Entry 21
Trixie needs to invest in a map of travel routes of Equestria. After my hasty good-bye from Trottawa, Trixie passed through several towns and ended up in Hoofington.
I almost turned around and left but some of the townsfolk recognized me and called to me. I half expected them to throw tomatoes and start to yell and scream, but they asked me to retell my tale of the dreaded Ursa Major!
I guess the truth hasn't reached them yet.
Trixie dismissed them. I told them I was far too exhausted to perform feats beyond imagination. If I was feeling up to it, I'd tell them tomorrow. That'll buy me some time to think of a way out of this.
I have to stop writing here. Some pony is knocking at the door. I'll finish this later.
-Trixie
Entry 22
My late visitor just left. Some young filly named Limelight that wants to be a performer like The Great and Powerful Trixie. She wanted advice on how to start. I told her to come up with a stage name. Something like, The Amazing and Wonderful Limelight! - But not that! I also told her to always cover her tracks! You never know when some mistake you made will come back and haunt you!
Then she asked if she could travel with me and watch me perform, just to learn. I didn't know what to say. It was the first time anyone wanted to come with me anywhere.
I tried to think of a reason why I shouldn't let her but I couldn't think of anything. I agreed to let her follow and help with audience wrangling, but forbid her from ever entering my home when I wasn't there!
She agreed and was, of course, overjoyed to hear she could travel with The Great and Powerful Trixie, as any filly would be. I have a good feeling about this filly. I think she'll be quiet useful!
-The Great and Powerful Trixie
Entry 23
Trixie HATES Hoofington!
They made me recount my tale with all seriousness! I hadn't thought of a suitable excuse and as much as I protested, tried to look humble, they forced Trixie to tell her story!
As it turns out they all KNEW the Ursa Major story was a fake! They all laughed and mocked Trixie! I've never felt more like a foal in my entire life!
I left immediately! I hope to never see Hoofington as long as I live! If it weren't for my new assistant I'd say NOTHING good came out of Hoofington!
-The Great and Powerful Trixie!
Entry 24
The Great and Powerful Trixie's Not-So-Great assistant botched my performance today! We stopped in a small village between Ponyville and Appleoosa to perform. I told my Limelight to rally a crowd, and what did the rabble rouser do? She gathered an angry mob!
We were nearly run out of town! Thankfully we snuck back in and caught the train to Appleoosa. I had to pay for a private cabin to store my stage/home in. It almost didn't fit but with a little magic and some hard work I forced it.
I wonder where my Limelight is? I haven't seen her since I got on the train.
-The Great and Powerful Trixie
Entry 25
Once again that useless upstart of a pony almost cost me my show! Luckily Trixie can turn a crowd on its heel with the greatest of ease! A few dazzling fireworks displays, a couple animated lights and a rope trick or two and they forgot all about my miserable excuse for an assistant.
Trixie takes it back. Nothing good DID come out of Hoofington! I should send her packing!
-The Angry and Agitated Trixie!
