Ever since the Fall Formal that changed the lives of every student at Canterlot High, Trixie's magic shows have become nothing more than yesterday's news compared to the Rainbooms. After all, they have REAL magic, and combined with all that they've done for the school, The Great and Powerful Trixie seems less and less impressive every day.

Surely beating CP's greatest claim to fame will put her back in the spotlight. There's just one problem.
