It's been 3 days since Cheese and Octavia came to Manehatten. It's time to get everything ready for the big party. Cheese is inside the concert hall wearing a hard hat and holding a clipboard which had the plans for the entertainment on it. Octavia is on stage with the band practicing her song for her performance at the party. It's all normal for now, but everypony knows when Cheese Sandwich is around it never stays normal. He's bound to 'liven' up things at any moment. Octavia was an unsuspecting pony who didn't know Cheese very well, so she was completely unprepared.
All of a sudden, a loud bang was heard and something was blasted into the sky. "WAAAAHOOOOOOO!" A scream of excitement came from above. The thing that was shot up was now coming back down. It crashed into the ground. Cheese Sandwich then walked out of the cloud of smoke. "WOWEY! That was a 'blast'." He said, making a terrible pun. He walks up to the stage and puts hoof and foreleg around Octavia's shoulders. "What'd ya think, Octavia? Exciting, right?" He asked.
"Not sure 'exciting' is the word I would use." She responded while rolling her eyes in annoyance. "Look, Cheese Sandwich, I'm assuming you really like parties, but this is supposed to be a 'fancy' party, this silliness simply cannot do." She said, stating a point.
Cheese Sandwich looks around at the concert hall and what he did. He thought about what Octavia said. After giving thought to her statement, he looked back at Octavia. "Sorry Octavia, but a Party Pony's got to do, what a Party Pony's got to do." He said. "I'm known around Equestria for silly things like this." He continued. "And I like doing it. Always have every since that day, years ago, at Pinkie's party." He lets go of Octavia's shoulders and goes back to the canon he shot out of and began talking to the workers about how it could improve.
Octavia wasn't very happy about what she heard. How could the ponies who arranged this party hire such an unsophisticated pony like Cheese Sandwich? Octavia started back to practice in hopes of getting her mind of this silliness.
Two hours pass. Cheese and Octavia are heading their way to the room for some rest. Octavia can't get what Cheese told her out of her head. Cheese Sandwich is definitely getting the idea that Octavia doesn't like him. So much in fact, he didn't say a word to her the whole trip to the room.
When they finally make it to their room and walk inside, Cheese Sandwich goes to his bed, head down with a frown. Octavia notices this and goes over to him. "Cheese Sandwich?" She addressed him with extreme confusion and concern as if it were Vinyl. She put her hoof on his back in a comforting manner. "Are you alright? You're not acting all happy and excited like normal." She continued with the same level of concern in her voice.
"You don't like me, do you?" He asked in response with a soft, sad tone. "You wish you had never met me or knew I existed." He continued almost in tears.
"What? What in Equestria gave that idea?" She asked him without realizing the things she'd been thinking of him.
"The look in your eyes when around me, the hard silence on the way back to our room." He responded. "It's obvious that you don't like me, Octavia. You don't have to lie." He continued.
"Oh...that. Right." She said while looking away slightly. She felt really bad now. Mainly about the things she thought. She could only imagine his reaction if he knew about that stuff. "Look, Cheese, I am very sorry about that. I was just frustrated. I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Just forget about it." He said while getting into his bed. "Let's just get some sleep, the party's in a few days."
"*sigh* Alright then." She said while getting into bed and turning the lights off. After a while, they both fall asleep.
