The Great Treature

It is late at night, bright moonlight fills our bedroom entirely.

My little friends all fall asleep, snoring. But I don’t, I couldn’t. There is a very important quest waiting for me to conquer! I put on my magic hat quietly, draw out a map from my pillow, and get on the floor noiselessly. No pony have ever known this secret. Only I, the Great and Powerful Trixie, knows that there is a priceless treasure buried under this old castle. Whoever could have it, she could have unlimited magic power! Of course, I won’t let anypony know about it. This magic treasure only belongs to Trixie! I couldn’t help but giggle, but use my hoof to cover my mouth immediately. Silly Trixie, you might get that horrible monster awake! I pick up my map from the floor, creeping to the door as quiet as possible, and then rise up my body to reach the doorknob whit my hoof……

Squeeze……

Straining my ears, the only sound I could hear is snore back in bedroom. All clear. I lay down my map, close my eyes, trying to use the light spell that I learned earlier today. Trixie was the one who first summoned some sparkle in class! Trixie believed that, after one day of digestion with apple and some vegetables, this spell was completely mastered by Trixie. I could feel some spark came out of my horn. Yes, that is it! Once again Trixie have done something that others in my age couldn’t! Open up my eyes, I find that the light on my horn is bleak, not even bright than moonlight. But it is okay, this light is fair enough for Trixie. Picking up my map, I slowly move to downstairs with pale pink light on my horn.

According to my map, The Grand Basement is at the end of hallway. Looking at that dark, creepy hallway, I couldn’t help but feel a little chilly. Trixie walks though this path hundreds of time every day, no, thousands of time! Trixie knows everything about this dumb hallway! But……Trixie has never been here late at night, it is sooo dark and…… No! The Great and Powerful Trixie fear nothing! Show yourself, Nightmare moon, Changelings, whatever hiding in the dark! Trixie’s magic will defeat all of you, one at a time! I walk in the hallway, chest sticking out with pride.

Clank!

I break out a terrified scream, gallop to the basement door in great panic. What was that?! My entire body is trembling while I gaze to the hallway. However, the horrible impact sound of metal never blast again. Trixie gets it! There is a giant time machine in that monster’s room, if the long metal arm points the number twelve on top of it, this machine will create a very, very loud noise. After a period of time, Trixie proves that the number of noise depends on that short arm beside the long one, which is exactly the number it point at. Trixie shared this discovery to follow friends, which made them cheer with only admire. The Great and Powerful Trixie is just that clever! While thinking of my glorious past, I sigh with great relief. The hardest part start now, Trixie never went down in that basement, not a single time. Thankfully, there is a map Okra gave me a few days ago……

Wait, where is that map?

No! I must drop it while running towards here! Gazing to that pitch black hallway again, I couldn’t help but start quiver. I…Trixie doesn’t want to go back to that hallway. It is so dark……some mysterious creature might hiding somewhere…… B…But, it is impossible for me to find that treasure without my map! I close my eyes, trying to remember some details on that map. Lucky Trixie, Trixie can remember most thing about that map, even that sign Okra wrote down on the left lower corner! …Or maybe right? That doesn’t matter! The Great and Powerful Trixie will not be stopped by this insignificant trouble! Standing up on my hooves, I open the grand gate to the basement, carefully and steady.

The basement is much darker than hallway, but it won’t stop me! I start marching forward fearlessly. Trixie will not be afraid anymore, the only problem is lack of light, and it is nothing! However, the more I go deep, the more terrify I feel inside my heart. The silence, surround me like a huge clock, is eating up my courage. The air smells like soap combined with oatmeal, while I feel it just like breath of Changelings. The light on my horn becomes darken, I close my eyes, trying to squeeze a little bit more spark. But no matter how hard I try, I couldn’t lighten up the pink shimmer. Where is Trixie now? According to the map in my head, I should be somewhere near enter of dungeon and quarters of royal guard. I take a deep breath before choose the right path in front of me, then I decide to walk into the right one.

It seems that the right one isn’t the right one. I turn right, than right, but dark tunnel under my hoof never end. Why is want to come here at first place? Trixie want to curl up in my blanket, have a good sleep, while holding my Mr. Apple! Trixie want to……

“Who is down there?”

I froze while hearing this horrible, horrible voice. Oh no! That monster has awaken! I try my best to put out pink light on my horn, but I couldn’t, just like I couldn’t make it brighter. Darn it! I look around for a place to hide, only to find wooden wall and a closed door. NO! What am I thinking? Trixie never hide! Trixie will fight the evil, until her last breath! I take a deep breath, lower my body, facing the darkness upon me, fearlessly.

Bright yellow light appears at the corner.

I feel courage which was inside me one second ago disappear entirely. Trixie will never beat him. He will bring me back to my bed, and let me stand in the corner for entire morning, without my favorite cookie and story time! Tears gradually blurred my vision as terrible feelings gobbling me up inside out. No, Trixie couldn’t cry, not here. Trixie isn’t a crybaby!

“Trixie? Is that you?”

I couldn’t take it anymore. I fall to the ground, covering my eyes with hooves. Trixie is a strong filly, Trixie isn’t weak……I…I couldn’t cry……

“Ah, there you are, you little naughty filly!”

Warm yellow light bright up everything around me. I rise my head, find that Mr. Baird is standing in front of me, the light on his horn is as bright as the sun. “What are you doing here in the middle of the night, Trixie?” He gently put me on his back with his magic, smiling.

“Tri…Trixie is trying to find a mysterious treasure!” I turn around, try not to let this monster see me crying. “Trixie is almost there, but you ruin everything!”

“Oh, is that so?” he giggles, start to head back, “Sorry to ruin your big plan, Trixie. But you know what? Everypony should sleep after moonrise.”

“But, Princess Celestia never sleep!” I remember a bedtime story he told me. “The most great and power pony doesn’t need to sleep, Trixie want to be like that!”

“Ha! I know you will, Trixie.” He says while entering my bedroom. He lower his body for me to get down after carefully close the door behind us. “But first, Trixie must go to bed, understand? Only by sleep well, can you become a great and powerful pony.”

“Alright, Mr. Baird.” I yawn as soon as I climb on my bad.

“That’s my good girl.” He carefully covers my body with blanket. “Good night, Trixie.” He kisses me on my forehead.

“Good night, Mr. Baird.”

While holding Mr. Apple in my hooves, I roll over and fall asleep soon. I dream about the treasure. That is Mr. Baird. He smiles to me, just like a father.
