"It began with the castle. That's where it started. Then the disappearances. Then... that thing. I'm scared. I really am. The castle, the eclipse, that thing... and I still haven't heard from Celestia. Where are you guys? I'm... scared. I'm really scared."

-Last letter from Twilight Sparkle.

My life was simple. I used to be a cellist, of Canterlot's pride and nobility, and a very happy pony with where I was. I should say I landed myself here; it was nopony's fault I agreed with Vinyl on this ludicrous idea. I will, however, blame Vinyl for the guards outside. And for my doctor. And for Princess Luna.

That's all on her.

So, in the off chance that we don't get out of this room in (literally) one piece, my name is Octavia, beginning log: one.

T'was the night of the Eve, the snow had come soon, and not a pony was stirring, except Nightmare Moon...

After the fiasco leading to the split between her and Vinyl, Octavia is invited to stay with an old ex of hers in Ponyville. Begrudgingly, she accepts. There's always been something... off about Lyra, though Octavia could never tell. Now, caught between bad press and an eccentric ex, she's about to understand just what makes this mare so... strange.

On her way to Cloudsdale, Rainbow Dash slams headfirst into a malfunctioning storm that grounds her hard. If that wasn't bad enough, the only help for miles comes in the form of a traveling boasting magician and her cart. But when this storm gone wrong turns out to be something more mischievous, these two find themselves in a strange new Equestria of finely dressed ponies and lavish inventions. And now, they need to find a way home, hopefully without strangling each other in the process.

An experiment gone right has successfully left Rainbow Dash's rainbow mane in Twilight's vial. But when Pinkie stops by for a visit and mistakes the rainbow for a drink, she decides that all of her friends must try this amazing creation.

How can this go wrong?

Side effects, of course.

While on their way to Manehattan for a new fashion show, Vinyl, Octavia, and Rarity realize just how mischievous magic can be. Now that they're all stuck in Vinyl's body, and in the little town of Trottingham no less, things can't possibly be worse. That is, until they are bitten by a peculiar, pony-like wolf. Now Rarity and Octavia must survive being Vinyl while also terrorizing anypony in the area. Well, there goes the idea of help... unless, of course, the Great and Powerful Trixie is feeling generous.

After the Wedding, Vinyl is greeted by Princess Celestia, who offers a strange opportunity: to play an organ over one thousand years old. Vinyl, a seasoned pianist raised to be a noble, cannot resist, and with the support of her best friend, Rarity, she is unstoppable. However, this organ has a dark secret, one Celestia thought would never resurface. It is a shame she was wrong.

Every month, Octavia plays privately for Princess Luna as she paints the night sky. Each time, Octavia feels that familiar feeling, one she's rarely ever felt before. Now she has decided that it is time to announce these feelings. However, she has a secret, one she has kept for longer than she can remember. But surely the Princess of the Night would be able to understand her own creation, right?

Rainbow Dash finally convinced Rarity to come on a camping trip with her and Applejack. But the whole situation seems a little... fluffy.
