//------------------------------// // Tavi Teaches Noi a Lesson // Story: Tavi Tales // by VitalSpark //------------------------------// Octavia really needed to teach Noi a lesson. Lyra had told Octavia what had occurred between she and Noi, and it had been clear that only Octavia would be able to sort the problem out. Lyra had bought Noi a violin for some reason. Lyra didn't even know Noi — why had she bought her a violin? Octavia shook her head. Octavia knocked on the door of Noi's house, and it was answered by Banana Fluff, who was Noi's mother, and who looked strangely like someone had just coloured Lyra in using a different colour scheme. "Hi, I'm here to teach Noi a lesson," said Octavia to the yellow unicorn. "OK, come in, whoever you are," answered Banana. "She's up in her room. Why don't you head up there? I was just off out to work. I'll leave all the doors completely unlocked so you can let yourself out." Octavia shrugged and headed up the stairs, where she could hear an awful racket. When she got to Noi's bedroom, she found Noi playing tennis with a badly damaged racket. Noi herself was an orange–yellow earth pony, with a cutie mark that looked like a pillow, or a magnifying glass, or a chocolate cupcake, depending on how you looked at it. "I've come to give you a violin lesson," Octavia announced, "so stop playing tennis." Six hours later, Noi could play violin beautifully, all thanks to Octavia.
