The Trixieverse I: The Grass is Always Greener

"So...got any ideas?" Trixie asked Twilight

"None at all!" Twilight said triumphantly.

"Then...what do we do?"

"We wing it!"

"Really? Wing it? Is that what you usually do? Just wing it?"

"Most of the time, yes."

"That's idiotic!" Trixie raised her hooves up in annoyance.

"That's what we do."

"You can't just run in there. Think of something at least! I...ugh! I'll deal with this monster myself!"

"Trixie, it's too dangerous."

"Remember how I said I could defeat an Ursa Major? This is my chance to prove it to you."

"Trixie, you aren't seriously considering this, are you?"

"I've been known to consider a lot of crazy ideas." Trixie said as she winked to Twilight. She threw a rock at the Ursa. "Hey, you want me? Come and get me." Trixie yelled. The Ursa snorted and turned to  Trixie. It walked slowly and bent over to Trixie. Trixie then looked back to Twilight. "In hindsight, this may not have been the best idea."

"Told ya."

"You know...sometimes I hate when you're right." Trixie sighed. She then ran away from the Ursa. Trixie raced throughout the streets of Ponyville with the Ursa wreaking havoc on the town in its persuit. It knocked down every cart and every barrel in its wake. Trixie then spotted what could be her salvation: The Everfree. Trixie ran toward the forest with the Ursa close behind.

As soon as Trixie ran into the Everfree she blended in with the darkness. She hid behind the nearest tree she could find. Suddenly, she heard large footsteps. It filled Trixie with dread. The Ursa walked slowly, carefully looking around for its prey. Trixie was sweating bullets as she closed her eyes, hoping that the Ursa wouldn't find her. Trixie slowly walked around the tree when she stepped on a twig. The Ursa noticed it immediately and went after the sound of the noise. Trixie took off again. She ran and ran in what felt like an endless path. Eventually, she reached a dead end. The path had led her to a cliff. The Ursa closed in on her. Trixie looked in every direction for a way out, but couldn't. The terrifying beast licked its lips. Trixie frantically looked for anything to defend herself with. Her attention turned to a large branch that had fallen down from its tree. She energized her horn and concentrated on picking it up with her magic. The Ursa opened up its mouth wide.  Trixie focused on pulling the branch and then to the Ursa.

She felt a surge of anger. This monster, that had filled her life with grief was at her mercy. It was going to pay. For everything. All those years on the rock farm. All that jeering and teasing. Giving birth to that demon-spawn. And overall ruining her life. Her eyes flashed teal for a moment. And then she delivered her attack, quick and sure.

"I HATE YOU!"

Trixie looked down at her fallen prey. It's eyes were shut and there was no sign of a heart pulse. No doubt, it was dead.

"I've done...what I've always needed to do...I...fulfilled my role...as The Great and Powerful Trixie. Now...this...magician charade...can finally die...in peace." Trixie murmured before passing out.

"Trixie! What were you thinking!!" These were the first words Trixie heard when she awoke. Trixie was in a bed in her library. She was surrounded by her friends in her library with Twilight leaning over to scold Trixie even more.

"Gah! Twilight! Give a mare some space!" Trixie yelled putting her front hooves up.

"I'm sorry." Twilight sighed. "But, it's just...you...when we found you..."

"You appeared to be taking a nap...next to..." Rarity said as she got closer to Trixie.

"A dead Ursa! Never thought you had it in ya!" Rainbow praised.

"Rainbow Dash...please don't say...the 'd' word." Fluttershy whimpered.

"You mean desert? 'Cause I think some is in order!" Pinkie yelled as she brought out a large cake.

"Pinkie, give the mare some space. In fact, we should all give Trix some space after what she's gone through." Applejack said.

"It's okay. You can stay." Trixie pleaded.

"In that case, I'd like to ask you about something."

"Shoot."

"What's your real relation to this show-off."

"Um...we're sisters! I told you that didn't I?" Trixie stammered.

"I told you once and I'll tell you again: You're terrible at lying." Applejack raised a brow.

"Well, I guess you girls need to know the truth." Trixie gave up.

"We actually had a crush on each other in magic kindergarten!" Twilight blurt out.

"Oh! Yeah...I see why you would want to keep that a secret." Applejack said awkwardly. "Well, we should all be going now. You need your rest. Bye!" Applejack and the rest of Trixie's friends went out the door.

"Twilight! Could you stay for a second!" Trixie yelled.

"Sure. What is it?" Twilight asked.

"Well, you see, ponies are going to treat you awfully out there. I was wondering if you'd...maybe like to stay here. You'll feel right at home anyways." Trixie chuckled nervously.

"Well, I don't really have anywhere else to go...why not?" Twilight shrugged.

"Thanks." Trixie smiled.

"Thanks? I thought you were the one who offered me something." Twilight joked.

"Things may not have gone smoothly as I imagined but they still worked out in the end! Ha!"

"What is it going to take, sister? Your plans will fail. You're only hurting yourself!"

"Silence fool! In 20 days we'll see who will fail. Muahahahahaha!"
