“You were amazing Twilight! Kicking Darrell’s butt back there, I didn’t think you had it in you” Rina praised Twilight in an incredibly giddy mood.
After school, the group of friends had gone out to the local park to celebrate Darrell's defeat.
“Thanks Ri, but I hope that he doesn’t come back tenfold with his revenge” Twilight replied.
Matt scoffed “Twi, you took down Darrel like he was a practice dummy. Unless somehow he got magical powers from between the end of school and now, you should be good to counter anything he throws at you” he explained.
“You are gonna regret saying that Matt” Ashley stated.
Matt replied “Maybe, but i think we are all good”
Harry seemed to be focused on Twilight’s attire, rather than the conversation. “Twilight, I’m glad that you decided to go with the alternate attire i gave you, but could you at least wear the first one a few times? Maybe for a date or something” Harry stated.
Twilight shivered at the thought of a date “Harry, No way am I going on a date with a guy. Hell itself will freeze over before I accept to one”
Harry grinned “I never said it had to be a guy. Or were you implying that because you are a girl now, I was going to think your preference had changed too?”
Twilight blushed furiously “I-I d-don’t know w-what you are t-talking about”
Harry laughed “Don’t worry...yet. I’ll be working on something special for you Twilight”
Twilight didn’t know what this special thing was, but she had a broad idea that it was girly and frilly. Terrance startled Twilight slightly by speaking up next to her.
“Ignore Harry, besides that, don’t worry about Darrell” he said.
“I guess you’re right but I still…”Twilight stopped when she heard a familiar evil laugh.
“Well, Well, Well. Twilight Radderson we meet again” an overly boastful voice spoke out.
Twilight looked towards the source of the voice and came face to face with someone she didn’t think to see here. Trixie. “You’ll pay for what you did to Trixie earlier. Trixie is here to get revenge and she isn’t going to leave unless you agree to fight” Trixie continued.
“...Who is that?” Ashley asked.
“ Why does she talk in the third person?” Harry also asked.
Twilight didn’t respond. She thought what Trixie said, ‘You’ll pay for what you did to Trixie earlier’...’earlier’....”Oh no” Twilight said with obvious realisation. “Darrell?”
Trixie laughed “Yes it is I, Darrell. Well... was Darrell, now she is “THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE!” she boomed.
The rest of the friends expressed shock and confusion “Darrell?” they all said.
Twilight explained “Trixie Lulamoon was a travelling magician in MLP. She boasted about things she didn’t do and when she was found out Twilight showed her up and she fled ponyville. She returned wanting revenge with a powerful new item she acquired but ultimately was stopped again.”
Trixie added in “Trixie can also do much more spells than you can, thanks to her unknown Benefactor. While you need to learn how to use your magic, Trixie can do it like she has done it all her LIFE!” She emphasized the last word by shooting a blast of magic straight for Twilight, luckily just missing it.
Ashley turned to Matt with a sour face “Unless somehow he got magical powers from between the end of school and now, you should be good to counter anything he throws at you” Ashley mimicked.
Matt returned “Hey I didn’t know he was going to turn into an evil anthro pony with magical powers!”
Twilight shouted to stop the two from arguing “Would you two shut it! Right now I need to stop Trixie and even though I’m not all too familiar with my magic yet, I’m not going to run away!”
Taking a stance Twilight began to get ready. It was time for a duel.
===========================================
Focusing her magic, Twilight hurls a nearby bin straight at Trixie. Trixie counters by blasting it with a simple magic attack, sending its contents and remains to explode everywhere.
“You need to do better than that to stop Trixie” Trixie giggled. “Like THIS!” she shouts, firing another magic blast towards Twilight.
Twilight thought about making a shield. She tried to imagine putting her arms up to impersonate a shield, so that a real one would appear, and...nothing happened. Panicking, she ducks down and watches as the blast flies by and smashes into a tree trunk.
‘Why couldn’t I make a shield?’ Twilight wondered, ‘I can lift things by imagining my hand picking it up so....’ Twilight trailed off her thoughts until her eyes lit up at something she thought may work “I could try that” Twilight muttered.
“Trixie is bored of you doing nothing, she will attack you again!” Trixie shouted firing another magic blast at the lavender Anthro.
Twilight grinned, with a spark of magic, a pinkish lavender shield appeared in front of her and deflected the attack right back at Trixie. The boastful anthro didn’t expect it and was pushed back by her own attack.
“How is that possible?!” she exclaimed in confusion.
“Believe it, take this!” Twilight responded by shooting her own magic blast at Trixie, this time sending her flying off into the dirt.
‘Yes, I was right. By doing the opposite to using my arms, I instead imagine a shield conjuring in front of me and a magic blast sent into Trixie’s path.’ Twilight confirmed in her thoughts.
The gang were cheering Twilight on as she fought the bully that also went through a transformation. The said bully gets up and dusts herself off “Hmm, so you have managed to learn how to do basic attack and defensive moves. No matter Trixie will still take you out!”
“Now it really gets good” Trixie smirked.
Twilight and Trixie clashed. Over and over they attacked with magic blasts and then blocked with shields, Twilight couldn’t believe how quickly she was able to learn to use basic attack magic, it probably had something to do with being Twilight and having the cutie mark in magic.
“Have a taste of Trixie’s scatter shot!” the blue unicorn blasted a flurry of blasts Twilight’s way. Focusing on the shots closest to hit, Twilight deflected them and sent her own barrage back at Trixie.
Twilight stepped back and panted. She enjoyed doing this, but considering Trixie was playing for a bigger purpose, ending this had to be the top priority ‘I need to try and end this soon. If Trixie still has the normal Darrell still in there, she should be affected by my teasing.’ Twilight thought.
“Hey Trixie!” Twilight shouted out to smug anthro.
Trixie looked up and growled “What do you want!”
‘Good, she’s already mad’ Twilight continued “Is that all you have to try and take me down? Really, I expected something better from you, I think your benefactor is holding back on giving all your power”
Trixie’s face went blank, then puzzled “What are you talking about?!” she asked.
“Oh nothing much” Twilight turned around, pacing about and observing the destruction of their surroundings “Just that, this stranger that gave you the form and power of Trixie wasn’t so generous in giving you every ounce of it. They must actually intend for you to fail...as a test for me. You’re a practice dummy, Trixie” Twilight mocked.
Trixie became furious “Shut up! Trixie will show you that isn’t true! Feel my POWER!” she yelled.
A large beam of magic shot forth at Twilight, if it landed on her, everything would be over. But Twilight was scared or anything. She just...Grinned.
“What are you smiling at!” Trixie spat.
Twilight said nothing. The magic blast came into contact and exploded, causing a massive plume of smoke to rise.
Trixie thought she had won, she began to cheer “It’s over...Trixie won!”
==============================================
“You didn’t win Trixie!” a voice boomed out.
Trixie stopped her celebration and turned around in horror. Twilight was still standing, completely unscathed.
Then Twilight laughed “But it is indeed over!”
With a strong stance Twilight focused her power and with a loud magic spark, she let’s loose a massive burst of energy at Trixie. The magician tries to deflect it with a shield, but the power was too strong for her too handle and after tripping on a rock, she falls backwards and, funnily enough, into another rubbish bin.
“And that is that!” Twilight finished, dusting her hands off, she returns to her friends, gaining cheers of congratulations for her victory.
Trixie stumbled out of the bin, “Again! Even after Trixie obtained all these powers? You will pay for this Twilight!” she yelled out in anger.
Turning to face the group she was met with only Rina, her face showing no end of surprise and confusion “Actually you are going to pay for all of this damage Trixie. You started it, remember?” Rina explained as she bounced off to find the others, leaving the fuming Trixie to wallow in her anger and confusion.
==============================================
“Ugghh...I feel like I ran a marathon or something”Twilight moaned into her hands as she lazily flopped onto the sofa in the living room and sighed. After the group had departed from the duel with Trixie, Twilight felt incredibly drained of energy. Most likely from using up all that magic in the fight, she thought if Trixie would continue to fight her….Twilight answered her own question ”Of course she’ll still try to fight me, it’s Trixie. If I know the Trixie from the show, she’ll be back...super”
*Beep* Beep* Twilight pulled out her phone. She had a new message from Harry.
It said “Twilight meet me at my house. I need your help...urgently!” Twilight rose back up to her feet instantly “Great, what does Harry need me for this time?” Twilight pondered.
Arriving at Harry’s house Twilight rapped on the door and waited. The door opened not 2 minutes later and Twilight was met with someone else. “Hey Mel, Harry in? He asked me to help with something” Twilight greeted Harry’s younger sister.
As she was described before, Melanie Delmarity was pretty “top heavy” for her age. Her tank top didn’t do her any favours in covering it either. Her long Auburn hair was tied back in a ponytail and she had a half happy half confused look on her face. “John? I guess Harry wasn’t kidding when he said you turned into a pony human...thing” Melanie replied.
“Yeah well, it wasn’t something I asked for. But it’s not that bad...once you get used to it” Twilight replied.
Melanie’s face now stayed at happy “Well it’s good to see you. Harry’s where he always is. I’m sure you know where to go”
Twilight stepped in and replied “Yep, sure do. This better be good Harry” she muttered the last part.
“....Well… I walked into that one...literally” Twilight said blankly as she stared at the overly flashy dress.
“Twilight please, you are here anyway, so you might as well” Harry begged.
Harry had brought Twilight over to try on a (wait for it)...BALL GOWN! As expected Twilight was furious that Harry made the message sound urgent when it was only this.
“Harry this doesn’t clarify as “urgent”. Seriously the hell?” Twilight countered.
Harry protested “But it is urgent! I promised my cousin that I would make her a good ball gown and I need the right measurements. That’s the real reason I was inspecting you earlier, because you have pretty much the same proportions as she does. It won’t take very long, please” Harry explained.
Twilight wanted to leave, but that would be the bad move. Looking multiple time at Harry’s pleading face and the dress, she sighed and extended her arm out so she could grab the dress.
Harry beamed “Oh thank you Twilight”
Twilight laughed hesitantly “Yeah, hehe...no...problem. What have I gotten myself into?”
