Magic Duel, part 5

[no_vampires_plz]

The day of the Saddle Arabian ambassadors' visit has come and gone. Now, in the early evening hours, Twilight's showing off her magical skills for the entertainment of their foreign visitors. As she makes Fluttershy's animal friends dance in the air, she's vaguely aware of the two ambassadors murmuring to each other in awe. Twilight doesn't speak a word of Saddle Arabian, but they sound like they're impressed.

Time for the big finale. She draws the animals back up into their final formation. The woodland creatures are silhouetted brilliantly against the fireworks exploding in the sky.

...wait a second. Fireworks? Fireworks aren't part of the routine. Where'd they come from?

...Really? Just like that...? Well... Trixie does feel an incredible weight come off of her shoulders. "Oh, good..." Trixie sighs out. She feels incredibly relieved right now. No... more than that! She apologized and was forgiven! Who else but the greatest showmare in all of Equestria could have a thing like that happen to them? She feels really good right now!

"Don't you think The Great and Apologetic Trixie is the most magnificent humble pony you've ever seen!?"

Whatever. Your loss for not realizing the truth. Meanwhile, Trixie has a career to get back to! She rears up and stomps her hooves, disappearing in a puff of smoke. Unfortunately, there still weren't any nearby corners to disappear around to make the illusion. Whatever, it's still an amazing exit!

2/2

...Or it would be if Trixie hadn't tripped and fallen on her face. Trixie hopes no one saw that. WHY DID SHE HAVE TO TRIP AND RUIN HER BIG EXIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Well, she did learn something. It's a start.
