A Great and Powerful Wrath

Three days had passed since Trixie, Starlight and Twilight returned from the Crystal Empire. Things had been normal for the most part as Starlight continued to wow Twilight with her magic, she did well with her friendship lessons but one thing had changed. She had begun to spend more and more time with Trixie. While she was not concerned over it, Twilight couldn't help but wonder why.

During a magic competition the two were having Twilight decided she was going to find out why. She asked, "Starlight, I can't help but notice that you and Trixie have been spending a lot more time together since we got back from Flurry's party. What is all that about?"

Starlight had hoped that she would not notice but given that she did, she would have to come up with something that wouldn't give what happened away. She replied, "Well you know we're best friends and we just want to spend more time together." She gave Twilight a nervous look as she continued, "Is there something wrong with me spending more time with her?"

Twilight sighed, "No, there is nothing wrong with it. I just can't help but wonder if Sunburst did something to upset you and you feel more comfort being around Trixie than anypony else."

This was something that Starlight hoped would not happen, she hoped that Twilight would never suspect anything. She replied, "No nothing bad happened up there. Like I said, it is just a matter of Trixie wanting her and I to spend more time together."

Before Twilight could say anything Trixie came running in the door. This frustrated Twilight a bit. She asked, "Trixie, don't you know how to knock?"

Trixie ran over so she was a bit winded. She was breathing heavily as she replied, "Trixie is sorry Twilight but The Great and Powerful Trixie just wanted to tell Starlight that her mom wants her to go see her for a few days."

Starlight's ears perked up as she had been wanting to go somewhere with Trixie and just Trixie for a few days. She asked, "Trixie, could I come? I'd love for you and I to have a best friends' trip."

Trixie replied, "Trixie is sorry Starlight but when The Great and Powerful Trixie goes to visit her mom, she prefers to go alone." She winked at Starlight before continuing, "Maybe sometime we could go to Las Pegasus together."

Starlight said, "I understand about you wanting to see your mom alone and a trip to Las Pegasus sometime does sound fun."

Trixie replied, "Besides, the Great and Powerful Trixie is sorry but Trixie's mom can be kind of intimidating." Trixie gave Starlight a tight embrace and continued, "Don't worry Starlight, we'll have a girls' trip before too long."

Starlight winked at her and giggled, "I certainly hope so!"

As Trixie headed towards the door she said, "Bye Starlight, bye Twilight."

In unison the two said, "Bye."

As Trixie left Twilight couldn't help but notice something. She couldn't help but notice that Starlight was making plans for an exclusive trip for her and Trixie and wanted to find out what it was about."

Twilight asked, "Starlight, what was all that about? Why are you and Trixie planning on having an exclusive girls' trip somewhere and why did Trixie mention Las Pegasus?"

Starlight replied, "Well you know how close of friends we are and Las Pegasus is a fun place for best friends to go."

Twilight asked, "And what were those winks about?" Her eyes grew wide as she continued, "Are you two dating now? Are you two suddenly a couple?"

Starlight's face turned red as an apple which caused Twilight to continue, "You are, aren't you? I should have known when you started spending more time with her than you do with your other friends."

Starlight blushed, "We aren't a couple but I wish we were."

Twilight gasped, "You do?" She nudged Starlight and continued, "You have a crush on Trixie, don't you?"

Starlight replied, "Don't tell anypony but I do." Her voice became more dreamy as she continued, "She is everything a pony could ever want. She is so lovely, she is so sweet, she is so caring and she is so sexy!"

Twilight gagged, "Ugh, gag me." Starlight gave her a glare and Twilight continued, "I'm sorry for my reaction Starlight but I have a much longer history with Trixie that you do and I just can't help but remember how she used to be. I remember how she was anything but sweet and caring."

Starlight replied, "I know you have told me about how Trixie used to be but she has obviously changed. She did help me in saving you and everypony else after you had been captured."

Twilight admitted, "Well that is true, she did help you save us all."

Starlight continued, "And if Trixie was still like she used to be, she would have wanted all of you, especially you, to remain captive and not have cared that Chrysalis may take over. She'd think she could take her on on her own."

Twilight again admitted, "That is true."

Starlight finished, "So I don't see what is so bad about it."

Twilight replied, "I'm just looking out for you. I don't want you to get heartbroken, take her cutie mark and revert to your old ways."

Starlight was becoming frustrated with what she thought was Twilight being overly concerned. She began to head towards her room and said, "Twilight, everything will be fine. I'm planning on telling Trixie about my feelings when she gets back and if she wants to be my marefriend, I'll be ecstatic. If she doesn't, I'll be sad but I won't let it turn me back into a cutie mark thief."

As Starlight got upstairs Twilight said to herself, "I hope not."
