Endless
Chapter 2: Trixie's Mental Health Deflates
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next morning, Trixie woke up around 9:30 A.M., but couldn't get herself to come out of her room.
"Trixie, it's time for breakfast!" Starlight chirped, "Rise and shine!"
"I'll be out in a minute. I didn't sleep very well last night," Trixie said.
"OK. Just take your time, Trixie," said Starlight, trotting over to the table.
Twilight Sparkle and her student, Luster Dawn, gave Starlight concerned looks.
"Is everything alright, Mom?" Luster Dawn asked.
"I'm just worried about Trixie," Starlight replied, "She's never like this!"
"She's your friend," Luster remarked, "Isn't it important to check in with them to see what's wrong?"
"But what if she won't listen to me?" Starlight cried, "What if she just wants me to leave her alone so she can just bottle her feelings up even more?" Starlight sighed as she made her way to Trixie's bedroom door, which flung open the second she arrived.
Trixie trotted out with her head hung low, moving past Starlight as she made her way to the table.
"Trixie!" Starlight said.
"Good morning, Starlight," Trixie said, "How are you this morning?"
"What's wrong,Trixie? " Starlight said, "If anything, you can tell me."
"You wouldn't understand," Trixie said, turning away with tears in her eyes.
"Of course I would. I'm your best friend," said Starlight, "Why wouldn't I understand?"
Trixie sighed. "It's Twilight. I never knew why she never liked me. Sure, we had our differences when we met, but that's all behind us now."
"If you just tried to reason with Twilight, I'm sure she'll understand," Starlight said.
Not Me Lyrics
Trixie: Starlight, what the hell?
Do you really think that things'll go well
For me?
First things first
I take the Alicorn Amulet
Because I want others to notice me
Because they never do
And then she
Gets all mad at me
And we have a Magic Duel
Mostly my idea
But a duel
With that amulet
I was endless
Indestructible
But now
Where's that Twilight now?
She's busy being a little princess
Running The School of Friendship
Plus Equestria
While I only have one friend
She has many
Is this where my story ends?
Starlight, what the hell?
Why do you think that this will work out well?
She's never liked me before
Stuck in hell evermore
I can't stand it anymore!
She's never liked me anyway
But that's gonna change today!
I'll show her who's boss
But who?
It certainly won't be me
Not me
Trixie
She won't trust me
No damn way
She never liked me anyway
Starlight: It's never too late to try
You'll find the reason why!
Trixie: No, I won't go
I won't journey onwards
Unless I absolutely have to
Not me
She'll never trust a pony like - - -
Not me
Not me
Not me
Trixie
Starlight, what the hell?
Why do you think that this will work out well?
She's never liked me before
Stuck in hell evermore
I can't stand it anymore!
She's never liked me anyway
But that's gonna change today!
I'll show her who's boss
But who?
It certainly won't be me
Not me
Trixie
She won't trust me
No damn way
She never liked me anyway
She makes me feel so powerless
Like a deflated balloon falling from the sky
These feelings I can't deny
I'm endless
Starlight (spoken): Endless? I didn't know that was an emotion.
Trixie (spoken): Shut it, Starlight. You wanted to know and you're the only one who's never doubted me.
Starlight (spoken): Alright, alright. I'm sorry. Carry on.
(Sung): But I have one question for you:
Why are you pretending to be
Somepony you're not?
Trixie: She can't notice
Can't blow my cover
Then she'll distrust me even more
Believe me, that much I'm sure
She won't be seeing me
When I get done with her
Starlight (spoken): What was that?
Trixie (spoken): Nothing. (nervous laugh)
Starlight (spoken): OK I believe you.
Trixie: It won't be me she's seeing
I long to be adored
Stop being misunderstood
And be understood
Twilight will finally realise
Not me
She'll never trust a pony like - - -
Not me
Not me
Not me
That's why I must be
Not true to myself
I won't be me
'Cause she'll never trust Trixie!
What the hell is wrong with me?
She'll never trust a pony like me
If I be somepony who I'm
Not supposed to be
It won't be me
Feeling so endless
Not me
Trixie
"I'm glad you told me," said Starlight, hugging Trixie.
Starlight then noticed a piece of paper that Trixie was holding. "What's that?" Starlight asked.
"Nothing!" Trixie said, stuffing it into her cape pocket.
She went on to eat breakfast.
