(Rainbow Vs. Wild ---> Octavia Vs. Rave ---> Shyness Vs. Kindness ---> Twilight Vs. The Great and Powerful.)

Twilight couldn't be happier for her friends. Rainbow Dash and Applejack have gotten together after their mishap in the Everfree Forest. Big Macintosh and Fluttershy have finally hit it off. And even her new friend Octavia has even found love with Vinyl Scratch! The only exclusions are Pinkie and Rarity, who are too preoccupied with parties or dresses to even care!

But...what about her? What about Twilight...who feels as if she's missing out?

There's little she can do about it for right now though, as Princess Luna herself has requested she help deal with a problem in Manehatten. Somepony has been causing serious trouble in the city that never sleeps, and Twilight isn't going to believe who's behind it all!

Can she let go of the past, look past the facade, and see a pony who's hurt, broken, and afraid?

Can she save a mare who everypony has deemed a 'Phony', a 'Failure', and a 'Dead End of Life'?

Will she hear the cries of help from a mare she thought she knew...and take a Leap of Faith?

The Mane-Event, a popular stage show in Manehattan, has acquired a rare creature they intend to use as part of a new act. Their typical animal handlers prove inadequate for the new job so they invite Equestria's best to be the caretaker-- Fluttershy. Moving to a new city requires the inconvenience of finding a new place to stay, however. What fortune that Trixie, one of the primary acts of the Mane-Event, just so happens to have free space at her apartment.

And then the Element of Kindness lived with the Element of Egotism.

If you had a choice, would you switch bodies with your best-friend?
Octavia and Trixie didn't even have a choice.

After a night on the town to get away from their stressful daily lives, Trixie and Octavia wake up the next day to be astounded by what they saw; that they had switched bodies over night! When they realize that they won't be able to switch back before several important events in their lives, how will they adapt to being each other? Will Octavia be able to learn enough magic to woo a crowd? Will Trixie be able to play the Cello well enough to not ruin Octavia's lifetime of work? Read and find out!

This story was inspired by the movie "The Change-Up". Title credit goes to Klondike Pony!

A year after her encounter with Twilight Sparkle, long after accepting her 'defeat' and admitting her mistakes, The Great and Powerful Trixie has thrown herself across time and space into a parallel reality of Equestria. With an opportunity to have a second chance at her meeting with Twilight, the magician mare finds the element of magic to be taking the form of a stallion in this realm. Between the plethora of colts, numerous changes in history and more, the once failed heroine will turn her life around and attempt make something of herself in this new existence.

Trixie's life has been filled with sorrow and heartache. Her trip to Ponyville was no exception. Now after the attack of the Ursa Minor, Trixie finds her life has hit a new low. After sifting through the remains of her wagon, she wanders off nearly broke and dejected. That is until she receives a helping hoof from an unexpected pony.

A week later, Twilight Sparkle discovers a yearbook from her time at "Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns". She tells Spike the sad tale of a friendship between her and Trixie from when they were both younger. The discussion leads Twilight to Canterlot, where she hopes Princess Celestia can help her find Trixie. But when the two unicorns meet up, can they put the past behind them and revive their friendship or will they remain bitter rivals? And what secret about Trixie's ancestry does Princess Celestia finally intend on revealing to her?

This story was partially inspired by the events from "The Not So Great And Somewhat Powerful" a touching story by xxGamer101xx. I also wrote this story because Trixie is one of my favorite ponies. I can't help feeling for her plight, and have been sad that there have been no additional episodes with this inspiring unicorn in them.

Featuring: Trixie, Cherry Jubilee, Applejack, and Twilight Sparkle.

Trixie runs from Ponyville after Twilight vanquishes the Ursa Minor, but where does she go? She doesn't have a home, her wagon is gone, her show was a disaster... She has nothing. She ends up in a new town with new ponies who know nothing about her; whom don't even know her name. But the traumatic events of Ponyville still haunt her, changing her on the inside, closing her off from the outside world. She finds herself relying only on the friendship of a doll; willfully or not. That is, until her past catches up with her. Can anyone crack her shell?

NOTE: This is a HD remaster of the original story that I posted over two years ago. Better grammar, better spelling, and more scenes :D If you want to check out the original, untouched story, click here.

Princess Aura is the kindest changeling you will ever meet. She's caring, compassionate, and wishes for a world of peace betweeen all races. Her kindess proves to be her downfall, when it is used against her in a plot to incite war between Equestria and the changeling kingdom.

Abandoned as a fily, and forced to live on her own and raise herself, Trixie knows the pain of being on your own, and the hardships faced when taking on the whole world by yourself. And when she sees these qaulities in a young filly she happens to meet one night, she is determined not to let the young filly experience the same pains that Trixie was forced to endure when growing up.

But when it seems associating with this filly will only endanger her life, will Trixie's resolve last?

To Holmes, she is always the mare. In his eyes she eclipses the whole of her sex, and fills him with admiration and loathing. Whether she in fact stole the Starry Night was ultimately beside the point. What mattered to Holmes was that he had been matched at his own game, by a mare; that it had not been altogether unpleasant; and that she had caused him, however briefly, to turn his keen and unflinching gaze upon himself.

Trixie Lulamoon, the personal student of Princess Luna, has finally, through a combination of reasoning, pleading, and whining, managed to convince the princess to invest some real responsibility in her, and give her a chance to show off everything she's been learning while under the alicorn's wing. Luna has appointed Trixie to be the official representative of her Night Court to the town of Ponyville, which this year will be hosting the Longest Night Celebration. Trixie is additionally tasked with overseeing the preparations for that festival.

At first, things seem to be going less than swimmingly. The catering is way too many kinds of apples, the weather patrol is far behind, the musical maestro is nowhere to be found, and the decorations could use significant toning down. To top it all off, Trixie can't help but feel that this was less an appointment to a position of real responsibility, and more an informal exile from the Night Court. Still, things could be worse: a mad alicorn goddess of fire and hate could escape from her millennial imprisonment on the sun and try and conquer Equestria.

But what are the chances of that?

Opposite-spin on "Trixie apologizes" stories. This time, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack are the ones apologizing, to Trixie.

Because, honestly, I strongly believe that they should.

Picture really has little relevance to the story. It's just Trixie, and Trixie is good.
