CYOA: A Day in Ponyville

You take a great stomping step towards Trixie. "You've gone too far today!" You lower your head and charge right at her. Her eyes widen and she scrambles out of the way. She doesn't seem to know how to deal with your direct attack. You slide to a halt beside Apple Bloom. "What do you want?"

Trixie raises a hoof, irritated. "To teach this little pony a lesson! How dare you steal from Trixie?!" She shook her hoof at Apple Bloom, leering at her. "You mud ponies may have brute strength, but Trixie has magic!" Her horn glows brightly, bathing the nearby area in bright blue light. "It is time for Trixie to punish you."

Apple Bloom presses up against you. "Don't let her hurt me."

"Don't plan on it." You dart forward, ducking under a bolt of angry magic. The rocks sizzle and melt where they were struck. "I won't let that happen."

"No more talk! This is your last chance!" Trixie looms high above you with the smuggest grin. "As if you stood even a little chance." She seems to think this was all some kind of silly joke. "Prepare to be smote!" Her horn glows and several large glowing balls surround her head.

You:

A: Take the assault dead on.

B: Use Trixie as a shield.
