Twilight fumed and began to mimic Maggie while crossing her eyes. Applejack gave her a disproving look. “Correct Maggie! I see someone studied this summer!” said John throwing a wink at Trix. Twilight was furious! With Maggie! With Trix! Trix was supposed to be hers! At this point the unicorn hoped Maggie was her partner so she could beat her. John paired everyone up for sparring. Twilight got her wish. Twilight hung her head in the head in the face of Maggie's triumphant smile. She had lost to her again. First Trix,then her perfect answer record , now sparring? She hoped things couldn't get worse but they did.... Trix walked over with a concerned look on his face. “Heyy Tiger.” Purred Maggie. Twilight groaned half in pain, half in disgust. She didn't feel good at all. She was dizzy and overwhelmed...Then she fainted. Trix ignored Maggie and took Twilight to the Nurse's office. The Nurse aka his mother Ruth cleaned the unicorns scrapes and put her on a bed to rest till next period. Trix sat on a vacant bed waiting for her to wake up... Applejack galloped to the Nurse's office , worried about Twilight. She saw Trix and let out a grunt, sitting on the edge of Twilight's bed.

“Can I help you?” drawled Trix.
“Yes as a matter a fact you can.” She said, Southern twang sprinkled with irritation.
“Tell me why these two gals are fighting like Captain Hoof and Peter Pony.”
Applejack knew the answer to her question but she wanted to see how Trix responded.

Trix blushed. “Um...Well..Maggie and I started seeing each other after you guys left, and I guess I should have told Twilight?”

The mare's voice got firm. “You're darn right you shoulda told her! Shame on you pittin these gals against each other like that.”
She gave him a stern look and turned to Twilight who had regained some of her color.
“Look it wasn't intentional! I had no idea Maggie would be so harsh!”
“Well you best tell her to simmer down then. I don't want either of them getting hurt!”
“Huh..I expected you to be like Bruno, staying true to feelings that were stronger over the summer. You both are so honorable.”

Applejack blushed at the mention of Bruno,then said, “Look. I don't want y'all to be broken up anymore than Twilight does. If you really feel like you're meant to be with Maggie then fine. But if you change your mind that door is gonna close real quick.”

Trix nodded. “Well things can change real quick Applejack. And maybe that door will open instead of close. And why are you blushing?”

Applejack blushed harder. “Don't change the subject! Are you suggesting that you want Twilight back?”

“If we keep this between us yes.And are you crushing on my brother?” Trix smirked.
“I am most certainly not crushin on Bruno!” She gave him an icy glare and then said after a moment, “I won't tell if you won't tell.”
“Secrets safe with me AJ. And I may or may not know how he feels about you.”
“Is that...Also a secret?”

Trix chuckled. “Not really, He stares at you ALL the time. All his friends and family know.”

“Really? I didn't even think the boy noticed me. But...We can talk about somethin else now.”
Trix raised an eyebrow. “If you insist.”

“Trix what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be celebrating Maggie's victory?” spat Twilight, clearly hurt. She just woken up to find Applejack sitting on her bed and Trix sitting across from her in the Nurse's office.

“I stayed to make sure you were okay.” Trix looked at her with the eyes of a dog that had been kicked.

The unicorn tried not to blush. “Oh? You were worried about me?”

Trix squirmed uncomfortably. “Yeah..Of course I was.. I still care about you.”
Twilight snorted. “You sure have a funny way of showing it.”
“Oh really?”

“Yes I had no idea you had any feelings at all towards me.”

“Well I guess I should be clear shouldn't I?”
Then Trix kissed her.
Twilight kissed him back against her will. She wanted to yell at him or slap him...maybe both..And yet she was kissing him hungrily.
Applejack cleared her throat.
Trix ended the kiss reluctantly. The unicorn's heart was racing.
“I...have to go..I'll see you later Twilight.” said Trix with a sheepish grin.

“Bye..” whispered Twilight. Her face was on fire.
“What the hay just happened right then and there?” asked Applejack.
“I have no idea Applejack. But I know that Trix still loves me. And for now that's enough.”
“If you say so Sugar-cube.”
And so they left the Nurse's office to second period.

Trix walked down the hall with a spring in his step. He felt a slight twinge of guilt for what he had done but his heart was racing from the kiss. He had kissed Twilight Sparkle. In the Nurse's office in front of Applejack. Twilight had kissed him back. That meant she still loved him. The greyhound's memories of last summer came flooding back. How could he lie to himself like that? There was a time when he loved Maggie and only Maggie but there was only one animal in his mind and heart. Twilight Sparkle.
Then the dog was dragged into a janitors closet by his jacket collar.
It was dark. He could smell who it was. Maggie. She had seen the kiss. Guilt washed over him. He was selfish and cruel to play with the cat's heart like that.

“How could you?! Trix you said you were over her! That she was a summer fad! I can't believe you of all animals would LIE to me! If you were half as decent as you pretend to be you would have told me the truth!” Maggie was sobbing. Her blue eyes glowed with hurt in the dark.

“I-I-I'm...sorry...so sorry Mags..I lied to you and myself..but I need to be honest now...I still care about Twilight..A lot..I suppressed it because I was lonely..and..you..were...there and she wasn't..”

Maggie sniffled. “Trix you could have told me that...I.. would have backed off. I'm sorry for hurting her in Gym today. That was uncalled for. Thank you for being honest with me. Better late than never I suppose.”

Trix hugged her. She kissed his cheek. “You better treat her well. She's been through hell because of you and me. I intend to apologize for my actions. You better do the same Tiger.”

The greyhound grinned. “Thanks Maggie. For everything..you are a great friend. Even when I don't deserve it.”

The Russian Blue rolled her eyes. “I think I just got friendzoned by Trix Barkson...You really don't deserve me you nutball. Well I have Art. Later!” She opened the door.
“Bye Mags.”

Twilight saw Trix get out of the Janitor's closet with Maggie behind him. His jacket was rumpled and Maggies necklace was backwards. Tears came flooding out of the unicorn's eyes. Trix was incredible. He had kissed her only to fly into Maggie's arms like it was nothing.

“Twilight? What's wrong?” Then Trix realized what she had just saw. “Wait it's not what you think! Twilight listen to me!”
But the unicorn was already too far gone to hear him.
