A WING AND A PRAYER: PART 2

A WING AND A PRAYER:
PART 2

Fluttershy walked into Rainbow Dash's hospital room and gasped at the sight that beheld her feeling her heart swell with joy.

Rainbow Dash! Your awake! Thank Celestia!

ONE MONTH AGO....

Twilight and Trixie sat in Rainbow Dash's hospital room watching over the sleeping cyan blue mare.

“Why won't she wake up?” Twilight asked aloud her voice cracking as she spoke with tears in her eyes now.

“I wish I knew. I'll let you two have some time alone.” Trixie said in a soft tone and walked out of the room. Truth be told it tore Trixie up to see Twilight like this. Part of her wanted to hate Rainbow Dash for putting the purple unicorn through this, but she knew better than to hate the mare who gave so much up to save Twilight's life.

With Twilight now alone in the room with the sleeping cyan blue Pegasus, she reached over and kisses her gently on the lips and sighed. “Rainbow, I love you so much, but I can't keep waiting...” Twilight said in a soft tone her voice cracking as she spoke now. “Trixie is a big part of my life now and I know that deep inside, you understand why, at least, I hope you do.” Twilight continued to say as tears flowed from her eyes now like a water faucet left running.

“Twilight, I love you...don't leave me ever again...” Rainbow Dash mumbled out once again which caused Twilight to break into full blown sobs now.

“I-I don't want to, but...” Twilight said between sobs now as she trailed off to take another breath. “I can't keep waiting. This is tearing me up Rainbow! I can't keep holding on, if I do...there won't be anything left to grab a hold of if you ever do wake up!” Twilight exclaimed out loud as if Rainbow Dash had protested against this, she knew however she was still fast asleep in her comma.

“I swear, with Celestia as my witness, if you ever do wake up, I will come running back to you faster than racing Pegasus! But until that day, Trixie is giving me what you can't, Trixie is filling the gap in my heart that you can't fill.” Twilight said between sobs as she kissed Rainbow Dash's forehead in rapid succession now as she spoke and stopped once she had finished her sentence.

“Goodbye...for now, my love, please forgive me.” Twilight said in a soft tone as locked lips with the cyan blue Pegasus for a few moments before breaking the kiss and leaving the room.

PRESENT DAY....

“Wh-where am I?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously.

“You're in the hospital. You've been in a comma for a year now. But now you awake! This is ever so great news! I can't wait to tell the others!” Fluttershy exclaimed happily.

“Where's Twilight? Don't tell me she's...” Rainbow Dash said trailing off with a horrified expression now.

“No,no. She's just fine, she woke up from a comma of her own about four months ago.” Fluttershy replied in a comforting tone.

It was at this point the cyan blue Pegasus finally noticed. “Wait, why can't I feel my wings?” Rainbow Dash asked out loud in a slightly panicked tone at which Fluttershy's expression went sadden.

“They tried to save them, but they were damaged so badly from the fall...” Fluttershy began to say however trailed off.

It was at this point Rainbow Dash gave a glance at her sides and saw the scars on each side where her wings should have been and mere moments later her expression became frantic. “My wings?! Where are my wings?!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed in a frantic tone as she reached around to try and find her wings but couldn't find them which prompted her to become even more frantic.

“N-Nurse!” Fluttershy exclaimed very loudly as she realized Rainbow Dash was becoming worse by the second.

Moments later Nurse Redheart came trotting in at a fast pace and went wide-eyed at how the cyan blue Pegasus was reacting. “Fluttershy, go to the front desk and ask them to send three more nurse ponies down here, quickly please!” Nurse Redheart said in a urgent tone to which Fluttershy quickly left the room.

“Rainbow Dash, please calm down!” Nurse Redheart exclaimed loudly as she attempted to halt the cyan blue Pegasus’s frantic thrashing.

“Where are my wings?! What have you done with them?!” Rainbow Dash shrieked at the top of her lungs.

“She's reacting far worse than I thought she would...at this rate I’ll have to jam a tranquillizer into her flank in order to calm her before she makes her condition worse.” Nurse Redheart thought to herself in a serious tone as she continued to attempt to calm the frantic mare.

It was at this point three more nurse ponies rushed in and immediately went to trying to help nurse Redheart calm the Pegasus. “I think I’m going to need a tranquillizer.” Nurse Redheart managed to say over the cyan blue Pegasus's frantic screams.

“You can't hold her down on your own and it's taking all four of us to keep her in place!” A nurse ponies replied in a struggling tone.

Fluttershy watched this whole fiasco when one pony came to mind. “If any pony can bring her back to her senses...it's Twilight.” Fluttershy thought to herself and quickly darted out the hospital window towards Twilight's house.

“Twilight honey, I think we might have to go out and get some more scrolls. It seems we're running low again.” Trixie said in a higher tone so that Twilight could hear her a crossed the room where Twilight sat sorting books.

“Sounds good, we'll go out and get them once I finish sorting out these books.” Twilight called back in a similar higher tone.

At this exact moment however Fluttershy came barreling in through Twilight's window and crash landed right into the unicorn creating a huge mess. “What in Equestria?!” Trixie exclaimed in a shocked tone as she rushed over to the mess of books only to see Fluttershy and Twilight's heads pop out of the pile.

“Fluttershy?! What in Equestria would prompt you to do something so reckless?!” Trixie asked in a astonished tone.

Twilight however at this moment was seemingly frozen. For a brief second she thought it was Rainbow Dash who had barreled through that window as she had a habit of doing and up till Trixie calling out Fluttershy's name she was about to tackle the Pegasus. Upon realizing it was not Rainbow Dash however and recalling that her sleeping lover was in the hospital still and wingless she felt a ping of sadness in her chest for a few moments before she shook it off. “ Yeah, what in Equestria would make you pull such a stunt?” Twilight asked in an annoyed tone.

“Rainbow Dash is awake!” Fluttershy exclaimed in a happy tone.

If Twilight was frozen before, the expression on her face now would make any pony wonder if her brain had stopped working as she looked at Fluttershy blankly for a short time until she grabbed the Pegasus by the shoulders and yanked to close to that her face was right in front of the Yellow Pegasus's. “Repeat that again for me!” Twilight exclaimed in a shocked yet excited tone.

“Umm..okay, Rainbow Dash is awake!” Fluttershy exclaimed once again with wide smile.

Twilight's chest now was filled with so much joy that she couldn't contain it and jumped into the air shouting out “Yes, yes,yes,yes,yes!” as she magically summoned fireworks to explode around her and landed a few moments later ready to dash out the door when she suddenly halted mid-run and turned to look at Trixie whom was smiling at her.

“It was great while it lasted.” Trixie said in a happy tone yet only Twilight could tell she was actually sad about this news.

“Trixie, I....” Twilight said trailing off now as she walked up to the blue unicorn and placed a hoof on her cheek.

“It's okay Twilight. I haven't forgotten that Rainbow Dash was here first. From that day four months ago, I knew that this day may come, I was preparing for this day a long time.” Trixie replied as she placed a hoof over Twilight's chest where her heart was while keeping a brave face yet the purple unicorn could tell she was fighting back tears.

“Come with me. She has to know. Keeping this a secret last time is what nearly destroyed everything we had before.” Twilight replied with a smile.

“Are you sure that's a good idea? She's been in a comma for a year now, i'm not so sure that this kind of news would be good for her health.” Trixie replied in a concerned tone.

“Umm...girls..there's something you should know about Rainbow...” Fluttershy said in a quiet tone.

“What is it Fluttershy?” Twilight asked curiously.

Twilight, Trixie, and Fluttershy came rushing into the hospital room where Rainbow Dash was still thrashing about in a frantic panic over the loss of her wings.

“Rainbow! It's me Twilight! I'm here! Calm down please!” Twilight exclaimed as she managed to push her way in between two nurse ponies so that she was able to put her hooves on the cyan blue mare's cheeks now.

Hearing Twilight's voice immediately calmed the cyan blue Pegasus as Fluttershy had hopped she would. “Tw-Twilight?” Rainbow Dash asked in a horse tone.

“Yes, it's me. I'm here Dashy.” Twilight said in a soft tone as she leaned in and nuzzled her lover's cheek gently.

In the next moment the two locked lips and in that exact moment the passion, love and warmth between them that Twilight thought was forever lost a month ago came rushing back to her and filled her with joy she never thought she could feel again. True as it was that Trixie filled the gap in her heart while Rainbow was gone to the world, nothing could fill the gap in her heart like Rainbow Dash could.

“Ahem.” Nurse Redheart said as she cleared her throat loudly which caused Twilight to look over at her and blush crimson as she broke the kiss and backed away. “Rainbow Dash, as I’m sure you have realized, your wings are gone. They were so badly damaged in the fall that there was nothing we could do for them except amputate them. How Twilight managed to calm you down from such a frantic state is beyond me, but we need to bring you in for farther examination now.” Nurse Redheart said in an authoritative tone.

“Can't it wait?” Twilight asked in a hopeful tone.

“I'm afraid not Twilight, unlike you, Rainbow Dash has been in a comma far longer than you had been, therefore it is vital we examine her brain activity as soon as possible to assess if there was any brain damage. The sooner we find out the sooner we can began her recovery treatment.” Nurse Redheart replied in the same authoritative tone clearly not wavering her decision.

“I'm not going anywhere without Twilight.” Rainbow Dash said in a defiant tone as she crossed her hooves around her chest to which Nurse Redheart facehoofed and groaned.

“Very well, Twilight would be be kind enough to accompany us to the examination room?” Nurse Redheart replied in a defeated tone. She had exhausted most of her energy just trying to hold down the mare and she didn't feel like getting into yet another wrestling match with her today.

“Of course!” Twilight replied without a second thought.

Twilight sat in a chair next to Rainbow Dash holding her right hoof in her hooves as the nurse ponies began to hook a bunch of different wires to different parts of her body. “I'm so sorry Dashy.” Twilight said in a soft tone as she nuzzled her cheek against Rainbow Dash's hoof.

“For what?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously.

“I had given up hope that you would ever wake up a month ago...and three months before that, well Trixie was there...” Twilight replied in a soft tone as she kissed cyan blue Pegasus's hoof now softly.

“So, you've been with Trixie the entire time I was out eh?” Rainbow Dash asked in slightly hurt tone.

“Can you ever forgive a foalish unicorn?” Twilight asked in a soft tone.

“Twilight, do you remember what I said that day in the restaurant grounds?” Rainbow Dash asked looking into the purple unicorn's eyes now.

“It's been so long, I can barely remember what happened exactly.” Twilight replied truthfully.

“I said, If there's anything I’ve learned from this break of ours, it's that there is a possibility that we are not meant to be, but I’ll be banished to the moon before I give up on you. I know you can't say the same, but I want you to know, no matter what happens, all I want is for you to be happy. Even if...it's not being happy with me.” Rainbow Dash replied quoting herself word for word.

Hearing this brought tears to the purple unicorns eyes as she nuzzled her hoof once again. “I've never stopped loving you Rainbow, I'm ready to come back to you, that is, if you'll have me.” Twilight replied in a soft tone.

“What about Trixie? How does she feel about this?” Rainbow Dash asked in a concerned tone.

“She understands. She's the one who told me to go to you the moment we heard you had woken up.” Twilight replied softly though she did feel guilty just the same. She knew what going back to Rainbow Dash meant for Trixie, but she knew that she understood. Yet, despite this, she still felt horrible for doing this to her after all she's done for her.

“Twilight, as much as I want you back in my life, how could I be so selfish and take you away from Trixie?” Rainbow Dash asked in a soft tone.

“What are you saying Rainbow?” Twilight asked in a worried tone.

“I'm saying, don't give up everything you have just for me. I've been dead to the world for a year Twilight. I would never forgive myself if I took you away from her.” Rainbow Dash replied looking away from Twilight now.

“Dashy...I'm sorry. Please don't throw everything we have away just because I was a foalish mule and went to another mare while you were in a comma.” Twilight replied feeling tears swell up in her eyes.

SLAP!!!

Twilight held her cheek in shock looking at Rainbow Dash now who glared at her. “Twilight, don't you dare say that ever again, got that?! You weren't a foal for going to Trixie. How could I expect you to hang onto me for this long? You and Trixie have something great now. Possibly greater than what we had. I'll still be your friend Twilight, that will never change, but don't you dare give up Trixie in a faint hope to pick up what we had. We both know that it's impossible at this point. We would have to start over and you know it.” Rainbow Dash said in a serious tone as she looked at Twilight now.

A surge of emotions ran through the purple unicorn now. Pain,regret,sorrow, happiness, and joy. She couldn't explain why but all these emotions went through her all at once. She felt pain for hearing the words that Rainbow Dash spoke, regret for giving up in her, happiness for knowing that Rainbow Dash would still be around, joy for the cyan blue Pegasus talking sense into her, and yet throughout all this this, sorrow for the fact that she knew she was right.

“I wish things had turned out differently.” Twilight replied in a whisper now.

“Ya know, I thought I would say the same thing, but for some reason, I’m glad things turned out the way they did.” Rainbow Dash replied as a smile washed over her face now.

“But if I hadn't...fell, you would still have your wings.” Twilight replied feeling the all too familiar guilt begin to swell in her chest.

“Meh, just a pair of wings, no biggy. At least I’m still alive right?” Rainbow Dash replied as if shrugging off the fact.

Twilight knew she was putting on a brave face, the loss of her wings was a big blow to her and Twilight knew this. Her wings had been her pride and joy. She however decided not to call her on this as she didn't want to cause any more problems for her.

“So, how did things go?” Trixie asked with a smile as Twilight walked back into the waiting room.

“She said, I should stay with you.” Twilight replied softly.

“She what?” Trixie asked incredulously.

“Yeah, it was a shocker for me too.” Twilight replied followed by a sigh as she sat down next to the blue unicorn and placed her left hoof on Trixie's right hoof.

“How could she do such a thing to you?! After all this time you spent waiting on her?!” Trixie exclaimed in an outraged tone.

“Trixie, calm down! She's right. What me and you have is something that would take a long time to rebuild with Rainbow. And that's if we could. One thing Rainbow helped me realize is that, things will never be the same again between us.” Twilight said in a calm manner.

“Twilight, I refuse to believe that. In the time I’ve gotten to know you, there is one thing I know for a fact! You and Rainbow Dash were meant to be!” Trixie exclaimed in a calm yet fierce tone as she spoke now and stood up from the waiting couch.

“Where are you going?” Twilight asked curiously.

“To have a heart to heart talk with a hard-headed Pegasus!” Trixie exclaimed with a cocky grin and disappeared in a flash of magic before Twilight could stop her.

Trixie then reappeared in a flash of magic in Rainbow Dash's hospital room, magically locked all the doors and shut the curtains. “Rainbow Dash, we need to talk.” Trixie said simply.

“Trixie? Where's Twilight?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously.

“She's in the waiting room. Now, what's this I hear about you casting off Twilight like a wet sack into the trash can after all this time she has waited on you?!” Trixie exclaimed in a pissed off tone.

“Did Twilight put you up to this?” Rainbow Dash asked in an annoyed tone.

“No, she did not. In fact she protested against me, but I teleported away from her before she could stop me. Now answer me.” Trixie replied in the same pissed off tone.

“Trixie, you and Twilight have something now that would take me and Twilight years to regain. Just as I told her, I never could have expected her to wait on me this long. She has you now. I'll still be her and your friend, but it would be wrong of me to take her away from you.” Rainbow Dash replied in a calm tone.

“And if I were to not have been with her all this time?” Trixie asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Then I would of course have taken her back without a second thought, I still love her dearly, but it's not like you can change the past.” Rainbow Dash replied as she looked away from the blue unicorn now.

“That's all I needed to know.” Trixie replied and disappeared in a flash of magic at which point the curtains flew back open and the door unlocked at which point Twilight can barreling in.

“Trixie?! Where are you?!” Twilight exclaimed in a panicked tone as she looked around.

“She didn't go back to you?” Rainbow Dash asked in a confused tone.

“No, do you know where she is?” Twilight asked in a worried tone to which the cyan blue Pegasus shook her head.

“You do realize what you are asking me to do right?” Celestia asked in a stern tone as she looked at the blue unicorn.

“Yes.” Trixie replied.

“Why in Equestria would you ask me to do such a thing? Don't you love Twilight? After all this is why I spared you from being banished to the moon.” Celestia replied in the same tone not changing her expression in the slightest.

“More than anything, but she deserves Rainbow Dash more. I above all ponies know what she has gone through. What she is going through now. Every time she looks at Rainbow Dash, I can see it in her eyes, it's a look that she never could give me, a look that said that she truly and undoubtedly loved the mare she was looking at. Knowing that look, knowing that every time she sees Rainbow Dash and realizes she can never hold her, never show her just how much she cares for her. Knowing that each and every time she looks at Rainbow Dash knowing these things, a little more of her dies away, I can't bare to watch her go the rest of her life like this, it would destroy her.”Trixie replied in a soft tone as a tear streaked down her cheek.

Celestia's expression now softened before the blue unicorn as she sighed. “Those are the words from a pony who truly does love another. Very well, I will erase all traces of your relationship from the past. Your sacrifice will not go unrewarded however.” Celestia said in a soft tone as her horn began to glow brightly...

Twilight then stormed off in a fast paced trot from the restaurant grounds fighting back tears until she ran into a random pony as she was not bothering to look where she was going.

“First day back in this town and ponies are already lining up for the great and powerful Trixie?” The blue unicorn said in a cocky manner as she got back to all four hooves, got a clear view of Twilight whom was just getting back up herself, gawked for a few moments pointing a hoof at the purple unicorn with a shocked face. “Y-You!” Trixie exclaimed in a shocked tone.

“Ohhhhh, good to see you too again, Trixie.” Twilight replied in a dazed tone as she managed to get to all four hooves.

“I can't say the same for to you though.” Trixie replied sourly.

At this exact moment a lighting bolt seemed to streak through both unicorn's simultaneously.

“This feels so familiar...are you sure we haven't said this exact thing before?” Twilight replied curiously.

Trixie however stood frozen in place staring at Twilight as if she was transfixed on her face. “Trixie?” Twilight asked curiously.

Trixie then shook her head quickly and sighed. “No, no we haven't.” Trixie said in a sad tone.

“Oh, well, what was I going to say? Oh yes, if you still upset about me showing you up, it wasn't my fault Snips and Snails dragged an Ursa-minor into Ponyville okay?” Twilight replied defensively.

“I know this. Course my career has got to the outhouse since that day, but I thank you for that. If you had not shown me up that day, I would never truly realized how much of a foal I had been.” Trixie replied with a soft smile.

“I would expect-wait what?!” Twilight replied abruptly stopping her previous sentence and gawking at the blue unicorn in shock.

At this exact moment Trixie's stomach gave a mighty growl at which point Trixie blushed. “Umm..Twilight, would you mind if I came over to your house for dinner? I haven't the bits to afford a decent meal. That is, if I’m not imposing.” Trixie asked with a embarrassed blush.

“Not imposing at all, I would be delighted to have you over for dinner.” Twilight replied with a warm smile.

“Thank you Twilight. You have no idea how much this means to me.” Trixie said with a smile as she took a bite from the sandwich twilight had made her.

“You've changed a lot Trixie. You are barely the mare I remember from nearly three years ago.” Twilight remarked as she sat down next to her.

“Well, your actions were...humbling to say the least. It opened my eyes to a few things. And it was clear your magic is far greater than mine.” Trixie replied followed by a sigh.

“If you are going to be in town for a few weeks, I suppose I could teach you a few spells. If you don't mind that is?” Twilight asked with a warm smile.

“Really? That would be wonderful.” Trixie replied happily.

The days seemed to fly by as Twilight began to show Trixie how to perform some of her spells. Surprisingly for the purple unicorn, Trixie seemed to catch on quickly and mastered one spell with three days. A week later and Trixie had mastered another two spells she was shown.

“That's great Trixie! You really catch on quickly!” Twilight exclaimed happily.

“Well, I must say that you are a wonderful teacher Twilight. You are clear and precise in your teachings and that helped me to master the spells very quickly.” Trixie replied with a smile of her own.

“You don't give yourself enough credit. It took me weeks to master the spells I’ve taught you. You really have a raw talent for magic. In fact, I'm shocked your parents didn't apply you for Celestia's school for gifted unicorns.” Twilight replied in an excited tone.

“My parents weren't the most wealthy of the lot Twilight. In fact, we were barely making it by. We could barely afford food in our home, much less the cost of a proper education for a unicorn.” Trixie replied in a sad tone as her smile vanished from her face and was replaced with a frown.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn't mean to pry.” Twilight said lowering her ears as she felt a ping of guilt.

“Oh no, it's quite alright. We managed to get by though despite our finical hardship. It wasn't long though after I became a teenager that a local unicorn circus was in Canterlot. My parents saw how much I wanted to see the show, so they dug into their rainy day funds just to get me a ticket to see the show. Never before had I see such magic. It shocked and amazed me.” Trixie said then took a deep breath followed by a depressed sigh before she continued.

“I suppose it was fate that it happened, but it was on that same day just after the show, I was informed that my parents had been murdered when a unicorn burglar broke into our home. My father was a great unicorn, but clearly this one was far better. And my mother being an earth pony...well, she never stood a chance.” Trixie said followed by a sniffle as she wiped tears from her eyes.

“Dear Celestia...I had no idea.” Twilight remarked in a shocked tone as she placed a hoof over her mouth.

“Yes well, the unicorn circus heard of my ill fortunate and offered to take me in since I had no family to go to. They were great, and treated me like one of their own. I was soon taught some basic flashy spells and soon I became apart of their regular shows. It was a glamorous life, but I wanted to get out on my own when I became a fully grown mare. They of course told me I was welcome back anytime and gave a grand farewell party. I took all they had taught me on the road for my own fame and fortune. The fame however went to my head. A side of effect of being raised as a show mare. I was never taught the humility that comes with the gig. Humility that you taught me Twilight's Sparkle. And for that, I am grateful.” Trixie said looking at Twilight now as a smile washed back on her face.

“I just wish it hadn't come at the cost of your show biz career.” Twilight replied in a sad tone.

“It was bound to happen sooner or later. I would rather it have been you than any other pony. You're not like other ponies. There's something about you, something I can't explain, it's like your...the...most...humble...pony...I’ve...ever...” Trixie replied as she slowly leaned in closer and closer to Twilight's face with each word she spoke until she abruptly yanked her face away moments before she locked lips with the unicorn.

“Dear Celestia, I almost did it again!” Trixie exclaimed in a horrified tone as she put a hoof over her mouth looking away in shame.

“Did what again?” Twilight asked curiously. She realized moments after Trixie had suddenly yanked away what was about to happen and yet for some reason she felt like it should have but it didn't. This feeling confused her, however she attempted to brush it off.

“N-Nothing. Listen Twilight, I need to ask something of you.” Trixie asked in a shaken tone still looking away from the purple unicorn.

“Trixie...be honest with me. Were you about to kiss me?” Twilight asked curiously unable to brush off the feeling any longer and ignored Trixie's question.

“Y-yes, I mean no, I mean....hmmph!” Trixie replied however was abruptly cut off by Twilight locking lips with her. The blue unicorn was immediately lost in the kiss for sometime until she abruptly yanked away finally mustering the willpower to do so. “Tw-Twilight, we can't!” Trixie exclaimed in a panicked tone as she backed away from the purple unicorn.

“Why not? I'm not seeing anypony at the moment.” Twilight replied with a lustful grin.

“Don't you dare lie to me Twilight Sparkle!” Trixie exclaimed in a shocked yet outraged tone knowing that Twilight had just lied to her.

Twilight's expression suddenly became one of shock and horror realizing just what she had said. But what confused her more than anything is that she had not once told Trixie about her and Rainbow Dash. How could she possibly know?

“How do you know about me and Rainbow Dash?” Twilight asked curiously.

This question caused Trixie to go wide-eyed with a panicked expression. “I...umm...saw you two in the restaurant grounds just before she flew off.” Trixie replied after a few moments to which Twilight have a heavy sigh.

“The truth is, we are on a break from one another right now. I'm sorry for making a move on you Trixie. I don't know what came over me. It's feels like this has all happened before, but it feels all wrong, as if it wasn't supposed to happen like this.” Twilight replied lowering her head in shame.

Trixie gave a heavy sigh at this. It was supposed to happen like this. She knew this. She didn't know why, but for some reason something within her knew that if her and Twilight were to become a couple it would spell disaster for her and Rainbow Dash. Yet she didn't know why. It was as if something within the unicorn was guiding her by the hoof to make sure she seemingly didn't repeat the events of something that happened.

It's not like she knew exactly why she yanked away at the last second, or why she resisted Twilight's advances on her. Or how she even knew about Twilight and Rainbow Dash's relationship. It was as if that same unknown thing inside her was giving her the information she needed at the time it was needed. She also felt a love for the unicorn that she couldn't explain. A love that seemed to have been there all along.

This same love seemed to be the source of that unknown thing within her that guided her by the hoof. “Tw-Twilight. I feel the same way, but trust me when I say this, we can't get involved with one another. I can't explain why, I just know it will caused problems for you and Rainbow Dash.” Trixie replied in a soft tone as she looked at her now.

“How could you possibly know this? The reason for our break is to explore other options. We don't know right now if we are meant to be.” Twilight replied as she walked up to Trixie now and put a hoof on her cheek.

“Tw-Twilight...please don't tempt me...” Trixie replied in a soft tone as Twilight's face drew in closer and closer with each passing moment yet Trixie didn't yank away, it was if she couldn't. The mysterious feeling that was guiding her by the hoof now had mysteriously vanished as quickly as it appeared but the love still remained. In the next moment Twilight had locked lips with the blue unicorn and without any farther thought to either mind they began to make love in the middle of Twilight's front room.

Whether it was simply fate or the work of a greater power, the events that Trixie had attempted to undo repeated themselves several things however were different...

ONE YEAR AND TWO MONTHS LATER....

Fluttershy walked into Rainbow Dash's hospital room and gasped at the sight that beheld her feeling her heart swell with joy. “Rainbow Dash! Your awake! Thank Celestia!” Fluttershy exclaimed happily at which point Twilight's head snapped up and she looked at the cyan blue Pegasus.

“Dashy, your awake! I never gave up on you!” Twilight exclaimed happily as she locked lips with the Pegasus who gladly returned the kiss but winced into the kiss slightly as Twilight ran her hooves down the Pegasus's back and hit her wings which were still in casts. “Oh, I'm sorry!” Twilight exclaimed in a worried tone.

“It's fine Twilight.” Rainbow Dash replied with a soft giggle then glanced over and noticed Trixie sitting in the far left of the room.

“Take care of her Rainbow Dash. She's all yours now.” Trixie said with a smile and vanished.

“Did you two see that?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously.

“See what?” Twilight asked curiously.

“Trixie, in the corner over there, she just vanished like a ghost!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed unable to figure out why the other two hadn't heard or seen her.

“Rainbow....Trixie was banished to the moon four months ago when the power of her book corrupted her mind.” Twilight remarked as her ears flattened in sadness.

“Book? What book?” Rainbow Dash asked curiously.

“The little green book that Spike used a couple years ago, it turned out to be Trixie who made it. I tried to convince her to destroy it but she refused. Then Princess Celestia stepped in.” Twilight replied followed by a sigh.

“It was weird though. Celestia didn't do anything right away. It was almost as if she knew something we didn't.” Fluttershy remarked thoughtfully.

Meanwhile on the moon a blue unicorn stood alone as the the cold brushed against her fur while she stared at a little green book that was currently set ablaze. “It is done...take care of her Rainbow Dash. You are after all, the one she truly loves.” Trixie said as she looked at the world from the moon with a single tear streaming down her cheek.

FLASHBACK:

“Because what we had wasn't a lie, it was real for me too.” Twilight replied as she felt a ping of sadness in her chest she knew all too well. It was this exact feeling that caused her to feel torn between Trixie and Rainbow Dash.

“Y-You're just saying that!” Trixie exclaimed in a disbelieving tone.

“No! I'm done lying! I'm through with lying to myself! I love you Trixie! So please, destroy it! Be the mare I love again!” Twilight exclaimed in a desperate tone. She would have done destroyed the book herself but she knew she didn't have the strength to do so right now, so all she could do was hope and pray that Trixie would see reason.

Trixie looked to Twilight, then back to the book, back to Twilight, then back to the book, and gave a sigh. “I'm Sorry Twilight, but I can't do that. I won't give up this power until I have done what should have been done already!” Trixie replied and began to laugh maniacally.

It was at this point and time that Princess Celestia appeared in the room in a flash of magic. “Trixie, You used forbidden magicks to create that book as stated in our unicorn laws, by all accounts that is grounds for banishment to the moon as my sister was for using such magicks.” Celestia said in a stern tone much to Twilight's horror.

“Are you sure this is what you want?”

“Yes, it is the only way.”

“Very well, I wish there was some other way though.”

“So do I...”

“You truly love her with all your heart, don't you?”

“Yes, I do. If this is what it takes for her to be truly happy, then so be it.

“-sigh- All this time, I thought Twilight was one of a kind, but you share her kindred spirit Trixie. Your sacrifice for my student will never be forgotten and in one thousand years you will be welcomed back an honored guest in my castle.”

“I'll see you when the time comes then Princess.”

With a mighty cry and unknown to Twilight a single tear that streaked down the Alicorn's cheek she shot a beam of magic at Trixie which hit her in a flash of magic and in the next moment she was gone...

END FLASHBACK

“Sadly Princess, I don't think I will be able to make it a thousand years...” Trixie said aloud thoughtfully as the book burned into ash by her magical flames knowing it was the key to magic and it was now gone and in turn her immortality along with it.

I don't know how long it will take...but I can leave this world now knowing that the mare I love is with the one she is truly meant to be with. I will never forget you Twilight Sparkle and everything you have done for me...
