Journal Entry 1

Hello Journal! I've decided to keep a log of my rise to fame as the most incredible unicorn to ever perform in all of Equestria. It will be a nice reminder of my humble beginnings when I'm famous and everypony loves and adores me!

I suppose I should start by introducing myself. I'm Trixie, The One and Only! I've studied magic for as long as I can remember. I even taught myself a bunch of new tricks. I'm certain I'm ready to become the performer I was born to be, even though my teachers at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns keep telling me I have so much yet to learn. They say despite my obvious talent I should stay in Canterlot and study some more. I just want to go out and show everypony what I can do!

That's why I doing my first show tomorrow! It's just a small act in the student lounge. I'll show all the ponies a few of the tricks I've taught myself. I'm certain it will go well, then I'll have a bunch of friends!

Until tomorrow!

Love ya!

-Trixie, The One and Only!




Journal Entry 2

Hello journal.

My first performance went horribly! Everyone laughed when I goofed up on spell number three! It was so embarrassing! The worst part is, some of my EX-classmates were at the show. They were laughing the loudest.

I'm feeling really down. But I won't give up! Trixie, The One and Only doesn't give up! She presses on and proves to those, those NEIGH-sayers that she can perform feats of magic SO spectacular that they are not to be believed!

I'm already working on small spell involving a rope. That aught'a teach those hecklers!

Until tomorrow!

Love ya!

-Trixie, The One and Only!



Journal Entry 3

Hi Journal! I've done it again! I've set up another performance! It's at a small sweet shop at the edge of town. I'll show them this time! Trixie, The One and Only, will astound their little pony minds! I'm sure I'll be a success and I'll make lots of friends! I just have to work a bit more on spell number three.

Until tomorrow!

Love ya!

-Trixie, The One and Only!



Journal Entry 4

Hi journal! I screwed up big time! I was up all night practicing for my big show today that I was so exhausted and fell asleep in the middle of my performance! I was booed off the stage! I don't think I can suffer any more embarrassment!

That's why, starting tomorrow, Trixie, The One and Only, will be heading out into this wide world of Equestria! I'll be on the road from now on until I'm famous enough to retire! I won't be coming back to Canterlot until I have something substantial to brag about. Then I'll show those foals who is lame!

I'll be leaving at night so no one will notice I'm gone till morning.

Until next time, journal!

Love you!

-Trixie, The One and Only!



Journal Entry 5

I know its been a while journal, but I've been busy, moving non-stop to get away from everyone and everything I ever knew. I don't want my parents to know where I am, they'll just tell me to come home. I'm currently in a small town north of Canterlot called Bridleton. Not sure where that is. It's so flank backwards up here! It's such a small town and they have to grow most of their food in a greenhouse. I guess it's because they're so far north nothing grows easily. There's not much here but It's a nice place to stop for a while before I head further north to Stalliongrad.

Oh yeah! I learned a new trick today! I call it the Animated Light spell! It's really more of a copy spell. It doesn't actually bring the light to LIFE but duplicates the intensity and luminosity of the light into a corporal form I can then manipulate with basic telekinesis! It doesn't duplicate the chromatic variation yet, but I'll work on that.

I think I'll try performing a show here in this backwater village before I leave.

Until tomorrow!

-Trixie, The One and Only!
