Trixie lost her magic duel against Twilight and is on the run again, unsure of what to do from now on.

Twilight sees hope for the showmare and wants to help Trixie in regaining her self-esteem.

This is my contest entry for the Everfree NW 2014 Pre-Con Contest.

The story happens just after the episode Magic Duel.

Sweetie Belle is a normal filly, at least she thinks so. But even among her fellow Cutie Mark Crusaders, she had always been different. Maybe it was some slight bouts of immature behavior or taking after her older sister. But lately she has felt some strong feelings looming over her, she knows why but won't tell a soul. She won't even be honest with her self. So what does she do? The choice is obvious: She hides. She hides from friends, she hides from families and teachers. She hides her feelings where they can never pop out and ruin what life she has. But is hiding enough?

Warning: This story deals with things of a slightly mature and definitely 'taboo' nature. I would say exactly what it's about but it is a mystery, just don't be surprised if a few chapters in your brain explodes.

Note: Sorry if your brain explodes.

Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo are all friends. Together, they can do anything! They, as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, will find a way to earn their cutie marks!
But trouble arises when Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle get their cutie marks and leave Scootaloo alone as the only crusader left.

If I have to say this story was inspired by anything, I'd say it was inspired by BlackGryph0n and Bassik's song: Crusader.

It's an amazing song, and I feel inspired by it in some ways.

Sweetie Belle can't sleep at night unless she cuddles her special blanket; which makes her nervous about an upcoming sleepover. She doesn't want her friends to find out and make fun of her. But if she doesn't have her blanket, how will she ever go to sleep? She accidentally cuddles with somepony instead.

Inspired by this picture I found while searching Google.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are up to their usual, bullying the CMC. But this time, after they call the CMC "blank flanks" and leave, Silver Spoon feels depressed and tells Diamond Tiara a secret she's been keeping for awhile now.

Thanks go to Bronytastic for pre-reading this.

Featured on March 20th, 2014 Thanks guys!
Thanks to Captain Bron3y for doing a dramatic reading.

"When I die, nopony will say ‘it’s a shame’ or ‘I’ll miss her’. They’ll say ‘good riddance’

But even so, at least they know who I am. What really scares me is that when I die, nopony will remember me at all. I’m just a nameless face. An unmarked grave. At my funeral, will anypony cry?"

When Trixie takes her own life, she sends her final letter to the closest thing she's ever had to a friend.

[Author's Note: I'm sorry the description is so darn terrible. They're harder to write than the story! Thanks to Princess-Glitzy for figuring out whom the cover art belongs to!]

19/3/14 - Oooh! I see myself on the popular stories list! It may not be very high up, but yay! EDIT: Eeek! It made third place! Oh my gosh! You guys! It made first place on the Popular Stories list. Not sure that will last long, but hooray! Yes, I know it has no real significance!

20/3/14 - Oh my goodness! I feel like I'm accepting an Oscar or something. It was such a wonderful surprise to log on and see people congratulating me on getting featured, even if I did miss its time in the spotlight. This is an honour I never thought I'd have the privilege to accept.

Thanks again to Captain Bron3y for a dramatic reading of this.

There are things about Applejack that nopony knows. Even the cowpony herself wishes she could forget. But there are some secrets that are meant to be revealed.

Applejack can't read. And that has haunted her throughout her life.

In this particular day Scootaloo will face many things. Including Tirek in all of his Generation 1 glory.
It's Scootabuse!
I won't tell you any more so you'll just have to read it.(Bummer, right?)

Unfortunately, I've lost the urge to write this out so... it'll probably never be finished. (Sorry)

Ever since the Sisterhooves Social, Sweetie Belle and Rarity's relationship has improved drastically. There are still days when Rarity is a bit busy, of course, and certain times when Sweetie doesn't quite get the hint.

During one particularly stressful day, Sweetie Belle gets into Rarity's makeup. Rarity demands an explanation. The answer isn't quite as simple as one sister playing dress-up.

Thanks to my good friend Loopy Legend for the prompt and link to the coverart.

Thanks to Holo, Sir Rustbucket, Loopy Legend, Sage Runner, ValorlordV5, and Midnight Legend for editing.
