The next couple of days, was a test of Trixie's patience. Having to fully rely on Spike's assistance, to do mostly everything, was doing a number on her dignity. It was a struggle for her, to let him help her when she couldn't do anything.
However, what was even worst for her pride was that Twilight's friends would visit her every once in a while. Letting one dragon seeing in this helpless state was one thing. Letting other ponies see like this, was blowing whatever dignity she had left. Some Ponyville nurses also came every once while to check if Trixie was getting the proper care. It was deemed since Spike was doing a wonderful job, Trixie will be allowed to stay with him until she healed.
What got to Trixie was that they were so nice, going out of their way to do small things for her. Pinkie would try to cheer her up with jokes and sweets, Rarity would style her hair, and help groom her, AppleJack would bring apples or apple flavored treats and Fluttershy well out of all of them, Fluttershy was always over anxious when she visited. She brought a medical kit with her every single time. If Trixie so much as sneezed, Fluttershy would panic and try to treat her.
Trixie was glad that it wasn't Fluttershy who took care of her all the time. Fluttershy would probably have a heart attack every time Trixie did anything.
Since the last time, Trixie didn't exactly leave in good terms. She thought they would hate her, but not now. However, something about this bothered her, but she can't figure out why.
During those couple of days she tried to get her magic to work, and then one day it just did. It was when Trixie finished every bite of Spike's incredible food. When he came back to collect the plate. Trixie nonchalantly levitated it to him and thanked him. When Spike pointed it out to her, she was thrilled, then summoned a small firework from her horn in celebration.
It was now time to walk again, the farthest distance Trixie gotten was to the bathroom, even then it was Spike helping her.
Spike came to check on her, he was about to leave when "Spike, could you please help me to walk again?"
Spike stopped in his tracks, kinda of shocked that she would voluntarily ask for help, like that. He answered her by nodding his head, he garbed her front hooves helping to the floor.
Trixie wobbled unsteadily on the floor just like a first timer on a skating ring. Trixie took one of her back hooves stepped one step forward. Spike followed suit going slowly backward.
He let go of her, and she started shaking even more roughly. She tried and tried with all her might to stand straight, but after only a short while she collapsed.
Spike ran to her, she held her hoof up to keep a distance from him. Trixie stood and fell again. Kept on repeating this over and over again.
Until after some time she managed to stand still for a lot longer. Spike began to marvel at her tenacity to stand, feeling proud of her.
Trixie tried to move one hoof, resulting in her falling over but this time she used her rump to soften the blow
Trixie fully in sitting position letting few tears of frustration roll down her cheek, stood once more. She tried to take a step was about land hard to the floor, when he caught her wrapping his claws around her front hooves, holding her perfectly still.
Trixie was surprised of his strength, granted he used his strength to help her before, like when he put her back on the bed when she fell off. But this was different, there was a sort of trust in it. A trust that while he was holding her, she wasn't to going to plummet to the ground again.
Spike started with a step back, she followed with a step forward. A step forwards, a step back then in a circle.
They repeated this and then the movement turning something else, it was transformed into something somewhat poetic. They both begin to move in sync, a harmonious rhythm passing through them, both of them gliding across the floor.
Fluttershy was outside the castle ready to visit Trixie, The sun was about to set and since Fluttershy don't really like being out at night, she could at lease make it a quick visit. Fluttershy saw two shadows in one of the windows, doing something odd. Usually, something like this would make Fluttershy ran in fear to her house. However, when she looked closely at the shadows, it was a short figure was dancing with a bigger figure. A short figure that looked an awful like Spike. But, who was Spike dancing with? Curiosity got the better of her flapping her wings quickly going near to open window of Trixie's room, making sure she was staying out of sight.
Fluttershy watched in awe as she saw Trixie and Spike dancing together. Something she would never believe happen if she didn't see herself.
Did they fell for each other? Could it even happen?
Then again having just finished a manga about demon diamond dog falling for a female pony, Fluttershy guessed it exactly wasn't that far into the realm of impossibilities.
However, this real life not a manga.
Nevertheless, a mischevious grin came on her face. A small push can't be that bad right?
Trixie and Spike were still dancing, they were oblivious to anything else around them. When suddenly a choir of birds started to sing a lovely tune. Even though they were getting more and more lost in the moment. Thier bodies moved almost involuntarily to the melody of the birds.
All the sudden, the realization of what they were doing, broke whatever enchantment they were in.
They both broke into an intense blush. Unsure how, or why something like that could even happen. Quickly, they tried to make up any excuse to get out of this awkward situation.
One claiming to want to go to bed, the other saying that they were going to prepare dinner. After they went their separate ways, both of silently vowing to never speak about this again.
