Spike stretched his arms as he stepped out of the carriage. "Man. I didn't think I'd get any sleep in a carriage."

Pinkie giggled. "I know, right? Those things aren't usually so comfy!"

Rarity looked at the wheel of the carriage. "By the way, did anyone else smell something burning last night?"

"No. I didn't." Twilight let out a huge yawn. "I didn't smell anything like that."

Fluttershy put her wing over Twilight's back. "You didn't sleep last night, did you?"

"No. The stuff we talked about was all bouncing around in my, uh, head." Twilight's eyes fluttered as she suddenly stumbled into Fluttershy, causing the pegasus to blush.

Rainbow took one look at the scene before her before bursting out laughing.

"Hey, if Stand Users are drawn to each other, then what effect will that have?"

The girls looked where Applejack was pointing. A number of worker ponies were putting together some wooden beams.

"I think that's for the foundation."

Spike pinched Twilight's cheek. "She means the school. Once it's finished ponies from all over Equestria will come. What are the odds that most of them will be Stand Users?"

"Oh. Uh." Twilight bit her lip. She hadn't told any of her friends that there would also be non-pony creatures attending. "Let's just hope it doesn't get too bad."

"Finally!"

The girls turned to the approaching pony.

"I've been trying to figure out which one of you it was for weeks now! Ever since I got my Stand! But now I know it's you! Twilight Sparkle!"

The girls look at each other, then back to the newcomer.

Rainbow placed her wing on her chest. "Actually, it's me. Twilight doesn't have a Stand."

"Do not try to deceive The Great And Powerful Trixie! Trixie knows a Stand User when she-"

Rainbow Connection moved in front of Twilight.

"Oh. It is you. It even sort of looks like you. Makes you seem rather full of yourself, huh?"

Rainbow snarled. "Oh, like you're one to talk!"

"HAHAHA! Oh, but talking is what I do! It's all about the show! For example..." The mare waved her cape around, summoning a feather-covered quadripedal creature with two black spaces where its eyes would be. "Behold! My Stand! When Doves Cry!"

Rainbow's eyes dropped. "Uh, yeah. Real intimidating."

"But it is! It is heavy as a mountain, incapable of leaving the ground no matter how much you lift it! It can track you down, even if you're on the other side of the world! And its blows can level anything it strikes, even the mountain that Canterlot is on!" The Stand's eyes lit up. "That is what my Stand is capable of!"

Fluttershy stepped back. "That sounds really dangerous."

The mare let out a laugh. "You have nothing to fear! It's Rainbow Dash that should be scared, since it's coming for her!" Trixie then leered past the brim of her hat. "Shall we begin?"

Trixie... next time you enter a story like this... how about not introducing yourself before the narration does? It kind of ruins the suspense if you do that.
