Octavia looked around the lunchroom for somewhere to sit. She was hoping to have better luck finding a seat than yesterday, where she had such a "sparkling" conversation with the lunch lady. She silently examined the tables and people sitting there.
"Tavi!" a voice called to her. Octavia turned around to a very unique group where Vinyl Scratch sat. Vinyl then gestured for Octavia to come over. Octavia sighed and faked a smile before finally sitting down.
"Hey, Tavi!" Vinyl greeted. Octavia nodded and made a subtle wave. The others at the table stared at the newcomer and whispered amongst themselves, then put on fake smiles so she wouldn't get suspicious.
"Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?" Octavia inquired. Vinyl chuckled at her own mistake.
"Sorry 'bout that." she grinned sheepishly.
"This is Ditzy Doo," Vinyl stated, "but we call her Derpy." Derpy waved excitedly to Octavia, who couldn't help but stare at her crossed amber eyes. And waved shyly back, which was the only response she could think of. Her eyes then averted to the large amount of muffns on Derpy's lunch tray.
"That's a lot of muffins." Octavia commented.
"What do you mean?" Derpy asked. There was a series of awkward stares after that. Octavia chuckled nervously then looked to Vinyl for help and cleared her throat.
"This is Lyra Heartstrings." Vinyl added. She leaned to Octavia and whispered, "she's REALLY into ponies." Then made a spiral movement with her finger and crossed her eyes.
"I'm not deaf you know." Lyra sighed. Vinyl made the "crazy person" sign again and started laughing.
"I'm not blind either!" Lyra added, this time more annoyed. Vinyl finally stopped laughing.
"But she's really into ponies, just sayin'." Lyra rolled her eyes.
"Why wouldn't I want to be a pony," Lyra argued, "Who wants boring old hands when you can do magic or fly?!"
"Like I said," Vinyl whispered again, "crazy." Octavia slowly nodded, but didn't really want to get between the possible feud between the two friends.
"I'm Bon Bon." said the girl sitting next to Lyra who wouldn't stop texting on her phone, unless if she was included in a conversation. Octavia nodded again.
"And this is Time Turner." Vinyl said, concluding her list of friends.
"He thinks he's some sort of all powerful Timelord!" Vinyl chuckled putting quotes on the term Timelord.
"I've told you this before Vinyl," Time Turner sighed in his British accent, "I'm not lying about this! I came here to warn you about...." Vinyl chuckled, "Yeah, whatever dude."
"Fine, you're going to wish you knew that valuable piece of information when the day comes." Vinyl simply shunned his comment and continued.
"So, ya think ya got what it takes to become one of us?" Vinyl asked. Octavia wasn't exactly sure if she did, but realized that she was desperate for friends. Besides, they could be pretty good friends...maybe.
"Um...yes." The group huddled together and whispered. What the group said was inaudible, but Octavia assumed that whatever they said, had something to do with her becoming one of them. They parted and Bon Bon nodded to Derpy.
"We accept your application." Derpy said.
"You're one of us now!" Lyra added, who pulled out a laptop and typed random keys on the keyboard.
"First order of business," she continued, "is for you to make your OC!" as she slid her laptop to Octavia.
"A what?" Octavia questioned.
"It's a pony version of yourself." Vinyl put her hand on her forehead.
"We all had to do it." Time Turner sighed. Octavia cautiously took the laptop and tried her best to make the pony look as much like her as possible. She assumed she did well, since she got a satisfied nod from Lyra.
"You are ready." Vinyl dramatically stated.
Octavia was still pretty confused on what just happened. From what she could figure out, she was now accepted into a group with a dubstep obsessed DJ, a girl with crossed eyes and an unhealthy love for muffins, a girl that is so obsessed with being a pony that obsessed didn't even describe the half of it, well the other one seemed normal, and a guy who thinks he's a Timelord; whatever that is.
"We meet at Sugar Cube Corner every Wednesday and Friday." Bon Bon added. This was going to be a very interesting group to be with, Octavia could tell that right away.
