"Come on, Twilight, you can do it!" Spike cheered.

"Okay, here goes." Twilight Sparkle closed her eyes and began using her magic. Spike's upper lip begins to glow and a sudden burst appears and grows a big bushy mustache on his upper lip.

"Ha ha! Ya did it!" Spike cheered in joy. He went over a checklist a checked the last part of the list.

"Growing magic, that's number twenty-five. Twenty-five different types of tricks and counting." Spike pointed out.

"A new record." Zach Lanson mentioned and Twilight blushes at the comment.

"And I think this is the best trick so far. Hello, Rarity. What's that? Aw, it's nothin', just my awesome mustache. [laughter]" Spike gloated at himself in the mirror.

"Yeah, hair on a scaly dragon is very attracting." Zach said in sarcasm.

"Sorry, Romeo. As attractive and enticing as you look, it's just for practice, and it's gotta go." Twilight said and summoned her magic and Spike's mustache began to glow.

"Wait!" Spike halted but it was too late as his mastache vanishes.

"Aw, rats." Spike said in dissapointment. Zach and Twilight giggled at the dissapointed dragon and decided to take a stroll around Ponyville.

-Main music plays-

"Twenty-five, Twilight. Twenty-five different kinds of tricks and counting." Spike mentioned again on the walk and Twilight gave out a confident smile.

"Yeah, even I haven't come that close. You're quite the talent, Twilight." Zach admitted and gave a sly smile.

"[chuckles] Stop it, Zach." Twilight playfully nudged his shoulder.

"I thought unicorns were only supposed to have a little magic that matches their special talents." Spike thought.

"If you trained hard enough on certain spells, then that makes the unicorn stronger." Zach explained.

"True, for ponies whose talents are for things like cooking or singing or math. But what if a unicorn's special talent is magic?" Twilight thought.

" Like you, Twilight, and you know a ton of magic." Spike complemented.

"Oh, you guys, stop. I'm sure there are lots of ponies right here in Ponyville that know just as much magic as me." Twilight mentioned.

"Are you kiddin'? I don't think there's another unicorn in all of Equestria with your kind of ability, Twilight." Spike said.

"Can't argue there, I don't their will ever somepony else like Twilight Sparkle." Zach agreed with a smile. Twilight gave back a nervous smile.

"Gangway! Comin' through!" a tall skinny chlild pony shouted running toward their direction with a smaller more thicker pony and crashed into Spike with him stuck on them thus surprising Zach and Twilight.

"Augh! Snips, Snails! What's goin' on?" Spike shouted as they ran and as they stopped he was flying into the air and crashes.

"Wha, haven't you heard? There's a new unicorn in town!" Snails said excitingly.

"Yeah! They say that she's got more magical powers than any other unicorn ever!" Snips said.

"Really?" Twilight said in surprised and dropped her head in shame.

"Aw, no way, that honor goes to Twilight here." Spike said.

"Yeah, and don't you forget it." Zach agreed and Twilight blushed again.

"Where is this unicorn?" Twilight asked.

"Ho, she's in the town square. Come on!" Snails answered and started running off.

"Yeah! [laughter] Come on! Whooo!" Snips said and ran to catch up with his friend. The two ponies and dragon nodded in unison and agreed to see who this mystry unicorn is. They then meet up at town square where a carriage is awaiting at the front of town hall.

"Hey guys." Zach said as he and Twilight and Spike came to their other friends in front of the carriage just the moment a female voice appeared.

"Come one, come all! Come and witness the amazing magic of the Great and Powerful Trixie!" the voice announced and the carriage folded into a stage and a puff of smoke appeared revealing a medium blue pony with a light blue mane and tail wearing a magicians outfit. The audience looked in awe.

"Watch in awe as the Great and Powerful Trixie performs the most spectacular feats of magic ever witnessed by pony eyes!" the pony said with an upbeat in her voice as fireworks set off behind her.

"My, my, my! What boasting!" Rarity looked at the smug pony with a dissapointed look.

"Oh, come on, she's a magician, they always do this to attract customers." Zach assured.

"I am more talented than any unicorn that has and will ever live!" Trixie announced.

"Um, well, she's probably just trying to get more attention."

"I'm mightier and braver than a manticore!"

"Uh... Talent show practice?"

"In fact, and with all do respect, the Great and Powerful Trixie could be more powerful than the almighty, Princess Celestia!"

"...Okay, she's bad." Zach a finally admitted.

"Come on, no pony's as magical as Twi-Twi-Twi- Oh! [clears throat] Hey, Rarity, I, uh,- Mustache!" Spike said with a blush after realizing he was next to his secret love struck and ran off. Rarity looked at Zach for an explanation.

"Don't ask." Zach said.

"There's nothing wrong with being talented, is there?" Twilight asked worriedly.

"Nothin' at all, 'cept in when someone goes around showin' it off like a school filly with fancy new ribbons." Applejack said irritatedly as she watches Trixie show off her magical tricks.

"Just because one has the ability to perform lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us." Rarity said agreeing along with Applejack as well as Zach as he nods. Twilight however made a shameful look.

"Especially when ya' got me around being better than the rest of us. [laughter]" Rainbow Dash said smugly. She then notices Zach and Applejack gave her a very intimidating glare.

"Eh, I mean, yeah, uh, magic schmagic. Boo!" Dash jeered at Trixie trying to get off the hook.

"Too late." Zach said as he and Applejack continued to glare at her angrily.

"Well, well, well, it seems we have some neighsayers in the audience. Who is so ignorant as to challenge the magical ability of Great and Powerful Trixie? Do they not know that they're in the presence of the most magical unicorn in all of Equestria?" Trixie said in a very smug tone.

"[raspberry] Just who does she think she is?" Rarity said in disbelief.

"Yeah! Since we all know that Twilight here is-" Spike pointe to Twilight but was cut off by her.

"Spike! Shhh!" Twilight said to him quickly and brought him in the back of the crowd with Zach following.

"What? What's wrong?" Spike asked curiously.

"You see the way they reacted to Trixie? I don't want anyone thinking that I'm a show-off." Twilght said in a sure tone.

"You want to know a show-off, that's a show-off." Zach pointed at Trixie as the fireworks behind her began going off again. Dash then had guts to fly up to her and ask her a very good question.

"So 'Great and Powerful Trixie' what makes you think you're so awesome, anyway?" Dash asked her flatly.

"Heh, why, only the Great and Powerful Trixie had magic strong enough to vanquish, the dreaded, Ursa Major!" Trixie explained in a booming voice.

"Wait, what?" Zach shook his head in denial as sets of fireworks shoot in in the sky to reveal a blue lined like bear with a star on its head in the sky as the crowd awed in excitement.

"What?" Snips said disbelief.

"No way." Snails joined in.

"When all hope was lost, the ponies in Hoofington had no one to turn to, but the Great and Powerful Trixie stepped in, and with her awesome magic, vanquished the Ursa Major and sent it back to its cave deep within the Everfree Forest." Trixie explained her story as the light show above follows up with her tale.

"Saw, sweet." Snips and Snails admired.

"That settles it." Snips said in a conclusion tone.

"Trixie truly is the most talented, the most magical, the most awesome unicorn in Ponyville." Snails said in agreement.

"No, in all of Equestria." Snips corrected.

"How do you know? You didn't see it! And besides, Twi- Mmph! Mmmph!" Spike was about to speak up for Twilight but she cast a spell on his mouth and turned it into a zipper.

"[laughter] it's true, my enthusiastic little admirers. Trixie is most certainly the best in Ponyville." Trixie gloated. However the rest of the crowd doesn't buy her tale as crickets chirp in the background and Zach looked in both directions to see if anyone else agrees bit fortunately no one else does.

"Uh, yeah, who else here believes you?" Zach asked flat out to prove his point.

"Don't believe the Great and Powerful Trixie? [chuckles] Well then, I hereby challenge you Ponyvillians-anything you can do, I can do better. Any takers? Anyone? Or is Trixie destined to be the greatest equine who has ever lived?" Teixie said in a victorious tone as the fireworks set off yet again.

"Enough with the fireworks already, we get it!" Zach shouted in annoyance and rolled his eyes on the last part. Spike also had enough of Teixie and unzipped his mouth and collapse on the ground in front of Twilight in a begging manner.

"Please! She's unbearable! Ya got to show her! Ya just gotta! [cries]" Spike cried in desperation.

"Yeah Twilight, go and show her what you can do. You know you're stronger than her, WE know you are. Put her on her place you have to." Zach agreed.

"There's no way I'm going to use my magic now, Zach and Spike. Especially since-" Twilight denied just the moment Trixie does something drastic.

"Hmmm, how about... You!" Trixie pointed directly at Twilight. She gulped on the boasters challenge knowing where this can lead.

"Well, how about it? Hm? Is there anything you can do that the Great and Powerful Trixie can't?" Trixie stared at Twilight with fierce in her eyes.

"I-I-" Twilight hesitated on trying to find an excuse to get out of this situation. Zach stared at her with worry trying to find a way to help her.

"Well, little hayseed?" Trixie said in a insulting tone. After that comment Zach had raged look on his face and was about to speak up to her and summon his unicorn horn but was interrupt by Applejack next to him.

"That's it! I can't stand for no more of this!" Applejack said infuriated.

"You show her, AJ!" Spike supported as Applejack came up on the stage.

"Can your magical powers do this?" Applejack asked as she does a lasso spin with a rope wrapped around her tail and does tricks with it like going through the loop.

"Go cowgirl!" Zach said among the crowd admirers. She then sends her lasso in the air and grabs ahold an apple on a tree and tanks it out and catches it in her mouth and swallows it with a satisfied smile. The crowd cheers to her performance.

"Top that, missy." Applejack challenged.

"Oh ye of little talent. Watch and be amazed at the magic of Trixie." Trixie said with a smug look and her magician hat floats off to reveal her horn which has a pink glow surrounding it. The rope Applejack used has the same glow as Trixies and moves around like a snake in front of Applekack which she follows in a mesmerized look.

"Uh, AJ?" Zach said to her to see if she's okay. Then he notices the other end of the rope approaches her hooves and looked like it was ready to strike.

"AJ, look out!" Zach warned but it was too late.

"Whoa! Uh!" Applejack was then caught by surprised as the rope ties her up and sticks an apple in her mouth in a cooked boar fashion. The crowd cheers and laughs at Trixies harsh performance. Zach quickly came up to help the poor pony up and off the stage as he supports her with her bouncing. He made an angry glare at Trixie as she celebrates her little victory.

"Once again, the Great and Powerful Teixie prevails." Trixie gloats. As soon as Zach helped Applejack off the stage he used his horn to cut off the ropes which is sharper than most horns and used his magic to remove the apple from her mouth and gave out a gasp.

"Thanks." Applejack gave Zach a kind smile to him which he returned.

"There's no need to go struttin' around and showin' off like that." Rainbow Dash flew up Trixie in an irritated tone.

"Oh?" Trixie said as she was intrigued by Dash's words.

"That's my job." Dash assures and flys into the air to do some aerobatic stunts. She come to a windmill and spins the fins of it to give her some momentum and flys back into the air. She then hits rows of clouds and produced holes through them and stops in theidfle of the sun for affect. Finally she flys back down through the holes which makes rain drops fall with her and follows her. As she returns to the windmill she gives the fins another spin the opposite direction but with the drops following her. As she finishes she heads back to the stage with the water following her and halts on the same spot she left off earlier and lets the water pour on her. A small rainbow then produces on top of her with a triumphant smile on her face.

"They don't call me 'Rainbow' and 'Dash' for nothin'!" Dash said in a victorious tone and the crowd cheers. Trixie had an unimpressed look on her face and thought of another move to counterattack her performance.

"When Trixie is through, the only thing they'll ever call you is loser." Trixie said in a rude time and used her magic on the rainbow and controls it to spin it around Dash like a tornado. Dash screams as she spins and Zach was not amused by Trixies trick.

"That's enough Trixie!" Zach ordered.

"As you wish." Trixie abided and sets Dash on the ground with her spinning on the ground a little bit with an uncomfortable look on her face.

"I think I'm [gulp] gonna be sick." Dash assumed sickly.

"Seems like anypony with a dash of good sense would think twice before tussling with the Great Trixie." Trixie joked and used her magic to produce a small storm cloud behind Dash as Zach and Applejack help her up. Lighting then strucked Dash's back and yelped in surprise and pain. The crowd again laughed along with Trixies harsh tricks.

"Why of all the no good fakers I've met, she's the worst." Zach said in frustration.

"Then you should show her what you got Zach. You got a couple tricks that she can't do." Applejack looked at Zach with a confident smile.

"Yeah, you can become a unicorn, a pegasus, and even both." Dash agreed with the same smile.

"I don't know. These are more like abilities than magic. Besides, I don't really know that much magic yet." Zach assured.

"Then what we need is another unicorn to challenge her. Someone with magic of her own." Spike nudged Twilight and the others turn their attention to her.

"Yeah! A unicorn to show this unicorn who's boss." Dash agrees.

"A real unicorn to unicorn tussle." Applejack also agreed.

"Uh..." Twilight hesitated unsure on what to do.

"Enough. Enough, all of you. I take your hint, but Rarity is above such nonsense. Rainbow Dash and Applejack may behave like ruffians, but Rarity conducts herself with beauty and grace." Rarity said in a reasonable voice.

"Ooo, what's the matter? Afraid you'll get a hair out of place I'm that rats nest you call a mane?" Trixie mocked and insulted Rarity's style.

"Oh, it is on!" Rarity said with anger and competition mixed in her voice and walks up to the stage.

"You may think you're tough with all of your so-called powers, but there's more to magic than your brutish ways. A unicorn needs to be more than just muscle. A unicorn needs to have style." Rarity examines as she pulls one of Trixies stage curtains and spins it around herself to make a pizazz effect and reveals herself in a more fashionable design. The crowd awed in desire to see the fashionista in a more beautiful appearance.

"A unicorn is not a unicorn without grace and beauty." Rarity assured. Trixie had another devious smile on her and uses her magic for another counter attack.

"Rarity won't let Trixie get the best of her! She's strong, she's beautiful, and she's-" Spikes admiration to Rarity was short lived as a flash of light came from where Rarity is at and Spike produced a disgusted look to what he sees next. The crowd also gasped at the sight they were seeing.

"QUICK! I NEED A MIRROR! GET ME A MIRROR! What did she do to my hair? I know she did something terrible to my hair!" Rarity squealed in fear.

"Nothing." Twilight quickly said.

"It's fine." Rainbow Dash assures.

"It's gorgeous." Applejack also assures.

"It's beautiful." Zach quickly joined in.

"It's green." Spike told the truth flat out and the rest gave him disapproving looks.

"What?" Spike asked in confusion. Rarity was then in tears to see her beautiful violet purple mane has transformed into a hideous grass green.

"No. Green hair! Not green hair! [cries] such an awful, awful color! [cries]" Rarity cried as she ran back to her boutique. On the way as she shouts how horrid the color was she passes by a pony in the back in the audience with green hair and she heard every word she said.

"Well, I never!" the pony said angrily and raised her head in the air in an offended manner as she walks away.

"Well Twilight, guess it's up to you. Come on, show her what you're made of." Spike said trying to persuade her to do it as Trixie blows on her hoof and wipes it on her cloak in a cleaning fashion.

"What do you mean? I'm nothing special." Twilight quickly assured as the crowd stares at her.

"Yes, you are! You're better than her!" Spike said to her again.

"I'm not better than anyone." Twilight said again in a nervous tone.

"Hah! You think you're better than the Great and Powerful Trixie? You think you have more magical talent? Well, come on, show Trixie what you've got. Show us all." Trixie said to her with a sign of threat in her eyes.

"Come on Twilight, don't be afraid, please." Zach uttered quietly begging her to take the challenge.

"Who, me? I'm just your run-of-the-mill citizen of Ponyville. No powerful magic here. I, uh... I think I hear my laundry calling. Sorry, gotta go." Twilight excused and zoomed out as quickly as she could.

"Twilight!" Zach tried to chase her but decided to let her go but also leaving him with a sad expression.

"Twilight?" Spile uttered worriedly.

"Ha! Once again, the Great and Powerful Trixie has proven herself to be the most amazing unicorn in all of Equestria. Huh, was there ever any doubt?" Trixie said smugly as she walks off the stage with the crowd leaving as well.

"We have our doubts, and we still abide to them." Zach said as he and spike folded their arms in anger and disappointment. Later Trixie was brushing her mane after a long performance of unpleasant magic tricks on other ponies.

"Here's your smoothie you asked for, with extra hay, just how you like it." Snips came over with a tray and a smoothie on it and presents it to Trixie in a royal manner.

"Mmm, hay." Snails said in a dreamy tone. Trixie takes the smoothie and drinks it to her hearts desire. She then notices the two stared at her with begging eyes.

"Yes?" she asked irritatedly."

"Ooo, tell us another story Great and Powerful Trixie." Snips begged and bowed before her.

"Yeah, tell us about how you vanquished the Ursa Major." Snails mentioned.

"Guh! Trixie is far to exhausted from performing feats beyond imagination. Begone with you until morning." Trixie dejected them rudely.

"Oh, of course, Great and Powerful Trixie."Snails said in an understanding tone as he and Snips back away still bowed.

"Anything you say. We are at your beck and call." Snips said as they leave leaving Trixie with an unamused scoff.

"What are you two doin'?" a familiar voice asked disappointedly behind them and turned to see Zach and Spike with dissaproving looks with their arms crossed.

"Just bringin' the G and PT a-" Snips was about to say.

"The what?" Zach and Spike asked in confusion and annoyance.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie." Snips explained in an obvious tone.

"Sheesh." Spike said as he rolled his eyes.

"Say that ten times fast." Zach said.

"Just bringin' her a smoothie." Snips finished.

"How can you fall for her lameness? She's just a show-off. Unlike Twilight who-" Spike is about to mention.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie vanquished an Ursa Major. Can your Twilight claim that?" Snips asked smugly.

"Oh really?" Spike asked irritatedly.

"Is that so?" Zach joined.

"Were you guys actually there?" Spike asked making his point.

"Well, eh, uh,... no, but-" Snips stuttered.

"But nothin'. The proof is in the pudding." Spike said.

"[chuckles] I like pudding." Snails randomly mentioned which makes Zach and Spikes eyebrows raised in annoyance.

"Now I see why they call him Snails." Zach whispered to Spike.

"Look, unless an Ursa Major comes waltzing up the street for Trixie to vanquish, we are not gonna believe a word she says, and neither should you!" Spike pointed at them.

"And if it is proven that she really didn't do it and you waste your still worshiping her, be our guest, but as far as we know, Trixie is a fraud." Zach added. This put a devious smile on Snips.

"Hm, an ursa walkin' up the street, hey? Snails! Are you thinkin' what I'm thinking'?" Snips asked.

"Why is it they call it a flea market when they really don't sell fleas?" Snails asked randomly again.

"Yeah, uh... Oh, come on!" Snips gestured irritatedly and walked off leaving Zach and Spike with disapproving looks. They then went back to the library to try and make Twilight understand.

"Twilight, would you put that book down and just listen to us." Spike begged as Twilight reads.

"Didn't you see how they hated Trixie's bragging, Zach and Spike? If I go out there and show off my magic, I run the risk of losing them as friends." Twilight made up a conclusion.

"it's not the same thing, Twilight. You'll be using your magic to stand up for your friends!" Spike explained.

"No, Spike, it's exactly the same." Twilight countered.

"How?" Zach simply asked.

"What?" Twilight asked.

"How is it the same? Explain. Tell us how it is the same."

"Uh, we-well, it's-um, you see-eh."

"Ah, you see? You can't even come up with a proper answer. If it really was the same, then there would be an explanation for it. Bottom line, not the same."

"Look, I'm just worn out from today. In my mind it's the same and that's final."

"Come on, Twilight, any one of these tricks, even teeniest, would be enough to show up Trixie." Spike tried to persuade her.

"I don't want to be seen as a bragger like Trixie." Twilight again denied and summoned a door in front of them and closes the door.

"But your the best!" Spike said as he opens the door.

"Uh. Please, Spike, I said no!" Twilight rejected again.

"[sigh] If that's the way you want to be, then fine." Spike said angrily and closes the door with Twilight having an unamused look on her face. They opened the door and headed out of the library frustratedly.

"Next time, use a wall. And when you do the opposite of standing up for your friends, you're just losing your friends even faster." Zach said to her angrily and left leaving Twilight looking at the ground in shame. Meanwhile I'm the Everfree Forest Snips and Snails walked around to find the Ursa Majors cave to get it to come to Ponyville so they can prove Trixie isn't lying. They eventually find it and entered it to find the beast. As they entered the cave turned pitch black so they can't see.

"Oh, how we gonna find an Ursa Major when I can't even see my own hoof in front of my face?" Snips complained.

"Hold on." Snails grunted as he tries to get his horn to light up. It took him a couple tries until finally gets his horn to glow a yellow light.

"Oh, heh. That's better." Snips said. As they were about to resume their search they hear growling behind them and turned around slowly only to find a beast about 65 feet bigger than them stand before them with an angry expression. It fits the description of Trixie's firework show as it's whole body is covered in a blue glow and on it's hind leg shows the constellation of the Big Dipper. The two ponies screamed in horror as the beast roared in rage and ran off. Zach and Spike walk around while Spike kicks a rock in sadness from unable to get Twilight to understand the difference between bragging and standing up for their friends. They then heard screaming and sees Snips and Snails sprint as fast as they could.

"Hey, guys, where ya goin'?" Spike asked confusingly.

"Can't talk now." Snips said as he runs.

"Got a major problem!" Snails yelled out.

"Yeah, Ursa Major, to be exact." Snips mentioned. The two then heard and felt a loud bang and turned around to see an Ursa Major right behind them and looked at it in disbelief.

"Oh crud." Zach uttered and Spike got on his back and ran off just before the Ursa could crush them on the spot they were on. The beast roared furiously as he follows them into the town.

"Tixie!" Snips and Snailed shouted.

"Twilight!" Zach and Spike shouted for their unicorn. Snips and Snails make it to Trixies carriage and pounded on her door calling her for her and telling her in mingle speeches about the Ursa Major. Trixie then comes out with a tired and irritated expression.

"Trixie thought she said the Great and Powerful Trixie did not want to be disturbed!" Tixie reminded in irritation.

"[nervous laughter] We- We have a-a tiny problem." Snips stuttered nervously.

"What is so important that you cannot wait until morning to disturb Trixie?" Trixie scolded in annoyance. Then she hears a roar and looks in the distance in fear and sees the creature she so said vanquished. She screams in horror and starts running away with Snips and Snails following just before the beast smashed the wagon into pieces and roaring in anger. Zach and Spike made it to the library to warn Twilight.

"Twilight, you've gotta come! Quick!" Spike panted urgently.

"I already told you, guys, I don't wanna show up Trixie!" Twilight reminded annoyingly as she reads a book.

"No, it's not that." Spike assured.

"We're kind of sick and tired of trying to convince you anyway. Actually it's-" Zach was about to explain until a roar was heard and startled the three.

"Uh, is that what I think it is?" Twilight asked shakingly.

"Majorly." Spike simply answered.

"And ironically." Zach added. At the streets of Ponyville the three frightened ponies cower in a corner from the angered creature.

"Great and Powerful Trixie, you've got to vanquish the Ursa." Snips urged.

"Yeah, vanquish so we can watch." Snips said. Trixie shakes in total fear in front of the creature as it's sharp teeth drool while staring at her.

"It took a lot of trouble to bring that thing here." Snips mentioned.

"Wait, you brought this here? [gasp] Are you out of your little pony minds?" Trixie gasped in disbelief.

"But, you're the Great and Powerful Trixie." Snips reminded.

"Yeah, remember? You defeated an Ursa Major." Snails also reminded. The beast then made a loud roar in front of her and made Trixie really nervous.

"Uh, okay. [gulp] Stand back." Trixie warned. She uses her magic to pull out a rope from one of her vases and started tying it around the Ursa.

"Heh. Piece of cake." Trixie said nervously. It turns out though she didn't tie it around the whole creature but around two of it's claws and and snaps it by spreading them without effort. The Ursa then produced an amused smile.

"Aw, come on, Trixie." Snips moaned.

"Stop goofin' around and vanquish it, eh?" Snails demanded. Trixie gasped and gulped in nervousness and uses her magic again. She summons the storm clouds and makes lightning. However it is still pretty small compared to the giant.

"Well, that was a dud." Snails said unimpressed.

"Yeah, pfft, come on! Where's all the cool explosions and smoke and stuff like earlier? You know." Snips questioned. A bolt of lightning struck the Ursa but didn't do much effect and just made it flinched. It opened its mouth with razor sharp teeth and prepared to roar again.

"Uh-oh." Trixie uttered and the beast roared at them. The three screamed and sprinted under it. The creatures outraged roars started waking up the whole town and went to see what's going on only to find the rampaging beast attacking their streets. The town started running away in fear as Zach, Twilight, and Spike rushed to find the Ursa. They then came across Snips and Snails.

"What's going on?" Twilight asked concernly.

"We brought an Ursa to town." Snips admitted.

"YOU WHAT!" Zach and Twilight shouted in shock.

"Don't worry, the Great and Powerful Trixie will vanquish it." Snails assured with confidence.

"I can't." Trixie confessed gloomily.

"What?" Snips and Snails said disbelief.

"Oh, I can't, I never have. No one can vanquish an Ursa Major. I just made the whole story up to make me look better." Trixie confessed her guilt.

"Made it up?" Snips and Snails said in total shock.

"Of course she made it up! If it was real, do you think you would have heard about it on the news? And thanks to you two, Ponyville is doomed!" Zach shouted at the two in anger. Then the creature appears behind them standing directly in front of the moonlight as it shines through it. Zach and Twilight turned around in fear. The beast roared again with the crowed gasping and shaking in fear including Zach and Twilights picked on friends. Spike nudged Twilight and featured to do something. Twilight knew what he exactly meant. She looked at Zach with worry on her eyes. Zach nodded and agreed to help out. Twilight gulped in fear not only because she's going to show off in front of her friends but if they fail then Ponyville will be destroyed. But she pulled herself together and put a determined face on and both ponies approached the Ursa. The beast too approached to confront it's challengers. Zach summoned his unicorn horn while Twilight used her magic to summon wind and blow on broken cattail plants which created a harmonious music melody which makes the Ursa heats. The Ursa made a dreamy smile and a guttural sigh and started to wobble out of balance.

"Nice use of number sixteen." Spike said. Zach and Twilight groaned as they struggle to use their magic as their horns glowed radiantly in a white and purple color. A water tower top was then pulled out and poured out the water. It was then carried into a barn where mooing sounds were being made. It came out of the other side filled with milk replacing the water.

"That's new." Spike noticed.

"My... Idea!" Zach mentioned as he struggles with Twilight to multitask with their magic. The top of the water barrel was screwed back on and the Ursa finally falls asleep and was about to fall on Trixie. She closes her eyes in fear expecting what's coming but notices no weight was put on her. She opens her eyes in disbelif to see the Ursa Major being lifted off the ground surrounded in a white and purple glow. The water tower top was then given to the sleeping beast and drinks from the top of it like a baby. The whole town stared in disbelief to see the creature being lifted high in the air by two simple ponies. Zach and Twilight continued to groan as their horns started to spark as they struggle to hold up the sleeping creatures massive weight. The Ursa Major was slowly being sent away while drinking its milk asleep from the town and headed back to the Everfree Forest in it's cave where it belongs. Zach and Twilight released their magic as their horns stopped glowing and sighed and panted in relief knowing it's over. Zach gave a proud tired smile at Twilight as his horns dissapears from his forehead. They then heard cheering from behind them and sees the whole crowd celebrate in their heroic act.

"Unbelivable!" Rainbow Dash cheered.

"That was amazing!" Spike also cheered.

"Heavens to Betsy! We knew you two had ability, but not that much!" Applejack admitted happily.

"I'm sorry. Please, please don't hate me." Twilight said in worry while Zach looked at her with confusion.

"Hate you?" Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity questioned in confusion.

"Why, whatever do you mean, darling?" Rarity asked kindly.

"Well, I know how much you all hated Trixies showing off with her with her magic tricks,and I just thought-" Twilight assumed.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Magic's got nothing to do with it. Trixies just a loud mouth." Dash

"Most unpleasant." Rarity added.

"All hat and no cattle." Applejack joined.

"So, you don't mind my magic tricks?" Twilight asked.

"Your magic is a part of who you are, sugarcube, and we like who you are. We're proud to have such a powerful, talented unicorn as our friend." Applejack said happily.

"And after whuppin' that Ursa's hind quarters, we're even prouder." Dash added.

"You are?" Twilight asked with a happy relief smile.

"Uh-huh." Dash nodded.

"Mm-hmm." Applejack and Rarity also nodded. Twilight felt the pressure whisk away knowing it's alright. She then notices Zach staring at her with a sly smile.

"Okay, okay, you and Spike were right, I was wrong. Happy?" Twilight playfully admitted.

"Very." Zach answered with a satisfied smile.

"Wow, guys, how'd you know what to do with that Ursa Major?" Spike asked.

"That's what I was doing when you came looking for me. I was so intrigued by Trixie's bragging that I was compelled to do a little reading up on them." Twilight explained.

"So that's what you've been reading all day." Zach understood.

"So it is possible to vanquish an Ursa Major all by yourself?" Spike asked.

"That wasn't an Ursa Major, it was a baby, an Ursa Minor." Twilight corrected.

"That was just a baby?" Trixie asked in shock.

"Yep, a little dipper." Zach supported the answer.

"And it wasn't rampaging, it was just cranky because someone woke it up." Twilight said as her and Zach's attention turned to Snips and Snails with dissapointed looks on their faces as well as the crowd turned their attention to them with the same expression. Snips and Snails lowered themselves with sheepish smiles on them.

"Well, if that was an Ursa Minor, then what's an Ursa Major like?" Spike asked with fear.

"Well..." Zach was about to explain that they are about 3 times the size of an Ursa Minor, have sharper fangs, and have a purple color. But he and Twilight decided they shouldn't spread more panic.

"You don't wanna know." Zach and Twilight assured.

"Huh. You may have vanquished an Ursa Minor, but you will never have the amazing, show-stopping ability of the Great and Powerful Trixie!" Trixie said still in her boasting attitude then made a smoke screen and galloped out of town.

"Why that little..." Dash said in anger and was about to fly and chase her down.

"Just let her go. Maybe someday she'll learn her lesson." Twilight said and Dash stopped where she was and watched Trixie galloped out of sight. Snips and Snails were about to sneak themselves out of trouble until Zach and Twilight got in their path.

"Now, about you two." Twilight said with a dissapointed expression as does Zach.

"Ah [nervous laughter]. Uh, we're sorry that we woke up the Ursa Minor." Snips apologizes sheepishly.

"We just wanted to see some awesome magic." Snails said with an upbeat tone.

"Yeah! And the way you vanquished that Ursa Minor was awesome!" Snips said also in excitement.

"And...?" Zach narrowed his eyes at them still keeping his expression with Twilight.

"We deserve whatever punishment you give us." Snails said in shame and he and Snips bowed.

"For starters, you can clean up this mess." Twilight pointed at Trixies totaled wagon.

"And... What do you think, Spike? Should I give them number twenty five?" Twilight asked Spike changing her expression into a devious smile.

"Oh, twenty five! Yes! And I think I deserve it, too." Spike said happily.

"Heah?" the two trouble makers questioned in confusion.

"I think you're right." Twilight agreed and Spike ran over next the two ponies as Twilight prepared her spell. The two ponies shaked in fear while Spike happily held out his face as their upper lips glowed. In seconds Spikes mustache returns with the ponies getting one as well.

"Sweet!" the three said in satisfied unison. The next morning the two students of Princess Celestia write down another lesson note to her.

"Dear Princess Celestia,I have learned a very valuable lesson about friendship: I was so afraid of being thought of as a showoff that I was hiding a part of who I am. My friends helped me realize that it's okay to be proud of your talents, and there are times when it's appropriate to show them off... Especially when you're standing up for your friends." Twilight wrote down her lesson.

"I've also learned in life their are sometimes others who will take their talents a little too seriously and use them for their own satisfaction and even use them to lie for attention. You shouldn't use your talent to power over others and call yourself better, because your asking for more trouble and you're not going to make great relationships that way. In short, don't boast and take things for granted.

Your faithful students,

Zachary Lanson and Twilight Sparkle." Zach finished his lesson along with Twilights.

"So, you finally admit that you two are the most talented unicorns in all of Ponyville?" Spike asked still wearing the mustache.

"Well, yeah, but it's nothing to brag about." Twilight admitted with a smile.

"And I'd rather stay in my earth form than my unicorn form. But yes as a unicorn, me and Twilight are the most talented." Zach pointed out also with a grin.

"So, uh, how did it go with Rarity?" Twilight asked curiously.

"Eh, she didn't go for the mustache." Spike answered dissapointedly.

"Ah, don't worry buddy, I'm sure you'll get her someday." Zach placed a supporting hoof on his back.

"You know, Spike, that mustache has nothing to do with who you really are. Maybe you should just try being yourself." Twilight advised.

"Or... Maybe the mustache wasn't enough. Maybe if I had a mustache and a beard?" Spike mentioned and Zach and Twilight lowered their heads in annoyance.

"Uh, not this again!" Twilight complained.

"Okay, imagine me with a nice, long, Fu Manchu type beard. Or maybe a goatee. Oh, no a soulpatch right on my chin!" Spike pointed out his facial ideas.

"I... don't think Rarity is going to buy that fashion, pal." Zach assured and went to study and practice more spells to get even better and maybe someday along with Twilight become the most magical unicorns that ever lived.
