~ I’m very honored I could be around to see what the My Little Pony of the 80s would become. When I watched it way back then I wouldn’t have imagined it would turn into something like this, or that I’d be drawing art of it when I grew up. It’s a peculiar but not a bad feeling. I might have been happy or might have been touched to know that a silly fun little cartoon I enjoyed watching would be revived and turned into something so complex and dear to many groups (I’m personally thinking right now about those of the LGBPTQ orientation, which I didn’t know as a child I was one of). But I’m glad I didn’t know, because even though good things are worth waiting for, it still would have been a long, long time to wait! ~
 
Anyhow, here is the proper “Star Orb” scene from Kkat’s Fallout Equestria! I thought I wouldn’t be able to make the calm but important scene look good or interesting..and Littlepip does call the memory really boring while viewing it because Trixie was doing a bunch of paperwork (which is kinda hilarious…guess the Ministry didn’t think they should cut all that out)….but the most impactful moments happen quietly sometimes. I’m glad I drew this. And I’m a horrible hypocrite because there wasn’t much going on in Rainbow’s Orb, but I knew it was the atmosphere and scenery that mattered. And I guess it could technically be my unofficial submission for Pride Month, haha. It’s the rare Rainbow Bookshelf! Let’s just say Twilight has a spell to affect the books so they can be in color and alphabetical order. If she can make herself appear as a little figurine on top of a music box she could do some transmogrifying of books. That was when she was an alicorn and FoE was well before that, but changing books would still probably easy for Twilight.
 
Twilight’s giving Trixie a hand–hoof?–kerchief.

‘Slowly, almost humbly, Trixie stepped through the doorway. Inside was a nice office, not ostentatious in the slightest, mostly filled with shelves holding books and various knick-knacks of magical and personal importance. As Trixie’s eyes wandered over the room, I spotted a jar with several delicate purple-spotted lavender shards floating in a preserving liquid. The jar was labeled “Spike’s Egg”. Twilight Sparkle walked in behind us, closing the door, and moved around to sit at her desk. She looked over her desk with a slight frown, and, apparently deciding it seemed too formal, walked back around the desk and sat on a floor cushion, offering another to Trixie.
 
“Miss Sparkle…” Trixie began. I could feel her nervousness.
 
“Oh, please, call me Twilight,” she beamed. “So, tell me, been working on any new tricks lately?”
 
I felt my host stammer a moment, then draw herself up, breathing deeply. With a prideful voice, she boasted, “Why yes! In fact, just the other day, I invented an invisibility spell! Would you like to see?”
 
Twilight Sparkle blinked. “You. Invented. An invisibility spell?”
 
“Indeed! Have you ever known another unicorn who could do this?” I felt the surge of magic as my host cast her spell. Twilight Sparkle gasped.
 
“You…Trixie, you’re actually invisible!” Twilight reached out, prodding us with a hoof, making sure we were actually still there and hadn’t teleported away. “That’s…amazing!”
 
I felt the spell ebb then collapse. It clearly wasn’t long lasting. Still, Trixie sat up, smiling broadly. “See? Am I not still the Great and Powerful Trixie?”
 
Twilight gazed at her. As seconds ticked by, I could feel sweat bead on my host’s forehead. “And you invented this spell yourself?”
 
“Why yes! I…” All at once, Trixie seemed to deflate. “No.” She stared at the floor, scuffing it with her hoof. “I mean, yes, I created the spell. But only after I got ahold of one of those new StealthBucks and figured out how to cast the magic myself.”
 
Twilight’s expression softened. “Thank you for being honest with me.”
 
Trixie nodded. “I’ll…see myself out.”
 
“No!” Twilight said swiftly. “No…it’s all right. I’m still really impressed. Those StealthBucks were created by my Ministry…”
 
Trixie winced.
 
“…and we reverse-engineered them from zebra magic. But none of my unicorns have been able to re-create it in spell form. I have a whole division in Canterlot who have spent years trying to do what you just did and failing.”
 
Trixie looked up again, surprised. I felt a burning in her eyes. She was holding back tears.’

“Whitelip, I’m sorry to miss you this week. You know that seeing you is one of the high points of my week, but I just got the most amazing call. Twilight Sparkle, yes the Twilight Sparkle, called me. Right out of the blue. Isn’t that amazing? I mean, I knew her back when she was nothing and I was….nevermind. I’m just so surprised she even remembers me. But no, she invited me to Manehattan this weekend to talk about a proposal. Can you imagine, working for the Ministry of Magic! And when the Mare of the Ministry herself personally calls you up to pitch the offer, you know it has to be important. I…I hesitate to say it, but I’m back. Oh yes, Trixie’s life is about to finally turn around! Um…I don’t know how long I’ll be in Manehattan; but just to be safe, go ahead and leave my usual order on the doorstep: three bottles of milk and a carton of butter. I’ll pay you next week, I promise.”

I was folding up your letters  
And packing winter clothes  
Searching for my hat  
I thought I left it by the door
 
So I tore around the room  
Like a bird without a head  
I saw your picture waving back at me  
From underneath the bed  
From a long, long time ago
 
When all I had  
Was a hat full of stars  
The one I’ll always treasure  
The one that you wore
 
You loved the look  
But you never looked inside  
You woulda seen me there  
You coulda seen far
 
Shoulda seen the magic  
In my hat full of stars
 
I’m trying to live in the present  
But I keep tripping on the past  
Finding out reality  
When clarity comes in drips and drabs
 
And we never had the time  
For everything we had  
So it felt like we had nothing  
That’s what makes this hat so sad
 
It was a long, long time ago  
When all we had was a hat full of stars  
The one I’ll always treasure  
The one that you wore
 
You loved the look  
But you never looked inside  
You woulda seen us there  
You coulda seen far
 
You shoulda seen the magic  
In my hat full of stars  
In my hat full of stars
 
Now whenever I’m alone  
And I think I might forget  
I wear my lucky hat  
Just like a crown upon my head
 
‘Cause all I had was a hat full of stars  
The one I’ll always treasure  
The one that you wore  
You loved the look  
But you didn’t look inside
 
If you could see me now  
You woulda seen far  
You shoulda seen the magic  
In my hat full of stars
 
In my hat full of stars  
In my hat full of stars  
In my hat full of stars
