Trixie's Redemption
Chapter 9
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Dash...are you...are you reading?" Trixie was practically speechless. Every file she read about Dash specifically pointed out the Pegasus has a very basic understand of grammar due to her lack of book reading. Dash didn't speak, but instead held the book up to cover her head, a weak response mumbled and was lost within the books pages."What was that Dash...I didn't hear you." Trixie was worried of Dash's response, but needed an answer. Again, only a sharp "S" as if she was saying "snow" resonated from Dash as she hid behind the book, but Trixie didn't hear it well enough to make any more than that. The concerned unicorn leaned down and read the book, but the words were unlike anything she had ever heard and had a picture of a snow plow and a shovel crossed behind a picture of a stallion looking up and to the right. The entire picture was white, With the outline of the pony being a deep crimson.
"Erm...Что?" Dash said lightly as the book was lowered. Her face was almost as red with embarrassment as the picture on the book.
"Dash...did you just..." Trixie had been around Equestria, and remembered that word. She remembered a heavy accent following the chill of snow. Trixie abruptly pressed Dash down. "...Stalliongrad ...Dash ...did you just speak ...in ....in..." she didn't want to say it in fear of learning something.
"Я... Я не хочу говорить об этом" she blurted out, blushing furiously and trying to get away, her wings flapping wildly.
"Oh no, my marefriend's speaking in Communisty." Trixie yelped lightly, looking over at Twilight.
"Oh...am I interrupting something girls?" twilight giggled as she trotted in and smiled.
"She...she was reading, and...and speaking..." Trixie began saying, but was cut off as Twilight began laughing.
"Awwww, Dash, I told you to go upstairs to read, you ruined the suprise."
"Twilight...I was only gone for two hours...what happened?" Trixie sat up, but still rested on Dash's struggling form.
"I...um..." Dash spoke up, this time in regular speech,"You're so smart, and I didn't want to be a loser in your eyes...Twilight was boosting my ability to learn with her magic...and I wanted to learn something different." She gulped lightly, submissively curling her front hooves to her body as she looked at Trixie, whimpering softly.
Trixie's expression went from sad to very surprised, looking at Dash with a gleam in her eyes."You...you wanted to learn...for me? Oh Dash...that just makes my news even better." She beamed at Dash,"I'm going to learn a spell to fly...so we can both soar through the air...or...at least a cloud walking spell."
Dash's face couldn't have lit up faster then if she was meeting a Wonderbolt. Her wings finally had enough strength to lift Trixie off of her, only to pounce the unicorn and kiss her all over. Dash was worried that a relationship with a ground bound pony would be limiting, but with a spell like that, Trixie could stay in Dash's home in Cloudsdale.
Dash looked over at Twilight with a desperate smile. "So...is it possible?"
Twilight pondered the thought for a minute before smiling."Trixie, if you could bound a cloud-walking potion with magically-artificial wings...then I don't see why not. May be difficult...but I can help."
Dash and Trixie smiled to eachother, then made a devious grin as they pounced Twilight in unison, kissing her all over. Twilight was blushing hotly as the two bathed her in affection, giggling like fillies. Trixie was so eager for love, and to finally put her demons behind her. Sadly, those demons weren't scared of love and emotion...in fact, they fed off of it. Trixie was just building walls to slow it down, and it wasn't working as she had hoped, looked back on her past days. Every happy moment in Trixie's memory was happiness peppered heavily with sorrow and tears. She wondered who to go to, when an idea came to mind.
The only one who could help was somepony who she both trusted, and deemed powerful enough to get rid of her issues. It wasn't too hard to realize who to call out to help, but she was still afraid about the mare's reaction.
"Um, Twilight? Could I use your ink and notes that you use to send letters to Princess Celestia?"
"Oh...um, sure, don't see why not" Twilight gave a light smile in approval as Trixie hurried to the desk. She scribbled down a long message and hastily send it to Celestia, sighing lightly as she returned to the others and put on a convincing smile.
"Alright...so about cloud-walking..."
As Luna calmly make her way towards the Royal Study to catch up on her magic, her hooves gently clopping on the wooden floor, she was alerted to a voice calling to her. She turned to see a royal guard galloping towards her, bowing cordially and giving the princess a note.
She levitated it to her eyes and noticed the writing, smiling lightly as she thanked the guard and went into the study. Resting on a soft daybed, Luna read the note to herself with a laxed mindset, but soon became worried as she got halfway through. She closed her eyes as she finished reading, sighing as she brought a blank piece of paper and ink to attention, writing a response and hastily sending it off. She slowly got up and walked to her room, preparing for a very interesting night.
The note was left on the daybed, containing the following:
Dear Princess Luna,
I am in great need of your assistance, and only you can aid me. I thought that my depressed nature and I'll-begotten, destructive traits had all but disappeared. I am saddened to report that the opposite has occurred. As my happiness and friendship grows, my negative emotions and prior personality pushes and pressures me to notice it. I fear that without proper guidance, I will become what I fear. You know who I am...and who my mother was, and I fear. . .that I will soon take on her malice and hate. I beseech you Princess, if not as a subject, then as a student and friend, I need your help.
Your faithful student,
Trixie Luna-exorcista
Author's note: yes, Trixie's name is Latin for Moon-conjuror. Trust me...when the two meet up, all will be explained, and exposition and backstory will occur...please...don't flame about it, I beg.
