Solar Child: The Original Chapters

Solar Child

Chapter Nineteen

Written by Bakmah Genesis

      Rainbow Dash looked over the crowd and stared at the wooden trailer.  The trailer was painted with multiple stars and what looked like some sort of hat.  The words 'Great and Powerful Trixie' were lettered across its surface.

      "Ha!  Twilight is better and is a whole lot sexier."  Rainbow realized that she said that aloud and smiled sheepishly at the word looks she got.  She flew to the front where she saw the others and landed next to them.

     "Ya don't have ta tell everypony you love 'er, ya know." said Applejack.  Twilight was so far the only one out of their group who was not there.  For that she was thankful since she would probably died if Twilight heard it.

      "I didn't try to think that out loud."  Rainbow pawed the ground with a hoof.  "It's true, though."

       "Well, we all think that when we love someone, dear." said Rarity.  The mare nuzzled against Applejack.  "At times, I would say Applejack is more beautiful than any jewel I've seen."  She smirked and gave AJ a quick kiss, the farmer quick to return it.

      The fashionista and farm pony have been. Together for the past week.  Everyone was shocked since the two were complete opposites.  Rainbow accepted it a bit more as well as Twilight.  She loved Twilight and she was nowhere near the same level as Twilight.

       "When is this thing going to start?" groaned Rainbow, wanting to judge this 'Trixie' character herself.  Almost on cue, there was a large burst of fireworks.  Out from behind the curtains came a blue mare with a silvery mane.  The young unicorn mare wore a purple star covered hat and cape.

       "Behold the sight of the Great and Powerful Trixie!" shouted the mare.  Rainbow's ears twitched in annoyance.  She snorted at the boastful mare and spotted Twilight off in the edge of the crowd.  She smiled and was about to call out to her when a shouting brought her attention back to the stage.

       Somehow, Applejack ended up hog tied and an apple shoved in her mouth.  Rainbow's eye twitched at the sight.  She wasn't going to let some boastful showmare humiliate her friends. She leaped into the air and flew up to the mare.

       "Hey!  No pony makes fun of my friends!"

        Twilight gazed at the mare that stood on the stage that called herself the Great and Powerful Trixie.  She ran the name through a hundred times before a clicked, causing her mouth to drop.  Spike noticed this and raised an eyebrow at her.  He looked back up at the mare then back to her.

       "Uh, Twilight?  Are you okay?" asked the drake, eyeing the mare below him with curiosity.

       "I know her." she replied, shaking her head.

        "From where?"

         "Well, remember when Aunt Luna told us how Nightmare Moon was somehow to convince one of the guard that was sent up with her to sleep with her?" asked the mare.  Spike shuddered.

        "Yes.  Why does that have anything to do with it?"

        "Luna told me she had a child, surprisingly on the same day I was born, and that she was able to get enough control over her body to send the filly back here after naming her and doing the same spell that makes me a unicorn."  She looked up at the boastful mare.  Applejack was shouting something at her but she payed it no mind since she as focusing on the other mare.  "The filly's name was Trixie Lulamoon."  Spike's jaw dropped.

       "Why haven't we seen her at the castle then?  Either one of them should have had the desire to meet the other since Luna returned." said Spike as he looked up at the mare.  She was now facing with Rainbow Dash, Applejack hog tied on the otherside of the stage.

       "Trixie doesn't know and Luna is afraid to confront her and tell her.  Spike, do you have parchment and quill?"  The dragon gave her a 'you're joking, right?' look and grabbed paper a quill from where she could not see.  "Alright.  Dear Auntie Luna, a traveling magican travelled to Ponyville today and is most likely her for the day, maybe night.  I tell you this since her name may have meaning to you.  It is Trixie.  She fits the description, accept her being boastful and slightly full of herself.  I recommend you come by while she is here and tell her.  Your loving niece, Twilight Solar."  Spike finished with a quick flick of his wrist.  He rolled up the parchment and sent it on its way via blue flame, a flame he rarely used.

        "Let's hope she can set her straight." said with a frown as he watched Rarity run off crying, her mane a green birds nest. He shook his head and hopped her back.  "If you need me I will be calming down Rarity.  I will find you if she replies."  he said, walking off after the mare.  Twilight turned her attention back to her other friends who were walking her way, Rainbow and AJ throwing the showmare looks that could kill.  She was about to call out for them when a scroll hit her on the head.

        "Nevermind.  She decided now." called out Spike before running off.  Twilight shook her head and picked up the scroll.  She broke off the moon seal and read the letter.

          My Dear Twilight

  I know you are right and I should tell her.  The problem is I don't want to walk into the Ponyville and attract attention to me and my daughter.  I'm asking you to invite her into your home and have Spike send a letter to me so I could travel over via teleportation.  Make sure to send your mother one as well.  I may hesitate and she will be more then glad to drag my flank to Ponyville.

              Your Loving Aunt

          Luna.

           "Oh buck me." said Twilight.

            "I would gladly but we are in public."  Twilight jumped and fell to the ground with a thud.  Rainbow Dash laughed as Twilight stood back up, glaring daggers into the cyan mare.  Applejack shook her head.  She noticed the letter on the ground and picked it up.  She yelped as it was ripped out of her grasp.

           "Now, I must get back to the library.  This Trixie has brought on a few problems and I need to take care of this all."  With that, the lavender mare turned and left, leaving the four other mares to stare in confusion.

          "Who is it that seeks audience with the Great and Powerful Trixie?" asked the blue showmare as she approached her trailer door.  The sound of knocking pulled her away from her research.  She looked through about three thick tomes through the day after her show, each one yielding no information on what she was looking for.

            She opened the door to be met with a chilled breeze.  The sun was starting to set, coating the small town in an orange glow.  She looked around for the reason she was there and found a scroll in front of the door.  Curious, she picked it up in her magical glow.  She walked inside and began to read the contents aloud.

            "Dear Miss Trixie Lulamoon.  I will not give you my name yet but I do have some information that I believe will be benifical to you.  At eleven this evening you are expected to arrive at the Goden Oaks Library here in Ponyville.  Your parents identity will be revealed the-" she stopped and stared at the letter in disbelief.  She looked up at the clock on her wall that depicted that she had a few hours until she was supposed to meet this pony.

             She was interrupted by rapid knocking on her door.   She sighed and placed the letter away until further notice.  She opened her door to reveal the two young colts who claimed to be her biggest fans.  They were panting and had a mixture of fear and excitement on their faces.

           "Why have you disturbed the Great and Powerful Trixie?" she asked, switching back to her persona that served as a mask.  The colts were about to speak when a deafening roar cut them off.  Trixie searched around for the source until she stopped on the source.

         "Oh buck." Was all she could managed as she took in the Ursa Major.
