Not so Great and Powerful
chapter 1
A blue unicorn filly jumped in front of an older mare that was talking on a phone; "Mama! Watch as the great and powerful-"
The older mare looked down at her daughter and shook her head, "Not now trixie, mommy has work to do." Trixie's mother walked around her daughter and begun talking on the phone again.
"Oh. Um okay." The blue filly sighed and walked up to her room with her head facing the floor. Trixie looked up at the blue magician hat that hung on a hook on her door. "Dad. Why'd you leave?" The blue unicorn sighed before planting her head into her pillow. The filly started to cry into her pillow when her grandmother came in.
"Oh Trixie, what is wrong?" The light red mare sat down on Trixie's bed and waited for the filly to sit up.
"I wanted to show mama something, but she wouldn't let me! She said she was busy." Trixie wiped at the tears before looking up at her grandmother.
"Oh sweetheart. You know your mother is a busy busy mare!" Trixie's grandmother wrapped her arm around her granddaughter.
"But Granny!" Trixie lowered her head.
"No ifs, ands, or buts about it."
Trixie nodded and then watched as her grandmother left her room. "Nopony cares about my magic!" Trixie watched her reflection in a mirror as a single tear trickled down her cheek. "I'm the worthless and unimportant Trixie..."
"Trixie! It's time for dinner!"
Trixie stopped reading her magic book and looked up at the ceiling. "But I'm not hungry!" The blue filly whined to herself as her sister marched into her room. "Pixie! Go away!" Trixie yelled at her pink sister.
Pixie rolled her eyes, "Mom said dinner's ready!" Pixie growled at her sister.
"Yeah? Well tell her I said I don't care!" Trixie pushed her sister out of her room and slammed the door in anger. "Gosh! Nopony gets it!" Trixie jumped back onto her bed and threw her face back into the pillow.
Trixie was awoken by her door knob hitting her wall. "Wha-!" The unicorn filly jumped out of her bed and faced her grandmother. "Granny! Why'd you wake me up!"
The old red mare smiled, "We're going camping!" The old pony's smiled grew in size as she continued to speak; "So get packed!"
Trixie sighed and headed towards her bed. "It's in the middle of the night, Granny. Go back to bed."
Trixie's Granny grabbed her and twirled her around in circles, "But that's the best time to go camping!"
The blue filly sighed and shook her head; "I'll pass, Granny." Trixie's Grandmother was about to protest when somepony called for her, "Northern! Hurry it up!" Granny Lights sighed, "Sweetheart you got no choice."
Trixie stomped her hoof on the ground, "But Granny Lights! I don't wanna go!" The blue unicorn whined until her older sister came in.
"What's this!" Pixie snorted with annoyance.
"Pixie! Tell Granny that I don't have to go camping!" said Trixie.
The old red unicorn snorted at Trixie; "Sweetheart your mommy can't leave you alone! You'll get taken away."
Trixie turned around to where her back faced her grandmother. "I don't care! She doesn't love me anyways!"
Trixie's mother, Magic, looked taken aback. "What do you mean!? I love you with all my heart!"
Trixie sharply turned around, "Tough way of showing it!" Trixie narrowed her eyes with angry. "If you actually loved me you'd want to see my magic! I bet you don't even know what I want to be when I'm older!" Trixie turned around once again before her mother could speak.
"Fine! If you don't want to go camping with us then you can spend the week with your aunt and uncle!" Her mother yelled before trotting out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
"Thank celestia!" Trixie hopped back onto her bed and crossed her arms. "I don't have to spend a week with her."
"Okay Trixie, We're going to drop you off at your aunt's house and then we'll be on our way." Trixie's mother nodded before heading out the door.
Trixie walked beside her grandmother as she looked around. The blue filly watched as the streets of Balitmare turned into dirt paths.
"Beautiful!" Pixie took out her camera and took a picture of a big purple butterfly.
Darn. I wish I would of brought my camera. Trixie put her head down and watched the dirt path.
About thirty minutes later the four ponies stopped in from of a huge building. "Okay Trixie. This is where your journey with us ends." Silver smiled at her daughter before pointing her horn at the big white mansion.
"Woah! Really!?" Trixie smiled happily.
An aquamarine mare trotted from behind the white house. "Well toot my whistle! Looky who we have here! If it isn't my ol' sister." Magic hugged Trixie's mother before turning to the blue mare. "Are ya here ta stay with me?"
Trixie nodded happily before trotting over to her aunt's side. "Woah! I love your cutie mark!" Trixie pointed to the mark on her aunt's flank.
"Oh this ol' thang?" Magic turned so she could she her cutie mark. "It represents my love for being a magician."
Trixie's eyes glittered with amusement. "Your a magician!?" Trixie hugged her aunt; "I think I'm going to like it here!" Trixie's aunt smiled at the young blue filly and then waved goodbye as the rest of Trixie's family left to go camping.
