//------------------------------// // Chapter 19: Yacht Trip, Part 3 // Story: A Tale of a Loving Sister: Volume 2 // by GoebelTron //------------------------------// The next morning, on an extremely hot day, the girls woke up and brought back some food from the buffet and saw the kids watching TV. “Hey, kids. We got you some pancakes,” Sunset said. The kids came over to the table and sat down and ate their pancakes. After breakfast, the girls put on their swimsuits because they were going to the pool for the afternoon until 3:30 pm. Chase also wanted to spend time with his friends and Sunset. “Sunset, can we play together later?” Chase asked. “I really wanna spend time together.” Sunset kneeled down and gave Chase a hug, “Don’t worry, Chase. We’ll have some time together. I promise they’ll have something for you four to eat because the bar also has food.” Sunset gave Chase a kiss on his forehead, then gave him another hug. After everyone got sunscreen on, they waited until 10:30 am. The kids were coloring pictures while the girls were outside on their balcony getting tanned by the sun. Suddenly, they heard the TV on the screen, so they went to the living room and then saw them watching “Wall-E.” Sunset and the girls suddenly saw the drawings they drew. Chase drew a picture about the girls riding Thomas the Tank Engine, Sam Sam drew a picture about life under the ocean, Melody drew a picture about a unicorn prancing on a rainbow, and Seamus drew the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The girls were surprised that the kids were keeping themselves supervised, but it was time to head down to the pool. “Come along, children,” Rarity said. The kids paused the TV, turned it off, and went with the girls to the pool. When they got to the pool, the girls sat down on their lounge chairs and did some relaxing. “Hey, kids,” Sunset said. “Why don’t you go swimming? We’ll join you after lunch.” The kids nodded, until Rarity took out some sunscreen and then rubbed it onto the kids, then she let them go swim in the pool. When the kids jumped into the pool, Applejack gave them a beach ball, then they played catch with it and made a few laughs. Suddenly, Rainbow Dash came in the pool and decided to get some exercise, then she got out to dry off. Two hours later, it was lunchtime. They ordered some cheeseburgers for lunch. After lunch, the kids went back into the pool, but the girls joined them. They splashed each other and Sunset let Chase ride on her back for fun, until Chase went to play with his friends again, and Starlight was there. She was wearing a pale purplish black hourglass shaped bikini with white stars all over. After they all had a nice swim, they got out of the pool, dried off, then went back to the room to get showered and dressed into their vacation clothes. Meanwhile, Sunset gave the kids their bath and they changed into their vacation clothes, too. Later on, while they were walking around the yacht inside, they saw Trixie passing out flyers for her magic show this evening. Sunset and the others were not surprised at all, but suddenly Trixie saw Chase with his sister and her friends, then went over to him. “Hello, Chase Tucker,” she said. “Don’t you recognize moi? Trixie?” Chase nodded, until Trixie gave him a hug. “Oh, sorry, Sunset,” she said. “I’m just trying to be nice towards one another, but as an offer, I was wondering if you could come to my performance tonight? Pretty please? I’ve been working on some new tricks!” Sunset looked at the poster, then shook her hand, “If Chase gets hurt, I’m coming after you but mercifully, because I’m not that type of girl I was anymore. Understand?” Trixie nodded, then she kneeled down to Chase and gave him a kiss on the cheek and continued to pass out her flyers. Chase felt the kiss Trixie gave him, then blushed. “Man, you got some guts,” Seamus said. After having some spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, they went to the yacht’s main hall and entered the entertainment center and took their seats. Seamus sat next to Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy placed Sam Sam on her lap, Melody sat between Rarity and Pinkie Pie, and Chase sat on Sunset’s lap and had her arms wrapped around his belly for comfort while she patted her hand on his chest. “Chase, remember, she may or may not call on you. So, you’re gonna have to be patient,” Sunset said, then gave Chase a kiss on the cheek and suddenly the lights were dimming. Suddenly, there was smoke everywhere and then Trixie walked out and she was wearing a short dark blue dress/shirt with long sleeves, a short puffy skirt, yellow lining and shoulder pads, light blue stars on the sleeves, purple clips and necklace, purple knee high socks, dark blue heels with gold stars and sky blue bows on them, and a dark blue top hat with a yellow lining and 2 purple feathers. “Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight’s host for this performance is for me, the Great... and Powerful... Tr-r-r-rixie!” Trixie said with rolling “R’s.” Then, the crowd applauded. “So, for my first trick... from inside this jumbo sized black top-hat, I shall pull a small white rabbit out!” Trixie said, then she fixed her sleeves, took out a wand, then circled it around the hat’s brim, and then pulled the rabbit out of there. “BEHOLD, THE RABBIT!” The crowd applauded and cheered, then Trixie gave the rabbit a carrot magically, gave it a small kiss on the forehead, and put it back in her hat for a nap. “Now, for my second trick, I will try to make this little ring...” she extended the ring into six rings as a chain. “Into a chain, and now, I shall pull them apart!” Trixie then mashed the rings into separate rings and tossed them into the air and then caught them with her hat, then the rings disappeared magically. “Voila!” The crowd applauded. “I have to say, this is going pretty well,” Rarity said. “Yep. Totally,” Sunset said, then she looked at Chase. “Are you enjoying the show, honey?” “Mmhmm. I’m starting to like Trixie,” Chase replied. “That’s good,” Sunset said. “Now, I do believe I have a little something in this pocket,” Trixie said, until she pulled out a red hanky. “Now, feast your eyes for once I make this handkerchief into a pattern of colors, I will then make them all disappear!” She then began to make a pattern of multicolored hankies starting with red, yellow, green, and blue, then it repeated one more time. When the pattern was done, she then turned the hankies into a stick and made the stick disappear. Then, the crowd applauded. “For my next trick, I will need a volunteer from the audience... You, the cop!” Trixie pointed as Shining Armor. “Could you come up here, please?” Shining Armor rose from his seat and walked up the stage to Trixie. “Now, before I start, tell us your name,” Trixie said. “Uh... Shining Armor,” he replied. “Well, Mr. Armor,” Trixie said, shuffling her cards. “Since my trick is difficult, you’ll have to pay attention very clearly. First...” She revealed the cards to him. “Pick your card.” Shining Armor then picked his card and it was showing 8 black spades, then he gave it back to Trixie and shuffled the cards again, then she revealed the card he picked. “So, is this your card?” Trixie asked. “Yeah, that’s the one,” Shining Armor replied. Then, the crowd applauded, then Shining Armor sat back down with his wife and kissed his daughter’s cheek. “Now, I will need another volunteer for this trick, which will be a few placement of a few sharp knives in the basket,” Trixie said. Sam Sam came up on stage and tugged her skirt a little. Trixie turned around and looked down at the small boy, “I’m Sam Sam.” Trixie nodded, then shook his little hand. “Alright, Samuel. Now, I’m going to perform a trick which I promise will not be painful, but it might tickle,” Trixie said. “It’s only a magic trick, but if you feel a small pinch, just let me know.” Sam Sam nodded, then Trixie lifted him up and placed him into the basket and closed the lid. Then, Trixie inserted the 10 knives around the basket, until Sam Sam made some cute giggles. Then, when she was done, Trixie removed the lid from the basket and then took the knives off the basket and then Sam Sam stood up and giggled. Trixie lifted him up and held him in her arms and then the crowd applauded. After Sam Sam went back to his seat, Trixie was ready for two more tricks. “Before I end my performance, I shall start with two more tricks,” she said. “First, I will need a volunteer for the cup shuffling trick.” “Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!” Pinkie Pie said. “Yes, you there,” Trixie said. “The pink one, come forth.” Pinkie Pie squeed in excitement, then went on stage, until Rarity placed Melody on her lap and softly stroked her hair, until the little girl pressed her cheek on Rarity’s chest and placed her hand on her breast and curled her arm underneath the other. Rarity comforted Melody, rubbed her shoulders and placed her hand on her hair, then gave her a soft kiss on the temple. “Now, Pinkie Pie, am I right?” Trixie asked. “You silly billy! You know me!” Pinkie Pie said. “I see,” Trixie said. “Now, for this trick, I’m going to place this ball underneath one of these gold cups. You’re task is to guess which of these cups has the ball underneath.” Trixie finished explaining, then she placed the ball underneath the cup in the middle and then she shuffled the cups, then she was finished. Pinkie Pie then thought for a second, then removed the cup on the left, until it revealed the ball, “I FOUND IT! I FOUND IT!” The crowd applauded, then she went back to the seats. “For my final trick, I will make my final volunteer disappear inside this closet and then he or she will come back within 10 seconds,” Trixie said, until she saw Chase sitting on Sunset’s lap. “Would that little boy right there come up on the stage please?” Trixie asked. Chase gulped, then walked up nervously to the stage and stood by Trixie. “Could you tell us your name?” Trixie asked. “I-I’m Chase,” he replied. “Don’t worry, Chase. This will only last for ten seconds each,” Trixie explained. “Now you get into the closet, and I’ll take care of the rest.” Chase nodded and then went into the closet and Trixie shut the door. Trixie then took out her wand and wrapped a huge glittery blue starry blanket over it, “And now, with a three taps of my wand, I shall make this child disappear.” She tapped her wand on the cloaked box three times, then uncovered the box, and then opened the door and then he disappeared. “Now, feast your eyes because once I place this blanket over here, he will suddenly... REAPPEAR!” Trixie exclaimed, until Chase waved. “Hi.” The crowd applauded, then Trixie kneeled down and gave Chase a kiss on the cheek, then Sunset walked over and held him in her arms, then went back to her seat. “And that is all for the thrilling performance from the Great and Powerful Trrrrixie!” She threw a smoke bomb on the ground, then she and her stage props disappeared. After they left the entertainment center, they went back to the room to get ready for bed. “That was totally pizazz!” Seamus said. “Those knives tickled,” Sam Sam said. “I knew that ball was underneath the left one the whole time,” Pinkie Pie said. Sunset looked at Chase, and found out he was blushing and touching the cheek Trixie kissed on, “You know what? I don’t think Trixie’s that bad anymore. She probably just wanted to be very sweet to my little brother and possibly us.” The girls made agreeable comments and then they stopped for milkshakes and walked back to the room. When they were in the room, Sunset tucked the kids into bed and then met with the other girls in their pajamas and then went to bed. While they were sleeping, Chase woke up in sadness and fear, then he began to cry, when Starlight came over. “Chase? Are you okay?” she asked, until she sat on the bed and wrapped him in for a hug and then Chase pressed his cheek on her chest and placed his curled arm underneath his other arm on her breast. Starlight placed Chase on her lap and rocked him slowly back and forth, until he was calm. “Chase, do you want to tell me about your nightmare?” Starlight asked. “I was playing with my friends at the playground... *sniff* but suddenly, we saw a giant dragon attacking us! After we were trapped,... *sob* it ate me!” Chase said sobbing. “Shhhhhh... it’s okay, Chase. You’re fine,” Starlight said, until she came up with an idea. “How about if I sleep with you kids tonight?” Chase nodded, then Starlight stood up and got under the covers, then she let Chase lay towards her belly, and then he held his teddy bear. Starlight wrapped one arm around Chase’s arm and then she went back to sleep.
