//------------------------------// // Learning to Play the Triangle // Story: Trixie's Tips // by KingofBronies //------------------------------// Again we join our show mare as she does what she is paid to do! Whatever the hay we want her to of course! The boss was too cheap to replace the stage from last time. So yeah, if you want a description again go read it on the last chapter. Trixie of course was on stage eating a deep fired pinecone on a stick. Why was it on a stick? Because everything taste better when its on a stick, except liquid cuz that would be stupid unless its a popsicle cause its frozen and they rock! “Welcome everypony to a very special episode of Trixie's Tips! Here is your pinecone loving hostess, Trixie!” The announcer said. The audience stomped their hooves. “Every episode is special because you get to see the Great and Powerful Trixie and bask in her majesty!” The unicorn said with her head raised high. “Oh no, but its more special, because of our guest star!” The boss said over his mic. “Trixie was not told of this! And she most certainly does not work with amateurs!” The Great and Powerful one pouted. “Introducing Vinyl Scratch!” The announcer exclaimed. The audience stomped their hooves as Ponyville's DJ got up on stage. “Sup, everypony! Oh and hi Trixie!” “Does Trixie really have to work with this uneducated foal?” Trixie said with resentment. “Aw come on Tricks don’t be like that!” The record spinning unicorn said. “Fine Trixie will work with you, but you will get none of her pinecones! NONE SHE SAYS!” The Concede and Greedy Trixie said as she devoured her fried treat. Vinyl raised an eyebrow. “Ooookay... So what am I here for?” “Well you see, we wanted you to help Trixie play the Triangle.” “How does one play a shape!? The Great and Powerful Trixie demands answers!” The unicorn commanded. “Um, he doesn't mean the shape. He means that metal instrument thing.” She turns her eyes to the overhead mic. “Bro, I don't know if you realize this, but I'm a DJ. Octavia's the instrument expert and I'm the record spinner.” The confused DJ explained. “Oh..” Whispers from somepony else were heard over the mic. “Just go with it..It will be funny anyways.” The boss gets back on the mic. “Well I have been told its a good idea so help her regardless.” A metal instrument shaped like a triangle with an opening at the right corner falls from the ceiling with a metal stick. “Alright I guess im down with that. Yo, Tricks you have any idea what the hay to do with this?” Vinyl asked. The magician taps it cautiously with her hoof like it was some sort of diseased vermin. She eyed it curiously. “Trixie does not think it to be lethal.” She smiled at what seemed to her to be an astounding discovery. The record spinning unicorn face hoofed. “I just told you it was an instrument!” Trixie pouted and held her head up high with her eyes close. “You did not tell Trixie what kind of instrument it was, for all she could know it could have been a instrument of destruction and chaos.” “Fine! It's a musical instrument! Are you happy now?” The DJ groaned. “Trixie would be happier if you were to have a more positive attitude. If anypony should be groaning its Trixie, having to put up with you.” The arrogant unicorn smirked. Rage boiled up in the opposing pony, but being a DJ as long as she had you learn to keep your cool. Which is exactly what she did. “Well, how about one of us lift the triangle and the other one hit it with the stick?” “No, no, the Great and Powerful Trixie has a far better plan! One of us will hit the triangle while the other one holds it. Trixie knows sometimes she even amazes herself.” Trixie smiled looking at the unicorn who was twitching under her shades. Vinyl lifted up the triangle with her magic and then Trixie hit it with the levitated stick. It made a piercing noise that echoed through the crowd. The crowd began cheering and stomping their hooves at what they heard. “That was lame..” The shades wearing mare sighed. “Trixie agrees. Trixie demands a more Great and possibly more Powerful instrument next time!” The showmare sighed in disappointment. “Hmmmm..I'll be right back!” The white unicorn smirked as she trotted off stage. Several moments later... The shades wearing mare returned with a huge smirk levitating what looked to be a remote with a button. “Umm..What are you going to do with that?” The boss asked sounding a bit nervous. “Yes the Great and Powerful Trixie demands to know!” The cape mare commanded. She got on stage pointing her horn close to the button. “Oh something I borrow..” She presses the button when two large amps crash through the ceiling. She connected the amps some how to the triangle. “Let's make some noise!” Trixie blinked knowing something epic was about to happen. The white unicorn struck the charged triangle with the metal stick creating a deafening noise that caused the entire ground to shake beneath them, followed by an explosion! The stage as well as the studio was destroyed but, everypony was ok so it was all cool. “That was AWESOME!!” The DJ exclaimed hopping out of the debris. Trixie rose from the wreck. “Well, you could almost say...” She levitates a part of sunglasses that she got from Celestia knows where and begins to put them on. “That we brought the house down!” YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!(so bad!) The announcer rises from the fallen studio. “Well we are going to need a new stage,but I must say that was kinda cool. We will see you on the next exciting addition of Trixie's Tips!” Then he collapses. The audience stomped their hooves and cheered. The boss gets up. “Ratings! YES! RATINGS! We can afford more than a new stage!” Trixie smirked and pulls out a pinecone and cleans it. “Trixie was wrong about you, Record Spinner. Perhaps you will make a good apprentice.” “Sorry Tricks, but I'm a solo DJ!” She straps on a rocket pack and blasts off into the sky. Trixie takes a bite of the pinecone and trots off laughing at the ridiculous day she just had. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry this one took so long, but school life and what not.
