"That's terrible." said Twilight sympathetically.
"Yeah." agreed Trixie. "And it was all my fault. All because I cared more about performing than my friends."
"Did you ever make up?" asked Rainbow Dash.
Trixie sighed. "No. I never did."
I sat at the kitchen table staring at me plate of food, thinking about Butters.
"Eat your food before it gets cold." my mom said.
"Trixie will eat when Trixie is ready." I said coldly.
"Don't talk to your mother that way." I let out a sigh. "What's going on?" asked my dad. "You've been acting different lately. You've been disrespectful. You're speaking in the third-pony for some reason. I also hear that you had an argument with your friend."
"She's not Trixie's friend." I said. "Not anymore."
"It's because of your attitude."
I felt a rage build up inside me.
"No. It's because Trixie doesn't need anypony!"
"Watch the tone." said my father.
"No. Trixie'll speak however Trixie wants!" This caught my parents by surprise. I've never talked back before. "Trixie can think for herself and doesn't need anypony telling her what to do!"
"Go to your room." my father ordered. "Now. I don't want to see you for the rest of the night."
"FINE!" I yelled. "And don't worry. You'll never have to see me again!"
I stood up abruptly and stormed to my room. I grabbed my wand and headed back downstairs.
"Where do you think you're going?" asked my father who was standing next to the stairs.
"Away from here!"
"Go back to your room."
"NO! ANYPLACE IS BETTER THAN HERE!"
"THEN GO!" he yelled.
"Honey." my mom whispered.
A tear fell form my eye.
"I WILL!"
I turned and bolted out the door. I ran and ran, leaving my home further and further in the distance. I kept running until I wound up in a forest near town.
"I DON'T NEED ANYPONY!" I cried. I slowed to pace and fell to my knees. "I don't."
I sat in the dark forest... all alone. Just like Butters warned me about. I curled up and listened to the creatures scurrying in the woods. I could just pray that they wouldn't attack me.
Applejack stared in shock and sadness. "What happened?" she asked.
Trixie let out a sigh. "They did."
A Timberwolf burst through the brush and snarled. I jumped up, startled. It lunged at me, swiping a claw. I raised a foreleg to block and the wolf clawed it. Blood dripped from the cuts as I stumbled backwards. The wolf howled and I ran in the opposite direction. I knew for sure I was running away from Hoofington. I just didn't know where I would end up. I stumbled over roots and ducked under branches, getting cut as I did. I soon felt as though I couldn't run anymore, and collapsed. I rolled over on my back and watched as the Timber wolf got closer and closer. I let out a scream as it leaped into the air. My horn suddenly started to glow. The last thing I saw was the Timberwolf's face as the scenery around me faded into a dark room. I looked around at my new surroundings. I was now in some kind of storage shed.
"You teleported?" asked Twilight. "As a foal?"
Trixie nodded. "I'm not sure how, either. I guess instinct kicked in just in time."
The door opened, letting in a bright light.
"Who's there?" asked a voice.
"Uhh..." I stammered.
"Oh... you're just a little filly."
A figure knelt down in front of me. The blindness was starting to wear off as I saw an indigo-colored colt with a white mane.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"T-Trixie."
