A group of ponies (after the other groups went to other places away from Equestria) were walking into a forest of green plants, Greek creatures and filth, which as of today was called the "Everfree Forest", and there they found a mysteriously working, rusty machine near a camp, which they bought back to their place to study its functions. They then found a way to use it to travel to different dimensions, which in there they will face challenges over time.

Octavia Philharmonica is a desperate mare. Her involvement in the ill-fated "pony pokey" at the prestigious Grand Galloping Gala has left her blacklisted among the elite of Canterlot who form her clientele. Faced with the possibility of being evicted from her apartment for inability to pay rent she decides to take a temporary job at a local nightclub. Of course, she's never set hoof in a club before and has no idea what she's getting involved in . . .

My unicorn parents called me a worthless mud pony. They pushed me every day to overcome my lowly status. When I woke up one morning with my cutie mark, I thought they would love me. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth.

It was not destiny or enjoyment that led me to discover the cello and composing. My parents made that decision, deciding before I was born I would continue their family legacy of famous musicians.

They did not realize what that decision would cost them.

This story is a sequel to Vinyl and Octavia Join COBRA

With their new job as COBRA Troopers finally starting to give them some vague semblance of a normal life back, it sure would be a pity if Vinyl and Octavia found themselves hurled through random time periods in Equestria, wouldn't it?

It'd be even more of a pity if they never got home. But I'm sure that wouldn't happen.

Thanks to Josh P for the cover art!
