Trixie looked down from her stage, careful not to lose her balance on its squishy cushions. It was important to know your audience before starting the show, and Trixie liked the look of this bunch. Almost everyone had shown up! It was her biggest performance yet! She paused to readjust her hat, careful to not let it slide back down over her face. Satisfied, she cleared her throat and stepped to the front of the stage.

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, TODAY, YOU’RE GOING TO SEE MAGIC LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE! HERE SHE IS, THE ONE! THE ONLY! THE MIGHTY TRIXIE THE GREAT!”

With that, Trixie threw her arms up in the air, throwing handfuls of glitter as she did. The flakes glittered in the sunlight, most landing on her towel cloak. From the audience, a single voice cheered and clapped as loud as she could, sometimes stopping to shake the stuffed animals beside her. Starlight was Trixie’s biggest fan, of course, and she spread her enthusiasm to the rest of the crowd as best she could.

On the stage, Trixie paused, taking in the applause. She knew to let the audience decide when she should begin, letting themselves pump themselves up in the process. Glimmer was getting tired of making the puppet on her left clap, however, and Trixie decided that was her cue.

“FOR HER FIRST AMAZING TRICK, TRIXIE NEEDS A VOLUNTEER FROM THE AUDIENCE! Ummm… You! Yes you, come up here and help Trixie!” She pointed to Glimmer, who stopped only to confirm Trixie was indeed pointing to her before clambering up. She took a bow on stage, almost tumbling off it before Trixie caught her.

“Now, miss Glimmer, what do you know about being sawed in half?”***

Another old scene I had in the works for a long time before finally getting around to finishing it. I figured its about time Trixie makes another appearance, particularly as the next two commissions feature her. Getting in a little practice, right?

Glim-Glam makes a great audience, which is good since she has to act out all of it. She can make anything clap!
