The castle was quiet as Starlight and Trixie sat in the bedroom. The day had been so far spent telling stories with one another. Starlight relating her experiences with the friendship lessons, both good and bad, and Trixie relating her childhood, which had mostly been better than Starlight’s. Eventually Trixie got to the point where she was talking about her first ever stage performance. Starlight sat on the edge of her seat listening to her best friend talk.

“And then I finally got on stage. It was going to be the most fantastic thing Equestria had ever witnessed,” Trixie said excitedly.

“Then what happened?”

“Trixie went out on stage to begin her show and-“ Trixie stopped mid sentence. Her eyes took on that darker look they sometimes did. The look of a mare who’d seen her fair share of things not so bright and happy. Things that Starlight was familiar with.

When Trixie didn’t continue Starlight pushed a little. “Tell me?”

“I… I was about to lie to you and tell you about how wonderful it was. How I defeated an ursa major and saved Ponyville due to Twilight’s negligence.” Trixie shook her head slowly. Her hands gripped onto her skirt tightly. “I don’t want to lie to you. I never want to lie to you.”

“It’s just a story.”

“No… no, Star. It’s not just a story. This… this was the beginning of my fall.” Trixie closed her eyes and let out a quiet sigh. “I don’t want you to think any differently about your friends. So I’m going to shut up, and sit down, and never bring this up again.”

Starlight reached out and cupped a hand over Trixie’s. “I already know they made some mistakes. I’m sure you can’t hurt my opinion of them too much.”

“No, it’s not happy. I just want to make you smile, to make you happy. I can’t go trudging through my past, and how ill prepared I was to actually stare down hecklers. I wasn’t ready for that, even though I tried to be like Magic Marigold, I failed.” Trixie shook her head. “Can we please just discuss something happier. Like uh… oh I have some funny stories about working on the rock farm. Ones that involve some sexy hijinks with a certain gray pony.”

“Their all gray,” Starlight said.

“Yes, but only one of them is gray and gay.”

“No, two of them are.”

Trixie blinked. “W-what? Which ones?”

“Does that matter?”

Trixie shook her head. “I suppose not. I mean, I just wanted to have sex with M- er uh the one that is gay.”

“Seriously, Trixie, just tell me what happened to you when you first came to Ponyville.” Starlight needed to know. She had heard a few rumors and bits and pieces of information but she wanted the unbridled truth.

Trixie closed her eyes. “You don’t need to hear it. Just know that some ponies were very rude and hurt Trixie’s feelings. Then after her entire life along with her only home was destroyed nopony came to her rescue. Nopony cared about her, not… like you do.”

Starlight nodded, sure that she finally understood Trixie’s fear. “Are you afraid I’m going to think you’re trying to manipulate me?”

Trixie’s lip quivered. “I never did that. I swear it. I’m just a blundering mess when it comes to words. I’m more about actions, you know? And so if there’s even a chance that somepony might misunderstand my intentions then I refuse to open my mouth. Not anymore. I-I can’t bear to lose you.”

Starlight smiled as a plan began forming in her mind. “Then I’ll respect your wishes.”

Trixie’s eyes glistened as a weak smile grew over her lips. “Thank you.”

Applejack was sitting on a bale of hay, the fur on her face matted down with sweat. Today had been some hard work and since the majority of it was done she was ready for bed. Of course she wouldn’t actually be going to sleep yet, she still had things she wanted to do.

When Starlight showed up, Applejack hopped off the hay bale, afraid she might be seen as lazy, and waved. “Howdy, Starlight.”

Starlight offered her a smile. “Hey, how’s the farm life going?”

“Bust as ever,” Applejack replied. “Ah finally got some free time.”

“Cool, can I ask you something personal?” Starlight said. There was a note of concern in the mare’s voice.

Applejack might not be the element of loyalty, but never let it be said that she was willing to allow her friends to be worried if she could help. “What do ya need?”

“Tell me about the first time you met Trixie.”

Starlight’s question was so sudden that Applejack actually had to lean against the hay to keep herself steady. It wasn’t unreasonable to imagine that she might ask about that, after all she somehow made friends with the little hooligan. If Starlight was finally wising up to Trixie’s game and realizing that she deserved better, then who was Applejack to begrudge her friend from the pure unbridled truth.

“She went on stage acting like she was better than everypony else. Me an’ RD an’ Rarity decided to teach her a lesson. So we called her out on stage, and went about making sure she got humiliated in front of everypony. Course, she ended up humiliating us. Still that mare got what she deserved when that ursa came to town and destroyed her stage.”

“Those stage wagons are pretty expensive.”

“Too bad, she could just go home and get another one fer all Ah care.”

Starlight bit her lower lip. “Did any of you try to be friends with her?”

“Why should we? She’s stuck up, nose, and bossy. Why would we ever want to be around her.”

“Maybe she’s just scared of making friends?”

“Ah don’t believe that fer one minute. Especially since she came back here just to take over the town and force us to become her slaves. Nopony like that deserves any pity.”

A deadly look crossed into Starlight’s eyes and for a brief moment Applejack was afraid. When Starlight looked away, she spoke, her tone dark and serious, “That makes sense. Why should she ever get any friends, or love, or anything nice. In fact she’s running a show today and I think she’s just going to be rude to everypony again.” Starlight smiled evilly. “Wanna come? Just to make sure she doesn’t hurt anypony?”

Applejack didn’t like the sudden shift in Starlight’s mood. Though she couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her. So she stuck out her palm, spat on her hand and held it out for Starlight to shake. Starlight repeated the procedure and they shook on it. This was a vow to work together, nopony breaks such an intimate handshake.

“Ah’ll be there.”

There was quite the crowd here today. Applejack could hardly believe that Trixie deserved such attention, in fact she didn’t believe it at all. She saw the stage, it was a lot more modest than the last one Trixie had used. At least Starlight’s influence had seen Trixie take down her glamour a notch, it was nearly eye burning the last time Applejack had seen it.

Surprisingly she didn’t see Rarity or Rainbow Dash here. She expected at least one of them would come here to make sure that Trixie wasn’t up to something again. Though maybe they were busy and it was just up to Applejack to make sure the town was safe. Seriously the last time Trixie ran a big show in Ponyville she brought a damned manticore into town. A manticore!

The curtains parted and Trixie stood on stage next to Starlight. Starlight easily over towered the small girl, but somehow didn’t stand out as much. Trixie bowed to the crowd, a rose in her hand.

“Welcome, one and all to the greatest show in Equestria. The Great and Powerful Trixie, Super Duper, Magical, Extravaganza!”

Applejack blinked at the title. It was just… horrible.

Trixie rose to her full, albeit small height. “Trixie has had a lot of help with this show, as you can see my pupil and bestest friend Starlight is here today as well. Give a bow to the crowd, dear.”

Starlight bowed deeply, grinning as she did.

“And as for the name along with some of the most wonderful props Trixie has ever seen were all given to her by the, oh so wonderful and talented Pinkie Pie! Second best of the Pie sisters.”

“Second best?” Applejack asked. Which one of my cousins is better than Pinkie?

Trixie pulled a note card out of thin air and read it. “Oh and we are also sponsored by the Pet Rock Adoption Agency. Rocks are rocks and need love too. Please adopt a local rock today.”

Applejack lowered her head. “Maud paid her, of course she’s the best of the Pie sisters.”

Trixie pointed to a box behind her and smiled brightly. “Today I’m going to start with the most classic of tricks. I, the Great and Powerful Trixie, shall make a pony disappear! Now who wants to volunteer.”

A few ponies raised their hands above their heads while shouting, “me!”

Applejack just crossed her arms over her chest and waited. This was boring, and Trixie was obviously full of horsecrap. This was going to either waste all of her time, or end up in disaster. Either way she was beginning to realize why neither of the others had shown up.

Two clouds of smoke poofed into existence by the box. When the smoke cleared there stood three boxes whereas before there had only been one. Trixie grinned even wider. “And today there will be a twist. With three boxes, there will be three chances to guess which one our volunteer will come out of! It’s going to be Great and Powerful fun for all!”

More hands raised then before followed by louder shouts. Starlight leaned into Trixie’s ear and whispered something that Applejack couldn’t hear. The look on Trixie’s face went from happy to horrified, then slowly turned into a nervous grimace.

“Oh, it looks like we have a celebrity in the crowd today,” Trixie said. Her voice was ever so shaky. “Applejack, would you be a dear and come up here with us? Starlight asked for you personally, and I must abide by my besties wishes.”

Applejack didn’t like it, but surely this meant that Starlight had found out something that needed taken care of. She’d promised to help, and Applejack never went back on her promises to friends. She walked up to the stage and climbed up.

This close to Trixie she looked down at the girl and realized she was practically shaking in her boots. Applejack believed this to be a clear sign that she was up to something and Applejack was about to ruin it. Applejack nodded and said just loud enough for Trixie to hear, “Whatever yer up too, Ah’m gonna stop it.”

Trixie swallowed. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Starlight directed Applejack to the middle box and after she was in shut the door behind her. It was dark, and hot. From outside she could hear Trixie’s voice boom over the crowd. “Now watch as I make this lovely mare vanish before your very eyes. She will disappear like none other before her!”

The box took on a purple glow, and Applejack felt the floor shift a little under her weight. Aha, so it’s the old trapdoor trick. Ah knew she was a phony pony, she might as well be made of snow.

Then Applejack saw the reason why the floor wasn’t giving way. There was a teal colored light surrounding it. the teal light reached up and surrounded Applejack. For a moment she inhaled deeply. Whatever was going on was from Starlight, surely, but Applejack could only trust that the mare was going to help her defeat Trixie’s evil scheme.

The box flew up above her head and Applejack took step forward. Trixie stared at her with wide eyes. As well as the entire crowd. Starlight simply smiled evilly. The wind breezed by, it was cool against Applejack’s sweaty fur. Too cool.

She looked down, her shirt and shorts were gone. Just gone. All that was left were her bright pink panties and bra. The little strawberry pattern adorning them visible to the entire town. Applejack spun around looking for her clothes, her butt was shown off to the crowd. Her clothes were simply gone.

Fear sized her heart as she tried to rationalize what had just happened. She spun around facing Starlight and growled. “What did you do?”

“Oh, little old me? I guess I just humiliated you in front of the town.”

Trixie took a step back. Her eyes darted from Applejack’s bare flesh to Starlight. “You did what?”

“She needed to know how it felt to go on stage and be completely stripped bare of any confidence she had.” Starlight waved a hand and a teal glow surrounded Applejack. Applejack was lifted off the air and flew toward Starlight stopping only a foot away. She tried to move but her muscles didn’t react.

“Trixie, would you like to do the honors?” Starlight asked.

Trixie took another step back. “I-I don’t, what are you doing? I don’t want to get in trouble again.”

“Relax it's my plan,” Starlight said as she reached up and grabbed Applejack’s bra.

Applejack tried to move, she was determined to punch Starlight in the face. Shame and anger battled in her heart while she desperately attempted to do anything, anything at all to stop the evil mare. Starlight pulled on the bra, the back strap dug into Applejack’s flesh. It was pulled back until it snapped and was thrown to the ground. Applejack’s small tits were exposed to the crowd. Everypony was staring up at her.

“I’m going to kill you,” Applejack vowed.

“You can try, but I can rewrite the timeline, remember.”

Applejack was spun around and bent over. She could see behind her and everything looked upside down from this position. Her tail was lifted up and she realized with a small cry what Starlight was about to do. Trixie fell to her knees.

“What’s wrong?” Starlight asked.

Trixie’s face was beet-red. “She’s naked! You tell me what’s wrong with that.” Her eyes were firmly planted on Applejack’s butt.

Slowly the pink panties were slid down. A whimper escaped Applejack’s lungs as she felt them slide over the strong curves of her hips, down her thighs and then off of her feet. The crowd all gasped. Applejack’s naked ass, and pussy were now exposed to the entire crowd. She wanted to cry, this was too much even for a strong mare like her, but she promised herself revenge for this, and kept that anger flowing through her body.

When her legs began spreading she tried to move, again to no avail. Starlight’s magic was just too strong. It wasn’t just her legs. Her cheeks were spread wide exposing the wrinkly anus to the world, as well as her pussy lips showing the world her pink sensitive cunt.

Trixie’s body was shaking and her chest was moving up and down rapidly. “Starlight, stop it. Please.”

Starlight looked at her. “Oh come on, the best part hasn’t happened yet.”

Trixie closed her eyes. “This is too much. I, I would never do this to a pony. Not even Rarity, and I freaking hate Rarity.”

“Speaking of Rarity,” Starlight said. “I’ve got another gift for you. Well… more like two.”

The other boxes were lifted up by the chains attached to them. Both Rarity and Rainbow Dash were standing there, completely naked, exposed to the world. Each one floated over to the edge of the stage and were put into equally perverted and exposing positions.

Trixie spun around and jumped off the stage. If Applejack’s eyes weren’t mistaken she saw tears coming down the magician’s face.

“Trixie, where are you going? Don’t you want to play with your new gifts?” Starlight asked. “Well, I won’t let you touch them, but you can look and position them like dolls or something.”

Trixie drew the top of her hat over her face. “You ruined my show.”

“What?” Starlight asked.

Trixie walked away. “I just wanted to make ponies happy, and to be left alone by those bullies. I didn’t want revenge. Now Twilight’s going to punish me like it was my fault. And if she asks me who came up with this, who decided to do this, what can I tell her that she would even believe? All I can do is claim that I was the one responsible and I corrupted you and maybe, just maybe if I’m lucky she won’t do anything to you.”

Starlight’s magic faded and all three mares dropped to the floor, hard. “What the Tartarus! I was trying to get revenge for you. To humiliate these ponies so that you could feel better about how badly they broke your heart. I am not letting Twilight get you in trouble!”

Trixie looked back, and although her eyes were hidden, the tears ran down the sides of her face. She smiled sadly. “It’s been one heck of a run. We really were great and powerful together, weren’t we?”

Then Trixie ran away.

Starlight shook with anger. “Darn it!”

Applejack stood up, covering herself as best she could with her hands. “Ya stupid git!”

Starlight looked at her. “At least I didn’t pick on somepony who desperately needed a friend.”

Rarity attempted to cover herself with her arm, but her breasts were huge. The mare was having difficulty hiding herself. Applejack felt ashamed, she knew the audience was comparing Rarity’s magnificent breasts to her own, small and ugly ones. Starlight had succeeded in her demented revenge scheme.

Rainbow Dash stood up, spread her arms and legs and stretched. Her wings spread out and she looked at Starlight. “This was an awesome prank. Too bad that I’ve been seen naked so much that I basically burned out my shame. Nice try though.”

Starlight’s horn flared up and suddenly Rainbow Dash’s stomach gurgled.

“Ow!” Rainbow Dash said as her eyes went wide. “What did you do?”

“Laxtovious explosivo. You better find a bathroom soon.”

“N-not cool!” Rainbow ran off the stage and took off into the air. The air exploded around her as she went supersonic and vanished.

Starlight looked back towards where Trixie ran off to and began chasing her. Applejack stood there, stunned. She was naked, being ogled by half the town, and the pony responsible was getting away. There seemed like two choices ahead. She could either try and run away, find somewhere to hide, or she could chase after Starlight and get her revenge.

Despite how ashamed her body she was, she decided to go after Starlight. Just as she began running she heard Rarity cry out, but whatever she said was lost as Applejack jumped off the stage. Starlight was not getting away with this.

With one arm over her breasts and another over her vagina, her overall speed was drastically reduced. It took almost no time at all for Starlight to vanish from sight. She darted around a corner and saw a group of mares all tending flowers. Applejack tried to stop herself but couldn’t slow down quickly enough as she ran head first into the group.

Applejack knocked over Rose, and her naked body brushed against Daisy. She felt the back of Daisy’s hand touch her butt. With a yelp Applejack increased speed and ran faster.

The last thing she heard as she darted around another corner was one of the mares saying, “The horror! The horror!”

Her goal of finding Starlight was shattered and now she only wanted to find somewhere to hide. Someplace of safety that she could go into without worry of being ogled, or worse, made fun of. She spotted the exact place she needed; Sugarcube Corner.

Applejack threw open the doors and charged. “Pinkie Pie!”

There were at least a dozen ponies in here. Their eyes all staring at her. Some of them studied the curves of Applejack’s wide hips, or the small breasts. Others looked on her with a smirk. Some of them did something even worse; they shrugged and returned to their lunch as though nothing had happened.

Applejack’s legs felt weak. Her hands were shaking. And Pinkie was not here.

She backed up towards the door. Something soft brushed against her butt. She spun around half ready to kill somepony, and half ready to cry. There she saw Rarity. Applejack ran past her naked friend as she made her way outside.

“Applejack, wait!” Rarity cried.

Applejack didn’t listen.

She burst through the front doors once more and found a half dozen royal guards all standing outside. The giant form of Princess Celestia stood in between them. Her eyes slowly widening as she took in Applejack’s naked body. Applejack’s entire body was shaking now, and she just wanted to go home more than anything. She was done.

That’s when Starlight appeared out from behind Celestia. She looked on with big round and glossy eyes. “Uh… hi, Applejack.”

Princess Celestia smiled. “It would seem that you really did strip her.”

“You didn’t believe me?” Starlight asked.

Princess Celestia’s eyes studied Applejack’s body intensely. “Not really.”

Applejack walked forward, her anger was all but vanished as she looked at Starlight. “Please send me home.”

Rarity was covering herself as she walked over to Applejack to hide behind her. “Send me to her house too. I got some clothes there from our last sleep over.”

Starlight waved a hand and said, “Yeah, okay. I think I’m in enough trouble for this anyway.”

The world turned green for a moment and then Applejack blinked. She felt Rarity’s hand against her shoulder. The green cleared from her vision and Applejack realized they stood in the living room of her farmhouse. Big Mac stood in the doorway, Granny sat on her rocking chair, Applebloom and her two little friends were on the couch, and Braeburn was at the door behind them with Babs.

“Well… fuck me,” Applejack said.

After that day Trixie tried desperately to take the blame for what happened when she pleaded to Twilight. Twilight however had already heard the reports from Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack as well as Starlight herself. She was having none of it. So Trixie was let off the hook, much to her own displeasure.

Starlight was punished severely. Forced to work the farm for three months, cleaning up animal crap, and mucking out the pig stall. She was also forced to work at the boutique as a servant, and as a model for all of Rarity’s most embarrassingly clothing lines. Finally she was forced to do whatever Rainbow Dash told her to do. Rainbow Dash however simply found a drinking buddy, along with a new pony to play pranks with. Twilight regretted her last decision.

Eventually Applejack was able to walk around town without feeling the eyes of everypony on her. It was like she was being judged, and ogled and fantasized about by everypony in town. Sometimes she would hear crude comments about her, some of which were really mean about her small breasts or other unflattering things.

That’s why, two weeks after the fact she stood at the door to Trixie’s wagon. When it was opened and the mare began to apologize for the hundredth time Applejack raised a hand to silence her. Next to Applejack stood Rarity, who looked down trodden and kicked her hooves at the dirt.

“Trixie,” Applejack said with all seriousness. “We need to apologize fer how we treated you when we first met you. And fer how we didn’t help you after the amulet thing. Ah never realized how hard it was to have everypony know something shameful or humiliating about you, and how hard it was to ignore their stares and comments. So uh… can we be friends? Like real friends this time?”

Rarity raised her head. “I’ll make free dresses for you and get you a ticket to the gala.”

Trixie rubbed at her eyes. “I… um… I made some chai. You wanna come in and drink some with me?”

Applejack might have hated tea, but that didn’t affect her answer none. “Sure.”

Rarity beamed at her. “That sounds most lovely, darling. Can we also gossip? I hear some interesting rumors about you and Maud.”

Trixie’s cheeks went a little pink as she led them in. “I uh, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
