For the Heart of an Earth Pony

"Look, I'm sorry, Trixie, but I'm thinking... I think I'm gonna go ahead and call this whole thing off, ok?"

"What??"

"Well, I may have been a little bit... judgmental, and to be honest, I'm starting to deeply regret the whole thing."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Orangey! We made a deal! Don't be bashful, step up and take what's yours. It's what you wanted from the beginning, is it not?"

"Yes, well - you see, that was before I realized how much she... how much she really seems to love him, and well-"

"Um, I'm not about to tell my brother that his rightful mare is no longer available because her uncle decided to go all soft. Like I said; we made deal. There's no backing out now."

"Ponies make mistakes! Have second thoughts! I want what's best for my sister's little girl, and well... they actually are incredibly fond of one another, and she's never been one to misjudge character. I had a knee-jerk reaction at first, and I'm starting to regret it."

"Oh please, how could anyone love - er, what I meant to say is  - "

"You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you don't hardly care for her best interests at all!"

"!!! Are you suggesting that I don't want what's best for my dear, beloved friend Applejack??"

"Look, I'll pay you half for canceling, and - "

"Orange, Orange, Orange. I am soooo disappointed. I mean really, let's not forget who is who here. You're an Earth pony, and I'm the great and powerful Trixie. I'm a girl who gets what she wants. I want my bits, and I want my brother to be with your niece."

"Um, no."

"What did you just say to me?"

"It was nice working with you."

"Sweetie, I'm curious, how is your marriage going?"

"Excuse me?"

"Do you love your wife? Does she love you?"

"I don't see where you're going with-"

"I imagine it would be devastating to her if I accidentally slipped some of my elixir in your mouth as you walked by one of those young mares over there. Is that what you want? Hm?"

"I...I-I... no."

"That's what I thought. You'll see, it will work out wonderful in the end for Applejack, I promise. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some mingling to do of my own. See you around!"
