//------------------------------// // Wizard // Story: Then Everyone was an Alicorn // by CluelessBrony //------------------------------// Trixie walked into the polished halls of Canterlot Castle, head held high. This was where she was meant to be, not some hick town where nopony can appreciate her true magical talents The high society and rich lifestyle of Canterlot drew her in, making her feel at home and welcome. Many ponies would fear it, but not Trixie. Trixie lived in the limelight. She had no doubt that she was accepted and loved in the rich city. She ignored all the snooty ponies looking at her choice of garb and moved on. There was nothing wrong with her hat and cape. Trixie looked around. The letter hadn't told her where to go once she reached Canterlot. She spotted a royal guard in his distinctive gold armour and walked up to him, clearing her throat. "The Great and Powerful Trixie orders you to tell her where she can find Princess Luna!", she said in her most awe-inspiring voice. It was lost on the guard, however. To him it was just much louder than regular speaking. "Listen, lady, you can't just get an audience with the princess. You need to have an invitation or a petition." Trixie grinned and whisked the letter from the princess out of her bag. "Will this do?, she asked. The guard took the letter in his magic and looked over it. "Fine," he grumbled, flaring his wings in irritation. "Right this way." Trixie followed the agitated guard through the hallway. She could tell he wasn't taking his job seriously. She wondered if he was new, or if his sudden transformation into an Alicorn made him not care. Trixie pushed the thought to the back of her head. It wasn't a thought about her, and therefore had no room in her head. As she trotted through the halls behind the guard, she looked around at the lavishly decorated walls. Busts of famous ponies, portraits, murals, and tapestries were places throughout the hallway, giving it a rich feel. Of course, that was to be expected when one was in a palace. The guard led her to a pair of large doors, flanked on either side by more guards. "This mare has an invitation from the princess", he said. The two guards nodded and used their magic to open the door. Unlike the one who had led her through the halls, they seemed to take their jobs more seriously. Trixie trotted into the room, leaving her escort behind. The room appeared to be a sitting room, and was decorated with plenty of cool colours, ranging from purple to a dark blue. Plush seats were positioned all throughout the room, inviting Trixie to sit on them. A number of glass doors lined the far wall, opening up to a spacious balcony. A telescope was placed there, currently focused on the moon. "I see you've made it. I was beginning to fear you hadn't got my message." Trixie jumped up and whirled around in fright. Sometime during her investigation of the room, the princess of the night had entered. "When did you get there?", Trixie asked, panting. The princess winked. "I'm the princess of the night. I can be pretty sneaky when I want to.", she answered. Luna trotted towards a plush armchair and sat down. "Please, take a seat.", she offered, gesturing to the chair opposite her. Trixie did as she was told and sat down. The princess used her magic to open up a cabinet on the other side of the room, levitating out a bottle of wine and two glasses. "Would you like some?", she asked. Trixie nodded. Luna poured two glasses and gave one to Trixie. "So, do you know why I sent for you?", she asked. Trixie shook her head. "All Trixie knows is what you said in the letter.", she answered. The princess smiled. "Before we start speaking of business, I think we should get to know each other more.", the princess said. Trixie blinked in confusion. "Why would you want to know about Trixie?", she asked. "Surely you, the princess, has better things to speak about than Trixie!" "Well, you seem like a kind, talented mare. I'm sure you have a lot of interesting stories to tell. I would love to learn all about you!" Trixie cocked her brow in confusion. Is she hitting on Trixie?, she thought. Well, of course she is! Trixie is the most talented, beautiful mare in Equestria! Of course the princess would like a piece of her! "Well, there is the one time Trixie banished the Wind Demon of Hoofshire..." --- Author's note- Luna isn't hitting on Trixie. Trixie just thinks everything is about her. Luna is trying to see if Trixie is suitable for the task she needs her for. Don't worry, no shipping.
