Description
It was a pleasant summer’s day. The sun was shining, the sky was clear (save for a rainbow trail following a blue blur every now and then), ponies were out enjoying their Saturday off from work/school, and there was a peaceful vibe in the air.

As Rarity levitated her cup of tea to her mouth, she took in the pleasant aroma, and let out a deep sigh of satisfaction before drinking the hot beverage. She had no commissions to be working on, Opalescence was with Aloe, being groomed, and Sweetie Belle had decided to play with her friends today, instead of visiting her sister.

Not that Rarity had a problem with Sweetie Belle paying her a visit every now and then, but today, she was free to just sit back and relax. Something that she had not been able to do for a long time.

‘This is simply lovely,’ Rarity thought to herself, leaning back in her chair as she drank some more of her pleasant tea. ‘No distractions… no worries… today is just going to be a me day.’

The jingling sounds of the store’s front door sounded, distracting Rarity from her tea. “I’m terribly sorry, but the store’s closed today,” Rarity said as she turned away from her tea, and faced the pony that had dared to intrude on her day off. “There is a sign outside that says ‘closed’.”

“But this is an emergency!” the pony shouted, walking inside and closing the door behind her. Rarity’s eyes widened as she laid her eyes on the blue-coated, silver-maned Unicorn mare before her. “The Great and Powerful Trixie’s cape is ruined, and she is out of material to fix it!”

Rarity shot up to her hooves, taking care not to drop her cup, or spill any of the inside of it, and reeled back from the blue mare standing in her shop. “You! What do you think you are doing here?!”

Trixie levitated her hat off of her head, and placed it on the hat stand by the door. Apparently, she hadn’t paid any attention to Rarity’s obvious displeasure to her being there. “As Trixie said, she needs some material to repair her cape! And she is aware that you carry such materials, so she has decided to come here to acquire some.”

“And why should I give you any?! How could you even come back here, after what you did?!” Rarity placed her cup of tea gently down on the table beside her, and started to slowly approach the other mare, glaring angrily at her. “First you turn my mane that awful green! Then you force me to wear that horrid dress! You’re lucky I’m going to give you the chance to leave peacefully!”

Trixie raised an eyebrow at the enraged mare before her. “Really?” she asked, a confused look on her face. “The Great and Powerful Trixie banishes your friend from your town, and that’s what you’re angry about? Some green dye that washed right out in your mane, and a silly little outfit?”

“Well, naturally I’m angry about you banishing Twilight, too,” Rarity said, blushing slightly from her outburst. “Nevertheless, I can never forgive a crime against fashion, and you have committed two against me!”

“You’ve got to admit, they were pretty funny,” Trixie said, snickering slightly as she flicked her mane. “The Great and Powerful Trixie’s magic is truly beyond compare! You should feel honoured that you were able to experience it firsthoof.”

Rarity’s glare didn’t falter. In fact, it grew more intense by the second. “Get. Out.”

Trixie’s smile faded, and she quickly opened up her cape to revealing a gaping hole inside of it. “But Trixie’s cape! Look at it! You can’t expect the Great and Powerful Trixie to walk around in something like this, can you?!”

“Then don’t wear it,” Rarity said flatly.

“Absurd! Would you asked Starswirl the Bearded to not wear his magical attire? Would you ask the Princesses not to wear their tiaras?!”

Rarity slammed a hoof to her face. “You can’t honestly be comparing yourself to the Princesses.”

“Of course not!” Trixie shouted defensively. “They would be lucky, to even come close to matching Trixie’s greatness and powerful… ness…”

“You mean power?” Rarity deadpanned, receiving a blush from the blue showmare.

“A-Anyway! The Great and Powerful Trixie must wear her cape at all times! But she can’t have this huge hole be in it! It’s… a crime against fashion!”

Rarity’s ear twitched, and her attention shifted to the hole in the cape. “… It means that much to you?”

“The Great and Powerful Trixie would sooner die than take off this cape!” Trixie shouted, bringing her cape up to her face and nuzzling the fabric.

Rarity rolled her eyes. ‘What a drama Queen…’ She then turned around to look at the tea lying on the table behind her, and then at the piles of fabric lying next to the table. With a sigh, she turned back to Trixie, who was now looking at Rarity expectantly. “… Very well, then. I shall do what I can.”

Trixie’s face practically came to life, and she looked like she was about ready to leap forward and hug the white mare. “Under two conditions!” Rarity continued, bringing a look of confusion to Trixie’s face. “First, you apologise for turning my mane green before-”

“The Great and Powerful Trixie will do no such thing!” Trixie shouted, startling Rarity and prompting the dressmaker to quickly cover her mane. However, she relaxed when she saw no hints of malice in Trixie’s eyes. “The Great and Powerful Trixie was merely defending her show! She will not apologise for something that she was not at fault over… But if you are willing to push the memory to the corner of your mind, then Trixie is willing to do the same.”

Rarity put a hoof to her chin. “Are you saying… we simply forget that moment, and start anew?” Trixie nodded, and Rarity considered it for a moment. “Well, I guess that, if you’re willing to make peace, it would be simply rude of me to decline. Very well, I shall accept this compromise.”

Trixie smiled and extended her hoof. Rarity cautiously stuck out her own hoof, and shook it. “And the other condition?”

“… Make me a new cup of tea,” Rarity said looking over her shoulder at her old cup of tea. “I’m afraid the glass that I poured out earlier has gotten cold, and I would like you to make a new one for me whilst I work.”

Rarity turned back to face Trixie, expecting to see her fuming, and then to hear her decline, and storm out of the shop. Instead, Trixie, still smiling, simply nodded. “Very well then! Prepare to be amazed, as the Great, and Powerful Trixie, prepares the most amazing, wonderful tea that you will ever drink!”

Rarity wasn’t sure what to say. She never expected Trixie to actually accept her condition. She watched as Trixie began to make her way towards the kitchen, and then, a few minutes later, Trixie came back, carrying a cup of tea in her magic.

“Bon appétit!” Trixie said, bowing theatrically as she presented the cup to Rarity.

Rarity took the cup into her own magical aura. “That’s for meals, darling. Not drinks.”

Trixie scowled at the white mare. “It still counts!” she defended. “Now drink it already!”

Rarity eyed the tea cautiously. Could Trixie have put something in it? Should she have Trixie taste it first? She then looked back up at Trixie. ‘… No. She may be rude, but she’s certainly not… mean.’

With a gulp, Rarity brought the cup to her mouth, and began to drink… She then pulled the cup away from her quickly, and stared wide-eyed at the smug mare in front of her. “This… This is good!” Rarity stated.

“Was there ever any doubt?” Trixie asked. “Now, about Trixie’s cape?”

Rarity took another sip of her tea, savouring the great taste as it filled her mouth. Once she was finished, she placed the cup down, and turned her attention to Trixie’s cape. “Very well then. A deal is a deal, after all. Now, if you’ll kindly remove your cape for me, I should have it done in a jiffy!”

“T-Take it off?” Trixie asked, before shaking her head. “Trixie told you! She won’t take it off, ever!”

Rarity narrowed her eyes and frowned at the mare. “And how would you suggest I work on it whilst you’re wearing it? It will only be for a short while!”

Trixie looked around the shop, seemingly panicking at the thought of having to remove her cape. She noticed a changing room in the next room, and rushed over to it, quickly being followed by Rarity. “Hey! I never said that you could go back there!”

Trixie entered the changing room, and locked it from the other side. A few seconds later, her cape was thrown over the top of the door, and landed on Rarity. “There! Now hurry it up! The Great and Powerful Trixie feels naked without her cape…”

“Naked? But-Oh, never mind! I’ll just get this done, so that you can leave…” Suddenly, a thought crossed Rarity’s mind. “By the way, how much are you paying me for this?”

“… Pay?”

Applejack extended her hind legs out, giving the tree behind her a hard buck and causing many apples to fall down. “Yee-haw! At this rate, ah’ll be done before lunchtime! An’ then ah think ah’ll take the rest of the day off, it bein’ a Saturday an’ all.”

“Hey,” a voice called out to her. “Do you know where the library is? I seem to have gotten lost.” The voice sounded disgruntled, but Applejack still put on a smile as she turned to address the pony.

“The library? You a friend of Twi-iiiii?! YOU!” Applejack pointed a hoof at the blue-coated, silver-maned Unicorn mare standing before her, and Trixie glared back at Applejack.

“Yeah, me! Get your damn hoof out of my face!” Trixie shouted, growling at the orange mare.

“What are you doin’ here?! And what d’you want with Twilight?!”

“Nothing! Don’t jump to conclusions!” Applejack was taken aback by the volume, and the tone, of Trixie’s voice, but she still firmly stood her ground, glaring daggers at her. Sparks flew between the two mares, and Trixie let out an irritated huff as she turned her head to the side and folded her forelegs. “I’m just after a book, that’s all! I asked somepony in town for directions, but of course, I would have to ask the most stupid, moronic, directionally-challenged pony EVER!”

Applejack rubbed a hoof against her ear. “Ah think you’d better calm down, missy, before ah lose mah temper mahself.”

“Screw you!” Trixie spat back, surprising Applejack with her language, and causing the farm pony’s eyes to widen. “Just point me in the direction of the damn library, and I’ll be out of your hair! I won’t have to deal with you, you won’t have to deal with me, friggin’ win-win!”

Applejack glared daggers at the blue mare, not caring one bit for her vulgar language. On the other hoof, though, she was right; if Applejack just told Trixie where the library was, she wouldn’t have to deal with her any longer. The problem with that plan, however, was that then she would be Twilight’s problem.

“You expect me ta believe that you jus’ wanna go ta the library to borrow a book, an’ not try an’ get revenge on Twilight, like ya did the last time you were here?”

“Ugh! I’ve already got past that phase! I’m just trying to get my life back on track, but you bloody ponies won’t freaking let me! That stupid nerdy little egghead has nothing to do with it, though, so don’t assume I would just go after her because of my past!”

Applejack eyed her suspiciously. “If ye’re tryin’ ta convince me ye’re not mad with Twilight, ye’re not doin’ a good job.”

“I’m mad at you, because you’re not answering my question! I’m mad at that damned Pegasus that sent me this way! And I’m mad at all the freaking ponies that just make assumptions of me based off of my past, and won’t even look past ONE. LITTLE. INCIDENT!”

Applejack took a step back when she saw Trixie’s horn light up for a second, but then relaxed when she saw the light die down. “… Ye’re right,” she said, surprising Trixie. “Everypony deserves another chance, and ‘sides, y’all never did anything too bad… Least not when ya weren’t being cursed by an ancient evil artefact. An’ ya’ve certainly not done anything warranting ponies laughin’ at ya, and drivin’ ya out of their towns.

“But ya should probably do somethin’ ‘bout that attitude of yers. Otherwise, it’s only natural that ponies won’t give ya a cha-”

“UGH! What are you, my freaking mum?! Just tell me where the library is!”

With a sigh, Applejack raised a hoof, and pointed past Trixie. “Just keep going straight in that direction, and when ya see the giant building that looks like it’s made of sweets, take a right down that street. Keep goin’ straight ‘til ya reach the town square. There’ll be a fountain with a statue of Princess Celestia there. From there, turn left, and the library will be straight down the street from there. Y’all will recognise it when ya see it; it’s a giant tree. Very hard ta miss.”

Trixie took a few seconds to memorise the directions, and then nodded her head. “Thanks,” she mumbled, before turning around and walking away.

Applejack watched her leave with a nervous look. ‘… It’s fine. Twilight will be able to handle her.’

“GAH! FUCKING ROCK!”

‘… Maybe…’

After a hard day’s work clearing the sky, any Pegasus would feel that they were entitled to a good, long nap to rest up and unwind. And even though Rainbow Dash was off duty today, she still felt that a good nap right now would be just what she needed.

And so, after flying to her favourite resting spot, by the Ponyville lake, Rainbow Dash stretched her hooves, applied some sun block onto her skin, donned her ‘Twenty-Percent Cooler Shades(trademarked)’, and lay down on her back, ready to enjoy a nice, long nap.

“R-Really miss! I’m not interested!” a voice called out from behind the rainbow-maned Pegasus. Rainbow Dash lifted her shades up above her eyes, and turned around to see what was going on. In the distance, she saw a stallion running away, a panicked look on his face.

“Wait! Darn it! How’s a girl supposed to get laid around here?” From behind a tree, the owner of the second voice emerged, and then turned around to see Rainbow Dash staring at her.

Rainbow Dash quickly bolted to her hooves. “YOU!” she shouted as she lowered her head, assuming an attacking stance, and pawing the ground with her right forehoof. She glared down the blue-coated, silver-maned Unicorn mare that was approaching her, ready to tackle her at any moment.

“You’re… Rainbow Bash, correct?” Trixie asked, smiling as she stopped just short of Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow Dash,” she corrected, growling at the blue mare before her. “What are you doing here?!”

“What? I’m not allowed to go near a lake without being questioned?”

“I mean, what are you doing in Ponyville?! After what you pulled, I’m surprised you have the nerve to come back at all!”

Trixie frowned at the rainbow-maned Pegasus. “Now that’s hardly fair. That cute friend of yours told you about the amulet, didn’t she?”

“‘Cute friend’?” Rainbow Dash asked, not sure if she had heard her correctly.

“You know, Twilight Sparkle! And besides, she forgave me, and it was her that was banished!” Trixie put a hoof to her chin, and leaned forward, bringing her face closer to Rainbow Dash’s as she narrowed her eyes.

“W-What? Get away from me!”

Trixie pulled back, and smiled once again. Only this time, it was a sultry smile, with her eyes half-lidded. “Actually, now that I think about it, you’re pretty cute, too.” Rainbow Dash’s eyes widened, and before she could say anything, Trixie lunged forward, and connected her lips with the Pegasus’.

Rainbow Dash was too shocked to do anything initially, but after the first few seconds had passed, she tried to pull away. Trixie wasn’t making it easy, though; she had put her hooves around Rainbow Dash’s neck, and was pulling the Pegasus into the kiss. Rainbow Dash started pulling harder and flapping her wings in an attempt to fly out of Trixie’s grip when she felt the other mare’s tongue pressing against her lips, attempting to part them in order to gain entry.

Trixie knew what Rainbow Dash was up to, and her horn lit up as a purple aura enveloped the Pegasus’ body. Rainbow Dash felt herself being pushed down to the ground, and continued trying to resist the kiss.

‘Oh, come on! How long can she hold her breath?!’

After enough effort on Trixie’s end, the Unicorn was finally able to slide her tongue into Rainbow Dash’s mouth. She swirled it around for a bit, exploring the Pegasus’ mouth and enjoying her taste.

Eventually, Trixie’s stamina hit its limit, which Rainbow Dash was convinced didn’t even exist, and she had to pull back for some air. A thick strand of saliva kept their tongues connected for a second, before splitting as Rainbow Dash pulled her head away, panting for air and giving Trixie a mixed, dazed look of surprise, confusion, and partial interest.

“Y-You… What was…”

Trixie licked her lips, and leaned forward once again, startling Rainbow Dash, but stopping just short of the other mare’s face. “Well, a little sloppy… but I think you could be a great partner, with some practice.” Trixie then moved her mouth towards Rainbow Dash’s ear, and whispered: “How about it? You want me to rock your world?”

Rainbow Dash snapped out of her daze, and pushed Trixie away, before flapping her wings to gain some lift, allowing her to hover in the sky above the Unicorn mare below her. “W-What that hell?! How could you just-”

“C’mon, Dashie,” Trixie said in a seductive tone, bringing a hoof up to her mouth and giving it a slow, sensual lick. “I can tell you liked it. We’re all alone out here, and it’s so nice out…”

“S-Stay away from me!” Rainbow Dash shouted as she flew even higher, raising her hooves defensively as she glared down at the pony below her. “What’s with you?! You come all the way to Ponyville, just to do that to me?!”

“Actually, I came for a different reason,” Trixie said, and then, after a moment of silence, let out a giggle. “Heh, ‘came’.”

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes, her face still beat red from Trixie’s earlier action. “Very mature,” she said sarcastically.

Trixie gave the flying Pegasus another sultry grin. “Oh, trust me. I can be very mature, Dashie.”

“AGH! Stop calling me that! It gives me the creeps!”

“Hmmm… Come down here, and I might.”

“No way! In fact, I’m outta here!” With that, Rainbow Dash quickly flew past the Unicorn mare below her, and made her way quickly towards Ponyville in the distance.

“Playing hard to get? Trixie liiiiiikes,” Trixie said, before charging after the rainbow-mane Pegasus. “You won’t get away, Daaaaash-ie!”

Fluttershy was outside in her garden, holding her watering can in her mouth as she sprayed water over her tulips. Today was so peaceful, and the happy little Pegasus pony was humming merrily to herself as she tended to all of her plants and flowers outside.

She heard hoofsteps behind her, and quickly finished up her watering before turning around to see who it was.

“Those flowers are beautiful… That’s nice. I wish I was that pretty…”

Fluttershy frowned at the sad tone of voice from the pony behind her, and readied herself to comfort the mare, a reassuring smile spreading across her face. However, her smile quickly grew to shock, as she beheld the blue-coated, silver-maned Unicorn mare now standing before her.

“Y-You!” Fluttershy shouted, before covering her mouth with her hoof, and shying away from the blue mare a little bit. “I-I’m sorry,” she said, her voice more quiet this time. Trixie didn’t answer, and Fluttershy scuffed a hoof on the ground nervously. “Um… C-Can I help you?”

Trixie looked up at the timid Pegasus before her, and Fluttershy was surprised to see the look of sadness on her face. Trixie then turned her attention to the cottage behind Fluttershy, and the yellow Pegasus followed her gaze. “That’s a nice house… I wish I had such a nice place to live, like that.”

Fluttershy turned her attention back to Trixie. “Um, I’m sure wherever you live is quite nice, too.”

Trixie smiled at that, prompting Fluttershy to smile in return. “That’s nice of you to say. But where I live will never compare to this lovely house you have here… with the beautiful garden, all of your cute pets, your-”

“They’re not my pets,” Fluttershy quickly corrected, cutting Trixie off. “Oh, um, I’m sorry, but some of them don’t like being called pets, so…”

“My apologies. Then, they’re your roommates?” Trixie asked, raising an eyebrow.

Fluttershy nodded. “K-Kind of. I take care of them, you see. It’s… my special talent, taking care of animals.”

“… How nice,” Trixie said, before sighing as she looked over her shoulder and towards her flank. “I wish I was good with animals. It sounds like you get along so well with them.”

Fluttershy smiled a little more, and nodded once again. “I do. They’re all my dear friends, and we all have so much fun together.”

“Friends… I wish I had friends.” Trixie sighed again, before turning her attention back to Fluttershy. “I’m sorry, but could you point me in the direction of the library? I’m afraid I received some bad directional advice from a Pegasus pony in your town, and I wound up here.”

“The library? Are you looking for Twilight?”

Trixie shook her head. “I’m just looking for a book, that’s all. I mean, it would be nice to talk to Twilight again, but… I don’t think she’d be willing to, after what happened last time.” Trixie gave yet another sigh, and this time, lowered her head so that she was facing the ground beneath her hooves. “I wish I had the confidence to talk to Twilight, or maybe somepony to do it for me.”

Fluttershy approached the down mare, and wrapped a wing around her, surprising Trixie at first, and then downright confusing her when she began to nuzzle her. “W-What are you-”

“I can help you, if you’d like,” Fluttershy said softly, still smiling at Trixie, who simply looked bewildered by the Pegasus’ words. “It’s not fun when you want to talk to somepony, but lack the courage to do so. I know, because I’ve been there before. But my friends… they’ve helped me out with that problem, many times. This time… I think, I’d like to be the one helping somepony else, who has the same problem.”

“Y-You’d really do that for me? Even though you hardly know me?”

Fluttershy nodded, and then nuzzled Trixie once more. “Sometimes, we all need to be shown a little kindness.” After that, Fluttershy began to walk down the path leading away from her house. “I’ll take you to the library, and I’ll help you talk to Twilight, if you want.”

Trixie smiled, and followed Fluttershy down the path. “Thank you. I wish I had your kindness…”

Pinkie Pie hopped into Sugarcube Corner as she sang her favourite song: Smile, Smile, Smile. As she entered, she spared a moment to greet all of the ponies that she passed on the way. “Hi, Roseluck! How’s business?”

“Good morning, Pinkie Pie,” Roseluck said as she placed her coffee down. “Business is great! Thanks for asking.”

Pinkie Pie then trotted past a purple Earth Pony mare. “Heya Berry! Is Pinch’s cold any better?”

Berry Punch nodded, smiling at the pink mare. “She’s doing great, Pinkie Pie.”

“I’m glad! Being sick is no fun!” Pinkie Pie moved past the next table, which had a pile of dishes, plates, parfait glasses, and bowls all stacked up on top of each other. “Wow, clean up in aisle eight!” she joked, giggling as she tried to look past the mess to see who was responsible for it. She gasped at what she saw.

“YOU!” she shouted as she jumped back from the blue-coated, silver-maned Unicorn mare on the other side of the table. She then quickly put her hooves over her mouth, shielding it from the Unicorn’s magic.

“Oh, Pinkie Pie!” Mr. Cake called out as he approached the table, carrying thirty cupcakes on a tray on his back. “Thank Celestia you’re here! I know that today is your day off, but would you mind helping out in the kitchen? This customer has us overworked right now!”

“Hey, can I get some more ice-cream next?” Trixie asked as approached Mr. Cake. “Ooh, those cupcakes look gooood’.”

Trixie’s magic enveloped the tray, and she brought it over to herself, before beginning to scoff all of the tasty treats down. Pinkie Pie almost cringed at the scene before her. Trixie was just shoving those cupcakes into her mouth, possibly not even bothering to chew before swallowing.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Pinkie Pie asked. “Did she order all of this? By herself?”

Mr. Cake nodded. “Yes, she did. And incidentally…” He turned his attention back to Trixie, who had just finished the last of the cupcakes and was now patting her stomach, whilst licking her lips. “… Miss, I’m sorry to interrupt your… meal… but I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you for your payment, now.”

“… Payment?” Trixie asked, blinking a few times before giving the two a sheepish grin. “O-Oh, right… that…”

Mr. Cake narrowed his eyes at the blue mare, and Pinkie Pie quickly bounced up to her, practically shoving her face into Trixie’s. “You weren’t thinking of dining and dashing on us, were you?” she asked, giving Trixie a suspicious look.

“O-Of course not,” Trixie replied, laughing nervously. “I-I have the money, but it’s, um… outside?”

Pinkie Pie narrowed her eyes further, closing the distance between herself and Trixie, and causing the blue mare to sweat nervously as she backed away. “… Okay-dokey-lokey!” Pinkie Pie shouted, suddenly backing up and smiling widely. “Then, I’ll go with you to get the money! That’s okay with you, right, Mr. Cake?”

Mr. Cake thought about it for a second, and then nodded. “Very well then. Just make sure she pays in full… Here is her current bill.”

Pinkie Pie was handed a long slip of paper by Mr. Cake, and gaped at the number that she saw at the bottom. “HOLY MOLY!” she shouted. “She spent this much on sweets?! She’s broken even my record!” Pinkie Pie scrunched up the paper, and shot a glare at the mare behind her. ‘That won’t do! I’ll have to start saving up… But first, I have to make sure that she pays!’

“W-Well then, I guess we’d better get going?” Trixie said. She got up out of her seat, and began to leave the store, followed closely behind by Pinkie Pie. “SORRY!” she shouted, and a moment later, Pinkie Pie’s vision was obscured by a bright light. As soon as she could see again, she saw Trixie running away from her, down the street.

“HEY!” Pinkie Pie shouted, quickly giving chase after the Unicorn mare. “GET BACK HERE, YOU!”

Rainbow Dash flew through the town as fast as she could, turning down various alleyways and taking cover behind various ponies and objects. “This is insane! I have to get lose her somehow…”

Rainbow Dash noticed the Golden Oaks Library not too far from her, and smiled with relief as she began to make her way there. She reached the library, and practically kicked the door open with great force. Inside, she found the purple Unicorn mare that tended to library standing at her podium, reading a book that was perched on it.

“R-Rainbow Dash? What’s-”

“Twilight, you have to hide me!” Rainbow Dash interrupted, quickly slamming the door shut behind her. She took a moment to check out of the window by the door, and then breathed a sigh of relief. A thought then crossed her mind, and she then turned back to her friend in the room. “We’ve got a major problem, Twilight!”

“I know,” Twilight said. “Trixie, right?”

“No, it’s-” Rainbow Dash stopped, and gave Twilight a confused look. “Wait, how did you-”

“So noisy…” a voice next to the Pegasus said, startling her and causing her to jump back in fright. “Can you keep it down? I’m so tired…”

Rainbow Dash examined the blue lump lying on a pile of cushions of various colours. “Y-YOU! How did you get here?! You were right behind me!” Rainbow Dash then felt a something tugging the back of her mane, followed by a sharp pain, and she yelped as she quickly turned around to see what it was. “W-WHAT?!”

Behind her, another Trixie was standing with a smile on her face, examining a strand of rainbow-coloured hair in her hoof. “Such a natural hair colour is so rare! I simply have to have this!”

Rainbow Dash stared with her mouth hanging open as Trixie wandered over to a small fort made out of books in the corner of the room. Trixie pulled out a shoebox, opened it up, and placed the strand of hair inside. Rainbow Dash then turned around again, and sure enough, there was another Trixie still there behind her, lying on a pile of cushions with her head buried in her hooves, her chest moving up and down steadily.

“W-What’s going on?” the bewildered Pegasus asked.

Twilight shook her head. “I don’t know. I tried to ask them, but that one-” She pointed to the napping Trixie. “-Just keeps saying that explaining it would be too tiring, and that one-“ She pointed to the Trixie that was currently looking through one of Twilight’s bookshelves. “-Is too busy taking my books to make her fort. She said that their ‘leader’ will explain when she gets here, but-”

The door behind Rainbow Dash swung open suddenly, startling all four of the ponies inside. Rainbow Dash turned around to see who it was, but was suddenly tackled to the ground by a blue blur. “GAH! W-Who are you?! What’re you-”

“Okay, Dashie! I’ve finally got you!” Rainbow Dash’s blood froze as she saw the new Trixie that was on top of her, pinning her down as she grinned menacingly at the captured Pegasus. “I caught you, so now I want my prize.”

Before Rainbow Dash could say anything, the Trixie on top of her slammed their lips together, once again forcing the Pegasus into a deep, passionate kiss. Behind her, Rainbow Dash could hear Twilight yelping and backing away, before mumbling something incoherent. She imagined the poor egghead was going into shock, seeing something like this…

‘D-Darn it! Why is she… so good at this?’ What started out as Rainbow Dash trying to push Trixie away, soon evolved into her holding Trixie’s forelegs tightly, as she started to return the kiss being given to her, slowly easing into it as Trixie guided her tongue with her own.

“How nice,” a voice said, prompting Trixie to end the kiss and look behind her. When Rainbow Dash managed to regain her senses, she also looked to see who the interloper was, and, of course, it was another Trixie, this one looking like one of the Crystal Ponies before they were lifted from King Sombra’s curse. “I wish I had somepony special in my life…”

The Trixie on top of Rainbow Dash grinned, and quickly climbed off of the Pegasus, freeing her and allowing her to crawl back away from her. She then placed a hoof under the other Trixie’s chin, and slowly leaned in. “Here, I’ll give you what you want.”

Rainbow Dash and Twilight both gasped as both of the Trixie’s began to kiss each other, both of them far too shocked by the whole situation to think of what to say. Thankfully, somepony else spoke up first.

“Oh… my…” The two looked past the two Trixies, to see their friend Fluttershy standing beside them, her face red as she tried to look away from them. She noticed her two friends looking at her, and quickly walked over to them. “Girls? What’s going on? Why are there one, two, three… four Trixies?”

“GET BACK HERE AND PAY YOUR BILL!”

The three non-Trixie ponies turned to the entrance of the library when they heard the familiar voice shouting at the top of its lungs. “Pinkie Pie?” Twilight asked.

“I SAID GET BACK HERE!”

The two Trixies at the entrance of the library stopped making out so that they could see what all of the fuss was about. Suddenly, yet another Trixie came bolting by, and took cover behind one of the other Trixies. “Hide me!”

“STOP RUN-” Pinkie Pie stopped when she reached the library, and looked over the five Trixies with a shocked look on her face. She then narrowed her eyes, and approached the nearest Trixie, which was the one that the newest Trixie was currently hiding behind. “Don’t think your illusionary magic will work on me! Pay your bill, right now!”

“Bill?” the Trixie being yelled at by Pinkie Pie asked, before looking over at the Trixie behind her, who giggled sheepishly as she started to retreat into the library. She then turned back to Pinkie Pie, and leaned closer to her, wrapping a hoof around the pink pony’s neck. “Ooh, I see… Terribly sorry, but I have no money right now.”

“WHAT?!” Pinkie Pie shouted in anger.

Trixie put her other hoof to Pinkie Pie’s mouth, and gave the pony a sultry look. “But, how about, I pay another way, Cutie Pie?”

“W-WHAT?!” Pinkie Pie repeated, this time in shock.

“WHAT?!” Rainbow Dash also shouted, glaring at the Trixie that was currently seducing Pinkie Pie.

“Why are you getting worked up?” Twilight asked. “At least she’s not forcing herself on you anymore.”

“I-I know, but… I-It just… kinda feels insulting that she kissed me, and then threw me away for somepony else…”

Twilight rolled her eyes. “Oh, please. What are you, eleven?”

“FORGET IT!” Pinkie Pie shouted. “If you wanna get in bed with me, you’re gonna have to pay your bill first! And we don’t accept bodies as payment!” The Trixie hanging off of Pinkie Pie leaned forward, and planted a kiss on the pink pony’s lips. A full minute later, she pulled back, but Pinkie Pie’s glare didn’t falter. “We accept cash or cheque.”

Trixie’s eyes widened. “Wow. You’re good.”

“HEY! MOVE IT!” Pinkie Pie turned around to see a sixth Trixie standing behind her, fuming as she glared the pink pony down. “I said MOVE! I want to go into the library!”

Pinkie Pie glared back at the new Trixie. “A ‘please’ would be nice. And a smile, for that matter!”

“SCREW YOU!” The new Trixie pushed Pinkie Pie and the other Trixie aside with her magic, and then stormed inside the library. Rainbow Dash and Twilight were immediately on guard upon seeing the violent action, and eyed this new Trixie carefully. “GLUTTONY! What was the one thing I told you before we separated?!”

The Trixie hiding in the fort built by one of the other Trixies poked her head up, and faced the newest Trixie with a nervous smile. “Um… I believe it was: ‘Don’t spend a shit ton of money on food!’, right?”

“AND YOU COULDN’T EVEN DO THAT!” the angry Trixie bellowed, her horn glowing as she lowered her head to point it at the now-cowering Trixie.

“Don’t you dare!”

“Oh, come on!” Twilight shouted as yet another Trixie entered the scene. This one was different from the others, though; she was wearing her signature hat and cape, which the others weren’t wearing.

“You will not harm the Great and Powerful Trixie! She is a being of superiority, and must be treated with nothing less than absolute respect and admiration!”

“Cram it! Move aside, or I’ll kill you, too!”

“Wrath, calm down!”

“Ooh, a cat fight between Pride and Wrath. I like it.”

“I wish I had the courage to stand up to Wrath…”

“Whoever dies, I’ve got dibs on their stuff!”

“There any food around here?”

“Too loud…”

“E-NOUGH!” Twilight shouted, stopping the ramblings of the seven Trixies, who then all immediately turned their attentions to the librarian. “Now, just what is going on here?!”
