She generally comes over to show you some new trick she's been cooking up. >The only difference now is... well... >"Anonymous! Trixie cannot wait forever! Trixie thought she explicitly told you to be dressed and ready for our first date." >You're currently in the bathroom of the library, trying to get a tie to cooperate. You've never been good at getting these things to work. >At least you look good in the suit. "Just gimme a minute Trixie, I've never been good with ties." >"Open the door." >With a sigh, you stop fiddling with the devil's contraption around your neck and make your way to the bathroom door. >When you open it Trixie barrels in with a huff, "You are hopeless, allow me." >With a glow of her horn, your tie starts to move all by itself. >It only takes her a second to be finished. >She smiles in satisfaction, "There, now you are worthy of being Trixie's date." >In response, you reach out and ruffle her mane. >Her face immediately goes red, and she frowns, "Stop that! Trixe did not ask to be pet like an animal." "Okay, this better?" >You lean down and give her a quick kiss. When you pull away she's even more red than before, but this time she doesn't have anything to say. >With a satisfied smile, you straighten her mane out for her. "Where are we going tonight anyways?" >"To see a comedian." >You blink. "What?" >"Trixie said we are going to see a comedian. There is a restaurant with good food nearby that has contracted a comedian to preform for them." "Ha, I never imagined you were one for comedy." >"Be silent, Trixie laughs!" "Sure you do. Alright, we might as well get going. Don't wanna be late to the show on my account." >You leave the library with a quick goodbye to Twilight, Trixie hot on your heels. >She guides to to the east side of town, to a rather fancy looking place. >You've never been here before, but you've heard Rarity gush about it a few times. It just looks like a generic 'reservations required' restaurant to you. >When you go inside with Trixie, this is confirmed. >Some fancy decorative carpet, and showy chandeliers everywhere. >A stallion dressed in an extremely nice suit and bow tie is there to greet you at the door, "I'm afraid we're all booked up tonight, do you happen to have a reservation?" >Your marefriend smirks, "Of course Trixie has a reservation." >"Ah, the lovely showmare and her guest. My apologies, I've never been to one of your shows." >Trixie smiles, "Well, since you're so polite, perhaps Trixie will give you a discount on her ticket next time she's in town." >You can't help but feel a bit proud of her. Old school Trixie would never have give an offer like that a single thought. >"I would be delighted madam. Your table is this way." >As you're led to your seats you see the stage the comedian will be performing on. It looks like they just put it up at the edge of all the tables. >The place is rather crowded, apparently this guy is really good at making people laugh. >You sit down with Trixie, and she smiles at you, excitement in her eyes, "I've always loved watching other showponies." >Whenever she gets really comfortable like this, Trixie let's the third person talk go, and really seems to open up with you. >It's at these times when your talks can become a bit more intimate, and not just in a physical way either. "It reminds you of your mom." >Still smiling, she nods, "Yes, I suppose it does." "Have you considered hiring a partner?" >"Hmm?" "A partner. I could help you out. I know a few tricks from Earth that I could practice, and I'm sure you have faux magic shows here." >"That we do." "It would also be nice to not only see each other on the weekends." >The waiter returns, a plate with two glasses of water balanced on his hoof. >He sets it gently on the table and smiles at both of you, "Are you both ready to order?" >Same as always. "I'll just take a salad with some egg, thanks." >"Trixie will have the mushroom soup and some hay please." >"Alright, I hope you enjoy your evening." >And with that, the waiter is gone again. >Trixie sighs and smiles, floating the cup of water to herself and taking a drink. "I think I would like to work with you Anonymous." >It would be weird, traveling on the road, but being with Trixie would make up for that. >You'd miss Twilight and the other girls, but it's not like you'd be leaving Ponyville forever. >After all, the girls are Trixie's friends, also. "I think I'd like that too." >Silence falls between the both of you. It's not an uncomfortable or awkward silence, but a content one. >Eventually, the waiter returns with your food, and you thank him as he departs. >Almost as if on cue, the curtains on the stage start to spread apart, and a voice booms through the restaurant, "Everyp0ny, put your hooves together for Cherry Shirefeld." >Your eyes go wide. >No, no anyone but him. >"Anonymous, what's wrong." "Uh... nothing, everythings fine, why'd you ask?" >You force a grin. >Trixie frowns, "Are you sure? You look ill." "Yeah, totally fine. Nothing wrong here." >Oh God you hope he's funny. This night could be ruined. >A stallion trots out on stage with a curly brown mane and white coat, "What's the deal with carriage drivers?" "Fuck." >Trixie looks at you with a glare, now knowing for a fact that something is wrong. >"Anonymous, do you know the stallion on stage?" "I know enough about him to know that he's the most unfunny asshole ever." >She frowns, "Surly he can't be that horrid." >Almost by divine providence, the Seinfeld clone points a hoof excitedly at Trixie, "Hey, hey aren't you that showmare everyone's been talking about?" >ohboyherewego.jpg >Trixie eyes him wearily, "Yes. The Great and Powerful Trixie, what of it?" >All eyes in the restaurant are turned towards the both of you now. >Shirefeld waggles his eyebrows, "Well, didn't know you were into monkeys." >A few chuckles are heard, but that's it, just a few. Nobody in their right mind would find this guy funny. >Across from you, Trixie is starting to fume. >You're not a pussy worshiper or a white knight by any means, and Trixie looks pissed enough to take on an army, so you pick up your glass of water and take a few drinks from it. >Trixie pulls away from the table, her horn already glowing, "Normally Trixie would wipe the floor with a stallion like you." >There's a few murmurs in the crowd, ponies are starting to get rustled. >Trixie makes her way to the stage, a smirk on her face the entire time, "However, a lesson in showmanship should suffice." >This should be good. >She doesn't have her normal cape and hat, just her makeup, but you're pretty sure even without that she'll quickly get him booed out of here. >Trixie stands on her hind legs and spreads her forehooves. >A shower of colorful sparks and miniature fireworks come from her horn, followed by a string of blue light that snakes its way through the crowd. >You think you hear a few, 'Ooooo's. >Trixie lands back on all four of her hooves. She turns to you and gives you a wink, causing you to chuckle. >She turns towards Shirefeld now, a smirk on her face. Her horn starts to glow once more, and starts sparking with the energy she lets off. >You know what this is. >This is the first trick she showed you after three hard days of practice. >The light of the restaurant seems to go dark, almost as if it's being absorbed by the spell. >Shirefeld's eyes widen in fear. >With a crack, the entire place lights up, and Trixie's spell explodes. >A shimmering blue dragon erupts from her and charges at the horrible comedian. >Never in your life have you heard a scream of utter and primal fear, at least not until today. >Shirefeld runs from the restaurant, scrambling past tables with the fake dragon hot on his tail. >"AHHHHHH!" >You think you hear a few ponies in the crowd laughing as he runs for his life. >Shirefeld makes it out, and the dragon pulls up above the crowd, exploding in a shower of colorful fireworks. >The stomping of hooves is the only thing that you can hear as Trixie takes her bows on stage. >"Thank you, thank you! The Great and Powerful Trixie is delighted to provide entertainment tonight." >The crowd isn't calming down, and neither are you. >You're clapping like crazy. >You've yet to go to one of Trixie's shows, but now that you've seen a bit of it you make a mental note to remedy that as soon as possible. >After the excitement dies down, the manager from the restaurant takes the stage. "We apologize to everyone for this evening. As compensation, ponies may have one free entree' and a drink. Thank you for choosing the finest food in Ponyville." >Trixie makes her way back to you, smiling the whole way. >You grin. "You enjoyed that way too much." >Instead of sitting down, she walks right to you and stands on her hind legs, giving you a deep kiss. >She pulls away with a laugh, "Thank you for the lovely evening Anonymous. Shall we finish our dinner?"
