Hmm... will read...

EDIT: I love a good Trixie story. I hope Trixie will come back sometime in future episodes, apologetically or otherwise... :pinkiehappy: Liked!

I came.

YAAAY! Well that was a nice break...

See, I really wish they had extended the apology scene a little bit. Maybe have Trixie write a letter to the Princess (she was right there, go up to her!) , something beyond five seconds with Twilight and running away.

That's kind of a problem with the show having only a limited time to cram everything in.

I love this. I'm going to watch it.
Great job! :D

This! I totally agree that it was rushed. What good is redemption if it all boils down to "Sure, we're cool now kthnxbai"?

This fits nicely.

It does stand to reason that she wouldn't leave town immediately

And 1733142?
...I saw! I kicked some ass! Today was a good day.

Nice. This would explain why she came back to apologize to Twilight. Though it wasn't the same night as this story. Liked and Fav'ed.

I normally feel obligated to post on any new "Trixie Redemption" story I see, considering what I'm known for.

*ahem*
Please, we all know that Trixie's still a self-centered jackass.

Let's see if Trixie can redeem herself. This is a topic I want to see more of. :twilightsmile:

She may be a self-centered jackass 1733434, but it looks like she wants to change..

Nice story. I wish the apology scene had gone on a little longer - having Trixie write the letter to Celestia would have been perfect.

1733434
Sure, that's why she apologized in the episode, right? :ajsmug:

It's a nice change to see things from this angle.
Most people thought she was punishing Snip and Snails for the Ursa thing throughout the whole episode, but the way she kept calling on them like Twilight did on her friends... I couldn't help but feel that Trixie had some sort of affection for them, twisted as though it was by her corruption. The transition between Trixie slinking away after her defeat and her apparently sincere apology is explained very well.

I liked the story. It fit in really wel as a side action to the story. My main issue I have with the episode is here Twilight finds out Trixie has a cursed magical item that, while yes only Trixie can remove, she can't think of any other way to do so other then poke at Trixie's pride and show her up. Not to mention how underhanded it is. How AJ would agree to it perplexes me. I thought she would have asked Celestia for some advice on how to stop the necklace. It would have taken what..less then a day? Sorry for the rant but it is just something that stuck out at me.

Uhh... a quick check in my story favorites tells me that neither of you know what I'm referencing. :twilightsheepish:

1734223
Uhhh... nope, haven't got a clue... but I see you wrote a story involving Trixie. So, if it is a reference to that... don't you think it's kinda lame to go to other people's stories and leave comments about how their interpretation of Trixie doesn't match up to yours? :rainbowderp:

Unless I'm totally misunderstanding the situation and getting everything wrong, which I probably am :coolphoto:

TRIXIE APPROVES!!!

1733303 I agree, That Episode should've been a two episode story. It had so much potential for it and more.

1733552 The last two Episodes were missing those Letters; Celestia and Luna would've loved to have read them.

Oooooooo trixie.....:twilightblush:
P.s. Maybe you can read my story called my day on ponyville

manly tears had shed

You raise an interesting question. Let's say they smuggled Spike through the forcefield instead of Fluttershy (assuming that was even possible) so he could send a letter to Celestia in Saddle Arabia, would that have changed anything? Personally, I doubt it.

Trixie was too drunk on her own power to listen to anything. If corruption'd been an issue she wouldn't have decided to wear the amulet in the first place. The only way to get her to take it off was to dangle more power in her face and let her ego get the best of her. I think Celestia (a big proponent of the power of friendship) would've told Twilight the same thing as Zecora; not to mention they were racing against the clock. Let's say they had waited for Celestia to answer, and Trixie decided to overthrow the princess while still wearing the amulet - I doubt anypony could've stopped her.

Yes it's underhanded, but what else could they do? Growing apples without peels doesn't exactly sound feasible either (which is what Trixie lastly demanded of AJ).

You bring up some good points but it is also hard to say what would have happened. I am in no way thinking that they smuggled out Spike. They got Fluttershy out and in. When i saw Twilight writitng out something I figured it was a letter to Tia not a let's use subterfuge to get the amulet. That being said I agree that Trixie was on a masive power high but to suggest she would go after the throne seems a bit out there at this point in time.

All in all we can speculate about coulds and shoulds all we want. The episode was good as was this story. Trixie has an ego but did learn enough that she was a bit more humble. I don't think we needed her falling at the end. Seriously she never seemed like a klutz at all. Oh well.

I love it! Trixie is a pony with feelings, which is only natural to have in a wreck after mental corruption. I like how these types of stories depict characters in their usual way, but still manage to give a different perspective. It's these acts of forgiveness, even if they come from the "least important characters", that can mark a life in a good way.

I salute you, my friend, and may friendship make of this world a better place.

That was so sweet! Great job on this man!:pinkiehappy:
