Twilight Sparkle was very busy as she coordinated with fellow students in the gym. She made a booth to welcome anyone to sign up for the upcoming talent show that would take place in two weeks' time. Everyone that wanted to participate to show off their skills or astound the crowd that would be attending with a performance of some kind had to come straight to one smartest students in school who signed up to be the coordinator for the Talent Show.
The young Twilight was very happy to manage the talent show. She was always up to use her crazed attention to detail to make sure nothing would go wrong. She understood the rules and overlooked every regulation at least twice. Any chance to help upkeep the school rules and the code it lived by was something for her to be proud to partake in.
Once she had received permission and filed out the proper forms to be the coordinator by, Principal Celestia and the, Vice Principal Luna, Twilight immediately got to work as she took her time to build up her booth with some help from her friends. She was great when it came to coordination, but she lacked the idea on how to build something from the ground up other than noticing where something must go.
Her friends graciously leant her a helping building her booth. Applejacks knowledge of building came in handy. Rainbow Dash's speed helped get all the tools and supplies need with the greatest of haste. Pinkie Pie, and Rarity helped decorate the both to make it look glamorous and uplifting while, Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer worked on creating the sign that read "Talent Show Sign Up".
Twilight could always rely on them to help out. No matter what time of the day be it during or after school. They each were always willing to help each other out be it if was a problem any one of them were having or if it was to help make their school better or on the rare occasion stop a potential disaster.
She often would wonder how could she have possibly been so lucky to receive such fantastic friends? Be it was mere luck or was it fate? Either way she was happy to have them in her life as well as do her part to help with school activities and in this case help sign students up for the show and go over what it is they wish to do for the limited time they had on stage.
The Rules stated that only the maximum time for anyone to be on stage would be three minutes. It would give everyone a fair opportunity and enough time to do what they wanted from playing a musical instrument. Or do a quick performance of any sort.
But to one particular student that was eagerly awaiting in line to sign up for the talent show she had an idea for it that would certainly make a spectacle of the entire show that her name would be on lips of everyone in the school and beyond it. However, to her shock she realized what she wanted to do exceeded the time limit for a performer as she was read the rules by, Twilight Sparkle.
"This is outrageous! I the great and powerful Trixie require at least three more minutes for my performance to end with a grand finale!" She seethed at, Twilight who sat her in her chair on the other side of the booth with her hands under her chin with her elbows on the table.
"I am sorry, Trixie." Twilight apologized as she grabbed the nearby book that had all the rules and regulations of the school talent show opening it up to the page where it clearly said how it can only three minutes in total for a performer to showcase their talent until the next one is allowed on stage. "I understand this is a little troubling for you to understand but these are the rules and they must be followed. I can still sign your name up, but you have to realize you may have to choose something that does not go over the time which you are allowed to have."
Trixie was furious! Twilight was not going to budge in having her have the assorted time she would need for her show. She was always known for being a book worm and would follow rules to the letter. But, Trixie had a trick up her sleeve as she knew that this could happen. She had a way to nudge, Twilight into letting her have a few extra minutes to complete her performance. But for now, she had to play along and confront her about it later.
Trixie sighed making it seem like she understood. "Very well then." Twilight smiled glad to see that, Trixie understood not catching the sly smile she was giving when, Twilight wrote her name on the participation list.
"There you are, Trixie. Your signed on and ready for the Talent Show. Do try to have fun and looking forward to seeing what you do at the show." Twilight smiled as she finished writing down, Trixie's name.
"Thank you, Twilight. May I take to you later when your done here?" Trixie asked getting a nod from, Twilight.
"Of course, Trixie. As I soon as I write down everyone else's names on here and give it to the Principal we can talk back here at the booth." Twilight replied.
"Very good, Twilight." Trixie said turning away from the booth and walked away letting the next student in line sign his name up but what, Twilight didn't catch on was, Trixie's snickering as she had a scheme in mind that would either make, Twilight give her what she wants or for the rest of her time at school would be the most humiliating time of her life.
An hour had passed since, Twilight had finished up with the final student that wished to partake in the Talent Show. She had given the list of student names to the Principal and hurried back to the booth in the gym where, Trixie was waiting for her as she stood near the booth leaning on the side with a big smile on her face.
"Hey, Trixie! You wanted to talk?" Twilight asked.
"Yes. I wanted to…renegotiate on time I desire for my performance." Trixie stated.
Twilight sighed as this was becoming an annoyance. She should have figured that, Trixie was not going to let this go so easily. "Trixie I must tell you once more that its against the rules to extend the time for a performer of the Talent Show. It was put in the rule book for a reason please just find a way to do what you are wanting to do at the allotted time you have."
Trixie shook her head. "No! I will make my performance as exactly as I want and need it to be! You will allow me the extra time I need for it." Trixie demanded.
Twilight was becoming rather angry. "I cannot and will not! That is final, Trixie!" She snapped.
"Oh, I don't think so, Twilight!" Trixie chuckled as she pulled out her cell phone as she pressed onto an app upon the flat screen. Twilight didn't like, Trixie's look as she was opening up something on her phone.
"You see, Twilight there's a lot to be seen when you're just getting through gym class." She chuckled as she held up her phone showing an array of pictures. Twilight adjusted her glasses so she could see better and what she saw made her cheeks go bright red.
Twilight was looking at photos of herself in the middle of changing showing her in bright purple undergarments. There was many of them showing her from front to back near her open locker all the way to the point where she was starting to get into her school uniform.
"Trixie! How dare you take pictures of me in the middle of changing! How could you?!" Twilight shouted at her as, Trixie laughed.
"Oh, Trixie knew that you would not be so easily swayed to give me what I want so I provided a little insurance." She giggled as she playfully shook her phone still with, Twilight undergarment photos showing upon it. Twilight was glad to know no one else was in the gym but her and, Trixie.
"Delete them now!" Twilight demanded.
"Oh, sure. I'll delete them right after I send them out through the school chat app so everyone in the whole school has a chance to see how you look after gym class." Trixie giggled as she flipped through the pictures laughing at each photo making, Twilight even more enraged although she was feeling a great sense of embarrassment at the thought of every student seeing her in her undergarments.
"However, I may just delete them before doing that. If you decide to give me the allotted time, I need for the Talent Show?" Trixie bargained.
Twilight was at an impasse. She couldn't allow, Trixie the extra time as it would break the school rules and she could be accounted for that and ruin her good record but if she didn't do as, Trixie wanted then for the rest of her time at Canterlot High she would be the laughing stock of it.
She was unsure what she should do in this moment. She could not give to the demand but, Trixie was persistent. "I…uh…"
"And to make sure that even if you decide not to allow me the time, I don't think your friends would appreciate it if there were shown around in their own underwear as well." Trixie laughed as she then presented on her phone a long list of photos that showed, Twilight's in the locker room all changing into their clothes all of them in their own underwear some a little more amusing looking than others but, Twilight was shocked to find out that, Trixie had pictures of all of them.
"Trixie! How could you?" Twilight croaked.
"Anything to make sure I get what I want so all may see the great and powerful, Trixie's best performance yet!" Trixie responded with pride standing in a pose showing off herself. "Not to worry. Ill let you think about it. You have till Friday to give me your answer, Twilight. Either a few minutes of extra time or the rest of time in school with you and your friends being underwear models. Your choice." Trixie laughed once more as she walked past, Twilight waving at her twiddling her fingers as she exited out the gym doors.
Twilight was extremely worried about this. Her and her friend's dignity was at stack. She could not possibly bend the rules for, Trixie to have some extra time to play but she couldn't allow both her friends and herself become the laughingstock of the rest of their school term. She immediately texted her friends about the major issue at hand.
Once she had done it, they all responded by back text and all agreed to have a sleepover at, Pinkie Pies house to discuss the issue at hand.
At Pinkie Pie's home all the girls were sitting around in their friend's bedroom and they were all very upset to find that Twilight was being blackmailed and it mattered to all of them as well.
"That wretched little puff smoking, Trixie! She has no class at all to photo us in our most private moments!" Rarity angrily grumbled temporarily thrashing her hair about to where she realized what she had done and gathered a comb and brush to fix it back up.
Sunset Shimmer was very upset to hear this. "I actually considered her of being a friend! But to do this…that almost shadows the deeds I stooped to when I was bad." She growled taking a nearby toy alligator and tossed it into the wall.
"Ill show her what happens when someone takes undies pics of both me and friends!" Rainbow Dash declared cracking her knuckles.
Twilight grabbed her friends arm. "No, Rainbow! Violence is never the answer you know that!" She reprimanded.
"Then what are supposed to do!" Fluttershy exclaimed as she sat near, Pinkie's bed wrapping her arms around her knee's shivering fearfully. "I don't want anyone to see me when I without most of my clothes." She whimpered.
"That's why we need to counter this in a way that, Trixie doesn't see coming. We have to go about this somehow that she will coheres her to change what she plans to do without confrontation as that will only lead down to even more trouble." Twilight explained.
Pinkie Pie who was laying on her bed kicking her feet back and forth decided to speak up. "We need to scare here. Or do something she can simply poof away. We got to do something that's humiliating and maybe a little fun."
Twilight wondered what they could do. It may have to involve magic as, Trixie would not be able to counter anything that was beyond her frail parlor tricks. Suddenly an idea crossed her mind.
"I may have an idea, but I would require going back home and looking over some of my books. Perhaps I might find an answer to our current dilemma." Twilight explained feeling a little bad she will miss the sleepover but there was no time to lose as she and her friends dignity was on the line.
The Girls all nodded in agreement. "Sure thing, Darling. You have a good evening and best of luck in finding what you are seeking." Rarity waved at, Twilight as the rest of the girls waved at her as she immediately left, Pinkies room and exited her house and headed back home to find the solution she hoped she could find.
The Next day at school, Twilight was carrying a book of spells she spent most of the night reading and may have found something that could help answer her and friend's problem. She met with, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash in the hall when most the students were not around during lunch hour.
"I think I may have found a spell. One that could allow an individual to invade the dreams of others and possess the temporary ability to shape the dream as they wish upon the one who's dream, they have invaded." Twilight explained.
Rainbow Dash laughed wickedly. "Oh, yeah! Why don't you put that spell on me, Twilight! Oh…Trixie won't like what I have in mind." Twilight however shook her head.
"I appreciate your enthusiasm, Rainbow but I am afraid we don't want to trauma, Trixie we just need a way to make her change her mind." Twilight told the now frustrated, Rainbow.
"Ah, rats!" She grumbled.
"Pinkie is the best option as she has the best imagination out of all of us. I am certain she may come up something to make, Trixie change her mind." Twilight told the now very excited, Pinkie Pie as she hoped up and down.
"Oh, yes, yes! I will do it, Twilight!" She gleefully accepted as she hugged her friend close. "This will certainly make quite the night for, Trixie when she goes to sleep hehe!"
