Rejected

Trixie sighed. She had failed another magic show. She had invited every pony she knew to her magic show but hadn't been able to perform one trick without screwing up.

"What's up?" Asked Star Shine who was now a mare.

"I failed again" sighed Trixie, muffled as she dug her face in her pillow that was soaked in tears.

"Aww. Sorry kid, you just gotta keep trying" said Star Shine as she sat down next to Trixie on the bed.

"Maybe I should just give up" said Trixie as she wiped a tear from her eye.

Star Shine looked at Trixie startled "Never give up on you're dreams, Trixie" she said soothingly.

Trixie used her magic to make a tissue appear as she blew her nose.

"What if mom or dad find out?!" Asked Trixie horrified at the thought.

Star Shine's eyes went wide "I-i-i don't know what would be the punishment" she stammered.

"You've got it easy, Star Shine" sniffled Trixie.

Star Shine looked down "no not really" she murmured.

"What?" Asked Trixie.

Star Shine took a deep breath. "I was gonna tell you but I..." Star Shine trailed off as she looked at the wall.

"Tell me what? You what?" Trixie's mind flooded with questions.

"I-i'm expecting foals!" She blurted out.

Trixie looked at her in surprise. "Who's the father?" She asked.

"Dark Day" she said simply.

"Who's that? Do mom and dad know?" Asked a surprised Trixie.

"Yeah I told mom and dad. They were fine with it" she said as she lifted herself off Trixie's bed and trotted out the door.

Trixie shrugged as she took out one of her magic books. She started reading the two hundredth ninety seventh page. She heard a scream as she jerked her head away from the book. She galloped towards the screaming outside. It was her mother! She was being attacked by a Timber wolf! Trixie got ready to cast a spell.....KA-BOOM!!! It sent the Timber wolf right back to its cave in the Evergreen forest. Trixie looked at her parents with  a triumphant smile. But wait! There was two Timber wolves.

"Trixie help!" Yelled her father who was slapping and punching the wolf. The timber wolf snarled as it faced Trixie's father. It swiftly opened its powerful jaws and snapped shut.

"No magic Trixie!" Yelled her mom.

Trixie wasn't listening. She concentrated on a dissappear spell. Her hooves dug into the ground and....ZAP! The second one went running back to its cave.

She grinned as she turned to face her parents. They were scowling at her.

"Why would you do that?!" Snarled her father.

"Didn't we tell you  NO MAGIC!!!!???" asked her mom angrily.

Trixie flattened her ears "s-s-sorry I-i was juts to trying to h-help!" She insisted.

"Leave!" Screamed her mother.

Trixie's eyes went wide she took a step back "Wh-what?" She asked in surprise.

"LEAVE!!!!!" shouted both her parents angrily.

Trixie felt her eyes water up as she slowly trotted to her room. She got her saddle bags in her magic and put her stuff in them. Her cape, her hat,  bits, her magic book, a pillow and a blanket. She trotted outside defeated as a tear rolled down her face. She turned to face her parents "please" she whispered.

Both her parents stood there "no..leave and never come back!" Breathed her father. Skyster (her filly brother) was looking at her with a look of disappointment and sadness. Her sister was the last. She galloped up to Trixie.

"I'm so sorry!" She whispered. Tears were streaming down her face.

Trixie cried alongside her sister "it's my fault" she whispered.

Star Swirl gave her a nice bear hug.

Trixie closed her eyes and hugged back.

"Goodbye sister" murmured Star Swirl in a whisper.

"I'll see you in heaven" promised Trixie as she slowly trotted out the door.

Trixie settled in a small cottage that cost few bits. It had a bed, a bathroom,  a table and a kitchen.

She flopped down on the bed. She took out one of her spell books and started reading. She flipped to the last page. It read: ' to be a great magician,  you must have a great magician name. This will make you famous and get you lots and lots of bits! Here are some options:

The wonderful and marvelous ______

The amazing and vivid ______

The great and powerful ______'

That was it! Thought Trixie. "The great and powerful Trixie!" She said aloud. A devilish smile creeped up on her face as she let out a malicious cackle.
