Trixie's Dark Forest Path

The day after Trixie helped a group of ponies clean up a lake, Trixie prepared to leave. "Where are you going?" a helper pony asked. "I must choose my own path now," Trixie explained, "But I may return one day."

"We hope so," Victor said, "You've been a really wonderful help to all of us." "Thank you for your kind words," Trixie said, "And thank you for your hospitality and shelter for the night. But now, I must go."

"All right," said a pony, "We're not going to stop you then." "Then goodbye," said Trixie and she left. "See you soon," smiled Victor. So once again, Trixie was on her own. "All right," she said, "Now where shall I go?"

"Wait a minute!" a pony ran up to Trixie. "Yes?" asked Trixie. The pony gave Trixie a map. "Victor asked me to give this to you," the pony explained, "It's a map of Equestria. He'd thought you could use it. Bye again!" Trixie looked at the map.

"Well, that is really thoughtful of him," she thought and opened the map. "I can make my own choices now," she said and looked at the map. She studied it. "There's Ponyville," Trixie said, "But I don't know if I could ever go there again."

So she chose a different path. "I choose this path," Trixie said, going down the road that, of course, does not lead her to Ponyville. "This is a better path for me," thought Trixie.

Hours later, Trixie entered a deep, dark forest. "This isn't the kind of path that I was asking for," Trixie said, "And I'm not the Great and Powerful Trixie!"

Right now, she is all alone. No light shone through the branches and leaves of the tall trees, taller than the real world Redwood trees. "What's no light to me?" Trixie said. Then she heard a branch snapped.

"What was that?" Trixie asked, "Who's there?!" No one replied. She heard even more noises. "Ok, whoever is there," said Trixie, starting to get scared, "Leave me alone!" The noises continued on.

"Ok, forget it," said Trixie, "I'm not going anywhere!" So, lost in the big, dark forest Trixie eventually found a large hole in one of the big trees. "Big enough for me," Trixie thought.

Thought uncomfortable, Trixie made herself home in the tree. At lease it's safe in here," Trixie said, "Not cozy, but safe." Eventually Trixie fell fast asleep. It turned out that what was really making all those noises was really a little bunny.

But Trixie doesn't know that.
