Chapter one: The first of the entries.

The Great and Poweful Trixies’ Journal. Second entry.

The Great and Powerful Trixie is, of course, keeping to her word to write each day in this soon to be Great and Wondrous Log of the Great and Powerful Trixies’ exploits throughout Equestria. Although Travelling rarely leads to any interesting things for the Great and Powerful Trixie to write about. The destruction of the Great and Powerful Trixies’ caravan at the malicious hooves of Twilight Sparkle has left The Great and Powerful Trixie carrying her own few possessions via her magic. The Great and Powerful Trixie, needless to say, is NOT impressed.

But the Great and Powerful Trixie shall persist.

For the Great and Powerful Trixie shall never give up! The Great and Powerful Trixie is magnanimously loved by all! Her performance shall be legendary throughout the land of Equestria as Great and Powerful! Just like Trixie herself!
Anyhow. Trixie is camping outside a small village. Drab place. Much in need of The Great and Powerful Trixies’ performance capabilities. The Inhabitants of the silly town seem so depressed it’s ridiculous. The Great and Powerful Trixie shall amaze them with lights and Brilliant magical feats! And Trixie shall be paid for her efforts of course.

All in the morrow of course. The Great and Powerful Trixie needs her beauty sleep.

Great and Powerful journal entry number three.

How uncouth! Those imbeciles don’t know great talent in performing if it slaps them over the head with a codfish. How dare they throw the Great and Powerful Trixie out of their dirty, backwater, ugly little hovel! And without even one bit! Ugh!
The Great and Powerful Trixie shall continue searching then, and find another, more respectful, cleaner and much nicer smelling town without worrying about this smelly little place again. The Great and Powerful Trixie doesn’t have to put up with this.

Trixie has spent the past eight hours trying to perform, but the neighsayers continue to stop her. Trixie was not impressed, and is now trying to find sleep outside the town under some trees she found with her Gloriously Brilliant survival skills! The trees The Great and Powerful Trixie has chosen to lay under are right next to a lovely pool of fresh water too! Trixie shall have a bath tonight in the cool water under the lovely Moonlit night! Oh my, would it not that Trixie had a somepony to share it with... Oh, perhaps that treacherous Twilight Sparkle to watch as Trixie bathes in the deliciously cool water whilst she is tied to one of the trees, begging Trixie to let her join in.

Oh, the delicious thoughts of vengeance! Oh, it makes my mouth water just thinking about it! It’s only been about a week since that actually... Trixie will never forget! Never!

Trixie is going to have a bath now. Trixie needs to cleanse herself of the offensive odours of the miserable little town she was just in.

Great and Powerful journal entry number four.

Trixie has journeyed for many hours and is taking a short break for a while whilst she uses her Brilliant survivalist skills to find food. Trixie has no problems with water. Trixie is always prepared for such a thing. It has dawned upon Trixie just how lucky she is to be so Great and Powerful. Not like that silly Twilight Sparkle. Ooh, just the thought of that purple menace gives Trixie the trembles of rage. That she would even consider upstaging Trixie! The nerve!

The Great and Powerful Trixie would just like to make it clear that the only reason she was having such trouble with the Ursa that day is simply because she was unprepared for its’ arrival. As such, Trixie was incapable of focusing as she should have been capable of. That is the reason it would have taken Trixie a little longer than normal to send that silly Ursa running home again.

Honestly, the nerve of some ponies.

It’s hot. And Trixie hates the heat. But Trixie shall endure as only Trixie shall! Trixie is Great! Trixie is Powerful! Trixie does not give into the silly heat of the day! Nor does she give into the heat of the moment! Trixie always knows what she’s doing! Trixie will update this later perhaps.

Great and Powerful Journal entry number four continued!

The Great and Powerful Trixie has finally stopped to rest. In a cave of all things! A cave! It’s not actually all that bad, but then, It’s not a five star resort as the Great and Powerful Trixie deserves either. Oh well. Trix-

[The rest of the page is burnt away, leaving traces of sulphur, cordite and strangely enough, trace amounts of what appeared to be grass. The entry seems to continue on the next page.]

Oh Dear Celestia! The Great and Powerful Trixie was ambushed by three fully grown dragons! However The Great and Powerful Trixie was more than a match and sent them scuttling away with their tails between their legs! To be safe, Trixie has moved away from the deceitful caves back into the open air. Nothing can sneak up on the Great and Powerful Trixie here! The Great and Powerful Trixie can sleep in peace knowing none shall tarry around this place, nor would they even begin to hope to match Trixies’ expertise! However, Trixie will need to repair her cloak... It seems to have been slightly singed in the fierce flames of the ambushers. Trixie shall repair it on the morrow as Trixie needs her beauty sleep.

Ta-ta Journal! Trixie shall now return to the realm of her Great and Powerful dreams!
