//------------------------------// // Trixie On Stage // Story: Princess Twilight’s Yacht Vacation // by Lonely Fanboy48 //------------------------------// Princess Twilight has mixed opinions on some of the people she missed when she was away for so long. Not that she’s sad, but when it comes to her free time on the cruises, she at least needed to be occupied. Luckily for her, Sunset always wanted to hang out with her and she found the best place for it. Sunset and Human Twilight guide the Princess Of Friendship in the hallway that leads to the theater. “I can’t believe this cruise has a theater.” Princess Twilight commented. “You should understand that this world’s idea of cruise can add more, thanks to technology.” Her human counterpart replied with a smile. “And the fact the theater is the size of an auditorium in a middle school.” Sunset added. “I don’t know, I guess technology can do anything the more I think about it.” Princess Twilight scratched on her head. “Didn’t you told me once that you had a lab before you got your castle?” Sunset asked. The princess rolled her eyes while also making an awkward look. “Well...let’s just say, I pick magic spells over science.” This made Human Twilight glare at her due to her love of science. “What did you say!?” “I just didn’t want other ponies like Pinkie Pie to get-“ “Alright!” Sunset breaking the two Twilights apart. “I know you can be twins, but even twins don’t agree with each other when it comes to hobbies. Now can we please enjoy our vacation by going to the theater? One of my friends are in there.” The Twilights didn’t like the real opposite of their, related hobbies but at the same time, it was a slip Princess Twilight didn’t mean to hurt her counterpart. But as for Human Twilight, she might have a word with her princess friend later. They made it to the door where the theater is at. Sunset Shimmer opened the door and guide the Twilights in. The theater remained as it was before, but it’s still one of the best places on the cruise. “Oh my goodness!” Princess Twilight looking in her surroundings. “My theaters back at Equestria don’t look this amazing.” “Budgets are always important but years later, you use it on everything for style.” Sunset lid her eyes. They went to the section that is in front of the stage so they can have a closer view. When all three girls took their seats, Princess Twilight wondered what Sunset is talking about. She told her about her friends, but the others expected the two Rainbow Dashes, who are still in bed in their cabin are by the pool. It wasn’t long until the person who’s showing off her talent on stage, noticed Sunset and her friends are here. And it’s none other than the Great and Powerful Trixie. “Hello, my friend Sunset.” Trixie getting off from the stage. Princess Twilight was shocked to see Trixie as Sunset’s friend. The last she met her was back during the Battle of the Bands when she was her enemy in her band. “Nice to meet you Trix.” Sunset shaking Trixie’s hand. “Wait, you’re friends with Trixie?” Princess Twilight asked. “Yeah, I had a hard time when she told me that.” Human Twilight added. “Twilight!” Trixie pulled the princess out of her seat and gave her a hug. “It’s been a long time since I last saw you.” “Since when did you become friends?” The princess looking at Sunset. “Well during the whole Memory Stone situation, I thought she had the stone but she didn’t have it.” Sunset explained. “I don’t want to go in further detail, Trixie has a show to entertain us.” Trixie broke the hug as she poses herself in her pirate costume. “Because I, the Great and Powerful Trixie shall entertain the passengers on the high seas! By practicing my lifting powers.” “Do you mean telekinesis?” Princess Twilight tilted her head. “No offence, but that has nothing to do with your magic tricks.” This caused Trixie to get into Twilight’s face. “LIAR! When I was doing magic tricks, I lifted Spike and my equipment up in the air on the street!” She took out a photo from her pocket and showed it to Twilight. Twilight looked at the image closely with Spike and others from Trixie’s magic trick when she was about to slice the dog in half. She was surprised, but unfortunately it didn’t convince her. “Hey Twilight, are you sure Trixie is telling the-“ When Princess Twilight turned to her counterpart, she was gone and nowhere to be seen in the theater. “Twilight?” “Must’ve went to the bathroom.” Sunset noticed. “Anyway, we shouldn’t waste our time for the bookworm. I’ll prove it and your mind will be blown!” Trixie boasted. Despite feeling confused from her counterpart’s disappearance, Princess Twilight sat back down as so does Sunset. Trixie got back on stage as she prepares for her demonstration. The objects she has around are dolls of different kinds of savage pirates. With Twilight and Sunset paying attention on Trixie, Trixie stretched her arms in the air. She knows her hands need to be ready for this moment to be believe in front of people like Princess Twilight. “If any enemy gets in my way of stealing my treasure, they shall feel the wrath of my gang of ruthless pirates!” Trixie wave her hands to make all the dolls float in the air. It took twenty seconds but nothing happened. “Um Trixie?” Twilight called. “Don’t you think several dolls around you is-“ “DON’T judge my strategy, It’s still a work in progress!” Trixie retorted. Twilight kept her mouth shut as she tries to keep her attention on the magician. After ten more seconds, the pirate dolls slowly float off the ground. Soon they center around Trixie which gave her an snurky grin. Princess Twilight’s jaw dropped while Sunset rolled her eyes. “Sunset, when was the date Trixie did this?” Twilight asked. “Not long ago.” Sunset replied. And to wrap up Trixie’s trick, she has a battle cry for her imaginary enemies when she’s on her own ship. “You mess with my booty! My pirate gang will takeover your boat as the Great and Powerful Captain Trixie will steal your booty!” Then, a water sprinkle on the edges sprayed on Twilight and Sunset much to their surprise. The dolls then landed back on the ground as Trixie is proud of her telekinesis. “Now, how’s that for blowing your mind?” “I guess.” Twilight giggled. “Why did you spray water at us?” Sunset looking at her wet uniform. “I wanted to make my performance 4D. That will be easier for anyone on this boat to feel my experience.” Trixie boasted again as she gets off from the stage. “Now if you excuse me, I’m gonna go to the dining hall and have myself a victory breakfast.” “You should, but just letting you know, 4D will make passengers leave, because they didn’t come here for living the high seas, since they already have.” Trixie pointed at Sunset with her finger. “You haven’t seen the other tricks I can do. 4D is life.” After that statement, she leaves the theater and make her way to the dining hall. And during that time, Human Twilight finally returned in the theater with her eyes lid. “Twilight, you missed Trixie’s telekinesis.” Princess Twilight called. “Why did you had to use the bathroom?” “I didn’t use the bathroom.” She placed her hand on her hip. “I was behind the curtain doing this.” Her finger went up and down with sparkles coming out of her geode. The pirate dolls went back in the air which told the whole story behind Trixie’s magic trick. “So...Trixie never lifted Spike or those dolls?” Princess Twilight witnessing the truth. “Sunset wants me to respect Trixie by going behind her back and using my telekinesis.” She then stopped as the dolls land on the floor. “Am I supposed to feel happy or…” “Twilight.” Sunset wraps her arm around Twilight’s shoulder. “This is our way to show friendship to Trixie. We all know she will never do that for the attention she demands.” “And besides, if she ever finds out, she will go back into being our enemies again.” Human Twilight added. “As much as I like to show off my powers when she’s doing her tricks, she might get revenge if she finds out.” Princess Twilight may never have met Trixie a lot in this world, but since she’s Sunset’s friend now, she should respect her. “Okay, I guess you two have a point. Maybe when I’m in a mood of swimming in the pool, I can ask her if she can join me?” “That will make her like you better.” Sunset replied. “We should go now.” “Yeah, we should relax with sunscreen on.” Human Twilight offered. The three girls leave the theater as the mindset of Princess Twilight’s new thoughts on Trixie begin to grow. Now that she’s knowing most of the people on this boat, she might be able to remember the ones she wants to hang out with and Trixie is one of them.
