Summary
The Story begins when The Flim Flam Brothers reveal a new flying machine to Gilda. They mention that they cannot power the machine themselves. Gilda recomends that they hire The Great And Powerful Trixie who is in Trottingham for a magic Show.

When Trixie is unable to power the machine, she develops a plan to pony-nap the only unicorn that can: Twilight Sparkle. They travel to Ponyville and trick Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash into becoming there hostages. Angel helps them escape as part of Twilight's plan to rescue them, but Angel himself is captured and Twilight is forced to help them.

It's safe to assume that the plan doesn't work out in the end. (Spoiler alert) The plane is Crashed into Canterlot by Gilda. After this, Princess Celestia informs them that Trixies foolish plan created so much fear, hatred, and disharmony that Discord was freed from his stone prison once more.
