Octavia walked down the halls of Ponyville high school. She could hear other mares talking about the up and coming DJ PON-3. It was silly to hope that one day you'll actually meat her up close and personal. If you did then you where lucky, if you didn't then you where just like the rest of us.
"Her music isn't even that good to be honest." Octavia said to Lyra as they walked to their lockers.
"Not that good?! Did you even listen to her new album?" Lyra smiled at her friend and put her stuff in her locker.
Lyra was one of Octavia's closest friends. They've known each other since they where seven years old and in band camp. Actually the DJ her self was in the same band camp they where in. They became friends but, back then she went by Vinyl, she lived in Cantorlot and Lyra and Octavia lived in Ponyville.
"I didn't get pass the first lyric of that garbage. Who starts a song off with 'I got to hit that!'? Not to mention the tune was loud and clearly electronic. What happened to the old fashion was of things? Is it really that hard to pick up a guitar once in your life? That's why-"
"I know, I know that's why you like classical music."
"And don't you ever forget it."
The bell rung and the girls headed off to class. By the end of the day Lyra's brain was cooking up a storm. She thought that maybe. If she could get Octavia to see that Vinyl still remembered them then maybe she would give her music another try. So that Saturday night Lyra sunk out her house to see DJ PON-3's concert in Manehatten. She bought backstage passes for it the day they went on sale two months ago. She saved up her money for a two way train ride and hoped to be back before sunrise.
Getting off the train Lyra followed the crowed of teenagers to the Golden Theater where all the big stars perform. When she got backstage she showed her pass to the guards. Not bothering to actually see the show, though it was loud enough to hear, Lyra waited to be first in line to meet Vinyl in person.
She was going to loose it f they asked for a third encore, that's when she saw her walking down the hall.
"Why aren't you quite the early bird." Vinyl said walking up to her. "Hey? Haven't I seen you before?"
Lyra got up excitedly. "Yes! Actually, you do. You see when we where seven you went to the same band camp as us."
"Us?"
Lyra took out a photo of her an Octavia. "My friend, Octavia. She was the one who you put gum in her tuba when she was still figuring out her talent. She plays the violin, viola, ad the cello now."
Vinyl laughed. "Well good she was terrible at the tuba. Is she still...?"
"Uptight? Very." They both laughed and Vinyl took the picture and signed it.
To my old friends Layback Lyra and Uptight Octi ;)
<3 DJ P0N-3 Vinyl Scratch
The next day Lyra shoved the picture in Octavia's face. "Boom!"
"What's this?" She took the picture a read it.
"This is a signed picture from Vinyl Scratch."
Octavia stared at her confused. "And what does this prove?"
"That she still remembers us."
"She called me uptight."
"She wasn't lying either but, she also put a winkie face and a heart."
"This doesn't mean I'm gonna listen to her music."
Lyra pouted but, it didn't work on Octavia. Later that day Lyra went to Octavia's house to do homework. Of course she had to watch PMTV, Pony Music Television, news first.
"Where suppose to be doing homework." Octavia objected.
"I know but, Vinyl's gonna be on today and I think her and Neon are finally gonna become a real couple."
"Ugh! Not this again. If you know that Vinly doesn't like him that way then why do you still root for them?" She put down a tray of cookies next to their tea.
"I only do it because everyone else does but..." She leaned in to Octavia's ear. "I'm secretly rooting for you two."
"Me and Vinyl?! We don't even know each other well, not personally anyway. It was a longtime ago."
"Shh! It's starting."
/Before we start Vinyl there's something I wanna do./ Neon Lights got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. /Will you~/
/No man! I mean I can't I love her to much./ Lyra could see that Vinyl was obviously acting so she didn't seem like a jerk on TV.
The press moved in closer. /Who's her?/
Vinyl looked nervous she cleared her throat. /Well umm...her name is....Octavia!/
Octavia spit out her tea. "What?!"
/Yeah she's an earth pony and a little younger than I am. We met in band camp and have been close ever since. We've only been dating for.....a year and she lives alone. She goes to Ponyville high school and I was actually thinking of taking time off of my music to spend time with her./
"Lyra what did you do!?" Octavia turned off the TV and slammed the remote on the table.
"Nothing! She probably needed a cover and used you. I think she went a little too far though."
"A little! You know what, it's fine. She'll get my number some how and we'll figure this out. I mean it's not like she's actually gonna come to my home with a bouquet of flowers right, right?!"
Lyra smiled nervously. "Um....you know this was prerecorded right? It's not live."
Then there was a knock on the door and when Octavia went to open it Vinyl was right there. She didn't have to flowers but, she was there.
"Heeyy Octi." She said smiling.
"Don't you hey Octi me? What the hell was that I saw on TV just now?"
"I'm sorry but, your friend Lyra showed me a picture and we went to band camp soooo..."
"So you thought it was okay to use me as your excuse to get out of a marriage."
"I didn't want to sound like a jerk on TV but, don't worry I have it all figured out."
"Okay fine, let's play pretend! So we're dating then what? I can't keep up a lie for the rest of my life and since you said we've been dating for a year already."
"After a month or two we'll stage a break up. You'll say the fame lifestyle wasn't for you."
"Or I can say your an idiot and I prefer smarter ponies."
Lyra giggled at their bickering. "You two sound like an old married couple."
Octavia blushed. "We do not!"
"It'll be fun Tavi come on what do you say?" Vinyl nudged her a bit.
"Don't call me Tavi and don't call me Octi. My name is Octavia Treble Melody so say it loud and proud."
Vinyl laughed. "Treble as in the music note?"
"And her cutie mark." Lyra pointed out. "Uh oh, looks like she's mad. We gotta run Vinyl." Lyra said grabbing Vinyl's hoof.
"I'll show you guys angry!" A red aura glowed around Octavia as she chased after Vinyl and Lyra.
