THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE

In Golden Oaks Library, Twilight Sparkle and Spike practice Twilight's magic ability. They are already at her 25th trick which was 'growing magic' where Twilight grew a mustache on Spike. Spike then wanted to use his classy mustache charm to impress Rarity but Twilight reversed her magic making Spike's new mustache disappear.

Ever since Twilight has showed her magic skills to Spike, he continuously complimented and praised her abilities as the best unicorn in all Ponyville, but Twilight modestly says that there are probably many more unicorns who have the same or better abilities than her. As the both were having a stroll, two unicorns named Snips and Snails dashed towards Twilight and Spike spreading the word about the 'most powerful and magical unicorn ever'. Curious of who this new unicorn could be, Twilight and Spike rush along to see as well.

When they arrived, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were already there along with many other ponies. With glam, booms and sparks, the Great and Powerful Trixie introduced herself by numerous boasts about her achievements as the most wonderful unicorn in all Equestria.

Already annoyed by her attitude, the ponies are skeptic of Trixie. Twilight asks if it is wrong to be talented, but Applejack and Rarity explain that their is nothing wrong as long as you don't boast about it, which lowers Twilight's self-esteem of her and her magic although Spike continues to encourage Twilight to show everypony what real magic is made of. Rainbow Dash flies up to Trixie and asks her what makes her so special than the rest of them. With a proud smirk, Trixie explains the story of how she saved the town of Hoofington from an 'Ursa Major' by vanquishing it back to the Everfree Forest. Trixie notices them as 'neigh-sayers' and challenges them to show off their skills as well.

First Applejack is challenged to see if she can best Trexie. Applejack shows of her rodeo skills with her lasso tricks and lassoing an apple into her mouth. Sadly, she is bested by Trixie as she magically imitates the rope into a snack and hog-ties around Applejack's legs and making her fall over and sticking an apple in her mouth.

After witnessing Trixie embarrass Applejack, Rainbow Dash takes action by showing off her speed and agility by making holes in the clouds and perfectly going back through them to collect moisture and landing with a rainbow around her. Trixie fights back by making Rainbow Dash's rainbow go wild and turn into a twister, making her dizzy and then by making a thundercloud, Trixie finished by electrifying Dash.


Although Rarity tried to avoid the quarrel between unicorns since a unicorn she show herself with "beauty and grace" not by being a ruffian. Her thoughts change when Trixie calls out to Rarity if she's afraid to get a hair out of place in her 'rats nest she calls a mane'. As she exclaims that 'oh it's on', Rarity tries to show off her magic and poise with her style as she magically changes her clothes and mane-style. Trixie retaliates by magically turning Rarity's beautiful mane into green much with twigs and rat-tails sticking out of it. She cries and runs away embarrassed shouting "Oh, green hair! Not green hair! Such an awful, awful color!" and passes a green-haired variation of Golden Harvest where she exclaims "Well, I never!". (Golden Harvest is also seen in the crowd with her normal orange colored mane.) Spike then encourages Twilight once again to show off her magic, but then she runs away and Trixie declares herself as "the most amazing unicorn in all Equestria."


After the Great and Powerful Trixie's show, Snips and Snails deliver a smoothie with extra hay in it, "just the way she likes" it, and then asks for another adventure story of how she defeated an ursa major. Although, Trixie proclaims she is exhausted from exhibiting the most wonderful magic of all the time so she tells them to go away. As they walk away, they bump into Spike who is skeptical about Trixie's stories also since he needs proof. To that statement Snips and Snails have an idea and head to the Everfree Forest.
Spike then returns to Twilight Sparkle where he tries again to convince her to show off her magic to stand up for her friends. Twilight says she can't take the risk of possibly losing her friends at the same time so Spike walks away frustrated.

 THE URSA MAJOR

That night, Snips and Snails venture into Everfree Forest where they run into a big blue bear inside a cave, accidentally waking it up and leading it to Ponyville. They run to Trixie to wake her up so that she could  vanquish the bear like she did before. Upon seeing the big bear she panics and runs away with two colts after it crushes her trailer. Snips and Snails keeps encouraging Trixie to vanquish the bear but after a few failed attempts she admits to everyone that she has never vanquished an ursa major before.

 Before Ponyville was majorly damaged, Twilight Sparkle finally gives in to use her powers to save and protect her friends. Spike has run quickly to tell Twilight about the situation when the bear arrived. She then uses her magical powers to make a lullaby with the cattails to calm the bear and then levitated the water tower to fill it full of milk from a cow barn and feeds the bear with it. The bear then drifts back to his cave where he came from.

After the incident, all the ponies cheer for Twilight as she saved them all. Twilight Sparkle then asks her friends is they don't mind her magic tricks. They dismiss Trixie's boasts and praise Twilight and her magic reassuring her that her magic is part of who she is and that they are proud of her and how they have such a powerful and talented unicorn as her as a friend. Twilight as grateful as ever then explains that the bear they encountered was an 'ursa minor' not an 'ursa major'. Still proud, Trixie declares that Twilight still doesn't posses the "amazing, show-stopping ability" as she does and runs off after a small cloud of puff appears. Rainbow Dash was going to go after her but Twilight stopped her saying that "Maybe someday she will learn her lesson".

 Twilight then faces Snips and Snails and tells them that as punishment for luring the minor ursa into town,  they have to clean up the whole area. With Spike's suggestion, Twilight also uses her magic to give all of them a mustache. When back into the library, Twilight sends Princess Celestia a friendship report telling her that she should be proud of her talent and know when it is the right time to use it. Twilight then admits to Spike that she is the most talented unicorn in Ponyville but "it is nothing to brag about". Spike also shares that he is disappointed that Rarity wasn't interested Spike's new look with the mustache and Twilight gives him advice to just be himself although he fantasizes about getting a matching beard.
