Will of Fire

Chapter 12 - Dear Lightning...

By: TheXIIILightning

Dear Lightning.

I hope you're fine and all, but I'll still follow the promise I made before we got separated. Also, if anypony besides Lightning is reading this letter, stop immediately or I'll fi- I stopped reading in this small section, Sunshine's vocabulary can be a bit... Extensive.

Grandpa Corral, Little Bolt and I safely made it out of the Everfree Forest. I'm sorry for not writing to you sooner, but a massive storm brewed up over the forest, and all Pegasus carried mail had to be delayed.
Grandpa Corral was kind enough to offer me some work on the farm, at least until the next caravan towards Ponyville departed. I'm assuming you're there, it's the only town near the Everfree forest, that's in the direction of my compass.
Even if the letter doesn't get to you, you'll see the real me in a day or two. I'm sending this letter ahead by a Courier, he should arrive a lot sooner than us.

I managed to get us some spending bits on the farm, that should keep us afloat until the next job. Little Bolt is a really nice kid, he really likes you. He asked me to say hi. I noticed a small change in muzzle-writing, it's a bit more messier than Sunshine's. Hello Mr. Lightning! I really liked the flying lesson, I hope you visit soon, I'd like you to teach my little brother too! I felt a little more proud of myself, he's a cool kid. I hope Sunshine covered the first part of the letter... The muzzle-writing changed again.
That reminds me, part of the reason I stayed longer, was because his mother had a foal while they were gone, a pegasus like he said. I hope you don't mind but they needed the help, and we the bits.

Now about the reason we were going there.
I quickly scanned the rest of the letter, to see if it was safe to read out loud. It was, and I continued with a smile.
I managed to track her down to a local bar, she's been performing there for a month now. I had a pleasant talk with her and we both came to an agreement.
She did not only agree to help us with you know what.
She agreed to tag along with us!
I'll fill you in on the details when I find you, but can you believe it!?

You, me and Trixie are together again! Just like before!

See you soon, your favorite pony.
Sunshine

I finished reading the letter, I was so happy that I could have tore open an hole in the ceiling just by jumping! She actually managed to convince Trixie to join us, hay, I was afraid that she wouldn't recognize us after all these years. But that's Sunshine for ya. I looked over at my audience with a foolish grin and I was slightly scared of what I was seeing.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash showed signs of contained anger. Twilight had her jaw open, giving worried glances at Rarity and those two. Rarity was surprised like Twilight, but her eyes were more like Applejacks, angry. Pinkie Pie was still her usual self, but she seemed different, like she was protecting Fluttershy. I could see very little of Fluttershy, she was using her mane AND Pinkie has a shield. I wonder why...

"Girls?" I asked. "Is something wrong?" My grin fell, now I had a slight frown.

"This here Trixie chara'ter..." Applejack started, gritting her teeth. "Is she ah unicorn with a bright blue coat?"

"Yes." I said.

"And does she..." Rainbow started, behaving much like Applejack. "Does she speak in the third person?"

"Yes, I think she still does." I frowned a bit more, why where they behaving like this...

"Does she, by any chance, wear an horribly outdated cape or hat?" Rarity asked, her eye twitching.

"I don't know about the quality of her wardrobe, but she wore a cape in the poster I saw." I don't like where this is going...

They all looked at each other.

"Does she happen to call herself..." Rarity started, and the others followed.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie." They all slowly spat the name.

"Yes." I seriously don't like where this is going...

"Are ya out of yer freakin' turnips!!" Applejack yelled.

Oh boy...

End of Chapter 12

Yes, The Great and Powerful Trixie is coming to this story.

Where is your God now!?

Now for the Hype. *Ahem*

Sunshine is coming to Ponyville with Trixie.

Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash still hold a grudge.

How will Lightning deal with this situation?

Find out in the next chapter of...
