CYOA: A Day in Ponyville

Applejack charges into the house and you stay behind at Apple Bloom's side. "Everything's going to be safe. She'll take care of it." You gently guide her away from the house. "For now, we should get somewhere safe."

She shakes her head, clinging to your neck. "No! I wanna see what's goin' on!"

You chuckle at her energy. "Sure you're not scared?"

"No!" Her little form trembles against yours. "Ah'm just..."

The sound of Applejack's screams interrupts everything. It's all you can do to keep Apple Bloom from rushing into the house, even as a white light emanates from it. You keep a firm grip on Apple Bloom as the light fades, and the sound with it.

A pony walks leisurely around from behind the building. "And now." She pauses, seeing you and Apple Bloom. "What? There should only be a filly here right now. Trixie planned this perfectly!"

Apple Bloom launches to the ground. "Trixie! What did you do to mah sister?!"

She huffs with annoyance. "I'll figure that out later." She leers at you, frowning. "You're not supposed to be here!"

You raise your brow at her. "I'm not leaving without two safe Apples."

"Oh, why didn't you say so." Trixie's horn glows as she smirks. "You can have those." A shower of apples rains on your head.

"Argh!" You try to fend them off, but there's just too many of them.

"You fool! I am Trixie! The most powerful unicorn ever! The map was mine by rights and you had no business taking it from me!" She laughs evily, only to turn into a yelp of pain. "Did you just bite Trixie?!" She kicks Apple Bloom away. "Trixie was going to be nice, but no more!"

You glare at her, just your head poking free of the pile of apples. "Don't you dare touch her." With a surge of strength, you send apples flying in every direction. You see Apple Bloom go sliding along the ground away from you, but that means Trixie has to face you alone.

"Stupid ponies! You don't understand how great Trixie is!"

You:

A: Counter her with strength.

B: Get clever about this.
