"Long time, no see." Said the mysterious mare, the mare raised a light blue hoof as if to suggest a hoof shake.
"Oh... My... Celestia..." Said Vinyl with the biggest grin on her face.
"Rainbow Dash?!" Screamed the astonished pony.
"The one and only!" Rainbow Dash shouted at the top of her lungs.
Octavia was still confused as to who 'Rainbow Dash' was.
Octavia did feel a little jealous when she saw Vinyl hug Rainbow Dash, and she still didn't know who she was yet!
After they finally released from their 'hug', Vinyl introduced Octavia to Rainbow Dash.
"Octavia, Rainbow Dash."
"Rainbow Dash, Octavia." Vinyl beamed with happiness as she introduced the two ponies.
"Pleasure to meet you Rainbow Dash." Octavia extended her hoof as she spoke.
"Same, Octavia isn't it?" Rainbows hoof met Octavia's and they shook hoofs.
"So how do you know Vinyl?" Octavia asked Rainbow Dash defensively.
"Oh, oh I know this one!" Vinyl interrupted looking like she could explode if she didn't say it. "Rainbow and I met up after a gig back in spring and we've been friends ever since."
"How come you never mention her?" Octavia said back with a hint of anger.
"It was before we met up in Uni." Vinyl replied back trying not to sound angry.
Vinyl picked up her saddle bag in a hurry. "Well this awkward, I've got to go see Neon Lights about our new song, see ya later babe." Vinyl gave Octavia a kiss on her way out, leaving Octavia and Rainbow Dash... Alone.
-----
As Vinyl walked into the music studio with her custom saddle bag on her back, thoughts of Octavia and Rainbow Dash alone at the house still floated around her head but she shook them off as she saw Neon Lights, a cyan blue stallion with a spiky, black mane was standing in front of a mixing board.
Neon turned and smiled at Vinyl, waving his hoof insisting she go over there.
As Vinyl trotted over to Neon she noticed a mint coloured unicorn playing a Lyre in the recording booth. She placed her saddle bag next to the mixing board.
"Why do you need Lyra and her Lyre?" Vinyl asked the focused Neon Lights.
Neon Lights removed his headphones and faced the DJ. "Because, we need some classical notes and sounds for our next song."
"Do you know anypony who plays a classical instrument?" Vinyl couldn't see past Neons shades but she knew he was desperate, otherwise he wouldn't be asking.
"Actually, yes I do." Vinyl replied with a confident grin.
"Oh yeah, your Fillyfriend Actavic, right?"
"Octavia and yes, she plays the Cello." Neon Lights was the only pony Vinyl felt she could trust because of their musical partnership, she felt like they had a special bond, not as special as her and Octavia's, but still special.
"That's perfect!" Neon shouted. "A Cello is exactly what we need for the song. Do you think she'll be happy about recording a few notes and chords for us?"
"I'll ask her, but I can't make any promises."
As they finished their conversation, Lyra stepped out of the recording booth and rested her Lyre against the mixing board.
"Hi Vinyl, is that all you needed Neon?"
"Yeah that will be all for now, I'll ring you if I need you." Neon said turning to Vinyl.
"You ready to get in there Vinyl?"
Lyra picked up her Lyre and waved goodbye. "See ya later then, I've got to go and pick up some ingredients for Bon Bon."
Lyra galloped out the studio and ran to the shops.
"Yeah, lets go." Vinyl calmly walked inside the booth, taking her saddle bag with her.
Neon Lights raised a hoof, which meant he was asking if she was ready.
She nodded in return and put the head phones on.
"Ok, this is what I've come up with so far, ready?"
"Yup." As the music started playing, Vinyl felt a little rumble coming from her saddle bag. She indicated to Neon that she want him to stop the music.
"Whats wrong?" Neon asked sounding a little worried.
"Nothing, I've just got to get this text." Vinyl's saddle bag glowed blue and quickly opened, her phone then flew out and hovered in front of her.
It was Octavia.
-----
"So... Vinyl said that you two met up in Uni." Rainbow Dash asked trying to brake the awkward ice.
"Yes, yes we did." Octavia replied holding her ground, she wasn't just going to let somepony she didn't know just waltz in and do whatever she wanted, she had to see what they were like first.
"Can I ask how?" Rainbow Dash said with curiosity
Octavia took a deep breath. "We were in the same psychology class and shared a dorm together, after University, we moved into a house, together." Octavia explained to Rainbow Dash. (Leaving out the juicy bits).
"So whats that doo-hicky over there?" Rainbow pointed to Octavia's Cello.
"What my Cello?" Octavia was surprised that Rainbow Dash didn't know what a Cello was.
"Yeah yeah, that." Rainbows eyes widen at the name Cello, then quickly squinted in confusion. "Whats a Cello?"
Octavia was astonished, I thought everypony knew what a Cello was, goes to show people aren't interested in classical any more.
"A Cello is one of the main four instruments in the string family." Octavia felt like she was talking to a little filly. "Do you play an instrument?"
Rainbow was suddenly back in the conversation "Just a bit of Electric Guitar, not much."
"Oh, nothing... subtle then?" Octavia whispered to herself.
Rainbow heard what she said, even if she was whispering. "Whats that supposed to mean?" Rainbow Dash barked defensively.
"Nothing nothing, so... why are you here Rainbow Dash?"
"That's the magic question!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "Umm... I was wondering... if I could umm."
"Umm... what?" Octavia signalled for Rainbow to continue, no matter how bad it was.
"I was wondering if I could stay here for a few days?" Rainbow Dash said rapidly.
"I-I don't know, I'll have to talk it over with Vinyl." Octavia was thinking it over in her mind.
As Octavia began scrolling through her phone looking for Vinyl to pop up. "I understand, got to consult your Fillyfriend."
Octavia slammed her phone shut, How does she know about me and Vinyl?
