When a Door Closes a New One Opens

“Come on Mom, you can do it.” Spike said.

“Okay here it goes.” I said.

As I concentrated carefully to create a mustache on Spike. The spell itself wasn’t dangerous and Spike wanted to help so I let him. 

“Ha Ha you did it.” Spike said proudly.

“Growing magic that’s number 25.” Spike said as he put it on a chart.

“And I think this is the best one. Hello Rarity.” 

I chuckled and rolled my eyes at that.

“Sorry Romeo it’s just for practice.” I said. As I took away the mustache.

“Rats.” Spike said.

We then saw two colts running around. “Snips Snails what;s going on?” Spike asked.

“Well haven’t you heard there’s a new unicorn in town.” Snails said.

“Yeah they say she has more magical powers than any other unicorn ever.” Snips said.

I found that to be skeptical since only unicorns like Starswirl the bearded deserve such titles. 

“Oh come on now that honor goes to Twilight.” My son said.

I didn’t want to be a show off however. “Well currently see I’m the element of magic meaning that my magic is more powerful than most unicorns but I’m sure she’s still pretty good.” I stated.

We then went there and saw the unicorn though she seemed to be a bit of a show off. I had no plans on showing off myself because it just wasn’t my thing at least not in magic. I’ve never liked showing off without a good reason then it’s okay.  

“My my what boasting.” Rarity said.

“Come on nopony’s as magical as my mom.” Spike stated.

“There’s nothing wrong with being talented is there?” I said.

“Nothing at all. Excepting when someone goes around showing it off like school filly.” Applejack answered.
“Just because one has the ability to perform lots of magic does not make them better than anyone else.” Rarity stated.

I nodded my head in agreement. 

“What is with people in showing off? Magic shamiz boo!” Rainbow Dash said.

“Well it seems we have some naysayers in the audience. Who is so ignorant to challenge the great and powerful Trixie? Do they not know that they are in the presence of the most magical unicorn in all of Equestria?” Trixie said.

Rainbow Dash then flew over by her. “So great and powerful Trixie what makes you think you’re better than anybody else?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Why on the great and powerful Trixie has magic strong enough to defeat the dreaded ursua major.” She said.

“Don’t listen to her, there's now way.” I said.

She then challenged all my friends to a duel in order to prove themselves. All my friends lost and I didn’t have the heart to show off my talents which they were understanding of since not everyone needs to be a showoff.

Though I realized I should have let everyone know that she wasn’t as great and powerful as one would believe because of the fact that those two colts from earlier went looking for an ursua major. It was a minor thank goodness but it still caused quite a bit of destruction. I had to show off my magical talent to which I was proud of because of the fact that she really did deserve to get shown off for causing such damage through such a dangerous lie. I even wrote a letter to princess Celestia about it stating that while people don’t need to show off if showing their magical talent is for the common good such as helping a friend or neighbor then perhaps showing your potential then is acceptable.
