It was going to sit in the field at the edge of town for the rest of the day. She wasn't here for a show after all, so the center of town wasn't necessary, nor was attracting attention. It was rather disappointing that she couldn't stay longer than just today. She had been hired to preform at the carnival at Neigh Orleans. Given she had already been paid for travel expenses she didn't feel the need to linger too long. Besides, once Fuzzy knew how she felt she could always come back when there was more time for that just admitting her feelings. Trixie paused, giggling suddenly and prancing in place as her cheeks flushed at the idea. She quickly darted to the back of her wagon pulled it open and zipping inside. A moment or so later she emerged again without her hat, and a dark blue cloak like the one she had worn at that first play with a bit of fur trim. It was still she had some how made herself up rather quickly with only a bit of makeup, that was still expertly applied. Her horn glowed as she grabbed a small package, shut her door and started making her way towards Golden Oak Library. Jynx moved out of the burrow, her paws crunching on the packed down snow around the warrens entrance. She paused a moment adjusting her dress and white hair once more, the long tresses were done up in a number of braids that spilled over her back and shoulders. She thought the scant dress wasn't a good fit given her size and muscular build, but Terri had convinced her otherwise. It had taken her a bit longer to leave than she liked due to a few mutts deciding to try their paws at getting her attention. A few of them that were a bit too into trying to get their paws on her, and would likely have to be pulled out of what ever wall she implanted them in by her guards later. At the very least she knew she looked good if those idiots were all over her. Still there was currently only one dog who she wanted that sort of attention from. Her assistant Terri padded up to her offering her a long box that had been decorated rather neatly and was filled with roses for the Moon Dog. That was what she was told ponies gave each other for this day. “I will be back by dark Terri.” Jynx smirked.”Wish me luck.” “If this dog straight you need not luck.” Terri huffed crossing her arms over her chest. Jynx laughed setting off across the snow towards Golden Oak Library. Saturnia sighed glancing down the ally before she emerged from the concealed door. Her hips swayed a little as she kept a small cask nestled between her wings the gaudy decoration on it perfect for the holiday. The 'pegasus' mare had set herself up perfectly, perhaps a little too well given how excessive some of the whistles and cat calls she got. She had taken a little more time than she liked getting the details down on her 'cutie mark'. She had wanted something that gave the impression of the same interests as him, while still different enough that it didn't look as if she was stalking him. A simple drama mask pattern with a wreath of green flame around it. It was simple, yet also taunting to any one who might know of her kind. A trait she had yet to be able to shake unless she needed a perfect disguise, her marks always had a green flame in them. Of course at this point she didn't need to be subtle, this was the one holiday where they would feed well, even if they didn't have a special some one themselves. Not like Saturnia wasn't planning to change that last bit. Still, she was taking a chance at this. Her mother had not given her the go ahead for this and she needed to focus on the main mission, not her own wants. Still with all the gatherers out in force collecting this harvest, nothing else would be done this day, so her time was her own. With that, she made her way towards Golden Oak Library. A light piano aria started from some where, the sound filling the air as an illusion focused unicorn, a changeling princess disguised as a pegasus, and a amazonian built diamond dog alpha walk into Ponyville. “He'll look at me, here where we last parted.....” Trixie smiled as the song started taking off , her tone clear and mellow as she fell back into long practiced vocals. “He'll look at me I've not even yet begun....” Saturnia offered her voice a fairly higher pitch than normal, as she started singing. “He'll look at me I'm starting at chapter one...” Jynx let out with a surprisingly smooth, if husky singing voice. “Yet there's a still a chance for me.. he'll look at me.. on ponies I am now wiser He'll look at me. Though still alone upon my throne I'm set to move, and make him my own..” The diamond dog alpha made her way through the town, most giving her a wide berth, though a number taking note of her and her song, tapping out a rhythm to it as it progressed. There did seem to be more pegasi then she was used to seeing in town today though. In another part of the town, the song continued. “A delicious light is shining, make him mine... as I said make him mine.. I'll make him see how perfect a mate he'll be for this queen to be if I can just get past his sister, and the Princess of the Moon. His mind and heart fall prey to my art my hive of one with him now added soon.” Saturnia sang along to a song she herself seemed to hear, though there was a musical accompaniment from seemingly every where as music seemed to come from everything and a piano played over all of it . In another part of the town, the song continued. “He'll look at me, I'm well worth seeing A work of art beyond compare... He'll look at me my life's a stage one I will happily share if I can just say what he means to me He'll look at me.” Trixie smiled as she sang, taking note of a few things as the music filled the air around her. She wouldn't be a proper entertainer if she couldn't recognize the heart song that had developed. But why did parts of it seem empty? “And this day holds the key..” all three of them added as the pace sped up driving them all towards a familiar tree ahead of them. “He'll look at me I'll have the power...” Saturnia sang. “He'll look at me, I need to muster my self-esteem...” Trixie continued. “He'll look at me, The source of my desire,fulfillment of a dream...” Jynx smiled moving closer to the tree her severed tail wagging. The trio start singing again not even noticing their voices are overlapping. “And in my soul and in my heart, I've the courage to admit. I've found my flame, I've found my amor the Moon Dog I love he'll be mine all mine, forever! He'll look at me... He'll look at me... He'll look at me...” Trixie Lulumoon, Lady Jynx, and Princess Saturnia trail off, their song coming to a stop as they wind up facing each other outside of Golden Oak Library.
