Changing Desires

Two weeks had passed since Starlight used her advanced magic involving time travel to force Twilight to give her relationship with Trixie her blessing and things seemed to return to normal for the most part. While Trixie and Starlight did their best to operate separate from one another, it was tough for them. Twilight would get frustrated when she'd catch them staring dreamily into one another's eyes but the thing that bothered Twilight was that since their incident, Starlight wore her saddlebags pretty much all the time as a warning that she had her spell with her and would have no problems using it.

Another morning arrived in Ponyville as Starlight was waking up. She headed to her bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror. She began thinking about how she was so close to having altered everypony's destiny. While she was happy that she was able to be with Trixie and have Twilight's blessing, she still couldn't help but wonder "what if?" What if she had stopped Twilight from hatching Spike? Where would life have taken her? Like she has a couple times in the past she glared at her mane and fixed it back to it's original style. She smiled, grabbed her saddlebags and headed to the door where she was greeted by Trixie.

Trixie hugged her and said, "Good morning Starlight!"

Starlight replied, "Good morning Trixie."

Trixie saw she had her mane style like it was before she was reformed. She frowned, "Trixie thought The Great and Powerful Trixie told you not to wear your mane like that. You know Trixie thinks it makes you look like a dictator."

With Trixie speaking in the third-pony Starlight knew that her marefriend wasn't pleased. She sighed, "Oh alright, I'll fix it." After she fixed it she asked, "There, better?"

Trixie jumped on her and gave her a deep, passionate kiss. Starlight reciprocated and the two very quickly lost track of time. Downstairs Twilight was waiting on them and was not pleased with their tardiness so she headed upstairs and heard gentle moaning coming from Starlight's room. When she headed in she caught them laying on Starlight's bed kissing and groping one another. Twilight yelled, "Trixie Lulamoon! Starlight Glimmer! You know how I feel about this!"

The two didn't even hear Twilight they were so lost in one another. Twilight finally pulled them apart and continued, "Look, you know I have given you my blessing but my castle is not the place to be doing this."

Trixie giggled, "But I couldn't help it! She was looking so sexy after she fixed her mane!"

Twilight grunted, "Well next time could you two wait until you are out of my castle before you start having a heated make out session?"

They nodded in unison. Twilight continued, "Come on, you're late for breakfast and I'm hungry."

The two blushed and followed Twilight downstairs. While Twilight was displeased that they were still doing things that she ordered them not to do, one thing that did put her a bit at ease was the fact that Starlight, unlike she had for the past two weeks, was not wearing her saddlebags. She thought to herself, "Perhaps this isn't so bad. Maybe I should let them get hot and heavy every now and then if it means Starlight won't be a constant threat."

Once they got down to the dining hall the chef immediately took their order and they began to discuss what would happen that day. Starlight asked, "So Twilight, what do you have planned for us today?"

Twilight replied, "Well I WAS going to have you two study more academic matters together today but after what you did this morning, forget that. I know all you'll do if I'm not in there is make out and given that I am going to go and see my friends, who knows what else you'd do. Starlight, you are coming with me to see my friends and then I am going to have you model some dresses for Rarity."

Trixie asked, "What about me?"

Twilight replied, "I want you to stay here and study. I want you to find something in the library, study it and then write me a paper about it."

Trixie sighed, "Oh alright."

After breakfast Starlight and Twilight headed towards Sugarcube Corner. When they arrived all of their friends were there. Starlight said, "Good morning ladies, how's it going?"

Applejack replied, "Well everything's going alright." She noticed that Trixie was not with them and continued, "Twilight, where is Trixie?"

Twilight replied, "Well Starlight and Trixie decided to have a make out session this morning before breakfast. I was going to have them study together in the library but I know had I done that today, all they would have done was make out and Celestia knows what else."

Rainbow asked, "So you left Trixie alone in your castle? Are you sure that is such a good idea?"

Twilight replied, "Come on, I don't think Trixie is anything to worry about." She nudged Starlight and continued, "No offense Starlight, but I trust her more than I would you."

Starlight just sighed in frustration because she knew why. Rarity noticed this and said "Well I think you're out of your mind but I think it may have been for the best. Hoity Toity is coming to take a look at my dresses and Starlight is a better model anyway."

Starlight smiled, "I don't think I'm anything special but thanks."

Rarity continued, "Don't sell yourself short darling. You have what Trixie doesn't."

Starlight asked, "What is that?"

Rarity continued, "Well you are more mature and that goes a long ways when it comes to fashion critics. The model has to be just as exquisite as the dress she is modeling....oh and could you wear your mane like you used to? It makes you look much more mature."

Starlight fixed her mane style and replied, "You bet I can! Besides, I feel more confident with it like this anyway."

Twilight asked, "You do? You just don't wear it like that to intimidate me when you get mad?"

Starlight replied, "I don't. I just don't like that new mane style. In my eyes it makes me look naive and immature."

Twilight said, "Well I do have to agree and perhaps I should let you wear it like that but you know Trixie hates it like that. I don't think that would go over very well with her."

Starlight sighed, "I know."

Rainbow interrupted, "Wait a minute Starlight. You let Trixie tell you how to wear your mane?"

Starlight replied, "Yeah, I love her and in every relationship I know there has to be compromise."

Applejack said, "I know y'all said she had grown a lot Twilight but I never expected her to compromise to anypony other than you."

Pinkie added, "Yeah, especially that meany-mean hooves Trixie!"

Starlight yelled, "She is not mean! She is the love of my life and I wouldn't go giving my love to a mean pony."

Rarity looked up at the clock and said, "Oh look at the time, Starlight we had better get going. Hoity Toity will be here in an hour and I want to have everything ready."

Starlight nodded and followed Rarity out the door. Once they were out of earshot Twilight asked, "Girls, I want to know something now that Starlight is gone. What do you really think about her and Trixie being together?"

Applejack replied, "Ah can't believe Ah'm saying this but Ah don't like it. Ah think Trixie is taking advantage of her."

Fluttershy added, "I agree with Applejack. You made Starlight so nice and now it seems like she is being controlled."

Rainbow added, "Yeah, I wouldn't think that Starlight Glimmer would allow anypony to tell her how to wear her mane."

Twilight replied, "I know." She lowered her voice and continued, "Before Starlight and I had that big blow up over me accusing her of casting spells on Trixie I thought she was manipulating her. Now I can't help but wonder if Trixie isn't doing something to manipulate Starlight."

Applejack interrupted, "What? Y'all think Trixie is casting spells on a pony as powerful as Starlight?"

Twilight replied, "No, I mean emotional manipulation. I don't know much about Trixie's past but I know about Starlight's. Before Trixie came along, Starlight had never experienced love before and I can't help but wonder if Trixie isn't just charming her. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually worried about Starlight."

Fluttershy asked, "What do you plan to do about it? Are you going to talk to them about it?"

Twilight got a smile on her face and replied, "No, but I'll think of something."

After their talk they began to talk about ordinary, everyday things but Twilight had things running through her mind, things that could help her smarter and more advanced student greatly. She believed that Starlight could be something much more than a pupil, that she should be something more than a pupil, even more than a protege but she was not sure if she could convince the one pony who could make it happen to help her with this.
