After rising to stardom following Rarity's first, poorly received fashion show, Vinyl Scratch struggles to adapt to the higher class of life celebrity status bestows. Her personality and own moral values do not mix with the fake, corporate ideals of her agent, and her sponsors are only interested in her as long as she conforms to their expectations. Her life is barely her own and soon she will have to decide what's more important; her existing relationships, her fame and fortune, or perhaps something unexpected in the form of a refreshingly grounded Canterlot Elite who just invited her to breakfast during the Canterlot Music Convention.

A Vinyl Scratch x Octavia story where the two Ponies involved don't instantly form a romantic relationship the moment they meet, and instead allows it to grow over time with good old character development.

All criticism is welcome, and of course some spoilers follow in the comments below so please read cautiously.
Mega thanks go to Cruel September for her fantastic cover art for the story. Go show her lots of love, she's an amazing artist. http://cruelseptember.deviantart.com/

Rarity discovers an old tradition involving the exchange of felt dolls as a sign of affection. This sparks a brilliant plan to play matchmaker with her friends, and between herself and Twilight.

But brilliant plans never go as expected, do they?

A story of romance, fighting and most of all....the classic war of good vs evil. This was my first fanfic ever done.

This story is a sequel to An Apple Scratch toward the World.

(Humanized) After their decisive actions during Chrysalis' Invasion of Canterlot, Princess Celestia gives to Vinyl and her 'sister' Applejack an other Mission. One they would have hope it never befalls to them. (or So they first thought)

Bonus/World Building : Tales of Apple Scratch

Fluttershy has gone throughout most of her life as the kid hiding in the corner. Not showing her true face to anyone who draws near, all but her best friend Rainbow Dash. The only girl in her Middle school to know her for who she truthfully is. Until Rainbow moved away, Fluttershy vowed to never show her true colors to anyone but her beloved Rainbow!
Meeting the gang in High School with her Masquerade leads to problems when a certian long time crush of hers moves back into town.

Rarity has finally found the courage to confess her love to the mare of her dreams: Princess Twilight Sparkle. But once their relationship takes root, Twilight finds that her heart longs for another pony—her sweet friend Fluttershy. As a princess, she’s committed to making everypony happy and comes up with a solution that she hopes might bring all three mares together, even if everypony else in Equestria disagrees with it.

This is a “What If?” tale based on my earlier story, Beauty, Books, and Butterflies.
