As a famous DJ people always ask what was my past like. Well I'm sure this book will give you a good look at it. Let's just say it wasn't really all that "rockin".

Imagine a world where music can be more than just heard, but touched and seen and smelled as easily as the finest rose on an early spring morning. A world where weather changes, crops grow, and battles are fought, all to the tune of a musicians cadence. Such was Vinyls and Octavias world, their foundation music, and their instruments tools. And it came as no surprise to any pony when a relationship began to blossom between the two masters.

But when tragedy struck Octavia's life, the culprit was closer to home than she expected. She retired her career, picked up her weapon, and set chase to Vinyl, to satiate the boiling hatred that demanded revenge and cried for vengeance.

Vinyl and Octavia meet for the first time at their new music school and have to share a room. At first they don't like each other, but soon they find their similarities.

This is like the usual Vinyl+Octavia Fic with some stylistic devices.

A very big thank you to DustPh0enix and Twilight_Scratch for their work and help with polishing up this story.

Despite her parents never agreeing with her relationship, Octavia never regretted marrying her wife, Vinyl Scratch. However, a train accident ends up making Vinyl blind and depressed. Octavia will have to show her wife that no matter what, she can still live a good life. All she needs is love.

She walked across the street with a cello case and a purple backpack with a black treble clef on her back. She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.

There's something that all artists of music fear the most, the new generation. Some can't keep up with it, others just adjust to it and live on. One mare in particular couldn't keep up, she didn't want to. She loved the music she played, and she didn't want to change it. But as time went on, her time in the spotlight slowly ticked away. Her friends always loved her music, ever since they met. But time goes by, time brings changes, and they changed too. They were the only ones left who believed in her, but just like the old genres and generations of yesteryear, those thoughts and beliefs faded away. With no job, in Octavia's mind, she's got nothing to live for. What's the point in making music if no pony's going to listen to it? However, Octavia decides she wants to join Vinyl in performing the kind of music she makes that helps her stay on top.

Octavia has declared her friendship with Vinyl over.

Now, Vinyl must decide what is right and face her true feelings towards the cellist.

Can she and Octavia ever be friends again, or will they become something more?
