Episode 13 - Part 2

Chapter 2- Still Haven't Learned

Doctor: How to write a good story.

Not a lot of ponies were left in the field,but the ones that were moved away from the stage as the wagon started to violently shake. I motioned my friends back and moved up to the stage, sword in hand.

Doctor: (Star) My reaction to anything I don’t know is attack first, ask questions later.

I reached up to open the door, and the wagon opened up in a burst of magic, knocking me backwards.

Doctor: Way to be on guard there Starlight.

“Ponies of Ponyville! The Great and Powerful Trixie has returned!”

All: (Deadpan) Yay.

A blue unicorn, a little lighter then Luna stepped out among a sparkle of lights.

Ditzy: Unfortunately, the lights were a little too bright and everypony was too blinded to pay much attention to her.

I flipped around in the air and hovered over, my friends trotting up to the stage.

“Oh great! It's her again!” I heard Rainbow said.

Doctor: (Trixie) You can all start your standing ovation for the Great and Powerful Trixie.

I flew down and hovered over my friends. “You know this unicorn?”

Ditzy: (Star) I hate her already.

Twilight glared at the prancing unicorn.

Ditzy: Trixie suddenly broke out into a song and dance number.

“She came here a couple of months earlier and brought a Ursa Minor into the town. Almost destroyed the whole place.”

Ditzy: Wait, what? It was Snip and Snails that did that!

Doctor: (Shakes head) Revisionist history.

I decided not to ask what that was, instead looking at the unicorn. “So, her name is Trixie?”

Doctor: (Trixie) Don’t talk as if Trixie isn’t standing here right in front of you!

As my friends nodded, the unicorn noticed us and stopped talking.

Doctor: (Trixie) Twilight Sparkle. The Great and Powerful Trixie saw that pathetic show you tried to perform earlier. Trixie found it to be rather embarrassing. Trixie is surprised you can even show you stupid face in public again.

I saw her visibly pale and crouch down.

Ditzy: (Trixie thinking) Okay, Trixie remain calm. Dazzle them with your presence.

“H-hi there.”

Ditzy: (Trixie) Dang it! Real smooth Trixie.

I flew around the field, telling ponies to head on home

Doctor: (Trixie) Hey! That’s The Great and Powerful Trixie’s audience!

Ditzy: (Pony) Wonderful! Now what am I suppose to do with all this rotten fruit?

as my friends started talking to Trixie.

“What are you doing back here?” I heard Rainbow say.

Ditzy: Trixie points to a nearby sign advertising the carnival.

Doctor: (Rainbow) Oh...right.

“I decided to come grace Ponyville with my presence once again.” Trixie said.

Ditzy: (Trixie) Everypony knows that the Great and Powerful Trixie makes any story 20 percent better!

“I-um...” She stopped as I landed next to Fluttershy. “The truth is, I wanted to try again here.”

Ditzy: Weird, she isn’t talking in third person.

Doctor: Good, it’s makes her even more obnoxious

Ditzy: You aren’t Dr. Doom Trixie.

“What do you mean by trying again?” I asked.

Doctor: (Trixie) Trixie thought last time these country bumkins didn’t get to see the true majesty of the Great and Powerful Trixie!

“Last time I was here, I didn't make the best impression.” the blue unicorn said.

Ditzy: Understatement of the year.

“She brought a Ursa Minor into Ponyville and wasn't able to control it.” Twilight said.

Doctor: Except, she didn’t.

Ditzy: Who would do something as stupid as that?

I notcied that she had been glaring at Trixie this entire time. She must have seen my confused look because she said, “Think of a bear covered in stars.”

Ditzy: (Star) That doesn’t sound so bad.

Doctor: (Twilight) It was 20 hooves tall.

Ditzy: (Star) Oh.

“Ahh.” I said. I looked back at the unicorn. “So,  why are you back?” I asked kindly.

Ditzy: (Trixie) You dunderhead! Didn’t Trixie just explain that a few moments ago?

“Just as I said. I wanted to try again.” Trixie said. “I'm tired of being alone. I've traveled all over Equestria being a stage pony. I heard about the crowning about a month ago and started back here.

Doctor: (Trixie) You’re lucky, The Great and Powerful Trixie rarely grants her presence to princes.

Maybe-maybe I could stay here for a while?”

Doctor: (Twilight) Are you hiding from debt collector?

Ditzy: (Trixie) N-no! Don’t be ridiculous. Why would a pony as famous and successful as The Great and Powerful Trixie have debts?

The ponies looked at me expectantly.

Doctor: (Star) Why does everypony look at me to make decisions? Can’t you make them yourselves?

I sighed, knowing I was going to make at least one of my friends upset with me. “Trixie, I don't know much about what happened before, but as long as you don't bring another giant bear to trash the place, you can stay.”

Doctor: (Trixie) Foal. Like Trixie would use an Ursa to get her revenge.

Trixie's face lit up and she hugged me. She then backed off, realizing who she was hugging.

Ditzy: (Trixie) Trixie’s sorry! Don’t banish Trixie to the moon. Don’t banish Trixie to the moon. Don’t banish Trixie to the moon.

“Oh thank you Prince!” She lit up her horn and started moving her wagon away.

Ditzy: (Star) Why doesn’t her wagon have wheels?

I told my friends to head home to get some rest.

All: (Mane 6 robotic) Yes Star, we must do whatever you say.

As I was about to take off,

Ditzy: Wait, not token mention of Trixie turning Rarity’s mane green?  Rarity almost left Trixie to die in Guardians of Magic for doing that.

Twi tugged on my shirt.

Doctor: (Star) Gah! Can’t you call out to me next time? You almost choked me to death.

“Why did you let her stay?!” she said, seething.

Doctor: (Twilight) You should have thrown her out and humiliated her!

I stepped back, surprised by the force of her anger. “I don't think it's bad to give everypony a chance.”

Ditzy: (Twilight) You’re such a naive foal.

Doctor: (Star muttering) So much for the Magic of Friendship.

“She has some evil reason to be here, Starlight.” Twilight said. “I can feel it oozing from her.”

Ditzy: No, I think that is just the odor of somepony that hasn’t bathed in a few weeks.

I cocked my head. “Are you sure it's not just because you're still mad at her?”

Twilight snorted. “No. It isn't.”

Doctor: (Twilight) You would think after the wedding incident, ponies would trust my judgement more! But no, of course they don’t! (In a deep voice) Oh Twilight, you’re just being silly. Trixie isn’t after revenge after you humiliated her and ruined her career. You are just letting you imagination get the better of you. (Regular voice) Gah!

She started walking away. “Are you coming back to the house?”

“I'll teleport inside so you don't need to wait up.” I said. She nodded and walked off with Spike.

Doctor: (Twilight) Spike! Go to the Watcher’s Spy & Grocery store downtown. We are going to keep a close eye on this Trixie.

I sighed, knowing that I wasn't heading back to the house. Whenever Twilght was in one of her moods,  

Ditzy: (Star) I’m never going to get any sleep with all that pacing she is going to do.

I would just sleep on the cloud that Rainbow and I had made.

Doctor: (Spike) What about me? Don’t leave me alone with her like this!

Before I shot into the sky, I flew around, making sure the field was clean.

Doctor: Starlight was big on community service.

After the sweep I headed off into the air.

The sky was beautiful. Luna's moon was full tonight, lighting up the night. I looked at the stars. “They seem fine already.” I thought. “How do I represent that part of the sky?” I reached the cloud and sat, thinking about the day.

Ditzy: He could still feel all the wild rides Celestia dragged him to.

Suddenly I heard a voice from behind me. “Thought you were at Twilight's.” Rainbow flew around and sat next to me.

“She's mad at me because of how I dealt with Trixie.” I explained.

Ditzy: (Twilight) You could have at least burned her wagon down.

“I come and sleep here whenever she's upset.

Doctor: (Star) I rather not be pelted by books by accident. She tends to throw them around when angry.

Rainbow nodded. “If you want, you can stay with me tonight.”

Doctor: (Star) A couch does sound pretty good.

Ditzy: (Rainbow) That isn’t quite what I meant. I mean stay with me tonight.

Doctor: (Star) Aren’t I already doing that?

Ditzy: (Rainbow)(sighs)

“You sure?” I asked. “I'd rather not be in the way.”

She nodded. “Why not? Come on!” She took off and I followed.

At Rainbow's, she disappeared into another room as I changed in her bedroom. I looked around in wonder.

Doctor: (Star) You think she has enough pictures of the Wonderbolts? They’re even on the ceiling!

I hadn't been in Cloudsdale ever since the day that Rainbow had taken me on a quick tour.

Doctor: I thought she lived in Ponyville.

So I was in wonder at her house, being made completely out of clouds. It truly was a beautiful house. Buuut, not as beautiful as the mare that walked in front of me.

Doctor: Star started drooling and howling like a wolf.

She sat next to me and said, “Apparently, by the look of awe on your face, you like what you see.”

Ditzy: (Rainbow) Do you like my new socks? I bought them just for you.

Doctor: What is it with you ponies and socks? There is nothing exciting about them.

Ditzy: (Sighs) Oh Doctor.

I closed my mouth, then proceeded to open it in a yawn. “Why not? You are a very likeable mare.”

She punched me,

Doctor: (Star) Really officer, she loves me! She just has a funny way of showing it!

then kissed me.

Ditzy: Is she bipolar?

“Come on Prince. We're both tired.”

We climbed into the bed and laid down under the covers. I wrapped my arms around my mate

Ditzy: Ugh. Star is way too young for this.

Doctor: I feel really unclean.

and relaxed. “Starlight?” she said.

Doctor: (Rainbow) Do you ever feel like crying and don't know why?

“Hmmm?” I responded.

“When should we tell everypony about us?” she asked.

Ditzy: In a few years when Starlight is legal?

I was quiet for a moment. “Whenever you're ready to.”

Ditzy: (Star) Me though? I would yell it from the highest mountain.

I felt her relax and then I heard her breathe deeply, signaling that she was asleep. I laid my head down and also fell asleep.

…

8 Months Before

Doctor: Ah, the good old days. Before I even knew of this awful fic.

Celestia stood her ground in front of Nightmare Moon. “Come on now, Princess. I already have your sister. Just tell me where you sent the little prince and we can all be a family again.”

Doctor: (Nightmare) Just think of all the baseball games I have missed over the millennia.

“Never!” Celestia said. Her horn glowed brightly.

Nightmare Moon laughed. “Come now. It's been a thousand years, not to mention the 6 I've waited. I don't need to wait any longer. You might find me a little less......playful.” At the last part, she narrowed her eyes.

Celestia's horn fizzled out. “Leave Starlight out of this. He's perfectly fine where he is.”

Doctor: Right now, Star is getting the third swirly of the day.

“I just want to know where he is.” The evil alicorn said. “He deserves a few birthday presents.”

Ditzy: (Nightmare) I bought him one of these newfangled music players devices that is popular nowadays.

Suddenly Nightmare's horn flashed and shot at Celestia. It hit her in the horn and stunned her. When Nightmare ended the spell, Celestia fell to the ground, unconscious.

Ditzy: Poor Princess Celestia. This keeps happening to her.

Nightmare walked up and looked at the fallen alicorn. “It would be so easy for me to take over now.

Doctor: (Nightmare) But I’m a short sighted cliche villain so I won’t.

But I have bigger and better things in mind for Equestria.

Doctor: (Nightmare) The economy has been staggering for years.

Ditzy: (Nightmare) I have a space program planned.

Enjoy the last few months of your rule.

Ditzy: (Nightmare) And the constant riots and revolts cursing your name.

After you have your sister back, I'll have your brother very soon after.” She suddenly disappeared.

Ditzy: She’s been abducted by aliens!

Celestia stirred and raised her head, “You won't find him for quite a while...

Doctor: I have to admit, hiding him in an alternate dimension was actually a solid plan.The infinite amount to dimension out there makes it very hard to catch on to his trail.

Ditzy: So, how did Nightmare find him exactly?

…

About 3 days later, I helped Fluttershy

Ditzy: Wait, if Luna was captured by Nightmare Moon, why is she free now?

Doctor: Luna is a spy!

lead a group of rabbits to a carrot field that we had been growing. “Thank you, Starlight. This is really good for them.” the quiet pegasus said.

Doctor: (Fluttershy) I’m sure Carrot Top won’t mind.

“I should hope so.” I said. “Took me forever to get the right seeds for this.”

Ditzy: (Star) I had to go on a huge trading quest just to get the stupid things.

Fluttershy nodded. “I-I should be able to handle it now, unless you want to stay.”

Doctor: (Fluttershy) I can think of a good way to reward a certain hero for helping me out.

I rubbed Fluttershy's head. “It's okay. I'm going to see how Rarity's holding up with the order I gave her." I flew off, waving to my friend.

Doctor: (Star) This dress is going to make me so pretty and cute.

Luna had asked me to ask Rarity if she could do an express order of dresses for her. Rarity had been working very hard to complete it, so I was surprised to have convinced her to attend the carnival last night. Landing at her shop, I was going to head on in.....before I heard a crash in the town. I quickly flew to where I heard the crash, and gasped at what I saw.

Ditzy: (Star) Two strange white pods crashed in the middle of the town.

Author Note: Sorry for the wait!

Doctor: No, it’s alright. Take your time.
