Trixie immediately grabbed Sunset Shimmer's hand.
With Sunset Shimmer's help, Trixie successfully came out of the closet.
Sunset Shimmer even carefully helped her pat off the dust sticking to her body.
"...I thought you would want to give up on me, after all, I'm an unreliable partner."
"Yes, you really are a very unreliable partner. Especially compared to my previous partner pony..."
"Sorry, but you said previous what...?"
"Nothing! It's nothing."
Sunset Shimmer interrupted Trixie's curiosity and continued.
"Even if you are unreliable, you are still my partner. I have no reason to give up on you before things are done. This is the first thing I took on after coming here to start a new life; I don't want to give up halfway. And I hope you won't either."
Just now, when Trixie discovered that things were exposed and immediately used a smoke bomb to run away, it really gave Sunset Shimmer a fright.
"Aren't you always claiming to be the most great and omnipotent? I thought you were ready to give up after encountering just a little setback! If that were the case, tomorrow night's event would completely turn into the Rainbow Sonic Boom Band's debut performance."
After calming Trixie's emotions, Sunset Shimmer used a reverse psychology tactic again.
Aurora used to use this trick on her from time to time, but it had to be said that this trick was indeed effective every time against this kind of pony... person, who had a relatively aggressive or awkward personality.
"Are you really willing to let those fans who came for your magic performance end up benefiting Rainbow Dash and the others?"
"Of course not! In the dictionary of The Great and All-Powerful Trixie, there is never the word 'give up halfway'!"
Especially since the hype she built up herself would end up being a wedding dress for that cocky rainbow-haired tomboy Rainbow Dash; no matter what, Trixie couldn't accept this.
Watching that kid Rainbow Dash show off was even more uncomfortable than having no one watch her magic!
But the magic props were all destroyed; relying on herself alone, it was impossible to finish fixing them all in time.
Trixie's gaze turned to Sunset Shimmer, and she found that Sunset Shimmer was looking at her.
"In order for your magic performance to proceed smoothly, don't be coy anymore. I happen to be quite good at manual work; if I help you fix them, we should be able to make it before the performance tomorrow night."
Hearing this, Trixie stared deeply at Sunset Shimmer. Sunset Shimmer thought Trixie was guarding against her stealing her magic, so she quickly added.
"I'm not interested in magic; I just want everything to get back on track. Isn't this exactly what I, as a 'magic assistant', should do?"
"Ha! The magic performance of The Great and All-Powerful Trixie is not something just anyone can learn. Props are just auxiliary; the most important thing is, of course, the technique of me, the magician!"
The cheered-up Trixie perked up again, resuming her great and omnipotent posture.
And listening to what she said, and seeing her cocky appearance, Sunset Shimmer inexplicably thought of Aurora again, and a line of dialogue slipped out.
"Ma ♦ gic ♦ tech ♦ nique ♦!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Ahem! Nothing..."
Sunset Shimmer blushed and averted her gaze; she didn't know what kind of madness had struck her, actually blurting out what she was thinking.
"Alright, let's start quickly, let's finish some of the easy ones first..."
Sunset Shimmer thought that there were still important things to do, so she put away her playful thoughts and seriously told Trixie to quickly get into a working state.
Just at this moment, Trixie suddenly stepped forward and hugged her, catching Sunset Shimmer off guard. Being this close to a human for the first time made her very uncomfortable, and she wanted to push her away immediately.
"Thank you, Sunset Shimmer."
Among all the students in the school, it was Sunset Shimmer who was the first to extend a helping hand to her; even if she wasn't that willing at the beginning, Sunset Shimmer was truly helping her with all her heart.
"...Alright, just for a little while."
Sunset Shimmer's expression twisted for a moment due to disgust, but she still didn't reach out to push Trixie away.
Fortunately, Trixie didn't take the opportunity to push her luck; she really just hugged her for a moment and then immediately separated.
"Come on, let's get busy, my friend!"
"Tsk..."
Why is this damn friendship everywhere!
On the other side, Rainbow Dash, having received Sunset Shimmer's instruction to block the door, was leaning on a chair, sitting behind the door and bracing against the gym's main gate. No matter how Snip and Snell knocked on the door after returning from buying things, she didn't leave the door for a single step.
Although she didn't know what was going on between Sunset Shimmer and Trixie, Rainbow Dash didn't want to delve into it for the time being, just focusing on guarding this door.
No way around it, she had always been very loyal to her friends.
"Sunset Shimmer: Problem solved."
"Rainbow Dash: Received! What about the door?"
"Sunset Shimmer:?"
"Sunset Shimmer: Anyway, it's fine now, just let those two in first."
