Dying. Funny thing, that. It never happens how you expect it.

This story is a direct sequel to Trixie's Return.

It's been two weeks since the party, but neither Twilight nor Trixie have the courage to talk about the kiss. As they begin thinking of each other in a new light, things only seem to be getting more awkward between them. Will they come to terms with their feelings for each other, or does this threaten to decimate their still-young friendship?

As long as this doesn't turn into a TwiDash story. I wonder how long before Spike has had enough and gets these two to 'kiss and make up?' I wonder how many of Twilight's other friends know about the tension between her and Trixie and why?
In any case, I'm glad the sequel is up.

please don't let this story turn into a TwiDash story and i am also glad the sequel is up too

3849415 Both of those questions will definitely be answered. :raritywink:


3849439 Never! This is a definite Twixie story. The TwiDash was in Trixie's head, though when I was still considering what I would do with this sequel, I had the idea to have RD and Twi be ex-marefriends. I'd even have a spin-off TwiDash story that ultimately doesn't work out, but I decided against it and went for Trixie just being the jealous type instead.

In my head, they went from: :rainbowkiss: :heart: :twilightblush: :heart: :trixieshiftleft:

To: :rainbowhuh: :twilightsheepish: :heart: :trixieshiftright:

...if that makes sense.

I agree. I would love to see those two in those outfits as well. So, how long before these two open up and officially become a couple?:rainbowkiss:

3854327 Spoilers! :raritywink:

Probably at the end of the next chapter.

>>LightningBass94 Is it a bad sign if I imagine you saying that as or with the voice of Melody Pond aka River Song? Oh btw I like your story.

3854867 Oh it was meant to be in her voice. :ajsmug:

Thanks for the compliment on the story. This one keeps getting dislikes today. I just don't know what went wrong! :derpyderp2: Seriously though, I'm glad you're enjoying it. :rainbowkiss:

this is such a good story i wish i could give it more likes

That final spell. Wow, just...wow. Trixie, the Mistress of Illusion. Has a nice ring to it. Now, it seems that Luna may have found a student. That would suck after Twilight and Trixie finally admitted they love each other. I would hate for Trixie to have to move to Canterlot.

3860666 Who said anything about Trixie moving? :raritywink:

It was a fairly simple spell for a unicorn of her caliber, especially for one with a special talent in illusion magic such as herself.

Ah'm not sure whether ah should be pointin' out that manipulating fire is not an illusion, or that flat none of the spells Trixie has ever been seen castin' were illusions.

3849490
...wait, that last one implies...

...threesome?

3868740 No, but I'm not denying that that would be hot. Lol.

3868738 The fire manipulation is fake. It never left the fireplace, but when her concentration breaks, it does explode within the fireplace. That's why all the singe marks are around the fireplace and not on the ceiling and all the books and such.

I hope Spike was somewhere else or this might be awkward.

3870754 No, it would be awkward if they walked in on Spike and Sweetie Belle using the aforementioned bed. :pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

As Tucker of RvB fame would say,

BOW CHICKA WOW WOW!


But seriously, great story. Liked/faved!

3871099 Lol. Thanks.

3871044 Lol. That would be awkward, and also upsetting for Button Mash. xD Now maybe Applebloom...

3869333
Okay, but this is still a pet peeve a' mine. Trixie... is not an illusionist. Ah don't know where people keep gettin' the idea that she's an illusionist. In canon, Trixie has a huge variety a' spells an' only a slim few a' those might have been illusions; in her two episodes, she was seen ta cast exactly one spell that would definitely class as an illusion, an' that was only providin' exposition.

I just hope Twilight and Trixie don't get interrupted. After all, Luna did say her first lesson will begin shortly. Or is Luna going to be patiently waiting for Trixie to fall asleep to begin (that will also be awkward.):twilightblush::trixieshiftright:

3872776 It's just my own headcannon, man. For the purposes of this story, she is one, and so is Luna. The stars are painted on the sky by a massive illusion spell. I wanted to do something different with her character and attempt to make her more three-dimensional. I just don't think I could do that while her special talent is being second best to Twilight. She being an illusionist gives me a large amount of spells that could easily entertain without causing harm, making it much easier to write performances for a reformed Trixie, and the Spectrum of Emotion spell was an idea that suddenly struck me when I read one of Philosopher1's stories in which she casted a type of mirror spell that made her look like whomever looked at her, but only to that pony. In some ways, his story set my ideas for her magic in motion. I just like the idea better. Also, there's no way with illusion spells that you could tell if she was doing something to you for real or not. She could have made everyone think, see, and feel that she hogtied applejack, turned Rarity's hair green, spun RD around and anything else she did without actually doing any of it. That, of course, wouldn't have made them any less angry at her. As for her second episode, that amulet gave her the powers of an alicorn. She could do any type of magic, arcana and defensive magic included, at it's maximim potential. That, to me, is how it fits into canon. That's how I justify it being in my writing, anyway. I know it's a stretch, but it works.

3872977 Stop knowing exactly what I'm going to do! Lol.

I feel like this fic is getting less and less popular. :rainbowlaugh: :fluttershysad:

3881136 but it's so good

those that don't like it can go stay in their corner, while we have our amazing corner where this story is

3881286 Lol. Thanks. I've just noticed a decrease in views, likes and faves with every chapter. Maybe it's because it's a sequel?

3881136 Maybe it's 'cause you don't focus as much on the Twixie aspect of this story as some would like? Maybe they dont like Trixie becoming the student of Luna? I fo one still like this story.

3881303 Thanks. :twilightsmile: I'm glad to hear that my fans of the original are still enjoying the sequel. There are 4 of you that comment at least. Lol. :rainbowkiss:

Does anyone think I'm doing a bit too much with Luna's Olde English? (Equestrian?) Should I tone it down?

"I'm glad that worked. Those would have been horrible last words!"

The way it was written I couldn't tell whether it was Trixie or Luna that said it.
And it seems Trixie has learned a lot for her first lesson. On to daily life.

3881691 Well she was meant to be catching on more and more, with Discord being the easiest, justbecause she knew what types of things pissed him off. xD As far as that sentence, I have a link for you.

Also, I always start a new paragraph when another pony talks, no matter how short it is.

Please sir can I have some more

3885530 Lol. Working on it. :P Not sure what I want to do with the next chapter yet. :derpytongue2:

Most notably, she spotted two musicians: Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Philarmonica

It's Octavia Melody, actually.

"Bed. Now."

You mean the bed right next to Spike's basket? This had better be heading for a threesome.

I really liked this. Even AJ's reaction was spot on. Keep up the good work. Question though:

Implied SpikexApplebloom?

Where?

3890766 Lol. Thanks. :pinkiehappy: The implication was very tiny. It was in the fact that he stayed at Sweet Apple Acres. I guess that doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it does to me. xD I didn't say he had a sleepover with the CMC or Button Mash. :rainbowwild:

3890781 True. However, a number of things could have been implied. My first thought was a CMC sleepover. Hell, he could have been with Applejack for all I know.
:applejackconfused:: Say what now?

3890795 Lol. That's true. :rainbowlaugh: ...I'll just have to make it more obvious. :pinkiecrazy:

Actually, a one shot of them taking place during the night of the performance wouldn't be a bad idea! :pinkiegasp:

Anyone have any ideas what I should call this universe? :trixieshiftright: I have several stories planned out in my head that are meant to go along with this continuity. :rainbowwild: Suggestions appreciated. :pinkiehappy:

Okay dude, I've gotta give you props. When I read the line "NOW THINE NIGHTMARE COMES TO LIFE" I immediately played Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold on my comp.

3894811 Haha! Some one finally got it before the link! YES! :rainbowdetermined2: :moustache:

703 words into the next chapter and not anywhere near done. This may be another one over 2,000! :pinkiegasp: :pinkiehappy:

While I like most of this chapter, I felt that Trixie's last spell here was a bit ineffective in the story. It doesn't really sound like a good finale (it's way to slow for that) and it seems to add in some very forced and expositional background pieces to Trixie's character. It works, to a degree, but it feels out of place and ineffective.

The thing with Luna's Olde speak is that it feels super hokey. A few Thous and Thines don't make it olde English (or equestrian as it may or not be), it's an entire way of communicating. Royalty especially tend to talk flowery and subtly, packing as much meaning and poetry into a single sentence as possible. Matter of fact, I've seen that as late as turn of the century 1800 and 1900s in the aristocracy. Try getting some weird and antique words and phrases for her to use, formal it up heavily, and make it as much poetry as it is prose. That should make it sound better.

I've never understood the practice of writing characters so that they all immediately comment on their friends sexuality (whether in a positive or negative way) the instant said friends announce a relationship. It feels unnatural and out of character whenever I see it. I can see it as a future issue or even one that comes up with a little prodding, but not someone just saying their view outright that moment.

3899020 Thanks. I'll put my vocabulary to work next time I write her in. :pinkiehappy:
