Trixie introduced to both her audience and listeners. "This is going to be good," Tempest mocked sarcastically. "You better see and hear to believe it!" Trixie triumphantly jabbed at Tempest's remark, "I present to you the The Great Unicorn Escape!" "This again?" Starlight groaned. "Yes, this again!" Trixie quipped, "And this time, I won't be needing any assistance from your teleportation." Starlight just rolled her eyes and turned to Sunset, "She took forever to get out of those chains on her own." Sunset giggled. A curtain fell in front of Trixie as the rattling of chains could be heard behind the curtain. Then silence, followed by the occasionally grunting. The three remaining unicorns began laughing at what Trixie might be trying to do. They were pretty sure the audience would be doing the same thing. More rattling came from behind the curtain from the studio makeshift stage. "Okay," Trixie groaned, "The Great and Powerful Trixie needs some assistance." The curtain pulled away, revealing a sorrowful Trixie tied precariously in a bundle of chains that looked uncomfortable. That didn't help as Trixie was wearing a blush across the face. "Oh I wish there were televisions in this world," Sunset joked, "The audience would love what they're seeing!" "What's a television?" Tempest asked with curisoity. "Another time," Sunset explained. "Hello? Trixie needs help or she might have some cramps in the morning!" Trixie begged to her colleagues There was a snap and a flash as Sunset took a picture. "Don't you dare!" Trixie said with an even deeper blush. "Sorry, but you've got yourself into this," Sunset smiled wickedly, "There may be no TVs, but at least there're cameras here. I will have this published in the Foal Free Press!" "You wouldn't!" Trixie shouted. "Try us," Starlight beamed triumphantly. "Should we try to help now?" Tempest asked as she watched Trixie's face turn to a darker blue than her coat. "Okay, just stay still," Starlight giggled as she levitated her friend, then performed a teleportation spell to free her friend like last time. Soon everypony was back on the desk with good laughs, except for a certain blue unicorn. "Tomorrow, you will be known as the Great and Humiliated Trixie," Sunset said as she waved the picture in her face. "Please, I have been humiliated enough after Twilight tamed the Ursa Minor," Trixie explained. "Twilight managed to tame an Ursa Minor?!" Tempest asked in surprise and a shiver. "That's right. What's wrong?" Trixie asked. Starlight looked concerned. "Just bad memories," Tempest sighed. "You think you turned bad just because of some starry bear?" Starlight comforted, "I turned bad just because I thought Sunburst having a cutie mark would make me lose friends." They were quick to form a group hug around Tempest. "Pinkie's right," Tempest sighed, "Hugs are good." "And she knows how to relieve them in every occasion," Starlight giggled, "Just avoid her surprise hugs." "Noted," Tempest giggled.
