Rave
Octavia returned to her booth seat after a quick refill from the flirtatious bartender. She had decided to go with a brandy, feeling it would help her live up to her debonair demeanor. She sipped slowly while she waited for Vinyl to go onstage. She smiled to herself – The brandy was a good decision.
She managed to distract herself by observing all the other ponies that were at the club. She recognized a few of them. Rose had finally managed to escort Carrot Top out of the club, even though she fought back rather clumsily. Eventually she just sort of collapsed and gave up. Tavi couldn’t help but giggle at the sight.
A bright flash on the front stage caught her attention as a white mare walked out proud with her purple shades.
I had almost forgotten those.
The mare smiled and the audience applauded as she set up her stuff. Octavia smiled nervously. She was about to witness a miracle or a train wreck. She hoped, for the sake of her friend, and her friend’s ego that it was the former.
Octavia tried to relax. It was just DJ’ing right? Worst case scenario Vinyl played track after track with no interesting transitions. Probably not the most interesting night, but the ponies here couldn’t be sober enough to be fine critics could they? Surely Vinyl’s reputation couldn’t be shattered by one poor performance.
Then again, Tavi knew nothing about clubs. As hard as she tried to reassure herself, she knew that anything could happen. That’s what frightened her the most. She continued to sip away at her spirits, trying to remain calm. Two and a half hours and it would all be over, for better or worse.
She was brought to attention by a voice that came over the PA system.
“Is everypony ready to party?” the voice asked.
The crowd applauded. Octavia smiled, but trembled slightly. The first track played. Octavia did not recognize the song, as she didn’t listen to much house, but it seemed to have a decent enough beat. She exhaled a bit as she noticed ponies start to go back to talking with one another. Some of them were on the main floor dancing and others were like her, sitting in a booth, nodding along slowly to the music.
Everything seemed to be going well enough, to which Tavi was grateful. She swirled her drink in her glass absent mindedly when she noticed a pony sit down next to her.
“Hiya Octy.” Rose said, slipping beside her new friend with what Octavia assumed to be a martini. Octavia flinched a bit out of surprise, but returned the gesture.
“Hey Rose.” She said “You sure have a way of sneaking up on ponies.”
Rose laughed. “That’s weird, everypony says that.” She took a sip from her drink, poking the olive with a toothpick. “I guess I’m just really outgoing.” Her smile was genuine. Tavi could feel that she was just happy to be around everypony. She might have been a bit over the top, but she was really friendly and something about that made Tavi smile.
“It’s not a problem.” Tavi laughed “Just something I noticed.” She looked back up at the stage to see how Vinyl was doing. Vinyl was onstage constantly checking her settings. She looked paranoid but Tavi knew she was just being careful.
Rose caught her attention with a question. “You come to places like the often Octy? I don’t see you around town much.” Octavia and Vinyl were a bit of a mystery to the mare. She had seen most all of the other “changed” ponies around town. Vinyl and Octavia were good at keeping hidden.
“We tend to stay at home a lot.” Tavi responded. She didn’t think much of it, but the two of them had been fairly reclusive. She wasn’t sure if they had just been enjoying each other’s company and getting to know each other, or if they were both just fairly anti-social.
Perhaps it had something to do with the two of them growing closer. It had only been a few days since she and Vinyl had started sleeping together, and that was in the most basic definition of the term. Vinyl liked to joke about it, but the two of them had done nothing other than sleep in that bed. Tavi viewed it more as a close friendship than anything, but she was more than willing to see what would come of it.
Tavi smiled at her new friend. “We’ve been keeping each other company mainly. I guess we didn’t think much about socializing with everypony else.”
Rose nodded in understanding. “Makes sense.” She said. “I was really close with my roommate when I got here too.”
Octavia was interested. “Who are you rooming with?” she asked.
Rose rolled her eyes. “Mrs. Friendly from earlier.” She laughed. Octavia joined her. It made sense now that she had been the one to take Carrot Top home when she had gotten a little…loopy.
“She’s great, don’t get me wrong, she’s just so…” Rose tried to find a word.
“I think that sums it up pretty nicely.” Tavi laughed. “She seems very…open” she added.
Rose nodded in agreement. “Oh yeah. She ain’t afraid to speak her mind.” They both laughed and took a sip from their drinks. “So, I came here with Carrot Top,” Rose stated. “Who is your date?”
Octavia was confused. “Wait, you two are like, a thing?” Tavi didn’t think that two ponies would be able to hit it off so quickly. They hadn’t been in Ponyville very long.
Rose smiled as she answered. “Yeah, we just started dating a few days ago.” She looked both happy and excited. “At first we weren’t sure about it cause, well you know.” Rose blushed.
“I think I do.” Octavia answered cautiously. “I’m not quite sure though.” She distracted herself with her drink. “My guess would be that it was a bit awkward, seeing as you are both mares.”
Rose laughed. “Yeah, I guess that could be awkward, but that’s not quite what I meant.”
Octavia was curious. “If that wasn’t the awkward part then what was?” Tavi felt like she was missing something important.
Rose blushed. “Well, I’m not sure if its taboo to talk about, but we all had past lives right?”
Tavi knew what Rose was talking about, but she didn’t see how it could be considered taboo. “Yeah,” she answered. “We are all new here, but I don’t see why we shouldn’t talk about it.”
Rose looked around paranoid. “Well, we’re supposed to be on like, TV right?”
Octavia blushed. She had honestly forgotten about that part of the deal. She wondered now what her family would think looking at her new life.
“I honestly had completely forgotten about that.” Tavi responded. “Is it wrong for us to talk about our past lives here? If it is, Vinyl and I have been breaking the rules a lot.”
Rose leaned in towards Tavi. “I doubt it’s illegal or something, It’s just kinda weird to talk about.” She said. “Like, if they were watching us talk about our past that would weird them out. We are supposed to remain anonymous I think.”
That made sense enough to Tavi. She tried to think how their situation might look from the outside. She had to admit; hearing who all these ponies used to be might be a bit strange for a TV show.
Rose was whispering to Tavi now. “It doesn’t matter I don’t think, just keep it on the down low.”
Octavia couldn’t help but giggle. They were acting as if they were some underground thug ring, or like they had just talked about Fight Club or something. She thought they might be acting a bit melodramatic.
“You still didn’t answer my question.” Tavi laughed. “Not to get in the way of any conspiracy theories, but what made the situation between you two so awkward?”
Rose laughed. “To be honest?” she looked around to see if anyone else was within earshot. “We both used to be guys.”
Octavia giggled.
“Hey that’s not funny.” Rose smiled. “It was really, really awkward at first. I mean, at first we thought it would be really gay, because we both used to be guys.” Rose blushed. “But then we realized we were both girls, so it would be gay either way.”
Octavia was nearly crying at this point.
“I guess since we both like mares it just sorta worked.” Rose finished. She stared at Tavi who was resting her head on the table looking at her. She was struggling to breathe in a way that only extreme laughing can manage. She finally sat up and wiped her eyes.
“Oh god,” she wheezed, “I wish I could have seen the looks on your faces. I bet that was priceless.”
Rose rolled her eyes. “Yeah, well we got over it pretty quick.” She took another sip from her martini glass. “We actually slept together for the first time last night. It was really nice.”
Octavia’s eyes widened. “By sleep together do you mean…?”
Rose blushed. “Nononono, not like that.” She laughed. “Oh god, no, we shared a bed. I don’t think either of us are quite ready for that yet. We’re still getting used to the, uh,” She took a moment to think of a proper word. “Perks, of our new bodies.” She laughed with a smile.
Octavia was fully amused. “Yeah, these bodies are something aren’t they?” Octavia looked over her shoulder, examining her flank.
Rose cleared her throat. “So, as I was asking earlier,” she said. “Who are you here with? You alone or on a date?”
Tavi smiled. “I’m here with someone. I wouldn’t say she’s my date exactly, but we are warming up to the idea of a relationship.”
Rose was excited. “Who is it?” she scanned the room for possible subjects. Octavia rolled her eyes and gestured towards the stage. Vinyl was bobbing her head along to the current track, waiting for a spot to transition into the next song.
Rose laughed. “Oh god, if that isn’t the most clichéd thing ever.” She looked at Tavi smugly. “You’re dating Vinyl? That’s like the most overdone ship ever.”
Octy didn’t care. “Perhaps, but she’s really sweet. I’m glad I met her.”
Rose chuckled. “Isn’t that just so adorable.” She said in baby talk. Tavi laughed and suggested they should get another round to drink. Rose had no objection and lead them to the bar. “I’ll buy this round, but you are getting the next one.” She laughed.
* * *
Vinyl felt like she was starting to get the hand of being a DJ. She had managed to fumble her way through the first few tracks without any big problems and now she was starting to fade in and out of songs. She by no means could mix a track live, but she could manage a playlist.
This isn’t so bad.
She put on the next track and relaxed. She was feeling more and more comfortable up on stage. She didn’t notice it but she had sort of started bobbing along to the music. She wasn’t overly into the music like Skrillex or somepony, but she looked like she was having fun.
She liked to watch the silhouettes in the crowd when she wasn’t mixing tracks. She couldn’t see the faces of anypony, but she liked to see what they were doing. It was just something she did to pass the time.
She had been looking for Tavi in the crowd. She couldn’t quite make her out for sure, but she thought she could make out her frame conversing with a pony near the back.
Is Tavi actually socializing?
Vinyl laughed to herself. Sometimes she thought mean things. She was sure Octavia was quite capable of making new friends. It would certainly be better than her sitting in the back all night lonely.
Vinyl snapped out of her daydream. The current song was almost finished and she didn’t have a new track ready. She looked to her playlist and saw that she was on the last song on the CD. Vinyl realized that she couldn’t swap CD’s without stopping the music, something that the club would not be a fan of. She had to think of something quick.
She scanned her equipment. She had a live mix feed with turntables and she had an extra import that hooked up to an actual record player. The song was nearly finished and she had to act fast. In one quick motion Vinyl tried to use her live mixer to rewind the track a bit and reach for a record from the box on the floor. She stumbled a bit, pushing the mix table a bit more than she was expecting. She grabbed a record and pulled herself back up to her stand, pulling the table a bit with her.
As she stood up she looked around to see if anyone had seen her fall. Unexpectedly she heard a light applause from the crowd.
Did I do something?
She paid attention to the track. It had been rewound about a minute and was at the most interesting part of the song. She tried to think how the song could have gotten there. After brief consideration she blushed.
I just mixed my song by falling down…
She silently set her record up on the player and got ready to transition to the next track. She was happy she got out of the situation unscathed, but she wasn’t exactly proud of what just happened. As the record started playing she popped in a new CD and got the next playlist of songs ready. Everything seemed to be in order for the time being.
Vinyl tried to shake off the incident and returned to her music bobbing. For the next hour she would try to keep from daydreaming too much.
* * *
Octavia laughed as she took a drink from her third brandy. That’s what she said!?” Octavia couldn’t keep herself from bursting out.
Rose was laughing pretty hard too. “Yeah, I kissed her and she asked Do I kiss back? Oh god it was funny.”
Octavia could imagine the two of them standing there all awkward after their first kiss. “I wish I could have seen this awkwardness!” she pleaded. “Why do I miss all the fun!?”
Rose nudged her with her hoof. “That’s because you stay inside all day sharing sap stories with your marefriend.”
Tavi acted hurt. “How dare you insult her?” she laughed. They both laughed. They were pretty drunk. Their table was half covered in empty glasses and they were starting to share personal experiences. Regardless of how serious something was, they would find a way for it to be funny.
“So that was my first kiss with Carrot Top.” Rose said. “How have things been with you and Vinyl? Is she as sultry as I would assume?”
Octavia smiled. “What’s that supposed to mean?” she asked. Rose just shrugged and said it was something she would expect from her character.
“Vinyl is sweet. She genuinely cares about who I am and she wants me to be happy. I couldn’t ask for more.”
Rose smiled. “That’s pretty gay Octy. How does she kiss?” she laughed. “Give me something to work with.”
Octavia rolled her eyes. “You are so romantic Rose. Shakespeare reincarnate I’m sure.” Octavia finished off her last glass for the night. “She kisses quite well, if I must say so. Thank you for asking.”
Octavia checked a nearby clock. It was almost time for Vinyl’s set to end and she was excited to congratulate her on her show.
“So how far have you two gone?” Rose asked.
Octavia was a little shocked at how much info Rose was prodding for, but she waved it off as the booze talking. “Kissing is about it. We haven’t been together long.” She smiled at Rose. “What about you. You and Carrot Top explore yet?”
Rose blushed. “Well, I can’t say we haven’t fooled around a bit I guess.” For the first time of the night Rose actually looked a little embarrassed, or even a little shy. “Nothing serious, but a little foreplay.”
Octavia grinned. It was her turn to pry. “Did you like it?” Tavi asked.
Rose blinked. She tried to hide her face a bit with her forehoof but it didn’t help much. Having spent almost all of her life as a guy, she was a little reluctant to talk about her new experiences. “I didn’t hate it.” She said.
Octavia chucked to herself. “C’mon. It had to be better than that. I know you aren’t used to being a girl but you can at least be honest with me. We’re both drunken mares here.”
Rose laughed slightly. “Yeah.” She said quietly. “It was pretty hot.”
Tavi patted her on the back. “I’m sure you will enjoy it even more when things get heated.”
Rose cleared her throat and downed the last of her Manehatten. “So how about you and Vinyl? Anything spicy between you two?”
Octy smiled. She was half day dreaming about everything at this point and the thought of something a bit extra with Vinyl was certainly no nightmare. “No.” She said. “We’ve cuddled and kissed, that’s about it.”
Rose was feeling a bit more daring. “Have anything planned?” she asked with a grin.
Octavia wished that she had some sort of plan. Ever since they shared a moment last night she couldn’t help but think about possibilities. “Not really.” She said. “I don’t think you can really plan something like that.”
Rose laughed. “Of course you can!” she exclaimed. “It’s not even hard.”
Octy was interested. “What exactly do you mean?” Rose leaned in towards Tavi and whispered in her ear. It didn’t take long before a grin broke out across Tavi’s face. Rose had an idea, and Octavia liked it.
* * *
Vinyl packed up her things after saying goodnight to her crowd. She had received about the applause she would have expected, and she felt pretty good for simply not failing her set. She packed the last turntable onto her wagon-like thing as she noticed Octavia and a mare she recognized greet her backstage.
“Nice set Vinyl.” Rose said. “You almost recovered from that trip smoothly.” She laughed. Vinyl blushed.
So they did see.
“Thanks Rose.” Vinyl said. “That is your name right?” she added.
Rose nodded. “Roseluck.” She said. “But Rose is fine too.”
Tavi approached Vinyl and gave her a big hug. “That was a great set Vinyl. You did really well.” She released her grasp with a smile and stood closely next to her.
“Thanks.” Vinyl said. “I’m just glad I got through it.” She pointed to Rose as she grabbed her wagon. “Making new friends I see.” She said with a smile.
Octavia smiled back. “Yep. Rose and I had a few drinks and got to know each other. She lives right next door to us so I figured that would be a good idea.”
Vinyl offered her hoof to the white and crimson mare. “Nice to meet you.” She said.
Rose smiled and shook her hoof. “Likewise.”
Vinyl stretched and started heading for the door. “Well, It’s late, and I’m tired, so I think Tavi and I are gonna head home.”
Rose walked with her. “Sounds like a pretty good idea. I need to make sure Carrot Top didn’t get into any trouble while I was gone. She has important stuff in the morning, so she needs to be asleep.”
Rose and Octavia hugged and went their separate ways. “Later Octy. You two have a fun night.” Rose said with a wink as she walked away.
Vinyl and Octavia waved as she walked off. “She seems nice” Vinyl said.
“Yeah, she’s pretty friendly. I’m sure we will have her and Carrot Top over from time to time.” Octavia replied. The two walked home in near silence, probably due to them both being pretty tired. They eventually arrived at their front door and Vinyl opened it with her keys.
The two walked inside and Vinyl made a beeline for the bathroom. Octy remembered what Rose had said earlier and smiled. She walked up to the bathroom door and knocked. “You don’t mind if I sleep in your room again do you?” she asked.
“That sounds good.” Vinyl replied. “You can go ahead and lie down, I’ll be in in a second.”
“Okay, thanks hun.” She said. She made her way into Vinyl’s room and closed the door. She pulled the sheets off of the bed and lied down.
Vinyl exited the bathroom with a flush and walked to the kitchen for a quick glass of water. She didn’t feel dehydrated, but her long set had made her really thirsty for some reason. She set the glass down in the sink and sluggishly walked towards her room. She opened the door and was surprised to see the lights were still on.
Octavia was lying on the bed with a smile, looking over her shoulder. She smiled at Vinyl, stretching her legs. “Hey Vinyl.” She said with a near purr.
Vinyl’s eyes were wide. She was at a loss for words. To be fair, she was having a hard time thinking as well. She stood blankly for a few moments before Tavi motioned for her to join her on the bed. Vinyl stood motionless. She couldn’t think about moving at the moment. She had only one thought in mind as a bead of sweat formed on her forehead.
She found my socks.

She found my socks LOL
Oh no! Not the socks!
Oh well. Great chapter! Can't wait to see what happens next.
the socks of eternal doom
When Tavi is speaking with Rose luck
Rose asks: " you come to places like the often Tavi?"
I think you might wanna fix that.
It's great to get a new chapter for one of the best stories I ever read and it got me thinking, are you gonna do any similar stories from different point of views???
I hope we see some more world building in the coming chapters. Really curious if they've accidentally gone to the real Equestria and become accidental body snatchers or something. It'd be neat if that was the case and a real pony overheard some rather damning conversation between bronies.
Those socks will be the end of me...
Something tells me that socializing might be a source of going into heat for Octavia that or she was really drunk, probably the latter but who can be sure? (Other than the author
)
Lolsocks
Im loving this story, though I personally find it a little irritating when people don't know how to use all that "stage" gear.. the light and sound stuff mainly, but also the DJ equpiment and stuff, mainly cause I know how to use it and it's really easy for me. TL;DR - I'm a whiny twat.
Keep up the good work
Must've made quite a fall for something like that to happen.

Does anyone else think they look cute in socks or sexy or is it just me.

SSOOOOOOCKSSS
"She found my socks" XD
A few things to note, be sure to check what questions you've already asked, and don't ask them again.
#2: Keep the dialogue of a single character, with that character.
#3: Be careful of repeated words and phrases. There was a particularly nasty one when Octy was talking about getting to know rose by getting to know rose.
Other than that, I am really starting to enjoy this.
Love this
1781603]
Thanks, I'll check for that. I published as nearly 4 in the morning so I was pretty tired.
Update!!!!
Sooooocks!!!!!
I'm really enjoying this story and the character build-up is very smoothly transitioned.
mmmmmmmmhhhhhh dat last phrase
remember i will love you forever faux
pointless comment is pointless.
I know where this heading...
non-sexualPILLOW FIGHT!!
1783263
Yep. Totally gonna be nothing sexual in the slightest.
Not at all.
1783313
Sssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre, I believe you.
Scene skips to next day with implied sex. I know what's up. I am a legit psychic. Only with certain things, though. Like my sister, oranges, dogs, bees, and my ps3. What's up with that?
1783360
I was JK, they are totally gonna bone.

With the socks? A bit kinky isn't it?
I never thought of Octavia as being into that sort of stuff...
Basically,
1792422
Gotta remember this isn't exactly the fan-made version of Octavia. This is a human who has Octavia's body. So Octavia's personality is the human. So if stuff seems like it doesn't belong to that character that's why. As for the socks... I think it's awesome.
Lol, excellent follow up chapter! I hungrilly await more. xD
Thanks faux, not only are somehow making stay up late helping you, but then you make me lose even more sleep with your story. I hope your happy with yourself. Rawr rawr slaves rawr rawr.
Tavi, go to sleep. You're drunk.
It's a pretty good story. Anything else coming?
Update it man come on don't leave us hanging!!
I'm sorry guys! I'm just having a hard time forcing myself to write. I kinda have to be in the mood for it you know?
On the plus side, I wrote a one shot for a contest that should be accepted soon, so if anyone wants to read that I'd love you.
Hey, can I use this Fictions universe in a story sometime? Where I can write as one of the other ponies? I am working on another fic atm but I wanna do this sometime
Dude, this is awesome! It's like superpowers - YOU WISH IT WERE REAL SOOOOOOOOO BADLY.
So...
Is this gonna update ever?
3311510
Yes, will it update? This is one of the first fics I've ever read on this site, over two years ago, and it's still one of the most well written(not even bringing in the fact its one of my favorites). If it's going to update soon, I'm sure we'll all be really excited
4513392
AND MY AXE!
Wait... I-I mean what he said!
This fanfiction was killed by socks
It could be updated one day, but probably not.
well, I think this fic is dead or the writer is dead or quit. removing off my read later list.
This needs to be updated its the best story I have ever seen
I really enjoyed this! The pair are so heartwarming and wonderful. What's written so far is satisfying to me, but it looks like you have more to tell. Have fun writing it out and I will be happy to read it!
2123150
Just step on a Lego. It solves everything., Even hitting the high notes on "take on me"
I would love to get some more chapters. Do you mind if I write a story in the same universee with spitfire, or is that a nogo. The story would occur in cloudsdale
Please update soon
hay more chapters
I'm sad, this story was a great potential. :c However, I hope an actualization.
hay do continue it
I don't imagine that this will ever be revisited or revived, but I just wanted to say that I enjoyed it.
