(Octi) The Day the Music Stopped Ch2

>Day You're getting it In Equestria

 

>The rest of the date is spent with both of you talking about your day.

>This is one of the the few "safe" places for you to be out together.

>Pony Joe is a cool dude.

>One of the few that didn't judge you the second they saw you.

>He sold you donuts without batting an eye and didn't ask "What the hell was that thing?" as soon as they thought you where out of earshot.

>But he did wonder why the store suddenly cleared out on a busy Friday evening well before closing time.

>Turns out the guy is married to a Zebra. He's went through some tough shit before you came but he never elaborated  much more than that.

>Though Zebras are way more accepted now than they used to be.

>They're always walking around Canterlot like the rest of the ponies.

>Joe told you to come for advice when you need it.

"We should probably head out soon Octi, don't want your Dad getting upset and get half the guard looking for ya now do we?"

>Her ears flatten just a bit as you say that. "I thought we had more time today, oh horse apples!"

>She looks a little angered by the mention of her Father. "Why can't he just understand?"

"Because to most ponies I'm just a giant, hairless, poor, space monkey. Who's, and I quote. "To lowly to breath the same air as you, dearest!"

>You give her your best imitation of her head maid.

>She was a giant bitch.

"Why don't you make friends with those dashing rich young stallions like Business Smart or Golden Touch? They would certainly make better company than THAT thing!"

>By now Octavia has her head down on the table, probably out of shame.

>Taking a sip of your soda, you continue in your regular voice.

"We don't exist out of this Doughnut Shop Octi. We simply can't."

>Trying to sound as calm and soothing as possible, you put your hand on her hoof.

"Our relationship has to stay a secret, not for me, but for you. Sure maybe the Princesses have my back but they got their own shit to do, and they cant stick around and babysit me so I don't get bullied."

>She looks into your eyes as you continue.

"All bets are off when we're in public, don't tell me you don't see it. The stares, it being impossible to buy stuff without being completely scammed."

>She's sitting up now, looking straight at angered face.

"I can't even find a stable job here for God's sake!"

>She clenches your hand tight and you see her tearful expression.

>It calms you instantly.

>With a little smile on her face she brings you up to her face an nuzzles it.

>"I don't care what any of those ponies have to say Anon, I'll never leave you and I'll protect you....because..I-I love y-"

>You cut her off as two more customers come in and let go of her hoof.

>Two stallions, very BUFF stallions.

>One's a tan Earth pony, while the other is a green Unicorn.

>And they're menacingly staring your way.

>This is a good time to say that your avarageness carries on to your physical aspects as well.

>Not fat or a body builder, but you did do track in high school.

>So you're a runner, you can probably take on one of these guys but two?

>Opting to not take your chances, both of you decide to get out of there with nod at one another.

>Thank Luna you already paid for everything, or rather, Octi did. You were poor as shit.

>The only thing keeping your ass fed and out of the streets was the "Extraterrestrial/Dimensional Accidents Fund" given to you every Friday by the princesses.

>Of course you were the first person to receive it but whatever. Free money.

>Needless to say, you got the fuck outta dodge.

>Also needless to say, two big-ass fucking stallions were chasing you through town.

>Runing into many ponies during your escape, all your hearing is mashed together as you run.

>You can only make out a few gasp and screams from ponies who you scared half to death.

>'Who the hell are these guys!? they usually give up by now!' You think frantically to yourself. Trying to come up with an escape plan.

>That train of thought is cut short by the unicorn firing a beam of magic, making a hole in the wall next to you.

>Making a less-than-manly scream and run faster, Octavia right by your side.

>This kind of thing has happened before unfortunately.

>Since they were faster of course (four legs), they were slowly gaining ground of you both.

>But being on two legs, you were more agile.

>The chase went on for about 10 minutes through countless alleys that you knew would lead you to her place.

>Not hearing any more hoofsteps behind and no magic blast going off around you, you decide to stop and look back.

>"I think we lost them." said a very out of breath Musician.

>She wasn't the most athletic of ponies, but that soon changed after your secret relationship started.

"Let's just get you to your place, okay?" you start walking out of the alley unto a busy street.

>Luna's moon is high in the sky by this point.

>Oh Shit.

>She's late. Fuck!

"C'mon hurry Octi!" You begin sprinting anew.

>Sprinting, you two make it on record speed but there's a stallion at the front gates of the massive mansion.

>The Von Clef residence.

>As you get closer you begin to make out the stallion at the gates.

>A Copper colored stallion in a fancy suit awaits you.

>It's Mr. Von Clef himself. Octavia's father.

>And he looks pissed.

>More so than he's ever been before you think.

>He's even doing that thing were it sounds like there's a kettle steaming in the background.

>It would be a pretty thing to watch if you werent sure you were gonna get thrown in the dungeons.

>ohboy.jng

----------------------------------------------------------------------

>and he's looking right at you. Quick better play it cool!

"Good evening MR. V-" That's as far as you get before you're tackled by his Pegasus guard.

>"You again! How many times have I told you not to be seen with my daughter, you incompetent ape! I should have you thrown in the dungeons for this."

>You called it! +10

>You can see another grayish mare walking out the front doors, starting on the path to no doubt meet you.

"I was just walking her back from practice Mr. Von Clef!"

>He scoffs at this. "I might have believed you If was a foal, Beast. As it happens to be, today I was around the Royal Gardens to meet some very Important ponies and I happened to pass by where the Royal Ensemble practices."

>You don't see where he is going with this but you cant really argue, The pegasus on your back made sure of this by sticking your face in the dirt.

>"Dad! Please stop this, You're hurting him!" You hate this. Looking so weak in front of your mare.

>So useless.

>'Why does this only happen to me?' You ask yourself that question for what seems like the 1000th time.

>On Earth you've never really had any trouble, no cops, getting beating up and chased around.

>Why did this world have to hate you so much? Why you?

.

.

.

>But it cant be that bad...This world also gave you Octavia.

>A mare most stallions would kill for, to a simple guy like you.

>A guy that literally fell out of the sky one day, you couldn't be more thankful for her.

>The happiness makes you subconsciously smirk a little. The guard sees this and gently bashes your head on the ground.

>"Know your place, beast." Seems like a nice guy.

>Octavia's shaking with rage right now, but giving her a look makes her back off, You would rather her not do something stupid and getting hurt.

>Her father's still talking about some rich pony or what not. "....and that's when I decided to check on my daughter before the party ended for the evening, when I find out she left early...To meet her special some-pony for a date." He finishes while glaring at you.

>A chill runs down your spine and you gulp. Your palms start sweating and you're pretty sure Octi's just as frazzled as you.

>"I went to all her friends to see who her mysterious suitor was, and what kind of stallion he was. Can you Imagine the shock I had when they told me that he walked on two legs? Was about twice the size of a pony?

>Looking desperately at Octavia and you can see the focused look on her face.

>Her mind is racing a million thoughts a minute. You don't notice the mare from the house walk up behind you and the guard.

>"A business mare even asked me if my daughter was dating one of those Minotaur beasts! Can you even imagine the embarrassment I went through this evening!?"

>He walks up to you and punches you in the face.

>Hard.

>The blood is rushing in your mouth, but you don't give him the satisfaction of showing any signs of pain.

>You simply smile at him.

>Not the best time to be cheeky, not smart.

>"Why you little peasant beast!" He proceeds to punch you again. And again. And again.

>At this point you can feel yourself start to pass out. Hooves hurt a lot.

>"DAD STOP! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO HIM!?" Octavia is visibly shaking with anger, you look at her in the eyes and offer a tiny, weak smile. Telling her it's going to be alright

>Yeah. You hated this.

>All you can do now is stare at the moon and stars while you begin to drift off

>"Silence Octavia! this ape doesn't even deserve your pity! This piece of thrash worth less then manure from a farm."

>He goes to hit you again when a a grey hoof stop his.

>"That is quite enough dear, don't you think? Poor Anonymous here might get really hurt if you don't stop this." Says a calm voice with a subtle hint of sternness says.

>Mr. Von Clef is clearly shocked by whoever this mare is.

>Shocked enough to stop hitting you.

>"Ho-honey! I-I thought you were away on b-business to Manehatten for a few more days!"

>Barely making her out in the darkness, you can see she's a gray Earth or Pegasus Pony by the looks of it with a semi-long brown mane and blue eyes, she has a tiny smile on her face.

>"Well I couldn't stay away from my filly any longer when I heard she got a special some-pony!"

>Already? Jesus Christ.

>Rumors travel fast you guess.

>Specially when it involves a space monkey and the best known prodigy of Classical music currently in Equestria.

>Then mare then looked at you.

>You have NEVER felt that much emotion. So much fear.

>Her evaluating eyes pierced your soul.

>Fight or Flight instincts kicked in, wanted to run and couldn't.

>You were frozen. With the scariest pony you've ever met.

>After what felt like hours to you but it couldn't have been more than a few seconds, she stopped.

>As quickly as her gaze fell upon you it that intense emotion left.

>You blinked once. Twice, clearly confused by what just happened. 'Why was I so scared?'

>She smiled back down at you and looked back to where Mr. Von Clef and Octavia stood.

>"You wouldn't believe what I found out! My little filly is grown up now!" By this point she's hugging Octi to the point of her turning purple.

>"Mo-mom cant b-breathe!" Octavia finally manages to say. The mare finally lets go, still beaming.

>Your eyes widden and gulp again.

>This was Octavia's Mom!? The most influential Musical critic and composer this side of Equestria!

>This is the first time you've seen her due to her constant travels and the whole fact that your relationship was a secret and you tended to stay away from the mansion whenever possible.

>"I had to ask almost all of Canterlot for details on this elusive stallion, I almost gave up when nopony knew. I went to Tavi's practice but all the band members had already left."

>Her smile grew a bit more.

>"I saw this strange creature run out of a shop chased by two stallions, almost ran into me but I luckily got out of the way in time, Thank the princesses for that!"

>Huh? She must have been one of those ponies you almost ran into.

>Hearing her thank Luna put a small smile on your face, Even though the accident was completely your fault.

>Luna wasn't taken back kindly after the Night Mare Moon incident and people tended to stay away from her and only refer to her sister for thanks.

>"I finally walked in to this place called Pony Joe's exhausted, He had the most delicious of donuts In his shop, We made small talk and the strange creature came up."

>She looks back at you. "And he told me everything." Lighting and thunder explodes as she says this.

>Everything!? Fuck you Joe!! You never withheld anything about your dating at his shop, it was you and Octi's only safe haven in Catnerlot.

>He sold you out....

>One of your only friends...guess you were hurting his business a little too much.

>Cant blame him though, this was going to happen eventually.

>Yeah. You're fucking dead.

>Game over man.

>"Oh my, It looks like it's going to rain soon, lets carry this on inside." She motions the guard to let you go.

>"Wouldn't want my future Son-in-Law getting sick now would we?" Her smile grows even larger.

>She's still smiling while the rest of your jaws are currently on the ground. "Come on, I'll get the maids to get us some tea ready. We can talk then."

>She begins to trot back to the house while Mr. Von Clef hesitantly follows, the guard stays behind you.

>In case you decide to book it probably.

>Your brain is too busy being fried at the moment to run right now though.

>But hey! you're not being beaten anymore so this is a plus, maybe this wont lead to your death after all.

>Octi gives one last look at her parents before she runs up to you and hugs you tightly.

>"Are you okay Anon!?" she says while frantically looks you over.

>This tugs at your heart, causing her to be worried all the time. She really does cares about you though.

"Im fine Octi, I dont want to keep your mom waiting though, lets go." She breaks the hug and stands by your side.

>The two of you start walking towards the mansion and you brace yourself for anything that might happen.
