The experience of traveling through the portal was intense. Colors of the rainbow surrounded the screaming magician. Her screams echoing as she fell down, down, down into the depths of another realm, traveling to a world Trixie does not know.
The bag clutched to her chest, holding on for it for dear life. While Trixie's body started to glow magenta red for her transformation, the egg was not glowing of any color, nor undergoing a change.
When it seemed to be an eternity of falling, Trixie finally stopped falling when she landed on solid ground, rolling to a stop.
Trixie groans, seeing stars and wands floating around her head as she sits up. "Anypony got crackers?" She asked incoherently. Woozy from the fall.
She quickly shook her head, placing a hand on the side of it. "Ooh, Starlight failed to mention the headrush."
She went to put her hand on her muzzle to rub it when she realized that it was much shorter and smaller. "What happened to my face??"
Trixie examined her body and noticed that she wasn't a pony anymore. From the lack of horn, her ears have changed shape and moved to the sides of her head, her skin didn't have much fur by the looks of her arms - nearly hairless, no tail and her hooves were different as well, but with shoes on.
Her clothes from the other world remained the same.
"Starlight also failed to mention this." She attempted to use her magic to locate her hat but the magic wasn't working. "Ooh I've been downgraded to a freaking earth pony."
But she clearly wasn't an earth pony.
Trixie then remembered the bag and quickly opened it to check on Spike. She let out a deep exhale of relief, the egg was safe.
Then she frowned. "Uh… did you get bigger??"
The egg and the bag were normal size...it was Trixie that was smaller.
Bbbbbbbrrrriiiiinnnnggg!!!
The sounds of a school bell caused Trixie to jump. Soon students of this realm started to flock out the doors and escape to freedom.
Trixie gulped before getting up on her feet, when lifting the bag, she stumbled to balance. The egg was harder to hold.
"Dude, lay off the gems." She grunted before running off, running past the portal statue and down the sidewalk away from the school.
Running while carrying the egg was proving to be quite difficult, Trixie was quickly sweating profusely from the strain.
"Okay, Trixie needs something to carry you easily." Trixie grunted, looking around the busy street.
The people looked at Trixie with an odd look, eyeing at her strange flashy clothes and struggling to carry the bag
"Oi, look at some pony else." Trixie grunted.
"Weirdo." Someone called her in passing.
Trixie shook her head as she came to an alleyway. She hummed when she saw a beat up old wagon parked right next to a dumpster.
She pondered for a moment before walking over to the wagon, placed the bag in it before grabbing the handle. It creaked and squeaked when she began pulling it. "Ah, this will work perfectly."
The dumpster began making noises, bottles and glass breaking inside.
"Hey, who's out there?!" A young voice called.
Trixie yelped and started running off again, dragging the wagon behind her.
At the same time, Scarlet stuck her head out of the dumpster, she looked dirtier and hair unruly, but she was okay. And mad.
"That's my wagon!" Scarlet shouted at the strange woman.
When no one stopped Trixie, the ten year old growled before pulling herself out of the dumpster. Her batty backpack filled with what half eaten food and items she found spilled out on the ground. She wore a black hoodie and jeans.
Scarlet took a moment to zip her bag, throw her hood up to hide her hair and took off after the wagon she claimed days ago.
"That's mine!" Scarlet yells at Trixie as she runs full speed.
"Beat it, pipsqueak, I need it!" Trixie shouts back when she realizes that she was being tagged.
But the little girl was not giving up.
Trixie ran past an ice cream shop.
This world's Luna just walked out, she looked a bit more matured, but still held elegance and beauty. Her hair in a side ponytail and in a blue dress and sunglasses on, she had a red ice pop in her hand, she used her free hand to hold the door opened.
"Okay boys." She called.
Twin boys Galaxy and Comet walked out with their ice cream cones. Both boys were a rich blue color with jet black hair. Comet wore a dark jacket with a white shirt while Galaxy wore a more western attire. Galaxy had chocolate while Comet had vanilla.
Comet glared at his twin. "You look ridiculous."
"You're just jealous that I look cooler than you." Galaxy grinned, fixing his black cowboy hat.
"You play that game too much." He responded while licking his treat.
"Whatev-gah!"
Before Galaxy could finish speaking, Scarlet ran the boy over. His ice cream flew out of his hand, staining Comet's shirt. Boys and Luna let out a gasp of surprise.
"Sorry!!" Scarlet shouted at them as she kept on running.
While Trixie was running, she turned a corner to cut through a back alley, she collided onto someone.
The alleyway seemed to echo the girls' shout upon contact.
"Oi, watch where you're going!"
Trixie blinked, getting her barrings together and looked to who she ran into.
Herself. Trixie ran into this world's Trixie. However, her outfit was much more appropriate for showbiz. It wasn't too tacky, with colors light and lavender with a yellow accent on the dress. Her makeup was alluring and mystified, her getup also looked like she had more money than Equestrian Trixie.
While pony Trixie looked like she just got hers from a costume shop.
Human Trixie scrunched up her nose when seeing Pony Trixie. "What's this? An impersonator of me?"
"Impersonator? If anypony who is an impersonator, it's you. I am the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Pony Trixie stood with a flashy pose.
Human Trixie rolled her eyes. "Ugh, I haven't heard that since High school." She stood up, dusting her dress off. "listen, I don't know where you get that but get that trash out of my sight. I got a show."
" A show? Puh-lease, you look like you can't perform one trick." Pony Trixie grunted.
Human Trixie points at a poster on a wall behind Pony Trixie. PT turned around and blinked.
CANTERLOT THEATER PRESENTS MADAM TRIXIE OF THE MYSTIC ARTS!
With HT printed on the poster. The Headliner.
"The poster speaks. Now let the real magician go do her show." HT went to move.
PT snarled. "Trixie is the only real magician. You-you changeling!"
HT turned and looked at PT. " You're even talking like me when I was school." She glared at PT. "I am the real Trixie."
" No I am!"
One thing led to another and both Trixies began duking it out.
"I'm the real Trixie!"
"No I am, you charlatan!"
While both of them were fighting who is the real Trixie, Scarlet managed to catch up. Drenched in sweat, panting from running, legs turned to jelly, her hair clinging to her face.
She watched the two women fighting. "Huh, must be a twin day." Scarlet noted, thinking the girls were twins.
Scarlet looked around and saw her red wagon with PT's bag resting inside. She chewed the inside of her cheeks and grunted.
"You take my wagon, I'm taking your bag."
Using the fight as a distraction, Scarlet retrieved her stolen wagon and pulled away. She had trouble pulling it due to the weight of the bag, but since it was on wheels, she was able to pull it away from the alley without the girls noticing.
And by the time the girls exhausted themselves from the brutal fight, Trixie realizes that the wagon was gone.
Spike was long gone.
Trixie gasped out loud, hands on her face. "OH NO!!"
***
Back in Equestria, Twilight and her guards came into the study. The princess gasped in horror to find the portal was activated.
"No…. No no no." She whispered softly.
"Princess?" Gallus looked to the princess as she walked up to the portal.
Her horn glowed as a special book levitated to her with an ink and quill.
"Princess, we'll find Spike. That clown can't be too far." Gallus said.
" Trixie and Spike are not here. They're through this portal." Twilight said as she quickly opened the book to an empty page.
"I'll have my guys go in and-"
"No, Gallus." Twilight said as she began writing in it. "You don't know the land. I barely know anything of this world, I have visited it before but I know nothing about it to know where to look. I know one pony who does." Twilight whimpered. "Only she can do it." Twilight hoped.
She can't leave Canterlot, her friends cannot do it on her behalf.
The only person that can find Trixie and Spike is Sunset Shimmer.
