((Resuming normal posting, I'll fix up the other chapters eventually.))

Trixie has spent the majority of her life putting a show on for other ponies. But her visit to Ponyville changed that completely, to the point that she was ready to give up on life itself.

Until a pony from Vanhoover gives her a second chance…

Embracing the opportunity provided to her, Trixie begins to rebuild her life in a new, and better way. When tragedy strikes the northern town however, all her work is ruined. Everything points back to Twilight Sparkle as the one pony who can help her start again. Without suffering another crushing loss…

Twilight has never had much interest in relationships. Her studies have always come at the highest priority, the end goal has always been to be the best student Celestia has taught to date. When Trixie arrives however, how long will she hold onto the idea that she is above love itself?
