A Friendly Warning: This story contains a rule 63 or gender-swap of a Octavia and Vinyl Scratch which means that this story is a m/m romance. So if you don't like this kind of shipping as it's being presented nor the ideal pairing of the characters, you know where the exit button is.
During their high school days in Canterlot, Octave Melody had feelings for his best friend Record Scratch, but he was afraid of admitting his feelings to him. One day, his younger sister, Opal, finds out and tells her parents about it. Later on, Octave is called down for his parents to give him a big surprise.

5668353 My, my, what gave ya that impression?
One word of advice, never have two different characters speaking in the same paragraph.
5668420 Let me fix that. Thanks for catching that.
I like how this story is going, it's cute and pretty much to the point without getting to hammy, keep it up. ^_^
I like this story
An interesting start, looking forward to more and hoping it progresses well
On a different note, not enough fics with R63 taviscratch
5670087 I know! I've seen some rule 64 with the main six, the princesses, and even Lyra and Bon-Bon. But you're right, there's very few of these that isn't a clopfic.
WOW not only do you write good you have good taste in music! now you definitely deserve this! I know it might not mean much but here you're the first! (i swear im not biased)

cute! nice detailed story telling! Though you might want to look at it a bit closer i saw a few errors like:
"hey dude! I didn't know you came here!" is what you meant i think?
5679853 Thank ya, I'll fix that.
DAWWWWW Sooo CUTE!
awww so romantic~
When are they gonna __fuck__?
here indeed have been times that surprises had been thrown at him.
5723629 Thanks for catching that.
Okay, i will say t hat the story is sweet. But that is also it. It is kind of short ( Which does not necessarily bad) and the pacing is limping, along with a lot of good opportunities were missed. You sort of just drop everything onto us and ask us to accept it.
This is not to say the story is bad. It is just not particularly incredible either.
Which in my book means, Keep writing you glorious bastard!
First chaper (As cyber said) does have the feeling of being a lil forced but they're a cute twosome. ^~^
They so cute. I need to find more stories with these stallions X3 they're so cute.
It begs for a sequel!
5728179 To be fair, my focus wasn't on the side characters but on these two. And the chapters when it's just the two flowed naturally.
5728045 Thanks, but I must say that, most of what you've said, that was the whole point. It's meant to be short and it wasn't meant to be some grand epic. Granted, it could have been different, such as chisel violently confronting them, but I wasn't interested in making it as mean-spirited. Over all, I'm satisfied with this short story.
P.S. I think I have a new idea I'd like to try...
Love it. Very nice!
5774821 Why thank ya kindly.
5774822 are you planing anything for deeper you know down in the bed? if not that's cool, if so that's also cool.
5711050 ......... Is that the only reason you read fanfics?
Loved it, though I would've liked another kiss to end it, but this is a masterpiece anyway
Listening to the Bach music right now and I can see why Octave liked it.
How have I only found this now? I absolutely love this story!
This was adorable. I like the fact that Octave was set up on a date by his parents. THAT Is the first time I've seen such a twist. Loved every chapter of this, no matter how short they were
OH GREAT!!!
A SHIPPING AND GENDER SWAP STORY!!!
FUCKING GREAT!!!
