Chapter 2: The Night

Octavia and I had just left the royal (I guess) palace in Canterlot, we were walking down the sidewalk when she asked me where I came from and what exactly I was. Keeping pace with her I said that I came from a place called Earth, a place very, very different from Equestria. And then I said that I was a "Human Being" (With air quotes). "Ok, my turn" I said while putting my hands in my pockets. I then asked how she could play the Cello without any fingers, she chuckled at my question and said that she had never really thought how she could. We were still walking very slowly and chatting along, I was even starting to 'show my true colors' or if you want it in a way that doesn't sound like a rainbow, that I was gaining more trust in Octavia. We were in the middle of debating about which instrument was better (She knows more then you think...) when a group of ponies in leather jackets (Resembling what looked to be a biker gang) came out of nowhere and bumped into us. My first reaction was to run like hell was chasing after me, but Octavia kept me from running (Shut up, I know your laughing). My heart pounding faster then the speed of light, I walked up to the ponies and apologized. The last thing I felt before I blacked out was a hoof to the face (not the most pleasant thing).


I woke up in a dark room, with a single spotlight on me. I stood up, confused and worried, but then I heard a voice. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" The voice said sarcastically, I demanded that the voice tell me it's name, but when it began I blacked out again, and woke up on the sidewalk with Octavia looking over me with a worried expression on her face, the other ponies were gone. I felt relieved about that, REALLY relieved. Octavia hugged me with teary eyes as she said almost shouting "Oh thank Celestia your alright! I thought that you had passed" I recovered from whatever shock Octavia's hugging gave me and returned the hug while comforting her. We sat there for what seemed to be hours but when we released from the hugfest only 5 minutes had passed. We continued walking to her house chatting about random subjects, most of them being music related.

When we had arrived at her house she unlocked the door and we both walked inside. It was a two story house with instruments, sheet music, and other things of that nature scattered around on any table that could have been put in the house (How it all fit in there, I'm still trying to figure that out). "Sorry it's a mess..." She said with an embarrassed look on her face. "It's alright, almost makes me feel like I'm at home" I said with a smile. At that moment, I felt a feeling of grief. I was wondering about my family, what they had been told, how they would react, and... Was there going to be a funeral for me. Apparently Octavia saw that I was sad, so she asked me "Hey, why the long face?" As I was standing there, now crying I said with a stutter "I'm j-just worried about m-my f-f-f-family." As soon as I said family I broke down in tears, now on my knees I began rattling off random things about my family. Octavia comforted me, saying that it wasn't my fault. I sniffled as I said "Sure, that's what you think. I could of stopped this, somehow..." I trailed off again, rambling about something that even I cannot remember now...


The next day

I walked down from the guest bedroom on the second floor, after getting my (Needed) 7 hours of sleep. Tavi was practicing her cello when she noticed me, "Oh, hey there sleepyhead. Get enough sleep?" She said with a sort of mocking tone in her voice. "Yes Tavi, I did." I said with my hands on the back of my head, "And I'm ready for whatever life throws at me today" I said with my hands still on the back of my head. Octavia must of known that I was still half asleep, because after I said that, she threw an apple at my head. Lucky for me, I have the reflexes of a dead cat so it hit me, square in the forehead, and it hurt, a lot. "Oh my gosh!" She exclaimed, "Are you alright?" She added on after. "Yea, I'm fine, but I think I'm going to have to enhance my reaction time" I said, rubbing my head where she hit it.


"Damn, that's a nice trombone ya got there" I said as Octavia unlocked a trombone case (How does she do that with hooves?) When suddenly a unicorn with white fur (Still I think?) and a mane with two different shades of blue came out of nowhere.

"Oh Celestia why?" Tavi said as the white unicorn approached us.
