Vinyl Scratch and Octavia had never gotten along...or had they? A visit from Pinkie Pie has the DJ unicorn telling the story of how she and Octavia knew one another in school and fell for one another almost instantly.

Here's an extra Christmas present for everypony. This is the VinylTavia/OctaScratch story I did for National Pony Writing Month. Obviously, it didn't win. It's not even past 20k words. Still, I figured after I gave it a couple of revisions, I'd submit it here. I'm not all that proud of how it came out in the end, considering after I wrote this, I discovered CoffeeGrunt's glorious Allegrezza, and LitheKamitatsy's equally amazing spiritual sequel to Allegrezza, Three's a Crowd, so I don't have as many music puns as they do. I'm also not nearly as great a writer as they are. I have as much talent in total as CoffeeGrunt has in one finger.

This goes into a different view of Vinyl Scratch meeting Octavia, the two having attended at a prestigious music academy in Canterlot. This is my first shipping fic, so I would appreciate any and all critique...obviously, I don't want someone just leaving a pointlessly hateful comment such as 'LOL shipping sucks' and the like, but it doesn't have to be an exceptionally detailed critique. I'd just like to know if I did anything wrong grammatically, character-breaking or otherwise. The one thing I am aware of having done is that the story moves all too fast. I may revise that another time when I have more free time, probably after New Years.

NOTE: This is the ENTIRE story. All 16k+ words. All at once.
