I like to write short comedy things in my spare time. One day I'll write a proper story, I swear.

Finding themselves with a surplus of illegal fireworks, Trixie and Starlight begin selling them on the black market, to make a bit of extra money on the side. But what sort of ponies would want to buy illicit fireworks?
Short and stupid. Inspired by a joke from Season 8 Episode 7, although this story contains no real spoilers for the plot of that episode.

If they need more Flair, could always ask Rarity for some Bellbottoms. Her reaction would be hilarious.
What if Twilight banned interspecies dating?! It will be a disaster.

Sequel idea: Trixie and Starlight begin selling illicit trousers

My YonaCord ship!
You managed to write this the same day the episode aired?
8892847
Well, it's only short, and it's Saturday, so I didn't have anything else I particularly needed to do.
Also, the team of starving authors I keep chained up to work for me helped.8892847
It's not really that hard to do if you're quite inspired.
Now a ten thousand word story the same day an episode aired... that would be something amazing.
8892862
Mister Alex... M-May I have some p-p-porridge, please? I promise I'll write more next time. I'm s-so very hungry.
8892897
You'll get more porridge when this reaches the Feature box!

I guess someone is going to bed hungry tonight.
God, if this hits the box, this comment is gonna be laughed out more than it already is.
This was a fun little story.
8892938
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it
Really could've been a deleted scene or subplot of the show. Heard every line in the characters' voices, that's how good it was.
8893068
Thanks, man! It's good to be back in the saddle, on the road again. Except for all the saddlesores.
8893237
Thank you
It is an outrageous injustice that the Great and Powerful Trixie is forbidden to use firework.
What goes around comes around, Twily.
Still waters run deep.
Giving fireworks to the Crusaders is a very bad and potentially deadly idea.
Et tu, Luna?
It´s a working title.
And so Pinkie got her fireworks.
Good story.

I answered the question nobody asked about today's episode. How exactly did Twixie get into the firework business, anyway?
It's clearly named after two famous detectives, After Dark and Very Suspicious.
8893907
I didn't even know it was possible to have a headcanon for your own story until now.
[Stefon] "If you're looking for a real 'blast' this holiday, Ponyville's hottest illegal fireworks stand is 'Aaahh, I'm on fire!!!'. Located in the unironically-named Dark and Suspicious Alley in that part of town your parents told you to stay away from after midnight, this place has everything: wooden boxes, dry straw roofs, no fire hydrants, a tall hooded figure that asks you why you think you know them, and if you're lucky, you might see a Screaming Rapidash."
[Seth] "Screaming Rapidash?"
[Stefon] "It's this thing where a former customer who's a unicorn doesn't know fire safety rules…"
Next up: Trixie sells fireworks that run on Fiendfire...
8892902 8892907
Its featured, feed him already!
8894876
He'll get a bowl of the finest gruel for his good work.
8895027
Well that's a bit unfair... I'm only getting a three course meal for up voting.
Make it a thimble of the finest gruel and throw in a single apple chunk to even things out!
Shouldn't Pinkie have shown up at one point?
8895444
Maybe if they didn't run out of fireworks.
8895247
Cabits 4 life

You people are crueler than me

I like to think of this as just the first of many occasions where Trixie sold her illegal fireworks to make a bit on the side. Pinkie probably became a repeat customer later.
I love this hilarious story.
Why don't they just acronymize the name and it Trixie's B.A.M. Fireworks Stand? Y'know cause, explosives go BAM? ...no?
This may have been 'short', but it was not 'stupid'! Funny as all-hell! And glad it ended well and profitable for the two of them.
Because they don't want anyone to get lost whenever they are looking for a place for dubious business.

Twilight! After all your talk of forming friendship with other species you frown on interspecies relationships? For shame!
And this is why Equestrian insurance adjusters reach for the milk of magnesia whenever they see the word "Ponyville" on a form. ANY form.
Pressure from the cliche lobby. Same reason why there's a road that goes straight off a cliff.
In any case, delightful stuff. Thank you for a hilarious little burst of a story.
Quick, cute, well-written. I liked it.
8896126
There's a very good reason why they didn't do that, and it isn't just because I didn't think of it, honest!

It all makes sense now!
Fluttershy as Bill Killgore?

Zoning ordinances of course! This allows extra-legal ponies to legally make a living. If you are going to have crime, might as well make it organised!
id knda like to know what everyone else who bought fireworks did with em XD It would have also been Ironic had Twilight bought some
Because Batman already owns the name Crime Alley.
This was a brilliant bit of insanity written on the fly.
The fact that the initials are 'BAMF' helps, I'm sure.
Boom
8895247 And that's how Ryo-Ohki was born

Fun read.
Would totaly read more of this.
Hay names Ace and I'm looking for a a vary brilliant and dazzlings firecracker named Trixie.
Lol sorry had to make the joke
"And yet you still allow your pet lizard to roam free," Trixie grumbled.
The Dragon Lord had Garble eat her that night and leave her head on Twilight's pillow as a warning not to disrespect the new Dragon Mafia.

It's like New Jersey. For a while they were trying to even get sparkler's banned.
Yep, you could play with a blow torch... but sparklers?! FAR too dangerous!
Feh, we learned to make our OWN alcohol as kids! And we mostly didn't even go blind!
Some take it a bit too far... like that group that has a fascination with hydras and the things they can do with 4 mouths...
Clever
