A drunken Trixie zaps Maud's pet rock, Boulder, into a teacup and she can't fix it. But is that the really unforgivable offense?

Content Note: Marked Teen because of the inebriation even though it leads to negative consequences.

Era: Season 7. (See an index of my stories, sorted by My Little Pony Season).

Image: Inspired by two shots from the show: One and Two.

Maud grades questionable poetry. A teenaged Flurry Heart states questionable things. Trixie acquires questionable artifacts. And, Starlight does something Trixie questions (but not too deeply).

Princess Twilight embraces the dark side... of currency! And assistant-to-the-crown Raven Inkwell gets Spiked.

- Content Notice: Ch1: An off-colour insult ; "buck" curse used once ; Ch3: possible death alluded to.

-Ch 1: Comedy/Drama; Ch2: Adventure/Mystery; Ch3; Adventure/Drama
- For the My Little Pony Renaissance Contest: "[it can be]... as dramatic as Princess Twilight Embracing the Dark Side."
- The dark side of what was not specified, be it the moon or otherwise. Several commentators assumed Princess Twilight would be embracing HER dark side (whichever side points away from the sun?), but why read a pronoun into the statement when we all know Princess Twilight has absolutely no dark side! She never bewitched a town into hatred over desiring her stuffed foaltoy--that was an alternative universe--YOUR Little Pony, not MY Little Pony. (j/k?).

The Contest Theme is Change.
- We've got ch-ch-ch--changes here. Turn the bit and face the strange changes in change (currency, rather). Changes in Rulership, Changes in seconds-in-command, changes in jobs, roles, maturity, relationship, story tones per chapter, and more! Contest Folder.

Trixie's apology tour isn't as satisfying as she would like it to be.

- This may be read as a traditional pony story by ignoring carated sections "<>" and the final section, "The Forever Ending".

- Entry for: Friendship is Optimal Contest (Second Link) (Entries).
- Reading Friendship is Optimal is not required. This tale is not entirely "canon" with that universe.

- This takes place in MLP before Trixie meets Starlight Glimmer.
- In Friendship is Optimal this takes place early during the CelestAI program, when debugging is still being worked out and when compassionate-care volunteers are being accepted.
