Load Full StoryNext Chapter

It was a dark night. There was a unicorn standing on the cliffs above Ponyville. However, this wasn't just any ordinary mare. It was Trixie Lulamoon. Who claimed to be the most powerful unicorn in all of Equestria. Months after Twilight's coronation in Canterlot, Trixie had envied her old foe. Even if she apologized so long ago. Trixie even regretted she said sorry.

She stared down at Ponyville, towards Twilight's castle and spoke, "You will pay for everything you've taken from me, Twilight Sparkle. All the fame and glory you have should be mine!" The wind roared past her ears. "Ugh, this dreadful wind is messing up my mane. I need to find shelter!" She looked around, and eventually saw a cave. Trixie ran towards it for protection of the windy cliff.

"Finally. Now the Great Trixie can relax." She sat against the cave wall, igniting her horn for light. That was when Trixie heard an unfamiliar voice.

"So, you are the Great and Powerful Trixie Lulamoon?" The voice echoed from deeper in the cave.

Trixie scoffed, "Thee one and only. Why? Have you heard of me?"

"Much, yes. I heard of your magical abilities, and I think we could help each other out here." The voice replied.

Trixie asked, "What do you mean?"

The voice responded, "Have you ever heard of...Princess Twilight Sparkle?" The mare revealed herself from the shadows of the cave.

"Yes, and who are you?" Trixie questioned.

"I am Starlight Glimmer. A simple pony of equality. All cutiemarks should be forbidden. Everypony thinks they are so special? Everypony thinks they're so much better than everypony else? Well, I say not! My plan would have carried on through just fine if that alicorn hadn't interfered!" She exclaimed.

"But, your cutiemark is what gives you your power...isn't it?" Trixie retorted.

"Oh, Trixie...there is so much you need to learn..." Starlight grinned and walked to the side of the cave. She started to sing, "They weren't kidding when they said I was well, a bit different. Sure my magic could turn their lives tragic, but isn't that the point? And I fortunately know a little spell, a talent I've always possessed. Lately I've been blunt and lonely, but ever so slowly will I have my revenge! Poor little ponies. In pain, in need, I saw ponies all about with greed. Those cutiemarks were certainly a pest, but who will ever give them a little rest? They seek me for my help, all this asking and hoping, but do I help them? Yes, I do. Now this has happened once or twice, someponies just couldn't pay the price. And I'm afraid I had to let them all go. Yes, I have had the common compliant, but to the world, I'm a saint to those poor little ponies. Have we got a deal, Trixie?"

Trixie replied, "If I go with you, wouldn't that mean my cutiemark would be removed?"

"No, no. You'll have your cutiemark, you will need your magic. I'll explain more about that a bit later." Starlight remarked.

Trixie answered, "Umm...all right."

"Ahahaha...oh, but there is one more thing we have yet to discuss, the subject of payment." Starlight added.

Trixie looked at her, "I um...I don't have much..."

"The only thing I am asking for from you is a hundred bits." Starlight stated.

"A hundred bits--?!?!" Trixie shouted.

Starlight Glimmer sung again, "Oh, don't worry, you'll have your magic, you'll have Twilight Sparkle in your grasp, so what do you say? Together we shall rule Equestria, and no pony will stop us! Think about it! Anything you've wanted and more!"

"Everything I've wanted and more?" Trixie repeated

"Yes! Now are you in or out?!" Starlight pressured on her. "You're running out of time, do you want this dish served cold or do you want to give up everything you could ever hold?"

"I-I-I'm in!" Trixie declared, she paid her the hundred bits.

Starlight continued singing, "A fine choice you've made indeed, ponies will soon see cutiemarks that they won't need. We can do whatever we want freely without our talents holding us back!"

They sang together, "Those poor little ponies."

"I've made my choice, I feel it's right, I'll help you rule over the land, our task is now at hoof!" Trixie sung.

"Those poor little ponies." They sang again.

"Now that you've paid, we have much work to do, so we should start to get on a role." Starlight stated.

Trixie chuckled, "Twilight won't ever see this coming!"

"Those friends of hers won't either!" Starlight added on.

They both sang one last time, "Those poor little ponies!" Then they both laughed evilly, walking out of the cave. Meanwhile, on the other side of Ponyville, Twilight was freaking out over yet another visit from Princess Celestia. Only this time, Princess Luna and Discord were coming with her. Why she would even consider bringing Discord? Twilight had no clue. She must think that he's officially reformed, Twilight thought. Twilight had been cleaning all morning, and Spike was still sleeping. The castle was so huge, she hoped Spike would wake up soon to lend a hoof.

"Ugh! No! This book is covered in dust!" Twilight levitated a feather-duster and was certain to get every speck of dust off the book. "Oops, missed a spot!" She dusted over it.

Spike heard her running around the castle and woke up still half-asleep. He yawned, "Twilight, what's wrong? I'm trying to sleep..."

"Spike! Do you have ANY idea what today is?!" Twilight exclaimed.

Spike thought for a moment and shrugged, "The first day of Summer?"

"EXACTLY! That means Princess Celestia is coming to see how things are running in Ponyville, and she needs to speak with me about the Summer Sun Celebration this year!" Twilight explained.

Spike replied, "Ugh, I'll help clean if it's such a big deal to you. Sheesh."

"Thank you, and it is." Twilight began to clean some more.

"But why? She comes for a visit every other month, and it's been fine." Spike said.

Twilight looked at him, "This is royalty we're talking about! Everything has to be absolutely perfect! Don't you understand that?!"

"Okay, Ms. Perfectionist..." Spike trailed off after Twilight growled.

"You know what, Spike? Why don't you go and take a walk? I think it'll be beneficial for the both of us." Twilight said irritated.

Spike rolled his eyes, "Whatever." He dropped the broom and walked to Ponyville. He muttered to himself, "Why does she want everything to be spotless? It isn't like how when the parasprites were here. Sure, that was a disaster, but we cleaned all of Ponyville for no reason! I just don't get it!"

"Hi, Spike! Um...are you alright?" Fluttershy asked. Spike hadn't noticed that he was in the market-place when he bumped into her.

"Hey, Fluttershy...and yeah, I just wish everypony, especially Twilight, would stop freaking out about Princess Celestia's visit with Luna and Discord..." Spike had been cut off by her.

"Princess Celestia is coming to Ponyville?! Why didn't you say so?! Oh my, I should tell Angel and clean my home. I'll have to catch up with you later, Spike, sorry and bye!" Fluttershy flew off quicker than usual, but didn't fly terribly high, either.

"Ugh! Even Fluttershy is flipping out! It's just a visit from a princess! WHY DOES EVERYPONY FREAK ABOUT THE PRINCESSES VISITING?!" Spike exclaimed loudly. It had echoed.

A random pony gasped, "The princesses are coming to Ponyville?! Ahh!" The market-place was empty within seconds as Spike was trampled on.

"Oh, sure. Don't worry about the dragon. Just step wherever you'd like!" Spike grumbled. He sighed and decided to go to Sugar Cube Corner for a snack. Meanwhile, Twilight had nearly been done cleaning.

"And...there!" She said, levitating a book carefully into place. Twilight sighed with relief, "Hmm. Still two hours before the princesses and Discord arrive. I guess I could catch up on some studying." She read a book on ancient Equestria. Then there was a knock on her door. "I wonder who that could be? The princesses would be really early..." She answered the door, "Hello?"

"Hello, Twilight Sparkle." Trixie grinned evilly.

Twilight gasped.
