They say that if you remember the Eighties, you weren't there. It certainly would prove difficult to remember much if you spent most of your time with a whacky little pill stuck to your tongue. Welcome to 1987 Equestria! A place and time where cell phones doubled as bricks and the motor carriages were big enough to haul landfills around in the Manehatten River.

The mayor of Ponyville has found love and decides to settle down with her mate upon the end of her fourth term. This of which, corrupt business pony, Filthy Rich tries to capitalize on. With some encouragement from her best friend, Vinyl Scratch and some help from Twilight and the gang, Octavia stands up for what is right and runs for mayor to save the town. She and Vinyl moved to Ponyville a few years ago for the peace and quiet and she'll be damned if the sleepy, yet vibrant little town of less than six thousand ponies falls victim to the greed of corporate Equestria.

Filthy Rich of course doesn't play fair when it comes to the election and with the good of Ponyville in mind, Octavia finds that two can play at that game! All the while, Filthy's daughter is at her wits end as she gets caught right in the crossfire and desperately seeks a solution to this madness. It's late in the decade but the party is far from over! Who said politics was a boring, "behind the desk" job? For mild mannered Octavia, Things are about to get very real and her reserve tested to the limit!


Rated Teen for language, drug and alcohol references and other such suggestive dialog. Sex tag is for innuendos and vague references to sexual activities but nothing goes into graphic detail thus maintaining the Teen rating. Despite the different time period, the characters are all the same age as they are on the show and the "alternate universe" tag should cover that. Set it in 1987 because reasons. Aquaticsun on Deviantart.com made the cover.

:facehoof: A text wall is something to where one paragraph is looks like it has ten sentences and takes up a whole page up. That's what your summery is. You need a proofreader more than a editor and I'd be happy to help.

But mlp is in a industrial revolution?

4845045 :twilightsheepish: my bad lol all my friends are too busy (as if I'm not) with other stuff to read my work so I never ended up finding anyone who would :applecry: If you wanna point out any mistakes, major or minor, you're doing me a favor :twilightsmile: welcome aboard! :yay: you're hired!

Very nice opening Chapter Ben, definitely be interested in seeing where this goes from hear! And we do have time but we don't like being pressured into reading it man. :pinkiehappy:

4851492 My bad Alex :twilightsheepish: I'll try not to shove it down your throat so much :raritywink: but now ppl know my first name :twilightangry2: I'm not so mysterious anymore :fluttercry:

4859279 Since when were you trying to the man of mystery haha?

So many funny little jokes and references... I like it.

5506767 I'm very glad that you're enjoying it. :pinkiehappy: I have been worried about how people would respond to it now that I'm finally getting the time to get back into writing it again. :rainbowderp: Thanks for your input! :rainbowkiss:

""Mobster Meets Equestria"! Oh Caddy Finz, you never disappoint! I know what I'll be doing tonight!"

*facepalm*

"in case you really forgot where it is, just go upstairs and follow the glow of that gnarly lava lamp"

This got a chuckle from me,

Yay update! Might have said this before, but I like the alternate-but-not-alternate kind of world this is set in. It's an original idea - a breath of fresh air.

Oh, and Spike. :rainbowlaugh::moustache:

5945513 Original? :raritystarry: Thank you! :heart: I thought keeping a good balance between just enough alternate but not so much that it's confusing :derpytongue2: would make for a good story. :coolphoto: I've done a lot of searching and I have found almost no stories that took place in a different time period without making EVERYTHING different. A story set in Equestria where they have cars and other such tech, the characters wear clothes but are not human or anthro sounded good to me :twilightsmile: I chose the 1980s because it's my fave decade and there are so many ways for this to be made into something hilarious and even somewhat saucy :raritywink: in some parts :rainbowwild:

Poor DT. :fluttershysad:

(Now how often does that get said...? :unsuresweetie:)

5994011 Not very often at all, my friend :fluttershysad: and I thought it was time to make something where it's fitting to say it. Perhaps she's not a heartless bully after all? :applecry: Maybe she's just a lonely little filly who's dad has no time for her and could use a friend. Stay tuned as there will be no more hints until further noticed :raritywink:

"Well, bombdigiddy seeing you too, Twilight." Princess Celestia replied.

"Yeah Twilight, like lighten up." Princess Luna chuckled. "He's actually pretty dank to chill with."

My new favourite princess interpretation! :trollestia:

Kinda reminds me of Luna's ultra-modern manner of speech in Earth & Sky (which is good, and you should read it) - except it was less extreme over there :derpytongue2:

"...had Pinkie and Rainbow Dash do some snooping and we Think Filthy might be up to something..."

Probable typo

"Caml Myself?!"

Definite typo

"...possible heart attack."

:rainbowderp::pinkiegasp:
Don't you dare. Don't you :yay:ing dare.

6091614 Ah thank you for pointing that out :derpyderp1: And the only spoiler you will get regarding Vinyl is that she will not die in this story :fluttershysad: She may have ended up over working herself :pinkiesick: but I would never dream of killing off such an awesome character :raritycry:

Ahh the 80's where the lava lamps lead you in to the bathroom to the lack of the 911 emergency hotline.
Wait,didn't the 911 hotline start in the 80's?
Or am I mistaken?

Why does this not have more upvotes?!

6093552 Thank you :heart: I wonder the same thing myself sometimes. I'm glad that you're enjoying it. I'd like to hear about your thoughts when you get further into it if you wouldn't mind :yay:

Vinyl! Noooo! :raritycry: Vinyl is like, the most epic pony, please don't tell me you're doing what I think is happening :flutterrage: but seriously, great job, really well done so far :derpytongue2:

6095027 Thanks, I'm glad you like the story. :heart: I'm not killing Vinyl off if that's what you think :pinkiecrazy:

Oh damn! That's assaulting an officer. Rich just pulled a felony offence right there. You can't tranq an on duty police officer man. He just keeps digging his own grave deeper and deeper. :facehoof:

It's... over? :fluttershysad:

Well, it was a heck of a ride. And the twist was okay too.

Have my follow. You've well and truly earned it. :twilightsmile:

"Do not!..." Twilight began as she frantically covered Octavia's mouth with her hoof. "...question Pinkie's logic! Ever!"

"Why not?" Vinyl asked.

"Because it would be very bad!"

"I don't get it." Octavia said. "I'm not following on how that's such a bad thing."

"Try to imagine the dimensions of the fourth wall as we know them crumpl
ing up before our very eyes and the entire universe exploding into a hypernova!" Twilight answered.

"Okay that does sound bad. Important safety tip. Thanks, Twilight."

Luna...dammit

You pulled a Ghostbusters...you sly devil

*follow*
You earned it...

Is it acceptable to say I want more in the Clusterbuck-verse?

6122461 Thank you! :heart: And I don't see why not :trixieshiftright: I think i may take some time off in between starting my next story but my clusterf:yay::yay:k of a mind never rests so if I find myself inspired enough sooner than that, then I'll get right to work on something.

That was a really heartwarming ending. Rich got off really easy, so he'd better set things right. I'd love to see more in this universe. Sir, you have earned a follow. :scootangel:

6129187 Thank you very much! :heart: I'm glad you liked the story and the universe it's set in. Personally, I just wish this had more upvotes and didn't have as many dislikes as it does. It actually got kind of discouraging at times :fluttershysad: I actually worked harder on this and gave it much longer chapters than my first story "Mobster Meets Equestria" but alas, Clusterbuck wasn't quite as popular. I appreciate your nice input and the follow from you :twilightsmile: and I can't wait to start my next installment!

even with 80s slang, i still can hear nowacking when i read Vinyl's dialogues. Also she shows her inner Revi in here too lol

6756595 *gasp* OMG people are still reading this one? :raritystarry: LOL I always thought the same thing myself :pinkiecrazy: I've met her a few times and even went bar hopping with her in NYC last winter :derpytongue2: If I can get a hold of her (she's about as easy to reach as the president) I kinda wanted to hire her to do like an audio reading of it that I'd put on youtube. :rainbowkiss: Maybe at the next con I go to, I'll see her. She's always hanging out with TLT who is dating my roommate and I don't have any trouble reaching him :trixieshiftright:

Pulaski? Damn your hometown ain't too far from my hometown.

Nice! Mind sharing as to which town? You can pm me that if you'd rather or not answer at all if you don't want to, just curious is all.

I saw your review! 👍 Definitely far from my best work and this one in particular is actually my least favorite of all the ones I've written 😅 I hope it didn't make you throw up too much :pinkiesick: and honestly, I really hope you'd consider giving my other works a go :raritywink: This work wasn't particularly meant to be serious and I'm sorry if you didn't like it very much.

Great story! I just finished reading it a few days ago! I like all the ways you pon-ify words like car names! This gave me a good chuckle. The ending was great and was a good happy one.
But I must ask: how would ponies bump and grind?
