The Grand Finale
Friday, June 16th, 4pm. Waiting backstage, behind the Canterlot High School Theatre, Starlight Glimmer put her phone away and took a quick breath. It was now or never. She had to face Trixie and find some way to make up for her dreadful mistake.
Before she could knock on the dressing room door, she got interrupted by a loud cough.
“Can I help you?”
“Eek!” Starlight gasped, nearly jumping out of her skin. She spun around and came face to face with a small, silver-haired girl, clad in her iconic outfit - blue jacket, purple skirt and purple shoes. Little, white stars criss-crossed her clothes here and there.
Trixie Lulamoon, Starlight’s now ex-friend. “Oh, there you are, Trixie,” Starlight said, rubbing the back of her head. “Good to, erm, see you again?”
“Yes, it is a pleasure,” Trixie said, flipping her hair back and folding her arms. “It’s always delightful to be around the Great and Powerful Trixie.”
Starlight put on a forced smile. “I was just coming to find you and-”
“And what?” Trixie snapped, her voice still tinged with the venom from their last encounter. “Finish what you started? To ruin another of my magic shows with your brash aversion to talent?”
Starlight gulped. Well, this is off to a fantastic start… she thought, looking down at her shoes. Here she was, bland as always. Black boots, tight jeans, teal shirt and black jacket. The very epitome of commonality, just as she had always emphasised. Perhaps it’s useless after all, she told herself. Maybe I don’t deserve friends, least of all Trixie.
“Well?” Trixie asked again, tapping her foot impatiently. “What do you have to say for yourself?”
Starlight clenched her fists and bit her lip. “I’m sorry, Trixie.”
“Sorry?” Trixie cocked an eyebrow. “For what, exactly?”
“For trying to hijack your show!” Starlight blurted, fighting back the tears. “For ruining everything that made your show – no, everything that made you special, all because of my selfish insecurities. You deserve better.”
The silence that followed seemed to go on forever. The two stood there, looking at each other as if frozen in time.
“I watched your show tonight,” Starlight piped up, her arms behind her back. “All of it. That was quite a sight to behold.”
“Really?” Trixie asked.
Starlight wondered if Trixie played her for a fool, but neither her expression nor tone gave anything away. Just like a master magician, Trixie kept her true intentions concealed.
“Uh-huh,” Starlight continued. “All those new twists on classic tricks were amazing! Just when I thought Twilight would be stuck in two pieces, but then her legs jumped out and pulled the two halves back together again! Then there was the audience participation. That one guy catching a knife with a playing card, it blew me away! I never thought I’d see someone with dexterity like that!”
Trixie hung on Starlight’s every word.
“Then there was that twisting body trick. I always thought I knew how it was done! Y’know, with the whole fake legs inside one box? But then you made Twilight step out, and her head was on backwards, and the box was on fire and-”
“Starlight,” Trixie’s soft tone ended her near-endless ramble. “Why are you telling me all this? I thought you hated me and my stupid magic shows.”
“I…” Starlight sniffed. It was all coming back to her now. The same gut-wrenching twist from the day she uttered those words. “I’m so sorry, Trixie. I know what I said, and it was a stupid thing to say. I was so frustrated and… I don’t have a good excuse, okay? I was just wrong!”
Trixie placed a hand on Starlight’s shoulder, but Starlight rebuffed it. “I don’t deserve you!” she wailed. “I’m such a terrible friend!”
Pulling out a key from her jacket pocket, Trixie unlocked the door. “Let’s talk in here,” she said, gesturing inside. Starlight’s just gave her a simple nod. Even as she took a seat on the bench next to the lockers, she still couldn’t bring herself to look Trixie in the eye.
“Okay, Starlight,” Trixie remained calm. “Start from the beginning.”
Starlight opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. She just sat there, gripping her jeans in a vain attempt to stop her hands from shaking.
“Starlight,” Trixie grabbed Starlight’s hand. “Please, talk to me. Trixie has been yelled at many times in her life, so I can handle that much. It’s the fact it came from you that got to me. Everyone only sees the Trixie on stage; the lead performer. But you? You’re the one who came to me back stage a year ago. You wanted to know about the Trixie behind the curtains. You wanted to know why I started doing magic. And then, last week…”
“I threw it all away,” Starlight replied. Tears rolled down her face. “All because I wanted a wider audience for your show.”
“I don’t understand,” Trixie cocked her head to one side. “How would making my tricks simpler get more people invested?”
“I know it sounds stupid,” Starlight sobbed. “But it made sense in my head! I thought, maybe if the show were simpler, more people would be comfortable watching us.”
Trixie gave Starlight a tissue from her pocket. “Starlight, I know you meant – wait, did you say ‘us`?”
“Yeah,” Starlight said after blowing her nose. “I’ve never felt special before. Not since they transferred Sunburst to a prep school for his achievements. That’s why I bullied so many people, trying to put them down. I felt like, if I couldn’t be special, then no one should. I can’t believe so many people followed my example.”
Trixie glanced around the room. All her magic props were here, including the star-spangled cape and wizard hat she wore to every show. The same ensemble she’d stopped wearing after the fight. “I don’t understand,” her tone remained flat. “Starlight, I want to be your friend. You’ve been an incredible assistant! I need you to give me a straight answer: why did you have to change my tricks? Why did you try and change me?”
“Because I didn’t think people wanted to be challenged, okay!” Starlight blurted, slamming her fist on the bench hard enough to bruise. “I didn’t think they’d accept you – accept us – if all we did was new stuff. They’d probably just think it’s the same old ‘Great and Powerful: Trixie` pretending to be bigger than she is!”
Trixie stared at Starlight, mouth agape.
“But you’re not like that,” Starlight continued, finally lowering her voice. “I know you’re not like that. As you said, I wanted to know the Trixie behind the curtain. I wanted to know the real you and have everyone else see it. That’s what I like about you, Trixie. You gave me a chance. You let me prove that I was more than just a bully from a cult of conformity. Just like how listening to me ramble proves you’re more than just an egotistical jerk.”
“Oh, Starlight!” Trixie threw her arms around her. Now it was her turn to start crying. “That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!”
“Huh?” Starlight replied, dumbfounded by what she’d just heard. “Trixie, you can’t be serious? No one has ever been nice to you at all?”
“No, no, it’s not like that,” Trixie corrected. “Sunset Shimmer has been nice to me. Her friends have too, when prompted. But I don’t know if they’re being honest with me. Are they really my friends, or are they just being polite? I know they don’t like trouble, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they forced their smiles to avoid fighting.”
“But, why?” Starlight asked, closing her eyes as she returned the hug. “Why would anybody treat you like that?”
“Because I have an ego problem,” Trixie said, cringing. “First, it was just part of the show, like how my dad taught me. ‘Never look weak in front of a crowd,’ he’d say to me every day. From the moment I could speak, he taught me magic, always emphasising how I’d carry on his family legacy.”
“Wow,” Starlight’s eyes went wide. “I can hardly imagine what that’s like.”
“Yeah,” Trixie said, blushing. “Soon enough, I started taking the tough-girl act off stage. I became a huge jerk, because I was afraid of what people would say about me if I wasn’t.”
“That’s how it was with me, too,” Starlight admitted and sat away from her, but didn’t break eye contact. “I guess once you set yourself up as a character, it’s kind of hard to stop.”
“Yeah, you’re right,” Trixie replied with an awkward chuckle, looking away for a moment. “I guess I should thank you for being so honest with me.”
“Trixie…” Starlight began. Her heart was thumping a mile a minute. It was time to say what was really on her mind. “You know how I said that I want to be your friend?”
“Yes?” Trixie asked, her expression dropping. “Please don’t tell me you were lying.”
“Absolutely not!” Starlight took a deep breath. “In fact, I, kinda, sorta see you as more. Than just a friend, I mean.”
Trixie blinked. “More than a friend?”
“Uh-huh.” Starlight paused. “Trixie, I…”
Say it, you fool! Her mind screamed.
“I love you.”
Another moment of silence passed until, at last, Trixie spoke up. “You love me?”
“Yes, I love you,” Starlight repeated.
Now it all made sense to Trixie. The long stares, the smile that lit up whenever she entered the room, the dedication to assisting her show.
Trixie cleared her throat. “Starlight Glimmer,” she announced. “I love you too.”
Starlight all but leapt on her new-found love, planting her lips on Trixie’s.
Trixie didn’t put up any resistance. In fact, she kissed back just as hard, wrapping her arms around Starlight.
“I guess this means we’re on good terms now?” Starlight asked after a full minute of kissing.
“Hmm, let me think about that,” Trixie said, making a show of rubbing her chin. Then she pressed her finger on the tip of Starlight’s nose. “The Great and Powerful: Trixie says, yes!”
“I think I can live with that,” Starlight said, leaning back into her kiss.
So, the two lay there in a silent embrace, sharing each other’s warmth with only the ticking wall clock to remind them of time’s passage.
“Starlight?” Trixie asked.
“Hmm?”
“How far do you want to take this?”
Starlight looked at her new-found love. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, y’know,” Trixie blushed. “Not just our relationship, but with intimacy as well.”
Starlight took another moment to process Trixie’s question. “You mean, like, sex?”
Trixie nodded.
“But we’re in school! Wouldn’t we get caught?”
Trixie grinned. “Not while Trixie has the only keys to the locker room after school hours!”
“Wow!” Starlight said, her eyes glittering. “How did you earn such a privilege?”
“It’s not so hard when you’re class rep of the drama department!”
“If that’s the case, I’ll go however far you’re comfortable with. That okay?”
“Absolutely.”
“Good.”
The pair fell silent, neither of them moving. “So…” Starlight started.
“Oh, sorry,” Trixie replied. “Did you want to start or?”
“No, it’s okay! You can start.”
“Okay, well, you’ll have to get off me first.”
“Sorry!” Starlight sat up, blushing harder than before.
“It’s okay,” Trixie patted Starlight on the head and blew her a kiss. Starting with her jacket, she pulled down the zip, slid out one arm and then the other; revealing her striped tank top underneath. “Hey, I have an idea.”
“What do you have in mind?” Starlight crossed her arms as a seductive grin grew across her face.
“Why don’t we alternate our undressing? You take off a piece of clothing, then I take one off, and so on.”
“I think I like that idea,” Starlight answered with a naughty chuckle, pulling off her vest in one smooth motion. “Your turn!”
Trixie reached down and pulled off her boots. “Now it’s yours.”
Starlight pulled off her beanie hat and tossed it aside. “Proceed.”
Trixie narrowed her eyes at Starlight. “Fine! If that’s the way you want to play it.” Grunting, she fiddled with the hem of her skirt, letting it drop away so her hands were free to pull off her shirt.
“Taking it up a notch, I see?” Starlight could already feel her nether regions getting moist. Bending over, she undid the laces on her boots and stepped out of them, then crossed her arms over, pulling off her t-shirt with ease. But she didn’t stop there. Instead, she reached down to undo her jeans, pulling them all the way down to her ankles and kicking them off.
Trixie’s breathing quickened up a pace. Still looking straight at Starlight, she reached around her back, unhooked her bra and threw it away. Sitting back down on the bench, she pulled off one sock, and then the other.
“Hey, you’ve still got one piece of clothing left!” Starlight snickered, her grin so broad it could rival the Cheshire cat.
“They come in pairs for a reason, you know!” Trixie stuck out her tongue. “Besides, wouldn’t it be more romantic if we take off the last piece together?”
“I knew I made the right decision in dating you.” Without any further hesitation, Starlight undid her bra in a snap, while also push off her socks with her feet.
Trixie stood back up. “You ready?”
“As I’ll ever be!” Now her groin was truly soaked. “On the count of three.”
“One.”
“Two.”
“Three!” Together, the two girls took off their panties, and for the next few moments stood there completely naked; taking in the full grandiosity of their newly revealed bodies.
“Oh, come here, you!” Starlight opened her arms wide, which Trixie gladly herself into.
Immediately the pair locked lips, their hands rubbing up and down backs. Soon enough, they ventured down to grasp each other’s backsides as well.
Starlight gasped with pleasure. By now, her clitoris was so swollen it was practically crying out for attention. “Trixie,” she said. “Touch me, please.”
But Trixie didn’t comply. Instead, she broke off from Starlight, turning away.
“Trixie?” Starlight asked, a small quiver creaking into her voice.
“Aha! Here it is,” Trixie stepped toward a large, padded crash mat leaning against the wall. “Stand back a moment, please.”
Starlight did as she was asked. Trixie slid her hand behind the mat pushed it over, letting it fall beside her with a thud. “Your royal bed awaits, m’lady.”
Starlight chuckled. She hopped onto it and laid down, legs spread.
Trixie knelt in front of her with her head lowered, looking directly at Starlight’s exposed vagina. She held up an index finger and gently poked the outside. Starlight shivered.
“Yep, definitely horny,” Trixie giggled. “And I have just the cure.”
She dropped onto her belly and let her tongue swirl inside Starlight’s inner walls. Starlight began to moan, louder and louder. “Ah! Ah! Trixie!” she cried. “That’s so good! Don’t stop!” She cupped her breasts and squeezed her nipples.
Now Trixie could feel herself getting wetter. As she thrust her tongue in and out, her own hands drifted down her body, with between each breast while the other pushed two fingers inside her.
Her hips rocked back and forth in tandem with Starlight’s, an action which gave her an idea. Pulling her tongue out, Trixie sat up and reversed her position, facing away from Starlight.
“Trixie?” Starlight asked with an exasperated gasp. “What are you doing? Why did you stop?”
“Because Trixie wants us to do something special,” she said, sliding her open legs between Starlight’s, resuming her hip gyration.
“Oh, Trixie!” Starlight moaned, her face flushed with heat. “This is amazing! Don’t stop!”
“Not gonna!” Trixie moaned back. Gripping the mattress, she pushed herself against her girlfriend as hard as she could, a long groan escaping her lips with each thrust.
The harder she pushed, the closer Starlight came to her climax. “Oh-ah! Oh-ah! Trixie, Trixie!”
With one great push, Starlight held her butt in the air, a powerful orgasm sending shivers down her spine as she squirted onto the mat.
“So, how was that?” Trixie asked between heavy breaths.
“Amazing,” Starlight said, arms spread out, glassy eyes at the ceiling. “How about you?”
“Trixie…” she began, thinking carefully about her next words. Given all the drama that lead up to this sex, the last thing she wanted was to upset her girlfriend further. “Didn’t climax. It’s not your fault, though. I just need a little extra stimulation.”
Starlight sat up and smiled. “We don’t have to stop, you know. We can keep going until you’re as satisfied as I feel.”
Trixie hummed for a moment. “Actually, I do have something.” She pointed to a large purple chest behind Starlight.
“Ooo,” Starlight stood up. Trixie bent over to undo the latches on each side, giving her girlfriend a nice view. She shuffled through its contents and found her magic wand; a pink vibrator. “Tada!” she quipped, spinning around and presenting the toy to Trixie.
“Trixie uses this all the time,” she wiggled her eyebrows. “At least, whenever I need a little after-show fun.”
“How naughty of you,” Starlight giggled, dropping to her knees. “Now, open wide and experience the magic!”
Trixie obeyed. Starlight started with a low-intensity setting, gently gliding the head around the edge of Trixie’s vulva.
Trixie opened her mouth to moan but was cut off by Starlight’s kiss. Though unexpected, it wasn’t unwelcome. She let herself relax, leaning back so Starlight could lie on top of her. Starlight slowly pushed the sex toy further inside.
“Oh, Starlight,” Trixie groaned as the pair separated, catching their breath. “Give me more! Please, give me more!”
“Your wish is my command!” Flicking the toy’s intensity switch to the next level, Starlight felt Trixie heave beneath her, rubbing their bare skin together. With masterful precision, Starlight wiggled the toy inside Trixie’s vagina, her free hand squeezing Trixie’s butt.
“Oh, ah! Oh, ah!” Trixie moaned, too lost in her orgasmic convulsions to form coherent speech. As Starlight felt the toy rubbing against Trixie’s engorged clit, she switched it all the way up to maximum.
“OOOH!” Trixie called, clenching her legs and grinding against it.
“Cum for me, Trixie!” Starlight whispered in her ear. “Take it all in.”
“Oh! I’m— I’m gonna—AAAAAAH!” With one final push, Trixie’s cervical muscles contracted so hard, she almost pushed Starlight off from the force of her bucking hips. Biting her lip, Trixie rode out the second, third and fourth orgasm waves rippling through her body.
When Starlight pulled the toy out, it was covered in so much cum, some of it dripped onto her fingers. “I’m gonna need another tissue,” she said, switching off the dildo.
“Ja-jacket p-pocket,” Trixie stuttered, feeling light headed after such a powerful experience.
Wiping down both the toy and her fingers, something else caught Starlight’s eye. “Hey, Trixie,” she said in a sing-song voice.
Trixie looked up and saw Starlight sitting next to her, wearing her magician’s hat. “Think it suits me?” Starlight asked.
“It looks perfect on you,” Trixie said, blushing as she rested her head in Starlight’s lap, prompting Starlight to stroke her hair.
And so, the two rested there, once more locking eyes as they basked in the post-sex romantic high. “So, how was it?” Starlight asked.
“It was one heck of a show,” Trixie said in a wispy voice. “Not to mention that grand finale!”
Starlight chuckled, her already rosy cheeks deepening in colour. “We should do this more often. Just you and me, backstage, sharing our bodies.”
“That sounds like a spectacular idea,” Trixie replied. “I can’t think of anything better than spending time with my number one assistant, the Great and Powerful: Starlight Glimmer!”
“Wow,” Starlight said, her grin radiant. “You really mean that?”
“Trixie does not lie about this kind of thing!”
“I love you so much, Trixie.”
“I love you too, Starlight.”
Shuffling down to her girlfriend’s level, the two shared a quick peck on the lips before settling in to a warm cuddle. By the time the sun set, the two magic lovers would return to their homes, knowing that tomorrow was not just the start of a new day, but a new life as better persons together.
