Nopony could remember a time when it had rained so hard.
At least, that was what the newspaper said, but Twilight never believed the newspaper.
"That's certainly not true. There wasn't a drop of rain that night!"
"Just hurry up and read it," begged Spike. "We're gonna be up all night if you're gonna nitpick it."
Twilight sighed and continued reading her copy of The Equestrian Inquirer, Ponyville's newest tabloid newspaper. 80% of the cover was occupied by a picture of "The Great and Powerful Trixie."
Twilight read on: Thanks to the efforts of the Great and Powerful Trixie, the most talented unicorn in all of Equestria, a rampaging Ursa Major was vanwished.
"Ugh. That's not what happened at all! And who wrote this? They misplaced the subject-verb agreement, and that's NOT how you spell 'vanquished.'"
Spike facepalmed himself. "Why don't you just skip the part to where they mention you?"
Twilight skimmed through the article. Perfect magical form….stylish choice in hats…..a new hero for generations to come… "Aha! Here it is!" Twilight pointed to a tiny blurred picture of herself, which Spike had to squint to see properly. She read the tiny footnotes below her picture, becoming more enraged after each sentence:
In other news, Ponyville's watertower was VANDALIZED last night. Twilight Sparkle, the town Know-it-all Egghead, used magic to topple the precious watertower in a pathetic attempt to upstage the Great and Powerful Trixie. There have also been reports of dairy farm theft to topple Miss Sparkle's already heinous crime. If you see this pony, approach with caution, and report her felonies to the Mayor at once!
By the time she finished reading, Twilight had caught on fire…again. "THIS IS A DISGRACE TO LITERATURE! WHO WROTE THIS GARBAGE?!"
The article's authors did not surprise her: Snips and Snails.
