chapter 3
surprise, surprise
A few days later, Trixie's mother and grandmother came back to aunt magic's house to pick up the blue unicorn.
"But I don't want to go home!" The blue filly whined as she raced over to her aunt's side, "I wanna stay with them!"
Northern Lights sighed before running over to her grandfilly, "Sweetie. You must come home! We have a surprise for you!"
"Yeah and I think your going to like it!" Trixie's mother, silver, rushed over to her daughter next.
"Really? What is it!?"
"You'll see!" Northern smiled as Trixie's face lit up with excitement.
Trixie stopped to think for a minute. "Alright fine." The blue unicorn turned around and gave her aunt a hug, then she raced over and gave Uncle Card a hug too. "But it's only because I want to see the surprise." The little filly snorted and then walked out of the door and over to the dirt path.
"Thanks again sis." Silver smiled at her sister before leaving the big white mansion.
"Mother. Where's Pixie?"
"We took her home so she could get your surprise set up." said Silver.
"You did what!?" Trixie growled and stomped her hooves on the ground, "Pixie hates me! Why would you let her set up my "surprise" why!?"
Silver looked taken aback, "Your sister loves you very much, darling."
"Mom don't. You don't see or understand what I go through because your to busy with work or drooling at your precious foal, Pixie!" Trixie snorted in anger. It's always about Pixie! My surprise is probably a toy from the cereal box!
Northern Lights shook her head in pity.
It took awhile before the dirt paths changed into the streets of Balitmare. "Sweetheart we're almost home. Do you want to know what your surprise is now or later?" Silver stopped in front of her daughter and waited for an answer.
"Later."
The older mare looked at her daughter with confusion, "Are you serious? You don't want to know what your getting?"
"Yes... I'm serious."
"That's unlike you."
"How should you know?" Snapped Trixie.
When Trixie and the rest of her household reached their house she stopped and waited for her mother to catch up. "Okay. Where is this "surprise" of yours?" Trixie turned to face her mother as she waited for a response.
"It's upstairs in your bedroom. I promise you Pixie didn't ruin anything." Silver smiled at her daughter before turning back to her tired grandmother.
"Thank you mother."
The blue unicorn raced up the stairs and then ran into her room.
"How do you like it sis?" Pixie smiled as if nothing was bothering her.
"I-I love it!" The small filly smiled at her newly refurbished room.
Trixie's room was better than her dream room. There were glow-in-the-dark stars and moons sprinkled out on her ceiling. There was a bookshelf that was full of magic book and unicorn history. Her bed had a picture of Starswirled The Bearded on it. Her walls were painted blue and there was a case holding her magician hat and cape in it, since that was her prize possession. White curtains covered her windows and there were a few plushies at the top of her bed where she would put her head when she went to sleep. The best part of the room was the light brown desk that held a picture of her father on either side of it.
"I truly love it, Pixie."
The pink unicorn laughed, "Good. Cause you better love it while you can." whispered Pixie.
"Wait what?"
"Oh nothing." Pixie laughed once more before trotting out of the room.
Trixie sighed, "I guess nothing really changed after all..." Trixie sighed unhappily.
About 30 minutes later Trixie runs downstairs just to be tripped by Pixie. "Ouch! My horn!"
The pink unicorn giggled at her sister, "Aw did you hurt your wittle horn?" Pixie pointed at her sister and then glared at her, "Well to bad."
Trixie's mother ran upstairs, "What happened?" The older mare frowned as she saw Trixie rubbing her horn.
"Oh momma! Trixie fell and hurt her horn! I was so worried, but she wouldn't let me help her!" Pixie ran up to her mother and hugged her, "Is she going to be okay?"
"I don't know sweetheart." Silver hugged her oldest daughter before walking over to her youngest daughter. Trixie's mother helped her youngest daughter up and led her into the kitchen. The little filly winced as her mother cleaned her wounds with alcohol.
"Momma is Trixie going to be okay?" Pixie started to slightly cry.
"Trixie will be just fine. She's just a little bruised."
"Oh good! I don't know if I could live with myself if she was seriously hurt!" The pink filly stopped crying and hugged her sister as their mother left the kitchen. "Thanks a lot, Runt! You almost got me in trouble!" Trixie's pink sister hissed before whacking her with tail.
"Ouch! What have I ever done to you?" Trixie hopped off of the counter and faced her sister, Pixie.
"Oh! Absolutely nothing! Your just fun to bully." Pixie laughed.
The little blue unicorn rubbed her left cheek, "Geez! You don't have to be so mean." The filly walked back up to her room and locked the door. "Well I don't care if nopony in my family likes me!" Trixie walked over to her bookshelf and grabbed a book named, Magic Tricks For Beginners. "The Great and Powerful Trixie will show them!" The blue unicorn smiled, "I'm going to start saying that more often!" said Trixie. The Great and Powerful Trixie! The little filly thought to herself as she begun practicing some magic tricks.
