That next morning I woke up to my alarm going off. I reached over to shut it off and thought back to last night. Was it a dream? Did I really find a filly Octavia in my back yard? I walked over to my window to see if it really happened. As I looked out my window I noticed that the crater was still there. That means what happened last night really happened. That's when I heard a soft yawn come from the other side of the room. I turned around and saw movement from the inside of a basket. I walked over to the basket and bent down beside it.
As I reached my hand out to pull away the sheet, a head popped out from underneath it. Octavia looked around the room and she didn't even look scared, she looked so calm like she did at the Galloping Gala. Until Pinkie Pie interrupted her, ya know. Then she finally realized I that I was sitting there and looked up at me smiling.
We just sat there staring at each other, until I realized her bow tie was missing. "Hey Octavia, where's your bow tie?" She looked down at her neck and started freaking out. Next she started flailing her hooves and throwing the sheets all over the floor. "Calm down, we'll find your bow tie. Wait I'll be right back, she looked a little nervous about being alone. I told her it's ok and reminded her again that I'll be back in a flash.
I ran downstairs hoping my mom was still asleep. As I make it to the door my mom steps out of the kitchen. "Where are you going mister?" I stopped in my tracks and turned around to face my mom. "HeHe I was just stepping outside to see how the weather was. Besides today is the last day of school and then I'm done for good." I hope she takes my bluff and I was telling at least half the truth. "Alright hurry up you don't want to be late for school."
After my encounter with my mom I ran to the backyard to look for Octavia's bow tie. I hope it wasn't ruined, I just know for sure she would be upset if that happened.
When I got to the crater, I climbed down inside it and started looking for her bow tie. It didn't take too long to find because it was in the same spot I found her laying last night. As I was getting ready to climb out of the crater there was a flash of bright light and a loud voice. "Michael, son of John you have been chosen to be the protector of Octavia." I didn't understand what it meant. "Protect her from what?" The next thing the voice sad was the most confusing. "There are people(ponies) out looking for Octavia and you must keep her safe. That is why we sent her to you as a filly. To keep her identity hidden."
Before I could try to get anymore information from the mysterious voice, the bright light and the voice disappeared. As I stand here for the next few moments I try to take in what just happened. Am I really worthy of being Octavia's protector? Who or what is after Octavia? Who was it that spoke to me? Finally who was Octavia really, was she just a cello player/performer or something more? There was no way for me to get these questions serenaded at the moment.
When I made it back inside I quickly washed up and got ready for my last day of school. A thought came to me. What am I supposed to do with Octavia? I still haven't talked to mom about her, should I ask her after school? If I wait till after school mom might find her and kick her out onto the street. I couldn't bare for that to happen to Octavia.
While in deep thought on what to do I grabbed some food for me and Tavi. I carrid it upstairs to my room, along with her bow tie. The good thing is I still have about 45 minutes till I need to be at school. When I entered my room I found Octavia standing on my computer chair, looking at the computer. "What ya doing Octavia?" I asked her. Being here with Octavia made me think back to what happened in the backyard. Octavia looked so peaceful and kind. What kind of people could want to harm her?
I pulled up another chair and sad down beside her and looked at the computer to see what she was lookin at. I noticed that skype was open and Anthony was on the screen. Oh no, why is he on and how did Octavia open it up? "Hey Michael I need to talk to you now!" Did anything happen last night? Anything abnormal?" Why is he asking me this? I looked down at Octavia. Duh Octavia was right here beside me and so that means he can see her. I looked back at Anthony, "Ya I guess you can say something happened. I'd like you to meet Octavia and I found her as a filly HeHe." He didn't seem surprised and picked something or someone up. "I'd like you to meet Vinyl Scratch. Say hi Vinyl." She waved to me and Tavi and smiled. D'aww, that's so cute. I know I'm a guy but still every guy has a soft spot. "Anyways Michael tell me what happened this morning. Tell me everything." He said this very seriously, so I told him everything. I told him everything from when I walked to the backyard this morning to the mysterious voice I heard. "Dude I heard that same voice telling me to protect Vinyl. What have we gotten ourselves into?" He said this sarcastically.
As time grew near I had to say goodbye and sign off. I turned around and faced Octavia. "Alright Octavia I got some food up here for you and please don't make any noise while I'm gone. She looked at me and from what I can tell for the most part, she understood.
When I got to school I didn't really care about being here. All I could think about is that mysterious voice and Octavia. The good thing is that the last day of school is a half a day for seniors.That means a lesser chance of mom finding Octavia.
On my way to my first class I had a weird feeling come over me. It's like I felt lighter than air and I also had flashes of images in my head. Next thing I know I see people breaking into my house. I notice that these weren't regular people, they had these weird markings all over themselves. They seemed like they were looking for something or someone. Oh no Octavia!! I dashed home as fast as I could.
When I got home everything seemed fine, I didn't see mom so I figured she must've got called into work. I decided to go check on Octavia to see if she was okay. I knocked on my door letting her know it was me and walked inside. Octavia was laying down on my bed reading a music magazine, go figure right. Question is how can she read if she can't quite talk yet. She looked up at me and waved. Next thing I know is that I hear a crash downstairs. I look towards Octavia and said, "Octavia get underneath my bed and don't come out no matter what happens, even if I don't come back up here. You must stay hidden." After making sure she was well hidden I left the room and went downstairs.
I think it would be good to do another one with a different perspective.
2382690 so do another chapter with anthony's pov. i can do that later on
I agree with Frenzied. MOAR VINYL
2382812 i think that will be maybe the fourth chapter maybe the second half of the third chapter
Yeah I would like need hear more about Anthrony pov.
alright everyone who wants anthony pov should i make it back before he found vinyl to where he finds her and what happens after he gets done talking to michael on skype when they both show octavia and vinyl to eachother. should i make chapter 3 all about anthony
Since the plot intertwines somehow with Vinyl as well, I think an Anthony POV would be fitting. Oh, and great chapter by the way.

i'm going to quote you in a blog or something because this is so true
i've been wanting to write an mld ripoff where 'you' have to raise an emotionally traumatized
dashfluttershy who's afraid of you or somethingit's so much more engaging when your babby has night terrors and won't look you in the eyes
"MY LITTLE CRACKLIE"
images.wikia.com/mlpfanart/images/3/36/Crackle_the_Dragon.png
or maybe a my little xie with a ponified version of doctor rockso from metalocalypse
mah little kkkyayeahhh
2379351 Alright then, let's see what you can cook up. Hopefully with a lot more taste than the beginning.
2383170 i'm not trying to make it sound like a my little dashie spin-off i mean i re-read through my story and the only thing similar to what is in mld is him finding octavia. i guess i just see it differently sorryi atleast i tried to make it seem a little unique but failed

Thanks and this is something that a lot of authors actually face at some point in which their stories aren't very good but it's the name that sells it or it's the lack of a name that doesn't sell it. Stephen King showed this with his "Richard Bachmann" experiment and his publisher rejected these stories as not being commercial enough yet they were eagerly printed once his true name was revealed.
The fact that you might have a successful "My Little Whatever" story often times is because the author has released some very popular stories in the past and his or her fans immediately give thumbs up and faves to said story even if it's not that good.
Gives new meaning to a crackfic.
Wouldn't that be something.
aaw
