Octavia moves to Ponyville, meets Vinyl Scratch and gets a record from her, then things start to unfold. If you read it please review it.

Vinyl Scratch liked to party. Octavia liked to enjoy life a bit more quietly. That was until Vinyl took out a loan she couldn't repay. Now she’s on the run from an insane loan shark that has too many spare thugs and a lot of cash to throw away. To put the icing on top, the unicorn has dragged her new, once sheltered friend into the mess with her. Now the DJ and the cellist must try to escape with their lives. Along the way, will they find that they can't stand each other, or will they discover something else about themselves together?

After being rudely awoken from Cryo-sleep, John-117 finds that the Forward Unto Dawn has been sucked into a gravity well, causing it to fall towards an unknown planet. In the crash, he is separated from Cortana and falls alone into the Everfree forest. In addition to this new complication, old memories from a scarred and tragic past haunt his dreams, putting his remaining sanity on edge.

Current rewrite will not necessarily follow the old story but certain events and details may be reused.
