(Trixie’s Trailer)

“Okay, we have about a couple of hours after what you did to Twilight and her friends.” Trixie said as she began to repair the wheel to her trailer home.

“You sure they won’t find us here?” Veronica asked as lifted her head from off the couch she was on.

“Unless they have a way to track us down. And even if they did, they’ll have a hard time finding us seeing how the trailer is invisible. How are you feeling?”

“A bit tired, but I’m okay.”

“That’s good to hear. So mind explaining to Trixie what just happen back at the ruined castle?”

“I...I don’t know really. One minute I was trying to figure out a way to escape, then the next thing I know some kinda of mysterious voice took control of my body.”

“Like an evil spirit or a curse?”

“I don’t know…..but I don’t like it…at all.” Veronica slumped down onto the couch as she covered herself with a blanket that Trixie gave when she placed the countess on the couch. “Don’t you know some kind of magic that can deal with something like this?”

“Trixie doesn’t, but she might be able to know somepony that help with your problem.”

“Who would that be?”

“From what Trixie heard from the ponies in Ponyville, there is a zebra named Zecora that might be able to deal or figure out the problem you just had.”

“You think this zebra will be able to help me?”

“Maybe, but we’ll have to come back here next time when the heat dies down on us.”

“Why can’t we go see this zebra now?”

“Because Twilight and her friends will return once they recover from what you did. Knowing her she’ll end up sending some kind of letter to the princesses about where we are. So we need to leave ASAP before Princess Celestia or Princess Luna send in the royal guard to search the forest for us.”

“Princess...Celestia….” Veronica mumbled as she place a hand on her head.

“You okay?”

“Y-Yeah…J-Just that name sounds familiar for some reason. Do you know how to fix the wheel to the trailer?”

“Of course Trixie does.” The Unicorn said as she lifted the book up with her magic. “With this book and Trixie’s amazing magic, she’ll have this trailer mobile in no time!” She said as a piece of the wheel broke off. “.....Trixie can fix that.”

“We’re gonna be here for a while.”

“Have faith in the Great and Powerful Trixie. For she has the skills to fix this.” Upon saying that, another piece of the wheel fell off again. “.....She can fix that as well.” She said which caused Veronica to have a deadpanned expression on her face.

“Yeah, we’re gonna be here for a while.”

“We are telling you sister that sending your student and her friends is a bad idea.” Luna said as she walked back and forth in the throne room.

“I have faith in my student and her friends in completing her mission.” Celestia said as she was busy filling out paper forms.

“And what if they fail at it? You know what Shalltear is capable of?”

“I know what’s she’s capable of. But judging from the letter that Twilight sent me, it would appears that Shalltear is weaken. Which means Twilight will be able to bring her in peacefully and without-” Halfway into her sentence, a letter from a certain faithful student appeared right in front of the sun princess. Celestia grabbed the letter from in front of her as she began to read it. “....It would appear we might have a situation on our hands.”

“Let me guess, Twilight and her friends failed in her mission?” Luna asked, only for Celestia to say nothing but roll the letter up.

“I will be sending some of the Royal Guards to search the Everfree Forest until Twilight and her friends recover from their…recent attack from Shalltear.” Celestia said as she pulled herself up from her throne seat as her horn began to glow. “I will be back shortly sister.” with that, the sun princess teleported off the the guard barracks. Leaving Luna alone in the throne room as a bat pony wearing a ninja like clothing appeared behind her.

“Princess Luna, we have the Lunar Guards ready at your command.”

“Good, relay this message to them.” Luna said as she turned to face the bat pony. “Have them search the Everfree Forest for Shalltear.” She said as she levitated a picture of what the countess looks like. “Find her and take her out no matter what.”

“.....You want us to attack….a child?”

“Do not be fooled by her innocents. Let your guard down around her and she’ll kill you without you knowing.”

“Are you sure you want us to kill her? Wouldn’t your sister be-.”

“What my sister fails to see is that monster planning for our downfall. You are to find Shalltear and kill her at once. Do whatever it takes to bring this monster down, without killing any ponies or innocent monsters. Got it?” The bat pony simply nodded as he disappeared into the shadows. “Soon Shalltear, your plan to rain chaos across Equestria will end here.”

(Ponyville, Twilight’s home)

“ACHOO!” Sneezed the lavender unicorn as grabbed a tissue to wipe her nose with. “Okay, the letter is sent. *Sniff* Now all we can do is wait for Princess Celestia to reply.”

“Are you sure it was a good idea to get the Princesses involved?” asked Fluttershy. “Maybe we should just let her go, and see if she’ll come back with us.”

“I doubt it seeing she’s with Trixie of all ponies.” Rainbow Dash said as huffed in annoyance. “ I can’t believe that kid escaped us.”

“Well she did look really mad when we trapped her. Maybe she doesn’t like enclosed spaces?” said Pinkie Pie while helping Rarity pulling spider webs from her main.

“Be that as it may, we can’t allow her to roam free on her own. After what she displayed when we first found her and recently, we need the princesses to help us in this situation.” Twilight said as she blew her nose on another piece of tissue paper.

“So what do we do now?” Applejack asked.

“*Sniff* For now we wait until Princess Celestia or Princess Luna sends a letter about the situation with this Shalltear girl.”

“I thought her name was Veronica?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“Whatever her name is, we just have to wait and see.” Twilight said as she wrapped herself around with a blanket as she levitated a book from the shelf towards her. “Till then I’m going to look up some information about vampires, or more specifically Veronica.”

(Trixie’s Trailer)

“So how’s the wheel coming along Trixie?” Veronica asked as she looked over the unicorn’s shoulder.

“It’s….going well. Trixie should have the wheel done in no time.” Trixie said, only for her to see Veronica stare at her with a blank expression.

“You know there’s nothing wrong with asking for help.”

“Trixie does not need help. She knows what she’s doing.” The mare said as she levitated a box full of nails along with a hammer. “She’s just out of practice that’s all.”

“You know lying doesn’t help your case Trixie.”

“Oh yeah well…..shut up.”

“Nice come back.”

“Hey, I don’t see you trying to fix this stupid wheel.” Trixie said as she began to hammer a nail into the somewhat broken wheel.

“I’m a little kid with little to no knowledge of my past. What did you expect when you found me in the forest…plus I don't even know how to fix a wheel."

“How can somepony who took down Twilight and her friends not know how to-.” Before Trixie could finish, she accidentally slammed the hammer onto her thumb causing her to yelp in pain. “Motherbucker!” Trixie yelled as she quickly covered her mouth and looked at the young vampire. Who was trying not to laugh at Trixie’s pain and outburst.

“Y-You okay Trixie?” Veronica asked as she let out snorts and giggles. “T-That looked like it hurts.”

“Trixie is fine.” She lied as she started blowing on her injured thumb. “She meant to do that only to try to cheer you up.”

“Sure you were, and I’m not a tap dancing on the moon.”

“Whatever!” Trixie said as she lifted herself off the floor as she walked off into the bathroom. “I need to take care of this. I’ll be right back.” As Trixie makes her way into the other room, Veronica pulled herself off the couch as she walks over to the unfinished wheel. Looking down at the wheel, she felt the same strange voice appear into her head.

“How pathetic. You think the Great and Powerful Trixie would be useful then this.”

“You again?”

“Yes me you idiot. Did you forget that I live inside your body? Or should I say you live inside my body.”

“What do you want? Didn’t you say you weren’t going to talk or something?”

“You don’t tell me what to do harlet. I’m only here to take care of something that the stupid mare could do with a simple spell.”

“And why should I trust you after what you did before?”

“Whether you like or not we’re stuck together. Just because I can’t control my body fully, dosen’t mean I can’t use parts of my body to do certain things.” Veronica felt the same force from before move her hand as the wheel levitated into the air.

“What are you doing?”

“Taking care of the problem your idiot friend failed to do.” The voice said as a crimson aura wrapped itself around the wheel. In a blink of an eye, the aura disappeared as the wheel looked like it was brand new. “There, the deed is done.”

“Um...wow….thanks?”

“I don’t need you thanks welp. Don’t expect me to help you with stuff like this.” The voice said as it released it’s grip on Veronica. Just as it did, Trixie returned with her thumb bandage up.

“The Great and Powerful Trixie has returned with her thumb magically healed up!” Trixie said, showing the countess her bandaged up thumb.

“Nice to see that you’re okay now.” Veronica said as she pointed to the wheel. “Fixed the wheel while you’re gone.”

“How the hay did you do that?” She asked as she levitated the wheel towards herself. “I thought you said that you didn’t know how to fix it?”

“You know that mysterious voice I was telling you about? Well it appears it helped us out with our wheel problem.”

“.....Okay...Yeah we’re gonna get that looked at once we leave the forest. For now let’s get this onto the trailer and get out of this Celestia forsaken forest.”

“I think I’ll stay inside.” Veronica said as she hops onto the couch. “I’m still a little tired from out run in at the abandoned castle.”

“It shouldn’t take me that long to get the wheel hooked onto the trailer. Once I’m done we can leave.” With a glow from her horn, Trixie teleported outside to place the newly repaired wheel onto the trailer. Leaving Veronica alone as she turned the TV on in the room she was in.

“Guess I’ll just wait and relax for a bit until Trixie needs me for something.”

“Which I’m pretty sure she will seeing how she can’t do anything by herself.”

“You’re not nice.”

“I’m never nice.”
