Trixie Lulamoon has to work a boring office job, draining any drive from her. Today, she can at least show a trick to a child in an elevator.

An expansion of my Flashfic 150 entry with the prompt "Carousel".

Finding himself in a new world, Spike is forced to adapt but slowly grows to find the beauty in his new home and in the people that live there. Will he be able to survive a life full of magic or will it swallow him whole?

It's a wicked life, isn't it, Trixie?

That's how you really feel, isn't it, Trixie?

You'd like a different life, wouldn't you, Trixie?

Trixie, Trixie, Trixie... if only it were that easy.

Everypony has to live with their mistakes, after all.

Why should you get to be any different?

Thank you to Ice Star, Gay For Godot, and Themoontonite. Love you

Trixie loves Starlight. Twilight loves Starlight. Sunburst loves Starlight. Starlight loves to have her options.

It's always good to have options.

Right?

With only a broken wagon, seventeen bits, and a shattered reputation to her name it seemed that the world could not grind The Great and Powerful Trixie down any further. When an old friend offered Trixie the opportunity to start again, with a heavy bag of bits to help her back on her hooves, she grudgingly accepted. All that was required was a little magical assistance; no schemes, no cursed amulets, no risk of getting banished to the moon.

They never told her the ritual was to summon the Nightmare back to Equestria. Now, as the Nightmare’s new host, all that stands between Equestria and eternal darkness is the determination of Trixie Lulamoon, a mare who already lost everything for the sake of power. In her quest to maybe save the world, and certainly save herself, Trixie will explore the depth to which power can corrupt and the lengths ponies will go to possess it. It’s that, or break on life’s wheel.

With thanks to my pre-readers Luna-tic Scientist, Lord of Dorkness and JCatt. And special thanks to viwrastupr for the awesome cover.

This story is a sequel to Where Fillies Fear to Tread

Trixie traveled Equestria far and wide, but her wanderlust has come to an end.

No longer seeking greatness as a traveling magician, she arrives to Canterlot to take up a new career path: acting. She has all the qualities of a great performer and a vast stage experience, and although the first step is always the hardest Trixie is confident she will succeed in her endeavors. Little she knows that her old guardian angel will be there to guide her, just like those many years ago.

The same angel is about to learn that words have consequences.
