Me: Sorry I haven't worked on JoT or CaM in a while. Creepy and Mysterious is going to be rewritten in a while, and Journey should have it's next chapter out soon.

Strawberry Sunrise: So basically, never.

Me: I said sorry! Trixie disclaimer.

Trixie: PokeSpencerMan doesn't own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Chapter 2: Banishment

Trixie Lulamoon had not been expecting guests that day. She sat on her wooden chair in front of her desk on the side of the room with the only window. She held a quill in the air with her magic, wondering what to add to the letter she was writing to an old friend of hers. There were stacks of paper lined up against the wall on the floor in an unorganized manner. The stacks circled the round room, crowding the already small space inside her prison of a castle.

She heard a knock at the door, which startled her slightly. "Come in. The door is opened." The door creaked as it was pushed open. The pony who had opened the door was an earth pony with a green coat and a red mane. There was also another earth pony and a pegasus. She then saw the young foal on the green pony's back. "Oh dear. He's hurt." She pointed out, even though the fact was obvious. "Allow me to help."

The green earth pony was silent, almost in awe. Trixie lowered her horn and used a simple healing spell she had learned. The colt awoke, falling off the pony's back. "What are your names?" Trixie asked.

"Peachy Sweet."

"Strawberry Sunrise."

"Tealove."

"Snails." The young colt was dazed, and looked around constantly. His cutie mark was, as his name would suggest, a snail.

"Very well. I am Trixie Lulamoon." And with that, Trixie sat back down at her desk and picked her quill back up. The companions looked at each other, curiously yet also nervously. "Well, what is it? Go on, spit it out. I'm working on an important letter for Starswirl."

"Starswirl the Bearded?" Repeated Tealove. "Didn't he die over a thousand years ago?"

"Oh, really?" It was hard to tell what Trixie was thinking from her face, showing some strange mix of surprise and confusion, but all the while keeping a straight face. "Such a shame. I keep forgetting pony lives have expiration dates. I do suppose that explains why he hasn't been writing back." Trixie turned back to her unexpected guests.

"Excuse me, Miss Lulamoon?" Squeaked Peachy, nervous to be speaking with a unicorn.

"You may call me Trixie, yes?"

"Where are we?" Trixie pondered this question for a few seconds, as if she were unsure.

"Either the Everfree Forest, or the Frozen North. I can't remember which."

"It's the Everfree Forest, but I meant this castle." Trixie snorted, not insultingly, but as if she didn't believe what Peachy Sweet was saying.

"Castle? This is my eternal prison until Twilight either dies or develops a heart, and I'm both betting on, and hoping for the former."

"The Princess? She put you here?" It was Snails. "Why?"

"Because she is a terrible pony, that's why." It was clear Trixie didn't want to talk about the Princess, so nopony continued the conversation.

"Where did you learn that healing spell?" Asked Strawberry. "I thought spells like that were forbidden, even for unicorns."

"They are. The entire upper floor is a library. The spellbooks that weren't burned are here." The other ponies looked around at the room, for there were no stairs that could lead to another floor. Trixie's magical aura lit up around her horn, and a trap door on the ceiling opened upwards. A book floated down through it. "You can take it if you want. I've already memorized it." She was obviously speaking to Snails, him being the only other unicorn.

"Thanks." He said with a curious expression, grabbing the book with his own magic.

A sudden howl startled the ponies. Trixie looked out the window. "You should probably be going. They've sent beasts."

"Where do we go?" Asked Peachy.

"Go to Dodge Junction. It's Southeast of here. Take a train to Canterlot."

"Why Canterlot?" Questioned Strawberry. "Wait a minute, why are we trusting you? We don't even know you!"

"Trust me."

"There's no way I'm going to Canterlot!" Tealove argued.

"Then stay here. I can only hide one of you." There was an awkward pause for a couple seconds, until Peachy Sweet broke the silence.

"Then, farewell Trixie, Tealove."

"Farewell Peachy." Tealove returned.

So an earth pony, a pegasus, and a unicorn headed Southeast blindly, not knowing if they were escaping death, or approaching it.


When the Timberwolves had gone away, Tealove asked Trixie why she sent the others to Canterlot.

"It was either a hunch, or destiny. Who can be sure."

"That doesn't exactly answer my question."

"Then reword your question."

"How did you know that it would be a good idea for them to go to Canterlot?" Tealove said clearly.

"I already told you, I didn't." Trixie stared out her window silently before continuing. "I took a chance, and only time will tell what side the coin will land on."


Me: Sorry it's a little fast paced. Also, I don't want any reviews saying that I messed up Trixie's personality. There is a reason.

Trixie: He just hasn't thought of it yet.

Me: Review.
