Ever have the perfect girlfriend? A girlfriend so beautiful, so classy, so entrancing that you'll walk to school pantless at the sound of her voice? Octavia's that kind of a girl... and after I tell her my morning's story—if she's not blushing half as much as I am right now—then she owes me a damn beer.

(Humanized) Vincenza Scratch, AkA Vinyl for her friends, AKA DJ-PON3 on stage, 22 years old. The DJ found herself in one of the low periods of her young career, probably the lowest and longest she ever experienced so far; writer's block, out of ideas for a new genre of music as her 'classic' electronica seems to go out of the crowd fashion, less and less attendance to her gigs, etc.

Starting to run low on money, She gets in touch with one of her mother's friend in the capital, Vito Philharmonica; Member of the board of one of the most prestigious private high school. Vito offers her a place to stay and a job to help her to get back on track : A music teacher job for a Highschool senior class, which includes Vito's own daughter, Octavia.

How's Vinyl going to teach to a bunch of teenagers when she's barely older than them? ( and probably not much more mature as well). And when other teachers and some of her students look down at her for being a 'simple' DJ? One answer, Becoming the GTVS: THE GREAT TEACHER VINYL SCRATCH! (Yes inspired by GTO, one of the coolest manga ever)

Don't forget to check the comic version as well

It does not take much to know that Octavia and Vinyl are very different ponies. However, most don't realize that they share some similarities. Octavia and Vinyl are both very well known musicians in their field, and for good reason, they both attended the same music school, they both excelled in their studies, they both graduated with Music Theory, and they both share a secret unknown to nearly everypony in Equestria.

When it comes to summer, most of us think about beaches, vacationing, travel, BBQ's, pool parties, etc. But for two girls, all they can think about is each other.

I also want to give a shout-out and very special thanks to my proofreader Wolfie 03. You've been a really great help to me for this story and deserve a lot of credit for helping me make it what it is. You're a really awesome person, and words can't even begin to describe how glad I am that you helped me out.

Warning: This story contains scenes of mild sexual content, some strong course language, and mild violence.

Vinyl goes to band camp. She meets Octavia, a shy girl. She puts out the effort to get Octavia to talk to her, and a fast friendship forms. After spending a summer together, one of them may be falling in love.

Vinyl is quite happy with her life. A minor secretary, she lives her life one day at a time, thoroughly determined to not let a good memory pass her by.

Octavia hates her life. She's the conductor of the orchestra she's played in for years, and suddenly realizes she hates everything about it. She just wants some freedom, some joy, something to smile about.

Fate brings these two together, and you get the auspicious opportunity to read their story.

This story is a sequel to If I Could Rearrange The Alphabet...

A year before Vinyl Scratch and Octavia moved in together, they went on a "couple's vacation". There was arguing, bickering, loving, and caring. What else would you come to expect from two deeply in love women? Even before they knew they were truly in love... This time together on their vacation perhaps would define their relationship and the tribulations it held.

Prequel to If I Could Rearrange The Alphabet...

Humanized ponies; for your own future information.

A story told primarily in first person and third person alternating with cues.

This story is a sequel to Vinyl and Octavia Machete Their Way Through The Jungle

Vinyl and Octavia have only just gotten back from the Amarezon Jungle, but things are already screwing up for them. Vinyl can't keep her house tidy no matter what she tries, Octavia can't tear herself away from Vinyl's cooking, and Vinyl keeps breaking into Octavia's house.

Good thing they can rely on each other, yes?

Three years ago, Gilda volunteered for a posting in the farthest reaches of griffon territory, a place she knew no pony had ever been and a place she hoped no pony would ever come. And then one morning...

The first chapter was written for the 2014 Summer Equestria Daily Pre-Reader "Secret Santa" Story Exchange--better known, I guess, as the EqD Pre-Reader Battle, but the story just kept on growing. The prompt was the single word "foreigner," and the cover image was commissioned from DarkerSounds.
