Author's Notes:

Hey everyone! Sorry for the late update and the short chapter but I wanted to make this a series of chapters to in depth of the back story regarding Trixie and the Pie family.

So what dramas unfold?

Let's find out! Enjoy

(Revisions)

This was awkward in the worst way possible. Trixie felt like an animal in the hunters trap with noway out. Everypony was watching her like vultures to the kill. Waiting. Mary and Platinum looked positively livid yet neither made a move, they just stared angrily at Trixie.

Oh, Celestia please let this be some awful nightmare! Let Trixie wake up from this! The azure mare thought begging for a miracle that this was indeed a dream. But it wasn't meant to be. Mary walked up to Trixie, her angry look subsided, making her feel uneasy.

"Trixie sweetie, who is that?" she asked calmly.

Trixie noticed the mares strain in her eyes, making her feel uneasy.

"Uh, Maud Pie?" she responded. "She's the eldest daughter to Igneous Rock. You didn't know her?"

"...No."

"Oh."

"Why is she here?" she snapped still gripping Trixie.

Trixie fidgeted averting her gaze a few times, trying to come up with an answer. Truthfully it was a simple answer. So Trixie being Trixie went with the truth. "She's here to drop off the deposit for Vinyl I asked for."

Mary and Platinum looked unconvinced. The metallic mare walked up beside Mary with an incredulous look.

"Is that the ONLY reason she came, Trixie?" she asked.

Trixie did her best to remain composed but being sick and afraid of the backlash she found it difficult to concentrate. She stuttered and babbled nonsense trying to form words but nothing came out. Platinum meanwhile was circling her eyeing the earth pony invader.

"Cause it looked like you were fooling around with her." she sniped, looking directly at Maud.

"That's not what happened!" Trixie yelled, which wasn't very loud in her condition. "Mary, This is a big misund-under- stan-ah, ahhchoo!"
The blue mare threw herself at the tan mare wrapping her arms around her. She desperately clung to her like she was her last life line in.

All three mares stared at the unicorn. "So you weren't fooling around with her? Trixie. Be honest with me." Mary pleaded pulling her close.

Platinum was taken aback from her sudden clinginess to Mary. It was heart wrenching to see her literally throw herself into the mares arms. Mary looked like she was about to leave but something held her back. She looked over to Maud who was patiently sitting where she stood a second ago.

Trixie desperately looked for a way to salvage the situation.

"Cough, you believe Trixie don't you?" she looked up at her.

"I don't know Trixie." Mary sighed. "I need sometime to myself. I'm going to stay at a friends house for the night, you clearly don't need me here." she said bitterly.

She pushed past Platinum and closed the door not caring that strangers were in her house. She just had to get away from all of this. She couldn't go through another heart break so soon. She headed off to Derpys house leaving a disgruntled Trixie behind. Trixie's eyes teared up as she tried to reach out to her but fell over doing so. Maud ran to assist her. Platinum didn't wait, hard lessons learned she too ran to help the downed mare. Each of them taking and arm to help her up they walked her back to bed laying her down and covering her up. Maud looked down at Trixie.

"I'm sorry, little moon. This was my fault." she said, stroking her mane. "I was insensitive towards your feelings. I promise to set this right."

"It's not your fault Maud." Trixie replied. She waved Platinum over who walked up beside her and sat down next to Maud. "Maud, this is Trixie's friend Platinum. Platinum this is Maud Trixie's marefriend."

"Marefriend?" she looked over to Maud shocked. "I thought you were with Mary?"

She was so sure of it. The way they talked and how Trixie threw herself at her. Though many would brush it off she could tell there was something more to it than that. Trixie did care for Mary, painfully so.

"Trixie is, but... it's a long story. Do you care to hear it?"

The truth was Platinum wanted to leave but she cared for Trixie. So much that she felt she might just have a chance with her after this was over. Mary was obviously mad at Trixie. This worked in her favor. With Derpy still fresh in her mind, Mary could easily be dissuaded from her relationship with Trixie. Maud however was a wildcard. There was no telling what the blue mare felt for this pony. It was clear she had feelings for both of them to her, but Platinum needed to make sure before she made her move on Trixie.

I have a chance here to finally win her over. I can't mess this up. Play nice Platinum, Trixie's reaching out to you! she thought.

"I'm your friend Trixie, I won't abandon you. Tell me what happened?" Platinum asked calmly, giving Trixie a sympathetic look.

Trixie smiled at her. The two earth ponies helped her back into the room so she could rest on the bed. She was still a sick mare and a sick mare needed rest, Maud had said.

Once she was settled back into bed she rested her head on the pillow looking up at the two mares. Platinum brought chairs for her and Maud to sit next to the bed. "This is a bit of a lengthy tale. So, Trixie will start from the beginning. It all started after I ran out of town from the ursa minor incident..."
