CHAPTER 37
I walked the streets of Canterlot. I had gotten bored and decided to explore the fanciest city around. I was amazed as I saw all of the hotels and restaurants... And even more amazed when I saw the prices.
"Fifty bits for a glass of the house special? Jeez!"
I kept walking, and I looked in each alleyway I passed out of paranoia.
Then, I looked into an alley, and saw a light blue unicorn in rags, sobbing.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Of course, I approached, hoping to help.
"Well, for starters, I used to be famous all across Equestria... Until that spoil sport came along..."
"Hey, I know Twilight... You're light blue... Unicorn... I know who you are."
"You do? Nice to know I'm still known by some-"
"Twilight told me about you. Not so great and powerful anymore, now are we?"
Trixie began sobbing again after that. I knew she was a little stuck up... But nopony deserves this.
"Hey, get up. I'm sorry I said that. You need anything? Something to eat, maybe?"
"You... You'd do that for me?"
"Of course. Anything to help a pony in need."
She stood up, in much greater spirits. She walked with me in silence for a minute.
"So... You're DJ 1NS4N1TY?"
"What? How'd you..."
"Your clothes."
I was wearing my jacket and my hat.
"Oh. I thought when I wore them like this, nopony would recognize me."
"The Great And Powerful Trixie can see through any guise you can put on... So what's your real name?"
"Kyle. Well, lets get going. I'll have you fixed right up, no problem. Onwards and upwards! Allons-y!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trixie had cleaned herself up, and was stuffing her face with almost all of the contents of my refrigerator.
"Sheesh, you really were hungry, Trixie."
"Well... I've been out of a house and home for about two months now. Ever since Twilight Sparkle ruined my reputation, I've been a laughing stock. I understand that my bragging was wrong, but it was a sales pitch, so to speak. I just wanted ponies to start gossiping so that more would come to my shows."
"Ouch... That must've been a real blow to your self esteem."
"You think?"
She cleaned her plate... Again... And stood up.
"Well, thank you for the help. I guess you'll want me to leave now..."
"Oh no, I'm not done with you yet. We're paying a visit to the Boutique."
Her eyes lit up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bell above the door jingled as I walked into Rarity's store. The stuck-up pony smiled when she saw she had customers.
"Ah, Kyle! Welcome... Who's your friend- Oh. It's YOU."
Trixie curled up on the floor as Rarity approached.
"Waitwaitwait! Rarity, calm down..."
Trixie stood up, still shaking a bit.
"I'm... Sorry for the way I acted before. I hope you can forgive me."
Rarity blinked. "Oh... Oh no hard feeling dear. Now, why is it that you two are here?"
"Actually, I was hoping I could buy Trixie some new clothes for performances."
"But I'm not an actor anymore..."
"Not if I can help it."
Rarity and Trixie smiled at me.
"Alright then... Do you want the same design as last time?"
"Yes. Thank you so much."
"So, Rarity... How much?"
"Nothing. This one is out of the kindness of my heart."
Well, I guess miracles DO exist.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We left Rarity's store, as she needed to work. What next...?
"OK, now we need to talk to Pinkie about getting a stage set up."
"Are you sure? I don't think I'm ready yet."
"Trixie, look at your Cutie Mark, you were BORN ready."
Her face lit up.
"You're right! Let's go see... Pinkie, was it?"
"Yeah." I saw Pinkie bouncing around outside of the bakery. "Oh, there she is. Hey! Pinkie Pie!"
"Oh! Hi Kyle! My ribs were itchy, so I knew you would be coming!"
"Itchy ribs...? Ah, whatever. Pinkie, do you think you could set up a stage for me?"
"Okie-Dokie-Lokie! For who?"
"That would be me." Trixie stepped forward. Pinkie frowned.
"But you're a meanie! Why would I help YOU?"
"Pinkie, she's changed... I Pinkie Pie promise."
"Cross your heart and hope to fly?" Pinkie asked, looking at me quizzically.
"Stick a cupcake in my eye." I slapped my hand on my eye. "OW."
Pinkie giggled. "Alright! I'll set up the stage! Bye-bye!" She bounced off.
"Alright... What's next?"
"I need more powders and such for effects. And I could go for some fireworks."
"I'll ask Pinkie about the fireworks later... The powder... Zecora. We need to go to the Everfree Forest."
"WHAT? WHY!?!?"
"I knew you would react like that... We need to meet with one of my friends who lives out there."
"She LIVES out there?"
"Yeah. No time to explain. Let's go."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked into Zecora's hut. She turned from her cauldron and smiled when she noticed who it was.
"Ah! If it isn't Kyle. I have been meaning to ask if I were to find you... Why do you not have lasting effects from the flowers that are blue?"
"Flowers that are... Oh! You mean the Poison Joke? I dunno. I have a really tough immune system. Maybe that's why?"
"No... The Joke effects your mind... You must have much willpower to withstand prolonged effects."
"I guess so. Hey, I need a favor. Do you have any sparkly dust or something like that? My friend here, Trixie, needs some for her performance."
"That I do. Always good to help you."
Trixie finally spoke. "Does she always speak in rhymes?"
"Yeah."
Zecora came back with a few jars of really sparkly powder. "This powder is enchanted with zebra magic, to have such a beautiful thing wasted would be tragic."
"Don't worry, I won't waste any of it." Trixie took the bottles.
"Thanks Zecora. It was nice seeing you again!"
"You too."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was later at night, and everypony had gathered to see the performance... But they didn't know who the actor was.
I sat in the front row, eager to see what would happen. Then Twilight nudged me.
"Hey. Mind telling me what this is about?"
"I found that pony you told me about, Trixie. She had fallen on hard times, so I helped her back on her hooves."
Twilight frowned when she heard that. "Well, did she learn her lesson?"
"That she did."
Twilight nodded, trusting me. She told everypony else.
Then, I heard Trixie's voice, amplified by a spell.
"HELLO EVERYPONY! I'M GLAD YOU ARE ALL HERE TODAY, FOR YOU ARE ABOUT TO WITNESS HISTORY! THE COMEBACK OF..."
Here we go...
"THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE!"
The curtain rose, and the performance began...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everypony cheered. I heard whooping and hollering and whistling. Trixie went backstage and got out of her costume, and came around front to see me.
"I can't explain how thankful I am..."
"No need. Always a pleasure to help. I'm glad to see you're going to be successful again, Trixie... But don't let it get to your head. You don't want history repeating itself."
She nodded her head frantically. "I promise, I won't let my ego swell as much as it did last time."
"Yeah. I already have to deal with one pony with a massive ego." I looked over at Dashie, who was looking back, a proud expression on her face.
"Well, thank you again, Kyle. This means so much. When I come back to Ponyville, I'll get you a free front row seat."
I chuckled. "Thanks Trixie. You'd better be off now."
"Right. Goodbye!" I saw a puff of smoke. When it was cleared, I could see her running off in the distance. I chuckled again.
you are churning out these updates like mad! (and i ain't one to complain because its all awesome)
Was wondering when she'd come along.
(Checks "redeemed Trixie" off the list of things that have yet to have been done in this fic.)
69572
Dude, PM me a list of stuff to do, and be damn sure that it will all get done... As long as I don't have to kill anypony off...
Trixie?
Srsly?
U MAD?
Have to admit it's nice to see Trixie get redeemed outside of a Twixie fic. *ponders* Wonder if Gilda will show up.
69585
She was never really a bad pony. The fame just got to her head. I always thought that ruining Trixie's rep was a little much... I mean, after that, she would have lost all her business, and become a bum.
69590
Hmm... IDEA!
69594
There is the point!
...
Wait a sec.. You said.. Idea?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
ok now its just starting to get on my nerves. how does nopony reconise him as DJ 1NS4N1TY. how many bipedal dj's are there in equestria?
now thats done, i really love this storie and cant wait for more
i like that you done this for Trixie, i also felt she deserved a second chance and was glad to see you do this.
Onwards to the next chapter?
69594 No, GILDA IS BAD, I HOPE YOU WERE BEING SARCASTIC.
69609
Well, not everypony has seen me in person, have they? They just have my albums... That, and a lot of ponies already know... At least, everypony in Ponyville.
if you do gilda i will be happy with what ever you do with her if shes a bitch i can make a mad comment if shes redeemed like trixie then i shall just write a positive comment
69579
I like your principle of "dont kill anypony"
Trixie = Yeah, I can definitely understand this. A little bragging going to her head? Definitely forgiveable. This was one of the better ways to redeem her.
Gilda = Uh...this is the griffon who is the first character to actually deliberately physically hurt somepony (and, if I'm not mistaken, the ONLY character to deliberately cause physical harm to another pony, not counting Pinkie fighting against Rainbow Dash in "Party Of One"), not to mention purposely making Fluttershy cry. In my eyes at least, the only way Gilda can be redeemed is if it's revealed Discord was mind-controlling her from his stone prison in a vain attempt to separate Rainbow Dash from the group.
I should probably comment on the actual chapter now. Again, it was awesome! The only complaint I have is about possible future stuff, which I already pointed out. And then again I'm assuming your cry of "IDEA!" wasn't just a cruel joke, and that if it wasn't, you're planning to redeem Gilda rather than humiliate her or whatever.
...I need to just shut up, all of my comments lately seem to be complaining about possible future stuff that isn't even confirmed...
69579Hmmmmmmmmm
Well that cuts down on my list pretty hard. I'll see what I can do, if your being serious.
No.
No more fan art....
NEVER
...but it's so cayuuuuute
69792
That's what the Christmas break will be for. All the fan art you have lined up. *Crosses every break day on calender off, categorized as "Fan Art"* That should about cover it.
69759
Yeah, I'm just kidding. I'll probably have Gilda come along, push everypony around, and I'll get pissed. Just a plan though, I KNOW it will change in time... Just like every other plan for this story I've had. The ending will be much less depressing now. I changed it. YAY!
Yo dawg, I heard you like ponies, so we put a Pinkie in your Pinkie, so you can watch her plot while watching her plot.
Yo dawg!
69840 Spike Staches and Flutteryays for you!
So Trixie was like Wheatly, not bad just corrupted... thats nice too see.
70619
Wheatly?
I think it's Portal time!
Remember the part from the end of the game where he wants to kill chell?
The bottomless pit...
If you escaped the crushing and you come back, Wheatly will speak to you to jump down...
Aaand, he also says ponies!
:D
(For those who want to watch it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omqrqesbILU here it is...)
69840 Well that's wonderful. Yay for a less depressing ending!
70839
Yeah... I plan for it to be a bit on the sad side, but no where NEAR as bad as the ending I had planned...
70844 as far as things to add to the list of " things to add to the story" you could add "parody" and "crossover" to the list. how im not too sure but knowing you youll find a way to get it done
Behold the great and powerfull TRIXIE!!! the great and powerfull trixie is a registerd trademark of the great and powerfull trixie. Sry couldent resist
"Trixie finally spoke 'Does she always speak in rhymes?'"
me- "Not in this story, she doesn't."
95557
I know... I'm sorry, but I suck at rhyming... And besides, it could have been worse, right?
"Well, for starters, I used to be famous all across Equestria... Until that spoil sport {Twilight} came along..."
-You forgot the "Twilight"
Gilda is frakking great! She's a Gryphon. Of course she's gonna be mean; it's in her nature as a carnivore. Gilda is best Gryphon.
FINALLY!!! THE GREAT AND POWERFUL CHAOS APPPPPPPPPPPPRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
( eyebrows raised)
(cough) (cough) Um... good chapter bro. I really liked it.
Well this was unexpected. A reformed Trixie. Nice touch.
This is is the best chapter. It has TRIXIE! (Serious Trixie fan, not afraid to show it!)
