It started off as enjoying a night at a classical concert, then one trip to the bar and a few drinks later, and one pony finds himself sharing the bed of one musically talented mare. What begins as an awkward meeting turns into a sharing of music and finding of each other.

Big McIntosh has a unique way of appreciating music, and Octavia certainly provides an experience. Octavia would love to get in touch with her earth pony roots, and Big McIntosh has the deepest roots around. They could learn so much from each other about why they do what they do, and they just might gain some insight into their own simple gifts in the process.

Octavia, Vinyl and Lyra are on a night out to check the underground music scene in Canterlot. They weren't sure what to expect, but when the band get on stage there is a huge surprise for the trio to process.

While traveling forward in time to collect his latest companion the Tardis instead drops the Doctor two centuries backwards and definitely not in Ponyville, when he meets a pony less than thrilled at his arrival due to the Tardis re-materializing on top her cello!

The Doctor dragging her into the dark to chase screams in the night may have met his match as the pair encounter the owner of the Opera house, a pair of familiar looking guards and a creature of pure instinct.

Vinyl can’t sleep, but, as she will find out, she is not the only one.

Vinyl Scratch is a pony who never utters a word.

She lives in the moment, but has many ponies who love her.

What is the mystery of her reality?

A bottle of Cider? Bottle of White?

Even after all these years, even though he loved her but she loved another, he'll meet her anytime she wants.

In a Canterlot Restaurant.

Part of the Royals-Verse. Takes place after Royals, but before its (soon to be published) Sequel.

Trying something for the first time can often times be frustrating. You may want to give up, but perseverance will always pay off in the end. Octavia knew this, but she needed a little reminder from a special somepony to make her realize it.

Color Splash thought to make a lasting mark in the old theater in the rich part of Manehatten. Covering an entire wall of the inside would make a statement the news couldn't possibly ignore once it was discovered. Unfortunately for her, although she thinks she is alone inside, there's somepony else there with her. Somepony that demands attention from the trespasser.

Retired Special Agent Sweetie Drops has been living in Ponyville as Bon Bon for just over ten years now, and aside from the occasional monster attack or magical mishap, life has been peaceful. She's happily married and has a successful career running a candy shop. Something has been preventing her from properly appreciating the quiet life, however, and that thing's name is Vinyl Scratch. Countless hours of surveillance has convinced Bon Bon of one fact, and it's that whatever Vinyl Scratch is, it's not a pony. Today is the day she gets to the bottom of the mystery that has haunted for her so long: What exactly is Vinyl Scratch, and what does she want with Octavia Melody?
