//-------------------------------------------------------// Trixike and Starlight -by Silver Butcher- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Maybe one day //-------------------------------------------------------// Maybe one day Starlight was walking to Twilight's room, when she heard the two arguing, she opened to door, and saw Twilight backing away from Trixike who had just ruffled Twilight's mane, "....just need to relax." Trixike was saying before Starlight "have you come to complain about my existence as well?" She asked sweetly "What?" Starlight asked taken aback "Those thing's could be dangerous, who know's what they'll do if they fall into the wrong hands" "Judging by the last 5 minutes, It seem's you already thing they have fallen into the wrong hands," Trixike replied happily "Stop that!" Twilight demanded "Stop what?" "acting so...happy about everything!" "I can't stop, Existing is fun!" Trixike replied "I've existed for less than an hour, and you already want me gone, isn't that neat? Less than 5 minutes ago you didn't even know my name" She giggled "Your just so sure of yourself, Its so..." suddenly Twilight hand flashed out and grabbed on of the ear-rings. "Gotcha!" she exclaimed triumphantly, only to find she couldn't touch the ring, it was like it wasn't there, her hand just phased threw it "what the ha..." Starlight decided it was time to intervene. "OK, enough, Twilight relax, Trixie, Spike ple..." "I prefer Trixike if you don't mind." "..Trixike please unfuse before Twilight does something really stupid" "Fine...but only cause you said please." Trixike replied, removing her ring's and un-fusing. Spike tossed his back to Trixie, who pocketed them. Twilight sighed "Listen, I know to promise of power is tempting, but trust me you don't wan...." "I like be Trixike" Spike shot back before she could finish "It's nice being powerful, not that you two know what it's like to be weak" "An Alicorn and the Unicorn that walked threw time" Trixie chimed in "Not exactly pushover's, but a simple show pony..." "And a pitiful dragon with no wings, I wander why we like being her so much?" the two looked at Twilight and Starlight "But you can have the Rings" "Thank yo..." "If you give up being an Alicorn," Trixie said happily "WHAT!?" "You want us to give up some epic power? You give up yours" Spike shot back. Trixie and Spike crossed their arm's and said in unison "It's only fair" Twilight sighed "That's stupid, I am a Princess given power from Celestia, you two got your power's from some old stallion who disappeared immediately after handing it to you." Twilight started rubbing her temple "Please listen to yourselves and just..." "Now if you'd excuse me I have shopping to do," Trixie said as she got up and left "And I have chores to do" Spike got up and left as well, Twilight sighed and turned to Starlight "Help me here." she pleaded "Just let them have their fun, If they start getting out of hand and dangerous, then that's when you try and take the rings." "AN URSA MAJOR!!" "You're freaking out over an Ursa? I think we've dealt with worse" Starlight said as she left Twilight "I have a bad feeling about this" Twilight sighed to her empty room. Starlight was just leaving the castle when she Saw Trixike juggling flaming bowling pin's while using a hula-hoop and spinning a plate on her horn and Tale, a crowed was cheering her on, next to her Trixie's hat was on the ground filled with coins. Starlight watched as Trixike caught the pin's, threw them into the air, and proceeded to jump out of the hoop land back in the middle of it, still spinning it and the two plates, and started juggling one-handed, while using the other to hold herself up, after a second she started blowing multicolored smoke into the crowed. Starlight watched as Trixike did a cartwheel out of the hula-hoop, threw all the pin's high into the air, then threw the two plates into the air, grabbed the hula-hoop with her Tail, tossed it to her hand's and holding over her head, blasted a ball of Green fire into the air, and all the objects vanished. Trixike Bowed, help the hoop over her head then dropped the hoop, disappearing inside of it, and once it hit the ground, the hoop turned to smoke. The Hat two was gone, there was clapping, and soon the crowed dispersed, Starlight smiled and, after thinking for a second, She teleported to Trixie's Cart. Trixike was laying in-front of it, counting her coin's, all her prop's stored inside the cart, without looking up Trixike asked "Did you enjoy the show?" Starlight smiled "Didn't take you long to come back did it?" "A group of ponies asked them to do something entertaining, so they formed me and I entertained them and got paid to." Trixike was Dividing the coin's into two piles until there was only one left "and seeing how Trixie doesn't live in a castle, It only seem's fair she gets the odd coin out." She said happily flipping the coin into the larger of the two piles. "Now, Trixike takes it you've come to complain about her?" Trixike stood up, towering over Starlight for a second, then with a quick spell, Trixike shrunk down to almost eye level of Starlight. "Wow, I didn't know you could change your height!?" "Yes....well It's rude to look down on others." "You were quit tall when talking to Twilight." "Trixike has...Mixed feeling's on Sparkle....you, on the other hand, are a solid friend in my book." Starlight smiled "Thank you Trixike, It's Odd to think that you both are, and aren't Spike and Trixie." "Yes, judging from the...ponies I've talked to...I seem to be having that effect on everypony who see's me. Some distrust me because of Trixie's Past, other's seem to expect me to be more helpful because of Spike, And everypony seem's to be expecting me to do something dangerous. But I know better, I have Trixie's amazing mind and idea's, but Spike's keen mind and pre-planing skills" "I'm guessing that outside of the flaming cage, you had an invisible protective barrier around the Ursa as well?" "of course, can't preform if the audience get's hurt." Trixike said happily as her ring's started glowing "oh dear, Time to day good bye, well....until next time Starlight." she said before splitting back into Trixie and Spike. Trixie did a quick stretch and Spike yawned "Well, me and Spike have some planning to do, So many show's to put on!" Trixie said as she and Spike waved Starlight goodbye, They got the cart, but stopped and had a silent talk together for a moment before Spike turned "Oh, And Starlight, if you ever want to perform with Trixike, just ask, the two of you together would be one rocking performance." "All you have to do is ask," Trixie said as she and Spike entered her Cart. Starlight smiled "Maybe one day." //-------------------------------------------------------// Morning Madness //-------------------------------------------------------// Morning Madness Twilight awoke when she heard an explosion beneath her and fell out of her bed. She got off the floor with a sigh. "I thought I told Starlight not to practice spell this early." She muttered as she got up and got ready for the day. she walked into her bathroom and opened a drawer to grab her hairbrush, when yet another explosion shock the floor, she stumbled for a second, then yelled, "What the hell is going on down there!?" "Pancakes" she Heard Trixike yell back, Twilight froze. "Oh no," With a flash she was downstairs, she looked over at Trixike, who was in the middle of charging her horn, Pancakes covered in Syrup and Butter littered the floor, walks, and the roof, along with a large number of shattered dished. Trixike was holding a plate with her tail and was aiming at it "Morning Sparkle." Trixike said jollily as she charged the spell, "Did I wake you?" "What are you doing!?" Twilight demanded as she looked around at the mess "Trixike already told you, PANCAKES!!" Trixike yelled as she cast the spell, the spell hit the plate, and manifested multiple pancakes, while simultaneously shattering the plate, Twilight put of a shield spell as the pancakes and shards of plate shot at her, Trixike just looked in disappointment at the mess. "Way to much power, I need to work on that." Trixike pulled out a coin flipped it behind her hand and caught a plate. "This time maybe." "Stop!" Twilight commanded, "It's 7 AM, The sun has only just come up, there's no reason to..." Trixike looked down at her in shock. "I forgot to give you the letter, didn't I? Spike though you were to calm last night." Trixike reached into her pants pocket and pulled out several odd objects, including a bowling pin and another pair of pants, after rummaging thew it for a moment Twilight sighed "I know you think you're being funny, but I don't have time for..." Twilight shut up when Trixike handed her a letter. "Celestia sent this yesterday while I was around...oops" Trixike shrugged as she waited for Twilight to read the note. Slowly the color in Twilight's face drained. "Princess Celestia will be arriving in less than an hour for tea...." Twilight slowly fell to the floor and looked up at Trixike, who was now smiling "That's better." "I hate you," Twilight said as she looked up at her, Trixike made a pouting face. "Daw...your gonna hurt Spike's feelings...altho I'm Sure Trixie already knew how you felt about her." Trixike looked down at Twilight, who still looked frozen in shock and after a second sighed. "Don't worry, Starlight already has everything ready, A seat for you, he, Celestia, and Myself have been set." "No." "Well, I'm sorry if you wanted to do all the work but.." "No...No...Celestia cannot meet you!" Twilight got up and pushed into Trixike, causing her to drop her plate. "Trixike's plate," Trixike complained as Twilight continued to push her. "Unfuse Now! Celestia can't see you, what will she say, how will she react, What will she do!?" Twilight seemed to be having a meltdown, Trixike sighed "Fine, Trixike shall leave...AND COME BACK AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME!" Trixike yelled as she took of the rings, and Poofed back into Spike and Trixie. Trixie stretched. "I'll go inform Starlight of your demands," Trixie said as she left to do so. Twilight looked at Spike, lit her horn and teleported cleaning supplies. "Have fun," Twilight said as she turned and left, Spike looked around and moaned. "Why is the only non-Unicorn doing this!" Spike complained as he began cleaning. Starlight had just finished setting up for tea When Trixie walked in "Sparkle had officially banned Trixike from the party." "Oh..." Starlight looked at the table "Dam." Starlight lit her horn and another chair appeared, "At least now your not sitting be yourselves...wait...can Trixike ever truly be alone?" Starlight questioned as Trixie left the room. "You'd have to ask her that," Trixie said as she walked out. She made her way back to the Kitchen and found Spike cleaning "What are you doing!?" Trixie asked as she walked in "Cleaning," Spike responded as he did so. "Why didn't Sparkle just poof the mess away!?" She asked as she looked at the huge mess Trixike had caused. "Because she didn't make it I'm guessing." Trixie shrugged as she picked lit her horn and started levitating one of the stacking into his bin. "What are you doing?" Spike asked "This is my job, you don't have to..." "Help clean the horrible mess we made together?" Trixie looked over at Spike with a smile "Trixie will not stand to the side and watch as you clean our mess, now come, let's do this." Spike sighed and smiled back "It's nice to actually get some help every once and a while." Trixie scoffed "Please, Trixie is your friend now, and Trixie would never leave a friend in need, as long as Trixie is here, you will be helped Spike, or my name isn't Trixie." "It would really mess up your speech pattern if your name wasn't Trixie." Spike laughed back as the two cleaned the room //-------------------------------------------------------// Meeting the Princess //-------------------------------------------------------// Meeting the Princess Trixie and Spike where halfway through cleaning up their mess when Twilight poked her head in and looked at the duo. "Alright, you two can stay and have Tea, but I swear if you so much a mention Trixike I will..." "Do something violent to two of your friends in front of Princess Celestia?" Spike asked and looked at Trixie "Doubtful," They both said as they continued cleaning Twilight left the room muttering, she turned and made her way to the room that had been made up for their tea, Starlight was sitting on the opposite side of the two places she had made up for Spike and Trixie. "Twilight" Celestia greeted "It was so very kind of you to invite me over for tea." "It was my honor Princess," Twilight said happily as she took her seat across from Celestia, who motioned to the two empty seats "Who will be joining us?" She asked as she picked up her cup of tea. Before Twilight could answer Starlight cut in "Oh, Spike and Trixie might come" Starlight took as sip "Unless they see some tourists they can extort." Celestia raised an eyebrow "Why would Spike do that?" "Well..."Starlight started but stopped when the three heard loud noises of excitement outside "Oh no." Twilight sighed when she heard the chanting "Who's Trixike?" Celestia asked as the chanting of Trixike's name rang out from outside "Just a local entertainer!" Twilight said fastly "We have better things to do than to watch her juggle and entertain with simple tricks." suddenly a huge explosion sounded outside followed by cheers and yells of free pancakes. "free pancakes and explosions?" Celestia asked, "This Trixike pony doesn't sound like the usual entertainer I've seen in Equestria." Twilight got up "Please give me a moment Princess," She said with a bow before running to check on the kitchen, She stuck her head inside and found it cleaned, she ran over and opened a cabinet, at once a mess of dishes fell to the floor "Those two idiots..." She mumbled angrily as she lit her horn and fixed the plates "...So much power, but so freaking careless!!" she turned and ran outside, where she was met with a crowd of ponies who had come to see Trixike's show, at a glance she could tell their where fewer ponies than last time. "At least she's dying down" She sighed as she turned to the stage, Trixike was balancing one-handed on a Unicycle, her other hand had a stack of Pancakes of a Cracked Plate, her Tail was hula-hooping with another Plate of Pancakes on the end, her horn was lit and making the Unicycle drive around the stage, her legs where crossed so it looked like she was medditating upside down, her Cape and hat where gone, and she had her rings in Bracelet mode. every time she did a lap around the stage she teleported a audience member some pancakes, many of which let as soon as they got their free food. "ALRIGHT!" Twilight shouted, "SHOW'S OVER!!" there where sounds of complaints, most of them about having not gotten the free Pancakes, but in a bright Flash everypony had been given a plate, and Trixike did a quick flip to her feet grabbing her Uni-cyle and hula-hoop, she tossed the Cycle through it, making it disappear, and with a snap the hoop turned into a pole, she put her hands on either side and clapped it away "Hope you enjoyed the show, don't forget to leave a tip," she said offering out her hat, her smile turned to a frown as the crowd left, only a few younger one's giving her coins, As the audience left Trixike looked through her hat her frown deepened "12 bits" She looked over "and I gave em all Free Food." She sighed "how ungrateful" she took the bits out and flashed them to her savings, then turned to Twilight "Need something?" She asked politely. "I told you..." Twilight started when a Trixike's face turned from playfully to absolute shock! "Oh my, I didn't know she was here already." Twilight froze and turned to the Guarded expression on Celestia's face "Hello." She said as she looked over the Towering Trixike, who looked down at herself and tipped her hat "Hello," She said nervously as she shrunk from 16 to 5 foot tall, this didn't seem to help her first impressions "Nice weather?" she offered with a swish of her tail, Twilight motioned to Celestia "Princess, this is Trixike." Celestia walked forward and offered Trixike her had "Pleasure to meet you," she said as her guarded expression turned to one of kindness, Trixike smiled back and offered a hand only for Celestia to grab the Bracelet and take it off, leaving Spike and Trixie in shock and Twilight falling face first into the ground "How'd you do that!" They all three said in unison, Celestia looked at the Bracelet "Where did you two get these?" She asked politely, tho her towne of voice shook them both to the core. "Some old guy gave em to me then vanished" Trixie said as she shook, Celestia raised an eyebrow and looked to Spike who raised his hands in surrender "I was was just giving her her wallet back and was asked to put one of them one" he said "I didn't meet mystery old dude!" Celestia turned back to Trixie who was hiding behind Spike "Don't hide behind me!" He complained as he tried to hide behind her "I'm the coward!" "DId this old colt have a white mane and did her wear all red." Trixie looked at Celestia in shock "Y..yeah, how'd.." Without warning Celestia grabbed Spike's hand and cliped the craclet back on, in a flash Trixike was looking at Celestia in absolute shock "WHAT?" She asked in confusion as Celestia actualy shook her hand "It's a Pleasure to meet you Trixike, why don't you come in for tea and tell me more about yourself, or do you prefer selves" "Trixike prefers self, but what?how?" Celestia smiled and helped Twilight up with a glint in her eye "I haven't taugh my student everything, and I'm sure the Old Colt will explain to you when he thinks your ready." Celestia them dragged the confused Twilight and Trixike inside, both at a loss for word.
