Disclaimer: I don't own My Little Pony

Celestia's sun rose above another day in Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle awoke and yawned as she slowly dragged herself out of bed. She headed downstairs and found Spike had made breakfast. The two ate in awkward silence after the events of the day before. Spike gulped and was about to speak when he burped out a letter from Princess Celestia.

"What does it say?" asked Twilight blandly.

Spike quickly gazed over the letter.

"The Princess is bringing the delegates from Saddle Arabia to Ponyville and wants you to entertain them." answered Spike.

"Oh great. The bitch wants me to do her dirty work again." thought Twilight.

"What are you going to do?" asked Spike.

Twilight rubbed her chin with her hoof.

"I perform some ticks with Fluttershy's animals. That should keep them entertained." answered Twilight.

Twilight rolled her eyes which Spike didn't notice.

"This is going to screw with my examination of my mental health." thought Twilight.

Twilight got up and walked to the door to her lab.

"I'm going to study for a bit before I talk to Fluttershy." stated the unicorn.

"Okay. I'll come with you when you go." said Spike.

"He's going to blabber to the Princess." said the disembodied voice.

Twilight quickly went down to her lab where she was alone.

"He took part in that intervention yesterday. You can't trust him either." said the voice.

"What will happen if the Princess discovers what's going on?" asked Twilight.

"She'll probably banish you." answered the voice.

"She would never do that!" declared Twilight.

"Celestia banished her own sister to the moon for a century." noted the voice.

"Luna was overcome by jealousy and rebelled against the Princess." stated Twilight unsure.

"You must keep an eye on that dragon." said the voice.

"I will." agreed Twilight.

Twilight stayed in the lab until Spike forced her to go. Twilight and Spike went to Fluttrrshy's cottage and explained to her the situation at hand. Twilight practiced with Fluttershy's animals while the nervous pegasus watched. Things seemed to be fine until Rainbow Dash crashed in Twilight. The ponies raced to town hall just in time for a spell to be cast on Rarity.

"You beast! This shade of brown should only be used as an accent!" cried Rarity.

Rarity fainted, but luckily Applejack was there to catch her.

"Come on Applejack. We need to get her in a nice soothing pink stat!" declared Pinkie.

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

"Well, well well. If it isn't...Twilight Sparkle." answered Trixie, revealing herself.

"Trixie." said Twilight, in a serious manner.

"What's she doing her?" asked Spike irked.

As soon as Spike was finished, Rainbow Dash flew overhead.

"You call that great and powerful?" asked Dash.

Trixie only smirked and used her magic to increase the size of Rainbow's right wing. Dash lost her balance and as unable to fly any further.

"Wow. She's Rainbow Wobble now." laughed Snips.

"Yeah." agreed Snails.

The two laughed as they failed to notice Rainbow heading their way. The only ponies cleared out as Snips and Snails could only duck. Luckily for them, Rainbow managed to avoid crashing.

"Great spell, oh Great and Powerful Trixie!" called Snails.

Trixie now turned her attention to the two unicorns, but her mood was far from joyous.

"You two!" snapped Trixie.

Trixie cast and spell and fused the horns of the two bumbling unicorns together.

"What happened?!" asked Snips.

"Get off me!" cried Snails.

The two ran about trying to separate as the townsponies watched on.

"Stop picking on my friends Trixie." demanded Twilight.

"You and I have some unfinished business. My magic's gotten better since I was here last." stated Trixie.

The blue unicorn began marching right over to Twilight.

"I'm going to prove it. A magic duel - winner stays, loser leaves Ponyville forever." proposed Trixie.

Twilight did not even entertain the thought for a moment.

"Forget it. I'd never make a deal like that." said Twilight.

Twilight turned around so she was no longer facing Trixie, but some part of her wanted to crush Trixie where she stood.

"Your choice." said Trixie.

Trixie used her magic to turn Spike into a ball then bounce him up and down in front of Twilight.

"You're not going to let her continue doing this, are you?" asked the voice.

"Trixie, put him down." demanded Twilight.

Trixie used her magic to create a basket and dunked Spike through it.

"Why are you doing this?" asked Twilight.

"Why? Because you humiliated me." answered Trixie.

Trixie activated her magic to create a projection.

"After you showed me up that Ursa Minor..." began Trixie.

The projection showed an Ursa Minor before cutting to Trixie's wagon vandalized while Carrot Top and Berry Punch laughed at her.

"I became a laughing stock..." continued Trixie.

Both Carrot Top and Berry Punch adverted the eyes and slowly backed away.

"Everywhere I went I was laughed at and ostracized..."continued Trixie.

The projection showed ponies laughing as Trixie ran away. This caused several more ponies to wish suddenly regret their actions.

"I had to take a job on a rock farm just to make a living..." continued Trixie.

The projection now showed Trixie working on the Pie family rock farm.

"A rock farm!" exclaimed Trixie as she finished.

"Hey! You're lucky a rock farm would takes the likes of you!" cried Pinkie.

Trixie used her magic to remove Pinkie's mouth and dump it into a garbage bin.

"She's just wasting her life on revenge. How pathetic." thought Twilight.

"Now I want revenge. And I'll keep casting spells until you agree." said Trixie.

Trixie used her magic again, this time turning Golden Oak Library upside down and began shaking it.

"Well. What do you say?" asked Trixie.

"You can't let her show you up." said the voice.

"Fine." answered Twilight.

Trixie undid all of the spells she'd previously cast...except for removing Pinkie's mouth.

"If I lose, I won't set hoof in Ponyville again. But if you lose, you're the one banished from this one horse town." said Trixie.

"You're stronger than her. There is nothing to fear. I would never lie to you." said the voice.

A moment of tension followed as the two ponies stared each other down.

"Draw!" declared Trixie.

Trixie used her magic to fling over a cart of apples sending it flying toward a group of ponies. The ponies fled, but Shoeshine tripped and was directly in the path of the cart. Luckily, Twilight grabbed the cart and apples with her magic which she gently placed on the ground.

"Phew." sighed Twilight.

Twilight turned to see Trixie had created several pies with her magic. Thinking quickly, Twilight summoned a parasprite which ate the pies. It then hacked out another parasprite and Twilight vanquished them not wanting a repeat of the previous swarm.

"Good thinking." said the voice.

The sun suddenly became blotted out above Twilight's head. Trixie dumped snow all over Twilight. Twilight used her magic to melt the snow.

"She's beating you!" cried the voice.

Twilight fired another spell at Trixie. It was supposed to be give Trixie a mustache and make her look silly, but instead it hit Trixie and sent her crashing into the ground.

"Wow." said Rainbow amazed.

"What the-" began Trixie.

Before Trixie could finish, Twilight used her magic to levitate Trixie ten feet off the ground.

"Let me go!" cried Trixie.

"She asked for it." said the voice, enjoying this.

Twilight ended her spell sending Trixie falling to the ground. Trixie quickly used her magic to land safely on all four.

"It's going to take-" began Trixie.

Before she could finish, a powerful beam of magic sent Trixie crashing through a window into town hall.

"Sugarcube, I think you're taking this too far." said Applejack.

Ignoring her friend, Twilight picked Trixie up with her magic and sent her crashing into the cart of apples. Twilight then teleported right in front of the injured unicorn. The Alicorn Amulet fell off her neck upon impact.

"And you will know my name is Celestia when I lay my vengeance upon thee!" cried Twilight.

Twilight stomped over to Trixie. The blue unicorn noticed Twilight's eyes where not their regular purple, but yellow. Trixie quickly went to grab the Alicorn Amulet, but Twilight crushed it under her hoof.

"Now, time to make sure you never bother Ponyville - or anywhere else - again." said Twilight.

"Please, don't hurt me! I don't want to die!" cried Trixie.

"Sugarcube, please stop. You've gone too far." said Appleack.

"Yeah, Trixie didn't even refer to herself in the first person." added Rainbow.

Twilight turned around and faced the others.

"After all the crap she did last time and the crap she did this time - you want me to let her go?!" exclaimed Twilight.

"You're scaring me." said Fluttershy, cowering.

Pinkie Pie mumbled something in agreement.

"Rainbow, you're last one I though would go soft." spat Twilight.

Trixie tried to crawl off, but Twilight quickly stopped her.

"I am going to down what I should have done before." said Twilight.

"Finish her." said the voice.

Twilight's horn began to glow and she aimed it at the cowering Trixie. However, Applejack tackled Twilight causing the magic to shoot off and blast the branch of a nearby tree.

"What in the hay has gotten into you?" asked Applejack.

Trixie quickly got up and ran off toward the Everfree Forest. She made sure to grab the Alicorn Amulet before she left.

"Taking care of my loose ends." answered Twilight.

Twilight turned and saw Trixie was gone.

"You let her escape!" snapped Twilight.

"See, they're hindering your objectives." said the voice.

Twilight used her magic to teleport back to Golden Oak Library.

"Wait!" called Rainbow.

"Should we follow her?" asked Fluttershy.

"I think we need to check on Trixie. I know she ain't been nice to us, but she might be hurt." answered Applejack.

The others all agreed if not somewhat reluctantly. Spike ran back to Golden Oak to check on Twilight. The other Mane 5 headed off to the Everfree Forest looking for Trixie. They were careful to avoid Poison Joke as they watched remembering what happened last time. As they got further, they came across a familiar face.

"Zecora, we need you help." said Applejack.

"If a blue unicorn you are looking for, she is resting on my floor." replied Zecora.

"Is she okay?" asked Fluttershy.

"I will take you to her. However, I must warn you she seems bitter." answered Zecora.

The ponies followed Zecora back to her home. Upon arriving, they found Trixie curled up on the floor.

"You're back, I have no intention of staying too long so-" began Trixie.

Trixie noticed the other ponies accompany Zecora.

"What do you want?" asked Trixie.

"We wanted to see if you're okay." answered Applejack.

"What's it to you?" asked Trixie.

"It's because we're not heartless monsters." answered Rainbow.

"Trixie doesn't need your sympathy." huffed Trixie.

"It's not sympathy silly." laughed Pinkie, having somehow gotten her mouth back.

"Exactly darling. Despite our...um...differences...we don't want you to be injured." added Rarity.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie does not need sympathy."huffed the unicorn.

"Why are you being such a pain?" asked Rainbow.

"Twilight Sparkle has again humiliated Trixie." answered Trixie.

Zecora walked over to Trixie holding a bowl in her hoof.

"Just drink of this brew. It should solve what is bothering you." said Zecora.

Trixie drank of the brew which made her feel a lot better and got up. Taking a moment to relax, the ponies noticed the amulet on the floor.

"Trixie, what ya got there?" asked Applejack.

"That is none of your business." answered Trixie.

Zecora looked at the amulet and examined it.

"Do not be upset, but you are better off without the Alicorn Amulet." said Zecora.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie paid handsomely for the Alicorn Amulet. Then Twilight Snarkle and her dorky bangs ruined it." stated Trixie.

Zecora pulled out a book and opened it.

"The answer is in this book. Please, come and have a look." explained Zecora.

The ponies gathered and read the paragraph Zecora pointed to.

"If it corrupts the user, that would explain Trixie's crappy personality." mused Rainbow.

"Hey! The Great and Powerful Trixie has an exquisite personality!" cried Trixie, "Beside, Trixie only bought it recently."

"Do any of ya think Twilight might have used something like this?" asked Applejack.

"I highly doubt it. Twilight is far too intelligent to use such a tacky item." answered Rarity.

"But, she has been acting very strange lately." noted Fluttershy.

"Since Princess Celestia is coming here with the delegates from Saddle Arabia - I think we should tel her about this." proposed Pinkie.

"Do what you please. The Great and Powerful Trixie is leaving." stated Trixie.

With that, Trixie huffed and left. As she did, the sun could be seen setting over the horizon.

"Thanks for takin' care of Trixie. We gotta get goin'." said Applejack.

"Be careful, dangerous creatures arise when the sun gives way to moon. And tell Twilight I hope she gets well soon." replied Zecora.

The ponies left and returned to Ponyville. As they returned, they saw a crowd gathered in the center of town. Upon arriving, they found Mayor Mare greeting Princess Celestia and delegates from Saddle Arabia. They headed to Sugarcube Corner where the Cakes had goods prepared. As the Saddle Arabia delegates ate, the Mane 5 pulled Princess Celestia aside and explained what occurred earlier.

"This is most worrying." mused Celestia concerned.

"Spike was going to check on her earlier." noted Fluttershy.

"I stopped by Golden Oak Library. Unfortunately, Spike was still outside banging on the door." said Celestia.

"Drats, it seems Twilight has locked herself away once more." sighed Rarity.

"He told me to talk you so I let him be. Had I know what occurred earlier, i would not have done so." said Celestia.

"What are we going to do?" asked Pinkie, shoving an entire cake down her throat.

"I will talk to her." answered Celestia.

"We will keep the delegates busy while you're gone." said Rainbow.

"Thank you. I hope I won't be long." replied Celestia.

Author's Notes:

A/N: So there is chapter five finished and so not to cause confusion...I really like Trixie. The reason for her treatment here was because it was needed for the plot. Also, Trixie will return later on. I put a good amount of references in this chapter - Pulp Fiction, Mortal Kombat and Turnabout Storm. Also, I'm pretty sure the reason we don't see Zecora more because her constant rhyming is a pain to write for. Next time, Celestia talks to twilight and the plot advances. Please review.
