Things may not have had a positive outcome for both of these ponies. But sometimes things happen turn out better then before. A fortunate accident, if you will.

The prompt: Obscure Shipping.
Update 1: 7/9/17, redid a few things i didn't find happy about, now that the contest is over. May have a fixed a few things, don't remember honestly.
You really need a proofreader. Sentence fragments, tense inconsistencies, a few spelling issues... This is coming from the son of a English teacher, but still, this is missing a considerable amount.
That being said, the idea itself is an intriguing and surprisingly logical one. I think the story would've been a lot stronger if it had focused on Octavia throughout its length. Have her wake up, discover the bare cupboards, grumble her way to the marketplace all unkempt... and then pause as this miserable day gives way to something beautiful. Then she tracks down the source, and the conversation can begin, allowing Bulk to cite his family's wisdom in a way that doesn't directly address the audience.
There's definitely a promising concept here. I hope you continue experimenting and improving. Thank you for your participation in the Extravaganza.
I've got to say, I love these fanfics where we get to see Bulk Biceps soft side, and I think you did a great job with this one. I never would have pictured a shipping with him and Octavia, but I like the idea now that you've brought it to light. 👍
Less hair means no worries about having long strands sticking to every surface. That's why I dig chicks with short hair, and women should date men with short hair too.
Why does everypony not wanna try Bulk Biceps' hot salty nuts?!
So that's how Octavia was tempted to date Bulk Biceps!
And soon she's gonna be his new special somepony!

Well NOW you can thank Discord for making it canon when he mentioned that she was dating Bulk Biceps to Big Mac and Spike!
Awww that's actually kind of nice and seeing bulk in a new light that he can be as gentle and even he knows how to play a violin which that's pretty cool and Octavia never expected that at all and despite her bad days she really did enjoy this day meeting and getting to know bulk bicep better I would say this was a pretty nice and cute story keep up the good work
