Sounds Like Harmony
Chapter 1 - The Package
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIt was a beautiful day outside in Ponyville. the weather team really had outdone themselves. Octavia Melody was sitting at the kitchen table, enjoying a quiet breakfast with Vinyl Scratch. "So Tavi, what's on your to-do list for today?" Vinyl asked as she finished her toast. Before Octavia could reply, there was a knock at the door. "Come in!!" Vinyl yelled.
They heard the door open. "Hey guys, I got your mail." It was Derpy, the town's mail mare. She may have been a klutz due to her crossed eyes, but she was still regarded as the best Ponyville had to offer. Mostly because she was the only Pegasus willing to take the job.
"We are in the kitchen." Vinyl yelled. A moment later Derpy was with them. "Want a muffin?" Vinyl asked. Before she knew it, Derpy was drooling. "I'll take that as a yes." Vinyl handed her the muffin while Derpy deposited their mail onto the table.
After about an hour, they heard another knock at the door. "Come in!" Octavia yelled. Derpy came walking into the house and found them in the living room. "Forgot to deliver something, or were you hoping for another one of my muffins?" Octavia asked.
"Both?" Derpy asked. She could never resist a muffin. "But first and foremost. I do have a package for you Octavia. Labeled 'Very Important First Class: Please Deliver Immediately'. I just need you to sign for it, then we will talk about muffins." She said as she pulled out a clip board and put the box on the table.
After it was signed for and Derpy was sent off with some muffins, Octavia went back to the living room to see Vinyl poking the box with a stick. "Vinyl, darling, what are you doing?" Octavia asked as she took the box away. She heard Vinyl say something about being bored and thought best to ignore it.
"So who's it from?" Vinyl asked. She watched as Octavia pulled out a couple of backstage passes from the box. They were for a show that Saturday night. There was also a letter.
"No name or return address. It seems to be harmless enough. Maybe it's one of your fans just trying to impress you." Octavia said. She opened the letter and started reading.
Dearest Octavia,
You and one Vinyl Scratch are personally invited to come to my show this Saturday at the Ponyville Theater. The passes will get you any seats you desire as well as food and drinks on the house. After the show, I would like to talk to the both of you about a musical endeavor in the making.
Hope to see you there!
Signed
DJ-HaRm0ny
Octavia just read and re-read the letter to make sure it wasn't some sort of joke. Once she realized that it was real, she had one of the biggest smiles on her face. Vinyl just thought before speaking. "Hm, DJ-HaRm0ny. Why does that sound familiar?" Vinyl scratched her head before shrugging and going to the bathroom.
Octavia waited until she heard the water running for the shower. She then grabbed a piece of paper and started writing a letter.
Twilight,
I just got a letter from HaRm0ny. he will be performing at the Ponyville Theater this Saturday. Vinyl and I have backstage passes but I'm pretty sure you could get in to with the fact that you’re a princess. I know you don't like using your title to get what you want but I know that you will want to see him again.
Hope to see you there
Octavia.
As soon as she finished, she quickly, yet neatly, folded it and stuck it in an envelope. "Pinkie! Front and center!" Octavia yelled. within moments, the pink party pony was sitting in front of her with an army like helmet on. Pinkie was kicked out of the house the night before because Mr. and Mrs. Cake wanted some "Alone Time". "Pinkie Pie, reporting for duty!" she said in a joking way. Octavia showed her the envelope.
"I need this delivered to Twilight right away. Think you can do it?" she asked.
"I don’t think I can do it. I know I can do it. And honestly, I don’t really think much at all." Pinkie said as she saluted, grabbed the letter, and ran out the door. Octavia looked back at the passes.
"Well my friend. It seems that you will be in for quite a surprise. And I look forward to working with you."
Meanwhile: At the Library.
"Twilight!" Pinkie yelled as she walked into the Library. "I got a letter for you from Octavia." Twilight came into the room and grabbed the letter in her magic.
"Thank you Pinkie, you are dismissed." she said as she waved off the saluting party mare. Pinkie bounced out of the Library, her mission complete. Twilight opened the envelope and read the letter. Several times. Twilight's eyes went wide. "OHMYGOSH! DJ-HaRm0ny is coming to town! I missed him so much. I wonder if he would still recognize me?" Twilight said to no one.
Little did she know that there was an eavesdropping little dragon just up the stairs. "Great, I'll never hear the end of this. He was a nice guy but he just wasn't my type of person. He loved parties too much. Oh well. Back to work." he said as he walked back upstairs.
Who is DJ-HaRm0ny? What is the small dragons name? Did anypony catch the name related joke I made?
All will be revealed in the next chapter of: Sounds Like Harmony.
