Young Octavia sat in the front row next to her father, staring in awe at her mother gracefully singing her lungs out. She wished to one day be in the spotlight like her mother. So Octavia talked to her mother about singing lessons, her mother didn't hesitate and said yes. She would do anything to have her daughter fulfill her mothers destiny and be just as good at it then herself. But after the first lesson Octavia quit. Octavia was 12 that she found her special talent. but her mother kept questioning her about singing, but never got a clear answer. But this time was different she wasn't questioning her she was admitting to her. ''Octavia. You know i'm not gonna live forever. And now i'm barley gonna live at all.'' ''What do you mean mother?" Octavia said faintly crying. "I'm dying my sweet Tavia. And I wont see you for a while." "NO!" Octavia screamed! Her mother comforted her with her sweet, soft and loving voice. "Octavia, dear, I didn't say i was leaving now. I just want you to know that no matter what happens, be my beautiful,strong and passionate Octavia I know and love. Ok?" "Ok." Octavia said softly. As Octavia layed in her bed she realized at any given second, her whole life could change. As she rested upon that thought she remembered that her father would protect her no matter what. The next morning Octavia put on her best bow tie and collar, and headed down stairs for breakfast. She realized that her father had already left for his business trip to Fillydephia. Octavia and her mother sat for some pancakes and berries. Octavia couldn't stop smiling knowing that she was applying for ''Celestia's School for Gifted Musicians'' As soon as her last strawberry was gone she rushed up stairs to take her paper and video test. Then she slipped her saddle bag on and trotted to the castle. ''Huh, 2 miles to the castle should be enough to work off all that syrup, right?" She dropped off her test and her video tape and sat in the waiting room. A moment later thee Princess Celestia stepped into the room and congratulated her for being accepted. Octavia bowed before the princess very quickly then hugged her tightly said her thank you, goodbye and then ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She rushed into the house to see her mother sleeping. She went to go wake her up. The first shake didn't work but Octavia didn't think anything of it. Then the 3rd, then the 4th. Octavia burst out in tears. And quickly ran to the phone and dialed 911.
