Trixie Helps Victor
The next day, Trixie woke up to a new day. For the night, she chose to sleep in an old shack. She chose to sleep there for the night. She had no particular place to live in. So she just travels from place to place, eventually finding a place to live in whether they be old shacks to caves. She even sleeps in trees.
"I don't deserve more," mumbled Trixie. She's too ashamed to sleep in some pony's house or even a hotel. "Now I know," Trixie thought, "I kept boasting about being 'The Great And Powerful Trixie!' but now, I don't know if I should even keep that name."
She then left the shack that she slept in for the night and wandered off to wherever she is going today. "I wonder what the used to be 'The Great and Powerful Trixie' should do today?" Trixie thought.
Because she was lost in her thoughts, she ended up running into an earth pony. "Oh!" both ponies cried, bumping into each other. "Oh, sorry," they both said at once. "I wasn't paying any attention," said Trixie.
"All right," the earth pony said. He then looked at Trixie. "Hmm," he thought, "A unicorn pony. Almost reminds me of one that I met years ago." "What?" replied Trixie.
"I rarely see unicorns in my life," said the earth pony. "All right," Trixie replied, a bit confused. "It's a long story," the earth pony replied. "I can understand that," Trixie said. "Oh, also, my name is Victor," the earth pony said, introducing himself. "And I'm just Trixie," Trixie introduced herself.
"All right, just Trixie," replied Victor, "I'm pleased to meet you." "I'm glad I didn't call myself 'The Great and Powerful Trixie'," Trixie mumbled to herself.
"Anyway," Victor said, "I must be off now." Victor prepared to leave when he said, "Wanna come with me, Trixie?" "Sure," Trixie answered and followed Victor to a lake. The lake is supposed to be a beautiful lake, but not today. "Well, today," Victor said, "I'm going to help some ponies clear up a lake."
"Ok," replied Trixie. Victor explained that there had been an accident. A carriage that had been carrying a load of paint canisters had fallen into the lake and now, paint turned the lake into a messy rainbow.
"It was an accident," the pony pulling the carriage said. "Well, we'll have to clean up the lake up, nonetheless," Victor said. "Yes, I'll try and help," said Trixie. "Then let's get started," Victor said. "Right," agreed Trixie.
So for hours, Victor and Trixie, with the ponies. Cleaned up the lake. Even though Trixie is a unicorn, she chose not to use her magic. Not even once. "I think it's better this way," Trixie thought to herself. The ponies used nets and buckets to remove all of the pain from the lake.
One of the helping ponies said, "She's a unicorn, but why isn't she using her magic." "The job could have been done in less than 5 minutes," another helping pony said. Trixie continued to do her jobs like the other ponies.
"I'm surprised," Victor said, "You're a unicorn, and you're not using your magic to help." "It's something," said Trixie, "I chose to do it this way." Trixie dared not tell Victor or the other ponies of her recent actions. "If you say so," said Victor. All the ponies continued to clean up the like they always do.
Trixie did not use her magic to help clean up the lake at all. The job took hours, but when it is time for Princess Celestia to lower the sun, the lake had been 100% cleaned from paint.
"Well, done everypony!" Victor said out loud. The other ponies cheered in delight. "With the unicorn's help," said a pony, "And she'd never once used her magic!" "Thank you, Trixie," smiled Victor.
"No problem," smiled Trixie, blushing, "Well, the helping Trixie must be off now." She prepared to leave. "Wait!" said Victor, calling out to Trixie. "Yes?" Trixie replied back. "Would you like to sleep at my place tonight?" Victor asked Trixie. Trixie thought about it for a moment. "I guess so," she answered. "Thanks!" Victor called back, "Follow me!"
"All right," replied Trixie and she followed Victor to a small home as the other ponies returned home as well. "It's better than an old shack," thought Trixie, "Can I really sleep here tonight?" "Yes," answered Victor, "Make yourself at home."
"All right," agreed Trixie, "Do I really deserve to?" "Yes, silly," Victor said with a chuckle. "Yes, then," Trixie replied. So Trixie fell asleep at Victor's home for the night. "That felt good," Trixie thought before she fell asleep, "Helping some other ponies is really great and powerful. I wish I could help some other ponies in the future." Trixie fell fast asleep after that.
