Trixie's not having a good year. The show's not earning enough, she's wound up in the backwaters of the pony lands, and soon she'll be kidnapped and put on trial by wild foals. Still, one does not give up when one is the Great and Powerful Trixie.

Inspired by, but not a contestant for, Manaphy's Unsung Heroes Writing Contest.
