"Mommy? Are we there yet?" The energetic foal could hardly contain himself, almost a blur of light blue as he tore in circles around the interior of the carriage. His mother laughed gently, holding a hoof in front of him to bring him to a halt.

"Calm down, Spark. We're almost there." Failing to placate her young one, Trixie sighed as she thought back to that day. Things had been almost polar opposites back then; she had been the famous one, the "Great and Powerful Trixie," and Twilight Sparkle had just been another face in the crowd. Now things were reversed. Most everypony in Equestria knew who Twilight Sparkle was, and hardly anypony remembered Trixie as anything more than a crackpot street performer.

Suddenly, the carriage shuddered to a halt, and the pony pulling shouted, "We're here!" Spark jetted from the carriage, followed by Trixie. She stopped a moment to unhitch the pony from the front of the carriage, then they gathered Spark and approached the library they had travelled all this way to visit. Raising a hoof, Trixie knocked.

"Hello?" A familiar face peeked out of the open door to greet them: light purple coat, dark purple and pink mane. No doubt about it, this was…

"Twilight? I'm not sure if you remember me. It's Trixie." Recognition dawned on the purple unicorn's face, followed by a subtle uneasiness. She had obviously not forgotten Trixie's past behavior.

"I know we had our differences in the past, but I want to move past all that. What you did back then was so amazing, it made me realize how hollow my life really was. I turned myself around, though. This is my husband, Patch, and my son. We named him Spark, after you. Can we come in?"

Twilight smiled. "Sure, I suppose."

A/N: Bam. Not counting this note, exactly 300 words of Trixie goodness. I wrote this for Equestria Daily's 300 word challenge, and although I was a bit frustrated at not being able to put everything I wanted into it, I rather had fun trying to communicate the message in fewer words than normal. Unfortunately, I missed the deadline to send it in. Oh well. As always, tell me what you think.
