"Ow, my head" Trixie's... I mean, I moaned in anguish. From my joints to my brain, I can feel every pounding aches repeatedly hit the insides of my body. How many hard apple ciders did I consume to have this horrible torment to occur on me? Was this my punishment...
AHHH!
Must... not... overthink... too... much... of my... current... predica-
AHH!
Dilem-
AHH!
... Problem. Seriously, what was wrong with the other words?
Whatever.
I rubbed the temples of my head.
Ooooh yeah, this feels soothing. I'm going to do this until the pounding sensation goes away. But why is everything dark still? I heard the rooster's call, signaling the rise of Celestia's sun and the start of the morning dawn.
Hmm? Oh... Hehe, my eyes are still closed. I'm really silly today.
Ummm... I can feel the muscles of my eyelids but they don't seem to be opening up. I hate to do this but I need the help of my fingers to allow me to regain my physical sight of my sore yet still functioning eyes.
But I don't wanna. If I let go of my fingers' current objective, that pounding headache will come back. What should I do?
Should I open my eyes or continue on with... AHHHH!
"The light it burns!!!" I shouted at the top of my lung as my sight has been regained, only to first experience the piercing bright glare of the sun. My body seemed to have grown impatient with my petty decision making and instinctively forced open my eyelids.
"Ugh! Hey girls, Trixie's finally awake." I heard a familiar voice groaned.
"Yay!" Now I hear three new voices exhaustedly cheered.
Giyah! I feel my hay bed squirm and twitch so unnaturally. Wait, I didn't remember going to my hay bed last night. The only last moment that I could recollect was me drinking my last mug of hard apple cider and collapsing on to... oh no.
I nervously looked down... AHHH!
"I'm so sorry, guys. I'm sorry." I repeatedly apologized. I can't believe I just used Twilight, Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash as my cushions for my slumber. Ugh! This is so embarrassing.
"No, it's alright, Sugarcube." Applejack calmly reassured me while she gently stroked my back with her right foreleg.
"Speak for yourself." Rainbow Dash grumpily protested, crossed her forelegs and puffed her right cheek. "While she was sound asleep, we had a terrible time being her bed."
"Like I said, I'm truly sorry for what my inebriated-self has done to all of you girls."
"It's quite fine, Darling." Rarity joined in on the conversation while she levitated three ice packs.
"Ow, my head" I muttered as I apply an ice pack to my head along with Applejack and Rainbow Dash. This morning was embarrassing, mostly because I used Twilight as a pillow. She was not happy about that. I will be apologizing to her later especially after I tossed her out of the barn for her horn magic being too bright.
"Tell me about it sister," Rainbow says a little loud making all three of us wince. "Sorry"
"This is why Ah put the three drink limit." Applejack mumbled. "So how much trouble are you in with your herd this time Rainbow"
"I'm not getting ear scritches from Jack for a week." She almost shouts but thankfully doesn't. "He gives the best ear scratches." Applejack nods in understanding.
"Jack? That's a weird name for a pony." I say as I put the ice pack down to let my head warm up some.
"Oh, that's because he isn't he's called a human." My eye's open wide at what The cyan Pegasus words "You probably never heard of them." She must not have been listening when we were at the hospital. Oh wait that's right she passed out when I had a little incident, still, I do wonder why the others didn't say anything about this?
"Think I could meet this Jack person Rainbow?" I ask. "I'm a little curious about what this human is like."
"Um, sure I guess I just need to ask his mother Lyra." Rainbow replies taking my ice pack and putting it on her head."But just a heads up, if you do meet him, is that he's just a kid that Lyra took in."
"My memory about yer herd is a little fuzzy. Who exactly is in your herd?" Applejack asked with a raised eyebrow.
"There's Bulk Biceps, the cloud twins, Lyra, and her adoptive son so five adult ponies and one foal." Rainbow replies
"Really Darling? I thought Lyra was with That candy maker friend of hers." Rarity then pauses for a moment. "Oh, what was her name again Juicy fruit? No, no that's not it Bon-Bon that's it." Shouts with excitement and I decided to take this opportunity to head a quieter place to nurse my hangover.
"Again I am sorry about using all as a bed but I need to start looking for some way to earn bits without the use of all my legs." We exchange our goodbyes and I head into town albeit slowly, so I have some time to think about what I need to do and how to go about it.
I think I should start working on my magic act now that I have all this extra free time, but what to work on card tricks? No not flashy enough, maybe I could cut myself in half. No no that won't work I don't have a body double. I got it I could call a volunteer and make them disappear maybe even make them reappear as a different race? Yeah, that will work but of course, I would need to find someponies that look similar and use some makeup but that will a good trick to end the show with.
What to do in while I find said ponies to preform with? Maybe I should practice my archery with some hunting. I could use the protein in my diet plus doctors orders I got to eat more. I know that Applejack has some pigs on her farm but I don't think she would let me eat one. Maybe Rainbow knows someone who knows about animals then I could ask them about any good hunting spots. Venison does sound good right about now.
"Maybe once my leg is better, I'll go hunting," I say to no one in particular. As I walk I hear the sounds of birds singing and I can also feel a cool spring breeze. It kinda reminds me of when I left home two weeks ago. My mother was in tears while my dad was smiling but I know he was crying on the inside because he's always been a bigger softie than mother.
"Maybe I should write them and tell them about my new friends.....Well assuming they aren't just hanging out with me because of pity like so many others." I have to stop myself from going down that road. "No. They are my friends."
".........I hope." But there was some self-doubt as I barely knew them and making quick assumptions might jinx it somehow.
GAHHH!
All this thinking is making me depressed and more hungry for some venison. Heck, I'd even go for... some... rabbit...
I licked my lips as I just saw the most delicious looking white rabbit right now. While I was having a depressing inner monologue with myself, my eyes caught a glimpse of a tiny yet meaty white rabbit hopping along the field with a carefree attitude. Damn I don't have my bow or arrow's with me looks like its the little bugger lives another day.
Oh boy. Fluttershy will go bonkers in rage if she saw Trixie hunts animals.
I think the universe cried at the lack of pain to that particular rabbit. Curious how the new human add on will go.

Oh i understood that, guess i have confused you a bit. If you were answering the part I think you did, then I was saying I only needed a moment to understand it but then I did.
8975918
oh okay well how do you like the story?
8975923
At first i didn't planned to read it, but it makes me happy while reading it at the moment. I mean that it could be one of my favourites at the moment. For the time maybe a bit better than the Viper story, but that mostly because I'm still not to sure where the story is going.
I'm not sure if I will want Vipter to be able to actually fight if she is a dangerous creature, or if I want it to continue with her not being able to do any damage if she plans to do it.
Back to Trixie
I need to see her parents at some point, the description made it sounds as if she was a planned experiment and as if the marriage was a deal and not love.
8975935
well I could tell you but it would spoil territory
Now they have a human in their herd that shares the Mares with Bulk......it's up to 5 persons in the herd now which is usually over my limit for it.
I get the feeling this is a crossover again and personally I would ask you to do a story without sharing the characters in that universe next time.
Well I think the damage is done, with the herd I mean. I still hope it is meant more as a family then a family full of lovers, because I already had a hard time to image four persons loving each other that much.

I'm glad if I can be of help in a way.
8976178
Jack is more to show that Humans do appear (at least in this eqursitra) every so often like once every twenty plus years even then its not always a garente that one will appear
8976183
Well alright I guess, I just hope you can find a way to actually make it look good. I never know what I'm supposed to really think of that herd stuff.
Well tomorrow I go for that pokemon story I think or another one if I have more in my list from you.
edit: If I'm honest I supposed as long as Trixie has a normal relationship or you manage to give her and her possible herd members a reason why they love each other and manage to make the thing with Rainbow look good, then i won't mind the herd thing that much.
8976189

8976192
