Blaze Blue Adventures

Smashing Show Off

The ringing of the alarm echoed through the house before being silenced.

“Morning already” groaned Smasher as her stumbled out of bed. He walked over to a small mirror on the wall.

“Mane still cream, body still light brown. Looks like everything is still the same”

Smasher open the cupboard next to the mirror. He put on a yellow hard hat and his saddle bag. He walked into the kitchen, got out a medium sized tub filled it with all different types of fruit then walked out of his flat and proceeded to walk to the train station.

Smasher boarded his train and as he looked around he saw a familiar face.

“Morning Atlas” said Smasher as he sat down next to his friend.

“A good one too. Today we finish that bell tower” Atlas replied with a smile “and then we can get drunk and forget the trouble it's brought us, you better join us Smasher” he continued.

“Of course I will. A drink with friends is something you can never miss”

They continued to talk until the train reached there stop.

Smasher and Atlas walk to the construction site. They looked at the clock tower and smiled at the thought of it being finished before noticing a small crowd around a stage. Smasher turned to Atlas.

“What’s happening over there?”

Atlas shrugged, “Some show pony, try not to get distracted”

“Same to you” Smasher replied as they walked over to a small hut next to the site. He look at a chart on the door.

“Hmm... Lets see. Hmmm, ahh Smasher bring the tiles to the roof”

Smasher Put down his saddlebag and went to work.

Smasher placed the last box of tiles down he heard a loud bang which knocked him to the floor

“What was thaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!!!”.

2 minute Earlier

There crowd booed as the stage pony used her magic from a cloud to her shape.

Somepony called out from the crowd, “Oh come on! You did that yesterday! We want something new!”

“Very well then my loyal fan The Great And Powerful Trixie has something special!”

Trixie thought to herself, “I hope this works”

Her horn glowed brighter than before and a seven blue bolts shot out and six of them collided to make a dazzling sparkle. The crowd cheered but soon stopped as the seventh started to flick and go out of control. Trixie tried to control it but the bolt launched itself at the bell tower and shattered some of the support beams. The crowd screamed and ran. Trixie stared in fear before diving out of the way. The tower smashed into the ground. As the dust cleared all of the worker ponies started to walk up to Trixie who was trying to escape unnoticed.

“Heh whoops” Trixie giggled.

The workers glared at her but they all turned around when they heard a door slam and out came a dark red pony with a white mane he looked furious.

“WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?” He yelled.

All the worker pointed to Trixie. The enraged boss walked up to the group before noticing and then began to count to himself.

“...7, 8... Wait a second, WHERE'S SMASHER?!” he looked around frantically.

“Wait a sec...” said Atlas.

The group stared at him, “Did the chart say he had to move tiles to the roof? He must be up there!”

They all dashed up too were the roof landed there shoveled the rubble as fast as they can.

“Over here!” said one of the workers as he dragged Smasher’s body out of the wreckage. Smasher coughed and groaned as his eyes open.

“Thank Celestia you're as stubborn as you are strong” said Atlas.

Smasher stumbled onto his hooves. Smasher looked around and saw his boss picking something up and put it into his pocket.

“Good to see you’re still in one piece Smasher but I think it's best if you go see a doctor and have a check up. Atlas make sure he gets there”

Atlas helped Smasher and then left.

“And as for you missy, I what to see you in my office, NOW! And before I forget, you lot could please tidy up” he said leading Trixie to his office.

He slammed the door as Trixie sat down.

“Now missy, you have five minute to explain how you’re going to pay for all this damage”

Trixie stared at him, “The Great And Powerful Trixie demands to know how you are going to pay to rebuild my house, um, I mean stage”

the boss started to grit his teeth, “You don't seem to understand missy-”

Trixie interrupted “That's Trixie or The Great And Powerful Trixie... Not missy”

That only made the boss angry, “Fine “Trixie”! As I was saying, it cost this company over 60’000 bits to get the supplies, and including labor and hiring machines, we’re looking at over 100’000 bits. Now we we’re going to be paid 150’000 and now, plus damages and other costs and the fact that you may of incapacitated one of my best men, were looking at a loss of 30’000+ bits, So i ask again how do you intend on paying us back?”

Trixie smirked, “And what if Trixie refused?”

The boss pulled out a box, “Then you won't get this back”

Trixie looked startled and started to look nervous.

“And, by your expression, this means alot to you”

Trixie began to sweat, ”Fine I’ll cut you a deal. I’ll work for you for free and you give back that box”

The Boss smiled, “Very well then but I’ll keep a hold of your box until that tower if fixed” he said as he held his hoof Trixie sighed as she shook his hoof.

Back outside

Trixie and the boss walked out to notice that most of the rubble had been cleared and that Smasher was still standing and working away.

“Ok men, listen up”

All the worker ponies gathered round.

“I have good news. Trixie here said she will help out. The bad news is you will have to do over time if we are gonna get this rebuilt”

The group groaned.

“I'm sorry but at least you get the weekend so go home and rest up, especially you Smasher” The workers split up, grabbed their stuff and left. Trixie walked over to her wreaked stage and next to it there was pile of her stuff

“Trixie you really blown it now. You could barely afford to rebuild it last time, now I have no chance” She started to snivel.

She heard a thud next to her it was a saddle bag.

“Put your stuff in here” said Smasher

Trixie stared at him before putting most of her things into the saddle bag.

“I heard what you said and and it sounds like you’re in some financial problems. If you want, you can stay at mine” Smasher asked.

“The Great And Powerful Trixie doesn't need your charity” she said in stuck up tone Smasher shrugged and began to walk away. Trixie bit her lip and chased after him before coming back for the bag.

As the two made back to Smasher’s flat, Smasher went to his bedroom and pulled out a smaller mattress from under his bed.

“Let me guess, you expect me to sleep on that” she said rudely.

Smasher replied, “Actually I was but if you want to that's fine by me Miss Trixie”

That caught Trixie by surprise, “Wait, why are you being nice to Trixie. Trixie accidentally dropped a building on you. What do you what from Trixie?” she asked.

“Nothing really, I have my reasons?” Smasher said as he started to prepare dinner.

Trixie was even more puzzled “What are these reasons?”

“Well one's personal and the other is that my mother said to always be nice to girls, no matter how rude or obnoxious because, in the end, you’re gonna end up lonely and no pony wants to be lonely. Oh, do you like omelettes?” asked Smasher as he mixed some ingredients.

“Um y-yes” she replied as she started to empty her stuff.

Smasher Began to serve up.

“Sorry for the size but I normally cook for one”

They sat down a began to eat.

As time passed the two talked. Trixie talked about her career but it soon began to get late.

“Well if you don't mind, The Great And Powerful Trixie need her sleep”

“Yeah it getting late” said Smasher as he looked up and lied down on the mattress with Trixie getting comfortable on his bed.

2 days later

Monday

The alarm rang as smasher shut it off he continued on his daily routine but as he looked over Trixie, he was engulfed by thought.

“She such an egotist but I reckon she wasn't always”

Smasher continued to think, he soon snapped out of it by Trixie waking up.

“Morning” Smasher said as he packed. Trixie didn't reply, she just brushed her mane then brushed her teeth.

“Lets get this over with then” Trixie said as she lead the way.

They made it to the to the train station, boarded the train and soon met with Atlas.

“Well I'm amazed you didn't chicken out. You better be helpful Trixie. I'm still annoyed that I can remember the weekend” Atlas complained.

Trixie looked annoyed but she didn't reply.

“Give her a break Atlas, at least she agreed to the help” Smasher said as the train pulled into station.

The three left and made their way to the new construction site. They checked the chart and Smasher got Trixie a hard hat and a high vis coat.

“Ok Trixie, all you have to do is move those wooden beams from that pile over there to the site here. Do you think you can do that without breaking something?” ordered the site manager.

“Yes sir” Trixie groaned and started carrying the beams with her magic.

The site manager walked up to Smasher.

“Good to see you hard at work but please don't push yourself, not to be rude, but we can’t make any more losses” Smasher nodded as he went back to work. “Oh one more thing, I change your lunchtime instead of one its half twelve and could you inform Trixie that her lunch break is one o’clock”

“Sure thing sir” Smasher walked over to Trixie who was almost done.

“Hey Trixie, your lunch is one till one thirty ok”

Trixie walk past without any sign of acknowledgement.

“Trixie, is there something bothering you?”

“It’s personal, so drop it” Trixie replied.

Smasher stood in front of her, “Look, I'm trying to be a good friend which, by the way you act is something, you want more then anything”

Trixie look sorrowful.

“Now tell me what's wrong, please?”

“Why should Trixie? You never told me what your personal reason”

Smasher smiled, “Well you never ask”

“Well?” Trixie replied  but Smasher was interrupted by one of the works

“Oi you two, back to work!”

Smasher stepped aside, “I’ll tell you later ok”

Trixie nodded and continued to work.

After several of grueling hours of work, Smasher and Trixie had arrived home.

Trixie sat down at the table staring eagerly at Smasher.

“Well?” she said.

Smasher took off his work clothes and sat down.

“Normally I would say ladies first but I doubt that it's going to work. So, anyway the main reason is that, well if what happened to you is almost identical to what happened to me as a kid”

Trixie stared confused and the same time intrigued.

“What do you mean almost identical?” she asked.

“Well before I became a thief, I lived normally, went to school, blah blah. Anyway one day in school, I got unfairly punished so, out of frustration, I punched the wall and, well, the whole place collapsed and the town was furious. I tried to help but every time I did, disaster followed and eventually they kicked me out. They didn't care what happened to me, so yeah, now you”

Trixie sighed, “Well you see, your boss, he has something dear to me and he won't give back until the tower is rebuilt”

Smasher looked angry, “So he is blackmailing you, no wonder you were angry”

He thought for a moment, “Well it took us 8 weeks to get it up the first time, maybe with your help it be around 6 and a half weeks so don't worry, it will be back in your hooves in no time, ok?”

Trixie perked up but then looked discussed as Smasher stomach growled.

The two continued their night as normal but this time Trixie was a bit more helpful.

Tuesday

The morning was the same except Trixie was in a better mood the two boarded the train, met Atlas, had a couple of laughs and got to the site.

The boss walk out of his room and approached Trixie, “Ok miss Lunamoon” Trixie looked surprised, “I’ve been informed that it will be raining heverly tonight so I need you to get everything in that big pile and get it to the tent over there. Luckily, we managed to rent out a cart so get to work and watch out, there is a slope and I don't  want to see that cart flying down that hill once. Oh  and no chit chat ok Lunamoon?”

Trixie nodded. Trixie began to load up the cart and hooked it on to her harness and began to walk. She struggled a bit but she managed to get a steady pace.

“A slope? This not a slope. A slope is small. This is a hill!” she moaned to herself.

She heard a some whistle. She turned and saw some of the work ponies staring at her.

“What’s the matter? Twixie need help?” laughed one of them. Trixie groaned and continued, “Of course she doesn’t, she is the wonderful magnificent Twixie, she is the most powerful unicorn in Equestria, even Celestia fears her” the group laughed harder.

“The Great And Powerful Trixie doesn't need or want your help so go bugger off and get back to work” Trixie snapped as she began to speed up.

“You can do it Trixie. You’re the most powerful one there is” she said to herself.

She continued to monologue until she heard a ping. She looked to see what the problem was. It was one of the hooks, it had snapped off. As she tried to fix it the other one snapped off and so the cart was charging down the hill. Trixie tried to grab it with her magic but was out of her reach. The cart slammed through a ladder, knocking one of the worker ponies off and the the cart slammed into a wall and cracked about a third of the bricks. Everypony rushed over to the worker on the floor.

“Whoa dude, what happen are? You ok?” asked Atlas.

“I think my leg is broken. Either that or I hit my head so hard that it looks funny” he growled Atlas and Smasher help him up as the boss stormed out of his office.

“WHAT HAPPENED TRIXIE? YOU USELESS IMBECILE WHAT DID YOU DO!” he yelled.

“It... It was a-an accident. The hooks snapped off, I swear!” Trixie explained.

“Oh really? Then care to explain why the hooks are still on” the boss growled.

Trixie stared at it she couldn't believe her eyes, “but it's true! Trixie promises you they broke”

The boss rolled his eyes

“You two get him to the hospital and Trixie, get your useless flank in gear and get everything up there and I don't care how long it takes or if you have to do it in the rain, just do it” he snapped.

Hours passed and Smasher and Atlas returned. Smasher gave Trixie a key to his flat and enough money to get the train. When Trixie asked why he said he had something important to do.

Smasher tried to sneak in but Trixie was still up she seemed depressed but she tried to be herself.

“So care to explain why you're late?” she asked.

Smasher placed a small purple box on the table.

“Well first I asked the election if he framed you. He is the only other unicon on site and, of course, he admitted he fixed the cart to get you into trouble. I then followed are boss home and found this”

Trixie opened the box and searched through it.

“So, Trixie Lunamoon, that’s a nice name” said Smasher.

Trixie Slammed the box shut, “You looked!”

“I had a small one, winning a talent show and getting your cutie mark. At the same time it must of been the best day ever”

Trixie sighed and even look like she was going to cry, “You would of thought but the truth is my parents said they couldn't make it to the talent show, but when I got home to tell them the news I found out that they had been at my brother’s stupid rugby game. Something that happens on weekly basis and when I told them that I got my cutie mark, they acted like it wasn't anything special”

Trixie was now full on crying. A thought popped into Smasher’s head, walked into the kitchen and rummaged through his fridge. He pulled out a small cake.

“Its not much but you definitely deserve it”

Trixie wipe her tears and began to eat

“So I been thinking, you said that you couldn't afford a new stage house right?”

Trixie nodded.

“Well there’s a dinner theater opening up nearby so why don't you apply for that. In fact ardisson start in couple of days. So what do you say?”

“I don't think that Trixie will have what they’re looking for” Trixie said nervously.

“That's rubbish! You never know until you try. I'm pretty sure somepony like you should know that” Smasher encourage.

Trixie smiled, “You’re right, The Great And Powerful Trixie will show the true meaning of magic” Trixie yelled infusicasly.

Wednesday

An aroma filled the air as Smasher inheadle heverly he started to wake up he yawn and wandered into the kitchen. He saw Trixie cooking breakfast.

“Well this is nice surprise” Smasher said joyfully.

“Well it's the least Trixie could do since you have been so nice to Trixie these last few days”

Smasher sat down and thanked Trixie. After they were done, they got ready and headed out to work.

On site

“Smasher, your task today is to put the floor down on the second floor ok?”

Smasher nodded and began to work. He walked up the stairs and began to place the flooring.

“Hay Smasher, how’s your girlfriend? Did you give her a firm talking to about site safety?” Atlas chuckled. Smasher stade quiet.

“Smasher the silent game doesn't work with me so have you had some fun?” he asked

“If you're asking if me and Trixie are dating then no. Unlike you I can hold myself back” Smasher chuckled.

“Hay, I can hold myself back. Name one time I even hitted to mare that I wanted to sleep...”

Smasher stared at him.

“Two weeks ago, you ask three mares and I quote, “Hey baby, how about you and me get it on back at mine?” ”

Atlas went red in the face, “Well I'm must of been drunk” he replied.

“You had one pint” Smasher replied.

Atlas left in embasement and Smasher went back to work

After he finished, he looked at the clock then to the list of jobs.

“Hmm that's strange, it says I'm free. That can't be right” he thought to himself.

He went to his bosses office. As he approached the door he heard squeals and grunts he opened the door to see...

“What in the name of Celestia!”

He saw his boss on top of Trixie who was gagged on the floor. She began squirm and his boss was staring at Smasher, Trixie managed to kick him off and hid behind Smasher.

“Good lord Smasher! Don't you know how to knock?” he complained.

Smasher removed Trixie’s gag.

“How dare you sir force yourself on her”

“I didn't force myself on her all! I did was tell that she would have to work more to cover all of her debt it was her idea to do it! She even provided the gag!”

“He’s lying” Trixie cried out, “He said that he was going to get his money his way and pinned me to the ground”

“Oh please, Smasher who do believe me? The one who hired you even though you had a long history of crime and also brought you a flat and paid the rent for the first few weeks, or Trixie who has brought nothing but disaster to all of us and not to forget she dropped a building on you” the Boss argued.

Smasher thought he looked at Trixie how was still a little shaken up, “No matter what happened in the past, rape is still rape. I'm sorry but you leave me no choice” he said as he started to leave.

The boss smile faded “That’s your final decision? *sigh* Very well then, I won’t stop you... it’s been nice working with you”

Smasher’s anger subsided as he left. Smasher and Trixie walk to the police station. Smasher stopped Trixie.

“Tell the truth Trixie” Smasher demanded.

Trixie stuttered a bit, “I thought Trixie told he said that only way Trixie could pay him back was through sex of course. The great and Powerful Trixie refused but the brute pinned me down gagged me and then, well, you know”

Smasher glared at her, “You're lying, what happened before I arrived?” Smasher raised his voice.

Trixie didn't reply she tried to ignore the question. “TRIXIE!” he yelle

Trixie stared at him. She never once heard him yell.

“Tell me the truth now” he ordered again.

“Trixie told you! Why don't you believe me?” Trixie replied as she started to back away.

“Trixie, if you were be raped, then why didn't you fight back? You have enough magic to blast him away with easy now tell me”

Trixie tried to back away but she was soon against a wall.

“Umm, umm, well you see...”

Smasher slammed his hoof next to her.

He glared at Trixie, “You have two choices: Tell me the truth OR you can go home, pack your things and leave”

“Fine, I’ll tell you. He invited me into his office and then he started to explain how much money I owed thanks to my recent blunder. It was enormous. He gave me the option to stay and work until the debt was finished but Trixie knew that if I worked more, I would end up in more trouble so i hinted the option of a special service. At first he was angry at the idea but as Trixie worked her charm, he agreed but all I wanted to do was the small stuff because it was my first time but he wanted to go all the way so he gagged me then slammed me to the ground. He was about to violate me so I screamed as loud as I could. He was telling me to be quiet and then you burst in. That is all, Trixie swears”

Smasher looked disappointed as he lowered his hoof and headed home.

“Wait, I thought we were going to the police?” Trixie asked.

“We were but now, as you said, it was your idea and I have no reason to” Smasher replied.

He was annoyed at Trixie. Trixie followed him home.

When they made it back, Smasher didn’t speak. Instead he got a can of beer, opened it and sat down staring out the window. Trixie remembered that he said that he only drank alcohol when he was really angry at something. Trixie started to wonder. An idea popped into her head as Smasher had a sip of his drink. He noticed a bunch of small fireworks appearing in front of him and soon a miniature light show was going off in front of him. After the lights faded, he faced Trixie who was wearing her cape and hat.

“Is that you're way of saying I'm sorry for lying to you?” he asked skeptically.

“Trixie wanted to say thank you for sticking up for her and letting her stay here and all the nice things you’ve done for Trixie”

Trixie sat down next to him Smasher put down his drink, “Well it's just the right thing to do and about the right thing to do, you better apologize to my boss and hope you can work off debt the proper way”

The two continued the night the normal way.

“A couple of months passed Trixie managed to get the job and now she almost finished paying her debt and I’ve been keeping a close eye on her to make sure she was not goofing up and causing more destruction and the workers finally stopped pestering her but the rumours of me and her dating are annoying me. It could be worse if they found out about Trixie’s offer, they would most probably be calling her a whore or something. No matter though, I know she is not. All that matters to me is she still is a bit of an egotistical pain in the flank. Well lets just say, the speaking in the third person has sort of grown on me but anyway, life with Trixie is a better life then my old one”
