How may I help you? (Patreon)

Vinyl fumbled with her horn for the keys as she approached the front door of the bungalow she and Octavia called home. It had been a long afternoon doing setup for the electronic music festival which started tomorrow evening. After many hours her and the technicians had finally gotten everything working right.

      The music festival was tied into the upcoming Nightmare Night Festival in Ponyville. Vinyl knew that this genre of music wasn't a favorite of her partner Octavia, but the earth pony had been very supportive of her. She even planned to attend the costume ball being held in connection to the festival. She'd been working on some costume for the last week or so.

       To show her thanks, and to not have to do dishes since it was Vinyl's night, the unicorn had picked up pizza on her way home. Along with a green salad and a jug of red wine. Fortunately her telekinesis allowed her to unlock the door with her hands full.  With a push from her horn the door swung open and unicorn stepped into the house. 

       "Hey Octy!  I'm home!  Sorry I'm late but I brought home pi...."

        Vinyl's train of thought ran out of steam as she caught sight of her partner moving around their living room in a very short maid outfit as she dusted various objects in the room with a large feather duster. Noticing Vinyl's entry she smiled and walked over to her and bowed. 

       "Oh! Good evening! How may I help you?"

        "Uh Octavia what are you doing? I had my cardio test last week."

       The earth pony looked down at her outfit. "Well isn't obvious dear? This is my costume for the costume ball at the music festival. Rarity finished the final details this afternoon and I'm giving it a try!"

        The celloist twirled around and then paused and gave an end table a quick dusting. With that task completed she looked back at the white unicorn. "But attitude is just as important as the actual outfit. So I've been practicing this evening while doing some cleaning." She leaned forward a bit. "Do you think I make it work?"

        The unicorn justed nodded her head slowly. "Yeah. Yeah. You're totally nailing it."

         This perked up the mare. "Splendid! Oh and you brought home dinner! Excellent! Let me get us some plates and tableware m'am and then we'll be able to dine!"

         She then curtsied and went to retrieve said items. Vinyl watched her walked off and wondered if Octavia had turned the heater on the house since she felt flushed in the face.
