After Trixie ran out of town, the two young village idiots Snips and Snails tried to tiptoed away, but were stopped by Twilight, "Now, about you two!" She scolded.

"Uh...sorry we woke up that ursa minor." Said Snips nervously.

"We just wanted to see some awesome power." Stated Snails.

"YEAH! And the way you vanquished that ursa minor was AWESOME!" Twilight made a displeased look.

The two colts lowered themselves, "We deserve whatever punishment you give us." Snips said hoping their punishment won't be too harsh.

"For starters you can clean up this mess." Twilight said pointing to the ruins of Trixie's home, "And; what do you think Spike? Should I give them number 25?"

"Ohhhh, 25 yes."Answered Spike with a mean looking grin on his face, "Anddd I think I deserve it too."

Everypony were confused why Spike believes he deserves it also, but Twilight didn't disagree so they all just went along with it. Twilight was glowing an aura which started glowing on the three boys' noses. Then mustaches appeared on them. "SWEET!" All three of them shouted.

Twilight giggled slightly then said, "And you can forget about actually cleaning up any mess, you two didn't do anything wrong."

Just then, Mayor Mare shouted from the crowd, "DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!??!?!"

Everypony gasped at this, "These two just brought a monster into town, almost costing the lives and homes of many! And succeeded in destroying one pony's life!"

Startled at this revelation, Twilight said, "WHAT!?! Whose life?"

"Trixie's of course!" Answered an angry Mayor Mare.

RD flew in front of Mayor Mare, "But that braggart wouldn't stop bragging."

"Miss Dash, she's a performer it's her job; and you're one pony to talk. You brag more than anypony in Ponyville combined." Retorted Mayor Mare.

Mayor then turned to the Mane Six (excluding Fluttershy and Pinkie), Spike, and ~~dumb and dumber~~ Snips and Snails, "All of you have behaved very poorly this day." She then said to RD and AJ, "You two have been childish and hypocritical, you two brag nonstop everyday and when somepony who's job it is to brag comes and does so you try and upstage the showoff by showing off. " then she turned to Rarity, "You may not have been a hypocrite per say, but you try upstaging the showoff by being a bigger showoff."

"NOW WAIT JUST A COTTON PICKIN' MINUTE HERE!" Shouted AJ, "Trixie's bragging was WAY too far. It's one thing to show off your talents, but she was rubbing in our faces."

Mayor Mare turned to AJ, "Be that as it may, but if you didn't like it you could have just walked away."

AJ was a bit perplexed by this, "Well..yes I guess..."

Cheerilee then stepped in, "She has a point Applejack, I keep telling my students, including your sister, that you should just ignore somepony who's bothering you. You're an adult, so you should know this."

"Well...I" Said AJ.

"AS FOR YOU!" Mayor Mare turned to Twilight, "You were right to not try to upstage Trixie, but you know perfectly well we CAN'T let Snips and Snails off the hook for what they've done!"

Mayor Mare then turned to all seven of them, "For this catastrophe and immature behavior, all of you are going to be punished."

"Twilight Sparkle! Since you DID get that giant bear out of here I'll be lenient, 10 hours of community service, starting tomorrow at 4 in the morning. And I mean BE there at 4 in the morning!!!!"

Mayor then turned to Rarity, "For helping in boosting Trixie's ego and thus driving Snips and Snails to bring that thing here you are to have 30 hours of community service."

"But...but..." Rarity tried to argue but couldn't bring herself to come up with anything.

"NO! No buts! You should have just walked away, or not try to upstage her." Replied Mayor Mare who then turned to AJ.

"AS FOR YOU! You have portrayed a very bad example for your sister Applebloom. You get 50 hours of community service."

Mayor then turned to RD, "Keep up this bragging and you may get hurt, 50 hours of community service. Starting tomorrow at 4 am."

"Gosh, I've never woken up THAT early before." Said RD.

"Well there's a first time for everything." Retorted Mayor who then turned to Spike.

"I saw you pestering Twilight to upstage Trixie! Didn't you think that Trixie may have just assaulted her like she did with Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity? Would you REALLY want to see her hurt just for showing off?"

"Gee, I didn't think of THAT." Replied Spike now realizing he actually tried to put his mother-figure in harms way.

"Well, you should have. Since you are a minor so I'll go easy on you, but you're hereby forbidden from eating any sweets or gems for three weeks." Said Mayor Mare.

"AW C'MON!" Shouted Spike raising his hands in the air.

Mayor then turned to Snips and Snails, "As for you two, you first have to clean up this mess you made as well as 120 hours of community service since you two are most at fault."

Mayor Mare started to trot away but then turned back to Snips and Snails, "And cleaning up the mess the ursa made doesn't count as community service." She took a few more steps but then turned again, this time to Twilight, "And get rid of those stupid mustaches!"

Twilight did as she was told.

As soon as the mustaches were gone Snips and Snails went, "Aw!" And Spike again threw his hands in the air and shouted, "AW C'MON!"

THE END


Author's Note

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh on Rarity. Her involvement was relatively too indirect. After all, Trixie kinda NEEDED her to challenge her for her show.

Snips and Snails are way too directly involved to get any less than what they get in here, so being minors isn't going to get them less hours.

Spike may have gave Snips and Snails the idea to bring the beast into town but Mayor Mare doesn't know it so he doesn't get community service.

To be honest I actually like Snips and Snails at first.
