Trixie Buys a Voodoo Doll

Trixie yawned and sat up in her bed, wiping sleep from her eyes. She was never a good morning pony, but something about her felt oddly pleasant. The mare then looked down, the Twilight doll was still firmly wrapped in her hooves.

"Oh but of course, how could Trixie have forgotten" She said, almost cackling to herself as she hugged the toy hard enough it let out a 'squee' sound. "Now, enough games" she levitated the doll away, setting it down on a side table "This is the time for revenge"

About ten minutes later

Trixie was proud of herself "The perfect disguise" she kept muttering to herself as she posed in front of her mirror, something the mare did all too often. Her 'perfect disguise' was simple, a wide brimmed yellow hat, with a matching cloak to conceal her cutie mark, a pair of tinted glasses completed the ensemble.

"There's no way those Ponyville simpletons will recognise me, despite how impressive Trixie is..." Trixie said, standing tall and pondering whether she should've put the disguise on after she pulled her trailer to Ponyville and not before, though she simply shrugged, a little use would aid in the effect after all.

After a trip that took her longer than she'd hoped for, Trixie could see Ponyville on the horizon. "Good, soon Twilight Sparkle will rue the day she wronged The Great and Powerful Trixie!" she yelled, standing tall on her back hooves for dramatic effect. "Trixie will have her revenge" she yelled again, slamming her hooves back down into the ground...and into something foul.

"Ugh ew, stupid countryside" she recoiled, rubbing her filth covered hooves in dry dirt "Stupid countryside and stupid Twilight...Twiglight...Ha! Twiglight Spraggle!" The unicorn mare babbled on, becoming more incoherent as she went, all the while her right eye twitching.

Trixie soon found a place to hide her trailer, just off the side of the road leading into Ponyville, she'd hastily moved a few branches to make it more inconspicuous, but it's not like anyone would be out here anyway. Inside she sat at her table, head buried in well washed hooves. "Trixie never thought thinking up a revenge plan would be this hard." she groaned in frustration, looking up at the Twi doll...it's empty stare held no answers.

"This is dumb, revenge should be easy, Trixie already has this stupid doll" she waved her hooves at the thing, hoping it would do something, anything. "All it does is remind me of Twiglight and it makes Trixie angry and-urgh" The unicorn slammed her head against the table, this seemed to calm her down a little, enough to come up with a very crude plan. She gathered up her saddlepack. Storing the doll in one side, in the other she filled it with all sorts, brushes, feathers, as well as a few left over arcane trinkets that she couldn't find a use for.

Now she was ready, she had a plan, a disguise and all the tools she could ever want, all that was needed was to carry it out. "Bah, as if Trixie could fail, this revenge plan is so easy she can do it in her sleep" The mare said, throwing the door to her trailer open with renewed confidence. "Oh, this shall be so so sweet" she grinned maniacally, jumping down from her trailer, into another pile of filth "Oh come on!"

One long shower later

Trixie had finally started heading towards Ponyville, the town of her folly, where her nemesis lived, where she'd get her revenge. As she walked she kept her eyes glued on the path ahead of her, she certainly didn't want a repeat of last time, especially when she was trying to be incognito.

Passing into the town limits she adjusted her hat, it wasn't as magnificent as her usual head wear, but it worked for what it was intended, to hide her appearance. It certainly seemed to be working, nopony was paying her any attention as she walked through the crowds, it felt although she were invisible. Giving her area a quick survey Trixie noticed something that made her fur stand on end "Oh no" she muttered to herself, ducking behind cover and receiving a few worried looks from passerby's. She peeked out from her cover to look at the rainbow maned pegasus, that was currently hovering alongside an ivory coated unicorn, they were both chatted and hadn't noticed Trixie in the slightest.

"Hmph, Trixie forgot Twiglight had friends" she kicked herself for forgetting something so important and made a note to keep an eye out for them. A regular pony might not recognise her, but these were Twilight's closest friends, they'd certainly know her. Trixie quickly felt all the stares and straightened her stance, casually starting in the opposite direction, until.

"Hey girls-" came a voice from behind her, a voice she heard in her dreams, reminding her how she lost, a voice that made Trixie's blood boil and her jaw tighten, a voice that made it hard not to yell out a cliche one-liner in an attempt to challenge it again. The voice of Twilight Sparkle, turning her head Trixie saw the purple unicorn join her other two friends. Carefully she skulked her way into earshot, pretending to look through a flower stall.

"Hey Twi, how's it going?" The cyan pegasus said, it wasn't hard hearing what she had to say.

Yes, do tell darling you look a little...hm..." The other unicorn asked, her tone one of concern.

"Oh it's nothing, just something weird last night kept me up" Said Twilight, obviously trying to brush it off. Trixie chuckled internally, at least Twilight is having trouble sleeping, she is obviously terrified of Trixie's eventual revenge.

"You aren't reading those horror novels are you?" Rainbow chuckled, alighting on the ground.

Twilight shook her head "No I finished those weeks ago...this...I don't know, I was probably up too late and my mind was just playing tricks on me" she shrugged a little, though the mare certainly looked tired.

"Well in any case you look like you could use a pick-me-up, tea? I'm paying" Rarity fluttered her eyelashes at the bookworm.

"It can't hurt" The purple mare caved, too tired to argue "Lead the way" the three headed off in the direction of what Trixie assumed was the cafe...she also felt an opportunity arriving. Quietly and as casually as possible she followed the three, she was too far to hear what they were saying, so she had no gauge of what their plans were and if Trixie was the topic of discussion. At some point on the way the rainbow maned one split off, flying up into the sky and out of sight. Trixie simply assumed she had some clouds to bed or something, she cared little about Twilight's friends, just the mare herself.

"Here we go" Rarity said proudly "The best seats in the house" she sat herself down at a table with a very good view of ponyvilles many hills and fields, Twilight sat opposite to her.

"It is a good view" she said, yawning "You know you don't have to do this, I'm fine...really" Twilight insisted.

"Oh hush darling, you'll feel better after some tea"

Trixie found a seat near the back and out of the way, it didn't have as good a view as Twilight's did, but Trixie had the perfect view of her quarry and hopefully plenty of privacy. She glanced around making sure no eyes were looking her way, before carefully pulling the doll out and setting it on the table. Looking around again she was happy to see she had noponies attention she carried on, this time pulling out a feather. The grin she had almost looked painful...

Meanwhile, about 25ft away

Twilight massaged her temples as she sipped her tea, she'd barely got any sleep after what happened last night and to be honest it still creeped her out a little.

"Twilight, darling, you look troubled, something the matter?" Rarity asked, taking a short sip of her tea

"It's nothing, really, I'm just tired and I-" She gasped, an alien sensation surged through her back hooves, it made her spine crawl and fur stand on end.

"Oh my, Twilight are you alright?" Her friend asked, resting a hoof on Twilight's arm.

"I...ah, uh yeah...I'm fine it's nothing" Twilight bit her lip, the urge to laugh was becoming painful at best.

"You certainly don't look alright" Rarity scoffed, looking her over.

Trixie fought the urge to laugh, this was simply far too amusing, seeing her arch nemesis squirm in her seat like that, she looked like she needed that bathroom or something. Trixie moved the feather up to Twilight's right forehoof, she was delighted to see her respond instantly, slamming that hoof down on the table, knocking over her tea and getting a lot of confused looks from other customers.

"I...I'm s-sorry" Twilight stammered, still trying to resist.

Trixie could already feel her revenge coming, but this was just a taster for what she had in store...
