"One-a These Days! Bang! Zoom! To the Lulamoon, Alice!"

"Bearing!"

Starlight hesitated.

"Bearing!," Trixie repeated.

"Fifty-three degrees zenith, fourteen azimuth."

"Light me!"

Again, Starlight hesitated. "This is a really bad idea, Trixie."

The magician looked down from the cannon's barrel. "Star~light, this is my destiny! To be the first non-alicorn on the moon! Now light the fuse!" Lightly pouting, she bit her lip. "Please?"

Starlight sighed heavily, and lit the fuse with the tip of her horn.

"You're the best, Starlight." And that's all Trixie said before she slid back down into her cannon.

Fifteen seconds later, it boomed and the unicorn rocketed into the starry night sky.

Equestria flew past in a blur as Trixie soared, moving at speeds she couldn't comprehend. But she didn't need to - all she needed was to keep her eyes on the pale disc of the moon.

Trixie smiled. This was her birthright - her destiny. Tonight? She owned the sky and the stars.

Well, according to the comics Equestria's Moon is habitable, so if Starlight has taught her that self-levitation trick she might just make a safe landing. Getting back, though...

(possibly that problem will be solved for her after she writes her name in huge letters on the Lunar surface)

"Or maybe Trixie can't spell any better than she can plan," muttered Starlight to herself. "Can we organize a rescue party now?"
