//-------------------------------------------------------// It’s Just a Trick -by MelonPeach8- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The Pre-Show //-------------------------------------------------------// The Pre-Show Starlight walked into her room crying. “Starlight, can I come in?” Twilight asked while knocking. “Why? So you can give me more reasons not to show up to Trixies show?!” “No I wanted to apologize, your right I shouldn’t have judged Trixie. If you want to do the show I won’t stop you.” Twilight walked away and Starlight called Trixie. “Looks like I’m back in Trixie. What time did you need me there?” Starlight asked. “Tomorrow at 4:00pm sharp.” “Thanks Bye Trixie!” “Bye Starlight.” Trixie hung up the phone and laughed minimally. “Hahaha.” The next day- 3:56 pm “Oh I really hope I’m not late.” Starlight said while dashing towards the spot Trixie told her to meet. Starlight finally saw Trixies wagon. “Hey Starlight!” Trixie shouted from far away at her. “I’m so sorry if I’m late, I didn’t mean to be.” “It’s fine, your here now and that’s what matters.” “So why did you need me here 1 hour before the show anyways?” “So we could begin.” Trixie hit Starlight in the face as she fell to the ground. 58 minutes later. Starlight found herself already in the box Trixie had layed out. “Glad your awake, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to go over what’s going to happen at the show.” “Huh? Trixie what are you talking about?” “Oh Starlight you didn’t really think you were my assistant or friend right?” “Wait, what?!” “I used you so I could saw you in half in front of an audience. Then Princess Twilight can watch as her star pupil becomes nothing but a sore memory in her mind.” “You won’t get away with this!” “Oh sweet Starlight I already have. My show starts in 1 minute and I placed a spell on you so you can’t use magic, along with created a spell that will make you keep smiling and you won’t be able to cry.” Starlight realized she wouldn’t be able to escape this terrible fate Trixie had brought opon her. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Show //-------------------------------------------------------// The Show Trixie walked up to he stage with a smirk on her face. “Welcome one, welcome all to the great and powerful Trixies magic show! Today I will be sawing my assistant in half!” “Oh, I hope this goes well.” Twilight muttereted to herself. “Welcome with all your hearts, Starlight Glimmer!” Trixie announced. Starlight tried to speak but realized Trixies spell had also prevented her from saying a word. “Now watch, as I saw Starlight Glimmer in half!” Trixie took the saw and began to cut the box she placed Starlight in. Starlight wanted to scream she couldn’t all she could do is tremble in fear as Trixie cut open her body. “Are you sure she’s alright?” A pony shouted from the crowd. “Yeah, she looks like she is about to break.” Another pony shouted.” “Relax, she is just fine. And besides, Its Just a Trick.” Twilight was starting to question if Starlight had actually activated the spell, and ran backstage. “Huh!” she shouted. “Trixie I don’t know what your doing but I’m going to give you one chance to put my student down.” Twilight shouted with aggression. “Oh princess.” Trixie shot a beam at Twilight freezing her in a block of ice. “Almost over Starlight.” Trixie said with a smirk as Starlight was cut in two. Trixie used her magic to put the boxes back together. The spell she cast on Starlight kept her eyes open along with the smile she had on her face. “Behold, the great and powerful Trixies assistant is back together!” The crowd went wild for the magic show as Trixie smiled. 24 minutes later Finally Trixie had finished signing autographs and was ready to unfreeze Twilight. Trixies beam hit the ice cube as it melted. “Welcome back Twilight.” Trixie said with a smirk. “Wait till I report you to the princess, you’ll be locked up in Tartarus forever!” “We’ll see about that your majesty.” Trixie used a spell that would erase Twilights memory about having a student and what happened today. “So Twilight, what do you remember from earlier this day?” “Trixie? When did you get here? And why am I behind your stage.” Trixie smiled with excitement as she realized she would likely get away with this. “Well, if you don’t want to be here I would leave.” See you around town. Trixie spammed the door and laughed over and over again as she realized she had gotten away with it. //-------------------------------------------------------// Starlight Do Me a Favor //-------------------------------------------------------// Starlight Do Me a Favor Trixie Lulumoon had posted posters for her new show and was headed towards Twilight’s castle. “Starlight, mind helping me out with something?” Starlight walked out of the castle a smile on her face. “Sure Trixie, what is it?” Starlight asked with curiosity. “It’s the saw in half trick, I know it is dangerous but I have an idea. You have a great grasp on magic and you could use that to make yourself invincible to the saw, so it would cut you in two but you would live.” “Well alright, if you say so Trixie see you tomorrow night then.” “See you then.” Trixie replied. 5:07 pm that night “Hey Starlight you ready for dinner?” “Yeah, I’ll make myself something.” “Something bothering you?” Twilight asked. “No, but I’m a little nervous about a trick Trixie asked me to do.” “Well what is the trick?” “The saw in half trick.” “WHAT! So your telling me at this exact moment you are actually going to do a trick where Trixie will saw you in half!” “She said there is a spell I can use so the trick won’t kill me.” “I can’t even believe you are considering doing a trick that Trixie of all people told you would be okay!” “I thought you were giving her a second chance!” “I am, but I don’t know if I would trust her in this situation.” “Maybe you’re just worried I might grow to become better friends with Trixie then I am with you! But right now I don’t even know if your my friend!” Twilight cringed and wanted to cry. Author's Note It’s my first story so be considerate please.
