Trixike Rebooted

"An hour," Spike said as he pulled himself out of the water and checked the hourglass "Give or take a minute or two,"

"Hm," was Trixie's only reply as she rung out her cape, her eye's moving from the hour glass to the Rings "Trixie is wondering, why is it we aren't snapping back together?"

"Maybe they need to recharge?" Spike replied "Or maybe they need to be taken off and put back on, so that the two who had fused don't just immediately snap back together?" Spike and Trixie took them off and snapped them back on, when nothing happened they tried swapping both the ear they snapped it on and the rings themselves.

"Since she is still Trixie, Trixie is going to say that your first guess was probably the correct one,"

"Spike must agree," There was a moment of silence as Trixie looked at Spike in shock, who had slapped his hands over his mouth.

"Did you just...?" Trixie asked in shock.

"I did," Spike confirmed "I didn't even do it on purpose, the words just came out like that," Trixie gave him a large grin,

"That is amazing, Trixie has always wanted a friend that has the same vocal tones as she! Do it again!"

"The Vocal tones of Spike are..." Spike stopped talking for a moment, an irritated look on his face as he tried again "My speech pattern's are mine to control and Twilight would kill me if i started talking in the third person," Spike looked over at Trixie's sparking eyes and turned the situation on her. "I bet you won't be smiling when you start talking in the first person!" That killed Trixie's buzz.

"Oh, no! What if Trixie loses her flair! It would kill her act!!!" Spike sighed as he began walking away from the Swimming hole.

"We can panic over the side effects later, Your cart should be ready to be pulled from the shop, lets go pay for it and set it up,"

Fluttershy and Rainbow where at the cottage, drawing up a plan to catch the Lizard Pony .

"It could be an ancient Kirin," Rainbow said with a smile "It certainly looks close enough," Rainbow jumped to another tangent without hesitation "Maybe some ancient dragons got it on with Ponies!"

"It could be a sub species that went extinct," Fluttershy added. "Maybe Ponies and Dragons where once the same thing, then they diverged into Ponies and Dragons, and the Dragon Pony Hybrid is a evolutionary predecessor that died out," As they where throwing theories up in the air Fluttershy was carefully making a mix plate of an assortment of Veggies and several different kinds of gems, as she was preparing the bait Rainbow was making sure her camera's flash was off and checking if Fluttershy's quills had a solid point before putting them in a container next to a few ink bottles

"So it what was it doing?" Rainbow questioned as she finished backing the bag.

"I was out on a walk looking for a good picnic spot for next week when I heard a loud echoing crack, I rushed to the spot to make sure no animals where harmed and there I saw it, just casually picking up the tree and trying to put it back on the stump, I got closer, stepped on a twig and the moment it saw me it just dissapered, I rushed to tell you what had happened and...well here we are now," Rainbow thought of that for a moment before turning to Fluttershy.

"That's a little odd," Fluttershy shrugged.

"I'm sure she had a good reason for doing it,"

"Dang," Spike muttered as he emptied his saving's onto the counter "Trixie you need to get some Insurance or something,"

"Trixie is working on it," She shot back as she hooked herself up to her cart "Cart insurance is a pain in the ass and Trixie need to constantly focus on updating her act to stay in the business," Spike didn't reply to her as he was confident she'd turn it into an half hour argument about her work, once Spike had sufficiently spent all his savings on all the bills Trixie was behind on for her cart he walked back to her and together they headed out to set her up at her new living site, as they made their way into the somewhat barren streets of Ponyville Spike looked at her with a side glance.

"What do you think Fluttershy's gonna do?" Trixie didn't look back as most of her attention was on making sure she didn't hit anything with her cart but did had a reply.

"She'll probably tell one or more of the others and go one a mission to befriend Trixike and learn more about what we are,"

"We could just explain everything to them," Spike before frowning "But Twilight would probably take 'em away and study them to try and figure them out,"

"Giving them to her would be the responsible thing to do," Trixie added, the two looked at each other for a moment before smiling. "But Trixie simply enjoys breathing fire to much to give them up,"

"And magic is super awesome, we just made that the Sand timer appear, I don't think that's even a preexisting spell it's just something we did!" As the two talked about how much power they had as Trixike they made their way to the Spot Trixie had picked out to be the resting place of the cart. Once they arrived to the spot their conversation had shifted.

"I'm pretty sure that clearing is probably going to be the main spot of Fluttershy's probably investigation."

"Trixie has confident that as Trixike we can grab the tree and be back here before Fluttershy even notices us," Trixie gave Spike a smile as she unhooked herself as Spike set up several blocked to keep the cart from rolling.

"Sure," Spike said once he was done "But what the hell do you want the tree for?"

"Trixie is sure that using Trixike she could put a spell of the tree, not sure witch one, but one that can make it a marvel at her next show, maybe cast a spell so that when I touch it turns to bubbles, or maybe a spell that lets Trixie cut it into the shape of herself during the show, or-" Spike cut her off as he pulled his ring out.

"Just snap on the ring and then let Trixike think something up. Trixie pulled the Ring out of her pocket and snapped it on. In a flash Trixike was looking down at the roof of the cart with a smile as she took Trixie's hat off and placed it on the door, a signal to Starlight should she come by that Trixie was taking a beauty nap.

"Maybe I can have burst into butterflies that fly over to a stand where they can then be purchased by the audience," She tapped her chin as she began the walk around ponyville back to the clearing. "Would ponies buy that, I'm sure some of them would but I doubt I could unload a tree's worth."

"All set?" Fluttershy asked as she put the Gem salad on the Jagged Tree stump, the tree that the creature had tried to prop back up had fallen back down almost immediately after it left and had brought down a much smaller tree in the process. Above the clearing Rainbow lay hidden in the clouds with a Camera ready to snap a picture should the creature show up.

"As Set as I can be," Rainbow replied as Fluttershy moved to her hiding spot in the bushes and pulled out her own camera. "This could take ages," Rainbow muttered when they heard a voice humming, the voice was an odd pitch and Rainbow couldn't for the life of her determine if it was a male or a female singing, leaves started rustling as the owner of the humming got closer, then the creature steeped into the clearing, Fluttershy had descried it to her but Rainbow was still shocked if nothing else by how accurate Fluttershy had described it. The Creature gave the clearing a once over before smiling and walking to the fallen tree, it leaned over to grab it when it noticed the bowl and stared at it in confusion before picking it up and staring around the clearing before setting the bowl down gingerly and picking the tree up like it way nothing, all the while Rainbow and Fluttershy where taking as many pictures as they could when suddenly the Creature spoke.

"Trixike appreciates the offer but declines it, also," She pointed directly at Fluttershy, then to the Cloud where Rainbow Dash was "I can hear your Camera's clicking," With that she lit her horn and teleported away with the tree, Fluttershy and Rainbow stood in silence before Rainbow groaned.

"Great, we find an ancient creature and it's basically super Trixie," Rainbow shook her head "It's name even sounds similar to hers," Rainbow lay in clouds as Fluttershy looked at the spot it had been in with amazement.

"It's Speak's Equestrian,"

"And in random Third person no less," Rainbow called back.

"Oh this is so exciting!" Fluttershy cheered.

Trixike teleported back to the cart and set the tree down, shrinking it with her magic as she did so and sat down next to the cart before propping herself against a tree and waited for the fusion to come undone, all the while pondering what to do with the tree.
