"...and then she levitated my cello, without the slightest of regards of course, and tossed it outside! Could you believe her nerves" Octavia said finishing her cup of tea.

Twilight sighed, suppressing the urge to teleport out of the room. Back in Canterlot she barely talked to the musician, they were mostly on the first name basis due to sharing the same dorm, so it came as a surprise when Pinkie Pie introduced her to DJ-PON3 who just happened to be Octavia´s marefriend. Since then Octavia had decided to become Twilight´s friend, showing up whenever she had a problem with her significant other, which seemed to be a weekly routine.

"And then she told she will never play with me again! Hmph! She should be thankful I bring some class and sophistication to her "bombastic" performance."

Celestia save me, Twilight murmured.

Luckily she heard because Spike appeared in that moment.

"Twi..."

"What´s that Spike? Princess Celestia sent a letter? King Sombra has returned? Oh my goodness we must gather the Elements at once! I´m sorry Octavia but we must cut this meeting, it was lovely hope we see each other again soon bye bye!" and Twilight levitated the confused earth pony out of the library.

Spike crossed his arms. "Rude much? I was just gonna ask if you wanted more tea..."

Twilight sighed again. "I´m sorry Spike but that mare drives me crazy! She always has something to complain! I don´t understand how they fell in love to begin with, they have nothing in common!"

"Looks who´s talking."

"We do have things in common. We..." but Twilight was interrupted by a knock in the door. She feared Octavia had returned to complain some more but behind the door a white unicorn waited.

"Umh heya Twilight was it?"

****

"Thankya again for helping me, Twi." DJ-PON3 or Vinyl Scratch as she went by outside the stages, said while the two unicorns walked down in the direction of Sweet Apple Acres.

"It´s okay Vinyl. I can´t just ignore a friend although I still believe this whole problem could be solved if you just say sorry."

"Yeah but I can´t just turn back after the number I did. ´sides if Tavi goes into the boards with me it will ruin the surprise. I worked really hard on this song..." Vinyl said taking a piece of paper. "...I want her to hear it there in the crowd."

Twilight smiled. "It´s a lovely gesture, Vinyl."

"Yeah well yah got me the idea with how you come out to your lady..." and she poked Twilight.

"What? WHo told you that?" Twilight asked, blushing.

"Tavi of course! Nice touch in the dress there, hoof made?"

"Yes but it didn´t come out very well. I´m not good at hoof works."

Thankfully they arrived at the farm before Vinyl could crack a joke about it.

"Here we are."

"Why did we come ´ere again?"

"To find you a singer."

"Why can´t be you, didn´t yah sing for your bro back then in Canterlot?"

"This a love song Vinyl, a proposal nonetheless. You need a special voice for that..." Twilight waved a hoof at Applejack who took out her hat and waved back.

Octavia was standing in the town hall, surrounded by dozens of ponies who came to the concert. One particular pony recognized her and jumped in front of her, filling her vision with pink.

"HEYA Octi Octi Octi!"

"Diane. And my name is Octavia."

"I´m so glad you decided to come Octavia." Twilight said, wearing a particular tacky costume, obviously home-made. Octavia noticed a pegasus next to Twilight wearing a matching dress but before she could remember her name Twilight spoke again. "I was afraid you wouldn´t."

"I only accepted out of our friendship Twilight; but I´m not feeling comfortable seeing her performing."

"Give her a chance Octavia." Twilight said and placed a hoof on her shoulder.

The lights went out and all the looks shifted to the stage where the loudest of Equestria musicians jumped in.

"HOW´S IT GOING PONYVILLEEEEEEEE!! ARE YAH READY TO PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!"

The crowd roared.

"ALL RIGHT THEN! BUT BEFORE THAT-"

Strangely DJ-PON3 lowered the volume and took a microphone, addressing the audience.

"Before we start the show I have somepony special to introduce you, my partner for the evening, your local apple bucker, one Big MacIntosh!"

Of course the crowd was surprised to see Big Mac on stage, holding a guitar; except Octavia who looked sad.

- Time Limit-

"Now tonight I wanted to share something with you all. Something I wrote for a very important pony to me, in fact she´s the most important pony to me..." Vinyl even took her glasses, showing her reddish eyes. "I always wanted to tell her that but I´m not good with words. Yeah I know, weird uh? So I wrote her a song but I needed somepony to sing it for me ´cause yah know, singing ain´t my thing. So Big Mac, care to help me?"

Big Mac nodded and stroke a chord.

Octavia only needed one line to understand what the song was about.

****

"Last night was simply lovely!" Rarity said levitating her cup of tea. The entire group, Spike include, were under an apple tree, sharing a picnic.

"Octi and Scratchy are sooo cute together!" Pinkie said.

"I´m just glad that everything turned out okay. I know how nervous Vinyl was about the whole thing." Twilight said holding Fluttershy´s hood who smiled back.

"But what give you the idea to have Big Mac sing it?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Applejack. She is always bragging about his gorgeous singing voice."

"Eeeeeyup."

"I wonder why he doesn´t sing more often." Spike asked.

Down the farm, the barn was under attack by a legion of love-struck mares shouting Bic Mac name. The entire town of Ponyville plus some other mares who got the word about the stallion mellow voice. Big Mac pushed some more furniture to keep the door closed while the Crusaders worked to cover the windows.

"Now ah know why yah always quiet!" Apple Bloom said.
