Sunset smiled as she sat across from both Twilight and Celestia. The three were having tea in Canterlot Castle, or at least, she and Celestia were. Twilight was watching them in a huff, but Sunset knew she was enjoying herself. She turned to Celestia. “So, shall we show her our trick?”
Celestia smiled back at her student before nodding. “Yes, I do believe it is time we showed Twilight just how much magic unicorns of today have. If you will start us, my beloved student, we can begin.”
Sunset swelled from the praise and stood on her hooves. An aura of red magic started to surround her. It bathed her in its warmth and familiarity, just as it always had. A tear came to her eye as it squeezed around her, the joy of her magic causing her to get emotional. Finally, once she was certain she would be able to control it, she let the bright field flow upwards in a steady stream.
A wave of golden energy radiated outward from Celestia, but as it banked, it became smaller and more condensed. The aura slowly glided around Sunset’s own magic, keeping it together and adding to it.Twilight watched in awe as the energies continued to wrap around each other, becoming two spheres; a small red one within a larger, more radiant sun that engulfed it.
“I-it’s amazing! Did Celestia show you how to do this?”
Sunset grinned, but the amount of focus she needed stopped her from answering. Instead, Celestia answered for her. “No. Sunset came up with this, to prove herself as the greatest unicorn in Equestria, something she proves everyday to me.”
Twilight whistled for a moment before her form shook and her pristine cloaked was suddenly filled with holes. The shrill laughter that came out from her friend chilled Sunset to her core. “Wh-what is it Tw-nng.” She bent her knees as she kept the magic under control, panic causing it to waver and shake.
Twilight stepped forward before gathering a large mass of her black magic. It shot forward like a lightning bolt, crashing against the sphere. Tendrils of darkness infected the bubble, and for a moment, went down the lines that connected the other two magic users. It was then though that Twilight let out another laugh, but this one was far more pleasant as her magic stabilized within the maelstrom of mana. “You two should see the looks on your faces!”
Sunset let out a desperate sigh before her face tensed from how hard it was getting to keep control. The magic was getting too strong for her, but she couldn’t just let go and disappoint Celestia. She had little choice though as a blue, auric lance slammed into the sphere.
Luna flew down, as tall as Nightmare Moon, and just as frightening to Sunset. The magic was growing quickly out of control, with the bubble shaking more and more each moment. The newest princess set down next to Sunset and whispered, “What makes you so special?”
Twilight smiled as she heard the words. “If it weren’t for Celestia’s seals, my magic would be so strong as to freeze you without thinking. Can you do anything like that?”
Celestia turned to Twilight. “How true little one. And with how much resilience to your own decay you’ve shown, you’ll definitely outlast my current, useless student.”
“Bu-but Im your priz–“
“My prized student would not need to dream up a spell to impress me, she just–“
Boom!
White fire bathed the entirety of the castle, and Sunset shut her eyes as the warmth started to beat at her face. Opening them, she found herself not in the castle, but her still unfamiliar treehouse. She shook for a few moments before shutting her eyes and putting her head into her hooves. Why am I her student? What makes me so special?
“Excuse me, but Trixie thinks that talking to you might help with your worries.”
Sunset looked up at the strange new voice and saw a kitsune, a pony spirit, reincarnated to have the traits of a fox. They were rare, but known as omens of good luck and safety, at least, if the old legends had kept true. Her mind immediately flashed to the white light that had ended her nightmare. “Fox fire?”
Trixie grinned. “Trixie sure does hope you liked it… though, she is sorry that she didn’t jump in earlier.”
Sunset bit into her cheek as she looked at her hooves. “A-another spirit for my new home I guess.” She tried chuckling slightly before putting her hooves into her lap. “And just another pony I know who is better than me.”
Trixie floated over, her nose twitching as she frowned. “While Trixie knows she is better then you, she doubts that you have anything to worry about. She can tell you are beyond almost any pony she has seen, at least in Equestria.”
Sunset looked up, her eyes set in a firm glare. “How am I supposed to believe you?”
The blue kitsune bit into her cheek. “Trixie supposes the best she can say is that she has been through most of Equestria, and never before has she seen a mare who not only can impress a ruler, but also befriend a wraith and harness the powers of nature and magic themselves.”
Sunset blushed for a few moments and grinned. “Well, when you put it that way…”
Trixie gave out a slight chuckle. “See, you’re fine as you are. And now that you know of Trixie, you have a new goal to strive for.”
Sunset raised an eyebrow. “Oh really?”
Trixie mimicked Sunset’s gesture. “You don’t want to challenge an almighty kitsune. This is the only warning Trixie will give you.”
“Is that because you’re too scared?”
Trixie’s eyes widened and her tails glowed before she breathed a jet of flame. Sunset merely smirked as her horn glowed. The white flame was caught in her aura and circled her bed before coming back at Trixie, only three times larger.
Trixie coughed as Sunset levitated a fire extinguisher over to the newly forming hole in her wall. The blackened fox pony fell over as the flames on her were put out. “This is why a fire user should not live in a tree.”
Trixie floated through the wooden floor while Sunset flopped back into bed. Both of them were ready to be done with the night, though Trixie couldn’t help but feel… irked. I am really getting tired of these mares getting lucky. Next time I swear I will win!
Even with how Luna still is in this point of this story, even she should have felt that nightmare.
Loved Trixie and her gifts and attitude
Maybe it's time to have Twilight and Trixie sit down and talk things out, preferably after another fight with Sunset and Celestia there to make sure they behave.
This is cute, but it sucks that Sunset was mean to Trixie after Trixie had just helped her out with her bad dreams. Trixie was the good one in the part. Hopefully she gets even with Sunset.
Eh, I prefer chrome.

A cookie for this one.
6060052 I... I don't get it.
6060441
Firefox.
6060604 Ah, got it. I prefer chrome as well.

Ok To keep it clean. Have twaith find the magic comic book store and she gets sucked into one of the comic's.
In this comic could be sombra or whatever of your choosing.
I'd give this book, comment driven one, a 9.5/10. Why decimals? Cuz I play hard. And nothing is perfect.
I was laughing at a lot of the things that were happening in the beginning, Like downdraft of cold air brought to me by twaith. It got more into things. I don't see anything wrong other than 1 or 2 spelling errors (This doesn't mean grammar.)
I like this book over all. If anyone see's this book read it it's a nice fun read.

Personally, I like IE. ...This will get disliked, won't it? Stupid browser that runs well when used properly....
6061568 Nah. Just, I switched to chrome one day and it's what I'm used to. If I had kept with Safari, that would probably be my favorite. Just depends on what you're used to.

Firefox will always be superior. Plus it doesn't send all your data to Google.
6060052 I liked Opera until they messed up the bookmarking thing.
TRIXUNE'S ORIGIN STORY! PREFERABLY TINGED WITH A BIT OF SADNESS, BUT HAPPY IN THE END!
6065134 ironically, the doc that is linked in the author's note kind of explains how she was made.
6065151 Expand on it! That can lead up to at least five chapters! Or more if you go for the whole abused whole life, turns to bad side, redeems herself and is reborn story! I can help if you want!
6066737 Most characters should stay mainly to canon. As for Trixie, I am sorry that she mainly has her pride, but little else, but the problem is that her profession made up much of who she is in the show, so it is difficult to show that side of her.
As for the deviations in canon, it's partially because I don't want to just retell the show. Having fun with the fact that it is an AU should be something the author does, instead of just one small change and that's it. I know Twaith is a major change, but this thinking is why I've added things like Flutterbat. Anyways, I suggest making comments on scenes or scenarios you might want to see then, as I've only really been getting comments for Trixune or others then Twaith ever since I went story mode, and that limits what I can do.

I can see your point, but it seems that anywhere I go on the Internet, IE is especially hated. The other browsers have varying opinions or perks, while IE just seems to be cast down into infamy.
6067670 What my guess is that one update for IE was similar to the 'upgrade' that was Windows 8, so people switched. Even if IE resolved the problem, that kind of fuck up can leave a large stain on something.
6067896
Well that explains the name change in Windows 10....
Isn't one of her atomatic powers giving those around her good luck?
who is better then me
This is why a fire use should not live in a tree
1. Than.
2. User.
This story... such a hodge-podge of ideas.
It's a nightmare.
This amuses me.
"Next time, Trixie will be the one getting lucky!"
"Why are you smirking at Trixie?"
