There are lots of ponies who do their jobs or just sitting on benches. Music can be heard here everyday and everynight at parties, galas or when somepony has a birthday or celebrates something. There is one pony that is called Octavia she writes too many songs and melodies but her songs are now unpopular 'cause that new time. She took some papers and start writing some notes for her emotional melody she wrote 50 notes, than her brain stopped.... ''Ugh....my head I must take a rest.'' She said to herself and went to her room than lay on her bed and snuggled under blanket. Next morning she stood up and go to her music room where she practice all her melodies and all her instruments were stocked here and what she have here...guitars, violins and her old songs with melodies that she wrote long time ago. Then she went to Ponyville and start looking for inspiration from ponies that lived here. Sound of the violin made good emotion in Octavia and she smiled to herself and inspire herself, but it wasn't something that Octavia never heard she liked....no liked is poor word LOVED she loved melody, melody was her weakness 'cause when somebody said ''melody'' she happily jumped and scream in luck. Day pass and Octavia went home at night in fright, night was horrible at Ponyville because screams and creepy noises began. Octavia reached her home and sat down on bench next to table and thought what to do next. She took a paper wrote some notes than put it in a drawer and went to her bedroom to check forest through the window to find some inspiration, looking at trees and grass her thoughts pointed at some happy melody to wrote. Then she went sleep and dreaming about something. the dream was nice she was star and most famous pony in Ponyville but the dream was interrupted by alarm clock. As alarm clock stopped Octavia took her book and readed a story about intruments and how they works, she has only one instrument cello... She loved to play on cello in public because everyone loved it, but now they don't, everyone said cello is old instrument on this time. She go to the shop and buyed strings than replace the strings on her cello with the new strings and as she played her strings sounds like something awesome. She went to make a show, everyone came and looked at her. Octavia started playing... After some minutes her awesome melody ended and the crowd shouted her name and clap, this make Octavia tear up a little. She was so proud to yourself for this show and she smiled all day at everyone. Next morning she go to the bar and order some food with drink ate it and relaxing, she noticed pony that playing the same song as her. ''Hey where you get this song?'' she asked. ''From you Octavia, your song was the best song that I've ever heard.'' Pony said. Octavia grinned at him and sit back on bench thinking. Night came, ponies went home and Octavia just sitting and thinking what do to next. She wanted to paint her cello with her favourite color, black. She went to the basement in her home she take basket with black color and brush, painting and smiling at the cello she finished it. Night came and everything were silent that night but Octavia was still awake to eat her food that she prepared at the morning. Storm began and Octavia startled and fell down on the floor, luckily the food not fall because Octavia put it at table. ''Aww.....'' She said to herself in pain. ''Why this things always happen to Me!'' She said. She stood up and went to bed but she heard some noises but she ignored it just walking to her bedroom and lay on the bed in pain. Next morning she go practice a melody with her cello. Than she went to kitchen to do some food. cereals with milk was her favourite food.

''It's just in my heart.'' She replied to the ponies. The ponies went away and Octavia was so proud to herself because she never think she will be the most talented musician in Ponyville. Her eyes shined so bright and her cello was ready to play but Octavia was tired from all this.
