Moondancer: Ugh…

Trixie: Stay still honey, you have dirt all over your coat…

Maud: That’s why we have to scrub it. It’s some sulfur and a little bit of…

Moondancer: Ouch! For Celestia’s sake… I should have known it’s gonna be a disaster… It was supposed to be just a simple spell variation..!

Trixie: Moony, I appreciate that you wanted to make my performance more… extreme, but I was really worried when you summoned that fire…

Moondancer: I wasn’t supposed to be like that! I… I can’t even make a simple spell work. I should have known that. I’m a failure…

Trixie: Moony…

Moondancer: All I can do is some stupid tricks good for little foals, this is NOT the real magic! I should stick with this good-for-nothing gimmicks, just as we planned in this stupid performance and… Moondancer realises what he just said. The room is now in total silence, minus the scrubbing of the sponge. Trixie looks at her son with sad, apologetic smile.

Moondancer: Wait, I didn’t mean that… Sorry mom, it’s not your shows that are stupid..! It’s just me. I can’t do anything right…

Trixie: Honey, I know that you wanted to impress everypony, but…

Moondancer: No, it’s more like… I wanted to impress myself. That I can do this spell. That I… I can be more than I am. And I’ve ruined your show…

Trixie: Ruined..? Trixie chuckles Have you seen the looks on everypony’s faces? They were sure this was a part of the show. If it wasn’t that dangerous, I would consider this as a part of regular finale!

Moondancer: Seriously..?

Trixie: The great and powerful Trixie and her great and fiery son! Well, we need a lot of practice for that…

Maud: And a non-inflamable coat…

Trixie: …but it’s an idea for the great show!

Moondancer: Well, I… I don’t know. I’m not good at this at all.

Trixie: Let’s make a deal – starting tommorow we will excercise this, I may even ask princess Twilight for some advice, but you have to do some tricks with me, when I’ll go to foal’s hospital. Okay?

Moondancer: murmurs quietly Idon’twannagothere…

Trixie: What?

Moondancer: Nothing… takes big breath before asking Are we gonna go to princess Twilight’s castle to ask if she wants to help us?

Trixie: Well I you want to…

Moondancer: Want? No, of course not, why would I want to go there..? It’s just… I think it’s good manners to ask her in person he nervously answers, trying not to think about seeing Pandora there

Trixie: giggling a little bit Ok, that’s what we’re going to do. Now, let me grab some water, this white coat is hard to clean up…

Moondancer: Moooom… I CAN clean myself, thank you very much… Ugh..! he cringes a little when Trixie pours a bucket of water on him

Maud: We’ll need more soap for sure.
