You wake up feeling rather refreshed. Finally, no more weird blurry dreams!

You feel an itch at your head, so you bring up a hand, only to realize you don’t have a hand… Wait!

Memories come flooding in your head about yesterday. Finding out you’re a pony. Being jailed, that weird thing leaving Canterlot with the guard. The magical hat with the endless void, finding out your trailer houses a small mansion, and finally, you getting off as a mare.

You take a glance down to the bed, and sure enough, the photo album is still there, wide open and showing Twilight in all her glory. So, why did Trixie have this? Blackmail material? Seems weird to stalk a pony and capture her most intimate moments for blackmail. Was there another reason? Did Trixie like Twilight? Sure as hell didn’t seem like it in the show.

You still can’t believe you basically clopped in this body though. You like to tell yourself any guy would attempt this sooner or later, but that doesn’t make it any less bad in your mind. Sure, it felt good, and frankly, that orgasm was amazing. The real kicker came after, when you realized for a brief moment during your afterglow you didn’t mind being a girl or a pony.

Nothing will come from feeling down though, so you get up. Closing the album and placing it back from where you got it, that being the bottom shelf of the right cabinet; you take another look at yourself when you pass the standing mirror.

Oh…you need to clean up. Your hoof is mated with dried fur, and your lower body is even worse. Undoubtedly from your, ahem…juices, drying when you fell asleep. Well, might as well try out that bath.

Getting to the bathroom, you first use the squatting toilet again. It’s still a bit weird and you feel shame using it, but you don’t need to distract yourself this time. With any luck, this was the last time you needed to use it anyways.

The bathtub seems to be made for a pony, with touch buttons big enough to work with hoofs. Thank god for that. For a moment you feared that you would need magic to operate it. You missed it the first time, but it got a showerhead as well. Pressing the red button, you soon find lukewarm water flowing from the nozzle so you step under the flow. Even though the water is lukewarm, this is actually quite relaxing. Although trying to stand on your hind legs isn’t working quite well. It doesn’t hurt like before, but it does look like you’re drunk out of your mind, considering you have no balance like this.

It takes a while, but you somehow managed to hold against the wall while the water splashes over you. You do think that you should use a shampoo of some sorts, but how would that even work? You doubt you could hold a shampoo bottle in your hooves. At best you would probably just spill the entire content over yourself, wasting not only an entire bottle of shampoo, but more time as well.

It’s been fifteen minutes but the water remained the same temperature. Once again, you can’t help but get jealous. Your shower back home would have gone cold in five and freezing in ten. Piece of crap it is, just like everything else back home.

You decide you had enough, so you press the red button again. The water soon stops flowing, but now you need to get dry. There are a few more buttons, and one does seem to have an icon for air. You hope this doesn’t do anything weird as you press it.

You have no idea where it’s even coming from, but hot air is blowing all over your body. In no time it dries up your fur, and you don’t even need to use a towel to get dry. This magic business is so confusing, but damn if you’re not enjoying it. You’d kill to get technology half this advanced! Although, you’d probably become a lazy ass from not having to actually use manual labor for the most mundane tasks. Must be why Trixie’s body feels so weak to physical labor.

You press the air button again to stop the flow and making sure you’re cleaned up, you head to the kitchen. There are a few more apples, but you prefer an actual breakfast. What you wouldn’t give, to be able to eat bacon right now. Guess you’re forced to another meal of fruits or vegetables. You wonder if Trixie has some sort of cereal for breakfast. Do ponies eat cereal?

Opening a few shelves, you find bread, still in perfect condition. Well, that’s one thing, but does Trixie have anything to put on it? You try the refrigerator, which once again is proving hard to open with a hoof. You do manage to open it after some struggling. Inside, you find a few bottles of milk, some lettuce and some tomato slices. Not the thing you normally enjoy eating, but it’s better than nothing.

You’re glad the tomatoes are already sliced, as you wouldn’t be able to cut them yourself. Trying to put the lettuce and tomato slices on your bread is hard enough, but you make yourself two sandwiches. They’re not the best looking, considering the lettuce isn’t cut to fit the size of the bread, but you don’t care about that. You take a bite, and once again you find yourself praising the vegetables of this world. In no time, you wolfed down both sandwiches. You go to the sink and drink like that again. Sure, that milk looks tasty, but you rather not drop any and possibly spilling it on the floor and maybe yourself. No need to waste any more time like this. With your thirst parched, you feel it’s time to head to Ponyville.

You go out of your mobile home, only to see that fake purple member still lying there. Oh, right …

You sigh. You can’t leave that thing there. With a rather grossed look, you pick up the item in question, and toss it inside your trailer. Maybe, you should have equipped your hat and cape? But the idea of walking around with a dildo inside your headwear is creepy enough to forgo that plan. Ponies are naked most of the time anyways.

You take a look to the sky, and notice the sun is already high in the sky. Drat, it must already be noon or passed. For the first time, you actually miss technology in the form of your alarm clock. You hated the thing, but right now it would have served its purpose.

You get on the trailer, an act that went a lot smoother this time and set forth on your journey to Ponyville. A small hour later, you can make out the town in the distance. As you get even closer you can see rows and rows of trees in the distance, as well as a red barn that looks awfully familiar. Sweet Apple Acres!

Coming even closer you can see Ponyville in all its glory. In the middle of the town you can spot a tall building, must be their town hall. Spread out to all sized are various houses. Most look the same, but you can make out a red building in the mix. That must be Sugarcube Corner. You can’t help it. You let out a little squeal of excitement. Gosh, that was embarrassing! You also spot a few bridges leading into town, and below those you can make out a lake running around the town. It really looks so peaceful.

You look up and scan the sky. Sure enough, you find a huge cloud cluster in the distance, and looking closer, you can see pegasi flying about. That must be Cloudsville. It seems to be a bit past Ponyville, but it leaves you in awe all the same. Having an actual city in the sky is mindboggling, but considering everything else so far, you might as well accept it.

Snapping out of it, you set about on your journey. You can’t make out Twilight’s house from here, so you might as well enter the town.

Going over one of the bridges, you can’t help but stare at every pony you come across. Oh! Those three are the flower sisters, Lilly, Daisy and Roseluck. And over there, Caramel and Berry Punch! Everywhere you look, you see ponies from the show, and even some you don’t recognize. This is awesome!

You got to hold back a second squeal of excitement, but that quickly fades when you notice they all stopped doing what they were doing and are staring at you. Staring and frowning.
That can’t be good. You can see them huddle together and start whispering. Crap, you better move to Twilight’s.

You forgot how unlikable Trixie could be. Her own fault, she did try to take over Ponyville once and nearly destroyed it on another occasion, but that puts you in quite a bad spot.

You hurry through the town, but everywhere you go ponies stare at you, disapproving glares, some even of anger. You try to ignore it as best as you can, but it’s making you nervous.

It takes a while, but once you spotted the big tree in the town, you knew where to go. You’re glad Twilight’s house seems to be somewhat away from other houses. You rather do this without any other ponies present. It will be hard enough explaining all this to just her, no need for a show.

Parking your cart next to Golden Oak library, you stay put on your trailer. You’ve gotten this far, but you realize you have no idea how to go from here. Do you just tell her the truth? What if she wants to study humans, and forced you to stay. She could even lock you up!

Ugh, no. That’s ridiculous. She might be interested for a bit, but she wouldn’t do anything brash. Stop freaking out!

You steady your resolve and jump off your trailer. This is it, a few more minutes and you’re home sweet home!

You knock on the door. Well, more like you basically slamming your hoof against it a few times, but you can hear a voice yelling “coming”. That voice! That’s Spike! You don’t care much about him one way or the other, but it’s still cool to be able to meet him. Gah focus! You’re missing him opening the door.

You take a quick breath, and give him your best smile.

“Hi-”

That’s as far as you go when Spike’s face twists in horror, and slams the door in your muzzle. Stupid little shit!

“What the hell?” not the best response, but screw being nice. That hurt!

“Go away!” Is all the frightened dragon shouts. Great, he’s afraid of you.

Just relax, be nice and play it cool.

“I need to talk to Twilight.”

“Twilight’s not home! She’s at Fluttershy’s.”

You’re about to respond, but you can hear Spike yelling about how stupid he was for telling you that. That’s just great. You barely found this place, Fluttershy lives at the edge of this town if you recall correctly. What the hell are you going to do now?

Wait, as you can’t do much else. You had a hard enough time finding Twilight’s house, and it’s only because this is the only big tree in the town. Fluttershy has a cottage, and you’ve no idea where that even is.

You get back on your trailer, and decide to wait there.

***

Yeah, screw that. It’s been ten minutes, and you’re anxious as can be. You either need to find Twilight or go to Fluttershy’s cottage.

You leave your trailer behind, as you start to walk through Ponyville. You do take a longer look at buildings. They look similar, but each house got its own little touch, such as flower boxes with different types of flowers and plants, different curtains and various decorations. It would remind you of row houses if it wasn’t for the fact that they aren’t attached to each other. You do notice that in one house a pony spots you, and quickly closes her curtains. This is really not going well.

You soon find yourself in an open spot in Ponyville, although it’s filled up with various stands. This must be their market, and since you have nothing better to do, you might as well have a look around.

Various fruit and vegetable vendors are promoting their goods. You recognize that rowdy stallion that tried to rip off Fluttershy with the cherry, as well as the asparagus and tomato vendors. Every time you get close, they eye you though. Great, even these ponies dislike you.

You walk away, but a loose rock you didn’t notice makes you stumble and fall to the ground. Various ponies, who saw you fall, start to laugh. Can this day get any worse?

“You ok there, ma’am?”

That voice, that accent! You turn your head to come face to face with Big Macintosh. Only, from your point of view you can see him in all his glory. Holy molly! You always thought that fanon of him being huge was a stupid trope, but you can’t deny that they were right. It’s not even erect, and it’s already beating a human’s by far. You suddenly feel very naked yourself, when you realize ponies are just walking around showing off their goods. You didn’t pay any attention to it back in Canterlot, what with all the surprises coming your way, but you really miss your cape and hat right now. They’d at least provide some modesty.

You’re still staring at Big Macintosh his junk, bur he coughs once as he brings his hoof to yours. Stop staring, idiot!

You grab his hoof and he lifts you with ease to get you back on your hooves. Damn, is he ever strong! You do notice him blushing. Crap, he must have noticed you staring.

“Um, thank you.”

“You’re welcome, ma’am.”

He still got a slight blush on his face, but a voice makes you both turn to the direction it came from. This is it. That’s one voice you definitely recognize. You’re about to meet one of the mane six!

“Y’all ok there?”

You can see her approach with that yellow mane, slightly blowing from the wind. On her head is the old trusty stetson she always wears. Her orange coat looking every bit well groomed. It’s not a color you normally like, but she makes it work somehow. It’s time to meet Applejack!

“Don’t you pay dem dere ponies any attention, they don rightly know how wrong ‘tis to laugh-“

Applejack was smiling when she was approaching, but when she took a long look at you she stopped right in her track, the smile dropping from her face in an instance. That doesn’t bode well. Your fears are confirmed when her face twists to anger.

“YOU!”

Well, shit.

“Whaddya doin’here? Come to cause more trouble?”

You honestly feel a bit scared. She looks menacing when she’s angry.

“I…I need to see Twilight-“

“Ah bet you’re trying to stir up something fierce again, aren’t you! Well, I ain’t gonna step aside and let you make trouble around dem here parts, you hear!”

You try your best to try to explain to her that you’re not here to cause trouble, but you’re not exactly succeeding.

“You don’t understand, I’m not here-“

“Git out!” Applejack yells at you, interrupting your plea.

“But-“

“I said git!”

You can’t help it, but when she moved a bit closer to you, fear came over you. You ran away from the market even though you did nothing wrong. You actually feel like crying again. Here you are, living any brony’s dream, and all you got going for it was the worst experience ever. Who’d have thought Applejack could get so mean. You can’t deny that she shouldn’t have her reasons, what with has transpired in this town before. Trixie did humiliate her and made her work as a slave, but it still comes as a surprise for you. This actually puts you in quite the predicament. What if Twilight responds in a similar way?

You’re lost deep in thoughts, but you get the scare of a lifetime when your vision suddenly fills up with pink. Good god! Where did that appear from?

“Hi!”

A cheery voice is the response to your thoughts. Pinkie Pie! Oh, you hope she doesn’t yell at you too.

“H- Hello?”

A weak response is all you can offer in return. Sheehs, that meeting with Applejack earlier is really sitting badly with you.

“Aww, what’s wrong? Well, don’t you worry, I’m Pinkie Pie and I’m going to cheer you right up!”

She says with a smile as she starts to bounce right in front of you, and for the first time you get a good look at her. She’s every bit like the show, down to the poofy mane and tail. Still, doesn’t she remember you?

“Um…It’s me, Trixie?”

You don’t really know why you said that, but it slipped from your tongue before you thought it through. You get a second fright when Pinkie lunges right into your face and stares deeply into your eyes.

“You sure about that?”

What? Does she know?

“Yes?” is your weak response. You don’t know why, but for some reason you feel it’s better to lie to her.

Pinkie, for her part, just stares even deeper, as if she’s trying to stare right into your soul. This is honestly scarier than the thing with Applejack.

“Do you have a twin sister?”

“No…”

“You absolutely, positively sure?”

Ugh, this mare is driving you crazy!

“Yes, I’m sure.”

“Oh, alrighty then.”

Her suddenly backing down and smiling at you, is honestly the weirdest thing you have experienced in this world so far. This is more than an overdosed pony high on sugar and caffeine that the fandom makes her out to be. She’s like borderline creepy, and every fiber of your being is standing on edge out of fear for her.

You’re honestly afraid to ask, but your curiosity is driving you forward into doing it anyways.

“Why did you think I have a twin?”

“I knew a new pony was coming into town, but when I spotted you, I thought I saw you before, and then I remember you’re that meaniepants unicorn, but you don’t feel like her, so I said to myself, Pinkie, that can’t be that pony, cause she looks different than her, but then you said you are her, but you feel different, so I wanted to make sure that you are her, but since you say you are her, it must be true.

What. You don’t know what’s worse. The fact she knew you were here, or the fact she said all that without even taking a breath. She’s just standing there smiling at you, as if she hasn’t a care in the world. Wait, did she say she knew you were coming?

“How did you know I was here?”

“Oh that’s easy. I was baking some blueberry muffins for Derpy as I do every afternoon. They’re her favorite you know. I prefer double chocolate chip though, as they give you that extra flavor, they’re so yummy in your tummy! Anyways, as I was saying, I was baking some muffins when all off the sudden my back got itchy, my eye fluttered and my ear flopped. That means I would meet a new friend, so here I am! So, will you be my friend?”

She once again gets in your face, all smiles and less creepiness then before, but you still find it scary. Just say yes, she might stop being weird.

“Sure.”

Never in a million years would you have thought that you would ever regret saying yes to that question, but as soon as the words escaped your lips she grabbed you in a bear hug. This pony doesn’t know the first thing about personal space nor does she realize you’re running out of breath!

Either she did realize it or she can read minds, but she finally lets you go.

“I’m supposed to dash to Dashie.” She starts but stops to giggle at her own silly joke. “But I can’t leave a friend when she’s all sad, especially a new friend!”

Ugh, no. You need her gone before she drives you insane! You give her a little fake smile in the hope that she thinks that she cheered you up, but she stares at you and gets a bit sad.

“Can’t you smile a teensy bit more?”

Your smile gets wider, it’s forced by far, but she seems to cheer right up.

“Come on, just a tad more.”

Oh, for god sake! You flash her the widest smile you can muster. It’s even more forced as hell, and every normal pony should be able to tell instantly, but she gives a weee of joy before she waves her hoof and bounces away.

“See you later, new friend!”

Not if you can help it! This isn’t how you would have envisioned meeting the mane six. So far two out of two have scared you to pieces. Giving up to even try finding Fluttershy’s house, more out of risk for bumping into more ponies than anything else, you walk back to Twilight’s place.

***

It took a while to find your way back, as you’re still not used to this town’s locations, but you find yourself back at Twilight’s house. You kind of wish you didn’t though. The entire mane six is standing there, and they’re all eyeing you. Well, most of them. Pinkie is smiling and waving at you. It honestly makes you happy. That makes one that doesn’t seem angry at you. You can barely make out Fluttershy, as she seems to be hiding behind Rainbow Dash, who you can tell isn’t too pleased to see you either. She looks pissed, but you can’t help but notice that she has a hind leg in a cast. What happened there? Rarity seems indifferent, but still eyes you warily. Applejack is glaring daggers at you. They all pale in comparison when you spot Twilight. You can’t help it, she was your favorite, but she too seems to look at you with some apprehension. She seems taller though, and it takes you a few seconds to spot…wings. Oh, Twilicorn. Your inner debate whenever you like her better with or without wings is cut short as Applejack starts to shout again.

“Ah told y’all she’s back!”

“Hi…” You mutter weakly.

“What are you doing here again?” Rainbow Dash slightly flies towards you. Whatever happened to her leg seems to not hinder her ability to fly. You can’t help but stare, considering it’s the first time you see a pegasus up close. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to sit well with her. “If you even try to do something to my wings again, I’ll buck you so hard, you won’t be able to sit for weeks!”

Great, that’s the second time a mane six threatens you, this time it being Rainbow Dash. This is officially the worst meeting you could ever have with them. This much anger towards you seems strange though, didn’t Trixie get off on relatively good terms with them?

“Ah told her to git, but she ain’t listening to a word ah said. Am telling y’all, she’s here for trouble!”

Applejack is still accusing you. You need to nip this in the bud before you get run out of town by them.

“I’m not! I need to speak with Twilight.”

“With me? About what?” You can’t help but stare at Twilight when she spoke. God, if this situation wasn’t all fucked, this would be a dream come true.

So now what, do you just blur it out? Yeah right, with them being so hostile, you’ll have a better chance convincing them you’re insane than them believing you. Even if they do, you’ve no way of knowing how they’ll react. You need the rest of them gone so you can tell Twilight in private. At least she doesn’t seem hostile to you.

“That’s…private.” You mutter weakly.

“Pfff, yeah right! You just want to be alone with Twilight so you can fight her again!” Rainbow Dash is quickly getting on your nerves.

“Aww, don’t be mean to her Dashie, she’s not the same old meaniepants as before.”

You want to hug Pinkie for trying to defend you.

“How do you mean, Pinkie?” Dash asks her.

“She feels different.”

Really, you are going to hug that pony. She might be one creepy pony with no sense of personal space, but right now she’s your hero. At least that’s the idea but for some reason Applejack and Rainbow Dash seem even more wary of you now, glaring at you as if you killed a relative of them.

“What?” You let out when Dash is getting closer and staring at you, checking you out for some reason.

“Are you Trixie?”

Well, you didn’t expect that. Can they tell? Ugh, might as well get this over with. You want to say no, but for whatever reason you can’t. It’s as if every time you try to say the word, it gets stuffed inside your throat. What the hell? Come on, just say it, they’re glaring at you and are getting more anxious. Just say no!

“Yes, of course I am!”

No seriously, what the hell is going on? Why can’t you say the truth? Did that mare put a safety of some sorts on this switch so you can’t rat on her? Whatever it is, Rainbow and the rest don’t look too convinced.

“She ain’t speakin’ about herself all fancy schmansy like she normally does. Am telling y’all, she’s a fake!”

You have no idea what the hell is going on, but the last thing you suspected was for Rainbow Dash to lunge at you and pin you down.

“What the? Let go off me!”

Try as you might, you can’t shake her loose.

“Check her, Twilight!” The cyan pegasus yells at her, while she’s pushing you into the ground.

You really are afraid right now. Whatever is going on, they seem to have gone crazy. Are they going to hurt you? If you live through this, you’re going to smack Trixie for putting you through this hell. This is all wrong! The mane six are supposed to be nice, but right now half of them seem hell bend on nearly killing you or something. What did you do wrong? Did Trixie cause more trouble in Ponyville before she switched with you? Are you going to pay for her crimes? You notice Twilight approaching you, and your breath gets shallow. You can’t help it. You’re terrified of what they’re going to do to you.

“I’m sorry for all this Trixie, but we have to be sure.” Is all Twilight tells you before she uses magic. It seems she teleported or spawned one of those weird orbs in her hoof, and is now pointing it at you. Just as before, back in Canterlot, it starts to hit you with a bright light. You shouldn’t fear this thing, it didn’t do anything last time, but last time you didn’t have a crazy pegasus holding you down. As the scan fades it makes a ping sound, just like the one before.

“She checks out Rainbow, you can let her go.”

But Rainbow Dash isn’t doing any of the sorts. Goddamn crazy mare!

“That can’t be right? Check her again!”

“Darling, if Twilight says she checks out, she checks out.” Rarity finally steps forwards.

“Yeah, let go of me, crazy bitch.”

You had enough of this, panic fades and anger takes over. You’re about two seconds away from punching this mare, hands or no hands.

“I’m telling you, she’s fooling all of you. So Twilight’s thingy isn’t working on her. They must have found a way to fool it. She’s one of them, you know I’m right!”

‘They’? Who the hell are ‘they’?

“Rainbow’s right, y’all. She’s not acting like normal.”

Great, hick pony is backing up the crazy bitch.

“Dashie, you should let her go.” Pinkie hops over to you two, and tries to make Rainbow stop. She’s still not relenting though, stubborn as hell, this one.

“B- But, she’s not herself right? Why isn’t she using magic to make me stop then?”

“BECAUSE I CAN’T, YOU STUPID CUNT!”

You didn’t mean to shout, but your patience has run out. You’ve had the worst two days in your life, and all this isn’t helping. You should have been home again, switched back to normal. Instead this mess happens. Whenever it’s because you shouted or she finally realizes you’re not one of ‘them’, Rainbow Dash finally lets you go. As you get up, you can’t help but notice they’re all staring at you. Applejack and Rainbow Dash still seem a bit upset, but the rest seems to look at you with…pity?

“How do you mean, Trixie?” Twilight steps forward and for the first time you can get a good look at her. She’s a tad taller then you, not by much, and definitely not as big as the other princesses, but she still got a couple of inches on you. The look on her face calms you down instantly though. You can tell, she feels sorry for you, and she somewhat seems to look concerned for you.

Just fabricate some story, get the rest of them to leave, and get Twilight to undo this mess. How hard can it be? You do remind yourself to speak like Trixie usually does, because whatever is putting them on edge seems to be because you’re not acting like regular Trixie.

“Trixie can’t use magic anymore. That’s why she came to see you, Twilight Sparkle.”

God, you hope that is how Trixie talks. Twilight seems to stare at you a bit, before turning to the others as if they’re silently debating what to do with you. That quickly stops when you hear murmurs behind you. It seems you gathered a crowd. Twilight sighs before she tells you to follow her.

“Twi?” And “Twilight?” is what Applejack and Rainbow Dash gasp, as if they can’t believe that she’s trusting you, but with another sigh from her, they let you pass before closely following you.

Entering the house tree, you get to see Golden Oaks library from the inside. It’s big, bigger then the show gave it credit. Most of the inside seems to be holding bookshelves. Most are in order, but there are scattered books here and there. You wouldn’t call it clustered as it’s only on a few places, but it’s not exactly how a regular library would look like. You can make out a staircase leading up, and next to that another one going down. There also seems to be another section behind a door, maybe a living quarters?

That question gets answered when Spike appears from there, and you could briefly spot what seems to be a kitchen.

“Oh, hi girls, did you get rid…“ He falls silent when he spots you “W- What’s she doing here?”

“Yeah, why’d you let her in?” Dash asks.

“Ugh, Trixie can you stay down here please? I need to have a talk with my friends.” Twilight responds before looking at the rest “Girls, Spike, upstairs.”

With some murmuring from some of them, they disappear upstairs.

Well, this is completely fucked. For some reason, they seem to really distrust you. Trixie must have done something, but what? Also, who the hell is ‘they’? Did Trixie work for some group that tried to harm the mane six? Rainbow Dash her leg is in a cast. Did you do that? God, you hope not, or you’re never getting home. What are they doing up there anyways? Are they deciding your fate? For all you know, you might end up back in a cell. You need to get up there and eavesdrop or something! In the worst case scenario, you can just run away before they even realize you’re gone.

You try to make as little sound as possible as you ascend the stairs, not an easy feat considering you got hooves, and are not used to climbing stairs to begin with on them, but you somehow managed to make it work. There are two doors here, and you can hear muffled voices coming from the right. Placing your ear on the door, you start to listen in on their conversation.

“…And ah still ain’t trusting her. She just comes right when things are getting back to normal around here.” You can hear Applejack telling the rest.

“I admit the timing is odd, but she seems to be telling the truth.”

“Twilight, don’t let her fool you! She just wants to humiliate us again. What if she’s working for them? She might be the real deal, but that doesn’t mean she can be trusted.”

“I hardly doubt Trixie would be working for them Rainbow. She’s rude, can be a tad obnoxious, and sure likes to brag about herself, but I don’t think she’s the kind of pony that would step that low. She did apologize to us before.”

“To YOU maybe, she ain’t even given us the time of day. Just ran off, leaving us to clean up her mess around the town. That dere pony is nothing but trouble.”

“Applejack’s right, you guys. What if she’s trying to play the poor victim without any magic, and then when we turn our back, she zaps us all with some weird magic again.”

“Rainbow darling, I do think you’re exaggerating.”

“Am I? What if she makes your hair green again? Or what is she runs you out of town again, Twilight? Or zips Pinkie’s mouth away.”

“That was kinda funny…”

“Spike! Don’t say that”

“Sorry, Twilight.”

“Well, what do you propose we should do with her then, darling?”

“Tell her to get lost obviously. She’s probably faking not being able to use magic anyways.”

“I doubt that, dear. She’s too prideful for that.”

“Whaddya mean Rarity?”

“What Rarity means Applejack, is that it’s highly unlikely that Trixie would be lying about that. You see, for a unicorn magic means everything. Admitting you lost the ability to use it is quite shameful. And considering that unicorn is Trixie, it must have taken a lot of her pride to admit. I really don’t see her humiliating herself, just to fool all of us.”

“Well, fine. Even if she’s telling the truth, who’s to tell she won’t turn against us, the first moment she regains her magic.”

“Rainbow…”

“I’m serious Twilight. She isn’t touching my wings again!”

“Obviously, all this bickering isn’t getting us anywhere darlings. Can I suggest a voting of some sorts?”

“A voting?” you can hear them repeat.

“This concerns all of us right? Six ponies and a baby dragon, seven votes. Majority wins.”

“Fine, I’m voting that she gets lost. You’re with me, right Applejack?”

“Ah ain’t trusting that dere pony one bit. She’s not lying about her magic, ah can tell that. But she’s hiding something. Am voting against her.”

“Hah, that’s two! What do you say, Pinkie?”

“But she seems different Dashie. And she’s my friend now.”

“She’s…what, when did that happen?”

“About half an hour ago.” She responds matter of factly.

“Ugh, fine. What about you, Fluttershy?”

“Oh…um. I um…maybe uh…” You can’t make out any more as she cuts off into squeaking.

“Oh, for the love of. Rarity?”

“I don’t know darling, I admit, she wasn’t exactly the most pleasant pony to be around, but if she comes to us in a time of need, I’d feel bad about forcing her to leave.”

“So that’s two for, two against, and Fluttershy being Fluttershy. That leaves Spike and Twilight.”

“She scares me! I’d rather have that she’s not here.”

“Spike votes against her! That means it’s all up to you, Twilight.”

“I’m sorry Rainbow Dash, but I can’t do something like that. I like to help her in any way that I can. Besides, don’t you think this is a great opportunity?”

“What do you mean, darling?”

“Don’t you think that this is a great way to try to make her nice?”

“That dere pony being nice? Ah sooner eat my hat then that happening.”

“I’m serious Applejack. She kind of reminds me of myself before I met all of you.”

“Wow, wow, wow. You’re NOTHING like her.”

“But I might have been Rainbow. If it wasn’t for princess Celestia taking me under her wing, and then meeting all of you, I might have turned out somewhat like her. Granted, I’m not a bragger like her, but being lonely does terrible things to a pony. Believe me, I know. I don’t think she has any friends, and that’s why she’s always so mean. Maybe if we show her the magic of friendship, she’d be nice from then on? I like to think that at least.”

“Ah don’t like it one bit Twilight, but if that’s what you want, ah’ll respect it.”

“You’re making a big mistake, Twilight!”

Well, it seems most of them are willing to give you the benefit of doubt. You still don’t know why Rainbow Dash and Applejack are so against you, but whoever ‘them’ are, must have shaken them badly. Oh, you better move, you can hear them approaching. You managed to somehow trot downstairs without them having heard you, and you quickly dash near a table filled with books, as if you’ve been waiting there all along.

It doesn’t take long before they all come down. Most of them seem to look at you in a nicer way, but Dash and AJ still lock eyes with you in a menacing way.

“We decided you can stay Trixie. I’ll do everything I can to help you regain your magic.” Twilight steps forward with a smile.

“Oh, thank you! Trixie won’t let you down.” Ugh, all this mushy stuff isn’t something you enjoy, but right now you need to suck it up, and get on their good side.

“Twilight might trust you, but if you even try as much as anything, you’ll be sorry you ever came back.” Rainbow threatens you before she flies off. Applejack doesn’t even say anything, and opens the door before walking off. Fluttershy squeaks out something unintelligible before she goes away too. It’d be cute, if it wasn’t under these circumstances.

“Don’t you worry none, dear. Twilight here will help you regain your magic in no time. As one lady to another, I understand all too well how horrible this must be for you, and know that if there is anything I can do to help, don’t hesitate to ask.”

“Um, thanks Rarity.”

“Oh, you know my name?”

Crap. Don’t blow it now. Work on her ego!

“Oh, of course Trixie knows about Rarity, the fashion designer. You’re all the talk in Canterlot.”

“Oh, my. You hear that girls? I had no idea my fashion was that well known.”

God, you hope you didn’t lay it on too thick there, but she seems to be lost in her own little world. She snaps out of it, and with a, “I have to go work on more clothing.” Rarity too leaves the library. That means only Pinkie and Spike left.

“Oh, I’m so happy you’re staying, my newest bestest friend. Wait, that’s not true. You can’t be my bestest friend yet, because I barely know you. Oh, I hope that doesn’t make you sad. I’m sorry, please don’t be sad. You can be my bestest friend if you want, but then that might make my old bestest friend sad and then I need to cheer her up. Oh, what should I do.”

Random pony sure is random.

“It’s ok, Pinkie Pie. Trixie is happy enough that you’re her friend.”

For the second time today you regret saying that, as she once again grabs you into a bear hug. With another weee she lets go before she yells something about “Got to prepare.”

You look at Spike but all he does is cower.

“I, uh, think I left the oven on in the kitchen!” and with that, he too is gone.

That means you’re finally alone with Twilight. You should tell her the truth, but just as before, it seems the words are held back in your throat. You really can’t rat on Trixie? Are you going to be stuck like this for the entire duration?

Now what are you going to do?

Author's Note

Well, that wasn't the best start now, was it? Next chapter we finally get some questions answered!

On another note, I hope the dialogue with the mane six isn't confusing. I tried to work without adding "she said, Rainbow shouted' and all that stuff, but that might have been a mistake. If it is, please drop a comment and I'll edit accordingly

Also, I hope I got AJ's accent right, goddamn southern typing!
