Trixike and Starlight

by Silver Butcher

Maybe one day

Spike and Trixie were sitting on Twilight's bed, Twilight was looking down at the two, rubbing her temple after hearing the rather short story on how they had ended up fusing.

"So you get some random ear-ring from some old colt, who tells you to share them with Spike..."

"He didn't specifically tell Trixie she had to do it with Spike." Trixie interrupter "he was just the first pony...sorry dragon, That Trixie ran into."

"....And you just do it?" Twilight finished, "you didn't think to come to me...or Starlight...or anypony who could check for curses....you just slapped them one....and transformed."

"We fused into Trixike" Spike interjected. earning a low groan from Twilight

"You named it...Trixike?" Twilight asked

"We considered Spixie...but Trixike is just fun to say," Trixie said. Twilight let out another groan

"Listen I don't care what you call yourselves, but from what the crowd told us...you did a back-flip out of an Ursa-Major's mouth, after summoning it." Trixie smiled and nodded with a smug look.

"yea...that was pretty cool."

"Pretty co...You dumb-asses could have gotten so many ponies killed, the town could have been destroyed!! So many things's could have happened!"

"Naw...we put the Major in a cage after we summoned it. then lit the cage on fire" Spike said with a wink "You know for safety and entertainment,"

"This....this is ridiculous!!! Why would you do this! I expect better from you at least Spike!" Spike shrugged

"But that wasn't me, and it wasn't Trixie..."

"It was both of us" Trixie chipped in "We weren't Trixie or Spike..."

"We were Trixike," The two said in almost perfect unison.

"Dammit I through it off," Spike muttered irritably before Twilight snapped to get their attention

"Same thing....now I'm going to take those ring's and ask Celestia and Luna if they know anything about them," Twilight said as she turned to grab some ink and paper to write to the princesses

"Good luck taking them from her!" Trixie said Twilight turned just as Spike clipped the earring on.

"Wait!!" Twilight commanded, but in a blinding flash Trixike was standing in front of her, Twilight took several step's backs as she looked up at Trixike. Trixike Approached her and stopped, looking down. Twilight hadn't noticed during the first encounter as she and the others hadn't gotten too close to her before she unfused, but Trixike was really tall. Twilight's head was at the same height as Trixike's Bellybutton. "Celestia Dammit," She said as she took a few more steps away from the fusion.

"Hello, Sparkle!! It's so nice to meet you." Trixike leaned down and placed her hand on top of Twilight's head. "what say we have a little chat."

Starlight was walking to Twilight's room, when she heard the two arguings, she opened to door, and saw Twilight backing away from Trixike who had just ruffled Twilight's mane,

"....just need to relax." Trixike was saying before she noticed Starlight "have you come to complain about my existence as well?" She asked sweetly

"What?" Starlight asked taken aback

"Those things could be dangerous, who knows what they'll do if they fall into the wrong hands" Twilight snapped at the fusion who just looked back to the Alicorn with joy sparkling in her eyes.

"Judging by the last 5 minutes, It seems you already think they have fallen into the wrong hands," Trixike replied happily

"Stop that!" Twilight demanded

"Stop what?"

"acting so...happy about everything!"

"I can't stop, Existing is fun!" Trixike replied "I've existed for less than an hour, and you already want me gone, isn't that neat? Less than 5 minutes ago you didn't even know my name" She giggled "You're just so sure of yourself, It's so..." suddenly Twilight's hand flashed out and grabbed one of the ear-rings.

"Gotcha!" she exclaimed triumphantly, only to find she couldn't touch the ring, it was like it wasn't there, her hand just phased through it "what the fu..." Starlight decided it was time to intervene.

"OK, enough, Twilight relax, Trixie, Spike ple..."

"I prefer Trixike," the fusion said sharply before adding with a polite smile "if you don't mind."

"..Trixike please unfuse before Twilight does something idiotic,"

"Fine...but only cause you said please," Trixike replied, removing her ring's and un-fusing. Spike and Trixie both proceeded to pocket them and Twilight sighed yet again.

"Listen, I know the promise of power is tempting, but trust me you don't wan...."

"I like be Trixike" Spike shot back before she could finish "It's nice being powerful, not that you two know what it's like to be weak"

"An Alicorn and the Unicorn that walked threw time" Trixie chimed in "Not exactly pushover's, but a simple show pony..."

"And a pitiful dragon with no wings, I wonder why we like being her so much?" the two looked at Twilight and Starlight

"But you can have the Rings"

"Thank yo..."

"If you give up being an Alicorn," Trixie said happily

"WHAT!?"

"You want us to give up some epic power? You give up yours" Spike shot back. Trixie and Spike crossed their arm's and said in unison

"It's only fair," Twilight sighed

"That's stupid, I am a Princess given power from Celestia, you two got your power's from some old stallion who disappeared immediately after handing it to you." Twilight started rubbing her temple "Please listen to yourselves and just..."

"Now if you'd excuse me I have shopping to do," Trixie said as she got up and left

"And I have chores to do" Spike got up and left as well, Twilight sighed and turned to Starlight

"Help me here." she pleaded

"Just let them have their fun, If they start getting out of hand and dangerous, then that's when you try and take the rings."

"An Ursa Major Starlight, they summoned an Ursa Major to the center of town!!"

"You're freaking out over an Ursa? I think we've dealt with worse" Starlight said as she left Twilight.

"I have a bad feeling about this" Twilight sighed to her empty room.

Starlight was just leaving the castle when she Saw Trixike juggling flaming bowling pins while using a hula-hoop and spinning a plate on her horn and Tale, a crowd was cheering her on, next to her Trixie's hat was on the ground filled with coins. Starlight watched as Trixike caught the pin's, threw them into the air, and proceeded to jump out of the hoop, do a flip, and back in the middle of it, still spinning it and the two plates, and started juggling one-handed, while using the other to hold herself up, after a second she started blowing multicolored smoke into the crowd. Starlight watched as Trixike did a cartwheel out of the hula-hoop, threw all the pin's high into the air, then threw the two plates into the air, grabbed the hula-hoop with her Tail, tossed it to her hand's and holding over her head, blasted a ball of Green fire into the air, and all the objects vanished. Trixike Bowed, help the hoop over her head then dropped the hoop, disappearing inside of it, and once it hit the ground, the hoop turned to smoke, The Hat vanishing into a puff a smoke along with it. there was clapping, and soon the crowd dispersed, Starlight smiled and, after thinking for a second, She teleported to Trixie's Cart. Trixike was laying in front of it, counting her coin's, all her prop's stored inside the cart, without looking up Trixike asked

"Did you enjoy the show?" Starlight smiled.

"Didn't take you long to come back did it?"

"A group of ponies were waiting outside the castle and asked them to do something entertaining, so they formed me and I entertained them and got paid in the process." Trixike was Dividing the coin's into two piles until there was only one left "and seeing how Trixie doesn't live in a castle, It only seems fair she gets the odd coin out." She said happily flipping the coin into the larger of the two piles. "Now, Trixike takes it you've come to complain about her?" Trixike stood up, towering over Starlight for a second, then with a quick spell, Trixike shrunk down to almost eye level of Starlight.

"Oh," Starlight said in surprise "I didn't know you could change your height!?"

"Yes....well It's rude to look down on others."

"You were quite tall while talking to Twilight."

"Trixike has...Mixed feeling's on Sparkle....you, on the other hand, are a solid friend in my book." Starlight smiled

"Thank you Trixike, It's odd to think that you both are, and aren't Spike and Trixie."

"Yes, judging from the...ponies I've talked to...I seem to be having that effect on everypony who sees me. Some distrust me because of Trixie's Past, others seem to expect me to be more helpful because of Spike, And everypony seem's to be expecting me to do something dangerous. But I know better, I have Trixie's amazing mind and idea's, but Spike's keen mind and pre-planning skills"

"I'm guessing that outside of the flaming cage, you had an invisible protective barrier around the Ursa as well?"

"of course, can't perform if the audience gets hurt, can't get paid either," Trixike said happily as her ring's started glowing "oh dear, Time to wish the world goodbye, well....until next time Starlight," she said before splitting back into Trixie and Spike. Trixie did a quick stretch and Spike yawned

"Well, me and Spike-"

"Spike and I," Spike said with a cough, earning a punch to the shoulder

"We," Trixike amended "Have some planning to do, So many shows to put on!" Trixie said as she and Spike waved Starlight goodbye, They got the cart, but stopped and had a silent talk together for a moment before Spike turned

"Oh, And Starlight, if you ever want to perform with Trixike, just ask, the two of you together would be one rocking performance."

"All you have to do is ask," Trixie said as she and Spike entered her Cart. Starlight smiled and turned to leave

"Maybe one day," she decided, the sound of them making plans for their next show following her as she left.
