Love as sweet as music

I feel a wave crash and bumb the boat making me jolt awake in the early morning's dusk,my now dark blue homer shirt wet and clinging to my chest My head felt like it was ready to explode from the hangover due to the night before of drowning my sorrows, I felt sick to my stomach. "Ehh, The boats rocking isn't helping...wait...rocking?" I mutter to myself before snapping up on my feet and going to the edge of the boat to see I was surrounded by water. "What the hell? How did I get out here? This isn't the lake?" I question myself wondering if this was the lake and if I just got turnef around.

"M-must be due to last nights storm or something." I mutter remembering the rain before I blacked out. I get to the wheel and flick on the motor,relived to hear it still running I went off to locate any land.

After what felt like a couple hours no land was in sight as I sit back in my seat hopeing to see the trees from the lake peak over the horizen. After a while more I sighed and looked through my storage hoping I packed food, I didn't.

"Damn it!" I grumble slamming the case shut. "Oh I just had to sink money into this damn boat, and this damn forsaken ring!" I say as I sit on the floor of the boat. "Oh, it's not working out, let me go fuck some douchè!" I mimic in a high voice angerly.

I sigh and dropping my head. "First fired, then cheated on/broke up with, now in the middle of a lake or something lost with no food and no means of contacting anyone..." I mutter before hearing the engine die. "And out of gas....COME ON GIVE ME A BREAK!" I yell to the heavens. I place my hands over my face wondering what I did to deserve this.

I sat on the boat,drifting with where ever the waves take me. I feel the a sudden bumb as i feel the boat hit something lightly. I peak over the edge and juml up happy for what I see. "YES! Finally a dock!" I happily yell as I quickly grab some rope and tie the boat off and hope onto the wooden dock. I look up to see all the buildings and crates, ahead was a city with tall buildings that tickled the neather regions of the heavens.

"...what the hell?" I asked confused as to if I'm dreaming or if there was a city on the other side of the lake. I shake off all those thoughts as I hear my stomach growl at me begging for food.

I start walking towards the city glancing around surprised to see no one in site, even if its early in the morning I would have seen Someone. I spy a small building lit by neon lights above the stairwell to the door leading to this dive saying; 'Best hay burgers!'And 'Apple Jack's Cider in stock!'

"Hay burgers? Must be slang for something..." I say as I slowly walk down the stairs and approach the heavy wooden door.

The sound of soft music pentrated through the door, a soft tone of a cello and a female with a posh british accent singing, it sounded...elegant. "what kind of place has music like this?" I ask myself as I place my hand on the brass door knob and turned it slowly as I pushed the door with all my strength, wincing all the way.

"What the hay is that?" I hear a drunk slur. I open my eyes to see a bar full of patrons...but not human, all in the room were ponies, all a different color, some red,some green,some blue,etc.

I stood there and looked around more shocked to see some were unicorns and pegasi, and a grey pony wearing a pink bowtie with a purple music note on her flank staring at me wide eyed (as was everypony else) holding the cello and its bow.

"Uh...ok where's aschton kutcher?" I say nervously laughing.

"Who the hay is that? -hic-" a magenta pony asked drinking out of a wine glass.

"Y-you just talked!?" I inquired shocked.

"We all kinda do,bub." A burly stallion stated as he took a swig out of a mug.

"I've gotta stop drinking..." I think. "So...uh...where am I?" I asked.

"The stumblin stallion, In manehatten, the greatest city in all of equestria!" The magenta pony said as she fell off her seat.

"M-manehatten?equestria? Uh....that still in North America?" I asked concerned.

"North where?" The stallion asked.

I froze. "W-whaaa?" I try to ask before I feel my knees get weak, my body figured it out before I did, I was in a new world, a world of brightly colored talking ponies.

The next thing I knew I fainted from shock and woke up on a hard wooden floor surrounded by said ponies. "You ok,sir?" Asked the gray pony.

I sit up pale as a sheet. "Y-yeah...I-I just need fresh air..." I softly utter trying to stand up.

"Sir, please sit for a bit at least!" She insisted as she gently nudged me to a chair.

"Octavia, if the...uh...thing, wants to leave let him, I don't need him in the bar." He said gruffly.

"He is obvoiusly lost and confused! Let him sit for a while." She demanded glaring at him.

He shook his head and pointed his hoof at the door. "Animals go outside,no execption."

"Fine, then i'll leave too!" She yelled at him as he shrugged. "Come on sir lets get out of here." She said to me picking up her cello case in her teeth and stomping out angerly.

I stand there shocked and quickly follow her out. "Uh...thanks miss...?" I asked curiously.

She put the case down and looked at me with her purple eyes. "You may call me octavia, and what is your name sir?" She asked presenting her hoof.

"W-Willaim Willaim Matthews." I introduce myself as I shake her hoof.

"Very good name." She said smiling before going back to her cello case.

"You want me to carry that?" I asked approaching the case.

"Yes,thank you sir, such a gentlecolt." She said as I picked it up in my hand.

"That's a odd way to carry it? Oh well, how about we go and drop that off at my hotel room? We can probably talk more over brunch?" She asked sweetly.

"Yeah, sounds good to me I suppose..." I answer as I start walking with her, The mare named 'Octavia'.
