"He's WHAT?!"
It was Sunday and Octavia was at the theater where her ensemble was practicing for their show. Currently Octavia was telling them about how Caramel was coming to work with her on Monday.
"Are you crazy?!" Beauty Brass yelled.
"No! I just didn't like how he was accusing me of something I would never do!" Octavia yelled back.
"Caramel is going to make your new job a living Tartares!" Fredric yelled.
"And didn't you get this job to GET AWAY from Caramel?" Harpo asked.
"I know! And yes I did, but if I take him once then he will probably be at least a little less annoying," Octavia said.
"But what if he becomes friends with one of your coworkers?" Beauty Brass asked.
"Don't worry, Lyra and Bon Bon will stop that from happening," Octavia answered.
"Lyra and Bon Bon?" Fredric asked, confused because he had never heard of them before.
"They are her friends from work," Beauty Brass explained.
Before Fredric, Harpo, or Beauty could yell at Octavia anymore, she got a text from Caramel,
'Downstairs.'
Octavia sighed and then grabbed her cello.
"I have to go now, Caramel is here," Octavia said and then left.
Her ensemble waited until they heard the front door close, signifying that Octavia left. Once they heard it, they started talking.
"Tomorrow we are going to visit Octavia's office," Beauty Brass said.
"Agreed," Fredric said.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Harpo asked, in response Beauty Brass and Fredric glared at him.
"I mean... GREAT PLAN!"
~~~The next day~~~
"I can't wait to meet your coworkers!" Caramel said happily.
Octavia and Caramel were currently in Caramel's car. He was driving them to Octavia's work.
Octavia nodded with a sad smile in response to Caramel's excitement.
"Are you sure this is okay? Don't you have to work too?" Octavia asked.
"Sure! It won't bother them if I miss one day of work!" Caramel answered.
A few minutes later Caramel had finished parking the car. Octavia and Caramel were now outside Octavia's office.
"Well, here it is," Octavia said, looking outside and trying to buy as much time as possible before they had to go in.
"Yep! C'mon let's go! You don't want to be late!" Caramel said excitedly, acting like a foal getting to go into a toy store.
Once they got inside, the receptionist started talking,
"Hello! Could you please tell me your name and purpose to be here?" The receptionist asked.
"Hey! Everypony has a purpose of existent! Asking her why she exists is rude and racist!" Caramel said angrily and banged his hoof onto the desk. In response, the receptionist hid behind her desk in fear.
"Caramel, she is a Earth pony. Also she meant why was I coming into the building," Octavia said.
"Oh.... Sorry," Caramel said shyly, embarrassed about making a scene.
Octavia, already annoyed, started rubbing between her eyes.
"My name is Octavia Melody, and I work for DJ PON3," Octavia said.
“AND I’M HER HUSBAND!” Caramel said proudly.
"Okay, go on ahead," The receptionist said, behind the desk, her voice shaking.
And with that, Octavia and Caramel entered the elevator.
This is going to be a long day...
~~~Upstairs~~~
The elevator opened and Octavia started walking straight to where she worked. But was stopped by Caramel.
"Aren't you going to introduce me to everypony?" Caramel asked, sounding disappointed.
Octavia sighed in annoyance and said, "I only know three ponies here,"
She is trying to pretend to not knowing anypony so I won't find out she is cheating on me!, Caramel thought to himself.
"Well, then can you introduce me to them?!" Caramel asked excitedly.
Octavia sighed in annoyance again before answering, "Sure,"
Caramel then followed Octavia to the lunchroom, where Lyra and Bon Bon were.
Lyra was sitting at the table, drinking some coffee and reading a book, and Bon Bon was putting new food into the cabinets.
Lyra looked up from her book, when she saw Octavia and Caramel she put on a smile and said, "Good morning Octavia! Good morning Caramel!"
"Caramel?!" Bon Bon said dropping some of the food and confused by hearing Octavia's husband's name.
"Good morning Lyra! Good morning Bon Bon!" Octavia said.
"Hello again Lyra, who's the other mare?" Caramel asked.
In a flash, Bon Bon went next to Octavia and put her hoof around her.
"I'm Bon Bon! Nice to meet you Caramel!" Bon Bon said. She then whispered to Octavia, "What is he doing here?!"
Octavia looked at her confused and then answered, "You don't know? I told Lyra that-"
"HELLO BON BON!" Caramel said, interrupting Octavia. He put out a hoof to shake, and Bon Bon shook it.
Her... SHE'S THE ONE OCTAVIA IS CHEATING ON ME WITH!, Caramel yelled in his mind.
"Well, this has been great, but I need to talk to Lyra, in private," Bon Bon said, clearly annoyed at Lyra. Bon Bon then walked over to Lyra, bite on her ear and started dragging her into another room.
"OW OW OW!" Lyra yelled in pain, following Bon Bon.
"Wait!" Octavia yelled, Bon Bon and Lyra stopped, "Where's Vinyl?"
"She's sick," Lyra answered, before howling in pain again as Bon Bon kept dragging her.
"Vinyl? Who's that?" Caramel asked.
"Vinyl is DJ PON3," Octavia explained.
So that's why she went to a club... AND THE PONY THAT HAD THEIR HOOF AROUND MY OCTAVIA MUST HAVE BEEN BON BON! I BET THOSE TWO WENT ON A DATE TO SEE DJ PON3'S SHOW!
"Well, I hope I will get to meet her soon. I also hope to get to know Bon Bon more," Caramel said.
What is Caramel planning?
"Well, do you want to see me work now?" Octavia asked.
"Nope! I am going to go and meet the other coworkers," Caramel said, and then walked off.
Let's see just how much these coworkers know about Bon Bon....
Octavia stood there for a second before running off to where Bon Bon and Lyra went.
Oh nonononoNO! If Caramel becomes friends with one of my coworkers, then he has an excuse to come here! I need to tell Bon Bon and Lyra to keep an eye on him!
~~~Meanwhile~~~
"Spit it out Lyra! Tell me what happened!" Bon Bon said angrily.
"I will, as soon as my ear stops BURNING," Lyra said, rubbing her ear.
"Now Lyra!" Bon Bon said, stomping her hoof onto the ground.
Lyra sighed in defeat, "Okay fine. Last night, Octavia texted me that Caramel would be coming to work today,"
Bon Bon glared at her. Lyra looked around the room, trying not to make eye contact with Bon Bon, but once she did she yelled,
"WHAT?!"
"So, Vinyl just happened to be sick today? Hm?" Bon Bon said, still glaring.
Lyra sighed again, "I told Vinyl not to come to work today,"
"Why?!" Bon Bon asked.
"Because Vinyl-" Lyra started but was interrupted by Octavia.
"There you two are! I need to work but Caramel wants to go meet our other coworkers, I need one of you to keep an eye on him," Octavia explained.
"I'll keep an eye on him, Lyra can help you work since you're still new here," Bon Bon said and then walked off.
Octavia and Lyra started walking towards the recording studio when Octavia asked,
"Why didn't you tell Bon Bon about Caramel?"
Lyra sighed and then answered, "Octavia listen, I really like you, and so does Bonnie. We already consider you our close friend and we have only known you for a few days! But even though you are our friend, there are still secrets we have, there are many things you don't know about us and things we don't even know about each other. One day we will learn everything about each other, but until then just understand there is a reason for why I do and don't do things,"
~~~Meanwhile~~~
"So, what do you know about Bon Bon?" Caramel asked.
"Well, she is very close with the boss and she is a Fillyfooler," The employee answered and continued typing on the computer.
I knew it!
"Caramel, there you are! Want to join me in the lunchroom and have some coffee?" Bon Bon asked.
My opportunity!
"Sure Bon Bon!" Caramel said excitedly and followed Bon Bon into the lunchroom.
"Hey Jim," One of the employees yelled.
"Yeah Bob?" The employee that was talking to Caramel before asked.
"Why'da tell him all of that?" Bob asked.
"Because, I feel like if I do, I am helping drama," Jim answered.
~~~Later~~~
Caramel was sitting at the table in the lunchroom, Bon Bon was making coffee for the two of them. Once she sat down with the coffee, got up from his seat Caramel spoke.
"SO YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S BEEN DATING MY WIFE?!"
Bon Bon stared at him for a second, dumbfounded.
"No! I'm dating Lyra!" Bon Bon said.
"OH SO YOU'RE CHEATING ON HER TOO?!" Caramel yelled.
"Wha- What?! NO!" Bon Bon yelled, getting up from her seat.
"I BET YOU FEEL SO SPECIAL BEING LOVED BY TWO MARES! WELL, LET'S SEE HOW GOOD YOU REALLY ARE!" Caramel yelled and then pushed Bon Bon against the wall and started kissing her.
~~~Meanwhile~~~
"I can't believe Octavia is working in a office," Fredric said, getting out of the elevator.
Fredric, Beauty Brass, and Harpo were all at Octavia's office.
"Let's go find Octavia," Beauty Brass said and started walking.
The three of them looked for Octavia, and continued before they ended up in front of the lunch room. They opened the door and found Caramel kissing another mare.
"CARAMEL?!" Beauty Brass yelled.
Caramel quickly dropped the mare at the sound of her voice.
"WHAT IN EQUESTRIA ARE YOU DOING?!" Beauty Brass yelled.
"I- I can explain-" Caramel started but was interrupted by Fredric.
"This is appealing, you sir are a disgusting stallion who should have never had anything to do with Octavia!" Fredric yelled, getting closer to Caramel with each word.
"LISTEN! OCTAVIA HAS BEEN CHEATING ON ME WITH THIS MARE SO I WANTED TO GIVE OCTAVIA A TASTE OF HER OWN MEDICINE!" Caramel yelled.
"I AM NOT DATING OCTAVIA!" Bon Bon yelled.
"Who are you anyway?" Harpo asked.
"My name is Bon Bon," Bon Bon answered.
Beauty Brass's ears popped up at the sound of Bon Bon's name.
"I've heard of you! You are one of the mares Octavia is friends with!" Beauty Brass said.
"Yes! That's me!," Bon Bon said and then turned to Caramel, "See?! I am FRIENDS with Octavia!"
"Friends with benefits," Harpo mumbled to himself and then laughed. Beauty Brass then hit him on the head.
"Ow!" Harpo yelled and rubbed his head.
"WHAT ARE YOU THREE DOING HERE ANYWAY?!" Caramel yelled.
"We wanted to check on Octavia," Beauty Brass answered.
"WHY?!" Caramel yelled. The three ensemble members looked at each other before galloping out of the room.
"I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!" Harpo yelled, while galloping out of the room.
"SHUT UP HARPO!" Beauty Brass and Fredric yelled at the same time.
~~~Meanwhile~~~
Caramel and Bon Bon stood there, staring at the spot the ensemble members were just a few minutes ago. Then Bon Bon started walking out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Caramel asked angrily.
"To my marefriend, Lyra," Bon Bon said, not even turning to look at him. She then walked out of the room leaving Caramel alone.
~~~Meanwhile~~~
"Ready Octavia?!" Lyra yelled from the viewing area. Octavia was in the recording area, with her cello about to play the music On the sheet.
"Ready," Octavia confirmed and started playing.
While Octavia was playing, Lyra was pressing buttons and making sure it was recording properly. Lyra was concentrating on her work, when she heard the door to the viewing platform open. This was not a new thing for her because Vinyl had been doing that ever since Octavia started working there.
What did surprise Lyra however was when she was pushed against the wall and she felt somepony kissing her. It was Bon Bon.
At first Lyra was frozen in shock, but she quickly started kissing back and it became a full on makeout session.
Once Octavia finished the piece, she looked up to find Lyra and Bon Bon making out against the wall.
What in Equestria...
Before Octavia could say anything, she felt her phone vibrate as she got a message. She took out her phone and saw the message was from Vinyl.
'How's work?'
Octavia then texted back,
'Good, but is it normal for Lyra and Bon Bon to start making out?'
Vinyl quickly responded,
'No, could you send a recording?'
'Why?'
'For... Scientific reasons ;)'
~~~Later~~~
The day was over, Octavia was in the car looking out the window, it was raining. Caramel was oddly quiet during the ride, not that Octavia mind.
As they started driving away from work, Octavia saw Lyra and Bon Bon close together, walking on the street, it looked like they were about to go on a date. Octavia then heard her phone go off as she got a message. She looked at her phone and saw it was a message from Beauty Brass,
'How was work?'
Octavia smiled and texted back,
'Good, nothing eventful happened,'
She never got a response.
Octavia continued looking out the window, thinking about what Lyra had said.
We really do know nothing about each other, but why am I so drawn to them.
Octavia picked up her phone again and scrolled through her contacts. Stopping on Vinyl.
Especially her.
