Two weeks passed since Trixie and Rarity visited Unicorn Hills. They decided not to tell the truth to their friends. They simply told them that Trixie’s parents moved and they didn’t knew where. A white lie was better than the uncomfortable truth. Trixie was now watching Rainbow Dash practice some new tricks. The cyan Pegasus asked Trixie to watch her since everypony else was busy. She needed the opinion of a viewer from the ground. Rainbow Dash approached to her friend after she finished.
“So…? How was… I?” The Pegasus asked, fluttering to keep herself in the air and recovering her breath.
“You were astonishing, Rainbow. I… I have no more words.”
Rainbow Dash smirked proudly. “Of course I was. I just brought you to hear somepony state the truth.”
Trixie smiled and chuckled. “Oh, Rainbow Dash, do I need to humiliate you again?" She said as she slowly shook her head. "Maybe the Great and Powerful Trixie should kill that pride of yours again.” Trixie jokingly said, causing Rainbow Dash’s smile to faint.
“Uh, no thanks.” Trixie chuckled again and smiled at the Pegasus. “In all seriousness, your tricks are just fine. I recommend you to watch your speed, though. You tend to fly too fast and it is hard to see you properly. The rainbows also fade out too quickly. Maybe you should work on that?”
“I see… don’t worry Trixie, that’s why I brought you here. Thanks to you, I will improve my tricks.”
“You’re most welcome, Rainbow Dash.” Trixie said in a formal tone similar to Rarity's.
“Trixie, you don’t need to use fancy words on me, speak naturally.” The rainbow-maned Pegasus said with a smile.
“Sorry, I’m used to it.”
“I have enough with a Rarity, I don’t need two!” The Pegasus jokingly added.
“Hey, that’s my marefriend you’re talking about!”
“Alright, easy there. I was just joking, you don’t need to be on the defensive… Trixie, why are you laughing?” The Unicorn’s laughs died shortly after that.
“I was joking too.”
Rainbow Dash’s face changed from confusion to a smile. “You got me.” Trixie looked at the sky and gasped when she saw the position of the sun.
“I have to go. I need to do something important! I’ll… see you tomorrow, maybe?”
“Um, sure? Good bye, Trixie. Take care!”
“Same to you, and, keep practicing, you’re doing well!” Trixie yelled as she galloped away.
“You don’t need to say that twice!”

“There you go, Mr. Bear, your arm will be completely healed in a few days. Until then, try not to use it. Try not to wake up the birdies again.” The bear seemed to nod and left, happy. Fluttershy smiled at herself for a job well done and and laid on the ground to rest a bit. She sighed happily and closed her eyes, feeling the soft wind on her body and her mane moving by it.
“You look cute when you do that, Shy.” The Pegasus opened her eyes to meet Twilight’s gaze.
“Oh, Twilight! Hello. What brings you here on this beautiful day?” Fluttershy asked and sat up and was inches away from Twilight’s face. The Unicorn leaned closer to her marefriend and planted her lips on Fluttershy’s for a soft peck.
“Can’t I come to visit my lovely marefriend? I came here to give you a gift, something I have been meaning to give you for some time now.”
“Really? Oh, Twilight, you shouldn’t have bothered.”
“It wasn’t a bother at all. Here.” Twilight’s horn lit and took a Teddy bear out from her bag and put it beside Fluttershy.
The Pegasus took the Teddy bear with her forelegs. “A, Teddy bear?”
Twilight smiled as she nodded. “You love critters and I saw you treat more than one bear. I thought that it would be fitting. Besides, it can be a good company when I’m not around. Don’t you like it? I'm sorry, I thought...”
“I love it.” Fluttershy said as she hugged her gift. She, then, looked at Twilight again and reached a foreleg to the back of her neck to pull her closer and give her a long and passionate kiss, followed by another soft peck. “Thank you, Twi. I’ll sleep with him every night.”
“Him?”
“Doesn’t it looks like a him to you?”
Twilight glanced at the toy and petted it a bit with one of her hooves. “Yes, it looks like a he.” The Unicorn looked at Fluttershy once more. Lavender met cyan, but Twilight wasn’t smiling. “I came here for a reason… I’m afraid that I will be busy for the following week. Many new books are arriving and I need to organize every single one of them and check that every page is in shape and complete.” Fluttershy didn’t say anything. She lowered her head, sad and hugging her Teddy bear. “I’m sorry, Fluttershy. I’ll make it up to you. When I’m done, I’ll take you stargazing.” There was still no reply from the Pegasus. Twilight sighed sadly and kissed one of Fluttershy’s cheeks before starting to walk away.
“Twilight, wait!” The lavender Unicorn barely had time to turn when her sight was blocked by Fluttershy’s mane.
The Pegasus embraced her tightly.
“I love you...”
“I love you too, Shy. Don’t you ever forget it.” They gazed at each other’s eyes again before Twilight hesitantly broke the hug and walked away. Fluttershy watched her until she couldn’t see her anymore and took her gift again, putting it on her head to make her company as she continued to take care of the forest critters. She needed to walk to keep her mind busy.
A week, a whole week without Twilight… She’s right in her library and I can’t visit her, I don’t want to distract her, but she thinks on everything. This Teddy Bear really helps. She smiled a bit and stood still. I should probably send her some cookies later. I need to buy the ingredients after I make sure that all the critters are fine. I need flour, and… Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a strange sound not far from there. “What’s that?” Fluttershy trotted, following the sound which became louder with each step she made. Eventually, she heard the sound right in front of her, but leaves were covering her sight. The sound was strange, she never heard anything like that, but the melodies were wonderful. She moved the leaves out of the way to find a group of different types of critters surrounding the source of the sound.
It was Trixie.
The magician pony was playing an odd instrument which consisted of a bag with pipes attached to it. Her eyes were closed to increase her focus. Trixie was blowing into the mouthpiece while pressing the bag, allowing incredible notes to be played. Fluttershy watched in awe, careful not to make any sound to bother her friend. She wanted to leave and keep the secret, but her legs betrayed her. Her ears still wanted to enjoy the music. In one moment, Trixie stopped playing and the critters surrounding her cheered. The blue Unicorn chuckled and opened her eyes and looked around to see her audience. She gasped when she spotted Fluttershy.
“Fluttershy?!”
The Pegasus in question blinked several times to wake up from her trance and shook her head. She backed away a bit, looking ashamed. “I-I’m sorry, Trixie. I was just walking close and I heard a beautiful sound and I decided to follow it. I really didn’t want to...”
Trixie noticed that her friend was nervous so she smiled and spoke warmly. “Easy there. I’m not mad, you didn't do it on purpose.” Trixie stood up, leaving her instrument where she was standing and approached to Fluttershy. “Nice Teddy Bear.” Fluttershy looked up, took the toy and hugged it with one of her forelegs.
“Th-Thanks. It was a gift from Twilight. I didn’t know that you played… an instrument, is it? I'm sorry, I don’t know.”
“It is. It’s called bagpipe. I used to play it often when I was a filly. My brother played the accordion and one of our cousins the drum. We had a little band and our dream was to perform live at least once.”
“I never heard one before.”
“It’s because it isn’t originally from Equestria. I’m part Scoltish. I was always fascinated by that culture.”
“I didn’t know that. Rarity didn’t tell me.”
“It’s because she doesn’t knows. I want too keep it a secret until I have song prepared to play for her. It has to be perfect!” Trixie put both of her forelegs on Fluttershy’s withers. “Since you found me, I’ll share with you a big secret. Don’t tell anyone about this.”
“I-I won’t.”
Trixie smiled widely.
“I want the song to be perfect because… I’m composing one to propose to her.”
I wonder how many people called this. The proposal, not the bagpipes. I don't think anyone saw that coming.
Now all we need is Trixie having a strong tolerance for alcohol and she would be a true Scoltish (clever name BTW)
So Trixie is going to propose with a bagpipe, that is a new and interesting concept for me, looking forward to that.
And what happend after Trixie left Dash? well in Ponyville they say she went to nap with a close friend under an apple tree you might say.
(prof of me being silly)
Other wise no mistakes was discovered by me so you'r doing good so far. Keep on keeping on.

5188877 I found a great song with Bagpipes before even writing the first part. I plan something important like this
5189055 Thank you! It took me a little while
You wil be amazed with the proposal, trust me
As for Rainbow Dash... I'll leave that to your imagination
Thanks!
Omg. Way to go Trixie!

5191172 And some hearts for you~
5191192 Awesome!
5191339 No problem Pal.
Trixie playing the bagpipes. That image is too hilarious for words. In a good way, mind! Anyway, yeah. I knew this was coming and great to see it.
5193756 Some people knew what she was doing, but not how
I have read the names of the chapter, and please tell me that they are not going to have a big showdown with the bad Pony in this fanfiction, right befor it is over. I like the fanfiction, but i have seen it so many times.
It is not your fault that many people seems to use that idea, but i doesn´t like it anymore to bad guy at the end, if it should be the end.
-In an adoption story, there is a bad guy which tries to capture/kill some children.
-In a Pinky story with three personalitys, there is a mad doctor, which tries to capture her.
-In a Human Pony story there is often enough a Monster, that manage to kill the Human or just beat the shit out of him, because most of the Humans (even with awesome abilitys), never get the change to win against a Vilian, that means as far as i saw it.
- In this story there is a bad guy to, which tries to capture/kill Trixie.
I like the story, but i have to know if it is already the end if the bad guys is captured.
I don't even know of you were really trying to make us laugh in the beginning
Short and sad TwiShy moment. The life of a librarian I guess (only on this chap. I'm bit saying all librarians are like this).
I actually thought Trixie was going to do what FlutterShy did in one episode where the birds sing as a choir. I think it was the S2 ending (Canterlot weddind) if I remember. Well, so far from my prediction. But other than her playing bagpipes and Scoltish (which is really neat BTW), I think proposing after almost being a year together is a little too early. But who am I to stop these two mares! Just don't make them marry each other too fast as well . Really thought the animals were part of Trixie's plan when they were just there to hear her play.
I still think it is a really short chap even if it is that significant.
5188877 I mean, it was the Scottish who brought to is the idea of a unicorn so why not? But yeah, I get why. (Though I honestly think it was just going to be a big event. Proposing is too early for me so didn't consider it. I must remind myself I am in the fiction world. And when you're in the fiction world...
which even includes rule 34 and whatever rule you can think off.
5189787 You better give me the link of the song then. I am interested in all genres of songs. Opera, classic, jazz to pop or dubstep. I may even know it. But if you intend to put it in a chapter, I'll be waiting for it! So plz I am all ears.
6616978 Short, but nice. Don't worry, they won't get married right away
6617002 Of course I included the song in the fic! Why thinking on a song if I'm not going to include it?
Wait, and you'll listen to it
....what fancy words? Seriously. Trixie said you're welcome. That's it.
6659555 You're most welcome, not just welcome. Besides, I didn't actually mention it but, she speaks similar to Rarity.
Ahhhh girl scaream ahhhh yes babies starnge night wing gummy bears expolding ahhh
Yeah Trixie is helping quite a lot
