"I-It Hurts!!!"
"What did I tell you about messing with me?! Scram, before I beat you up again!"
The bully ran off like a scared little girl which made the brave girl laugh. She loved being feared by others because she had the power to do whatever she wanted. Her laughter slowly died and she soon began to cry. Even if she had the power she wanted, she had lacked an important thing in life... a friend. She fell down on her knees and cried more. Darkness started to surround her and she covered her ears when she heard whispers and laughter around her, telling her how bad of a person she was.
"No! Please.... stop!" The girl shouted and began to cry so hard when the voices began to get into her mind. She opens her eyes and saw her own evil self laughing at her face. "Doesn't that line sound familiar?" The girl looks around to see the innocent and bad people she had hurt but the most hurtful thing she saw is she was fighting her sister. "Face it, Siren. No one will ever be with you!"
"You're wrong! I have made many friends!" The girl said that her evil self had showed her a lot of happy memories.
"You think they would stick with you forever with someone as violent as you?! Friends come and go! They will soon leave you, Starlight will leave you!" The girl started to cover her ears and whispers to herself that she would be a good person.
"SOMEONE HELP ME!!!"
Aria Blaze woke up with sweat on her forehead while breathing heavily from the nightmare she had. She sat up and looked around to see she was in her messy bedroom. She started to cry and hug her knees together. She had that nightmare again, she couldn't get over the fact that.... well that's the story for another time.
I can't let them know who I am... They will leave me...
The door slammed open and she jumped so high she landed on the ceiling like a cat. "Aria! Did someone break into the house!? I'm armed! I'm going to wreck that thief!?" Starlight shouted at the top of her lungs as she burst through the door with a metal bat. After a couple of seconds of searching the room, she notices that there was no intruder and that Aria is nowhere to be seen.
"Sis? Aria, where are you?" Starlight asked as she began to look in her sister's closet.
"Up here." Starlight looked towards the ceiling as she saw her sister hanging from the ceiling with her hands and feet had gone right through the ceiling wall.
Starlight struggled to not laugh as Aria had a blank look on her face. "So are you going to get me down or you just going to stand there looking like an idiot?"
Starlight simply nodded her head as she slowly walked out of the room. After a few seconds of silence, laughter begins to fill the hallway as Aria lets out a sigh of frustration. She came back with a ladder and used it to get her sister. She pulls Aria out of the ceiling and bear hugs her first, which made her little sister growl.
"Stop it!"
She's like a cat. She did like cats when she was small
They both got off the ladder and went downstairs to cook breakfast. They heard the doorbell ring and Starlight went to the front door to open it, it was revealed Trixie was holding a costume. "Good morning, Star!" Trixie said as they both shared a kiss which made Aria look away.
"What brings you here, Trixie?" Starlight asked.
"I'm having my magic show in the Canterlot Mall. My assistant broke his leg from falling down the library stairs and I don't want to disturb you in your other job, so I am running out of options".
Aria felt horrible for Trixie as she knew just how much each show meant to her. Trixie put her heart and soul into each performance just so she can show everyone that she's more than just the daughter of a famous magician.
Poor Trixe, if only there was a way for me to help her.... Wait a minute, I got an idea!
"Trixie, what time is your show supposed to start?" Aria asked as she walked up to Trixie and Starlight.
Both ladies were confused by Aria's sudden question. "Five pm, but I need to be there by three to get everything set up. Why?"
"Perfect! I'll be right back, so don't leave yet!" Aria responded as she ran back upstairs, leaving both Starlight and Trixie even more confused than before. After a couple of minutes, Trixie was drinking some coffee as Starlight was finishing her breakfast peacefully when all of a sudden a loud cheer came from upstairs as Aria ran back downstairs.
"Trixie, your troubles are over!" Aria said with excitement in her voice.
"What do you mean?" Trixie asked as Aria threw a big smile on her face. "I called both Sunset and Vinyl about your situation and the three of us decided that instead of having fun at the mall, the three of us will be your assistants and in charge of music, well mostly Vinyl on that last part!" Aria said as her excitement grew. Trixie looks at Starlight to see if she approves of this and her girlfriend nods her head. Trixie went up to Aria and hugs her in delight.
"Thank you so much!"
They said to meet at the entrance of the mall. Where are they?
Aria Blaze was leaning against the wall that was beside the entrance. She was listening to music as she waited for her best friends to arrive. She was being looked at by every teenager who was waiting for the mall to open. Girls were whispering how she looked like an emo and other girls were blushing from how cool she looks. Guys were ready to ask her out. Aria was trying to keep her cool when she knew that they were starring at her.
I hope the girls get here soon, otherwise I'll be dealing with some sleazeball trying to ask me out. Aria thought to herself as she began to browse through her phone so that she could listen to music.
Aria stopped searching for the next music she wanted to play, when she saw that one of the songs on her playlist was called "Nightmare" by Avengen Sevenfold. Aria took a deep sigh as she looked at the sky as she began to think about last night's nightmare. She puts her phone in her pocket and continues to think deep.
Why would I have a nightmare about my past like that? I'm at a good place in my life. I made some amazing new friends in a short amount of time and I'm on the cheerleading team now, plus I still talk to my old friends back at the EU... So why?
As Aria continued to think about her nightmare, she didn't see a light shining red blur dashing towards her, until she was tackled to the ground and couldn't move anymore as she felt a tight brace lock into her. She looked at the color of the hair and immediately knew who tackled her.
"S-Su-Sunset!" Aria shouted as she tried to break free from her best friend's grasp.
"Thank you so much for telling us to be Trixie's assistant!!!" Sunset happily yelled which made a commotion and everyone was staring at them, thinking that they were a couple. Aria was aware that everyone started to whisper to each other and tried to break free from Sunset.
"Sunset! Let go! People are watching us!" A familiar laughter was heard and Aria looks up to see Vinyl picturing them multiple times while laughing. She glared at her other best friend and kept struggling. "Help me get Sunset off!" Said Aria with an angry tone. "This is way too funny!" Vinyl replied. Eventually, Vinyl grabs Sunset who still wanted to give Aria a hug. Aria Blaze stood up and brushed off the dust around her body.
"Oh! I forgot to menti-"
"Hi, Aria!" Aria froze when she knew who owned that voice. She saw Fluttershy running towards her direction, smiling and waving at her. She was paralyzed and speechless.
"Fluttershy wanted to come as well to help out. She brought her pet bunny with her for Trixie to use". Vinyl said as she pets Fluttershy's bunny.
"I'm glad Sunset and Vinyl told me about it! I love Trixie's magic shows!" Fluttershy smiled and struck an arrow in Aria's heart and she looked like she was struggling to speak. Sunset began to panic and dragged Vinyl away as Fluttershy was checking on Aria.
"Vinyl, what were you thinking of inviting Fluttershy without telling me!?" Sunset yelled frantically as she shook Vinyl's shoulders. "I thought this trip to the mall would be the perfect opportunity for those two to bond and become closer. What's the big deal about it that you're freaking out for?" Vinyl responded as she removed Sunset's hands off of her.
"The big deal is that I also invi-"
"My dear, are you alright?! What happened?!" Sunset was interrupted as she and Vinyl turned back to see Fleur had dashed towards a frozen Aria and knocked Fluttershy out of the way to check the paralyzed girls. Vinyl looked back at Sunset with an unamused look on her face: "Really? You invited Fleur to join us? You know, Aria is clueless about that girl's feelings for her."
"And you know that Aria is clueless about Fluttershy's feelings for her, which still makes no sense, cuz she has feelings for Fluttershy!" Sunset loudly responded back. "Besides, I didn't invite her, I invi-."
"ME!" Sunset and Vinyl let out a yelp as Pinkie Pie appeared out of nowhere with Coco standing beside her as she happily waved at them. "After she invited me, I invited both Coco and Fleur. I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for the three of us to bond as teammates... But that was obviously a bad idea." Pinkie said sheepishly as the girls looked back to see Aria back to normal as Fluttershy and Fleur were acting well to behave with smiles on their faces, but it was clearly obvious that both girls were ready to slap each other.
"So, Sunset just how did you tell Pinkie about our trip to the mall?" Vinyl asked trying to change the subject as both Sunset and Pinkie's face turned a blight red.
"We exchanged numbers during the cake party yesterday. I figure it would be nice to get to know someone who's besties with Aria." Pinkie sheepishly said as Coco giggled at how her captain was behaving.
"Really now? I'm besties with Aria too and you didn't ask for my number. Are you sure that's the only reason you want to exchange numbers?" Vinyl said with a smirk as Pinkie and Sunset's face became even redder.
"Oh shut it, Vinyl! Besides, how did you tell Fluttershy about this trip?" Sunset shouted as she tried to shake off the huge blush on her face.
Vinyl proudly waves her phone in front of them as her smirk grew bigger. "I have her house number on my contacts, since her parents are former clients of mine. I was their DJ for their anniversary party, so I just figure I call and ask for Fluttershy."
"Did you get her cell number before hanging up?" A voice startled the girls so much that they jumped off a good two feet off the floor as they let out a scream. The girls look to see Aria standing next to them as her eyes were locked on to Vinyl, but no Fleur or Fluttershy in sight.
"A-Aria, w-where's Fluttershy and Fleur?" Coco asked as she tried to regain her breath from being scared into next week.
"I let out a cough and they said something about getting me water and ran off like my life was on the line." Aria responded as she walked up to Vinyl. "So... Did you get her number?" Aria nervously asked as Vinyl took a deep breath to catch her breath as well.
"Sorry girl, it didn't cross my mind since I was still tired of helping out my bro with his gig." Vinyl sadly said that Aria simply placed her hand on her shoulder.
"It's all right V. You need some rest and I can understand that. Besides I'll just ask her myself when I get the chance." Aria reassured her with a smile.
"Speaking of Fluttershy, we better find her and Fleur before something bad happens between them." Coco said as the girls walked through the entrance doors.
"Still not sure why they ran so desperately to get me some water though. It was just a small cough. I'm not going to die from it."Aria said as the girl's face palmed by her statement.
How is it that she's madly in love with one of them and yet she's completely clueless about both of them being in love with her? Pinkie thought of herself as she pulled out her phone.
"By the way, Aria, you were asking about numbers just a few seconds ago. Do you want to have my number, since you're my newest cheerleading member?" Pinkie asked as Coco pulled out her phone as well.
"Do you want mine as well? I will love to have someone new to talk to." Coco happily asked. Aria smiles that she stopped and looks at both Sunset and Vinyl as well. "I'll do you both something even better, let's all exchange numbers! That way, if I'm in the mood for another sleepover you two can join us for the fun of a lifetime!"
Pinkie smiled at this idea as she began to add Vinyl's number first as Coco had a huge blush, she and Sunset grabbed each other's phones to put their respective numbers in.
Aria looked on and put a smile on her face, as she began to put in her number in Coco's phone first. This trip to the mall hasn't even started officially and already, I'm enjoying myself. This will be a incredible day! Aria thought of herself as she began to put her number in Pinkie's phone.
Once the girls were all done exchanging each other's numbers, they continue to look for a Fluttershy and Fleur, so they can enjoy the rest of their day before the magic show. They all saw Fluttershy and Fleur were glaring at each other with a friendly smile on their faces. Aria stood in front of them in confusion while the others were breaking Fleur and Fluttershy apart before they did anything violent. Sunset drags the both of them by the collar of their shirts to have a word with them and Aria is still confused with what was happening. Sunset stops in front of the fountain and looks at Fleur and Fluttershy.
“Look, we’re all here so that we would help Ms. Trixie’s magic show since she’s the girlfriend of Aria’s sister. You girls need to be in your best behaviour just today. When the show’s over, you both can glare at each other, but for now, be here for Aria”. The three of them looked at the direction of Aria, who was talking to Pinkie.
Fluttershy sighed and looks at Fleur with a serious expression. “We both hate each other, but Sunset’s right, Aria needs us and our rivalry is going to get in the way. I will never forgive myself when we make her cry”. Fleur could feel her guilt building up around her body and said “I agree with you... for now. My beloved needs us”.
“What did you say?!” Fluttershy shouted and realize that let her anger get the best of her. She sighs and looks at Sunset who was looking both of them with an angry expression. “This is for Aria”. Sunset said. She left the both of them so she could join her best friend. Fluttershy and Fleur followed as well.
“Trust me. Oh! Hi Sunset. What did you tell Fleur and Fluttershy?” Aria asked.
“I just told them the schedule, that’s all”. Sunset replied and Vinyl looks at her in confusion. “But I told Fluttershy at the time of the show”. Sunset glared at Vinyl and the DJ understood what was happening.
“Let’s go shopping!” Pinkie said and started to skip towards the direction of the clothing store.
The girls giggled and followed her. Sunset loved how energetic and cheery Pinkie was and frowned when they thought of asking her out. She didn’t want to get hurt again. Her first relationship was the reason why she didn’t know the meaning of love. Aria noticed this and looked away, remembering her encounter with her best friend’s ex yesterday. “We’re going to buy some clothes for you, Aria!” Pinkie said as she stops in front of the store. Aria started to feel pale when she clearly sees that the store is for rich people.
“It-It’s okay um... I-I don’t think I need new clothes this month”. Aria said that Pinkie grabbed her hand and started to drag Aria inside the store “Nonsense. I have a best friend who works here and her boss would always give me clothes for free”.
“There’s a problem. I am not friends with your best friend. I don’t need new clothes”. They stop in front of a girl with indigo hair, black long sleeve shirt, pink skirt, and pink heels. Aria blushed a little of how beautiful the girl was but of course, Fluttershy will always be the most beautiful girl on Aria’s list.
“Hi Rarity!”.
“Hello Pinkie, and you must be Aria Blaze. Fluttershy wouldn’t stop talking about how cool and cute you are. I have never seen her happy than getting Angel”. Rarity chuckles and Aria blushes dark red. She didn’t know that her crush would talk about her. “Sh-She does?” Aria asked as she shyly looks away with a small smile on her face.
"Of course she does, darling! In fact, she told me th-" Rarity stopped her when she noticed Fluttershy was waving both her hands and shaking her head frantically, unbeknownst to the other girls.
"Tell you what?" Aria asked in confused, unsure why Rarity would stop there so mid-sentence.
"That you ugh... Are you a great runner! Yes, that's it, a runner!" Rarity said desperately as Fluttershy let out a sigh of relief.
Aria was confused about this for a moment, then she recalled that Fluttershy was watching her when she was chasing down the bus on her first day of school.
"Yeah, that's kinda true. I'm into parkour, so I need to keep my agility up, otherwise I'm just going to hurt myself trying to do a simple leap over a bench." Aria said as Rarity grabbed her hand.
"And none of us want to see you get hurt, darling. Now, why don't we go to the back and get your measurements taken and you girls browse around to do some shopping of your own, we'll be back." Rarity said as she dragged Aria to the back room.
As the girls began to split up and look to see if there are any clothes that interest them, Fleur however made a beeline for the back room door with a smirk on her face.
An opportunity to learn more about my beloved's body is something that I cannot pass up and if I am blessed, maybe Miss Rarity will have her take her clothes off Fleur thought to herself with a blush appearing on her face.
However, before she can even reach halfway to her destination, she is suddenly grabbed by both Pinkie and Coco and they dragged her away. "Wait!? Let me go, I was just looking for the bathroom!?" Fleur said as she tries desperately to escape from their grip.
"Sorry Fleur but Aria needs some privacy and you must learn to respect that." Coco said as she tightened her grip.
"Yeah silly, besides you wouldn't want to make Aria feel uncomfortable by making her think that you're a stalker now, would you?" Pinkie ask that Fleur's blush became even redder.
"I am NOT a stalker!" Fleur shouted as the girls got her to the other side of the store, where they can keep an eye on her.
Fluttershy, Sunset, and Vinyl couldn't help themselves, but to laugh at Fleur being literally sent to the corner, after being stopped dead in her tracks from sneaking off as they continue to browse through the clothes and accessories.
Fluttershy was humming to herself as she was looking through the necklaces on display. Just before she moved on to the next display, a special necklace caught her attention. It was a blue clear, crystal-like gem in the shape of a raindrop and in the middle of it was a small purple flame inside (not an actual flame).
This would be perfect for Aria. It would go wonderfully with that pendant she always wears. Fluttershy thought of herself as she looked to see how much it cost, only to be in shock at what she saw.
Five hundred fifty dollars!? I don't have that kind of money on me right now! Of all times, I had to leave my card behind, it had to be today! Fluttershy let out a moan of frustration as she put her head down.
A few minutes of waiting for the return of Aria and Rarity, they both came back and the girls were in awe when they saw Aria’s new outfit. She was wearing a teal color rip jacket, white shirt with a little bit of purple, dark pink pants with a belt that has a star in the middle, and dark pink heeled booths. Rarity even styled Aria’s hair. She has pigtailed hair and her bangs weren’t covering her left eye. Aria shyly looks away and rubs her arm. “I look ridiculous, am I?”
“Trust me, darling, when I say that everyone here loves your new look”. Aria blushes a little and she was pulled in a hug by Pinkie “YOU LOOK SO CUTE!”
“I am?”
“My dear, you look absolutely stunning. It really suits you”. Fleur said that this made Aria smile. Fluttershy glared at Fleur with pure hatred but she remembered her agreement with Sunset so she calmed down by inhaling and exhaling. When she was finished, she looked at Aria and smiled like an angel which struck Aria’s heart with an imaginary arrow. “You look really beautiful”. Said Fluttershy with a sweet tone and Aria has this massive blush on her face.
“Th-Th-Thank you, Fluttershy. That’s really nice for you to say”. Aria said. The girls, except for Fleur, giggled because of Fluttershy and Aria would make a great couple.
“You two would make a great couple”. Coco blurted and covers her mouth that she forgotten that Fleur was here. Aria and Fluttershy blushed really dark while the girls looked at Coco in shock and signalling that she is going to die in Fleur’s wrath. Sunset puts her hand on Coco’s shoulder and looks at Fleur who was ready to explode any second. Coco blushes a lot and looks away shyly when her crush had touched her shoulder. “They do”. Said Fleur with a fake sweet smile that was visible to everyone in the store except for Aria and Fluttershy, who were still looking at each other with smiles on their faces.
I can't wait for that to happen
Couple, huh? I like the sound of that
After leaving Rarity's store to get a bite to eat & to do some window shopping, the girls were now in the crowd waiting for the Trixie's show to start as Trixie was at the DJ booth checking to make sure everything was ready to go with her playlist was blasting in the background.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I can't believe this is happening! I'm about to be on stage with Trixie as her assistant! I'm so excited!" Sunset said she was jumping up and down in pure joy as she and Aria were backstage, waiting for Trixie to finish putting her outfit as Aria giggled at Sunset.
"Yeah, I know how you feel. I remember my first time as her assistant, I was so excited that I almost fell off the stage, cuz I kept walking backwards when I was pulling her endless handkerchief out of her sleeve." Aria said with a laugh as she placed the bunny ears on her head.
The outfits she and Sunset were wearing had a "Las Vegas" bunny theme as it consisted of a leather vest with a bustier worn under the vest, a miniskirt with a sheer fabric slip, garter belt stockings, high heels with bows, a pair of gloves, a collar with a bow tie, and a headband with a pair of rabbit ears. As Sunset was wearing a red version and Aria was in a purple one, where instead of the bowtie, her pendant took its place
I've always loved wearing this outfit, whenever I get to be Trixie's assistant. I seriously need to ask her if I can have a copy of this or better yet, if I can keep this one Aria thought to herself as her face suddenly became a blight red.
I wonder how Fluttershy will react to me wearing this. Especially if we're alone in a ro- NO! Bad Aria! Now's not the time for dirty thoughts! You're here for Trixie! Aria desperately shook those thoughts out of her head. Before she could check to make sure she wasn't bleeding from the nose, she was suddenly yanked by Sunset as she was held in place by Sunset's arm on her waist.
"Bunny selfie!" Sunset yelled as she held her phone in front of them to take the shot. Aria smiled as she and Sunset put their heads together as Sunset took the photo. Once the flash went off, the girls looked at the photo to see how it turned out, but were confused and shocked at what they were. Instead of the girls in the photo, actual bunnies took their places instead.
"W-What?! Did I leave a filter on or something?!" Sunset said. She was checking her settings on the camera app when they heard a laugh from behind as they turned to see Trixie walk towards her wand, and was wearing a big cape that hid her outfit
"Rule one about being a magician's assistant. Never take a selfie when the magician isn't present." Trixie said with a smirk as Aria raised an eyebrow.
"I thought rule one was never revealed in the magician's secrets?" Aria asked Trixie, who shrugged at her question.
"Eh, the rule book changes every year." Trixie answered as she tapped Sunset's phone. Sunset looked at her phone and was in complete shock again as the bunnies were gone as she and Aria were back in the photo.
Sunset tried to speak to get an answer, but Trixie placed her finger on her lips, knowing what Sunset was gonna ask. "A magician's secret, sweetie." Trixie said with a wink.
"So are you almost ready to start the show, my little bunnies?" Trixie asked as she looked through the curtain to take a quick peek at the crowd. While Sunset nodded her head with determination in her eyes, Aria answered back with a question of her own.
"I'm ready Trix, but speaking of bunnies, where's Fluttershy's pet bunny?" Trixie smirked as she took out her top hat.
"Come on Aria, you of all people should know the answer to that question already." Trixie answered as she tapped her hat with her wand. The hat began to shake for a few seconds, before Fluttershy's bunny popped its head out of the hat.
After a few seconds, the bunny jumped out and landed in front of them, when all of a sudden a black bunny appeared out of a hat, before it failed to jump out of the hat. Then a grey bunny appeared out of a hat, then a brown bunny, then a blonde bunny, and finally an orange bunny jumped out, looking at the girls with their cute eyes. Sunset had her jaw nearly on the floor as her eyes were ready to pop out of her skull, wow Aria let out a hardy laugh.
"You think I learned by now not to ask silly questions related to magic around you," Aria said as she closed Sunset's jaw shut.
"It's alright, my future sister-in-law. I always love when you ask those kinds of questions, cuz' that way I could just show off." Trixie responded as she placed her hat on the floor. The bunnies stared at the hat for a bit, before jumping back in one by one. The magician puts her hat back on and stares at the curtain that was in front of her and whispers to herself with confidence "It's show time". Vinyl Scratch gave them all a thumbs up before leaving the backstage and people cheered when the show is starting.
"Wassup, Canterlot?!" Vinyl shouted and the crowd went wild which made everyone in the backstage, really happy. She went to her equipment and looked at the crowd and asked with excitement "Are you ready to meet the most famous magician?!" The cheers from the crowd got even wilder as smoke began to fill the stage. "Then put your hands together for the great and powerful, Trixie Lulamoon!!!"
The smoke was blown away to reveal Trixie standing in the middle of our stage as she held both ends of her cape to reveal her trademark outfit. She smiled as she could see the mall was a little jam packed with people who wanted to see her. This was her dream when she was a little girl and she knew that her father was cheering for her.
"Thank you and welcome to the show! Are you all ready to have your mind blown away like never before?" The crowd responded with a loud cheer.
"Great, before we begin, let's give a nice round of applause to Miss DJ PON-3 for providing today's music!" The crowd again cheered loudly, as Vinyl gave Trixie a thumbs up, then gave the crowd a small bow.
"Next, let me introduce you to my two special assistance!" Trixie said as she waves her one in the air, before pointing it to the stage just a few feet away from her. A small boom was heard as a cloud of smoke filled the spot she pointed as both Aria and Sunset suddenly appeared on stage. Both of them did their own post and the crowd cheered really happily.
"Enjoy the show as the Great and Powerful, Trixie will blow your minds away with her magic!" Trixie said as she starts her first act. "For my first act, I will attempt to swallow an 18 inch sword without hurting my throat!" The crowd gasped in horror and silence was filled around the mall. "My lovely assistants?" Sunset and Aria pulls out the sword from the chest and walks over to Trixie to give it to her. Trixie grabs it and looks at it for a second before raising it up to attempt the trick.
The tension was building with each inch of the sword going into her mouth, to the point where Vinyl had her hands above her head, scared that she might accidentally press a button and severely hurt Trixie or worse. She sat down on the stage floor, shaking a little.
I swear, no matter how many times me and Starlight have seen Trixie do this, it never gets easier to watch Aria taught herself as she continues to watch Trixie have the sword inside her mouth. Finally, after a couple more seconds, Trixie had swallowed the sword completely whole as the handle was sticking out of her mouth.
The crowd was nervous that the trick might fail because they have seen some magicians sent to the hospital for this. After a couple of seconds, Trixie grabbed the handle and slowly began to pull out the sword. Instead of the sword coming out it was a trail of colored handkerchiefs. The crowd were amazed that they weren't expecting that to happen. They all clapped and cheered for Trixie Lulamoon as she finished her first trick. She bows and signals her assistants to put the sword back to the chest.
As the show went on, Trixie continued to wow the audience with her tricks and spells. From levitating a poor and unsuspecting Sunset off the ground, turning a stack of cards into an accordion, placing a little stuff alligator doll into her hat, which she then turned into a real life baby gator and much to the shock and confusion of everyone, it had jumped off stage and made a beeline to Pinkie Pie, then hid inside of her hair.
After insisting Trixie that it'll be okay for the little gator to stay in her hair, Trixie then tapped her hat as Fluttershy's bunny and its new friends popped out to perform some tricks, like jumping through a hoop and making a pyramid as Fluttershy couldn't contain her excitement to see her pet being on stage. Aria looked at Fluttershy, who was watching her bunny be in the show like she was a proud mother. She smiled and continues to pat Sunset's back to calm her down after she was being levitated from the ground.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we're nearing the end of the show, so it's time for the main event!" Trixie said as she placed her hat on the floor, letting the bunnies know that their time was done. Fluttershy's bunny went towards her and both of them shared a hug.
"My final trick is one of the most dangerous stunts that only a few magicians have pulled off over the years. People of Canterlot, I of course talk about being placed inside a water tank in a straight jacket!" Trixie said as she picked up her hat, while the crowd gasped in shock. The curtains opened to reveal a human sized water tank and a dramatic music was played by Vinyl who was shocked as well. Aria and Sunset did the sign of the cross and prayed that Trixie would be still alive from this trick. Starlight's jaw drops and almost drops her bag when she saw her girlfriend attempting the most dangerous stunt.
IS SHE CRAZY?!
As Trixie climbed to the top of the tank, she tapped her chest with her wand and in a straight jacket appeared out of nowhere to wrap her tight as she signaled Sunset to come up and close the lid on her as she jumped in the water. After a few seconds of being in the water, Trixie began to squirm around to find a way out of the straight jacket that has everyone watched on what worried looks on their faces.
Minutes went by as Trixie now began to struggle to get out of the straight jacket as she began to spin around in the water as well as banging into each side of the tank wall. With each passing moment of Trixie banging the wall with her shoulders as she moved around frantically it was causing everyone to be on edge, as some of the crowd began to beg for either Sunset or Aria to let her out.
During everyone's panic, they had failed to notice that each triangle, Trixie was spinning around and banging on the wall so much, she was making bubbles fill up the tank. Once the bubbles finally consume the tank, the banging stops from inside as the crowd assume the worst.
Aria and Sunset panic as they rush to the top of the tank to try to open it, even Vinyl rushed in to help. However, before each girl even made it halfway to the top, the bubble slowly began to disappear from the tank, until they were all gone and Trixie was nowhere in sight as the only thing in there was the straight jacket.
Everyone was confused and worried as to what happened to Trixie as Sunset, Vinyl, and Aria began to look at the bottom to see if there was a trap door that she may have escaped from, when suddenly...
" Ta-da! " The magician's voice could be heard loudly from the speakers, scaring everyone as they all turn to see Trixie A-OK and completely dry as she was in the DJ booth holding a microphone.
"Gotcha, didn't I?" Trixie said with a wink as the crowd roared with happiness to see the magician safe and sound.
"Thank you, thank you very much!" Trixie said as she walked back to the stage, giving a bow to the crowd. "By the way, if you're wondering why I'm completely dry and not wet, well..."Trixie lift up one of her sleeves and water suddenly poured out of it for a good few seconds.
"Thank you all so much for coming by, sorry for scaring you and I hope you enjoy the show! Please give a round of applause, one more time to my lovely assistants, Aria and Sunset as well as to DJ Pon-3!" Trixie shouted as the girls waved to the crowd with smiles, relieved to see Trixie was all right.
"My beloved Trixie!!" Trixie and Sunset's eyes winded as they heard a familiar voice that was heard around the mall. They all turned around to see a man in Trixie's age wearing a rich person's outfit, his blonde long hair, and everyone could tell he is a prick.
"Blueblood?! What are you doing here?!" Sunset asked as she went in front of Trixie. Aria was confused with what was happening and why does her best friend know this man?
"Sunset, how wonderful it is to see you out in public. Although, I wish you weren't wearing such an inappropriate clothing.We wouldn't want auntie dearest to find out about this now." Blueblood said with a smug look on his face as Sunset had fear written all over her face at the thought of her mother finding out.
Blueblood loved the scared look on Sunset's face as he gave her a hard pat on her shoulder. "Lucky for you, I am here for something important, so I won't say a word about your outfit." Blueblood said as he pushed her aside she should be in front of Trixie. Before Trixie could say anything, Blueblood suddenly dropped to one knee as he pulled out of her box and held it in front of her as soon as everyone was watching in shock.
"Trixie Lulamoon, call my heart pounds like a beating drum, every time I lay my eyes on you. You constantly make things appear and disappear, but my love for you will never disappear as you leave me speechless in more ways than one. Will you marry me?" Bluebloods asked as he slowly looked up and down at Trixie's body.
The audience couldn't contain their excitement as they were about to see a proposal to happen in front of them, however, Fluttershy and the girls didn't share the crowd's excitement. Off in the corner of the crowd, Starlight was doing her absolute best to not rush up on stage and attack Blueblood.
THAT LITTLE-
Back on stage, while Aria, Sunset, and Vinyl were shocked by his boldness to propose to her as Trixie on the other hand, has a blank expression that was clearly written on her face. She took the ring and looked at it for a moment like she was going to say yes which made Blueblood excited. She puts down the ring on the floor and breaks it with her foot which made Blueblood shock and started to cry. Vinyl went up to Trixie and gave her the mic because she knew that the magician will talk to him in front of the crowd.
"I'm not into you. I don't need fancy or expensive gifts, just so you can impress me. I already committed myself to the one I love. You only care about yourself and your own reputation. You don't get to scare one of my assistants just because she's wearing an inappropriate assistant attire for a magic show. I despise people like you". Trixie said that this made the girls feel really happy for her.
"This ring cost me three million dollars!". Blueblood angrily said as he stood up and glared at Trixie. "You'll pay for this!" Trixie pulls out her magic stick and points it at him which made his clothes disappear, only to reveal his heart boxers. Everyone in the audience laughs while he tries to cover his body. "Wh-What are you doing?!"
"Oh nothing, just simply doing some clothes shopping." Trixie said as she tapped herself with her wand. A bright light surrounded her for a few seconds before it faded away as she was now wearing Blueblood's fancy suit.
"It's a perfect fit, I think I'll keep it. Got to make sure I look good for the love of my life, that's something you'll never understand, you mama's boy." Trixie said as she glared Blueblood.
Blueblood glared back at her as he tried to cover it up. "I could have given you the world and yet you choose to reject me, you'll regret this someday!" Trixie let out a laugh as she couldn't take his word seriously, due to him being in his underwear. She stops for a few seconds and looks at him seriously.
"Your money is the reason I rejected you in the first place! Money changes people for better or worse and clearly you choose to be the worst scumbag ever! What you said is true, you could have given me everything in the world, but there's one thing you can't buy me, happiness and love. And I'm talking about true happiness and love, the kind of happiness where on your worst days, the person that loves you will make everything better with a simple kiss! As well as the kind of love where the dreams you are trying to pursue are about to die, they would be there to pick you up, hold your hand tight, and walk with you to achieve the dream! That is why I rejected you, that is why I would never fall for you, regardless of how much money you have! Because all the things I mention were already given to me by my lover! I wouldn't be a famous magician if it wasn't for her love and encouragement, something you don't have. If I ever see you again, I won't hesitate to put you in your place!"
Starlight could feel her tears coming out of her eyes with a smile on her face and claps with everyone else in the crowd while Blueblood finally have given up and left the stage in his boxers. Trixie went back to the girls and bowed one last time. The magician pulls out a smoke bomb and throws it on the floor and they all disappear.
"That was really awesome of you, Trixie!" Aria said as she puts her stuff on Trixie's car. The others had already left and the magician was putting her equipment inside her car. "He needed to grow up. He doesn't have the right to threaten Sunset, the nerve of him". They heard footsteps coming towards their direction and both of them turned around to see Starlight crying which made Trixie worried.
"Star, what happened? Did someone mess with you at work again? They don't call me powerful for nothing!"
Starlight shook her head as she embraced Trixie with a hug as she snuggled up to Trixie's shoulder and neck. "No, it's just that sometimes I forget just how lucky I am to have you in my life. I was there when you made that speech to that scumbag, I was so touching how emotional and passionate you were about me."
Trixie smiled as she placed a kiss on top of Starlight's head and hugs her back. "But of course Star, you mean the world to me and no one will ever take my love for you away."
Aria smiles at the scene she was watching, she may always tease them or get annoyed by their love antics, but she truly loved seeing them both happy together. "Hey Star, do you mind me asking, how did you get out of work early to see my show? I thought you had a late shift today?" Trixie asked as she and Starlight ended the hug.
"I asked Chrysalis to cover me, so I could sneak off early in exchange that I set up a date between her and Sunburst... now I need to figure out how to convince Sunburst to agree to it." Starlight sheepishly said as she scratched the back of her head.
Aria and Trixie shook their heads in amusement. They've known from Starlight that Chrysalis has always had a thirst for handsome men that have a goody two-shoes personality and sadly, Sunburst fits that description to the bone.
"Welp, I'll start setting up the funeral plans for Sunburst. Do you think he wants the service to be an open or closed casket?" Aria jokes that Trixie let out a laugh.
"Haha, very funny. I'm sure that things will work out fine for the two of them. Besides we're getting off the topic here, so before the Big Show, how was your day with your friends?" Starlight asked as Aria smiled and gave a short version of her day with her friends. Aria was really happy today, especially when she hanged out with her friends and the angel. No one will go to ruin her life, not even her past.
