- >A swaying blue unicorn wearing a star-studded cape tries to open the door to her wagon.
- >She squints her eyes and notices that her door looks an awful lot like a shut window.
- >That's when she looks beside the window and sees a familiar door shaped object.
- >With a knob and everything.
- >Carefully, with the grace of a minotaur in priceless antique store, she pushes the door open.
- >It creaks and reveals near total darkness.
- >The only two light sources coming from the middle of the wagon.
- >Fumbling for the light switch, the blue unicorn remembered she doesn't have one.
- >But she did remember she is a unicorn.
- >So she cast an adequate spell of illumination.
- >Shining a light on the scene before her.
- >A finely decorated table with delicous looking salads gracing the plates.
- >Two candles that were nearly burnt down to the base.
- >And a very upset looking purple unicorn sitting on the other side.
- >"...Starslihgt?"
- >"What are you doing in the dark?"
- >The blue unicorn still swayed back and forth.
- >As if she would be going down for the count any second.
- >The annoyed looking mare on the other side of the table rubbed her head with her hoof gently.
- "Trixie, do you have any idea what time it is?" Starlight's gaze could burn a hole through concrete.
- >But Trixie stood there with her mouth slightly agape.
- >Obviously not prepared to think in the state she was in.
- >"Night...time?" she chuckled
- >Trixie's eyes went wide as if she solved cold fusion on the spot.
- >"Starslihgt!"
- >"You would not believe- hic - night Trixie had!"
- "Yeah, you wouldn't believe mine either" Starlight grumbled.
- >The purple-ish mare stood up from the table, and walked over by Trixie.
- >Shielding her eyes from Trixie's still bright horn.
- >"Shorry" Trixie apologized as she dimmed the light a tad.
- >Starlight continued to scowl in Trixie's direction.
- >"...Wait, you sheem mad " Trixie rubbed her eye with her front leg.
- "Mad's not the word I'd use but please, go on" Starlight was about ready to pounce.
- >She was just waiting for the right moment.
- >The confused, hiccupping, blue unicorn looked from the table, back to Starlight.
- >This went on for a few minutes.
- >Then, on one more pass between the two the wheels in Trixie's head began to spin.
- >"Oh...oh crap"
- >Starlight slapped her hoof to her forehead disapprovingly.
- "I told you I was making dinner for us when you got done with your show today"
- "Five times if you want to be exact!" Starlight scolded Trixie.
- >Trixie's ears drooped as she felt her smile from earlier dip into a frown
- >"The shstagehands invited Trixie out to csh-csh...congratulate Trixie on her latesht tour"
- >"And-hic- Trixie may have had a few too many cidersh" Trixie lied down on the floor of her wagon.
- >Looking exhausted.
- "A few?!" Starlight was on the verge of exploding.
- "Trixie, you smell like a goddamn apple orchard!" Starlight's face turning red.
- >"Hey, eashe up Glim" Trixie held a hoof out towards the fuming unicorn.
- >Without looking down, Starlight smacked it out of her face.
- "No I will not, "Eashe up" not when I've put a lot of effort into making tonight special."
- >Trixie may have been slightly intoxicated, but she still knew that whenever the vein in Starlight's neck pulsed.
- >Trouble was a brewing.
- >"Trixie will make it up to you in the morning" she yawned.
- >That only made Starlight's scowl deeper.
- >Her pupils were like pinpricks.
- "That's what you've told me the last time this happened."
- >"And the time before that, and the time before that one." Starlight leaned her face close to Trixie's muzzle.
- >Her hot, angry breaths bouncing off Trixie's face.
- "When are you going to make it up to me Trixie?!" she viciously whispered
- >Trixie's eyes opened wide as she realized Starlight was inches away from her face.
- >"...Tomorrow" she averted her gaze away from Starlight's piercing eyes.
- >Nothing but the sound of Trixie's hiccup filled the wagon.
- "Is tomorrow ever going to come Trixie?" Glimmer asked while stepping off of the floorbound drunk.
- >There was an odd, quiet calm to Starlight's anger.
- >She knew how to control her temper.
- >Most of the time.
- >"...Trixie knowsh she's a sshrewup"
- >Starlight looked behind her with an unexpecting look in her eye.
- >"Trixiessh not a good pony" her next hiccup sounded wet.
- >"Shessh, jussht like her daddy" she swallowed a sob.
- >Starlight froze in place.
- >She recalled the day Trixie opened up to her about her father.
- >It was a topic she hated talking about.
- >She was practically on the verge of tears telling Starlight about it.
- >His name was Jack, Jack Pot, and he lived to chase the high of performing in front of crowds.
- >Even at the cost of his wife and child.
- >And seeing Trixie on the floor.
- >Defeated, a mess, and more importantly lost.
- >Starlight's temper cooled down.
- >She quietly took a seat next to Trixie's shivering form.
- >With her front leg, she reached out and gently stroked the back of Trixie's disheveled mane.
- "...Trixie, you are anything but a screwup" Starlight cuddled Trixie close.
- "You're one of the best ponies I know" she nuzzled the slightly damp face of Trixie.
- >Trixie sniffled in response.
- >Her big, azure, eyes shimmering under her hornlight.
- >"Then why did Trixiessh daddy leave her?"
- >Starlight could feel her heart tear into two.
- "Shhshhshh, I don't know Trixie" Starlight turned up the comforting tenfold.
- "All I know is he made the biggest mistake of his life" she kissed Trixie's cheek
- >Starlight had a feeling that tonight Trixie would end up in tears.
- >She was hoping to be the cause of them for once.
- >Instead of the booze.
- >Trixie scooted closer to Starlight and wrapped her front legs around Starlight's warm body.
- >They slightly trembled.
- >Trixie's hornlight dimmed a little more until just the two cuddling unicorns were the only thing visible in the wagon.
- >Starlight noticed on the table that the two candles finally burnt themselves out.
- >That's when Starlight noticed she didn't hear Trixie's sobbing anymore.
- >She looked back down and there fast asleep, was Trixie.
- >Cuddled against her side like a pillow.
- >Starlight's heart put itself back together from the sight.
- >Using her magic she tucked in Trixie's cape around them both.
- >And before Trixie's light dimmed out completely
- >"Love you Trixie"
- >She kissed the top of the sleeping mare's forehead
- >"See you in the morning"
- >And as she said those words, Trixie's light went out.
- >Enveloping the two in an oddly cozy blanket of moonlight from the window.
- >As if to let them both have sweet dreams.
