MY LITTLE JOJO: STANDS ARE MAGIC
CHAPTER 9: TRIXIE AND STARLIGHT DON'T KNOW WHAT HITS THEM
OPEN THE GAME!

>Trixie has never had a friend before
>Sure, you've had droves upon droves of fans
>Well, okay, maybe not THAT many fans...
>But a genuine friend is a new experience for you
>Not that you'd mess it up!
>You may be the humble and kind Trixie now
>But that doesn't mean you're NOT great and powerful still
>You'll do fine!
>Yeah...
>...
>This silence betwixt you and Starlight isn't awkward at ALL
>"Trixie? You okay?"
"Yes, Trixie's fine. She's just... slightly nervous."
>"What's up?"
"Am... Am I a good friend?"
>This stops Starlight
>"Well... I mean, you're kinda... y'know, a show off, which I guess comes with the territory of being a performer. You also talk in the third person which can sometimes get on my nerves..."
>Your face lowers slightly
>"But you're still a good friend! Nopony's perfect!"
>Of course!
>W-Who could possibly deny their love of the GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE?
>Y'know...
>Besides anyone with a tomato, or anything small enough to not be lethal but still do damage
>"What's wrong Trixie?"
"I'm still not used to this whole... friendship thing."
>"Oh, don't worry, you'll get it in no time. Besides, isn't this the point of why we're walking to your house? To hang out and become better friends?"
"Yes, of course! Trixie was just..."
>You pause, attempting to find an answer that didn't sound needy or limp
"Do you think the other girls hate Trixie?"
>"Well du-"
>She stops as she notices the frown on your face
>"-I'm sure that, in time, they'll appreciate your company, but-... Yeah, I got nothin'."
"Trixie thanks you for the attempt nonetheless."
>"No problem."
>Starlight wraps her foreleg around your neck
>"That's what friends are for, right?"
>This puts a smile on your face
>A few minutes pass as you both arrive at your trailer in a field a few minutes away from Ponyville, next to the Everfree
>You open the door to the inside before turning around to your current companion
"So, would you like to come in?"
>She nods, and you move out of the way as she steps into your humble abode
>It feels odd having another pony in here with you
>Though it's actually quite large on the inside, considering it's meant to be a trailer for pre-show prep
>You've just never had a pony in here with you
>Except for an... escort, every once in a while, when you were particularly lonely
>Not that you were lonely now, what with this beautiful mare-
>Who was your friend
>And nothing else
>There wasn't much in here, to be quite honest
>A bed, a fridge with a cold enchantment, a small desk and vanity, a tiny-as-tartarus restroom with a toilet and sink which were both linked to a water tank and a waste tank with an inodorosity enchantment, and your box of magical tools for shows
>There was also your JoyBoy, currently sitting on your bed and housing your copy of Professor Neighton and the Curious Village
>You haven't played that in a while, now that you think about it
>Naturally it was easy, for somepony so intelligent
>It's not like you've been stuck on a particular puzzle that ABSOLUTELY INFURIATES you
>Not at all
>You've just been busy
>"This is pretty big for a trailer!"
>You turn to Starlight, whose eyes are open in wonder
"What can Trixie say? When you're on the road constantly, you have to make it a second home. Or in Trixie's case, first."
>"I'd think it would get lonely here, traveling alone all the time."
>No, please, rub it in Trixie's face
>"NOT THAT I'M INSINUATING ANYTHING OR- actually, I never asked, but are you single?"
>A blush crosses your face
>And you feared YOU were bad at friendship
>Though, this is moreso conversation than-
>"I mean-... I-..."
>An awkward silence begins to form in the room
"How would you like to learn some more magic with Trixie? I never showed you more than that one trick, did I?"
>"Ooh, that sounds like fun!"
"Okay, just wait outside and I'll be right there."
>She steps outside and you begin to go through the box, wondering what to show Starlight
>Rings? Nah
>Wand? Come now, you want to impress Starlight, not bore her
>Disappearing box? Sure
>Simple, but fun
>You grab that and a few other items, bringing them with you outside
>Starlight sits there, eager to learn
>A noise earns your attention
>What the Tartarus?
>You turn your head towards the trailer and wonder what that noise was
>It sounded like...
>You turn away
>It's probably nothing
>You bring the box out, unfolding it
>"Alright Starlight, today I'm going to teach you how to DISAPPEAR!"
>You flip your cape-
>That's not there, right
>You didn't have your outfit
>Oh well
"Watch closely now. You wouldn't want to miss this!"
>You open the box and enter it, but leave the door open
"When I close this door, I want you to knock on it three times, okay?"
>She nods and you close it
>The secret to this is...
>*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
>This is only one of TWO compartments in this box
>You slide down the false barrier, sliding with grace into the next compartment
>You're about to slide open the secret door when-
>"AAAAUUUUUUUGH!"
>WHAT THE SHIT?!
>You go back into the main compartment, slide the door closed and open the main door
>Starlight is currently lying on the ground, bleeding
>Oh shit
>You run towards her, brushing her mane out of her face
"Starlight! What happened?!"
>"I don't know! I was standing waiting for you to finish your magic trick when... something hit me in the flank!"
"What do you mean 'something' hit you in the flank?! I think it's be easy to identify something that-"
>You turn to her flank to identify what hit her-
>And end up staring at the trees behind Starlight
>"Uhhhh, Trixie, I can't believe I'm saying this, but my flank is down here."
"I know that!"
>You turn your head back down towards her flank and-
>Damnit now you're staring at her face again!
>You keep trying to look at her flank, but your attention keeps being deflected away, like whatever's there is a magnet with the same polarity as your face!
>Ahh, it's probably not that important
>No wait, yes it is!
>But come on, Starlight's wound is more important
>WHICH WAS CAUSED BY SOMETHING HITTING IT, WHICH I-
"GFFUCK!"
>Your head begins to hurt
>What the Tartarus?!
>Every time you try to focus on the thing on Starlight's flank, your attention turns away from it
>Why? It's not like it's important-
>-YES IT IS, CELESTIA DAMNIT
"GRRR!"
>Again with the pain!
>"Trixie..."
>You look to her face to find here eyes closing and her breathing becoming labored
>OOOOHH SHIT!
>You can't loser her!
>Not now!
>NOT NOW!
"STAY WITH TRIXIE STARLIGHT! YOU'LL BE FINE, TRIXIE JUST NEEDS YOU TO KEEP TALKING!"
>"Wha-... what hit me?"
"DON'T THINK ABOUT IT!"
>Alright Trixie
>Your (only) friend is currently bleeding out thanks to being struck with-
"GYAAH!"
>You hold your head in your hooves as a jolt of pure unadulterated pain shoots through it
>Fuck, Trixie can't think about it either!
>Trixie will just have to pull it out without looking or thinking about it!
>But Trixie needs to understand its location in space in order to pull it out!
>HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO!
>HAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!
>You grip whatever is embedded in Starlight's flank, causing a whine to come from your throat and tears to flow from your eyes from the sheer mental pain
>After a bit of struggling, you finally get it out and throw it to the ground
"Thank Celestia!"
>You're just glad that's over with!
>Now you can finally treat her-
>"Trixie... Something's wrong."
>Oh what now?
>Starlight points her hoof behind you while her eyes are rolling up into her skull
>You do a 180 to look behind you-
>But you can't see whatever's there, as your head keeps turning like mad to avoid looking that way

>Oh Wooden Bit
>You sly minx
>Not only do you get to take out some snooty rich types
>But you got yourself a sweet ability
>What did that hooded creep call it?
>A Stand?
>Whatever
>You preferred the name ?IT'S A JOB?
>This golden pony thing comes out, the kind that looks like it belongs on a trophy or a fancy cart
>And whatever it touches can't be looked at by nopony
>Anytime anypony (but you of course) tries to look at or so much as think about whatever it touched will be deflected
>Whether it be turning their head just a little too far, leaving it alone as a stray thought enters their head, or physical pain, for those who don't get the message
>No one will be noticing what it touches
>By force if necessary
>You take a few more knives from your pouch and grab them with It's A Job
>To think, yesterday you were but a poor miser, begging for chump change
>Now you're gonna be one of the rich ones!
>Thanks creepy hood guy!
>Everything is coming up Wooden Bit!
>You fling the knives with your Stand at the two bimbos
>"GET IN THE BOX!"
>The blue one grabs her pink friend and teleports into the box that she brought out from her trailer, the knives missing by a hair
>Dagnabit!
>How could she-
>Oh
>No shit
>She figured out your ability
>So when she couldn't look in your direction she took notice
>Looks like you'll have to take care of this yourself
>Another knife enters your mouth as you walk towards the box, now covered in knives
>You open the box to find-
>The pink one alone?
>"Watch closely now" she manages to get out between breaths
>The hell is she-
>*SMACK!*

"You wouldn't want to miss this."
>The brown earth pony with the white mane and bit cutie mark falls unconscious
>Well, that's over with
>Now then, what's been averting our attention this who-
>KNIVES
>Starlight was hit with a KNIFE!
>And your magic disappearing box in now filled with knives in its side!
>Oh dear
>Oh that's not good
>You throw her over your shoulder onto your back and tie up the earth pony with some rope, bringing them both into your trailer
>This mare had some explaining to do
