This story is a sequel to A Newspaper Solves Everypony's Problem
Trixie has a problem. She may have accidently, and awesomely, teleported a table during a simple magic exercise. At least the table has been found, but now she has to, ugh, talk about what happened with Twilight… Or does she?

Makes sense. Trixie is a stage magican and they are masters of misdirection.
Okay, that was hilarious. That final line really sold it, though.
The Great and Powderful Trixie!
Amnesia dust?
... I'll be honest. Truly the Tooth Fairy's most powerful weapon.
Amnesia dust.
That's not how it works!
Amnesia dust.
AGAIN! NOT HOW IT WORKS!
Amnesia dust.
ARGH!
... Amnesia dust. That's how it works.
AND I KEEP ON TELLING YOU THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!
Amnesia dust. Do you remember what you were yelling at me about?
OF COURSE I DO! I'M YELLING AT YOU THAT"S NOT HOW AMNESIA DUST WORKS!
Amensia dust. It really works!
IT REALLY DOESN"T!
Loved it!
a concerned look?
8105870
Fixed! Thanks.
Oh my god I died laughing at this.
The season 7 premiere has certainly been generating a lot of interesting fics, but this one takes the cake by a landslide!
There's just too much to comment on here, so I'll simply cherry-pick the single best bit from the entire story:
Also, I love the "amnesia dust" punchline.
Discord would be SO PROUD!
And then you went and doubled down with Sunset Shimmer!!
1. Why is Trixie so disgusted at the thought of becoming the apprendice of her best (only?) friend and one of the most powerful and talented unicorns in the country?
2. What did Human Trixie do to Sunset, for Baconhead hitting her on sight?
I'm reminded of this one anime fanfc where the villain (who loves overcomplicated plans) has amnesia dust as the answer to any and every problem/inconsistency in reality. Its even better here as Trixie's application of it kind of works.
Poor Spike, he deserves a medal for dealing with the shenanigans of unicorns for all his life. Too bad Starlight still doesn't really get the "brainwashing and magic are bad" lesson, but that's what Sunset is for. Yay, Sunset and the Newspaper to the rescue! Again! Next time someone attacks Equestria they should just call up Sunset to deal with it (that or she'll anger Starlight enough so that she would deal with it). I am curious just how Trixie would somehow murder Starlight in her sleep considering how powerful Starlight is, but it would probably be a great and powerful way.
I understood that reference.
I'd do that too.
... You worry me.
I see...
She's right, you know.
... OK then...
We've noticed.
Dammit Trixie.
HAH!
I got nothing. That's just funny.
*shrug* What can ya do?
Pinkie, did you show her Futashy?
... Poor guy.
Clever... Also, accidentALly.
Indeed.
... Since when were Twilight and Trixie friends?
8106642 The episode last year when Starlight made a friend of Trixie started a chain of events which has led Twilight to mending fences with the girl. They still have some issues, and Trixie has backslid more than once, but they're in a much better place with each other now.
Oh, the sequence where Starlight is talking about Lockheart's memory spell, you use the word "himself" three times in the same sentence. It's something I actively look for whenever I plunk away at the keyboard, because it's such an easy trap to fall into. And it can be a pain sometimes finding different ways of saying the same thing, but the end result is just better for the effort.
"the acronym of Fantastic and Amazing Repentance Tour is F.A.R.T."
I LITERALLY BUSTED OUT LAUGHING
8106987
Thanks. I dropped one of the instances. Redundancy is something I also actively avoid, though I tend to give dialogue some leeway since it's not exactly like everyone is working on their grammar and good sentence structure when they speak.
Though, some characters (Twilight, Sunset) do tend to speak with a minimum of grammar flubs.
I loved it up until the end which was just a little weird and confusing with Sunset hitting Trixie out cold for no real apparent reason
8107158
Sunset showed up with a newspaper in case she needed it. Trixie looked like she was being smug so Sunset figured she had done something to deserve a thwacking.
She was not wrong.
8106987
Really? Because out of all the episodes I've seen them together I never once heard them call each other friends or saw them even be friendly with each other. And being friends with Starlight doesn't count. Didn't work for Pinkie in Maud Pie, won't work there.
You know what Spike should do? Carrying his Super Hero In Training box around Ponyville.
Great stuff! Lots of laughs per square inch!
A couple of corrections:
“Several, clinically insane, ponies, actually,”
No pauses needed. Should be
“Several clinically insane ponies, actually,”
she cried in a distress tone.
distressed
Oh my *buy some apples*, I haven't laughed that hard at a fanfic since the likes of APD:AP, No, I am NOT a brony, and of course the first few chapters of The Hat Man's The Iron Horse. Masterful work, good sir!
*10 minutes later* Oh sh
t, this is Canon to S7, isn't it? Oh well...
8107701
Got these! Thanks,
This got very weird, very fast. Me likey
Quick typo:
(Should be "wandered".)
What I would give for this to be Episode 2 1/2 for Season 7!
Also, exactly who was stung by the bees? My guess is Spoiled Rich, but I can't be certain.
Finally,
I'm debating over which was a more awkward suggestion: this, or George suggesting that Elaine move in with his parents [from "Seinfeld"].
8108351 RUN AWAY!
*Throws sand in the eyes*
8108883 I think pocket glitter is MUCH better, as it will never go away it's GLITTER
Can't post coherent review. Still giggling too hard.
So thanks for that.
Busting a god damn GUT here this is GREAT!
You have a great touch on comedy!
Think you could use a question mark on that, "The End". Because they will be back!
Good and funny story.
8106004 Does Sunset REALLY need a reason to knock Trixie out?
Before reading this, I am assuming this is leading up to a "Talk 'em Powder" joke.
So does Sunset now go "Oh for Mom's sake"? I can just imagine that happening here:
Sunset merely facehooved, "Oh for Mom's sake."
Sunset? I wasn't expecting you to be here!
8121986
I've written Sunset in other things where she does tend to go "Sweet mother of me," and what have you.
To be honest, I was asking myself "what the buck is happening?" all the way through.
It was still a good fic though.
...Okay, I confess the 'pinkie pie clone thing' kinda came out of nowhere, but, um...
Other then that? Hilarious. (Also, personally, I don't think the 'Pinkie pie clone' thing was...TOO bad. Other then the crazy test at the end instead of using the simple fact that only one of them has a WORKING BRAIN? It was made rather clear that the pinkie clones weren't really...um...sentient, in a real sense. Verified by Word of God.)
Hillarious. Especially this bitg:
Do I detect that Sunset will have to come back with the newspaper after the latest episode?
8177771
Which episode in particular? Thanks to Canada, I'm entirely sure which "latest" is and I might be one to three episodes behind.Nevermind. I still need to watch the episode in question, but...
Damnit, Glim-glam.
I'll watch and see if how it unfolds raises mine and Sunset's ire... and newspaper.
8177771
Watched it. Oddly enough, I bare very little episode related animosity to
Pouchie the Rockin' DogGlim-Glam. That being said, there is a crazy wealth of Sunset related shenanigans to go off here and this will likely bridge gaps between a few fics to make for a somewhat larger project than Sunset showing up and solving problems with her magic newspaper swats.8180714 The princesses were a lot more in the wrong than Glim-Glam. I could never imagine Sunset hitting the princesses with a newspaper... until I read your stuff.
I am all about more sunset shenanigans
That reminds me of the joke on https://www.fimfiction.net/story/365305/1/glimmer-can-i-ass-you-a-question/getting-to-the-bottom-of-this-issue.

They definitely need to get a good thwacking.
8203185
Yes! More for the win!
8215107
Hah. I can’t recall if I wrote any bits of the fic you linked, but TOM definitely consulted with me for parts when he wrote it.
8215207
No wonder it’s so good XD.
8180714
Three questions. Is there a follow up to this? Are there any recent Sunset Newspaper fics besides the fic before this and the Starswirl fic that you made? And hows the Home Again and Jerkass with a Beard stories coming along? Your AngrySunsetVerse fics are the most enjoyable Sunset Fics I've come across.
I get the impression that The Great and Powerful Trixie understands the importance of PocketSandTM!
It's not easy being Trixie.
It’s at this moment I realized she was talking to the BEES, Which made it WAY more funny
I can't believe I missed this one! Bad me, for this is hilarious!
