MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC

EPISODE 6: BOAST BUSTERS (RE-EDIT)

Chapter 1: The Accident

"...Was there ever any doubt," The magical unicorn said dryly as she began to walk off stage. However she was interrupted by a shrill voice, belonging to none other than Pinkie Pie.

"Wait one itty-bitty moment!" The pink pony stomped her hoof down, redrawing the attention of the dying crowd. Trixie twisted her head back as soon as Pinkie's words were uttered. The unicorn almost let out a humoring giggle, seeing the pink pony donned in her one-girl party gear.

"This isn't a comedy competition little girl..." Trixie scoffed.

"You said you could do any-thing better than any-pony else! And to be honest, nobody throws a good party like me!" Pinkie Pie invited herself onto the stage, staring down her opponent.

"Oh really?" Trixie smirked, raising an eyebrow, "and you didn't notice the opening effects from before?" The unicorn rubbed the fact in the pink pony's face. "Because I can easily refresh your memory!"

"Oh I saw alright!" The pink pony replied, pulling a lever on the side of her costume. Several rows of fireworks, bottle rockets, and fire crackers extended from both sides. The spectacle had almost intimidated Trixie as she took a few steps back in caution. "Stand back every-pony!" Pinkie Pie warned the crowd and unicorn before grabbing hold of the same lever again with her mouth.

The majority of the crowd hit the dirt as Pinkie's explosive projectiles soared through the air. Ear piercing whistles cut through the air as a dark fog of the fireworks' exhaust covered the area. Every-pony was blinded in a thick haze. Even the all amazing Trixie wasn't prepared for what was in store for her.

"Watch out!" Pinkie Pie tried to warn the unicorn as a bottle rocket blazed towards her direction. Unfortunately the pony's advice was a tad late as the projectile ricocheted off of Trixie's horn, applying enough force to render the poor unicorn unconscious. "Oh my! I didn't mean for that to happen!" The pink pony cried out as she watched Trixie tumble to the floor.

The accident had gone unnoticed by the audience, who were too busy cowering for their lives, their shrill hollers for help drowning each others out. No one had any idea what had taken place on stage. In a matter of moments, Pinkie's one girl parade had come to a halt. Rainbow Dash took the responsibility of blowing the massive smokescreen away.

"I didn't mean it!" Pinkie Pie was completely exposed to the audience, ducking and shaking in fear of what just happened. It took the recovering crowd a few seconds to soak up the scene. Some gasped in fear, some ran for safety, others were speechless and petrified. Twilight sparkle was the first to speak up.

"Pinkie Pie, what happened?" The purple unicorn climbed onto stage, approaching her unstable friend as her eyes kept trained on the motionless unicorn.

"I... I tried to warn her!" The pink pony burst into tears, already remorseful.

"...You mean Trixie?" Twilight had broken away from the sobbing pony to further inspect the victim of the whole mess.

"...Y-Yes," Pinkie replied, snorting up the snot that was running down her nose.

"Hmmm..." The purple unicorn leaned down, checking Trixie's pulse with a hoof and ear, "...She's alright, just a little dazed is all," Twilight confirmed.

"Oh?" Pinkie's tears had instantly stopped. "So she's not dead?" The pink pony sprang to her feet, shedding the rest of her gear off. The whole gang gathered around the unconscious unicorn. Fluttershy began to speak her mind.

"Oh my... How dreadful," The yellow pegasus winced at the body, feeling more than just sympathetic.

"Don't worry every-pony," Twilight reassured her friends, "she just needs some time to rest."

"Well I reckon I could take her in for awhile," Applejack volunteered as she walked over to Trixie, setting aside her bitterness.

"Great!" Twilight nodded with a smile, "as for the rest of us, I think we should clean this place up a bit..."

"Hey Twi," Applejack called, "I think you might wanna take a look at this," the orange pony motioned for her friend with a hoof.

"What is it Applejack?" The purple unicorn asked as she turned back over to the body.

"I can't describe it, but...Eh, why don't you have a gander for yourself," The orange pony flinched as she slowly removed Trixie's pointy hat.

"...W-What, I don't even..." Twilight was at a loss for words as she carefully examined the sight. A lone wand protruded where the motionless unicorn's horn used to be, no traces of blood, but a bruise encircled the base of the wand.

"...I think I know how she pulls off all her stunts now," Applejack concluded as she placed the magician's hat back on Trixie's head.

"I never seen anything like it," The purple unicorn had to shake the visual from her head. The discussion had drawn the curiosity of Rainbow Dash over.

"What's going on?" The rainbow pegasus asked, eying Trixie up cautiously.

"N-nothing!" Applejack replied instantly, not wanting Dash to witness what they had.

"It doesn't seem like nothing," Dash smirked, knowing something was up.

"...Let's just say," Twilight started, "that Trixie isn't really a unicorn..."

"Huh?" The confused pegasus retracted her head a bit.

"We'll explain later Dash, just focus on cleaning, I'm gonna escort Applejack and Trixie back to my place." Twilight's comment placed the confusion back onto Applejack

"Huh? I thought we were goin' to my place?" The orange pony questioned.

"You were... But now that I've seen the real Trixie for myself, I'm curious to know why she did what she did," a small smile curved on the purple unicorn's lips.

"Alrighty then, just put'er on my back and we'll get goin'," Applejack knelt down, letting Twilight place the dazed unicorn on her back.

"Hmph, fine then," Dash grumbled, feeling left out, "but when she wakes up, I wanna be the first to know!" She shouted as the duo departed with Trixie.
