//------------------------------// // Entries 11-15 // Story: One Trick Pony // by Saphin //------------------------------// Entry 11 Another uninspired performance by Trixie, The One and Only! Most of the crowd left before my big finale! I've been working on a light show to use as part of my performance. The inn keeper let me stay free of charge for the performance. I couldn't look him in the eye after the show. I could feel the tears ready to burst! I just said thanks and went to my room. I'm leaving in the middle of the night again. I don't want to see the old colt who runs this inn again. I'll just cry, I know it! Trixie, The One and Only does NOT cry! She's strong! At least I didn't screw up my performance this time. -Trixie, The One and Only runaway. Entry 12 I'm just two towns away from Manehatten. I tried to sneak on the train but they caught me. I told them I just hadn't gotten around to getting my ticket and paid for one right then and there. I'm almost out of bits and almost out of rations. The train food is terrible. -Trixie, The One and Only unsuccessful train hopper. Entry 13 Here I am, one town away from Manehatten and I'm already out of luck! Trottingham. Almost as cosmopolitan as Manehatten! I've been asking all the venues around trying to find somepony who will let me perform. I'm two rejections away from just finding a soap box and a corner! I'll look like some kind of lecturing lunatic! -Trixie, The One and Only raving lunatic! Entry 14 Surprise surprise! I screwed up again! I was run out of town for accidentally starting a fire at one of Hoity Toity's shops! How was I supposed to know that runway I found just LYING there belonged to somepony! It was perfect for my show too! Same with those curtains; I didn't know they were THAT flammable. But here I am, RUN out of town! They stopped chasing me a mile or so back but I kept running. Its muddy and raining right now. I'm not even sure if I'm headed in the right direction of Manehatten! I wouldn't be surprised if I screwed that up too! -Trixie, The One and Only screw up! Entry 15 Journal. I have a confession to make. I'm not a very popular pony. Even back in Canterlot, none of my class mates liked me. I never got invited to parties, sleep overs, study sessions, nothing! They'd turn away from me in the halls and in the courtyard. I always had to study by myself! You're my only friend, journal. Mom and dad probably don't even notice I'm gone! I bet they're just going to work everyday like nothing happened! Always too busy with royal duties and magical research for the Equestrian guard to care about their only daughter, Trixie! Trixie, The One and Only forgotten pony! I don't know why I'm writing this to you journal. Maybe I just want someone to know who I was before... I can't even write it... I'm so cold, and so hungry.
