Sunset Shimmer awoke in the abandoned factory she currently called home. Sunset smiled widely as she got up. Her plan to bring down Gilda was successful and now she was setting her sites on Trixie Lulumoon. Sunset arrived at school and found Trixie in the cafeteria with Snips and Snails waiting on her hand and foot.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie wants to know why you're here." said Trixie.

"I'm here to talk." replied Sunset.

Sunset walked over to the table.

"Mind if I sit down?" asked Sunset.

Trixie rubbed her chin.

"Trixie supposes it's okay." answered Trixie.

Sunset sat down.

"I wanted to talk." said Sunset.

"Trixie supposes that is okay." said Trixie skeptically.

"I wanted to start over." said Sunset.

Trixie raised an eyebrow.

"We got off to a bad start and I want to change that." explained Sunset.

"Trixie supposes that is okay." replied Trixie.

"I never meant to upstage you." said Sunset.

"Like anyone can upstage Trixie." scoffed Trixie.

"I didn't mean to offend you." said Sunset.

"Trixie supposes she can be merciful and forgive you." replied Trixie.

"I must admit, I admire your confidence." stated Sunset.

Trixie laughed.

"It's a shame not everyone could be as confident as Trixie. It's a gift Trixie has." said Trixie proudly.

"That's right. Let your ego take over." thought Sunset.

"It's a shame not everyone can see it." said Sunset.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie agrees." replied Trixie.

"If only there was a way to show everyone." said Sunset.

Sunset turned around.

"Three...two...one..." counted Sunset softly.

"Trixie shall find a way!" declared Trixie.

Sunset smirked.

"It's too easy." thought Sunset, almost bored.

Sunset turned around.

"I think that is a great idea." said Sunset.

We'll totally help you." offered Snails.

"Yeah! It'll be the best show ever!" declared Snips.

"Trixie only puts on the best shows." said Trixie proudly.

"How about lunch." proposed Snips.

"But, when are we gonna eat?" asked Snails.

"The Great and Powerful Tixie refuses to miss lunch." stated Trixie firmly.

"If you do it during free period then we can whip up interest and you won't miss lunch." said Sunset.

Trixie jumped up.

"Attention everyone!" cried Trixie.

The others turned their attention to the magician.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie shall put on the show if a lifetime during the free period today!" declared Trixie.

The kids began talking among themselves.

"Attend or be in despair!" exclaimed Trixie.

"Well there is nothing wrong with a performance, I must remind you to use your in-door voice." said Vice principal Luna.

The VP had come to keep an eye on the kids...and get breakfast.

"Sorry." said Trixie meekly.

Trixie sat back down.

"Trixie shall amaze the entire school today." said Trixie.

"Or so you think." thought Sunset.

The day began the students of Canterlot High School attended their classes. Meanwhile, Sunset Shimmer planned her actions. Lunchtime came and Sunset joined the rest of her peers in the cafeteria. She told Flash she had to eat by self to "study" and made sure the others saw her. Sunset managed to sneak out and gab a bag from inside the library closet she hide the night before. Sunset then looked for Trixie's props. Sunset found the props hiding begin the stage. Taking a bite of her apple, Sunset put her plan into action.

"The pathetic saw your body in half trick." scoffed Sunset.

Sunset grabbed a nearby bottle of glue.

"This is too easy." said Sunset.

Sunset glued the box together at the point it separated.

"Let's see how you get out now." said Sunset.

Sunset Shimmer pulled a saw out of her bag.

"Let's see how you do with a real saw." said Sunset.

Sunset replaced Trixie's prop saw with a real one.

"Enough of that." decided Sunset.

Sunset found a number of wires.

"Pathetic fake levitation." scoffed Sunset.

Sunset grabbed a file and filed down the wires.

"Hope your drop isn't too hard." said Sunset.

Sunset found a spoon.

"The spoon bending trick." said Sunset.

Sunset rubbed her chin.

"Now if my research is correct, the trick is to rub it until it fatigues." noted Sunset.

Sunset felt the spoon and found it fatigued.

"Okay, she's worked over this one." said Sunset.

Sunset replaced the spoon with an identical copy.

"I hope you don't get tripped up." said Sunset sarcastically.

Sunset found the secret escape and glued it shut.

"This will be fun." said Sunset sinister.

The bell rang and Sunset went to class. Time passed slowly for Sunset who was impatient. Finally, the free period arrived. Thanks to word of mouth, spread by Snips and Snails, attendance was higher than Sunset expected. Sunset didn't mind as this only helped her. Sunset was surprised to see some staff even showing up including the principals. The lights suddenly went out and a spotlight turned on over stage. Trixie made her appearance.

"Showtime." thought Sunset confident.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie shall amaze and astonish you all!" declared Trixie.

An awkward silence followed.

"This is a promising start." thought Sunset.

"This is when you applaud." noted Trixie annoyed.

"Get on with it!" snapped Hoops.

Hoops was hushed by two girls.

"For her first performance, the Great and Powerful Trixie shall be sawed in half!" declared Trixie.

"Boring!" called Dumbbell.

The same two girls hushed Dumbbell.

"I'm doing anything and this is already working out." thought Sunset.

Snips and Snails rolled out the box and Trixie presented it.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie shall now allow her assistant to saw her in half!" declared Trixie.

Trixie crawled into the box.

"Or so you think." thought Sunset.

"Let me." said Snips.

The two lackeys where fighting over the saw.

"No, I wanna do it." said Snails.

"Just get on with it!" snapped Trixie.

Snails pulled the saw away and began to saw. However, the real teeth of the saw began cutting into Trixie.

"Oh!" cried Trixie, in pain.

"What's wrong?" asked Snips.

"That's hurting." answered Trixie.

The crowd began to whisper.

"I told you I should do it!" declared Snips.

Trixie violently fought her way out of the box.

"Idiotic so called assistants." huffed Trixie.

Trixie grabbed her "prop" spoon.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie shall now bend a spoon with only her mind!" declared Trixie.

Trixie held the spoon and staring at the spoon.

"Yet nothing will happen." thought Sunset.

Trixie still on the stage as nothing happened.

"Do something!" called Score.

The same two girls hushed Score.

Trixie examined the spoon.

"Idiots must have replaced my spoon." sighed Trixie.

Trixie tossed the spoon over her shoulder.

The Great and Powerful Trixie shall now levitate before your very eyes!

Trixie held out her hands signaling Snips and Snails to start a smoke machine.

"I could have sabotaged that. Oh well." thought Sunset.

Snips and Snails began hooking up Trixie as the noticed the wires seemed weakened.

"Um Trixie." began Snips.

"Hush!" demanded Trixie.

"It's just..." began Snails.

"Do as your told!" demanded Trixie.

Snips and Snails raced off stage and shut the smoke machine off.

"Behold!" called Trixie.

Snips and Snails began pulling Trixie up, but the weakened wires snapped causing Trixie to fall and hit the stage.

"Perfect." thought Sunset smugly.

Worried whispers traveled as principals rushed to the stage. However, Trixie groggily got back up.

"Trixie is okay!" declared Trixie.

Trixie shook her head.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie shall perform a grandiose escape trick!" exclaimed Trixie.

Snips and Snails brought the trunk onto the stage, Trixie got in and they closed it.

"Here we go." thought Sunset.

Trixie attempted to escape, but found the entrance wouldn't open.

"Just like I planned." thought Sunset arrogantly.

Trixie continued attempting to escape while students began laughing.

"Open that trunk up." demanded Principal Celestia.

"This show is over." added Vice Principal Luna.

Snips and Snails did so as the mocking students laughed.

"You are dismissed!" snapped Vice Principal Luna.

The crowd dispersed.

"Are you okay, Trixie?" asked Principal Celestia.

"Yes." answered Trixie hurt.

The principals left.

"Sorry that didn't go well trixie." said Snips.

"You'll do better next time." added Snails.

Trixie turned around seething.

"You idiots!" snapped Trixie.

"What are you talking about?" asked Snails confused.

"You two had one job: making sure everything went down perfectly and you failed!" answered Trixie enraged.

"We're sorry." replied Snips softly.

"That doesn't do a thing for me! You idiots are finished! I want nothing to do with you!" cried Trixie.

The two girls who where hushing the hecklers arrived.

"Hello Trixie. I am Lavender lace and this is Fuchsia Blush." said Lavender.

"We're huge fans. It's a shame everyone else in the school doesn't know how great and powerful you are." said Fuchsia.

Trixie's ego swelled back up.

"Trixie needs new assistants. You've got the job." said Trixie.

Trixie stormed off with Fuchsia and Lavender behind her. Snips and Snails where left sulking.

"Man, I feel bad for those two." admitted Flash.

"Having lackeys could be helpful." thought Sunset.

Sunset suppressed her smirk.

"I'm going to talk to them." said Sunset.

Sunset walked over to Snips and Snails.

"How are you?" asked Sunset sympathetically.

"Bad." answered Snails flatly.

"I can't believe Trixie kicked us aside!" cried Snips.

"Hey, I'm sure you gave it your all." replied Sunset.

"We did!" declared Snips.

"Yeah. We didn't do any of those things." added Snails.

"I believe you." said Sunset.

Sunset rubbed her chin.

"How would like to follow me around?" asked Sunset.

"Like...as our new boss?" asked Snails.

"Yeah." answered Sunset.

"Do you mean it?" asked Snips hopeful.

"Of course." answered Sunset.

"Thanks so much!" declared Snails.

"We won't let you down!" declared Snips.

"Too easy." thought Sunset.
