The New Mare in Town
////
Twilight and her friends decided to leave Sugarcube Corner so they could all face Trixie together. The last time they had met, their experience had been less than stellar, as they were all forced to fight an Ursa Major, that was narrowly stopped from destroying the town, when Spike managed to pull a miracle out of his butt, and save the day.
The sizable group approached Trixie, where she stood in front of the town hall, wearing no cape or hat, holding a bundle under her arms, with a rather odd look on her face that looked half way between angry, and scared.
“Trixie,” Alex said, as they reached a comfortable distance to carry a conversation between them, “It’s been a long time.”
“You look… beat up.” Trixie noted, looking over the several scars across his body, “I don’t suppose the Ursa Major did all that to you?”
“I?” Dash asked, tilting her head, “What happened to talking about yourself in third person?”
Trixie’s face saddened at the question, as she looked away from the group, “I’ve given up all that. I just came by to give you something, Twilight.”
Everypony looked between one another, before Twilight spoke up.
“What is it?” She asked, watching Trixie levitate the bundle out from under her arm, and in to the air in between them.
Opening the package, Trixie lifted a black amulet, with a large ruby held in the middle. The piece of metal that held the stone was shaped as an alicorn, having a head with a horn above, and wings that came out on either side of the gem.
“This is called the Alicorn Amulet,” Trixie explained, rotating the piece of jewelry in front of the group, “It’s a piece of immense magical power, capable of destroying not only the pony who wears it, but all the ponies around it. I came here to give it to you.”
Twilight was stunned. She figured that Trixie was here to challenge her to a rematch. But, this mission of hers seemed to be out of genuine concern for others.
“Why?” Applejack asked suddenly, “The last time ya’ showed up, Rarity’s hair turned green!”
Rarity grumbled to herself silently.
“And you zapped Dashie!” Pinkie giggled.
Dash grumbled exactly the same thing.
“And I was promptly defeated by your friend,” Trixie said softly, “And then… those two boys ran out and found an Ursa Major.”
“That almost destroyed the town,” Spike said angrily, looking to Rarity, and then back to Trixie, “It’s lucky I got that letter to Princess Luna!”
“Don’t mock Trix—Me,” She corrected, still having trouble at certain points when it came to regular speaking, “A dragon was the savior that day. Not you.”
“That’s me!” Spike said instantly, “I just… used some Heart’s Desire, and turned in to a pony.”
Trixie tilted her head as she inspected him. Magic that powerful would have taken a pretty strong desire. But, it seemed that was the case. He shared his colors with that dragon.
“My apologies,” She said, retracting the amulet from in front of her, and returning it to the cloths in front of her, wrapping it carefully, “Please.”
Nodding, Twilight levitated the wrapped trinket away from Trixie and placed it in the saddlebag on the disguised Alpha’s back, drawing the blue unicorn’s attention to him.
“You.” She said, approaching him carefully, drawing her gaze from his head to his legs, “You feel strange.”
Gulping, Alpha leaned back slightly as she approached him, her gaze narrowed as she looked in to his eyes.
Everypony knew what was wrong with him, but they were all shocked at her ability to sense it. So, nopony said anything, and simply let Trixie diagnose exactly what was off about him.
“Let Trix—Me tell you a story,” She shook her head quickly, focusing back on the stallion in front of her, “About four months ago, I was in Canterlot following up on a small project I had taken part in.”
“Four months ago?” Dash asked, looking to Alex, and then Twilight, “I was still working as a captain in the castle then, wasn’t I?”
“Just coming off of it, actually,” Trixie answered.
“What project were you involved in?” Twilight asked, wondering if she had done some work for the Princess’.
“Well, that goes a little further back,” She explained, blinking a few times as she got the details in her head right, “To about… two or so years ago. Around the defeat of Discord.”
They all listened intently, as a few nodded to her.
“News reached me about the alicorn who was turned to stone,” Trixie continued, looking to Alex with an oddly soft smile, “And, after he saved me from the Ursa Major, I thought I might be able to help him.”
They all exchanged looks of confusion, before they all looked back to her.
“So, over the next two years, I used some of my connections in the magic community to look for a spell that would help in breaking you out, Alex.” She said, as his own demeanor softened toward her, “Don’t get me wrong. This was a hobby. Certainly not the obsession your rainbow friend had.”
“Got it.” Alex smiled.
“So, after reading about the failed attempts, and the kind of spell you were seeking out, I reached out a little further… and found out about the spell used by the ancestors of today’s buffalo tribes in the area around Dodge Junction,” She explained, shifting her look to Rainbow Dash, “Once I decided the information was accurate, I sent you a letter. Telling you where to look.”
“That was you?!” Dash asked, remembering the letter she had received, and how she never found out who sent it, “You really did all that for him?”
“Well, let’s just say that his selflessness showed Trixie… Me, that there’s a better way to treat others.” She said meekly, once again looking away from the group, “All of that aside, once I heard that you had been freed, I headed for Canterlot to see for myself.”
“When did you see him?” Dash asked, one hundred percent sure that she hadn’t seen Trixie around that time.
“When he was in the hospital.” She said, looking between them, “You were asleep.”
“Right.” Dash nodded.
“However, back to my original point,” Trixie said, finally looking back to Alpha, “When I inspected Alex, he felt wrong. Just like this pony does.”
“I- I don’t know what you mean!” Alpha laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head.
“What, did it turn out was wrong with Alex?” Trixie asked the group, not waiting for a response, “He was a changeling!”
Zapping Alpha with her True Form spell, Alpha’s fake skin melted away, and was replaced with a very shocked changeling, who felt pretty violated.
“No, Trixie!” Twilight said quickly, zapping Alpha back to the Library with a teleportation spell, “We know he’s a changeling! But nopony else in town knows!”
“Oh!” She said backing off and wearing an embarrassed expression, “Tr-Tri-I’m sorry!”
Alex could only laugh out loud at the worried look on Trixie’s face. He felt like a humble Trixie was something you would only see once in a lifetime.
“What’s with all of this?” Twilight asked, looking back to Trixie with an odd smile, “The last time we met, it didn’t exactly seem like you’d be the type to help us out.”
“Like I said,” Trixie gestured back to Alex, “I owed him a favor.”
“It’s not just that,” Spike said, almost feeling the hidden layers in her speech, “What changed in you?”
“It must have been pretty profound.” Alex nodded.
“Well… That’s a whole other, and very long story.” Trixie said, shrugging her shoulders, “Would you mind if I rested in your library for a little bit while I tell you? I spent every bit I had on that amulet, and haven’t been able to afford accommodations for the past few days.”
“Of course!” Twilight said, gesturing the mare toward the library, “You can stay as long as you like!”
“That’s a relief to hear.” She nodded, exhaling, with an appreciative smile on her face, “Thank you, Twilight.”
Twilight was almost at a loss for words at her humble attitude. But, if she had indeed turned over a new leaf, then she deserved some kind treatment.
“It all began the day after the Ursa Major attacked…”
////
That is a good twist. I approve. I love the evolution of Trixie's character. Also she figured out that Alpha is a changeling. Great idea. I can't wait to read the next chapter.
Another side story incoming or will this remain part of the main story?
This doesn't feel like the end of it, something else is going to happen involving this. I feel it in my bones.
It's interesting that the Alicorn Amulet has made an appearance, and how drastically different the story is from canon. I imagine the Alicorn Amulet will come back into play for a "dark side" arc. Probably Twilight, since it was a gift to her, if this is the case.
Oh wow, this came completely out of the blue. Continue!
Out of the cliche thing, i love it
I wabt to hear trixies story
Off the Record side story starring The Great and Powerful Trixie?
I could go for that.
I don't like Trixie in canon, but an alternate interpretation would be interesting.
Have they trashed Tirek yet, or is it going to be a trade off between her freindsm and TwiDark Z?
The Oh Crap moment Trixie had when Twi said they knew about
Alpha was rather hilarious. XD

5153623
Listen bud, I'm gonna real talk you here.
If your idea of a good time, is jumping in to a comments section of an MLP FANFICTION, and being a jack ass in ways that can lead to being banned from the site... Then you need to check yourself.
You wanna insult me? Fine. But you don't jump on my readers, because then I stop laughing, and get upset.
Don't come here and turn this comments section in to your personal troll fest, because you literally have nothing else to do.
If you comment negatively again, I'll pursue this matter with an administrator.
Seriously. This is an MLP community. Don't bring your shit here.
5154225
Do not mind him he just tries to "feed" from others. As usual.
what the buck happened down here
5154862
It doesn't get to me. Trolls bugging me are nothing. But as soon as my readers start getting shit, then I get upset.
And I'd rather it be over and done with anyway.
5155794 i thought you said you aint get mad when people talk shit, nigga, im just speakin the truth, dont like it? dont make a bad story.
5158025
I don't care about you mocking me. Do it till your face turns blue.
But Don't go after my readers.
They aren't here for you to shit on them.
And as for the bad story, I'm sorry you don't like it. LOTS of people don't. Hell, even I would restructure it if I had the time.
But I will never give you shit for disliking my story. Never ever. That's your opinion.
But apparantly, somehow, 1200 people do like it. So I think I'll keep going. Some kid whining will never make me feel bad, or put a stop to it.
Last warning. Go.
5158756 nigga you give me a warning? calling me a kid? Sherane is scarier than you, fool. Fuck yo shit and yo gay ass readers that like this wack ass story.
5158923 You really should consider toning it down, if only because it's a pretty dumb waste of your time. Whatever you came here to do, you failed pretty hilariously.
5158756 In the future, you might want to block these types of people. That usually solves the problem without giving them the attention they're desperately seeking since mommy never loved them or whatever, and so now they make fun of people on the internet for lulz. Really, I recommend just ignoring them completely because any response is a waste of your valuable time as a comparatively productive member of society, but if it's getting out of hand then blocks are a good place to start.
Definitely file a report if someone makes an alt account to get around that block, though. That's a paddlin'.
5160205
Of course man. I just can't pass up a good chance to out troll a troll in between destiny games.
And, also, I wasn't aware of a blocking system. I've never needed it before. So I'll make sure to just use that in the future.
Thanks again man.
5160205 says the nigga with the le funny me me as his profile pic.
5160328 of course you would play destiny, because you suck, your story stucks, and so do your fans
5162463 Alright, official warning. Knock it off.
5162479 nigga your face is an official warning. #rekt
5162564 you won't be missed.
5162618
Well, that's one way for things to go...
Seriously though, thanks again, bud.
5171067
Funny story, I'm explaining that in the chapter I'm writing right now.
Well, I really like Trixie like this. I want to find out what happened to her.
now just as long as Twilight leaves well enough alone...
