Miss Octavia! Wonderful preformance, may I have a word?

She noticed me, and decided to come down the stairs to talk to me. "Hello Miss..." She paused, not knowing my name.

Oh, sorry, my name's Toola Roola.

"Miss Toola, how may I be of assistance to you?" She eyed me waringly, as if expecting a disguise to fall right off.

Well, I have some questions for you, if you'd be willing to answer.

She smiled graciously, as if this was the first time she heard the offer, "Well, I suppose since the orchestra's done for tonight. What do you want to know?"

Well, I want to know, who is Octavia? And how did she get her cutie mark?

She seemed surprised at the questions but answered them, "Well, I was growing up in Canterlot when I got my cutie mark. For our Fillygarden musical, I was asked to be in the band. At first I declined, saying that I prefered acting to playing, but when they persisted, I decided to give it a go. The night of the preformance, I outshined the whole band, and at the end, I saw this little beauty" She gestures to her cutie mark, "I moved her to Ponyville not long after the Gala incident" She seemed to shiver unwillingly.

Ah, yes, I recall that. So, how do you feel, living in Ponyville now with all the craziest things happening?

She fidgeted a bit before replying, "Well, it took a while to adjust. Especially since I moved here during the Cutie Pox outbreak. After that, I was able to look out the window and not panic about what I saw. Although asertive Fluttershy gave me quite a shock. But, I'd say I feel fine about living in Ponyville."

It also come to my attention that you bear a striking resemblance to Pinkie Pie's sister from her youth. Is it true that you're her sister?

She stuttered for a moment, "I, I, yes. It's true, though Mom and Dad don't want her to know. They're just glad I went into something that requires actual skill. I'm actually really surprised it took anypony this long to figure it out, I mean if you look at the pictures from back then, and at me now, it's kinda obvious. So, now you know my real name is Inkie Cian Pie. Oh, and just so that you don't try and go hunting for her, Blinkie is somewhere in Las Pegasus, last I heard."

Thank you for your story, Miss Octavia, it really was an eyeopene.r

"And thank you, Miss Toola Roola for caring about what I had to say. And remember, don't tell Pinkie."

And I left on that happy note.
