Twins In Equestria
Ch.8: Watch out guys, we got badass over here!
Through an open window the sunlight began to break over the horizon, slowly creeping through an open window and shining on Mark's face.
"Huh? Morning already?" Mark yawned.
He dressed himself and headed into the kitchen. He looked through the fridge and got out some milk and made himself a bowl of Derpy-O's.
"Hmm, this tastes like muffins."
Suddenly there was a note on the table where he was sitting. He picked up the message and read it.
"Hey Mark, I left to a gathering in the town square. Rarity needed her Opalescence to be babysat so I left her here for you to watch. I hope you don't mind." -Matthew
Mark looked around the room for the cat but, it was nowhere to be seen.
"So he leaves the cat for me to take care of and ditches me? What a dick." He thought aloud.
He entered the living room and flopped onto the couch
"Rrrreeeaaarrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!"
He got off the couch quickly to see the cat was already there before him. The two locked glares together.
"Off the couch!"
There was no movement from the cat.
"I said get off the couch. Now."
Opalescence held her ground against the boy.
"You little kike, Get off."
Opalescence hissed at Mark loudly.
Mark walked off into the kitchen. The sound of running water could be heard.
He came back with two cups of water.
"Listen here pussy, this is your last chance to get off the couch, now scram!"
Opalescence leapt off the couch and onto Mark's shirt.
"You little cunt! Get off me!"
He threw the water on himself but the cat quickly jumped off and scurried upstairs.
Mark stood in the living room drenched in water.
"Dumbass cat. What's her problem?"
He sat on the couch and turned on the T.V. Though that's what he would've done if there was a T.V.
".............. Goddamn it Matthew."
-Scene change-
(In the town square all of the ponies huddled together staring at a stage as If this was a one of a time event.)
"Come one, come all! Come and witness the amazing magic of the Great and Powerful Trixie!"
The stage then lit up with fireworks as the speaker revealed herself, gaining many "awes" and "ooos" from the crowd.
"My my! What boasting!" Rarity hissed.
"Tell me about it." Matthew agreed.
"Come on, no pony's as magical as Twi- Twi- Twi- oh! Uh, hey Rarity, I, uh......Mustache!!" Spike cried as he left.
"There's nothing wrong with being talented, is there?" Twilight asked.
"Nothin' at all, 'cept when someone goes around, showin' it off like a school filly with fancy new ribbons." Applejack growled.
"Just because one has the ability to perform lots of magic does NOT make one better than the rest of us." Rarity added.
"Especially when ya got me around being better than the rest of..." Rainbow Dash paused as she saw the glares of both Applejack and Matthew.
"Eh, I mean, yeah, uh, magic smagic. Boo!!" Rainbow yelled.
"Well, Well, Well, it seems we have some "neighsayers" in the audience." Trixie then stared at the six ponies and boy.
"Who is so ignorant as to challenge the Great and Powerful Trixie? Do they not know that they're in the presence of the most magical unicorn in all of Equestria?"
Rarity then blew a rasberry.
"Just who does she think she is?!" She said.
"A wannabe badass". Matthew muttered.
"Yeah! Since we all know that Twilight here is --" Spike was then cut off by Twilight shushing him.
"What? What's wrong?" He asked.
"You see the way they reacted to Trixie? I don't want anyone thinking I'M a show off." Twilight whispered.
Matthew heard the pony whispering to the baby dragon and simply sighed, as a little theme in the background played with fireworks shooting out the stage wagon.
Rainbow then quickly flew up to Trixie.
"So, Great and Powerful Trixie. What makes you think you're so awesome, anyway?"
The pegasus demanded.
The showmare chuckled at the question before answering.
"Heh, why, only the Great and Powerful Trixie has magic strong enough to vanquish the dreaded Ursa Major!" Trixie boasted.
Fireworks exploded in the air, making an image of a giant beast and a small pony as her.
The crowd aaah'd as two little colts joined, saying "What?" and "No way!"
"When all hope was lost, the ponies of hoofington had no one to turn to, but the Great and Powerful Trixie stepped in, and with her awesome magic, vanquished the Ursa Major and sent it back to it's cave deep within the Everfree Forest!"
"Awe sweet!!"
Suddenly, the two colts went in front of the crowd, both looking very excited.
"That settles it." The fat one said.
"Trixie truly is the most talented, the most magical, the most awesome unicorn in Ponyville." The skinny colt chirped.
"No, in all of EQUESTRIA!" The fat one added.
"How do you know? You didn't see it! And besides, Twi-" Spike's mouth was then zipped by Twilight. Literally.
"He's right. You need to have witnesses before you can state your claims as a fact." Matthew stated.
Trixie then laughed, Before turning back to the crowd.
"It's true, my enthusiastic little admirers. Trixie is most certainly the best in Ponyville."
Crickets were the only sounds you could hear at this moment.
"Don't believe the Great and Powerful Trixie?" Trixie chuckled.
"Well then, I hereby challenge you, Ponyvillians. Anything you can do, I can do better." Trixie offered.
"Any takers? Anypony? Or is Trixie destined to be-"
"I'LL go first! Shut the hell up!" Matthew yelled, walking up onto the stage.
"Alright then. Show me your best." Trixie barked.
"You think you're so cool huh? If you really are that good, guess what number I'm thinking of." Matthew said.
"Hmmm.............................is it seven?"
"..................dammit."
Matthew covered his face as he walked back to his spot, embarrassed.
"Any one else?" Trixie asked. There was no reply from the crowd.
"Hmmm...how about...YOU!" Trixie pointed.
Twilight gulped.
"Well, how about it? Hm? Is there anything you can do that the Great and Powerful Trixie can't?" Trixie asked.
"I--I--" Twilight stuttered.
"Well, little hayseed?" Trixie snapped.
"That's it!" Ah can't stand for no more of this!" Applejack went onto the stage.
"You show her AJ!" Spike shouted.
"Can your magical powers do this?!"
(Que banjo music)
She then brought out her rope and did impressive tricks, gaining cheers from the crowd.
"Top that, missy." Applejack dared.
Trixie scoffed, before getting started. "Oh ye of little talent, eatch and be amazed at the magic of Trixie!"
(Now put on snake charming music.)
A rope floated out of a vase, and towards Applejack. It paused, before wrapping around Her legs and making her fall, then shoving an apple in her mouth for the finisher. The crowd applauded and laughed, with Applejack having to be untied by Matthew.
"Once again, the Great and Powerful Trixie prevails." Trixie said smugly.
Rainbow Dash flew up on the stage.
"There's no need to go struttin' around and showin' off like that." Rainbow Dash said angrily.
"Oh?" Trixie said, not really paying attention.
"That's my job!" Rainbow Dash yelled.
(Electric guitar bgm now.)
She then flew up around the clouds, then through them and went around a windmill, before finally coming back with an actual rainbow above her, the crowd reacting positive from her trick.
"They don't call me "Rainbow" and "Dash" for nothin'!" The cyan pony bragged.
"When Trixie is through, the only thing they'll call you is LOSER."
(Now fast paced music)
Trixie used her magic to grab Rainbow Dash and make her go through everything again, except backwards.
"Ooooh.......I think I'm gonna be (ulp) sick." Rainbow Dash moaned.
"Seems like anypony with a "dash" of good sense, would think twice before tussling with the Great Trixie." Trixie said.
In the huge crowd, you can hear a familiar laugh.
-------------------------------
At a vegetable vendor, a stranger comes by. "May I have some Tomatoes?" The customer asked, holding out a bag of bits.
-------------------------------
"Oh no! Green hair! Not green hair! Such an awful, awful color!" Rarity cried, galloping away, while Golden Harvest in the back replied "well, I never!"
"You see? Nopony can best me!" Trixie chuckled, before a tomatoe went past her head.
"GET OFF THE STAGE, YOU OLD HAG!!" A voice yelled all the way from the back.
"Who said that?!" Trixie yelled.
"That would be me." A certain someone yelled back, walking towards the mane six and Matthew.
"Hey, Matthew?" Mark called.
"Yes Mark?" Matthew asked.
The older twin then raised his head up at him, revealing claw marks covering his face.
"Tell Rarity she can have her fucking dumbass cat back." Mark growled, raising Opalescence by the back of her neck, who was trying to break free so she can scratch his face even more.
(We'll be back after the break.)
(Yes we have breaks. Even we need to have a break, and don't even think of skipping this! Well anyways, time for this fic has been increased due to the summer and stuff. Oh, and some of the next chapters will be tying in with actual episodes to keep it in balance of the MLP storyline. Well, I suppose this should do as a break..... actually, it's more of a spoiler. Sheeeit.)
(We are back!)
"Hey! Everypony! This magician of Bullshit is nothing more than a fraud!" Mark yelled.
"Oh, is that so? Then I suppose you're my next oppenent then?" Trixie challenged.
"Hahaha I'm not your opponent!"
Mark laughed.
"Then who?" She asked.
"The only one here who can beat you obviously. It's Twilight!" Mark yelled slowly turning to twilight.
"That little mare? She hardly looks like she's worth my time." Trixie said smugly.
"I uh..." said a shaky Twilight.
"Well go on Twilight, you can beat her with no problem at all!" Spike cheered.
Twilight gave one look at everypony before being overtaken by fear of making it look like she's a boaster and ran away. (which makes absolutely no sense at all.)
"............ what the fuck. I give her an epic opening and she pussies out."
Mark said, facepalming.
"Ha! Well it looks like she tucked tail and ran away!" Trixie laughed.
"Now I challenge you!"
Mark stayed quiet.
(Hmmm, I think i have an idea. This should go well since it was part of the episode.) Mark thought.
"I decline!" He said running away as fast as he could exactly like twilight.
Suddenly there was a scene change to the afternoon of ponyville following after Trixie's next quote.
The whole town square suddenly became empty.
"Looks like the scene changes still work hahaha!" Mark chuckled to himself.
"Now where are they?"
Mark looked around Trixie's caravan. He saw Snips and Snails sitting outside patiently for their idol to come out.
"Psst. Hey!"
The two dimwits looked around until they noticed Mark.
He called the two colts over to him.
"Do you guys want to see The Great and Powerful Trixie's incredible magic?"
"Uhhh shure" said Snails.
Mark then whispered a plan to the two who were excited and quickly agreed to carry out the plan.
(At the sugarcube corner)
"So why did you invite us all here Mark?" Asked Rarity.
"You'll see." Mark replied.
The group sat there for awhile until Matt broke the silence.
"Mark, what are you up to now? This better not be some joke."
"Relax, there's nothing to be worried about!" Mark chuckled nervously.
("What the fuck is taking them so damn long?") Mark wondered.
"Uhh, hey guys? Don't leave yet, I'll be right back." Mark quickly said before running out of the bakery.
"What's that idiot up to?" Matt said.
(On the outskirts of Ponyville, the Everfree forest)
"Snips! Snails! Where are you!?" Mark shouted before being surprised by heavy footsteps behind him.
"Hello?"
Through a bush in front of him the two colts jump out in front of him.
"He's awake now!!!!" Snips yelled.
(Back at the bakery)
"What do ya think he wanted us here for?" Applejack asked.
"I have no idea." Twilight spoke.
"Even I have no idea." Matt said quietly.
Matt noticed his cup chocolate milk stirring and looked up to see Mark run into the bakery.
"Guys, get y'alls plots outside quick!" He said.
Everyone ran outside to see Trixie try to battle the Ursa Major.
"This one's all yours Twi." Mark patted Twilight's back and walked away.
"Awe, Come on Trixie." Snips said, Where Snails added "Stop goofin' around and vanquish it."
Trixie then conjured up a thundercloud and zapped the back of the bear, which only made it aggravated.
"Uh-Oh." Matthew said, covering his ears, while the Ursa roared and continued it's rampage.
Matthew pulled Mark's shirt, his other hand ready to sock him.
"Did you tell Snips and Snails to bring the Ursa here?!"
"I feel that any answer I say will end up with bad results heheh." Mark replied nervously.
Matt's grip tightened.
"Well no shit sherlock! I waited around Trixie's traveling wagon-thing for the whole day, and not once did I see the two little shits!" Matthew hollered.
"Huh. Since when did you become a stalker?" The older twin slyly remarked.
Matthew was very close to punching Mark.
"Oh you're a clever dick, aren't you?" He snarled.
"What's going on here?" Twilight said, rushing into the scene. "Why don't you take a damn look." Matt told the unicorn. "We brought an Ursa to town." Snips said, randomly appearing. "You WHAT?!" Twilight screamed. "Don't worry, the Great and Powerful Trixie will vanquish it." Snails piped.
The town of ponies then looked at Trixie. Trixie looked at the giant bear, before saying-
"I can't."
"What?!" Snips and Snails exclaimed.
"I can't, I never have. Nopony can vanquish an Ursa Major. I just made the whole story up to make me look better." The blue pony said shamefully.
"Made it up?!" The colts exclaimed again. The Ursa Major then roared, making everyone snap back to reality, and screaming in pure fear.
"Twilight, you have to stop it!" Spike cried.
Twilight gulped before using her magic to first, subdue the Ursa by making it fall asleep. Second, she got a water tower filled with milk, for it to drink. And thirdly, used the rest of her magic to transport it back to it's cave.
After that moment of suspense, she succeeded in performing all those things, saving Ponyville.
"Unbelievable!"
"That was amazing!"
"Heavens to Betsy! We knew you had ability, but not that much!" Applejack cheered, as did the ponies of the town.
"I'm sorry. Please don't hate me." Twilight whimpered.
"Hate you? Why, whatever do you mean darling?" Rarity asked, confused by what the purple unicorn said.
"Well, I know how much you all hated Trixie's showing off with all her magic, and I just thought-"
Rainbow Dash interrupted her sentence. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Magic's got nothing to do with it. Trixie's just a loudmouth."
"Most unpleasant."
"All hat and no cattle."
"They speak the truth, Twilight."
The girls turned to Matt as he and Mark approached them. "What you did was different." Mark said.
"When Trixie used her magic, she used it to brag, to make herself seem cool. But when you used your magic, you used it to protect everything you cared about. Like your friends and family." Matthew explained, pointing to the other elements and Spike.
"I don't know how you got caught up, thinking what you did was the same as what that showmare did." Mark wondered, raising his hands up.
"So, you don't mind my magic tricks?"
"Your magic tricks is a part of who you are, sugarcube, and we like who you are. We're proud to have such a powerful, talented unicorn as our friend." Applejack told Twilight.
"And after whuppin' that Ursa's hind quarters, we're even prouder now." Rainbow smiled.
"You are?" Twilight asked.
"Uh-huh."
"Mm-hmm."
"Mm-hmm."
"Wow, Twilight, how'd you know what to do with that Ursa Major?" Spike asked curiosly.
"That's what I was doing when it came. I was so intrigued by Trixie's bragging that I was compelled to do a little reading up on them." Twilight informed.
"So it is possible to vanquish an Ursa Major all by yourself?" Spike suggested.
"That wasn't an Ursa Major, it was a baby, an Ursa Minor." Twilight corrected.
"THAT was just a baby?!" Trixie exclaimed.
"And it wasn't rampaging. It was cranky because "someone" woke it up." Twilight said, looking at Snips and Snails. Matt, on the other hand, glared at Mark, who played it off with an innocent face.
"Aww...." the two colts sighed.
"Well, if "that" was an Ursa Minor, then what's an Ursa Major like?" Spike thought aloud.
Mark and Matt shuddered at the idea.
"You don't wanna know." Twilight said.
Trixie then walked up to Twilight.
"Hah. You may have vanquished an Ursa Minor, but you will never have the amazing, show-stopping ability of the Great and Powerful Trixie!!" The unicorn then used a smoke bomb to disappear, which failed obviously.
"Why that little.." Rainbow Dash was about to take off after her, but was stopped by Twilight.
"Just let her go. Maybe someday she'll learn her lesson. Now you two." She turned to Snips and Snails.
"Uh, we're sorry that we woke up the Ursa Minor."
"We just wanted to see some awesome magic."
"Yeah! And the way you vanquished that Ursa Minor was awesome!"
Twilight still had an irritated look on her face.
"We deserve any punishment you give us." Snails said, both looking down.
"For starters, you can clean up this mess. And.... what do you think Spike? Should I give them number twenty five?" Twilight asked.
"Oh yeah... and I think I deserve it, too." Spike grinned.
"Huh?" The colts wondered.
"I think you're right." Twilight replied. She used her magic then to make moustaches grow on their face.
"Sweet!!"
(Que "keeping the peace" from Dissidia)
"Well then, I guess our job is done." Matthew said, leaving with Mark.
"Where are you two going?" Twilight asked.
"To do what we do best: .......Sleep." Mark replied.
Twilight smiled as she watched two walk off.
-------------------------------
"So Matthew, what did you think of this chapter?"
"Huh? Chapter? What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Ya know... this story?"
"This.... story? You're just speaking nonsense right now."
"Really? I thought you knew. Well anyways it looks like I'll be the star now heeheuha!"
"Sounds like a bunch of hoopla to me."
"People love the rambunctious type characters in stories so it's obviously gonna be me in our popularity poll soon!"
"Hey Mark? Could you shut the fuck up now? It's getting late and we gotta get home."
"Sure thing. It's about time to wrap this chapter up now."
.......................................
(Scene Change)
"Dear Princess Celestia,
I have learned a very valuable lesson about friendship: I was so afraid of being thought of as a showoff that I was hiding a part of who I am. My friends helped me realize that it's okay to be proud of your talents, and there are times when it's appropriate to show them off..... Especially when you're standing up for your friends."
"P.S: you were right the two boys. Mark and Matthew are safe. I know this personally, because they were one of the main people who helped me see this."
"Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."
"There. It's finished now. Spike, take the letter please."
Spike did as he was told and sent the message like a tool.
Suddenly the phone began to ring.
"Spike could you see who that is?"
Twilight asked.
Spiked picked up the phone and answered: "Hello?"
"Yes, is there a Mr. Drew P. Wiener around?"
"Uhh I don't know let me check. Hey Twilight is there a Droopy wiener here?"
"A WHAT!??"
There was laughter before the person hung up the phone.
