Octavia sat at one of the breakfast tables at the hotel. It had been two days since Vinyl had kissed her and that she had kissed back. Neither pony had expected it, but it happened and they soon became friends. Octavia added another week onto her stay at the hotel so that she could spend more time in the small town. Her and Shady became friends and everything was fine.
Octavia finished her meal and walked back to her room. She sat on her bed and watched the clock tick on the far wall. She had run out of ideas of what to do. Nothing had been going on anytime soon.
Knock, Knock
Octavia's ears picked up the noise and she looked over at the door. She wasn't expecting anypony. She walked over to the door slowly. She opened it slightly and caught sight of the color blue. She opened the door all the way and revealed a smiling Vinyl. Not just smiling, but smiling widely.
"Hey Tavi." She said, still smiling.
"Hello?" Octavia stated, confused slightly.
"Whatcha doin'?" Still the same smile.
"Vinyl, are you...OK?"
"Yup! Today is amazing! So, doing anything?"
"No...?"
"Good! Let's go!" Vinyl looked at her friend and, if possible, widened her smile.
"Where?"
"To the Ponyville Festival of course!"
"...Um, what's that?" Octavia was starting to feel uncomfortable.
"One of the coolest days here in Ponyville! There's lot's of stuff that happenes there! So you wanna go?"
Oh dear "OK..."

Octavia and Vinyl walked through the streets of Ponyville, passing all the highly decorated buildings and lamp posts. Up ahead, Octavia could hear the faint sound of music. Upon arrival, Octavia gasped. The entire center of town was decorated from the ground up with streamers, balloons, and more.
Everypony was bustling about, enjoying the festival. The one thing that Octavia took notice to was the large amount of different booths scattered around the area. Thousands of items to buy, almost anything you could think of.
'This is better than the Canterlot Fair' Octavia thought.
"What do ya think?" Vinyl asked with a smile.
"This is amazing." Octavia was at a loss for words to say anything other than those three words. All this time, a town that works together as one, behaving better than the Canterlot ponies she was used to. Octavia, for the first time in a long while, felt true joy. She and Vinyl started with walking around to check out all the booths. Octavia got to see a potter crafting a ceramic pot on what looked like a turntable, which it kind of was, just without the vinyl records and what she guessed was a stick in the center. The good thing was that the day was just getting started.
~~~
Octavia and Vinyl sat at a small table by the stage, eating the lunch they had recently ordered. They had spent a good three hours looking at the various booths. The sun was high in the sky, marking it noon. The partying would start at two. Octavia had caught sight of Vinyl smiling at the stage, but when Octavia looked over, she had seen nothing of interest. Octavia just ignored the strange behavior and continued her salad. Afterwards, they got up and walked around a bit more. Then the long awaited time came. Two o'clock. Time for the party.
~~~
Octavia sat in front of the stage. There seemed to be a little entertainment part of the festival where various ponies come up on stage to show their talents in music, comedy, etcetera. The fist performance was a violinist from Manehatten. Octavia sat at attention to listen. Classical music was very popular in Canterlot, but from Manehatten, it was almost a blessing to hear it. The violinist played with such elegance that she wasn't just playing the violin, she was making it sing. After a short song, the performance was over and everypony stomped their applause. Octavia was giddy to almost the point of cheering. She would have liked to, but her sophisticated side told her otherwise.
~~~
Seven hours passed and it was beginning to get dark. Halfway through he performances, she hadn't seen Vinyl at all. Octavia just sat intentivly and watched the performance she didn't notice the unicorn leave. Octavia watched the stage. It was the last and longest performance of the night and Octavia was beginning to grow impatient. Soon the emcee walked out from behind the curtain and to the front of the stage.
"All right fillies and getlecolts. At this moment, we have our final performance. She is from right here in Ponyville and has done fantastic work at some clubs around Equestria. Please give it up for the one, the only, DJ-PON-3!" He quickly walked off stage and the curtain lifted. When it did, Octavia's heart skipped a beat. Behind some electronic device, stood Vinyl, wearing the same purple shades from when they first met.
"Alright Ponyville! Who's ready for the best night ever!"
She was immediately answered by loud cheering and stomping. Vinyl smiled brightly and levitated a record onto the strange machine and music began banging out of the speakers. But not any kind of music Octavia had ever heard of. This seemed electronically altered. Octavia just sat there, staring, though still listening.
~~~
The performance lasted another hour before the last note was played. Octavia was still sitting, but she was smiling. Vinyl's performance had been amazing. Vinyl shot her hoof into the air and walked off stage. She soon spotted Octavia and trotted over. She smiled brightly when she saw her friend was smiling as well.
"How'd you like the festival?"
"It was outstanding. This was one of the greatest days I've had! What where you playing, if I might ask. I've never heard anything like it before."
"It's called dubstep, a fusion of different sounds to make one tune. I've always loved wubs from when I first heard them."
Vinyl nodded and the two walked towards the hotel. Octavia was thankful that Vinyl was accompanying her. She hated walking alone in the dark. The pair walked out of the stage area, but before they could get very far, they heard a gasp.
"Vinyl! You didn't tell me there was a new pony in town!" Pinkie Pie shouted.
