Trixie sat in her chair while Scribble and his son Sketchy retold the tale of how Trixie saved them and their friend Lyra from a vicious timberwolf attack. Trixie of course being her old self took the praise as well as one would expect of a mare with an ego the size of the sun, and full of just as much hot air.

"Well! Trixie sure was the amazing pony that day!" she said pridefully.

Sketchy hopped around her with a big grin. "Yes you were Miss Trixie!"

"Sketchy! Will you stop actin like a fool in public?" his father scolded him and pulled him to his seat on the second pass.

"But dad!"

"No buts young one. Now sit."

At his fathers command the colt settled down in his seat beside his father. Trixie gave a hearty chuckle as the colt looked down embarrassed by his behavior. After a minute of silence Trixie had received her food and the two earth ponies ordered as well, thanks to her generous invitation. While they ate Trixie continued to ask questions about her past with them which wasn't much, but were happy to answer all the same.

"So, what happened after the attack? What did Trixie do?" the blue unicorn asked.

Scribble looked down at his son rubbing his mane. "After that, you traveled with Lyra, my son, and I for the next day or so back to Manehatten." he said sipping his tea.

"Did Trixie live there or something?"

Sketchy was the one to answer next. The two made a habit of switching depending on whether the other was chewing food or not. "Nope! You said you wanted to get your,er um... traveling show back up there or something."

"The train..."

Sketchy heard Trixie whisper something but leaned closer so he could hear her. "What was that, Miss Trixie?"

"The train," she droned on. "It was your first time on one... I remember!" she finished with a squeal. "I remembered!"

"That's great Trixie! Isn't it dad?" the colt cheered.

The stallion smiled sipping his tea once more. "It sure is son."

"TRIXIE!"

Everypony stopped and looked around to see an angry stallion they all knew well, Igneous Rock, stomping towards the blue mare with Maud and Solarflare close behind. He came to a halt at the fence where just on the other side Trixie did her best to blend into the slate earth below. Trixie smiled weakly and waved at the angry stallion who was hovering over her like a helicopter parent.

"Hi Igneous." she squeaked.

"Don't you, 'hi me,' young lady. You skipped out on your morning chores again!" he yelled stomping his hoof down. "Why I have a right mind to throw you out for being the laziest worker I've ever had!"

This time Maud stepped forward. "Father, be fair. She saved our lives once."

"I did?" Trixie asked but got no response.

"Scribble, I know yer mah friend and Maud I remember Trixie saved us and Silver. But I'll be darned if ahm gonna let a lazy pony continue to work on mah farm!"

Maud took one last step forward with an almost pleading look. "But father-"

"That is final!"

"It's fine Maud." Trixie said hopping over the fence to hug her grey friend. "Soalrflare we need to leave anyways."

"What why?!" the red mare yelled out. "Just because you're getting kicked out doesn't mean I want to-"

"Trixie learned about something regarding herself and you."

This silenced all the ponies present. Scribble and Sketchy looked at the crimson unicorn thoughtfully. Then Sketchy walked up to the massive mare. She was easily the tallest pony present, equal footing to Celestia herself. Needless to say that made Sketchy very small compared to her but he walked up to her massive figure with a kind face.

"It's true miss. Trixie met two others just like you before!"

Solarflare looked down at the tiny colt with a shocked expression. "You have?"

"Yeup! I also read it in the news paper too!" he rushed to the table where his saddlebags lay.

He then pulled out an older newspaper from a while ago. The front page showed a mare with deep red armor and an eye patch over one of her eyes. She stood tall on her back legs, arms stretched out standing in a ruined restaurant of sorts. The headline read: Madmare Trashes Dinner and Kills three!

Everyone stared at the paper. The mare in the photo was clearly not Solarflare but was all too similar for it to be a coincidence. Taking hold of the paper with her magic, Solarflare read the article. She eventually read a portion where Trixie was injured and taken to the hospital in Manehatten, where the attack occurred.

She folded the paper and looked over at the blue unicorn friend. "To Manehatten?"

Trixie gave a confirmation nod. "To Manehatten."

Both mares walked over to Maud who was doing her best to not look upset. It was one of the few times they ever saw her show any kind of emotions. The grey earth pony looked between the two of them expectantly.

"Maud," Trixie said taking hold of her shoulders. "Will you accompany us?"

Maud smiled nodding silently, but then her father spoke up. "Absolutely not! She has her job to do! Not only that but we're short hooved on the farm as is! I can't spare anymore workers!"

"Father please." Maud wrapped her arms around his neck hugging him. "We owe Trixie. She and her friend lost their entire lives. If there is any chance of them to get their lives back we should help. It's what Pinkie would have done."

That made the stallion frown. He hated having his own family use, ironically family as a tool against him. But he could not deny that Maud was right. Pinkie would have helped regardless of who it was. He looked at the two unicorns who had the teariest sad faces he'd ever seen. There is no way two grown mares should be that cute. he grumble in his head.

"Ugh, fine. You have two days to get everything back in order." he said walking off with a huff. "If you aren't back by then then don't bother coming back at all! Oh, and Muad?"

"Yes father?"

"Make sure they get back in one piece. No detours or timberwolves you hear?"

"Yes father."

Maud smiled as she watched her father disappear down the street. Trixie and Solarflare looked saddened by his tone but Scribble nudged them both. "Don't worry about him. He was never good at expressing sympathy well. He cares about you two. I can tell."

"That was caring?" Solarflare scoffed.

"Yeah! He was being a total jerk! Trixie does not approve!" the blue unicorn nodded in agreement to her red counterpart.

"Well. Come on let's get going!" Trixie cheerfully said. "We need to catch the train to Manehatten!"

"Right!" Solarflare pumped her hoof in the air.

"I'll get our stuff packed." Maud said turning to return home.

Maud left leaving Trixie and Solarflare alone with Sketchy and his father at the dinner. Almost everypony was back to what they were doing but Trixie had a saddened look as she egged the stallion and colt. The two earth ponies hugged her back.

'I'm sorry I don't remember you two." Trixie cried into Scribbles shoulder.

The stallion patted her mane rubbing his nose into it. "It's fine. We remembered you. It was like meeting for the first time all over again."

He pulled away, much to Trixies reluctance, he then lifted her chin with his hoof making her look at him eye to eye. "When we see each to her again you me and Sketchy need to have lunch again! Make sure you remember us this time!" he said with a joking grin.

The unicorn mare scoffed in mock hurt swatting him with her hoof playfully. This made him and her laugh while Sketchy hugged her from behind. Solarflare felt something inside of her as she stared at the paper with the image of the red unicorn on it. Something about it made her anger rise.

"The mare." she looked closely at the mare in the photo.

She spent a good minute looking at it when suddenly she felt sick to her stomach. Not again. She whined internally. She quickly ran inside, surprising everypony by her sudden rush, and hid in the bathroom. She quickly tuned the sink on and lunged over the toilet as she hurled everything in her stomach out inside the porcelain bowl.

After a good minute she finally managed to stop vomiting. She then flushed it and hung over the sink. The sickening feeling never subsided, nor did her anger. A moment later there came a knock at the door. The unmistakable voice of Trixie came from the other side.

"Flare? Are you alright?"

"Yeah just got a nervous, and it made me sick but I'm fine now!" she said washing her face.

Trixie waited outside the door while Solarflare finished her business in the bathroom.

"What happened?" Trixie asked puling her friend to the table and sat her on a chair.

"I don't know. I just saw the image of that mare on the newspaper and then I got angry." she said rubbing her belly. I felt really sick then. Actually, I've been sick every morning for a good while now."

Trixie placed a hoof on her friends. "Are you sure? You're not sick are you?"

"No, just nervous I guess." she smiled to her blue friend. "Come one let's go."

The two mares left the restaurant and headed back home to help with the packing. Scribble and his son said good bye along the way and head off to their home which was on the other side of the small town. Later that day Maud, Trixie, and Solarflare stood at he train station waiting for the next train heading to Manehatten. Due to Rockyshores location the first stop was Canterlot then Manehatten on the way back.

Some thirty minutes later the train arrived and after several minutes of jockeying around the three friends found themselves in the train and sitting in their own compartment. As they settled in the train blew its whistle and slowly began to grind its wheels to propel itself. An hour later the city was out of sight and the three mares rested, but just outside another mare was watching them.

She had a panicked look on her face. Quickly she retreated to three carts back and slipped into a compartment where a young brown batpony was bobing up and down on her seat looking out the window. She noticed the mare come in and saw the scared look on her face.

"Hey Vector? What's up?" she asked the mare.

Vector wiped a line of sweat form her forehead and patted the younger mare beside her. "Just some trouble with a few ponies i knew. Nothing more. Hey? Why not get some rest, OK? It's a long trip and we should conserve our strength. Especially the birthday girl."

She grinned nudging Buttercups cheek making her giggle and nudge the pegasus back playfully.

Come on. Let's get some sleep." Vector said rubbing Buttercups mane.

"Alright. Wake me up later?" the brown batpony asked with a yawn.

"I will. Sleep well."

Vector laid her head on her lap petting the light brown mane. She kept glancing outside the compartment door expecting to see a set of eyes glaring at her but seeing nothing there she tried her best to rest herself. But found it difficult which her anxiety at an all time high.

"I need to contact Blaze."
