And having to go to detention he meets a young orphaned colt named Steelwing who was sent to detention earlier for making parts for his metal wing. The two became best friends and were in separable ever since when it was time to go to high school they moved to Ponyville were they met Rarity Applejack and Pinkie Pie. Steelwing quickly realized that trickster was a total mare magnet. It seemed like where ever they went rarity applejack or pinkie were always there flirting with him. This caused some controversy over the years with the other mares. When Tricks was sent to the unicorns college due to his ability to use magic were he meets twilight sparkle as the prize student of Celestia and the only one capable of beating him in a magic duel. After college he got a job as a journalist. After a couple of years he is sent to Ponyville to cover the mane sixes adventures. Were he soon finds the myths sounding a new metal workshop being built so naturally the colt wanted to check it out the only problem was first he needs a place to stay and put his stuff down and eat. After looking around for a while he stumbled upon sugar cube corner. Upon his entry was greeted with a familiar voice pinkie pie. As the smile on Pinkie s face grew larger than it has ever been in her life she was for once in her life speechless for a few seconds. Then began the adventure “When did you get here Tricks?" Trickster replied “Today from Canterlot I was sent from my newspaper to do some articles on the elements of harmony and stuff a long that nature." "Oh goody I can't wait to tell everyone we're goin to have a party and everything." Pinkie said while jumping up and down with joy as Rarity walks in “Did I hear Canterlot and party." As soon as Rarity finishes her sentence her jaw drops to the floor as she gazed upon her high school and college crush Tricks. "Why I must be dreaming a third chance to win you over my little Trickster" Rarity said with joy. Trickster replies " I’m sorry Rarity I'm just not looking for anypony right now what I’m more concerned with is we're am I going to sleep tonight and what's going on with the old steel mill." "My what do you want with that old thing and every pony is looking for someone in their life to fall in love with" Rarity says agitatedly. "I would have expected you of all people to know I'm a big shot reporter and critic." Tricks said. "Fine the old steel mill is the Evergreen forest and good luck trying to get any pony to take you there." Rarity says with a mocking tone. "Then I'll go by myself." Tricks said before leaving two disappointed ponies. As he is walking through the forest he hears crying from a bush. As he looks in it he spy's a filly with hypnotic looking eyes and a screwball cutie mark. "Go away" the filly says. Tricks being the witty guy he is says "Ok I didn't even want to know what's wrong" . "Really" the filly says innocently. Tricks said “Of course I do and where are your parents”. The filly says "One of them was turned to stone then let go and never bother to see me and I ran away from the other because she doesn't know how it feels to be alone and bullied at school by every pony." You know it seems like your just mad for something and I know your pain but worse both of my parents died when I was three and I didn't have any other family so I learned to steal and live off of what I had" Tricks says. "Really that must have been terrible for you and by the way my name is screwball." The filly replied. "Well Screwball my name is Trickster and how about we get you home to your mom." Trickster replies. "Only if you tell me about life on the streets Trickster" Screwball bargains. "Well I guess I have no choice then come on then where do you live any ways." Tricks asked in his normal sarcastic tone. "I live in the basement of sugar cube corner. “Screwball answers. As the pair started on their way back to sugar cube corner the young filly became sadder as Tricks told his stories of his childhood. When they reached sugar cube corner a unicorn came rushing out the door and tackles Trickster "WHY DID YOU KIDNAP MY LITTLE GIRL" the mare yelled. "Hey I didn't take your little girl I was just simply walking her back home from the evergreen forest" Tricks said still half dazed. "Oh my bad and you're in so much trouble Screwball you’re grounded for a week" the mare exclaimed. "I'm sorry mom" Screwball said in an extremely pitiful voice. "I almost forgot my name is Sugar Mint I live in the basement here." Sugar said. "Trickster it's nice to meet you Sugar Mint." Tricks said. "Oh before you Trickster I would like to apologize and thank you so do you have any plans tonight." Sugar asked. "I just need to put stuff at my new house and then I'll be free what did you have in mind." Tricks asked. "Oh just dinner and maybe a movie." Sugar responds. "You mean a date." Tricks said. "Yeah something like that I guess if you want it to be." Sugar said in a shy voice just as Rarity walked in with twilight. "WHAT I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. You’re going out with her instead of me. How this could this happen to me again is the gala all over again." Rarity said in a dramatic voice. "First she asked me on a date. Second what do you mean the gala all over again?" Tricks said with a sarcastic and at the same time cocky tone." Rarity and twilight go into the story about what happened to them at the grand galloping gala. Trickster Sugar and Screwball all busted out laughing at the same time. "Wow glad I didn't go. Even though it sounds like the best night ever." Tricks said sarcastically. Then Twilight yelled "It isn't funny do you know how many new spells I could have learned on that night." "You haven't change at all twilight." Tricks said. "Wait you know her" ever pony else said in unison. "Yeah I was her roommate in college." Tricks said. "We even dated for a while." Twilight says. "What you were able to date him." Rarity said in an overly dramatic voice. "What's the big deal Rarity?" A confused twilight said. "I'VE Had a CRUSH ON HIM SINCE And before blue blood." Rarity yelled. "Ah girls he is gone." Sugar said. "Ah finally got away from them." Tricks thought out loud. "Away from who?" A new mare said. "And who are." Tricks asked. "The real question is who are you." The new mare asked. "I'm trickster" "and who are you" "I'm the fastest flyer out of Cloudsdale Rainbowdash. You care for a race to Sweetapple acres." Rainbowdash said. "Sure why not hope you’re as fast as you say you are." Tricks said. All of the sudden a small filly pops out of no were. "You’re going to smoke him Rainbowdash" the filly yelled. "Thanks Scootaloo but I already know who's going to win." Rainbowdash says. "Are you done talking yet?" Rainbowdash takes off right next to her is Tricks. "I hope you’re faster than that" they said in unison. As the two raced on going faster and faster. It was over just as fast as it began. "You’re good maybe we could get together again tonight." Rainbowdash asked. "Sorry can’t I already have a date" tricks said. "What in tarnation is goin on here Rainbow? And who's your cute friend there." The mare asked. "Don't even bother applejack he is mine right after he and his mare friend breakup." Rainbowdash said. "Actually it’s a onetime thing and I got to go see around." Tricks said as he takes off. Now to go see Steelwing about this mess with all these mares. "Oh hi Tricks when did you get here." A familiar voice said. "Oh Cheerilee it's been awhile." Tricks said. "It's been a few years and I would love to catch up sometime maybe lunch this Friday." Miss Cheerilee said. "That would be great." Tricks replied. "I here that you’re the new reporter around here." Miss Cheerilee said. "Actually I'm a critic to and I hear you’re a teacher." Tricks said. "I am its wonderful any ways recess is over and I need to get back to my class." Miss Cheerilee said. "It's been nice seeing you bye." As tricks took off a filly voice cried out "OH COME ON". As he was flying back to his he spotted a familiar face. As he descended the figure disappeared leaving him confused and then three fillies jumped out in front of him. "Hey you’re the pony that my sister can't stop talking about." Two of the fillies said in unison. "That depends who I am talking to." Tricks said in a witty manner. "I'm Sweetie belle I'm Rarity's little sister." "And I'm Apple bloom and over there is Scootaloo." "I know her she’s the one who witnessed me and Rainbowdash tie in a Race this morning" Tricks said. "Wait you tied with Rainbowdash" Scootaloo said puzzled "Yes I did." Tricks said. "The Rainbowdash I doubt it." Scootaloo said. And then the three sped off to see if the story was true. Back with the mane six at the spa. "Have you all met the new awesome Pegasus that just moved in?" Rainbowdash asked. "That depends is this tall with a shaggy dark brown mane and light blue coat and a joker card cutie mark?" Pinkie responded. "Yeah that's him he tied me in race." Rainbowdash said. "Why were you wondering rainbow." Twilight said. "I guess I was wondering if you met my future special some pony." Rainbowdash said. "What in tarnation are ya talkin about rainbow he was going to be mine." Applejack said grinding her teeth. "I hope you mean he was going to be mine silly heads." Pinkie pie said. "I don't mean to enter up but I think he should be mine maybe if that’s alright." Fluttershy said. "I do believe that he will be mine." Rarity said. "I hope you all know that I actually dated him so statistically speaking I have a better chance of winning him over than any of you." Twilight said just as sugar mint walked in. "Hi I heard you all would be here." Sugar said. "Why are you here?" They said in unison. "I just wanted to make sure that there were no hard feelings in me asking trickster out on this date tonight." Sugar said. "Well of course not honey and I do speak for the all of us." Rarity said. "Ok that's good." Sugar replied then she left. "Alright who ever kisses tricks first gets to keep him and it can't be forced and someone has to witness it also it has to be for more than six seconds." Twilight said. "Oh I almost forgot every pony is invited to my welcome party for Trickster’s friend Steelwing" Pinkie said.
