Twilight sat in her study, pooring over scroll after scroll as she tried to figure out her magic detection spell. It would tell her if anypony who could use magic entered the village, except for the princesses. It would also show her who it was that had entered.
Finally, when she was ready, she cast the spell and decided to test it. She teleported outside the village and trotted in. Immediately she felt her horn light up as it detected herself. Then and image of herself appeared before her. Satisfied, she cut off the flow of magic, and headed back to the library to study the stars some more.
Little did she know, a certain Unicorn had been watching her from a bush. Trixie watched her leave, and wanted so badly to enact her revenge there and now. But she knew it would require more planning. She immediately headed back to her little shelter she had erected not to far from the village that had spurned her.
She entered and pulled out a book. She wanted her revenge so badly, but as she looked at the book full of images of the purple mare, she felt that feeling again. She couldn't do it. For some reason, the fact that Twilight had stood up to her in a way nopony else had, made her feel strange. Trixie wishes she could tell you how she feels. she thought to herself.
Trixie sat there as a tear began making a path down her cheek. She wiped it away. No, she couldn't cry like this, She was the Great and Powerful Trixie! She could easily go and tell her how she felt. Steeling her resolve, she left her shelter and entered the village, unaware that she had set off Twilights spell.
Twilight watched as the familiar Unicorn trotted throught the town square, headed for the library. What is Twixie doing back here? she thought curiously as she waited outside the door. Suddenly the Unicorn came into view.
Trixie trotted up to the unicorn who had captured her heart. She had come up with an idea to get closer to her.
"Hello Twilight." she said, using her usual tone of arrogance.
"Um, Hi Trixie, Why are you here?" she said, the annoyance in her voice was unmistakeable.
"Well, you see, Trixie realized when you ran her out of town, that she was not very good with magic. Trixie wishes to study under you and learn more about magic." She said, turning her head so Twilight wouldn't be able to see her blush.
Twilight eyed her cautiously.
"I don't see why I can't teach you some of what I know, But first, we need to work on your attitude, and that annoying habbit of refering to yourself in the third person." she said as she invited her in.
"Trixie would like to thank you Twilight." she said as she entered.
"Thats what I'm talking about, you need to learn to stop refering to yourself as 'Trixie' all the time." Twilight commented.
"Trixie is-I mean, I am sorry." she said, trying not to call herself by her own name.
"Thats a little better, Follow me." she said as she entered a room and had her follow her up the stairs. She pulled a book of the shelf titled Magic: The Basics.
"We'll start you on this. This book contains everything you need to know about basic magic, which you must master before moving on to more advanced levels of magic." she explained.
Trixie was confused.
"Um Twilight, Trixie alrea-I mean, I already know all this. Why must Trixie-I mean, why must I learn this again?" she asked. Trying her hardest not to refer to her name.
"Ok then lets test you on what you know." she said as she had Trixie complete a whole wide range of tasks, using only magic. Trixie flawlessly completed them all.
"Ok, so you've got tha basics down. Now to teach you the teleportation spell." she said as she handed her a sheet of paper.
"On that paper is the spell. I want you to memorize it by friday, and then i will test you on it. And Trixie, Please don't do anything stupid." she said as she headed up.
"Um, do you think I could stay here? I only have a small little shelter outside the village, and it's really lonely out there." she said, looking with a puppy dog pout at the frowning mare.
"I guess you could use the spare bed." she said as she pointed out a bed over in the corner of the upstairs room.
"Thanks so much Twilight. Trixie is very happy." she said.
"Ugh, we'll work on it." Twilight mumbled to herself before going to bed.
Trixie sat there and watched her accend the stairs. She was glad that Twilight hadn't caught her staring at her flanks, which, despite her being a bit of a bookworm, were well formed. She blushed as certains thoughts graced her mind. She wanted so much to tell Twilight how she felt, but she was worried what she would think. Or if she would even like her back. She looked down at the paper and saw the long spell scribbled on it.
This is going to be a long week she thought to herself as she headed up to the spare bed. It was surprisingly comfortable, much better than the one she had clumsily made in her little shelter. She lied her self down and looked longingly over at Twilight as she slept.
Soon, Soon Twilight she thought as she passed out.
When she awoke, she looked over at twilight's bed and noticed it was empty. She got up and trotted down the stairs and found Twilight burried nose deep in a book. She looked around and noticed that something smelled really good.
"Twilight, do you have something cooking?" she asked.
"Actually spike is cooking something to eat for you right now. I already ate." she said as she resumed her reading.
Trixie trotted into the kitchen where Spike was fixing eggs and dafodil sandwhiches.
"Mmmh, that smells amazing." she said, startling the small purple dragon.
"Oh, it's you." he said, a sound of irritation adorned his voice.
"I understand if you still hate Trixie." she said, "Trixie is-I mean, I am sorry." she said, Trying her best to do what twilight had told her to do.
Today was going to be a looooong day, She could tell.
