Lilac cape with light blue and yellow stars on her back and similarly designed pointed hat on her head, Trixie Lulamoon stood on the top of the stairs to Twilight’s crystalline castle and stared at the titular owner of the castle with a pensive smile. “Sooo… I was wondering if she could stay here for a one or two…”

“Days?” Twilight asked, her smile looking like it was being held there at gunpoint.

“… weeks…” Trixie finished.

Twilight’s smile fled as one of her eyes twitched and she just stared at Trixie.

Trixie swallowed, and by the look of her, the thing she swallowed was likely her pride. “Look Twilight, I know you and I have had a checkered past and I’m sorry! I’ve said I’m sorry! I’m here now asking for your help!” With a pink blush-colored glow, Trixie floated that hat off her head, sat on her haunches and brought the hat into her forehooves. “I’m coming to you, literally hat in hooves asking-no-pleading for your support! Trixie… Trixie just gets so lonely living on the road by herself sometimes!” Trixie gritted her teeth and glanced off in no direction in particular. “I mean… Trixie fired herself out of a cannon towards a Manticore’s mouth without knowing if anypony would be there to make sure I wasn’t eaten! Trixie needs to address that with somepony! Plus, I just… slip between first and third person… and Trixie doesn’t know why she does that! TRIXIE NEEDS HELP!” Trixie cried, her amethyst eyes begging, pleading with Twilight to show her some mercy. “Please! Won’t you help Trixie?!” Trixie said, her words beginning to sound strained and desperate.

Twilight paused and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath, letting it wash over her. She then let it out and released the anxious tension she was feeling. Twilight opened her eyes. “No!” she said with a smile as she slammed the giant castle doors in Trixie’s face.

Twilight turned and began to walk back into the castle, her journey ending moments after it had started. Not by the wailing cries of sadness and abandonment on the other side of the door, but by a purple unicorn and dragon who stared at her with a pair of unamused expressions as Spike had his arms crossed in front of him and tapped a foot against the crystal floor.

“Ugh… Fiiiiiiiine!” Twilight groaned as she opened the door revealing Trixie who had broken down into a heap of tears on the steps to Twilight’s castle. Starlight rushed forward to drape a comforting foreleg over her friend and take her inside. Twilight simply continued walking further into the castle as Spike followed her with his eyes and the same look of disapproval.

Spike motioned out to Twilight with a claw. “The Princess of Friendship, everypony,” he announced to nopony in particular.

“Spike! Come quick! I can’t find it!” Twilight urgently shouted from down the hall.

Spike’s features pulled into a tight look of confusion. “Find what?”

“Where I asked for your bucking opinion!” Twilight growled back.
