Twilight slumped through the front doors of CHS. Not even the prospect of another week of school could lift her spirits. After Trixie's departure, the slumber party became a lot more somber and the girls went to bed a lot earlier than they usually would. When Twilight returned home the next morning, she told her family that she had a lot of studying to do and locked herself in her room for almost the entire weekend.
Thankfully, things were still awkward enough between Twilight and her mother so that Twilight was left mostly alone to sulk. It also seemed as if her mother hadn't told Twilight's father or her brother about their conversation, which gave Twilight some relief in an otherwise gloomy time. She didn't even spend time with her friends who tried texting and calling to see how she was doing. Twilight only answered each attempt with short, simple responses.
Now Twilight slowly made her way to her locker, dreading seeing the moment she would see Trixie. Or even worse, not seeing her at all! Twilight feared that Trixie just wouldn't come to school today because of what happened. The young scientist contemplated, even though the rational side of her brain argued against it, that Trixie might never come back to school and may have even transferred.
With a heavy sigh, Twilight opened her locker door and got her books and papers in order. Zipping up her backpack, Twilight was about to close her locker when it suddenly slammed shut on her. Blinking a few times before she realized that there was a blue hand pressed on her locker door, Twilight followed the hoodie clad arm attached to it and saw Trixie standing next to her wearing a predatory grin.
“Trixie!?” Twilight gasped as she fumbled, almost dropping her bag.
“The Great and Powerful,” Trixie answered, adjusting herself so that she was leaning on the lockers with one arm while the other rested on her hip.
“I-I-I... what? Why?” Twilight stammered.
“What do you mean,” Trixie traded her grin for a curious pout while batting her eyelashes.
Twilight's brain had to do a hard reset before she could comprehend what was happening and reply. “Why are you here?”
“Well,” Trixie started with a smirk,” Trixie thought she'd stop by for a fresh baked tart.”
“B-but I don't have any t-tarts,” Twilight responded, befuddled by what Trixie was talking about, let alone why she was talking to her in the first place.
“Oh,” Trixie pretended to be disappointed for a second before her smirk returned two fold, “I guess I'll have to settle for something else hot and juicy.”
Twilight could see that Trixie was eyeing her body and began to blush fiercely as she subconsciously tried to cover herself. “W-what do you mean?”
Trixie giggled as she pushed off of the lockers. “Don't worry Sparkle, you'll find out soon enough. Unfortunately, there isn't enough time right now. See ya around, Sparkle.”
Trixie strode past Twilight just as the purple girl snapped out of her stupor. Twilight was about to spin around to continue questioning Trixie further, but was stopped by a loud slapping sound followed by a sudden stinging sensation on her rear end. Twilight could only stare blankly ahead as her mind slowly registered that Trixie had just spanked her. When she regained her senses for the second time, Twilight's face turned completely red as she grabbed the offended area.
“Did she just? Why would she? What just happened!?”
The young scientist spun around to see a wisp of silver hair disappear around the corner. Twilight then scanned the rest of the hallway and was relieved to find that there was no one else to witness what happened. After confirming that she was alone, Twilight, her face still ablaze, leaned against the lockers and slid so that she was seated on the floor. Many emotions swirled in her head as Twilight tried to understand why Trixie acted the way she did. She mostly felt confusion, but embarrassment was also prevalent. Also, Twilight had to admit she even felt a little giddy. However, Twilight couldn't contemplated for long when she heard a familiar voice calling her name.
“Twilight? Darling? Are you alright?”
Twilight looked up and saw Rarity standing over her with a concerned face. “Rarity?”
“You look flushed, dear. Are you feeling alright?” Rarity asked.
“Oh, um, y-yes, I'm fine,” Twilight answered as she smiled nervously.
“Then may I ask why you are sitting down in the hallway? Do you know filthy these floor are?” Rarity questioned with a disgusted look.
“Ah, right,” Twilight scrambled to her feet and dusted herself off,” I was just lost in thought.”
Rarity gave her friend a curious look, but replaced it with a sympathetic smile shortly after. “Still upset about the party?”
Twilight was about to tell Rarity about her interaction with Trixie, but stopped herself. She already felt her cheeks getting warm just by thinking about it and decided that there was no way she could talk about it without fainting in embarrassment. She hated to lie to her friend, but even if she felt comfortable talking, she knew Rarity would ask for every little detail.
“Uh, yeah,” Twilight nodded as she tried to calm herself down.
Rarity gave Twilight a small hug. “Don't worry too much, dear. I'm sure this whole fiasco will get sorted out soon enough.”
“Y-your probably right,” Twilight nodded with a strained smile.
“Why, I'm sure that the next time you see Trixie, she won't be nearly as mad,” Rarity offered.
“I don't doubt you on that,” Twilight agreed.
The two girls shared few words after that as they headed to there history class. Twilight tried to focus on her school work, but her mind couldn't keep away from her morning with Trixie. She even had to hide her face in her books a few times to make sure that no one saw her blushing. By the end of the period, Rarity was beginning to suspect that there was something more to how Twilight was acting then the purple girl was saying. However, she didn't have any time to press before the bell rang and Twilight nearly ran out the door with a hasty goodbye.
Rarity shrugged it off, though. Twilight was already a bit odd and she had been under a lot of stress lately, so Rarity thought nothing of it. The fashionista hoped that things would turn around for Twilight as she went off to her next class. Second period was uneventful for Rarity, who was happy to finally go to lunch once the period ended. The ivory girl strode into the cafeteria and towards her usual table, where her friends were already sitting. As she approached, she could tell that Rainbow Dash and Applejack were in some sort of argument.
“Why do I have to be up to something?” Rainbow asked.
“Cause you've been acting smug all day, but haven't boasted about anything once,” Applejack retorted. “Ya only do that when you're planning a prank or got away with doing something wrong.”
“Jeez, don't you have any faith in me?” Rainbow pretended to look hurt.
“Not at all,” Applejack answered without hesitating.
Rainbow scrunched up her face before replying. “Well for your information, I actually did something totally awesome and I'm proud of myself.”
“Then what did ya do?” Applejack pressed.
“Can't say,” Rainbow smiled smugly as she turned up her nose.
“My, Rainbow,” Rarity started as she sat down, “you can't really blame Applejack when you act like that.”
“Why? Aren't I allowed to have secrets?” Rainbow protested.
“No,” Rarity replied immediately.
“Why not?” Rainbow asked.
“Because of your history,” Rarity explained.
“She has a point, Rainbow,” Fluttershy meekly stated while Pinkie Pie giggled.
“Hey! I actually did something good! And you all are going to feel bad for accusing when you find out,” Rainbow proclaimed.
“Hey Rainbow,” Sunset asked with a tired look, “do you mind not pulling a prank right now? I still feel like crap because of what happened. I don't want to deal with your shenanigans as well.”
“It's not a prank!” Rainbow defended. “And you're not going to feel like crap for long.”
“Oh yeah?” Sunset had a sceptical look on her face. “And why's that?”
“Ahem.”
All six girls turned to look at Trixie, who was standing at the end with her hands behind her back and a remorseful expression. The Rainbooms all stuttered and began a stream of questions while Rainbow leaned back with her arms behind her head. No one could be heard over the others and they only stopped when Trixie rose her hand.
“Trixie is here to apologize. She overreacted and jumped to conclusions when she had little information. Trixie regrets her actions and hopes that you can find it in your hearts to forgive her.”
“Well of course we forgive you, silly!” Pinkie jumped up from her seat and wrapped her arms around the magician. “I'm just glad we can still call you friend!”
“That's great to hear,” Rarity gushed, excited for Twilight to find out. “Why don't you sit with us?”
The other girls agreed and expressed their happiness and forgiveness as well as Trixie sat in an available space in the middle of the table.
“So what made ya come around there Trix?” Applejack asked.
“Actually, Trixie had a run in with Rainbow over the weekend and after a short talk we worked everything out,” Trixie explained.
“Shucks RD, was that what you were hiding from us,” Applejack asked.
“Bet you feel like a jerk now,” Rainbow smirked.
“You're right. I shouldn't have been so suspicious,” Applejack admitted. “I should trust you more.”
Applejack grabbed her apple juice and poked her straw into it, only to have it burst open and spray her with it's contents. The cowgirl glared at the only girl who would rig her drink like that.
Rainbow started to laugh. “No you shouldn't.”
The two girls started bickering again while Trixie got Pinkie's attention. “Hey, Trixie couldn't help but notice that Sparkle isn't around.”
“Yeah, she's usually late to lunch because she has gym second period and she likes to wait and shower alone after all the other girls leave,” Pinkie explained.
“Oh, really?” Trixie rose an eyebrow and fought the urge to smirk deviously.
“Ah, there she is,” Rarity said as she started waving. “Twilight, you'll never guess who decided to join us for lunch.”
“Hi Rari-” Twilight froze when she spotted Trixie smiling at her smugly while her friends were focused on greeting her.
“I know, we were surprised to see her too!” Pinkie exclaimed.
“Everything's settled now,” Sunset added with a smile. “Isn't that great?”
“Um... yeah,” Twilight smiled meekly as the morning events rushed back into her mind.
“Well are you going to stand there all day or are you going to sit with us?” Rainbow asked.
“Oh, right,” Twilight laughed nervously as she looked to see where she could sit.
However, the only open spot at the table was directly across from Trixie. Twilight tried to calm herself as she sat down and looked up to see Trixie pouting with her eyes watering. Taken off guard, Twilight almost fell off her seat, but steadied herself in time.
“Trixie is really sorry for how she acted. Trixie shouldn't jump to conclusions like that,” Trixie whimpered. “Do you think you could forgive her?”
“Of c-course,” Twilight stuttered, unsure of how he should react.
“Great!” Trixie said as she switched to a happy demeanour immediately. “Trixie is glad were friends again.”
Twilight was shocked at how quickly Trixie's attitude changed, but then reminded herself that the girl was a performer. Twilight then considered confronting Trixie about what happened, but she decided against it, knowing her friends would start asking questions she didn't want to answer. Twilight continued internally debating with her self when she felt something on her ankle. Startled, Twilight realized it felt like a foot and looked at Trixie, who was staring right at her with her elbows on the table and her head in her hands. Trixie's smile grew and she winked as the foot starting moving up and down the inside of Twilight's leg.
“So Twilight, Coco said that the costumes were just fantastic and that she would love to have you as a model again,” Rarity turned to speak to the purple girl.
Twilight, however, was too stunned to respond as Trixie's foot kept getting higher and higher, now teasing the edges of her skirt. Although, before her silence became suspicious, Trixie piped in.
“Oh, Twilight was a model?”
“Yes. We had a mild crisis for the school play and Twilight helped us by trying on each costume,” Rarity explained.
“Really? Trixie would love to help next time as well. After all, she does know a thing or two about performing,” Trixie boasted.
The two continued to talk, as did the rest of the table, all unaware of what was happening to Twilight underneath. Trixie was already well under her skirt and was tracing circles on her inner thigh while still moving further along Twilight's leg. The young scientist was now sweating as her face was heating up. Her breathing became rapid and she stared to shake. She wanted to say something, but she was too embarrassed and some part of her even wanted Trixie to keep going. Trixie just grazed the edge of her underwear when Applejack grabbed her shoulder.
“Hey Twi, you alright,” Apple asked as Trixie took her foot away.
“Huh?” Twilight grunted before she faked a cough and smiled awkwardly. “Yeah, I'm fine.”
Applejack leaned close to whisper. “You that nervous about talking to Trixie again?”
“You could say that,” Twilight whispered back as she crossed her legs.
“Don't sweat it, sugar cube. The way ah see it, you have a better chance with her than ever before,” Applejack encouraged as she gave a thumbs up.
Twilight could only nod, still trying to calm herself down. Lunch went by quickly as the girls chatted, Trixie almost seamlessly blending into the Rainbooms and the conversation. By the time the bell rang, Twilight managed to start acting normal, although she was very weary of Trixie and kept an eye on her.
“Man, lunch is over already?” Rainbow whined. “I don't want to go back to class.”
“It's not that bad, Rainbow,” Twilight offered. “Science can be fun!”
“Pfft, nerd,” Rainbow scoffed as she got up.
Twilight frowned as she gathered her things and headed after Rainbow, followed by Fluttershy and Trixie. After saying their farewells to their friends, the four girls left the cafeteria and started towards their next class. Fluttershy scurried to catch up with Rainbow as Twilight walked behind them. Trixie sauntered up next to Twilight, wearing the same smug grin Twilight has seen on her all day. Twilight said nothing and tried to ignore the girl beside her, but her efforts were thwarted when she felt Trixie's hot breath next to her ear.
“You know,” Trixie whispered, “Trixie thinks nerds are sexy.”
Rainbow and Fluttershy spun around when they heard a crash and found Twilight lying face first on the ground.
“Holy crap, Twi!” Rainbow exclaimed.
“Are you okay?” Fluttershy asked.
Twilight picked herself up and brushed herself off. “Yeah, I just tripped.”
Twilight could see that Trixie was covering her mouth with one hand, making it like like she was concerned, but Twilight could see that she was trying to suppress a giggle. After Twilight assured her friends that she was fine, the girls continues on their way, although now Twilight was blushing with embarrassment.
“Are you sure it doesn't hurt?” Fluttershy asked again.
“It does a little, but I'll be fine,” Twilight replied as she rubbed her nose.
Unfortunately for Twilight, Trixie leaned towards her once more. “Want Trixie to kiss it better?”
After hearing another crash, Rainbow and Fluttershy turned to see Twilight on the floor again.
When the girls finally arrived to class, Twilight looked like a mess. She was grateful to see Trixie sit at the back of the room. Twilight was about to sit up front with her friends when Rainbow grabbed her.
“What are you doing?” Rainbow asked.
“Trying to sit down?” Twilight responded, confused.
“Come on Twi, I know this weekend was weird, but it's all good now. Here's your chance to get some one on one time with Trixie.”
“I really don't think I'll need it,” Twilight tried to emphasize her point, but Rainbow completely missed the message.
“This is no time to wimp out,” Rainbow pressed as she shoved Twilight to the back of the class.
Twilight reluctantly sat next to Trixie, who replaced her grin with an innocent smile.
“So Twilight-” Trixie started, but was cut off by Twilight.
“Please Trixie, can we just focus on class,” Twilight pleaded.
“Oh, of course,” Trixie agreed. “In fact, Trixie was hoping you could help me with a subject in science she's been struggling with.”
Twilight relaxed. She would love to help Trixie, especially in a topic she loved. Twilight was glad to finally be back in her comfort zone.
“What subject?” Twilight asked happily.
“Anatomy,” Trixie replied as she slowly shifted back to a grin.
“Anatomy? Well, I'd be happy to help in any way I can,” Twilight offered.
“That's great,” Trixie purred, “because Trixie finds that she's a hands on learner.”
Twilight felt Trixie's hand on her thigh and could feel her heart flutter and sink at the same time. She didn't think Trixie was going to be done anytime soon.
