Trixie's hopeful, new life.

Chapter 7. Ponies past.

The day was fresh with morning dew on the lawn of the inn. Trixie was enjoying the bright sunshine and the smell of the morning air. Oddly the pie to the face the night prior didn't even enter her mind until she passed Sugar Cube Corner. She laughed to herself a little 'A harmless prank to have a laugh.' Trixie had pulled some pranks of her own before. Trixie recounted the pie she had washed off that night. The day was becoming overwhelmingly warm there was no breeze to ease the heat.

When Trixie arrived at the library Apple Jack was there and had agreed to take Trixie over to the farm to stay for as long as she was in Ponyville. The three got to work on the verity of tasks of the day. Trixie, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash were to help Fluttershy, and Apple Jack, as well as the regular lesson.

The Royal guards day shift had ended in Canterlot. He was going home to enjoy a drink and some reading before falling asleep. The guards wings were tired from flying around busy escorting the Princess all day. Passing by on the streets of Hoofington he noticed Trixie preforming, she issued a challenge to any pony that she could do anything better. Trixie immediately picked the guard out as someone she would challenge. The guard being who he was accepted the challenge. Many pies to the face latter he was defeated and humiliated. Swearing revenge at least in the most mild form of revenge he would humiliate her.

Trixie, Apple Jack, and Princess Twilight were settling Trixie into Sweet Apple Acres.

The lesson was to start when Rainbow Dash arrived, but wasn't due for another hour. The three ponies stood in a awkward silence for some time.

“So ya doin alright Trixie?” Apple Jack asked breaking the silence.

“Yes. Trixie is doing fine. How about yourself Apple Jack?” Trixie was not used to talking to Apple Jack. Thinking 'it is much easier to talk to Fluttershy.' Trixie was making small talk with a pony she had hurt along with her friends. This was very weird to say the least. When Rainbow dash arrived she was a little less than happy to be helping Trixie of all ponies, but she would always help her friends.

“Hey guys sorry I am late.” Rainbow dash rubbed a hoof behind her head.

“Its alright Dash.” Twilight looked to Trixie, she nodded that she was ready to start.

“Okay Rainbow Dash. Lets take a walk.” Rainbow tilted her head but landed and followed her friend. After walking for a good way into the apple orchard they stopped.

“Okay now Rainbow. If Trixie were to do something to humiliate me. What would you do?” Twilight said.

“I'd buck her strait to the moon. Why?” Rainbow asked slightly confused.

“See Trixie that's Loyalty, or close to it.” Trixie was confused at this.

“Bucking me to the moon is being loyal?” Rainbow laughed at this being amused at Trixies confusion.

“No. I mean that she would do that for me is loyalty.” Twilight corrected.

“So if both Trixie and I were your best friends Rainbow and Trixie tried to humiliate me. What then?” Twilight making it harder.

“Well as if I would ever be best friends with her even if she said she was sorry.” Rainbow scoffed.

“Yes agreed Trixie would never be friends with this hooligan.” Twilight face hoofed again.

“No No NO!!! I mean if you were, not that you are.” Twilight becoming slightly annoyed at the two bickering ponies.

“Oh well I don't know Twilight. Its like if you and Fluttershy were fighting. I don't know who I would defend. Your both my friends.” Trixie thinking about what it really meant to be friends.

“Well if Trixie had you two as friends Trixie would chose both.” Trixie said actually making Rainbow and Twilight think about how one would do that.

“Dash how would you handle that?” Twilight earning a confused look from both her friends, yes she did consider Trixie a friend.

“Well maybe try to show the both of you that it was pointless to fight.” Rainbow said unsure of it.

“Trixie agrees. There is no need to fight.” Twilight surprised at Trixie for saying that. Her of all ponies seemed to be intent on fighting or contests in some way. Getting a confused look from Rainbow dash.

“You think that even though you... never mind.” Rainbow stopped herself before she said something she might regret.

Trixie was working over the details on how she would be able to chose both. Writing it in her notebook that Twilight had given her for her (Classes) as Twilights student. 'The magic of friendship notebook' was the title written on the front cover. Rainbow Dash looked over her shoulder reading what Trixie had written.

“Hey this is mine get your own.” Barked Trixie.

“What I just wanted to see if you we plotting something.” Twilight rolling her eyes feeling that there would soon be a fight to break up. Just the thing she was trying to teach Trixie with. Only now it was going to happen, but instead of Rainbow or Trixie being put into a hard spot. It was going to end up Twilights responsibility to break them up.

“Today just keeps getting harder and harder.” Twilight chided herself about how she told Trixie the night before that it was going to be hard.

The months past into memory, but for one of the royal guard, the memory of being humiliated by one Great and Powerful Trixie was still fresh in his mind. His oath of revenge was to be had. but he couldn't do any such thing while on duty.

The royal guard was a vast assortment of ponies from earth ponies, to unicorns, and Pegasus ponies. There was one in particular that had a second task from all the other ponies in the entire reserve of the royal guard, he could make Princess Celestia laugh. His name was Jubilant light, he was a pure white Pegasus with a great sense of humor. Today was his day off from guard duty, so he decided to go around and play a few pranks. There were fewer joys he took than to gain a laugh at some pony else's expense. The pranks he pulled were harmless, most of the time gaining a laugh from the pony he was  pranking. Today was going to be the day that Trixie was sorry for making a foal of him.

He took flight to Ponyville, arriving a few hours latter. Taking the time to divert to help some ponies that had broken a wheel on their carriage. His plan was first, very simply have Trixie slip on a banana peel, then to get pied in the face in full view of everyone, then to make her feel what he did when she first humiliated him. ' what could go wrong?' in his mind it was perfect. He immediately went to the market to acquire a banana, and the rest of the things he would need to make Trixies past catch up with her. Hearing all about the stories from other guards making Trixie out to be a villain.
