Ehm, Twilight, is this for real? New assignments came this morning from Princess Celestia. The most important was a series of complicated spells. As her faithful slave, I was dragged by her to practice these difficult and important magic tricks.

-Spike, stand still. Physical appearance-affecting spells are dangerous if you aim wrong-said Twilight.

-Twi, my dear, my beautiful angelic pony, could you remind me why the princess would make you practice the moustache and orange spells? You’re her student. I thought it would make you practice more difficult and complex things-I said.

-Spike, you don’t have a horn. You don’t know what’s difficult or complex. Besides, I’m practicing my non-hair-spellcasting magic-Twilight replied.

Twilight made her horn shine and put a cute mustache on Spike’s face.

-Well, that was number 25- said.

-Cool, Twilight. You made hair appear on the face of a scaly creature. You should be proud. Don’t look at me like that. It was really awesome. Now, take it off, please, great and powerful Twilight-I said.

With a movement of his horn, Spike’s mustache disappeared, leaving him flaky again.

-Don’t call me that, Spike- said Twilight as we left the house.

-I just have more magic potential than other ponies because of my size. That’s why I could do those tricks, but not for that much-said Twilight.

-Hey, speaking of which, why do ponies have cutiemarks? - I asked.

-Well, Spike, you don’t know...- started answering Twilight.

-The numbers are the way we have...- continued.

-I stop her by putting my tail on her lips. -That I know, but why do they have it? Why are ponies the only species that has it? - I asked.

Twilight thought for a moment, but her response was stopped when two foals beat me and took me to a crowd of ponies. The people gathered. Wait, all the townspeople gathered for a cheap magic show, including that ugly green-haired pony who, I think, makes me want to puke. Besides, this town is full of idlers.

Also, there are social misfits, friends of Twilight. -Admire the great and powerful Trixie! -Oh, God, that annoying voice, the self-centered personality and the fact that he just humiliated Apple Bloom’s tomboy and mom (someone had to). I think this has made me fall in love. Oh, there’s no Twilight.

-Hey, Twi! Hehe, how about you use your magic on Trixie? - I said.

-No, Spike. You heard the girls (I didn’t). I don’t want them to think I’m self-centered-Twilight replied.

Twilight walked away with the rest of the town. I stayed to appreciate Trixie.

That cute pony is asking for more participants for her show and show her talent. Maybe I should step forward and show my two... Oh, that was an intrusive thought. Although I would win if I did, I’d be kicked out of town too. But it would be great.

Wait, Twilight is a magician too, and very good. If I convince her to show up, she would humiliate Trixie. That would allow me to comfort the wound Trixie and be with her. I’m a genius. Now, where is Twilight?

I got to the library to see Twilight practicing the old spells.

-Twi, I have an idea. How about you show up where Trixie and... and... humiliate her? I asked.

-Spike, you heard the girls- he replied.

-No, I didn’t- I said.

She just gave me that stoic look when I tell the truth.

-If I use my magic, the girls will think I’m a know-it-all fool -he said.

-Aren’t you? - I asked.

-What do you want, Spike? - He said.

-Twi, your friends don’t care if you’re a know-it-all or something. They just want someone to humiliate Trixie. They don’t care if you’re a nerd or if you’re good at using magic-I said.

-No, Spike. Stop bothering me- he screamed.

Agh, it’s like this situation is something that will always happen. What a pain.

Snips and her boyfriend ran past me towards the caravan of that beautiful unicorn.

-Trixie, tell us again how you defeated the Big Bear! - they said.

The couple of indecents were harassing Trixie, which was good for me.

-Ahm, Trixie is exhausted. Besides, I’ve told that story a lot of times, Trixie said.

This was my chance.

-Hey, Trixie! - I stopped her before she could lock up her trailer.

-I heard Twilight the Great has been talking down to your magic, I said.

Trixie turned to me, with a defiant look.

-And what about that? - he asked.

-Well, she says your stories are lies and that you never beat a big bear..

-Ja, I doubt very much she can beat me. If she had to send her footman, she’s too scared to come challenge me. Call me when she has the courage to challenge me-Trixie said, closing her caravan and leaving me with the degenerate couple.

-Did you hear what he said, Spike? Really, do you think the story of the bear was a lie? - Snips asked as he continued to talk with his spouse.

As I was thinking about what to do next, the conversation with Trixie made me think. If I bring a Big Bear into town, Trixie would be ridiculed. Also, Twilight would have to leave home to defeat the monster, and in the worst case, the town would be destroyed. I would win.

-Hey, you lovebirds? You want to find out if Trixie’s stories are true? - I asked.

After walking half an hour with the ambassadors of Sodom, we found a cave with a big bear... or what I think is one.

When Ponyville fell, I was there. When the bear swept it all away, I watched in wonder as that majestic animal tore apart the horse huts. Seeing Trixie crying in fear made me realize it wasn’t worth it. Fortunately, Twilight used the spells she practiced and put the beast to sleep. There were no injuries and now I must write a letter to the queen.

-Spike, I realized something when you left -- said Twilight. -- You said the girls were my friends, but they’re our friends. You know that, right?

-Twilight, don’t be silly- I said. -They’re your friends. I’m your assistant. Don’t confuse the terms- that look is new
