Trixie steeled herself. This was not going to be like the other times. Trixie reached forward and knocked.

Twilight Sparkle opened the door to find Trixie standing there, no hat, no cape, and no fireworks.

“Trixie thinks that Twilight Sparkle is far too attractive for her own good, and that while Trixie recognises that her own magical talent is a mere pittance compared to that of Twilight Sparkles’, she would very much to request that Twilight Sparkle and Trixie go out for dinner sometime, as Trixie has attended Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, and has not had a chance to talk serious magic with anypony in a long time. Trixie also recognises that her own magical education is technically incomplete, and would appreciate The Great and Powerful Twilight Sparkle’s help in filling in the gaps in Trixie’s knowledge in the future, if the Amazing and Smart Twilight Sparkle is agreeable to this idea.”
Twilight Sparkle blinked as she processed the statement. 

“Hold on for a minute,” said Twilight, gently shutting the door, and trotting over to check her calender. Outside, Trixie was holding herself back from activating her firework spell out of sheer joy.

The door opened again.

“Next Wednesday,” said Twilight Sparkle, “eight o’clock, at the Bit and Bridle, and we’ll se what happens from there.”

Trixie couldn’t contain it anymore, and the air around her filled with explosions in every colour of the rainbow.

“Trixie thanks the Amazing and Sexy Twilight Sparkle! She will not regret this!”

“I think I already do,” muttered Twilight, moving back inside, and leaving Trixie to her explosion of joy.
