Finally the ursa major had been defeated, and Twilight let out a petite, humble sigh of relief. She turned to Trixie, who had collapsed onto the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

"I'm so sorry Princess Twilight!" Trixie sobbed uncontrollably. "I never should have been such a boastful jerk!"

"It's okay, Trixie," Twilight said soothingly. "I'm sure you had your reasons, even if they were misguided."

Trixie sobbed uncontrollably. "You're too forgiving, Princess Twilight..." she wiped a tear from her eye, her uncontrolled sobs waning slightly. "The truth is..."

"It's okay, you can tell me," Twilight said calmingly.

"Well, the truth is..." Trixie lifted her head, her tear-filled gaze locking onto the smart princess. "The truth is I'm a lesbian, and I was afraid that everyone would think I wasn't as good as the not-lesbians unless I bragged a lot."

The egalitarian princess gasped. "Why, Trixie! That's just wrong! You should always be proud of who you are!"

"Yes, you showed me that." Trixie wiped away another tear. "That's not why I'm sad."

"Then what is it?"

Trixie's voice was barely a whisper. "I'm sad because...because I love you, but I know I'll never be good enough for you."

Princess Twilight's wings dropped. "I'm sorry Trixie. I promised myself I would never have a special somepony before I got married, because chastity is important." She lifted Trixie's head "But I can always be your friend."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Oh, thank you Princess Twilight! You're my best friend!" Trixie cried.

Author's Notes:

This is my favorite season 1 episode because twilight and I are both shy and humble but still good at everything. I wasn't even gonna fix it, but then I realized it could still be better.
