Sounds Like Harmony

Chapter 2 : The Morning and Arrival

It was Saturday morning, finally. To Octavia, it felt like years. She woke up around 9 in the morning. Normally she was up earlier in the morning, before Celestia's sun was even up. But today was different. She was going to a concert.

She walked out into the living room to see Vinyl asleep on the couch. Rainbow Dash was sleeping on top of her, it almost seemed like she was trying to cuddle. She stayed the last two nights because the last storm blew out one of the walls in her cloud home . 'How a storm can even destroy a cloud wall is beyond me.' she thought as she recalled Rainbow Dash falling onto their back porch. "Wake up you two. I need this house nice and clean before we leave." She said.

Rainbow Dash woke up first and noticed where and how she was sleeping. She quickly got up which in turn caused Vinyl to fall off the couch. "Ow, how did I end up on the floor?" Vinyl asked when she realized where she was.

Octavia just smiled before heading to the bathroom. She wanted to tell Vinyl what she saw but thought it was best to leave it for now. She would use it to mess with Dash though.

When Octavia came out of the bathroom, she realized that Vinyl was asleep on the couch again. She smiled and looked at Dash. "You can still do that whip trick with your tail right?" She asked. It took Dash a few seconds to realize what she was being allowed to do. it was something that would wake up any heavy sleeper.

Rainbow Dash walked up to the couch and made a few experimental movements with her tail. She moved her tail towards Vinyl and quickly withdrew it, making a loud snapping sound. And just like a whip, it broke the sound barrier.

Thus, the Sonic-Miniboom.

Vinyl was wide awake at the moment it went off. She got so scared so fast, she accidentally had a small surge that turned their one couch into three.

Octavia was smiling while holding a hoof in front of her face to hide her small laughter. "I should ask you to do that more often, Dash." She said before giggling some more. Vinyl just glared at her before walking to the bathroom. While Vinyl took a shower, Octavia took the chance to shoo Dash out of the door. After that, she started cleaning.

Later, Octavia was finishing with the kitchen while Vinyl was finishing up the bathroom. "Well, that should be everything." Octavia said while looking around the sparkling house. She looked at the clock to see that it was around 4:30. "We should get ready to leave. It is getting late and I don’t like being late for any sort of event." She added as she saw her roommate shake her head like crazy.

"No problem Tavi. Since we are VIP, we can get in before the doors even open. How about we get going now and raid the bar before anypony else gets there!" Vinyl said right before there was a knock at the door. They both looked at the front door only to be surprised by a familiar pink pony sticking her head in through the mail slot.

"Hey guys! Are you excited? Cause I'm excited! I've never been more excited! Well, except for that time when Twilight first came to Ponyville and I was all like GASP!" Pinkie said before a purple alicorn teleported in and covered her mouth.

Vinyl just started to shake her head like crazy again and finally stopped. Nopony asked if she was alright. All in the room knew that it was how she styled her hair. Octavia was the first to speak. "Yes, well, if we are ready, shall we depart?" she asked as she pulled open the door. she couldn't help but chuckle as she watched Pinkie try to get out of the mail slot.

As they walked up to the VIP entrance they noticed that the guards were different from the normal Bouncers that usually stood outside. Vinyl was the first to speak. "Well, you two are different." They were indeed 'different'.

One was an earth pony. He had a light green coat with a lightish red spikey mane with black tips. His eyes were purple like freshly bloomed lavender. His cutie mark was an axe. His name tag said 'Axel Regen'. He just gave a small grunt before taking a drag off his smoke.

The other wasn't a pony. she was a Griffon. she looked much like Gilda, except with red eyes and grey head feathers that tapered to an ocean blue at the tips. Her name tag said Cinaria and she had the VIP list for the night. "Can I help you?" she asked. She seemed like the kind that would have no problem throwing you out very harshly.

Octavia walked up and presented her and Vinyl's passes. "One Octavia and one Vinyl should be on the VIP list." She said. Griffon checked her clipboard then nodded. She then decided to look at Twilight and Pinkie.

Twilight took the chance to do the one thing she hated doing most. using her princess stature to get somewhere. "Princess Twilight Sparkle requesting access for myself and one guest for instant VIP under Club Underground Initiative 72b paragraph 5." she said with a matter of fact tone.

Cinaria had a very thoughtful face on. she didn't remember the full CUI as she was still new. Axel on the other hoof, was a veteran. "Your credentials and request are approved. Enjoy the show." he said as he handed them their passes.

Twilight thanked them and the four ponies entered the theater. "So who is all performing?" Twilight asked as they looked for their VIP spot.

Octavia was deep in thought for a moment. They found their desired VIP spot and entered. Luckily, there was a poster showing the bands that was performing before the mains show. "Lets see. It starts with 'Hammerstall', then it will be 'Blind Stallion', A Michael Jackson cover band, then a song from a 'DJ-Pl4gu3'. After all that, DJ-HaRm0ny will perform." Vinyl said as she read the list.

"Michael Jackson? interesting. I guess the writer couldn't think of a pony like name. Eh, oh well." Pinkie said. The others just looked at her with confused looks. they eventually disregarded it as normal Pinkie randomness.

Octavia never understood Pinkie and didn’t dare to try. "Yes, well, lets just get some food and beverages and enjoy the show, shall we?"
