Chapter 3
Visitor


Trixie woke up early in the morning to start practicing. Day 1 of magic training has begun. The monsters out at the Everfree Forest would be great for training and some ingredients there are good too. 

For the next 3 hours until 12:00, Trixie had worked hard reading books and learning a few spells with the few ingredients she had left. Her levitation had gotten better and so did her ability to make things out of thin air. Just as she was about to perform another spell, there was a knock on the door. Trixie picked herself up and walked grimly to the door. She was exhausted and not in a good mood.

Trixie opened the door and said, “What is a visitor doing here at Trixie’s house? State your purpose and leave.” She opened her eyes after finishing her speech realizing it was Big Macintosh. “OH you,” She said grimly, “What do you want? Do you want to destroy my life even more?” Big Mac looked at her with a saddened expression. “I’m glad you got all of that paint off,” Big Mac had tried to be friends, “Say… Ah’m sorry for doin’ all that in Ponyville. Ah didn’t know all that would happen and ah hope you ain’t made or nottin.”

“It’s okay,” Trixie started to say, “It’s not okay that you ruined my life though! Now I’m trying to learn all the magic that I can to beat that purple worm in skill and finally prove myself to be worth something again! Now excuse me-“  Big Mac pushed Trixie out of the way to walk into her small house. “Wow Trixie,” Big Mac admired her house, “You have been workin’ mighty hard. Say, do you wanna go back to Ponyville?” “What?!” Trixie raised her voice, “You expect me to go back there?! Especially when my mane looks like this?!” “Don’t worry your head off,” Big Mac said, “Ah brought mah apple cart and a quilt for you to hide under and you’ll get through without anypony seeing you.”

Trixie started to wonder why this pony was being so nice to her. Would this last for long or would she have to pay him back? “Ah can help you rebuild your reputation,” Big Mac started, “without learning any fancy-shmancy magic you unicorns got. Ah swear you can make friends without proving nothin’.” Trixie got a wake-up call when she heard “friends.” Ever since then, she hasn’t been able to make any and here he was trying to help. “Fine then,” Trixie gave in, “I’ll take this offer, but first let me fix up my mane.”

Big Mac went out and prepared Trixie’s ride whilst she fixed up her mane. He decided to have Trixie simply hide below the blanket with a cushion under her. When Big Mac was done, Trixie walked out without her cape or as a matter of fact, without her whole ensemble. Big Macintosh was rather surprised since he had never seen Trixie without her weird show costume, but he decided to accept it and move on. “Now Trixie,” Big Mac pointed to his apple cart, “You just lie on that there fancy cushion from Carousel Boutique and ah’ll place this blanket on top of you.” Trixie had followed the instructions and curled herself up in the cart. “So let me see,” Trixie said, “You will help me make friends right? And change my personality?” “Eeyup,” Big Mac agreed.

They rolled slowly towards Ponyville hoping that both of them would be able to get along despite their differences.
