Twilight, thanks to her new royalty, has been in Canterlot very often recently. In fact, for the past two months she hasn't been able to make the trip to Ponyville.

Though, she has wrote them all plenty, her friends all want to see her. With this thought, the five close friends head out to surprise the new princess.

However, they may very well end up to be the ones who get surprised.

The mane six are obviously in here but I cannot put that tag up thanks to limitations.

Twilight Sparkle loves concert season, and it's not because of the music.

Rainbow Dash has always been notoriously lazy, but when their friend can't seem to keep awake for a single day the rest of the mane six take it into their own hooves to discover what's wrong with her. Is she just lazy? Or is there more to Dash's life than they know? And can they handle this other part of her?

With a broken hoof and only a day left to record her latest piece, Octavia must rely on her roommate to assist her in playing.

Assist her in an awkwardly intimate half-embrace, that is.

A slightly belated birthday present for Not Enough Coffee. Special thanks to Ceffyl Dwr for offering me the idea and helping me out with pre-reading, legend as always.

Octavia's had a rough day today. Luckily her ever cheerful marefriend is there to turn a bad day into a good evening.

It's a normal day in Ponyville, which means that disaster has struck. Octavia would prefer to avoid such things, but unfortunately she has a wedding to play for. She'll need Vinyl's help to make it on time. That might not necessarily help.

A friend of mine wanted to see how Vinyl and Octavia might've acted if Vinyl actually had dialogue, and since it's fun to write the duo, I figured I'd give it a shot.

Vinyl tells Octavia about the consequences of eating a pineapple. Tavi doesn't buy it. Rated Teen for mild sexual references.

Vinyl Scratch lands the biggest gig she's ever played, but things quickly head south when she meets Octavia. Feeling the need to pay her back for her trouble, Octavia offers money, but Vinyl only accepts friendship.

Octavia's performance at the wedding of Princess Cadence was cancelled, and her ensemble was replaced by a mysterious DJ! When she goes to investigate, she discovers a world of music she never imagined from the turntables of Vinyl Scratch. She takes a chance and follows the DJ back to her home in Ponyville, and begins a journey full of music, love, laughs, some tears (maybe?), and... an evil plot!? What?

Let's read along, shall we? But brace yourself... it's gonna take a while.

Each chapter comes with a one-panel comic in the author's notes, drawn by yours truly!

Octavia has had enough. An insidious plague of tacky, hacked together electronic noise is spreading over Equestria, crushing culture and good taste as it passes. Well, at any rate it's really loud and annoying and the guy upstairs just won't turn the freakin' volume down.

Desperate to show the citizens of Canterlot the error of their ways, 'Tavi decides the only way to defeat electronica is from within. But for that, she must, y'know, actually be 'within'. And that means learning a few new instruments.

Oh yeah, and Lyra 'helps' about as much as she usually does.
