Chapter 9
The morning sun struck me as a woke up. i was cramped head to hoof and with the looks of my blankets i never moved at all last night. I stretched out my legs and went into the kitchen. Octavia was still sleeping but now that i know she has nothing to do today i went into her 's room was dark. her window covered by thick curtains and the only light was of the hall shining through the open door. It illuminated only a small fraction of her room. papers weren't strewn all over the place but still clumped up in a corner. i walked over to one of the windows and flew open the curtains making the sun's light blaze through. octavia started moving around with a groan. i opened the other curtains and let as much light in as i could.
"Vinyl you know i hate mornings why are you doing this?" i turned to her as she was covering her head with the blankets.
"Exactly i'm doing it because you hate it now come on we got a big day ahead of us!" i left the room and shut the door behind me. I went to the kitchen and grabbed us both a glass of apple juice. Finally octavia came out. Her hair was so messed up, it was puffy and just unorganized. I giggled a little to myself but tavi didn't notice. i levitated her glass to her and she grabbed it and started drinking. it was quiet for a while but finally we both finished and i levitated the glasses carefully into the sink.
"What i know i look messed up i told you i'm not a morning pony."
"i know its just that we got a busy day and i think the earlier we leave the better." she looked confused for a moment.
"what do you mean nopony has any plans for today?"
" what i mean is that since i have today off and you have no job we might as well go job hunting. i remember when i used to a few years back in canterlot when i lived with my parents. I fianally got enough money and moved here to ponyville to live my dream and own a club, so i have some experience in finding jobs besides newspapers."
"Alright vinyl I'll go get ready and we'll go job hunting or whatever it is you have in store for today." She then turned around and headed for the bathroom. Knowing her she might take a while so i might as well think about what we were going to do today. Truly i didn't think she would even agree in the first place so i actually had no idea what to do. Right now is the time when i am truly greatfull that she takes like an hour in the bathroom. I then heard the shower start up so make that an hour and a half.
Finally i heard the shower stop and i had today all planed out. I went into octavias room and hid in her closet. I was planning on scaring her. I heard the door close and got ready. She opened the closet and i jumped out.
"AHHHHHH SWEET CELESTIA MAKE IT STOP!" she screamed and hit me with her comb.
"Tavi Tavi its me vinyl!" She finally stopped hitting me and looked at me blushing in embarrassment.
"Oh sorry vinyl… you startled me there."
"Yeah but it was worth it…. well kinda but no damage done here just a little prank."
"yes a prank, now will you please leave my room i have to get dressed"
"Tavi you only wear a bowtie you, or anypony i know for that matter doesn't wear clothes."
"yes i know just get out of my room ok ill be out in 5 minutes" She scooted me out and shut the door behind me, i also hear her lock it too. I truly have no clue why she wanted to get 'dressed' but she can do as she pleases as long as we can leave soon, because the sooner we get home the sooner i can relax. Actually i could relax all day but i have to help Octavia find a job. After a while octavia came out, looking as normal, pink bowtie and neatly combed mane.
"You ready yet or do we need anything else before we go?" Octavia shook her head, shut off the lights and headed for the door.
"Nope im ready when you are Vinyl" Now with her ready i levitated my glasses onto my head and opened the door for octavia. Outside was slightly cold but it was early morning so it was bound to get warmer. Octavia followed me through town, neither of us spoke to one another, it was a quiet walk through town. Octavia looked in shop windows and showed no interest in the "Help Wanted" signs. I ignored her laziness and kept on walking and looking. Eventually we stopped at a small cafe. I walked inside and held the door for Octavia.
