Nightmare Spike was walking down the street in Ponyville.  When he passed between two buildings, he heard someone from within the alley who grabbed his attention by throwing a pebble at his head.

"Hey there, wanna see some magic tricks?" the mysterious pony asked.

"I don't have very much time for something like that,"  Nightmare Spike said hastily.

"Oh, come on, surely you could spare a moment for the Great and Powerful Tristan," Tristan said as he emerged from the alley.

"Very well, if you truly must, then I can spare a moment..."  Then under his breath, he added, "Vagrant."

Tristan then proceeded to show Nightmare Spike various magical tricks averaging from the mundane that proved boring at best to interesting ones that showed images of different worlds through a small mirror.  Nightmare Spike was only impressed when he was able to reach his claw through the mirror and grope a woman's breast without being noticed.

"Okay, maybe you aren't such a useless treadfill after all.  Your horn would make a good paperweight and your pelt a nice throw rug."

Hearing this, Tristan became slight nervous and stuttered "Well, that's not all.  I am not really a stallion but actually a mare.  A gender spell I was testing went wrong."

"What were you dong a foolhardy thing like that for?"  Spike asked, crossing his arms.

"Why to check out the stallions. . . the spell will wear off soon enough."

"Well in that case, you will soon make a nice pin cushion."  Spike said with a grin on his face.
