A few days after the incident with Gilda we find Ash helping Twilight work on her spells along with Spike "come on Twilight you can do it" Spike said encouragingly "okay here goes" Twilight said as she started channeling magic into her horn. A few moments later moustaches appeared on Ash and Spikes faces "ha-ha you did it." Spike said as he walked over to a check list and crossed out the spell's name "grooming magic that's number 25. 25 different kinds of tricks and counting." Spike praised "wow Twilight 25 tricks you're really awesome at magic." Ash congratulated causing Twilight to blush at the praise "right and I think that this is the best trick so far. Hello Rarity. What's that? Aww, it's nothing just my awesome moustache." Spike said fantasizing Rarity fawning over his moustache while looking in a mirror.

"He does know that he's not keeping it right?" Ash said getting a nod from Twilight "Ash is right Romeo as attractive and enticing as you look it's just for practice and it's got to go." Twilight said as she started undoing the spell on her two roommates. "Wait!" Spike shouted before his and Ash's moustaches disappeared "oh, rats." Spike said in disappointment causing his roommates to give out a good natured chuckle "come on Spike maybe a walk through town will make you feel better." Ash said "Ash is right let's go" Twilight said and with that they headed out to town.

"25, Twilight. 25 different kinds of tricks and counting." Spike repeated but then asked a question that was bothering him "I thought Unicorns were supposed to know a little magic that matched their special talents?" Spike questioned "true for Ponies who's talents are cooking, or singing, or math, but what if a Unicorn's special talent is magic?" She questioned "like you Twilight and you know a ton of magic." Spike said "I agree with Spike you're really awesome when it comes to magic." Ash said making her smile "oh guys stop I'm sure that there's a ton of ponies right here in Ponyville that knows just as much as magic as me." Twilight said "are you kidding? I don't think there's a single pony in Equestria Twilight." Spike said when a voice called out "coming through!" Suddenly Spike is tackled by two blurs.

"Snips? snails? What's going on?" Spike questioned as they came to a stop cause the little Dragon to go flying "oh you haven't heard?" The Orange unicorn known as Snails questioned before answering the little Dragon "there is a new unicorn in town." he said "yeah they say that she has more magical powers than any other unicorn ever." A random pony said in a fanboy voice "really?" Twilight questioned nervously "aw, no way that honor goes to Twilight here." Spike praised "Spike's right if anypony has more magical powers it's her." Ash said getting Twilight to blush at the praise before turning to the ponies "where is this new unicorn?" She asked "she's in the town square. Come on." Snails said "yeah, come on. Whoo-hoo." Snips said before they sped off towards the town square with Ash, Twilight, and Spike following them.

In the town square.

"Come one, come all, come and witness the amazing magical powers of the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Said a blue pony wearing a cape and hat as her wagon transforms into a stage "watch in awe as the Great and Powerful Trixie performs the most spectacular feats ever witnessed by pony eyes!" The pony now known as Trixie shouted.

"My, my, my-what boasting." Rarity said "come on no pony is more magical than Twi-Twi-Twi-oh! Hey, Rarity i uh...MOUSTACHE!" Spike said before running off leaving a confused Rarity behind "there's nothing wrong with being talented, is there?" Twilight questioned "nothing at all" Applejack said "cept when someone goes around showing it off like a school filly with fancy new ribbons" she added as Trixie summoned a bouquet of flowers for herself.

"Just because one has the ability to perform lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us." Rarity said making Twilight look down in worry "yeah especially when you have me around being better than the rest of us." Rainbow said proudly only to receive a glare from Applejack "uh, I mean-yeah magic shmagic. boo!" Rainbow said "good save." Ash said "well well well: looks like we have some nay-Sayers in the audience. Who is so ignorant as to challenge the magical powers of the Great and powerful Trixie? Don't they know that they're in the presence of the most magical unicorn in all of Equestria?" Trixie questioned which angered Twilight`s friends "who does she think she is?" Rarity questioned "yeah since we all know that Twilight is-"before Spike could finish his sentence Twilight interupted "Spike, shh" she whispered while pushing him to the side "what? What's wrong" Spike asked "you saw how they reacted to Trixie I don't want anyone thinking I'm a show-off." Twilight said before hearing rainbow speak.

"So great and powerful Trixie, what makes you think you're so awesome anyway?" She questioned Trixie chuckled "Heh, why, only the Great and Powerful Trixie has magic strong enough to vanquish the dreaded ursa major!" Trixie declared as fanfare and fireworks went off "Ahh!" The audience gasped "What?" Snips questioned "No way!" Snails said "When all hope was lost, the ponies of Hoofington had no one to turn to, but the Great and Powerful Trixie stepped in, and with her awesome magic, vanquished the ursa major and sent it back to its cave deep within the Everfree Forest!" Trixie explained proudly as the crowd cheers. "Saw, sweet!" Snips and Snails said together "That settles it." Snips said "Trixie truly is the most talented, the most magical, the most awesome unicorn in Ponyville." Snails continued "No, in all of Equestria!" Snips finished causing Spike to look at them "How do you know? You didn't see it! And besides, Twi— [zip!] Mmph! M-mmph!" He was going to say before Twilight shut his mouth with her magic.

"[laughter] It's true, my enthusiastic little admirers. Trixie is most certainly the best in Ponyville." Trixie boasted while the crowd stood in silence. "Don't believe the Great and Powerful Trixie? [chuckles] Well then, I hereby challenge you, Ponyvillians. Anything you can do, I can do better. Any takers? Anyone? Hmm? Or is Trixie destined to be the greatest equine who has ever lived!?" Trixie challenged "Please! She's unbearable! Ya gotta show her! Ya just gotta!" Spike begged Twilight after managing free his mouth "There's no way I'm going to use my magic now, Spike. Especially since—" Twilight was about to say before she was interrupted by Trixie "Hmm, how about you?" Trixie questioned making Twilight gulp "Well, how about it? Hm? Is there anything you can do that the Great and Powerful Trixie can't?" Trixie challenged.

"I— I—" Twilight stammered unable to answer "Well, little hayseed?" Trixie asked with a taunt "That's it! I can't stand for no more of this!" Applejack shouted "You show her, AJ!" Spike cheered as Applejack walked on stage "Can your magical powers do this?" She said before doing a bunch of rope tricks "yeah go Applejack." Ash cheered "Top that, missy." Applejack said after she was done but Trixie just smirked "Oh ye of little talent. Watch and be amazed at the magic of Trixie!" She said as she used her magic on Applejack's rope "Whoa! Uh!" AJ said in surprise as she was tied up causing the crowd to laugh "Once again, the Great and Powerful Trixie prevails." Trixie boasted "There's no need to go struttin' around and showin' off like that." Rainbow said as she flew above the audience "oh?" Trixie questioned mockingly "That's my job!" Rainbow stated before doing some of her tricks.

"Nice moves Rainbow" Ash praised as Rainbow landed on the stage "They don't call me "Rainbow" and "Dash" for nothin'!" She said getting the audience to cheer "When Trixie is through, the only thing they'll call you is loser." Trixie said as she uses her magic to make Rainbow fly around uncontrollably "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa-a-a-a! [gulp] I think I'm [gulp] gonna be sick." Rainbow said as Trixie laughed "Seems like anypony with a dash of good sense would think twice before tussling with the Great Trixie" she said before making Rainbow crash into the ground "ow!" Rainbow said as the crowd laugh "What we need is another unicorn to challenge her. Someone with some magic of her own." Spike said giving Twilight a look "Yeah! A unicorn to show this unicorn who's boss." Rainbow added " A real unicorn to unicorn tussle." Applejack said as they looked at Twilight making her nervous.

"Uh..." She said hesitantly before Rarity spoke up "Enough, all of you. I take your hint, but Rarity is above such nonsense. Rainbow Dash and Applejack may behave like ruffians, but Rarity conducts herself with beauty and grace." She said about to walk away before hearing Trixie speak "Ooo, what's the matter? Afraid you'll get a hair out of place in that rat's nest you call a mane?" She mocked getting a glare from Rarity "Oh, it. Is. On! You may think you're tough with all of your so-called powers, but there's more to magic than your brutish ways. A unicorn needs to be more than just muscle. A unicorn needs to have style." Rarity said as as used her magic to strut around in her latest fashion getting an "Ooh!" From the crowd "if there's one thing thing Rarity excels at better than anypony it's fashion." Ash said as Rarity continued modeling her dress "A unicorn is not a unicorn without grace and beauty." She said as Spike cheered "that's right Rarity won't let Trixie get the best of her! She's strong, she's beautiful, she's—" he didn't finish his sentence as Trixie used her magic on Rarity's mane causing the audience to gasp.

"Quick! I need a mirror! Get me a mirror! What did she do to my hair? I know she did something terrible to my hair!" Rarity said in panic making her friends look at her nervously "Nothing." Twilight said "It's fine." Rainbow added "It's gorgeous." Applejack said "It's green." Spike said before seeing his friends glare at him "what?" He questioned "Ugh, no. Green hair! Not green hair! [cries] Such an awful, awful color! [cries]" Rarity said in despair "Well, I never!" A random pony said feeling insulted by that comment Rarity was about to run back home when Ash walked up to her "Rarity calm down and look at me." He said getting her to look at him "it's fine just close your eyes and count to ten." He said as she does as he instructed and begun counting suddenly she and Ash started glowing blue "is Ash using his aura?" Rainbow questioned "looks like it." Applejack said as the glow stopped causing Rarity to open her eyes to see that her mane was back to normal making her smile happily "oh thank you, thank you Ash you're the best!" She said gratefully making him smile "no problem Rarity always happy to help." He said getting a smile from his friends before turning back to Trixie who still had a smug smile on her face.

"Well Twilight, guess it's up to you. Come on, show her what you're made of." Spike said "What do you mean? I'm nothing special." Twilight said nervously getting a look of disbelief from Spike "Yes, you are! You're better than her!" He said "I'm not better than anyone." She said as she was about to walk away before Trixie spoke up "Hah! You think you're better than the Great and Powerful Trixie? You think you have more magical talent? Well, come on, show Trixie what you've got. Show us all." Trixie goaded making Twilight look around nervously she was about to refuse when she suddenly heard Ash speak "alright how about you shut up Trixie!" He said getting a gasp from Trixie "excuse me don't you know who you're talking to I'm the great and powerful—" "I SAID SHUT UP!" Ash interrupted causing his friends to stare at him in surprise as they haven't seen him this angry since the incident with Gilda "I don't care who you are or how powerful you are that doesn't give you the right to treat others like a joke and it definitely doesn't give you the right to pick on my friends!" He said getting a scoff from Trixie "well you have a lot of nerve to talk to Trixie like that need I remind you that I defeated an Ursa Major." She said "then show us your proof!" Ash said surprising everypony including Trixie.

"What?" Trixie questioned "you heard me if you're as powerful as you say you are then show us proof that you defeated an Ursa Major!" Ash challenged getting Trixie to stammer in response "well uh, wh-why should I have to show you proof when the great and powerful Trixie has already demonstrated her power?" She questioned nervously "to prove you're not a liar." Ash said getting everypony to look at him as he continues speaking "where I come from I participated in something called gym battles and whenever I won I got the gym's official badge as proof so unless you can prove that you defeated an Ursa Major then all you did was show just how much of a self-centered bully you really are!" Ash shouted before walking away leaving a shocked Trixie behind while his friends watched him leave with smiles on their faces "HA! That was awesome!" Rainbow said getting a nod from Applejack "sure was I don't think Trixie saw that coming!" She said with a chuckle "indeed Ash sure put that blowhard in her place." Rarity said in agreement with nothing else to do everypony went home.

Later that night

after calming down Ash walked down the stairs to find Twilight reading "Twilight are you alright?" He questioned in concern with her behaviour earlier today "oh I'm alright I just had a little disagreement with Spike though I should be asking you that after what happened with Trixie." She said getting a chuckle from Ash "well you know me mess with my friends then you'll have to deal with me." He said with a laugh getting her to laugh with him "so what was your disagreement with Spike about?" He questioned knowing the answer "he tried to convince me to show up Trixie and I said no." Twilight answered "is it because you're afraid that you'll come off as a show-off to our friends?" Ash questioned causing her to look down "what if they think I'm no better than Trixie and no longer wants to be my friends?" She questioned worryingly though lets out a gasp of surprise when Ash suddenly hugs her causing her to blush "Twilight it will be alright your friends will never abandon you." He said reassuringly getting Twilight to look at him "are you sure?" She questioned still unsure "yes I am you're nothing like Trixie and they know it have faith in them and they'll stand by you no matter what." He said with a smile getting her to smile back before anything else could be said Spike suddenly bursts into the room surprising the two "Spike what's wrong?" Twilight asked the little Dragon "we have a problem!" Spike said in a panic "what kind of problem" Ash questioned before getting his answer in the form of a roar "a major one" Spike said before the three ran outside.

In the town square

As soon as they got to the heart of town they see a giant bear that looks like it was cut out of the cosmos rampaging through town "how did this Ursa get here?" Ash questioned "we brought it here." Snips said "You what!?" Twilight questioned "Don't worry, the Great and Powerful Trixie will vanquish it." Snails said confidently "I can't." Trixie said surprising her two fans "What!?" They shouted "Oh, I can't, I never have. No one can vanquish an ursa major. I just made the whole story up to make me look better." She confessed shocking them even more "Made it up!?" They said in disappointment before they noticed the Ursa towering over them and screamed as it was about to crash them when suddenly it's eyes were covered in a blue glow they look to see Ash covered in the same glow "Twilight I'm using my aura to distract the Ursa but I don't know how long I can keep it up hurry and use your magic." He said getting a nod from her before she starts using her magic to create a breeze that blows against a couple of broken cattails.

"Nice use of number sixteen." Spike said impressed Twilight then uses her magic to levitate a water tower towards a barn where she magically milks a bunch of cows creating a giant baby bottle "That's new." Spike said as Twilight levitates the giant bottle into the Ursa's mouth as it fell asleep before she levitates the Ursa itself back into the Everfree Forest after the Ursa was gone Twilight powered her magic down before hearing the town cheer "Unbelievable!" Rainbow said "That was amazing!" Spike said "Heavens to Betsy! We knew you had ability, but not that much!" Applejack said impressed by her friends skill "I'm sorry. Please, please don't hate me." Twilight said suddenly "Hate you?" Rarity, Rainbow, and Applejack questioned "Why, whatever do you mean, darling?" Rarity questioned in confusion "Well, I know how much you all hated Trixie's showing off with her magic tricks, and I just thought-" Twilight said before Rainbow interrupted her "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Magic's got nothing to do with it. Trixie's just a loudmouth." Rainbow said "Most unpleasant." Rarity agreed "All hat and no cattle." Applejack said "So, you don't mind my magic tricks?" Twilight questioned "Your magic is a part of who you are, sugarcube, and we like who you are. We're proud to have such a powerful, talented unicorn as our friend." Applejack said making Twilight smile "And after whuppin' that ursa's hindquarters, we're even prouder." Rainbow said "You are?" Twilight questioned getting a nod from the three "see? I told you that they'd stand by you no matter what." Ash said getting her to smile at him.

"Wow, Twilight, how'd you know what to do with that ursa major?" Spike questioned "That's what I was doing when you came looking for me. I was so intrigued by Trixie's bragging that I was compelled to do a little reading up on them." Twilight explained "So it is possible to vanquish an ursa major all by yourself?" Spike asked with curiosity in his voice "That wasn't an ursa major. It was a baby, an ursa minor." Twilight said surprising everypony "That was just a baby?" Trixie said shocked that something that big was just a baby "And it wasn't rampaging. It was just cranky because someone woke it up." Twilight said while giving Snips and Snails a glare causing them to smile sheepishly "Well, if that was an ursa minor, then what's an ursa major like?" Spike questioned making Twilight remember the picture of an ursa major she saw while researching them "You don't wanna know." She said as Trixie walked up to her "Huh. You may have vanquished an ursa minor, but you will never have the amazing, show-stopping ability of the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Trixie boasted before running off "Why, that little..." Rainbow said about to give chase before Twilight stopped her "Just let her go. Maybe someday she'll learn her lesson." Twilight said before turning to Snips and Snails.

"Now, about you two." She said as the two walked up to her "Ah [nervous laughter]. Uh, we're sorry that we woke up the ursa minor." Snips apologies "We just wanted to see some awesome magic." Snails said equally as sorry about what they did "Yeah! And the way you vanquished that ursa minor was awesome!" Snips said as they bowed in apology "For starters, you can clean up this mess." Twilight said "okay" they said "And... What do you think, Spike? Should I give them number twenty five?" She questioned making Spike smile "Oh, twenty five! Yes! And I think I deserve it, too." Spike said confusing Snips and Snails before Twilight used her magic to make Make moustaches appear on their faces "sweet!" They said before cleaning up the town.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

I have learned a very valuable lesson about friendship: I was so afraid of being thought of as a show-off that I was hiding a part of who I am. My friends helped me realize that it's okay to be proud of your talents, and there are times when it's appropriate to show them off... Especially when you're standing up for your friends."

"So, you finally admit that you're the most talented unicorn in all of Ponyville?" Spike questioned as he Ash and Twilight rested in their home "Well, yeah, but it's nothing to brag about. " Twilight said making Ash chuckle "well said Twilight." Ash said causing her to blush "So, uh, how did it go with Rarity?" Twilight questioned "Eh, she didn't go for the mustache." Spike said sadly "You know, Spike, that mustache has nothing to do with who you really are. Maybe you should just try being yourself." Twilight said "she's right Spike" Ash agreed "Or... Maybe the mustache wasn't enough. Maybe if I had a mustache and a beard?" Spike said causing Twilight to groan "Uh, not this again!" She said as Spike started going on and on about the different types of beard and moustache combos causing Ash to laugh at his roommate's reaction. What other adventures await our hero tune in next time as the journey continues.
