Not so Great and powerful

Tears of Pain, Tears of Joy.

What happened to her? Why is she so untalented? Who is this worthless filly?

Trixie lifts her head and peers out of one of the windows in the train. "Tabby. Wake up." Trixie smiled and gently shook her friend's shoulder.

Tabby warily lifts her head off of her magician hat. "Wha-?" The brown filly slowly get up and stretches. "Where are we?"

The blue unicorn smiled, "We're in Las Pegasus!" Trixie pointed at a billboard that said, Las Pegasus, 2 miles "Tabby gather everything up! I'm going to have to use the transportation spell again."

The small brown unicorn nodded at her friend before scurrying away to grab there stuff.

Trixie sighed and looked out of the window and up into the night sky, "I hope your in a happier place, Auntie. Give uncle card this kiss for me, ok?" Trixie's voice cracked as she blew a kiss and led it up into the sky. The blue unicorn wiped away the salty tears and walked over to her friend and started to help her pack up.

It was about midnight by the time the train stopped at the train station. "Alright Tabby! You ready to go big?" Trixie closed her eyes and thought about transporting her and Tabby out of the train and into the train station.

"Let's go! Before they catch us!" Tabby used her magic to lift a few of the suitcases when they touched the cement.

Trixie nodded and lifted the rest of the luggage with her magic and ran after her brown friend.

"So Trixie. Where are we going to go?"

The blue filly looked at the ground as she ran. "I'm not sure yet..." Trixie looked up at TabbyBelle and smiled, "But I'll find out." Trixie smiled and than turned into an alley.

Tabby stopped beside the blue unicorn and looked at her with confusion, "Why are we stopping here?"

Trixie frowned for awhile before speaking to her friend, "Well I was think that we should lay low for now and when we're older we could buy a house."

The brown filly looked at Trixie and nodded. "I guess your right. But what about money? Food?"

The edges of Trixie's mouth curved up into a smile, "That's where are magic comes in!" Trixie looked around the alley and trots over to a box in the far corner of their new home. "We'll be the best magicians Las Pegasus has ever seen!" The blue unicorn slides the box over to Tabby and takes her magic book out her suitcase and lays it on top of the box and opens it. "TabbyBelle. This is where our fame starts!" The blue unicorn smiled and points at her book.

Back in Baltimare

Pixie walks upstairs and slowly opens her younger sister's bedroom door. "Trixie? It's breakfast!" The pink unicorn walked over to the form under the blankets. "Trixie?" Pixie quickly threw the blankets back and stumbled backwards as a basket bounces onto the floor. "Trixie!?" Pixie's eyes shrink in fear. "Mother! Mother come quickly!" Pixie raced downstairs and into her mom's room.

Silver shots out of bed when she heard Pixie's screams. "Pixie!? What's wrong!?"

The pink unicorn looked down at her hooves before speaking, "Trixie's..."

Silver looked at her daughter, her once soft gaze turned angry and dull. "What about her." Trixie's mother growled.

Pixie watched as a tear slid down her cheek and landed onto the floor. "She's gone."

Silver looked at her daughter with disbelief, "Pixie Lulamoon! This is not a joking matter!" Silver yelled at the saddened unicorn.

Pixie glared at her mother for the first time, "I'M NOT JOKING, MOTHER!" The pink unicorn screamed before running out of the house and into the woods that surrounded it.

Silver looked taken aback by her daughter's tone before rushing upstairs to check if Trixie was hiding. "Trixie! Where are you!?" Trixie's mother ran out of the house and raced after her older daughter. "Pixie get your flank back here right now!"

Back in Las Pegasus

"Gather around everypony! And watch The Great And Powerful Trixie do unbelievable tricks!" Tabby yelled as loud as she could to the ponies that swarmed the sidewalks.

The blue unicorn smiled before using her magic to make fireworks explode into beautiful colors and shapes. "That's right! Come this way to see amazing tricks!" TabbyBelle coaxed a few more ponies before joining Trixie.

"What's next? TabbyBelle looked at Trixie before being lifted by Trixie's magic.

"Just watch." Trixie used her magic to wrap a long black ribbon around her friend. Trixie squeezed the ribbon tightly around her friend when Tabby disappeared in mid-air. The ponies that crowded around the two young magicians gasp and stomped their hooves on the ground. Trixie grinned and lifted a box up and her brown friend trotted out from under it. "Tada!" Trixie and TabbyBelle smiled as a few ponies threw some bits into a bucket.

"Thank you everypony!" Trixie and Tabby bowed to their crowd and took the bucket and waved to them once more before the crowd dispersed. "Alright Tabby! Let's see how much we got today!" Trixie and TabbyBelle glance at each other before dumping the bucket, "2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19." Trixie smiled with pride. "19 bits for our first show!" TabbyBelle held her hoof up and Trixie hit it with her hoof, "Hoof Bump!" The two filly laughed before picking up their currency and putting it away.
