Trixie glanced one more time behind her at the beautiful castle of Cantorlot as she made her way in the moonlight garden of the castle. Trixie was curious about what had gone into the garden, it seemed like a shadow-like creature but of course Trixie's curiousity got the best of her as she growled agitated by the thorns that pricked her endlessly. Trixie finally paused in a small moonlight area of the garden as she saw something scurrying under the bushes. Trixie giggled sweetly as she saw a scale-like tail emerge from under the bushes as she poked it, careful not to alarm it as it started to stir and causing the whole bush to ruffle. At that moment Trixie screamed instantly at the sight of the horrid beast she laid eyes on, it was a Cocatrice. Trixie immediatly started to hypervantilate as the Cocatrice let out an ear-piercing scream that made Trixie almost deaf, she had heard of this sickening beast from pony tales but she could never imagine being face-to-face with it.

"Think fast, Trixie!!" Trixie whispered to herself frightened to death as she merely dodged its wing that it used as a knife, Trixie gasped as she spotted a large tree branch as she rolled over to it swiftly and pointed the sword-like branch at the Cockatrice's body. Of course, Trixie had her eyes closed the whole time but her hearing was truely amazing as she could hear every move the Cockatrice took. Trixie finally aimed to where he thought he was and threw the tree branch like a speeding rocket but instead of hearing the Cocatrice's final screams she heard a diffrent creature tackle the Cockatrice as she could hear it fall dead with a thump on the ground.

"You can open your eyes now, Miss" Trixie heard a gentle voice that sounded much like a stallion's voice as she shot open her eyes in pure disbelieve. Her eyes revealed a handsome prince with a sparkling yellow mane and a shiny coat but under his hooves he had pinned the Cockatrice dead as a doornail. Trixie cleared her throat akwardly as the stallion just gazed at her warmly with soft, sky blue eyes that glistened with satisfaction at her stunning moves and her confident behavior.

"I see you look very beautiful in the moonlight, did you like the night-time too?" The stallion asked starting a romantic conversation as Trixie shook her head snapping back to reality as she managed to reply,

"Wait what?" The stallion just laughed deep in his throat like the laugh your grandfather always did as Trixie sighed dreamily.

"So may i ask for your name, Princess?" The stallion questioned her again warmly as Trixie's heart beat skip 2 times as faster as before, she almost forgot to reply as she grinned ear to ear in a silly-looking way.

"It is Trixie Lulamoon, but you can just call me Trixie if you like" Trixie finally replied as he smiled and made his way closer to her, completely ignoring the limp and dead Cockatrice under his hooves as his full attention was on the most ravishing mare in all of Cantorlot according to him. 

"W-what is your name?" Trixie stuttered in embarressment as he lifted up her hoof daintly as he lightly kissed it and replied,

"It is Prince Blueblood, your highnesss" Trixie's heart soared once again all the way up to Cloudsdale as she sighed dreamily and giggled cutely.

"Would you like to go inside, i will tell my aunt that you would like a private dining room for eating with me" Prince Blueblood exclaimed while Trixie nodded certainly not going to miss this chance as he lead her inside for a dining expierence she would never forget.
