Not so Great and Powerful
chapter 2
Aunt Magic led the small filly into the big mansion. "Welcome to the Tricks Mansion, Sugarcube." Aunt Magic then led Trixie through the kitchen and into the living room. "You hungry?"
Trixie shook her head and turned to look out of the window, "Do you live on a farm?" The blue filly walked over to the window and peered out of it.
"You could said that." Said Magic before walking over to the window too.
Trixie nodded before looking out of the window again, "It's beautiful."
The mansion was surround by woods, but there was a good amount of land behind the house. All of Aunt Magic's territory was surrounded by a beautiful cloud-white fence. The grass was cut which left the cutest pattern in the lawn, and there was a porch at the back of the house that Aunt Magic would have cookouts at. There was even a small red barn that connected to the fence; it probably had some type of animal in it.
"Yea. It's peaceful here. Every now and then you'll see a traveler past by, but usually it's quieter than a mouse. Unless you count the birds chirping in the morning and let's not mention Mr.Doodle. He wakes me up every single morning at the same time, but you'll get use to it!" Trixie's aunt chuckled before entering the kitchen once more.
Trixie looked around the giant living room before heading upstairs. "It's so big..." The blue unicorn murmured to herself as she continued down the hallway.
"Your darn right too!"
Trixie jumped around in a 180 degree angle to face the stallion that just startled her. "Oh. Um who are you?" Trixie curled in a tight ball on the floor. The unicorn looked up at the stallion before covering her eyes with her hooves.
The stallion laughed before bending down to meet the frightened filly. "Well look at you. You've grown so much since the last time I've seen you!" The white stallion chuckled before standing back up. "Nice to meet you again, Trixie. My name is Card Tricks, but you can call me Card! Oh and I'm your uncle!"
A smile grew as she looked up at her uncle. "Wow! I seen you in ages!" Trixie jumped up and greeted her uncle with a big hug. "Gosh I missed you!" Trixie said before stopping to think, "Sorry about earlier... I haven't seen you in so long that I kinda forgot what you looked liked!"
Uncle Card smiled and hugged the blue filly back. "I was worried that you wouldn't remember me." The white stallion confessed to his young niece.
Trixie smiled at Card Tricks. "I'd never forget my favorite aunt and uncle!" said Trixie.
It was around six o' clock in the afternoon when Aunt Magic had dinner made. The aqua colored mare smiled at her husband as he and Trixie came down the stairs laughing. "I'm glad you two are getting along." Aunt Magic grinned at her two family members.
The sun was just above the horizon and soon it would become dark. "Maybe tomorrow I'll tell you about the story of Nightmare Moon!" Uncle Card bent down to face the little filly before crackling evilly.
Magic Tricks turned to face her husband, "Oh, Card, don't frighten the poor foal!" The aquamarine mare smiled before turning back to finish cooking dinner.
"Auntie Magic! Auntie Magic!" Trixie raced over to the aquamarine mare. "I'm having the best time of my life!"
Magic Tricks smiled before looked out of the window and at the setting sun. "That's good to hear, Darling!" said Magic.
Trixie smiled before heading towards the dinner table. "What's for dinner?" The young filly asked before sitting down.
"Fried Hay fries and grilled daffodil sandwich! Yummmmmmmy!" The blue unicorn's uncle licked his lips and rubbed his tummy.
Trixie imitated her uncle by licking her lips and rubbing her belly, "Mmmm! Sounds tasty!" said Trixie.
Card Tricks smiled at the blue unicorn, "Your aunt's food is always tasty! It's a shock that her cutie mark isn't about cooking!" Uncle Card chuckled before levitating the sandwich with his magic and taking a bite. "Try it, Trix!" Trixie's uncle grabbed another sandwich and placed it on his niece's plate.
The blue filly hesitated before slowly lifting the food with her magic. "Ok, but I'm not really hungry..." Trixie opened her mouth and slowly took a bite. The butter mixed with the cheese made Trixie's taste buds go wild as she slowly swallowed the sandwich. "Wow! This doesn't taste that bad!"
Auntie Magic's face lit up with happiness, "I'm glad ya'll like it."
Trixie smiled at her aunt and uncle, "I really like it-" The young filly was interrupted by a big yawn.
"Seems like somepony is tired!" Trixie's uncle picked the blue unicorn up and took her up to the foal's guest room. The room was a little smaller than the living room and there was a bed in the center of the room. A curtain-like drape slumped over the bed making it look like one of those beds from a fairytale. A bookshelf was one either sides of the bed. Card Tricks laid his niece on the bed and laid a purple blanket over her. "Sleep tight and don't let the bugs bite." The white stallion kissed the blue filly on her forehead before giving her a Starswirled the Bearded plushie and tucking the blanket under her.
