At the center of town, Dusk walks towards a huge group of ponies standing near the stage as he sighs and walks over himself. Dusk spots Elusive, Blitz, Applejack and (Y/N) near the front. Elusive hitting on (Y/N) like always as Applejack had to stand between them to get Elusive to stop. Dusk decided to stand next to Elusive to figure out what's going on. As Spike sat on Dusk's back.

"So what are we all gathered around for? Did this crowd just form spontaneously?" Dusk asked, looking at Elusive.

"I don't know. I don't really recall how I got here, but I'm in the front of the crowd, and that makes me happy...and my Darling Jewel is near so that makes me happy as well. This seems to happen a lot with social situations." Elusive explained.

"I think we're all waiting on the 'Tricky Shoe'." Rainbow smiled as he gestured to the sign.

"It says 'Tricksy Shoe'...Not Tricky..." (Y/N) sighed, placing her book in her bag.

"Either that or a fireworks sale." Applejack nudged his head towards the sign that says 'Fierwork Hurts - Warm- Ine. Sail! 2 for 1!' on it, " Two-for-one, although it's a bit early for Hearth's Warmin'."

"Do we have to be here?" Spike asked, "I want to go home."

"This is the first time I'm agreeing with Spike." (Y/N) states then shivered, "Augh...I hated that."

Dusk ignored (Y/N)'s tangent as he looked at Spike, "Why? The only thing waiting at home for you is chores."

"I found a bit lying on the ground." Spike holds up the coin, "I'm gonna put it in my bed and I'm gonna sleep on it."

Dusk uses his magic to snag the bit, "Spike, give me that. You don't know where it's been. It's dirty."

"But..." Spike seemed sad then upset, "...it's mine. I found it."

Suddenly a pony poofed up on stage, "Welcome, everypony, to the great, the powerful... Tricksy Shoe!" The pony noticed the issue, "...Show. Oh, shoot, did I write that?" He sighed, "Um... I am the Great and Powerful Trixie. My name is spelled with an 'X' actually. I think when I made that banner, I was a little drunk. I was gonna change my name for marketing, but never mind." He smirked, "Behold!"

"Hey, your show sucks so far!" Rainbow yelled from the crowd.

Trixie paused, "Who said that?" He asked, "How dare you! I'll have you know that an honest critique killed my family!"

Dusk seemed slightly shocked, "He didn't mean your show sucks."

"Dusk...don't lie." (Y/N) scoffed.

"My Darling Jewel is right." Elusive smirked, willing to lie himself to get (Y/N) to like him, "Dusk, it does suck. And so does his outfit, by the way."
