Physically and emotionally tired from her latest tour, Vinyl decides that a pet would help to calm her nerves. Of course not just any pet will do, and Vinyl picks the most exotic pet in the store, an Octaviapus. But when “Octy” begins to grow at an alarming rate and ponies begin to disappear, Lyra begins to wonder if “Octy” is really as innocent as Vinyl claims. Could it all be a misunderstanding or does “Octy” have an insatiable thirst for pony flesh?

Clearly the title is a reference to the musical "Little Shop of Horrors." which you don't need to have watched to enjoy the fic. The fic is not based on the movie or musical, but Octy may channel her inner Audrey 2 lol.

Edit- added above text.

There is nothing to regret. I'm even tracking this story.

...Okay then. This might very well be the weirdest thing I've read in a while. And I'm sure it's only going to get weirder from here. This should be fun :pinkiehappy:

The note part bugs me though. It seems to be nothing more than an obvious plot device. Is there any reason why the shopkeeper couldn't have just told them the "one crucial rule" in addition to writing it down?

OH MEH GAWD I can't wait for the next chapter :rainbowderp: it's so good!

3131002 lol thank u!3131005 lol damn...I watched the whole thing lol and imagined Octavia as the plant lmao....love it! Thank u for posting the video!

3131050 haha of course it was a plot device lol like why the group of teenagers feel the need to split up...in a creepy house lol....but seriously I do plan to address the reason he couldn't tell them but it probably won't be revealed till the last chap or so....:) lol thank u for reading and commenting!

3131141 lol thank u! Already getting ideas for chapter 2! Will post ASAP!

Now I have TWO stories that I can't wait to read :pinkiehappy: :pinkiegasp:It's because of you I forget to write, don't take that as a bad thing!!!! :derpytongue2:

3131204
Well as long as there is a legitimate reason for it I'm fine with it. But plot devices for the sake of plot devices always bug me. Like those teenagers splitting up just so it's easier for the monster to kill them. Plot-induced stupidity should never exist in a good story.

3131248 lol I'll take it as a compliment! Haha ever since I saw this fanart the story just sort of planned itself! Thank u for checking it out :) now get back to writing lol

3131287 Hmmmmm, me getting back at writing....alright you've convinced me :derpytongue2:

Obviously Octy is kidnapping them for a tea party.

3131204
No problem. I've not seen the whole movie in years. Guess now's as good a time as any to watch it again.

It's to soon to tell but I have a feeling that this is going to be a very amusing fic.

3131292 Lol ur easy to convince! Hmmm....I just had an evil thought haha I say it like it never happens...most of my thoughts are pretty evil lol

3131438 clearly!! Damnit! I can't put anything past u can I? Lol

3131536 lol I want to watch it now too! Haha

3131663 :derpytongue2: Do I even want to know? I kinda do..is that a bad thing?:twilightblush:

3131285 I'm with u friend! I'm the one nobody wants to go to the movie with because after its over I point out all the ways the tragedy could have been avoided lol :)

3131655 I hope so! I'm trying to make it a little silly hAha

3132101 do tell?

3132426 all hail the watcher! *putting on my clothes* lol

3132675 so Octy can grow up big and strong! Lol

3132777
I would gladly watch a movie with you. And then join you in over-analyzing and complaining about it :twilightsmile:

3132777 Whacky, zany moments centering around Vinyl steadfastly defending Octy beyond all reason, and then Octy being innocent. Possibly.

*sees picture and name*
Wtf?
*reads "octy"*
(A la Ratchetness) WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!! :rainbowlaugh:

3133985 lol shush!!! Ur too smart for ur own good lol>>3133546 haha! Awesome!
3135018 lol!!!

The note says "never feed it after midnight"?

3139909 I was waiting for someone to say that lol....gremlins!

3138332 will do!

3140402 I know right? Lyra in pants is best lyra

3140461 Yes, but what about...LYRA IN JORTS!?! MUAHAHAAAAA!! Just kidding, if that happened the universe would collapse on itself out of pure awesomeness.

3140466 lol did u mean shorts? I just pictures her in tight Lycra spandex and the song who wear short shorts was playing in the background lol

3140485 No i meant jorts(they are the really short jean shorts where you can see the pockets) and for that second part: YES!! nuff said.

3140508 after I replied i realized u meant jean shorts...oh my eyes! Lol

Sing it! She don't come from no Black Lagoon, she's from across the stars and beyond the moon! She's a mean grey mother from outer space! And she! Is! Bad! :trollestia:

Nopony was going to come between Vinyl Scratch and herself.

I sense a nice boat in Vinyl's future.

3131050
Or why Lyra doesn't go back and ask the shopkeeper what the rule is? :facehoof:

3150411
Yes, there is that as well. Lyra probably thinks that since Scratch is a grown mare she take responsibility and take care of her problems herself. Clearly she doesn't know Scratch very well.

I get the feeling this is going to be really wierd. Haven't seen Little Shop of Horrors (yet; they're showing it at a theater in November, and I'm going), but I know what it's about. I can already tell this will be ridiculous.

3161623 I can guarantee this will be the most ridiculous thing I've written on this site so far lol

3161942 More ridiculous than "You're a Real Doll, Octavia"? I'm not sure if I should be excited or scared.

3162135 well that one was for sexy cloppy purposes lol if u like this story down the road can u give it a thumbs?

No clop in this one

After spending a fun night with her new pet

I've read too much clop to understand this sentence in an innocent way... :twilightsheepish:

Hilariously wierd, and wierdly hilarious at the same time. I've heard of Gremlins, but I also heard somewhere that it was discontinued extremely quickly for some reason, and is now never shown on TV or theaters ever, even during Cult Classic nostalgia specials and the like.
