Chapter 13
The Morning sun creeped in through the slits in the blinds. The room was lit only slightly by the small rays of light. Tavi's mouth was wide open and she was drooling. She was in a deep sleep, so i moved slowly so i didn't wake her. In the living room everything was calm and clean. I decided to make some breakfast for Tavi and I. I then realized today was the first day on the job at the coffee place for Tavi. I rushed into our room and shook tavi until she was startled and awake.
"What? WHAT'S GOING ON?!" She yelled when she realized what I was doing.
"It's your first day at your new job." She stared blankly for awhile and then realized she was almost late.
"Oh! You're right!" She leapt out of bed, pushed me aside and dashed into the bathroom. I wondered how long it would take for her to get ready.
Only 10 minutes went by until she was dressed, prepped, and ready to go. "Would you like to walk with me to work Vinyl?"
"Yeah, just let me grab my glasses." I hovered my glasses onto my head and opened the door with some magic. "You first working girl." She giggled and went out the door. I shut the door behind me and headed off with tavi.
We arrived at the coffee shop and tavi walked in.
"There you are may I have your resume?" Tavi handed it to the stallion and he looked at it. Scanned it from top to bottom. "Alright you're hired, now in the back is your uniform put it on, It's mandatory." The stallion walked into the back with tavi. They came out a few seconds later.
"Wow tavi, you are looking good in that outfit." She blushed and walked behind the first cash register. "So when do you get lunch?"
"I have lunch at noon and get off at 6."
"Alright, I'll meet you here for lunch then, we can go next door and grab a salad. I'm gonna head home and clean up around the house."
"Ok see you then love." She waved goodbye as i left out the front door. I had the whole day to myself so I decided to simply relax at home. On my way there I ran into a yellow pegasus. She had a long pink mane almost covering her eye. I bumped into her and she dropped a few things out of her bag. "Whoops, sorry. Let me help you with that." I used my magic to pick up the items. They were different color textiles and cloth. She seemed to have mumbled something when I returned her things back in her pouch. "What was that, I couldn't quite hear you?" She turned her head so her mane hid most of her face. Yet again she mumbled something I couldn't hear. "You're going to have to speak up." After a few moments of awkward silence a white unicorn came up to us.
"There you are fluttershy... Who's your friend?" She had a sort of pepy accent. Kind of something of royalty. Her well groomed mane definitely expressed that.
"She doesn't talk much does she?" I asked the unicorn.
"She does, but she's shy. Allow me to introduce us, I am rarity, owner of the Carousel Boutique. This is fluttershy. Now, who might you be?" after she asked that she fluttered her extravagant eyelashes.
"I'm Vinyl Scratch, it's nice to meet you Rarity and Fluttershy." I put my hoof, Rarity gladly shook it and Fluttershy just hid her face behind her mane.
"Aren't you that mare's marefriend? The mare who used to play the… cello in canterlot? What was her name…" She looked at the ground and patted her chin with her hoof in deep thought.
"Octavia?"
"Yes! That's the name. Aren't you her marefriend?"
"Yes… why?"
"Oh I have heard about you two from somepony who heard it from somepony and so on. I would love to stay and chat darling but, Fluttershy and I have to return to my shop. She needs a dress for the gala and it's in a week so there is truly no time to stall." Before I could say anything they turned around and walked away.
