Vagabond. Gypsy. Travelling showmare. Whatever word you prefer, that's what Trixie is. She's drifted from town to town, entertaining the inhabitants, living on the few bits dropped into her hat.
But there's one thing missing from her life.
Friendship.
Written for a contest on /r/MyLittlePony.
My heart exploded, melted, and exploded again.
Your ability to name stories and chapters sucks dicks, though.
847773 Oh damn I knew I forgot to do something before hitting submit.
BWAHHA!! Dat ending!
You got something good going here. Keep it up!
852153 The ending is the most beautiful thing I have ever written.

It was purely in approval, I swear to Celestia.

Creepy.
Maybe I'm just being exceptionally thick and stupid, but: “Then I met a man, a powerful man. He gave me purpose.” Am I missing something? It doesn't seem like that, or the card, is ever clarified particularly and I'm a little confused by the word 'man' as opposed to something more pony. This story isn't tagged as 'Human' dagnabbit What's the story?

You can either take it as
a) A religious metaphor, where the man is God and the card a tract
or
b) a teaser hook for another story I'm writing because I like tying everything I write together in some way.
Really it's up to you.
ninja edit: also the use of the word 'man' is just because I get tired of writing 'everypony' or 'stallion' and stuff. It's no different from Twilight calling the rest of the Mane 6 'girls'
896757 Hmmm, I'll take sequel hook for $200, Alex.
Hmmmm. I like this! I thought I was the only one that made Trixie a gypsy, aside from the one that first inspired me.
1270849 Oh? you wouldn't happen to have any links to those, would you? I rarely run across other people who share any of my headcanon, and I'm interested to see others' take on it.
I'm shocked I haven't come across this story before today. I really do hope this tale isn't done. I'm curious now.

I have been working on follow-ups, just been distracted with other projects. It'll be a while, as once I'm done with my current long fic and rewriting a one-shot for EqD I have to rewrite the entire follow-up fic. cdn.broni.es/images/emotes/mlp-osad.png
Trixie actually has a Euro-East Coast gypsy accent
