Chapter 11
It was been a week since the Poison Joke incident, I work at Sweet Apple Acers bucking the trees without any more accidents, and Arcana is now a self employed pony, her job is being able to supple some ponies here in Ponyville and in Cantorlot gems, courtesy of the diamond dogs (whom still have that giant gem in the middle of their home, that and they are a bit afraid of her).
So now we help Twilight pay for the upkeep of the library and other inessentials in her home.
So everything in Ponyville has calm for days without any incident, until…
I walked into the library after my day of working at Applejack's farm, as I entered the library I noticed that Arcana had books levitating around her while she also scribbling something into a piece of parchment.
Normally I wouldn't be interested in what Arcana read, but I read one of the books title and I was surprised to see it say, The Art of Flying.
I read the other books titles, Implications of Gems and Enchantments and other Spell Castings.
"What are you doing Arcana? "I asked curious.
She looked up from her work and answers, "well I noticed that different gems reacts differently when they have magic in them, so I am doing an experiment with them."
"That's cool, "I said as I felt my mind started to wonder, you see my mind tends to wonder when something majorly scientific is going on around, the results is that I get bored real quickly.
I quickly made a daffodil and sunflower sandwich and consumed it and left the library.
I flew up to a cloud that was above the library and landed on it, you see I taken up on naps after I work and now I know why Dash likes to sleep on this all the time, they are so dang soft.
I lie down on the cloud and close my eyes, feeling the breeze and the warm sun, feeling myself getting drowsy, and then I realized something, great I am becoming like Dash, oh well, and fell asleep.
BANG
The loud explosion woke me up and made me fell off of my cloud in fright and fell into the tree below me hitting branches and nearly hitting a beehive on the way down (now that was close call) and fell out of tree in front of the door, which opened to reveal Arcana standing there, with a saddlebag on.
"What happened? "
"I don't know, I was too busy hitting branches and falling, "I said sarcastically as I got up and pulled twigs and leaves out of my mane, "What about you though? Weren't you here?"
"No, I was out collecting gems and I just got back, when I heard that explosion."
"Well then let's go find out where that explosion came from then. "
It wasn't hard to find where it came, because we saw a crowd of ponies gathered around something.
We made our way through them and saw that there was a cart, with the area blackened like it was burned.
"What the hay happened here? "I asked to no pony in particular, And why is that cart so familiar.
As if the universe heard me, I got my answer.
"BEHOLD THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE, "a voice called out, and the cart unfolded with smoke and fireworks in a stage.
I heard a lot of ponies groan out loud, few saying, ah, not her again; great she's back, and other sayings.
The smoke cleared and there stood Trixie, but instead of a blue cape and wizard hat, she had a black cloak on.
"Great Trixie is back, "I looked to who said that and saw Twilight and her friends and their pets standing there.
"When did all of you get here? "I asked.
"Who, "Owlowiscious hooted.
"Them, "I said.
"Who, "the owl repeated.
"Never mind."
"Just now, we were all at our pony pet play date in the park, when we heard the explosion, "Twilight answered.
"Behold ponies, the great and powerful Trixie has returned, but this time she came back with more power and magic, since my last visit here in Ponyville I have been under the tutorage of a great and powerful unicorn. "Trixie said with a smug.
"Who is this powerful unicorn, you claim to be a student of, "Twilight said.
"Oh, you would like to know don't you Twilight Sparkle, but my teacher wants to be remain unknown to all, now Twilight Sparkle the great and powerful Trixie challenges you to a face off in magic."
"No, I am not a show off like you, "Twilight said denying the challenge.
"Ah I see, so you are afraid to fight me and lose in front of all Ponyville, and let everypony see that you are a fake. "
"Now you see here Trixie, you know as does as everypony here Twilight is more powerful than you'll ever be, "Arcana said defending Twilight.
"You stay out of this blonde, "Trixie told her.
I widen my eyes at what she said and quickly looked at Arcana, and I saw that one of her eyes is twitching.
"Ah oh, "I said as I took a stepped back away from her towards Twilight and her friends.
"What? "Twilight asked.
"It's what Trixie said, "I answered.
"What, blonde? "RD asked.
"Ya."
"Why? "Rarity asked.
"Well the last person who called her blonde couldn't walk right for weeks after she gave him a piece of her mind, "I explained.
"Oh dear, "Fluttershy said worried for the boy or for Trixie, I don't know.
"Did you just call me a blonde? "Arcana asked confirming what she heard with a angry tone.
"Ya blonde, do you need ice for that burn. "Trixie taunted.
"I am going to prove her wrong that she is not that powerful as she claims, "she said in a low voice.
"Do you think you should do something Star? "Twilight asked really worried right now.
"I can't, when someone calls her a blonde, her mind become like a steel trap and won't stop till she hurt the person in some way."
"Trixie, I will accept the challenge, "Arcana said as she started to walk up to the stage.
"Well it looks like the great and powerful Trixie can have a practice session before I get my challenge from Twilight."
"You are going to regret for ever coming back here, "Arcana said as she finally got on the stage.
"Oh, I just love these kinds of standoffs, "Pinkie said beside me.
I looked over and saw that Pinkie and Gummy each have a bag of popcorn.
"What the hay? "I said confused.
"Oh, you want some too? "Pinkie reached behind her back and took out another bag of popcorn and handed it to me.
"Where did you, ah forget it you're Pinkie Pie, thanks, "I said as took a hoof full and stuff it in my mouth.
"No prob."
"Let's just get this started, "Trixie said getting annoyed, "I'll go first."
With that her horn glow with a blue aura, and spheres of light appeared and swirled around her, a contraption came out of the stage, and fired six disks onto the air.
Trixie released six of the spheres at the disks, the spheres hit the disks causing them to shatter and rain down bits of the disks, causing everypony to cover their heads from the raining debris.
"Hay, be careful you might hurt somepony, "Arcana said.
"The great and powerful Trixie doesn't care, now go and make your move, "Trixie said impatient.
"Fine then, "her horn started to glow with a white aura and the clasps on the saddlebag opened and gems started to flew out of them along with a piece of parchment.
Arcana opened the parchment and studied it, after a while she looked at the gems in the air and started to rearrange them.
After a few look backs to the parchment to make sure that she getting something right.
After a while the gems are rearranged in what looked like wings.
Arcana's horn glowed more brightly and several transmutation circles appear, but these diagrams look so complex, that they gave me a headache just by looking at them.
There was a bright flash, blinding me and I think everypony in the square.
As my vision clears and looked around sure enough, about half of the ponies in the square are still blinded, but Pinkie has a pair of sunglasses on (screw it Pinkie is Pinkie, as Arcana said 'I will never understand her in a thousand years).
I heard sounds of amazement and turned my attention back to stage and saw what took my breath away, there on the stage stood Arcana with a pair of glittering wings and those chest pieces that Princess Celestia and Luna wear, but it connected to the wings and wrapped around her stomach.
I took a closer look and saw that the wings and the chest were made of the gems from before. Causing the sunlight to bend and create arches of rainbows over our heads.
"Oh my goodness, those wings are simple marvelous and beautiful, "Rarity said amazed.
"How did you do that, the great and powerful Trixie has never seen that spell before, "Trixie said worried.
"Because I created this spell, "Arcana answering, and with that she flapped the wing and she took off into the air.
Everypony cheered and stamped their hooves, confirming that Arcana were the victor of the challenge, after the cheering died down, Arcana fluttered down to the ground and took a bow.
"We'll see if you like this then, "Trixie said getting upset, her horn glowed and the spheres of light came back and launched them at Arcana.
"WATCH OUT, "I yelled out, worried that Trixie is going to harm her.
Arcana looked up at Trixie and did something that I wasn't expecting, for she swung her wings around and deflected all of them into the air, where they burst into the air.
Trixie stood there shocked and said, "but that is impossible, that spell is meant to go through all known materials, how were you able to deflect them?"
"It was simple really to how I deflected your magic, for I just used a simple deflection spell, and I also studied magic since the day I arrived here in Ponyville, and let me tell you, you give magic a bad name for all of this boasting and claims for having more power, and do you need ice for that burn "Arcana said to her with a smile.
Arcana walked off the stage with her head and wings held high.
As soon as she got off the stage, there was a blue flash and loud pop, and then Trixie and her cart disappears, all the ponies stood there looking confused, but it quickly left their minds and everypony left to do what they were doing before.
As Arcana walked up to us, we all congratulate her.
"How did you make those wings? "RD asked.
"Well it is just a combination of spells, enchantments and gems, "Arcana explained.
"Where did you get the idea for it, "I asked, still gazing at her wings.
Arcana blushed and mumbled, "Well I got the idea when a combination of gems started to float, that and the Victoria Secret model wings."
I started to laugh and Pinkie asked, "who's Victoria and what's her secret. "
I laughed some more as Arcana's blush became deeper in color and I said, "well Pinkie, that will be explained later in life.
"This is amazing, "Twilight said amazed studying the wings, "but how do you get it off?"
Arcana eyes widen in panic as she realized something and then she started to pull and tug at the chest piece, but it was firmly in place on her skin.
After a while she stopped pulling and tugging and said, "oh buck, this spell is so complicated that I was too busy making the spell for the wings, I forgot to make the part to end it, I think I accidently cursed myself."
"So it is stuck on you, "Fluttershy said worried, "oh dear."
"So you made yerself to an alicorn, like Princess Celestia and Luna? "Applejack said confused.
"Well not exactly, but close, "Arcana said, "since I can't take it off, I can at least do this."
Her horn started to glow and the wings started to fold onto it till only what remains is a thick necklace, but still attached to her skin.
"At least you don't have to carry those wings around, and getting odd looks, "Twilight said.
"That and I don't everypony bowing down to me every time they see me, "Arcana explained.
"So, what now? "I asked everypony.
We all stood there wondering what to do next.
