"Come on, Tenebris, you barely fly as fast as Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash said
"I focus on magic more than flying." Tenebris responded
"And with all that magic you have, you can't use your armor to fly half way to sweet apple acres or as fast as I can?"
"You have no idea how much magic it takes to sustain flight... Even with my being an alicorn to help, the energy it takes is only enough to fly for a little bit, especially without my training in it."
"Well, you can make all the excuses you want, you can't avoid the fact that you can't fly as well as you should."
Tenebris let out a sigh
"Hey, there's the farm!" Rainbow Dash pointed out to the ground, and they both flew down to meet with the group.
"Well howdy there stranger! Welcome to Sweet apple Acres!" Was Apple Jack's greeting
"Glad to see you're okay!" Twilight said
"Yes, I merely ran out of magic for the moment."
"Is that even possible?" Twilight asked
"These wings take up a lot of energy"
"Speakin' of magic, one of our old friends passed by earlier... You're not gonna like this, one bit, Twilight..."
"What? What do you mean "Old friend"?"
"I mean, Trixie's back. And she's learned a great deal more magic... She didn't do anything to me because she said you were the one who humiliated her earlier, and she'll pay me my dues once she's finished..."
"T-Trixie?! You mean that unicorn that came through bragging about her magic and ended up bringing an ursa minor into the city?!"
"Don't know any other Trixie I could be talking about."
"Trixie?" Tenebris asked
"She was a unicorn who went from town to town bragging about her magical abilities until-"
"Until Twilight totally showed her up and ran her out of town!" Rainbow Dash interrupted
"Well... I assume she's holding a grudge?"
"I guess so... but don't believe half the things she says... maybe she'll claim to have beaten an Ursa major again..."
"I see why you had to show her up" Tenebris said
"If she wants me she'll probably be looking for me at the library. Applejack, you go get Rarity, if she really has gotten better at magic, I'm going to need to have all the help I can get in case she makes snips and snails bring something else into town."
Pinkie fainted.
"What the heck?" Tenebris said
"Probably a pinkie sense" Twilight responded
"a.... pinkie.... sense?" Tenebris couldn't comprehend
"Things happen to her that depict vague events in the near future... like something will fall to the ground if her tail twitches."
"That's.... certainly interesting" Tenebris said
Pinkie woke up
"Whoa! did you guys see that? I can't believe it! I fainted! That's never happened before! well it has, but not as a pinkie sense! I'm sure it was a pinkie sense! What could it mean? Guys something BIG is going to happen, like another doozy, but maybe even BIGGER this time! Can you tell?!"
"We can now... come on, lets get to the library" Twilight said
"Can I get somepony to put my wing armor back on?"
"Sure." Twilight said before they all set out for the library except AppleJack, who went to get Rarity

---------------------------------------------------------

"T-Trixie?!?!" Spike was surprised and scared to see her again
"Ah, yes, the magician's little familiar. I'm not interested in you! The great and powerful Trixie! has other things on her agenda. Now where's Twilight?!"
"T-Twilight?!"
"What, can you only stutter the names of various ponies now?! Tell me! Where IS SHE?!"
"Sh-she left with the others to sweet apple acres."
"hmm, out among the common folk. Alright, she's bound to return here eventually... what's this?" Trixie saw the book that Twilight brought home from Canterlot archives.
"umm, that's Twilight's..." Spike said
"SILINCE! The great and powerful Trixie! can read what she wants! Besides, this IS a library. If she didn't want anypony else to read it, she wouldn't have left it here!"
Spike fell silent. he felt it was best to keep from talking. And if he DID keep her from reading it, she may have gone out bragging again until snips and snails brought something new into ponyville... and knowing Trixie, it would be worse than an Ursa minor...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"A second set of elements... What is Twilight reading?!?! This book is full of lies! First imitars, a pony rebellion, and now this? How am I supposed to believe any of this?! Honestly, who ever has heard of a pony with 2 non-matching cutiemarks?!"Spike remembered Tenebris.
"Umm... Trixie...?"
"What?! What could be so important as to interrupt the great and powerful Trixie! While she is reading?!"
"I... I umm... I don't think you should read any more..."
"Nonsense! The great and powerful Trixie! will read whatever she pleases! Even if Twilight's little pet doesn't approve!...Now... Second set of elements... Elements of destruction? What could that mean?! Fury, Fear, War, Chaos, Resent, Deceit?... What is this? Objects said to have been destroyed, but then re-appeared from the creature that best represented the element... This is absolute bologna! How could anything like this ever exist?!"Just then a light appeared in the room... a blinding flash that overtook the library, and then everything went dark. The darkness slowly receded from the room until it was just one shadow in front of Trixie.
"What in Equestria?" was all Trixie could say.
The darkness manifested and clumped together to form a book... it had a black cover with a large Apache's Tear stone set in the center of it... Trixie set down the other book and picked up the new one.
"What could this be?"
"Ummm... Trixie?" Spike knew something wasn't right
"Silence! I thought I told you already! The-"
"Yeah, yeah, the great and powerful Trixie can not be interrupted by trifling matters that she doesn't care about, but I'm pretty sure this is important!"
"And I'm pretty sure it's not!" Trixie said as she opened the cover "Why it's a spellbook! I did learn some new magic, but now I know Twilight doesn't stand a chance!"
"I don't really think that's-" Spike began before being hushed by Trixie yet again
"SILENCE!" Trixie said "Now let me read!"
