Trixie's hopeful, new life.

Chapter 6. Trixies new day.

Trixie woke to the sound of birds chirping she had a warm feeling that today would be great.

She walked to the library where Twilight was already underway preparing Fluttershy for the lesson today. Fluttershy didn't know how to approach Trixie. Trixie opened the door to the library and walked into the foyer.

“Good morning Princess Twilight.” Trixie greeted simply.

“AAAAHHHHHH!” Fluttershy squeaked and hid under the table.

“Did Trixie do something wrong?” She asked confused.

“No that's just Fluttershy.” Twilight was Trying to cox the timid Pegasus from under the table.

Fluttershy came out but hid her face with her long main. Trixie sat down at the table and began to read one of the books that Princess Twilight had given her.

“Trixie. This is Fluttershy.” Twilight introduced the two.

“Hello.” Trixie said not looking away from her book still sorting through her feelings about being in Ponyville.

“Hello Trixie.” Fluttershy spoke meekly.

“Fluttershy is going to help with today's lesson.” Twilight said.

Trixie turned looking to Fluttershy expectantly.  The shy Pegasus didn't speak she simply taped a hoof on the floor. Trixie didn't say anything either waiting for the lesson to begin.

After waiting for what seemed like hours. Twilight spoke.

“Ahem. Well today's lesson will be about kindness.” She saw Trixie stop banging her head on the table trying to be patient.

“Trixie is kind. Trixie gave a little filly back her bit she lost.” She said proudly.

Twilight nodded acknowledging the kind gesture.

“Well today I was hoping that I could see your kindness first hoof.” Twilight said.

“Trixie will oblige you Princess.” She said to her teacher. Getting up off her seat and walking over to Fluttershy who immediately backed away.

“Trixie wont harm you.” Trixie trying to manage as motherly a tone as she could.

Fluttershy was still hiding her face but seemed a little more at ease. Trixie gave Fluttershy a hug.

She smiled and looked to Twilight.

“There Trixie is kind.” Twilight face hoofed.

“Not really what I meant.” Twilight walked over and opened the door to let some animals in.

“Today you are going to help Fluttershy get the animals ready for autumn.” Trixie tilted her head. She didn't have a clue as to what she was supposed to say.

“Fluttershy will tell you what she needs you to do.” Twilight left it open for Fluttershy to step in. Fluttershy just gave Trixie a list of all the animals that hibernated and all the things they needed before autumn and winter. Trixie read the list taking about half an hour to get through it all, being so long that it almost reached out the library door.

“Trixie sees. She will commence the tasks at once.” Trixie seeming undaunted by the exceedingly long list of things to do.

Fluttershy blinked at Twilight, all she could do was raise a hoof in the air. Trixie went about the business she was asked to do by The Princess and Fluttershy. Trixie was walking with Fluttershy following her. She used her magic to pick up all the nuts for the squirrels, and berries for the bears. The day passed slowly still humid from the summer rains. The grass near Fluttershys cottage was tall but not excessively so. Fluttershys garden and flower beds were naturally beautiful the animals nibbling stray leaves and unopened flower buds off to trim them for her.

Trixie sniffed the flowers accidentally snorting a bee into her nose. It stung her making Trixie scream and sneeze. The bee came out but Trixie was allergic to bees not deathly so, but enough to make her nose swell to comical proportions. Making her sound very strange.

“Flunnershy , halp Tnixie.” Trixie managed through speaking with a nose about three times the size it was a few seconds ago.

“Oh..my.” Fluttershy said as she went inside to get medicine. After a few moments fidgeting and frantically searching for her bee sting medicine she went back to Trixie who was now listing to the side the bee stung her on. A few moments after Fluttershy applied the medication Trixie was back to normal.

“Thank you Fluttershy.” Fluttershy simply nodded and offered Trixie a meal for her hard work.

Trixie accepted and went inside.

Fluttershy made Trixie soup Trixie ate the soup slowly as it was really hot.

“This is the best soup Trixie has ever tasted.” Trixie was now slurping down the soup cooled off enough to not burn her mouth.

“Thank you for helping Trixie.” Fluttershy said meekly. Trixie nodded and continued her soup.

Fluttershy and Trixie talked for hours after that. Everything Fluttershy did seemed to have some impact on Trixie. Just when the day was going so well Twilight stepped into Fluttershys cottage.

“Trixie you seem to have received a letter from Princess Celestia.” Trixie surprised by this telekineticly took the letter from Twilight. Trixie read the letter.

“Dear Trixie Lulamoon

Next time you are in Canterlot feel free to come speak to me.

Princess Celestia.”

“Odd.” Trixie stated tilting her head.

Twilight shrugged and bid Trixie to follow her back to the library to see if Trixie learned anything today. Of course Trixie being as stubborn as she is missed about half of the intended lessons in friendship. Only learning that ,there were a lot more squirrels than Trixie thought, and that Fluttershys soup was really good, and that bee stings in your nose really hurt more than one would think. Twilight had to go over all of the intended lesson material. Trixie listened and at the very least took notes at Twilights request. Latter that night Twilights stomach growled Trixie offered to make Twilight some peanut butter crackers. The two ate the snack while reviewing the days lesson another time.

“Trixie does understand you see Twilight.” Trixie making her magical aura into a illusion of the days prior events containing kindness.

“I see well then I guess you pass for today. But don't forget that tomorrow will be harder.” Trixie sighed at this.

“Really. Why must you make it so hard on Trixie?” Trixie said with a huff.

Twilight laughed getting a drink of her tea.

“Its not actually that hard.” Twilight saw Trixies face wrinkle in confusion.

“If its not hard. Why tell Trixie it was?” Twilight laughed again.

“I was just testing you.” Trixie looked to Spike.

“Do you wish to have some of the Great and Powerful Trixies snacks?” Trixie telekineticly gave Spike some of the peanut butter and crackers.

“Thanks.” Spike said unenthusiastic about being given anything from Trixie.

Trixie and her teacher spent about another hour talking about the lessons thus far, when Twilight suddenly stopped.

“Trixie how much does the inn cost you?” Trixie stopped eating and swallowed.

“Only five bits per night. Why do you ask?” Trixie was a bit confused at the sudden interest in her sleeping arrangements.

“Well because it is actually my responsibility to house you now.” Trixie still confused.

“So Trixie likes the inn. Its quiet and Trixie likes to sleep in a quiet place.” Twilight face-hoofed.

“Well Apple Jacks farm is quiet. You could stay there. It wouldn't cost you, that is if Apple Jack would let you. Trixie pondered the idea continuing to munch down on the snacks.

“Trixie thinks it may be a good idea.” Twilight nodded.

“Well I am going to bed you do the same Trixie. Its still going to be a long day.” Twilight walked upstairs to her bed. Trixie nodded packing her books, and notes. Trixie checked into the inn for another night until different accommodations were set. She locked the door and crawled into bed, when a knock came at the door. Trixie answered the door only to find no one there, looking down to find a gift. Trixie immediately opened it only to get a whipped cream custard in the face.

Outside the hallway window the guard burst into quieted laughter flying away to laugh harder so no pony would catch him goofing off. When he was a safe distance away he commenced rolling on the ground. Laughing so hard he could barely breath. ' That Trixie is so gullible. Take that for embarrassing me in Hoofington.' The guard thought to himself as he returned to his post as soon as he took his break.
