twilightpony | A Trixie Turn Of Events

Starlight called all of us to the Map Room this morning. When all had arrived, we squatted as best we could on our stone chairs to hear what she had to say. She told us about her invitation to her Village's Sunset Festival and she went on to say that she was considering not going because she's afraid of being rejected. She said it had given her a nightmare and Princess Luna had suggested that she come to us for advice. She can't imagine the Village ponies would ever want to see her again after what she had done to them and she was petrified by the thought that once there, she might revert to the control freak she had been before. We urged her to go and we recommend that she take a friend to help her overcome her fears. I hoped that she would chose me but instead she chose Trixie! I had to bite my tongue. Trixie sure has a knack for being in or near Ponyville when Starlight needs the support of a friend. OK, it only happened twice, but Trixie just ruffles my wing feathers.

They have already left and they are hoofing it to the Village, so Trixie can take her wagon. That will probably take them three days to get there, in which case they'll arrive on the eve of the first day of the week-long Sunset Festival. They could have taken the train. I would have taken the train. I would have liked to see what the Sunset Festival was about, although not with Trixie. Certainly not on a three day walk across Equestria with Trixie.

Spike has turned in already and there's a cold wind blowing on the balcony, so I think I'll call it a night too.
