Trixie's first real test as Princess Luna's apprentice has come and gone. She was sent to capture a creature that escaped from Tartarus, and while the contest was difficult for her, she succeeded. Unfortunately, on her way back to Canterlot, she realizes that her victory might not be as assured as she thought it was.

A good story. One interpretation of Trixie is that she makes up for her lack of power (at least compared to Twilight) by being a clever and quick thinker, and this illustrated it well.

I liked it.

A perfect opponent for Trixie. Something that insidious helps put into focus that there are many types of creatures to be dealt with in this world.

I'm eager to see just where all these interconnected stories are going. It's looking to be one heck of an arc.

And Luna should really know better to say that nothing will come of all this in the near future. :facehoof:

Why thank you. I figure Trixie has a head for razzel dazzel, and that came be just as effective as magic at times--as Twilight showed her during Magic Duel. I like to think that she's now focusing on her actual talent now, which is wowing other creatures with a little magic and a lot of special effects. Luna is teaching her how to use that talent in other ways besides just shows. :twilightsmile:

Of course Luna knows better, but she doesn't want to worry Trixie. That, and it's my way of cheating to keep the mystery up. :derpytongue2:

I hope it will be one heck of an arc. The problem is that I'm slightly worried that it won't live up to everypony's expectations, but I will do my very best.

I hope This is the last time we have one of these kind of antagonists. I'm sorry, but sad Trixie isn't very interesting. Two of your stories have sad Trixie can't we have happy adventures. I mean this is my problem with teen titans (the comic) because there is no happy. Nobody is interested in a character who is always sad. Hell not even batman is sad all the time.

Batman is a huggy person

You...you DARE criticize me! I'm going to find you and slap you!!
Just kidding. :twilightsmile:
Do not worry. When Trixie does return, she will be back to her old self--minus the completely insensitive parts. She still going to be arrogant and a bit stubborn though. She'll need to be if she's going to complete her mission in the Griff--er, I mean, where Luna sends her next.

4418542 That's cool all she needs now is a relationship with shining armor and I'd call this the greatest thing ever made.

and make sense.
sensible. Since you're describing how it sounds.

accept thee
Might be a 'thy' but old equish isn't my forte.

4417229
Okay, the last one made me smile.

Very nice. A good taste of twisting. And of course, Trixie is awesome. Building her own friendships, although much slower than The Princess of Friendship pulled it off. I look forward to your further elaborations.

4440906 Yes someone else agrees with me. What would their shipping name be.

4440942 Gorilla Batman and Rhino?
...GoRhino Bat? (Also, I fear we are rather off topic.)

4441004 NO we're still on topic. I want the stories main character trixie to hock up with shining armor. (come on just one ship name)

4441654
4441004

...I think I'm officially worried about both of you now...:rainbowhuh:

4447901 what? I just really like the idea of shining armor and trixie hocking up.:twilightblush:

4447901 Let me try to clarify:
I replied with amusement to OR's 'huggy batman' images.
OR seemed to think I replied to the most recent message, regarding Shining ArmorXTrixie (Shining Lulamoon? Armored Trix?)
Our conversations diverged off that point.

:pinkiecrazy: As said, though, I'm rather sure we're off topic, and spamming in the story comments is poor form. Please don't call the constabulary on us.

Oh no, I'm fine with it. I enjoy reading comments on my stuff, even if they go off in another direction. It makes me smile. I was just teasing you two.

And my vote goes for Armored Trix. :trixieshiftright:

4451812 That sounds like a giant robot, and yet interesting enough that I'm curious how it'd turn out.

It would have to be Alt Universe, though, seeing how Shining is already married.

Late to the party, but I really enjoyed this little Trixie series. :pinkiehappy:

Thanks. I had fun writing this one because it was back when Trixie was still kind of M.I.A. in the show, so I liked giving her chances to shine in her own way. I plan on getting back to her and Luna's training soon, once I wrap up another story.
