    It had to happen eventually.

    ...actually, no. No, it really didn't.

    Set immediately after the events of Boast Busters, Trixie finds herself in a quandary when she realises that she has left her purse behind in Ponyville. She faces a humiliating walk back into town to pick up her money.

    Before she can turn back, however, she meets a magical, sentient pine cone... sigh. Okay. Here's a proposition.

    If you can make it to the end of this story without going "what" even once, you win a free internet.

    My mind is full of What.

    I think I lost when I read the summary, to be honest.

    Without a doubt the best Trixie/Pinecone shipfic I've read so far.

    This is beautiful. If we still had a star rating system, it would be an instant five.

    This is it, guys. It doesn't get any better than this. Pack up and go home. We've had a good run, but the Ultimate Shipping Fic has been written.

    Also, I am proud to say that as an avid follower of the 'trixie eats a pinecone' meme I did not, at any point, go 'What'.

    Do I get my internet now?

    Yeah, that was weird.

    But I like weird.

    I knew the pine cone was someone the series had introduced (I actually thought it was Twilight at first), and the ending didn't disappoint.

    I'd love to see the follow up as to how Trixie plans to explain THIS one. She's gonna have to pull out all the stops!

    Weird but funny, and I got a giggle out of it so here's your thumbs up.

    My Rating System Involving Smilys

    Content: :yay: The pacing was perfect, it was filled out in all the right places. It was beautifully written piece that kept me entertained all the way through.

    Effectiveness:  :heart: I'm gonna say the romance was this fic's strong point. It was a trully heart warming piece. To an mentally unstable psychopath like me, all this was perfectly normal so yeah.... Internet.

    Memorabilia: :applejackunsure: I'll probably forget this even existed within a week. Which admittedly is a feat in itself, given the story's premise.

    Continuity (Fanon & Canon): :trixieshiftleft: Trixie was acting a little out of character (Both for her Canon AND Fanon personality) but you were trying to make a point, so I'll overlook that. The Twixie-Twilight Rivalry is a major sub-plot, and is practically intrinsically linked to Trixie's character; so it's high disconcerting for to have a Trixie that doesn't even know who Twilight is, let alone feel jealousy or guilt towards.

    Overall: :pinkiecrazy:

    This fic deserves 4/5 yays

    This is the greatest shipping I have ever read by far, and that's saying something. This was absolutely hilarious and adorable at the same time.

    Trixie x Piney is, without a doubt, THE new OTP of the entire Friendship is Magic universe for me. These characters have incredible chemistry, and the internal struggle Trixie faced over whether she should eat Piney and gain the power she always desired was conveyed with such raw emotional power.

    This is the greatest shipping ever. I mean, it's even better than... Well... My old OTP.

    THERE WAS EVEN MORE CHEMISTRY IN THIS STORY THAN BETWEEN THESE GOATS!

    She felt nothing except the fluffy texture of her feathers. That stallion had lied to her – the wings were not an erogenous zone. Trixie blushed at the memory of their relationship, the thrill of her new wings dampened slightly by the knowledge she had once dated a pervert.

    Oh yes. Thank you so much for that. I love wings, but ever since the fandom started viewing them sexually they've been massively downplayed.

    That ending...

    This... was surprisingly good. I think I need to rethink my life views now.:pinkiecrazy:

    I love Trixie to death (Thanks in large part to Sethisto's unknowing, yet relentless assault on my brain's love center) but that was all my brain could manage, especially at "Eat me!".

    Regardless of all the WAT still currently buzzing around in my brainy parts though, I absolutely love this story.

    I have to say that I actually managed to not utter a single "what" through out this whole fic. In fact, from the point at which she started gaining power, I had already guessed it was <spoiler> trapped in the pine cone. So now I want my internets. I deserve two for guessing the plot.

    Given that Rainbow Dash and Twilight both seemed to forgive Trixie, I figure this relationship between her and Pinkie could actually go a long way, along with Trixie becoming a better pony and such.

    - Utterly ridiculous premise.

    - Comically rebuffs several fandom cliches.

    - Has a real plot.

    - Written like a completely serious story, if not for the subject matter.

    - Pinkamoona Diane Pine.

    I love how seriously this is presented. It's constantly being ridiculous without quite breaking the limits of believability. And there's no skimping on the plot or production value just because it's a "silly" story. Thumbs up!

    I almost made it through that story without going 'whot', and I would have too, if it weren't for Pinkie. Really, I should be used to such a thing, but that was so out of the blue. What's really strange is the whole Piney-being-nightmare moon thing being not that surprising. Really. Truely, though, a great read.

    First two paragraphs: I'm already in love with this story, and the pine cone hasn't even shown up yet!

    Finished. The best thing about this fic besides having a story that is both completely absurd while simultaneously fitting in with the FiM mythology is the portrayal of Trixie. It shuns the fanbase's conventions and shows her to be more reasonable and intelligent. I'm sort of an advocate of the possibility that Trixie's showboating is just her on-stage persona and her theatrical retreat from Ponyville was contrived to save face. Now I just wish the narrative had developed in such a way that would result in a Trixie and Spike pairing.

    Alternative Ending:

    "...Fulfil your destiny, Trixie! EAT ME!”

    Trixie considered the proposition. Her first thoughts had been revolt, but on further reflection, it seemed fitting. That way, they would be together forever. It was the ultimate gesture of her feelings for Piney.

    "Alright, but only because I love you," she said resolutely.

    "Ok. Sweet," Piney responded.

    She bit into the pinecone. It tasted like tree. Chewing was painful. It just broke the thing up into a bunch of splintery fragments which poked into her cheeks and cut up her tongue. Swallowing was even worse. The spikey ball of chewed up bark would scrape her throat the whole way down.

    "Not gonna lie, this is genuinely unenjoyable," Trixie said, to no one in particular.

    But she didn't give up. She was still set on the poetic gesture, no matter how painful it might be. She finished the pinecone and then awaited the surge of power. But no such power came.

    "What the hay is going on?" Trixie inquired the empty air around her.

    At that moment a unicorn stallion popped up from behind some bushes nearby.

    "Ha ha." His laugh sounded exactly like Nelson from the Simpsons. He wore a wide, unnatural grin. "I made you fall in love with a pinecone and then eat it."

    Trixie was dumbfounded. "What?"

    "Ventriloquism magic. Ever heard of it?" The stallion laughed and waited briefly for a response, but none was about to come from the newly muted Trixie. "Doesn't seem like it... Whaaaatever. It'll clue in eventually. For now, I got things to do. See ya!"

    He jumped out from behind the bush, still giggling like a madman.

    "Neeeeeeeeeerds!" he yelled out.

    As he ran off, Trixie noticed his cutie mark was trollface.jpg.
