It had been a year since Twilight had heard of anything from Trixie after the Alicorn Amulet incident. Unexpectedly, she receives a letter saying that her so called "rival" has tragically died and is requested to be at her funeral.

It's been a long time since Trixie last came to Ponyville, even longer since she did a show there. Yet here she is, back again, and this time appealing to a new, younger audience. But, as she feared, her past once again comes back to haunt her, this time in the form of an alicorn princess.

Originally written for the Everfree Northwest 2014 Pre-con Contest (it didn't win).

To all the world!

To all my friends!

I love you.

I must leave...

Trixie is many things, showmare, magician, user of slight-of-hoof, performer and storyteller. But in the end, all of that doesn't mean she can't be truly Great and Powerful when she needs to be.

Poor Twilight Sparkle... she never realized how foolish Celestia was...

Life gave Cave Johnson lemons. Ever the capitalist, he started to make them into lemonade and sell them. But he added a little flare to them first.

Written because this place looked lonely.

Denny's. A greasy hive of bacon and eggs. Stephen is working the graveyard shift, slowly letting the minutes tick by, when he gets an unusual visitor...

A little story I had the idea of most likely in the shower. Based on my seeing THIS image late at night. Because staying up to 2:30 in the morning was a good idea.

Featured 10 Feb 2015! Y'all are weird, but I like you.

By the way, I don't own Denny's logo, menu items, etc. etc. please don't sue.

Trixie Silverlight Lulamoon, successful magician extraordinaire. Have you ever wondered how she came to be?

What kind of life could make a pony like Trixie? How a pony, who lives in the land of peace and harmony, could become a confrontational showmare with relationship problems? Why such a confident mare like her is now walking alone under the rain?

One last chance, one last scenario and one last audience. Follow Trixie in what could be her last story.

The thing is that recently I received a fairly bad new. It struck me very bad. Bad enough to put all of my stories on hiatus. Since then I haven't written anything, till today. Let's see if the old horse can ride again.

Please show no mercy on the comments. Compassion is good for the broken, but it's through the strongest fire that steel is best forged (or something like that, I'm not good at translations).

Twilight returns to Ponyville after a visit with Celestia to find all her friends missing and a strange force affecting everypony's minds. Now it's up to her to figure out where this magic is coming from and put a stop to it. And no amount of gold, humans, true love, auditions, or general happiness is going to stop her!

...And why won't everypony stop singing?

Love is never easy, even for a royal alicorn princess. Especially when the love of her life is a former rival who refuses to return her feelings.

Fortunately she has friends to back her up and help her thaw her beloved magician's heart. Manehattan will never be the same.
