//------------------------------// // Sisterly Competition // Story: Stuck With You // by Princess Glitzy //------------------------------// Trixie stared at Twilight. She is relatively pretty, but Trixie will never let that slip. Trixie is the ultimate unicorn after all, so Trixie must maintain her self righteousness. Not to mention that Trixie doesn't entirely like Twilight. Twilight sat on the couch staring back her sister. Sister. It just sounds weird. Trixie is my sister. It's hard to wrap my head around. (Somehow she heard me say sister, I don't know how, just go with it) The two mares just sat with their thoughts. Maybe their father had made a bad choice telling them to spend the day together before he returned to Canterlot. "So, Trixie. Would you like to work on some new spells with me?" Trixie frowned. "Why?! Because you want to show of your skills?! Trixie will not have that! Trixie is perfectly fine with just sitting here!" Twilight sighed. It was going to be a bit harder than she thought. "No! I just want to hang out!" She paused, deciding whether of not she should say the other thing on her mind. After a moment of pondering she decided that it would be best to nip it in the butt. "Stop referring to yourself as Trixie. You really need to stop talking in the third person. You can say I am happy instead of Trixie is happy, for example." She frowned again, but slightly larger this time. "Trixie- I don't care about your excuses. I know that you aren't the sweet mare that you say you are. I know how great I am so I don't need your rude comments to bring me down." Twilight could no longer keep her temper down. "PLEASE SHUT UP! YOU NEED TO STOP CALLING YOURSELF THE BEST! YOU'RE A GREAT PONY, BUT YOU GLOAT WAY TO MUCH!" She regained her composure. "Now, if you excuse me, it's shelf organizing day." "I challenge you to a magic competition!" "Haven't we already done this? Twice even." "Yes, but I want to prove how I am number one." Twilight was going to object, but Spike was at Rarity's boutique and she would have to organize by herself, doing this was at least a bit more entertaining. "Fine. I accept." Trixie leapt from the couch and performed a rather challenging spell. She grabbed a sharp knife with levitation and gave herself a small cut. She winced in pain, but stayed calm and then used a healing spell to fix it as if it never happened. Twilight repeated the spell with ease and then began her spell. She levitated over a glass of water and then used her magic to grab a large droplet of water and splash it onto her head. Twilight then used her magic to vaporize the water instantly thus making her head perfectly dry. Trixie gulped. It was rather hard and she had never attempted it. She levitated the water over to her, but couldn't get the droplet. Her horn shot out burst of color and her horn had a blue aura, but to no avail, she couldn't lift the water. You aren't a quitter! Do the stupid spell! Trixie closed her eyes and focused on the water. She erased all other thoughts and managed to grab the water. She carefully moved it and plopped it onto her head. Sadly, she didn't know how the vaporization spell worked and her mane stayed wet. Twilight smirked at the sight of a very wet Trixie. This brought anger to her sister. Trixie stomped her hooves and willed the water to leave. Nothing. She used a heating spell to see if it did the same thing. It just made her mane hot. Trixie began getting nervous. "It's okay if you can't do it Trixie. I won't blame you." Twilight found Trixie's situation funny, but she said her sentence with sincerity. This made Trixie work harder. She tried to mimic Twilight's movements and focused on her goal. She wished that it would work and it did! Trixie beamed and then looked notoriously at Twilight. Twilight opened her eyes wider in misbelief. She was sure that Trixie was incapable of pulling it off. Trixie grinned an then began her spell. She put a magic shield around herself and then while doing that spell she levitated a few things towards her and threw them at the shield. When it remained intact she took a bow before letting it fall. This brought shocked expressions to both of their faces. Twilight nervously shuffled her hooves. You can do this. She repeated the shield with ease, but found a small amount of trouble with the throwing. She could levitate the things over, but throwing them at herself was a little harder. She focused really hard and occasionally let out a groan showing her concentration. The book went right towards the shield and it kept up. Twilight jumped up and down happily. "Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes." Trixie stared at her with annoyance. "Great, you've done it. Show me your final spell." Twilight did something that she could do in her sleep, teleport. Twilight teleported from one end of the room the other and then onto the staircase. Trixie stared at her in shock. IMPOSSIBLE! Her horn glowed and sparks came out, but nothing even close to teleportation occurred. She frowned and looked at the floor. There was no use embarrassing herself. "You win Twilight Sparkle." Twilight gave herself a moment to be proud before comforting Trixie. "Don't be sad. You're a great magician and unicorn. I'm the element of magic, so it is nearly impossible to defeat me, but it's not your fault. You tried your hardest and that's all that matters." Twilight smiled at Trixie. Surprisingly, Trixie smiled back. "You know, I don't like you very much Twilight, but I certainly respect you." The two sisters hugged.
