Trixie walked into the polished halls of Canterlot Castle, head held high. This was where she was meant to be, not some hick town where nopony can appreciate her true magical talents The high society and rich lifestyle of Canterlot drew her in, making her feel at home and welcome. Many ponies would fear it, but not Trixie. Trixie lived in the limelight. She had no doubt that she was accepted and loved in the rich city.
She ignored all the snooty ponies looking at her choice of garb and moved on. There was nothing wrong with her hat and cape.
Trixie looked around. The letter hadn't told her where to go once she reached Canterlot. She spotted a royal guard in his distinctive gold armour and walked up to him, clearing her throat. "The Great and Powerful Trixie orders you to tell her where she can find Princess Luna!", she said in her most awe-inspiring voice. It was lost on the guard, however. To him it was just much louder than regular speaking.
"Listen, lady, you can't just get an audience with the princess. You need to have an invitation or a petition."
Trixie grinned and whisked the letter from the princess out of her bag. "Will this do?, she asked. The guard took the letter in his magic and looked over it.
"Fine," he grumbled, flaring his wings in irritation. "Right this way."
Trixie followed the agitated guard through the hallway. She could tell he wasn't taking his job seriously. She wondered if he was new, or if his sudden transformation into an Alicorn made him not care. Trixie pushed the thought to the back of her head. It wasn't a thought about her, and therefore had no room in her head.
As she trotted through the halls behind the guard, she looked around at the lavishly decorated walls. Busts of famous ponies, portraits, murals, and tapestries were places throughout the hallway, giving it a rich feel. Of course, that was to be expected when one was in a palace.
The guard led her to a pair of large doors, flanked on either side by more guards. "This mare has an invitation from the princess", he said. The two guards nodded and used their magic to open the door. Unlike the one who had led her through the halls, they seemed to take their jobs more seriously.
Trixie trotted into the room, leaving her escort behind. The room appeared to be a sitting room, and was decorated with plenty of cool colours, ranging from purple to a dark blue. Plush seats were positioned all throughout the room, inviting Trixie to sit on them. A number of glass doors lined the far wall, opening up to a spacious balcony. A telescope was placed there, currently focused on the moon.
"I see you've made it. I was beginning to fear you hadn't got my message."
Trixie jumped up and whirled around in fright. Sometime during her investigation of the room, the princess of the night had entered. "When did you get there?", Trixie asked, panting.
The princess winked. "I'm the princess of the night. I can be pretty sneaky when I want to.", she answered. Luna trotted towards a plush armchair and sat down. "Please, take a seat.", she offered, gesturing to the chair opposite her. Trixie did as she was told and sat down.
The princess used her magic to open up a cabinet on the other side of the room, levitating out a bottle of wine and two glasses. "Would you like some?", she asked. Trixie nodded. Luna poured two glasses and gave one to Trixie.
"So, do you know why I sent for you?", she asked.
Trixie shook her head. "All Trixie knows is what you said in the letter.", she answered. The princess smiled.
"Before we start speaking of business, I think we should get to know each other more.", the princess said. Trixie blinked in confusion.
"Why would you want to know about Trixie?", she asked. "Surely you, the princess, has better things to speak about than Trixie!"
"Well, you seem like a kind, talented mare. I'm sure you have a lot of interesting stories to tell. I would love to learn all about you!"
Trixie cocked her brow in confusion. Is she hitting on Trixie?, she thought. Well, of course she is! Trixie is the most talented, beautiful mare in Equestria! Of course the princess would like a piece of her!
"Well, there is the one time Trixie banished the Wind Demon of Hoofshire..."

Author's note-
Luna isn't hitting on Trixie. Trixie just thinks everything is about her. Luna is trying to see if Trixie is suitable for the task she needs her for.
Don't worry, no shipping.
Read the author's note before you start screaming at me. Well, read it after you read the story.
Step one: Read story
Step two: Read author's note
Step three: You now have permission to scream if you still feel like it.
Well, that's a relief. No shipping.
And now, my preemptive reaction to if Trixie get's turned into an alicorn

Trixie was already an Alicorn.
Everyone is an Alicorn. Did you not read the title of the story?
Please be nice to Trixie. Actually, no, ship her with snooty-gay Blueblood. My new OTP. Quickly, someone write Trixie x Blueblood! Now! Go, go, go, double-time!

No shipping. I don't write shipping. Not because I dislike it, but because I'm afraid of messing up. Maybe some other time. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to Trixie. Just comedy.
1716019 Good. Now, I'm gonna tell you this once and only once: If you don't play nice, you won't be playing any time soon at all. That's right, young man. I know where you live, and I will ground you if you can't keep your hands to yourself. Also, a bit of wisdom for you: If you can't stand the hoosies, stay out of Minnesota!
Mistake made though -- asking TRIXIE if she is suitable for the task. In Trixie's head the GPT Lulamoon is qualified for just about anything until you try doing it.

I love Trixie too much to do anything bad to her.
She's totally best pony.

Remember, Luna only knows of Trixie through her boasting and the trail of tall-tails she leaves in her wake. In her mind, anypony capable of banishing the dreaded Ursa Major is capable of performing one spell.

This is the only thing I can think of whenever Trixie and Blueblood are mentioned as getting along.
Also, I wonder how long it'll take for Luna to realize just how screwed they are, because Trixie is never going to be able to cast that spell.
1716079
Yep this will turn out well...
1716069 Well, that cheating horse Twilight Sparkle is still something, huh? And you know, this update came just in time for me. Just got through reading and the feels were bordering on the unbearable. That is to say, there was an emotion aside from psychotic rage and brobgdingnagian joy.

1716080 not just cast, WANT to cast it unless it is a oh, everypony effected by the spell that turned into an alicorn IS immortal but you are all linked to the caster's lifeforce so if she dies you all die I don't see Trixie willingly casting the spell anyway
No shipping?
But…
I live for shipping!

Nothing to be afraid of Clue, it's just new ground. Obviously not where you were going with this story, but I say it's definitely worth giving a shot some other time. With your writing skill and in-world reckoning, the very -worst- you could do is return a 'neutral - this isn't bad but not my favorite' feeling from your readers. Something to keep in mind when you fancy breaking into new territory or taking on a challenge, perhaps?
Trixie x Luna would never work out anyway, since Trixie already loves herself more than she could ever love anypony else.
Here's what I first thought of when I saw the chapter name.

Maybe I'll write a bonus chapter sometime. Just to test the waters.
Actually I'm quite interested in the awkwardness that would ensue if Trixie takes the crush thing way out of hand. That part of the story made me laugh, seriously.
But I'm like C'mon Luna! You're many times more powerful than Trixie! Why are you doubting your own power?
1716988
I'm thinking, "good job Luna! Let someone else do it, so if it backfires you don't lose your wings and horn!".

Here you go
Here you go Pt 2

I choose to believe Trixie ships herself with everyone.
1715972 Twilight and Celestia aren't. Also how far-reaching the effects of the spell were hasn't been addressed. We have no idea at this moment in the story oh how many ponies/animals/zebras/griffons etc are alicorns. enjoying the story so far but could really use some editing help. some spots are very hard to understand and the tenses change more than they should.
Butt I want shipping ;_;
