''"Twilight finds Trixie homeless on the streets in Canterlot. Can Twilight help her get back on her hooves? And will Trixie even LET her?"''

'''''Getting Back On Your Hooves''''' is a ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfiction by Kendell2 and Shadow Raikou, available on both [[http://kendell2.deviantart.com/gallery/34673702 DeviantArt]] and [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/4866/Trixie%27s-Gettin%27-Back-On-Her-Hooves FIMFiction.net]].

During a trip to Canterlot, Twilight Sparkle and Spike encounter a familiar face: Trixie, who is now an unkempt, miserable hobo. Feeling somewhat responsible for Trixie's condition, Twilight sets out to help the fallen entertainer her get back on her hooves, starting by letting her live in the library. But will the haughty, prideful Trixie even let her? How will Twilight's friends handle Trixie's presence in Ponyville? And what does Checker Monarch, a cold and quietly terrifying unicorn mare, have to do with it?

!! Tropes:

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Twilight does this to [[PrinceCharmless Prince Blueblood]] during a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. After explaining how [[GodEmperor Celestia and Luna]] seek such a close relationship with their subjects, a stark contrast to the self obsessed, high and mighty Blueblood, she asks him a question that, for once, actually makes him think about his actions:
--> '''Twilight Sparkle''': If they're the highest royalty in the land, Blueblood, what does that say about how you behave when you're so much lower than they are?
* BigBad: Checker Monarch, [[spoiler: Trixie's sinister sister.]]
* TheChessmaster: Checker Monarch, [[MeaningfulName natch.]]
* DefrostingIceQueen: [spoiler: As Trixie lives with Twilight, she gradually opens up and becomes a much nicer mare to everypony]].
* {{Hobos}}: Trixie, until Twilight takes her in.
* SmugSnake: Checker Monarch is a pretty big one.
* TheSociopath: Checker Monarch, who was modeled after one - and it shows.
