Vinyl Scratch challenges Octavia to a pie eating bet and wins. As per the stipulations of the bet, Vinyl dares Octavia to work at Wubway for a week. Shenanigans ensue.

Most ponies don't understand how Vinyl Scratch and Octavia, two ponies who seem to each live in their own world, could become best friends. That's because most ponies don't know how much Vinyl has helped and shaped Octavia into the mare she is today. Every so often, Octavia will remember the hard times she had while in the Academy and remind herself just how much Vinyl has done for her.

Author's notes:
This story is sort of a spin-off from my story An Octave Higher. Reading An Octave Higher is recommended but not required.

I got the idea for this story after reading HowXu's comic and seeing how perfectly it fit with my other story, I decided to turn his comic into a fanfiction! I hope you enjoy it!
