> **For the first time ever.**
> *Jack Pot was a famous magician in Equestria. He had toured and traveled*
> *to many places around the Kingdom, bedazzling audiences with his spectacular*
> *magic and mysterious tricks. And by his side through it all, was his assistant: A*
> *mare who went by the name of Showcase Spectacle. The two had been through*
> *quite a lot on their tour, from their failures to their eventual successes. But after*
> *one particularly enchanting performance, the two decided to celebrate with something*
> *special, a night of passion. After that night however, and as time went on, Showcase*
> *somehow had changed. She wasn't as energetic as she used to be, and it really showed*
> *when her performances began to suffer. Ashamed, she mysteriously disappeared,*
> *leaving behind only a letter and a single rose for Jack Pot to find, informing him that her*
> *time as his assistant and lover was finished. Despite his desperate efforts to find her,*
> *the heartbroken,and jaded magician was left with no choice but to carry on alone.*
> *But many years later, during his biggest show ever, Jackpot was suddenly joined on-stage*
> *by a mysterious mare. Their show was, unexpectedly, beyond magical. Why the only other*
> *mare he knew who could perform in such a way was his lost love. But it wasn't until the*
> *mare removed her hat and mask, that he was left aghast. She had heard many stories*
> *about him from her mother, and decided to become a magician herself as a means to*
> *become closer to him. She stared at him with tears in her eyes as the spotlight gleamed*
> *above them both; Her heart beating rapidly. Would he accept her? Or not?*

> I got inspired by the idea behind Trixie's parents, especially the idea of her
> father being unaware of her existence, so I devised this short story.
> I believe the producers said her mother's name would be Spectacle
> or Showcase or something of the sort, so I combined the two together:
> Showcase Spectacle. It has a nice ring to it. Sorry for the lack of uploads
