A different take on Octavia that I thought of.

Octavia is a member of the Royal Guard as a musician for the various balls and formal events they hold. A position that is sought after for the frequency it is requested by the Princesses. Octavia has just been promoted to Commanding Officer of the ensemble and is going out to celebrate. At a nightclub in Canterlot she will meet an old rival and friend. Things will quickly spin out of her control as feelings arise, subordinates laugh, and alcohol flows. All underneath the neon lights and thumping bass.
