Octavia will do almost anything for an old friend...even go on a date with the most garish pony she's ever met. Crude, more than a little scary, and with a fashion sense that can charitably be called "extreme", she's certainly not the kind of mare the cellist would ever find herself attracted to....right?

Will the two be able to stand one another? Will their differences drive them apart? Or will they find strength in a relationship that surprises the both of them?

How about a pairing that we know for sure hasn't been done before?

Frederic has been in love with Octavia for a long time. Sadly for him, it's an unattainable goal. Similarly, Rarity was heartbroken by the boorish, uncouth actions of Prince Blueblood. But maybe, just maybe, they can find love elsewhere.
