The night of the festival was finally here! Fireworks shot out into the starry sky and illuminated the land with color and sparkles. The town, itself, was dimly lit with lanterns and light stands. All of them gave out a bright spectacle, with their many colors and shades. Sounds of cheer and laughter rose high into air and could be heard from afar. Such was the sight that befell a certain blue unicorn mare, who sported a star-studded cape and hat. She stopped at the top of the hill and gazed at the town below, while pulling her brand new gypsy cart. She grinned.

"Look out Ponyville! Your number one magician is back!"

Ponyville's town square was especially crowed. Many ponies came from far and wide to see the great spectacle that is Astra's Comet (and to enjoy the games and fried food). The whole place was talking about their Princess' latest announcement. This "magical charity" business was a really great idea! It was good to know that the unicorns will their newly found powers to help every pony. Two prominent unicorns have, already, announced their intentions to follow Princess Twilight's proposal to the letter. One of them was the popular DJ, Vinyl Scratch, who said she was planning "something big", but gave no further details. The other was Rarity, who, true to her word, called upon the townsfolk to gather all their damaged clothes and fabrics and bring them to the "Boutique Vender", on the left corner of the square. They responded promptly by giving her piles of worn shirts and dresses. One of them, a grey earth pony mare with a black mane and pink bow-tie, even, brought an exquisite Arabian rug! As she placed it on the pile of fabrics, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Are you sure you're up for the challenge?"
Rarity placed her hoof on the worried mare's shoulders and replied.
"Octavia, dearest", Rarity said sweetly, relying on her natural charm, "you can rest assure that the 'Boutique' prides itself on the quality of its work."
"But, isn't it just you?" Octavia asked.
Rarity completely blanked for a moment, before, quickly recovering her composition.
"Well, you get the idea."
Octavia was still concerned. Rarity sensed this and made a promise.
"I guarantee", she said with confidence, "your Arabian rug will be fixed with the utter-most care."
"Well, if you're sure?" Octavia said, reluctantly.
"I'm absolutely positive!" Rarity replied, with a wink.
With that, the grey mare walked away assured that all will be well. Rarity, for her part, realized that the rug will be a challenge. The rug, itself, was beautifully hoof made; stitched together by the finest silk-weavers in the East. But, she dealt with tough assignments before and the fashionista felt confident she can deal with this most delicate of rugs. Before, Rarity can ponder any further, she heard a familiar voice pipe up from behind her.
"Rarity?”
She turned around to see a small unicorn filly with a curly pink and violet mane, with a tired expression on her face. The little filly started to moan.
"Are we done yet?"
Rarity gazed at the little filly with sympathetic eyes. She couldn't blame her little sister for being so bored with just standing around and sorting out fabrics. In fact, Rarity was starting to think that it was time to take a break. She looked down at her sister and smiled.
"I’m almost done, Sweetie Belle, dear!” Rarity turned the few remaining ponies that stood in front of the vender. "Alright, every pony!" she exclaimed, as she raised her left hoof. "Those who have shirts, place them on this pile." She raised her right hoof and said, "And those with blankets and quilts; place in that pile over there." The other ponies were confused; nonetheless, they did as Rarity said. With that out of the way, Rarity turned to her weary sister.
"Now, we can leave."
Sweetie Belle couldn't contain her excitement. “Finally!” She said, bounding with joy. At long last, they can finally enjoy the festival! As the two sisters walked along the bustling, cobblestone square, the unicorn filly felt rather anxious.
"I hope we find the others in time."

Her older sister called for patience. "Don't worry, darling", she said with assurance. "We’ll find them soon enough."
They were, of course, talking about Sweetie Belle's friends, Applebloom and Scootaloo, who are with their sisters at the festival. While they made their way through the crowd, the curious filly asked her big sister a question.
"So, what's Twilight going to do for the festival?"
Rarity pondered it for a second.
"Well," she responded, "I remember her saying something about helping the mayor."
Sweetie Belle was puzzled. "What kind of help does the mayor need?"
"Sorting paperwork, of course." replied Rarity."
Sweetie Belle raised an eyebrow. "Really?" To the little filly, that doesn't sound like much fun.
"I thought she do something really amazing." she said, in disappointment. Rarity, suddenly, remembered what Twilight had said earlier and how she felt about being an alicorn princess. She remembered how her friend was less than enthralled with her new abilities. The young unicorn mare began to wonder what would happen if her alicorn friend did decide to use all of her powers during the Comet's passing. “Perhaps, she'll..."
"Look! There they are!" Sweetie Belle's sudden outburst interrupted Rarity's thoughts.
At the corner of her eye, she saw Applejack and Rainbow Dash at a dart throwing booth. Besides then, were two fillies? One was an earth pony, who wore a pink bow on her rosy red mane. The other was an orange pegasus, who's eyes were fixated on Rainbow Dash. Rarity felt her sister tugging on her hoof; her face beaming with excitement!
"C'mon Rarity!" she exclaimed. "Let's go!"
"Alright! Alright!" her older sister said. "You don't need to rush."

Meanwhile, at the city hall, Twilight is sorting out piles of papers; some of which were concentrated into high stacks. She used her magic to place each document on to each carefully categorized stack. Spike, despite his grumbling, helped out as best as he could by carrying each stack from one end of the room to the other. Twilight, sweating from the strain of sorting out hundreds of documents, was satisfied with the work she had accomplished so far. After she had filed the last stack of papers, she scanned through the forest of official paperwork; looking for her dragon companion.
“Spike? Where are you?”
“Over here!” he replied; waving his claw over the mass of paper stacks. Always quick to find a solution, Twilight lit up her horn and parted the mounds of paper with her magic. With those out of the way, Spike was able to make his way to Twilight. When he finally reached her position, Twilight asked: “Did you sort out all the piles; like I asked?”
Spike let out an exasperating sigh. “Yes.” He moaned.
Twilight smiled with satisfaction. “Good! That should wrap things up.”
Her scaly friend breathed a sigh of relief. “Finally!”
But, Twilight had further plans, much to Spike’s dismay. “Now all we have to do is carry all of this to the center stage.” She said to her stunned assistant. The little dragon groaned, as he collapsed onto the floor. Twilight just rolled her eyes.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll just use my magic to transport half of these papers to the stage myself.”
“Why are we doing this?!” groaned Spike.
“I told you!” replied Twilight. “We’re helping the mayor fill out her paperwork. Lately she’s been swamped with so much tax files, complaints, and such that she asked me to help her out.” The young princess began to grin. “Besides”, she said, “It’s a great way to practice for my royal duties. And, with the Comet coming up, I might be able to sign all of these in half the time it would normally take.”
Twilight was more excited than ever. The Comet was coming in at about 45 minutes and she can, finally, experience this amazing event. She dreamt about it; ever since she was a filly. Best of all, she was using her magic to help her friends. The alicorn couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Oooh! I can hardly wait! This is going to be so magical!!”
At that moment, Spike felt a bit uneasy. There was something he had to tell Twilight. The little dragon fidgeted with his tail and started to stammer. “Yeah…speaking of magic...” The young princess turned to her assistant and noticed his timidity. At this point, she grew concerned about him. “Is there something wrong, Spike?” She asked. Her assistant looked at his mentor’s puzzled face and hesitated. He felt ashamed about what he was about to do. But, he had to tell her the truth! So, taking a deep breath, he bleached out a green flame, which swirled and magically turned into a parchment scroll; with the royal seal stamped upon it. Twilight picked it up and began to read.
“It’s from Princess Celestia.” She said fearfully.
Spike continued to fidget with his tail and stare at the ground, as Twilight read on. As she did, her eyes began to grow wider and, as she read further, her jaw started to drop! Then, her face twisted to show both her anger and confusion.
“Why?” she ranted. “Why would Princess Celestia send me something like this?!”
Spike stood silent as she continued with her ranting.
“I can’t believe this! I thought she trusted me! Now she’s telling me not to use my…UGH!!!” She turned to Spike; even more frantic than she usually gets. “When did you receive this message?” Spike gulped and stuttered out the first words that came out of his mouth.
“T-this morning, a-a-actually.”
Twilight blanked! Her face, riddled with shock, stared at Spike; which made him very nervous. He knew that he was in trouble and would get the punishment of a lifetime. But, what Twilight said next, shook him to the core.
“WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME SOONER?!!!”
Spike was shocked by his friend’s outburst! He stammered, as he try to recover from the shock. “I-I’m sorry Twilight!” he stuttered. “I-I wanted t-to tell you. B-but, you were so excited about the Comet ceremony that I…”
“But, this is a message from Princess Celestia!” Twilight blasted back. “You don’t WITHHOLD this kind of information!!”
Spike was mortified! He knew that withholding letters from Princess Celestia isn’t something that he would normally do. But, he cared about Twilight so much that he (after reading the message) kept it a secret for most of the day. He never counted on his guilt being so strong. He tried to explain his actions further. But Twilight had enough. She took a deep breath and turned away; as to hide her tears from her trusted companion.
“I just need to be alone for a while.”
With that, she used her magic to transport herself and the rest of the papers outside the city hall, leaving Spike alone in the empty building.

Every pony from across town gathered in front of city hall for the main event. Anticipation was high as they waited for official start of the ceremony. In the front row stood Applejack, Rainbow, and Rarity with their filly companions. Each had an assortment of prizes that had won at various booth and all six were hyped about tonight’s events. As they waited for the ceremony to start, the little fillies started to talk about the games they and their older sisters played.
“Ah can believe Rarity got a bull’s eye on da target at that dart booth!” Applebloom said, with a baffled look. Applejack was equally as confused. “Yeah”, she replied, “who da thought she had a good eye!” Rarity responded with cheerful glee. “Well, I do have an eye for detail.” Rainbow Dash was not impressed. “Detail, my hoof! That was a lucky shot!” She was especially cross, because she won the second prize at dart throwing. But Sweetie Belle, beaming with pride, took it a step further. “Are you kidding?” she retorted. “Rarity is the only pony I know that would find a needle in a haystack!” Rarity, on the hoof, did not share her sister’s enthusiasm. In fact, she felt rather embarrassed. “I’m not that good”, she said meekly. But the others found the perfect opportunity to tease her a bit. Scootaloo was the first to start.
“Oh no!” she said, in a mockingly distressed tone. “I just remembered that I’ve lost a bolt to my scooter. I think it might be in a haystack somewhere. Can you help me find it, Rarity?” The others chuckled; but Rarity just rolled her eyes. “Ha, ha!” she said dryly, “very funny.” Then, Applejack just thought of something. “Hey Rarity!” she asked. “Ain’t ya supposed to be on stage right now?” Suddenly, the fashionista remembered that she had a pile of fabrics behind stage. “Oh, that’s right!” she exclaimed. “I have to up there to perform my task!” She hurried through the crowd at break neck speeds. As she disappeared from view, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie arrived and joined the rest of their friends at the front row. “My goodness!” Fluttershy exclaimed. “Where’s Rarity heading off to in such a hurry?”
“Oh, she’s just headin’ back stage to join the others.” Applejack replied. Pinkie Pie, who was next to Fluttershy, couldn’t contain her excitement. “Ooooh! I’m so excited!” She shouted with glee. “This so exciting! I’ve never been so excited! Well, expect for the time I threw a party for the Baby Cake’s first birthday and that one that time that I…” Applejack interrupted her monologue. “Uh, we get the idea, sugar cube.” Just then, they see an elderly tan earth pony walk over to a podium on the center of the stage. “Look!” One of the ponies called out. “It’s the mayor!” To every pony, this meant one thing: it was time for the main event. A hush fell over the crowd, as the mayor began to speak.
“Good evening, every pony! And welcome to the ‘Great Comet Ceremony!’”
All the ponies responded with resounding cheers and wild applause. The mayor raised her hoof, to calm them down and the crowd began to quiet down. Then, she continued to speak.
“As all of you know, this is a momentous event! After 200 years, Astra’s Comet is, once again, ready to grace the skies of Equestria with its beauty. Not only that…” The mayor began drone on and on, as her speech dragged on for minutes on end. Rainbow Dash gave out a heavy sigh. “This is going to take a while.” She muttered.
From back stage, Twilight watched as the mayor continued to speak (endlessly, she thought). But, she didn’t mind it that much. Instead, her mind was on something else. She remember the meltdown she had with Spike at city hall, earlier this evening. She started to regret what she had done. “I didn’t mean to yell at Spike.” She thought bitterly. “I felt so upset about Celestia’s message that I…” At that moment, she hung her head down in shame. The young alicorn wondered if her assistant will ever forgive her.
“Twilight?” A familiar voice piped up from behind her.
She turned around to see her dragon friend approach her slowly. “Spike?” She said softly. Spike took a deep breath. “Twilight”, he said, “I’m really sorry for holding that letter from you. I know how important that was to you.” The little dragon looked up and spoke from his heart. “I just wanted you to be happy.” Twilight was moved by his apology. But, she knew, she must make her own apology. “Actually, Spike, I’m the one who should be apologizing to you.” Spike was confused by her statement. “I never should have yelled at you like that.” Twilight continued. “I was just so angry when Princess Celestia ordered me not to use my magic that I lashed out at you. Can you forgive..?” Spike intervened. “Let’s forgive each other, okay?” Twilight smiled. “Okay.” She said softly. Both friends embraced each other, knowing that all was forgiven. But Spike, suddenly realized something. “Wait!” He said. “What about Princess Celestia’s orders?” Twilight realized that too. But, she already agreed to help the mayor. So, she calmly replied to Spike’s question. “I know that I’ll be violating her orders by using my magic. But, I made a promise and I plan on fulfilling it. Once this is over, I will talk to Celestia and explain my actions.” She, then, gave Spike a warm smile. “I’m sure she’ll understand.” Then, Twilight’s ears perked up. She could hear the mayor wrapping up her long speech. “That’s my queue!” She turned to Spike. “Wish me luck!”
As Twilight approached the podium, the mayor proclaimed her arrival. “Now, without further or do, I would like to introduce our very own, Princess Twilight!” Every pony rose and gave resounding cheers that shook the whole town! Twilight, herself, was overwhelmed by the affection that was shown by her new subjects. But, she recovered quickly and began her speech.
“Good evening every pony! I want to thank you all for coming to the ceremony. I want to remind each and every one of you that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Before, this has been a time where only unicorns could enjoy the Comet’s power. But, tonight, that power will be used for benefit of every pony! Every unicorn present shall use this extra boost of magic to help those in need.” She pointed to a large timer on the right corner of the stage. “I must remind you that the Comet will be here for three hours. So, make every minute count!” The other ponies nodded in agreement. Suddenly, a voice rang out through the crowd.
“Oh, don’t worry! Every minute will count!”
Every pony turned around fast and saw a brightly colored gypsy cart unfold its built in stage; smoke spewing out into the square. Out of the haze, a blue unicorn mare appeared; her cape flapping in the wind. She presented, to the crowd, a smug, confident grin. She trumpeted her arrival with style and flare.
“For the great and powerful Trixie shall put on a show; the likes of which has never been seen before by any pony!”
The spectators were shocked! They knew her well! She had been well known for her performances and spell-binding magic tricks. But, her visits to Ponyville and her magic duels with Twilight were more than infamous (to say the least). It had been a long time since the flamboyant magician came to town and some were not too happy to see her. Twilight, herself, was equally surprised!
“Trixie?!” The stunned princess said; mouth hanging wide open.
The magician fixed her eyes upon her former opponent. “Ah!” She exclaimed. “If isn’t the most illustrious princess, Twilight Sparkle!” She lit up her horn and, in a flash, teleported herself from the cart to the stage. There, both mares stood face to face. For a moment, Twilight was impressed. “Looks like she did learn a thing or two since our last encounter.” She thought. But, she realized there are some questions that needed to be answered.
“So…” Twilight said awkwardly, “What brings you here?”
“Twilight Sparkle!” Trixie said with a gasp. “That’s Princess Twilight Sparkle, to you!” The alicorn mare was quick to correct the brash magician. Trixie, for her part, was quick to apologize. “Yes, of course.” Then, she resumed with her statement. “But, you, of all ponies, should know why I’m here?” It didn’t take Twilight to come up with an answer. “You’re here for another rematch, right?” At the moment, Trixie was caught off guard. She had not expected her opponent to guess that quickly! “Why….yes…exactly.” Every pony groaned. “Does this pony ever give up”, they wondered. Even Twilight didn’t like the sound of that. “Look Trixie,” she explained, “this festival was made so that the unicorns will use their magic to help others. So, I’m sorry, I don’t have time for this.” Disappointed, Trixie hung her head down low and sighed. “All Trixie wanted to do was show every pony the new spells that Trixie has learned. And, what better way to do that then have a friendly bout with some pony who’s as equally skilled as Trixie.” Twilight was baffled! She was moved by Trixie’s plight. But, she was even more confused by her actions. “Trixie hasn’t acted like this before.” She thought. “It’s almost as if she’s a different pony!” As Trixie turned to leave, Twilight’s conscience was in turmoil! She saw how Trixie had changed since their last encounter and was curious about the new spells that she learned. But, on the other hoof, she realized that, by dueling Trixie, she would disobey Princess Celestia’s orders not to use her full magic during the comet’s passing. A sense of guilt came over Twilight, as she saw Trixie slowly walk away. The princess took a deep breath.
“I’m sorry, Celestia.”
“Wait!” Twilight called out. Trixie stopped and slowly turned her head; her eyes conveying a somber look. “When I’m with filling out all of these papers for the mayor”, Twilight said with a smile, “I would like to see those new spells of yours.” At that moment, Trixie’s face lit up with joy! She rushed over the, now, stunned princess, as she gave her a big hug. “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank y-“The magician, suddenly, realized that every pony was watching her act like a giddy foal in a candy store. So, to maintain her appearance, she quickly let go of Twilight and regained her confident smugness. “*ahem* Trixie accepts your challenge!” Twilight shook her head with amusement. “Still the same old Trixie.” She, then, turned to the clock and, as luck would have it, the comet was seconds away! “Alright, every pony!” Twilight shouted to the crowd. “Begin the countdown!” Every pony joined in, as the seconds ticked away.
“10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1”
And, right on time, a bright streak of light appeared over the night sky. Its tail showed a beautiful purple haze, as it sailed across the stars. The comet was so large and so bright, that it lit up the valley for miles around. But, what energy the comet gave off! Within an instant, every unicorn felt a surge of cosmic energy flow through their bodies; their horns giving off a glow, brighter than any pony has ever seen! Within seconds, the unicorns put this new magical boost to the test. Some began repairing homes, others cleaned up parts of town (pulling weeds, magically disposing trash, etc.) All the while, helping those in need. But, other ponies were spell bound by what Twilight, Vinyl and Rarity were doing. They watched as Rarity carefully sow an Arabian rug; while sowing dozens of shirts and blankets simultaneously! Twilight signed hundreds of documents, with incredible speed. And, Vinyl presented the brightest, most awesome light show and dance number of all time! Even Trixie did her part, by using her increased magic to entertain the fillies and colts. When Twilight and Rarity completed their tasks, (which took an incredible 15 minutes!), she and Trixie prepare to face each other in the middle of town square. Every pony gather to see yet another duel between these two skill magic users. Pinkie Pie stood in-between them and laid out the ground rules.
“Remember, you too, there will no zapping, no smacking, no spiting, no name calling, no newt changing no…”
“GET ON WITH IT!” The other ponies said impatiently. “Alight, Alight.” Pinkie said reluctantly. She went straight to the point.
“Ready…set…GO!”
Trixie stated first, by placing a batch of feathers into her hat. At first, the other ponies were confused. “Feathers?” Rainbow Dash heckled “Really?!” But, Trixie lit up her horn and gave her hat a good zap! Then, she threw into the air and revealed a flock of doves! Every pony was impressed. Now, they turned to Twilight, wondering what she will do. The young alicorn thought for a moment. Surely, there was spell that knew that could out do Trixie’s? She threw in some feathers and…” Wait a minute?” She exclaimed silently. “That’s it!” She remembered learning a spell that can manipulate fire! And she knew exactly how to use it. “Spike!” Twilight called out. “Bring me a match.” The little dragon obeyed and brought her a box of matches. She, then, levitated a single match and struck it against the ground. As the flame flickered, Twilight used her magic to control the wave patterns of the flame and, then, she was able to manipulate it; swirling it around in every direction. Finally, she hoisted the flame into the air, condensed it into a ball, and, foosh! The flames burst forth and revealed an aberration of a phoenix!
Every pony gazed in awe of the spectacle. Amidst the crowd, Twilight could hear her friends cheering her on; boosting her confidence. “Not bad.” Trixie said. “But, can you do this?” In a flash, fireworks burst forth from her cart! Using her magic, the unicorn magician controlled the rockets; combining them to form a flaming dragon! Every pony panicked, as this frightening aberration came flying towards them! They ducked for cover as it passed over them. Then, it went straight into the air and exploded into a halo of brightly lit sparks! The townsfolk stood still for a moment and, finally, cheered wildly. Even Princess Twilight was impressed. “So”, Trixie grinned, “can you top that?!” Twilight thought about it what to do next. “How can I top something like that?” As she pondered, she heard the other ponies calling her out to do something. At this, she became more frantic! She concentrated as hard as she could; trying to come up with spell that can outdo Trixie’s. Her horn grew brighter. Then, suddenly, Twilight strained out of thought as she felt the Comet’s energy pulsing through her body! Every pony stood in mesmerized horror, as they saw their princess engulfed in a torrent of magical energy. Amidst the bright, swirling mass, they soon spotted a sliver of light, forming out of thin air over the town square. This sliver grew wider and wider; as if it was being torn apart by an invisible force. As the ponies stood and gazed, in fearful awe, the spectacle climaxed as a powerful surge of energy burst forth and knocked everyone off their hoofs! After that, the swirling magic dissipated, leaving Twilight in a daze.
As she regained her senses, the young alicorn saw the other ponies (especially Trixie) with frightened looks on their faces. “What happened?” She asked. Trixie slowly rose her shaking hoof, as she pointed towards whatever was behind Twilight’s back. Confused, she turned around and saw it! A bright, pulsing circle hovering over the square! This was not like any she’d ever seen. There was nothing to indicate that there was something behind the light that supported it; as if it was suspended in midair. But, for strange reason, this looked familiar. “I remember seeing something like this before.” She thought precariously. “But…where?” Her friends joined her in gazing at this miracle of magic. They were so stunned, they didn’t know what to say. But, Rainbow Dash, knew exactly what to say.
“That…was…AWESOME!!!”
After that, the others chimed in.
“Yeah!” Exclaimed Spike, “That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!”
“Simply marvelous!” Rarity said gleefully. Applejack chuckled. “*heh* Yeah, that’ll give ol’ Trixie a heart attack.” (In fact, Trixie was still paralyzed with shock; her mouth hanging wide open.)
Fluttershy was still in shock. But, nonetheless, impressed. “I-I had no idea you had this kind of power!” Pinkie Pie, on the other hoof, was excited. “THIS IS SO AMAZING!” She said, shouting at the top of her lungs. But, then, she paused for a moment, as she stared at the light. “What is it?” She asked, turning to Twilight. “I-I don’t know.” The alicorn princess said in confusion. She didn’t remember learning this kind of spell. In fact, she still couldn’t figure out what it was! Then, she remembered the one night we went to the Crystal Empire for her first royal summit. She recalled the time she had to follow Sunset Shimmer through the Palace’s magic mirror and into the human world. This beam of light, standing in front of her, looked exactly like it! The significance of the moment suddenly dawned on her.
“I think I just created a portal!”
When Twilight said that, it soon dawned on her friends that she might be more powerful than they actually thought! They knew Twilight was good at magic; but, this was unexpected! Maybe the Comet was more powerful than they gave it credit for. Before they could fully dwell on the situation, one of ponies pointed at the portal and shouted. “Look! Something’s coming through!” At that moment, every pony gazed at the opening, as a dark silhouette moved towards them. It grew larger and larger, until at last, it stepped out of the portal and revealed itself. Every pony gasped! Standing before them was a creature, none of which they had ever seen before! This frightening beast stood on two legs and was cladded in rusted armor (some pointed out that it was some sort of diving suit). Frightening still, was its massive drill; implanted in its left arm. One savage blow, they thought, can knock a group of ponies off their hoofs or rip a poor soul to ribbons! But, it was the smell that abhorred every pony present. For some reason, they couldn’t describe it. But, it was so repulsive that it could make the strongest pony feel sick! As they stared at the creature, it let out a deep, resounding moan that shook them all with fear! Twilight stood in absolute awe of this foul creature.
“I got a bad feeling about this.” She whispered.

Author's Note

Now, things are getting good!

To those of you, who read this previously, You can see that I made some changes to both chapters. This also includes these notes. (If there's any sense of confusion or, maybe, you like these changes, just comment below).

I thought I would add Trixie in as a way to get the plot moving. I also plan on using her for a more...sinister purpose. MUHAHAHAHA!
But, seriously, I thought that magic duel was pretty awesome!
I noticed that some of you are saying that "Big Daddy" should have a reason for attacking these scared little ponies. To you I say: "I'm getting to that!" :P

Next Chapter: Ponies....meet Big Daddy!
