Teleporting out, I found Trixie heading for her wagon, possibly for the night. Galloping towards her, I called out to to her. She deserved to know that not only did she have a good friend, but also a special fan.

“I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with your performance. It really does beat any other magic show I’d seen in the past….including my act of accidentally making a student vanish...”

Thank you, Loyal Defender.

You know, "The Great and Powerful" Trixie has never had an actual fan before.

“I know you normally might or might not receive much...well, applause or appreciation for your magic acts. So I figured, ‘Why not appreciate what’s given to you?’ So, I took in the magic and specialty of your show...and I have to admit, it’s wonderful being friends with someone full of potential, full of new ways to bedazzle her audience.”

Trixie appreciates both you & your kind words very much. 

Thank You.

“So...before I do head off, I might as well….oh, wait, there’s something under your hat.” Please let this trick pay off. I used magic to pull a bouquet of roses from underneath Trixie’s hat. “I hadn’t perfected that one, but...this was also for you. I actually forgot about it before. I know, you might say I’m too kind, but….no point in trying to be anything but if it’s how you were raised.”

A bouquet of roses?... 

TRIXIE *ADORES* ROSES!

Trixie usually has roses delivered to herself for a "Great and Powerful" performance well done, but *these* roses...Are special.

“I figured you’d like them. It’s not often I would show gratitude to performers, so I wouldn’t pass up the opportunity.”

(this moment's so sweet ^-^)

(How pathetic can I make Trixie look while also making her seem genuine?)

 

I'm glad to have met you, Loyal Defender & more than that, I am honored to call you my friend.

“That’s sweet, Trixie. I can say the same about you.”

(Try not to be TOO pathetic. Although he won’t care, he appreciates all he’s given.)

(I was referring to the "delivering roses to myself" comment.)

 

So, what are you going to do now? 

Go back and spend time with your "wonderful" father & mother before they leave you again? (She's *kinda* right about Gallant Knight.)

“Yeah...but when I can, if you like….perhaps you could teach me some magic as well? I’m willing to learn to improve.”

 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(Yeah.)

[Sparklefan1234 161,868]

Ok. 

 

The first thing Trixie will teach you is how to set-up your audience...

 

*Trixie  spends hours teaching Loyal Defender all the tricks of her trade...Except for any actual magic tricks*

 

(Trixie *is* the top magician in Equestria for a reason, after all.)

You are most certainly welcome.

Something to remember me by.
