Good? Bad? Octavia didn't know anymore!! Why must her mother be such a confusing mare? Now they were stuck with both their families. Octavia didn't know how to react. Well first she hyperventilated, making a huge scene after nearly leaping ten feet into the air from the voice. First things had been alright, Berry Punch's family was here, they were sorta talking, though it was clear they were a little uncomfortable, and Berry didn't enjoy them much, clearly wanting them gone. Though they didn't want to just force them out and be rude, so for now the new couple dealt with it, listening to the parents talk, though Octavia wasn't paying much attention until the sharp, loud voice go her mother followed by the pounding on the door.

For an old granny, her mother still had a whole lotta fight left inside her. Though she usually talked like that, her mother almost always yelled, sometimes she didn't know of it was of anger or her just talking normally. Since she couldn't hear well, or see well, that's just how she talked sometimes! Though it scared her in this situation. Hearing another pounding, before her mother ended up breaking the door, she got up and ran, opening the door before she could yell again. "M-Mother! I... It's good to uh see you again!" Octavia mumbled, running a hoof nervously through her mane.

Her mother was old, a pony could tell that from just looking at her. Smaller than an average mare, clutching to a cane, wrinkly pruned skin, fake teeth that were a bit too big for her, gray and white streaked mane and tail, reading glasses always worn, with hearing aids too. She was grey furred like Octavia, mane used to be black, with still lovely blue eyes. She looked frail, as if a single push would kill her. Though she certainly wasn't frail at all! "Shush you... You know why I'm here. The ah, newspaper came by not to long ago... Any idea who I happened to see getting dragged by this marefriend I've never heard of, right after having sex? People in Canterlot congratulate me. Oh... Yay my daughters dating somepony, but then goes out, gets drunk, makes the newspaper, has sex, and makes it again!! Octavia Melody you know better then to do this.You are so very lucky I love you, or else you'd be getting a cane over the head! Now I came here to meet this mare who holds my fillies heart. Yet I swear to Luna and Celestia if you get on that front page one more time and its about you and explicit details, you'll be hearing it from me young mare!! Now let me inside, me and this Berry have some talking to do."

Her mother let herself inside the house, blinking a few times, looking around. She walked slowly, but refused to ask Octavia for her help with walking but wouldn't dare ask her for it. Her mother hated to ask for help. The crane shook as she moved, sitting herself down right next to her marefriend, not even giving the other family a glance. "Now... Now Octavia... I presume this is... Berry Punches family? You all head on into the dining room to speak, I need a little one on one talk with this young' un here about my daughter. You all can talk about whatever you feel like, but me and this mare have a lot of talking to do right now. Octavia you lead them into the dining room, I saw it when I walked in..." Her mother said to her, she spoke a little slow, raspy like. She nodded, coughing nervously. "Er... Well alright... Just... Follow me this was then..." Having not sat down yet, she spun around and headed into the dining room, the family following her behind. "Oh... This is gonna be oh so much fun.." She mumbled under her breath.

Once they were all sat, the talking began. At first... No pony said anything, but Berry's mother spoke first. "So... Where'd you and Berry Punch meet? Do you love her?" The last part was added very nervously, they all looked nervous.

"Where did I meet her? My friend Vinyl brought me to a bar, well more forced is a better word for that, and I stumbled across her. Un be knowing to me we'd been set up on a blind date. We talked for a while, drank... And the two go us fell in love... Do I love her? I love Berry with every ounce of my heart. She's so sweet, she's so kind, loving, caring, funny, even a good cook! I couldn't ask for a better mare then her. I know she isn't so fond of you, and I've heard what happened when she was young, and you all are t exactly the best in my opinion. The fact you treated her like that is horrible, a mother and father should never do that. Now, what more do you want to know? I have until my mother is done speaking with her, which will take a bit no doubt."

"We are all just... Curious here. Is your cello here? We'd love to hear a song or something, or to get at least an autograph from the best cello player in Equestrian history! We'd be really grateful."

"I... Er well no. My cello is at mine and Vinyls place, it won't be here for days most likely so I can't really play a song without a cello. I don't give out autographs for free sorry, but I can not give either of those right now."

"You... Know what? We are gonna just be... Fully clear with you. We ah... Would like for you to date our... Other daughter. To live Sugh her in her canterlot home. She is single too, a true lover of the cello! Berry Punch doesn't need you, she just needs some drinks and you'll be all forgotten about. She's not good enough for you, Ponyville mare, the town drunk no doubt, dating a classy cello mare, the Octavia Melody. You deserve better then her Octavia, and our daughter is a loyal lover who will treasure you deeply... So? What do you say? Ready to dump our drink pathetic mistake for our better daughter?" The father asked.

Octavia's body was filled with fury in seconds. The mares front legs shook, she blinked in confusion, expecting it to not be true, before it was... Confirmed inside of her. She shook her head angrily, throwing an angry glance. "You... Come into our... House... And you ask... For me to leave the mare I love... For you other daughter?! Your lucky your Berry's Family!! But she will not argue with me on this decision!! GET out!! Now!! All of you out of this house right now or I swear I'll hit you so hard you won't see next week!! OUT!! Now!! Get out of this house and don't you all dare to come back!! Leave now!!" Octavia yelled the last part, stomping a hoof on the ground and glaring at them angrily. "GET OUT!!"

They fled from her like mice running from a cat, turning, trembling, fleeing the house fast as Berry Punch bolted into the dining room, seeing her standing there, panting, while the door lay wide open from her parents bolting out as fast as they could, clearly taking her threats seriously.

"Octavia?!? What happened?!"

She turned and sighed out angrily, trying to calm down from this. How dare they come inside this house and try to break up her and Berry!! "Your parents tried to break us up!! They wanted me to go out with your sister!" Octavia responded, feeling their muzzles brushing as Berry Punch nuzzled her, wrapping her front legs around her. "Shh... Shh calm down Octavia calm down... It's okay it's okay.. My families gone... Deep breaths, sit down." She nodded, sitting down as she calmed down, never so angry in her life! That family was bad, just like Berry Punch had said.

It took about a minute before she sighed once more. "I just can't believe they did that though... I mean they came over then say your not good enough for me. It's just... Ignorant! You just like... Don't do that... Ugh enough about them how'd it go with my mother? She didn't chew you out or be too rough now did she?" Berry chuckled as she said that, rolling her eyes.

"Oh she fell asleep like two minutes ago. She just talked with me a bit about you, bout... Other things. But it wasn't long. She seemed really sweet until it came to the topic of you... Look how about since she's sleeping we go hit the bar or stop by vinyls? I do, and I know you do after that, want a little cooling down."
