Trixie were back in Ponyville again with her brother Pokey Pierce after the Crystal Empire had been saved. Pokey Pierce had been at the cute cenera where he got four round and shiny balloons on strings. Pokey Pierce took some balloons on strings home to Trixie. The unicorn mare and Pokey Pierce pushed to the balloons on strings in long time that evening. Trixie were afraid of balloons, but her horn under her hat tingled too by pushing her nose against the soft balloons who made bumping noises. The two playful unicorn ponies pricked to their round toys in nearly an hour, and their horns tickled. Pokey Pierce were petting the squeaky spheres while Trixie felt ecstatic by hearing the loud balloon noises, as she read her book.

"Griffons had only been legends in the Crystal Empire, until one day a griffin migration had been seen over that empire many years ago." Trixie read.

Suddenly had two loud balloon poppings scared Trixie. Two poor balloons laid lifeless in the ground by being pricked hole in by Pokey Pierce's overheat horn spell. Rubber pieces laid all around.

"Hey, will you stop those loud pop noises." Trixie nervously told her brother.

Then had Pokey Pierce kept on caressing the remains of the two rubber spheres to arouse Trixie, who  kept on reading about the Crystal Empire.
