//------------------------------// // Entries 16-20 // Story: One Trick Pony // by Saphin //------------------------------// Entry 16 Well guess what journal. We didn't make it to Manehatten. SHOCKER! We went the wrong way! I bought a bit of hay to stay fed a bit longer. My old cloak is all dirty and soaked from the mud last night. I need a new one. There's a really fancy looking cape and hat in the store window right now. I want to buy it but if I do I'll be out of bits. Maybe it'll turn my luck around? Who am I kidding. -Trixie Entry 17 Exciting news journal! I've prolonged my journey just a bit more! I decided to buy the outfit I saw in the window! After some haggling with the shopkeeper I managed to convince him to give me the hat and cape for MUCH less than he was asking for! I still gave up all my bits for it, but it was worth it! As I was leaving the shop some colts tried to make fun of me. The one was all like, "Are you a wizard?" And I was all like "Yes. I'm a Great wizard! Greatest in all of Equestria!" They didn't believe me so I used my rope trick and tied them up and left them there! A young mare across the street saw me doing this and started to laugh! She said it was the best trick she'd ever seen! Her name is Lucky Swirl! She's even letting me stay at her place! I told her all about how I want to be a performer and she agreed to help me set up a stage in the town park tomorrow! Journal, I think Trixie is going to be a household name! I don't want to get too excited but it's been so long since someone noticed my talents! So excited for tomorrow! -Trixie, The Great Wizard! Entry 18 Trixie, The Great Wizard is a hit! Everypony loved it! The way they cheered and awed at my performance! I didn't even screw up once! There was a few hecklers but I quickly silenced them with a basic color changing spell. Green manes and tails are in this season, I hear. Tee-hee! The mayor even paid me for my extraordinary show! She liked the show so much, she asked if I could do a repeat performance tomorrow! I told her it might cost a bit more since I'll have to reschedule my appearance in Manehatten because of it. SHE AGREED! Lucky Swirl took me out to celebrate! She showed me her favorite drink, smoothies with extra hay! It was so delicious I could just melt drinking it! Today has been the best day of my entire life! Journal. We're going places! -Trixie, The Great Wizard! Entry 19 Another amazing performance! Less hecklers than before but everypony stuck around for the fireworks show at the end! I booked my ticket on the train for Manehatten the next day. Showbiz sure does pay well! A few days ago I could only DREAM of riding first class, now its nothing! I think this hat and cape are lucky! I can do no wrong! Lucky Swirl is acting a little weird. I'll talk to her before I go. I'm so happy I made at least one friend on my amazing journey! Trixie out! Entry 20 Leaving was harder than I though this time. Lucky Swirl gave me a large diamond brooch for good luck. It's really quiet beautiful. I told her to come with me but she said he had to stay behind. I promised her I'd come back and visit her someday when I'm famous and loved by everypony! Then we'll hang out all the time! I'll never forget that town! Come to think of it, I don't know where that was! I'll have to ask somepony when I get off the train. Manehatten here we come! -Trixie, The Great Wizard!
