You have been WARNED! ****Author's Note**** I'm going to pony hell for this.... And you're all coming with me..... TMB: Side Story A Gift for Mistress by TheDeinonychus (I just got $10 for my soul! Woo!) Part 1 A soft groan rang out in the dark bedroom, the form under the blankets shifting about slowly as sunlight poured in through the large glass doors which led out onto the spacious balcony. From under the covers, that large lump squirmed and wriggled it's way up, first the gently rounded tip of a blue horn, then the yet to be brushed white mane em merged from under the sheets. Like a kelpie coming up for air, Trixie took a deep breath as she scooted her head up onto the pillow after being snuggled down near the foot of the bed for most of the night. Her jaw was still a little sore from last night, but as the last traces of sleep slipped from her mind, the memory of it all brought a wide, delighted grin to the blue unicorn's lips. Slowly opening her eyes, the retired show mare reached a hoof over to her side. She had expected to find something very different from the empty pillow her hoof landed on. Feeling around a bit, she looked over to where another sleeping mare should of been, only seeing the otherwise empty bed, and a well-used but polished bit resting on the night stand. This wasn't something unexpected, the blue mare's mistress often woke early to start her day. Still, Trixie was hoping she could get some time to cuddle before getting up. That would have to wait for another day, though. If her mistress was already awake, then Trixie had to make herself presentable so she could join her. After taking one more stretch to get the stiffness out of her limbs and a yawn to fill her lungs with fresh air, Trixie slipped out from under the sheets. her mane was, naturally, rather tangled and all out of order. It had, after all, been a very enjoyable night. A little blush creeped to her cheeks, giving them an almost purple hue as she made her way over to the mirror. Her horn glowed softly as a soft pink magical shape surrounded a hair brush as she levitated it up to her messy mane. Trixie was careful with each stroke she took, to gently work out any tangles without pulling out her precious hair. It took work to look as great as she did, and she wanted to make sure she looked her best for her mistress. Her tail wasn't as bad, just a few strokes down it's length to put it back in order as well. "Trixie is always the best she can be.." she said as she gazed at herself in the mirror, setting the brush back down on the dresser. She didn't allow herself much to gloat about these days, but this was one of the things she felt she could take pride in. It was, after all, as much for her mistress as it was for herself. With a self-satisfied look to her muzzle, she finally turned from the mirror towards the bedroom door, giving a glance up at the clock ticking away up on the wall. And then Trixie felt panic rise up in her chest. It was nearly noon already! Her eyes widened as she realizes then just how late she had let herself sleep in. She was in trouble! She knew she was in trouble! In a panic she burst through the bedroom door, knocking it aside as she raced down the steps and into the library proper. "Trixie's late! Trixie's late! Oh please please Mistress! Forgive us!" the frantic unicorn cried out as she raced up to the one pony that mattered to her. Twilight looked back over her shoulder at the commotion, two books she was about to re-shelf held in the purple grip of her levitation magic. A little yelp escaped her lips as Trixie nearly tacked her back legs, the groveling mare pressing her lips to Twilight's hooves as worried tears started to well up in her eyes. "T-Trixie? What's the matter?" Twilight asked as she managed to pull her hind legs free and turn around, her face giving the nearly weeping unicorn a look of confusion. "We slept in while Mistress did all the work herself! P-please forgive Trixie.." It took Twilight a moment to let this sink in, and to suppress a slight giggle at the sight. She reached a hoof down to stroke it over the distraught pony's head, an amused smile across her face. "Oh, get up and don't worry about that. It's alright. You were sleeping so soundly I didn't want to wake you." Twilight smiled as Trixie looked up at her, sniffling softly as she rubbed the tears from her eyes. She didn't bother to get up though, still groveling before the pony she had given her entire life to. "Besides, it was only a few books. Nothing I needed help with." "M-Mistress isn't mad at Trixie?" the groveling unicorn asked, a bit of surprise, and a hint of regret to her voice as she managed to dry her eyes. "Nope, not today," Twilight said, pausing a moment. She smirked a little, remembering exactly how Trixie would react if she was mad with the former show mare. "Well, at least not right now." Trixie had managed to at last push herself up from the floor, a little pout to her lips as she trotted up next to her mistress. Twilight felt a gentle brush against her side, looking back with a giggle to see Trixie gently nuzzling at the librarian's flank. "Trixie is so lucky to be yours, Mistress." the unicorn cooed, her voice nearly dripping with adoration. Twilight couldn't help but blush as she put the last couple books back into their proper places up on the shelves. Spike had left the other night for Canterlot, Celestia asking for his help in resorting the palace library. Twilight had felt a little hurt that she wasn't asked to help as well, but after the last time, when she spent more time looking through the books than actually sorting them, she guessed it probably was for the best. Besides, it gave her time to spend with a certain special somepony. Twilight quietly decided that it was good she got to work out her frustrations in such a fulfilling way. And Trixie certainly didn't seem to mind it one bit. Twilight's musings and Trixie's nuzzlings were interrupted by a couple firm raps upon the front door. The purple mare's ears perked up, looking back at the door just as Trixie shoved her face right into her's, the blue mare's eyes bright and nearly sparkling. "Don't worry Mistress! Trixie will see who it is! No need to bother yourself!" Trixie gave her the biggest, most overly eager smile she could manage before galloping to the door before Twilight could protest. It was nice having Trixie around, and she sure was helpful most of the time. But sometimes, Twilight would wish she would just let her do things on her own. The show mare was so eager to please it got embarrassing at times. Trixie sat down at the front door to the library, taking a moment to compose herself into as regal of a pose as she could before reaching out with her magic to take a hold of the door knob. Clearing her throat as she gently opened the door, she sat there with eyes closed and head held proudly in the air. "Whom may I tell the Mistress is waiting for them?" She announced in a sweet and as official of a voice as she could. After a moment with no answer, she peeked open one eye to see who it was, and her regal pose crumbled as she saw two rather familiar mares standing before her with rather confused looks. Lyra and Bon Bon stood on the doorstep to the library, just eying Trixie as her shoulders slumped and a shocked expression came over her face. Thankfully, before things could get much more awkward, Twilight trotted up behind the dumbfounded show pony, a bright smile across her face. "Hey girls! I was wondering when you'd show up. You remember Trixie, right?" Twilight asked, getting a rather embarrassed blush from Lyra while Bon Bon just looked a bit annoyed. Trixie, however, was still trying to gather up her composure, what little of it she could find. "Um, yeah, we do." Lyra said, scuffing a hoof against the ground for a moment before she looked up, her mood lightening quite a bit. "So, you still coming with us to the market today?" "Sure are. I was just tidying up the library a bit before you guys got here. We can get going as soon as you two are ready." This managed to shake Trixie out of her slight daze, the show pony looking up to her mistress "M-mistress? Can.. Can Trixie have a few minutes before we leave? She.. She needs to get ready." Twilight could only roll her eyes at that, remembering the last time she went out with Trixie, and what the blue unicorn had done to 'get ready'. "Fine. Just don't take too long, alright?" She said, watching her lover smile brightly before running back up stares to the bedroom. Twilight silently hoped this wouldn't turn into a huge deal again. Last time she had come out of the bedroom with a muzzle and blinders strapped to her head. The time before that, it was some sort of harness and leash that pulled her tail almost up to her neck, exposing everything for the world to see. And before that, it had been straps around her legs that had forced the pony to crawl on her knees. Twilight almost dreaded seeing what sort of self-embarrassment Trixie would come up with this time. Twilight was brought back to the hear and now as Bon Bon spoke, sounding a bit worried. "Um, is.. Is she ok?" the cream earth pony asked. "Oh, she's just fine. She gets like this every time we go out together. I swear, sometimes I'm not sure if she does it to embarrass herself or me." The librarian joked. She didn't say aloud that she also wondered of the blue pony also did it just to anger the librarian. Knowing Trixie, that was just as likely. Of course, Twilight didn't really mind that too much, not that she'd ever admit it to anyone. Sometimes, it actually felt good to get angry at the submissive unicorn. Those nights they both seemed to enjoy themselves more than usual. She just had to watch herself, make sure she didn't get too angry. Back up stares in the bedroom, Trixie looked into the mirror as she struggled to hold down a surge of panic at who she was going to be spending the day with. Her mistress had said the two of them were going to be going out with a couple friends today, but she didn't say it was going to be THOSE two friends! Trixie had barely seen either of them since, well, the incident. The unicorn, she had been nice, well as nice as one could hope for after what happened between them. But the other one? Trixie was sure she still hated her. After what had happened, Trixie really couldn't blame the earth pony. Sure, they had broken the curse, and that was kind of Trixie's fault. But she didn't pick who it had to be, or how it had to be broken. But still, it had happened, and the show mare was sure there was still issues that hadn't been worked out between herself and the earth pony. This was one of the things her mistress had wanted to help Trixie with. Thinking about her mistress was one thing, but she needed to think about others as well. They had feelings, they could be hurt even if you didn't mean to hurt them. This was her chance to show that she could become a better mare. A mare her mistress would be proud of. With a deep breath, she looked back up to herself in the mirror, seeing the panic slowly drain from her face as her confidence came back. She would do it, apologize and make friends. That would make her mistress proud. But first, she couldn't go out today without anything on. Looking around the bedroom for a while, her eyes considered every little thing that wouldn't be missed. There honestly wasn't much to the bedroom she shared with her beloved owner. At least not in the way of fashion of accessories. But still, with a little bit of magic, she could make due. Even if her mistress often hated the accessories she came up with, she would still try. It was important that everypony knew she belonged to her wonderful, kind mistress. An old, tattered scarf, half shoved into a basket of old clothes, caught her eye. Floating it over to herself with her magic, she looked it over. Simple, old, and not much good for anything anymore. But still, it would do all the same. Back down at the front door, Twilight was starting to get tired of waiting for the honestly insane show mare. Chatting with her two friends had taken up a little time, but they were now all wanting to get the day started. She was about to head back up to the bedroom to fetch her lover when she heard the door finally open. Almost afraid to look, Twilight turned to see what sort of contraption Trixie had gotten herself into this time. Thankfully, it wasn't much. A simple black leather collar wrapped tightly around the unicorn's neck, locked in place with a heart-shaped clasp in back. A large, silver ring was mounted in front, and from it dangled a small, but easily seen charm. The little decoration was clearly in the shape of Twilight's own cutie mark. It might as well have been a dog collar and tag. Trixie trotted up beside her mistress, head held high to show off her newest accessory for all to see. "Does.. Does this please you, Mistress?" Trixie asked, a hopeful shimmer in her eye. Twilight could just roll her eyes at the display, but eventually she let out a sigh, thankful the blue mare at least didn't expect her to lead the show mare around on a leash. "It'll be fine, I guess," was the librarian's reply. She was starting to feel a bit embarrassed about going out now. "Please, could you try not to call me 'Mistress'? At least not when we're out in public?" The collar was, thankfully, something that wouldn't seem too out of the ordinary to most other ponies. Still, it was rather sweet in a weird sort of way. "O-Of course Mis- er, I mean, Twilight." Trixie blushed a bit, using her mistress's name just felt wrong to the show mare. Like she was doing something bad. But still, her mistress had spoken, and she would do her best to follow her wishes. They both turned to their two friends, giving them two rather sheepish smiles. Lyra just smiled back, while Bon Bon still seemed annoyed, but she still smiled softly. "Come on! Let's get this started already!" Lyra called out with a heartful laugh, always the adventurous one. Together, the four friends heading off towards the large open-air marked near the center of Ponyville... > Part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ##############################WARNING########################################### This is a side story to 'Trixie's Magic Bit' originally written by Applejinx.

Woo!) Part 2 The warm sun hung high in the sky as the four ponies made their way through town. It's golden rays heating the air, creating a balmy summer's day. There wouldn't be many more days like this one left this year, summer was already winding down, and fall was just around the bend. Still, Twilight was grateful she could spend it with her friends. Well, they may not of been her best friends, but this day was too nice to spend cooped up inside the library. Actually, that wasn't really true, not totally. Trixie had become one of Twilight's closest friends. Except she was quite a bit more than a friend now, even if at times the blue mare was frustratingly embarrassing. Even now, the former show mare trotted along with her head held high, just to draw attention to the collar and tag she wore. The looks and giggles she got just seemed to please Trixie, assuring her that more ponies knew who she belonged to. But they just made the purple librarian blush as they continued towards the market. But Twilight couldn't really complain. Applejack was busy getting an early start on apple bucking season. Rainbow Dash was likely helping with that, or sleeping in one of the apple trees, either one was very likely. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy had both likewise disappeared somewhere for a few days. Fluttershy had mentioned something about some sort of bird migration, and Pinkie had excitedly offered to go with her. Knowing the pink earth pony, it wasn't going to end up being the quite time that Fluttershy was used to. And Rarity, well, Twilight wasn't really sure what she was doing. Something about Canterlot and a client, though the designer had kept the details of it all rather vague. And, of course, Spike was in Canterlot as well. Twilight wondered if the two of them were seeing each other while they were both away. As that thought passed through the lavender unicorn's mind, her dictionary-like brain ended up pulling out other possible meanings for the phrase 'seeing each other'. One of which made her stop dead in her tracks, her cheeks turning a bright shade of violet as she tried to push back the thought and mental imaged by sheer will alone. This change wasn't lost on Trixie either, who let the other two mares continue on by themselves as she stepped back to look at the troubled unicorn. "M-mistress? Is something wrong?" She asked in a low whisper, looking worried as she leaned in close. This managed to snap Twilight out of her mental struggle, the librarian shaking her head to help fling away vulgar thoughts about her little assistant and best friend. "W-what? No, it's nothing. Hehe, I'm fine," she offered with a sheepish grin. Trixie, however, looked crestfallen. "You don't like Trixie's collar, do you?" She said, having come to her own conclusion of what was wrong. Twilight blinked in surprise, reaching a hoof up to rest on the upset mare's shoulder. "No, no! I do, really. It's just, I had something else on my mind, and I'd rather not think about it right now." She smiled back, leaning in to give a little nuzzle to the end of Trixie's nose. "Just thinking about Spike and some of our other friends. It's no big deal." "Ah, yes. Mistress cares so much for everypony," Trixie said, more of her pleasant mood returning after that little nuzzle. "Trixie also hopes that they are all doing well." "Heh, I'm sure they are. And remember, I said not to call me 'Mistress' in public," Twilight said with a little smirk before she started to talk past her lover. "Now come on, we're about to get left behind." Trixie blushed slightly, at both forgetting what her mistress had ordered, and for being reprimanded in public for it. After a moment to compose herself, she took off, cantering up to the waiting librarian. "Y-yes, of course, Twilight! Trixie is coming!" ------------------------------ The market was bustling with activity today. It seemed as if every pony in Ponyville wanted to take advantage of the warm weather. Merchants had set up tables and stands in front of their stores, while smaller sellers had erected stalls between the buildings or in the shade of the few trees that decorated the market square. Everything was being sold, from freshly picked fruits to freshly baked pies. Beadwork and other hoof-crafts, to flowers both grown and folded from paper. There were even a few performers, taking advantage of the large crowd to attract an audience. Twilight couldn't help but smile as Trixie watched another unicorn up on an old wagon perform simple, but entertaining magic tricks. The former show mare had an embarrassed blush to her cheeks, as if she had only now realizes how silly she must of looked when she had done the same thing. Twilight took a step closer, leaning against her lover as she whispered softly into that blue ear. "You were better than he is." The voice was soft and soothing, but also there was a slightly sultry tone. Trixie's blush just deepened at that. Her embarrassed look turning sheepish as she looked down at her hooves for a moment before leaning in herself. Pressing her cheek against Twilight's, she closed her eyes slowly. "Trixie is, now.." The two lovers shared the moment for a while longer before they rejoined their two friends, who had found a photo booth. Lyra had insisted they get some pictures done together, and they had both just finished when Twilight and Trixie returned. Lyra held up the strip of photos, each one showing the couple together, often with Lyra trying to pull some silly face for the camera. Bon Bon pouted slightly next to her as the mint green unicorn displayed the photos proudly. "Those things always make my eyes look green.." the earth mare complained. This just brought a comforting hoof from her lover, pulling Bon Bon closer, within nuzzling reach. "Aww.. Don't worry about it hun. Those baby blues must only be for me." Lyra said, giving her beloved a sly, but comforting smile. This seemed to do the trick, the earth pony melting into that smile as they both nuzzled and kissed tenderly. Twilight and Trixie couldn't help but blush at the display. Trixie found herself leaning just a bit closer to her mistress, thinking about doing the same with the librarian right here, perhaps even more. But before her imagination could run away with her, Twilight spoke up, gently interrupting the lovers' kiss as well. "Um, heh, hey. Why don't we look around and see if we can find something to eat her, hmm?" "Great idea! I'm starving" Lyra laughed, still with one hoof about Bon Bon's shoulders. With that the two couples made their way through the crowd, browsing at the different stands and stalls set up to offer quick, cheap meals. As they went, they also shopped around, every table and stand seeming to offer something new. In the end, Twilight had purchased two new books, sold by a small collector hoping to clean out space for some new items. Lyra had found a new set of strings for her lyre, while Bon Bon had some new spices tucked away in her saddle bag, hoping to use them in a new batch of taffy. Their quest for dinner not yet forgotten, the friends had settled on a small cafe, which had set up tables and chairs out front to offer diners a chance to eat out in the fresh air. As dinner came and went, the four friends talked and laughed, going on about any topic that came to mind. The day, all the things they saw at the market. About what each of them has been doing lately. The sun was starting to get low in the sky, the shadows getting longer as the light slowly shifted towards a warm, pleasant orange. Bon Bon noticed this, quickly finishing her drink with a sense of urgency. "Sweety, would you mind if I go look at something for a bit?" She said, giving a smile as she spoke to her beloved mint unicorn. "I won't be gone long. You just stay right here, ok?" This caught Lyra a bit by surprise, but in the end she just smiled back and nodded, "Alright. Just don't get lost, ok?" she responded with a little wink. At hearing this, Trixie perked up too. She watched as the cream earth mare got up from her seat, starting to walk off back into the market square. This was her chance, if she could be alone with Bon Bon for a few minutes. She could apologize, smooth things over between herself and the earth pony, then her mistress would be so proud when she told her back at the library. With a quickly placed smile, she looked over to Twilight. "Mis- Twilight, is.. Would it be alright if Trixie went with Miss Bon Bon?" She asked in a hopeful voice. Both Lyra and Twilight blinked at that, a little surprised at Trixie's request. Twilight nodded. "Ok, just don't get into any trouble, alright?" At that Trixie's smile grew as she quickly left her half-finished drink and galloped off to catch up with Bon Bon. As the show mare left, Lyra just looked over at the slightly embarrassed librarian, a little smirk to her lips. Twilight could just sigh, her hoof pressed to her forehead with a small shake to her head. ------------------------------ "Is.. Is it alright if Trixie accompanies you, Miss Bon Bon?" Trixie said as she caught up with the earth pony. She tried to put on a pleasant, reassuring face, but in reality she was more nervous than the first time she had gone on stage. Trixie was never one to apologize, much less worry what another pony thought. That is, at least not any pony she didn't consider special in her eyes. Bon Bon let out a rather annoyed, but relenting sigh, stopping in her tracks as she regarded the blue unicorn. "Oh, fine. I guess it's ok." She said, resuming her little trot towards a particular store. "Just don't do anything weird, alright?" "O-Of course! Trixie will behave." This just rewarded the unicorn with an annoyed grumble from Bon Bon as she narrowed her eyes, but other than that she didn't protest as the two got closer to the store. Trixie's mind kept turning flips. What should she say? How should she start this? Would Bon Bon even accept an apology, or would she just get more upset? In the end, with no delicate ways to say it coming to mind, Trixie just gave a sigh and let it all come out. "Trixie.. Trixie wants to apologize.." This made Bon Bon stop dead in her tracks. This was the last thing she expected to come out of the show mare's lips. "Apologize? For.. For what?" "For.. For what Trixie and Miss Lyra did." Trixie's head hung low, too afraid to look the other mare in the eye. "Trixie knows how much Miss Lyra means to you. We wish events did not have to happen the way they did. We.. I am sorry.." Trixie let her voice trail off, eyes closed as she awaited the earth mare's reply. She could be yelled at, forgiven, accused. Just the fact that she had gotten it out made the unicorn feel better. Bon Bon couldn't believe what she had just heard. She chewed on her lower lip a bit as the words ran through her head for a few moments. Eventually, she just sighed, reaching over to place a hoof on Trixie's shoulder. This seemed to bring the show mare around, her ears perking up as she turned to look towards Bon Bon for the first time since she had spoken. "Trixie, I.. I understand. I may not like what happened, but I know why it happened. If.. If Lyra hadn't done what she did, it would of been even worse." She said as she let her hoof rub comfortingly against Trixie's shoulder. Her lips starting to pull into a sincere, friendly smile. "You're forgiven. And I'm glad you wanted to apologize." It took Trixie a moment to let that sink in. She had just apologized, and instead of being accused or hated, this pony had forgiven her, even accepted her. It made Trixie's heart soar, inside she knew she had done her mistress proud. Bon Bon let her warm smile continue. "Now come on. There's something special I need to buy. And since you're here, you can help me pick it out!" The earth pony said as she let her hoof drop from Trixie's shoulder and continued on to the store. Trixie snapped out of her little daze, cantering to keep up as the two of them entered. Inside awaited them a jewelery store. The cases and counters lined with all manner of fine designs. Rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, all crafted by hoof to exquisite detail. Trixie's eyes roamed over each item, the sparkles of the gems reflecting in her eyes. She had worn cheap costume jewelery at times when she had performed, but this was nothing like that. This was the real thing. Bon Bon had made her way over to a display case, slowly looking over and judging each item set out for view. "What are we here to get?" Trixie asked, her eyes still roaming about all the many gems and fine chains. Bon Bon just shrugged at the question. "Oh, I don't know yet. I haven't decided what I'm going to get her." "Her? You mean Miss Lyra?" The unicorn had assumed Bon Bon was shopping for herself, but now that she thought about it, there wasn't any pony else who she thought Bon Bon would buy something like this for. Bon Bon just giggled as she compared two rings. "Of course! I thought I'd get her a gift." "A gift? You mean for her birthday?" Trixie asked, suddenly a bit worried that she should of thought of something to give to the mint green unicorn. "Or is it an anniversary gift?" Bon Bon just shook her head. "No reason. I, well, I just decided I'd like to get her something. Lyra's been so good to me, I just wanted to get her something to show how much I care." she smiled to the blue unicorn, a happy giggle escaping her lips before she looked back to the display case and gently tapped upon the glass with a hoof. His attention gotten, the merchant reached inside and removed the requested item, a set of two horn rings. Trixie thought about this for a moment. Bon Bon was buying something, an expensive piece of jewelery, for Lyra, for no reason other than she cared about her. No reason other than she loved her. Trixie had never really given anything to another pony. Of course, she had never really been in love with any pony. At least, not till now. So lost in thought, she didn't realize she was nodding automatically to a question from Bon Bon. "Oh good! I'd like to see how this looks on a unicorn before I buy it for her." This broke Trixie out of her own thoughts, just in time to feel two rings being slipped over her horn. Looking up, she saw them just in her peripheral vision. The rings were not jeweled, but they were connected by two delicate golden chains. The chains hung slightly, creating two graceful arcs leading from the smaller upper ring to the larger lower one. Bon Bon regarded them for a bit, tilting her head as she tried to picture her beloved Lyra wearing them. After a moment, Trixie composed herself, holding her head up and trying to look regal. "Hmmm.. I think they're lovely." "Trixie would prefer silver instead of gold." "Maybe, but this isn't for you." Bon Bon snorted a bit before getting her composure back. Her mind made up, she told the merchant she'd take the rings. Trixie somewhat reluctantly allowed them to be slipped off of her horn. After a few more moments, they were placed in a bag, secured with a red ribbon. Bon Bon reached into her saddle bag and set out the bits for them. Trixie took note of how expensive those rings were, but the earth pony didn't seem to care, the smile never leaving her face as she handed over her bits and took the neatly tied bag in her teeth. Their purchase made, Trixie and Bon Bon left the jeweler's shop, the earth pony looking pleased with herself as she happily trotted back towards their table and the two waiting unicorns. Trixie, however, hung back a bit, thinking to herself. Thinking about what had just happened. Bon Bon had just bought an expensive piece of jewelery, for no other reason than it was a gift meant for the pony she loved. A gift for the pony she loved. As that thought repeated over and over in the unicorn's head, Trixie felt something gently pulling her to go back into the jeweler's shop and find something. Something for the pony she loved. As that realization dawned on her, another fact came to mind, one that had instantly turned her mood somber. She had nothing. No money, no real property. All the former show mare had was herself, and that she had already given to the one pony she loved. She belonged to Twilight, mind, body, and soul. But still, she couldn't help this feeling, this unreasonable need to give her more. To give her something that truly mattered. Something to express her love for the wonderful unicorn she would give her life for. But still, there was nothing left for her to give. Nothing she could do to buy or find anything to give. But there still had to be something. Something she could give Twilight. Anything. As she kept to her thoughts, she soon found herself back at the table with her two friends and her beloved. It didn't take long for Twilight notice the crestfallen look on Trixie's face. "Is everything alright?" Twilight asked as Trixie took her seat next to the purple unicorn. Trixie didn't look up, still lost in her thoughts. She nodded slightly at Twilight's question. "Yes, every thing's fine, Mistress.." Her voice was a soft whisper, forgetting for a moment that she was in public still. Twilight seemed more worried for her lover than the show mare's momentary forgetfulness. Gently, she reached a hoof over, pulling Trixie closer and letting the blue unicorn rest her head against the librarian's chest. A hoof slowly stroking down that white and blue mane as Trixie looked across the table as Lyra started to unwrap Bon Bon's gift to her. She watched as the green unicorn's golden eyes lit up, seeing the two horn rings. A green glow gently lifted them up from the bag, levitating the rings slowly over the also glowing horn. Lyra's eyes watered slightly as her hooves went around her lover, pulling the earth pony into a deep, tender kiss. When their lips finally parted, Lyra still held Bon Bon in the embrace. "I love them! Thank you so much, baby." Lyra's words were just above a whisper. They brought an embarrassed but happy blush to Bon Bon's cheeks. As Trixie watched, she felt herself warm slightly, her pulse quickening just a bit. A realization had formed, and it slowly pulled her own lips into a happy smile. After letting the idea form fully in her mind she nuzzled herself into the soft fur of her beloved librarian. Perhaps there was something she could give Twilight after all...
