Octavia and Vinyl:The good old days
When Octavia finally reached her first class,she realized she still had a few minutes to spare before class started. She decided to make the most of it,and pulled out a book on the cello. While she had read it several times,she decided it wouldn't do much harm to give it another look "It seems no pony is here yet,how odd.." Octavia remarked,taking in the empty classroom. A few minutes later,a dozen of other ponies filed into the room like a crazy bunch. They seemed to be gathered around one pony,but who it was had been a mystery. Octavia caught a glance of a shiny electric blue mane,and paper white fur. "Oh my Celestia....Not her..Anypony but her."
Vinyl's face lit up,as she saw her roommate sitting at a desk in the front row of the classroom.How in Equestria did that mare walk in the school and get so popular within minutes!? Octavia thought dryly.
"Oh,hello there everypony. I'm Octavia." She introduced herself as politely as possible when ponies were grouped around her in such a large crowd, as they were.
Her throat was dry,she had been a little bit uncomfortable when everpony was so close to her. Even though she performed,and was used to a big crowd,and lots of attention,she hadn't like how they were getting so close.
Vinyl looked at her,longer than most ponies should look at someone they barely knew.
The teacher then trotted in to the room,Celestia knows how late he was. He wore a vest,and despite the boiling weather outside,a scarf was placed around his neck like it was snowing.
"Okay class,this may be our first day but I'm not going easy on you. You'll be taking tests,you'll be very doing work,and you will not be slacking off." He scowled at them in a strict tone,taking the scarf off of his body.
The brown colt who would be teaching the class began going on about what kind of behavior he wanted to see from the class,and had already put some of the ponies to sleep. Most of the fillies and colts had taken a seat in the back,as the teacher couldn't see when they were talking and sleeping as well back there. Octavia had been one of the few ponies who preferred a seat in the front of the room over being seated in the far back.
"Aww,c'mon,don't be like that." She replied to the mare. "I was wondering..." She trailed off,and began to write something down on a blank piece of paper. Octavia looked at her,both amused,and baffled. "Here." The note was handed to the grey cellist,who read it over and chuckled a bit. "Of course." The note read: "Hey Tavi,you wanna head to a cool place i know after school? I'm playing some music there and you gotta hear it!" Octavia smiled at the mare over to her side. " Of course I'll go to your performance,Vinyl." She answered the question written on the small yellow sticky note. Vinyl then snuck back to her seat in the back of the classroom.
Once the pair got to their rented building,they began to get ready for Vinyl's performance. "So,Vinyl,what do you play?"

Chapter three:Making new friends
It was dark when the pair finally reached the building Vinyl would be playing in that night. "Well,this is it." She looked at Octavia,who stared at the place uncomfortably. "Uh..T-Tavi...is something wrong?" "Uh...n-no..it's just that..I mean..uh...a..bar ?"
"Uh..yeah..what is it?" The DJ looked confused,with a hint of confusion on her face.have to order anything." Vinyl tried sympathetically. "They have normal stuff too,you know." The grey mare looked nervously at her. "Really?" She was confused. If they sold normal foods,why didn't it say something like 'restaurant and bar ?' But then again,she didn't get out much.
Upon getting inside of the building,the noise was blaring loud and much worse than poor Octavia was used to.
The party had gone on for what seemed like eternity to Octavia,who had never been to a place like this before in her entire life.
By the time the party had finally came to a close, the poor grey mare ran for the exit of the building like it had been going up in flames.
"Tavi,was it too loud for you? Are you sure that you're fine?" Vinyl gave her friend a concerned look. Though she was still blown away from the noise,Octavia answered nonetheless. "Yes Vinyl,for the eighth time,I'm fine." Octavia rolled her eyes,making it apparent that she'd be just fine.
The DJ suddenly stopped dead in her tracks,like a deer in the headlights.
"Fuck" The pony may not have been able to get any paler than she already was,but if she could,it would have happened right there and then.music test,Octavia!!!!" "If I don't pass MY WHOLE LIFE CAREER IS AT STAKE!!!" Vinyl seemed worried,which was a strange sight to Octavia. Vinyl had practically lived in another world, her own world.
"Ugh..I-I should have said something.....I should have reminded her..I just didn't think it mattered.. I feel absolutely terrible.." Octavia continued frowning,feeling terrible about not reminding her friend of the music they would be having the next day.
Everything went black.

Chapter 4
Octavia walked out of P.E,tired out,and exhausted. Unfortunately,Vinyl wasn't in her class,so she had to work with Bon Bon and Lyra instead. "Hey! Octavia!" Upon hearing her name,the grey mare turned and looked to see who was yelling at her.
A beige earth pony was running her way;Bon Bon. Along side her was a mint green unicorn,who never seemed to wander far from Bon Bon.
"Oh,hello again Bon Bon,hello Lyra." Octavia greeted the pair,sounding formal as always.Well !?" Lyra tried,breaking them out of the trance.you ?" The mint green unicorn looked at Vinyl,who was smiling at the chance to give herself a grand introduction,and impress the two mares who stood before her.
They each had a different story to tell,and as they told them,the small amount of time they had been given to eat felt like it flew by.
By the time they finished up in the cafeteria,history was already starting. Once all the mares and colts had settled down the annoyed teacher started with a lecture about how the states had gotten shaped,even though they had learned it long ago. There was a group of mares whispering behind Octavia,which,although it was distracting,she said nothing about it,and kept taking notes on what the teacher in the front of the classroom was saying. Other's were whispering,daydreaming,and drawing,and it looked to Octavia as if she were the only one paying attention to the poor colt,who was trying to yell at the ponies who weren't listening to him,and continue the lesson.

"You know Vinyl,It's true.." Octavia sighed
Vinyl moved swiftly down the hall,but stopped only when she heard a muffled yelling noise coming her way. She looked up,finding a grey mare with crossed eyes had been falling straight in her direction.thump ,landed in a mangled up ball. "Ugh.." The DJ scrambled to her hooves,rubbing her head with her fore-hoof. "Sorry about that." She looked up again to see the same grey mare that had landed on her not even minutes ago. "I'm Derpy,sorry about that. I do that sometimes..hehe."muffins ..?" The unicorn looked around her,trying to spot if anypony had been carrying muffins nearby,but stopped when the grey pagagsus began to speak. "That would be me! I carry all kinds of muffins in my saddle bags! Blueberry muffins,chocolate ship muffins,plain muffins,chocolate muffins,strawberry muffins,banana muffins,banana nut muffins,apple cinnamon muffins,lemon poppyseed muffins,pumpkin muffins, and all kinds of muffins!" Vinyl had never seen anypony with such a vast knowledge of muffins in her entire life. "So...Do you make them yourself?" She decided to play off the strange muffin knowledge with a casual question. "Of course! I love baking muffins,and then eating them later! Here,you can have this!" Derpy handed Vinyl a chocolate chip muffin to which she happily smiled,and accepted, "Thanks Derpy."Vinyl seems like a nice mare,she's a little strange,though! ' Derpy thought,happily.
Both mares trotted into the room,ignoring the stares they got from the rest of the class. Taking their desks,they began to work on the assignment given to them by the angry teacher.
On the way to her class,Octavia looked in her bag to see what Vinyl had put in there. She put a hoof into the pocket and began shuffling it around,attempting to find the small piece of paper. Once she finally found it sitting idly in the very bottom,she grabbed it out. After unfolding it,the cellist sighed at what she found. "Oh my goodness,Vinyl."

Upon reaching her English classroom,Octavia noticed she had been about five minutes early.or Lyra could find you!! You weren't in class,and we were worried!" The baker scolded Octavia as if she were here daughter.
Bon Bon,on the other hoof,simply sat there,laughing her flank off at the poor cellist,who was already out of eyesight.
Vinyl stalked around the corner of the hall,prey in sight. Lyra's minty hair was being combed down by a brush held by her green unicorn magic. She thought she was alone,thus she was calm,and oblivious to the world around her.wrong with you Vinyl!? You scared me!! Dear Celestia,you nearly gave me a heart attack,Vinyl!"sorry ' Is gonna make up for it!?" Lyra screamed "Yes?" The DJ squeaked her response.

"Rainbow....Rainbow Dash!?" "Yeah,that's my name." Vinyl never actually met her,but she heard the cyan mare was tough.
"Oh...You mean Lyra...I..sorta played a prank on her....and..scared her...and now she hates me..." Vinyl sighed.like it." The cyan pony snaked around when she spoke-it was enough to make even Vinyl tremble a bit.me "Feelings ?" She hissed.Shut up. "and her."

Sleepy. ""Vinyl!" "Vinyl!" "Vinyl!" "Vinyl!"
Octavia...Octavia!? Octavia!
The noise of many nurses,doctors,and hoofsteps became audible as Vinyl regained consciousness.
"She's awake!!! She's waking up!!"
Now they were in a room. But that's all that Vinyl could see before blacking out again.
When she woke up,she could see many faces around her.Lyra I hate you. ' written all over it.did you find her?" Bon Bon askedRainbow Dash is walking away from your seemingly lifeless body,laughing her flank off."me ? And then you....defended us?"
"Hang on a minute." Derpy stopped the chatter that filled the hospital room. "What happened between you and Lyra?" She looked to Vinyl,then Lyra,and kept moving back and forth to see them both.
"Well. I-" "She friggin' scared the hay outta me!!"
Octavia look confused. "What?"
Before any pf them could interject, Nurse Redheart came into the room,clearing her throat to get their attention. "It's meal time." She rolled in a cart with food and a can of soda on it. " Would any of you like anything?"
They each asked for a small something,so they could eat,but would be too much of a bother for the nurse.
"Oh! Nurse!! When do I get out of here?" Vinyl asked.
Nurse Redheart looked back. "In about a week." With that,she took her leave.
"I'm sorry to cut my visit short,but I need to get home." Derpy spoke up from the front of the room. "Goodbye!" All of them said goodbye to each other,as one after one they left the room.
Octavia-who was the only one left with Vinyl looked to her friend. "You know,they let you have one person stay overnight."
"So,when you go back your going to get revenge on Dash,aren't you?"

The morning light shone through the drawn,green curtains that not so long ago blocked any brightness threatening to invade the room.She really needs to look at her schedule more often...if she even has one.. Octavia thought with a sigh. "The nurse is coming in to change your bandages in one hour from now-So wake.Up!" Octavia pulled some of the covers off Vinyl.
Vinyl turned the water on,and held a hoof out into the stream to test the temperature. She turned it up a little hotter,before noticing a note taped to the wall. Vinyl,only turn the nob as high as the chart below,so that your injuries don't burn,or freeze '
She looked down farther on the paper,to find a picture of the shower nob turned a little bit to the hot side,but not quite escaping warm.
"Aww,come on! I'm gonna freeze my flank off in there!"
Hesitantly,she walked into the small shower,supplied to the guests of the hospital.
She looked at herself in the mirror,and pulled her glasses back over her eyes.
"Oh,Vinyl,you're finally done.You know we only have two minutes until the nurse comes in here to clean your injuries!"Oh,Vinyl,the poor dear.Having so many wounds being cleaned out must sting so much..... '
A doctor trotted into the room,with a cart full of food. "It's lunch time,ladies!"

Vinyl was finally allowed out of the hospital,but she hadn't realized how embarrassing it would be to go back to school.Rainbow Dash
"Dash,Let's finish this some other time. I'm not interested right now. Besides, I have a class right now." Vinyl dragged her words,bored with Dash's taunting. She then simply walked into a room,and slammed the door shut behind her,leaving a surprised Rainbow Dash flying in the hallways.
When she walked in she was met with a silent classroom of ponies, just staring at her. It was a usual sight to see when walking into a classroom,but not the same,because they were looking at her like that for a different reason,making the stare longer than it should have been. "Can I help any of you?" She said with a scoff,heading to her seat. The colts and mared alike looked away immediately,afraid to upset her. "Vinyl Scratch-you have missed over a week of class,and are late,care to explain?" The teacher said with a frown. "Sure." Vinyl simply rolled the word off her tongue,directly at her instructor. "I doubt you'll have an explanation this time,young mare." He said,strictly.
She used her magic to bring the hospital note up to the front of the room,in front of his face. He sighed and went over to his computer,changing some things on an attendance page.
Vinyl smirked,as she finally made the dunce look dumb in front of his own class.
Octavia looked at the clock,she wasn't used to being in class,as she spent the week in Vinyl's hospital room.
"Very well,Octavia." The older mare made notes of it in her files on Octavia,and moved on with the lesson.
It was time to leave school,and the ponies were pushing,and shoving through the hallways.

"You ready,Octavia?" Vinyl asked,grabbing her sweat jacket.Le restaurant de poney fantaisie ."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they opened the doors,you could tell it was Octavia's natural habitat.
A throat being cleared could be heard from close by. "Table for two,I presume?" A waiter wearing a tuxedo,and a cloth from his arm was standing in front of them,waiting to seat them at a table.way fancy!" Vinyl said.do drink."
When the waiter came back,his horn was glowing,carrying their food and drinks. "Your beverages." He said placing the wine and coke down on the table,in front of the pair. "And your meals." He added,setting the food on the table too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they stepped outside,it was freezing. They began a trudge home,trying to get as close as possible,to get warmed up. "Man,I really want to take a warm shower,and get cuddled in bed. I'm glad our dorm has a fire place in it! As soon as we get home,that's getting turned on!" Vinyl shouted,her breath visible in the frosty air.
"I can see it from here,Tavi! Almost there! Just a little further! You can do it,Tavi! Don't give up!"in front of you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they opened the door knob,they both made a run for the indoors,as if it was for their lives.Man, Octavia would look really pretty with the snowflakes in her mane,wearing her grey and purple hat,with that pretty smile...and beautiful coat...wow...WAIT what am I thinking!? Octavia is my best friend!! I can't trick her into coming out side with me just to see her like that! I'd be being a terrible friend! Her mane is wet,and she'd be SO cold!! I mean...I can dry her mane with my magic..but....OH! I just don't know!!!!

The next day came too soon. Light poured through the curtains,causing the pair curled up on the floor to squint against it's radiant light.Wish I didn't look so terrible.He probably thinks I don't ever know how to look proper! Octavia thought with a sigh. "Sorry to wake you up so early,I was just excited to get to know my neighbor!" He beamed at her while he spoke. "Not a problem at all! I outta wake up early more often,actually! Oh,and once she wakes up,you'll need to come and see Vinyl sometime! She's still sleeping now,but I'm sure you'll find her charming!" The grey cellist could talk up Vinyl when the time as right,but right she was meeting a new friend.Wait! Christmas!? What should I get for Vinyl!? What would she like!? No! No! No! No! I don't know what to do! Perhaps ask a friend? But I don't know any of her other friends "
She reached a hoof to the lever,turning it down,from hot-to cold-to nothing. She grabbed a towel and began drying herself off,making sure to get all of her coat dry,before looking into the mirror. The cellist grabbed another towel down from it's rack,and put it over her mane. The towel soon became too wet to dry it though,and thus she tossed it into the hamper. Octavia reached a hoof into a drawer,grabbing a purple and grey mane-dryer,that was placed next a similar one,with blue on top,and gray on bottom. She like purple,Vinyl liked blue,what else could she say? "Man,I'm sure glad I bought this thing!" She whipped her mane around,drying off what she could of it. "Alright,this should do." She said to herself,Putting her mane up in a clip. It wasn't going to dry any sooner,no matter how many times she ran the blow-dryer over it. The damp mane would do for now,until later when she took it down,and re-styled it.
She picked up the newspaper from the front of her house,and took it inside. There were many things in it to read,but one thing in particular stood out to her 'The amazing 'DJ P0n3 playing at 'The scratch' Friday night! 7:30 she'll be performing some of her new works to show off! "Strange....she didn't tel me she was preforming tonight. Was it because it slipped her mind,or was she hiding it? What is this mare up to?" She turned on a mental light bulb. "She doesn't need to keep me updated on her life,I understand! She doesn't lie."She doesn't get these back until I see her eyes Octavia thought,with a gentle nod,and a smile to re-assure herself.

Vinyl woke up,her leg was numb from having her weight on it for an entire night,and most of the morning. When she fully opened her eyes,she made a small realization. Her glasses were missing. She quickly slid her eyelids shut,afraid somepony was home. "Uh...Tavi!? You seen my shades!?"
".....Vinyl......Why?...Why do you hide them...?" Octavia stared into Vinyl's magenta eyes. She had never seen anypony else with that eye color before,yet she found it beautiful. They would never match up to her light purple ones.special ."unique . And only unique ponies,get unique eye colors." Octavia gave a smile,before using a hoof to pull her friend off the floor. The cellist wrapped her arms around Vinyl in a swift motion,and though she held her tight,she made sure she wasn't hurting her. " And you . Are a special pony." She lied down,letting a weeping Vinyl lay in her shoulder. She lifted a hoof,and began to stroke the DJ's mane,carefully. She used firm,yet soft strokes,comforting the pony lying in her arms.
Octavia sat up,putting on a light pink scarf with stripes that had an almost transparent shade of pink on it, tassels hanging from the ends,from a black hook that was set in front of their plain brown door.
Vinyl let out a small smile,before wiping her eyes,and nodding to Octavia.
The DJ let the door shut behind her,with a small click noise,ad headed in the direction her friend had been walking towards.
"Vinyl!" Octavia had been halfway down the street already,making a rapid dash towards the park.
Their arrival made way for laughing,giggling,yelling,cheering,and all else. But that had come to and end as they sat down on a bench together.
Just as soon as their small conversation had come to an ending,the snow began falling from the sky above,making a beautiful sight for all to see.
"I-I mean! Y-You're very pretty and-I-I!! I-I M-M-m,mmean! I-" She tried to take back what she said,but the damage was already done.
She giggled,and leaned in closer to a shocked Vinyl.
Vinyl shook her head quickly,letting her mind slip back to awareness. Just like in her day dream from before,Octavia's mane and coat had been lightly dotted in the snow,and she had a bright smile on her face.
Vinyl smiled at her,just seeing her like that would be enough for a life time.
"Hm. First snow. And our first kiss. What do you think about that,Vinyl?" Octavia smiled with that same face that Vinyl had fallen in love with,making her smile,too.
They both laughed at Vinyl's stupidity,but only had a few seconds before they realized the sudden change in the weather.
The wind wasn't gentle anymore,but it whipped around them in a what seemed like a raged fury.
Vinyl was losing traction onto the ground,an ended up slipping in an ugly mess.
They saw a small light in the distance,almost that of a flashlight.Bon Bon and Lyra "Bon Bon! Lyra! Is that you!?" Octavia shouted out to the source of the recent noise,hoping her friends would be the ones to respond.need to get back to my shop! I'll lead the way!"
The four mares ran back in the direction of Bon Bon's candy shop/home,running as fast as their hooves could carry them through the blizzard.
The very second they saw the store,their motivation grew,and they began running faster.
Lyra used her magic to swing the color-splattered door wide open,allowing entrance to each one of her friends.
As soon as they got inside,they began rubbing their arms,and breathing heavily,in an attempting to regain their body heat.
The night grew darker,and they fell asleep on the couch,making way for dreams about each other,and beautiful eye colors.

Octavia awoke, the smell of sweets and other candies and treats filling her nostrils. She looked to the pony on the couch next to her,and smiled,her friends sleeping face was adorable.
Vinyl woke,smelling the delicious candies that filled the floor below her. She took a moment,letting her brain remember where she was,and processing that Octavia was gone,and she had probably gotten up long ago. She was surprised to look at the clock,and see '8:30 ' in green,glowing numbers on the small screen. "Wow,I got up early.... And that smells good,whatever it is!" Vinyl walked to the kitchen,doing the same as her roommate,and noticing the clean paint that covered the walls.
The three mares walked downstairs,entering the colorful candy shop below.
Bon Bon came out of the kitchen,she wore a white apron with a few multi-colored stains on it,and a smile plastered on her face.
By the current time,two thirty,Octavia and Vinyl had to leave to their own home.
They soon reached their rented building,and walked inside to avoid the cold. It was 3:30 P.M and they hadn't both needed a shower desperately from all the sweating in their friends kitchen. "You can take your shower first Vinyl." Octavia offered,as an excuse so that she could be in peace for a moment alone.
Octavia stayed on the couch,staring at the newspaper article,saddened by her friends untruth.Maybe she didn't want me to know,maybe she didn't want me to come see her perform. Octavia sighed,and put the paper down on the coffee table,and walked to the black case that held her cello. On the top,it was decorated with a purple treble clef,matching her cutie mark.Maybe she wants to sneak out while I'm in the shower... Octavia thought,sighing. She put her Cello away,and trotted into the bathroom sadly.I can't believe she would do this. I wouldn't be surprised if she's already gone! Why would she lie to me..? I thought we were friends...

"Hey Octavia,grab your cello,it's time to go." Vinyl flashed a warm smile at Octavia,who was confused by her friends sudden statement.
The grey cellist frowned at her roommate. " What are you talking about...?" Octavia frowned at her friend,considering if she should tell her she knew about the concert.Unicorns Octavia thought with a slight roll of her eyes. "I mean you telling me it's time to go ,grabbing me with your magic,then parading me down the streets!" Octavia tossed an annoyed glance at her friend,though it soon grew cold and angry.
Vinyl kept quiet.
"Vinyl! I'm serious!!"
Still nothing.
Octavia sighed,knowing she wouldn't get the truth.was supposed to be my performance,both me and my friend,Octavia are gonna play for you tonight!" The words confused the crowds,even more so when they saw the cello in their beloved deejay's magic.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
"Vinyl,why didn't you just tell me you wanted me to play?" Octavia looked at her friend with curiosity.
"Octavia,wait...."mean by it...?"It was cold,and it had begun to snow. The pair sat in the park. She was looking at Vinyl,unable to believe that at one point,she found her annoying. That's when she looked looked at Vinyl. "You know,it's kinda beautiful,like you." She then began stuttering like a foal. Also when Octavia kissed her.
"I love you too."At one point in her life,Octavia had doubted love. It was an un-needed sentiment for her at the time. She believed all she need to do was to focus on her music. And she did. Until Vinyl came along and changed everything. Now,she had something she never did;Somepony she loved. She never thought she would hear the words that just came out of Viny's mouth.
I love you too.
Octavia and Vinyl:The good old days
Octavia ad Vinyl:The good old days
Octavia awoke to the fresh rays of sun flashing through the curtains of the room. To the other side of her had been a sleeping DJ,who had yet to awake. Ever since they made the decision to be a couple last night,they had pushed their two beds together so it was somewhat like a big bed for them both. She stood herself on all fours,blushing when her stomach growled. Once she heard the growling noise,she headed over to the small fridge in the small kitchen section of their living area.
Finished with her shower,Octavia brushed out her black mane,styling it in her traditional curved-around the neck style. She put her bowtie around her grey coat once again,slipping the white strip to to the back of her neck.that . And besides,why would you share a dorm with this...ruffian ?Tavi ?"you be?" The DJ's glare was like a dagger to the heart,and could easily intimidate any pony. Well,anypony except Octavia's mother.I'm Octavia's mother,Quaver Melody." The two continued to stare at each other in silence.not approve of you having a...mare friend. Go get yourself a nice stallion ,dear. You can do so much better." Octavia knew her mother wouldn't understand Vinyl. She was smarter than she appeared to be,and nopony could tell from the first impression. In fact,the DJ's personality even had Octavia fooled at first. "Mother,I..I'm a grown mare now. I can make my own decisions." Octavia huffed,her shoulders broad,and a confident look appearing on her face. Quaver looked as if she might explode. "Octavia!" She began. "Look what she has done to you." Quaver took a brief pause to show her authority. "You can't go off and get yourself a marefriend,let alone a roommate without telling me." Maybe she changed me,but it was about time I stopped acting like a prick. Now that I see you again,I realize how much everypony must have hated me before Vinyl came along. Octavia could only think what she wanted to say. She knew if she actually said what she thought her mother would immediately force her home and cut all her communication with Vinyl.
This had started when Octavia was young. Her mother had always been serious,and her stern additude hadn't even been topped when she kicked Octavia's father out into the streets for being an alcoholic,and constantly doing drugs. He had been a jerk,and Octavia was grateful he wasn't in her life.
Vinyl had been done getting ready for some time now. At the current moment,she was listening to the voices she could hear from outside the door. "I do not approve,Octavia. " It had come in a dull,flat tone. Quaver's voice had a proper accent,as did Octavia's,though nopony could quite make out what it had been.There has to be something can do..But what? If I say anything,Octavia's mother won't ever let us be together let alone contact one another. The DJ became lost in thought,she wanted to come up with a way she could make Octavia's mother see that she deserved Octavia. She knew wasn't a perfect pony,and that Octavia was out of her league,but that wouldn't stop her from letting her favorite cellist be happy.
The two mares spent the rest of the day attempting to figure out how to solve the issue. Yet,all their ideas were ones that wouldn't work;like tricking Quaver into thinking the dorm was haunted,or pretending to be gone whenever she came over.
Just then,Vinyl's face lit up. "I got it!" Octavia looked over,a some what relieved and expectant look on her face, "We need a unicorn who's good enough at magic to teleport my stuff for a little while,and I'll hide. Your mom will come here,think you dumped me and forced me to move out,and BAM! No more problems!"
"That just might work." She took a pause. Her smile soon faded,leaving a questionable frown in it's wake. "But where are we going to find somepony good enough at magic to do that? The only unicorn we know that well is Lyra,and she doesn't really study magic." The cellist thought on with Vinyl,thinking of where they could possibly find a talented unicorn who'd be willing to help them.
The trio chatted on for what seemed like hours before Vinyl and Octavia decided she was the perfect candidate for the job.
Quaver walked into the shared home. "So,where are that's DJ's things,dear? Finally decided to listen to me and leave her so you can lead a happy life?" Her mother spat,her tone flat dull and mocking.
"I'm glad to see I put you on the right path,I always knew I'd need to use my knowledge to help you out of a phase you may be going through in life,but I never would have thought it'd be this bad." Instead of welcoming Octavia to advise,the grey pony simply raised her reputation. Her voice was cocky,and she used it to self-glorify herself all the time from when Octavia still lived with her until now.
"Yes mother,I'm very sorry I went astray. I apologize for giving you a hard time." Octavia falsely apologized. She knew this plan would work. It had been an entire half-hour since Quaver set hoof in the door and already the plan had gone off without a hitch.This is going better than I thought. I might even be able to convince her to leave...I'll tell her that I'm sorry we don't have any food,and that I'm going to the market to get hat we need today. She'll think she's intruding on my personal plans,and she'll leave! problem solved!" She became enthusiastic in the end of her mental speech.It's for Vinyl,it's for Vinyl '. She was well aware by now that she had to go through with this,seeing as she was already in the middle of the master plan. Just then loud,ear-splitting shriek came from the kitchen.I'm disgusted with this,now tell me what it is scream.I'm sorry,Vinyl. She dropped it from her hoof with a slight wince,knowing that Vinyl would be upset with her for throwing her drink out.whatever this is here."
"Oh,Vinyl must have dropped them this morning when she left,she tripped on a rock...." Octavia tried.said I'm not going anywhere ." Octavia's voice was demanding. She stood her ground and wouldn't let anything take her away from Vinyl and the rest of her friends.said she isn't leaving." Bon Bon was next to speak. They all stared down Octavia's mother,not willing to let their friend go. "I'm not going to leave with you mother. I'm grown up now and I'm making my own decision to stay here,with my friends." The four young ponies nodded their heads and continued to glare at Quaver. Defeated,she simply sighed. "Octavia,dear. You know I only want what's best for you." Before she get another word out,the cellist cut her off. "And how is this what's best for me,mother?!" Octavia exclaimed fearlessly. She had her mother in such a bad position she would have to spit out the truth. For years,she had tried to talk to the shapely mare with little success. For once,she would get a real answer.dictionary ?!" The DJ yelled,stopping the shapely mare from babbling on with over one-hundred adjectives.why should I be more like you?" Octavia demanded. "Well because....Because...You should. I'm a good role-model and you simply have yet to notice it." Quaver stuttered her sentence and began tumbling over words that a foal could pronounce. All of the younger ponies suddenly began frowning and glaring once again. "You don't even have a reason!" Vinyl gawked. The DJ began advancing on Quaver,along with Lyra and Bon Bon. "You've been shaping me into you for all these years for no reason at all!" Octavia shouted,anger growing in her voice. "I can't believe you would do that! And to think I called you my mother." Octavia simply stood,unable to move. Tears began forming in her eyes. Immediately seeing their friend in distress,Lyra,Bon Bon,and Vinyl began running over to Octavia. They grey mare leaned into her friends as fresh tears streamed down her face,making her coat shimmer. Soon enough,Quaver trotted over to her daughter. "I'm so sorry,Octavia...I had no idea what I was doing. I thought it'd be a good thing if you ended up just like me,but..you need your own personality and I should let you have that. I thought it'd be good if you were like me,and without a reason I forced it on to you..." Her mother also had tears welling in her violet eyes now. The older mare began to trot over to her daughter. Octavia's friends reluctantly let go of her to make way for Quaver to wrap her hooves around Octavia. "I suppose with friends who are willing to go through all that trouble for you,I shouldn't be worried."
***
When Quaver returned,Derpy had come over too. Sleep tugged at all six ponies,so they simply decided to go to bed. Vinyl and Octavia had enough room on their floor to coat blankets and pillows down on it,and let Derpy,Bon Bon,Lyra and Quaver stay down there.

Octavia and Vinyl:The good old days
It was an overall warm day in Canterlot,and various ponies had either been hiding in shade,or grabbing something to drink. Octavia was too busy to even notice. Her current occupation had been organization. She was frantically rummaging through papers trying to make sure everything was in order. It was her first day of high school,and she needed to be organized for it. She then realized she already had everything she needed,for she had bought it all over a month ago,and packed it into her saddlebags quickly.
Vinyl was attempting to cram everything into one bag. She needed it all to packed before the fifteen minutes she had left to get to Canterlot were up. She had rented a small dorm to the school,because it was really far away from were she lived. Canterlot.
Octavia had began moving her things into her dorm last month. She was very organized,and everything needed to be just right. Even though the dorm was most likely going to be shared with some pony,she had to feel at home. But of course,she kept her belongings to her side of the dorm.
Suddenly,a pony with a blue mane and a white coat raided the dorm,and slammed the door opened,and then shutPARTY !?
The few things she had brought with her besides school supplies were her deejay equipment,a pair of glasses she was currently wearing,and a couple of music-themed posters.That gray mare must've brought the shampoo,towles and stuff. . Vinyl thought to herself,with a sigh.
The white mare trotted around,taking a glance at a paper she had been sent in the mail over the summer,that told her what locker number was hers,and what classes she had.
She found her locker,put a simple sticker with her cutie mark on the top of it,and trotted to where she should of found her classroom.
