Chapter Eighteen: Home Sweet Home
HEART OF STONE
Chapter Eighteen: Homeward Bound
Written by TheCrimsonDM
Trixie lay in Maud’s legs cuddling into her chest as she lay in bed. Pinkie Pie was snoring loudly from the other side of the room. Pinkie Pie had offered them her room to stay at while they were in Ponyville. Pinkie Pie managed to get a second bed up into her room just for these two to sleep in. As Trixie lay there nice and snug Maud became increasingly frisky with her. Maud’s hooves gently caressing the length of her body. Trixie found herself enjoying Maud’s touch thoroughly even with Pinkie Pie sleeping in the other bed.
“Maud, we should stop this before it goes too far,” purred Trixie unable to resist her lovers touch.
Maud didn’t say a word as she continued working her magic. Suddenly a second pair of hooves began rubbing Trixie’s withers. Trixie noticed that the snoring had stopped. Trixie looked behind herself and saw Pinkie Pie staring back at her with a seductive look in her eyes. Unsure of how to handle this new situation Trixie looked towards her lover for any indication of what to do, and to her surprise she found Maud replaced with Fluttershy. Fluttershy slowly moved her hooves down Trixie’s sides and onto her flanks. Pinkie Pie began to kiss the length of Trixie’s neck. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy leaned there muzzles over Trixie and kissed one another. Trixie had no idea what was happening or why. Suddenly a bright light blinded Trixie.
***
Trixie sat straight up in bed and covered her eyes as the morning sun blinded her momentarily. She was covered in sweat and trembling. The dream she just had was very exciting if not just a bit worrisome. She rubbed at her eyes and forced herself to calm down. She looked over to see the sleeping form of Maud Pie lying next to her. Pinkie Pie wasn’t in the room at the moment, so she must be awake already.
Trixie was concerned about her dream. A dream about both Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie was a little odd in her opinion. She wasn’t sure whether to enjoy or fear the dream, perhaps both. Trixie already had a pony for that kind of stuff. A pony she loved with all her heart, this dream was just…weird. She decided that if she had to deal with this, it could wait until after she was done with today’s schedule.
Trixie laid back down on the bed and wrapped her forelegs around her sleeping mare friend. She just lay there snuggling Maud for a few more minutes, breathing in the sweet scent of lilac from her special somepony. Trixie couldn’t help but smile as she thought about how Pinkie Pie had been so keen on creating a list of fun things for the three of them to do together. After everything Trixie had been through since coming to Ponyville however, Pinkie Pie decided to re write the list and make it more…calm.
Trixie really needed rest, and although she had gotten a good amount of sleep last night, it just didn’t feel like enough. A sudden churning inside Trixie’s belly caused her to sit up and charge towards the bathroom. She had run down the stairs and bolted into the bathroom just in time to vomit into the toilet. After she finally finished she wiped her muzzle with her foreleg and felt shaky. Trixie went to flush the toilet and stopped.
There was a lot of red inside the toilet. Her foreleg and muzzle was red as well. Trixie didn’t want to think about this, she didn’t want to deal with this, she didn’t want any part of this. She flushed the toilet and told herself that it couldn’t be blood, it had to be something she ate…it didn’t work but she tried to tell herself this anyway.
After washing off her leg and muzzle Trixie emerged from the bathroom. She found Pinkie Pie waiting for her on the other side of the door. Pinkie Pie looked a little sad as she stared at Trixie. Trixie couldn’t help but look away and say, “It’s okay Pinkie Pie. I’ll be just fine…”
Pinkie Pie gave Trixie a hug and said, “That’s exactly what I said when I needed help the most. Trixie you’re my sister and I’m going to help you anyway I can, but you have to trust me okay.”
Trixie returned the hug and in quiet whisper said, “I’ve been dealing with so much stuff since coming here to Ponyville. I don’t know what to do about it all.”
Pinkie Pie sniffled and said, “I understand, but we’re going to fix that okay. I have the list of things to do, it won’t be hard on you. I promise, and if you need help getting around town I can pull you in my wagon.”
Trixie gave a little laugh and said playfully, “pulling Trixie around in a wagon, that will never happen. The great and powerful Trixie doesn’t trust wheels, remember.”
Pinkie Pie laughed a little at the little joke Trixie made, she enjoyed being able to joke like that with Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie took Trixie downstairs where she had prepared a wonderful pancake breakfast for her. Although Trixie insisted that she wouldn’t eat without Maud by her side. So Pinkie went up stairs to fetch her sister.
***
Aside from Pinkie Pie and the two young foals, the breakfast table was quiet. Trixie could tell that Maud was confused, and worried. The cakes seemed to be nervous. Trixie really wished that she couldn’t feel other ponies emotions sometimes. Trixie decided to try and kill the tension and be the first one to speak.
“You know I grew up here in Ponyville,” Trixie admitted.
Mr. Cake looked intrigued and said, “Oh really?”
Trixie smiled back as nicely as she could. “Yeah, back then ponies used to call me Little Lula, I’m Midnight Sonata’s daughter.”
The Cakes looked at one another before returning there gaze to Trixie. Misses Cake then said, “Oh, does that mean you’re the daughter who was sent to Celestia’s school?”
Trixie nodded and then Mr. Cake said, “I’m sorry about…uh…everything.”
Trixie looked at her food, she had hardly touched any of it. It was delicious to be sure, but she just didn’t feel like eating. She was emotionally upset still, and her belly still didn’t feel right.
Trixie let out a sigh and said, “I’ve had a hard life. But things are finally looking up, I have Maud, and Pinkie. I’m even friends with Twilight Sparkle…so I think that this might really be the start of a good life for me. I know I’ve done a lot of bad here in the past, and if I hurt either of you I’m terribly sorry for it. I’m going to make up for it somehow though, I promise.”
Misses Cake gave Trixie a kind smile. “There’s no need for that. Pinkie Pie has told us how good you really are, and how wrong we all were for judging you. I’m sure that the town will begin to accept you soon, you just need to give them a chance. This town is amazing for turning lives around you’ll see.”
Trixie felt herself grinning, it was nice to have support from ponies she barely even knew. If Misses Cake's words were true then her life could continue to improve. Trixie still couldn’t stomach more than a few tiny bites of breakfast, her insides were still tumbling around making her feel sick.
***
After breakfast Trixie simply lay down on the bed, Maud was kind enough to offer her flank as a pillow for Trixie to rest her head on. Trixie didn’t know what had caused her to become so ill, not for certain anyway. She still suspected that it was because of her use of magic to destroy the rocks and save Twilight. The thing with Scath on the other hoof was still worrying her, maybe Scath had done something to her. That could explain the blood.
Every second Trixie lay still she felt panic beginning to rise. There had to be a reason for everything to be like this. Maybe Trixie was simply cursed, that would only be fitting after all. Maud stroked Trixie’s mane gently. “It’s okay Trixie. When you feel better we can go out and look around town. I hear there is a nice restaurant in town that you may like.”
Trixie simply laid there enjoying the kind treatment from her special somepony. Their plan had been to look around town at the houses and hopefully find a good home. Trixie didn’t feel much like eating at the moment so the idea of going to a restaurant with Maud although pleasing was not the best idea at the moment. It was nice of her to suggest it though, a date with Maud would be nice…did Maud just suggest a date?
Trixie spoke softly as she asked, “Did you just ask me out on a date?”
Maud answered back with her flat tone of voice, but Trixie could feel her nerviousness, “Yes.”
Trixie smiled and cuddled into her mare friends flank a little more. Trixie then said, “I would love to, when I stop feeling so sick. The first thing I did today was throw up, after all.”
“Maybe you caught something on the train?” Maud suggested.
“Maybe,” said Trixie dully.
Trixie closed her eyes and listened to Maud’s soothing voice as she rested. “Rarity wanted you to come by when you felt better.”
Trixie began feeling sleepy and asked, “Do you know why?”
“I think she made something for you,” Maud answered.
Trixie just lay there in silence and allowed the world to sweep away as she fell asleep. Trixie’s last conscious thoughts were about how often she was sleeping lately, it seemed like a lot to her, and yet she was feeling so exhausted.
***
Later that day Trixie and Maud followed Pinkie Pie around town as Pinkie showed them a few houses. Trixie felt a little better but not by enough, she was still feeling sick and tired. She toughed it up and decided to go anyway. She was determined to find a nice little place to live sick or not.
The few places they visited were a little unlike what she had imagined. Trixie kept her eyes open for a particular building that she had wanted to visit. But after a while Trixie gave up on finding the old tree house that used to meant so much to her. It may not matter much anyway, she could find it again later. Her memories of the old library were very pleasant.
The first house they had visited was a two story house with straw roofing, there wasn’t anything wrong with it in particular. It was just too close to the town hall, meaning it was a little too busy for Maud to handle. Although Maud had denied it, Trixie could feel her anxiety over this house.
While Maud was exploring the upstairs Trixie took Pinkie Pie aside and into the kitchen. Trixie had been meaning to ask something for a while now but she had either been too busy, or too stressed to talk about it.
Pinkie Pie smiled brightly at Trixie making her feel a little bad for asking this, but it needed to be done. “Hey Pinkie Pie, I just wanted to tell you that the information you gave me about my psychic powers was really informative. But I am a little curious, how do you know so much about them?”
Pinkie’s expression continued looking happy, but Trixie could feel a shift in the air around her. Pinkie Pie was beginning to panic, or at least that’s what if felt like to Trixie. Pinkie Pie then said in her bouncy happy voice, “lucky guess.”
It felt almost like a lie to Trixie, but she decided to trust her and not press any further for information. Trixie looked around and felt as though it was time to continue the search somewhere else.
***
The second house was next to a candy store, and it was more suitable. At least until the owner came out, a pony with a pink and blue mane and two candies for a cutie mark, and made a snide comment to Trixie. Trixie wasn’t sure what she had done to this pony but the image of stealing all of her candy and eating it came to mind. Pinkie Pie and Trixie had to work together to pull an angry Maud away before things got ugly.
***
The third house was right next to the lake, and although it was a very pretty view of the lake. It was a little too close to Twilight’s tree-castle for Trixie’s liking. Although they were friends now, Trixie would prefer not to live so close to the princess, it was kinda like asking for trouble from every evil doer in Equestria.
Trixie had walked out to the surface of the lake alone and watched the water. It was really quiet right now, and Trixie enjoyed that. The pony from before had really upset her, but even worse the pony had upset Maud. Trixie had forgotten just how scary Maud could be when she was protecting the ponies she loved.
Pinkie Pie walked up to Trixie and said, “hey there filly…you okay?”
“I don’t know, it just sucks when some ponies are mean like that one was,” Trixie explained.
Pinkie Pie kicked a pebble into the water and looked back towards the house. “Maud is inside checking out the bed room. She might take a few minutes so I have enough time to tell you a story.”
Pinkie looked at Trixie meeting her eyes. Trixie became suddenly aware of a heavy weight that was on Pinkie Pie. It was something that felt very familiar to Trixie’s guilt. Trixie sat down and said, “okay, what’s it about?”
Pinkie Pie smiled but Trixie could feel Pinkie’s heart breaking. Pinkie then said, “Once upon a time there was a pink pegasus pony. She lived up in the clouds with her family. Her family worked on a rock-um cloud farm. And they were content…but the pink pegasus wasn’t happy.”
“What was wrong with her,” asked Trixie.
Pinkie let out a sigh and said, “the pink pegasus’s family-“
“Pegasi,” corrected Trixie.
Pinkie gave a small huff and puff before continuing her story. “Anyway, the pink pony’s family were a very different kind of pony. Her parents almost never said the words ‘I love you’ nor did they ever give out any hugs. Things were really dull up in the clouds. One day the Pink pony saw a magical rainbow explosion and realized that there was more to life then boring gray rocks.”
“Don’t you mean clouds,” Trixie corrected again.
Pinkie Pie smiled in appreciation. “Yeah gray boring clouds. Anyways, now that she learned that there was more out there she began searching for things that were different. Things that spat in the face of her old boring life. The pink pegasus got into a lot of trouble with authority during this time of her life. Eventually she discovered she had a knack for making ponies laugh. So she decided to try having some out of this world parties.”
Pinkie Pie paused for a moment causing Trixie who was very interested in the story to ask, “what happened?”
Pinkie Pie gave her a sly smile as she said, “well she might have caused a fire in the village after an out of control party. After that she was disciplined harshly and was not allowed to go out and party, or hang out with her old friends. Her parents were scared that there child was becoming a bad pony, they may have been right but locking her up only made things worse. The pink pegasus had a very hard time after this. Her parents didn’t understand, and they never even tried to. They kept her stuck on the farm with no outside contact. She still loves them but they are a very different kind of pony, the boring kind. After awhile the pink pony got really depressed, and soon she found a new friend…a lot of new friends actually.”
Trixie gave Pinkie an inquisitive look. Pinkie looked away from Trixie’s eyes and took in a deep breath before saying, “None of these friends of hers were actually real. But without contact with the outside world she didn’t have a choice, and when they began speaking to her, she was overjoyed for anything that would comfort her. Anything that would understand her.”
Trixie sat down and asked, “But what about Maud?”
Pinkie Pie didn’t meet Trixie’s eyes as she explained, “Maud was away in school. Learning about rocks and such. Maud is older than me after all, and she was working towards a degree.”
Trixie placed a hoof on Pinkie’s shoulder in an attempt to cheer her up. “It’s okay, why don’t you finish the story about the pink pegasus?”
Pinkie Pie smiled gratefully and said, “Okay.” It took Pinkie Pie a few moments but she finally continued. “One of her friends was a pile of rocks, named Rocky. Another one was ball of cotton he was funny, his name was cottontail. The pink pegasus eventually got a new best friend…”
Pinkie Paused as she closed her eyes and rubbed at her hooves. Pinkie Pie stayed quiet for a few moments. The seconds passed by slowly as Trixie waited for Pinkie to open her eyes. After a few more moments a few tears began to run down her face from under her eyes as she said, “Her new best friend was a knife named Cutie Cutter.”
Trixie simply stared in confusion for a few seconds before it dawned on her. A knife…probably a very sharp knife. Trixie stared in horror at Pinkie Pie who seemed more and more obsessed with rubbing at her…fetlocks. A deep fear began rising inside of Trixie as she could only imagine what the pink pegasus had done.
Pinkie Pie finally opened her eyes, they were all watery and she explained, “One day the pink pegasus had played a game with Cutie Cutter. It was game they would play a lot, it might’ve been a little painful but she was used to it by then. The problem though was that she messed up and accidently hurt herself a little too badly. The pink pegasus died that day. She actually enjoyed the otherworld while she was there. Because her family was waiting for her, members of her family long since passed. They told her all kinds of secrets, but they explained that she still had a purpose to fufill, a destiny. So the pink pegasus returned home…returned to the world of the living.”
Pinkie Pie wiped her eyes with a hoof and took a second to recompose herself. “After that the pink pegasus was seen as being too troublesome to take care of. She was the black sheep of the family, the one who would corrupt her younger sisters. So the parents sent her to live with her aunt and uncle who owned a small bakery, and she has been living there peacefully ever since. Now she refuses to let anypony be sad or depressed for even a second and uses every single skill she has to cheer them up. Few ponies can understand how hard things can get…as she does.”
Trixie looked to the house and then back to Pinkie Pie. “So…you can read minds because of this…accident?”
Pinkie Pie stood up and said, “I said that it was a pink pegasus, and it was only a story. If anything like that did ever happen then I suppose that this Pink pegasus would have some crazy powers…but she might also be a complete nut ball. Thankfully I grew up on a rock farm far away from the dark gloomy clouds of boring, lonely, and depressed grayness.”
Pinkie Pie then walked back towards the house. As she began walking away she said, “please don’t tell Maud about this story. She doesn’t need to learn of such sad things.” Pinkie Pie then winked at Trixie as she added, “and that’s how Equestria was made.”
Trixie couldn’t help but giggle a little bit at that last sentence, even though it had nothing to do with the story. Trixie watched Pinkie Pie walk inside the house with a new perspective on the pink pony. Maybe Pinkie Pie had some crazy stories she liked to tell, and maybe this truly was just another story. But Trixie didn’t believe that at all, it felt a lot more likely that this was Pinkie Pie’s way of dealing with a terrible event.
Pinkie Pie had once mentioned that she could understand Trixie’s feelings in the past. Pinkie Pie had a strange way of remembering things in odd ways, often times distorting them, but there was always a fragment of truth in her stories. That fragment of truth was what concerned Trixie the most about this story.
It was strange but Trixie felt a relieved to know that there was another pony who could understand her. It was so hard to talk about suicide to ponies who never attempted it, let alone considered it. Sometimes it was like a black mark that everypony tried there hardest to pretend never happened.
Trixie let out a sigh and whispered to herself, “you really are a great sister Pinkie Pie. I’m lucky to have you.”
***
Finally after two hours Pinkie Pie lead the young couple to a small single story house at the edge of town. Trixie could see the school house down the road, and children playing happily. Trixie looked back at the house, there was nice wide yard, it had its own well, and a small river running by it. The best news was that aside from the school house down the way, there was little traffic up here. Maud wouldn’t have to be bothered by a lot of busy ponies.
The house opened up into a small living room/kitchen area. There were four empty rooms, a small room for washing laundry, a nice and large bathroom. There was even a small fire place for staying cozy and warm during the winter.
Trixie could imagine herself living here, raising a child or two with Maud. Keeping warm and cuddling by the fireplace, the big open bath was planting all kinds of illicit fantasies inside her mind, and the general feel of the place was…romantic. It was perfect, now if only Maud liked it as well they could stay here.
Trixie looked at Maud who was staring down at the ground and realized that Maud had barely looked up at this place. It must not have been a very good home after all. Trixie took in a deep breath and resigned herself to not being able to be here if Maud didn’t like it. Trixie wrapped a foreleg around Maud and feeling very timid asked, “so…do you like this place?”
Maud stayed quiet staring down at the cobble stone floor for a few moments. After an uncomfortable amount of silence she looked up and said in her monotonous voice, “There are a lot of unique rocks used in the construction of this house. The bathroom floor is made of river rocks unique to Ponyville. The floor of the kitchen is made of cobblestone. The washing room is also made of cobblestone. I like this place.”
Trixie suddenly realized that while she had fallen in love with the fireplace, the bath, and the small cozy nature of this house. Maud had been examining the ground the entire time, she wasn’t disappointed by the house, Maud was in love with it. Trixie couldn’t stop herself from wrapping both of her hooves around Maud and kissing her.
Trixie pulled back and said, “You are the most wonderful pony in the whole of Equestria. We are totally moving here.”
Trixie looked at Pinkie Pie and said, “We want this place. How much is it?”
Pinkie Pie grinned so wide that her mouth was nearly bigger then her face. Pinkie Pie turned around and a pulled out a piece of paper from…actually Trixie still had no idea where Pinkie was grabbing these things from. Maybe it was some sort of magic, gypsy magic? Trixie abolished the idea quickly and took a look at the paper as Pinkie Pie showed it to her.
According to the document that Pinkie Pie was holding in her mouth. This house was owned by Twilight Sparkle and this document was actually a lease agreement. Trixie read it in depth. According to the document, Trixie and Maud would be allowed to live here, with full ownership. The house wasn’t going to cost anything, in fact it was free.
Trixie reread the document trying to find where the loop hole, or the trap was. There wasn’t any, from what Trixie could tell. It was like Twilight was just giving them a free place to live and all she had to do was sign this paper…but why?
Trixie sat down hard and asked, “why? Why would Twilight give us a nice house like this? What did I do to deserve this?”
Pinkie Pie sat down and grabbed the document with her hooves. With her mouth now free Pinkie explained, “You honestly don’t know? You have saved Twilight’s life twice now, she is a princess. Trixie, do you understand all the cool things she can do now that she has unlimited funding? If she wanted to spend ten thousand bits researching pony farts she could, and no pony would protest. You have died for Twilight, no pony has done that before, so she is going to do anything she can to help you out…”
Trixie felt like her pride was being smashed, a free home like this it was almost like pity. The old Trixie would have raged and fought about this, the new Trixie was smarter than that and would be humble about it, while still secretly disliking the charity.
Trixie grabbed the document from Pinkie Pie and let out a huff. Pinkie Pie looked a little scared, Trixie noticed that there was quill sitting on the ground next to Pinkie Pie along with some ink. Trixie let out a small growl and said, “I don’t need pity from any pony, not anymore. I’m better, I’m fixed, I am not broken.”
Pinkie Pie closed her eyes and begged, “Please don’t let your pride ruin this, you two could be so happy here.”
Trixie quickly picked up the quill and signed her name on the document before handing it over to Maud. Trixie watched as Maud signed it and then Trixie put the document back into Pinkie Pie’s hooves. Pinkie’s eyes opened slowly, and as she saw the signatures her eyes widened and her mouth gapped open in surprise.
Trixie crossed her forelegs and looked away saying, “But that doesn’t mean that I won’t accept this gift. Sometimes you need to do things for the better, even if you don’t like the feeling of it…and tell Twilight I said thank you.”
A voice from behind Trixie said, “She won’t have too.”
Trixie looked back and saw Twilight Sparkle standing behind her looking pleased. Trixie looked away and feeling a little shameful for acting prideful apologized, “I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to sound ungrateful…”
Twilight shook her head and said, “That’s okay, it was presumptuous of me to do this. I just couldn’t think of any other way to thank you for all the things you have done for me, and for Equestria.”
Trixie couldn’t help but smile a little at Twilight’s kind words. Maybe Trixie had judged Twilight too harshly in the past. Maybe she really was fit to be a princess, just maybe.
***
Now that Trixie and Maud were the proud owners of a new ponyville home, she decided it was finally time to do what she needed to. She still felt a little sick, but it was getting better. Trixie had decided to not invite anypony with her this time, this was something she needed to do by herself.
Trixie found herself being escorted by a nice looking nurse with a red cross as a cutie mark, she had white fur and a pink mane. This nice pony was named Redheart and she was working at the Ponyville hospital. Nurse Redheart lead Trixie to a long hallway filled with small padded rooms, at the end of the hall there was a door with the number thirteen written on it.
“Here we are. I have to tell you, Screw Loose doesn’t get many visitors,” said Nurse Redheart.
“Well I may be visiting a lot more often now that I live here,” Trixie said feeling nervous.
Nurse Redheart opened the door to the cell and just inside sat a teal earth pony with a messy silver mane. This pony was wearing a straight jacket. The walls were covered in black symbols but Trixie wasn’t focused on those, her eyes could only see the pony who sat before her. Trixie walked in and heard the door shut securely behind her.
Trixie took a look at the symbols on the walls now, and she seemed to recognize them but she wasn’t sure from where…they gave her chills by simply looking at them. Trixie refocused her view on the pony known as Screw Loose. Screw Loose looked back at Trixie and gave her a welcoming smile before barking like a dog. Trixie couldn’t stop the tears running down her face, even though she wiped them away with a hoof she just couldn’t stop them.
Trixie took a shaky breath and said, “I’m finally here to visit you…mom.”

Holy shit! Screwy is Trixie's MOM!
Mind blown friend, you have officially blown my mind... What other surprises do you hold?
Seriously, what's with Pinkie in every story sound like she's a deranged serial killer?
But seriously great chapter. Can't wait to see what lead to Trixie's mom to end up like this.
5138738 Thanks, I'm glad I could BLOW YOUR MIND!!!
I think you will enjoy the next couple chapters of this story.

After I read about it in the story I did quickly do a google search for it. Since it was a claim I wasn't familiar with yet. I thought the general motif for those stories was an out of body experience, or a glimpse at an afterlife. I wasn't aware mind reading was in there too, but apparently it was. Fun to find out. ^^
I know exactly what you are going through.
It's a tough to skirt the edge of the line you want to keep on the right side of.
I'm looking forward to reading it.
Hehe I love that.

I couldn't find a better picture than this one, it will have to do for now.
No you won't, Trixie.
Pinkie's story was interesting, I like how you snuck in a way to explain why Maud was not in Pinkie's cutiemark flashback. Also, Pinkie messing up the story constantly was a sad kind of cute.
I'm slightly surprised they actually got a house. I mean, Trixie never agreed to move to Ponyville, did she?
Speaking of the house... Near a school? Really, Trixie? You seriously better buy that gag, or all the kids will get their sex-ed early.
The symbols on the wall, I'm betting they are the same kind as the symbols that can be seen on the Crystals. Which seems to imply her mom was involved with that in the past. We'll see I suppose.
Edit:
Considering Trixie is dealing with puking up blood, bodysnatching dopplegangers, and evil Crystals: it's understandable but... did she forget her meds?
Notes:
The meaning of 'her' swapped in the same sentence.

Unless this is not the same nurse, but I think you meant her.
I now love this pairing and this story.
v I think i had three emotions at this moment. I like both characters since i have read a good story about Screw Loose and a Diamond Dog, then it really like that kind of sad moment, i mean that
Screw Loose is her mom here and ill like her daughter. I think i felt a bit pity for them too.
I really enjoy the ideas you have for the story, even if i don´like it that that often something sad happens.

I second that, you reaction looks similar to mine.
From what I can gather: Trixie's illness is hereditary from her mother, Screw Loose is probably a Chekov's Gun, like what I thought the mine was until Trixie moved (but I still have my reservations), and Trixie's mom is infected by the crystals in some way and therefore she is writing the symbols that it was explained only ponies with mental illnesses could see on the walls of the room, which, again, I am calling Chekov's Gun on.
Also, TRIXIE, THE LIBRARY IS GONE!!!!!
