Trixie is trying to steal Twilight's firewood, Ponyville can't find a unicorn to play the part of Clover the Clever, and Twilight can't help because she has to prepare for her royal duties over in Canterlot.
Can her five friends do the pageant with somepony neither of them really trusts, especially when the pony in question keeps acting so suspicious?

This story was supposed to be done in time for Heart's Warming, but a bad case of writer's block regarding the second chapter, a lack of motivation and what felt like about twenty distractions piling up got in the way.
Thus, I decided to post the first chapter anyway and wait to see how it is received. If it is received better than most of my stories (let's say, 50 Likes) I'll put some effort into getting out the second half of it. If it just gets ignored by people, it will stay On Hiatus until I feel like writing on it again and I'll turn my attention to the dozen other stories on my list in the meantime.
