//------------------------------// // The Show must go on. // Story: Sonic and Equestria Girls // by SonicAKG //------------------------------// The Show Must Go On It was a typical day in the city of Canterlot. In front of a large and clearly expensive empty venue indoors, Trixie was standing there, wearing her blue wizard hat and cape coated with blue white and yellow stars and celestial objects. Behind her, she had a small miniature wagon that was colored yellow with a red rooftop. It had a small entrance in front and had a symbol of a purple crescent moon in front. It had a small purple sign with Trixie's symbol, a crescent moon with small stars. Trixie was standing in front of a large man with white skin and short purple hair. He had a thick purple mustache alongside a small purple goatee and thick bushy eyebrows. He wore a blue tracksuit as a golden chain hung from his neck. Next to him was a young teen girl with orange skin and her hair wrapped in a purple ponytail. She shared the man's eyebrows and had a blue checkered shirt alongside a red scarf with orange pants. "Ms. Trixie, I must thank you for offering to perform for my daughter's birthday." The man said with a thick Russian accent as he placed his arms around the girl next to him. "No other magician could make it on time and I was worried that I would have to cancel. My little girl just adores the magics." He continued as the girl nodded eagerly with a smile, displaying her braces. "When I heard of your services, I knew I just had to hire you. I would hate to disappoint Plaid Stripe." The man finished. "You made the right choice, Mr. Stripes. The Great and Powerful Trrrrrrixie is the greatest magician of her time!" Trixie boasted. "Ah, that is good to hear. Then I expect an excellent show for my daughter's show." Mr. Stripes replied. "Of course, I'm going to knock your socks off. Just observe, I'll give a quick demo." Trixie said as she took a smoke pellet and threw it on the ground, causing a large screen of blue smoke to appear. The smoke cleared and Trixie wasn't in sight as Mr. Stripes and daughter looked around for her. Suddenly, Trixie appeared behind them as she got their attention. "That is just one of the many talents of the Great and Powerful Trrrrixie!" She stated. Trixie noticed that Mr. Stripes and his daughter didn't look too impressed. She got a confused look on her face. "Uh, what's wrong?" Trixie asked. "Every year for my birthday, I've always had a magician there. In my 13 years, I've seen almost every trick in the book. For this show, I want something new and inventive!" Plaid Stripes demanded with a lisp. Trixie let out a small laugh and waved her hand in a dismissive manner. "I'm sure you haven't seen everything. Have you seen the Square in the Circle?" "Yep." "The Deck of cards that no matter which one you pick, it will always be the Joker?" "Yep." "The cape of invisibility?" "Yep." "The Vanishing Box with a person cut in half?" "Yep." "The inescapable water tank." "That was last year." "....The inseparable handcuffs??" "You bet." ".......The never ending rainbow ?" "I told you, I've seen it all! I want something exciting! Isn't that right, Daddy?" Plaid Stripes said as she turned to her father. Trixie now looked a little nervous as she tried to force a smile. "Yes. This year, I promised my daughter she would have the greatest magic show ever seen. I would do anything to make her smile. So, I expect you to perform an entirely new act." Mr. Stripes explained. "Well...... hypothetically speaking, what if I...for example, didn't bring any new tricks?" Trixie asked uneasily. "Then this would be the worst magic show ever!" Plaid Stripes yelled out. "Yes, my daughter would be absolutely crushed. And I hate to see her smile taken away. If she is not happy, then I am not happy." Mr. Stripes started to say before he leaned in Trixie's face in an intimidating manner. She gulped uneasily. "And you would not like me when I am unhappy. So in other words, if you disappoint my daughter, I'll have you pay back all the money I spent on you and for renting this venue." Mr. Stripes threatened in a pushy manner. Trixie almost had a heart attack at what he said. She looked back at the venue and realized it must've have cost a fortune. She suddenly didn't feel so good as she felt an enormous amount of pressure on her and her face sank. "But, it will be alright. After all, you say you are the best magician of your time." Mr. Stripes said in a jolly tone. "I look forward to an excellent show." "Yep, the Great and Powerful Trixie has totally got this. Trixie is totally not freaking out and feels that this might be the most stressful thing she's ever done." Trixie said in an anxious tone as sh let out a nervous laugh . "That's the spirit. See you later, Ms. Trixie." Mr. Stripes said as he and his daughter walked off, leaving Trixie with her wagon. "Yep. That's the spirit." Trixie said weakly as she watched the two of them walk away. When they left, Trixie suddenly sank to the floor as she leaned against her wagon. Back in Canterlot, Trixie was at the Sugar Cube Corner, which was mostly empty. She was sitting in a booth with her hands on her face and looking extremely stressed out. "What is Trixie going to do? Mr. Stripes and his daughter want the best magic show ever, but they've seen all the tricks I have planned out!If I don't bring anything new, it's going to cost me an arm and a leg." Trixie complained as she put her head down. "Trixie needs a miracle." She said in a small voice as she lifted her head. Suddenly, Trixie looked out the window to see Silver walking on the sidewalk. He was holding a full grocery bag and just going about his business. As he walked forward, Silver then noticed a jar of jam was slipping out his bag and nearly hit the floor. However, Silver acted quickly, using his psychic powers to prevent it from hitting the floor as it glowed green alongside his hand. Silver looked around to make sure no one could see him and he placed the jar back in the bag and continued to walk. Trixie had seen the whole thing. When her eyes landed on Silver using his powers, an idea clicked in her head and she broke out into a smile. "(Trixie's got the perfect plan!)" She thought as she exited the Sugar Cube Corner. As Silver continued to walk down the sidewalk, he heard Trixie call out to him. "Hey, wait up!" Trixie yelled as he turned around to see her coming towards him. Silver then stopped his tracks. "Oh, hey, it's...Trixie, right?" Silver said. He didn't know her too well. "Yes. I am the Great and Powerful Trrrrixie!" She confirmed as she raised her hand high. "And you are......uh....Venice, was it?" "Silver." Silver corrected. He was curious to why Trixie came up to him. They had barely spoken to each other during his time at CHS. "So, what can I do for you? I mean, we normally don't talk." Silver asked her. "Trixie needs your help. Urgently." Trixie answered. "Me? What can I do?" Silver said in a puzzled tone. "It's like this. I got a gig performing a magic show at a venue for a birthday party. The problem is, the owner of the venue's daughter has seen almost every magic trick. And all those are the ones I planned to do. I was told if I don't come up with something new, I'm going to be charged all the money used to rent the place and the amount it cost to hire me." Trixie explained. "That sounds bad." Silver stated. "But I'm not sure how I can help." "Trixie knows about you and your powers. You can make things move around with your mind. With that, you can help me pull off a new one kind of magical act!" Trixie suggested as she beamed. Silver looked unsure as he began to rub the back of his head nervously. "I dunno Trixie. I mean, I get that you're in a tough position, but I'm not sure if I should use my powers for something like this." Silver admitted, much to Trixie's dismay. That was the last thing she wanted to hear. "Please, Silver you have to help me! This could be Trixie's chance to make it big as a performing magician. If I fail this, not only will I be bankrupt, I'll be a laughing stock as a performer!" She begged as she put her hands together. Silver was conflicted. He didn't feel like this was an appropriate use of his powers, but he saw that Trixie really needed help and he couldn't say no to someone in need. After thinking it over for a while, he sighed. "Okay, I'll help you out." Silver finally said. Hearing this made Trixie form a wide smile on her face. "Oh, thank you, thank you!" Trixie said with happiness. "You're a life saver. Here's the address of the place. Around 6 in the evening, meet me there! The show starts at 6:30, but I just want to go over some tricks we can do! Trixie added as she handed a Silver a small card with a picture of the venue. "Got it." Silver said as he took it. "I guess I'll see you later." "Of course! And thanks so much, Silver! Trixie owes you one!" Trixie said as she walked away to get prepared for the event, leaving Silver alone. "Man, I hope I'm doing the right thing." He said to himself. Later during the evening, the venue was prepared for Trixie's magic show. Lights were shown from it and guest trickled in as they filled the seats inside. The entrance had a poster advertising the event, calling it 'TRIXIE, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, LIVE AND IN PERSON.' The poster featured Trixie gripping a golden sphere with two large eyes behind her. Backstage behind the curtains, Trixie peered through a hole and she saw the entire crowd that appeared. In the front were Mr. Stripes and his daughter. Trixie looked a little anxious as she pulled the curtain back. "Get it together, Trixie. You can do this. You can do this." She said to herself. Silver then arrived backstage as he approached the still nervous Trixie. "Hey, hope I'm on time. " Trixie heard Silver say as she turned around to see him coming towards her. She relaxed a bit. "Perfect! You're here!" Trixie said with relief. "Yeah. Gotta say it's quite the crowd outside." Silver commented, making Trixie get even more uneasy, which he noticed. "Not that you can't handle it." He quickly added. "With my help, you'll be sure to blow them away." "Trixie hope so. Anyway, let's go over what I had in mind." Trixie said. A while later, the lights started to dim off in the venue, signifying that it was time for the show to start. The audience now had their attention on the stage. A blue light shone in the center and shortly after, Trixie emerged. "Welcome to the Great and Powerful Trrrrixie's one of a kind special magic show!" She announced with confidence. "Trixie promises that this will be a one of a kind event, never performed in the history of magic!" She went on. "Are you ready to have your minds blown?" Plaid stripe eagerly nodded in the crowd. "Behold, the power that is Trixie!" The light was shown on a stack of different colored thick books. Trixie turned to them and pointed both of her hands toward it. For a while, nothing seemed to happen before suddenly, each of the books started to be enveloped in a green aura, catching the interest of the audience as they started to float in the air and headed for Trixie individually. Trixie then 'made' the books surround her in a circle. "Observe!" Trixie stated as the books started spinning around her more rapidly. The audience was impressed with what they saw as they murmured amongst themselves. Trixie liked where this was going. Trixie then began to juggle each of the floating books around for a while before she made them stop and float mid-air and arranged them in a stack, setting them down on the floor once more and captivating the audience. "This is only a fraction of what Trixie can do!" She said. The light was then shown on a large full tank of water. Using her 'powers', Trixie turned her attention towards it and she 'lifted' all of the liquid from the tank mid-air, much to the audience's delight. She then 'condensed" the liquid to form a giant bubble full of water, before taking it apart to form small droplets. "Be amazed at how even the elements bend to Trixie's will!" Trixie stated before she placed the water back into the tank. Trixie then brought a small golden birdcage in front of her. This time, she 'bent' it apart, reducing to different metal pieces. She then 'rearranged' the metal to form a medallion, similar to the one that Mr. Stripes wore before she 'handed' it to Plaid Stripes in the audience, who grinned with delight as she did. "Trixie would like to thank the audience for their time!" Trixie announced as she floated in the air with a green aura and took a bow. Trixie was meet with cheers and applauses from the entire crowd. They had all loved her! Trixie gained a large smile on her face as she descended to the ground. All of this praise was for her! "Thank you, thank you!" Trixie hopes to see you all soon one day she said as the curtains closed. Trixie was now backstage and she could barely contain her excitement. She had actually pulled it off and was a success! She giggled slightly. "Sounds like they enjoyed the show." Silver said as he approached her. "They did! And it's all thanks to you!" Trixie exclaimed as she ran and threw her arms around Silver suddenly, giving him a tight hug. Silver certainly wasn't expecting this and was taken aback, his eyes widening slightly. Trixie realized what she was doing and she immediately let go of Silver as her eyes widened as well. "Um, can Trixie pay you to pretend that never happened?" Trixie awkwardly asked. Just then, Silver and Trixie were joined by Mr. Stripe's backstage. He was looking quite pleased as his face sported a large grin. "Ms. Trixie, your show was a success. My daughter loved it! She said it was the best show she's ever seen!" Mr. Stripes congratulated. "Really?!" Trixie asked. "Yes, she was so happy." Mr. Stripes verified. His eyes then landed on Silver. "Who is boy with funny hair?" He asked, making Silver frown as he touched and examined his hair. "He's a friend for moral support." Trixie quickly explained as Mr. Stripes cleared his throat. "Ah, well, aside from my daughter, the entire audience loved your show. In fact, there were some people wished to speak to you." Mr. Stripes informed her, causing her to smile widely. "They want to speak to me?! I'll be right out!" Trixie eagerly replied before she turned to Silver. "Wait here, Silver." Silver watched as Mr. Stripes and Trixie exited backstage through the curtains while he waited for her to return. A little while later, Trixie came back and she looked extremely joyful. "Guess what?! It turns out a few members of the audience are holding special events of their own this week individually. They were so blown away by my magic tricks, they want me to perform!" Trixie happily announced. "Really? That's great, Trixie." Silver congratulated. "Silver, I need you to help me again." Trixie requested, which made Silver get an unsure look on his face. "Trixie, I agreed to help you because this was just a one-time thing. Again, I'm not sure if I'm comfortable using my powers extensively for something like this." Silver admitted with some hesitation. "Silver, please, you have to do this! You heard Mr. Stripes. The audience loves the act we do. In fact, this could be my chance to hit it big!" Trixie pleaded. Silver was conflicted again. He realized that this was such a huge opportunity for Trixie and he didn't want to crush her dreams. He could tell by the look on her face this is what she always wanted. ".....Okay, I'll do it." He said, which was like music to Trixie's ears. "Oh, Silver, you're the best assistant ever!" Trixie said as she gave him another hug, which again, ended awkwardly as she let go. "Ahem, again, can I pay you to pretend that never happened?" So, Silver and Trixie began improving her career. The first night was located in an extremely fancy restaurant crowded with guests. As the light dimmed, a puff of blue smoke appeared on stage. Trixie emerged from it as the audience cheered and she took a bow. Trixie then clapped her hands, revealing a series of fruits in baskets on different tables such as watermelons, muskmelons, apples, and mangos as lights shown on them. Trixie then stuck her hands out as the fruits levitated in the air, much to the awe of the audience. Trixie then 'spun' them around in order to make them form like a small tornado around her. She then 'stopped' them all in front of her before the fruits were sliced into a series of pieces as the audience eagerly looked down. Different slices of fruit were now floating in front of Trixie and she 'levitated,' a series of small bowls in front of her. The fruit pieces were then placed in the bowls, which Trixie handed out to some members of the audience. They clapped out loud as Trixie waved to them and the curtains closed. Backstage, Trixie was feeling really proud of herself as Silver came next to her and she faced him. "Do you hear that?! They love Trixie because how amazingly talented she is!" Trixie exclaimed, causing Silver to slightly raise an eyebrow. "Yeah, they love your talent. With my help." Silver brought up. "Isn't that what I said? Of course, I couldn't do it without your help, Silver. Anyway, I think I'll head out to the audience, grace them with their performer's presence. You can head home if you want." Trixie said as she walked down the steps of the stage to the main audience as Silver looked on. "Man, I hope I haven't gotten myself into anything I'll regret." He said with uncertainty. The night after that, the magic show was to be held in a special theater as the seats quickly packed up. Backstage, Trixie was looking through alongside Silver. "Wow, this is even more people than last time. Time to show them what Trixie can do.." Trixie said as she flipped her hair. "Uh...you mean what I can do?" Silver said as he raised a finger. "Oh, Silver, who cares about the technicalities? Just do your job and everything will run smoothly. " Trixie reminded him as she headed out curtains. Silver had a mildly annoyed look on his face. "Yeah, sure." He grumbled as he heard clapping and cheers for Trixie. On stage, Trixie had a series of different colored blocks in front of her. Using her 'magic', Trixie caused them to rise in the air and doing so, she managed to rearrange them to form different shapes such as a man's stick figure, an arching rainbow, the image of a small bird, a little four legged animal and even in the shape of her trademark symbol, a crescent moon. After that was done, Trixie 'suspended' the blocks mid-air and 'fired' a series of small green energy blast, forming tiny holes in the blocks. She 'did' this for a while with the intent of making a message in them. When it was finished, the blocks turned around in order to reveal that Trixie's name was now engraved on them as the audience praised her loudly. Trixie then snapped her fingers and all of the blocks disappeared in green puffs, as the applause grew louder and the lights dimmed on the stage. "Trixie is killing it out there!" Trixie said backstage. "Looks like the audience enjoyed our show." She heard Silver say as he approached her. "Well, it was like mostly me who they enjoyed." Trixie quickly said making Silver frown a bit. " I mean, I am the face of this whole thing after all." "But's it's my powers though." Silver told her. "They don't need to know that. And it's better if it stays that way. Now if you'll excuse me, Trixie needs to go sign some autographs." Trixie said as she walked by Silver in a snobby manner. As Silver watched her leave, he gave her a slight glare. He wasn't liking where this was going. For the third night, Trixi's show took place in an outside area during the evening, attended by a huge crowd, who seemed quite keen to see her performance. Suddenly, a bright blue light was shown in the center of the stage but Trixie was nowhere to be found. The audience looked a little confused as they looked around, wondering where she could be. "The Great and Powerful Trixie has arrived!" Trixie suddenly said loudly as the crowd looked up to see her flying above them in a green aura. She was met with a loud series of cheers as she descended and waved to her fans. "Witness the magic of Trixie!" She yelled as she put her hands up, causing a series of fireworks to emerge from the center of the stage, impressing the spectators. Before the fireworks could erupt, they stopped as they were surrounded in green auras. Trixie then 'twirled' the fireworks around with her both hands for the audience to see. She even 'made' some of the flow past the head of the crowd as they followed her movements. The fireworks then stopped as Trixie rose them high in the air and she 'clenched' her fist, causing them to explode in a series of small sparkles everywhere, much to the delight of the congregation. Trixie then stuck her hand out again as the little sparks stopped and Trixie then brought them to the center of the stage. They were then arranged in order to form a giant image of her face as she displayed it to the crowd, lighting up the evening. Trixie then clapped her hands as the sparks vanished, making it dark again before another light shown on Trixie as she bowed once more as the audience cheered like crazy. "Thank you, thank you! Trixie is aware of how amazing she is!" She bragged as the spectators started to chant her name. Trixie was really liking this. "Trixie will be coming down to meet her adoring fans!" Trixie said as she walked down to meet the crowd and many people came around and started to ask questions. "How did you get so talented?" One person asked. "Well, that's-" Trixie started to say before she heard Silver calling her name from behind. She turned around to see him coming from the stage as he waved out to her. "Trixie! I just wanted to say, another show well done!" Silver praised as he joined Trixie and the crowd. "Who's he?" A member of the crowd asked. "Oh, don't pay attention to him. He's no one worth remembering." Trixie quickly said as she came in front Silver, much to his chagrin as he frowned. "Hey, I-" Silver began before Trixie cut him off. "Listen, Trixie is super busy dealing with her fanbase. She doesn't have time to deal with you now. So, go bother someone else." Trixie snubbed as Silver's irritation grew. He couldn't believe she was acting like this. After everything he had done to help her. Silver silently but angrily walked to the backstage as Trixie stayed with the crowd, oblivious to his annoyance. A while later, Silver was backstage as he sat down with displeasure written all over his face. Trixie joined him shortly as she seemed excited about something. "You're never going to believe this! In the audience, it turns out, some members of the Canterlot theater of performing magic were there! They offered to book me for a show tomorrow and they said I'll have access to top of the notch equipment! This is the break I've been dreaming of!" Trixie gushed. "Hmmmm." Silver said in a disinterested tone, which Trixie took note of. "What's with you? Didn't you hear the news?" Trixie said in a quizzical tone. Silver sighed loudly and he got up to face Trixie. "Yeah, I did. But what I want to know is, why'd you snub me out back there?" Silver questioned. "Oh, come on, you're not upset over that, are you? I needed to attend to my fans." Trixie dismissed, which wasn't what Silver wanted to hear. "Trixie, I've realized the more you've been getting these gigs, the less you're acknowledging my contribution. You've just been snubbing me out." Silver told her. "Silver, I don't see the big deal, I'm the main star after all." Trixie said in a snobbish tone. "But I'm doing the all the work! You shouldn't let this get to your head." Silver said in an exasperated tone. "Pfft! Don't flatter yourself." Trixie said. "Then how come they people are always cheering my name?" "Because they don't know I'm helping you! I'm the reason for your success! I made you!" Silver yelled. "Urgggh, Trixie doesn't have to deal with this. I'd be nicer if I were you. Otherwise, I might use my talents to remind you of your place." Trixie told him. "What talents?! It's all me!" Silver reminded her. "Bite your tongue! How dare you insult my talent! Stop getting so greedy for attention!" Trixie shot back. "I'm greedy?! That's it! That's the last straw! If you're going to keep treating me like this, then I'm done! I quit! You can do your magic show without me!" Silver declared as he stormed off from the stage. "Fine then! Trixie doesn't need you anyway! Trixie'll show you she can do good just on her own! She's better as a solo act anyway!" Trixie shouted as Silver walked away. The next day, a bit late in the evening, Trixie had already arrived at the site of the Canterlot theater. Behind it, she had been given her own trailer in order to prepare. She had placed her symbol in front of the door to let her presence be know. Trixie was going over her magic tricks as she looked in her box. "Trixie doesn't need Silver. Trixie was doing just fine on her own before he arrived." She grumbled as she dug through her supplies. As she did, Trixie thought back to the first night that she and Silver had performed. She remembered how amazing his help was, the reception from the audience and how grateful she felt towards him. She started to feel somewhat sad as she sighed before she shook her head. "No. Trixie does not miss Silver, even though he was the best assistant she could ask for and maybe she was taking him for granted and she should have treated him better . Trixie is glad he is gone." She insisted, but she was having a hard time believing those words herself as she sighed once more. Trixie then heard a knock on her door, making her lift her head as she turned around. "Could it be...Silver? Not that Trixie cares!" Trixie wondered as she went to the door. When Trixie opened it, she gasped out loud as she formed a shocked look on her face. "What are you doing here?!" In Sonic's house, Silver was lying down on the couch with a deadpan expression on his face in the living room. He had been like that for a while now as he just stared off into space. Suddenly, the door opened and Sonic came in. "Oh, hey, Silver." Sonic greeted as he closed the door. "Aren't you supposed to be somewhere with Trixie today?" "Ha, no way! I quit. She was taking me for granted and acting like she did all the work when it was all me. Who does she think she is?!" Silver told him an angry tone. "She's on her own for this one." "Huh. Sounds rough." Sonic said as he listened in. "You know, sure, Trixie can be a pain sometimes, but she's not all bad when you get to know her." "Whatever. Anyway, she shouldn't have treated me the way she did. Maybe then I'd be helping her for her performance." Silver grumbled. "The performance she's doing......without my powers to make her stand out........" Silver slowly realized as he started to sit up. "In front of an entire crowd......" "Yep." Sonic said nonchalantly. ".....and if I'm not there.....she'll make a fool of herself.........ruining her career." Silver added. "Probably." Sonic agreed. Silver was silent for a while as he stood up on the couch for a while. He was going over what he had just said. "Just go to her already." Sonic told him. Silver quickly rushed out of the door to go find Trixie, leaving a loud slam as he did. Silver flew above Canterlot as he headed towards where the Magic Theatre was. From the top, Silver could see it. He noticed a trailer in the back and recognized Trixie's symbol in front of it. "There." He said as he came down down a few inches from the trailer and began to approach it. Silver slightly knocked on the door. "Trixie? It's me Silver. I wanted to check in on you." Silver said. He heard nothing for a while and he decided to knock again. "Trixie? I know thing didn't end well last time, but I still can't let you embarrass yourself." Silver continued. Still nothing. Silver got confused as he tried knocking harder on the door. As he did, it slightly creaked open. "Trixie?" Silver said as he entered the trailer. As he did, his eyes widened with worry. Inside, the trailer was a mess at it looked there was some kind of struggle as Trixie's equipment was all over the place with her magic attire on the floor. The mirror was cracked and the desk flipped over. In fact, the whole place looked like it had been turned upside down. "Trixie?! Trixie?!" Silver cried as he examined the area. Where could she have gone? A few feet from her trailer, Trixie was bound and gagged as she was held in the arms of Bark, who was in a three seated yellow floating bike known as the Marvelous Queen. Bark was in the left seat, his partner Bean on the right and their leader, Fang in the centre as the bike flew above Canterlot. "It was easy to catch her. It's a good thing Bean actually likes to watch magic tricks. Who would've guessed that it would lead us to find our 'get rich quick' scheme." Fang said as Trixie muffled out some angry words. "Sorry, can't understand you with all that tape on your mouth.Anyway, you never paid us for the last time we were hired by you, so think of this as your way to." Fang smugly told her. "Hey, hey, hey, can you pull a rabbit out of your hat? Make a coin come out of my ear? Cut me in half?" Bean asked enthusiastically as Trixie sighed. "We're here." Fang suddenly said as the Marvelous Queen stopped and floated on top of a large bank in Canterlot from the back where they couldn't be seen. It was the Canterlot national bank. "Bean, ungag her." Fang ordered. "You got it! But after this, you promise to make a rabbit appear, Trixie Wixxie?' Bean said to Trixie as he approached her. He then ripped the piece of tape from her mouth, causing her to wince a bit. She glared at the Hooligans. "Why have you brought Trixie here?!" Trixie screamed. "It's simple. Using your magic powers, you're going to enter the vault and take out all the money in there." Fang explained. "You're insane! Trixie doesn't have any magic powers!" Trixie cried. "Liar, Liar, pants on fire!" Bean taunted. "Trixie's not lying!" She insisted. "Nice try. You're not getting your way out of this one. We've seen videos of your performances and I've seen enough crazy things to know when something's the real deal." Fang said. "Now, you're going to open that vault or else." Fang then displayed his gun, making Trixie gulp in fright. "But it's true. Trixie doesn't have any magic powers! I had help!" Trixie quickly said. "From who?" Fang said skeptically. "From me." The Hooligans heard Silver say as they turned around to see an angry Silver floating in a green aura above them, much to their astonishment while Trixie looked relieved. "Silver!" She exclaimed. "What the? She was telling the truth?!" Fang said with dismay as he looked back and forth at Trixie and then at Silver. " So much for our big score!" "Hand her over or else." Silver said in a serious tone. Fang was in a tough position. He wasn't looking for a fight. Suddenly, he formed a malicious grin. "You want her? Go get her! Bark!" He yelled. Bark then grabbed the frightened Trixie and tossed her out of the Marvelous Queen, much to Silver's horror as he immediately flew down to go after the screaming Trixie as the Hooligans quickly flew away. Trixie shrieked for dear life as she headed for the ground. Before she touched it, she was caught in a green field. She looked up to see Silver gently place her on the ground as she sighed in relief. "Silver! I'm so glad to see you!" Trixie said with joy. "We'll talk later. I gotta go after those guys!" Silver said as he flew after the Hooligans. In the sky, the Hooligans took off. As they did, Fang was driving like crazy. "Why can't anything ever go my way?!" He complained. "Uh, Boss....there's a flying fern coming towards us." Bean told him, which was one of the craziest things he had ever heard Bean say. "What the?' Fang said before he turned around to see a very pissed off Silver on their trail. His eyes lowered. "Bean!" He ordered. "Yeaaaaah!" Bean said with joy as he turned around and began to throw a series of bombs towards Silver. Silver was able to evade them in the air as he flew. He caught three bombs and shot them back towards the Hooligans. As they approached them, Bark used his superior strength to punch them, generating clouds of explosions. Through the clouds, a series of shots tried to hit Silver, who was able to dodge them.The source of them was Fang. "Hold still!" He said through grit teeth as he kept trying to shoot Silver, who evaded each blow as Bean kept tossing bombs as well. "Bean, change of plan!" Fang suddenly said. Bean fired two slightly larger bombs than Silver. Before they could hit him, Fang fired at them, causing them to explode right in front of Silver, stunning as him and blinding his vision as he couldn't see through the dust cloud and he was slightly blow back due to the force of the blast. Through the cloud, the Hooligans charged towards him as Bark socked him right in the face and Silver staggered. He then placed Silver in a tight bear hug as Fang aimed the gun at Silver with a menacing look. "Kid, you're going to regret getting in our way." Fang sneered As he was held by Bark Silver struggled as he surrounded himself in a green aura, releasing himself from Barks grip as Fang fired his gun, causing the former to duck to avoid being shot. Silver was now floating above the Hooligans and using his powers, he stopped them in their tracks as he froze the Marvelous Queen. "Hey, what gives?!" Fang yelled. "Cool, I'm part of a magic act!" Bean said with glee. "I should tell you, you're going to regret threatening my friend!"Silver said as he put his tightened his grip on the Hooligans. "Hey, don't you dare mess with my ride!" Fang shouted. Using his powers, Silver caused the engine of the Marvelous Queen to begin to shake dangerously before he released the Hooligans from his grip, causing them to be sent flying out of control as they went around uncontrollably in the sky as they left behind a giant series of dust clouds. "Wheeeeee!" Bean happily said. "I'll get you for thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Fang yelled. Silver watched as the Hooligans disappeared from his sight before he floated down back to where Trixie was. "You okay?" He asked. "I am now. Thanks to you."Trixie answered. "Good to hear." Silver stated. There was an awkward silence between the two of them before Trixie finally spoke up. "Silver....I'd like to say...I'm really sorry for the way I acted." Trixie blurted out, much to his surprise. "You are?" He replied. "Of course. The only reason I was so Great and Powerful was because of you. You helped me rise up to the fame I wanted. But, I let it all get to my head and I overlooked just how important you really were. Now, I want to change. I want us to be Great and Powerful together." Trixie said, her voice full of remorse. "If you can forgive me that is?" "Trixie, I gotta say, I really appreciate your apology. I came her because I didn't want you to make a fool out of yourself. But after hearing what you said, I'm more than willing to help you out." Silver responded with a smile. "Perfect!" Trixie said as she hugged Silver tightly again. She then quickly let go. "Come on. We can still make it time if we hurry." She told him. Back at the Canterlot Theatre, there was a huge gallery of attendants as they waited patiently for the show to start. Suddenly, a blue smoke explosion happened on stage and it cleared quickly, revealing Trixie. "Come one, come all to the Great and Powerful Trixie's act!" Trixie broadcasted. "But first, Trixie would like to introduce her Great and Powerful assistant, Silver!" A green smoke explosion occurred on the right side of Trixie. From it, Silver emerged towards the spectators and waved towards them. "Without him, Trixie wouldn't be where she is, right now! So tonights show is going to be twice as spectacular!" Trixie promised. "Prepare to be amazed!" Silver declared as he and Trixie began to perform their show.
