The Best Troller In ALL Of Equestria

Aftermath: Part 3
"Trollestia is no more!!!"

Not much changed in the world of humans, but in the world of Trollestia, things began to really turn out for the better. Now, with Luna in charge, no silly and unruly pranks were performed on the world. When the prankster princess had the throne, all the other ponies would dread their time as they knew she would make a point of pranking every last pony by the end of the day, somehow. Luna received the worst time with her, though. Day in and day out, she was forced to help her, or otherwise be pranked in the most miserable of ways by her instead. Now, with that witch out of Luna's life, the city of Canterlot enjoyed the days with no hazardous jokes.

As Luna entered the stadium in the Canterlot square pavilion, she announced, "Citizens, today is a most glorious of days! My sister, Celestia, has been vanquished, leaving me the throne. Do not fear, for I will make a point of showing you the true meaning of benevolence! Our Celestia, some know her as Trollestia, was a horrid ruler. Well, I am here to tell you something!" The crowd roared, dying to know what Luna wished to tell them. Then, in a bolsters voice, she declared, "Trollestia is no more!!!”

The crowd cheered even louder as this news struck their ears. The world of Trollestia had returned to harmony, and would remain in that state for the rest of eternity.

"I… might have a slight crush on you…"

Celestia, Luna and Twilight Sparkle appeared in their home universe. As they looked around the throne room, Celestia said, "As much as I would enjoy revelling in how much I’ve missed this place, we need to get to work. Twilight, inform the guards that we have returned and tell them we are thankfully unharmed."

Twilight nodded her head, and proceeded to do so. Celestia turned to her sister, and explained, "We have to correct the time schedule. It’s about… midnight now, so come. I'll lower the sun, and you get started with the moon."

As they approached the window, Celestia gasped at the shape of her star. Luna rolled her eyes, and snapped her sister out of her ruthless gaze. Celestia’s sun returned to its former, round structure, and meanwhile, the moon could be seen coming from a distance. Rather quickly, the sun set itself, and the moon rose to take its place. After this, Celestia said, "Alright, next, a full, widescale apology to each town from both of us. Luna, you work on filling out a report explaining what happened… only make it less… graphic than what actually happened. You know."

Luna smiled as she galloped away. In five days, things settled down. Though questions still appeared, the jist of things were explained in the world equestrian news fairly adequately. As for Twilight, there was only one, single thing left for her to do. For the past few nights, she had been dreaming about Trixie until she couldn't take it anymore. Unsure if things would work out correctly, she visited the city of Las Pegasus to search for the show mare, and see if her feelings were the same.

Searching wasn’t that difficult. Trixie had set up her stand right at the entrance. She was hopeful to catch the wandering eyes of newcomers entering or leaving town. As Twilight shifted through the dense crowd, she spotted the mare performing her usual fake, and rather unappealing tricks. Luckily, to a new audience, it was completely jaw dropping.

"And now, be amazed as the Great and Powerful Trixie shows you what it truly means to be a show stopper like no other!" As usual, Trixie was boasting about herself, talking on the third person way of speaking for the show.

Sparks flew into the air, dazzling and hypnotizing the ponies that watched in awe. Flaring blue fire glided through the air in circles, and curls. finally, as her big show stopper, all the fancy spell slinging balled up in midair, and exploded into bright, multicolored roses, and other assorted flowers. It was actually a rather simple spell that foals could learn by the age of five.

As the crowd cheered, and flattered the phony, she said, "Thank you, Thank you! Yoo're all too kind. Thank…" Her eyes fell upon Twilight Sparkle, causing her heart to sink as her worst nightmare stared back at her with a pleasant grin. "Y-y-you!" she said in shock.

As she backed away, she claimed, "Uh… t-that... is all for today…! Uh… Thanking you once again!"

She exited the stand, and entered her small caravan to hide from the purple mare. The stage folded itself into the little settlement. As the crowd slowly scattered, and then, Twilight approached Trixie's home. She proceeded to knock. As she did, she heard the ruffling of equipment. The door creaked open, and Twilight entered. Everything inside looked like simple, useless trinkets. Her eyes fell upon them first, and finally saw Trixie laying on her soft bed staring at her with a bit of envy.

"What do you want with The Great and Powerful Trixie? She wishes you to leave her immediately." Trixie's voice was stern, and signaled little enthusiasm at the sight of Twilight.

"Well… I thought you might be willing to... Y-you know… accept my apology?" Twilight asked in a modest, and hopeful tone.

"Why would The Great and Powerful Trixie be willing to accept such a small offering? She currently is furious with you. You ran Trixie out of town, and almost cost her the dream career she had been working for all her life!"

Twilight’s head lowered in self-pity. As it did, she said, "Because I’m really sorry for hurting you… That wasn’t supposed to happen like it did… I didn’t mean to hurt you, or your reputation." Her head met Trixie's eyes, and she continued, "If it’s any consolation, I tried to let you have your fun for as long as possible, but when that Ursa Minor attacked… Well… I just had to stop it. I didn’t do that because I wanted to embarrass you. I did it because I wanted to protect you."

Trixie smirked, and said, "If the Great and Powerful Trixie were stupid, she would think you had feelings for her, but that would be absurd. All you care about is hurting Trixie’s feelings, and ruining any chances she has for a good life!"

Twilight couldn’t believe this. She decided to confess, but first, she said, "Look, please stop talking in third person. It’s getting annoying. That’s first… and second… I want to tell you…" Trixie’s eyebrow raised a bit as she was almost certain this would make her day. "I want… to tell you the truth… it’s kind of hard for me to say it…"

Trixie rolled her eyes, and said, "Out with it already!"

Twilight sighed, and confessed, "I… might have a slight crush on you…"

Trixie’s eyes grew wide with delight. "Oh… OH YES! Oh this is perfectly hilarious!" she bellowed with laughter as she rolled off her bedding, and onto the wooden floor while saying, "This is just too rich! You… actually like Trixie? Oh… Trixie's rib cages are starting to hurt from this!"

Twilight backed away, and bumped into the door as she realized this was the difference in this world. Trixie had no love for her here. She never did, and she probably never would. Trixie got to her feet, wiped a small teardrop away from her eyes while still smiling, and said, "Oh… Oh, Trixie can’t believe this… This is… It's just too much!" She chuckled in between words every now and then, acting as though it was some comedy show. "Twilight, don’t think for a second that you… Oh, wow… Don’t think for a second that you have any chance with the Great and Powerful Trixie."

"But, I thought you might-"

Now becoming serious with her words, Trixie interrupted Twilight by saying, "Trixie despises you more so than any other pony in all of Equestria! She considers you her arch nemesis! You will never understand how much she truly loathe your being…" The final words were like a dagger that ripped Twilight’s fragile heart right out of her chest. "You make Trixie sick!"

Trembling, and knocking her knees together with sorrow, Twilight bawled worse than ever. Trixie stopped her ranting, and starred at the sad mare. "What is this!? You’re crying? HA! This entertains Trixie more so than that ridiculous excuse for a joke you were just trying to play on her!"

Though Twilight could hear her, all she could do was cry. Trixie stopped talking to realize these tears were real, and that she was making a complete fool of herself.

"Wait, you’re… serious? You actually… like Trixie?" The showmare had never had an admirer like Twilight before, so she thought it was all just a prank. Now, however, taking into account of the fact that Twilight was literally crying, and not even responding with a reply to Trixie's insults, she felt the distinctly horrible feeling one receives when they've finally realized that they've done something despicably wrong. Guilt overcame the showmare, and sent her mind into a deep, dark sorrow of regret. Walking to Twilight, she said, "How could Trixie be so blind as to not see the truth? Now she feel worse than the first time you showed her up… Please, Twilight, stop your pouting."

Of course, Twilight couldn’t stop now even if she tried. The harsh words spoken by the pony she adored had torn her soul apart. Trixie, having little feelings for her still saw past that, and knew what she would have to do to end this bad event. Trixie wrapped her hooves around Twilight's back, and said, "Come now, Trixie didn’t mean it. She thought you were just being funny by playing a joke on her, or something."

Twilight sobbed, and coughed, "But, I was being s-serious. I thought you might have felt the same way about me… So, I came, and saw you perform... And now… Now…"

She buried her head into her arms as she wailed in anguish. Trixie bit her bottom lip knowing she had just messed up in the worst of ways. All the show mare could really do now was let Twilight cry it out. A good thirty to forty minutes had passed, and soon, Twilight stopped her sobs. Trixie led her to the bed, though Twilight walked in a half dazed, zombie like strut. As she laid down to rest, Trixie laid behind her, and tenderly warmed her with hugs. "Now, please, don’t cry again. I’m sorry, and I accept your apology as well… This may require some getting used to, but… I think I can work with this. Although, I’ve never loved a mare before, I guess I can broaden my horizons a bit for you. Just, please don’t get the idea that I like you. Even though I accept your friendship, I don’t welcome your love for me… yet."

Twilight forced a smile as she laid there with Trixie. It was a start, but eventually, just like a flower emerging from a crack in the concrete sidewalk, it would blossom.
