Chapter 40- Setting Sunset

"The Great and Powerful Trixie invites you to a new challenge I have made for Sunset here," Trixie welcomed, whilst Sunset huffed. She wasn't going to like this.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie is going to see if she can set Sunset off in the most ticked off way she can," Trixie smiled at Sunset, "You can never get mad at me right?" Trixie smiled at Sunset, you made a strained smile back at her.

"Should we stop her?" Tempest asked Starlight in trepidation.

"I think it's best to give Trixie her just desserts," Starlight sighed, "It's Trixie we're talking about. When she has an idea, she goes for it, not thinking what the consequences are."

"Trixie can hear you," Trixie said through clenched teeth, but breathed, "Now then, are you ready Sunset."

"No," Sunset said with hesitance.

"Me neither," Trixie smiled, then went into her best attempt to trigger Sunset off in the best ways she could think of.

"You turned into a raging She-Demon that zombified an entire school to do your bidding in an attempt to invade Equestria," Trixie shouted into Sunset's ear.

"None taken," Sunset smiled with ease, "The amount of times my friends poked fun at that moment has made me gotten used to the past." However, Trixie wasn't done just yet.

"Painting is for old creatures who sit in retirement. Your anger issues fits your name, Sunset Shimmer. I should call you Sunset Rager instead sometime. You're not that athletic and you keep on collapsing at Rainbow Dash's workouts."

As Trixie kept on teasing Sunset more and more, her eyes began to develop into a nasty twitch.

"Should we step in now?" Tempest asked Starlight, now with worry on her face.

"As I said, Trixie goes head into things sometimes, thinking the Great and Powerful Trixie can handle it. I think it's best to see where this will go," Starlight waved a hoof as she, somehow, managed to get a bag of popcorn, "Want some?"

"Video games are just something lazy to do when you have no real life," Trixie finished. Starlight spat out her popcorn in shock, whilst Tempest almost fell out of her chair.

"That may have been a bit far," Starlight hummed in contemplation. Sunset's eyes went to pinpricks, and she robotically turned her head to her teaser.

"What did you say about my video games?" Sunset said softly, but with a hint of warning.

"Not loud enough for your ears?" Trixie said, "I said video games are a waste of time that you just sit around playing with."

Sunset's eye gave a much bigger twist, then her horn began to spark.

"First, you had to remind me of what goes on in Pinkie Pie's head. Then you ask me to do eighty painted prints in three days. Finally, you call my video games a waste of time," Sunset's voice rose with each point, "I'll show you who's a waste of time!" Sunset's horn lit up and shot a small laser at Trixie who dodged it.

"This looks more interesting than when Trixie broke my bottles of stored anger, but this time the anger is from an actual pony," Starlight mused as she and Tempest watched the spectacle with bemused looks.

"I have a great real life video game for you!" Sunset called, eyes white with magical rage, "Ten points if I hit your flanks, twenty-five for the body and fifty for the head!"

"Trixie doesn't like that game! Trixie commands you to stop!" Trixie shouted as she ran around the studio.

"The Great and Angry Sunset says never!" Sunset kept firing small lasers at her. Luckily each one was deflected by Starlight with a counter spell. She didn't want to pay for any damages.

"I think it's best for them to keep going until they run out of steam, Trixie from physical exhaustion and Sunset from magical exhaustion," Starlight told Tempest, "Best not to get caught in their crossfire, eh?" Tempest simply nodded.

"We'll be back as soon as things have defused in the room," Tempest said to their listeners, "We'll be back after the break." She then pressed the air button.

"Coffee and donuts? Donut Joe opened a new one just nearby," Tempest asked Starlight.

"I need a lot of sugar and caffeine to over with this," Starlight said, "It's on me, since Trixie is my friend."
