Chapter Two
By SpaghettiPie


"Trixie! Get up!" Twilight shouted loudly, her horn blazing with lights and books floating. Trixie muttered slightly and rolled over. "Get up, now, Trixie!" Her horn was sorting all types of books. From large amounts of pages, to just picture books. There were many being shuffled and placed in alphabetical order. 

Trixie rolled around even more. "I don't want to shuffle the rocks today, I'd rather just mine them." She whimpered slightly, her horn glowing as she levitated a book and placed it on her shoulder.

"Good thing this isn't a rock farm, then." Twilight's horn stopped glowing as she dropped books and walked closer to the other unicorn, sleeping on her floor. "It's a library and you need to pick up the mess you made. Dropping books everywhere." Twilight's horn brightened up again, lifting the book off from Trixie. Then, dropping the book, Twilight concentrated her magic around Trixie's body, and lifting her up with busy thoughts. 

Trixie, feeling herself becoming Air Borne, blinked open her eyes. She noticed the sparkles surrounding her body and let out a gasp of shock. "How are you doing that?" She pointed her hoof at Twilight. "You aren't the highest level unicorn, but you are lifting a mass weight into the air, how are you lifting me?"

Twilight's face blushed slightly. "I may not be the highest level unicorn, but levitation came easy to me. It was the first spell I ever learned." Twilight put Trixie back down and looked around at the library. "What happened?"

"I was... Practicing. I looked deep into my books, and saw the Heavy Levitation spell. I couldn't resist." Trixie, glaring at her hooves, muttered calmly. "Spike came out last night and helped pick up, but I told him to go back to sleep. A small baby dragon shouldn't be up in the middle of the night."

Twilight nodded. "That's why he's sleeping in." She walked closer to Trixie, and laughed a bit. "I heard most everything, once Spike shouted about me waking up." The sun was now poking up from the window and glaring into the room. 

Twilight sighed. "Well, we better clean up and start our day off right." She levitated a few more books and placed them on the bookshelf calmly. "I needed a quick organization day, anyways."

Trixie let out a slight chuckle and would started lifting up books with her magic, too. Books swaying left and right would fall into the right place on their shelf. Trixie took a glare at a small book that read "The Little Unicorn". "I used to have this book." She smiled, and placed it on the shelf.

"It's for when Sweetie Belle comes over, it's one of her favorites." Twilight responded with a smile. "As a filly, I found it nice to read about another unicorn's adventure. Finding her cutie-mark, before I had mine." Twilight lifted another book, and levitated it over to Trixie. 

"What is this?" Trixie muttered, her head tilted slightly and read the title. "'Celestial Magic; A Ponies Guide on Highest Levels'. A highest level unicorn book?" Trixie glared at awe in the golden letters carved on it's leather binding. She swapped her magic to lift it and had opened it softly. "'Becoming a Magic Talented Unicorn'. Is that what you read?"

Twilight shook her head. "I'm afraid not. I knew that Princess Celestia gave it to me to read, but I didn't want to be the highest level unicorn. I just wanted to be the run-of-the-mill unicorn, ponyvillian." 

Trixie placed it on a shelf as it's gold coated letters gleamed. She couldn't stop staring. Trixie turned back around to face Twilight and looked down at her hooves. "The floor is all cleaned?" She smiled. 

"Yes, Trixie. We better get going, now. Rose Luck found a bunch of Snapdragons, I thought it would be a good treat for Spike. Something for him to remember about being a good friend, and when he grows up, the plant will grow with him." Twilight levitated her own saddlebag onto her back, bits making lovely noises. The most common sound of silver bits waving.

"Snapdragons? Aren't those dangerous?" Trixie muttered with distaste.

"Yes," Twilight started. "but not to dragons. Their hard scales take away pain, and the Snapdragon doesn't fire back."

Trixie nodded, and levitated her saddlebag over, too. The sound of the box catching her ear. "I brought some bits of my own," she lied. "I can buy some other flowers, and use them for a sandwich or something."

"That sounds delicious, Trixie. My favorite is the Daffodils, they taste like butter." Twilight nodded, opening the door and walking out calmly, Trixie following shortly behind her.

"My favorites are the Lilies, the taste of the bulbous plant is sweet beyond any other flower!" Trixie waved her hoof in the air outside. Trixie stopped and glared forward. 

Pinkie Pie bounding closer to the library with joy, behind her was Fluttershy and Rarity. Trixie and Twilight came closer to them, too. Once being almost face-to-face, they all stopped.

"Hi!" Pinkie cheered loudly, her eyes wide open and a smile slapped on her face.

Rarity looked at Trixie and had an unamused look on her face, her hoof circling the ground. "Hello there, Trixie." She muttered. Flipping her hair back, she shut her eyes and held her nose up a little higher. "I do believe you are staying with Twilight for a while, until you can get your cart back?"

Trixie flattened her ears. "Yes, Rarity." 

Twilight flicked her ear. "We were just going to get some flowers, would you girls like to come with us?"

Rarity opened her eyes. "Does Rose Luck have any of those beautiful Sun Flowers, or the Rose Pedals?" She walked closer to Twilight and smiled widely.

"I did hear her say something about Roses, but I don't know about the Sun Flowers." Twilight said calmly. "What about you Fluttershy, what would you like?"

Fluttershy flattened her ears. "Just a few Buttercups. They're my favorites."

Twilight nodded and smiled. "Should we all go then?"

A Few Hours Later...

Trixie was back at Twilight's library. Her hooves were tapping lightly as the purple unicorn was out for a walk to help Pinkie Pie find her lost alligator, Gummy. Growing bored of the nothingness that filled the library, Trixie glared at her saddlebag. Neither Spike or Twilight were here, she finally had a chance.

"Nobody is coming, everyone knows Twilight is helping Pinkie. I could just wear it, one more time." Trixie slowly went towards her bag, her horn glowing as she pulled up the string and revealing it's contents. A few books and a wooden box. She levitated the wooden box out of the bag, and she glared at it with anticipation.

"This is a bad idea, what if they came back?" Trixie put the box back down, her ears flattening. Levitating it again, though. "But that isn't possible. That alligator is probably just in Pinkie Pie's tub." She tapped her hoof on the floating box to open it up. The item inside of it was glowing brightly. A red shade growing near Trixie's face as she smiled in awe.

"It can't hurt to use it." She levitated the Amulet near her neck, and wrapped it tightly. Her eyes shuddered to a red color, and then back. She let out a dark smile. "This power," she muttered. Her horn glowing, lifting up the heavy bookshelf with ease. "it's the best!" She shouted, as the bookshelf was joined by it's others.

Trixie let out a booming laugh of raging power.
