Trixie walked grumpily through the halls of Canterlot Castle. "Oh, why did Trixie even agree to helping her?" she moaned. "This sucks! Trixie doesn't want to go back to normal!"
She sighed. She had just gained all these new powers, she didn't want to give them up already. The azure mare had just learned how to fly, she wanted to experience a Wonderbolts show in Cloudsdale! She wanted to have a tour of the weather factory, she wanted to soar through the air...
She was so preoccupied in her moping around that she wasn't paying attention to where she was headed. Her head impacted with something soft and fleshy, knocking her on to her flank.
"Ow ow ow!" she said, rubbing her horn.
"Eep!"
Trixie looked up towards the source of the noise. Standing before her was a purple pony wearing a dress and wide-brimmed hat, rubbing her flank. Trixie's horn had poked her.
"You should watch where you're standing! Ponies like Trixie could hurt themselves!"
The hatted mare looked up at Trixie. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed. She started to turn around, but did a double take. "Trixie? What are you doing here?"
Trixie eyes the mare in suspicion. "How do you know Trixie's name? Are you following her? Trixie appreciates fans, but going so far as to stalk her seems a tad much, don't you think?"
The purple mare rolled her eyes. "Trixie, it's me, Twilight. From Ponyville."
Trixie raised a brow. "Trixie doesn't know anypony by the name of Twilight," she said. The hatted mare growled and muttered something under her breath. "Trixie didn't catch that. Stop wasting her time!" she snapped.
"Apparently, you can't even bother to remember my first name. It's me, Sparkle."
Trixie went wide-eyed. "Ohh!" she exclaimed. "Sparkle! Trixie heard that this is all your fault and you may have accidentally doomed Equestria to death! Nice one!"
Twilight looked at the ground and kicked a hoof, embarrassed. "Yeah..."
"Well, good job on that one, Sparkle! Did you know that you failed so spectacularly that the princess called me to Canterlot for the sole purpose of fixing your mistake?"
This was new information to Twilight. "R-really?" she stuttered. Trixie nodded, and the purple mare sighed. "Great, I failed something so hard they had to get an amateur to fix my mistakes..."
Trixie glared. "Trixie is not an amateur!" she screamed. "She will prove it to you! I challenge you to a magic duel!"
"I would love to take you up on your offer, Trixie, but... I can't right now. I'm... busy."
Trixie scoffed. "There is always time for The Great and Powerful Trixie! Prepare yourself, Sparkle!"
"I-I just can't right now!"
Trixie glared. "You will duel Trixie right now!" she shouted. Using her magic, she lifted Twilight into the air and shook her, hoping to snap her into her senses. Surely, nopony in their right mind would decline the chance to spend any amount of time with Trixie, even if they were going to get their flank kicked in a duel. The vigorous motions of the shaking caused Twilight's hat to fly off her head, revealing her missing horn. Trixie gasped.
"Sparkle! Trixie doesn't wish to alarm you, but... Oh, whatever. Sparkle, somepony stole your horn."
Twilight glared. "You think I don't know that? Please Trixie, just leave me alone." Trixie rolled her eyes.
"Fine. But for future reference, you are no fun at all."
---
Trixie collapsed on the bed Luna had graciously offered her. She was still disappointed that she would have to give up her new wings, but her mood had been lifted by her chance meeting with Sparkle. To think, Sparkle had lost her own horn! It was laughable, the way fate turned out. Maybe, when this was all over, the Princess would banish Sparkle, and take Trixie on as her student? Trixie smiled. That would be great. The mare used her magic to lift the bed sheets and snuggled in.
Tomorrow, she would get to work learning that spell.
Worse Trixie — You lose your wings and Twilight gets her horn back if you cast the spell. Such a great result.
1728672 Eeyup. Trixie has all the reason not to do it she needs, and all the reasons for it too. So much tension lays on Trixie right now, it's not even funny.
1728688
Eh, don't worry about it.
Everything will work out in the end... for me.
I'm not being more specific than that! haha~
1728672
Granted, if Trixie of all people manages to get good enough at magic that she casts a spell that Luna believes she, a Physical God, would never be able to cast, Trixie might be legitimately as powerful as when she was wearing the alicorns amulet. Just without the craziness(I don't trust wheels! I can't see what's happening when somebodies using stage magic, which is my special talent, right in front of me!) that the amulet bestows.
Great, not only have you brought one of the most annoying ponies to the story, but she has to fix this mistake that ends up with the Great and Powerful Trixie losing her wings...

I am so waiting for the next chapter.
First, MY LAPTOP'S CHARGER IS FIXED! HURRAH! Well, it'll work until I can get a new one, anyway. I swear, this fucking computer is from an alternate universe where everything has a weird connection... Wait, off-topic.
I certainly hope Trixie uses her ULTIMATE POWER to defeat the ALICORN MAGIC CHANGE THING and SAVES THE WORLD. Also, if you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long-lost pal. I can call you Betty, and Betty you can call me Al.
>> Karna - She would be no more powerful than Twilight, as she cast the spell in the first place, and Luna's having some self esteem problems; possibly due to her position as full-time princess until the situation is resolved, which could remind her of her time as NMM; so she's relying on somepony else powerful enough to seal the deal. Also, if Luna performs the spell, she could become an earth pony as a result, so it's possibly a suicide mission, with her unicorn and pegasus magic as payment, putting pressure back onto Celestia. Besides, Magic Duel is an episode on revenge, and revenge is a powerful motivator, and motivation is what fanfic writers need to continue their stories, so...Trixie, show us your magic.
Yay, more spoiler attempts:
1) If i'm right, when she cast's the spell, all of the alicorns should turn into earth ponies, especially her, and all earth ponies would be turned into alicorns (except those lucky enough to be in Luna's magic-proof room at the time). Make the connection, and find the possible result...
2) If the spell returns everypony back to normal, then a canon-ending is expected...bring on the friendship reports...
3) Or if all else fails,
Trixie, quit being such a female Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilueblood.
I had other words in mind, but none of them seemed sufficient.

Still completely wrong. I swear, the moment I publish the last chapter, everyone will simultaneously un-favourite this story.
1731682 Oh come on, it can't be that bad!
....can it?
1733207
Remember, I started writing this just for fun, and never imagined anybody would like it. So I picked an ending I thought would be funny. I thought would be funny. I doubt any of you people will like it.
1733268 I have a pretty weird sense of humor. Don't automatically assume nopony will like it. Write it anyways!
spoiler guess: everypony explodes
1733379
Spoiler guess is wrong.
1733385 Dangit.
Oh well. I wonder what will happen next?
Does everypony die in a comical way? no wait.
1728910YAY!
Why does noone remember what the spell actually did do?
1. Turns caster into (earth?)pony without any magic(seems likely)
2. Turns any alicorns into ^
3. Turns any non-alicorn into alicorns
So Luna shouldn't cast the spell because then she'd lose her power and if Trixie casts it she would have to hide in her room again. Also Trixie would propably lose her horn too, so I'm all for having Trixie or Blueblood casting the spell.
2121230 The spell was intended to turn one pony into an Alicorn. Maybe it's just me, but getting someone to cast that spell on Twilight and Celestia would be an excellent first step. I mean if anyone could reverse the spell it'd be one of those two and I'd bet copying a finished spell is easier than reversing one.
And I don't think Twilight's an earth pony. I think she's more like a unicorn that's lost her magic. She just resembles an earth pony. Same with Celestia.
