But just this once, Trixie decides she enjoys losing.

For a Sunset Shimmer x Trixie Lulamoon (SunTrix) story contest.

Sunset Shimmer never defeated a powerful alicorn to conquer the world and become a princess. She's just a student at Canterlot High School.

But sometimes, she has unpleasant dreams she can't explain.

This story might be an entry in Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt Sunset Shimmer / Persistence. ('Harmony' and 'Strength' would also be possibilities.)

Prereaders: Punished Bean, sirenc0re. As usual, responsibility for the story's faults remains my own, as do my limitations and shortcomings in trying to apply the prereaders' feedback and advice.

In an angry swordfight, Sunset and Adagio cut off each other's right hands.

Twilight sees this as an opportunity.

With thanks to Carlos S. for a bit of helpful feedback about something.
