Twilight's involvement with Trixie's redeemption? What Happens?
Twilight finds Trixie, raggedy from travels during Heart's Warming season. Rainbow's Sonic Rainboom had powered up Trixie's Age Manipulation spell one day, and it bounced back. turning her into a teen. With Twilight Caring for her, Will Trixie find friendship or more? Something she's never had before?
It was nearing the Hearth Warming’s Day Festival. Twilight Sparkle was out walking home from the market when she saw a disheartening sight: A raggedy blue unicorn trudging through the street, with a group of young stallions pointing and laughing and throwing rocks at her. She went immediately to this mare’s aid.
“Stop! What do you guys think you’re doing? Assaulting this helpless pony?” She said with her best scolding voice.
“Humph! Why not? She can handle it; she is the Great and Powerful Trixie after all.” Sneered the group of colts. At the mention of the name, the poor figure choked out a sob.
“Look, I don’t care who she is, nopony deserves to be treated like that, especially during this time of year. Now BACK OFF!” She growled. The smirked again, and then cantered off. She turned back to find Trixie to see what the problem was, but saw nopony there. “Trixie! Where did you go?” Twilight called out. Her ears perked up. She saw her old cape hanging out from behind shop sign. She caught up, and what she was rather depressing.
Trixie’s coat was tarnished with dirt and mud and tears; it was obvious she hasn’t seen a proper shelter in quite a while. Her once flashy hat and cape were now nothing more than rags held together but a few stitches here and there. Her expression; it showed what had happened. Her expression from the past once portrayed pride and confidence, in excessive amounts. Now, it resembled broken glass. She was broken. But the biggest thing was…she seemed about 10 years younger…
“W-w-what d-do y-you w-w-want?” she cried, looking up. Then, her expression quickly changed to anger, and back to depressed. “O-oh, I-its j-j-just y-you…” Tears were still falling.
“Trixie, what happened? Twilight whispered in shock.
A little angrily, she said, “ When you defeated that beast, I was forced on the run, becoming the ridicule of Equestria.” More tears fell.
“Umm, Trixie, would you like to stay the library for time being?” Twilight asked gently, for fear of hurting her worse. She was afraid she did.
“W-what?” she look genuinely surprised. “B-b-but I…I treated y-your friends so badly…” Trixie sobbed again.
It made Twilight’s heart ache to see somepony in so much pain.
“It’s alright,” She cooed, “come to the library, and you can stay for as long as necessary.”
“Th-th-thank y-you!” she said, giving the purple mare a hug. She quickly remembered that she was…well, filthy, so she backed off, blushing. “umm…”
“Well, that settles it!” Twilight exclaims in a much brighter tone. “Let’s go!”

(Trixie’s POV)
I was…happy. I was so tired…ever since that one fiasco at Ponyville, I was shunned. Word spread quickly about my sham, and no city, town or village would stand to let me perform, lest they call me names, and throw objects at me. I trudged everywhere, and I thought. I thought about my past.
“Hey Trixie,” Twilight said after dinner. It was delicious. Much better than what I deserve. “I was wondering, who are you?” Eh? This confused me.
“W-what do you mean?” I whimpered. “I-I-I’m not…
“No, sorry, you misunderstood. When I first met you, I saw you as arrogant, and, of course, a boaster. But now, you seem…nicer.”
“No, not nicer, I’m…I don’t know. I didn’t use to be so arrogant, like you mentioned, before I was…” and then I started my life’s story.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Regular POV.
“Move it, Pixie!” Trixie was shoved aside from a jerk Pegasus named Quick.
“Sorry” She mumbled. She picked up her things and moved on. At the end of the day, she went her way home, when Quick and his ‘friends’ intercepted her.
“Hey Pixie, where do you think you’re going?” Quick sneered.
“Home.” She said in a terrified whisper.
“Naw, I don’t think so.” Quick said with a sadistic grin.
They took all of her bits and took her beat her. Trixie had this diary. She drew pictures and wrote what she felt like in it: Her favorite things, that cute filly in class, even Mr. Magic, her raggedy doll. Well they stole her diary. They were going to read it at school and there was nothing she could do about it. Things like this happened on a regular basis. One time they took her saddle bag, and hung it on top of the school flag pole. The other time, they teased her so much, she was just in tears in the middle of class. The teacher couldn’t do anything about the boys, because, they’ve snuck into her house and found black-mail material. Some things are better left unsaid.
“S-stop! W-w-what did I ever do?” she cried.
“Simple. You existed.” He said coldly. “I just don’t like you, because you are useless. Everybody here has some purpose. YOU are just another blank flank.”
The words ‘blank flank’ felt like a ton of rocks.-
“I…” She stopped and ran away as fast as she could.
“I hate my life…” she said quietly as she got away somewhere alone. This is how she spent most of her days. Alone. She preferred it that way; it’s true, she was still a blank flank, and she didn’t really do to well in most of her classes, except magic. She didn’t want to go home. The look of disappointment on her father’s face, and the emptiness of her mother’s seat at the table hurt beyond belief.
She decided to run away. That way, those bullies at school would no longer bother her. Her dad wouldn’t have to worry about her anymore. That night, she packed a spell book, Mr. Magic, some apples and bits, a blanket, and a picture of her mother. She turned, and headed towards. Manehatten. As she ran away, she cast a couple trick spells to prolong her disappearance. She tied her blanket around her like a cape, and started her journey, without realizing her cutie mark had appeared under that blanket.
“Oops, s-sorry sir.” Trixie stuttered, as she bumped into a rather well dressed gentlepony.
“Oh, quite all right lass!” He boomed with laughter. He was a jolly old unicorn, with a caduceus as his cutie mark.
He must be a doctor, she thought.
“Well, I must be going…” she said, and started off.
“To where, Manehatten? Alone?” he said raising an eyebrow.
“Ummm…” she mumbled. She started to tear up when she wondered where she was going to stay that night. ‘No! I have to stay strong. I can’t just let some stranger see me cry!’
“Humph, so you are alone. Well, it seems I’m going to have to fix that!” He said with a smile.
Trixie’s jaw dropped.
“R-really? I-I mean…I just can’t take such an-“ She was interrupted.
“Nonsense! I insist! You wouldn’t be troubling me at all!” He smiled.
“I-I’d l-love to stay the night! Thank you Mr….” Trixie realized she didn’t know the kind pony’s name.
“You can call me Hermes!” He said. “and you misunderstand me, no, I was offering a place to live. You surely don’t think I would let a helpless filly wander around in this busy city? ” He added that last part sternly.
Trixie’s jaw dropped. Again.
“By the way, I never did, catch you name…”Hermes said
“M-m-my name? Trixie. My name is Trixie.” She said breathlessly, barely believing her luck. She promptly fainted.

O_O-O_O
As soon as possible, Trixie was carried to a very large home. Trixie was immediately bathed and fed a decent meal. She was shown her room.
“Here it is! Your very own room!” Hermes said proudly. Trixie gasped. It was a large room, twice as large as her old room. There was a deep blue color job, a TV, a desk, and her bed.
“Oh, and one thing. There is something I was hoping you could help me with…” said Hermes, looking a little down.
“Yes? Thank you so much! I’ll do anything!” Trixie said with a giant grin.
“I want you to try and befriend my daughter. She is shy and a bit lonely.” He sounded saddened again. “But I noticed your Cutie Mark, and I thought you could be the perfect friend.” He said cheerfully.
‘Wow, this guy is a little bit weird…wait, what?’
“i-i-I have a Cutie Mark!?” She practically screamed. She turned to look at her flank. There was a wand with a small streak of sparkles. She looked at the amused face belonging to Mr. Hermes.
“You didn’t know? Hmm, interesting. Nonetheless, can you do magic tricks?”
“A-a few.” She closed her eyes and concentration and produced a couple firework-like sparks. After that, she picked up a pencil from the desk and made it do flips and turns. Basic tricks.
“Aw, isn’t that precious! Well, let’s meet her right away! Cheerio! (oh dear, tomorrow I have to go off to see my niece Pinkie…Well, no job is too big for Hermes Pie!).
A few minutes later, introductions were made.
“Trixie, I’d like you to meet Rena. Rena, meet Trixie!” He bounded off…huh. Are unicorns able to jump on air like that?
“Hi…”
“Hi Rena, I’m Trixie…the great and powerful!” she let out a spark for emphasis. “Heh, I just made that name up…”
“I like it!” Rena giggled.
Over the next couple years, they played and grew up with each other, becoming like sisters.
“Daddy! Trixie hurt my dolly!” whined filly Rena.
“It was an accident!” Trixie said. “I was trying to make it glow, but I got it wrong…” She sounded a bit hurt.” Hermes only chuckled. He fired up his horn and fixed the little damage.
“Go and play nice now.” He smiled
Trixie always kept her side of the deal, being Rena’s friend. It made them both happy.
“Did you learn something new today?” Rena asked, as they were about to enter their house.
“Take a look,” Trixie just smiled. Her horn glowed, and then fired a blast, releasing two large fireworks into the bright sky; A huge, blue Bass symbol expanded in the atmosphere, Rena’s Cutie mark, as did a large wand, surrounded by hundreds of little stars. “Ah!” Trixie groaned.
It was a breathtaking vista. Rena was so blown away; she could only hug Trixie, only to find her sister unconscious from the effort. Rena smiled once more, and carried Trixie to her bed.
They both ended up going to Manehatten High. Rena focused on music, concerning her double bass, Trixie studied illusionary magic.
“Rena, you’re sure to impress Stardust with that cello of yours, you’re a master at it!” Trixie said one day.
“No, I have a long ways to go yet, but you’ll definitely awe Umbre with your magnificent shows!” Rena replied. Stardust and Umbre, two popular colts in their year, both of them single. I'm sure you guys can work this out.
“Rena, I guess we both have a lot to work on…” Trixie grinned awkwardly.
But like always, things didn’t turn out so well for her. On her last week of high school, she and Rena received terrible news. Hermes was on a business trip, and was flying to the Neightherlands, and the plane crashed, None of the ponies survived. Later, because of law complications, Trixie had to leave.
Through the tears shed, Rena gave her a parting gift, her own magic caravan. Trixie left the next day. She never could pull off the amazing illusions and tricks like she could in the past, because, like some of you may know, a unicorn’s magic runs oemotions, and feelings. Trixie could no longer put trust in emotions like love, could no longer hold a proper friendship.
She turned lonely, and started lying to her crowds, lying to herself. Becoming a braggart, becoming a liar. Becoming haughty. When the Ursa Minor attacked Ponyville, she lost her caravan. Her last gift from Rena. Rena didn’t keep in touch with Trixie, because of her extremely busy lifestyle, and also the fact that Trixie always moved from town to town. Trixie spirited herself from town to town, until she re-came upon Ponyville.
“I, I’m so sorry…” Twilight whispered. “oh, and uh, why are you…you know…young?”
“I-I was doing an age manipulation spell on a mouse, for practice. It was on the same day as that famous Best Young Flyer Competition. Suddenly, in the middle of my 4th practice spell, bright rainbow appeared in the sky for a moment, and my magic was amplified, and…I acciden
tly hit myself… I couldn’t change myself back…” Trixie said with a deep blush.
“Wow…” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry if it seems rushed in certain areas, but Critique is appreciated! enjoy the first, i believe, Trixie gets adopted by Twilight story!
PS i'm kind of a slow writer, so I'll Try my Best to get my Chapters done once every 1 1/2 weeks, something like that
"Wow. I... ah. I never knew your life was so... Difficult" Twilight said, slightly shaken.
"Um, I-I-if y-you don't m-mind me asking, Trixie said timidly, "w-where do I spend the night?"
"Don't worry about it! You can sleep in my bed; I have a spare bed. Spike! Do you know-"
"Got it! I am your number one assistant, remember?" he grinned as he pulled out the spare mattress. Trixie blushed; how long had he been here?
"Thanks Spike." she smiled.
She showed Trixie the way to the washroom and prepared for bed. After cleaning up, the pair made way for bed. Twilight threw on a couple blankets. "Goodnight Spike, goodnight Trixie. We'll make this work out." She said that last part to herself and fell asleep, thinking on what she could to help Trixie.
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
The next day, Twilight set out to find her friends. Trixie went along unwillingly.
-earlier-
"w-what if they're still mad?" Trixie whimpered. "T-they have e-every reason to."
"Don't worry about it" if you're going to stay here with me, you’re going to have to apologize.” She added the last part with authority. "Let’s go apologize to Applejack. "
Trixie gulped.
-now-
"Why heya there Twi… Twi, what in tarnation, is she doin' here!?"
"Eep" Trixie suddenly made an excellent Fluttershy impression.
“Calm down Applejack, she’s just here to apologize.” Twilight said.
"Ah don' believe it" AJ announced with contempt. “ ‘Ya dare show yer face ‘round here again-“
"I-....." Trixie apologized incoherently.
"Pardon?" AJ said with a bewildered look on her face. This was the 'great and powerful Trixie they got humiliated by a while back?
"I-I s-said that I w-was s-sorry" Trixie whispered. She looked terrified.
Applejack looked like all her apples grew legs and started tap-dancing. She expected an apology as much as the apples tap-dancing.
"Well, shucks, she did apologize, but how can ah be sure she ain’t lyin'." Applejack shot back. “And wah’ in tarnation is she a filly?” she whispered to Twilight
"Applejack, please, you can trust her, you have no idea what she's been through." Twilight said seriously. “And, when Rainbow Dash did her Sonic Rainboom again, she accidently caused Trixie to use an age-manipulation spell on herself.
"Aww, shoot Twilight, I accept her ‘polagy' but I ain’t trustin’ 'er yet!" she said gruffly.
As she turned to leave, she took a glance at, to see a tear fall from her face. Before she could think of anything else, she started running, wondering if she had been too rough on her.
"Shhh, don’t cry Trixie,” Twilight said gently. She ran her hoof down her mane. “Let’s go find Rarity, and apologize to her next. Don’t worry, I’ll be with you.”
-//--//--//--//--//--//--
"Well I never!" Rarity said when the pair walked into her Boutique. Trixie did her best to hide behind Twilight. “And, err, why are you…small?”
"Calm down Rarity, She's changed. Look at her!" Twilight exclaimed. “and umm, there was an age-manipulation spell problem.”
"Um, hi. " Trixie said nervously. "I-uh..." she went back to hide behind Twilight. Twilight stepped aside.
"Trixie, why did we come here?" Twilight asked sternly.
"I came..."she mumbled out her apology.
"I beg your pardon?" Rarity snapped. Rarity’s angry aura was a bit overwhelming.
"I s-said I-I came t-to say, I'm sorry for ruining your mane... She mumbles silently.
"Well! If you're not going to say anything, then I highly suggest you to leave." Rarity nearly growls.
Trixie panicked. "M-mom...I-I-I m-m-mean T-Twilight, I'm scared." Trixie said with a deep blush on her face.
"I," Twilight faltered. 'Mom?' she wondered. "Rarity, what she's trying to say is that she's really sorry about ruining your mane.”
Rarity was taken aback. Not just with the apology, but with her actions. She seems completely opposite than the last time they met. "I.. err, Apology accepted.”
But Trixie had already run out the Boutique, filled with shame. Yes, Trixie was much younger than Twilight, but she acted like the mother she never had. But Twilight wasn’t her mother... she probably thought that Trixie was mocking her or something. Maybe she could run away again.
"Trixie!" Trixie turned to look back. Twilight was looking for her! She started to run. Trixie did forget one thing though. Lights flashed.
"Silly, I can teleport!" Twilight giggled. But she quickly became somber. "Why did you call me mom?"
"I’m well, actually I am a teenager..."
"And?”
"Even though it’s only been one day, I feel like you actually care about me...like a mom…" Trixie said quietly.
Twilight, despite the situation, giggled. "I'm not that old, you silly filly!" Trixie blushed. Despite the show, Twilight had an idea. This filly was young, and honestly, needed to be re-guided. She couldn't live alone, she needed somebody... She needed a mother. "Do you want me to adopt you as my daughter?" Trixie froze. ‘what? Me? Officially adopted?’ it seemed to good to be true.
"N-no...that’s alright..." Trixie whispered. "Look can I apologize to the rainbow mare later? I-I need to be alone. "
The following week, Trixie hung around the library, helping Spike and Owlowlicious organizing the books and things. She got to know Twilight very well in that time period and was happy. For the first time since Hermes, she was truly happy. Rainbow Dash was on vacation for 2 weeks, so they still had another week until she came back.
"I was serious about adopting you, you know." Twilight said one day.
"I'm still thinking about it." she replied quietly. She was thinking what happened the past week. Pinkie Pie found out about her and wanted to throw a signature party, but Twilight told her to let this pass by quietly. Yesterday she met Fluttershy. It was...incredibly awkward.
She turned to look at Twilight. Unsure of what to say, she just looked down. Then...
"W-what are you doing Twilight?"
"Giving you a hug! You always seemed down, and, you looked like you needed one." Twilight smiled. She thought to herself. Why was she being so…motherly. ‘I know being nice to her is important for her recovery, but, especially after she called me mom, I really feel like I have to take care of her. She’s a teenager again, and somebody needs to re-guide her, maybe make her a better person than she once was. And Pinkie Pie has really rubbed off of me.’ Twilight held on, then patted Trixie on her mane.
Trixie broke out fresh tears, happy tears. She tightened the embrace. She was happy here. Maybe she’ll take Twilight up on her offer.
“Twilight, are you sure about this?” Trixie nervously inquired. She was cantering around back and forth. Rainbow Dash was coming in two days.
“Yes, and think it’s a great idea. Besides, I’m sure that when Rainbow Dash comes back finding that we’re a family, then, it’ll help her forgive you; you’ll need all the help you can get, Rainbow Dash is really stubborn.
“Yeah…” The two proceeded to office. After a couple hours of paperwork, Twilight was a mother.
“So, I guess you’re my mom now…”Trixie nervously laughed.
Twilight put on a straight poker face. She suddenly stared at Trixie. “ Eeyup!” She said with her best Big Mac impression.
Trixie giggle uncontrollably. Then she blushed.
“I-heh heh. I haven’t laughed like that in a while.” She smiled apologetically.
“Don’t be sorry, you silly filly! Laughter is a wonderful thing! Twilight giggled. “I never thought that I would say this, but let’s go ask Pinkie Pie too-“
“I’m already on it! I’m going the make the Bestest, westest ‘Twilight is Trixie’s mom’ party EVER!!!” Pinkie Pie jumped out of a nearby bush!
“AAH!” Trixie screamed. She quickly re-collected herself, and then sputtered. “H-how? Wuh, when, wuah, How?”
“Don’t worry, Aunt Pinkie has this all backed up!” Pinkie Pie jumped back in the bush. Trixie went over to the bush and practically tore it apart.
“H-h-h-ow?” Trixie shuddered.
“Motherly lesson number one. Never, ever, to try and understand Pinkie Pie. Most of the stuff she does makes no sense, but she’s a great pony…*giggle* I’m going to make you call her Aunty Pinky!” Twilight said. She started to walk away, heading towards to the Sugarcube Corner. “We are going to that party now!” She said with determination.
“L-lets just go home, please. Just for a little while? ” Trixie was preparing her for one of her greatest tricks. One that required no magic at all.
PS. Cliched 4th wall break is cliched. I REGRET NOTHING
“But, we need to go the-“ Twilight turned around. “Alright, we’ll go home, for just a bit and then we’ll head to the party.”
You may be wondering what Trixie might have done to change Twilight’s mind. Was it a death glare? No. Was Trixie’s horn glowing dangerously? Nope!
She was pulling off, the most adorable puppy face she could manage. The cuteness; calling it adorable would do it no justice. Holy Celestia. It. Was. CUTE!
**later at the house**
“Mo-Twi-…..Do I have to call you mom or Twilight?” Trixie asked.
“Hmmm, call me Mom! I think that’s cute.” Twilight said.
“Ok, Mom.” Trixie picked up a brush with her magic, and then brushed her mane. “Spike, how do I look?”
“You look great Trixie!” Spike said enthusiastically.
“Thanks Spike!” She turned and called out to Twilight. “Mom, we should get going!”
There was something weird about calling Twilight ‘Mom’ For starters, Twilight was the reason that Trixie had become ridiculed in the first place. But, as she eventually came back to Ponyville, she was the only one to show her kindness; the only one to reach out her hoof and be her friend. And even later, her mother. She was almost glad that her age- manipulation spell had gone wrong.
*later at the party*
Trixie practically pranced all the way to the Sugarcube corner. Twilight smiled the whole way there. There wasn’t a worry in the air. That is, until they actually got to the Sugarcube Corner.
“Umm, Twi, We need tah talk” Applejack said. The arrival of the party was surprisingly cold. Pinkie Pie gave her signature warm greetings, and Fluttershy gave a happy smile; she was glad to hear about the news (for reasons to be explained later). But Rarity and Applejack did not react so. They glared at Trixie, who slinked back behind Twilight. Rainbow Dash flew out muttering something about missing practice.
“Uhh, sure Applejack. Hey, Trixie, you should go and have fun! Pinkie’s playing…what are you playing?” Twilight Inquired.
“Pin the hat on the human!” Pinkie Pie shouted.
“What’s a human?” Trixie asked.
“Well, they’re they guys that have hands, arms and only two legs. They write about us and watch shows about us!” Trixie looked at Twilight, and then did the coo-coo sign behind Pinkie’s back. Twilight shrugged.
“Umm…ooookkkk. So Fluttershy, what’s up?”
*Behind the counter*
“What in tarnation!?” Applejack whisper/screams.
“Just what exactly were you thinking, dear?” Rarity does like-wise.
“What are you guys talking about?”
“UMM! Maybeh that yah ADOPTED the very same mare that wrecked Ponyville a while back?”
“But you guys have to understand, she’s changed. She’s not the mare you think she is.” Twilight stated firmly.
Applejack was silent at that. She remembered that tear fall from Trixie’s face when she lashed at her. She felt a little guilty about that. Did she really change?
“Alright-y then, I’ll give her a chance. But, if she goes back to being all braggy, I’m running her out of town.” Applejack said gruffly.
“Well, I for one want proof on how you know she changed!” Rarity said stubbornly.
“Rarity,” Twilight said sharply, “You saw her run away. You scared her, and made her cry.”
“That doesn’t mean anything! She could have been acting!” Rarity protested.
“Honestly, I’m a bit upset at you for doing that, but I’m willing to forgive. So should you. Do you think the old Trixie would do any of those things: hide, act bashfully or cry? Would she have called me mom?”
Rarity was also silenced. The realization hurt a little.
“Alright, I’ll trust your judgment for now. But I think that you’re making a mistake, darling.” Rarity said with an expression to one eating a lemon. But Twilight was glad. They were willing to give Trixie another chance, and that was all that mattered.
Trixie was backed into a corner, with frightened tears streaming down her face. Just one last obstacle…and the most difficult at that. A prideful, stubborn Rainbow Dash.
“Rainbow Dash! Listen!” Twilight shouted.
“What? She’s the one who brought an Ursa Minor and wrecked Ponyville, and humiliated us because she thought she was the best in the WHOLE FREAKING UNIVERSE!” Rainbow Dash screamed. “You guys thought I was ok when she ran off! I wanted to chase her down and then throw her in Poison Joke!” She stopped suddenly. “I, hate, losing with a passion.” She glared angrily at Trixie.
Rainbow Dash’s pride had been stomped on that day. And it really ached to see that same mare back. That mare was scared senseless. Trixie ran out, with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy right behind her, to calm her down. Twilight had to get Dashie to calm down.
“Rainbow Dash,” Twilight said calmly. “calm down. I won’t have you treating my daughter like that.
“Whaaaa- Alright. I’m going to wake up now.” She walked over to the iced punch and dumped it on herself. “AHH! That’s REALLY cold! And…I still haven’t woken up yet…so does that mean-“
*facehoof*
“Yes Rainbow Dash. She really is my daughter. I just very recently adopted her. She has led a very rough life. She’s changed. Rainbow…give her a chance. Please.”
“Grr, maybe later Twi, but, right now, I can’t bring myself to do that.” She then flew off.
“Maybe later hmm? Well, maybe we can resolve this later…” She turned and went to try and enjoy the party, celebrating her new daughter.
“MOM! I just found out some disturbing news…” Trixie shuddered.
“What is it? You found a coltfriend?” Twilight teased. Trixie blushed.
“N-no, that’s not it at all! Pinkie Pie…is kind of my cousin… And now she’s going to throw me another party.” Trixie said.
“Ok… I’m completely lost. Explain.” Twilight’s ears perked. It was one week after the party, and Twilight was letting Trixie write to Celestia about what she learned about friendship. It was a…different letter. But we’ll get to that later.
“Well, you know I used to live with Hermes right? His full name was Hermes Pie.” Twilights eyes widened. “He always did some weird things, like bounce around, make silly rhymes, and he always loved it when Rena and I laughed. He did mention Pinkie a few times, something about visiting his brother’s rock farm. I just never made the connection until now. Weird…”
“That, is truly random.” Twilight said. “Well. Let’s get ready for the party; after you finish your homework of course.” Twilight was secretly amazed at the magical capacity Trixie held. Truly, her magic had very advanced tricks. The night before, Trixie finally pulled of something that warmed Twilight to the very core. Trixie had been out all day Saturday, running off saying something about she had practice. That night, Twilight saw her cutie mark expand up in the sky, clear as crystal, and no less beautiful. Twilight ran out and found her unconscious from the effort, but Twi just smiled and carried her home.
Trixie groaned. “Homework? I know you homeschool me…but I intend on working on my magic!”
“But it doesn’t hurt to know the history of magic, and physics.”
“BUT physics hardly work here! Have you seen Auntie Pinkie!” *blush*(d-did I just say that?) Trixie thought.
Twilight giggled. “Alright, I’ll let you off today. Let’s go to the party!”
The the next day, they celebrated the 'Pinkie really is Aunt Pinkie'
“Pinkie, you are amazing!” Trixie was at her second party and was enjoying every second of it. Her new life at Ponyville was amazing; most all of the ponies were nice, and many people forgave her when they saw that Twilight was her new Mom. Heh, She never would have imagined, that Twilight, of all ponies, would end up being her mother she never had. She was happy here. There was one thing that bothered her though.
Rainbow Dash has yet to forgive her. She went to Fluttershy to see what she could about it.
“Hey, Aunt Fluttershy?” Trixie decided that she would nickname Pinkie and Fluttershy ‘Auntie’.
“Aunt? Umm…yes Trixie? What’s wrong?” ‘Aunt’ Fluttershy responded; she sensed something was ajar.
“I was wondering, you’ve known Rainbow Dash a long time right?” Trixie inquired.
“Yes, even before I got my Cutie Mark.” She said reminiscently
“Well, do you know what I should do to apologize? B-but, I g-get scared…” Trixie started to stutter. Trixie hated her stutter. Whenever she was scared or upset, she let loose a horrible stutter. And, unbeknownst to some ponies, she had a lot of fears.
“ Ohh, I don’t know,” Fluttershy said in her usual quiet voice, “ Rainbow Dash is a really prideful pony. I think you should be just forward about it, and admit whatever you did quickly; she hates anything slow…if that’s ok with you, I mean.” She ended.
“Th-thanks Fluttershy…” Trixie walked away, shaking in her hooves. She knew what pride was like. And she knew what it was like to have your pride crushed. Her loss at Ponyville didn’t crush her. It hurt her pride deeply, but when Discord wreaked his chaos…Trixie became corrupted too. She felt everything looked down on her, she felt like the lowest of the low. Every hour she was corrupted. She trudged through town, tears openly flowing down her face. She did her best to keep herself hidden from crowds, tried her hardest to be anonymous. Even if Rainbow Dash’s wounded pride wasn’t to that extent…this was going to be difficult…and very scary. Trixie winced.
On that happy note, Trixie tried to enjoy the rest of the party. She pushed that thought to the back of her head for later, and tried to enjoy her 2nd cupcake. It left an ever-so-slight bitter taste in her mouth.
Maybe it was because Pinkie tried a new recipe.

“Sorry mom, I have to do this myself.” Trixie said to herself after the party. But she wasn’t planning on leaving Twilight completely in the dark; She told Aunt Pinkie where she was going just in case anybody asked. Pinkie Pie just smiled,
“Good luck! Dashie is stubborn so try your bestiness! By the way, you do know where to find her right?” Pinkie asked.
“Uhh…” Trixie replied.
Pinkie giggled. “She’s probably out napping on the cloud next to the bridge!”
Trixie made her way to the bridge and found Rainbow Dash.
“R-Rainbow Dash!” She squeaked.
Dash’s eye twitched; she looked down and saw Trixie. Rainbow Dash angrily flew down angrily.
“What do you want!? Another chance at humiliating me and my friends?” Rainbow Dash shouted.
“N-n-no…” Trixie stuttered. “ I-I d-don’t w-want to d-d-do th-that.” Yes! So Far so good!
“Well, then what!?” Dashie glared. Trixie shook.
“I…” the glare paralyzed her. She couldn’t make any noise besides dry squeaks. The tears began to fall.
Seeing how her glare was terrifying the young filly, Dash softened up. She realized this fear was very real. It was actually a bit pitiful to watch…
“Hey,” She said less forcefully, “no, stop. Don’t cry. What was it you wanted to say?” She said little bit more gently.
“I’m s-sorry…I’m s-sorry for humiliating y-you.” She whispered, trying to hide behind her mane; she could have passed for a blue and white Fluttershy. Rainbow, for the first time, looked remorseful for shouting at her; this is Twi’s daughter, Dash remembered. This filly was apologizing for her wrongs, she learned her lesson. The sorrow on her face was enough, and the fear…the fear made Rainbow Dash feel ashamed; was it really her, an Element of Harmony, scaring the wits out of this turned mare?
“No, it’s ok, I’m sorry for shouting at you. I shouldn’t have let my pride get in the way.” Rainbow Dash answered gently.
“Friends?”
Trixie merely nodded. “C-can we g-go back now?”
Rainbow Dash smiled. Maybe things would work out for the better. Here, hop on my back, let’s go get some cake.”
“Th-thank you.” Trixie finally smiled.
They flew back to the Sugar Cube Corner, where they all enjoyed cupcakes, cookies and sarsaparilla. Except Trixie. She doesn't like sarsaparilla. She and enjoyed juice boxes.
“Hey mom,” Trixie walked up to Twilight after the party they were at the library, and getting ready to go to bed. “I l-love you, please, don’t ever leave me.” Trixie nuzzled Twilight’s mane. Twilight smiled.
“Don’t worry, I love you too…I won’t leave. Pinkie Pie promise. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my." She paused, "eye.” Twilight swore.
“Thank you so much” Trixie giggled. She leaned in, and embraced Twilight. “Thank you…” ---------------- Now, recently I have been grounded, so i will be putting this on Hiatus for a while. But i will make every effort to break the rules and to continue to work on the next chapter. i shall take your advice and slow this down more detail it shall be.

"Oh, hello." Fluttershy replied, rivaling her tone.
You see my readers, when Fluttershy and Trixie first met, they obviously had much to say.
Trixie had just seen Twilight jump behind the Sugarcube Corner's Counter, Applejack and Rarity bother jumped there with her. Trixie saw where this was going. Maybe Twilight would see how she didn't deserve to be here, After all, she did treat them horribly in the past. Trying to hide behind her mane, she tried to shy away from the party, maybe grab an apple, and try and move to the next town.
"So! Are you enjoying your party? Are you? Please? Because I really hope you are but that look on your face is a frowny-wowny face and we just have to turn that upside down...unless..." The Pink One's mane started to deflate. "You...don't like it?"
"N-no! I-I m-mean yes...n-no I-I..." Trixie looked confused again, and took a deep breath. " Thank you for the party, but i just don't feel...right."
Pinkie re-inflated. She grinned. "NONSENSE!" She put a cupcake in Trixie's mouth. and Bounded around. Then she started to sing...
"Trixie, you look quite down. With your big sad eyes, and your big fat frown.
...The world doesn't have to be so grey! Trixie, when you're life's a mess, When you're feeling blue, always in distress, I know what can wash that sad away.
All you have to do is; Put a fresh cupcakes in you're ear! (Cupcakes in my ear?) Trixie said
Put a fresh baked cupcake right into your favourite ear. It's true. (Says who?)
So true. Once it's in your gloom will disappear. The bad in the world is hard to hear, When in your ear a fresh cupcake cheers, So go and put a fresh cupcake in your ear! Put a fresh cupcake in your ear! (I'd rather keep my ear clear.) Trixie muttered. Even remorseful, she isn't all muffins and cupcakes.
You will never be happy if you live your life in fear. It's true (s-says you.)
So true, When it's in the skies are bright and clear. Oh every day of every year, The sun shines bright on this big blue sphere, So go and put a fresh cupcake in your ear![1] BOOM!! (Oh my Celestia, did she just...a confetti/balloon cannon? Isn't that dangerous!?)
"Umm..." was all Trixie had to say.
"Oh don't mind Pinkie," Fluttershy started. She's just excited and doesn't want anyone to frown...you should have seen Cranky..."
"B-but I still don't get it...Why are you guys...nice? Kind? Throwing me a party even though I humiliated your friends? Trixie was still confused. She was suprised Twilight would accept her, but Fluttershy and Pinkie? It was like the story, How the Grinchpony Stole Hearts Warming Day. Her little Pony heart grew three times that party.
"This feels like a dream..." Trixie said, " I never would have thought that Twilight, the one I considered to be my rival, would...be my mother" Trixie squealed, emphasizing 'mother.' She then blushed.
"Yes, I was surprised too." Fluttershy whispered. " But if you ever want a quiet place drink tea, I'll be at my cottage. I can forgive you for being a little braggy, after all, one time Applejack bragged how she could buck all the apples in her farm, and Rainbow is always bragging about her flying. But its ok, because people learn from there mistakes, right?"
Had anypony else said that, the correspondent might have been upset, but Fluttershy put it in such a way, that, Trixie felt accepted.
"Thank you," She paused to hug Fluttershy. They both blushed. "Thank you so much..."
"AND THAT'S HOW EQUESTRIA WAS MADE!!" Pinkie Shouted.
"Yeah..." Trixie smiled, as she gave Pinkie a hug too.
The party continued. Fluttershy and Trixie didn't talk much for the rest of the time, Fluttershy's shyness getting in the way, and Trixie's overly done remorse. Nothing could go wrong.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?"
Guys, if you see any errors, in my defense, I did this in my small pockets of spare time. I'm not doing the best in school, and I'm doing this in complete secret. Oh, and By the way, I just wanted to put this here. I Call Patent on this idea. Personally, I just don't have many of my own ideas, and i'm very proud of the fact that I had this idea, so PLEASE don't take this from me,
Thank you guys so much, I'm also open to suggestions in the comments! i think one of the best parts of the Brony Community is that i have not seen a single troll, and just about every comment i have ever read on this site was fair. thank you guys!!
Mom…I’ve been thinking,” Trixie said one day, “I need a job.”
“Why?” Twilight asked, looking up from her book. “Is there something you want to buy, or-“
“No, that’s not it…I just want to take responsibility over something you know?”
“But you’re too young for a job!” Twilight suddenly exclaimed.
“Wha- What are you talking about, I-I f-fully confide-dent that I can m-manage a job!” Trixie nervously shot back. Twilight sent her a stern look. “Ok, m-maybe not fully confident..”
Twilight was hurt by this image still. The Great and Powerful Trixie, a confident mare, always nervous. But still, she was slowly growing like the Old Trixie, without all the arrogance.
“You work here sometimes though, and you get an allowance.” Twilight giggled to herself. When she first introduced the allowance concept, Trixie looked quite surprised, and Twilight had over complicated the entire process. But that is another story, to be told another time.
“Yes, but shelving books isn’t what I want to do. I want to do something else. Besides,” She poked the purple dragon conveniently stationed near by within poking-distance, “Spike and Owloysius do most of the organizing anyways.”
“Well…if you put it that way, fine. If you can find a job by the end of this week, it’s a deal.” Twilight said. “You have five days.”
“What was that? What? What deal… ” Trixie asked, confusion written all over her face. 'was she implying we were arguing?'
Twilight lifted up her book cover. Ponies guide to Parenting by Sav. E. Mepleaze.
Trixie facehoofed.
.______________.
Day 1
“Where should I head off to… Maybe Mrs. Mayor can help.” She trotted off to the Town Hall, to see if there was help there.
Nervously, Trixie walked in, trying to hide behind her mane, she went up to the reception desk.
“H-hello, I’m Trixie S-sparkle, and I-I was wondering if you knew of any jobs that might be available…” her voice shrunk.
Mrs. Mayor, who happened to like to do her work directly, looked at her.
“Say, you’re the proclaimed ‘Great and Powerful Trixie, are you not?” She peered down at her. Trixie struggled with herself, but she saw no point in lying.
“Y-yes…yes I am,” she whispered, barely audible. ‘Oh Celestia, it’s going to happen, I knew it, I practically am a criminal here aren’t I, I should jus-‘ she stopped in mid-thought. The Mayor was giggling.
“Oh-ho! Do forgive me, it’s just, the change, oh the change! It’s quite humorous.” She chuckled.
“Hey!” Trixie started, with angry tears, “I’m not weak if that’s what you’re getting at!”
“No, of course not dear.” Mrs. Mayor said, clearly not believe her. Do not think poorly of Mrs. Mayor, the amount of paperwork that she had to go through due the Ursa Minor was piled so high, Twilight herself would have fainted from pressure; building damages, lawsuit cases, realty problems, insurance, the press…it’s fair to say that she was fairly peeved…oh buck it, she was pissed like hell. Simple as that.
“I’ll show you, I’ll show you real good.” Trixie was openly crying now. Now the Mayor did falter and frown, she didn’t mean to make her cry.
.____.
During the high-point of the day, she went out to the busiest square in Ponyville. She gathered a deep, deep breath. She hoped Pinkie would do her job. Currently, she waited behind a curtain. Earlier that day, Trixie asked Aunt Pinkie to narrate a show. A magic show. You ponies work out the rest.
“Mares and Gentlecolts, foals of all ages! I present to you, the Greatly Changed Trixie!” Pinkie Pie shouted! Oh pinkie, you just had to say the first thing to come to your sugary brain, didn’t you… Trixie nervously walked up the stage. Immediately, a handful of ponies left the crowd, and half of the crowd looked distasteful. Trixie would have to give her best.
“Why the long faces? I was hoping to see a more cheerful crowd!” Trixie tried, her horn glowed, and bouquets of flowers rained out into the crowd. They looked a little more cheery after that. The flower trio examined them, and smiled genuinely. Trixie conjured her own flower, and placed it in a box, and pulled it back out. Her horn glowed while it was in the box, and the crowd looked eagerly, they were not disappointed. Out from a box, she pulled out a cupcake.
“Hey, what kind of a trick is that?” a pony with a country accent yelled from the crowd. “I bet mos’ here Unicorns can do that, you haven’t changed a bit, have yah’?” This comment stabbed her like a rusty knife, but she had to keep focused.
“You see here a cupcake, right? Is it truly a cupcake? Alas, no, it is a muffin!” poof, the icing disappeared, and was left a chocolate-chip muffin. Would anyone from the crowd like to come up and eat i-“ She was immediately greeted by the infamous Derpy Hooves.
“I would!” She exclaimed. Excitement shined in her eyes. They screamed, ‘Do want!’
“Well take a bite!” Trixie motioned her to the muffin. Right before Derpy’s teeth could sink into the delicious pastry, it disappeared into a cloud a sparkles, to be replaced by…pause for dramatic effect…Pinkie Pie. That’s right. She. Was. Hiding. Inside. A. Muffin.
“Pinkie!” Derpy gasped, “ You’re a muffin-agent?!”
“Oh dear, I suppose I must have misplaced the real muffin.” Trixie pretended to look around. Her horn never glowed, and she reached out behind Derpy’s wings, and pulled out a full, toasty, tray of muffins. “You seem to enjoy muffins, a gift from me to you.” Trixie presented. “Well, why give away roses when you have muffins? What do you think my wonderful audience?” Trixie asked; all of her confidence was restored.
Only to be shot down later.
Her horn glowed once more, and muffins rained out into the crowd. Trixie spent all of her allowance on buying these muffins; she wouldn’t take them for free, no matter how many times Pinkie offered. And it was surprising how many times she could offer in one breath. Sixty….pause for dramatic effect…eight times.
“I suppose that is the best she has, for someone with absolutely no fashion sense at all, why go through the trouble of going in public if you’re going to be drab/” Trixie heard this, and was hurt; true she no longer had her cape and hat, but she didn’t have a choice.
“Ah’m surprised that she didn’t make up anothr’ hogwash story ‘gain.” Trixie now saw Applejack in the crowd.
“I do believe it’s tormenting her on the inside not to downsize somepony this time.” Rarity was now in Trixie's field of vision. Tears started to form this time, it hurt, and it hurt a lot. She continued to smile.
“Thank you for being a wonderful audience!” Trixie shouted. She fired a magical firework in the sky, the Emblem of Celestia shining like a star. She then withdrew back behind the shades. Her throat was tight.
”Good Riddance, what a boring show.” Trixie sobbed. Pinkie, who was waiting in the back looked alarmed.
“Trixie, what’s wrong, don’t cry, please don’t cry…” Pinkie continued to coax her as her mane slowly gained water. “It’s ok…It’ll be ok.”
“Lyra, could you believe it? I didn’t think Applejack could be so mean…”
“I know what you mean Bonbon, I thought the same way with Rarity…want to drop some sweets off? She looked like she could use a sweet…”
“Oh, her smile was perfect! I want to give her a brushie! I should stop by later…”
“I like her! She was a nice mare, and her show was fun! I really, really liked that muffin trick! Golden, I have to deliver something at the library later, wanna come? ”
“ Sure.You should really eat more carrots, Derpy, at least I know you won’t raid my fridge today…”
“Already did!”
“Tavi! I should totally hire her! She’d be PERFECT!”
“Oh dear, poor mare…Vinyl, if my sources are correct, I hear that Twilight Sparkle adopted her? I think we should pay her a visit, and you can inform her of your preposition there and maybe even maturate the job, without a résumé.”
“???”
“Let’s go visit the library to cheer her up and offer her the job.”
“Ohhhh.”
As you ponies could probably tell, Lyra, Bonbon, Colgate, Derpy, Golden Harvest, Vinyl, and Octavia had their sympathy towards Trixie; all of whom had seen her previous shows and saw wonderful, drastic change.
