Without trying to sound mean to Fleetfoot, she can go get her own story to have dates in; this one belongs to TrixFire.![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)
The plot thickens! I totally knew Vector had the hots for Spitfire!![:ajsmug:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/ajsmug.png)
I wanna know what happened there. Like, was this before or after the, erm, 'break' up?
My money is on before flightschool, it would go a ways to explaining why Vector hated Spitfire more than the rest of them.
5337335 Well, I'm glad you liked that. I was expecting someone to call BS on me. The night is still young though so it may still happen.
I think. I'm still thinking hard about what YourBronyGod said last time. I want to write a story many people, or at least the few I do have, love it. To do that I need feedback which as I mentioned to him/her, I'm not sure which he/she is, I need feedback for it. That's why I wanted to see what others thought before I decided on Fleet or TrixFire.
Still I'm hoping that others will tell me about the request for a chapter. Not to say I don't value your opinion, but let's not see the same hands, right?
So far I'm leaning to TrixFire, cause Fleetfoot is more or less a side note currently. I plan for her to have a heavier role later. As for Vector, you'll find out soon enough how this "relationship" spawned and what it means.
I actually would like to hear from the thinking cap perspective, what do you think happened? Your deductive skills impressed me last time and you were on for the most part, now i want to hear it again! It's so much fun! Then I'll leave you in suspense, wondering.![:trollestia:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trollestia.png)

While I certainly understand the desire to please the audience, it is your story, to be told as you see fit. If you give people a choice all you are doing is creating a group that gets their way, and a group that didn't. There for it's better to keep a tight hold of the reigns
Alright, you asked for it.![:trixieshiftleft:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trixieshiftleft.png)

Let's begin examining our first clue.
Clearly Spitfire and Vector are dating here, but the real question is when?
We don't see signs of how old they are, so that's out.
We don't know how long Pette's Pie Bar has been open, but we might be able to deduce something from Pint Pette himself. From the description of Pette is as a tall heavy brown earth pony with a dark pink and white stripped mane. His eyes were green and his cutie mark was a foaming mug. It is possible that the white is an indication of his age. In addition, he calls Spitfire 'kiddo', which seems a good indicator that he is at least fairly older than she is. Based on that, it would be possible for Pette's Pie Bar to be open in the pre-flightschool days. So nothing conclusive yet.
Then how about location? We know that the Pie Bar is in Manehatten. We are not told where the flightschool itself is. But!
Spitfires parents are obviously in Canterlot, and we know that Spitfire lived with her parents at the time because of this part:
So it stands to reason that the flight school Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Soarin, and Vector attended was located in, or at least within flying distance of, Canterlot.
Alternatively, Spitfire stayed in a dorm while in flight school, but I don't think that is the case as we've seen that flightschool is for foals and foals cannot be expected be self sufficient or to be away from their parents for long periods of time.
vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/c/cb/Map_of_Equestria_April_2013.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130403195243
According to the map, Canterlot is literally half a country away from Manehatten, so we can safely conclude that the flightschool was not in Manehatten. Considering that both Spitfires parents had very prestigious jobs in Canterlot, it is mostly likely they lived there for a significant portion of time, so I think based on that information, we can safely assume that Spitfire was not anywhere near Manehatten at the time.
Conclusion:![:trixieshiftleft:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trixieshiftleft.png)
The picture was taken after Flight School.
(Or Vector/Spitfire went all the way to Manehatten on a date pre-Flightschool, but there's no indication of this.)
Naturally, this must mean that the picture was taken after Spitfire broke Vectors wings. I think we find some collaborating evidence for this in this paragraph:
It seems Spitfire has an interest in medical fields and pegasi wings? We know that this is not part of her job, because that is the big neverending pile of paper work over at the Wonderbolt Accademy, while this is her apartment in Ivory Tower Apartments. Now, it is not strange for a wonderbolt to have an interest in their own body for the purpose of flying better perhaps, but what do we know about Spitfire that might be an even more pressing reason to learn about that stuff? She shattered another pegasi's wings. Perhaps she is trying to secretly find out if anything can be done about that?
With the 'when' just about settled, let's see what else we can glean from this.
This is rather interesting. It does not read like a simple note, but more like something that might be included in a letter. I don't think it makes sense for Vector to take a picture of them, develop it, write that on it, then give it to Spitfire in person. If not in person, then by letter. It suggests that Spitfire and Vector spend a lot of time apart, which lines up with the idea they are keeping it secret. Perhaps they may even live in different areas with some kind of long distance relationship.
Theory 1: Post-Flight School
After Vector got her wings broken, she and her parents fled as far away from Spitfire (and her powerful family) as they could manage (or Spitfires family actually had a hoof in this, perhaps offering to pay for treatment in exchange for silence and relocation). Manehatten is on the outskirts of Equestria, and is an advanced enough city to get Vector treatment. At some later point Spitfire met up with Vector again, possibly due to Spitfire becoming a wonderbolt as the Wonderbolt Accademy is located around Manehatten. Through some series of events that I as of yet do not fathom, they ended up secretly dating. They may keep their relationship secret by using letters to set up dates. The study shows that Spitfire used her resources to figure out someway to help her crippled secret marefriend.
This may mean that Spitfire is currently still secretly dating Vector, and Trixie needs to hear about that.
Problems:
-If they were trying to keep it secret, why Pette's Pie Bar? Given that it seems to be a regular hang out for the wonderbolts, it would be a bad idea to go there in secret, not to mention that Pette would obviously know. One possible reason might be that Soarin had not yet discovered Pette's Pie Bar at the time, so basically the picture is of one of Spitfire's first times at Pette's Pie Bar. It stands to reason that Vector would know about a good pie bar, if she has been living in Manehatten since becoming crippled.
-If Spitfire is trying to help Vector, why is she studying herself, rather than bringing in an actual professional? It is possible that she is doing both, or has a reason for this course of action related to keeping a secret.
-This seems inconsistent with Spitfires internal thoughts about Vector. Spitfire only thinks of Vector negatively, which would indicate that the flightschool was the last time they saw eachother. Alternatively, something even worse broke them up a second time, or we are not being shown Spitfire's actual thoughts about the current day Vector, but really, this is pretty damning:
Theory 2: During Flight School
Somehow, someway, this is taking place during Flight School. It is possible that they only pretended to be enemies to keep anyone from figuring out they were 'dykes'.
Problems:
)
- Too many to count.
- No seriously, this lines up with absolutely nothing, except that one little thing. That doesn't mean I couldn't concoct a scenario in which this would still happen, but it wouldn't be using anything we've seen so far. (For example, some extended family, an evil stepmother, and a glass horseshoe.
Theory 3: Long before Flight School
Before Spitfire's parents moved to Canterlot, they lived in Manehatten. Spitfire was friends with Vector before then, and ended up dating her. The secret part could perhaps be due to their parents disapproving, either due to age, orientation, or something else. After Spitfire moves to Canterlot, they keep in touch through letters and set up dates when they can get away with it. At some point something goes wrong, they have a falling out, and when they meet again in flight school Vector is hellbent on making Spitfire pay. Possibly due to heartache of losing her and having to watch Fleetfoot become increasingly close to Spitfire, leading to Vector to direct a good portion of her ire at Fleetfoot until Spitfire puts a stop to everything for good. Years later, Spitfire regrets what she did to Vector and is perhaps trying to help her someway, if she's located her.
Problems:
- The picture makes no mention of Spitfire and Vector being fillies, but this could have been omitted.
- The start of the story has the line: "It was a picture of the day she made her first real friend back in flight school." which seems to suggest that Spitfire had no friends before flight school, but a lover surely would qualify? It is possible she is referring strictly to friends made in flight school.
Alright, that's enough researching, right, Twilight? ...Twilight?![:trixieshiftright:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trixieshiftright.png)
stuffpoint.com/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic/image/222099-my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-sleeping-twilight-sparkle.jpg
Yeah that's enough for now.
5341632 Well thanks for that!![:pinkiehappy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiehappy.png)
Im glad I didn't write anything to badly. So you were right about vector and Spitfire for the most part. Ill explain that in the next few chapters. You know Trixie, she'll pry into others business like there's no tomorrow.
5358062 Hey I thought it was clever!![:rainbowlaugh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowlaugh.png)
So Trix or Spit will not question how Link is alive?
6438207 Well, Trixie by now has already gone through the whole story about the Trinity. So no they won't question it. They follow a more don't worry about the gifts given to you mentality.
Besides I can't think of how many times people never question why something happens to them or a friend. So simply put no they won't question it.
Admittedly I had to think twice about this cause I wasn't expecting anyone to comment from this early on.
What do you think of the fic so far? I haven't made revisions yet.
I've been cramming this story so far so I can say with confidence that Spitfire NEVER put restrictions on where Trixie can go in the apartment; I've even went back to previous chapters to check to see if I missed something. The only rules were for her to clean it up and can't have parties without Spitfire's permission. You can still have her feel guilty about snooping around, but she was never forbidden from checking out the apartment.
8062011 Thanks for your input. I will admit that there are a lot of problems with the story, mostly minor things, at least to me. Im actually surprised at how far you got and dis like so much about it.
Or at least it seems like it. I'm honestly not sure after reading the five comments you made , but while editing I will take what you said into about cause no one else told me these issues existed. Obviously I'm not a good writer, I just do it for fun.
Sad I know.
EDIT: You're right it about the room, it was just something like one of those things you don't like pople to look at but forget to tell them is probably what I was going for, but more than likely I just forgot to mention it. Sad but true.![:facehoof:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/facehoof.png)
As odd as a man named scary writing children's books?
