking58,

 

Along the way, she passed right by where Bon Bon and Lyra were, the current of air flowing around her violently knocking their door closed. "Sorry!" she bellowed behind her as she passed, but didn't stop to look at the damage she'd caused, instead shooting for the park where she knew Pinkie Pie to be - and likely waiting for her and all of the rest of their little group. Knowing Twilight's tidiness, surely she'd been there before the rest of all of them. How was she supposed to explain this to the other ponies without sounding like an insensitive jerk? She strained against the wind whipping against her fur and stretching her muscles, her teeth gnashing, before finally she managed to sweep right by the mat Pinkie Pie set up.

 

@, 

 

At this, she slowed, digging her hooves into the ground in order to slow her momentum, but as bookworm Twilight would likely tell her if she was here, the rest of her body would still be in motion even if her hooves weren't, which made her trip over herself, torso coming over her hooves and past them and sending her into a roll, which only managed to stop several feet away from where she'd initially 'landed'. "Oof!" Dirt flew up in the aftermath and some of it got in her mouth, making Rainbow spit in disgust as soon as she managed to straighten her shaking legs. She shook off her body, every part of her aching from her less than graceful crash, and she lowered her ears at the sheer disgrace of it. She knew Pinkie Pie of all ponies wouldn't care, but for Rainbow her pride was pretty badly wounded.

 

That shame, of course, evaporated and replaced quickly with guilt as she remembered how late she was, and the rainbow-maned Pegasus quickly turned to her Earth Pony pal, frowning apologetically. "Sorry I'm late, Pinkie! I, uh..." She tilted her head. "I was... I was feeding Tank! Yeah!" Rainbow wasn't the best liar under pressure.

Pinkie Pie saw Rainbow Dash arrive in a funny way and just giggled. She got this happy giggly feeling whenever she saw her friends. For he friends were the the thing that made her happy the most. "Oh don't worry Dashie, you're right on time. The others hadn't even gotten here yet."

"Vinyl!" She yelled when the mare interrupted her work. The DJ never did like classic, but at lease,she could respect her enough to not barge in without her knowing. Hearing what the mare had to say, she rolled her eyes. "Go ahead and play your... Music..." She said, waving her off. The insults were always a bit of a pet peeve, but she had learned to usually take it. However... Every so often, she would think about the twos relationship. They had been together for some time... But they didn't have too many thing of interest. Music was it, and nearly that. Occasionally, they would laugh together and have a bit of fun... but to Octavia, those days were few and far apart.

 

Trying to clear her mind of the thought of Vinyl, the musician desired to go for a walk into town. At least there she could clear her head. Putting away her instrument, she walked outside and trekked towards the market. Today, she was going to treat herself. A few fresh apples from the Apple Farm's stand. A rose for the vase on her table back home, and a frame for a picture of her and the DJ. "Just clear your mind and today will be pur-"

 

 

With a sudden stop, the mare hit something solid, forcing her to the ground. "Ghh... It would be wise to look where you are-" this time, she meant to cut herself off. It was the princess she was yelling at. "Oh, princess! My deepest pardons... I didn't see you!" She exclaimed, offering the alicorn a hoof.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

*Twilight took the offered grey hoof and lifted herself up onto her hooves again, then grabbed Spike in her magic, putting him on her back again.* "Oh, hello Octavia. It's fine, really. I guess we both weren't paying attention to where we were going." *She said with an embarrassed chuckle. Spike was about to mumble something insulting, but she immediately shushed him to make him be quiet.* "Well, I really should be ok my way. Duty calls. Have a nice day Octavia." *He said, flashing her a smile and walked off to return to her previous task, meeting with Pinkie Pie at the Picnic Area.*

[Princess-Sunbutt 268]

     Vinyl, passing Bon Bon, was about to continue her normal route to the park; a familiar beat played through her ears despite nothing playing. Yet her mind kept wondering off back to Bon Bon, she spun around in the road just in time to see a rainbow maned pegasus shoot by and slam the door on Lyra's house. She knew both of them where in there, those two ponies had something going on it was so obvious. Not that it mattered to Vinyl much though considering that she was a filly fooler herself, heck she embraced it. Especially in her line of work she'd end up with a mare hitting on her at about every show but she stayed loyal, loyal to Octavia. 

 

     Thinking of the grey earth pony only made Vinyl frown, their.....relationship was in a bit of a mess, Recently she'd been so busy partying and DJing at night clubs that the two had barely spoken. 'Maybe I could ask them for advice' she considered, Lyra and Bon Bon did seem happy together, possibly she could get some pointers. Trotting quickly up to Lyra's door Vinyl raised her hoof to knock but withdrew it quickly, 'No, what am I thinking this is so embarrassing. I dont need advice I'll just do this myself.' the mare cantered angrily off to the park, 'Tavi deserves a better pony than me in her life anyway'

 

     Finally reaching her usual spot at a park bench, Vinyl set out her equipment and sifted through her records. She stopped to look at one of them briefly, before tucking it away with a sad smile. That one was special, something she spend every last bit she had to create and she hadn't played it yet. She was saving it for something special, waiting to the right moment to play it. Placing another record on the wheel Vinyl turned on her speakers and began to play her music.

Rarity trotted up to where Pinkie was having her picnic.

 

"Terribly sorry to be late, I'm in the middle of a bit of a fashion crisis at my boutique and became quite distracted. Also, I may have taken a slight detour for some of these crystal-berry biscottis."

 

Rarity used her magic to offer a box to Rainbow and Pinkie that was already a quarter of the way empty.

 

"Oh and uhm, I may have sampled a few on the way here."

[Shadowking58 1,137]

Lyra looked over to her friend. "Oh, it's nothing. I was just about to catch some zzz's. But you know I can always make an exception for my marefriend." She says. "So, is there something specific that you wanted? Or a specific reason that you came here at this time?" Lyra asks. She looks casually over Bon Bon in the light. Waiting for an answer. "I could've sworn I saw Vinyl outside..." She thought.

Pinkie looked down at Raritys partially empty box and still smiled anyways. "Don't worry Rarity, you still managed to save some for all of our friends. You are still showing some of that generosity." Pinkie. Bouced around at the excitement of more of her friends arriving.

"Like I said, I just decided to come and visit to check up on you. I thought maybe you'd gotten into another one of your misadventures," she teased. Lyra was the more outgoing one compared to Bon Bon, who was more reserved and sensible. Still, they made a great couple.

[arkman575 312]

Octavia had spent a few minutes in the market, looking over stalls. She was rather calm since she ran into the princess, but she still felt a little worrisome over her mare friend. When walking through market, she couldn't help but gaze over at couples with a sigh. They seemed so happy... laughing and talking. Final and her rarely ever walked out and just talked. She always found it too... Boring.

 

Walking up to a few stances, the mare gathered a few necessities for dinner. She wanted it to be good. Tonight... She was going to talk to her friend about their relationship. When she bought what was needed, she then returned home.

      Vinyl had been DJing for several minutes, ignoring the looks she was getting from several ponies that happened to pass by. The unicorn had hoped to collect a couple bits by the end of the day yet such a thing was a rarity when she wasn't among the usual crowd yet she couldnt buy Tavi anything for tonight if she didnt get any money. Looking up from her sound board as the record finished Vinyl looked at several of the elements of harmony having a picnic. They were laughing and seemingly having a good time, this just made her think back to Lyra and Bon Bon and what a great relationship they had, something she didnt have herself. 

 

     She used her magic to lift another record on to the turntable yet all the passion seemed lost, all Vinyl could think about was Tavi. "Ugh I just cant do it!" in frustration she packed up her stuff and trotted back into Ponyville. Vinyl nearly was at her own house but she couldnt go back at face her earth pony friend. Looking again at Lyra's house she got a feeling in her gut, one that compelled her to knock on that door. 'Just swallow your pride, it cant be that bad' Begrudgingly she walked up to Lyra's door and rested her signature glasses up on her forehead, revealing her cerise colored eyes.  'If this doesnt somehow help me, nothing under Celestia's sun will' she knocked on the door.

"Hello there Twilight. And hello there Spikey-Wikey. Pinkie Pie has put together the most wonderful picnic, and it is such a gorgeous day. Do sit, do sit.

 

"I feel a bit guilty to say this, but this picnic is much better since that 'Vinyl Ponfrey' or whatever her name is stopped playing that dreadful music. Not to say that there is anything wrong with that kind of music, but it just did not sit well with the ambiance of the picnic. Don't you agree, Pinkie?"
