There appears to be a giant teapot in front of Twilight's castle.

There appears to be a Great and Powerful Trixie in front of Twilight's castle.

These two things might be connected.

Trixie, Trixie...(sigh) Don't ever change...

The Beauty of a Pun is in the Oi of the Beerholder.

That was laugh-out-loud funny. Thank you.

We all know that ponies go well with trains. Turns out Fizzlepop goes well with tanks!

(This was a really funny little story; everypony is nicely in character, and the silliness flows so smoothly!)

"NOW what?" snapped Starlight as there was a rapid tapping at her School Counselor's Door (open 8-5 weekdays, please don't nibble on the potted plant).

"It's not my fault!" proclaimed Trixie. "Well, maybe a little tiny bit, but the vast majority of blame can be placed squarely on Sparkle. And Fizzlepop."

Rather than spend the next hour pulling the information out of Trixie one fib at a time, Starlight Glimmer stormed out to the front door of the castle and stopped absolutely cold at what she saw.

"See!" declared Trixie at her side. "Not my fault at all. Not tea-related crockery so obviously somebody else's fault, most probably the two unicorns inside who did this and not me."

"It's... a giant ceramic chicken," murmured Starlight under her breath, looking the gigantic thing up and down from painted feet to beak.

"Can somepony get us out of here," came a voice from inside. "Without a sledgehammer, please. I don't want to damage the mint quality of the howitzer."

"Technically, it's only near mint," came another voice from inside the giant ceramic rooster. "It's been driven."

"Oh, good point," said the first voice again. "I wonder what kind of packaging we can work up to keep it as a collector's item. Storm King limited edition, after all, despite what happened with the Easily Forgettable Pun-Based Magical Feedback Device that I was carrying just now."

"She didn't," muttered Starlight.

"She most certainly did," said Trixie. "Nerds in a bird."

They went for a tank and ended up with a cock up? :trixieshiftright:

Its only because the high alumina ceramic of teacups is extremely brittle, that the multiple times strength and hardness material isnt used for armor. Unlike Boron Carbide ceramic trauma plates in infantry chest plates and the pure alumina sapphire sheets used in better armoured window glass?

Watch a video where AK47 rounds bounce off inch thick sapphire glass without leaving a scratch.:trixieshiftleft:

for no better reason than it amuses me

Definitely a good reason, then.

Trixie getting better at magic has got to be one of the scariest feelings for those that know her.

Thanks for the laughs!

"Hm. Tricky," Twilight said.

"That's 'Trixie.'"

Perfection.

It was fun. It was a little silly. So it was very Trixy story. So it is good.

Awesome!

(And now this idea for an utter crackfic bounces in my brain, involving Berry Fizzlepop, who - following a very minor accident with the mirror-pool - discovers a deep yearning for the peace and quiet that this ceramic enclosure provided, only to encounter some rather unexpected competition for its ownership.

I'll call it "Two Tempests, One Teapot")

(I'm sorry)

Twilight, yes, Princess of Nerds right there. Tempest, though? More of a jock. Luckily the EFPBMFD could manage two birds with one pun.

Trixie will ultimately be blamed for this fowl-up.

FTL

Cranked this out in about an hour, for no better reason than it amuses me.

As if any other reason is required! :pinkiehappy:

Ah, yes! The old "Trixie did it" premise. Will she ever be able to outlive her teacup fiasco? Then again, isn't Trixie a walking fiasco herself?
I may never be a Trixie fan, but she does provide a level of humor. This may have been an idle bit of silliness on the author's part, yet I got a few chuckles at it. Of course, the premise of Tempest bringing a tank to Ponyville has its own kind of humor...

:rainbowlaugh: :facehoof: :trixieshiftright:

11775024 In order to outlive her fiascoes, Trixie must first (a) stop having them, and (b) acknowledge the reason they keep happening.

Love the ending. Given her brother, Twilight would nerd out over the latest in military hardware. Heck, Fizzlepop may be sad to learn he's already taken. Lovely madness between former Sparkle nemeses (even if Trixie's iffy on the "former" part.) Thank you for it.

Trixie never met a tank she couldn’t teapot

True enough, but Trixie is the type to never acknowledge her mistakes. I mean, the show must go on, right?

Nice and funny fic with a great characterisation and frustration. I greatly enjoyed reading it :twilightsmile:

11775139 No, no. Trixie is quite willing to admit she was wrong... when no other alternative presents itself.

Ah, a nice story. I would like to see this animated.
An another episode from G4 to watch.

This is a Discord level of weird and I love it.

Now that was funny!!

I think an ending where Tempest smacks the Hell out of Trixie for that stunt would've been the icing on the cake, but still, this was a good and funny story to start the new year.

I'm in full agreement with both statements.

Lol. Puns

Well, it's mixed... teabag

She at least demonstrated that she isn't useless in combat
