Dear diary,

Today was a quick start to the day, I woke up with Spike passing a letter over from Princess Celestia saying that she want's me to study a new spell. Me and Spike got onto it straight away. As Spike as my test subject, I lit my horn up with magic and continued with the spell. I had finished the spell and stopped straining, and to my surprise, Spike had a brand new set of hair above his lips. I was surprised I got it first time. In a flash, Spike ran over to the mirror and started looking at him self. [s[He accidentally said out loud "Hello Rarity!" He isn't keeping his secret crush very secret. But every time he fails to keep it one, I get the urge to tell everypony.

A few hours later, me and Spike went walking around town about magic, when suddenly, Snips and Snails come running through town with huge amounts of excitement about a new unicorn in town who was apparently better than me, but I doubted it. I could grow hair in ponies heads, faces, tails and... Other parts. But what could she do? Anyway, me and Spike went along with Snips and Snails to find out who this unicorn was.

When we got their, I found out that all of my friends had made it. A voice came from behind the curtain that was on the stage that was also on wheels, obviously a travelling coach. The curtain lifted and showed a blue pony with a starry hat and a cape. I guess her name was Trixie, since that's all that was coming out of her mouth. The great and powerful Trixie... Apparently. She got onto her magic tricks and spawned a bunch of flowers. All of my friends were talking about that just because someone had magic, doesn't mean they were better than everyone else, no matter how much hair they could grow.

Unfortunately, Trixie over heard us and said that no magic was more powerful than hers. I was going to tease her and challenge her to do Princess Celestia's job and move the sun, but I decided not to because it would cause more trouble. But Spike spoke out, which you could already tell something was going to go wrong, mainly because it was him who opened his mouth. He said that she should challenge me and see how powerful she is then. I took him out of the wave of ponies watching to tell him not to point me out like he did.

Back on stage I saw Rainbow Dash asking how she was so powerful, which was on everypony's mind. Apparently, she could defeat an Ursa Major. I had only read about them but had never seen one. It was either true or she was just showing off again. She yet again, said that it's the reason that she is the best unicorn in Ponyville. I wasn't surprised when nopony cheered when she said it. She then challenged the entire town that, what ever we could do, she could do better. Nopony went up. She then went around the ponies watching, picking some challenges, and unfortunately, she choose me. I backed out, which I thought was cowardly of me.

Applejack butted in because she had enough, she challenged Trixie. She pulled out a rope and started doing those rope tricks, I don't know what they're called. But she was really good. I think it's called a lasso. Ponies cheered for Applejack because she had talent. Trixie picked up a rope and hypnotised Applejack. She got an apple and lassoed Applejack with the rope and gagged Applejack with the apple. I thought it was a bit far. I also thought that something... arousing was going to happen, but no. Sadly, Applejack had been defeated by Trixie.

Next up was Rainbow Dash, who done her flying tricks. At the end she done a little showing off, but not as much as Trixie. Trixie got a rainbow and turned it into a tornado and span her out of control. So, Trixie won again.

Rarity was up next. She made a dress with her beautiful talents and materials. Trixie came back with turning Rarity's mane green. It was simple, but still made Rarity freak out easily.

I was up next, my friends begged me to go on stage and show her who was really the best unicorn in Ponyville, but I chickened out again. I ran back home and Trixie's so called show was over. I decided to go back home with Spike and forget about the whole thing. A few hours later, me and Spike had the same conversation about how I didn't want to go up to Trixie and teach her who's boss, because I would lose my friends for being a show off.

A few hours later, I have Spike running trough my door, saying that there is an Ursa Major running through town. I decided to take a look. At first, I thought that Spike was lying to get me out of the house, but no, there was in fact an Ursa Minor. I asked Snips and Snails what was going on. They said they had brought an ersa minor into town. The stupidity of those two is unbearable sometimes. But they said it was ok because Trixie was going to stop it. I was more interested in Trixie than I was in the ersa minor. I was looking forward to see what she could do. Finally, Trixie told the truth and said that she couldn't do it. I wasn't surprised.

I soon figured that it was up to me to stop it. I started using the wind to create music to put the ersa minor to sleep. I used the water tanks to fill up with milk and give to the ersa minor to drink while sleeping. I then used my magic to move it back into the everfree forest. And that was it. I was surprised it was that easy.

It turns out that my friends didn't hate me and what I did wasn't showing off. It turns out that I saved the town and my friends are proud of me and Trixie is just a loud mouth. So everything went ok in the end. I saved the town. I deserve the key to the town. But no. I go back to my house and read daring do for the forty seventh time.
