She let out a light smile as she watched the sun lower. Octavia looked to the castle and grabbed her cello. She has a job to do still. She ran full gallop into the castle with her cello. Soon the mare got to the ballroom where she was preforming a show. She lightly smiled at all the ponies in the crowd. Octavia Melody brought her bow across her cello and felt a familiar breeze caress her coat. The few birds outside chirped as she smirked suddenly a loud boom was heard and she fell unconscious. Nine days ago . . . Octavia Melody looked to the moon as it lowered and her partner got home. "Out partying Vinyl?" Octavia snickered as she saw her white roommate wearing a pair of cracked sunglasses. "Octy, what are you doing up?" Vinyl Scratch asked; avoiding the question. Octavia snickered as she walked to face her partner half way up the stairs. "How was the party?" she asked the white unicorn mare. Vinyl shrugged her shoulders. "Same old same old," she yawned loudly as she began heading for her mess of a room. "Night . . . eh . . . morning night Octy," she closed the door a boom heard as she slammed the door shut. Octavia sighed in frustration. What she sees in that mare is beyond her. Octavia sat in her couch as she was getting ready to leave for her job. Octavia heard a loud crash emitting from her partner's bedroom. With a loud sigh she picked up her cello and began walking to the castle. She stopped in front of the gates and turned to a corner near the castle. Shifting her eyes she saw no-pony was there. "Good, okay," she began looking around the brick wall. She smirked as she pressed her ear against the wall and brought her hoof along the wall. A smirk came across her face more so now when a click was heard as she pushed on the brick. Soon enough a long hallway was shown as the brick wall extended into a hallway. Octavia began walking inside seeing new recruits running around trying to impress the old recruits. She walked to one of them, a brown unicorn stallion, a black mane, and amber eyes. "Hello," she shook the newbie's hoof. He stuttered. "Y-Y-You're Agent 2341!" the stallion shook her hoof harder. She blushed as the stallion knew who she was. "Please, if anything call me by Agent Melody, or, if casual then Octavia," she smiled her blush fading. The stallion nodded. "O-Okay Agent Melody," he said biting his lip hard. "C-Can you sign this card?" he asked holding both a quill and a piece of paper. "Of course, who is this to?" she asked grabbing the quill with one of her hooves. The stallion stared at Octavia. "T-This is to Silent Stance," the stallion smiled as his eyes lit up. Octavia giggled as the name he has doesn't exactly make sense for his current behavior. Octavia handed him the piece of paper. Octavia her cello still on her back brought it to her cubical. She set it upward. She let out a sigh of relief as her thoughts trailed to her and Vinyl sipping tea. Octavia heard a loud knock. Her mind sent back to reality. "Enter," she simply said as the door swung open to show her boss; Special Agent Noteworthy. She leapt to her hooves. "What do you need?" Octavia hasted herself up. Her boss pat her gray shoulder. "Miss Melody, please come to my office," he demanded Octavia leapt to her hooves to do just that. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Octavia followed her dark blue soppier into his office. "Now, I will be assigning you to Las Pegasus for nine days at the most. You see: a Kingpony by the name of Gentlecolt a Pegasus pony he's meeting with an earth pony mare by name of Gray Scar, here's her criminal record," Octavia saw the resemblance with her and Gray Scar, however, something more was up with that Gray Scar mare. "Gray Scar is of course, a name she's claimed of being, we know it isn't her real name, we need you to go undercover as this mare and catch Wind Wake whatever the costs are," Octavia seemed more into the Gray Scar profile than in her boss. "Miss Melody!" his voice exclaimed making the gray mare's ears ring. She flapped her ears. "I know I've seen this Gray Scar before," she pondered where. Octavia looked into her boss' eyes. "May I see Gray Scar?" she asked an intimidating eye on her boss. He nodded quickly and pointed his hoof. "She's just over there," he said unlocking the cage. "Be careful Agent Melody," Noteworthy grabbed the mare's shoulder. "I will Agent Noteworthy," she looked back at the door and walked through it. As soon as the door closed she saw as Gray Scar's ears perked up. "Octavia!?" Octavia grew confused as how this mare knows her. "It is you!" she got up only to be stopped by the hoofcuffs chaining her to the pipe which she rests on. "I-I'm sorry?" she scratched her mane trying to know where she may have met her. The other gray earth mare rolled her eyes. "Of course you don't remember who I am truly," Gray Scar sighed. "It's me . . . Gray Melody," Octavia's eyes grew wide. Gray Melody was her twin sister, who would've figured they meet this way? "It-It can't be, Gray died in the carriage crash," Octavia looked away from her possible sister. Gray Scar rolled her eyes again. "Our birthday was January, ninth, 1989," she stated correctly leaving Octavia gap jawed. Octavia sighed willing to admit defeat. "Whatever, see you later Gray," she said walking off out of the room. Octavia sighed as she recalled the trouble she got in because of her sister. She's still being under some watch. Guess the whole selling thing was out of the question, yet her sister was talented at cello, to think she just wanted to be like her sister but more elegant. Octavia walked home her time of work over. She walked into the quiet house as Vinyl must have left for a party. Something felt off suddenly a gun shot was heard. She gasped as she closed her eyes to the shot. She however, wasn't the one to be shot. As she opened her eyes she saw a quite serious Silent Stance. "S-Silent Stance, what you doing here?" Octavia asked staring at the dead body of what seemed to look identical of Silent Stance. Silent chuckled. "Didn't Noteworthy tell you? I'm your partner, Gray Scar had a partner. His name was Black Shade, that's who I'm going as," Silent Stance stated walking over to Octavia. Octavia rubbed her hooves. "Oh, Note never said anything, whatever, so, that's Black Shade?" Octavia poked the bleeding out stallion a hole right through his chest. "Yeah," he said looking closer to the stallion. Moments later Octavia was finished turning herself into her sister: ruffling the mane, getting rid of the bowtie, and brushing her coat upwards. Silent Stance smiled seeing the mare was a spitting image of Gray Scar/Gray Melody. "You look great, Agent Melody," Silent needed not to change much but the mane. Octavia chuckled. "You do too Silent Stance, or Black Shade," she chuckled brushing her tail along his face. A blush forming on both of the ponies. "Yeah, yeah," he said seriously not giving a slight sign of happiness. It's only hours before the meeting of the Kingpony.
