Greetings, I am Merlos the Mad. I am a dabbler of both words and wizardry in my free time. I also invite you all to partake in my musings. Take care though, as they are the product of a madman.

There are few rivalries as anti-climactic as the one that exists between Twilight and Trixie, two mares from very far-flung backgrounds. At least, the rivalry exists in Trixie's mind, whereas with Twilight, she just wishes she could get even just a month of being Trixie-free! Now, Trixie has shown up yet again, leaving Twilight to wonder what she could possibly be intruding for this time.


Author's Note

Hello, folks, and welcome. If you're in the mood for some good old fashioned Trixie and Twilight rivalry, then this is for you. This story does ignore that silly event with Trixie begging for forgiveness. Trixie does not beg! She is the Great and Powerful! Right? And she is finally going to get her revenge on Twilight Sparkle... Probably.

So, this one is just for silly fun. And honestly I've been poking at this story for a long time. Easily since I started writing in 2012. It's gone from being a story idea on a long list of ideas, to being half written, to being a full story. I hope you all enjoy!


Artist(s) of the cover art is a frankenstein mix of work from two artists, [redacted]'s Twilight and drewdini's Trixie (and a screencap from the show). Sorry it's so slapdash and amateur! :twilightsheepish:

Hah, that's quite the amusing start. I imagine Twilights' revenge can only further add to the chaos.

What the eatables?!?!

*ding*
And there they go!

This is gonna blow somehow in Trixie´s face. isnt it? By the way nice story, I think that we need more comedic crazy Trixie stories to compensate for the emotional ones so you have made very happy with this one.:pinkiehappy:

A bibliophagy compulsion? Oh, that's just cruel. Definitely looking forward to seeing what comes next.

A silly, funny story. While I'll admit to siding with the "Trixie is over her issues with Twilight already" camp, this was an entertaining read nonetheless. It did help that there was a good deal of back-and-forth instead of just Twilight winning again, and you were putting effort in deepening the characters beyond the bare basics. Trixie felt like she was actually competent and not just a joke, even though she's quite crazy.

I like it. I wouldn't mind reading further stories of this rivalry, having them get back at each other with pranks and spells, trading back and forth who's the 'winner' at the moment, and Twilight realizes she's actually having fun.

Quite so. I would have loved more of that in the show, myself. Due to its absence, I wrote this, to sort of fill the void in my heart. D: Heh, in any case, there's more to come on the horizon.

-Edit I'm a big fan of shows with recurring villains. Pinkie and the Brain comes to mind. Mlp isn't quite in the same vain as that... but sometimes I wish they had some sort of 'short episode' segment or something for such tomfoolery. <.<

Oh, 'Enchantments and Advanced Magical Tampering for the Curious' by Professor Murphy!

Sounds harmless :facehoof:

That Twilight, she just gobbles up those books, doesn't she?:twilightoops:

Merlos you madman, you wrote two ponies I enjoy writing together in one story! :heart:

Discord only wishes he could come up with as devastating a prank on Twilight.

On second thought, Discord probably fishes up equally devastating pranks.
Or maybe he does simply wish for pranks such as these:

After removing his hand and pulling a lamp out of the exposed forearm/sleeve, Discord enters into a huddle with the oddly familiar, legless, floating, blue, broad-shouldered creature, each one occasionally pausing to take a surreptitious glance at Twilight before returning to their whispered conversation.

6003641 You know people/ponies aren't binary. Trixie could be genuinely sorry about the Alicorn Amulet incident for taking things too far and still want to be renowned as the greatest Unicorn Mage in the land by surpassing Twilight. Its just next time she'll have more restraint and sense about doing it. "Winning honestly in a fair contest of magic," is how some people put it.

I liked it, and I'll definitely be looking out for the second chapter. My only real comment is that I wish you had gotten to the action earlier; right now, it's a few hundred words of Twi just putting away books and making comments about them before Trixie busts in, and it drags a bit.

"Ah, I love the smell of fresh parchment in the morning."

Yes, there's nothing like the smell of flayed, dried animal skins. So refreshing. :trollestia:

6004506

Heh, sorry, I probably tried too hard to tantalize folks with the 'goods' so to speak. I'm quite the tease of an author like that. :trixieshiftright:

That plot twist came out so suddenly I can't decide whether this is a redemption story or a pony version of Tom and Jerry, but still great for an prologue. Kinda wish this was longer or the 2nd chapter was up.

In any case, I'm glad to see you back the game ^_^

making Twilight destroy books. Trixie found the one way to make Twilight want to wreck her

Never enough silly Twilight and Trixie shenanigans in my book. Looking forward to how this plays out!

“All right, my pretties! Let’s do this.”

Alright chumbs. Let's do this! TWILIIIIGHT SPARKLLLLLLLLLLEEEEE!

"Twilight Sparkle," an angry, familiar sounding voice hissed out. "It is I, The Great and Powerful Trixie! And it's high time you paid for your crimes!"

:twilightsmile:Oh Trixie! It's so good to see you again! <glomp>

This intrusion was the fourth time for the month, the last one having been in the middle of her friends' monthly tabletop session the night before.
On top of that, it was only the fifth day of the month.

Damn it Trixie.

Typically, the crazy mare would just stay until she was bribed off with lunch, and would often claim that had been her plan all along.

Why not keep her around until dinner if she keeps quiet?

You who have success in everything you do, like some perfect little pony princess or something!"

<cough>MarySue<cough>

"Yes! Now, Sparkle, now you'll feel every ounce of the shame that Trixie has ever felt because of you!"

That's some spell work Trixie.
No matter where their silliness takes them, I hope Twilight's friends think they are seeing each other. I hope someone says "Just kiss her already!"

Looks like Twilight is eating her words.... I mean other ponies' words.

"It's a public library, Trixie. Of course you got in. Now what are you doing? And haven't you ever heard of knocking?"

CONTRADICTION! If it's a public library, why does she have to knock?

"Those books are overdue, Trixie."

You should run, Trixie. Run really fast. Twilight doesn't like overdue books. Not. A. Bit. The Last TIme someone had a overdue book, she turned him into a cactus.
[](/twicrazy)

A blue spot in that blur bobbed up and down

I would have loved a body-swap :pinkiehappy: But I don't need it....

[...] she again stuffed the book in her mouth.

TWILIGHT'S WORST NIGHTMARE: SHE HAS TO EAT HER OWN .... BOOKS. If you expected anything else... just use your imagination...

Congrats, you found my joke. ^^ Although I think the old saying goes, if you need to point out a joke, then there is no joke. <.<

Liking the story so far, and that's certainly a unique way for Trixie to exact her revenge! :rainbowlaugh:

A few minor quibbles:

Trixie merely seemed to studied her, not wearing any emotion or discernible mood on her muzzle.

study

"I guess I wouldn’t know, Trixie," Twilight said slowly, and rested a hoof on Trixie's shoulder. "But maybe we could figure it out together, if you'd accept my help?"

Trixie wiped the tears in her eyes away fiercely to stare at the hoof on her shoulder. She then looked up and held Twilight's concerned, earnest stare. "Help? You always offer that… Why would accepting pity from you make me feel any better, huh?”

“Trixie.” Twilight rested a hoof on the sobbing unicorn’s shoulder.

Repeat of hoof-on-shoulder? or does she now have hooves on both shoulders? :unsuresweetie:

Repeat of hoof-on-shoulder? or does she now have hooves on both shoulders? :unsuresweetie:

Yyyyyes? :twilightsheepish:

So she needs to consume her reading materials? I can't wait to see Twilight's vengeance spell on Trixie.

This is good. Looking forward to more.

But why does it say this was uploaded in April 2014? It's in the featured box and the oldest comment is from yesterday.

Heh, that's when I first had enough story to publish the chapter. I didn't post/submit the story until a few days ago, however. I wasn't lying when I said I'd been working on this story for 3 years. <.< It's been a side project, of course.

I wish I coukd be a lexivore, I woukd finally have a way to enjoy a good book even after I was done reading it.

And Applejack that one time...

There seems to be an interesting story behind this. XD

And there's a joke here about high fiber diets but I just don't feel I can deliver it properly. XP

6008845

Heh, in my defense I wrote that part in a moving car. :trixieshiftright:

At this point, if I were Twilight, I'd have Trixie jailed after all this is over.

6008893

Twilight somberly approached Princess Celestia. "So, what should be done with her, Princess?"

Princess Celestia calmly stepped down from her throne, ready to pass judgement after a weighty sigh.

I'm definitely loving this. :rainbowlaugh:

This can only end one way :
angry sex :rainbowlaugh:

Exploding spells can only mean one thing. Bad times for ponies, good times for readers.

A pet, hm? How drawl.

Droll.

Are you sure it's not just sexual tension between those two?

This could last forever

6009137 I think it's safe to say we all know it is, but we also all know that the author is going to drag this out as long as possible before sloppy makeout-sessions happen

6009872
6009137

Guys, it's rated E. :ajsmug: I know the general census is these two hate/love each other, but this is a story about rivalry and antics.

I've toyed with the idea of some alternate endings to make everyone happy, though.

I deleted the previous comments, not Merlos. So don't think he did anything bad. That was me.

6009879 hey, I said sloppy make-out sessions, that's still technically Rated E, because you don't even have to say what happens behind the closed doors anyways, you can just leave it ambiguous for the readers to determine, an idea for such is this

And once they returned to the library, the door was shut, the close sign put up and noises could be heard. Nopony to this day knows if it was another fight, or something else altogether, and nopony ever questioned it.....

6010021

Heh, well, I have a less ambiguous ending than that planned, and far more entertaining, I do hope. :ajsmug:


6010016

:duck:

Why do people like writing Trixie as an idiot?

6010055

I couldn't say. I really don't think I've written Trixie as an idiot, though. :trixieshiftright: She's a determined, proud mare, and pride blinds. I like to think that I'm somewhat familiar with the concept in practice.

Well, I do hope you reserve your conclusion on whether you like the direction I took things until the end. :twilightsheepish:
