Curtain Call

The last silk scarf in the string was wrapped around the stem of a rose. Jack Pot winked, finishing his slight-of-hoof by passing the flower over. "For the most beautiful filly in Equestira."

Trixie clapped her hooves with joy.

With the final good-night magic trick done, Jack Pot pulled the blanket up and finished tucking Trixie into bed. "Now remember, Daddy is going off on tour. He's not going to see his best assistant for a while, so what do you say?"

"Break a leg!" Trixie beamed, her smile missing a tooth.

"Atta girl," he said with a smile right back. Leaning close, Jack Pot kissed his daughter's forehead before shutting off the light and heading out of the room.

At the door, he paused and looked back. "I love you, Trixie."

"Love you too daddy."

Then he closed the door and Trixie never saw him again.
