Infinity Quest: QuillVerse VII
Boast Busters
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA Week has passed. Me and Spike where helping Twi practice some spells.
"Come on, Twi. You can do it!" Spike said.
"Okay, here goes" said Twi as she preformed a spell on Spikes face.
"Ha ha! Ya did it! Growing magic, that's number twenty-five" said Spike dawning a new mustache. "Twenty-five different types of tricks and counting. And I think this is the best trick so far. Hello, Rarity. What's that? Aw, it's nothin', just my awesome mustache" he continued.
"Sorry, Romeo. As attractive and enticing as you look, it's just for practice, and it's gotta go" said Twi as she took it away.
"Rats!" Spike said. Me and Twi had a good laugh at that.
After me and Twi calmed our laughter we all decided to go out to lunch.
"Twenty-five, Twilight. Twenty-five different kinds of tricks and counting. I thought unicorns were only supposed to have a little magic that matches their special talents!" Spike said.
"True, for ponies whose talents are for things like cooking or singing or math. But what if a unicorn's special talent is magic?" I asked.
"Like you, Twilight, and you know a ton of magic" said Spike.
"Oh, stop you two. I'm sure there are lots of ponies right here in Ponyville that know just as much magic as me" said Twi.
"Are you kidding? I don't think there's another unicorn in all of Equestria with your kind of ability, Twilight" said Spike.
"OK, that's actually impossible" i said.
"Gangway! Coming through!" Suddenly yelled a colt as they ran into Spike.
"Snips, Snails! What's going on?" Spike asked.
"What, haven't you heard?" Snips asked.
"There's a new unicorn in town!" Snails said.
"Yeah! They say that she's got more magical powers than any other unicorn ever!" Snips said.
"Really?" Asked Twi.
"No way, that honor goes to Twilight here" said Spike.
"How wrong you are Spike" i whispered so no one heard me.
"Where is this unicorn?" Asked Twi.
"She's in the town square. Come on!" Snails said. All three of us followed the two colts.
We walked to town square and saw a stage set up.
"Come one, come all! Come and witness the amazing magic of the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Said Trixie. "Watch in awe as she performs the most spectacular feats of magic ever witnessed by pony eyes!" she continued.
"My! What boasting!" Said Rarity.
"Come on, nopony's as magical as Twilight!" Spike said.
"There's nothing wrong with being talented, is there?" Asked Twi.
"Nothin' at all, 'cep'n when someone goes around showin' it off like a school filly with fancy new ribbons" said AJ.
"Just because one has the ability to perform lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us" said Rarity.
"Well, it seems we have some neighsayers in the audience. Who is so ignorant as to challenge the magical ability of the Great and Powerful Trixie? Do they not know that they're in the presence of the most magical unicorn in all of Equestria?" Asked Trixie.
"Just who does she think she is?" Asked Rarity.
"Yeah! Since we all know that Twilight here is—" Spike tried to say before being cut off.
"Spike! Shush" said Twi.
"What? What's wrong?" Asked Spike.
"You see the way they reacted to Trixie?" I asked. "She doesn't want anyone thinking she's a show-off" i continued.
"So, "Great and Powerful Trixie". What makes you think you're so awesome, anyway?" Asked Rainbow.
"Why, only the Great and Powerful Trixie has magic strong enough to vanquish the dreaded Ursa Major!" Said Trixie. "When all hope was lost, the ponies of Hoofington had no one to turn to, but the Great and Powerful Trixie stepped in, and with her awesome magic, vanquished the Ursa Major and sent it back to its cave deep within the Everfree Forest!" Said Trixie.
"That settles it" said Snips
"Trixie truly is the most talented, the most magical, the most awesome unicorn in Ponyville" said Snails.
"No, in all of Equestria!" Said Snips.
"How do you know? You didn't see it!" Said Spike.
"It's true, my enthusiastic little admirers. Trixie is most certainly the best in Ponyville" said Trixie. "If you don't believe the Great and Powerful Trixie then I hereby challenge you, Ponyvillians, Anything you can do, I can do better. Any takers? Or is Trixie destined to be the greatest equine who has ever lived?" Asked Trixie.
"Please! She's unbearable! Ya gotta show her!" Said Spike.
"There's no way I'm going to use my magic now, Spike. Especially since-" Twi tried to say before being cut off.
"Hmm, how about you?" Trixie asked Twi. "Well, how about it? Hm? Is there anything you can do that the Great and Powerful Trixie can't?" She continued. "Well, little hayseed?" She concluded.
Rainbow, AJ and Rarity all challenged Trixie and all got defeated. Me, Spike and Twi where currently in the Treebrary.
"Twilight, would you put down that book and just listen to me?" Asked Spike.
"Didn't you see how they hated Trixie's bragging, Spike? If I go out there and show off my magic, I run the risk of losing them as friends" said Twi.
"It's not the same thing, Twilight. You'll be using your magic to stand up for your friends!" Said Spike.
"No, Spike, it's exactly the same" said Twi.
"Come on, Twilight, any one of these tricks, even the tiniest, would be enough to show up Trixie" said Spike.
"I don't want to be seen as a bragger like Trixie" said Twi.
"But you're the best!" Said Spike.
"Please, Spike, I said no!" Said Twi.
"If that's the way you want to be, then fine" said Spike as he left.
After he left i walked up to Twi and started talking to her.
"He just want's you to prove to everypony else what he and i already know" i said. "That you are the best" i continued.
"But i dont want to brag" said Twi.
"I get that" i said. "Which is why im not asking you to do anything" i continued. "Im just trying to explain why he is" i concluded.
"I know that" said Twi. "I just dont want to lose my friends" said Twi.
"Would you rather lose them?" I asked. "Or your brother?" I continued.
After i said that Spike barged back into the Treebrary.
"Twilight! You've gotta come! Quick!" Spike said. We both heard a roar in the distance.
"Is that what I think it is?" Asked Twi.
"Yep" said Spike.
We all made our way to see the Ursa destroying the town. We ran over to Snips, Snails and Trixie.
"What's going on?" Asked Twi.
"We brought an Ursa to town" said Snips and Snails
"You what!?!" Yelled Twi.
"Don't worry, the Great and Powerful Trixie will vanquish it" Said Snips.
"I can't" said Trixie.
"What!?" Asked Snails.
"I can't, I never have. No one can vanquish an Ursa Major. I just made the whole story up to make me look better" said Trixie.
"Made it up!?" Asked Snips and Snails.
It was at this point i had enough. I opened a massive portal using the space stone and sent the Ursa back to it's cave.
"Sorry about that" i said. "I wasn't letting that thing destroy more of the town" i continued.
"So it is possible to vanquish an Ursa Major all by yourself?" Asked Spike.
"That wasn't an Ursa Major. It was a baby, an Ursa Minor" said Twi.
"That was just a baby?" Asked Trixie.
"And it wasn't rampaging. It was just cranky because someone woke it up" i said.
"Well, if that was an Ursa Minor, then what's an Ursa Major like?" Asked most of the ponies present.
"You don't wanna know" me and Twi said.
