In the lunch room, Twilight looked over the crowd of high school students, noting that the entire high school class ate together, while the elementary and jr. high ate in different time periods. This was a far cry from her old city high school, where the seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen had their own separate lunch periods. Being used to cliques, Twilight recognized the ecokids, fashionestas, jocks, geeks, and other groups. Yet these group boundaries seemed to be breaking down. Fluttershy and Rarity were sitting with Applejack and Sunset. A very butch style jock was also with them and what seemed to be a class clown joined them. Wait, an epiphany struck Twilight. Could they be the main six?
The ‘clown’ waved to Twilight to come join them. Twilight was frightened. Who were they? They were breaking all the rules by sitting together. What kind of power did they possess? They seemed friendly, but Twilight had the feeling they were keeping a terrible secret. She was sure it had something to do with the recent incident. She needed to think about this, make a plan before diving in. Twilight looked for another table, realizing that the ‘clown’ seemed particularly upset. In the far corner, a girl was sitting by herself playing with a deck of cards. Twilight would join her; it would give Twilight time to think.
“You’re the new girl”
“Yeah, I bet you already know my name?”
“The Great & Powerful Trixie never bothers with knowing names. Would you like to see a magic trick?”
“Sure”
“Pick a card”
