Chapter 17

9:00 am

"Wake up sleepy head." A voice said as I slowly opened my eyes. I was met with a loving gaze from Octavia's gentle purple eyes.

"Morning sweetie." I said as I gave her a little kiss. We then continued to gaze into each other's eyes. There was silence for what seemed liked a few hours as we were locked in a loving stare. Nopony said anything, but we knew exactly what the other was thinking. A few minutes went by before I leaned in and gave her another kiss. "I love you Octavia." I said as she blushed.

"I love you too Sky." She said as she pulled me into a loving embrace. After a few moments we released from our embrace. I then rolled over and wrapped my arms around Vinyl, who was still sleeping.

"And I also love you too Vinyl." I said as I rolled her back over in between Octavia and me. Vinyl suddenly awoke and began to flail. I started to laugh as she began to become more coherent. "Good morning Vinyl." I said giving her a kiss on the back of her head. She turned her head around and gave me a kiss.

"Good morning Sky." She said as she turned to face Octavia. "And good morning to you as well Tavi." She said as she gave Octavia a kiss on the cheek.

"Good morning to you too Vinyl." She said. Vinyl then rolled back over facing me.

"So what are we going to do today?" Vinyl asked. I thought for a moment before a smile crept across my face.

"Well, how about this. We could go visit the Canterlot Museum of Fine Arts and then we could go out to lunch.

"Sky that would be just wonderful. What do you think Vinyl?" Octavia asked.

"Do we have to go to a boring museum?" Vinyl complained. Octavia gave Vinyl a little jab with her hoof.

"Vinyl, it's not going to kill you to visit a place with a little bit of class." She said. I smiled and let out a little laugh.

"Yea Vinyl, and besides, they have a new music gallery there. I'm sure they have a lot of cool instruments there including a demo D.J. booth. Vinyl smiled as soon as said that last part. "Alright then we will leave for the museum in about an hour or so." I said as they both nodded their heads in agreement. "Great. Now you two get ready while I go back to sleep for half an hour." I was met with two playful glares, before we began to laugh.

10:30am

"Alright, here we are. The Museum of Fine Arts." I said as we walked up to the entrance and through the door. Once we came through the door we found ourselves standing in a vibrantly colorful room.

"This place is beautiful." Octavia said as I smiled. I then looked towards Vinyl.

"What do you think Vinyl?" I asked as she looked at me and smiled.

"It's alright, but this place needs a little more style." She said as I laughed while Octavia glared at her.

"Vinyl, this place doesn't need more style, you just need a little more culture." she said as Vinyl smiled at her.

"Yea, I know Tavi. You always keep telling me that." She said looking around the room. She then saw a sign pointing her towards the music section. "Alright you two, if you need me, you know where to find me." She said as she started to walk off towards the section.

"Vinyl, come back..." she was interrupted by me shaking my head.

"It's alright Octavia. Besides, I don't think we could stop her anyway." I said as she looked at me and gave a little giggle.

"Ok Sky. So what do you want to see first?" she asked as I thought for a moment.

"Well, I don't really know." I looked back at her. "Haven't you been here before?" I asked as she nodded her head. "Well, how about you give me a tour then. I'm sure you know what I would enjoy." I said as she smiled.

"Alright then, follow me please." She said as we began our tour.

An hour later

"And as you can see here, we have a lovely painting." She said as I observed the painting."

"I really enjoyed this Octavia." I said as she looked at me and smiled.

"Well I'm glad you did. I only wish Vinyl could have been here with us."

"Don't worry about that Octavia. I'm sure she is having fun messing around in the music section."

"Speaking of which, we are pretty much done with the tour. We should go find Vinyl and make sure she hasn't caused to much trouble." Octavia said as I nodded.

"Yea, hopefully she hasn't caused to much trouble." I said as we started to walk towards the music section. As soon as we entered through the door, we saw Vinyl up on stage at the D.J. booth, fighting with another pony.

"Ugh, let's go see what kind of trouble Vinyl has gotten in too." Octavia said as we approached the booth.

"Excuse me sir, but what seems to be the problem." I asked as he looked at me.

"She has been on this D.J. booth for the last hour and I haven't had a chance to use it yet." He said as he glared back at Vinyl.

"You already had your chance. You just suck at being at a D.J." Vinyl said as I could see the other pony getting really angry with her.

"I don't suck, I was only trying it out. I bet I'm way better than you." He said angrily at her.

"No, you're right, you don't suck. Suck could not describe how bad you are at using this." She said in a mocking tone. I looked towards the other pony whose face was red with anger.

"You will regret that last comment." He said as he raised his hoof about to strike her. I could see her flinch, as he was about to strike her. A moment before he struck her, I got in between them and his hoof connected to the side of my face. I slowly turned my head and stared at him. He slowly began to back up. I took a step toward him and just stared at him.

"If I ever see you again, we are going to have some serious problems. Understand?" I said as he nodded his head violently and ran out of the room. I turned to Vinyl who looked up at me. "You ok Vinyl?" I asked as she smiled and gave me a kiss.

"Of course I am. I had you here to protect me." She said as Octavia walked over to us.

"You alright Sky?" she asked as I nodded my head and smiled.

"Yea, don't worry. That didn't hurt a bit." I said as Octavia gave a sigh of relief.

"I forgot that It wouldn't. I'm just glad that other pony didn't try to pick a fight with you."

"Yea, you would of beat him bad if he did." Vinyl said as I laughed.

"True, but I still don't like to fight. I will only fight in order to protect you two." I said as I looked at both of them. "Anyways, you ready to leave now." I asked as they both nodded their heads. "Alright, lets go then." I said as we started walking out of the building. Once outside, I looked at them.

"So who is hungry?" I asked as they smiled at me and nodded their heads. "Great, we can eat at wherever you two want too." I said as they began to think.

"Any ideas Tavi?" Vinyl asked as Octavia shook her head.

"No, I'm afraid to say." She said. I thought for a moment before I came up with an idea.

"Hey, we aren't in any rush. How about we just walk around and when we see a place that we want to eat, we can go in." I asked them as they looked at then back at me and nodded. "Then lets go." I said as we started walking.

Twenty Minutes Later

"Yes I would like the garden salad please." Octavia said as the waiter wrote down her order and looked at Vinyl.

"Yea, I will have the salad as well." Vinyl said as the waiter as wrote that down.

"And for you so?" the waiter asked me.

"Yes, I would like the fruit and salad please." I said as he nodded and walked off. "So did you two have fun today?" I asked as they nodded their heads.

"Yes it was quite wonderful. Except for the little episode with that pony." Octavia said as she looked at Vinyl, who gave a smile.

"Yea Tavi, but I had Sky there to protect me." She said as she gave me a gentle swipe with her tail. I laughed a little as I looked at Octavia who just sighed.

"Don't worry Tavi, I will always be there to protect you both." I said as Octavia smiled. Octavia was just about to say something before the waiter, bringing us our food, interrupted her.

"Alright, is there anything else you need?" he asked as we shook our heads and thanked him. We all began to eat, because we were famished at this time.

"So anyway Octavia, what were you about to say?" I asked taking another bite out of my salad. Octavia looked up at me and swallowed her food.

"Well, never mind. It was nothing important." Octavia said, taking another bite out of her salad.

"Come on Octavia, tell..." I paused as I saw royal guard walk in and approach our table.

"Sir, we need you to come to the palace at one. The Princess needs to speak to you at once." He said as I took another bite of my salad and stood up.

"Alright you two. I have to go speak with the Princess." I walked over to them and gave them each a kiss. "Now you two behave yourselves. I will see you two back at the house later tonight." I said as I turned to the guard. "Sir, please make sure these lovely mares get back home safely." I said as the guard saluted me.

"Yes sir. It will be done."

"Thank you." I said as I gave them each another kiss and walked out of the restaurant. I spread my wings and began to fly towards the castle.
