Trixie paused. Here she was, rushing off to the train station, without even thinking of telling Dusky Hex or packing more supplies. She didn't even have enough bits to but a ticket! She turned around and started trotting to her mobile home. It took her five minutes to get there, and she knew that a certain pink mare was throwing a party with another certain unicorn colt. Said unicorn colt's mother huffed in exasperation. It was past Dusky's bedtime, and he knew that. She unlocked the door with the key and opened the door.

Trixie called out from the entryway, "Pinkie, Dusky?" Two heads appeared from the kitchen. Both faces were stuffed with sugary goodies. Pinkie Pie grinned through her mouthful of food, and Dusky Hex knew he had been caught red hoofed.

"What is it, Great and Powerful Trixie?" asked. Pinkie, using her stage name. Trixie blushed a little, Nopony has called her that since she started talking like a normal pony, which was a long time ago.

"Nopony calls me that anymore, Pinkie. Anyways, I came to tell you two that I'm going on a trip to Manehatten. I'll be back in a couple days." replied Trixie. She hoped that she could bring the mystery stallion, if she could find him that is, back to Ponyville with her to meet her son. Anything for her son.

"Mom, can Pinkie come with us?" he asked, making an angelic face.

Trixie shook her head and answered, "Dusky, I'm going alone. Pinkie Pie is going to babysit you. I have to go now, but remember, Mommy will always love you." She gathered the money and left, a small amount of tears escaping her eyes. This would be the first time she has ever left him for more than a day. It's a big step for any mother to take, but with her head held high, the light blue maned mother made her way to the train station. There would be a train leaving for Manehatten soon.

When Trixie got on the train, she knew it would be a whole before she got to her destination, so she decided to sleep for the ride. She would make it there by morning, and would be fully rested. As she slept, Trixie dreamed of meeting the mysterious stallion and taking him home to an overjoyed Dusky. Her family would be whole and everything would be perfect. Trixie knew that she shouldn't feel like that. That stallion RAPED her for Celestia's sake. But something in the back of her mind told her that it wasn't so. That soemthing was missing from the puzzle. No matter how hard she tried to figure it out, she couldn't. Hours passed as she slipped between concious and unconscious. When the whistle snapped her to attention, it was signaling their arrival at Manehatten. The city of fashion, slums, and that strange accent that nopony could call anything but Manehattenite. She firmly latched her saddlebags to her back and walked out into the bustling city. She looked around for any clues, but nothing immediately caught her purple eye. Using her magic, she levitated the first clue out of her saddlebags. The purple glittery fabric reminded her of somepony. She pondered over it. She felt like the answer was all around her.

Author's Note

Truth be told, this chapter felt a bit rushed to me. Anypony feel the same? I like how I've presented it so far though. All opinions will be greatly appreciated. To all reading this, I'm planning on starting another story, and the idea of it seems promising. I have tons of ideas that I can't wait to share with you guys! So, I'm sure after I finish this (probably not anytime sooon) that I will start with that story.
