My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Matchmaker

Chapter 13

“wow. Zilver really said that?” Ash asked. The humans gathered at Orion’s engine room when they learned of what had transpired hours earlier to the guys.

“yep. The Scumbag said that he was gonna have nothing to do with Applejack or their foal.” Aura angrily said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“yeah, but Spike and Rarity have a big problem.” Ash said. “thanks to Sweetie Belle and her love for Spike, there’s a chance that their relationship is over and done with before it began. And he had such a good plan to win her love.”

“well, you haven’t keep keeping an eye on Shadow.” Satoshi said. “he’s in love with Dash but since she’s going out with Soarin’, he’s keeping his feelings bottled up. Eventually, they’re gonna explode out.”

“well, Twi and Halo are reaching a breaking point. Literally. I think if they don’t talk soon, they won’t have a chance to reconcile this.” Req muttered.

“well, me, Bahamut, and Sora can safely say we don’t have to worry about this.” Jax said as she leaned back.

“aren’t you guys lucky?” the rest sarcastically replied.

“but seriously, we need to do something for them.’ Sora said. “If not, this could cause a lot of damage to them.”

“especially Starlight.” Req added. “If a expectant mother gets under a lot of pressure, it can have very bad consequences on the baby. I‘m glad Jess was strong willed when she was pregnant.”

The gang looked at each other and nodded. “well, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… Requiem, time to unleash the romance monger.”

Requiem disappeared for a moment and reappeared dressed as Cupid. “I’m ready to go to work.” she jokingly said. A arrow tipped with the heart symbol fell out of the plastic bow she held. Everyone gagged at the outfit and instantaneously came up with the same reaction:

“Lose the outfit!”

Trixie & Lily/Luna
True Love

The moon shone brightly down onto the land, illuminating the sky.

Trixie sighed happily as she rested her head on Lily’s lap. “is there such a thing as a perfect night?”

“I’d say… yes.” Lily replied, kissing her on the forehead. “you’re perfect, Trixie.”

“Same to you, Lily.”

Lil smiled at Trixie. The 2 shared a long kiss on the lips. The 2 broke the kiss and continued looking at the stars.

After 5 minutes of just looking at the night sky, Trixie said, “you know, I always felt comfortable at night. I felt at peace, in a sense.”

“really?”

“Yeah. Even more so with you.”

“aw.” Lily kissed her on the forehead again. That also made Lily think of something, something she probably should’ve asked before. “um… Trixie? Speaking of the night, what do you think of Princess Luna?”

“the princess? Well, she’s all right. She’s good looking but she’s got nothing on you.”

Lily got nervous. “really? You don’t think she’s sweet or caring, or has a nice plot?”

Trixie chuckled. “Why would I worry about that when I have you? My heart belongs to you, Lily. Not Twilight, not Luna, not anypony else.”

“oh. Well, that’s good to hear.” Lily replied with a hint of regret.

“Although, I will admit, she does have a nice bod.”

Lily internally breathed a sigh of relief. Least that’s one aspect Trixie likes about Luna.

“I think I made a mistake.” Luna told Celestia, Cadence, and Armor back in her room. She took the flower lily out of her hair, dropping her Lily disguise and reverting back to Day-Time Luna.

“how so?” Cadence asked.

“Cause Trixie’s in love with Lily and not Me.”

“What do you mean?” Celestia asked.

“well, you know me and Trixie have been going out for a couple weeks right.”

“Think I heard you mention they were the best 2 weeks of your life.” Armor said.

“and they were, but… I think I built Lily up too much. Trixie’s too in love with her. I mentioned ‘me’ tonight and she didn’t think much about me. Although she did admit I have a nice body.” nobody’s arguing that statement. “What am I going to do if she finds out that Lily is really… me?”

Nobody was really sure what to say about that. “well, it could go one of two ways…” Armor started. Luna looked at him with fear in her eyes. “1; Trixie will hate you for leading her astray and never want to see you again.” Luna sadly looked away. That possibility scares her to death. “or 2; she won’t care and love you all the same.”

“I know. It’s the first option that scares me the most. I don‘t want to lose her. Trixie is the best thing that happened to me in a Long, Long time.”

Celestia and Cadence felt the same. While she missed Cosmos and Erys, Tia knew they were the best things to happen to her and Cadence felt the same with Armor and their coming child. Then, all 3 had the same idea.

“hey. I just got a crazy idea.” Cadence said. Luna sadly looked up at her. “How about a double date? Me and Armor with yo… I mean Lily and Trixie.”

“A double date?”

“yeah. We’ll go to Ponyville tomorrow, have some fun and, maybe, you reveal your true form to Trixie.”

“I-I don’t know, Cadence. It sounds like a good idea, but… but I’m not sure.”

“Trust me, Auntie Luna. It’ll go fine. You’ll see.”

Luna wasn’t sure. Like Armor said, if she does reveal that Lily was her all along, Trixie might hate her with a vengeance. Of course, she could still love Luna regardless. Still, the princess of the night wasn’t eager to put it to the test.

Trixie hummed a sigh as she messed with a white lily. “Ah, Lily. There’s no one better then you, my white angel.”

“you’re really love-struck, aren’t ya?” Twilight asked.

“yeah. Lily is just perfect.”

“well, be careful. Perfection can have a dark-side.”

“I am well aware of that, Twi. Remember, I thought you were perfect.”

“OH, I remember. Me and every other pony in the country remember.” Trixie chuckled nervously. Twi just chuckled. “so, what are you and Lily going to do tomorrow?”

“well, she wrote about coming tomorrow with Cadence and Armor.”

“Cadence and Armor?” Twi asked curiously. “how does she know them?”

“she's friends with Princess Luna. and, by extension, i guess she knows them.”

“huh.” Twi was curious that she didn’t know that. “They didn’t mention they knew a Lily.”

“you can’t expect your brother to tell you every aspect of his life.”

Twi lightly shrugged, remembering back to when she got the announcement for his wedding. “true.”

Trixie got up and put the flower into her mane. “See you later, Twilight. I got to go get ready.”

“get ready? But Lily’s not coming till tomorrow.”

“I know.” she turned to Twi and winked. “But a girl’s gotta be prepared.”

Luna, in her Lily guise, brushed her hair as Celestia’s sun began to set. Cadence opened the door and popped her head in. “You almost done, Luna?”

“Almost. Just putting on a few finishing touches.” she replied, putting a few ribbons in her mane.

“wow. You’re gonna make Trixie think she’s dating a princess.” Luna raised a eyebrow to her. “er… I mean...”

“I know what you meant, Cadence.” Luna took the flower out of her hair and fell into her day-time form. “I’m just worried about how she’ll react.”

Cadence gave her aunt a friendly pat on the back. “stay positive, Lulu. Just hope she’ll love you for who you are.”

Luna nodded with a sad sigh. She wasn’t sure about this. She grabbed the flower and put it in her hair, transforming into Lily. “well, *Deep sigh* let’s go.”

She took a few steps to the door before Cadence stopped her. “un… Auntie Lulu…” Cadence pointed out the window to a moonless night.

“oh, geez. Almost forgot.”

Luna quickly used her magic and raised the moon as fast as she could. The sudden appearance caused the tides to shift suddenly at the port towns, causing tsunamis.

“Okay. Let’s go.” Luna said as she walked out the door.

Cadence held a hoof to her mouth and bit it, wincing at the destruction she’s imagining. “we’re gonna hear about this.” she muttered.

Trixie hummed as she brushed her own hair in front of her mirror, making long and smooth.

“well, aren’t you looking fancy tonight?” Zilver said. “Lily’s gonna think she’s dating a princess.”

“yeah.” that comment sent Trixie back to last night and what Lily had said. “you know, Lily mentioned something about Luna last night. Said she was caring and sweet. She even said she had a nice plot.”

“well, didn’t you say that Lily was friends with Luna?”

“yeah, I did.”

“Maybe the two of them had a thing.” Trixie gave him a sneer. Zil heard his words and winced. “that came out wrong, didn‘t it?”

“Ya think?” Trixie exclaimed. She sighed as she looked in the mirror. “I just hope this double date goes well. I never met royalty before.”

“it’ll be fine.” Zil walked over and kissed his sister on the forehead. “trust me.”

Trixie smiled, gave her brother a quick hug, and got up. “thanks, Zil. You’re the best.” she walked over to the closet and pulled out a few dresses. “now, which one looks best on me?”

Several hours later, Cadence, Armor, and Lu… I mean Lily arrived at Ponyville via train, clad in fancy clothes, and met with Trixie, who was dressed in a seductive get-up, at Cavern on the Green, the most expensive and fanciest restaurant in Ponyville. Trixie didn’t like coming here, having painful memories of what happened last time she was here. she tried to seduce Twilight here but it went soul. it lead to her casting the spell that turned them human for a month. Lily reassured her that it’ll be okay and the group went in.

Laughter and chatter filled the best restaurant in Equestria. Thanks to Armor’s and Cadence’s status, they were able to get a great table between the band and aquarium. Cadence and Armor were just finishing telling a story.

“…and then…” Armor gulped down his food. “…and then he slips in on Luna in the bath.”

“Oh, no.” Trixie and Cadence laughed. Lily, however, tried to hide her blushing. “what happened next?” Trix asked.

“Luna sent him flying half-way to Maredrid. Right into a farmer’s chicken coop.” the trio laughed again. Lily pretended to laugh, not wanting to blow her cover too soon.

“Oh my goodness. I haven’t laughed like that in ages.” Trixie cried, wiping a tear while she still laughed. “so, what happened to the poor shlup?”

“don’t know. He stayed in Maredrid. Although…” Armor used his magic to summon a postcard, “…we did get a postcard from him.” Trixie took it and looked at it. Cadence, Lily and a passing waitress leaned in to see the Solar Guard with a wide grin, a Hawaiian shirt, and mare in each arm.

“ladies man.” they all said. The seated trio looked up at the waitress. “sorry.” she said before walking off.

Trixie continued chuckling. Cadence saw this as a opportunity. “so, Trixie, what do you think of Luna?”

Lily gulped. She knew Cadence would bring this up. Trixie stirred her drink. “she’s a’ight but why would I care?”

Cadence shrugged. “well, I don’t know. Just asking. But, if you could, pretend you weren’t dating Lily for a moment, what would be the best aspect of Luna you like?”

Trixie looked to Lily for confirmation. She nodded and gestured Trixie to go on. “un, well… …mmm… well, she’s got a nice bod and I want to know who does her hair but, other then that…”

Lily got a sad expression and Armor noticed it. “y-you sure about that? There’s nothing else about her you like, like maybe her personality, her laugh…”

“Why should I?” Trixie interrupted. “I’m not going out with her. I got me Lily. Every other Mare out there, in my eyes, is UUUUGLY. Cadence, right now, looks like a Diamond Dog in my eyes.”

Cadence got a little pit peeved by that comment. “gee, thanks. Always pleasant to know what I look like.” she sharply bit into a breadstick.

Now Lily got really nervous, to where she started to freak out. “s-s-so what does Luna look like to you?”

“Manatee.” Trixie nonchalantly said, stirring her drink.

That comment hit her home. Armor gulped in fear. “M-Manatee?”

“Manatee.” Trixie swigged down her drink in one gulp. “and truth be told, I don’t know why most colts find her sexy. I mean, she has a nice bod, but I don’t see it. And from what I heard from Twilight’s friends, she’s pretty scary. That I can see since she was Nightmare Moon and all. Truthfully, she scares the bejeezus out of me.”

Lily, or rather Luna, entered full-out panic mode. She rapidly breathed and bit her hooves. Trixie noticed this. “Lily, you okay?” Armor and Cadence backed their chairs as far back as they could, leaving Trixie confused.

“I...I…I…I...I…” Lily didn’t know what to do. Her marefriend just told her that Luna was just a scary mare. “I need some air.” she quickly got up and ran out.

Trixie was confused by what was going on here. She got up and went after Lily. “Thanks for the meal.” she told Cadence and Armor before running off.

“how do you think this is going to end?” Armor asked.

“not well.”

Lily ran out as fast as she could and ran as far as the edge of town before stopping and panting. Trixie ran up behind her and panted as well. “why’d you run out like that, Lil?”

“Stop! Calling me that.” she exclaimed.

“Why? That’s your name, isn’t it?”

“No. no it’s not.” Lily looked back to Trixie with a mixture of sadness and anger in her eyes. Trixie was confused and fearful of that look. Lily reached up and took the flower out of her hair.

Her body glowed and grew till it was the size of Luna’s night-form. A tearful Luna looked at a stunned Trixie. “y-you… you’re Luna?”

“Yes. I’m the Mare who scares the bejeezus out of you.” she cried. She tossed the lily to the ground and took to the skies, leaving a stunned Trixie behind.

Luna silently cried and wiped her eyes of any tears, flying as fast as she could to Canterlot.

Trixie fell to her knees, still stunned that her Marefriend was the Princess of the Night. She used her magic to bring the lily Luna used over to her. “Luna…” she looked up to Canterlot then back down to the flower.

Luna sadly laid in her bed, head buried in a pillow as Celestia comforted her.

“she just… made it out that I’m a monster in her eyes.” Luna said, trying not to shed a tear.

“these things happen, Luna. You can’t think that everyone’s perfect or else you’ll get hurt.”

A teary-eyed Luna removed her face from the pillow and looked at her sister. “was it like that with you and Cosmos?”

Celestia nodded. “more then once. There were times when he hurt me and… times I hurt him. But we seemed to have gotten our act together when Erys was born.”

“but did he tell you you were a monster or ugly as sin?”

“Well… no, but…”

“Then you don’t know what I’m going though right now.”

A knock came from the door. Luna looked away. Celestia gently patted her back. The knock came again. “Come in.” Celestia said.

A Lunar Pony walked in and bowed. “Princess Celestia, Princess Luna has a visitor who wishes to see her.”

“who?” Luna asked.

“A Unicorn named Trixie Lulamoon.”

“Trixie?” Luna gasped. “did she come here to ridicule me again? To hurt me even more?”

“no. she just wants to talk to you.” Luna looked away from the guard and out the window. “your majesty?” Luna looked up at the moon. Looking at it reminded her of the time she, as Lily, and Trixie had.

“Tell her… I’ll meet her in the throne room.”

The guard bowed and left. Celestia scratched her head in confusion. "Lulu…?"

“It’s okay, Tia. I can handle this.”

Trixie looked up at a stained glass depiction of Twilight and her friends defeating Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Chrysalis. On another stain glass, the Humans arrival and total destruction of Nightmare Moon was depicted. She heard hoof steps walk in and a door close. Without looking, she knew who it was. “hi, Li… Luna.”

Luna walked in but stopped at the doors. “Trixie.” she said with disdain.

“Guess I deserve that.” Trixie turned around and stared at her.

“Why are you here, Trixie?” Luna asked in the same tone as before.

“I… I came to apologize. I just said those things so Lily would think I loved her more then anyone else in the world.”

“well, it worked.”

“and the worst part is I meant it. But, if I had known that you were Lily all along, I wouldn’t have said anything.”

“It’s too late for that now, Trixie. You broke my heart and tossed it asunder.” tears started to well up in her eyes. “you really hurt me, Trixie!”

“I know and I know nothing I say will do anything to repair it. I know a broken heart is a bad thing. Trust me…I know from experience.” Trixie remembered the events of the fiasco with them turning human and Nightmare Moon returning. “but… but I still love you.”

Luna scoffed. “now your just saying things.”

“I mean it.” Trixie summoned up the flower used by Luna to turn into Lily. “and to show you that I mean it…” Trixie looked up at Luna and smiled. Luna got curious to what Trixie was planning to do. Trixie tossed the flower to the floor and smashed it.

Luna gasped in shock when Trixie made sure it was destroyed. “I don’t love Lily, not anymore when I love you.” Luna just stood there in shock. Trixie sighed when she didn’t get a response. “but… if you aren’t going to say anything…” Trixie lowered her head and walked to the door, stopping near Luna. “I guess I’ll be on my way.” she used her magic to summon another lily; this one not magically enhanced. She placed it in Luna’s hair and kissed Luna on the cheek. “That’s the only lily I need.”

Celestia, Cadence, and Armor watched from behind a pillar. “Come on, Luna. Forgive her already.” Cadence winced.

Trixie took a few steps to leave when she was suddenly turned around and kissed by Luna.

Trixie went wide-eyed at first but gave in and let Luna kiss her. Tia, Cadence, and Armor silently cheered ‘yes.’

Luna broke the kiss and gave a tearful smile. They both leaned forward and lightly touched their foreheads together. “you know how to make a girl happy, you know that?” Luna softly said.

“well, I know more then one way, Lulu.”

Luna giggled like a school-girl. “come on. Let’s go into my room.”

Trixie smiled and kissed her ‘new’ marefriend on the snout. Luna took Trixie’s hoof and lead Trixie to her room.
