[FRIENDSHIP SAGA] Chapter 8: In With The New Stranger: Trixie, The Great and The Powerful!
"Remind me exactly what are we doing?" asked Vegeta.
The two saiyans and Spike are, at the moment, helping out Twilight with her talent: Magic. Since Twilight could always see Goku and Vegeta training, she thought about giving herself training, with magic of course. The past two days, she's been reading about book of spells, spells that is quite intermediate to perform. She doubted at first, but Spike insisted and encouraged her to do so. And now here they are, trying to test out the mare's spells she'd learned.
The two saiyans, on the other hand, didn't know what is happening. All they know is that Spike was constantly begging for help. To shut the mouth of the dragon, they went to Twilight. Three are standing right in front of the purple mare, who is currently preparing a spell. Behind them is a list. Most of them were checked by Spike, signing as a success. However, one is left unchecked.
"We are going to help Twilight with her new spell!" said Spike, jumping up and down on his spot, excited about the next spell.
He is unsure of the spell's outcome, but he is willing to try it out. Vegeta grunts in annoyance, ''I didn't remember anything about helping her''
"Oh, C'mon Vegeta, don't be like that. After all, she got inspire of improving her magic because of you two." That statement made Twilight blush, "Now Come on! You can do it!"
"Okay, here goes." Twilight said as she channeled her magic. After she did it, Spike and Vegeta had a mustache while Goku had a beard.
"Woah!" said Spike and Goku, feeling their facial hair, which are permanent.
"Ha ha! Ya did it! Growing magic, that's number twenty-five. Twenty-five different types of tricks and counting. And I think this is the best trick so far. Hello, Rarity. What's that? Aw, it's nothin', just my awesome mustache." Spike said as he admired his mustache.
"This is the result of your training? Growing a mustache?!" said Vegeta, "If you can kindly remove the facial hair…"
"It's not that bad once you get used to it" said Spike
"Yeah cheer up! It's not like Bulma's gonna see this and say: You look old, you should really remove that hair of yours" said Goku as he tries to mock Bulma's voice.
"What did you say?!" said the flaming and embarrassed prince
"Who's Bulma?" asked Spike
''Vegeta's Wife'' said Goku.
''Oh''
"Ok, settle down. Vegeta is right though. As attractive and enticing as you look, it's just for practice, and it's gotta go." Twilight said as she used her magic.
''Wait!'' Spike's mustache then disappeared. ''Aw, rats.''
''Finally.'' said Vegeta
After the performance, Twilight decided to visit one of her friends. She thought about going to the Sugarcube Corner to visit Pinkie and then get some delicious sweets after. With the idea, the saiyans joins the ride. All of them are walking in the streets of Ponyville.
''Twenty-five, Twilight. Twenty-five different kinds of tricks and counting. I thought unicorns were only supposed to have a little magic that matches their special talents.' 'Spike said.
''True, for ponies whose talents are for things like cooking or singing or math. But what if a unicorn's special talent is magic?'' Twilight said.
''Like you, Twilight, and you know a ton of magic.'' Spike said.
''Oh, Spike, stop. I'm sure there are lots of ponies right here in Ponyville that know just as much magic as me.'' Twilight said.
''Are you kiddin'? I don't think there's another unicorn in all of Equestria with your kind of ability, Twilight.'' Spike said. Then two of the biggest idiots, Snips and Snails, are now running their way.
''Gangway! Comin' through!'' Snails said. Twilight and the saiyans get out of the way just as Snails collides with Spike.
''Augh! Snips, Snails! What's goin' on?'' Spike asked the duo while hanging onto Snails.
''Wha, haven't you heard?'' Snails asked the dragon.
''There's a new unicorn in town!'' Snails said.
''Yeah! They say that she's got more magical powers than any other unicorn ever!'' Snips said. This caught Twilight's attention.
''Really?'' Twilight asked.
''I can definitely sense a ki at Town Square. I believe that's where she is'' said Goku
''Yeah! Come on! Whooo!'' Snips said. They then went to the town square.
Most ponies in Ponyville have gathered in Town Square to witness the mare that the duo was talking about. There they could see a wagon, as well as the other members of the mane six.
''Come one, come all! Come and witness the amazing magic of the Great and Powerful Trixie!'' A sapphire blue unicorn said to the crowd.
''Ooh!'' The audience said in awe, well except for the team.
''Watch in awe as the Great and Powerful Trixie performs the most spectacular feats of magic ever witnessed by pony eyes!'' Fireworks briefly filled the air to get some effect.
''My, my, my! What boasting!'' Rarity said with disdain.
''Just like you Vegeta'' said Goku, chuckling at his own statement.
''Shut up!'' muttered the prince.
''There's nothing wrong with being talented, is there?'' Twilight asked the others.
''Nothin' at all, 'cept in when someone goes around showin' it off like a school filly with fancy new ribbons.'' Applejack said.
''Just because one has the ability to perform lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us.'' Rarity said.
''Especially when ya got me around being better than the rest of us.'' Rainbow Dash said. Applejack then glared at her rudely.
''Eh, I mean, yeah, uh, magic shmagic. Boo!''
While the mare kept bragging about how her magic dominates every unicorn's magic. Vegeta comes up to Twilight's ear.
''Well?'' asked Vegeta softly, not wanting to alert the others.
''Well, what?'' asked the purple mare.
''Why don't you show off your magic to the little mare? After all, if you really were inspired by our proud strength and thirst for power, you should prove your worth of training''
''What?!'' said Twilight without startling the crowd nor her friends, ''I can't do that. Have you seen the other how they acted about Trixie?''
''Yeah? What about it?''
''I don't want them to think that I'm a show off''
''Pitiful, and here I thought you were determined to improve yourself. I was wrong''
''Let's not jump into conclusions here.'' Said Goku, ''What sort of magic do you do?''
''Heh, why, only the Great and Powerful Trixie has magic strong enough to vanquish the dreaded Ursa Major!'' Trixie said. More fanfare and fireworks.
''Ahh!'' The audience says in amazement.
''Ursa What-now?'' asked Goku while scratching his head, pondering.
''A constellation you idiot'' said Vegeta
''Not just any constellation. It is a humungous bear that lives deep within the Everfree Forest. A type of animal that you don't want to bump into'' explained Twilight.
''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 said as she used lights
''Aw, sweet!'' Snips and Snails said.
''That settles it.'' Snips said.
''Trixie truly is the most talented, the most magical, the most awesome unicorn in Ponyville.'' Snails said.
''No, in all of Equestria!''
''How do you know?'' Spike said to the two colts. ''You didn't see it! And besides, Twi-'' Spike said until Twilight uses a spell to zip Spike's mouth. ''Mmph! M-mmph!''
''It's true, my enthusiastic little admirers. Trixie is most certainly the best in Ponyville.'' Trixie said. The sound of crickets were the only things heard.
''The dragon has a point'' said Vegeta. ''While it may seem your stories are true, but let's see how your skills are better than your mouth''
''Don't believe the Great and Powerful Trixie? 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!?'' More fireworks and fanfare go off.
Spike unzips the zipper on his mouth, then kneeling on the ground for Twilight ''Please! She's unbearable! You just gotta!'' begged Spike
''There's no way I'm going to use my magic now, Spike. Especially since-'' Twilight said until she sees Trixie looking for a challenge.
''Hmm, how about you!'' Trixie said as she looked at Twilight. Twilight gulped. ''Well, how about it? Hm? Is there anything you can do that the Great and Powerful Trixie can't?''
''I- I'' Twilight said as she couldn't any kind of words to say.
''Alright! This could be fun'' said Goku
''Well, little hayseed?'' Trixie said.
Applejack couldn't bare the mare's boasting. More importantly, she could watch her friend from being pushed around like that. So, she is the first pony to accept the challenge.
''That's it! I can't stand no more for this!'' said Applejack as she climbs onto the stage.
''You show her, AJ!'' Spike said.
''Can your magical powers do this?'' Applejack asked as she started doing tricks with her rope. The crowd cheers at Applejack's performance. ''Top that, missy.''
''Oh ye of little talent. Watch and be amazed at the magic of Trixie!'' Trixie said as she uses her magic to manipulate the rope. Then snake charmer music is heard as the rope moves like a snake.
''Whoa! Uh!'' Applejack is then tied up by the rope. The audience then laughs and cheers at Trixie's performance.
''Once again, the Great and Powerful Trixie prevails.''
''There's no need to go struttin' around and showin' off like that.'' Rainbow Dash said to Trixie as she got on the stage.
''Oh?''
''That's my job!'' After using the windmill in town, she did a few loops on the rudders of the windmill and went into the air and made holes in several clouds and stopped in the sunlight which made a shadow over the crowd. She then went back through the holes causing the moisture from the clouds to follow her as if she was a magnet. She then went back to the windmill and after doing a few more loops came back to the stage. The moisture then hit her on the head and formed a rainbow over her head. ''They don't call me "Rainbow" and ''Dash'' for nothin'!''
''When Trixie is through, the only thing they'll call you is loser.'' Trixie said as she used her magic to form the rainbow into a cyclone. The cyclone then started to twirl Rainbow Dash around.
''Whoa! Whoa! Whoa-a-a-a! I think I'm gonna be sick.'' She was then thrown to where the others are.
''Seems like any pony with a dash of good sense would think twice before tussling with the Great Trixie.'' Trixie then forms a small cloud which then shoots a small bit of lightning which shocks Rainbow Dash on the butt.
''Ow!'' The crowd then laughs at the spectacle.
''What we need is another unicorn to challenge her. Someone with some magic of her own.'' Spike said.
''Yeah! A unicorn to show this unicorn who's boss.'' Rainbow Dash said.
''A real unicorn to unicorn tussle.'' Applejack said.
While Twilight believed that her friends are hinting her, Rarity hinted wrong as she believed that she is the one that her friends is talking about.
''Enough. Enough, all of you. I take your hint, but Rarity is above such nonsense. The lot of you may behave like ruffians…''
''Hmph!'' grunted Vegeta
''…but Rarity conducts herself with beauty and grace.''
''Ooo, what's the matter? Afraid you'll get a hair out of place in that rat's nest you call a mane?''
''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 he used some stuff to make an awesome dress.
''Ooh!''
''A unicorn is not a unicorn without grace and beauty.'' Suddenly, Trixie activates her magic.
''Rarity won't let Trixie get the best of her! She's strong, she's beautiful, she's''- Spike said until he sees something shocking. The crowd gasps.
''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 frantically.
''Nothing.'' Twilight said.
'I't's fine.'' Rainbow Dash said.
''It's gorgeous.'' Applejack said.
''It's green.'' Goku and Spike said. They got a stare from Applejack, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash.
''What she's asking for it'' said Goku
''Ugh, no. Green hair! Not green hair! Such an awful, awful color!'' Rarity said as she ran off while crying.
''Well, I never!'' Golden Harvest said as she too had green hair.
''Well Twilight, guess it's up to you. Come on, show her what you're made of.'' Spike said.
''Well now, in the end you have to do it'' said Vegeta
''What do you mean? I'm nothing special.'' Twilight said.
''Twilight, what are you saying? C'mon that's just crazy talk'' said Goku.
''Hah! Once again, the Great and Powerful Trixie has proven herself to be the most amazing unicorn in all of Equestria. Huh, was there ever any doubt?'' Trixie said.
''Well if you don't have the backbone to stand on your ground. It is time to put your mouth into place'' said Vegeta as he steps into the stage, accepting the challenge.
''You may be magical, but you are not worthy to hold great and powerful. That title will only be mine and mine only''
''Oh? So, you are saying that your magic is better than mine? A weird creature like you should be put in your place'' said Trixie
''Woah Vegeta, calm down. You're not doing what I'm thinking, right?'' said Goku as he is getting a little bit nervous around Vegeta.
''Who, me?'' said the prince while posturing himself to shoot the mare down. ''Not at all Kakarot. Not. At. All''
''I'm thinking of what you're thinking is what will Vegeta be doing'' said Pinkie Pie.
The prince gives a sinister laugh in which made everyone feel uncomfortable. Knowing Vegeta, being prideful is one thing, but overdoing it could ultimately annoy him. Despite his temper, he wouldn't do anything harmless to the mare. He only wants to scare the soul out of her. Giving the laugh was one thing but pulling his next action would cause her downfall.
Goku could somehow anticipate of what Vegeta's going to do next. He could feel his energy rising a little bit. Despite his inner thoughts telling him to wait, he couldn't afford to. So, he quickly grabs Vegeta's arm.
''Stop it Vegeta, before you could hurt anyone'' said Goku in a serious tone.
Vegeta glanced at Goku. The Saiyan then let go of the prince's arm. He then crosses his arms and walks down the stage, giving a soft grunt along the way. Momentarily, the other Saiyan followed. The mare blankly stares of where Vegeta was for a moment. Throughout that scene, she was looking the prince in the eye. His stare was fierce, it is as if he would have killed her moments later. However, those thoughts were shrug off, assumed to be her imagination.
Nonetheless, she thanked every spirit who protected her…
After a while, Trixie's show ended and it is time for her to take a rest. Performing all of those tricks back drained her a lot. If she would have performed one or two more magic, she would get pretty tired. For now, she is grooming her mane with a hair brush.
''Here's your smoothie you asked for, with extra hay, just how you like it.'' Snips said as he brought Trixie the smoothie.
''Mmm, hay.'' Snails said. As Trixie is drinking her smoothie, the two colts were still there.
''Yes?'' Trixie said.
''Ooo, tell us another story Great and Powerful Trixie.'' Snips said.
''Yeah, tell us about how you vanquished the Ursa Major.'' Snails said.
''Guh! Trixie is far too exhausted from performing feats beyond imagination. Begone with you until morning.'' Trixie said.
''Oh, of course, Great and Powerful Trixie.'' Snails said.
''Anything you say. We are at your beck and call.'' Snips said. As Trixie went back inside her wagon, Spike arrives.
''What are you two doin'?'' Spike asked.
''Just bringin' the Gee an' Pee Tee a''- Snips said.
''The what?''
''The Great and Powerful Trixie.''
''Sheesh.''
''Just bringin' her a smoothie.''
''How can you fall for her lameness? She's just a show-off. Unlike Twilight, who-''
''The Great and Powerful Trixie vanquished an Ursa Major. Can your Twilight claim that?''
''Oh really? Were you guys actually there?''
''Well, eh, uh... no, but-''
''But nothin'. The proof is in the pudding.'' Snails then laughs.
''I like pudding.'' Snails said.
''Look, unless an Ursa Major comes waltzing up the street for Trixie to vanquish, I am not gonna believe a word she says, and neither should you!'' Spike said.
''Hm, an ursa walkin' up the street, hey? Snails! Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?'' Snips asked his fellow friend.
''Why is it they call it a flea market when they don't really sell fleas?'' Snails asked Snips.
''Yeah, uh... oh, come on!'' The two then ran off.
Back at the library, Twilight is currently reading a book. The saiyans tried to persuade her to challenge Trixie, but all was in deaf ears.
''Twilight, would you put down that book and just listen to me?'' Spike asked Twilight.
''Didn't you see how they hated Trixie's bragging, Spike? If I go out there and show off my magic, I run the risk of losing them as friends.'' Twilight said as she still looked at her books.
''It's not the same thing, Twilight. You'll be using your magic to stand up for your friends!''
''No, Spike, it's exactly the same.''
''Come on, Twilight, any one of these tricks, even the teeniest, would be enough to show up Trixie.''
''I don't want to be seen as a bragger like Trixie.'' Twilight then made a spell that formed a door in front of Spike. Spike then opened the door.
''But you're the best!''
''Uh. Please, Spike, I said no!''
''If that's the way you want to be, then fine.'' Spike closed the door again. A few seconds later, Spike went out the door and bolted to the original door.
''You think Twilight would get around?'' asked Goku
Vegeta shrugs, ''That mare still has some lessons to learn. Honestly.''
Meanwhile at the Everfree Forest, Snips and Snails entered the Everfree Forest in an attempt to find an Ursa Major. When they entered the cave, it was pitch-black.
''Oh, how we gonna find an Ursa Major when I can't even see my own hoof in front of my face?'' Snips asked.
''Hold on.'' Snails said as he grunted a little and was able to make his horn light up.
''Oh, heh. That's better.'' The two hear a growl. They turn their heads to see the Ursa.
''Yaaaah!'' The idiot duo shout in fright. The Ursa roars. The two then run out of the cave and heard towards Ponyville.
''Hey, guys, where ya goin'?'' Spike asked Snips and Snails.
''Can't talk now.'' Snips said.
''Got a major problem!'' Snails said.
''Yeah, Ursa Major, to be exact.'' Snips said. Spike looked forward and saw a huge beast coming. He high-tailed it back to the library.
''Trixie!'' Snips and Snails shouted.
''Twilight!'' Spike shouted.
''Trixie!'' Snips and Snails said as they called out for Trixie while banging on the door of Trixie's wagon.
''Trixie thought she said the Great and Powerful Trixie did not want to be disturbed!'' Trixie said as she stuck her head out the door. Snips then laugh nervously.
''We- We have a-a tiny problem.'' Snips said.
''Actually, it's a big one.'' Snails said.
''What is so important that you cannot wait until morning to disturb Trixie?'' Trixie asks the duo. When they look out in the distance, they see the Ursa coming. The all scream in terror.
''Twilight! You've gotta come! Quick!'' Spike said as he ran in the library.
''I already told you, Spike, I don't wanna show up Trixie!'' Twilight said.
''No, you don't understand, it's-'' Spike said until another roar fills the air.
As ponies are going into a panic and trying to get to shelter, Twilight and Spike arrive at the scene.
''What's going on?'' Twilight asked.
''We brought an ursa to town.'' Snips announced.
''You what!?'' Twilight asked.
''Don't worry, the Great and Powerful Trixie will vanquish it.'' Snails said. Finally, Trixie let it all out.
''I can't.'' Trixie said.
''What!?'' Snips and Snails said.
''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.''
''Made it up!?''
''Looks like it is up to us Vegeta'' said Goku as he powered up, emitting a milky white aura around his body. ''I'm going first!''
The Saiyan then rush to the bear. Meanwhile, Vegeta didn't seemed to be interested at all. He is somewhat relieved that Goku goes first as he doesn't want to waste his precious energy on a lowly bear.
''HUAAAAH!''
Goku yelled, releasing more and more energy. He throws a punch on the bear's face, followed by another one, repeating the same action over and over again. Pushing the beast inch by inch, the Saiyan grabs this opportunity to power up further. He finalizes his attack with a kick on the jaw, causing the bear to knock over.
''The bear sure is strong. But I shouldn't overdo it'' said Goku
The Ursa Major then roars. It echoed throughout Ponyville and some parts of Everfree Forest, alerting some beasts. In fact, the roar was loud enough to caught the attention of an even bigger threat. Silhouetted by the shadows, its eyes peered in the darkness. The Ursa Major rush to the Saiyan. It tried to claw him down, but he simply dodges it with ease. Not wanting to give up on the fight, the bear tried again and again but no successful hit. Goku was too fast.
The ponies cheered for Goku's actions, in which annoyed the prince. Goku glared at the bear one last time, deciding to finish the battle as he is getting quite sleepy.
''Alright, time for you to go home'' said Goku
Suddenly, he could feel an even bigger energy rushing. The energy is almost the same as the Ursa Major's but the only difference is the quantity. Surprisingly, an even massive bear emerges from the trees of the Everfree Forest. The ponies stare at awe, seeing how awfully giant the bear is.
''Wait Goku! Be careful at the bigger one. The one that you were fighting isn't an Ursa Major at all!'' said Twilight
Goku turns to Twilight, scratching his head on the process, ''It's not?''
''No! You were fighting an Ursa Minor. That right there Is an Ursa Major!''
He then turns to where Twilight was pointing. He is starting to get it. It is no wonder why it's called Ursa Major. It is definitely humongous, way bigger than the tallest building in Ponyville. Goku, however, didn't waver. He felt that his tiredness left him, replacing excitement. His body is tingling and signs of a major battle.
''Alright, now this is fun!'' said Goku
''Hold it'' said Vegeta as he approaching the floating Saiyan, ''You wouldn't think that I would let you have all the fun''
Goku chuckled, ''So now you're getting fired up''
Vegeta dodge the statement, ''I am taking that giant, you are going for the minor''
''What?! That's so not fair. I'm going for the big one. You had your chance before, now it's my turn.''
''Chance of what?''
He then notices Goku head off for the Ursa Major. A vain popped on his forehead, annoyed by the mischievous action. The Ursa Minor growled at the prince, shooting a death glare. Vegeta shot back, showing no fear for the beast at all.
''Alright you freak. Time for you to sleep!''
That moment, Vegeta powers up, using nearly his full power. He emitted the same aura glow as Goku's. He then rushes to the bear full throttle. While the two saiyans are busy fighting off the two gigantic beasts, Twilight thought of an idea on how to stop the Ursa's rampage. Remember of what Vegeta's last statement, she realized the whole dilemma.
''That's it!'' said Twilight. ''Goku, Vegeta!''
Vegeta throws a successful punch, ''We're in a middle of something here!''
Meanwhile, Goku is dodging the Major's strikes. Seeing an opening, Goku kicks it to the guts, stunning the beast. ''What is Twi? A Bit busy''
''I have a plan that could stop their rampage''
Vegeta turns to the mare, ''Like what?!'' Preoccupied and way open, the Ursa Minor slap the prince away. Vegeta collides to a nearby house, creating a cloud of dusts and completely demolishing it.
As the clouds cleared off, Vegeta grunts in pain and at the same time annoyance, ''Damn it!''
''Goku! Stop of what you are doing!'' shouted Twilight
The Saiyan turns at Twilight, ''What do you mean? If I stop now, you'll- ''
Goku shared the same fate with Vegeta as he was slapped by the Ursa Major away. Vegeta stands up from the ground, recovering from the blow he received. Unfortunately, Goku then collides with Vegeta, creating yet another massive pile of dust cloud and a mini crater.
The dust clouds cleared, revealing the two saiyans struggling to get up from the ground. The pain is unbearable, especially for the prince who caught his Saiyan friend. Vegeta got the most impact as he is the one who cushioned Goku's fall.
''Why do I get to be on the bottom?'' said Vegeta groggily
''Speak for yourself'' said Goku, standing up from the ground as he slowly recovers from the blow. ''I didn't know that they could pack a punch''
The roar echoed the town, letting the ponies to cover their ears of the ear breaking howl. Momentarily, both Ursa rush straight towards Twilight. Fortunately for her, Goku arrives in front of her.
''You better do your plan quick Twilight'' said Goku as he is posturing himself to perform one of Krillin's best moves. ''Everyone shields your eyes!''
The ponies did exactly what the Saiyan said. Goku releases an intense amount of light with his energy. The said light flashed brightly, not giving the two bears a chance to cover their eyes. Seeing the light's immense brightness is like staring the sun for at least five minutes, temporarily blinding the beasts. Of course, the light didn't do anything severe. It is only a technique to blind enemies momentarily, allowing the user to have the advantage to escape or to fight.
The moment the light died, Twilight's horn glowed, casting an unknown spell. Suddenly, the winds begin to whistle a soft and sweet tune, almost a tune of a lullaby. The beasts recovered from the light, ready to wreak havoc once more. However, their sensitive ears heard the tune, almost weakening them. Eventually, both became tired.
''Nice use of number sixteen.'' Spike said. Twilight then used her magic to grab the water tower and poured out the water. The tower then goes through the barn and you can hear sounds of milking as well as cows mooing.
''Golly, dont'cha know?'' A cow said.
Twilight puts on a cap for the tower. She then used extra power and magic boost to heighten the effects of the song. Finally, the music manages to subdue the both of them.
''Alright! Way to go Twilight'' said Goku
Goku grabs the container and help Twilight move the Ursas and the milk-filled tower back to the cave. The town then cheered.
''Unbelievable!'' Rainbow Dash said.
''That was amazing!'' Spike said.
''Heavens to Betsy! We knew you had ability, but not that much!'' Applejack said.
''I'm sorry. Please, please don't hate me.'' Twilight said.
''Hate you? Why would we hate you after that?'' asked Goku
''Well, I know how much you all hated Trixie's showing off with her magic tricks, and I just thought''- Twilight asked until Vegeta interrupts here.
''You are missing the point here. Unlike loudmouth, you are different''
''So, you don't mind my magic tricks?'' Twilight asked.
''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.
''And after watching you whup those ursas' hind quarters with magic, we're even prouder.'' Rainbow Dash said.
''You are?'' Twilight asked.
''Of course!''
''Though I got a question, how'd you know what to do with the Ursas?'' Spike asked.
''You see, after Trixie's performance, I decided to look up about those beasts. After watching their behavior, I came up with a simple hypothesis: The Ursa Minor was cranky because it was woken by a certain duo and the Ursa Major went on a rampage because the same duo woke its child up.' Twilight said as he looked at Snips and Snails.
''Awww...'' Snips and Snails said.
''Huh. You may have vanquished the Ursas, but you will never have the amazing, show-stopping ability of the Great and Powerful Trixie!'' Trixie said as she threw a smoke bomb and retreated out of town.
''Why that little...'' Rainbow Dash said until Goku gestures her to stop.
''Just let her go. Maybe someday she'll learn her lesson.'' Twilight said. Snips and Snails attempted to sneak away but unfortunately Vegeta appeared right in front of them, giving both of them a death glare.
''Ah. Uh, we're sorry that we woke up the Ursas.'' Snips said.
''We just wanted to see some awesome magic.'' Snails said.
''Yeah! And the way you vanquished those Ursas was awesome!'' Snips said.
''We deserve whatever punishment you give us.'' Snails said as he and Snips bowed their heads in shame.
''For starters, you can clean up this mess. And... What do you think, Spike? Should I give them number twenty-five?'' Twilight asked her assistant.
''Oh, twenty-five! Yes! And I think I deserve it, too.'' Spike said.
''Heah?'' Snips and Snails said in confusion.
''Oh, not this again'' said the annoyed prince.
''I think you're right.'' Twilight said as she uses her magic and forms mustaches on the two colts and the dragon.
''Sweet!'' Snips, Snails, and Spike said.
Later on, after Spike had his fun with the mustache, Twilight called her to write a letter for Princess Celestia about her latest report of friendship.
Dear Princess Celestia,
I have learned a very valuable lesson about friendship: I was so afraid of being thought of as a showoff 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?'' Vegeta asked the unicorn.
''Well, yeah, but it's nothing to brag about. So Spike, uh, how did it go with Rarity?'' Twilight said.
''Eh, she didn't go for the mustache.'' Spike said.
''You know, Spike, that mustache has nothing to do with who you really are. Maybe you should just try being yourself.'' Twilight said.
''Or... Maybe the mustache wasn't enough. Maybe if I had a mustache and a beard?'' Spike said.
''Ugh!'' grunted Vegeta
''Okay, imagine me with a nice, long, Fu Manchu type beard. Or maybe a goatee. Oh, no a soulpatch right on my chin!''
To Be Continued…
