Trixie's New Big Red Life p5

Trixie's ears flopped down and she gave the unicorn her best squee smile.

"Uh…hello…"

Rarity lunged herself at her but Big Macintosh had intercepted keeping the dress making unicorn at bay.

"LET ME AT HER!!! LET ME AT HER!!!"

"Miss Rarity, calm down!"

"She has to pay for what she did to my hair!!!"

"…Yer hair looks fine."

"It's what she did to hair when we first met that was unforgivable!!"

Big Macintosh made her step back a little and gave her a serious look, "What did she do 'exactly'?"

"She turned my hair in to a literal rat's nest, and if that wasn't bad enough she made my hair green too, the worse hair color there could ever possibly be!!"

Big Macintosh turned his gaze back towards Trixie. "Is this true?"

Trixie shrank a little under his stare, she felt like a little filly who had just got caught breaking the neighbor's window. "Um…well you see Trixie was putting on a show and…"

Big Macintosh stomped his hoof on the ground, making Trixie flinch. "It's a simple question, yes or no?!"

"Um, well…yes."

His stare changed back in to default look "Then it sounds like you owe her an apology."

"An apolo-ME?! You want me, the Great and Powerful Trixie, to give an apology to this…"

Big Macintosh cut her off with his trademark "Eeyup!"

"But-But…" Big Macintosh stared at her again and just like that she gave in. She walked over to Rarity with her head hanging low.

"The great and powerful Trixie is sorry for what she did to your hair." she said quietly.

Rarity looked down at Trixie and then at Big Macintosh with a look on her face which silently said 'Is she serious?'

Big Macintosh said nothing but nodded with a small smile.

"Well, while I do appreciate your sincerity I'm afraid a simple worded apology will not be enough to make amends for your actions."

"WHAT?!" Trixie roared. "The Great and Powerful Trixie actually gives you an apology and you have THE NERVE to…"

Big Macintosh put his hoof in front of Trixie cutting her off.

"And exactly what would she have to do make amends?"

Trixie's jaw dropped for yet another time that day. She was about to protest when Rarity also cut her off.

"Well I do need a live model to put the finishing touches on some dresses."

"She'd be thrilled to!"

"Big Macintosh!" Trixie nearly shouted. "Could I talk to you for a moment over here."

Big Macintosh calmly walked over to her as if he hadn't done anything wrong at all.

"Do you honestly expect me to just help her out as an apology to what Trixie did to her?!"

"Eeyup!"

Trixie said nothing but stared down at the ground intensely as if trying to figure something out. Finally she looked up at him and said in a flat tone "You're not going to let me come home till I've helped her, aren't you?"

"Nnnope."

"Sigh. Fine!"

"Oh come on, Ah'm sure it won't be all that. Ya get to wear some pretty dresses, and ya'll like lookin' nice don't ya?"

Trixie blushed. "Di-Did you just flirt with me?"

"Ah complimented you." he said with a stone hard poker face.

Trixie was about to push the issue further when Rarity suddenly grabbed her and dragged her back to her house. "Come along, then, those dresses aren't going to model themselves!"

Trixie glared at Big Macintosh as she was dragged away, only to see the him smiling back. "Have fun," he called.

Trixie rolled her eyes. "Have fun, he says..." she grumbled. Still, she went willingly with Rarity to her house. Once inside, Trixie sighed and looked around, taking in the many dresses, mirrors and sewing supplies. An impressive sight, she admitted to herself. "So what is it Trixie is supposed to do...?"

"Just stand there in front of the mirrors," Rarity explained. She had already set about the task of gathering up the dresses and the various ribbons, threads and pearls she would be adding to them. Trixie frowned but complied and stood in front of the mirror. Rarity threw the first dress to her. "Put that on, would you?"

Again, Trixie complied and put on the dress. It was a red, silk gown, trimmed with black lace and adorned with emeralds. "Trixie must admit," she said, "this is a lovely gown." Rarity smiled proudly as she began to stitch a bit of lace in place. "Of course, the Great and Powerful Trixie could have mad it MUCH better. OW!" Trixie jumped and rubbed her flank with one hoof, glaring at Rarity.

Rarity just smiled innocently. "Oops... clumsy me..."

Trixie rolled her eyes but let Rarity continue. "I simply must ask, whatever happened to your hat and cape?"

Trixie frowned, sometimes she forgot just how much she missed her outfit. "Oh…I'm afraid there gone now."

Trixie had her head hung down but Rarity twisted herself to look her in the face. "Gone?" she asked incredulously.

"Gone!" was Trixie's firm response.

Rarity got the hint from Trixie's tone that it wasn't something she enjoyed talking so Rarity moved on.

"Okay then this dress looks just about right. Let's move on to the next shall we?"

Rarity yanked off the dress from Trixie with surprising ease and placed a new one on her at impossible speeds. Trixie blinked a couple of times in confusion, how did she do that?

Rarity brought out a new dress and quickly placed that one on Trixie. This one was blue, or to be more specific, Trixie blue. It was covered in diamonds with snow white line patterns.

"So Big Macintosh huh?" queried Rarity.

"What about him?"

"Are you and him…you know…together?"

Trixie's eyes widened at the implication that the unicorn was getting at. She started to blush the most crimson red Rarity had ever seen, she couldn't help but giggle at the sight.

"T-T-T-The Great and Powerful Trixie is GREAT and POWERFUL, the very idea of her having affectionate feelings for such a heyseed is…"

Rarity cut her off "So your not together…" Rarity started to put on a playful smirk. "But you DO like him…" Trixie's blush got bigger. "In THAT way."

Trixie bit her bottom lip and rolled her eyes up in a nervous manner. "I-I-I don't have any idea what you're talking about!"

"Mmmhmm…" Rarity placed a few more pins inside the dress. "The fact that you stopped speaking in the Third Person proves I'm right."

Trixie opened her mouth but no words came out, so she decided to close it. Such was the price for being utterly speechless.

Rarity took some measuring tape and ran it along the hem of the dress. "Can't say I quite blame you. Even the little children enjoy his company, especially on Nightmare Night when he gives them Haunted Heyrides. There, all done. You can take the dress off now."

The sound of a ringing bell alerted the unicorns that Rarity's Boutique had a new customer. But this customer was actually just a friend paying a visit, a shy pegasus friend to be exact, her name was Fluttershy. She was a yellow pony with pink hair, and Trixie recognized her almost immediately.

"Rarity I…oh are you busy?"

"Not at all Fluttershy, we had just finished." said Rarity taking the dress off of Trixie.

"Wait a second, Trixie recognizes you!"

Fluttershy shrank a little under Trixie gaze. "Y-You do?"

"Yes. You were in the audience on the day when Trixie pitted her powers against your friends."

Fluttershy shrunk even further.

"I was?"

"Yes. But you left before the show even began."

"I did?" she was practically squeeking now.

Trixie was now standing over the poor frightened Fluttershy. "Yes. You did…The Great and Powerful Trixie…"

Trixie stopped in mid sentence as Fluttershy rather quickly dashed out of the store leaving Trixie speechless for a second time that day.

"Wait! Come back!" Trixie ran out the store following Fluttershy's path. "The Great and Powerful Trixie only wants to talk!!"

However, Trixie's path was obstructed when she crashed in to a different winged pony, one with a rainbow mane.

After rubbing her sore head Trixie opened her eyes at her the second party of her collision. She didn't like what she saw. This was another pony she had humiliated in her challenge against Ponyville, but that was the entire problem.

Technically Trixie hadn't REALLY beaten her, she had just humiliated her away. If memory served correctly her name was Rainbow Dash, and she doubted she would be any happier to see her than Rarity was.

"Heh. Heh. Sorry about that, I was trying a new move and it still needs some work…"

Rainbow Dash was very nonchalant about the crash but the instant she opened her eyes her attitude immediately changed.

"YOU!!!" Rainbow Dash snarled.

Rainbow Dash glared furiously at her. "You and me got some unfinished business!"
