Chapter 10
“I never reject anything that’s for free as a matter of principle. Thank you, Trixie.”
Trixie moved behind the stand, and levitated an identically-looking pack of nuts out of it. She held it in front of Twilight. “Here you go! Enjoy!” A noticeably forced grin appeared on Trixie’s face.
Twilight hesitated. “Uhm… I don’t want to sound rude here, Trixie, but why aren’t you taking one of the many other packages?”
Completely unprepared for Twilight asking about it, Trixie stuttered, “Uhh… these a-are… special nuts! Yes, that’s right. Extra special nuts for Twilight Sparkle, the pony who opened my eyes!” She moved the bag an inch closer.
Twilight paid the awkwardness of the situation no heed, and gratefully accepted the gift. She started munching on a few nuts immediately.
“Mmmh, deesh tasht delishus!” she mumbled with half her mouth full of nuts.
“Told you.” Swallowing the bunch, Twilight raised her hoof to say goodbye, and turned around. Trixie did the same.
“Huuhh… I feel… weak…” Twilight moaned after a few steps.
Then, she collapsed on the spot.
Trixie’s fake smile turned into a vicious grin. “Hah! I knew Twilight Sparkle wouldn’t reject anything that’s for free! Next time check if somepony hasn’t put any anesthetics into your nuts.” She laughed. “Now, it’s time for Trixie’s revenge!”
Stepping forward towards the sleeping librarian, she noticed the metallic helmet laying next to her. With a wicked grin she took it.
“Trixie has not a single clue what this thing does, but she knows everything can somehow be sold on the black market!”
She put Twilight on a nearby park bench, packed all the nut packages into the stand, and ran off.
