Epilogue: Four weeks later. Or a Ponyville Party!!

Trixie had to admit, things were looking much better for her. She had found some new confidence while in Canterlot, and even better than that, had found somepony she cared about in the form of Blue Blood. She was now at Ponyville, as the Mare of Honor at a party being thrown for her by Pinkie Pie. Trixie had never seen one of Pinkie's parties, nor had she ever been invited to one, but she could see that Pinkie had real talent at parties. There were games, and food and prizes for every mare, stallion and foal, and Trixie even got an opportunity to preform a magic show for the little fillies and colts, all of whom were amazed and wowed by the show. That helped. A lot. Trixie felt like she had finally found the parts of herself she had lost along the way, and was overjoyed to find them.

All of Twilight's friends were at least kind if not actually friendly, but that was okay. They weren't suspicious of her motives, or of her actions. Rarity even pointed out that Trixie had spent a fair bit of money at her Canterlot Boutique and that she had been professional the entire time, even when Rarity had been rude to her. Twilight was even willing to talk with Trixie and they had a long private conversation about that night in the club.

As things turned out, Twilight and Shining Armor had to stop at the Archives on the way to the Castle so that Twilight could find a morning after spell and, for future reference, a contraceptive spell or two, just to be on the safe side. Twilight wouldn't go into it more than that, but in that conversation, she and Trixie had made the first steps and done a fair bit of repair work on their relationship, and it showed. By the time Trixie left late that evening to head back to Canterlot, Twilight's friends and Twilight herself seemed reluctant and sad to see her go. Pinkie even made sure to send Trixie home with most of the left over food and snacks, which Trixie was appreciative of. There was even a care package of things fromthe party for her to share with Blue Blood, Luna and Celestia, which Trixie promised to share with them as soon as they were all in the same room.

Things had finally gotten back on track for her, and she couldn't wait to see what would happen next in her life now that she had found friendship, love, courage and confidence. If she was lucky, she would get more friends, become successful as a performing magician again, and maybe even get... married. She shook her head as the carriage that Blue Blood had sent her in was taking her back to Canterlot. There were so many possibilities and if things continued to improve for her, then she would have the chance to explore them all. The thought of that sent a shiver down her spine. But, as the carriage set down in the Castle landing area, she stepped out to her waiting stallionfriend.

Now, it's her time.
