> Oh Filly Trixie > by Dragonsong > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Mama's and Dada's Fight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Twemble in fear mister Ursa bear! For i will defeat you with my magic powers!" Laughed Trixie as she played with her favourite Ursa Major Bear in her cot, it was many hours after her bedtime but she couldn't care less. She pretended to make a loud 'Boom' from her horn as she threw her toy across the room, "Yay! I told you I could beat you! Twixie saves all her friends and the world again! Whoo-hoo!" Suddenly, a loud bang from the front door shook the house, 'Dada's back!' Trixie thought as she heard the voices of her mama and dada, but thse weren't gentle, soft words. These were horrible, loud words. Words that a young filly shouldn't hear, "Thank Celestia you're back from that bloody pub! How many bits have you spent in there this time!? A hundred? A thousand?" Trixie's mother shouted from downstairs, Trixie silently crawled out of her crib and peered through the bedroom door. You couldn't see her parents, just their shadows printed against the cream coloured wall. Her mother's shadow was turned away from her dad, but he tried to turn her around, "Don't be like that babe! You know I still want to get back home to see you and Trixie, now come give us a hug, eh?" His hooves were wrapped around her, but she tired to pull away, "Haystack, I'm sick of this! I want a divorce! And I'm bring Trixie too! And Get..Your hooves.. Off me!" She screamed. A loud slapping sound could be heard from downstairs, Did mama slap daddy? Silence. Trixie wished that Mama would apologize and everything would be happy again, but it wasn't, not at all. Trixie heard a click downstairs and Dad's heavy panting, "Haystack, put down the wine bottle..I said, Put it down!" "It's no use Bluebell. I'm sick of you too. I wish you could just go away and never come back! and I'm going to kill you,You know I'll do it!" "Haystack! Stop it! You're out of your mind! Just stop it!" A loud, crashing sounds shook the house again, tears ran down Trixie's face while she saw her other's shadow fall to the ground. THUD! "Mama..." Trixie whimpered quietly, shaking with fear. She felt a cool draft on her back, when she turned around she noticed her window was open, ' I'll find help, mama!' she thought confidently as she crawled out of the window and onto the soft, grassy ground. She still wheeped tears of sadness and fear, she looked up and saw the bright lights of Cantalot, 'I'll find help there!' > Cantalot! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was nearly mid-day when Trixie got to Cantalot and everypony was trotting around, think they're to important and busy to pay attention to her cries, "Excuse me? Mister? I'm lost and hungry and my mama's- Oh, you're busy? Sorry..." "Miss? Mama might be hurt and she needs help and- Oh, never mind." "Mister Police man? Can you help me?- No? ok.." "Can anypony help me? Please!" After seeing about 50 ponies, Trixie gave up and started to cry, "It's hopeless, I'll never see mama again." She covered her face with her hooves and started wailing, remembering all the fun times she had with her mama, Like when Trixie drew her first self-portrait, it looked more like a flattened dog covered in blue paint than Trixie, but her mother was proud all the same, "Oh, that's a perfect drawing from my perfect child! I'm so proud of you, you're my little artist! Yes you are!" Or when the time Trixie and her mother played Pika-boo together, "Where's Mama? Where is She/ Here she is!" Little Trixie giggled in excitement at her mother's magic trick, she never understood how she compleatly dissapeared from behind the tea towel and re-appeared again. But Trixie had to go back to the real world, and she hated it. She didn't even notice the crowed of ponies gathering around her and the colourful sparks coming out of her horn, "Wow! What an amazing display! And at such a young age!" Said on of the strangers. Trixie looked up and saw the everyponie's faces in awe. She couldn't help but smile at everypony, "Dawww, that's such an adorable smile! Here you go angle, go buy yourself an Ice-cream." The ponies started to toss bits next to her, soon she had a quite a large pile. After a while, she bought herself some food and water and went into the large, crystal library. Where another purple filly was reading. Trixie trotted upto her, "Excuse me, do you know where the books on magic are?" The purple filly didn't responded, instead, the filly just picked up her book and walked away, "Umm, never mind." Trixie sighed, deciding to look for the books herself. Later, she managed to find books like 'Magic for Fillies' and 'How To make Bits Quick.' 'If I learn to do magic, I could get attention from ponies and then I can ask to help my mama!' she thought confidently, reading every page of both books. > Trixie's First Magic Show > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day, Trixie woke up from her card board box and carried her little bag of money around Cantalot, buying food, water and clothes. After a while, she noticed that she barely had any bits left, "Oh no! I'm going to have to get more!" She cried worriedly. She looked around and saw a sturdy box and a crowed of ponies trotting around, that's when she got an Idea. She put on her brand new, shiny cloak and hat, crawled up on to the box and tried to send colourful sparks from her horn like yesterday. The sparks flew out of her horn and were lifted into the sky like fireworks, which caught the attention of several ponies. As they gasped in awe of Trixie's magical fireworks show ,they crowed round her to see more, "Wow! What's your name?" One of them asked. Trixie quitely gulped in fear but still spoke up, "M-My name's Trixie, and this is my first show." "Well it's very good! Show us more!" Trixie smiled excitedly and tried to show everypony all the magic tricks she learnt from the library books, "It's pure magic! And she's so young!" "She's Great! She's Powerful! She's the Great and powerful Trixie!" After the show, Trixie took a bow as everypony clapped the hooves. She felt more alive than ever! She also felt a strange sensation on her flank, when she looked at it, her Cutie Mark was there! 'My Cutie Mark! I've found my Cutie mark!' She thought excitedly. The happiness carried on when she found out how many bits were given to her, she thought had more money than her father spent in a year! At the end of the day, Trixie slept in the same cardboard box, but with a few more things; She bought a small, silk blanket and a torch for the night, "This magic stuff ain't so bad," she yawned happily, "Maybe I could rent a wagon and travel the world, yeah, that's a good idea! And I could find so many friends and maybe I could *yawn* find my mama..If she's still out there...zzzz" THE END
