Blinkadette Rosalyn Pie's 20th birthday is approaching, and she knows exactly what that means: her two siblings will be coming home. Her older sister is a world-famous cellist and composer, and she's bringing her very special somepony to meet the family for the first time. Her younger sister has saved Equestria from certain doom no less than three times. Blinkie... manages rock farming finances (accounts payable). With so many things, business and private, stacking up on her plate at once, her only wish is to make it through this birthday in one piece.

Vinyl Scratch has two options, one leading to safety, the other to certain death. However, both these outcomes are influenced by the one difficult choice that she never wanted to make, whether dream or reality.

It's letting go.

Vinyl Scratch is a mare of mystery: hard to meet and even harder to get to know. It is an image she has cultivated since her early days as a DJ and is not likely to ever let go. She is the queen of the music scene and her purple shades are her crown. To her roommate, Octavia, she is a vulgar annoyance and a blemish on her otherwise spotless life. However, when she accidentally destroys the one thing that matters most to the unicorn, the cellist finds herself learning more than she ever cared to know about the rock-loving mare.

Vinyl tells Octavia about the consequences of eating a pineapple. Tavi doesn't buy it. Rated Teen for mild sexual references.

Vinyl's best friend is a little bit too "friendly".

Today is the day you finally seize your rightful position as lead cellist in the Canterlot Philharmonic Orchestra.
Unless that is, a certain ashen mare has anything to do with it.
Be on your guard. The firebrand with amethyst eyes plays dirty.

Vinyl cuddles with Octavia.

On one of their monthly picnics, now including a certain draconequus, Fluttershy invites her friend Octavia Melody. The girls, and Discord, are actually quite surprised to find out that she's friends with one of the most elegant ponies around.

When asked about how their friendship began, they all find out that Fluttershy is a natural when it comes to one of the most elegant instruments around: the violin.

The night of the Gala was meant to be the greatest night of her life.

Then that mare ruined everything.

Octavia doesn't want to hear Pinkie Pie's apologies. They always fall flat.

Anon made a major impact on the lives of every friend he made in his time in Equestria, but he had to return home sometime. However, his friends weren't ready for him to leave just yet. Writing letters is supposed to be therapeutic...
