There are reasons why The Great and Powerful Trixie chooses to wear an informal - and admittedly childish - cape which covers her flank. These reasons remained concealed...until now. While Twilight's parents are visiting her in Ponyville during her performance at the end of "Magic Duel," Twilight connects the dots and discovers a secret about Trixie which changes everything.

i have been waiting for this
thank you
1899863 You're welcome!
This ntrigues me do go on.
awww ya beat me to this story idea. i was in the middle of writing something like this. well back to the drawing board so to speak.
Great story looking forward to reading more
1899894 Yeah, sorry about that. My biggest fear on this site is that I will accidentally plagarize someone else's work that I'm unaware of because I do a lot more writing than reading.
I have literally a dozen stories I want to read, but I pardoned them so I could get all my big ideas out first, and then worry about reading. I promise I won't disappoint.
1899916 it's alright, i have a few other story ideas still. now if only i could think of a way to start them.
1900016 Do what I do: brainstorm. The first step of the Writing Process is to sketch out your ideas (sometimes literally), in your mind and on paper so you can get a sense of what you want to accomplish in your writing. What helps for me is to know - or at least have an idea - for how the book is going to end. If you can't finish a story, you can't start it. It's a very cunning and mischevious aphorism. But, at least in my experiences, it's true. I'm a writer outside of fanfiction, so I know all the nuances.
It is interesting, I have nether read a story that Trixie is Twilight's sister. Although, there are mentions of stories like this but I never saw much in this way.
I don't buy it.
For one thing, Trixie' Cutie Mark is not a moon, but rather a swish of... Pixie Dust?
This chapter is kind of fast-past if you ask me but I don't know. You should wright a little more in your chapters.
Well sounds like there is definitely something up
another awesome chapter. although i find it hard to believe that Trixie could knock shining armor over, unless he was sick or just let her knock him down, after all he is captain of the royal guard.

Take a good look at Boast Busters and Magic Duel....if you look at Trixie's cutie mark, it shows clearly that hers is a cresent moon and what looks like a magic wand. I personally don't see pixie dust, but I will look at it later to see for myself (seeing it on the computer in 1080p is very nice
)
Just my .02. I'm not trying to be mean..
1903382 Trixie literally caught Shining Armor off his guard. He was in a state of psuedo-shock, you know? So, he was pretty vulnerable physically. Had he just been standing upright, Trixie wouldn't be able to knock him down since, you know, he's a big pony.

This isn't the first time this connection has been drawn. There were a lot of people who were really keen on in after we first saw Twilight's dad in Cutie Mark Chronicles, and there were a lot of artifact-heavy jpg screenshots getting posted as evidence of the connection. This mostly fell apart once better quality pictures became widely circulated. Twilight's dad has a mark of two crescent moons, one inside the other. Trixie has a mark of a magic wand and some sparkly something in a somewhat crescent shape. It looks an bit like a moon, but it's a bit too bent out of shape and distorted around the bottom end to very convincing under close scrutiny. Pixie dust or smoke is the most commonly held idea.
Now, this didn't stop people writing stories about how Twilight's parents were forced to put one of their twin daughters up for adoption for financial reason, though. Far from it; I think Twixie sister stories were a brief fad towards the beginning and middle of the first interseason. That died when Shining Armor entered canon, along with almost all of the "Twilight is an extremely socially isolated only child" fanon.
I would have been pissed if I found out my father started blanking memories just to cover his tracks. It was good other wise but some of it felt forced with the explanation and how accepted every pony took it.
wowowow
what?
Well, that was.....anti-climatic. You need to expand the story a little more in my opinion.
Wait, her mother was Luna? How is this not a big deal? Why does Mrs. Sparkle just immediately accept her husbands confession with neither shock nor disgust? Why isn't Trixie insulted at constantly being being called a mistake? Why do I ask so many questions? What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? And why is the story progressing so quickly?!
1907680 It's not supposed to be very climatic. The sheer strength of this story comes from its emotional charge presented with the conflicts of the characters. Not the presentation of the story itself.
I won't lie I was expecting a I already Knew.
WAIT A FREAKING MINUTE! LUNA LULAMOON!? Are you refering to or beloved princess of the night?
Her sister? -------->
if you are or arnt id greatly appreciate your insight on that. On the whole... i now have a few more episodes to re-watch.
1913783 That is mere coincidence. The Great and Apologetic Trixie is not related to Canterlot/Equestrian Royalty (as far as we know). And Twilight is only related by marriage as of "A Canterlot Wedding." Thus, the Luna mentioned in the story is not our beloved Princess Luna, but simply another pony with the same first name. Let's just say if the Luna was Princess Luna, Mr. Sparkle would've had his plot kicked pretty hard. And a lot more difficulty would have been present than what was already mentioned in the story.

I agree. At the very least, the father showed he cared more about not being caught than anything. Also, I'd bet a decent lawyer could push child abuse charges for screwing with her mind like that.
When Trixie leaves, the walls should be covered in Twilight, her brother and sister-in-laws blood.
Yeh, I think payback is in order.
Twilight for being kind of a snarky bitch in the earlier chapters.
The other two, for just going along..."gee we're going to basically abandon a small child. so daddy doesnt get into trouble. Afterwards we'll get ice-cream"
Also, the story does seem to be rushed along. I think, and no offense here, you could have spent more time filling out things. Setting up the scenes and background more.
Twilight has no clue how the real world works. Her dad cheated on her mom. She won't give a rats ass about any 'sacrifices' he made to 'make sure Trixie was safe, health and happy'. She will focus on the fact that he lied to her all these years.
Middle part, throws the 'good foster home' theory into the crapper.
I'm sorry, but that line is funny.
You didnt have any problem having her brother call Trixie a 'bastard' child. So why can't you just say, the old man had an affair?
No Trixie you aren't. You never got the same opportunities as Twilight. But then the way everyone just accepts it, with no hard feelings. Maybe you're better off. If I had to guess, that whole family is addicted to snacking on paint chips.
One would hope that, what wasn't documented in the story, is Trixie getting a check with a buttload of zeros on it.
Then use some of it, to hire a hitpony. To delete everyone who either used the term 'bastard' or 'mistake' in any way shape or form.
And given the same kind of chances to excel in life that Twilight got. Since she was pretty much screwed by a two timing, child abusing, dead-beat father.
1920204 I know if anything for that reason Mr. Sparkle got out easy for covering up his tracks. Meanwhile Trixie was living her own life whatever way possible not getting the same benefits as Twilight. Seriously, that is not cool. The story needed a bigger conflict, if I was Mrs. Sparkle, I'd be super pissed. Not, "oh I'm so sorry for being away for so long." Lady, it was your choice to go out on your job to help benefit your family, but it was also your husbands choice to fool around like unfaithfully.
If anything, the story could have did away with the Mr. Sparkle trying to cover his tracks and just seem like they were out one day when Trixie was a baby and got lost or kidnapped, never saw her ever again until this point.
I know the show/story is about ponies, sunshines, rainbows, sugar and farts but come on
1921092 I don't remember there being farts
1922061 Farts=The Whole Kitten Caboodle or also, "and all that good stuff"
good story. i liked it. it was very interesting.
1923806 Thank you! Thank God somepony appreciates my efforts!
It certainly is a unique way of how Twilight and Trixie are protrayed....I did like it. Well done.
So mr.sparkle + princess Luna =
???????
1926131 The Luna in the story is not Princess Luna, just another mare with the same name.
Thanks
1900582 Sir/Madam, I'm going to inquire what those italicized words are?
He's probably insane.
You stay out of this
Make me.
Sorry about him, he can be a real prick.
This needs to be canon. I DEMAND IT HASBRO! Imma headcanon this, but I think i'll keep Lulamoon as Trixie's last name
Ya know I would have expected Twi to react to the fact that he wanted to have her out of guilt and such.
2131385 Twilight's birth was not necessarily spawned from guilt; more specifically, it was simply the time of her birth. Her existence was inevitable. But Mr. Sparkle's guilt acted as a catalyst.
Admittedly this isn't the best written story and it breaks the 'show not tell' rule, but I'm liking and favouriting it anyways simply because you've managed to shape my new headcannon. Congratulations.
2316233 Are you saying that Novelle dun't know how to show, friend?
2316273 Pretty much. Particularly in the third chapter which was almost entirely exposition.
2316291 Well, yeah: it's flashback. And not even what I call "narrative" flashback, which is like the difference between dialogue and no dialogue in a work. Narrative flashbacks have dialogue; expository flashbacks - such as this one - don't. It's hard for anyone to show in expository anything, even stuff like an essay. Ironically, I find showing in an essay easier.
I've already admitted to everypony that I suck at writing fanfiction. In addition, this is a (no pun intended) fire-work: written with great expedition because I knew if I didn't act fast, I'd be accused of plagarisim by the time I get my work done. And because fire-work sounds 20% cooler than "speed-work."
2316529 Wait, why would you be accused of plagiarism?
2316606 Because the Brony community is the fastest-responding community in the world. If I have an idea for a fanfiction - especially one which is derived from the show itself, such as Trixie's Plot - it is very likely that somepony else has already written it up and published it. Thus, I'd be accused of stealing another's ideas, i.e. plagarisim. I, of course, never have intentions of doing so, and that's one of the reasons why I don't have more stories written, because I don't want to accidentally plagarize and have Fimfiction mad at me. So, when the iron's hot, I strike. And, many times, I also get an idea for a fanfiction, and it sounds cool in my head, but the I get it down on the screen and I'm like, "Now what?" In Holy Maretrimony is a victim of this unfortunate paradigm.
2316718 Ideas get reused so often that I don't think anyone even cares about plagiarism anymore. Seriously, I think I've seen about 150 fics about Lyra's obsession with hands. shudder
2316918 Wow...scary
2318824 Lack of originality is most definitely the most terrifying thing to ever happen to the fandom.
2318834 Agreed. But that's why we use the greatest invention of all time: imagination.
It created the show itself, and it's what created the millions of fanfiction already in existence, and the millions more to inevitably come.
