Vinyl x Octavia - Looking back

Chapter 1 - Looking through the window

"Vinyl?" Neon called as he walked around his house with a cup of coffee, "Where are you?" He mumbled to himself. He continued to search all the rooms then heard a noise from the attic; he went to see what it was and as he peered his head up he saw Vinyl sitting in the centre of his old record boxes, "Vinyl?" Neon asked as he went up to her,
"She's sick. She was just very sick." Vinyl said as she looked over to Neon, "I just didn't understand. All she wanted to do is keep our secret safe." Vinyl took the coffee off Neon and looked around herself. Neon sighed and took her back down, out of the attic, then proceeded to lock the attic. "How do you always end up there?" Neon looked at Vinyl, waiting for an answer,
"Teleportation." She answered sheepishly then wondered into the living room.

"Vinyl, why do you go upstairs into the attic? It's dusty in there." Neon looked into the room and stared at her. Vinyl was staring at a blank TV screen with tears in her eyes mumbling to herself. Neon walked over to her, "I can't take this anymore." He said as Vinyl glanced over at him, "You miss her, I get that but this. What your doing is scaring me." Vinyl hugged Neon and cried, however before Neon could hug back Vinyl put on her shades and teleported out of his house. "Attic again?"

Vinyl was in the centre of town and started to look around for directions. She wandered around as ponies stopped to stare at the staggering unicorn making her way around. Vinyl collapsed at the pain of her horn but got up and continued to walk on, she didn't care about her horn or that she couldn't use it for spells that much. All Vinyl had in mind was Octavia Melody and the chance to see her again. "Miss do you need help?" The other ponies voices sounded distant, though they were right next to her, "Hay, are you ok?" Vinyl lent against a post as a crowd surrounded her, "Where is..." The crowd came closer. "...Melody..." Vinyl lost consciousness and fell to the ground. She saw blurs of ponies but one looked familiar. "Tavi?"
She awoke in hospital and failed to find Octavia. "I hope your happy now." Vinyl turned her head to see Nurse Red Heart, "I heard from Mr Lights that you was trying to see somepony. Did you succeed?" Vinyl looked back up at the ceiling, "I'll take that as a no. Well due to you not hearing our warning about using magic when recovering, we'll need to keep you here for a few weeks. To she how it's doing and such okay?" Vinyl turned over away from the nurse and pulled the blanket over her. The nurse left and Vinyl gazed out of the window, looking at where to go next.

The next day Neon visited her and started a lecture about using magic and disappearing to places without notice, of course she didn't listen and just stared out of the window. Neon pulled the blind over the window and Vinyl looked over at him like she woke up from a daydream, "Your never listening to me are you." Vinyl frowned and then turned her head and looked at the time, "I'm trying to protect you." Vinyl got out of the bed and pulled the IV stand along with her as she walked to the vending machine. The nurses looked at her as she had shades on, "Ms Scratch?" Vinyl looked around at the doctor as he got a group of ponies over and guided Vinyl back to her ward, "I wanna get out of here!" She screamed as she was sent back to bed, "This is prison! Prison!" Vinyl sat on the bed and glanced at Neon with puppy dog eyes, "I'm not 'busting you out' of a hospital. Your sick and need to take care of that horn of yours."
"Dream killer." Vinyl started screaming for attention but no one looked at her. Her and Neon was the only one in her ward due to her antics.

Visiting times were over and Neon left Vinyl alone in the ward; she got under the sheets, looked up at the ceiling and closed her eyes, "I miss you Tavi." Vinyl whispered and thought of Octavia's words, "I love you marshmallow~" Vinyl opened her eyes and got up in a panic, she looked around and saw the sun rise behind the blind. She sighed and looked at the the end of her ward where a pegasus sat at the desk; she got the IV stand and walked over to him, "Do you know when I'll be out?" He looked up and saw her red eyes,
"Your tired, go to bed." Vinyl realised she's not wearing shades and then remembered Octavia's words. She raced back to her shades tipping the IV over and the pegasus stood up, Vinyl grabbed her shades and put them on; She turned around and looked up at the pegasus, "Don't run with the IV connected to you. It's dangerous." Vinyl nodded, "Your here until the end of the week and that's only if nothing is different with your horn's damage." Vinyl sat on the bed and looked at him with puppy dog eyes, "What?"
"Could you help me go and visit someone? Or invite them here?" He sighed as Vinyl started tugging on his top, "Fine but it'll have to be at dark, but a word of this and I'm fired." Vinyl smiled and hugged him as Neon came in, "I see your happy again." Vinyl pulled up the blind from the window and hugged Neon, "Glad to see your back to your old self again."
