Trixie sat there, staring at herself in the mirror. She was ready. Her hat and cape were immaculate and in place, and her entire performance had been rehearsed to the point of perfection. Everything was set to go off without a hitch, now only needing her presence on stage. With a happy sigh, she turned to the lever to open her stage, but something caught her eye. She turned to look at it, and smiled.
Staring back at her was a happy pink pony. She had a wide and happy grin, fluffy pink hair, and amazing blue eyes. Most ponies would look into those eyes and see carelessness and happiness. But all Trixie could see was love.
Trixie’s heart fluttered as she looked into the picture. Sometimes, she hated the the lifestyle she liked so much. She could never drag her lover around on her journeys for she had loads of other ponies that needed her. Not even mentioning her duties as one of the Elements of Harmony. But Trixie could never give up her performances, it was a double edged sword.
Though, Trixie found solace in the schedule she worked for herself. She would spend twenty-eight days traveling, and fourteen days in Ponyville. This gave her plenty of time with the one she loved, and the chance to show her skills to the ponies of Equestria.
Trixie picked up the picture with her magic. She pulled it towards herself, looking at it intently. Well, perhaps Trixie is lying a little about having plenty of time.
“Oh Pinkie, if only I could hear your voice, that adorable, squeaky voice of yours.”
With another sigh, she leaned in and kissed her lovers image softly. As she pulled away she whispered the words she always did when she would leave Ponyville, the words she whispered every night when she lay down for sleep, and the words she whispered before every show.
“I won’t forget you, baby.”
She had awkwardly made that their phrase right before leaving the first time. Back then, they had had quite a laugh over it. But now, she loved it, even if it was kind of cheesey.
She sat the picture back down, and with one final soft smile, turned around. Trixie put on her usual determined, cocky grin, and pulled the lever, deploying the stage.
“Come one, come all! And witness feats never before seen by pony eyes!...”
