"Well you've improved a little bit, but you've still got a long way to go." Luna says looking at Trixie seriously. "Now then, I think we'll take a break on dream magic and move onto something else." Luna stands around thinking as Trixie forces herself to stand up. "How about we move onto some a little more serious." "Serious?" Luna asks curiously. "Yes, maybe you are ready for something more serious and more impressive." "Yes then I'll show her." Trixie says under her breath. "I'll show her who's better." Luna looks on her seriously before starting to walk off. "We'll cut it off here tonight and pick things up later." Trixie looks on seriously as Luna walks off before an odd shadow flows out from under Trixie. A while later during the day Twilight wanders around the castle before finding Trixie sitting in the garden messing around with some magic. "Trixie." Twilight rushes to Trixie's side happily looking at her "How'd you do last night?" Twilight looks at Trixie annoyed before turning her head away and looking off annoyed. "Please, I respectfully ask you to go away." Trixie says annoyed by Twilight. "If you would Princess." "Um Trixie, what's wrong?" "Oh nothing, I'm just tired of you hanging over me like the perfect princess that you are." Trixie looks enraged by Twilight before walking off annoyed. "I'm sorry that I'm not a perfect little princess like you, I'm just a mistake to you aren't I." "What, I never said that you were a mistake." "But it's in your eyes, everyone loves their little Princess Twilight Sparkle but I'm looked on with disdain ad they wonder why I'm a princess and why I'm not locked up in Tartarus." Trixie says annoyed. "So just leave me alone." Trixie runs off as Twilight stands around stunned by her actions. Meanwhile up above in a nearby tower Celestia looks down at the pair with a telescope. "This is bad." Celestia says seriously. "This is really bad." A minute later Celestia rushes into Luna's room where Luna sleeps in her bed quietly. "Sister, we need to talk!" Celestia says bursting through the door. "It's an emergency." "What is it sister?" "It's about your apprentice, Trixie." "What about her, she's on her way down a dark path." Celestia says seriously. "A path not unlike you once traveled." "What do you mean?" Luna says raising out of bed. "She seems fine." "I once ignored you when you were headed down a dark road, so I maybe be ahead of myself but I can't turns my back on something like that again." Celestia says seriously. "But I don't think I can help her." "So what do you want to do?" "I think you need to talk to her, maybe then you'll be able to help her." "Fine, maybe I'll help her." Luna says seriously. "But I think she can work through her issues on her own." "She's your apprentice and I won't interfere, but I don't want a repeat of what happened with you and me all those years ago." Celestia looks seriously at Luna as Luna notices the worry in her face. "Fine, I'll deal with it." Luna says trying to reassure Celestia. "But I'll only interfere if I think it's absolutely necessary." Meanwhile in the back of the castle Trixie messes around with magic accidently creating a burst of electricity that burns some carpet. "Damn it, I almost had it there." Trixie says seriously. "Okay, one more time I have to get this right." Trixie concentrates yet again creating a storm cloud above her head with blasts of lightning coming down from it blasting the ground. "Yes, it's almost there." Trixie says happily. "Once I'm done I'll show her." A while later Trixie stands looking outside her window as the sun starts going down and the moon rises. "Yes, all I have to do is impress her and then I can show up Twilight." Trixie says excitedly. "Now all I have to do is show Luna, I'm sure she'll like it." As the moon appears in the sky Trixie rushes to her bed before struggling around and then uses magic to fall asleep. A minute later Trixie awakens in the dream world looking around and finding Luna sitting atop a hill looking down on her seriously. "Luna, I've got something amazing to show you!" Trixie says excitedly. "If I can get it right you'll let me show it to Celestia right?" "Trixie, I think we'll lay off your amazing thing for now." Luna says seriously. "We'll go back to dream magic and then some simpler things for now." "What do you mean?" "My Sister came to me with some concerns after your encounter with Twilight Sparkle...." "Twilight Sparkle!" Trixie yells out annoyed. "Damn it, it's always Twilight!" "Trixie?" "Celestia wants you to hold off on my training because she's worried about her dear student!" Trixie yells out annoyed as a large shadow forms underneath her. "This is how it always goes she's the one who always get's the praise!" As Trixie yells out the shadow grows large and large before it starts to encompass Trixie and flows through the dream world. "Is this what my Sister was afraid of?" "I'm tired of it." Trixie says annoyed. "I'm going to show you, no everyone, I'm going to crush Twilight Sparkle and prove myself." As the shadow takes her completely Luna looks on seriously with a magic aura flowing through her horn. "Well it's time I have to interfere."
