The nice sound of cello playing swept throughout the room as a grey earth pony with a black mane and tail practiced with her cello like she does every morning. Her roommate, a white unicorn with a mane and tail that is two different shades of blue wearing purplish-pink sunglasses, came downstairs from her room and grabbed a sandwich from the kitchen. "Sounding better, Octy." Said the white mare.
"Thanks, I've been working on this song for a few months now." Octavia said with a smile of accomplishment. "I just need a place to play it and show it off." She continued.
"Mail call!" Called the mail mare, Derpy, from outside.
"Mail's here." Said the white mare. "I'll get it." She continued as she trotted out the door.
"Thanks, Vinyl." Octavia said while going back to practicing her cello.
Vinyl comes back inside with the mail, which is being suspended in the air by her magic. "Alright these are mine and this is yours." Said Vinyl while giving an envelope to Octavia. "It says it's from Manehatten. The concert hall and ballroom." She continued while going back upstairs.
"Manehatten, the concert hall and ballroom?!" Octavia asked curiously, but Vinyl could tell she was excited from how loudly and enthusiastically she asked. Octavia had been wanting to play in Manehatten for about a year now. She may have played at the Grand Galloping Gala, but she's wanted to play in Manehatten since then. She opened the envelope with out hesitation. She began reading the letter that was inside.
The letter says:
Dear Miss Octavia,
You have been invited to play at the concert hall and ballroom in Manehatten. We hope you can make it. We've heard a lot about your music. It's very famous since the Grand Galloping Gala. The envelope contains your train ticket, and the VIP pass into the concert hall. All expenses have been prepayed. The rehearsal for the party's music will being in 3 days. We hope to see you there.
P.S. You will stay at the SugarHoof Inn and suites and you will share a room with Mister Cheese Sandwich until the day of the party ends. Enjoy yourself while there.
"Oh my Celestia! I can't believe it! I'm going to Manehatten to play at a party!" Octavia exclaimed with extreme enthusiasm. "I have to get my things together, Vinyl you're watching the house while I'm gone!" She continued excitedly.
"Ok, Octy!" Vinyl yelled from upstairs. Octavia's excited screaming was loud enough for Vinyl to hear through her music, which was blasting into her ears through her headphones. Octavia then ran upstairs into her room to pack.
"Oh, I do wonder who this Mister Cheese Sandwich is." She said with curiosity. "Oh well, I don't care. I'm going to Manehatten!" She continued while continuing packing up her cello and everything else.
