Stixie, Twixie, or... Sunlight?
Chapter 2: The Second Part, 'cause you asked for it.
Previous ChapterStarlight and Sunset gave each other a confused look, not hearing Twilight. On the other hoof, Trixie looked at Twilight, a tinge of blush reddening her otherwise blue fur.
"Me..?", she whispered back.
Twilight nodded. The two mares looked at each other, both of the faces now red. All of a sudden, a white flash made the two mares jump, and Discord thrust his snout in between Trixie and Twilight.
"You know", Discord whispered, slinging an arm around Twilight, "Love triangles like these normally end with murder. And I'm putting the weapon in Twilight's hooves."
With a snap of his claw, a bloody knife appeared in front of Twilight. She jumped, startled, almost falling off of her chair. Using her own magic to make the knife disappear, she shot an angry glare at Discord. "Discord! Why can't you just leave?!", she snapped at the draconequus.
"Fine. But there isn't this kind of drama at my place.", Discord grumbled, snapping his claw and teleporting away.
Starlight and Sunset then looked at Twilight, still completely confused. Clearing her throat, Starlight finally spoke. "Um, Twilight, what was that about?", she asked, looking to her mentor.
Twilight gulped. "Oh.... N-nothing..."
Trixie looked from Starlight to Twilight, unable to keep her mouth shut. "Twilight said I'm the pony she likes!", she burst out quickly, slapping a hoof to her mouth immediately afterwards.
"Trixie!", Twilight glared at the unicorn.
Trixie gave Twilight an apologetic smile. Starlight let out a gasp.
"Is that why you didn't want me being friends with her?", she asked after a moment of recollection.
"Partly...", Twilight replied, sounding more and more awkward.
Starlight looked at Trixie. "So who is it that you like?"
Trixie's eyes widened. "I l-like... um...", she stuttered, startled by the sudden question.
Sunset heaved a sigh, cutting Trixie off before she could find her tongue. She got up from her seat, walking up to Twilight.
"Twilight, this has been... interesting, and all, but I think I'm going to head out. Princess Celestia said she wanted to see me, and you seem to be busy enough without me getting in the way."
Twilight stopped Sunset with a hoof. "Don't go! I.. we-"
Sunset cut her off, pushing Twilight's hoof away. "If I wanted to get involved in drama like this, I would've stayed at CHS."
Saying a quick goodbye, Sunset made her way out the door, closing it softly behind her. Starlight was still glaring at Trixie, while Trixie gave Twilight a sympathetic look. Twilight heaved a sigh.
"So..?", Starlight prompted Trixie again.
Trixie blushed, and looked from Twilight to Starlight. "Can't I just say both of you?"
"No!", Twilight and Starlight shouted in unison.
"That figures...", Trixie muttered heaving a sigh.
After a few moments of awkward silence, Starlight asked Trixie yet again.
Trixie looked at both Twilight and Starlight before getting up and storming out of the room. Watching Trixie go, Starlight let out a heavy sigh, putting her face flat on the table. Twilight put a comforting hoof on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Starlight. I didn't mean to drive her off...", Twilight apologized.
Starlight let out another sigh. "It's not your fault. It's mine," she mumbled, her voice muffled by the table.
Twilight was about to reply when Starlight continued, "I'm the one who invited her over here. I'm the doofus who kept pestering her."
"That may be true, but we can still go and apologize...", Twilight reminded her.
Starlight lifted her head. "You think she's still in town?"
Twilight shrugged. "I'm not sure, but we can always try."
Starlight gave a determined nod. "Let's do it.
Trixie was in her wagon, pacing around and mumbling angrily to herself. She let out an angry snort when she heard an knock at her door. Now who could that be?, she asked herself as she walked over to answer. Trixie opened the door to see Twilight and Starlight standing there, apologetic looks on their faces.
"What do you two want?", Trixie asked in an irritated tone.
Starlight looked at Twilight, who gave her a reassuring look in return. She stepped closer to Trixie. "I... I'm sorry, for pestering you about who you liked. I shouldn't have been so impatient with you..."
Twilight stepped up next to Starlight. "And I'm sorry as well, for making your visit more awkward then it should have been.."
Trixie looked from Starlight to Twilight, an odd expression on her face. She then nodded. "And I forgive you." She gave a warm smile, and wrapped her hooves around Twilight and Starlight in a warm hug.
Starlight looked up at Trixie with hopeful eyes. "So, who is it you like more anyway?"
The three mares broke up from their hug, and Trixie cleared her throat to answer the question. First, she slapped Starlight's face with a hoof, and then she gave an even bigger smile than before.
"I like both of you the same, featherbrain."
