[In the center of Ponyville…]
“Yes, I, the great and powerful Trixie have returned. No one this time has the power to match me,” announced Trixie.
“What’s all the noise about?” asked Bright Eyes.
“I don’t know but something tells me that voice is familiar,” said Twilight. *The group walk over*
“What is this? More foolish foals wanting to challenge my powers?” questioned Trixie. *Twilight rolls her eyes*
“Not her again,” whispered Twilight.
“Who is she?” asked Melody.
“Her name is Trixie and she used to boast about being some all-powerful magical pony that defeated a creature in our Everfree Forest called Ursa Minor,” explained Twilight.
“What’s the Everfree Forest?” asked Starlight.
“It’s a place where many creatures live,” replied Fluttershy.
“What kind of creatures?” asked Ace.
“We’ve had a manticore, Ursa Minor, Parasprites….,” began Twilight.
“Para what?” questioned Melody.
“Those little critters were nothin’ to laugh about. We had to wrestle them up real good but even then they trashed our side of town until our friend Pinkie Pie saved us with a pile of musical instruments,” added Applejack.
“There was also Zecora, a zebra that lived in the Everfree Forest,” said Twilight.
“She wasn’t all bad once ya got to know her,” said a voice.
“Apple Bloom? What the hay are you doin’ here?” asked Applejack.
“What else? To see the magic show. I figure the three of us can go together,” explained Apple Bloom.
“It’ll be the best magic show ever,” added (Scootaloo).
“You three think you can challenge the great and powerful Trixie?” questioned Trixie to the CMCs (Cutie Mark Crusaders for short).
“Y’all ain’t gonna leave one hoof on these youngsters!” protested Applejack.
“Applejack, how do you know that magic isn’t our special talent?” asked Apple Bloom.
“Whether it is or ain’t, Trixie ain’t nothin’ but a phony and with y’all as young as ya are, you’d probably be told all sorts of hooey and I don’t want to take no chances so y’all will just have to watch from here,” replied Applejack.
“Aww,” moaned the CMCs in disappointment.
“Boy do I know what it’s like to have youngsters. Mine aren’t all bad, they just don’t know better,” said Melody.
“They did help you win the Battle of the Bands,” said Starlight.
“They’re so cute, I’d love to babysit them one day,” said Sweetheart.
“Hey who are you guys talking to?” asked Teddy overhearing the conversation.
“These new ponies from the other side of Ponyville,” answered Bright Eyes.
“Those are the dumbest looking ponies I’ve ever seen!” laughed Teddy.
“Teddy, be nice, these ponies are truly nice,” urged Sweetheart.
“Nopony laughs at me. Why don’t y’all laugh at this?” remarked Applejack. *She twirls her rope and ties up Teddy’s legs*
“Just as I thought, the great and powerful Trixie is the best there is,” said Trixie.
“Now see here, ya’ll showed us last time you were here that you didn’t take down that Ursa Minor and that you made the whole story up,” protested Applejack.
“Well I have perfected my magic skills to the point where I’m no fibber anymore,” replied Trixie.
“You can show her, Twilight. Your magic is strong enough to vanquish the Ursa Minor,” urged Applejack.
“I don’t want to become like her. Besides, we have to deal with Nightmare Moon,” explained Twilight.
“Sounds like someone is a coward and why not when you’re up against the great and powerful Trixie,” remarked Trixie.
“What a jerk,” remarked Melody.
“Obviously she doesn’t have the manners like we do,” added Bright Eyes.
“Is that a challenge?” questioned Trixie.
“No, it’s a remark based on your lack of courtesy,” corrected Bright Eyes.
“Trixie will see my magic in action once we take down Nightmare Moon,” thought Twilight.
