Bonus #2: Shell-Shocked!
It was beautiful.
It was magnificent.
It was perfection!
It was the glory of all ponykind manifested into a single entity!
It was his reflection.
Truly, Prince Blueblood regretted only one thing about his sheer good fortune to happen across this wondrous apex of creation; that he could never take it with him. "Look at you, my beloved," he uttered, gently tracing a hoof along the edge of the full-length mirror, "so majestic, so incredible, and yet, forever bound in glass." He could, of course, take the mirror with him everywhere, but then he might grow tired carrying it around. Besides, sweating might make a mess of his perfect mane.
It was with a shimmering tear slowly gliding down his cheek that he bid the mirror farewell, but when he finally turned his gaze away, Blueblood was blinded! The sight was so pure, so wonderful, so outstanding, that he knew he must have encountered the only being in existence more beautiful than himself! He took hold of her hoof. "Forgive my caliber, Lady Fairer Than Celestia Herself, but I beg of you with all that I hold dear, will you join me in holy matrimony, and forever be mine to love and to embrace?"
Trixie smiled. "Why of course, My Dear Prince, The Great and Powerful Trixie would be more than pleased to dub thee Her Eternal Consort, and take Her place as the one true princess!"
The golden cathedral they stood in shook with the applause of the thousands of beings, from all corners of the globe, that had gathered to witness this monumentous event in history. The pair kissed, thus completing the wedding and their mutual coronation to King and Queen of the world.
Blueblood turned to Shining Armor, who had been one of his seven-hundred best men for the five-second wedding. "I'll be counting on you in the future, for while our castle will have many butlers, YOU will always be with us."
Trixie, her shimmering crown of pure sunlight taking the form of a pointy hat with every type of jewel imaginable, beamed. "Oh, splendid, My Love! Trixie has always wanted a peasant for hourly hoof-massages!"
---
Shining Armor awoke with a scream, breathing heavily and dripping with sweat. It was several minutes (and Blueblood shouting at him once to 'just turn on a damn nightlight, for Celestia's sake!') before Shining could compose himself. His most immediate thought went thus:
I can NEVER let those two be together.
This wasn't just to prevent massively creepy ultra-narcissism, but to keep a friend from falling victim to the effects of (he'd read the story to Twily once) a love poison-potion. Without the actual potion. Even though he knew Trixie was probably miles away by now, he couldn't get back to sleep. He got out of bed, wondering what he should do now.
---
"Checkmate!" Doctor gleefully announced as he put the rook down. "Doing better every time. Another?"
"Sure, why not." Shining Armor shrugged, yawning loudly.
"I'm happy you joined me in my nightly games of chess, but why aren't you sleeping?"
Shining Armor shivered. "I don't want to talk about it..."

I like to think the lack of facial injury is made up for later, if only in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kindof way.
5607768 Oh I'm certain not everypony will leave this story unharmed, in one way or another.
Man, this story was a blast! I laughed from start to finish.
So this has been your project...
... ONWARD, TO LITERARY ADVENTURE!!
Lol. Okay... this was a great read. Enough said.
Great story
Of course, nice guy or not, Blueblood is still in love with his reflection.
5616646 But then we wouldn't have hilarious 6 chapters of awkardness.
2 or 3 tops.

Something like that is actually what Soarin was trying to do early on, but Trixie wasn't keen on listening to anyone that so much as suggested she couldn't launch herself at her object of obsession and squeeze him to her heart's content.
Reasoning does not work on crazy people.
Just finished this great story, and I really love the interpretation of Trixie in the Stallionverse. My favorite parts were definitely the flashbacks. The whole sequence feels like a magical-girl romantic manga story. I feel like I'm supposed to disapprove of Trixie stalking Blueblood, and be glad that she left town peaceably, but I have to admit: I'm totally rooting for Trixie to come back and claim her Prince one day!
Oh, and that song at the end with the Crusaders singing about wreaking terrible justice upon Shining Armor? I almost bust a gut!
This was very good, although I was rather disappointed when Trixie left at the end. It seemed like things were just starting to really shape up between them and it could have moved into a real, if awkward at first, romance if someone had gone after her.
It also helps that you do not have all the mechanical errors Jetto has.

Worry not, fair citizen, for you've not seen the last of the Great, and Powerful Trixie!
(More of her in Sunny, Moonie, Twily, for now)
And, English is kind of a tough language. It's my first (and only!) and I still make mistakes all the time.
In some of my older stories, you'll probably find 'kindof' as one word where I was too lazy to go back and edit it straight.
And indeed still am....
*Smoke-bomb vanish!*
5959040 Yeah, I'm reading that now, although I have not run into Trixie yet.
As for English, I know what you mean about it being a tough language and can understand some errors, but that is still no excuse for the mountains of fundamental errors with basic grammatical structures and word forms in those stories. There are plenty of guides online to clarify all the details of English and plenty of people around here willing to edit so there is no reason for them to be as much of a mess as they are.

5959670 I'm sorry! I'll try to use Grammar Nazis more often!
I just wanted to let you know that I have been finding less and less grammatical errors.
Good Job!
now if you could just stop killing me with laughter every chapter...
6151491 Sorry, but the dying gasps of fatal hilarity are the best way to reopen the ninth gate and awaken the narcoleptic ones from their slumber.
In all seriousness, glad you've enjoyed!
