It's About Trixie, This Time


by Lurks-no-More (c)2012




A powerful surge of magic woke Trixie up from pleasant dreams of fame, fortune and a certain purple unicorn in a maid's dress.

She opened her eyes and saw a sphere of bright, silvery-blue light hanging in mid-air. It filled her cramped garret with showers of sparks and a wind that made Trixie's mane flutter. She had just enough time to say "What the hay?" before it exploded.

When her eyes cleared, Trixie saw... herself, only wearing silver-rimmed spectacles, a slightly singed rune-embroidered cloak of midnight blue, and the most magnificient wizard's hat she'd ever seen, encrusted with jeweled stars, moons and suns and topped by a long silver tassle, currently on fire.

"Trixie!" she heard herself say in her best showmare's tone. "I am you from the Future!"

"That's impossible!" Trixie blurted. "Nopony can-"

"Do not doubt the Great and Powerful Trixie!" she snapped, then looked sheepish. "I learned the spell from Twilight Sparkle. But that's not important! What's important is that you must go back to Ponyville, make up with Twilight, and become her apprentice and marefriend! And don't give me that look, I remember the scrapbook I kept. And the poems."

Trixie blanched. "You really... Trixie will... but won't she... can we?"

"Yes, yes, nay, and oh yesss," the older Trixie said, grinning broadly. "Now, the fate of Equestria is in question, so listen closely! The riddling zebra is a villain, trust Zecora about him. Discord knows how to open the vault, so you have to convince him to help. Don't let Luna try the Sovereign Rune alone! And most importantly, the Cutie Mark Crusaders mustn't-"

There was another flash of magic, and Trixie was gone, leaving Trixie blinking in the sudden darkness. Suddenly, she smiled. Her life was about to get interesting!
After Twilight foolishly wasted her time-travel spell, who in Equestria can she turn to if she really really needs to warn somepony about the future?

I think you can all guess. :D

And yet another of my 300-word pony drabbles, this time featuring Trixie along with Trixie and more than a hint of Twixie shipping, too! Obviously inspired by "It's About Time", with a hint of No Time To Explain, too.

Why is shipping Trixie with Twilight Sparkle so popular? It's one of the most ludicrous ships in existence: they hate eachother's guts! I can't see either one of them harboring even a one-sided crush on the other. Twilight doesn't like how much trouble came from the showboating, and Trixie hated being shown up.
