Starlight’s horn began making a giant red cloud again which she bottled up again. “And you did the spell knowing that could happen you’re even more idiotic than I thought.” Noah said incredulously. “How dare you the Great and Powerful Trixie will not tolerate this foolishness.” Trixie said angrily. “Oh I’m sorry I’m the foolish one, your the one who did a spell making Twilight’s friendship map disappear excuse me for being sensible and calling you out on it.” Noah sarcastically remarked. “Well you don’t have to throw a tantrum about it.” Trixie huffed. “Okay can you two please stop arguing?” Starlight begs. Noah seeing how much this was upsetting Starlight relented “Okay fine.” “If we have to.” Trixie rolled her eyes. “Okay Trixie the map was probably in the last place you were thinking of where was it?” Starlight asked pleadingly. “Oh great question, I just wish you asked right after I did the spell I don’t remember anymore.” Trixie said with an oblivious smile. “Of course she forgot.” Cody whispered to Noah angrily. Starlight then bottled up a cloud of anger that formed. “No worries let’s take a walk around town that’ll jog your memory.” Starlight said eight a forced smile masking her annoyance. “Okay that sounds fun, oooh.” Trixie cheered. “Did you remember?” Starlight asked hopefully. “Nope but I thought we could stop for cinnamon nuts on the way.” Trixie said happily. “Oooooooh Cinnamon nuts those sound good.” Owen said in happiness. “Cinnamon nuts?” Starlight said forming a cloud of anger before bottling it up. “That sounds like a good idea.” Starlight finished with her eye twitching. “Yeah I was craving something sweet since I couldn’t have any tea cakes this morning.” Trixie said. Starlight then began to form another red cloud of anger that was expanding more and more. “Holy cheesecake what’s happening?” Owen asked scared. Starlight then noticed the cloud and bottled it up but the cloud of anger was too much for the bottle and it burst, the cloud then steeped into Starlight’s body, her eyes began glowing red as she glared at Trixie hatefully. “Uh guys why is Starlight looking at me like that?” Trixie asked fearfully. “Uh you’re about to find out.” Cody said in fear. “Starlight what’s going on, Trixie is sorry for whatever she did.” Trixie apologized. But Starlight only narrowed her eyes at Trixie and bellowed! "Oh, now you're sorry! But you sure weren't sorry when you were treating this all as a joke! You kept acting like it's no big deal if we don't find that table map! But if it's not there when Twilight gets back, she'll kill me! And it'll all be your fault! You didn't listen to me!" Starlight..." Trixie began in a desperate plea. "Twilight was right all along about you!" Starlight went on. "Ever since you came into my life you've been nothing but trouble! And I've been too blind to see the reality for myself until now! But if this is how you treat me when I'm in a jam, by blowing off my concerns and stuffing your face, I guess our friendship isn't that important to you! Admit it, all this time you've just been using me to try and settle your score with Twilight!" Trixie protested with a gulp. "That's not true, Starlight. Trixie has been sincere about wanting to be your friend, you know that." “Starlight please listen to Trixie she’s sorry I know it.” Cody begged going in between the two. “QUIET CODY!” Starlight screamed angrily pushing Cody out of her way. Starlight then turned to Trixie. "And you, you didn't listen to me!" Starlight snapped, her eyes glowing an ominous shade of red! "You ignored my warnings, bugged me while I was trying to make tea cakes and ruined them, kept arguing with Noah, and now you're going to drag me all over town because you can't remember where you sent that map that I HAVE to get back!” “Please, this isn't the Starlight Glimmer I know and love. Something's come over you." Trixie said pleadingly. "You're right, something has, YOU!" Starlight accusingly pointed a hoof! "You are the worst! I befriended you against Twilight's initial wishes, and all this time I led myself to believe that you really, sincerely cared about me! But now I see it was all just an act, and like a moron I believed it! Well now my eyes have been opened, I see you for the below-average illusionist you truly are!" Spike, Owen, Cody, and Noah gasped at what Starlight just said before Spike shook Starlight. “Starlight snap out of it.” Spike begged shaking the mare “Please this isn’t you, you don’t really mean that.” Starlight’s eyes then stopped glowing after Spike’s words. “You’re right it isn’t, Trixie I didn’t mean to insult you and I don’t hate you, I cast a spell and bottled up my anger but when the bottle broke it infected me, I’m really sorry.” Starlight apologized. “No; you have nothing to apologize for I screwed up too, I ignored your warnings and acted like a smug idiot I’m really sorry Starlight.” Trixie said in regret. “It’s okay I also shouldn’t have said those things, I promise to not hide my feelings from you and be honest about them instead of bottling it up or saying stuff I don’t mean.” Starlight promised. “And I promise not to be so self absorbed.” Trixie promised. The two then embraced each other. “Not to break up the moment but we still need to find the map table before Twilight comes back or we are screwed.” Noah said worried. “Wait I remember what I was thinking about now.” Trixie said happily. The six are then seen at the spa where the map table is. “You’re kidding.” Noah said sarcastically. “There’s more to it then that, I remembered how glad I was to have met Starlight and I remembered our first meeting and now I just have to teleport it back.” Trixie said glaring up her horn. “NO!” Owen, Cody, Noah, Starlight, and Spike shouted tackling Trixie. The six then put the map back on the spot where it belonged just in time before Twilight and the girls came back. “Hey guys what’s up?” Twilight asked. “Oh nothing.” Owen said innocently whistling. “Let’s just say I learned a friendship lesson while you were gone.” Starlight explained vaguely. “You barely graduated and you’re already taking initiative oh so proud.” Twilight said happily. “We learned a lot of things too about teamwork, trust.” Fluttershy explained. “And when not to sing songs.” Pinkie Pie added happily. “Well I certainly had fun but I could really use a spa day, and the Ponyville Spa is still open, anyone?” Rarity asked happily. “We’ll meet you there.” Trixie said awkwardly. The Mane 6 then left as Trixie began speaking “Quick do you have a spell that can make the Spa ponies forget the map table was there?” Trixie asked Starlight. “Haven’t you learned not to use magic to solve problems?” Starlight asks annoyed. “Pffft, hahahahahahahahaha.” Noah laughs hysterically. Starlight and Trixie glare at him before laughing along with him, and Spike, Owen, and Cody joined in laughing as well. Author's Note And that was All Bottled Up, Any requests on what episode of Season 7 I should do next? A Royal Problem Part 2Starlight, Cameron, and Gwen were then at the throne room where they saw Celestia and Luna. “So the map sent you to solve a friendship problem?” Celestia said happily. “Yes princess.” Cameron said bowing. “Well, there's nothing wrong here. Right, sister?” Celestia said. “No, everything’s perfect as usual sister.” Luna said sourly. Starlight, Cameron, and Gwen were then seen in the castle bedroom with three beds when they they heard a voice it came from a Twilight music box which. “Twilight is that you, how are you here?” Starlight asked curiously looking at Twilight who was now a music box. “I’m not, I’m still at home it’s an easy spell. I’ll show you later I had to check on you. Not in a meddling kind of way! In a friendly "how's it going?" kind of way. So, how's it going?.” Twilight said bashfully. “Not great we think there’s a problem with Celestia and Luna.” Starlight explained sighing. “Oh, no, that's terrible! I mean, what makes you say that?” Twilight asked. “You know when ponies and people say nothing’s wrong but you can tell there’s something wrong.” Cameron asked. “Noooooooooooooo Heh.” Twilight replied nervously. “That's basically what the princesses did when we said there was a friendship problem. Only they did it more, you know, regally.” Starlight explained. “Oh, I wish I could help you, but I can't – both for map reasons and because I have no idea! This is big! Like, really big!” Twilight said freaking out making Starlight and Cameron nervous. “Way to boost their confidence.” Gwen said rolling her eyes. “But I'm here if you ever need to talk. Or listen to music.” Twilight said while making the music box play. “Heh. Comforting right.?” Twilight asked nervously. Starlight just groans. At the table Starlight, Cameron, and Gwen were sitting with Celestia eating pancakes. “Thank you so much for breakfast, princess. I can't believe you cook it yourself.” Cameron said happily. “Of course, Cameron. I really enjoy doing it. It's a small way to say I care.” Celestia spoke. The door opens and it is revealed to be Princess Luna. “Ah Good morning sister, join us?” Celestia asked using magic to hold up pancakes. “Too tired.” Luna said sourly while eating a banana. “Excuse me.” “Wow last night must’ve been really hard on her.” Gwen said in a sympathetic tone. “Perhaps but she is like this every morning.” Celestia says sadly throwing Luna’s pancakes in the trash bin. Starlight, Cameron, and Gwen begin talking to each other after Celestia left. “So Luna might be hurting Celestia’s feelings so maybe that’s the Friendship Problem.” Gwen said. “Yeah but Luna also looked upset so we should probably check on her as well and get her side of the story.” Starlight instructed. “Good idea Starlight.” Cameron said happily. Back at the bedroom they begin talking to Twilight. “So I think Luna might be hurting Celestia’s feelings without her realizing it.” Starlight explained to Twilight. “Poor Celestia it’s so sweet she makes Luna pancakes every morning.” Twilight says placing two hooves on her heart. “She’s your mentor I think you might be bias.” Gwen said. “Fair enough so what are you going to do?” Twilight said. “Nothing, yet. We have to get all the facts. I asked Luna if we could spend some time with her this evening.” Starlight explains. A guard then shows up alerting Starlight, Gwen, and Cameron that Luna is waiting for them. Luna, Starlight, Gwen, and Cameron begin walking down the castle hallway. “Wow, Princess Luna. You do this every night?” Starlight asks in awe at the lavender flowers on the windows. “Lavender's calming scent is known to aid dreamers in achieving a restorative sleep.” Luna explains happily. Cameron then sniffs the flowers happily and began speaking “That’s so thoughtful.” “I try my best to make sure the ponies in this castle sleep peacefully.” Luna explains in a kind tone. Celestia then shows up laughing with delegates making Luna glare a bit “But as always, my sister is too busy having fun with dignitary ponies to acknowledge anything I do. Hmph!“ Luna says angrily. Starlight, Gwen, and Cameron began thinking on what to do to help the royal sisters. A Royal Problem Part 3Starlight, Cameron, and Gwen begin talking to Twilight again. “So we think Celestia and Luna are both hurting each others’ feelings without realizing it.” Starlight explained. “Indeed we decided-“ Gwen began before Cameron interrupted. “Reluctantly, very reluctantly.” Cameron added. “We were going to confront them.” Starlight finished for the two. “What are you crazy?!” Twilight said in a shocked tone. “No we aren’t, royalty or not they both need to be confronted about this.” Gwen argued angrily. “Thank you Gwen.” Starlight said happily. “No problem.” Gwen said. Celestia, Cameron, Gwen, and Starlight began having breakfast again when Luna showed up. “Hey Luna, Celestia, can we talk to you for a moment?” Starlight asked. Celestia and Luna curious stayed to hear Starlight out. “We think we found out what the friendship problem is.” Cameron explained nervously. “Oh that’s wonderful what is it?” Celestia asked happily. “We think it’s you two.” Gwen answered. “What?” Celestia and Luna asked shocked. “Well Luna, you never really acknowledge Celestia’s pancakes and Celestia doesn’t acknowledge Luna’s lavender flower decorations.” Starlight explains. “Well I’m sorry I don’t notice you making pancakes but I have rough nights.” Luna says angrily. “Oh please you have to go inside lovely dreams oh it’s just awful.” Celestia sarcastically returns. “Well you get to laugh with delegates all day Ooh sounds mortifying.” Luna exclaims angrily. “Guys-“ Starlight tried you calm the tension but failed. “You have no idea what it’s like to be me!” Both princesses exclaim angrily. “ENOUGH!” Starlight yells angrily causing both sisters to glare at the unicorn. “Heh sorry about the that but what if you both try to be each other, Luna can do Celestia’s duties and Celestia can do Luna’s.” Starlight suggested. “What?” Cameron whispered incredulously. “Sounds fun I could use a break from doing my duties all day.” Celestia smirks. “Well I’m looking forward to having an easy day alright Starlight Glimmer we will do it.” Luna exclaims. “Good choice I will have to switch your cutie marks to make sure you have the others’ powers to make this easier.” Starlight said. “Of course Starlight do what you must.” Celestia says giving permission to Starlight to swap their cutie marks. Starlight then performed the spell swapping the cutie marks of the royal sisters, while Cameron and Gwen just stared incredulously. The two sisters then split off to do their duties while Cameron and Gwen just rolled their eyes at Starlight. “Ugh well done Starlight what is this your third screw up.” Gwen glared. “Those two are probably going to upset the balance of Equestria because of this no offense.” Cameron babbles. “No they won’t because I’m going to help Luna get through the day while you can help Celestia with the dream realm issue.” Starlight said confidently. “You sure are confident, aren’t you?” Gwen asked glaring. “Yeah I am.” Starlight said tearing up a bit “Why can’t you two just believe in me?” “We do believe in you Starlight but sometimes you make not so good choices.” Cameron says giggling nervously. “Well fine I guess I can’t fault you for that but I will help Luna get through the day you’ll see. You’ll all see.” Starlight huffed angrily. A Royal Problem Part 4Gwen and Cameron were talking to Twilight while Starlight was busy with Luna. “So Twilight we think we hurt Starlight’s feelings and now she’s very upset with us.” Cameron explained. “Well I have to say guys, saying that Starlight screwed up not knowing what the results were yet while reminding her of her past mistakes might not have been the best choice.” Twilight said. “I know and I feel bad for what I said, I should probably apologize to her.” Gwen said in remorse. “You probably should but seriously she switched the princesses CUTIE MARKS that’s very impressive she’s got to show me that spell sometime.” Twilight began babbling. Gwen and Cameron then went out of the room and went to see that Luna was very tired while Starlight looked dejected as well. “Starlight what happened?” Cameron asked in concern. “You were right, I did screw up, Luna got the students’ field trip cancelled and accidentally caused a panic about timberwolves and it’s all because of me.” Starlight said depressed. “Well Starlight we wanted to say we’re sorry for-“ Gwen began before Starlight cut her off. “Don’t, it’s my fault for actually believing I wasn’t a screw up when I am nothing but one.” Starlight said tearing up “I’m going to bed at least there I won’t cause any problems.” Gwen and Cameron looked as Starlight left sadly before Celestia showed up. “Hello Gwen and Cameron, Starlight says we are entering the dream realm together.” Celestia greets happily. “Celestia you look well rested.” Cameron commented happily. “Why yes Cameron it was so refreshing to relax for once, how is Luna doing?” Celestia said with glee. “She has a rough day doing all your duties, also tomorrow you need to make a field trip happen and a Timberwolf issue you need to address.” Gwen explained. “Ugh Luna, well at least she knows how hard my life is.” Celestia said bitterly. “So before we head to the dream realm I have to raise the moon.” Celestia then raises the moon with little difficulty. “So shall we head off into the dream realm?” Celestia asked happily. “Sure.” Cameron and Gwen agreed before Celestia opened the dream realm for herself, Cameron, and Gwen. “So what are we supposed to do?” Celestia asked curiously. “Well from what Luna said we’re supposed to battle nightmares.” Cameron explains. “Oh no, how scary.” Celestia said sarcastically. The three then look concerned once they find Starlight’s dream. Starlight is falling from the sky as pancakes rain from above. “I care, I care, I care.” The pancakes said maliciously. “Ah.” Starlight screamed scared. She then fell on lavender flowers and ended up as a ballerina on a music box. A gigantic Twilight then appeared “This is big like really big.” Starlight then fell due to the shock and landed on the Canterlot castle halls and a purple Cameron and Gwen towered over her. “Way to go Starlight what is this your third screw up.” Fake Gwen glared. “You make not so good choices.” Fake Cameron glared. Starlight then began crying as the fake TD Contestants disappear due to Celestia’s magic. Celestia, Cameron, and Gwen show up and help Starlight up. “We’re here Starlight Glimmer what is going on?” Celestia asked concerned. “Going with my gut was the wrong call! I was supposed to bring you two closer together! But I've only driven you apart! If you two can't see why you need each other, then—!” Starlight said in guilt. “Then I am back.” A voice said evilly. “Mwahahahahahahahahaha.” Nightmare Moon laughed as the Canterlot Hall turned into a night sky. “Don’t worry Starlight, I know how to handle Nightmare Moon.” Celestia glared. “Yes but can you handle me, mwahahahahaahhahaha.” A fiery alicorn laughed. A Royal Problem Part 5Celestia began speaking in shock “This can’t be.” “If Luna can turn into Nightmare Moon, you can absolutely turn into me — Daybreaker! The better, prettier, and more powerful version of you!” The being known as Daybreaker said cupping Celestia’s chin before Celestia pulled back. “No I’ll never turn into you.” Celestia said in defiance. “Deep inside, you know how powerful you are. You don't need Luna.” Daybreaker spoke with venom. Celestia then looked at Nightmare Moon with sadness. “That's not true! Even when we were apart, I knew I needed her!” Celestia said with remorse. “Oh, please! You don't need anypony! You can do whatever you want. And all you have to do is get rid of anypony who stands in your way!” Daybreaker said before blasting Nightmare Moon. Daybreaker then began speaking once again “I never should’ve banished you to the moon I should’ve destroyed you!” Daybreaker then flew off to fight Nightmare Moon while Starlight looked onward in the forcefield Celestia made for her. “No, you can't do that! Day, night, sun, moon — Equestria needs both of you!” Starlight begged desperately. “Without balance there’s no harmony.” “Who needs balance when you can have it all?!” Daybreaker asks happily. Nightmare Moon then blasts Daybreaker making the latter grunt. “You can’t get rid of me that easy sister unless you plan on smiling me to smitherriens.” Nightmare Moon said mockingly. “Enough!” Celestia said angrily. “I told you I’m more powerful than you.” Daybreaker laughs. Nightmare Moon’s magic began humming making Daybreaker roll her eyes. “Ugh. So much black. We get it. You're sad. You could really use some... sun!” Daybreaker said before using fire magic on Nightmare Moon who used forcefield magic. “This is all my fault! I never should've gone on this mission! Now Equestria is doomed!” Starlight said crying. “She does know this is a dream right?” Gwen asks weirded out. “Sometimes the mind plays tricks on you and makes you think some things are real.” Cameron explained. “What was I thinking I’m never going with my gut again.” Starlight cried. “We gotta go talk to Starlight so this dream will go away.” Cameron said. “I agree she needs to gain more confidence in herself.” Gwen agreed. Gwen and Cameron then go up to the forcefield Starlight’s in and began talking to her. “Starlight this is only a dream everything is gonna be fine.” Cameron explained. “Well what about the real world we don’t know if anything is gonna be fine there.” Starlight says in tears “Celestia and Luna are sisters they’ll work it out.” Cameron encourages. “Yeah and plus the field trip and the timberwolf issue can be fixed. And you might have made the sisters closer than ever.” Gwen analyzes. “Really?” Starlight asks in tears. “Really I mean look at them they look like their happy.” Cameron says pointing to the two smiling sisters. Starlight then smiles until Daybreaker blasts Gwen and Cameron sending them to the newly made castle floor. Nightmare Moon noticing this distraction used a beam on Daybreaker knocking her off her feet. The two began to blast each other before Celestia went to the middle with her wings blocking the beams from hitting the other. “You can’t defeat me I’m everything you want to be.” Daybreaker said. “No you’re not, you’re not real and you will never exist again.” Celestia proclaimed spreading her wings and the lasers blasted both Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon and materialized them into nothing. Celestia then used her magic to send her, Luna, Starlight, Gwen, and Cameron to the real world. “Welcome back sister I know you had a rough night so I made you some pancakes.” Luna said happily. Celestia tasted the pancakes and was surprised at how good they were as Luna hardly ever cooked. “Sister these are amazing.” Celestia said happily. “Why thank you, I worked hard on them before you woke up.” Luna said. “How long was I out?” Celestia asked curiously. “About half an hour.” Gwen laughed. “Still though it’s nice to see you getting along again.” Cameron said happily. “Yeah I’m glad I didn’t screw this one up.” Starlight giggles. “You did more than not screw up your idea brought us together.” Celestia said happily. “The map was wise to send you Starlight.” Luna said happily. “Speaking of which we’re sorry for calling you a screw up, you’re our friend we should not say those stuff about you we could’ve been a lot nicer about what we said.” Gwen apologized. “And I’m sorry I acted so overconfident and acted like a jerk.” Starlight apologized as well. Luna and Celestia’s cutie marks begin switching back to normal. Starlight’s cutie mark and Gwen and Cameron’s bodies began glowing. “I believe that means your mission is complete.” Celestia said happily. “Wow I can’t wait to tell Twilight.” Starlight said happily. Starlight, Gwen, and Cameron begin walking off and left happily. All Bottled Up Part 1Starlight, Spike, Trixie, Owen, Noah, and Cody were seeing Twilight and her friends off as they went off on their Friendship Retreat. “I am so excited for this friendship retreat! I can't remember the last time we all got to hang out without having to save Equestria.” Twilight said happily. “Well, we are awesome. But technically, we weren't the last ponies to save Equestria.” Rainbow Dash said pointing at Starlight, Spike, Trixie, and Cody who smiled. “I was speaking in a broader sense.” Twilight said giggling a bit. “You sure you don’t wanna come with us?” “Yeah I have some comics to catch up on.” Spike declined the offer. “And I promised Trixie I’d help her practice magic it’d be better if the castle was empty if you know what I mean.” Starlight whispered. “Relax if anything breaks Starlight will just use mind control on us to fix it.” Trixie joked obliviously. Owen’s mouth was agape, Starlight nervously giggled and Twilight, Spike, Cody, and Noah glared at Trixie for her insensitive comment. “Kidding.” Trixie said with her eyes shifting. “So not that I’m not grateful, but why are me, Owen, and Cody all here again?” Noah asked Twilight curiously. “I came to see the magic show Trixie was gonna make.” Owen said happily. “Well that and because you three are in charge of Starlight and Trixie, I think the two need some supervision so Trixie doesn’t do anything out of Starlight’s control.” Twilight explained. “Fair enough.” Noah shrugged his shoulders. “Cool. I’ll see you all later.” Twilight said leaving. “Twilight wait, Starlight has something for you.” Trixie said levitating a pretzel bag out of Starlight’s saddle bag. “Huh?” Twilight asked peeping out of the train. “Here I brought you snacks.” Starlight said awkwardly. “Ooh pretzels, I’m so jealous.” Owen says happily. “Oh thank you we will not get hungry on the train.” Twilight awkwardly returned. “It was supposed to be tea cakes but-“ Starlight looked at Trixie a bit angrily though the show mare did not seem to notice. “It’s a long story, have a good time.” Starlight said. “You too.” Twilight said happily before going inside the train as it went off. Starlight, Trixie, Spike, Owen, Noah, and Cody were all back in the castle. “Okay Trixie what spell did you wanna work on next?” Starlight asked kindly. “Well, every self-respecting magician has a disappearing act, so maybe we could start with that.” Trixie answered happily. “Hmmm. Nothing just disappears, so that's technically a teleportation spell, and those are pretty hard. Maybe we should start with something smaller.” Starlight said with some reluctance. “No no no, the Great and Powerful Trixie goes big or not at all, just tell me how you do it.” Trixie says boastfully. “I don’t think we should do that.” Noah warns angrily. “Says who?” Trixie asks angrily. “Says me, I am in charge and I say we don’t do the teleportation act.” Noah argues annoyed with Trixie. “Well I am the Great and Powerful Trixie and I say we should do the disappearing act.” Trixie said angrily. “Besides I answer to no one.” Starlight’s horn began flaring as the arguing was annoying her which Cody noticed and raised an eyebrow at. “Owen did you see th-“ Cody began to whisper before Owen began speaking. “ENOUGH!” Owen shouted. “Look Noah, can’t we just let Trixie do her little act, maybe if she promises to just teleport something small and non-living like an apple?” Owen said trying to break up the argument. “Fine, I guess that’s safe enough.” Noah rolls his eyes. “I mean it won’t be as impressive but alright.” Trixie rolls her eyes. Trixie then turns to Starlight “Teach away mini-Twilight.” Starlight groaned a bit at this. “Well I always found that magic is tied to my emotions whatever I’m feeling fuels whatever I’m doing and the stronger I feel it the stronger the magic.” Starlight said “Right like when you were so upset cutie marks took away your friend your magic was strong enough to create a village and remove other ponies’ cutie marks.” Trixie said turning away with a smile. A red cloud then started forming with her horn alerting Spike, Owen, Noah, and Cody but then the cloud disappeared. “Yep thanks for the reminder.” Starlight said with gritted teeth. “See I’m already learning now where is that apple?” Trixie asked leaving the room. “Starlight what was that red magicy cloud forming on your horn?!” Owen asked incredulously. “I don’t even know I’ve been trying to suppress it but it keeps coming out it’s made of my anger that’s all I do know but I need to contain it so it doesn’t do who knows what to Trixie.” Starlight said before teleporting a bottle over using it to contain the anger. “Or you could just tell Trixie the truth.” Spike suggested as if it was obvious. “But how do we know if letting it all out will help it’ll probably make things worse, and if she knew what I was thinking she’d probably never talk to me again.” Starlight said in shame. “Well if that’s what you feel you need to do then we’ll hide the truth from Trixie.” Cody said happily. “Thanks guys you’re all great friends.” Starlight said embracing the boys and dragon in a group hug. Unlike Trixie. Noah thought with bitterness. “Alright the Great and Powerful-“ Trixie began announcing before Noah cut her off before she further upset Starlight. “You have returned we get it just put the apple on the table and don’t screw up.” Noah commanded bitterly. “Fine jeez.” Trixie rolled her eyes as she levitated the apple on the table. “If you could learn the spell before the girls got back you could be setting some sort of record.” Starlight said happily. “Challenge accepted, alright concentrating on the magic doin’ the spell.” Trixie said before Starlight looked worried. “No Trix wait.” Starlight tried to stop Trixie but before she could Trixie used her teleportation spell hitting the Cutie Mark Map, which disappeared in an instant. Starlight then fell over fainting and Trixie then weakly said “Ta da.” A Royal Problem Part 1Starlight's cutie mark, Gwen and Cameron's faces were circling around the cutie map showing they were summoned to Canterlot Castle. Twilight stood mouth agape not because of Gwen and Cameron but because of Starlight being summoned. "I know! I can't believe it either! The map has never called me before!" Starlight said happily. "I'm sure that's not why she looks... like that." Spike tried reassuring before Twilight shook her head snapping "Actually, it is. Well, it's that and the fact that you're being called to the royal palace! I mean, what in Equestria could be going on there?! You want me to come with you?! No. I shouldn't. The map just called you for a reason, right? Heh. Though maybe it's a mistake. Not because of you! Because it's never called just one of us before." Twilight begins babbling. "Um we were also called by the map but okay." Gwen speaks up. "Oh well you guys I understand the map can call humans too I mean look at Owen, Cody, and Noah but Starlight." Twilight said. "What's wrong with the map calling me?" Starlight asked hurt. "Well nothing but this is a big task it could be very important." Twilight explained. "Are you saying I can't handle it?" Starlight asked offended. "Well you don't exactly have the best track record." Cameron said shyly. "He's right, mind controlling Twilight's friends, making a village of cutie marks shall I go on?" Gwen asked with a frown. "Ugh you all think this?" Starlight asked incredulously. "I don't, I believe in you Starlight." Spike said with a bright smile on his face making Starlight blush. "Thanks Spike, glad SOMEONE isn't doubting me, c'mon guys let's go." Starlight said with her head held high leaving. "Guys maybe you're being a bit too harsh on Starlight, the map did call her so there's gotta be good reason for it." Spike told the others. "You're right Spike, but just in case keep an eye on Starlight." Twilight said. Spike facepalmed at this, this wasn't helping at all.
All Bottled Up Part 2Starlight began pacing “No no no no, you made Twilight’s friendship map disappear.” “Teleport.” Trixie smugly corrected sitting on a throne. “Really?” Starlight and Noah asked annoyed. “It was on top of the apple it was bound to happen.” Trixie shrugged off. Starlight’s horn began making a giant red cloud again which she bottled up again. “And you did the spell knowing that could happen you’re even more idiotic than I thought.” Noah said incredulously. “How dare you the Great and Powerful Trixie will not tolerate this foolishness.” Trixie said angrily. “Oh I’m sorry I’m the foolish one, your the one who did a spell making Twilight’s friendship map disappear excuse me for being sensible and calling you out on it.” Noah sarcastically remarked. “Well you don’t have to throw a tantrum about it.” Trixie huffed. “Okay can you two please stop arguing?” Starlight begs. Noah seeing how much this was upsetting Starlight relented “Okay fine.” “If we have to.” Trixie rolled her eyes. “Okay Trixie the map was probably in the last place you were thinking of where was it?” Starlight asked pleadingly. “Oh great question, I just wish you asked right after I did the spell I don’t remember anymore.” Trixie said with an oblivious smile. “Of course she forgot.” Cody whispered to Noah angrily. Starlight then bottled up a cloud of anger that formed. “No worries let’s take a walk around town that’ll jog your memory.” Starlight said eight a forced smile masking her annoyance. “Okay that sounds fun, oooh.” Trixie cheered. “Did you remember?” Starlight asked hopefully. “Nope but I thought we could stop for cinnamon nuts on the way.” Trixie said happily. “Oooooooh Cinnamon nuts those sound good.” Owen said in happiness. “Cinnamon nuts?” Starlight said forming a cloud of anger before bottling it up. “That sounds like a good idea.” Starlight finished with her eye twitching. “Yeah I was craving something sweet since I couldn’t have any tea cakes this morning.” Trixie said. Starlight then began to form another red cloud of anger that was expanding more and more. “Holy cheesecake what’s happening?” Owen asked scared. Starlight then noticed the cloud and bottled it up but the cloud of anger was too much for the bottle and it burst, the cloud then steeped into Starlight’s body, her eyes began glowing red as she glared at Trixie hatefully. “Uh guys why is Starlight looking at me like that?” Trixie asked fearfully. “Uh you’re about to find out.” Cody said in fear. “Starlight what’s going on, Trixie is sorry for whatever she did.” Trixie apologized. But Starlight only narrowed her eyes at Trixie and bellowed! "Oh, now you're sorry! But you sure weren't sorry when you were treating this all as a joke! You kept acting like it's no big deal if we don't find that table map! But if it's not there when Twilight gets back, she'll kill me! And it'll all be your fault! You didn't listen to me!" Starlight..." Trixie began in a desperate plea. "Twilight was right all along about you!" Starlight went on. "Ever since you came into my life you've been nothing but trouble! And I've been too blind to see the reality for myself until now! But if this is how you treat me when I'm in a jam, by blowing off my concerns and stuffing your face, I guess our friendship isn't that important to you! Admit it, all this time you've just been using me to try and settle your score with Twilight!" Trixie protested with a gulp. "That's not true, Starlight. Trixie has been sincere about wanting to be your friend, you know that." “Starlight please listen to Trixie she’s sorry I know it.” Cody begged going in between the two. “QUIET CODY!” Starlight screamed angrily pushing Cody out of her way. Starlight then turned to Trixie. "And you, you didn't listen to me!" Starlight snapped, her eyes glowing an ominous shade of red! "You ignored my warnings, bugged me while I was trying to make tea cakes and ruined them, kept arguing with Noah, and now you're going to drag me all over town because you can't remember where you sent that map that I HAVE to get back!” “Please, this isn't the Starlight Glimmer I know and love. Something's come over you." Trixie said pleadingly. "You're right, something has, YOU!" Starlight accusingly pointed a hoof! "You are the worst! I befriended you against Twilight's initial wishes, and all this time I led myself to believe that you really, sincerely cared about me! But now I see it was all just an act, and like a moron I believed it! Well now my eyes have been opened, I see you for the below-average illusionist you truly are!" Spike, Owen, Cody, and Noah gasped at what Starlight just said before Spike shook Starlight. “Starlight snap out of it.” Spike begged shaking the mare “Please this isn’t you, you don’t really mean that.” Starlight’s eyes then stopped glowing after Spike’s words. “You’re right it isn’t, Trixie I didn’t mean to insult you and I don’t hate you, I cast a spell and bottled up my anger but when the bottle broke it infected me, I’m really sorry.” Starlight apologized. “No; you have nothing to apologize for I screwed up too, I ignored your warnings and acted like a smug idiot I’m really sorry Starlight.” Trixie said in regret. “It’s okay I also shouldn’t have said those things, I promise to not hide my feelings from you and be honest about them instead of bottling it up or saying stuff I don’t mean.” Starlight promised. “And I promise not to be so self absorbed.” Trixie promised. The two then embraced each other. “Not to break up the moment but we still need to find the map table before Twilight comes back or we are screwed.” Noah said worried. “Wait I remember what I was thinking about now.” Trixie said happily. The six are then seen at the spa where the map table is. “You’re kidding.” Noah said sarcastically. “There’s more to it then that, I remembered how glad I was to have met Starlight and I remembered our first meeting and now I just have to teleport it back.” Trixie said glaring up her horn. “NO!” Owen, Cody, Noah, Starlight, and Spike shouted tackling Trixie. The six then put the map back on the spot where it belonged just in time before Twilight and the girls came back. “Hey guys what’s up?” Twilight asked. “Oh nothing.” Owen said innocently whistling. “Let’s just say I learned a friendship lesson while you were gone.” Starlight explained vaguely. “You barely graduated and you’re already taking initiative oh so proud.” Twilight said happily. “We learned a lot of things too about teamwork, trust.” Fluttershy explained. “And when not to sing songs.” Pinkie Pie added happily. “Well I certainly had fun but I could really use a spa day, and the Ponyville Spa is still open, anyone?” Rarity asked happily. “We’ll meet you there.” Trixie said awkwardly. The Mane 6 then left as Trixie began speaking “Quick do you have a spell that can make the Spa ponies forget the map table was there?” Trixie asked Starlight. “Haven’t you learned not to use magic to solve problems?” Starlight asks annoyed. “Pffft, hahahahahahahahaha.” Noah laughs hysterically. Starlight and Trixie glare at him before laughing along with him, and Spike, Owen, and Cody joined in laughing as well. Author's Note And that was All Bottled Up, Any requests on what episode of Season 7 I should do next?
A Royal Problem Part 2Starlight, Cameron, and Gwen were then at the throne room where they saw Celestia and Luna. “So the map sent you to solve a friendship problem?” Celestia said happily. “Yes princess.” Cameron said bowing. “Well, there's nothing wrong here. Right, sister?” Celestia said. “No, everything’s perfect as usual sister.” Luna said sourly. Starlight, Cameron, and Gwen were then seen in the castle bedroom with three beds when they they heard a voice it came from a Twilight music box which. “Twilight is that you, how are you here?” Starlight asked curiously looking at Twilight who was now a music box. “I’m not, I’m still at home it’s an easy spell. I’ll show you later I had to check on you. Not in a meddling kind of way! In a friendly "how's it going?" kind of way. So, how's it going?.” Twilight said bashfully. “Not great we think there’s a problem with Celestia and Luna.” Starlight explained sighing. “Oh, no, that's terrible! I mean, what makes you say that?” Twilight asked. “You know when ponies and people say nothing’s wrong but you can tell there’s something wrong.” Cameron asked. “Noooooooooooooo Heh.” Twilight replied nervously. “That's basically what the princesses did when we said there was a friendship problem. Only they did it more, you know, regally.” Starlight explained. “Oh, I wish I could help you, but I can't – both for map reasons and because I have no idea! This is big! Like, really big!” Twilight said freaking out making Starlight and Cameron nervous. “Way to boost their confidence.” Gwen said rolling her eyes. “But I'm here if you ever need to talk. Or listen to music.” Twilight said while making the music box play. “Heh. Comforting right.?” Twilight asked nervously. Starlight just groans. At the table Starlight, Cameron, and Gwen were sitting with Celestia eating pancakes. “Thank you so much for breakfast, princess. I can't believe you cook it yourself.” Cameron said happily. “Of course, Cameron. I really enjoy doing it. It's a small way to say I care.” Celestia spoke. The door opens and it is revealed to be Princess Luna. “Ah Good morning sister, join us?” Celestia asked using magic to hold up pancakes. “Too tired.” Luna said sourly while eating a banana. “Excuse me.” “Wow last night must’ve been really hard on her.” Gwen said in a sympathetic tone. “Perhaps but she is like this every morning.” Celestia says sadly throwing Luna’s pancakes in the trash bin. Starlight, Cameron, and Gwen begin talking to each other after Celestia left. “So Luna might be hurting Celestia’s feelings so maybe that’s the Friendship Problem.” Gwen said. “Yeah but Luna also looked upset so we should probably check on her as well and get her side of the story.” Starlight instructed. “Good idea Starlight.” Cameron said happily. Back at the bedroom they begin talking to Twilight. “So I think Luna might be hurting Celestia’s feelings without her realizing it.” Starlight explained to Twilight. “Poor Celestia it’s so sweet she makes Luna pancakes every morning.” Twilight says placing two hooves on her heart. “She’s your mentor I think you might be bias.” Gwen said. “Fair enough so what are you going to do?” Twilight said. “Nothing, yet. We have to get all the facts. I asked Luna if we could spend some time with her this evening.” Starlight explains. A guard then shows up alerting Starlight, Gwen, and Cameron that Luna is waiting for them. Luna, Starlight, Gwen, and Cameron begin walking down the castle hallway. “Wow, Princess Luna. You do this every night?” Starlight asks in awe at the lavender flowers on the windows. “Lavender's calming scent is known to aid dreamers in achieving a restorative sleep.” Luna explains happily. Cameron then sniffs the flowers happily and began speaking “That’s so thoughtful.” “I try my best to make sure the ponies in this castle sleep peacefully.” Luna explains in a kind tone. Celestia then shows up laughing with delegates making Luna glare a bit “But as always, my sister is too busy having fun with dignitary ponies to acknowledge anything I do. Hmph!“ Luna says angrily. Starlight, Gwen, and Cameron began thinking on what to do to help the royal sisters.
A Royal Problem Part 3Starlight, Cameron, and Gwen begin talking to Twilight again. “So we think Celestia and Luna are both hurting each others’ feelings without realizing it.” Starlight explained. “Indeed we decided-“ Gwen began before Cameron interrupted. “Reluctantly, very reluctantly.” Cameron added. “We were going to confront them.” Starlight finished for the two. “What are you crazy?!” Twilight said in a shocked tone. “No we aren’t, royalty or not they both need to be confronted about this.” Gwen argued angrily. “Thank you Gwen.” Starlight said happily. “No problem.” Gwen said. Celestia, Cameron, Gwen, and Starlight began having breakfast again when Luna showed up. “Hey Luna, Celestia, can we talk to you for a moment?” Starlight asked. Celestia and Luna curious stayed to hear Starlight out. “We think we found out what the friendship problem is.” Cameron explained nervously. “Oh that’s wonderful what is it?” Celestia asked happily. “We think it’s you two.” Gwen answered. “What?” Celestia and Luna asked shocked. “Well Luna, you never really acknowledge Celestia’s pancakes and Celestia doesn’t acknowledge Luna’s lavender flower decorations.” Starlight explains. “Well I’m sorry I don’t notice you making pancakes but I have rough nights.” Luna says angrily. “Oh please you have to go inside lovely dreams oh it’s just awful.” Celestia sarcastically returns. “Well you get to laugh with delegates all day Ooh sounds mortifying.” Luna exclaims angrily. “Guys-“ Starlight tried you calm the tension but failed. “You have no idea what it’s like to be me!” Both princesses exclaim angrily. “ENOUGH!” Starlight yells angrily causing both sisters to glare at the unicorn. “Heh sorry about the that but what if you both try to be each other, Luna can do Celestia’s duties and Celestia can do Luna’s.” Starlight suggested. “What?” Cameron whispered incredulously. “Sounds fun I could use a break from doing my duties all day.” Celestia smirks. “Well I’m looking forward to having an easy day alright Starlight Glimmer we will do it.” Luna exclaims. “Good choice I will have to switch your cutie marks to make sure you have the others’ powers to make this easier.” Starlight said. “Of course Starlight do what you must.” Celestia says giving permission to Starlight to swap their cutie marks. Starlight then performed the spell swapping the cutie marks of the royal sisters, while Cameron and Gwen just stared incredulously. The two sisters then split off to do their duties while Cameron and Gwen just rolled their eyes at Starlight. “Ugh well done Starlight what is this your third screw up.” Gwen glared. “Those two are probably going to upset the balance of Equestria because of this no offense.” Cameron babbles. “No they won’t because I’m going to help Luna get through the day while you can help Celestia with the dream realm issue.” Starlight said confidently. “You sure are confident, aren’t you?” Gwen asked glaring. “Yeah I am.” Starlight said tearing up a bit “Why can’t you two just believe in me?” “We do believe in you Starlight but sometimes you make not so good choices.” Cameron says giggling nervously. “Well fine I guess I can’t fault you for that but I will help Luna get through the day you’ll see. You’ll all see.” Starlight huffed angrily.
A Royal Problem Part 4Gwen and Cameron were talking to Twilight while Starlight was busy with Luna. “So Twilight we think we hurt Starlight’s feelings and now she’s very upset with us.” Cameron explained. “Well I have to say guys, saying that Starlight screwed up not knowing what the results were yet while reminding her of her past mistakes might not have been the best choice.” Twilight said. “I know and I feel bad for what I said, I should probably apologize to her.” Gwen said in remorse. “You probably should but seriously she switched the princesses CUTIE MARKS that’s very impressive she’s got to show me that spell sometime.” Twilight began babbling. Gwen and Cameron then went out of the room and went to see that Luna was very tired while Starlight looked dejected as well. “Starlight what happened?” Cameron asked in concern. “You were right, I did screw up, Luna got the students’ field trip cancelled and accidentally caused a panic about timberwolves and it’s all because of me.” Starlight said depressed. “Well Starlight we wanted to say we’re sorry for-“ Gwen began before Starlight cut her off. “Don’t, it’s my fault for actually believing I wasn’t a screw up when I am nothing but one.” Starlight said tearing up “I’m going to bed at least there I won’t cause any problems.” Gwen and Cameron looked as Starlight left sadly before Celestia showed up. “Hello Gwen and Cameron, Starlight says we are entering the dream realm together.” Celestia greets happily. “Celestia you look well rested.” Cameron commented happily. “Why yes Cameron it was so refreshing to relax for once, how is Luna doing?” Celestia said with glee. “She has a rough day doing all your duties, also tomorrow you need to make a field trip happen and a Timberwolf issue you need to address.” Gwen explained. “Ugh Luna, well at least she knows how hard my life is.” Celestia said bitterly. “So before we head to the dream realm I have to raise the moon.” Celestia then raises the moon with little difficulty. “So shall we head off into the dream realm?” Celestia asked happily. “Sure.” Cameron and Gwen agreed before Celestia opened the dream realm for herself, Cameron, and Gwen. “So what are we supposed to do?” Celestia asked curiously. “Well from what Luna said we’re supposed to battle nightmares.” Cameron explains. “Oh no, how scary.” Celestia said sarcastically. The three then look concerned once they find Starlight’s dream. Starlight is falling from the sky as pancakes rain from above. “I care, I care, I care.” The pancakes said maliciously. “Ah.” Starlight screamed scared. She then fell on lavender flowers and ended up as a ballerina on a music box. A gigantic Twilight then appeared “This is big like really big.” Starlight then fell due to the shock and landed on the Canterlot castle halls and a purple Cameron and Gwen towered over her. “Way to go Starlight what is this your third screw up.” Fake Gwen glared. “You make not so good choices.” Fake Cameron glared. Starlight then began crying as the fake TD Contestants disappear due to Celestia’s magic. Celestia, Cameron, and Gwen show up and help Starlight up. “We’re here Starlight Glimmer what is going on?” Celestia asked concerned. “Going with my gut was the wrong call! I was supposed to bring you two closer together! But I've only driven you apart! If you two can't see why you need each other, then—!” Starlight said in guilt. “Then I am back.” A voice said evilly. “Mwahahahahahahahahaha.” Nightmare Moon laughed as the Canterlot Hall turned into a night sky. “Don’t worry Starlight, I know how to handle Nightmare Moon.” Celestia glared. “Yes but can you handle me, mwahahahahaahhahaha.” A fiery alicorn laughed.
A Royal Problem Part 5Celestia began speaking in shock “This can’t be.” “If Luna can turn into Nightmare Moon, you can absolutely turn into me — Daybreaker! The better, prettier, and more powerful version of you!” The being known as Daybreaker said cupping Celestia’s chin before Celestia pulled back. “No I’ll never turn into you.” Celestia said in defiance. “Deep inside, you know how powerful you are. You don't need Luna.” Daybreaker spoke with venom. Celestia then looked at Nightmare Moon with sadness. “That's not true! Even when we were apart, I knew I needed her!” Celestia said with remorse. “Oh, please! You don't need anypony! You can do whatever you want. And all you have to do is get rid of anypony who stands in your way!” Daybreaker said before blasting Nightmare Moon. Daybreaker then began speaking once again “I never should’ve banished you to the moon I should’ve destroyed you!” Daybreaker then flew off to fight Nightmare Moon while Starlight looked onward in the forcefield Celestia made for her. “No, you can't do that! Day, night, sun, moon — Equestria needs both of you!” Starlight begged desperately. “Without balance there’s no harmony.” “Who needs balance when you can have it all?!” Daybreaker asks happily. Nightmare Moon then blasts Daybreaker making the latter grunt. “You can’t get rid of me that easy sister unless you plan on smiling me to smitherriens.” Nightmare Moon said mockingly. “Enough!” Celestia said angrily. “I told you I’m more powerful than you.” Daybreaker laughs. Nightmare Moon’s magic began humming making Daybreaker roll her eyes. “Ugh. So much black. We get it. You're sad. You could really use some... sun!” Daybreaker said before using fire magic on Nightmare Moon who used forcefield magic. “This is all my fault! I never should've gone on this mission! Now Equestria is doomed!” Starlight said crying. “She does know this is a dream right?” Gwen asks weirded out. “Sometimes the mind plays tricks on you and makes you think some things are real.” Cameron explained. “What was I thinking I’m never going with my gut again.” Starlight cried. “We gotta go talk to Starlight so this dream will go away.” Cameron said. “I agree she needs to gain more confidence in herself.” Gwen agreed. Gwen and Cameron then go up to the forcefield Starlight’s in and began talking to her. “Starlight this is only a dream everything is gonna be fine.” Cameron explained. “Well what about the real world we don’t know if anything is gonna be fine there.” Starlight says in tears “Celestia and Luna are sisters they’ll work it out.” Cameron encourages. “Yeah and plus the field trip and the timberwolf issue can be fixed. And you might have made the sisters closer than ever.” Gwen analyzes. “Really?” Starlight asks in tears. “Really I mean look at them they look like their happy.” Cameron says pointing to the two smiling sisters. Starlight then smiles until Daybreaker blasts Gwen and Cameron sending them to the newly made castle floor. Nightmare Moon noticing this distraction used a beam on Daybreaker knocking her off her feet. The two began to blast each other before Celestia went to the middle with her wings blocking the beams from hitting the other. “You can’t defeat me I’m everything you want to be.” Daybreaker said. “No you’re not, you’re not real and you will never exist again.” Celestia proclaimed spreading her wings and the lasers blasted both Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon and materialized them into nothing. Celestia then used her magic to send her, Luna, Starlight, Gwen, and Cameron to the real world. “Welcome back sister I know you had a rough night so I made you some pancakes.” Luna said happily. Celestia tasted the pancakes and was surprised at how good they were as Luna hardly ever cooked. “Sister these are amazing.” Celestia said happily. “Why thank you, I worked hard on them before you woke up.” Luna said. “How long was I out?” Celestia asked curiously. “About half an hour.” Gwen laughed. “Still though it’s nice to see you getting along again.” Cameron said happily. “Yeah I’m glad I didn’t screw this one up.” Starlight giggles. “You did more than not screw up your idea brought us together.” Celestia said happily. “The map was wise to send you Starlight.” Luna said happily. “Speaking of which we’re sorry for calling you a screw up, you’re our friend we should not say those stuff about you we could’ve been a lot nicer about what we said.” Gwen apologized. “And I’m sorry I acted so overconfident and acted like a jerk.” Starlight apologized as well. Luna and Celestia’s cutie marks begin switching back to normal. Starlight’s cutie mark and Gwen and Cameron’s bodies began glowing. “I believe that means your mission is complete.” Celestia said happily. “Wow I can’t wait to tell Twilight.” Starlight said happily. Starlight, Gwen, and Cameron begin walking off and left happily.
All Bottled Up Part 1Starlight, Spike, Trixie, Owen, Noah, and Cody were seeing Twilight and her friends off as they went off on their Friendship Retreat. “I am so excited for this friendship retreat! I can't remember the last time we all got to hang out without having to save Equestria.” Twilight said happily. “Well, we are awesome. But technically, we weren't the last ponies to save Equestria.” Rainbow Dash said pointing at Starlight, Spike, Trixie, and Cody who smiled. “I was speaking in a broader sense.” Twilight said giggling a bit. “You sure you don’t wanna come with us?” “Yeah I have some comics to catch up on.” Spike declined the offer. “And I promised Trixie I’d help her practice magic it’d be better if the castle was empty if you know what I mean.” Starlight whispered. “Relax if anything breaks Starlight will just use mind control on us to fix it.” Trixie joked obliviously. Owen’s mouth was agape, Starlight nervously giggled and Twilight, Spike, Cody, and Noah glared at Trixie for her insensitive comment. “Kidding.” Trixie said with her eyes shifting. “So not that I’m not grateful, but why are me, Owen, and Cody all here again?” Noah asked Twilight curiously. “I came to see the magic show Trixie was gonna make.” Owen said happily. “Well that and because you three are in charge of Starlight and Trixie, I think the two need some supervision so Trixie doesn’t do anything out of Starlight’s control.” Twilight explained. “Fair enough.” Noah shrugged his shoulders. “Cool. I’ll see you all later.” Twilight said leaving. “Twilight wait, Starlight has something for you.” Trixie said levitating a pretzel bag out of Starlight’s saddle bag. “Huh?” Twilight asked peeping out of the train. “Here I brought you snacks.” Starlight said awkwardly. “Ooh pretzels, I’m so jealous.” Owen says happily. “Oh thank you we will not get hungry on the train.” Twilight awkwardly returned. “It was supposed to be tea cakes but-“ Starlight looked at Trixie a bit angrily though the show mare did not seem to notice. “It’s a long story, have a good time.” Starlight said. “You too.” Twilight said happily before going inside the train as it went off. Starlight, Trixie, Spike, Owen, Noah, and Cody were all back in the castle. “Okay Trixie what spell did you wanna work on next?” Starlight asked kindly. “Well, every self-respecting magician has a disappearing act, so maybe we could start with that.” Trixie answered happily. “Hmmm. Nothing just disappears, so that's technically a teleportation spell, and those are pretty hard. Maybe we should start with something smaller.” Starlight said with some reluctance. “No no no, the Great and Powerful Trixie goes big or not at all, just tell me how you do it.” Trixie says boastfully. “I don’t think we should do that.” Noah warns angrily. “Says who?” Trixie asks angrily. “Says me, I am in charge and I say we don’t do the teleportation act.” Noah argues annoyed with Trixie. “Well I am the Great and Powerful Trixie and I say we should do the disappearing act.” Trixie said angrily. “Besides I answer to no one.” Starlight’s horn began flaring as the arguing was annoying her which Cody noticed and raised an eyebrow at. “Owen did you see th-“ Cody began to whisper before Owen began speaking. “ENOUGH!” Owen shouted. “Look Noah, can’t we just let Trixie do her little act, maybe if she promises to just teleport something small and non-living like an apple?” Owen said trying to break up the argument. “Fine, I guess that’s safe enough.” Noah rolls his eyes. “I mean it won’t be as impressive but alright.” Trixie rolls her eyes. Trixie then turns to Starlight “Teach away mini-Twilight.” Starlight groaned a bit at this. “Well I always found that magic is tied to my emotions whatever I’m feeling fuels whatever I’m doing and the stronger I feel it the stronger the magic.” Starlight said “Right like when you were so upset cutie marks took away your friend your magic was strong enough to create a village and remove other ponies’ cutie marks.” Trixie said turning away with a smile. A red cloud then started forming with her horn alerting Spike, Owen, Noah, and Cody but then the cloud disappeared. “Yep thanks for the reminder.” Starlight said with gritted teeth. “See I’m already learning now where is that apple?” Trixie asked leaving the room. “Starlight what was that red magicy cloud forming on your horn?!” Owen asked incredulously. “I don’t even know I’ve been trying to suppress it but it keeps coming out it’s made of my anger that’s all I do know but I need to contain it so it doesn’t do who knows what to Trixie.” Starlight said before teleporting a bottle over using it to contain the anger. “Or you could just tell Trixie the truth.” Spike suggested as if it was obvious. “But how do we know if letting it all out will help it’ll probably make things worse, and if she knew what I was thinking she’d probably never talk to me again.” Starlight said in shame. “Well if that’s what you feel you need to do then we’ll hide the truth from Trixie.” Cody said happily. “Thanks guys you’re all great friends.” Starlight said embracing the boys and dragon in a group hug. Unlike Trixie. Noah thought with bitterness. “Alright the Great and Powerful-“ Trixie began announcing before Noah cut her off before she further upset Starlight. “You have returned we get it just put the apple on the table and don’t screw up.” Noah commanded bitterly. “Fine jeez.” Trixie rolled her eyes as she levitated the apple on the table. “If you could learn the spell before the girls got back you could be setting some sort of record.” Starlight said happily. “Challenge accepted, alright concentrating on the magic doin’ the spell.” Trixie said before Starlight looked worried. “No Trix wait.” Starlight tried to stop Trixie but before she could Trixie used her teleportation spell hitting the Cutie Mark Map, which disappeared in an instant. Starlight then fell over fainting and Trixie then weakly said “Ta da.”
A Royal Problem Part 1Starlight's cutie mark, Gwen and Cameron's faces were circling around the cutie map showing they were summoned to Canterlot Castle. Twilight stood mouth agape not because of Gwen and Cameron but because of Starlight being summoned. "I know! I can't believe it either! The map has never called me before!" Starlight said happily. "I'm sure that's not why she looks... like that." Spike tried reassuring before Twilight shook her head snapping "Actually, it is. Well, it's that and the fact that you're being called to the royal palace! I mean, what in Equestria could be going on there?! You want me to come with you?! No. I shouldn't. The map just called you for a reason, right? Heh. Though maybe it's a mistake. Not because of you! Because it's never called just one of us before." Twilight begins babbling. "Um we were also called by the map but okay." Gwen speaks up. "Oh well you guys I understand the map can call humans too I mean look at Owen, Cody, and Noah but Starlight." Twilight said. "What's wrong with the map calling me?" Starlight asked hurt. "Well nothing but this is a big task it could be very important." Twilight explained. "Are you saying I can't handle it?" Starlight asked offended. "Well you don't exactly have the best track record." Cameron said shyly. "He's right, mind controlling Twilight's friends, making a village of cutie marks shall I go on?" Gwen asked with a frown. "Ugh you all think this?" Starlight asked incredulously. "I don't, I believe in you Starlight." Spike said with a bright smile on his face making Starlight blush. "Thanks Spike, glad SOMEONE isn't doubting me, c'mon guys let's go." Starlight said with her head held high leaving. "Guys maybe you're being a bit too harsh on Starlight, the map did call her so there's gotta be good reason for it." Spike told the others. "You're right Spike, but just in case keep an eye on Starlight." Twilight said. Spike facepalmed at this, this wasn't helping at all.
