//------------------------------// // One Week Later... // Story: Princess Trixie's Revenge // by Chris-Cross13 //------------------------------// The sun rises on another day in Canterlot. It's been one week since Celestia and Luna surrendered to Trixie, and things have changed for the worse. The castle is now light blue, with a huge banner with a picture of Trixie that says "Hail The Great and Powerful Princess Trixie!". Everyday, the ponies of Canterlot and Ponyville are required to come and bow to their new ruler. If anypony does not attend, they will be thrown into the dungeon by Trixie's guards. The Mane Six and The Princesses have been reduced to Trixie's slaves, and Christian is still hypnotized, and is now living at the castle to help Princess Trixie. Christian emerges from his room and walks downstairs to the kitchen. As he enters, he sees Princess Trixie sitting down with Twilight in her chains and a maid outfit cooking something. "Good morning Princess Trixie!" Trixie looks over at her assistant. "Good morning my loyal, royal assistant! Did you sleep well?" "Indeed, I had a fine sleep." Christian then looks at Trixie's head. "Your crown looks excellent today, Princess Trixie." "You really like it? Rarity just finished shining it!" Trixie's crown looked almost exactly like Twilight's but with a moon and wand as the emblem. The crown was also decorated with various jewels and was a little bigger then a normal crown. "She'll be finished with the rest of my outfit later. I ripped my cape the other day and I refuse to wear it until it's fixed!" "I see." Christian answers as he sits next to Trixie. "Anyway, what is Twilight cooking?" "Some earth food I discovered called "pancakes". I don't understand them though. They look nothing like a cake." Trixie pulls up the pancake mix box. "See? They look more like flattened bread" Christian laughs at this. "Don't worry Princess Trixie, most of our food is like that. I can assure you that pancakes are delicious." "Would you like some Christian?" Christian thinks about it. "Yes, I would like some." Trixie looks over at Twilight. "Oh, servant! Make Christian some of those "pancakes" as well!" "Yes Great and Powerful Princess Trixie." Twilight answers as she takes out a second pan. Christian goes to take a look at the calendar. He is shocked at what he sees. "Princess Trixie, do you know what day it is?" He asks. "Uhh, your birthday?" Trixie responds as Twilight puts two plates of golden pancakes on the table. Christian returns to eat his breakfast. "No. It has been exactly one week since you have begun your rule. No other ruler has lasted this long, besides Celestia and Luna." Trixie nearly chokes on a mouthful of pancake when she hears this. "WOW! A WHOLE WEEK?!" Trixie exclaims. "Indeed. Congratulations Princess Trixie." Christian applauds for the light blue princess. "Thank you Christian! We must celebrate later. Perhaps after we address my people." Trixie says. she then turns to Twilight. "Oh Twilight, I believe you did not congratulate me on my success." Twilight sighs. "Congratulations Great and Powerful Princess Trixie." She says with a little bit of anger in her tone. "Much better!" Trixie exclaims as she finishes the last bite of her pancakes. Christian finishes his as well. "How were the pancakes Princess Trixie?" He asks. "They were delicious! Odd how they look so bland but taste so good!" Trixie answers. "Twilight, clean the dishes. Then, you can return to your daily chores." "Yes Great and Powerful Princess Trixie." Twilight answers. Trixie and Christian leave to the main throne room as Twilight cleans up. Her tears are barely noticeable with the mix of water and soap as she cleans the dishes. "I can't believe its come to this." She mutters to herself. Meanwhile, in the throne room, Trixie sits down in her light blue throne. Adorned with her cutie mark on top, glistening in the sun. Christian sits right next to her in a smaller, silver throne. "Ahh! Much more comfortable than that throne made of rocks." Trixie stated. "Rarity should almost be done with my new cape. While we wait, let's check the weather." "As you wish, Princess Trixie." Next to Trixie was a little table with a small bell on it. Trixie rang the bell once. "Servant Dash! Report!" She yelled. A few seconds later, Dash ran in from a nearby corridor, he chains clanging together as she ran. Dash quickly knelt in front of the light blue princess, slightly out of breath. "What's the weather servant?" Trixie asked. "90 degrees...and sunny...with a...zero percent...chance of...rain...Great and Powerful Princess Trixie!" Dash replied, painting heavily. Christian looked at Dash curiously. "Why are you painting so hard?" he asked. "Sorry. I'm still not used to running everywhere." Dash replied. "Thank you servant. Now, return to your cell!" Trixie demanded. "Yes Great and Powerful Princess Trixie!" Dash ran back to the dungeon, with two guards following to make sure she does what she's told. A moment later, Rarity dashes in to the main room with a cardboard box. Her eyes are blood-shot and her hair is unkempt. She hasn't had any sleep for the past few days. She's been working on a new cape to replace Trixie's old, ripped one that she gave to her a few days ago. Rarity kneels before her. "Sorry i'm late Great and Powerful Princess Trixie, but I finally finished your new outfit!" Rarity opens the box to take out a sparkling cobalt-blue dress and cape. It was covered in periwinkle moons and wands. And to hold it all together, was a broach resembling Trixie's cutie mark, which was the same light blue color, besides the tip of the wand which was gold. Trixie is stunned by her new dress. She quickly grabs it and puts it on. "It's beautiful! What do you think Christian?" Trixie walks around and poses in her new dress. "It looks great on you Princess Trixie!" He replies. "I'm so glad you love it Great and Powerful Princess Trixie!" Rarity says. "But, may I finally sleep now, Great and Powerful Princess Trixie? I haven't gotten any shut-eye in days!" Rarity kneels down and starts begging. Trixie sits back down in her throne. "Yes, you may sleep now servant." Trixie replies. Rarity's face shows a sign of gratitude. "Oh, thank you Great and Powerful Princess Trixie!" Rarity starts kissing Trixie's forehooves while repeating. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" After a few seconds of that, Rarity rushes back to her cell for some rest. "C'mon Christian! Let's show my ponies my new look!" Trixie starts walking toward the balcony outside. "As you wish, Ms. Trixie." Christian follows her out. Trixie steps out onto the castle balcony. Below her are hundreds of ponies for Canterlot and Ponyville. All cheering for her. Christian appears next to Trixie and puts his hand up to silence the ponies. "Citizens of Equestria! Bow before your leader: The Great and Powerful Princess Trixie!" He shouts to the townspeople. The ponies bow before Trixie as she appears. In sync they shout to their light blue princess. "HAIL THE GREAT AND POWERFUL PRINCESS TRIXIE!" "I love this part!" Trixie says as the citizens cheer her name. As Trixie flaunts around the balcony, the citizens cheer even louder. "HAIL! HAIL! HAIL THE GREAT AND POWERFUL PRINCESS TRIXIE!!" They repeat this over and over until Christian puts his hand up again. The crowd immediately becomes silent. "Good. You ponies may now return to your duties." The crowd dissipates from the castle grounds. "Awww, I only wished it lasted longer." Trixie says as she returns inside the castle. Christian follows her soon after. A few hours later, Trixie is sitting in her throne, bored as ever. Trixie growls. "Where is the entertainment?! I called her two minutes ago! If she doesn't show up in ten seconds, i'm going to..." Pinkie dashes into the room in a jester's outfit. "WAIT! I'm here! I'm here!" Pinkie takes out some pins and starts balancing on a ball. "Now, who's ready to party?!" Pinkie starts juggling the pins while rolling on top of the ball. Trixie starts giggling at the little show Pinkie puts on. She than starts panting heavily. "Hey Christian, are you sweating right now?" Trixie says as she starts fanning herself with her hoof. "No, but Dash did say it was hot out." He rings the bell. "Royal fanner! Get in here!" AJ runs in with a huge palm leaf fan. "Yes Christian?" She says. "Fan The Great and Powerful Princess Trixie!" AJ complies and starts fanning Trixie. Trixie sighs in relief. "Better Great and Powerful Princess Trixie?" AJ asks. "Yes, thank you servant." Trixie replies. "But, i'm still not comfortable." Trixie rings the bell twice. Moments later, Celestia and Luna dash into the throne room. "Yes Great and Powerful Princess Trixie?" They say together. "You know what to do." Trixie replies. The Princesses sigh and nod their heads. Celestia kneels under Trixie's back hooves to become her foot rest. Luna goes under Christian's feet to become his foot rest. "Ahh! Much better." she sighs in comfort. Trixie rings her bell three times. A few seconds later, Fluttershy enters and kneels before Trixie. "Servant! I need a report on Princess Candace and Shining Armor." Trixie says. "Umm...Your guards captured them last night, Great and Powerful Princess Trixie." Fluttershy says. Celestia and Luna exchange looks of worry. "Excellent! I must thank Blueblood later. Bring them in!" Trixie exclaims. Fluttershy whistled quietly and a few seconds later, four guards came in with Candace and Armor in chains. "Hello you two!" Trixie says. "Now, let's get right down to it. Do you two solemnly swear to my eternal rule as princess of Equestria?" She asks. The four guards forcefully push Candace and Armor onto their knees. They point their horns at them, ready to strike if they refuse. Armor and Candace sigh. "Yes Great and Powerful Princess Trixie." They say in unison. "Excellent! Guards, show these two to their new cells." Trixie says. The guards push the two of them to the other end of the throne room. The two of them look back at Trixie with great disdain. Trixie goes back to watching Pinkie's show. While Pinkie is balancing and juggling, Pinkie speaks in a nervous but excited tone. "Are you enjoying my show, Great and Powerful Trixie?" Trixie looks at Pinkie in a concerned manner. "Yes, but it's missing...Something." Christian notices this as well. Pinkie's performance needed... flare. He gasps as he finds a solution and then rapidly starts ringing the bell. "Servant Dash! Come here! NOW!" He shouts. Dash runs in, less tired as she has been running laps in her cell. "Yes Christian?" She says. "I want you to go fetch me a pie." He says. "Right away Christian!" Dash runs to the kitchen and comes back with a pie. "Here you are Christian!" She says, giving him the pie. "Thank you Dash." He replies. Trixie looks at her assistant with great confusion. "What's the pie for?" She asks. Christian smirks at Trixie. "THIS!" He throws the pie at Pinkie's face. Pinkie falls off the ball and lands flat on the ground. The pins she was juggling land one by one on her head. Pinkie gets up and licks the pie off of her face. "Mmmm! Banana Crème!" Trixie laughs hysterically at her servant's little prank. "Oh, Christian! That's much better!" Trixie falls out of her throne from laughing so hard. Tears are streaming down her cheeks as she tosses and rolls on the floor. After a few minutes, she calms down and returns to her throne. "Ahh, good one Christian!" Christian nods in agreement. "Thank you Princess Trixie." A thought then crosses his mind. "You know Princess Trixie, you haven't really celebrated our one-week-rule yet." Trixie eyes widen when He says this. "You're absolutely right Christian! But, how should we celebrate?" Trixie gets up from her throne and paces back and forth. "Ah ha! Got it!" Trixie quickly ran over to her bell and started ringing it. "All servants report!" She yelled. In seconds, Twilight, Dash, and Rarity joined with AJ, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and The Princesses in the throne room. "What do you request of us, Great and Powerful Princess Trixie?" Twilight asks as she kneels before Princess Trixie. Trixie sits back in her throne. "I command all of you to dance in my honor for my one week rule!" She then looks over to Christian. "Except for you Christian, I know how much you hate dancing!" He nods. "As you wish, Ms. Trixie." Trixie then points over to DJ Pon3. "DJ! Crank up the music!" DJ nods. "You got it PT!" DJ immediately cranks up some music. The Six and The Princesses start dancing, their chains clanging and clattering together, but the sound of their chains are drowned out by the music Twilight thinks to herself as she dances. "I may be forced to dance, but at least it's good music!" She joins the others as they dance together. Trixie starts nodding her head to the beat and starts tapping her hoof. Finally, she can't take it anymore. Trixie jumps out of her throne and starts dancing wildly, her hooves stomping to the beat. Christian watches the ponies dance with a look of confusion on his face, but he shrugs it off as nothing. After the dancing a few hours later, Trixie orders everyone to their cells for bed. The Six and The Princesses join Candace and Shining Armor in the dungeon. "Bedtime servants!" A guard yells at them as he turns the lantern off and slams the door. Twilight looks over at her brother. "Good night Shining. Good night Candace." She says softly. "Good night." They reply as the go to their beds. Twilight then looks over to Celestia and Luna. "Good night Prin...Celestia and Luna" Twilight says with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Good night." They say, with sorrow drawn all over their faces. Celestia starts crying softly as she returns to her bed. Twilight goes to her bed, still crying. Dash notices this and goes to comfort her friend. "It's okay Twilight." She says. "No it's not!" Twilight yells. "Dash, face it! We're all slaves now to Trixie! Christian is hypnotized, and if the U.S. Government tries to interfere, Trixie will start a war with them!" Twilight starts bawling. The others get up to see what's going on. AJ goes over to their crying friend. "Twi, even if we stay Trixie's servants forever, we'll get through it together." AJ says, smiling. Twilight wipes the tears from her eyes. "You...You're right Applejack. I'm sorry." "It's not you're fault Twilight." Rarity says. "Yea! It's all Trixie's fault!" Pinkie yells. "Shh! Be quiet Pinkie! You don't want a guard to catch you saying that!" Fluttershy says quietly. "Oops! Sorry!" Pinkie says. "But it doesn't matter Twilight! As long as we're together, we'll get through anything!" she says with excitement. "Yea, Twilight! We'll be friends through the end!" AJ says. "Even if that end is us being Trixie servants forever." Dash adds. AJ, Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy glare at Dash. "Sorry!" Dash says. Twilight sniffles and wipes her eyes again. "You girls are the best friends a pony could ever have!" Twilight hugs her friends, tears of joy roll down their cheeks. The Six's cell is lit up by the only light of the full moon, shining on the The six friends hugging. Twilight looks at her friends after breaking the group hug. "If we never get out of this mess girls, I want you to know you're the best." "Thanks Twilight. You too" The others say as they go to their hay beds. The Six fall asleep quietly, with the last one awake being Twilight. Twilight lies down and looks outside of the bars of her cell at the moon, now covered by a cloud. She looks at the moon with hope that maybe, just maybe, their's a chance they could get out of this. To be free again. Maybe...
