As the Divine and Beautiful Trixie matured, she slowly outgrew her adorability to everyone but Max. However, she grew into a true beauty. Her mane and tail shimmered with an inner light as they flowed in their own mystic breeze. Her coat glowed with health, and her eyes shimmered with inner starlight. Even those who were not attracted to tiny equines found their hearts stopping when she smiled regally at them.
Of course, as she passed puberty, those smiles became fewer and further between. Her demeanor began to become more waspish and irritable. Her 'divine punishments for misdeeds' became more frequent, and more mean spirited. It was slowly becoming a dark time for the believers. However, the molemen spoke of how this time came for all beings, and all would be better once she matured. Parents across the world nodded wisely. Adolescence was always a trying time, and strict limitations had to be implemented to prevent teenagers from becoming monsters. ...but the only one who could put limitations on the Goddess of Earth didn't seem to be in a limiting mood.
Eventually, however, even Max realized that Trixie was upset about something, shortly after her 18th birthday - a lavish public ceremony and holiday by day, and a private party with just family by night, as it had always been since her ascendance. "What's bothering you, Trixie?" he asked the next day, scratching her behind the ear.
Trixie struggled against the caress at first, the very sign that had told Max that this wasn't just Trixie becoming an evil overlord as he'd thought. "Trixie is...lonesome," she said finally.
"Want to go hit a ball game?" Max offered. "Or a movie? Or a night club?"
"Perhaps invite Sybil and Bosco up to the Sky Fortress for a quasi-family reunion?" Sam offered.
Trixie glanced away. "Not that kind of lonesome," she pouted.
Max and Sam both gazed at her in confusion.
"Trixie wants sex, dammit!" she snapped.
"Oh..." Sam and Max replied together.
"So, we should be finding you a gigolo?" Max offered.
"Trixie doesn't just want meaningless sex," she complained. "Trixie wants a consort! Someone to worship Trixie as a mare rather than as a goddess, to make Trixie feel good...and someday give Trixie babies."
"So we should be setting up some sort of 'divine bachelorette' contest?" Sam offered, unaware that the entirety of this conversation was being broadcast through the Speech Stones. "Sending out to the world for all the unmarried young men to submit themselves to compete for the chance to court you?"
"Humans? Ick!" Trixie stuck her tongue out as she made gagging noises. "Trixie doesn't want to date humans! They're all hairless and icky!"
Overnight, the market dropped out from under razors and shaving cream. In other news, there was a massive boom in 'miracle hair grow' products for the entire body.
In unrelated news, before the year was out, Bigfoot sightings had increased dramatically...though 99% of them turned out to just be 'exceptionally hairy humans'.
"Well, what else can we do?" Max asked. "Open a dimensional gateway connected to the world of your origins so you can pick a likely stallion you can drag back here kicking and screaming to lock up in a sex dungeon?"
Trixie smiled eagerly. "That can work!"
"Well, I don't know about the sex dungeon," Sam pointed out, "but Mama Bosco does have that Dimensional Destabilizer we used to retrieve the Cthulic Powered Robot. It could be possible to use it to connect to whatever world you come from."
"You can do that?" Trixie demanded eagerly. "Why didn't you tell Trixie years ago?"
"We didn't think you wanted to go back," Max pointed out.
"Well...Trixie doesn't, really," she replied. "But Trixie wants a stallion of her own! Let's go!"
"To Mama Bosco's!" Sam proclaimed, taking the controls of the Sky Fortress to guide them there.
Mama Bosco smiled down at Trixie. "Jane thought you'd need something like this one of these days," she said easily. "We've been spending the past few years scanning the multiverse to find the exact dimension you come from."
"...exact?" Trixie asked, confused.
"Well, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of variations of individual dimensions," Mama Bosco explained. "While it was easy enough to find the dimension cluster where the prime world was inhabited by ponies, finding the one that was presently missing its variation of you was a bit harder."
"Eventually, I came up with the idea of looking at the timeline point of your arrival, and tracing it into the cluster to find the timeline you were plucked from," Jane explained. "Once we succeeded, we had to create a quantum stabilization effect so that - when the dimensions were connected again - time would pass at the same rate on both sides of the bridge, and the laws of physics would more or less normalize."
"We finished all that three years ago," Mama Bosco explained.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Sam demanded. "You saw how Trixie was getting!"
"We had not yet gathered enough planetary psychic energy to stabilize the gateway," Jane explained. "We needed enough so that it would be a stable bridge, and last for more than ten seconds."
"How were you gathering the energy?" Max asked curiously.
"From the Speech Stones during morning and evening worship," Jane replied. "The entire planet united in thought and action in worshiping Trixie provided a surge of psychic energy to be properly harvested. I've been storing that carefully since the worship became planet wide."
"We can now open the bridge and keep it open for a whole week," Mama Bosco concluded. "And once we've opened it once, we'll be able to do it far more efficiently next time. Should only take a week or so of energy harvesting between gate openings to recharge."
"Then prepare the gate!" Trixie proclaimed. "Trixie shall make a good impression as she returns to her home world as a goddess!"
It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. The sun was shining, the sky was clear, fillies and colts were at play, and the Crystal Castle sparkled in the early morning light. It looked to be a perfect day...which was why long time adult citizens were double checking their home insurance to be sure they were paid up and covered 'acts of plot convenience'.
When six particular mares' Cutie Marks began vibrating around town, several of the older citizens vacated to their bunkers, just to be on the safe side.
Twilight, for her part, stared at the Map in worry once all her friends had gathered. All six Cutie Marks floated over the Map, focusing in on Ponyville fields. Just as it zoomed in enough that individual foals playing together could be picked out, a rip appeared in the air between the circling Cutie Marks, and the Map failed.
"What in tarnation was that?" Applejack demanded in confusion.
"I...I have no idea," Twilight admitted fearfully. "Whatever it is, we need to get to Ponyville Fields."
At the fields, the six mares found a rip in the air at ground level that was slowly widening. Ponies from all around town had gathered to see what was going on, since it didn't seem to be destroying anything or releasing horrors of any sort. It was, however, slowly opening wider.
Twilight took a quick glance into the rip and gasped. "It's...it's a dimensional gate!"
"How do you know that so quick?" Rainbow demanded.
"Because the energy vortex inside is identical to the one through the mirror portal!" Twilight replied, quickly writing a letter to Princess Celestia and having Spike send it.
"Well that's a good thing, right?" Pinkie suggested. "Maybe your friends from that world are coming here-"
"Do you have any idea how much power it takes to anchor a dimensional portal?" Twilight interrupted. "Let alone create one that isn't anchored on both sides? I don't even want to think what could be coming through that could have that much power." She spread her wings. "Everypony step back!" she ordered, pitching her voice so everypony present could hear.
At that moment, the portal overcome the dimensional inertia keeping it shut and flared open, stabilizing as a gateway, a swirling vortex of colors and light visible within it. Two figures stepped out, barely recognizable to most Ponyvillians, although Fluttershy had to be held back from flying forward to snuggle them, since they were, 'so cuuute!'
Sam and Max turned to face each other, kneeling before the portal. "Presenting the living Goddess of Earth," Sam intoned ritualistically.
"Let all who behold her know love and despair, for she is all powerful!" Max intoned.
"Her divine countenance brings grace!"
"Her beauty brings glory!"
They raised their voices together. "Her Holiness, the Divine and Beautiful Trixie!"
Trixie strutted out through the portal, her head lifted as her horn glittered in the sunlight. Her wings were spread wide to display her majestic glory as her mane and tail shimmered and waved. Garbed in a gown of white silk, a crown of gold and diamonds rested just behind her horn. "Behold, ponies!" she proclaimed. "For Trixie has returned to-"
"Trixie?" Twilight gasped in disbelief. "Is that really you?" she stepped forward in excitement. "Where have you been? How did you become an alicorn? When did this happen?"
Trixie stared at Twilight in disbelief. "You!" she stated in shock. "You are the one who always showed Trixie up in her dreams of the other life!" She stared from Twilight's horn to her wings. "How is it you have ascended as Trixie-" She paused. "What is an alicorn?"
Twilight smiled. "An alicorn is a pony who has the traits of all three pony tribes! It means you're a Princess now, like me!"
Trixie stared at Twilight, flummoxed. "A mere Princess?" she demanded. "The Great and Powerful Trixie is Goddess of her world, and-"
"What's a Goddess?" Twilight asked.
"A female God," Sam replied.
"What's a god?" Pinkie asked.
Trixie stared at the gathered ponies for a time in disbelief, then turned her nose up with a 'hmph.' "Well, Trixie will not be remaining in this world any longer than she has to. Once she has what she came for, Trixie is returning to Earth where she is loved and worshiped as is proper for a Goddess, rather than here where she is one of...how many Princesses?"
"Including you...five," Twilight replied.
"Five? Ugh!" Trixie shuddered. "Trixie will not be one of many."
"So...what did ya come back for then?" Applejack demanded.
"Trixie has come for a stallion to be her divine consort!" she proclaimed. Glancing around, she spied a particular stallion. "You!" she proclaimed, pointing. "You will be Trixie's consort!"
"Nope!" The stallion said quickly. He then began to back up as fast as his legs could take him, saying, "Nopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenope..." as he raced away, Trixie hot on his hooves.
As most of Ponyville stared, Celestia came in for a landing. "I came as soon as I got your letter, Twilight," she said as she folded her wings. "You said something about an interdimensional portal? Please-"
"Nopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopenope..." The stallion sped past them backwards going the other way, putting on a burst of speed that had Rainbow Dash whistling respectfully.
"Come back you big red hunk of burning love!" Trixie called as she pursued. "Give Trixie your demigod babies!"
"...explain?" Celestia concluded as she stared after them.
"...I really wish I could," Twilight replied.
