This choice: The Sad and Hungry Trixie • Go Back...Chapter #7The Sad and Hungry Trixie by: Puffy   The azure blue mare groaned as she glared at the advertising poster in front of her, a reminder of far better days.
"Stupid bratty foals" she muttered as she crumpled the poster and flung it into a nearby waste basket with her magic. Then with a huff she turned back towards the bowl of onion rings she'd been munching on and levitated one up to her mouth, savoring its slightly greasy but rich flavor before devouring it
in a single hearty bite.
"Ugh, I hate my life!" Trixie moaned as she ate another two onion rings and washed them down with a slurp of a huge milk shake. Since the debacle of a performance in Ponyville, the showmare had both figuratively and literally fallen on hard times. Her inability to live up to her boast of having vanquished an Ursa
Major had spread quickly after her disastrous showing in the small town and pretty soon everypony's image of Trixie was not as a master illusionist and magician, but as a fraud and bully who embellished her talent, humiliated her audience and bewitched young foals with tall tales that encouraged them to imitate them in spite of the great danger they could put themselves in.
"Hmmf, because somepony saying they've defeated an Ursa means they want you to bring an Ursa to town...what bucking hogwash!" the unicorn cursed
as she swallowed another swig of her shake. "They act as though they've never heard a performer promote herself before... sigh* she plopped down dejectedly and took a bite from another onion ring. As she chewed the crunchy fried treat Trixie stared at the various food stuffs before. Food. It'd been the
only thing that really gave her any sense of comfort, the smell and taste of it helping to smooth away the awful memories of that miserable day and the
hardships she'd gone through since. Pizza didn't run her out of town for just trying to book a performance slot, ice cream's coldness was soothing unlike the
coldness in many a neighsayer's heart, and the burned lips she occasionally suffered from gobbling hot fresh baked cupcakes and cookies actually felt good
compared to the burn she felt from others telling her to "get over it."
Speaking of others...
"Trixie, I thought you were coming to the flea market with me." a stern yet gentle voice said from outside her room. Trixie groaned in frustration as the bedroom door opened with a shimmer of magic and a purple unicorn stepped in, her face wearing a mixture of disappointment and subdued resignation. "You've been holed up here ever sense you came back and haven't done anything or gotten to know anypony." she added with some concern.
"I already told you Twilight, Trixie wasn't leaving her room today nor this library, especially after what happened with those three yipping parrots!" the former showmare replied as she stuffed another three onion rings into her mouth. "Besides Trixie already kept her promise to model for Rarity's new 'plus-sized' fashions and taste tested Pinkie's newest 'flavor' of jello mold." she said the bit about the jello with audible disgust.
Twilight sighed and with a glimmer of magic pulled the lounging mare towards her, Trixie appearing not to notice as she took a long slurp of her shake. She wasn't gonna let this go.
"Yes you did help Rarity and Pinkie, in fact those are about the only things you've down since I let you move in with me." the purple pony argued. Trixie only rolled her eyes as she chewed more onion rings. Twilight sighed louder. "Look Trixie I know things haven't been going well for you show wise since the incident, but most ponies here at least have forgiven you and would like to see you preform again," the royal prodigy waited a moment before continuing,
"Besides you could really use some exercise."
At the mention of the word "exercise" Trixie shot up and glared menacingly at the purple unicorn who only shrugged. Since the Ursa incident and due to the resulting hit to her reputation, Trixie had spent most of her time weeping and stuffing herself with various foods and drinks. This had continued even after
Twilight had invited the depressed and food obsessed mare back to Ponyville and into her home in the hopes of giving her a new start in life, and the eventual
result was the two hundred pound plus pony now standing before her.
Not that she'd ever acknowledge it though.
"Trixie most certainly does not need exercise!" the rotund show unicorn bellowed, causing her two extra chins and fat cheeks to wobble comically as crumbs and splotches of milk shake dripped off of them. Twilight fought the urge to giggle as Trixie waddled around her ranting , enormous belly swaying like a blubbery pendulum, her fat pillowy rump bouncing and jiggling in rhythm with her gut. "Rarity says Trixie's physique is its unique beauty and besides, those
horrid flower gossipers got their just 'desserts' " she finished her rant with a long slurp of her shake before glaring back at Twilight.
The purple pony shook her head realizing she wasn't gonna get anywhere with being blunt to her guest, "Ugh never mind, how about we just visit Applejack
for today. She'll likely have some fresh picked apples for you." she suggested. Trixie's mood immediately brightened at the mention of apples.
"Trixie did say Sweet Apple Acres has the best apples she's tasted" the portly show off said. "And a healthy snack sounds much better then exercise."
She mouthed the word as though it were a slur against large ponies like herself. Twilight just rolled her eyes as she and Trixie headed out.
