The wind pushing the branches, making a sound that hushes down little by little. Luna's moon was shinning brightly at the forest's floor, being shaded away by the rustling trees. The weak wind whistled in to Trixie's ears, blowing her tears away to the side.
Trixie patted the ground. She had hidden herself in the farthest forest she could travel to, for she did not want to be bothered. No one would be in this menacing forest, but Trixie didn't care. All she wanted was to be left alone with her thoughts. She covered her whole face with her hat, each tear making a dark ring wherever it landed. Soon enough her whole hat was covered in her tears, so she just threw it as far as she could, blending in with the dark shades made by the trees.
She decided to just stop. "There is no purpose to continue this act. It all started because of that MARE. What was her name again...Twilight I think. If she had not defeated the Ursaminor, I would still be the main attraction! Everywhere I would have gone to, there would have been stallions and mares with their fillies lining up to see me. The great and Powerful Trixie. I owe all this misery to Twilight Sparkle. Her magic was very advanced, but that is only because of her teacher Princess Celestia taught her everything she knows!"
Trixie then stood up wiping away her tears with her hoof. "I do not think anypony will ever forgive me though. Throughout this entire time, I have yet to meet one pony who sees I have changed. They all just see me and do not give me a single chance!"
She took a look at her hat which didn't go very far. She stared at it for a few moments, walking closer and closer towards it. She remembered when she got that hat, it made her the pony she is today. She was just a filly playing in her school's playground alone. She did not even have a cutie mark yet but she did really desire doing magic for her parents. The spells she preformed as a filly are the same ones she still does now.
Trixie was very different back then. She was more kind and sweeter, but something changed her. Her own talent.
Trixie arrived at her house when her mother greeted her. Trixie replied with a soft Hello.
"Guess what I got for you?" Her mother said in a teasing voice.
Trixie's eyes grew wide."Ooo! What is it?!"
Her mother pulled out a purple hat covered in stars of different sizes and colors. Trixie jumped in excitement while she put it on. The whole hat covered her entire face, resulting in trixie's 'thank you' to her mother, in to a mumbled pair of words. Her mother laughed at her daughter's glee.
"Why don't you put another show for your father and me now that you have a 'more spectacular' appearance."
Trixie lifted up her hat and nodded at her mother.
She was so excited about the present her mother gave her. She was filled with joy, but with new appearances means new tricks. So she asked her mother to say if it was okay to delay the show.
"Why? I thought you loved to do magic," her mother said pretending to be confused.
"I do, but I want to learn NEW spells. I really want to impress you and father, and maybe in the future, all of Equestria. So I must practice!"
Trixie's mother chuckled then agreed. Trixie then ran towards her room with excitement and locked her door so she would not be disturbed as she learned her new trick. She spent all night working on them. She was learning on how to make something disappear then reappear. She would use her stuffed animals as the test subjects, but she never got the hang of it. She then gave up for the night. Trixie was exhausted after a night of learning magic, even if it was only one spell. She then tucked herself in her covers and drifted off to sleep.
As Celestia's sun rose, so did Trixie out of her bed. Her mane looked like it had been rubbed to a balloon pulling it away from her head, twisting and curving.. She let out a yawn then tossed her covers aside and ran towards her spell book. The despondent filly continued to do the spell she was trying to master last night, but all that would proceed from her horn would be dead sparks flying away then disappearing. She began to lose hope until she tried it one last time. The blue stuffed animal vanished as Trixie opened up her eyes."Mr. Bunny!?" She was astonished at this sight, it was her first time she made something disappear, but she still needed it to reappear.
She closed her eyes and grunted as her horn stared to glow. Sparks getting stronger, and then her almond colored bunny reappeared sure enough. At her first time making something reappear again, she had done it. She screamed with delight resulting in both of her parents to check up on her. Rushing as fast as they could. Both parents pounded on the door which was locked. Trixie jumped off her chair and opened it for her worried parents.
"Is everything okay Trixie!?" Her mother questioned.
"Sorry if I woke you up, mother and father, but I really wanted to impress you both with my new spell."
"Oh...is that it? Okay. Be careful now and don't do anything dangerous okay Trixie?"
"I won't!"
It had reached the afternoon and the sky made a dark red color at the atmosphere. Trixie began to build her own stage at this time. Her parents would ask her if she needed any help, but she would decline and say 'I have to do it all on my own'. As she put the finishing touches to her mini stage, she began to get a bit nervous even if it was only her own mother and father. She ignored the thoughts and continued decorating. Her confidence rising as she picked up her stuffed bunny, setting it down on a wooden chair. She had spent all day working on the stage, for she had forgotten to practice her own spell.
As her parents sat down, Trixie was on the other side of her stage. Her purple hat poked out the front of the curtain as she made her own sound effects, twisting and wobbling as it made her parents giggle. Trixie then jumped from behind the curtains and whistled a royal song which was used when a royal guest appeared, signifying she was ready.
She smiled as she watched her mother and father clap. She then bowed and pulled out her stuffed animal from behind her.
"Watch as I make Mr. bunny disappear!" Trixie yelled out confidently.
Her parents replied with an 'Ooo'.
Trixie thoughts were only on looking nice while she was preforming, only for her eyes to drop as she pulled out her stuffed animal. She had remembered that she never got the chance to practice. I do not need to worry! Thought Trixie. If I did it once, I can do it again.
Her horn glowed, and so did her bunny. Her bunny began to levitate weakly,until it just plopped down showing a blast of dust. Trixie then tried again, closing her eyes and hoping when she opened them, 'Mr. Bunny' would be gone.
She grew in disappointment as she tried her best to make her bunny disappear. Her head started to ache as she made her last attempt. She dropped down to the floor gasping for air. She covered her face, not wanting her parents to see her cry. They rushed over to comfort Trixie.
"I'm sorry mom and dad. I just really wanted to impress you both, but I forgot to practice and failed you both."
They both laughed and Trixie pulled her face away from her hat. "Why are you both laughing?" Trixie said with a baffled look on her face.
"We don't care if you didn't pull the trick off. You have plenty of tries to do so. No matter what happens, you will always be our great and powerful Trixie."
Trixie hugged her parents tightly and smiled.
