Flirt salad...Yummy,Yummy!

The setting sun would have been a very nice thing to look at right about now, if you weren't so busy following a certain pony. The natural splash and blending of colors was a spectacle beheld by pretty much all of Equestrian at varying times, and who would ever tire of seeing such glowing hues above a fading sun? Darkle purple descending into blue, blue descending into red, red descending into orange and yellow, and all of it descending into the blazing semicircle. Artists and photographers alike envy the perfect picture that is the sunset.

But you're not an Artist or Photographer. You're a pony dragged along for one of Trixie's adventures.

Yep, The Great and Powerful Trixie was leading you up a series of rocky outcrops this special night to perform some eye catching trick for all of ponyville to see some two miles away. The plan that she gave you somehow managed to slip your mind, so you often sighed and asked the same question. "Remind me what we're doing in this dangerous spot again?"

"You should really work on your memory. " The Aqua blue mare spat out a very big firework and turned to face you, a sultry smile aimed at you. Are there any better moments in the day besides that? "The Great and Powerful Trixie plans fire this baby into the sky, and it's magnificence will dwarf all the other fireworks. Then, Ponyville buys more of these fireworks and everyone has better products!"

You eye the firework again, and notice how homemade it is: made up of paper towel card board, cut out triangles and a cup. "Yes...All of Ponyville will love your design."

"Thank you. Took me half an hour to perfect, you know." Either she was deaf to sarcasm, or she was the master 'sarcasmist'. "And all that's left for me to do now is find the perfect spot to fire it from. But we're close to that spot, I can feel it."

"Sure. Right..." You sit down on the rock you've stopped above and gazed at what was once behind yourself. Ponyville was illuminated perfectly by the sunset, and you could spot ponies getting their own group of fireworks ready to be blown up. "Well, I'll just sit here and watch them then."

You could imagine her narrowing her amethyst, extremely attractive eyes at the back of your head. "Y'know...A good coltfriend would help Trixie find her perfect spot."

"And a Great coltfriend wouldn't." Was your retort. "Besides, if you do most of the work, you'll go down in history for such a good thing."

"Good point...but you're still only getting 10% of the profit...maybe 11%."

Your eyes roll in your head sarcastically, but you don't turn your gaze away from the town below. The fireworks setup looks like it's going to turn out nicely below you; they've got things in a circle and a star shaped setup within the circle. You couldn't tell how cool they'd look like from your distance, but some were big enough to rival your marefriend's homemade display. Speaking of whom, you hear a series of high pitched screams behind you that warrant your attention.

Trixie is prancing around helplessly, wide eyes focused on a tiny eight legged creature near her hooves. "SPIDER! EEEEW! IT'S SO HUUUUGE!"

You would've snickered at the never ending tradition of females being scared of spiders, but Trixie backed up away towards the edge of her rocky outcrop and she didnt notice it. You gasp and start to rush over to her just as she stumbles backward in surprise. You leap after her but feel a sick drop in your stomach when you see the sheer height that you're falling from. Once you both are close enough, you hug her tightly to minimize the amount of damage she'll take. It's eight seconds before you both bounce off a rock your back, which feels like somepony kicked you in the spine.

Several tumbles later, you stop flat on your back with an echoing thud and silence reigns for a few seconds. Trixie hyperventilates slightly and looks up from your chest, inspecting you closely. "A-Are you okay?"

"Ow..." Your spine pops in various places.

Trixie sighs angrily. "What is wrong with you?! You could have killed yourself!"

"You have an excellent...ow...point there." You move to your hooves as soon as she steps off you. "I am so sorry I saved you...ergh...won't happen again."

She was just about to angrily say something in response but she bit her bottom lip instead;She's cute when she's angry of course, and this only proves it. Eventually the expression softens."...Perhaps Trixie was...a little rude. Thank you for that...and sorry. Perhaps I should work on my spider issue? Heh heh..."

"Maybe." You offer with a wince. She gingerly touches your back with a hoof and it inadvertently stings you a little. "I'll be fine. Just my bones and muscles... They'll heal."

Trixie still looks a bit guilty about it, but she now turns her gaze to where you both came in. The nearest ledge that would allow either of you to climb is a good thirty feet up, and the opening to this cave suggests that you fell a lot further than you realized. "Please tell me you know how to levitate?"

"Are you crazy? Of course I do!" She gestured to herself with a hoof absentmindedly and tossed back her stylish lock of hair. "The Great and Powerful Trixie must know how to levitate for her performances."

"So you can get us out?"

"I can barely get myself two feet off the ground, let alone us both."

That was what you were afraid of. However, your search of the hollowed out part of the cave makes you notice a hole created by several conjoined and heavy rocks. It doesn't look that big, but it might be big enough for your marefriend to get out of. "Maybe you could try getting through that hole?"

Trixie eyed it curiously before she shrugged; she would at least give it a try. The unicorn frowned at you as if you should be doing something obvious. "I'll have to take off my cape. Maybe you should turn around?"

"I'm naked too, but I don't see you complaining about it." Just before you comply you spot her blushing, annoyed face. One sound of capes rufflng later, and Trixie was wiggling her upper body through the hole. She doesn't move forward very much as soon as she's about to get her hips through, something that starts to frustrate her.

"I'm stuck."

"I can see that from here."

She pauses for a second. "Are you staring at my flank?"

"...No. I'm looking at your hooves..." You say less than convincingly. Even if she couldn't see you, she could tell when somepony was looking...always. "And given our relationship, I thought it was okay to do that?"

"Not now! We're still in the middle of business! If this were some romantic mishap, then maybe...wait, I'm not going to discuss that right now. "Trixie kicked helplessly against the rocks, and you began to walk over with a sigh. "Just get me out of here please...and I swear, if touch my flank-"

"I'm not gonna touch it! Geez!" You hooked your forearm under the part of her stomach that was left slowly to avoid causing her pain, and she squirmed randomly. Biting back a sigh, you grimly frowned. "What now?"

"That tickles!"

Your strength eventually manages to pull her loose from the hole, and soon you're left to think of something else. You're close to ponyville, but not enough to really be heard if you scream. However, you were close enough to be seen by somepony with just the right attention-grabber.

You looked at Trixie with an intelligent grin. "Trixie, Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

The unicorn blinked, obviously confused. "I think so, but Twilight never uses mascara to begin with."

"No, Trixie!" You rolled your eyes and pointed at her firework. "We'll use this to signal the others that we're here!"

"Well...I suppose I wasn't really going to make a profit off of these, huh?" Trixie questioned, her voice dripping with gloom.

"I promise I'll buy ten of these things later." You set it up near the opening you both fell from, so that it should rocket out of this place. Trixie lit the fuse and stepped back to wait on it's destined explosion. The firework is finally ignited and rises up five feet into the air, where it explodes into the dimmest light as well as a huge cloud of smoke.

You turn to share at Trixie slowly. "That...was your firework?"

"Sorry..." She mutters. The mare trotted over to rest her body beside the small hole, which was shining less light. The depressed look on her face makes you cringe, but slowly go to rest yourself next to her.

"It could've been worse." You offer slowly. "We could've gone alone and been trapped here alone."

She pouts at you, but you can tell her spirits have been slightly. "Trixie agrees with that...But we still have to wait a little longer for somepony to find us. We're still stuck down here."

You shrug as best you can and smile softly. "There's no pony else that I'd rather be stuck with then."

"Don't start making mushy love sentences..."

"Come ooon! I know you liked that one. I can see you blushing."

She turns her head away from you. "Now you can't."

She reluctantly scooted her body closer to yours, and you can feel the smoothness of her coat;how warm it was. The mare rested her hat nearby, allowing the rest of her perfect platinum blonde hair to be seen. You must've been gazing a little too long because she narrows her eyes at you. "What? Something on my face?"

Your cheeks heat up, something that you really hate. "No, it's just...you know..."

Trixie rolled her eyes with a perfect smirk shaping her lips...just before those lips pressed against yours for the most of five seconds. It could have been ten minutes of this blissful feeling and you both might still not get enough of it.

Your marefriend pulls away slowly and shyly grins. "I know. I love you too."
