FEATURED on 9/2/14 (by confirmation of a review by firestrom83... WOW! That's amazing. thank you all, whether you enjoyed it or not.

Meant to not interfere with the actual show, this story is told through chapters based either around, or opposite events seen in the show. Marked AU just to be safe.

Scootaloo, an orphaned pegasus living her life out in Ponyville.

Fluttershy, a sweet animal loving pegasus who once she finds out Scootaloo is an orphan is determined to give her a home

As always none of my stories could exist without the help of my loving wife.

Spike has been Twilight's assistant for years and has also helped her friends in Ponyville. He has done every thing for them, he even saved the Crystal Empire. He is a loyal dragon willing to do any thing for his friends, but what does he gets for it? Little to no respect. And that is what pushes him to run away.

After realising her dream was not playing in the Canterlot elite Octavia moves back to Manehattan. Though how will Vinyl react when her former best friend in the world comes back after not having spoken in five years? Will their relationship ever be the same, or have they both changed?

A/N After I had to cancel my old VinylxTavi fic I decided that I would start a new one. There's really no similarities from the last fic to this so don't fret if you have not/have read it. Now I'll have to give a huge shoutout to NotTheOP for editing my story once more. That guy is my savior!

"Here you are in Canterlot / It's the place you always dreamed about / It's exactly what you have wanted"

Octavia has lived among and performed for the highest class of ponies for years, and never once questioned her way of living or life choices. But when a fateful afternoon reignites an old memory, she finds herself realizing that she's been missing something: a friend. Now lost and desperate, she can only hope the pony she removed from her life will be willing to hear from her again.

"Regret, Regret / Why did I forget about her for so long?"

Inspired by lyrics from The Living Tombstone's "Ocatvia's Overture" and
"Like a Spinning Record".

Small warning for material ahead: This story will contain scenes with fictional drugs, and maybe some rather depressing material down the line. Figured that I would let people know before they start to read, as there are some that do not want to read that material.

How long has it been? Months? Years? Lord knows that I have started to lose track of the days ever since that fateful night. .. Why could I have been there for her? All of those times that she asked me to come to her show, and I just brushed her off like some unimportant rodent, never even giving a thought to how my careless actions were effecting her. I never took time to be with her... To think I had finally worked up the nerve to tell her how I felt, only to have my stupid decisions blow up in my face. This is where my bad choices got me in the end. Sitting here in this gutter, thinking about what I could have done differently. Holding the pieces of by broken heart in my shaking hooves.

This story will be taking place a couple of years after the events of "I Am Octavia" and will be mostly told from the perspective of Vinyl with some third person scenes from Octavia's perspective. After Octavia severed her ties with Vinyl on the fateful night, both were crushed. For Octavia, she was able to get back on her hooves after a couple of weeks, devoting herself more and more to her music until finally everything returned back to an acceptable norm. However for Vinyl the hardship had impacted her much more. Secretly she had cared about Octavia much more then the friendship that they had, but she was always worried to risk the current relationship that they had.

As always feel free to comment about anything that you wish to. All forms of criticisms will be accepted in reasonable bounds of course. Hopefully you enjoy the story!

Dreams are such delicate things, and Scootaloo’s are more fragile than most.

But in Equestria, dreams are protected. Sometimes a filly just needs a helping hoof to learn how to hope again.

This story has a reading! Slightly older version of the story, but the reading is very well done. It can be found here.

What happens, happens. I think that is one of the rules of Causality as stated by the late, great Douglas Adams. It is a pretty important rule and I use it to guide me through life, no matter what goes on in it. So, when I was driving to an out of town job and found myself in another world, I did my best to take everything in stride.

I would be the first to say the adjustment is not easy. Especially, when the first thing you do is make yourself a pony distrusted, disliked and defamed by some national heros. Thinking about that, I think I have to invoke another Douglas Adams quote. "Don't Panic."

This is the result of me getting bored one day and starting writing. Now that I got a bit of it done, I wouldn't mind honest opinions, and flame away if you feel the need. I have thick skin.

As you might notice, there are a few chapters with a box at the top. These are the ones that my editor and I went through again, and hopefully improved. I'll refrain from changing plot but spelling, grammar and flow are all up for grab. Especially for the early chapters.

It's been a year and a half since a failed experiment brought as a result the human invasion to Equestria. After having lost absolutely everything, the ponies seemed to be in crossroads, and didn't seem to find a solution. At least, that's what they thought until they put down their hopes on an unexpected ally.
