Trials and Tricks. (private)

[Liten]

Trixie simply grumbled to herself. Knowing that she had indeed refused to go see the Princesses as a smaller pony. But this still didn't make Trixie feel any better as they both made their way towards the throne room. Trixie was happy about the spell so that ponies couldn't see her diaper, but it made little difference because she could still feel it with every step she took. She just hoped the spell stayed up long enough.

Twilight smiled warmly as they approached the throne room, having her tell the princess's assistant that they needed to meet with her. Although as she darted off and they stood in line something tugged at her, making her look over quickly to find where Trixie's cutie mark should have been the magic was fading. Until it popped out completely, showing everypony waiting that thickly clad rear before she teleported them into the throne room, a flash of a camera seen in the background.

[Liten]

Trixie went calmly with Twilight. Feeling better in the fact that everypony wasn't looking at her rear end. They sat and waited along with everypony else, Trixie didn't much care for this, and she wondered why Twilight would even need to wait to see the Princesses on a matter she had deemed this important. Trixie didn't have time to ponder that fact as the spell wore off and Trixie immediately noticed everyponies eyes on her. It didn't take Trixie long to figure out what they were all staring at and before Trixie could even react, she felt the sensation of being teleported and then suddenly she was in the throne room, a bit disoriented though from such an immediate transition.

Twilight, of course, recovered instantly from such a small jump, but that also left them in the middle of court with Trixie's diapers in plain view. Although quick thinking on Celestia's part told everypony to leave the room, and soon it was only the three of them there; not that it would repair the damage though. "I-I'm sorry for interupting court Princess, b-but Trixie has somehow lost her cutie mark." She said quickly, a very clear tremor in her voice, it was clearly affecting her too at this point, but only now was it becoming known.

Although Celestia was expecting a lot of things to be said, but a lost cutie mark wasn't one of those. "Well Twilight, I'm not really sure I'm afraid, only one instance has ever happened like this." She stated with a sigh, turning to Trixie. "Trixie has there been any point where you've doubted your tallent within the past few weeks? That pony got hers back, but it truly required rediscovering herself," She stated with a long sigh.

[Liten]

It was probably better that Trixie didn't recover quite as quickly as Twilight did, however, that still didn't stop her from seeing many ponies that were in the room be ordered out by the Princess. She could only hang her head low and look at the floor in shame from all the ponies that had seen her. She only looked up again when Celestia addressed her. "Trixie's talent? Trixie has doubted her mere existence in only the span of these past few weeks." Trixie stated, there was no doubt in her voice when she said that either.

[LilLuna]

Celestia was slightly taken aback by tat information. "I see..." She made a scroll pop into existence beside her. Slowly it unfurled, letting her read the contents. "This mare's name was Waning Moon, the one who served my sister in the old times. She had to rediscover herself following her banishment." She stated with a long sigh, seeing the diaper but saying nothing. "You must do the same Trixie. Twilight will teach you, if I recall you too had a talent in magic?" She asked warmly. The entire time Twilight stayed at the mare's side, offering a comforting hoof on her back.

[Liten]

"Trixie would hardly call it a talent." She said, her confidence in herself was all but shattered at this point. There wasn't much that she could say or do to convince herself otherwise that magic was still something she should even try to do. Look where it had gotten her so far in life, only humiliation, the diaper just being the newest thing to do so, though Trixie hated it the most.

[LilLuna]

Twilight though was quick to intervene there. "You're wrong..." She started, her tone becoming angry. She couldn't believe it was still her, that mare so proud, and indeed magically inclined so... broken. The fact that she could so easily give up. "When I met you you were a show off yes, but truly it was quite the show of magic. "This entire time Trixie?" She asked a bit more firmly. "You doubted and yet you said nothing?!" She bit her words out hard. "I never said you were weak! Only that you lacked the precision to preform feats like mine! You doubted so hard, and yet you said nothing, why?" She asked firmly. It hurt to see somepony she cared about in pain like that.

[Liten]

Trixie turned towards Twilight, a burning anger in her own eyes. "Why, why!? Trixie has had absolutely no reason to believe that her magic could ever be anything more than simple parlor tricks! Trixie could never regain her reputation to even try to improve her magical ability, and even if she had, she doubted it would matter! Even now Trixie is even further away from being the mare she used to be and she'll never be it again at this rate! You never needed to say Trixie was weak, your actions towards Trixie have been more than enough to show Trixie's weakness, in both her own feats of magic, and resisting your own." Trixie finished her rant, not forgetting that Twilight had manipulated her mind before, she doubted she would ever forget.

[LilLuna]

Although the instant Twilight heard that her heart started to break. She knew her own transgressions, but at the very same time she had no idea that the pony she cared for felt this way. This time her voice was softer, and much more gentle. "But you said you were self taught Trixie." She said with a long sigh, instantly regretting the loss of her temper. "That in itself is amazing, the very fact that you could preform spells like that without a mentor." She said, seeing this in a whole new light than before. "Will you let me teach you Trixie? Let me atone somehow for the past?" She asked, knowing good and well this was a long-shot.
