"No, no, no, no, no, no, not the Ursa! Anything but the Ursa!" Trixie screamed.

"Trixie, calm down. If it's anything like last time we can defeat it. Together." Twilight said, trying to calm Trixie down.

"You...you're right. Besides, it's just a minor right?" No sooner than the words had left her mouth, giant footsteps boomed in the distance. Twilight went out to take a look. When she came back, she was as pale as white.

"Trixie...that is most definitely not a Minor."

"What is it? Some kind of Ursa lower than a Minor?" Trixie chuckled.

"No. It...really is a Major this time."

"Stop messing with me!"

"I'm serious."

"Twilight, Twilight, Twilight. We are in the same time as before so there is no way..." Trixie said as she trotted outside. "...there...is...a...Ursa Major. Oh dear!" Trixie said as she spotted the Ursa.

"But you can vanquish it, right?" Snips asked.

"Yeah! You said you could!" Snails said.

"I...ugh!" Twilight groaned.

"Now you know how it feels." Trixie said. "Annoying isn't it?"

"I have to admit, now I wish I had given them a harsher punishment."

"You know, torturing them was the only enjoyment I got out of the Allicorn Amulet."

"So, what is it li-" Twilight said shortly after being interrupted by a roar of a angry Ursa Major. "I suppose it can wait." The four went outside together and faced the Ursa. It immediately turned its attention to Snips and Snails. "Again, what possessed you to bring a Ursa Major to Ponyville!"

"Well, we did find a blue one but we thought a purple one might be your style!" Snips said.

"You idiots!" Trixie shouted. The Ursa then leaned in on Snips and Snails.

"Um...no hard feelings?" Snails said weakly. The Ursa opened up its wide mouth. Snips and Snails watched in horror as the Ursa leaned closer to them. They were paralyzed with fear. The Ursa then ate the two and swallowed them whole.

"So...would anypony actually care?" Trixie asked Twilight.

"Well they are orphans." Twilight replied.

"Alright good."

"Trixie! Did you feel no regret that you couldn't save them?!"

"A bit...a bit..."

"To be frank...me too." The Ursa then turned to the rest of Ponyville.

"Twilight! Do what you did last time!" Trixie shouted frantically.

"It's not a baby! It wouldn't work!" Twilight shouted back.

"Well, we're pretty much bucked aren't we!" Trixie shouted,

"Trixie! Language!"

"Language doesn't matter now! You are going to die! I am going to die! Everypony is going to die!"

"Calm down. I'm sure we can find a logical solution to the problem."

"Wait, we can just use the elements! Actually, why didn't you use the elements last time!"

"Because...um..."

"Because it wasn't a "two-parter" silly!" Pinkie said as she arrived with the rest of her friends.

"Trixie, we've been looking all over for you! And why are you with her!" Rainbow Dash said pointing to Twilight.

"Um...she's my long lost sister!" Trixie said as she brought Twilight closer to her. "Make...this...work." Trixie whispered.

"Yeah! We go way back!" Twilight said.

"If you say so." Rainbow said suspiciously.

"Now onto the task at hand. There is a giant rampaging Ursa on the loose and we have to stop it."

"Hold on there! You said 'we'. Twice. What happened to 'Twilight'?"

"Ahem. I mean Twilight! Yes! That's what I meant!"

"Er...look! Giant rampaging monster!" Trixie said, trying to distract the group. "Get the elements! Quick!"

"Um...Trixie you can't just whip out the elements for every little thing!"

"Why not?"

"Because....because...I...don't know."

"It's because it's not a two parter, remember! But...since this is a fic, we'll make exceptions." Pinkie said.

"What are you...never mind. It's Pinkie Pie, don't question it." Trixie said to herself.

"I see you caught on quick." Twilight said. Trixie then grinned at Twilight then reached into her satchel for the elements. Unfortunately, they weren't there.

"Ha. It's...not here. Come on, Deus Ex Machina. Come to Trixie."

"Where did you leave it last?"

"I don't know! Ugh! Ursas! Ursas! Ursas! I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate THEM! I want them to die and endanger their entire species!" Trixie ranted. Twilight and the rest of Trixie's friends slowly walked backwards. "They ruined my life!" Trixie then glared towards the Ursa Major. "And now, I'm gonna ruin theirs. I'll kill them! I'll kill them all!" Trixie cried as tears ran down her face.

"Trixie! Calm down!"

"What? Did you have to endure this? No! Did you have to endure living on a rock farm just to make a quick bit? No! Did you have revenge slowly take over your mind and eventually take away any hope that you could live a happy life? No! Revenge, that is what makes life worth living! It's the best feeling in the world! It can give you a satisfaction greater than any game or award! It...it...makes you...happy. It made me happy. It made me hate you. It made me hate them. It made me do horrible things. It...made me not me. I'm...so sorry." Trixie said as she broke into uncontrollable tears.

"It's...alright."

"No! It's not. I...don't want to defeat the Ursa."

"What!? Why?"

"It's...revenge. I can't handle that feeling. It's too strong. Too tempting. Tell me Twilight, have you ever experienced revenge? Actual revenge?" Twilight didn't know how to respond to that. She had felt a little bit of revenge when Tirek destroyed her library but she had gotten a new castle afterwards. She had also felt that feeling with nearly every villain that she had encountered but she always got what she wanted. Twilight never had to deal with that feeling for long. Trixie on the other hoof did. Twilight couldn't imagine how horrible that must've felt.

"Not as much as you have." Twilight admitted. "But we have to defeat this Ursa. Revenge or no revenge. Some evil has to be vanquished. You can defeat the Ursa, but not in the name of revenge. In the name of good." Twilight said as she put her arm over Trixie.

"Well then, we have a Ursa to vanquish don't we?" Trixie said.


"Why is this happening? This is not supposed to happen! Trixie is supposed to hate Twilight and Twilight is supposed to hate her!"

"Fate is a unpredictable thing, my sister. You can't simply control it."

"Quiet you! A good whipping should do the trick!"

"Ahhh!"

"Had enough Celestia? Do you know how it feels?"

"Luna, what happened to your teeth?"

"Ah so you noticed! I knew you would! Well, let's just say, your nightmares will be coming true soon. Ha! Ha! Ha!"

"Twilight, wherever you are. I pray you are safe."

"Pray? To whom? You are one confused princess! Ahahahaha!"
