As I mentioned before working on some content for the Final Mix version of this story. This is an opening I created. Play the song from this video for the music and setting.

A flyby view of through the mountains leads through Canterlot and its population before finally settling on Ponyville as the locals could be seen going about their day.

Naruto is standing on a cliff into a desolate valley as his hair and clothes blew in the strong wind. His mind drift to his past life as a human being, memories of his friends and family. Learning the truth of what he truly was changed his perception of everything.

The Main Six and Ditzy are standing in the background with worried expressions on their face. They wanted to help Naruto and knew they couldn't.

Luna is standing on a plateu with the moon in the sky behind her. Her face is covered by her hair as an image of Nightmare Moon is behind her. It fades into nothing. Luna still struggles to overcome her past. Her sins to this day hunting her.

Celestia is on top of Canterlot Castle at the hour of Twilight. She overlooks the town with a solemn expression. She looks to the horizon. She thinks about all the threats to Equestria in the form of Nightmare Moon, Discord, and the Nightmare Children and wonder if she'll have the strength to protect everypony.

The Elements find themselves in the ruins of a ravaged town fighting off the Nightmare Children.

Naruto and Perfect Storm shoot across the field trading blows. Nearby Twilight teleports away as Midnight chases after her with beam blasts hitting stray trees.

High above Rainbow Dash and Hot Streak are trading Wing slices in the air.

Rarity and Vanity are firing gems and knives at each other dodging the mayhem the strongest magic users on both side were causing. Rarity uses her magic to fling some direction in the direction to help one of the herd.

Pinkie Pie is dodging Tricky's machete slashes using the debris Rarity uprooted to dodge and kick one of the flying rocks at Tricky.

Applejack leaps off the side of a boulder dodging Rockhead swinging a tree at her to which he unintentionally hit Tricky. .

Fluttershy leaps over Adrenaline Rush as he tosses a vial that causes something to explode.

Then the image of the seven elements in armor marching together are going down the road of a ruined Ponyville as they readied to face a transformed Midnight and Nightmare forces. The Seven leaped into battle the final battle at end.

Trixie was proving to get along with Twilight pretty well. The two seemed to always going over some spell or theory together as Trixie would go on about her shows or Twilight about her school work.

Though in order to grow Trixie would need more than one constant friend henceforth Naruto began putting more of an effort in spending time with Trixie.

The nature of the relationship would soon grow.

"Trixie doesn't understand why are you so interested in buying Uzumaki a gem. Stallions rarely care about that sort of thing." Somehow the topic of their discussion had became that of gifts.

"I wanted to surprise him with something nice. He got me this nice moderate gem, but I suppose I may have to rethink my strategy. I do know exchanging gifts is some couples do."

"Trixie does not see the point of it all. Courting that is."

"The point?" By the expression on Twilight's face you would think that Trixie insulted the idea of reading. "Trixie, having a special somepony completes your life. A special somepony is somepony who makes you smile and laugh out of genuine desire to see you happy. Its somepony you would do almost anything for and it's a special bond that makes certain things in life so much better. Seriously, you don't know what you're missing," the astute students eyes were practically sparkling.

"Trixie doesn't need a special somepony that wastes her time and empties her pockets. She has gotten this far without a sompeony. Besides Trixie finds it hard pressed to believe there are ponies who are just gentle, loyal, and generous for the sake of it. Nearly everypony wants something or another. Trixie will never fall in love." Trixie said as she looked away. She once promised herself to only date somepony who was good enough for her.

"Trixie I am more than sure there are wonderful and generous ponies out there. It'll take time, but if you're willing to put in the time I know you'll find them."

"Well I will not find any in this town." All the good ones seemed taken and the rest probably had no idea what she looked like above her waist area.

"Give it time Trixie. There is little evidence to support the idea you will find a coltfriend right away, but being open to the possibility will help." Twilight hoped that Trixie would take heed of her words, but the stage mare had a stubborn streak to her.

It was almost the time Naruto said he planned on spending time with Trixie and she hoped the interaction will see to it that the mare will relax more and open up to them.

"Just be patient Trixie, trust me, it'll be worth the wait." He said as he led the show mare down the path into the forest.

"Trixie will believe it once she sees it Uzumaki." They had been walking for nearly half an hour now and she was growing annoyed at how dodgy the blond was being in regards to answering her questions.

They came to a stop as Naruto held up his hand and cautioned her to wait. Their path was blocked by what looked like a ponymade covering of strawn together foliage.

"Miss Lulamoon I present you with the traveling cart version two." He pulled it back and revealed something that made Trixie's jaw drop.

Her cart. Just as it was before. No, even better. It looked brand new, the wood finer and the sheets clean.

"But… how…?" Trixie barely managed to say.

"Only the outside is the same, didn't see what it looked like on the inside, but I assure you its better…"He was nearly knocked over as the mare dashed by him to examine the inside. A bed. An honest to Celestia bed instead of a hammock. A small dresser and trunk devoid of lousy repairs. An uncracked mirror.

The parsley items she had gathered were replaced with better versions.

"Y-you r-recreated it?" she asked, joining him back outside.

"Yes. Twilight told me the reaction you had from the hat and cape I figured the caravan must have been important to you too. I even reused some of the wood from the old one." The magician pony found Naruto's voice sweet for some reason and her heart skipped a beat after she'd finished speaking. She found herself unable to tear her gaze away from the smiling face of the stallion. Before she knew it, she hugged the stallion host. That was unexpected.

"Th-thank you…" Trixie said, her grip tightening. She hadn't hugged anypony and meant it…she couldn't remember the last time.

"I have given those who have committed horrible sins a second chance Trixie because they were willing to change. How could I ever respect myself and boast the values I do if I wasn't willing to extend that same courtesy to you? I would like to think of us as friends Trixie and I do everything I can to be right by my friends."

After several seconds had passed, Trixie let Naruto go. She stared into his eyes, genuinely smiling. "So now you know its here and can visit it anytime." This forest area was small, but separate from the Everfree meaning the dangerous wildlife was of a minimal threat level.

Twilight had been right after all. This action was kind and generous. And out of genuine want of being her friend and giving him a second chance.

Twilight Sparkle.

Naruto Uzumaki.

There were ponies out there Trixie could trust after all.

That night Trixie found herself dreaming a particular dream.

In hat and Cape Trixie was bowing before the audience. Their cheers loud and synonymous. Chanting her name! They adored her.

For now this show like all the others had reached its end and Trixie had to go backstage leaving her darling fans behind.

"Amazing as always Beatrix."

That name. Only one pony could be allowed to call her that name.

Naruto approached her, a romantic gaze settled on the performer.

"Yes that is true." She replied playfully and without a hint of her characteristic arrogance.

Their faces were mere inches away. Trixie blushed hard and kept smiling awkwardly, making Naruto grin. " My Beatrix, you're far too cute when you're blush." Trixie opened her mouth to say something, but she found Naruto's lips on hers as he clasped her cheeks. Trixie was happily returning the kiss.

In the real world, Trixie was smiling, muttering 'Naruto' in her sleep.

The following morning Trixie found herself dealing with new feelings. She knew what they were.

The stallion known as Naruto was handsome, courageous, and strong. He also proved kind and loyal. And from what she could gather from around her wise as well. Not to mention he had a large herd, one of the members being a Princess and a close connection to Celestia herself.

If there were flaws to him she would know until she got to know him better. Recent news of his decision to adopt a filly had saw it that he was now spending less time around the library as he was setting up his a room for the filly in his home.

A disservice as instead of those heavenly muffins the only thing for breakfast was cereal as Twilight Sparkle could not cook. How anypony managed to make a soup cold and a salad hot was beyond her comprehension. Well okay there were such things as cold soups, but the salad thing was not so easily forgivable.

Either way there was only one pony to go to for advice. So she went to Twilight. "Trixie needs your advice…" She had barged into the mare's room startling her and nearly causing Twilight to spill ink on the scroll.

"Good afternoon to you too Trixie. Why yes I am indeed busy thanks for noticing." Normally Twilight would not have been so cross with anypony but she did not like being interrupted on projects, especially when they were so close to completion. "What do you need help with?"

"About how to confess your feelings to somepony…"

Twilight widely opened her eyes, Trixie looked away blushing when she saw her.

"Already? Wow that's…wow. I was not aware there was anypony in town you associated with."

Trixie suppressed the urge to groan. "Trixie hasn't seeing as most of the members of your esteemed town rather wishes she didn't exist."

"Well who could you…" Twilight paused as the answer hit her. "T-Trixie I had no idea you felt that way. I…I have not explored the idea of being with mares that way." Twilight covered her mouth with her hand to avoid blowing her cover. It was a harmless little joke and she couldn't resist. Looks like Naruto was rubbing off on her. Oops. There went thoughts she should not be happy in polite company. Or any company at all.

Trixie let out a frustrated groan and her cheeks redden. "Not you Sparkle! Insinuating that Trixie has designs on you…"

"I'm kidding! I am kidding Trixie!" She blurted out as she could see the mare was worked up to the point she was about to go into a tangent. "It was a little joke."

"I did not think a pony like yourself would joke Twilight." Trixie noted, her cheeks still slightly puffed and her brow narrowed.

"What can I say, certain members of the herd have been an influence on me. So? Naruto right? Oh boy the girls are going to have a field day with this."

Trixie nearly slapped herself. She had forgotten half the herd either disliked her or was more or less neutral. Her only real allies were Twilight and Pinkie Pie. The dress maker would be the biggest obstacle. Forgiving somepony and letting them access to your mate was something different altogether."

"What do I do…?" Trixie asked with such a sad tone and face that made Twilight feel really bad for her, Trixie indeed had feelings for her stallion or at least a crush. No maybe crush was too soft a word. Knowing Naruto the way she did he probably wooed mare with a gesture while not grand touched the mare's heart in a specific way that illicit strong feelings from within her.

"Okay, I'll help you." The librarian said after seconds of silence, making Trixie smile a bit. "First of all, you need to be completely honest with Naruto. Do not think about failure, but expose yourself and trust he will do right by you. Let your interest be known and set down the foundation for him to court you." She paused after the strange look Trixie sent her. "I know, where he came from it was predominantly stallions courting and pursuing mares." Trixie made have still quirked her brow, but seemed to accept what she was saying. "If you are anything but genuine in your intentions then you have ruined your chance. If you really do care about pursuing him I hope you know you will have to go through Rarity first if you want to take things beyond dating."

"How did you do it?" It was Twilight's turn to blush.

"W-Well…Naruto was the one to pursue me. I have never been the best at the romantic part of the issues and I am still working on it. Trust, Honesty, and Respect goes a long way in this sort of thing. All of us, the herd, even after all this time we're still getting used to this. Trying to understand and work through our faults. Supporting each other with our strengths and covering each other's weaknesses. We have done things to hurt each other's feelings and acted without thinking. Nopony is perfect, but what makes us work is that no matter what flaw we discover that we are all working towards solving them. To be kind and generous to each other. To express our thoughts to each other honestly. To share our emotions and thoughts empathically. To stand by each other loyally. To embrace the joy we bring each other. All of that makes and strengthen our bonds or friendship and love. Its something we spend everyday cherishing and fighting for. It makes us who we are and why we have been able to do the amazing things we do. So if you feel you can be there and take the good with the bad Trixie then I will support you every step of the way."

"That…that was beautiful Twilight." Trixie was almost moved to tears. The mare…she had been so passionate. Never had she heard so much dedication and unbridled joy from the pony's voice then the way she heard Twilight talk about their herd…their family.

Lifelong love. Friends. Family. Eternal bonds. For ponies who cared about Trix…no about Beatrix. She wanted that more than anything.

"Sparkle, you lucky mare… What you have is amazing… Trixie wants that…" The magician pony said, slightly smiling and blushing.

Twilight turned. "Then, what are you waiting for? Go, find Naruto and speak with him."

"Trixie…is unsure. Its so soon. Our first meeting almost end in a duel. What…what if he thinks I am like the other hussies in town?"

Hardly a day passed without some fangirl didn't try to throw themselves at a member of the herd. Usually out of towners. The lustful gazes were also rather commonplace as well, almost as often as the uncertain ones or those with awe. She now understood why Applejack had been in a foul mood when she came over the other day and why Trixie was glad she stayed out of sight.

While there was a lot of positive attention and benefits from their status there came a lot of negativity with it. In all honestly you could probably calculated that they had a percentage rating of positivity ranging from support, awe, or other such views ranging from lusting or endorsement at seventy-percent and those who were neutral or uncertain around twenty percent. It was that last ten percent that were extremely stubborn and vocal that made up a small demographic over all, but their negative behaviors and ideas not to mention how persistent and frequent they were that made perceptions skewed to how many they were.

Say if one had forty-five normal fans that hardly bothered them and five ultra-crazy fans, but every day three to four of the fans would bother them every day with only one or two of the fans occasionally bumping into them once a week it would be easy to see how the numbers could be muddled from the view point.

"Then the best thing would be to simply be his friend and spend time around him. That means you're going to have to start leaving the library more and socializing with the other Elements."

"Twilight…" Did she really have to point out the reason why it was a bad idea? Trixie felt a bit ashamed. Like she was a filly again afraid of being caught and cornered by bullies. Her word or standing was practically dirt, and against two of their nations heroes? She might as well be digging her own grave.

"I will talk to Applejack and Rainbow." She soothingly told the mare as she placed a comforting hand on Trixie's shoulder. "Rainbow has already been warned by our Alpha not to be so brash to the future. So you come to me or her if there are any problems and it'll be sorted out okay?"

Well that made her feel a little better. "Alright…" The old her would have been too prideful and blind to accept the help, but that what got her in this situation in the first place. Keeping herself in checked kept leading to more positive things happening so she would continue working on being a better pony.
