From Rough Beginnings To Happy Endings
Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterThe day starts like any other day, Princess Celestia's sun has just risen over the small town of Ponyville and it's residents are waking up and going about their morning business. Or it would have been like any other day if not for the the bedraggled unicorn walking into town. This unicorn was Trixie, although she wasn't very great and powerful as she called herself before, in fact if anything she looked like she was on the verge of collapsing. Her mane was a mess full of leaves and twigs, her arms and legs were very scrawny not to mention you could practically see her ribcage from the malnutrition and she had bags under her eyes and they were also bloodshot from lack of sleep.
There weren't many ponies out on the streets yet since it was still only around. Well except for for one lavender Alicorn who was already up and about to start reorganizing the library; which was also her home for the past few years. It was actually quite amazing how this great big tree was a library and home and still lived, it really was amazing what magic could do sometimes.
Twilight was re-shelving books after doing some reorganizing and was almost finished when her assistant Spike called her for breakfast "Twilight!" Yelled Spike from the kitchen even though he was a room away and all he had to do was walk out and tell her that breakfast was ready.
Twilight walked into the dining room with a small smirk on her face "Yes Spike I know I heard you loud and clear." Twilight let out a mirthful giggle that made the young drake blush a bit "Heehee uhh yeah sorry I forgot you were right next to the kitchen when I called."
"It's alright Spike I forget sometimes too, anyway let's eat."
After they finished eating they transported the dishes and the utensils to the sink to be washed later when there was a light knocking at the door. "Huh I thought I put the closed sign up last night before I went to bed?" she said with some wonder of who could be at the door this early because even though she gets up early in the morning she knows that nopony or at least not that many ponies would be out at this time just yet.
"I'm pretty sure ya did Twi I was with ya when you flipped it" When Twilight opened the door the sight that stood before her was something she wasn't expecting to see. What stood before her was a very malnourished Trixie just barely keeping herself up right against the doorframe when she opened it.
"T-twil-light" and that was the only thing that Trixie could get out before her hunger and her fatigue finally caught up to her making her collapse slowly into the arms of a very surprised and equally concerned Alicorn. "Spike!" Twilight yelled even though she know Spike was standing right behind her. "WE have to get her to the hospital. Right! Now!"
Without wasting anytime Spike picked up the Azure mare in his arms and followed Twilight running as fast and as carefully as he could to get the fainted Trixie to the Ponyville hospital the get her some medical attention.
"Hold on Trixie just hold on" was about the only thing that Twilight could think as she and Spike ran to the hospital
