The Great and Powerful Centaur

The Ursa attack

"TRIXIE! TRIXIE! TRIXIE!"

The endless crowds of ponies were chanting my name as I tell fantastic tales of adventures that range from outwitting the most stubborn dragons with my great magic and tricks to besting the rowdiest and foul-smelling diamond dogs by using my powerful wits and reflexes.

Once I was done narrating my chronicles of amazement, the crowd began throwing bouquets roses and other varieties of exotic flora at me as I gracefully bowed. Some were stomping their hooves in a rhythmic pattern. I can see that tiny little purple dragon crying with regret and spouting multiple sincere apologies, which were directed at me but I ignore it for I was too occupied with giving thanks to this wonderful crowd.

"Oh yes, yes, thank you all you've been a wonderful audience," I exclaimed out loud and waved my marvelous cape at my adoring new fans, I could embrace this wonderful feeling forever.

However, the stage and rest of the surroundings suddenly began to quake around me and I could hear loud rumbling occurring. I looked upon the audience to ask what is going on but one by one the ponies spontaneously combusted into black smoke and raised up high in the air, disappearing and leaving me alone.

Before I could get speak out a single word on what was going on, I was immediately awakened and I could feel and hear my stomach growling.

"I knew I should've eaten more than a simple salad... " I grumble to myself as I get out of bed and get ready to go out for a midnight snack. "Maybe I have something... nope, no cooked meals." I miserably groaned. "Great."

I don't wanna cook anything so I decide to head out to eat, I think I saw a bakery on my way into town. I hope they're still open.

I changed out of my pajamas and into some casual attire that I have with me; a plain light purple T-shirt and a light jacket. A little bit after my journey for a midnight snack begins I see and here a whole lot of ponies running right towards me.

Naturally, I reel up on my hind legs cause it scared the crap out of me. What I was not excepting was the ponies to stop and run away from me as I did that. Only for them to remember what they were originally running from when a loud roar can be heard throughout the town and the ponies to run around in circles. After about thirty seconds or so I whistle to get their attention.

"Could someone or somepony please tell me what is going on?" I asked using my stage voice so that way they can all hear me. Every one of them pointed a hoof at the giant bear with a star on its forehead.

"Okay, that's a good reason to panic." After a moment of scheming on what to do in this situation, I finally came up with a rather shoddy plan that I could devise in a few seconds.

"Everypony to that park. I'll distract it while you get to safety," I shouted with the best calm demeanor that I can perform. I know I won't be able to stall for long but if it means saving as many ponies as possible then I don't have much of a choice do I?

Once the last of the ponies has left the vicinity, I launched fireworks that I have left in my trailer to grab that monstrous Ursa's attention. It works a little too well if I do say so myself as now its bloodshot eyes were shooting metaphorical and intimidating daggers towards me.

"HEY! OVER HERE YOU OVERGROWN FUR BALL." I shouted as I galloped away from where the rest of the ponies are. As I run I try a few different tricks to slow the beast down from using some rope to try and tie its paws together. There wasn't enough rope. I made an attempt to summon a storm to drive it away with a fright. Unfortunately, I can only manage to get its tail wet. I'm an amateur stage magician, not a professional weather pegasus. I postponed my efforts to catch my breath only for the Ursa to smack a house and hit me with some rather large chunks of the building.

"Gahh my leg. " I screamed at top of my lungs as I attempted to hobble away from this hostile Ursa. I don't think I can make it far for I was struck from my behind by the big beast paw and sent through the air. this is it this is where I die.

"I'm sorry. Mom... But it looks like I won't make it home and tell you about my first show after all." I said to myself as I flinched, shut my eyes and wait for the Ursa to finish off with what's left of me.

Only for the sound of music to cause me to open them. what I see astounds me. I witness Twilight Sparkle luring the Ursa and persuading it to fall into slumber. And to top it off she grabs this village's water tower container, levitate it towards a barn, I could hear a few moos from cows at the barn, I saw the container was now holding gallons of milk, sealed the container, she gives the container to the Ursa which is used as a baby bottle and while it was distracted, Twilight floated the Ursa back into a nearby forest with a veil of purple magic.

All I could do during that process was stared in awe at what this lavender unicorn was capable of and... Ahhh... struggle to not pass out from the excruciating pain that I am experiencing right now.

"Now, Trixie. I hope you learned your lesson about bragging." I see the dragon from before come up with his eyes closed and arms behind his back, probably feeling like he just found out he won the lottery.

"Open your eyes, you idiot." I coughed out in agony. He seemed to be horrified at either his inappropriate actions against an injured mare or the sight of my injuries. Probably the latter. " Get....me.... to a... hospital please, you imbecile." I wheezed out a few words of help to the dragon before I finally passed out...
