*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.
