*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
"Uuuuuuuuhhhh." Where am I, what's that noise, why is it so bright? Trixie thought to herself.
Trixie lifted her a bit to try and look around at where she was, although feeling a bit disoriented after waking up she quickly put her head back down to quell the the dizziness that had come to her as she tried to look around.
After a few more minutes of being awake she tried again to look around with better results than last time. From here spot on the bed she could make out the heart monitor that was set up next to her bed to her right. Oh so that's what that sound was...wait, I'm in the hospital, but what am I......*gasp* wait Twilight, I remember I was at her house and...and I was in her doorway and then I collapsed; I guess she brought me here.
Trixie looked around some more until her eyes came to rest upon the sleeping figures of Spike and Twilight sleeping side by side in a couple of chairs that where in the room.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh....mmmm, Spike...,wake up Spike we have to check up on *gasp* Trixie! Your awake!
"Hmmmm wha, whazzat Twi?"
"Spike get a letter to the princess,let her know that Trixie is awake!"
"Wha...yea... sure thin' Twi." Of course what he meant to say was yeah sure thing Twi, but he was still groggy from waking up.
Twilight quickly brought a chair over to Trixie's bedside and sat down. " So how are you feeling Trixie?"
"I." Trixie couldn't even get a single word out other than that since her throat was dry and began to cough.
"Here you go, drink this."
Trixie greedily gulps down the glass of water and give it back to Twilight completely empty. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Twilight just sat there wondering what Trixie was doing back in Ponyville and why she was in such bad shape when she answered the door.
"Uuuummm"
That snapped Twilight out of her thoughts and made her look back at Trixie.
"D-did you bring me here?"
"Actually it was Spike that brought you here I uhh, I was kinda busy running to the hospital and panicking haha."
"Wait, you were panicking about me, but why?"
"Because, I wanted to make sure you were alright, nobody had seen you since that whole incident with the amulet."
Trixie visibly cringed at the mention of that horrible moment. "Well I thought you would just leave me out there to suffer what ever fate would throw at me."
Twilight's eyes went wide with surprise at what Trixie said "Why would you think that, I could never let anything happen to somepony who didn't do anything to deserve that kind of cruelty."
"S-s-so you're n-not mad still about all the horrible things that I did to you and all of your friends?"
Twilight was really caught of guard with that question. I mean sure she might have been boasting when she first came by but the whole Ursa Minor incident was Snips and Snails's fault, they went to get the Ursa for Trixie to banish it when she really couldn't and she also got her home destroyed in that scuffle, then there was the time with the amulet, but the amulet caused her to want more than just revenge for supposedly humiliating her the first time around but after that she apologized to us all, has this really been eating her up inside all this time? Twilight was looked of in some other direction almost forgetting that she wasn't alone in the room.
Trixie was just staring at Twilight while she thought and then she started to get worried when she turned her head away from her, of-course she had no idea it was just subconscious of her to move her head, still Trixie started to get teary just thinking about what Twilight would say to her.
Stuttering from almost crying Trixie looked up at Twilight. "S-s-so y-you're still m-mad at m-." Twilight cut her off.
"No Trixie."
Trixie just stopped shaking altogether but she was still teary.
"No I am not mad at you, in fact I'm actually surprised you'd think that I or one of my friends would hold a grudge against you, besides you didn't bring the Ursa to town Snips and Snails did, and the amulet twisted your mind and turned you cruel and evil, so, no Trixie I'm not mad at you."
Trixie was teary eyed still but this time is was from happiness instead of sadness. "S-so you truly aren't mad at me then, even after all that's happened?"
Twilight just looked at her and gave her a sincere smile and nodded her head. "Of course not Trixie, of course not, everypony deserves a second chance."
Just as Twilight finished speaking the door to the room opened and in walked Spike and the rest of the girls in tow. "Girls it's so good you came, but how did you know that we were here?"
"Well sugarcube when Spike was a runnin' through town Rarity said she stopped him and spoke to him, and she told us that he told her that Trixie had came back to town but was in the hospital so when she found me I done told her we should gather up the girls and meet up here with Spike.
"Hmm, okay, Spike did you send that letter?"
"Huh, oh, yeah I did Twi, just like you asked."
"So, Twilight, I'm a might curious as tah what exactly happen' to put Trixie in the hospital?"
Twilight was about to answer when Spike spoke up. "Well that's the thing we don't really know, we just found her propped up against the door frame and she looked like she hadn't eaten in days or really slept for that matter."
Everypony in the room looked at Trixie. "I-I haven't eaten in three days."
Everypony and dragon in the room let out a gasp at the bit of information.
"But why darling, how come you haven't eaten in so long?"
Trixie seemed to shrink down and try and cover more of herself with the blankets with everypony's eyes on her. "Well it's hard to eat when all you have is the clothes on your back and nothing else."
"O-o-ohh b-but how come you haven't found anything to eat in so long, i-if you don't mind me asking that is?"
"Well when you're not familiar with the plants and berries that are edible out there and I'd rather not take any chances."
Most of the girls nodded understanding what she meant. Now it was Rainbow dash's turn at a question. "But why did you look so bad when they brought you in.....wait! I didn't mean it like that I-I mean, you know, why were you all busted up?"
"Well when you live in the forest there's bound to be some dangers besides the animals that live in there there are some plants that have thorns, I've also had a few close encounters with the creatures of the forest."
Twilight looked really sad by what Trixie said. "Wow I-I didn't...we didn't know you were living like this I'm-we're so sorry."
Spike was racking his brain for a way to help Trixie when he finally thought of something. "Hey, Trixie!"
Everypony looked at Spike waiting for him to speak again. "You can stay with my and Twilight at the library if you want."
Trixie was surprised by how quick he was to offer something like that. "I-I-I don't know what to say I-I...thank you, really all of you thank you, and I know I already apologized to Twilight for all that I had done in the past but I feel like I have to apologize to all of you as well for my past actions I'm truly sorry, I never meant for any of it to happen, and after I left other towns had heard of what I had done so they shunned me."
As Trixie was re-telling her story she began to cry again. "I-I could barely get shelter most nights and I got food when I could b-but sometimes I went whole days without food I just...I-I" Trixie couldn't take it anymore and began sobbing, Fluttershy and Rarity were crying along with her, Pinkie's hair had gone straight and was teary eyed, both Rainbow dash and Applejack had a look of pity on there faces and as much as they wouldn't admit it there just a hairs breath away from crying as well, Twilight turned to Spike only to see him looking at her the same way and know what they had to do.
Trixie was crying and shaking from her recollection until she felt something holding her and she opened her eyes long enough to gasp at what was happening. She was being hugged by Spike and Twilight and the rest of the mares in the room.
"Wha-what's going on?"
"Trixie you're our Friend darling, and you looked like you really could use a hug." Said the fashionista
"That's right Trixie so get used to it because it's bound to happen a lot." said Twilight.
Trixie felt as if her heart might explode from how happy she felt at that moment. "T-thank you I-I don't know what to say but thank you."
While the seven mares and drake were hugging the doctor decided to pop in. "Good morning Miss Lulamoon how are you...oh I'm terribly sorry am I interrupting something?"
All the mares jumped slightly at the sudden arrival of somepony in the room whom they didn't hear enter more-so Spike, Rainbow, Fluttershy and Twilight since they had blushes on there faces Spike for being caught in the middle of a 8 way hug involving 7 mares and the mares for them having there behinds up in the air the way they did while hugging Trixie.
Twilight recomposes herself enough to speak. "Oh! Doctor how are you? Are you here to tell us when Trixie will be released?"
"Ahh, yes, that and I came to check up on her as well." said the doctor as he started going over something in his clipboard and looked up to see the mares and drake giving a nod as if to say continue.
"Ho-k then, well Miss Lulamoon so far you seem to be doing fine, you have made a good recovery after your friends here brought you in yesterday so you won't be needing that I.V. any longer, I'll just have a nurse come by in a bit to remove it, also we think you would be able to leave tomorrow since we'd like to keep you here for one more day just to be safe...oh! I'm sure you're feeling hungry so I'll also have the nurse bring by some food for you as well."
Trixie brightened up at the prospect of food and looked like she would cry again from seeing food again.
"That being said you're perfectly healthy, just make sure to eat and drink plenty and you'll get your strength back in no time."
With that Twilight turned to the doctor and thanked him for his time as he departed.
"Well you girls heard him let's give Trixie some time alone, oh..and Trixie?"
"Hmm"
"Me and Spike will come by tomorrow to take you to our home, okay?
"Okay, thank you, and again, thank you all for forgiving me."
"Don'chu worry none Trixie, after what ya wen' through ya deserve some good friends to look after ya an' don' fur'get that if'n you ever need help you can always ask one o' us for help."
"Yupperoni! We're gonna throw you the most bestest, most spectaculeriffic 'welcome back to Ponyville' party EVER!"
"Alright settle down Pinkie darling, and also, Trixie dear when you get settled in tomorrow be sure to give me a visit, I would certainly be happy to make you some clothes for you, and don't worry about paying for it, it wouldn't be fair to charge a friend and especially since you look like you might be in for a new wardrobe after being in one set of clothes for so long, and in a forest no less."
The other girls and Spike all roll there eyes at Rarity's comment about the forest since they all know how much she hates to get dirty.
"Thank you Rarity I'll be sure to drop by sometime tomorrow."
After that the mares and dragon begin to file out of the room after saying their respective goodbyes, and for once Trixie felt happy again, not the fake smiles she would have put on during one of her previous shows but a genuine smile after being sad for so long and depressed.
"I think I'm going to like coming back here after all."
With that Trixie decided to take a nap and just wait for tomorrow to come since she had a feeling that she might be busy if her new friend Pinkie was going to make her return a big deal, she may as well get as much sleep as she can now considering she might not get much tomorrow night with what the pink party pony might have in mind.
Right so this is where the human tag comes in it'll be like every other HiE story that has a single human involved, gets sucked into Equestria by accident but everyone is accepting of what he is.
Trixie was at the front desk filling out the paperwork to have her released from the hospital with Twilight and Spike sitting behind her and waiting for her. "Okay Miss Lulamoon now just sign here, and here and you're done, have a pleasant day."
"*Sigh* Finally, thank you I'm just glad to be out of the hospital now."
"No problem miss, just remember the doctors orders though."
"Yes I know, nothing strenuous for a while, believe me when I tell you that I won't be doing anything of the sorts."
The nurse nods her head and goes back to doing her work as Trixie turns around and starts to walk towards her friends. "Huh friends...it's been so long since I had any friends, well I'm going to enjoy it." Trixie thought to herself as she walked over to them. "Well, that's that, I'm finally free." she said with a smile.
"Ooooohh I just know you'll like it back here in Ponyville Trixie, so shall we get going because I know you must be hungry for something that isn't hospital food."
Before Trixie could respond her stomach growled causing her to blush.*Grrrrrrrrrr* "Aaahehehe, I might be a little hungry."
Twilight brought a hand up to her mouth to stifle a giggle only for her stomach to growl as well. *Grrrrrrrrr* "Ah,uhh, haha I might have skipped breakfast this morning." Now Twilight was sporting an equally sized blush.
"Ugh, come on Twi, I'm hungry too ya'know, it is one in the afternoon already anyway."
"Alright then let's get moving then! Rarity will want to see you as well since she said she wanted to make you some new clothes."
Just as they walked through the exit Trixie froze mid-step. "Uhh...uhhh...uhhh.....Twilight, why do you have wings?" Trixie's brain at the moment we busy re-booting after it blow up from seeing Twilight with wings.
"Uhhhh, Twilight, did you ever tell her about-"
"*Gasp* Oh my gosh I totally forgot, but I thought she would have seen them when we were all in her room yesterday."
"Yeah, no, I don't think she saw since no one turned around yesterday and she didn't hug us back since she couldn't and when we left the room her head was already turned around and facing the window."
"Ohhh, right, ummm so Trixie, I might be an Alicorn now heheheh uhhhh, Trixie you alright?"
"Alright...alright...I don't know...are you a princess now?" Trixie's brain had finally started to work again but she was still in a state of shock.
"Ohh, uhh yeah I am, but I don't actually do anything yet I'm still in charge of the library here in Ponyville so uhh yeah."
"Soooo, ummm, wow"
"Yeah, haha that's kind of what I said when I saw my wings for the first time."
"When did this happen, you know the whole Alicorn thing and you becoming a princess."
"Ohh, well let's see I think it was around six months ago, but it's quite the story so I'll tell you on the way to the diner."
"Okay, lead the way."
So Twilight told Trixie about how she accidentally changes all of her friends cutie marks and how she had to run around town all day and fix her mistake since all of her friends where doing the others jobs, or at least trying to as best they could. Trixie found it funny that Rainbow dash was trying to take care of Fluttershy's animals and was failing miserably but she never made fun of her just the fact that it must have been funny to run into a mess like that when they opened the door. Then Twilight kept telling her about her other friends, how Princess Celestia brought her to some weird place and watched some of her old memories and how she turned her into an Alicorn.
"Wow, that's really something, so you're really a princess now I didn't even know since I never really was able to hear from anypony else."
"Yup! Oh look we're here already!"
They then proceeded in sitting down at the tables outside the diner and waited for the waiter to come out and give them their menu's and continued to talk until then, mostly asking how Spike grew up so much in just six months.
"Oh well since Spike is a dragon he ages quite differently than a normal pony would."
Trixie remembered seeing him all those months ago and he was still a small little dragon barely came up to Twilight's midsection and now he was even a little bit taller than both Twilight and Trixie, considering that both Twilight and her were around 5'6" and Spike was now at an impressive 5'10".
"Ya well it was kinda weird for me that morning that I grew a lot, I thought Twilight here was going to have a panic attack."
"It wasn't that funny Spike, I was seriously scared, I didn't see you hoarding the past day but you were, well, you were huge!"
"Well that's kind of what happens when you go through puberty so it's normal to get bigger Twilight, or were you looking somewhere else at the time?" Spike wiggled his eyebrows at Twilight.
Twilight was having trouble comprehending what Spike had said until she turned to look at Trixie and see her blushing and trying very hard not to laugh out loud and only then did it occur to her what Spike meant with the comment.
"S-s-s-spike I-I-I w-wasn't l-l-looking there I-I uhh..umm..uhh...duhhh." Twilight was blushing very heavily and Trixie and Spike were at this point laughing so hard that they both were holding their sides and laughing at the lavender Alicorn's expense.
"T-t-twilight I-I *snort* I I'm sorry b-but when spike started *snrk* laughing I couldn't hold it in anymore HAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Trixie was now flailing her legs from laughing again while Spike was finally calming down now.
"Haha whew, umm *ahem* uhh yeah sorry bout' that Twi, just, well I thought that Trixie could use a good laugh."
"Yeah, well, hardy har har Spike, I'll get you back for that one sooner or later *sigh* anyway Trixie now that you've laughed at my embarrassment how about we finally get some food, since here comes the waiter." Right on queue the waiter arrives holding some menu's and a platter with glasses of water on it.
"Good afternoon, here are you're menu's, I will be back shortly to take your orders."
"Thank you" The waiter walked away and then the two mare's and drake started to look over their menus.
"Umm, I think I know what I'm going to get."
"Lemme guess Twi, It's a Daisy Sandwich?"
"No!"
Both Trixie and Spike just look at Twilight with a look on their faces say "Really?"
"....Okay, fine I am, is there something wrong with getting something simple, just because I'm a princess doesn't mean i have to get all fancy with what I order!"
"No, it's fine, it's just that I thought you would have ordered something else maybe, I mean couldn't you just make a daisy sandwich at home instead, and how come that waiter didn't bow and call you princess?"
"Well Trixie, after being a princess for six months and telling everypony that they don't have to bow to me everywhere they see me or every time they run into me kind of changes that."
"Ohh, okay then, but I mean it must be nice when when you get special service sometimes right, I mean it can't be all that bad?"
"Well, yes your right the spa ponies Aloe and Lotus are one of the few who actually still want to treat me like a princess even though I told them they don't have to, but yes it is nice, they even had a private room built a month later for the princesses and I for when we decide to go there to just relax and when I go they allow me to bring in as many guests as I back there."
"Wow Sparkle, sounds you have it made now huh?"
"Well I mean it's nice sometimes especially when your exhausted and just want nothing more than to just relax and have some peace and quite, so yes I guess it isn't really so bad."
As Twilight finished the waiter came back out with a pad and pencil ready to take there orders.
"So what will the princess and her friends like today?"
"Ohh, Silver Platter you know you don't have to address me formally I've already told you before and I would like a simple daisy sandwich with a side of hayfries."
"Of course Miss Twilight, one daisy sandwich and a side order of hayfries, and for you miss?"
"Oh I'll have the linguine fettuccine alfredo"
"Alright, and for the young drake?"
"Hmmmm, actually you know what I'll just have the same thing she's havin'." Spike just points at Trixie.
"Okay I'll have those out in few minutes, I'll take your menus."
They continue to talk until the waiter comes back with their food about other things that have happened around Ponyville.
"So her cat just scratched you on your-"
"Yes"
"And you had to have a doctor bandage your-"
"Yes"
"..."
"..."
"Ow."
"Yes, very ow."
Spike was smirking while listening to the Twilight's recollection of her day with Opal, Rarity's pet cat.
"So Twi, how exactly did Opal manage to crawl into your shirt and go all the way around and scratch you again?"
"I still don't know, but it might have something to do with me somewhat ignoring her while doing my normal routine."
"So you mean that you just sat down as soon as Rarity dropped her off and red the whole day?"
"...yes"
"Well I think I notice your error Sparkle."
"Really, because I thought I was doing fine, I left her water and her toys and....I forgot to leave her food didn't I?"
"Yup" both Trixie and Spike responded at the same time.
"Yeah, well I couldn't sit right for a week or so, I had to use one of those inflatable doughnut things, ugh it was so embarrassing."
After they finished talking the waiter returned with their food and left them to their business. Twilight and Spike were not even half way done eating when they turned and looked at Trixie to ask her if she was enjoying her meal only for them to just sit there in disbelief since Trixie had already finished eating, they both just thought "That was a big plate." and "That was fast.".
"Oh my goodness that was delicious."
"Wow Trix that was pretty fast, I mean it was a big plate of pasta."
"Yes Spike, yes it was, I think I might cry from how good that was, it just feels good to actually have a real meal after so long." She said with a small smile on her face.
"Well Trixie you won't have to worry about that anymore, we'll help you get back on your feet and food in your belly." Twilight said with a small giggle at the end.
"Yes, well anyway, thank you Twilight it really means a lot to me that you and all of your friends are willing to help me."
"It's no trouble at all you're our friend now so it's only right we help you out."
The waiter came out and took their plates away, when he returned to bid them goodbye he told them that it was fine that royalty did not have to pay even though Twilight wanted to, in the end she made him take the bits she owed and they three friends walked off towards Rarity's but stopped as Trixie brought Twilight into a hug.
"Thank you again Twilight."
"Heehee it's no problem Trixie I've already told you that."
"Mmhmm."
With that the three friends headed off to Rarity's boutique meeting a couple of ponies on the way, getting the usual 'good morning's' or 'how are you's?' as they walked. When they got to Rarity's boutique Twilight knocked on the door and almost instantly the door opens hitting Spike in the face.
"Ohh! Hello there darlings how are you do..ing *GASP!* oh my goodness Spike I'm so so sorry, did I hit you with the door!?"
Spike was crouched down holding his face in his claws. "Mmhmm." Was all he could say since he had his face smashed in by a door.
"Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, umm please come inside you three, Spike come with me to the kitchen if you would."
While Rarity led her drakefriend into the kitchen to examine his face for injuries Trixie and Twillight went and sat down on the couch in the middle of the room.
"I'm so sorry sweetheart."
"Naw, it's totally cool Rarity I probably shouldn't have been so close to the door anyway."
"Well regardless I must remember to get that door changed so that is swings inwards and not outwards, oh right Trixie you're here to get your measurements for some new clothes darling."
"Yes, and thank you Rarity, I'll pay you back as soon as I can."
"Nonsense dear you shouldn't have to pay a friend for something that she wants to do for you, I'll gladly make you a new set of clothes free of charge."
"Thank you Rarity, just thank you."
"Oh stop it, think nothing of it dear, now if you would kindly step up here please and undress to your undergarments."
Trixie broke out into a full on blush at the prospect of getting undressed in front of the two mares and dragon.
"OH! Spike would be a dear and-"
"Ah, I know when I shouldn't be around, I'll just be in the kitchen if you need me."
"Thank you dear."
Just as Spike turned the corner and walked into the kitchen Rarity turned back to Trixie and asked her to strip again so she could take the measurements. Trixie still felt a little nervous and a little bit self conscious about how she looked at the moment but still did as instructed.
Rarity hesitated a bit after seeing here so skinny and almost got a bit teary eyed just imagining the hardship she went through.
"Well, you can always bring back your clothes for adjustments when ever you need them dear."
"Ummm, okay."
It was clear that she was a bit uncomfortable with being exposed like this so Rarity hurried up with taking the measurements.
"Alright dear all done, you can put your clothes back on now and spike you can come back in now."
Trixie went behind one of the changing screens that were littered around the store as Spike walked back in. A few seconds later Trixie stepped back out from behind the screen.
"Darling I'll have a pair of clothes ready for you a a few minutes so you don't have to walk around in those old things."
Trixie simply nodded and turned around to look at Twilight.
"So Twilight how has-"
Trixie didn't get the rest of her sentence out before a certain pink party pony popped out of nowhere and scared both Twilight and Trixie right off the couch.
"HIIIIIII GUYS!!!"
"AHHHHHH!!"
"AHHHHHH!!"
Both of them were grabbing there chests and breathing heavy trying to calm their hearts from jumping out of their bodies.
"P-p-pinkie what was that for!?"
"Oh silly I was just going around and handing out invitations for Trixie's welcome back party and you'd be surprised to know how many ponies want to welcome here back."
"W-w-wait the other ponies want to welcome ME back...but why?"
"Well duh silly filly I told them how you were treated so badly for so long and they wanted to make you feel welcome, also they actually wanted to let you know that don't blame you for anything that happened since both those times you-"
Trixie cut her off by catching her in hug and saying thank you over and over again.
"Awww it's okay Trixie like I said everypony want s to make you feel welcome here so be at sugercube corner at six o' clock, don't be late!"
Leaving the two slightly still shocked mares on the floor Pinkie bounded out the door of Rarity's boutique to finish delivering the invitations and get the party ready for that night.
"Ohhhh! That reminds me mister author I have to get some of those Oreo thingies they sound good!"
"Umm Pinkie darling how are you talking too?"
"Duhh, the author silly!"
"The who?"
"No not the doctor, the author, well I have to go and get the rest of these invitations out and get this party ready bye girls!"
"Ummm."
"Yeah, Trixie, you'll liable to live longer if you don't try and figure out how Pinkie's brain works, trust me I know from experience."
"She's a good friend but I always wonder what goes on it that head of her's sometimes darling; but yes it's best you just let it be if you care for your mental well-being, ohh and also your clothes are done Trixie, here you go."
Trixie took the new set of clothes from Rarity's hands and walked behind the changing screen again to change into her new clothes and get out of her old ones.
"Wow, it feels nice to have a change of clothes for once...wait are..these underwear?" Trixie whispered to herself and blushed slightly since she knew that Rarity must have made them for her along with her new clothes. After Trixie finished getting re-dressed she stepped back out from behind the screen and came back to sit down. Trixie was wearing a simple dark blue v-neck t-shirt and blue jeans.
"Umm, I kind of don't have another pair of shoes and I'd rather not put the others on again if I don't have to since they hurt after wearing them for so long and they are worn down."
"Ohh, iiiideeeeaaaa! Wait right here Trixie darling I'll be just a moment."
Rarity comes back down the stairs from her bedroom no less than 30 seconds after she left with a shoebox in her hands.
"Here you are Trixie, these were a gift from Sweetie belle but they are not my size so I thought you should have them since I won't be wearing them anytime soon, and before you ask Sweetie belle understands that I might have ended up giving them to someone else who needed them more than I; she'll understand and plus I explained it to her when she gave them to me that they didn't fit and told me to give them to someone who needs them more with a smile on her face."
"Thank you Rarity and thank your sister for me would you?"
"Of course darling, now get along you probably want to get to Twilight's to rest a bit before tonight I bet."
Rarity handed Trixie a bag with her old clothes in it and Twilight, Spike and Trixie left and headed towards the library in which Trixie would be living in for until she could find a place of her own. They walk for a bit until they get to Twilight's home and walk into the treebrary.
"Heehee, hey i said the same thing Mr. Author!"
Trixie, Twilight and Spike all whirl around on the spot to find the source of Pinkie's voice; not being able to find it they all just continue on into the the home of the lavender Alicorn, Spike walks upstairs to his bedroom to go and check to see if any scales got messed up when he took that door to his face at Rarity's, while Twilight brought Trixie to her bedroom which had a second bed in there.
"You can use Spike's old bed, it should be big enough since it's the same size as mine."
"Thank you...ummm by the way why do you still have another bed in your room if Spike isn't in your room anymore if you don't mind be asking?"
"Well sometimes I look at it and remember the times that Spike was still little and well I guess it just holds a lot of good memories."
"Oh, I see, well thank you."
Trixie walked over to the bed and sat down and quickly threw herself back and snuggle into the bed sheets; it had been far to long since Trixie had felt and even slept on a bed at home she was thoroughly enjoying the sensation of bedsheets against her fur.Twilight was about to say something but stopped when she heard a small sniffle coming from the other bed.
*Sniff*
"Hey Trixie are you alright?"
Trixie lifted her head up and looked at Twilight with tears streaming down her face and a very big smile on her face with the occasional sniffle.
"Twilight, you don't know how much this means to me."
Twilight just walked over to Trixie's bed and sat down to which Trixie responded to by hugging her; Twilight hugged her back. "Trixie I told you I wanted to help you and so did all of my friends, and we meant it." Trixie had her face buried in the crook of Twilight's neck she was still crying but she wasn't sad; she was happy. happy to finally have real friends that actually cared for her.
"*Sniff* Okay, thank you, ummm I'm going to go wash my face and get these tear marks out of my face."
Trixie got up off the bed and began to walk away only to stop and realize she didn't know where the bathroom was.
"Uhhh."
"Out the door and to your right."
"Thank you."
Now that she knew where the bathroom was she walked over to it and opened the door and opened it without knocking, needless to say it quickly got awkward since Spike was just getting out of the shower and was completely naked.
"Uhhhh...ummm...duhhh." Spike's brain just melted because Trixie had just seen him naked and the only other ponies that had seen him naked before was Twilight and that was when he was just grown up from his growth spurt and Rarity for various reasons that won't be named.
Trixie's brain had finally caught up to her as did Spike's since he went to grab a towel off the rack to cover himself. "I'm so sorry, I'll just leave!"
Trixie slammed the door shut and put her back to the wall to calm her fast beating heart from the scene that just happened no more than a few seconds ago, "Stupid, stupid, stupid, I should have knocked first, I really hope it doesn't get awkward between us now." While Trixie was thinking to herself she heard the door to the bathroom open and watched as Spike walked out.
"Uhhh the bathroom is all yours and before you say anything it's kinda my fault since I forgot to lock the door after I got in." Spike just rubbed his neck since he thought he probably made Trixie's first day very awkward.
"Uhh...well umm okay thanks, uhh it's not awkward between us is it?"
"No, no it's was uhh, it was my fault don't worry about it, it was just an accident so let's just forget about it."
"Okay then uhhh, I'm just going to uhhh."
"Yeah, you go ahead and go in."
"Good thing that didn't get awkward." The both thought as they went about their own business.
"Hey, Spike, was that the bathroom door slamming shut?"
"Uhhh."
"Your forgot to lock it again didn't you?" Twilight said with a smirk on her face.
"Maybe."
"So she saw your little Spike?" Twilight was now trying very hard not to laugh while Spike's face just achieved a new level of embarrassment since his face was almost comically red.
"W-w-well uhhh I uhh...Yeah." That was the final straw that broke the camels back and Twilight could contain her laughter no longer, she was cracking up to the point that she was clutching her sides, It was that moment that Trixie walked into the room and saw Twilight rolling around on her bed laughing her head off and saw Spike in the room with his face all red; Trixie just put two and two together and started to chuckle as well until she was at the same level of laughter as Twilight was until she was doubled over from laughter.
"Ugh, it's not that funny."
Twilight and Trixie had finally calmed down enough to utter properly speak. "Well I did tell you I would get you back some how and getting you to make that embarrassed face was payback enough for that little stunt back at the diner heehee."
"It's seem that the new princess isn't as uptight as I thought."
"Well you learn how to joke around after you spend enough time around the five ponies I do everyday."
"True, I think I like this Twilight better than an uptight one."
"Hey Twilight?"
"Hmm, yes Spike?"
"We were supposed to be at sugarcube corner at six right?"
"Yes, why?"
"Because it's five thirty now."
"*Gasp* OH MY GOSH WE"RE GOING TO BE LATE!"
Twilight ran to her dresser and grabbed some new clothes but stops when she remembers that there is another pony and dragon in the room.
"Uhhh right sorry, I'll just use the bathroom."
While Twilight ran to the bathroom to get changed Spike and Trixie both went downstairs to wait for her to come down.
"OKAY I'M READY LET'S GO BEFORE WE'RE LATE!"
"Okay Twi, we've been ready, just waiting for ya."
All there of them walk out the door and Wait for Twilight to lock up the house before they make their way to the party.
"I'll just teleport us there."
"Wait Twilight I've never-"
But Trixie was cut off as Twilight teleported them right in front of sugarcube corner.
"Hey Spike where's Trix-"
*Bleargh!"
Trixie currently had her head in a trashcan vomiting from the experience of teleporting for the first time.
"S-sorry Trixie I didn't know you weren't used to teleporting." Twilight said with a sheepish smile.
"Ugh...uhhh yes well hopefully it gets better after the first time because I really don't want to throw-up every time I teleport, since I would actually like to learn how to do that."
"I does get better...sooo uhhh we should go inside now."
"Alright then, lets."
Trixie walked through the front door of the shop and was a little confused as to why it was so dark and quiet but quickly found out after a very loud "SURPRISE!".
"Aaaaahhhh!" Trixie stumbled back into Spike and Twilight almost knocking them down the steps.
"Wereyousurprisedhuhhuhwereyawereyahmmmm!?"
"Uhhhh whaaa?"
"Haha I think that's a yes Pinks." Spike was chuckling a bit at Trixie's reaction.
"Well don't just stand there you silly filly come on in everypony's waiting for ya."
The four of them walked inside and were greet by a sea of friendly faces; out of all the faces she noticed those of the rest of the element bearers.
"Hey girls!" Twilight walked over and hugged her friends.
"Spike, darling!"
Spike quickly closed the distance between him and Rarity and caught her in a quick kiss. Both Rainbow and AJ were giving him a look that said "Wait for until after the party you two" and Fluttershy was smiling warmly at them clearly very happy for them since Spike had waited for so long to get together with Rarity.
"Awww-yeah now that everypony's here now we can really party come girls let's go dance!"
Fluttershy walked to the refreshment's table and got herself a sarsaparilla and went over to an empty table to watch her friends dance and Trixie was dragged onto the dance floor by Twilight to dance with the rest of her friends. Spike and Rarity were dancing close to each other and RD and AJ were going at it trying to see who could get the most ponies to cheer on their dancing. Pinkie was literally bouncing around making sure everypony was having a good time.
Just then the DJ came on the mic "Alright everypony I think it's time to start turning the beat up and my friend DJ-PON3 is here to help me out!"
"YYEEEEAAAAHHHH!! Let's spin this up!" As soon as she said that the other DJ started the next song.
While the ponies were getting into the new song that was now thumping out of the speakers Trixie was wondering who the weird looking being at the DJ booth was and decided to ask Twilight about it.
"Hey Twilight!?"
"Yes!?"
"Who is that up there with the other pony!?"
"Ohhh! I forgot about that, sorry let's go somewhere more quiet so we can talk better!"
They walked over to an empty booth and sat down. "So who is he...It is a he right?"
"Yes Trixie he's a male and as for what he is, he is a human that was brought over from his world to ours about the same time that I became an Alicorn."
"So he's an alien?"
"Technically yes but he's just like us except for the fact that he doesn't have fur like us and he has no tail, doesn't have a cutie mark since humans don't get them and he has no tail and he doesn't have a muzzle like we do."
"Right and his ears seem to be on the sides of his head instead of on top like ours."
"Yup, and he's been living with Vinyl and Octavia for the past six months too."
"Hmm sounds like he's mooching off of them."
"Ohh no, not him, he has a job and pays his fair share of the bills since they share the cost of their living expenses so he's not mooching off of them."
"Okay, I'll take your word for it."
"Hey I'm going to get something to drink, do you want anything?"
"I'll have some apple cider non-alcoholic if you please, I'd rather not get drunk or drink alcohol tonight."
"Okay I'll be right back."
Just ask Twilight left and disappeared through the sea of bodies Pinkie popped up with the human next to her. "Hey Trixie I just thought I'd introduce you to our town's resident human he's really nice."
"Awww thanks Pinks thats sweet of ya."
"Awww now your making me blush."
"Hello there MR.?"
"Vincent and there's no need for the Mr. I'm not that old yet I haven't even hit my mid-twenties yet." He had a big grin as he introduced himself.
"Hello Vincent, my name is Trixie." She shook his hand and asked if he wanted to take a seat, to which he happily agreed too and they both sat at opposite sides and scooted to the innermost part of the booth.
"So your the guest of honor here Miss Trixie?"
"Yes, and you can also forget about the Miss part too."
"Haha okay then Trixie."
"Ahh I hope I'm not to intrusive but I've never seen a being such as yourself."
"Ahhh well you see I am a human so I wouldn't be surprised if you hadn't seen another being like me anywhere in Equestria, and as for why I'm the only one of my kind here it's because I believe that Twilight was trying to see if she could pull a non-harmful object from another world since Celestia and Luna had found another world with Sentient life like this planet and she wanted to study something from that world; my world."
"Really, she pulled you to our world?"
"Yup, she did, although it was a complete accident that she did but thank Luna that she did it when she did because I was in deep trouble when it happened."
"Ohh, why's that?"
"Well, you see I was driving my car; It's a big metal thing kinda like your carriages but it's move by itself with the operator steering it where you want it to go, no need for magic to move it."
"That's really amazing, a self-propelled vehicle!"
"Yup, they're great most of the time."
"Most of the time?"
"Yeah that's where I told ya that it was a good thing I got sucked into your guy's world when I did because my car went over a cliff and it was plummeting to the ground, fast."
"Oh my goodness!"
"Yeah, Someone wasn't paying attention and hit the side of my car and it sent me careening off the cliff-side and to certain death, but as you can see I'm still kicking."
"Yes, you're very lucky that it happened when it did."
"Yeah, I can only assume that the authorities looked for a good while before the pronounced my body missing and me dead."
"But what about your family?"
"Oh right, well you see my parents had passed away about 3 years before and my brother died of kidney failure I think about four years ago and my other relatives live pretty far away from where I lived; I'm pretty sure they were sad about my supposed death but nothing I can really do about that now so I just told myself that I was given another shoot at life and I was gonna do what I loved."
Trixie couldn't believe that his parents and brother had passed away when he was so young still. "I'm so sorry about your parents and your brother."
"Hey it's okay it's not your fault my parents were in their early sixties; kinda young to die if ya ask me but I still remember getting a call one morning from one of my relatives that my parents had both died in their sleep that same night, I thought it was crazy but hey crazy things have happened before to other people, but ya my father had a heart attack in his sleep and my mother just went peacefully around 10 minutes after or so I heard from the mortician, I didn't cry at the funeral believe it or not I gave a short speech about my parents and I proud to have been there son so I didn't see a need to cry. You know my father always told me that even if you go young, if you did everything you ever wanted to do with your life than you lived a full life."
"Your father sounded very wise."
"Yeah he was, he was a good man, and as for my brother when his kidneys failed him he was rushed to the hospital but there was nothing they could do but reduce his suffering so I told them to pull the plug and I watched him smile at me and finally be free from his pain, again another funeral that I didn't cray at since I know he wouldn't want me to cry for him or mourn him; you can't really do anything about an organ failure, that and I just remembered him occasionally telling me that he looked up to me."
"He just sounds like another family member that was taken to soon but you're right I suppose my parents wouldn't want to cry for them either when they pass."
A few seconds pass before Vincent spoke up again.
"Alright enough of this sad stuff, why don't we go party, I mean it is a party after all and Pinkie's parties are the best!"
"So I've heard."
As Vincent and Trixie got up to go to the dance floor Pinkie ran up to them with drinks in her hands.
"Hey you guys there you are, ohh right Vincent here;s your water and Trixie your cider and don't worry it's non-alcoholic."
"Thanks Pinks."
"Thank you Pinkie."
"Well I guess we can sit and talk for a bit more while we drink."
So they sat down and talked a bit more about a few things, like how Vincent worked at Vinyls music shop and how she is messy but how Octavia is messier. Trixie just laughed because she had spoken to her when she had come through the door when the party first started and she seemed like the kind of pony that hated messes. The time seemed to fly by while they talked together to the point that ponies where starting to leave already.
"What time is it?"
"I think it's close to eleven' thirty."
"Oh my goodness, how long have we been talking for?"
"Probably since eight o' clock I think."
"Oh wow I didn't even notice the time until now."
"Yeah, time really flies when you're having fun."
"Indeed it does."
Vincent was about to say something but Vinyl found him and walked over to him.
"Yo Vince!"
"Oh hey, sup Scratch!"
"We gotta start packing up the equipment bro."
"Alright, I'll be there in a sec."
"Alright, don't keep me waiting."
"Alright...*Sigh* looks like I'll be leaving soon."
"Hey! Trixie!"
Trixie turned around to find Twilight calling her.
"We'll be leaving soon, Spike going to Rarity's for the night so it'll be just you and me."
"Alright I'll be there in a second."
"You stayin' with her?"
"Yes, she's putting me up for now until I can find a job and find my own house to live in."
"Yup, sounds like her alright, she did the same thing for me when I first came here until I found Vinyl and Octavia."
"Come on Trixie we should head out now I'm tired and would love nothing more than to just crawl into bed.'
"Okay Twilight coming, Well look like I have to leave now, goodbye Vincent."
"Alright, Goodbye Trixie." With that Vincent pulled Trixie into a hug making her blush slightly, Trixie returned the hug, after a few seconds the let go and went their separate ways after saying goodnight.
"Well Sparkle now I'm one hundred percent positive I'm going to love living here."
"Ohhh, I's it because you meet someone you like?" Twilight didn't have to look to know Trixie was blushing from her comment.
"H-h-how do you know?"
"Well when I looked over again and saw you two hugging, you were blushing."
"W-well he's very handsome I'll give him that and he's very nice."
"Yea he is pretty handsome, but don't worry Trixie you won't have any competition from me he's just a friend to me."
Trixie didn't even respond she was to busy thinking about seeing him again and before she knew it she was in front of Twilight's home. They both just walked inside and went upstairs to get ready for bed. Since Trixie didn't have any pajamas Twilight let her borrow some of hers for the time being and they both climbed into bed after brushing their teeth.
"Goodnight Trixie."
"Goodnight Twilight."
Twilight was asleep almost instantly after resting her head on her pillow while Trixie's mind was still thinking about the hug she shared with Vincent.
"I have to see if I can find him tomorrow and ask him when he's free." Trixie thought to herself before she finally fell asleep.
Job hunting or "job hunting"
The birds were chirping, ponies were shopping, laughing, eating breakfast and going about there business and the sun was up and shining bright, right into Trixie's eyes causing her to groan and shift around in her bed to try and get away from the merciless sun that was trying to disturb her beautiful sleep. Trixie got about 2 more minutes of sleep before she was scared half to death out of her bed.
"Good morning Trixie Breakfast is ready!"
"Aaaaaaahhhhh!"
Trixie got scared so bad that she literally jumped out of her bed and fell on the floor in a heap tangled up in her sheets. Twilight at the door watching the whole event go down giggling at the door. After about a minute Trixie finally managed to get herself untangled from her bedsheets and poked her head up over the side of the bed to look at the one who caused her heart to explode.
"SPARKLE!"
Twilight was still giggling a bit "Yeeeeesss?"
"That wasn't funny, I was still asleep and you bursting through the door scared me half to death." she said with a deadpan look on her face.
"Well I'll be honest I wasn't expecting you to jump and nearly bust through the roof of my house." Twilight said with a mischievous smirk on her face.
"But, like I said breakfast is ready so come down and eat."
"Mmmmm give me like five minutes it's too early."
"It's almost ten thirty already though."
"What? But why did I...oh that's right we came home close to midnight didn't we, oh well I guess I had to wake up at some point, okay I'll be down soon."
Twilight backed out of the room to head back downstairs to the kitchen while Trixie get the clothes he had yesterday and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. As she was bathing she made a mental note to go to Rarity's to see if she had the rest of her clothes done. After a few more minutes in the shower she turned the water off and stepped out to grab a towel and dry off and get dressed. After that she stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom brushing her hair and thinking to herself "I should really find a job, I don't want to mooch of of Twilight. After all she has already given me a place to stay and sleep so the least I could do is help out a bit and pay for what I use.".
After finishing her hair she walked out of the bathroom and made her way downstairs to eat. When she made it downstairs she was surprised at the spread of food on the table. "This is for two ponies?" She thought since it looked like the amount of food looked like it could feed at least five full grown ponies.
"So, this all for us Sparkle?"
"Ummm, well uhhhh I may have made a little too much but I have been learning how to cook from Spike."
"Mmm well at least I know I won't go hungry if you cook like this every morning." She said with a little chuckle at the end.
"Well don't think I'm cooking like this every morning; if I cooked like this all the time we'd run out of food in about three days."
"Right, well instead of just standing here talking why don't we sit down and eat what you made."
Twilight nodded her head and they both walked over to the table and sat down grabbing a plate each and grabbing waffles, pancakes,crepes and anything else that looked good. When they finished making their 'mountains' of food and started to dig in with big smiles on there faces. "This is really good!" Twilight was happy her lessons with Spike were paying off since just a few weeks ago she had tried to make pancakes again and had successfully made her kitchen into a war-zone of pancake batter and other ingredients.
About thirty minutes passed from when they started eating and now they were slumped back in there chairs with there faces now no longer sporting smiles but instead had tired expressions. "I..don't think...I could eat...another bite Sparkle." Twilight just shook her head slowly as if to much movement would make her feel sick. "Y-yeah.. m-me either." So they sat there for another ten minutes to let some of there food digest so they could move again. "Okay I don't think I'm eating for the rest of the day." Twilight began cleaning up the table and putting away what ever food wasn't eaten. ""I know how you feel, the first minute after I finished eating was okay but the the next ten were terrible...but so worth it." She was drooling just remembering the big meal she just had. "Okay Trixie you can close your mouth now, don't wanna catch flies now." Twilight giggled as she caught a glimpse of Trixie realizing she was drooling all over the floor and wiping her face with the back of her hand with a small embarrassed blush on her face.
"Uhhh here let me help you with the dishes."
"Alright, you can dry while I wash."
Trixie dried the dishes with a washcloth and put them on the counter since she didn't know where they went. She decided to tell Twilight about her plans for the day. "Hey Twilight?" Twilight kept her eyes on the dishes she was washing but answered back. "Yes Trixie?"
"I was thinking that if I'm going to be staying here with you than I think it would be a good idea if I got a job to be able to pay for my own things. I wouldn't want to mooch off of you, friends don't do that to each other, especially when that friend is letting them live in their house."
"That sound like a good idea. Having some of your own money to spend would be good and maybe you could use it to go on a date with your new coltfriend."
Trixie didn't know what was redder right now, the plate she had in her hands, or her face. While she tried to calmly place the plate on the counter she turned to look at Twilight with a huge blush on her face. "H-h-h-he's not m-m-my..w-we're n-not even g-going out." Trixie was stammering pretty hard and her blush just grew even more as she tried to get herself out of the awkward situation that Twilight had put her in.
"OH Trixie you know that I'm only teasing...besides I think he liked you too."
Trixie's eyes shot wide open and she turned to face Twilight, her eyes sparkling. "Really! You think so!?"
"Well, he did spend close to three hours with you...alone."
"W-well we did talk for a bit."
"Hehe well what were you two talking about?"
"Anything really, what kind of music he likes, which was really easy to figure out since he is a DJ after all. What he does in his down time when he isn't working at Vinyl's shop or covering a party. Wha-why are you looking at me like that?"
Twilight had a huge grin on her face as she listened to Trixie re-count what her Vincent and her were talking about. "You really like him don't you Trixie?"
Trixie blushed and started fiddling with her mane and looked down to the floor. "*sigh* Yes I do, but what if he doesn't like me like that back?"
Trixie slumped back against the wall of the kitchen and slid down and tucked her head into her knees, the thought of being rejected was messing with Trixie's head. Twilight knelt down next to Trixie and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Trixie you won't know for sure unless you ask him." Trixie had cried a bit so her eyes were a bit red around the edges. "I guess so b-but i just don't know...do you think I should ask him if he wants to do something with me?"
Twilight smiled at Trixie and helped her up back on to her feet. "I think that's a great idea" Twilight gasped lightly at a thought that had just crossed her mind. "Hey Trixie I could be your wingmare!" Trixie just looked at Twilight as if she had just grown a second head. "A....wing...mare?" Twilight rolled her eyes at her. "Yes Trixie, A wingmare, I could help you get Vincent on a date with you." Said Twilight with a grin on her face. "Really, you'd do that for me?" Trixie had a small blush on her face just thinking about going on a date with him. "Of course Trixie, besides I did saw that you too would look cute together didn't I?" Trixie rolled her eyes at her statement of them being together. "You might have mentioned it a few times."
"Well what are we waiting for, let's get ready and go out to find you a place to work!"
"Wow Sparkle you must really want me out of the house huh." Trixie jokingly said, although Twilight wasn't paying to well of attention to what Trixie said.
"Yup now let's..." Twilight realized suddenly what Trixie had said and paled slightly. "I mean no...What I meant was....I mean...uhhh...duhhh?"
Trixie was crying from how hard she was laughing, but she managed to calm herself well enough to make out coherent sentences. "Oh my goodness hehe I was only kidding Sparkle, you can calm down I promise I don't think you're trying to get rid of me."
"I...ummm...yeah okay sure."
"Awww, I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you Twilight." Trixie hugged her and put her head on her shoulder.
"It's okay, I guess I should really pay better attention huh."
"Hmmhmm yes I would think so. Don't want to get into another situation like that again do you?" She said with a smirk on her face.
"I guess not, shall we get ready for our day?"
"Well I've been ready so I'll just wait for you get get dressed."
"Alright, I'll be down in fifteen minutes."
Twilight went upstairs to get ready to take Trixie around town to look for a place to work. Trixie sat down to wait for Twilight to come back downstairs but quickly got bored after just one minute. "Ugggghhhh there has to be something to do around..." It very quickly struck Trixie just where she was living currently. "Duh, library I could have just gotten a book to read while I waited." So she got up walked to the bookshelves and started to look for a book to read, eventually she decided on a romance novel. They had always been her favorite, she never knew why, it could have been because she had never really found somepony to love her like the couples in the novels she red.
About thirty minutes later Twilight came down the stairs frantically apologizing for taking so long to get ready "I'm so sorry Trixie. I was looking for my shirt. I had laid it out yesterday in my dresser along with the rest of my outfit for today and...Trixie?"
Trixie was asleep again on the couch with the book she was reading covering her face. "Hehe ohhhh this is going to be good." Twilight had on a mischievous smile as she slowly crept up on Trixie, just as she was about to poke her sides and yell boo Trixie sprang upright and yelled as loud as she could "GOTCHA!"
Twilight let out a bloodcurdling scream "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" as she flailed about trying to back pedal away from the couch and her failed scare target. Twilight was clutching her chest as if her heart had just exploded from the sheer terror from her scare. Trixie was on the couch laughing so hard she was holding her sides and wiggling around as the laughter shook her body. She looked up only to completely stop laughing and walk over to Twilight noticing she actually had tears in her eyes and was shaking a bit from how bad Trixie had scared her.
"T-twilight are...are you alright?"
Twilight nodded slowly "Y-y-yeah...y-you j-just g-got me r-really g-good t-that's a-all." Stuttering on almost every word.
"Ummm do you want some help getting up?" Trixie offered her had to her and help her up only to have to stop Twilight from falling back down since her legs gave out from underneath her.
"Sorry, My legs just kinda get like jelly when I get really scared is all."
"Ahh, well ok, umm are you sure you're all right, I mean you did kind of scream bloody murder when I jumped up from the couch?"
"Yeah I'm fine, I just need to calm down." Twilight started taking deep breaths to calm her heart that was still beating a mile a minute.
"Well umm maybe we should get going don't you think?"
"Huh oh yeah right, that's right we're looking for a job for you, well come on let's go before you actually scare me to death." Twilight gave her a narrow-eyed stare.
"hehe uhhh, yeah l-let's go then shall we?"
Trixie motioned for the door and the two unicorns walked outside into the morning light to look for a job for Trixie.
"I just hope it's not a waitress job, I'll take anything but a waitress job." Trixie thought to herself.
Thew two then set off to the market place and commence their search.
