"Well that's good let me hear how you play and then I'll decide if your up for the Job or not" Hot Joe said.

Octavia yawned as she woke up.

Octavia sat up in the bed and looked around wondering how she got in to the bed.

"Vinyl?" Octavia asked looking besides here no one was there.

"This isn't like Vinyl to be out of bed this earlier" Octavia thought to herself.

Octavia start worrying and wondering if she even came home last night.

Octavia went to the kitchen and was in shock to find Vinyl making her breakfast.

"Morning Tavia making your favorite eggs,biscuits and a daisy salad" Vinyl said putting everything she just named on to the table.

"Wow thanks Vinyl" Octavia said smiling as she sat down.

"And your the only pony who I will ever cook for" Vinyl said as she nuzzled Octavia.

Octavia blushes and nuzzled back.

"You need a big breakfast anyway for your first practice today" Vinyl said.

Octavia stopped nuzzling Vinyl and her jaw dropped as she looked at the clock.

"I have to go Vinyl before I'm late!" Octavia said running into Vinyl and Her's room grabbing her bass and despairing out the door.

"No kiss?" Vinyl asked as Octavia passed her on the way out the door.

"Fine just a quick kiss" Octavia said as she stopped and kissed Vinyl on the lips for a few seconds before she broke the kiss and ran off.

"Bye Vinyl I'll be back later" Octavia said as she ran straight for the studio.

"Bye" Vinyl said.

"Man she is a good kisser when she gets home she's mine!" Vinyl thought to herself as she closed the door.

-Few minutes later-

Octavia burst into the studio doors then she ran straight to the room she was in yesterday.

"Sorry if I'm late" Octavia said as she came in the room.

"Your not late its only 9:25 your kinda early anyway the others are waiting in the practice room" Hot Joe said leading her out the room.

"The room were about to go to is the room you come in every morning alright"? Hot Joe said.

"Yes Sir" Octavia said.

"Its just Hot Joe" Hot Joe teased as he opened the door that had the number on it "#350".

Hot Joe and Octavia walk in to the room and Joe closed the door behind them.

"Hey team here is your new bass player" Hot Joe said moving out of Octavia's way so she could see.

A white stallion walked to Octavia and was about to say something before Hot Joe cut him.

"This Flex the Saxophone player of the group" Hot Joe said.
