The mare on stage offered an appreciative bow, but her quivering lip couldn't help convey that she was not confident in her audition. Like every other shot down wannabe-star before her, she scampered off stage left while the stage and casting director shuffled through their papers for the next sign-up. Trixie was a far harsher stage director than Twilight Sparkle some years before, but she demanded perfection. If her casting director Starlight had it her way, they would've gone with the first few schlubs that croaked out an audition. "You can't spell Effort without For, and you sure went for it!" She'd encourage them either before or after they were chased off.
