"Okay, no. No. Non non non. Uh-uh. I'm not embarrassing myself, again, the way I did LAST time I went to another world."

Hey, is that Trixie Lulamoon? She looks... good. She has more muscle and seems to have been eating better than - just say this can't be the native Trix, the one who spent time starving and farming rocks. Her cloak and wizard hat is still gaudy, but seems to be made of higher grade material, real silk and velvet.

The effect is ruined by her ranting with her back to a scroll, of course.

"This time, I'm going to ask who's in charge and who bears the Elements, I'm going to tell them exactly where I'm from and that I need to get back to my Ponyville, and I'm going to go home. No blinding a Princess! No kissing Lyra, Derpy, Carrot Top and Raindrops! No freaking out and attacking Twilight! Just - figuring - out - what's -"

She notices the scroll, and sort of... dumbly... stares at what she now knows is a two-way video transmitter.

"Merde. So much for not embarrassing myself. Okay, okay. Okay! I am Dame Trixie Lulamoon, I am emphatically not the Trixie you know if you know one, and could someone tell me where in Tartarus I am and who is in charge here, merci boucoup?"

It would seem so. You are not this world's Fluttershy?

N-No...I was...brought here from a different Equestria.

Y...Y-You've been to different worlds?

This would be the second other than my own, mon ami. Celestia's Equestria being the other.

[That probably meant she hadn't been to the Digital World either. Oh well.]

Celestia's Equestria...? Wh-What's that one like?

Thier Fluttershy bore Kindness, for one thing. I don't suppose you did in your Equestria? Or was that Derpy? Or someone stranger still.

O-Oh...Yes, I did...I...bore the element of Kindness, before we put the elements back in the Tree of Harmony...

Who...Who bore the elements in your Equestria?

The Tree of Harmony. Huh. That's... new. I shall have to ask Luna about that once I return.

Raindrops was my Honesty, and Lyra was my Loyalty. Carrot Top bore Generosity. Derpy was Kindness BEFORE she bore it. Cheerilee was laughter.

...as for magic, well, behold the baffled and awestruck Trixie.

Oh wow...! You bore the element of Magic? How did that happen?

Wait...what about Twilight? And Applejack, and Rainbow Dash, and Rarity and Pinkie Pie...? And...um...me?

If we weren't the ones who bore the elements...what happened to us?

...There is no polite way to put this, is there? Wait, no, I think I've got it.

They were not the same. You and your bearers rose to the challenge of friendship. Luna's versions... did not. I knew you were not my Fluttershy because you were willing to speak with me AT ALL.

O-Oh...goodness...Were we...that terrible?

You - ah, Celestia's Bearers - were no CORONA. You weren't even Blueblood. None of you were bad ponies. Just... just in need of life lessons that, in your world, you received.

Oh, I see...

Did...your elements work the same way? Through friendship?

Oui, cest vrai. There's a saying in my world; "Magic is that element which is always by your side."

I'm... still amazed the Element picked me. I try to be worthy of it.

If it picked you, I'm sure you are.

Being the most dazzling showmare in any Equestria helps a lot with that.

(Eyup, that sure is a Trixie.)

[Yyyyeah.]

S-So um...you're close friends then, with the others? The other element bearers?

And distant friends of your counterparts from Luna's world, yes. Derpy's daughter is my apprentice.

(She smiles. Then facehoofs.)

Apprentice STAGE magician. Every magician needs a lovely assistant.

...Derpy has a daughter?

Mine does. You've never met her Dinky? She calls her 'muffin,' it is the most adorable thing.

Oh...that's so sweet...!
