One day, there was a pony named the Great and Powerful Trixie. She was an amazing magician, worthy of all the praise that ever came her way. Perhaps she could be a bit headstrong or self-centered at times, but when a pony is as talented as she, they sometimes cannot help themselves in that aspect. Everypony has their flaws, and this was the one and only flaw that Trixie possessed.
Trixie had gone through a rather rough patch recently. Of course, being as great and powerful as she was, she was able to make it through such hard times. To be fair, though, she likely would have had a bit of a harder time doing so if not for the help of others. Not that she would have been incapable of it; it simply would have taken longer.
Trixie was feeling rather down on this particular day (which probably seems difficult to believe for anypony who knows how great Trixie is). Her ego had been dealt a devastating blow by a visit from Fluttershy just a few days earlier. Fluttershy had made her feel very bad, and although Trixie knew that she was far too nice to do that on purpose, she had a hard time accepting that at first. Trixie had opened her heart to Fluttershy and admitted her feelings for her, and Fluttershy had...well, she was already involved with somepony. Trixie was crushed, and fell into a deep depression, one so deep that nopony else could match it. Trixie was the best at everything she did, even things that she did not want to be good at like being depressed. Such is the burden of the Great and Powerful Trixie.
Trixie was expecting yet another day of sadness and depression, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this would not be the case as she watched Fluttershy and her friends approach her cart. The six of them, especially Fluttershy, apologized to Trixie for how bad she was feeling, and they each brought a present for Trixie. Applejack gave Trixie a new wheel for her cart, something which Trixie needed despite her distrust of wheels. Rarity had made Trixie a new hat and cape which actually managed to look nearly as good as the ones Trixie owned had looked when they were brand new. Rainbow Dash had managed to earn Trixie a position as an opening act for an upcoming Wonderbolts show, and while Trixie knew she was better than an opening act, the gesture was still appreciated. Pinkie Pie had brought all the supplies necessary for a giant party in Trixie's honor, which made Trixie feel quite honored indeed.
As for Fluttershy, she apologized over and over again to Trixie for making her feel terrible. As Trixie expected, she had never meant to do so. She informed Trixie that she and her marefriend had spoken about the idea of polygamy, and that her marefriend had offered to allow Fluttershy and Trixie to experiment with this idea. Trixie knew in her heart that Fluttershy had proposed this because she could not resist the charm and grace of the Great and Powerful Trixie, but she opted not to say this at that moment, instead granting Fluttershy the esteemed privilege of a hug from her. The other ponies joined in on the hug, as a very small, centralized downpour of rain just so happened to appear and drop raindrops just under Trixie's eyes and down her cheeks.
Trixie was very thankful for these ponies whom she now graciously allowed to be called "friends." Even Princess Stu-
...Even Twilight Sparkle.
