Author Note: This Fanfic was wrote to kickstart a newly created shipping of The Great and Powerful Trixie and Braeburn. I'm hoping it will give inspiration to other writers and possibly expand the horizons of the TrixBurn, and convince others to give Trixburn a chance and more Importantly to write TrixBurn fanfiction. Honestly, this is the first TrixBurn Fanfic that I've seen... Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you like my fanfic!
This day was alike to all the previous days Trixie had suffered since her highly fabricated story that she had saved Hoofington from an attack by an Ursa Major backfired and her whole career as a Travelling showpony was completely wrecked and ruined. Just like a car accident, her life had been smashed in to tiny pieces, but somehow she was coping, day by day. She was a tough pony, she could take the abuse hurled towards her, the rotten vegetables thrown at her, the snickering and laughing at her, she was coping, for now... But she was close to cracking!
Just thinking back to all of the abuse hurled towards her was enough to make her feel queasy and light-headed, all those names she was called, she didn't want to be called them, It made her feel worse. At times she wanted to escape, to be given another chance to correct herself, but nopony was gave her that chance, they were just making her feel worse. Those names, she'd compile in her head sometimes, she'd list them, and think of them, at times until she was almost at the point of breaking down in tears! The Great and Powerful Trixie was being subjected to abuse, she was great and powerful, she didn't need abuse, it made her feel quite the opposite of her title, It made her feel weak and powerless.
She'd just been through manehattan to do a little bit of shopping, get what she needed and just look around. That day had probably been the worst day she'd had for a couple weeks though, even more abuse was hurled at her, along with the laughing and snickering either behind her or right in-front of her, she was frazzled on her carriage as she drove it somewhere, needing a little break from what had became of her life. She was so frazzled that the events that were about to happen were hidden from her normally fast reacting self.
Somewhere near to Appleloosa, out of nowhere, a tree branch came in to vision, growing out of the ground, bent and thick, laying over the road. Trixie didn't notice the branch until it was too late, she span the carriage around to try and save herself, but it was all too late, the carriage hit the branch at a side angle and was catapulted over it, hitting the ground many times, as it rolled and rolled, down the road, until it hit a tree. Every time the carriage rolled over and hit the ground, more of the wood of the carriage was breaking apart, cracking under the impact that it was taking. At some point, a lit candle fell from her desk on to the bare naked wood. By the end, the carriage was Burnt, next to the tree, completely broken, smashed in to pieces, just like trixie's life. Trixie lay there on the grass after she was catapulted from the carriage earlier, she was very bruised, cut and bleeding, eyes closed.
By morning, she was found by Braeburn, who was leaving town to do some shopping for the town, her carriage was a pile of wood and other random materials, partly burned but still repairable. It had survived mostly because the tree which it landed by took most of the Impact and enveloped the fire, it was burned to the ground. Braeburn runs over to her and checks her, she was breathing, but cold and unresponsive.
"Um, Miss? Can you hear me?" asked Braeburn, in a worried but calm voice, the question lays unanswered for several moments as Braeburn looked around at where they were.
He looked at the burned tree and the remains of the carriage, he sighed and carried her to his carriage. he turned it around in the road and headed back to Appleloosa. he decided to get the Carriage, and alas, the shopping later. Braeburn rode in to the town on his carriage, with her in the back. he took her to his house, and called a doctor, once the doctor had arrived, and had gave her the all clear and left, Braeburn took her into his spare bedroom and tucked her in to the double-bed.
Trixie awoke, much later, in a soft and comfortable double-bed, the pillows were worn and frayed, but still comfortable, it was covered in red and green apple markings, the bedsheets were also worn and frayed, it was covered in Red Apples with a white background in the blank spaces, the mattress was the only part of the bed that isn't worn and frayed, it seemed pretty new. Trixie looked around and began to focus on the curtains, they were closed and covered in Green apples, with white in the blank spaces. The weak afternoon sunlight was barely able to get in through the curtains, but it was still enough to illuminate the room. Trixie was in a sort of spare room, some boxes at the other end of the room, stacked up and labeled, she could not be bothered enough to take the time to look at the labels, she continued to look around until she noticed the apple covered wallpaper,
"Apples again. Boy, they must really like apples...", she thought as she stroked her chin, bemused at the events that had happened, completely confused, Without wanting to, the subject of apples made her start to think back to the start of her downfall, Ponyville.
Trixie thought back to Twilight Sparkle, and how she was upstaged by her with magic, and how Snips and Snails brought a Ursa Minor into Ponyville (believing it to be an Ursa Major) for Trixie to use her magic tricks to defeat it, completely ruined her her highly fabricated Story. It ruined her life, she was so angry at those three Ponies, THEY RUINED HER LIFE, HOW DARE THEY!!! Trixie was now completely inside her mind, she could not pay attention to the Stallion standing at the door, whilst he smiled, When he made a quiet cough, she jumped in a mixture of fear and shock.
"I'm, Sorry. I Didn't mean to scare you miss..." said Braeburn, as he smiled softly with a tiny bit of worry on his face.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie accepts your apology and wants to know why she is in this place, what happened? The Great and Powerful Trixie also wonders where the place is..." replied Trixie, as she sat up in bed, she needed answers to the questions in her head.
"I found you on the side of the road, your Carriage broke in to many pieces, I'm going to try and fix it, but your going to have to stay with me, for a bit... Er, This town is called Appleloosa, a couple miles away from Manehattan... your in my House..." replied Braeburn, as he smiled.
Trixie goes to speak again, but Braeburn cuts in, "I'm sorry, Miss. But you said your name is "The Great and Powerful Trixie", your not... you are... your that traveller pony from ponyville, you caused my friends some mighty troubles, Miss...",
Trixie gulps and pleads, "The Great and Powerful Trixie wishes that you won't throw her out with nowhere else she can go..."
Braeburn sat at the end of the bed and he smiled, then spoke, "I'm not going to be doing that Miss, But I'm hoping that you will stay Inside as much as you can, Okay?", Trixie nodded and looked around.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie wonders if you have any food she can eat..." asked Trixie.
Braeburn nodded and stood once more, "I'm going to go and get you something Miss'" said Braeburn, before he trotted out of the room!
After he has walked out of the room, Trixie looked around and starts to think again. "Hmm... Friends! He has friends from Ponyville?", thought trixie as she started to think about Ponyville again.
"He also likes Apples, Maybe he's a farmer, he has the stuff needed to prove it..." thought trixie as she looked around the pretty, but bare room.
"Maybe his friends are farmers as well... What if they are friends with Twilight? What if they find out I'm here?" thought trixie as she looked around, worried and visibly sweating.
"I don't want to sink lower in my life, I just can't take it any more" thought trixie, as she started to sweat even more.
What she thought was seconds of thinking rapidly turned in to minutes, 15 minutes. By this time, Braeburn had returned with a few pieces of toast, a glass of apple juice and some apple soup, he looked at her and saw she was sweating.
"Um, Miss, are you ok?" asked Braeburn, Trixie jumped again, with a mixture of fear, shock, worry. Her tough exterior was rapidly breaking by now, but she was still holding on!
Trixie looked at him, "The Great and Powerful Trixie wishes you would stop scaring her like that..." said trixie, slightly annoyed.
"I'm sorry, Miss. Didn't mean to scare you" replied Braeburn, as he placed the food on the Double-bed.
Braeburn continued to speak, "I went and made this for you, I'm hoping you like it", Trixie looked at it, filled with hunger, she could not hold back the smile she had, even that little bit of kindess Trixie was grateful of, she began to eat slowly, until all the food and drink was gone.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie likes your offering of food and a roof over my head whilst The Great and Powerful Trixie's carriage is being fixed, The Great and Powerful Trixie is a pony that doesn't expect good things like this, especially after what happened back in Ponyville, so The Great and Powerful Trixie is grateful. Thank you!" said trixie as she sat on the bed, tray empty, full.
Braeburn smiled and replied, "I am a very caring pony, I'm not going to let a pony such as yourself stay out In the cold because your carriage is broke...", he smiled more.
"I'm just hoping that you don't not go out in to our town and cause yourself a bees nest of trouble Miss! Most ponies detest 'The Great and Powerful Trixie', I'm doing this for your own good, Miss..." said Braeburn, Trixie was bemused and confused, but she smiled.
"The Great and Powerful Trixie wishes that you could leave her room please, she'd like some more sleep, she feels... Tired" lies trixie, knowing she was close to cracking.
Braeburn smiled and stood, he trotted out of the spare bedroom and down the stairs, Trixie laid down and looked at the curtains, and that's when It happened, she'd finally cracked, maybe it was the care and compassion Braeburn had shown to her or maybe it was some tiny thing, but that day was not alike to any other day she'd had for a long time, She cracked, she tried to hold in the tears, but it was all too much, she started to cry, quietly, and deeply. she looked at the curtains, curled up in the sheets, crying.
