After the Limelight Fades

by 8_Bit
With another successful performance of their travelling magic show behind them, Trixie and Starlight prepare to settle in for the night.

Life on the road is tough. Travelling every day and performing every night is a herculean effort that even somepony like Starlight Glimmer had grossly underestimated. In it, she found a newfound respect for Trixie, for whom this was simply the normal routine to which she lived her life, for years on end.

With another successful performance done, dusted and wrapped up in a bow, Trixie and Starlight retire to Trixie's caravan for a well earned rest.

Trixie, however, has an idea she wants to pitch to Starlight before they go to sleep.
