You guys wanted it, so you guys got it. This is the second chapter, enjoy.

This is more of a short imformational chapter.

"Hey, you're pretty good!" said Octavia after she heard Vibes play a piece.

"Thanks, but I think I want to hear you play." said Vibes.

"Sure, just a second." she said as she went over to her cello.

She started to play a slow and sad piece to which he did not know the name of. It brought back memories.

When she finished, she smirked, "What do you think?"

"That was beautiful. But why did you pick such a slow song?" he asked.

She shrugged, "I don't know, just seemed like a fun piece to play."

Vibes just chuckled and said, "Well, it was a great selection and all but don't you think it's a little bit too sad?"

Octavia thought for a second and said, "I just like it, okay?"

"Alright, alright, just saying" said Vibes.

Octavia sighed, if only he knew.

Soon, the rest of the ponies arrived, ready to play. It was a normal practice session. They played, they talked, they left. Octavia stayed though.

"You are one good musician if I say so myself." she said.

"Thanks. Well I guess I'll see you at The Gala in a couple days." said Vibes, finally packed up. He started making his way to the door.

"Hey now, not so fast." she said.

"Yeah?" he said. Turning back to her.

"Well, I've got to say two things before you leave..." she said, trailing off at the last word.

"Well, okay. I'm right here." he said.

She sighed, "Okay here goes, nopony knows about this but, I kind of wanted to tell you this." She took a deep breath and continued, "The reason I play that is because I never really had parents, it helps me cope with that fact each day."

Vibes nodded, "I know that feeling."

Octavia's eyes widened, "You mean you never had parents either?!" she half shouted.

"Yep." is all Vibes said.

Octavia was shocked. She thought she was the only pony without parents. To know that Vibes is very similar to her made her feel better, but not entirely of course.

"I've never met another pony who was so much like me..." she said, trailing off again. She started tearing up.

"Don't cry now, I can't stand somepony crying like that." said Vibes.

"There's... there's that other thing I wanted to tell you too." she said, she ignored what Vibes just said.

"Yes, and what is that?" he asked.

"Vibes?"

"Yes?"

"... I like you..."

Vinyl was deep in thought. How was she going to get a ticket? After Vibes left for his practice session, she decided that no matter what, she was going to get a ticket. But how? Not many ponies get to go to the Grand Galloping Gala, which made her chances to go very slim, it's not like she'll find one lying in the streets.

Vinyl then realized she had another problem to deal with. She had to figure out why nopony liked her music anymore. How could she have forgotten? She pondered inside her head thinking of a reason why they wouldn't like it.

Nope, can't find a reason, she thought. It's been the same as always... Wait! Maybe it's because it hasn't changed! She finally figured it out. She couldn't wait to get to work on her new music.

"That might be a problem, Octavia."

She looked worried, "What do you mean?"

"Well, just today I met a pony named Vinyl Scratch, have you heard of her?" Vibes said.

Octavia's eyes widened, "Umm... Y-ya, why?" she responded, expecting the worst to come.

"Well, she kind of likes me too as far I can tell."

She thought he would say that, "Oh... well um... I'll s-see you later then..." She walked around him and went to the door.

Author's Notes: Oh shit, looks like there's gonna be some competition! I'm so evil.

Oh, and go back up to when Octavia plays her piece. There's a url there now.
