Trixie Lulamoon has to work a boring office job, draining any drive from her. Today, she can at least show a trick to a child in an elevator.

An expansion of my Flashfic 150 entry with the prompt "Carousel".
An adorable little oneshot. :)
Trixie may have an ego, but she also has a heart.
huh, I don't need stimulants for that
(stay winning trixie!)
Very cute and short. Certainly enjoyed every second.
Aw, what a cute story! Go Trixie!
As short as this was, I really enjoyed it.
Nice story. I do wonder how this lady Trixie never saw before got her number. Nevertheless, I liked this story.

Maybe she works in the same company and went upstairs asking for Trixie's contact info?
Touched my heart, a moment of joy in the monotone gray of life.
This was good. Short and cute!
oof, can’t think of a more torturous job for Trixie than manually entering data into a spreadsheet, even though manually entering data into a spreadsheet is relaxing and fun
that just raises further questions about animal sapience!
so true that is definitely how Trixie thinks caffeine consumption works
hey, getting paid well is its own reward! right?
aww that is so nice! also heartbreaking to see the avenues for Trixie to express her passion being reduced to this. all too frighteningly realistic
aww, this is exactly what this very sad, crushed-by-the-reality-of-adult-life Trixie needs to snap her out of her depression, even if only momentarily.
all too realistic about the fate of Trixie as a working adult, and what happens to all of us with dreams that don’t pay well. thank you for writing!
Very heartwarming. It's the little moments in life that make it worth the struggle.
This is one of the most Trixie things I have ever read. Great work there, and in the story in general. A lovely snapshot of a key turning point in Trixie’s life… or at least the setup for a moment that will keep her warm and fuzzy through months of number crunching. Lovely little character piece. Thank you for it.
Truly the greatest
Great story. Thanks for keeping the Trixie train going on this site.
