“Is this for real?!” Octavia said while reading a letter from a producer in manehattan
Octavia finally got her big break! she was invited to perform at manehattan live in a concert!
“Finally, my chance to shine is here!” she said cheering in joy
Its been months since she tried out for the auditions in manehattan to perform in a concert, it was her dream to be a star, bright lights, the fame... All of it... She tried so hard to achieve this. though . But for weeks she didn't got accepted in any of the performing band or any solo. she did several gig’s in a local bar, even at a strip tease club. still this doesn't make her happy. she is still hoping for her dream... to be known as the great musician, Octavia! after her work at the bar
she then meets up with DJ Pon 3 for their usual talk.
“So tell me... What have you been doing in the past week?” Dj asked while sipping a mug of beer
“Nothing much, just the usual boring day I suppose” she answered back while drinking her wine..
“You know, Octavia. there’s much more in life than concerts and fame you know” Dj kept on drinking, Octavia looks at her and lets out a sigh
“Dj, you don't understand, I wanted to be a star ever since I played at the very first time, and when I got my cutie mark. . and when I performed at the grand galloping gala, but then ruined by Someponies there and screw my entire career” she then said letting out a small tear
Dj pats her at the back “Octavia, you just have to let that go! other wise. . . you’ll only re-live that memory of your’s for the rest of your life!”
“I know.. but still... i think that because of that.. I lost my mojo in music.. And can barely write songs anymore” she said then lets it all out and cried
Dj felt a bit sad for her friend. . specially when she’s in the brink of failure as well. but didn't want to show it. she then calls it a night and brings Octavia in her home, Dj left afterwards
Octavia was left alone in her house, laying in her bed, thinking if she will ever make the cut, she gazed into darkness and slowly falls asleep... she quickly went to a dream state where she was playing a melody in a concert solo, ponies cheered and clopped at her performance! it was just amazing for her... That dream was just heavenly
Meanwhile DJ walks down the street while thinking about what Octavia said earlier. . .
“Fame and Fortune huh?”
she mutters while walking the cold dark ally way. . When she was about to go out the ally she was greeted by a strange looking pony. . Though it doesn't appear to be a pony at all! It was standing in his hind legs and his front hoofs hand long worm like things moving out of it. .
“Good evening, my good lady” he said in a deep voice, “his nose is quite odd and long” she thinks
“Allow me to introduce my self, i am igor. . and i’m here . . to tell your future.”. . . .
"My future?" DJ asked the creature wondering what he meant... "Do Not be alarmed! i am not here to harm you, But unless you follow me... Your friends will be in great danger!" DJ even more curious followed The strange creature....
The next day. .
Octavia writes a song that she came up with in a dream. .. . She hoped that this must be her lucky break, only because she saw it in a dream she thought its a sign of good things to come. . . She worked on the song for almost a day, after she finishes her song she sets it in an envelope and put it near the table.. she looked at her watch and didn't realize that it was already 6:00 in the evening... She was so caught up with her writing she didn't even got breakfast nor diner... And was late for their usual talk-night with DJ. . . She quickly puts her saddle on and her usual bow tie and went out... She arrived at the “usual” place to have a drink with Dj again.. But Dj was nowhere to be found. . She waited there for at least an hour before leaving..
“that's strange” she thoughts “usually she goes here on time... Why wasn't she there tonight?”
it was unlikely for Dj miss out on Talk-night,and hardly ever misses it. .
she walked home alone, still wondering what happened to DJ
Days have passed and soon became weeks... And she haven't got any news about DJ or where she went.. “Where did she go? She should have given me a note to where she was going at least?” She asked herself... Knowing that DJ was her best friend and wont leave without saying good bye....
2 Weeks later... After getting the note from a producer in manehattan she immediately packed some of her things and set off to manehattan... Although, she hasn't seen Dj for a while she continued on. not knowing what had happened to her friend... On her way to the station, she meets up with Bon-Bon who also heading to manehattan...
“Over here Octavia!!” he waves as she gets Octavia’s attention to her
“Hey there Bon-Bon! Ready for the trip?” she said obviously exited about the trip
“Sure am!” she said also exited about the trip
“So what have you been doing all this time Bon Bon?” she asked as they walked in the train
“Oh, just the usual, you know making candy, helping out in the shop...” she said while they both took a seat “By the way, did you see Dj anywhere lately?” she asked
“Vinny? No.. Oh wait! She did mention about heading out to manehattan a week ago but... Thats all I remember” she said to Octavia still thinking what she might add to answer...
This got Octavia worried... Why did Dj went to manehattan? she said she doesn't have any interest going to the place, except if she has something important in mind...
The ride through out Manehattan was silent... neither Bon-Bon or Octavia talked much because they didn't feel like talking... or just got no topic at all.
When they finally arrived in Manehattan, they said their goodbye’s and went on their separate ways, while walking the streets she bumped to another pony causing both of them to fall..
Octavia stood up and helped the pony up, and she was apologising the light green pony recognized her “Octavia? Is that you?” she said as octavia also recognized the pony. It was lyra, one of her fellow musician who played the lyre in the previous year, and one of her friends and close colleague.
“H-hey lyra... its been a while hasn't it?” She said to lyra
“Yes it is Octavia! How are you my dear?” She asked her as she picks up her luggage
“Oh just fine thanks.. What about you? what are you doing here lyra?” She asked
“Well I was suppose to meet Bon-Bon here a minute ago but still hasn't showed up” She said
“If your looking for Bon-Bon she went in the opposite direction” Octavia promptly points to the way her friend went.
“Oh my, well as much as I want to Have a girl talk with you, but i must be on my way! things to do Stuff to get” she quickly walks behind Octavia.
“Okay then, Catch you later Lyra!” she waves at lyra, Lyra waves back as she trotted away... As she also went her way to find somewhere to stay for the night, she walked all over Manehattan searching for a vacant hotel to stay in...
But all of them had no vacancy! Tired and exhausted from walking around the place she stopped by near a bar to get her self a drink.. as she enters the shop she saw another pair of ponies she knew... There at the counter serving drinks was berry punch, and one sitting there talking to her was Golden Harvest! Octavia immediately went over to say hello, both of them greeted Octavia and had a couple of drinks
“So Octavia, What brings you to this parts of the woods?” Golden asked
“Well, I was suppose to find me a hotel to stay in until the Concert Tomorrow night, but all of them had no vacancy at all” She said to them
“Hah! Don't expect too much, the hotels here are packed every second! If one leaves one will surely occupies it, Plain and simple” Berry said. .
“Hmm.. i got an idea!!” Golden Exclaimed... “Why don't you stay at our place? We have room for one more anyway”
Golden suggested... Berry agreed about the suggestion. Octavia a bit hesitant, Thinking she might be intruding but after a while, all of them agreed.
After Finishing Their Drinks, The three of them went to the apartment. The place looks like a decent place... A building with five floors, and a large lobby. “This is an apartment?! Its more like a hotel than an apartment!” Said Octavia While gazing at the building
“Come on, Octie lets go!” Golden Shoves her at the lobby and through the stairs
pushing her all the way to their room. Their room has 2 Bunk beds a medium sized bathroom. a small living room and a kitchen.
“This looks like a house, than a room” Octavia commented
“Well its a special room, after all my uncle owns this place” Berry Boasted
“Yeah well, The first time Your Uncle gave us a room, It was small and we both barely fit on the bed!” Golden said while helping Octavia with her luggage.
“Hmp! not until i used my charms on him” Berry again Boasted at them
“Yeah YOUR charms, by charms you mean crying and rolling in the lobby begging for the room? Yeah.. I guess that’s called A charm” Berry turned red while Golden and Octavia both laughed.
“ALRIGHT! enough sheesh!” Berry stopped them from laughing but not more than five seconds until they laughed again.
Later That Night, while Berry and Golden are sleeping, Octavia was in the terrace looking at the city and thinking about DJ’s where abouts, she haven't stopped thinking about her since she disappeared. “Where are you?” she whispered under her breath, afterwards she fell asleep in the terrace.
That morning they had breakfast at the lobby.
“Why are we eating here? thought we had a kitchen in the room?’ Octavia said...
“We don't have much food stocked up there so... We eat down here...” Berry said slugishly
“Not to mention your just too lazy to buy gro~” Berry cuts Golden up before she continues to make her look bad in front of Octavia. She just smiled at them both...
After having breakfast she told Berry and Golden that she would practise a while at the rehearsals in the Hall at the Center of Manehattan, she said her goodbye and went out. After minutes of walking at the town she finally arrived at the Hall... Inside several musicians where also practicing there, among them was lyra playing her lyre, she went to her and said hi
“Hello Octavia!, Fancy meeting you here, your joining the concert too?” she asked
“Why yes, I’m playing my base actually for tonight” she said Bringing out her base
“Well thats great! Good luck by the way” Lyra said to her friend “Thanks, you too” she said back to Lyra
They practiced for hours, And then Finally the Big night arrives!
All she can say that it was the “Best Night Ever!” and could not say any more...
After the concert she went out at the back entrance.. Avoiding any Pony Clash in the front entrance.. As she’s walking out of the Hall, something Bright appeared in front of her... She was blinded by the bright light and stumbled backwards and trips down...
The light Drew closer and closer, until something came to view... Something Large of what it appears like A giant Metal like Unicorn with drill like horns!!
