During their high school days in Canterlot, Octave Melody had feelings for his best friend Record Scratch, but he was afraid of admitting his feelings to him. One day, his younger sister, Opal, finds out and tells her parents about it. Later on, Octave is called down for his parents to give him a big surprise.

A celebratory story for reaching seventy-five followers.

Vinyl and Octavia go on a road trip. Kinda.

Octavia Melody is an expert at hiding her fear, but in the world of dreams, her subconscious takes hold and she is forced to confront the growing number of nightmares hidden within her. As she faces her anxieties one-by-one, she encounters terrified dream ponies, stalking black-robed figures and an ever-elusive Vinyl Scratch narrowly evading the cellist. Octavia must realize the truth about her terror or her fear may ruin more than her sleep...

This is the darkest of the current four surreal dream tales I've written, but the payoff is totally different from the related stories. I recommend Octavia's story for fans of Silent Hill. The other three are located below:

Rarity's Dream: And then the door opened...
Twilight's Dream: Unicore
Lyra's Dream: The Underville
