Trixie and Starlight Travel to Chukotka
Chapter 3: A Loud Night
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was already pretty late after Trixie and Starlight have finished their gross and chaotic feast. It was 22 o' clock and Starlight was feeling tired.
"Well, I think it's time to go to bed," Starlight said after she had yawed.
"What?" Trixie confusingly asked her, "It's not even that late, plus I still have quite a lot energy in me."
"Well I don't," Starlight replied to her with a tired voice, "why don't you also go to sleep as well? You have been up late for more than enough times by now Trix. Come on, we can still do other things tomorrow."
"No Starlight!" Trixie assertively replied to her, "How should I even sleep when I'm not feeling tired at all? I'm a night pony Starlight, I even have a moon on my cutie mark. Why don't you get used to your best friends sleep schedule and stay awake for a little bit longer?"
Starlight really did not wanted to stay awake for any longer and was still a little bit mad towards Trixie, because of the disgusting food she has forced her to eat.
"I don't want to stay up any longer," Starlight replied grumpy, "but well, since you aren't feeling tired, why don't you just go out for yourself and do things alone. You are alone, pretty much always when I'm not there with you anyway."
"Honestly Starlight," Trixie replied back to her, "that's not a bad idea. You can go to sleep, while I can do some other exiting things for myself. In fact, I already know what I can do out there without you."
"Good, that means I can make myself ready for bed, where as you can let out the energy, you have in you," Starlight agreed and replied.
"Well then," Trixie smugly responded back to her, "it's time for Trixie to go out again," and took the key of their hotel room and her suitcase with her.
"Why are you taking your suitcase with you?" Starlight asked to her, in light confusion.
"For reasons that I can't tell you, Starlight," Trixie smugly replied. "I'll be back soon, bye!" she said and went out of the hotel room, opening the door and closing it behind her.
After Trixie was out of the hotel room, Starlight began to enjoy the silence.
"As much as I like Trixie, breaks of silence are definitely needed after spending some time with her." Starlight said to herself.
But before Starlight began to make herself ready for bed, she ate the final leftovers of the bread flavoured yogurt, as she tried to get rid of the final light aftertaste, that was still in her mouth from the fermented bear testicle. Afterwards, she brushed her teeth, drank the last sip of water from her bottle, turned the lights off and comfortably laid herself in one of the two beds. Her eyes slowly closed down, as she enjoyed the silence of the night and forgot about the bad thing Trixie did to her.
After she had closed down her eyes, Starlight started to hear a calm and soothing synth melody from outside. It was a slow and relaxing melody, so she didn't mind it. However, the melody also sounded quite familiar to her, almost too familiar. That was the moment where Starlight realised, what was actually going on outside.
"TRIXIE IS DOING A PERFORMANCE!!!" she screamed in shock and quickly woke up.
Afterwards, the synth music became louder and more powerful and as soon as Starlight took a look out of the window, she saw Trixie, proudly standing on a stage, wearing her magician outfit, in front of a massive crowd of humans.
"Citizens of Anadyr, watch in awe and be amazed, by the marvelous and magical talent that is the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Starlight could hear Trixie boastfully shouting through the microphone.
"Does she have to do this so late in the night, right in front of our hotel?" she furiously asked to herself while putting her hoof on her forehead.
Starlight was too tired to get angry at Trixie, so instead, she just went back in her bed and tried to sleep, despite the noisy soundscape. But even after pulling her pillow over her head, it was simply to loud for Starlight to sleep. She could hear fireworks, loud synth music, that sounded like it came straight from the 80s, Trixie's boastful talking and shouting and the human crowd loudly cheering at her, by chanting her name or sentences like, "Great and Powerful!" or, "Teacup!"
After one full hour of Trixie's boasting, loud fireworks and humans chanting, it was over. Starlight was laying sleeplessly in her bed, with an extremely tired and annoyed expression. But now, the show was finally over and she could sleep peacefully... or at least, she thought. Because as soon she closed down her eyes again, she heard a loud BAM! Trixie, who just came back from her performance, slammed the door open and turned the lights on.
"What a great and powerful performance by me, wasn't it Starlight?" Trixie excitingly asked her friend, with a smug expression, while she putted her suitcase back in the corner of the room.
Starlight's face turned red, as she angrily shouted towards her friend, "TRIXIE! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I AM TRYING TO SLEEP!?"
"Oh, sorry Starlight, I forgot about that," Trixie apologized to her, in a calmer and less smug tone, "I didn't want to wake you up."
"Wake me up?" Starlight, being slightly calmer now, yet still very mad, replied to her, "I couldn't even sleep for a second because of your ridiculously loud show!"
"Sorry Starlight," Trixie apologized to her again in a calm yet still slightly smug tone, "I didn't know you were able to hear the performance all the way up here," while she ate the rest of the canned fermented deer.
"Wasn't that kinda obvious?" Starlight asked towards her, with a tired and annoyed look on her face.
"Ok Starlight, I admit," Trixie told to her friend, as she began to realise, that Starlight couldn't sleep because of her, "perhaps I should have thought a little bit more about this, but oh well. The crowd loved it and that's what's most important as a performer!" while she continued to eat.
Despite Trixie's apology sounding a bit halfheartedly, Starlight accepted it and asked her, "Well, good thing is that you too are going to sleep now, am I right?
Trixie chuckled however and asked another question back to her friend, "Starlight, do you even know how late I go to sleep most of the time?"
"Do I even want to know that?" Starlight asked back to her, with a slightly concerning tone in her voice.
"Well let's just say," Trixie replied to her smugly, while still eating the leftover fermented deer meat, "I mostly go to sleep somewhere between 5 to 6 o' clock."
"SIX O' CLOCK?!" Starlight loudly asked her, "Are you insane?"
"Perhaps," Trixie comfortably replied. "Either way, I wanted to be calmer now anyways. All I'm going to do out there from now on, is walking around, exploring the city a bit and appreciating my own greatness," she said and ate the last bit of the fermented deer while at it.
"No Trixie," Starlight replied to her assertively, "I want you to go to bed now too. It is late enough as it is and I don't want you to wake up in the afternoon tomorrow."
"Ok fine," Trixie understandingly responded, "I can go to sleep now if you want to. I'm actually already starting to feel a bit tired too. Probably because of all the stuff we have been through today."
"Oh thanks Celestia, does that mean I can finally sleep now safe and quiet?" Starlight asked to her in relief.
"Sure you can sleep now, Starlight," Trixie happily replied to her, "the only thing that I am going to do before sleeping, is brushing my teeth."
"Well then, brush your teeth Trix, I'm just glad I can finally sleep." Starlight tiredly said to her and slowly closed her eyes afterwards.
Unfortunately for Starlight, as soon as she closed her eyes, she once again heard noises that kept her awake. Trixie was using a magical toothbrush, that was quite noisy. Fortunately, it was over after only 2 minutes. Still, Starlight stared towards Trixie with a dead expression after she walked out of the bathroom.
"Um... didn't you wanted to sleep?" Trixie asked her in light confusion.
Starlight simply replied to her, "Your magic toothbrush is somewhat noisy to say the least. How do you even brush your teeth anyway? I thought hated the taste of mint?"
Trixie replied to her, "I use a strawberry flavoured toothpaste, that doesn't have any disgusting mint taste in it. It technically is for fillies, but Trixie doesn't care about target audiences. Either way, I am now going to sleep as well, and you can finally get yours too."
"I hope," Starlight replied pessimistic, while Trixie laid herself down on the other bed.
After she closed down her eyes and tried to sleep quietly, for like the fifth time of the night, Starlight could hear Trixie silently talking in her sleep. Her sleep talking was very quiet tho, so Starlight just pulled a pillow over her head and continued to sleep. Afterwards however, Trixie's sleep talking started to become louder and louder.
"Fillies and gentlecolts, watch in awe and be amazed by the incredible talent, that is the Great and Powerful Trixie! Wait, why are you ponies booing at me? What did I do? My trailer! What are you doing to my trailer? NO! NOT MY PRECIOUS TRAILER!"
"TRIXIE, WHAT THE HAY IS WRONG IS YOU!?" Starlight woke up and furiously yelled towards Trixie, which woke her up too.
"Ugh... sorry Starlight. I just had a really awful nightmare and I just sometimes get a bit loud during my sleep when I have nightmares." Trixie replied back to her, sounding tired and exhausted.
"It's fine Trix," Starlight replied back to her, "can you just please sleep quieter now?"
"Well I can't guarantee it, but I can at least try," Trixie replied.
They both closed their eyes again and tried to sleep and fortunately for Starlight, Trixie remained quiet for the rest of the night, which meant she could finally take her long needed sleep, after a long and exhausting day.
