//------------------------------// // A Sparkle to Love // Story: A Sparkle to Love // by Rainbow Heart //------------------------------// The sun shone bright it was almost as hot as it would be in the summer holidays. It would be another usual day for Trixie or so she thought to herself when she woke up in her room that morning. She rubbed her eyes and let out a yawn as she stretched her arms. She moved her legs to the right side of her bed so she could get up. She walked up to her mirror and sat down on the chair that was placed before the desk underneath the mirror. She smiled at herself as usual she looked absolutely stunning her hair is even more prettier then the stars themselves. She grabbed her hair brush and started to brush her hair. 'Today is a new day Trixie, show all of them at school who is the greatest of them all'. She felt proud after thinking that to herself. She then dressed herself and then brushed her hair again she did it twice every morning she wanted to make sure everyone would adore her as much as they could. She hummed her own song to herself 'tricks up my sleeves' while packing her bags for school. She put her bag over her shoulders as she carried it on her back. She left her room and walked out of her house to go to the nearest bus stop there she waited for the bus to arrive to go to school. She saw the bus coming her way from afar. ''There's the bus that get the honor of taking the great and powerful Trixie to school.'' She said to herself. The bus arrived and the doorway opened. She looked around to see where she would take a seat. Her eyes went across the seats most had already been taken. Then she saw her the girl with the light purple skin,Purple eyes and dark purple hair with a darker shade of purple and a soft pink trough it. Trixie stared at her. She was so beautiful and to Trixie her surprise she was sitting alone. The most popular girl in school, the girl who has five best friends, the girl that was the elite in magic and most importantly to Trixie the girl she had a crush on. None other then Twilight Sparkle was sitting alone? She always had someone next to her either Rainbow Dash , Fluttershy , Applejack , Pinkie Pie or Rarity but today she sat alone. Trixe rose her nose up closing her eyes not to make eye contact with the others who sat in the bus. She decided to take her chance and sit next to Twilight Sparkle. Twilight smiled kindly at her. ''Oh Hello Trixie. Goodmorning. It's a surprise to see you sit next to me.'' ''Why because you think you're so popular? I'll catch up to you in no time Sparkle.'' Trixie had a grin of her face. Even though she was sitting next to the girl she had a crush on she wouldn't lose her guard. Twilight her face was struck with some confusion. ''No, it's just that you never sat next to me before it's not that I don't like it I love making new friends.'' ''Well the great and powerful Trixie doesn't mind a friendship with you, but don't get any weird ideas that you're able to beat my awesome magic. It even rivals alicorn magic you'll be sure to see it one day.'' ''Suuure Trixie. Well would you like to join me for lunch?'' Now it was Trixie her turn to be surprised. Twilight asked her to have lunch with Trixie. Ofcourse she would accept it but she didn't want it to be some kind of prank or some stupid joke even though Twilight seemed one of the most kindest people to have around you have to be realistic. ''What about the friends you usually have lunch with?'' ''Oh they'll be there too.'' ''Then why are none of them sitting next to you?'' ''Well Pinkie Pie was late for the bus, Rainbow Dash already promised Fluttershy to sit next to her and well the bus stops at Applejack her house first and then Rarity so they usually sit together.'' ''I see.'' The bus kept on driving towards school it would take around 15 minutes before they would arrive at school. There was a silence after Twilight had answered Trixie her questions. The two never really talked long to each other sometimes they were assigned to do a project together but all the talking that happened there was about the project instead of getting to know each other a lot better. After all Twilight took her projects so serious they barely talked about anything but the project. They did get to know each other a little bit from time to time but usually the two would be separated from one another because it just wasn't usual for them to hang out that much. Trixie tried to find something to talk about again. Today was her chance to get closer for Twilight and nothing would be in the way there was no project or anything like it. Trixie kept trying to think of something. She could feel her heartbeat race when she thought about the lunch both of excitement and anxiety. Really if she couldn't even keep the conversation going now how would it be at the lunch? Before Trixie could think of something Twilight had already broken the silence. ''So Trixie have you been practicing any magic during your pony up lately?'' ''Of course I have who do you think I am? After all even though my magic abilities are beyond amazing I still need to keep them in shape. There's no time for lazyness.'' ''I agree with that last statement'' Twilight chuckled as Trixie looked away to hide a little blush. ''Well I must admit you are pretty good at magic yourself'' ''Wow...That's really sweet of you to hear Trixie. I thought you only cared about your own skill but I guess I was wrong.'' ''I just want recognition that's all.'' ''Well if you keep up your hard work and learn more about friendship and socialization I'm sure you'll get it sooner or later.'' Trixie got a smile on her face as she smiled at Twilight. It was really nice to hear that especially from Twilight. Trixie felt even more excitement when Twilight gave her a smile back. Trixie wanted to talk even more but before she knew it the bus had already arrived at school. She was so caught up in her conversation with Twilight she didn't notice the other stops at all. Twilight was one of the first to get up as she waved smiling at Trixie. ''I'll see you at lunch Trixie.'' Trixie watched Twilight walk away from her as Twilight joined her friends and left the bus. Trixie got up too leaving the bus. She walked past the canterlot high statue looking at her own reflection for a short amount of time she noticed no one was near her. ''The great and powerful Trixie will succeed at getting closer to Twilight Sparkle she deserves it for she is the greatest girl who has ever lived!'' She looked and felt proud of herself as she continued walking towards the entrance of the school. She entered the school as she was ready to go to her class. She went over the classes she had today; Music , Art , History , English , Maths and P.E. Trixie didn't have classes with Twilight just two and those were science and P.E. The thought of getting two opportunities to get closer to Twilight made her feel very exited and one thing was sure she wouldn't fail if anyone was going to get Twilight it was her and not that nobody Flash Sentry. Trixie followed her classes the rest of the day it wasn't that she didn't enjoy them. They were just more boring because she knew Twilight was giving her a shot and that would be the real price of the day. It felt like centuries past by before the bell for lunch would ring. 'These classes are wasting shine time of the great Trixie' She thought to herself rolling her eyes of annoyance. Sure Twilight would pay attention to every single class but then again she's Twilight. Finally after hours which felt like centuries the bell rang. Trixie got off her chair right away in order to get to the cafeteria. She could feel her heart racing it kept beating faster and faster the closer she came to the cafeteria. She entered the cafeteria scanning around for Twilight. It didn't take long before she did Twilight was already sitting there along with her friends. Trixie felt a rush of jealousy inside of her. This was supposed to be her moment and not theirs. She wanted to be alone with Twilight. She had to find away to distract them all five of them. She got an idea as she went to Lightning Dust who sad a few tables away she tapped her shoulder as Lightning Dust turned Trixie her way. ''What do you want Trixie?'' ''Oh nothing. I just wanted to tell you that Rainbow Dash and her friends are back talking about you. Their calling you things like loser and so on. You're not gonna take that are you?'' ''Ow hell no I'm not!'' ''Just make sure you don't tell it's from me I'll deny everything.'' ''Whatever!'' Trixie folded her arms smirking as she watched Lightning Dust getting up to the table of Twilight Sparkle and her friends. A huge argument was taking place not soon after they got up and Rainbow Dash was the most fed up with the accusations as they all left outside Rainbow Dash probably challenged her to something to see who was right. Trixie quickly rushed to Twilight before she could follow her friends she wasn't going to let this chance go to waste not if she could do something about it. ''Twilight Sparkle.'' ''Oh hi Trixie...I'm so sorry but I'm afraid I have to go with my friends before Rainbow might do something she'll regret.'' ''Oh I'm sure they'll be fine we would have lunch together wouldn't we?'' ''I know and I'm sorry but I have to stop this before there will be blood spilled.'' Twilight ran outside to follow her friends as Trixie was left alone. She felt mad how could Twilight just leave her like that? They'd have lunch together! How could she! Trixie refused to sit down but when she stopped for a moment to think she realized it was her jealousy to cause all of this. If she wanted to have lunch with Twilight she had to set this right. But how? If Twilight knew Trixie set all of this up she'd probably wouldn't even want to have lunch with her. She ran outside as Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash were about to have a brawl as Trixie stepped into the middle of them just in time. There were a lot of people watching. ''Stop it you two!'' ''Hey what do you think you're doing?!'' Rainbow shouted. ''Stopping this brawl you two can also just shake hands and forget this ever happened can't you? After all like Twilight taught us we're all wondercolts. And deep inside we're just like one another.'' There was a silence everyone was surprised to hear Trixie say this. From all the people at Canterlot high it was Trixie not only that but without Trixie noticing she had already ponied up. Her tail was shining and flowing and her pretty blue pony ears also came out. Everyone cheered for Trixie as they all were proud of the action she just did. Trixie was confused until she realized everything that she just did and what just happend. ''How could this surprise any of you? After all I'm the Great and Powerful Trixie!'' They started chanting 'the great and powerful Trixie' for a while until everyone calmed down returning to the cafeteria. So did Trixie as Twilight came to walk next to her smiling. ''I'm very proud of what you just did there Trixie. I didn't expect you too follow my advice of this morning just like that. Guess you really are great. I hope we can be friends now too?'' ''Ofcourse who wouldn't want to be friends with me?'' The both of them laughed a little. As they went back to the cafeteria to sit down even though Trixie still was jealous about the fact she had to sure Twilight she would keep her calm and surprisingly the conversation was a lot of fun. The conversation did get interesting when Rainbow Dash asked a question to Trixie , Rarity and Twilight Sparkle. ''So are any of you unicorns going to enter the talent show?'' Rainbow Dash asked she seemed quite hyped up about it. ''Oh I wish I could Rainbow Dash but I already have my hands full with another contest.'' Rarity said with a kind smile Trixie was puzzled by all of this. What talent show? She didn't hear of any kind of talent show until just now she wanted to know more. ''What do you mean talent show?'' She asked straightforward as Rainbow Dash rose an eye brow. ''Seriously you don't know? You who calls herself so great doesn't even know there's a talent show going on?'' ''Darling let her be not all of us are as contest driven as you. Trixie there's a talent show in two weeks where you get to show off what you can do during your pony up. I heard Twilight is already entering.'' Trixie was stunned. When she heard about the talent show she was sure about entering. She wanted to win after all she indeed was great at performing a nice magic show but she had to compete against Twilight? She was one of the few unicorns who ponied up that actually got a horn unlike Trixie. Even though she knew she'd probably would lose against Twilight she refused to either give up or give in. She rose her nose up. ''Hmpf so? The Great and Powerful Trixie surely is able to win no matter who she's up against.'' She looked quite confident in herself while eating her peanut butter jelly crackers. As Twilight looked at Trixie rather curious. ''Well you did tell me you're great at magic Trixie I'm sure you'll get your horn sooner or later.'' ''I could get my horn in a second if I really wanted to!'' ''Yeah but I was wondering since we're friends now maybe you'd like to join together as a team? We always got an A+ at the projects we do together.'' Trixie couldn't believe what she just heard. The girl she had a crush on wanted to work together with her in the talent show? This day couldn't get any better. After all these times having small talks they were finally starting to get closer together. Trixie smiled and nodded. ''Sure if you're able to keep up that is.'' ''I'm sure I will.'' The lunch was over as each one of them walked to their classes. As Trixie felt better then ever as she was already blushing about the many moments she would have alone with Twilight but she knew she could do it. She was Trixie after all. The rest of the day flew by as when Trixie walked to the bus after P.E. They decided that they'd sit next to each other to discuss when they would practice their act for the talent show. They decided it to be after school on Friday. Trixie felt proud of herself as the next days were great she kept bonding with Twilight and they saw each other each and everyday. Trixie really started to feel more at ease around Twilight her presence every time. They laughed together and sat next to each other in the bus from time to time. And the emotions inside of Trixie only grew stronger for Twilight. After a couple of days it was friday already. Trixie kept smiling the entire day she was filled with excitement she felt like she had become a complete lunatic and something inside her said that Twilight could feel the same way about her. Twilight and her had decided to practice for the talent show behind the school building. Trixie walked over there as Twilight hand't arrived yet. Trixie waited for her and she would be lying if she was saying she was a little worried after all Twilight was the person that would put perfection into every detail and every appointment it would be too unusual for her to be late. Trixie folded her arms getting rather fed up with waiting. ''Where is she! She was supposed to be here 15 minutes ago!'' She mumbled to herself. Not soon after she said that she saw Twilight running her way she was quite out of breath from running. ''I'm so sorry Pinkie Pie kept stalling and stalling since she wanted me to describe every single detail of my opinion on her new cake and there was no ending to it! But I'm here now so got any ideas.'' ''Be sure not to be late next time!'' ''I said I'm sorry!'' They frowned at one another for a while but soon shook off that feeling they were friends now after all. They sat down on the grass to think about any ideas for the talent show. ''We could do magic trics. Since you're very good at those and add me to the mix the trics will turn into spectacular miracles.'' ''Are you insisting my trics aren't worthy of being called miracles?'' ''No! That's not what I meant at all. I mean if we work together the outcome is going to be even better don't you think?'' ''I suppose so. Well let's pony up and perform some spells shall we?'' Twilight nodded as both of them closed their eyes and ponied up to their respective pony up form as Twilight her horn was absolutely stunning. Trixie stared at it for a while she had never seen Twilight her horn up close it was even greater then she expected it to be. ''Trixie! Trixie?'' ''Did you say something Twilight?'' ''I asked if you would like the idea of having instead of a bunny jump out of the hat we'll summon a fenix out of the hat'' Trixie her mouth fell open. Twilight could do things like that. ''But that's high quality magic how will you be able to pull that off?'' ''Oh not alone I'll guide you trough it to help me if you have any suggestions just say so.'' ''No it's fine I'll learn those spells in one day.'' ''Well that would be great.'' Twilight smiled as Trixie smirked but on the inside she was extremely nervous. Really summoning a fenix out of a hat? That's not something you do every day. But then again she truly wanted to win and show everyone how great she was. And she was sure that with Twilight her help everything would turn out great. They practiced their magic for hours and hours as at the end of the day it still didn't work. ''We'll never be able to pull this off....'' Trixie said while she let her sit on the grass as Twilight came to sit next to her with a reassuring kind look on her face. ''We will really this spell is really difficult it will take some days but I'm sure that if we keep practicing we'll pull it off...but we can't win the talent show with just one spell even though it's that high.'' ''We could do some tricks of mine around it to make it look appealing to the audience'' Trixie said as Twilight smiled. Seeing that smile made Trixie happy every time especially if it was because something she said. ''That's a great idea Trixie!'' Trixie felt happy. It was already sunset it was time for them to go home but she wanted to make this moment ever lasting doing something here what Twilight would never forget. The weather was nice the wind flew trough both of their hair as Trixie saw how Twilight watched the sunset as it took her a few seconds to realize that they were watching the sunset together. Trixie decided to just take the shot she moved closer to Twilight used her hand to draw her face near hers as Trixie pressed her lips against those of Twilight. There as the sun was setting Trixie kissed Twilight on the lips. Trixie backed off after a while as there was a silence between the both of them Trixie thought it was a good sign until Twilight slowly got up. ''Uhmmm Trixie I think I have to go let's practice again tomorrow after school?'' Before Trixie could answer Twilight had already left. What had she done? Did she do it too soon? She hadn't even asked if Twilight even liked girls. Trixie didn't really feel mad at herself she was just confused Twilight said she had to go but she didn't push Trixie away or got mad she even told her to come her back again tomorrow. What did all of this mean? Would it change their friendship? Would they just be like project partners again? Trixie couldn't answer any of these questions herself. She guessed time would tell. The next week Trixie felt some sort of distance between her and Twilight they still did what they always did. But the fact Twilight didn't mention anything about the kiss was odd to her did Twilight just not care or did she decide to pretend it never happened? Even at practice Twilight would leave right after they were finished. A few days later it was Thursday one day before the talent show. Trixie was tired of waiting for Twilight to bring it up today after practice she wouldn't let Twilight leave she would be straightforward to Twilight and confront her how she felt. This couldn't go on forever and Trixie knew that. After school they had practice as usual as when they were finished Twilight got up to leave again as Trixie got up and looked right into Twilight her eyes. ''Twilight Sparkle. We need to talk.'' She said in a serious voice. Twilight turned around and did a sigh. ''You want to talk about the kiss don't you Trixie?'' ''Yes! The great and powerful Trixie indeed does Twilight Sparkle! And I'm not going to twist around the subject I'll say it right to you. I love you Twilight Sparkle and I would appreciate it if you atleast would give me an answer!'' Twilight looked at her. ''I'll give you your answer tomorrow at the talent show Trixie.'' ''I don't mind waiting an extra day. See you at the talent show Sparkle.'' They exchanged a serious look with one another as both of them went separate ways. Trixie decided to walk home as Twilight would take the bus. Tomorrow Trixie would get her answer but that wasn't the only thing that was on her mind right now. She would win the talent show and she would give it everything she had even if it mean going beyond her limits. The next day arrived sooner then expected. The school was beautifully decorated as everyone was looking forward to it. Trixie got herself ready in the dressing room she wore an elegant and classy dress as she closed her eyes and ponied up already just in case. She left the dressing room and went backstage waiting for Twilight this time she did came on time. Exactly on time like really the exact minute and exact second she was supposed to be there. Twilight went to stand next to Trixie. ''You better don't ruin this for me Twilight'' ''I would never do that Trixie we're a team and we are going to work together.'' Act by act passed by. Trixie thought each one of them was a total flop after all she would be the shining star. Twilight also ponied up as their names were called on stage as Trixie and Twilight nodded one another as they walked upon the stage. There was a big crowd that cheered them on as Twilight smiled at them. ''It's so good to see all of you! Trixie and I are going to perform a magic act for all of you.'' There was a lot of cheering and a lot of hype. Twilight was the most popular in school after all. Twilight and Trixie started by doing some basic magic tricks to appeal to the audience as after every spell they rose the stakes. From going to some firework to flying pink and blue colored fire balls the crowd was already completely amazed but then it was time for their final act the fenix out of the hat. Twilight made a rather big hat appear. ''For this act the great and powerful Trixie will summon a fenix with the help Twilight Sparkle.'' They concentrated they practiced this spell for so long yet they weren't able to pull it off even once. But Trixie was so determined to win she wasn't going to give up not now. Not after all the practice she went trough. The top of her head started glowing as she closed her eyes there was a lot of pressure on her body but all of sudden all the pressure left she didn't know why until she opened her eyes as they widened right away. Twilight Sparkle was kissing her. Twilight Sparkle was kissing her! Trixie her face flushed red as she felt a sparkle inside of her and she got a sharp horn appearing at the top of her head as a beautiful blue fenix flew out of the hat as Twilight had stopped kissing Trixie as both turned their faces to the crowd. They were cheering more loud then both of them had ever heard. And it was quite obvious they would be the winner of the talent show but Trixie felt truly happy about the answer she had received from Twilight. They were together now.
