Trixie



Trixie sat, crying and shaking, waiting in her cell. Even though she knew being arrested was part of the act to protect her anonymity as the informant, she was thoroughly terrified.

When her turn came to be ‘interviewed’ she was relieved to see Detective Shining Armor waiting for her in the room.

“Shining Armor! Please, please help me! Trixie is terrified! Trixie can’t do this!” she wailed, clinging tightly to him.

Shining returned her hug, stroking the terrified girl's hair. “Trixie, it’s okay! Remember, this is just part of the act. You’re fine! You’re almost done, then you can go home. We just need you to join everyone in the holding cell. Then when the others are processed into jail we’ll bring you home. You can do this Trixie. Stay strong.”

“Oh no! No no no no no! Trixie cannot do this! Trixie cannot face Gilda again. Gilda knows, Shining! Gilda knows, and Gilda will hurt Trixie!” sobbed Trixie, shaking in terror.

Shining continued to hold her, gently reassuring her, but Trixie remained thoroughly terrified. Eventually Shining relented, realizing Trixie couldn't face Gilda, and drove Trixie home.

“Trixie, I promised we would protect you, and we will. I’ll have a car patrolling your house tonight. We are watching, and we will protect you. No one is going to hurt you Trixie. We won’t let them,” promised Shining Armor.

He walked Trixie to her door, leaving after her parents let her in. 

Trixie ran to her room and curled into a ball on her bed. Shaking, she retrieved her phone, dialing her friend.

“Trixie, how’re you doing? Did everything go okay?” asked Starlight.

“Trixie is not okay! Nothing is okay!” quaked Trixie. “Trixie needs you! Trixie is terrified!”

“Okay. Hang tight Trixie. I’ll be right over.” Starlight hung up the phone.

Shaking, Trixie laid on her bed and waited.

Shortly, Trixie heard her doorbell. Moments later, the door to her room opened. “Trixie?” called out Starlight. Trixie shot from the bed and wrapped her friend in a tight hug.

“Thank you thank you thank you!” she sobbed, hanging from her friend. Starlight wrapped her arms tightly around her friend and smiled.

“Of course, silly girl! What are friends for?” She led Trixie back over to her bed, and sat her down, sitting next to her. Starlight pulled her phone out, dialing.

“Hi Starlight, what’s up?” came Sunset’s voice from her phone.

“Sunset! Trixie is terrified! Please help!” Trixie cried out.

“Sunset? Yeah, I’m here with Trixie,” added Starlight. “She’s in really bad shape here. Can you come over?”

“Hang on! I’m going to call Shining to see if that’s okay. One sec…” Sunset hung up.

“See Trixie! You’re not alone! Your friends have your back.” Starlight rubbed Trixie’s shoulders. Trixie continued to shake, sobbing gently.

Moments later, Starlight’s phone rang. She answered, putting it on speaker. “Hey Sunset. What did he say?”

“Girls, you need to stay put. He’s headed over now.”
