It wasn't the first time Trixie had been presented to this travesty of entertainment, but it seemed almost new to her as she was placed on display under those blaring lights. The Great Trixie... ...was evicted from Twilight's lawn... "Honestly we're going back on that? The great and powerful Trixie will say it not a single time more, I do not live on her lawn!" Yeah... ...Not anymore... "I never once did!" The Great and Powerful Trixie... ...passed Magic Kindergarten... "That goes without saying, doesn't it?" ...ONLY Magic Kindergarten... "The Great and Powerful Trixie has graduated from the highest Magic Academies in the world!" Really...? "Of course!" ...Blank... ...The papers... Suddenly a screen flickered on behind Trixie to reveal a nearly bleach white image save for the listings of names and numbers in black. Trixie... ...Flunked out of three academies... ...Two private schools... ...And was kicked out of three public schools... "What!? Falsified! These documents are falsified I tell you!" Oh please... ...The the Royal Canterlot Archives would lie... ...It also says she was a bed wetter... Really...? "I was never a bed wetter! The Great and Powerful Trixie would never soil her sheets!" You're right... ...You weren't a bed wetter... "Thank you for being honest at least once--" According to this you still are a bed wetter... "Slander against my good name will not be tolerated I tell you!" See...? Now she's telling bigger lies than us... She says she has a good name... "Why you low--" The Great and Powerful Maxie Awesome Super Terrific Uber Trixie... ...is a very fast runner... "We-- Oh... Well thank you... The Great and--" So fast... ...We're going let her show off by releasing an Ursa Minor on her right now... "...I'm sorry... The Great and Powerful Trixie must have heard you wrong. She could've sworn you just said you were to release a--" as Trixie stammered in a confusion, the floor of the stage began to rumble and shutter as the twinkling of an Ursa's coat appeared out through the darkness behind Trixie. ...You should really start running now... Trixie gave a simple glance back before looking up into the lights above her. "...I hate you..." with a puff of smoke engulfing her, Trixie made a mad dash off of the stage, her new Ursa friend following close behind, teeth at the ready. Now you know... Trixie... "I shall not become a great and powerful bowel movement!" could be heard screamed from off in the backstage with the accompanying growl of a captured beast.
