"'Bye, Lightning."
"'Bye, Octavia."
Lightning Strike stretched his slender white wings as he trotted out the door of his cottage. Well, it wasn't just his; he shared it with his roommate, Octavia Melody. Octavia had originally shared the cottage with Vinyl Scratch, a DJ pony, but Vinyl's scratchy digital music was too different from Octavia's soft cello music, so they went their separate ways. That's when Lightning and Octavia met. Lightning had just graduated from the Cloudsdale Flight School, and he needed a place to stay. Octavia had generously offered to share her cottage with him. And from that day on, it was Lightning and Octavia, together forever.
Lightning had met Octavia two years before he moved in with her, at one of her cello concerts. Then, after he moved in with her, he spent three more years living with her. All in all, he'd known her for five years. They both understood each other so well, trusted each other, told each other their secrets... Lightning didn't want it any other way. He wouldn't trade his relationship with Octavia for anything else in all of Equestria. It was perfect.
What wasn't perfect was Lightning's huge crush on Octavia.
Ever since he laid eyes on her, Lightning had loved Octavia. She was beautiful, smart, kind, and incredibly good at playing the cello. She was so talented. All Lightning could do was fly. He was a Wonderbolt, after all. He was the second best flyer in Ponyville. Rainbow Dash was the best flyer. But he was a very close second. Octavia had told him she adored his flying skills, but Lightning could tell that she wasn't really interested in him other than as a friend. She wasn't going to be his Very Special Somepony. And Lightning was fine with that. It was a dream come true just to be her roommate. He didn't need her to like him back.
He could just like her from afar.
For how long he could do that, he didn't know.
