Trixie was stunned for a few seconds after she hit the floor. She shook her head to find an even more surprised Percheron laying on top of her and Watermark yelling at them both.
Trixie quickly got herself up and met Watermark's glare with a sheepish smile and look. "It was the poison joke." Was all she could blurt out before helping Percheron up. She saw Watermark's question as an opportunity, so she took advantage of it.
"Yes, we were in the middle of doing what you wanted, before you interrupted." This time Trixie was the one who gave the angry look. She gestured to the rack of vials still set up and all the other material still on the table.
"We were working, and we both got affected by Poison Joke. I had the situation under control, Watermark, and your intrusion just caused a discrepancy in the records!" She ran over to the table and wrote down random notes, appearing to be working and hoping Watermark wouldn't notice.

Watermark's eye twitched, before he stormed out, "You better have this finished by the time I get back!" He called back behind him, stomping out in rage, and kicking a water golem halfway across the camp as he did.
Nope, one could say he was not a happy camper.

"Seesh, the nerve of that pony! You ok Percheron?" She walked over to him. Standing completely still. She then heard a dripping noise coming from the table, and noticed that in the ruckus all but one of the untested vials had been broken: Vial 6.
Trixie sighed, this experiment could basically be called off with most of the material destroyed, but she still decided to try it anyway, half curious of the effects and half afraid of what Watermark would do to her when he came back.
"Hello? Come iiiiiin Perchie??" She waved her hooves in front of his face, and lightly tapped his cheek. No response.
"Come.. ungh.. on, Perch-ngh.. eron... there's still one more vial to do!" She uselessly said, trying to push him over to the table.
"So.. That's how it's gonna be, huh?" Trixie gathered up the one undamaged vial and sighed at it. "Lets hope this one works." She sprayed herself and Percheron with the bottle. Still no response from him.
She dabbed the two cloths with the serum from vial six and rubbed it on herself, then on Percheron. She ran her hooves along his body and unmoving face. Hoping that he didn't have any kind of mental damage, lest he forget what had just happened. Trixie also hoped he liked the kiss, she sure did. She finished the application and tossed the rags aside. "Now we have to wait... Again."

Percheron suddenly snapped out of the trance he was in, either because of the time that elapsed, or because he had suddenly face-planted straight into the floor. He lifted himself up and noticed his wings felt awkward, out of balance, they were nearly tipping him over!
He tried stabilizing himself once, but just ended up slamming into a cauldron on the other side. "I think we found the one we..." Percheron looked at Trixie, before laughing loudly, "My gosh, you look ridiculous!" He laughed, pointing at her horn, now dangling on her forehead. He hadn't forgotten what had just happened, he would address it in a moment, but he couldn't help but laugh. Trixie had brought out a playful side of him he hadn't seen in a long time.

Trixie looked up at her horn. It had gone floppy and was covered in spots. Whenever she moved, if wobbled and flopped about like jell-o "Very funny, Perch." She tried to use magic, but to no avail, and her frown turned to a smile.
"Haha! This is the one we wanted!!" She quickly ducked to avoid Percheron flying wildly about the room. She quickly opened a small safe box and put the vial snugly in it for safe keeping, and marked it with 'Magic Dampener' and 'Pegasi Imbalance"then she ran over to the cauldron.
"Here, aim for the cauldron! We got the right formula! Percheron!" She called out to him, still circling out of control inside the room.

"I'm trying!" He called out, crashing hard into a wall, before flopping right into the cauldron, splashing Trixie with the antidote as he sank inside.
His head now poking out of the cauldron the Pegasus sighed. "So, about that kiss..."

"Yeah... About that." Trixie nonchalantly climbed into the same cauldron, figuring it'd be better to talk it over that way. She heated up the water again as she got in, enjoying the return of her magic and the tingling touch of hot water as she stepped in.
She then looked back to Percheron, and realized that she had just made a big mistake. She thought it would be easier to talk about it from this position, but it turned out to be the exact opposite.
"It was the poison joke.. Uh. Yeah." She said nervously. "I have no idea what-um.. what came over you." She idly played with her mane and sunk lower in the cauldron, breaking eye contact as her face reddened up under Percheron's stare.

"I'm sorry, I was out of line, I don't even know what was going through my head at the moment. I didn't know Poison Joke could have that affect. But then again, someone, somewhere must find it funny, probably."
The stallion sighed, now noticing how close they were actually sitting, he wasn't some embarrassed school colt, shying away from the filly he liked. But then again, he wasn't sure at all how he felt about Trixie. He had much fun with her, he felt comfortable with her, and he hasn't felt that way in a long time... not since... he shook his head.
"I noticed you were uh... reciprocating." He said finally, "When we kissed, I mean."

"Yeah, yeah, hilarious for some random pony out there." She sat back up, still not matching Percheron's gaze.
But she turned crimson and her eyes went wide at his last statement. "Wha- hey! You liked it too!" She blatantly accused out loud, not thinking. But she immediately put a hoof up to her mouth to keep herself from saying any more. "I'm sorry about that.." She finally looked him in the eye, and his expression wasn't one of anger or negativity, simply curiosity.

Percheron laughed, "Yes, yes, I most certainly did. I'm not really a 'player' so to say, but I have been enjoying your company, and I guess that Poison Joke effect wasn't all bad, if we can proceed somewhere from this point." He said, offering her a hoof, to pull her to his side of the cauldron, as in, next to him.
Red Charge once told him, caution is important but some opportunities should never be missed. The Pegasus thought he understood what the red stallion meant, sitting there with Trixie. He hasn't felt this jovial in a long time, and if she felt the same, why not?

Trixie cautiously took his hoof and was pulled over next to Percheron. She nestled up close to him. She hadn't felt this happy in years, not since her grandfather had given her the sorcerer's hat and cape she still wears.
She nuzzled up to his neck, realizing that she finally could, and would be happy with this group of ponies that just took her in like one of their own.
Trixie also couldn't wait to spend more time with Percheron, to learn more about him, get to know him better. Which made Trixie think. She bit her lip, unsure, pulled away from Percheron, and looked back up at him with a soft smile. "One more kiss, please?"

"Could I turn you down when you ask so nicely?" Percheron asked, leaning forwards for another kiss, hooves wrapped around the sorceress. If Watermark came in now, he'd just have to consider throwing him out.
True that he wasn't the mushy kind of stallion, but it felt so warm, so safe and nice, suddenly, someone who liked him back, someone who he shouldn't be afraid to move things on with. Someone there might just be a future with. Random thoughts such as what might happen if the Cult gets in conflict with Equestria popped in his head, but just for now, he decided to enjoy it, just for now.
