Octavia and Harmonia Philharmonica were on their way to Manehattan, ready to fulfill their duty as granddaughters and visit Nana. Vinyl Scratch and her brother Long Play were traveling back home from a concert in Canterlot, the first that Vinyl had ever attended. Pure serendipity facilitated these pairs' first meeting.

(Inspired by the pure adorableness that is the cover art)

Octavia's performance at the wedding of Princess Cadence was cancelled, and her ensemble was replaced by a mysterious DJ! When she goes to investigate, she discovers a world of music she never imagined from the turntables of Vinyl Scratch. She takes a chance and follows the DJ back to her home in Ponyville, and begins a journey full of music, love, laughs, some tears (maybe?), and... an evil plot!? What?

Let's read along, shall we? But brace yourself... it's gonna take a while.

Each chapter comes with a one-panel comic in the author's notes, drawn by yours truly!

Vinyl Scratch's Hearth's Warming wishes come true.

If you have any objections with the story, just share them with me and I'll do my best to resolve your issue!

When Vinyl and Octavia become friends, Octy begins to wonder why she's never seen Vinyl without her infamous purple shades. What is the reason behind them? Will Octavia ever get to see the eyes of her only friend?

Vinyl Scratch wants to put the past behind her as she starts her new life at Equestria United Community College. But can she overcome that past to get along with her new classically inclined roommate Octavia and learn new ways to enjoy and express music with the Equestrian Girls, the local A Cappella group of EUCC?

Yes, I know, it sounds an awful lot like some other american movie *cough cough* Pitch Perfect *cough cough*, but I couldn't help it! I watched the movie, all I thought of was that Beca was their DJ, and we had our own. So while I did get a lot of inspiration from the movie, this will have a few of it's own twists and turns.

Two side-notes to make: One, thanks to Gwg for the editing and some suggestions for this story! Two, this story takes place in the same universe as the rest of my stories, but happens 4 years before Twilight first comes to Ponyville. ENJOY!
EDIT: Yes, I've added the 'sex' tag.
SPOILER: Nothing explicit, but they get real cuddly and friendly towards the end.

There is a collection of pictures of the rest of the A Cappella team, which can be found here. Just the OC team members though, the others have rather nice pictures made by Dhx and Hasbro.

Also, I can't help but ship. I'm a romantic at heart, and I like TaviScratch. As always, please comment or message me if you give it a thumbs down, I like to learn about what went wrong.

Also also, it's been a very long time since I've done much musical stuff (I was in band for 5 years until 4 years ago) so please forgive me/excuse me if I get something wrong, and feel free to point it out by comment or message. Thanks!

Vinyl Scratch was first and foremost a party pony. Yes, her music was her passion but party was her life. After a eventful night, a drunk Vinyl calls a friend for help. Vinyl wakes up in a strange bed filled with a familiar scent. Her mind racing as she connected the dots leads her to entertain erotic thoughts. However, the truth is far from what it seems. Octavia's love for Vinyl isn't something she can put into words and she doesn't really understand the concept but her ramblings inspire Vinyl to speak her mind, even if the mare in question is asleep.

The two girls are complete opposites, but their love of one thing above all else sets the basis for an amazing friendship. One that admittedly, hits a lot of potholes, but can always get back on track.

Music is beautiful. It is one of two things which can express the inexpressible. But when you do not have music what is the other method of expression?
AN: This is 100% approved by Twilight's Library.

Vinyl Scratch wants funds and a place to mount her very own nightclub: Vinyl's Cage. And... if she can, she'd really like to get Octavia to help her out, and to end up in her bed.

Octavia came for a business talk and was greeted by lousy and uncouth flirting, and she wants nothing more than to go back to her Cello practice, but she promised to listen to Vinyl.

Seeing they wouldn't get to an agreement, Vinyl asked her good friend Pinkie to let her use... The Room.

This story is in the same universe as "Of Horseshoes, Apples and Feathers", and it's set a year before that timeline.

It has been ten years since Octavia has seen her mare friend Vinyl Scratch since they parted ways for their careers. But when the cellist meets Vinyl again she noticed something was very off about her. It turned out her fears were true after receiving a call for help from the DJ. Only thing is that seeing Vinyl again just unlocked a hidden trail of a murderer. Octavia must find out who the pony is and what was his motive for hurting Vinyl. But sniffing around might lead to more trouble for both Octavia and Vinyl. She won’t be alone of course, she’ll have old friends helping her including, Lyra Heartstrings, Bonbon, Apple Fritter, Beauty Brass, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Ditzy Doo.

Can Octavia and her friends uncover this murderer’s plot in time or will her efforts to save the mare she loved come too late?
