	Funky was not happy about having to stay in one room. The plus side was now she wasn't on stand-by and could move around though in only one room. There was the cello music again and Funky listened. Eventually the robot had started to fit other parts into the melody playing her own version quietly. Funky was in her remix mode replaying the cello music she had heard internally to refine her electronic music. She didn't hear the light knocking that grew louder. The door opened and a gray mare with ebony mane stood on the other side. The play back ended instantly. Funky opened her mouth to speak but she was cut off before she could greet the other. 

"What is Equestria are you and why the buck are you in Vinyl's room?" Octavia walked into the room keeping her eyes on the robot. Funky's ear pinned back as she started to back away. The artificial pony entered into a dark corner making the glow of her eyes obvious. "What sort of degenerate monster are you?"

Funky sank to the floor. She didn't want to be stuck in some closet unable to move again. "Funky not a monster. Don't put Funky in a small room all alone." Octavia wasn't expecting that tilting her head to the side looking at the robot. The light behind Funky's glasses had gone out which was a sign she had closed the eyes behind them.

"I will certainly speak with Vinyl when she returns." She turned walking back towards the door. "If you promise not to interrupt you may come out and listen while I practice, but don't play your music. I mean unless you can stay with a classical sound." Octavia didn'tsee the glow return with a smile on the robot's face. The robot followed behind Octavia. The gray earth mare was surprised when she heard a piano playing the introduction of the song she had been playing previously. Octavia looked back as she got herself ready to play once more to see the robot was the source of the music. "Perhaps I shall go easy on Vinyl. Still she should have told me sooner." Funky just smiled as the piano music continued followed by a soft beating of a drum to keep the tempo. Octavia drew up her bow and started to play. The rich deep tones of her cello mixed and blended into the melodic piano notes.

Outside the apartment Vinyl had stopped hearing the music. Coming home to hearing Octavia playing wasn't unusual but it was that she had been accompanied by other instruments and she was an earth pony so it wasn't magic. Vinyl also knew Octavia practiced alone or with other ponies and not to a recording. The white unicorn had a feeling of dread as she slowly opened the door allowing he curiosity t win out. Nothing could have prepared her for what she saw. There was a head bobbing Funky standing on the other side of the couch while Octavia was playing. Vinyl stood there jaw dropped. "W-wha?"

Octavia stopped playing and put her cello on it's stand. "Vinyl, we need to talk." She then turned and gave the robot a slight bow. "Thank you very much Funky. I quite enjoyed having some pony to actually play and appreciates the classical Genre." Funky smiled brightly before she had disappeared into Vinyl's room once more.
