It has been three long, pain filled years since Twilight had a glimpce of Rick. She was now spending her days researching Canterlot's library on dimensional travel and unknown species. But for years she hasn't found anything useful. What if it was all just a hallucination or something created in her mind by impact?
But she kept on reading, scavanging every piece of information across Equestria that she could get her hooves on.
Twilight was now sitting in a middle of a study room in Canterlot, books, notepads, pieces of paper and scrivbles were around her. The whole room was a mess, that's when Spime came in, the door slowly creaking open, revealing a medium sized dragon.
"Twilight, you haven't slept in weeks, you haven't even talked to your friends, anyway you have a visitor." Spike dissappeared from sight, after a few seconds Trixie entered the study room.
Twilight looked up in surprise.
"T-Trixie?" Twilight tilted her head. Trixie trotted over to Twilight, taking a seat next to her.
"Trixie is sor-" her speech was cutoff by herself, she realized that she was speaking in third person. She cleared her throat and began.
"Twilight, you've been here for years. You need to communicate with somepony, we're fearing for your own health. We want yo-." Trixie was interrupted rudely by Rainbow Dash. Her body and wings had grown in size and beauty.
"You need to get a life, egghead." Rainbow frowned.
"I know how to take care of myself." Twilight protested.
"By wasting your precious life on books?" Rainbow eyed Twilight.
"Rainbow is right, Twi, 'ya need ta git a life." Applejack entered the room and stood next to Rainbow Dash. Same as Dash she had grown in size and beauty. Twilight frowned and lowered her head. "So I guess my friends are against me, thought as much." Twilight sighed. Trixie placed a hoof on her shoulder. "Twilight, we're not against you, we're with you." Trixie smiled. Twilight shrugged Trixie off. "Please, just leave me alone, you're only making it worse." Twilight buried her head into her front hooves.
Trixie, Applejack and Rainbow Dash exchanged glances, and nodded in agreement. "Okay Twi, we'll leave 'ya alone, jus' ta explain yerself ta Princess Celestia, have a nice day." Applejack turned around and walked out. "I thought you were beter than that, egghead." Rainbow did the same as Applejack. Trixie stood up. "Okay Twilight, I'll see you in a few years..." Trixie's words trailed off as she exited the room.
Twilight was alone again, her friends only tried to help her overcome her problems, but she's denying it. All that was on her mind was Rick Anderson, the Marine that arrived and left. Looks like he made a 'mistaken arrival' for the worse. He had ruined a perfectly smart unicorn's life, he broke it into pieces, which left them for her to collect. All night, all day, all week, all.month, it proceeded into years, will Twilight be like this for the rest of her life, desperate and heartbroken, lonely and friendless?
At least that's what she thought, she had friends to support her, to help her out in any situation she was in. She wasn't friendless, they were her loyal friends.
Twilight sighed in defeat as she dropped her head, sobbing quietly, until she broke out. Tears began rolling from her eyes, down to her cheeks and into the wooden floor, the wood absorbed the wet moisture.
Trixie was still outside, she was about to leave until she heard somepony crying. It was Twilight. Trixie quickly entered the room and saw Twilight in emotional pain. Trixie's reaction was to run over to Twilight and comfort her in any way possible. She did as her brain insisted. Trixie slowly took a seat next to the emotionally broken unicorn.
"Shhh...it's alright, don't need to break yourself." Trixie nuzzled Twilight's neck in comfort. "Shhh...quiet now, I'm here, everything's going to be alright, I promise." Trixie's warm words calmed Twilight down to a sobbing state, Twilight leaned against Trixie's side, taking in the warmth. "T-thank you, Trixie." For the first time in months Twilight smiled, Trixie wrapped a hoof around Twilight, snuggling her closer.
"Tell me what's bothering you Twi." Trixie started.
"I-it's Rick..." Twilight said bluntly. "Who is Rick?" Trixie asked. "It's a long s-story, and I'm preety tired right now. Maybe some other time?" Twilightbl yawned. "Sure, whatever you wish." Trixie began to stand up, only go be interrupted by Twilight. "Wait! C-could you stay, I'm feeling kinda..." she trailed off. "Lonely?" Trixie position herself comfortably next to Twilight. "Thanks, Twixie." She giggled, and Trixie quickly blushed at her nickname. "Twi, d-don-... I like it." they both smiled.
Soon, sleep was taking their visions away, Twilight was the first one to fall asleep, followed by Trixie.
They were warmly snuggled against eachother, supporting their weight, the study room's fireplace illuminated their bodies in the dark room. Both with smiles on their faces, warming eachother.
"Looks like Trixie and Twilight are finally getting along, hope that helps her out a bit." Dash spied on them through the door's keyhole. "Ain't that cute, do you think that Twi is a fillyfooler?" Dash looked at Applejack.
"Whatever makes 'er happy, Ah jus' wanna see 'er happy. Don't you Rainbow?" Applejack smiled at Rainbow Dash. "Yep, whatever makes her life sparkle again."
"Who's Rick anyway?" Dash started to ask.
"We should prob'ly not mess in 'er business." Applejack slightly forwned. "But how can we help if we don't even know the problem, huh?"
"Ah guess yar righ', bu' not now, gottam get some sleep." Applejack yawned as she trotted out of sight. Rainbow Dash sighed and followed AJ's steps.
Tomorrow is the day that Twilight's friends reveal her secret she had kept inside for years. They will found out about Rick and the human race, they decide if Princess Celestia will be involved. Can the human race do anything about it, or they simply don't exist. Maybe they are just in Twilight's mind.
They may need some medical help to check if Twilight's mental condition is stable.
