You rush for the great sparkly mass that is Trixie, racing to slide underneath her before she finishes unleashing her magic. You graze the tip of her hoof, but don't take the time to aim properly. In a moment, you're under her and shoving upwards with all your might. It's not enough to get her off balance, but it does mess with her aim.

The bolts fly wildly, most striking the ground around you, but several smash into the unicorn on top of you, each with a pained yelp. "Ow!"

Apple Bloom giggles from where she sits. "You did it!"

"Not yet." You strike upwards with all your strength, catching the dazed Trixie right under the chin. She lets out a strangled sound and stumbles back, crashing down onto her haunches.

She spits, then shakes her head. "Argh! You've done it now." She raises her hoof. "How dare you treat a magician so poorly! I am the great and powerful Trixie!"

You lash out with your hind legs, catching her squarely in the stomach. "Enough from you!"

Trixie leans forward with a strangled noise, but you didn't expect her to have anything more in her. With a snap of her magic, she tosses up a shower of apples around you. They don't even land on you in a pile, just scattered around as she passes out. You nod at the fallen magician. "Sorry you had to see that. We shouldn't resort to violence like that."

Apple Bloom applauds your act. "That was jus' amazin'!"

"You think so?" You sit down, wincing. "Ouch, think I sprained something."

Apple Bloom looks uncertain, but her attention drifts back to the house. "Hope sis is okay."

You:

A: Head inside after her.

B: Owie! I heard you were a potion maker?
