//------------------------------// // Remeeting with Twilight // Story: Lauren's Wonderland // by Hazel_Hester777 //------------------------------// “Come on, Miss Lauren, it’s not far from here!” Nyx said as she trotted ahead of Lauren, full of energy. “That’s what you said ten minutes ago” Lauren whined. “But I’m sure about it this time. Look! Her Castle’s right over there!” Nyx then pointed to the Castle right ahead. Lauren almost fainted. No, not from being tired. But because she couldn’t believe she was actually in Ponyville or the fact that she was now standing infront of Twilight’s Castle. She took deep breaths as she walked on the stairs that lead to the door. “Mom! I’m home! I brought somepony here who needs help!” Nyx called out as she knocked on the door. Instead of Twilight, the door was opened by Spike, who seemed all the more annoyed rather than happy. “Hello Nyx. Who do we have here?” “This is Miss Lauren, I found her while I, Screwball, Candy Burn, Catherine, and Dreamcatcher went swimming. Why are you so upset today, big brother?” “Because Twilight just dropped her fan which she was supposed to give to the Queen! Now, if she doesn’t find a new one soon, she’s dead! And I mean Limbo Dead!” Nyx and Lauren gasped. “That sounds awful” “That’s because it is! I’m cranky because I can’t even eat a single gem without finding a new fan! I need to find one before she comes home!” “Maybe I can help?” Lauren suggested. “Why not? We’re gonna be late! Come inside and help me find a new Golden Ruby Fan!” Spike let them in. “Why does mom need it?” Nyx asked. “Because it contains a special property that whoever fans themselves with it will shrink” Spike said before going off to find it. That would explain how I got so small again, Lauren thought as she helped them look around. ________________________________________ Spike was already frustrated with himself as he searched the Throne Room. Nyx was about to give up hope while searching in the Hallways. Lauren was blaming herself as she searched the Archive Room. She found various other duplicates, and sometimes triplicates, of various items inside. As she felt that it was pointless, she finally found another fan similar to the one Twilight dropped. She was about to call Spike and Nyx when she found a box that had 3 symbols on it: a snowdrop flower, Twilight’s cutie mark, and what looked like two hooves holding a ball of molding clay and pencil. Curiosity got the better of her again and she opened the box. Inside, she found bottles of the same vial of potion from before, but minus the tag. Taking her chances, she drank a sip from one. She regretted it when it caused her to grow again. “Any luck, Nyx?” Spike asked upon meeting with the filly. “Nope, have you seen Lauren?” saying so, they went to find the girl. “Lauren, are you in there?” Nyx knocked on the door of the Archive Room. Spike opened the door, only to find that Lauren’s leg had blocked it. Both the dragon and the filly screamed. “Nyx, get help!” Spike said before the filly ran off to go get help. “Lauren, it’s Spike, are you okay?” he said to Lauren, worriedly. “Partly cramped, and my arm is basically sticking out of a window, but otherwise fine” “Don’t worry, Nyx went to go get help. What happened anyway?” “I was looking for the fan and I found this box with these three symbols and bottle inside. I got curious to see what they would do so I took a sip from one. I’m really sorry” “No worries. I was meaning to put a label on that anyway” Spike hid his annoyance. “Mom’s on her way! But in the meantime, I had to get some closer help” Nyx entered the room, panting from running. “What do you mean by closer help?” Spike furrowed a brow. In a spilt second, they heard the familiar sound of a certain rainbow-maned pony’s dash. From that point, who else could they have thought of? “You called Rainbow Dash” Spike facepalmed. “Yeah, why?” “Don’t worry, I got this!” the cyan mare said before running down by the chimney that led inside the Archive Room. Lauren let out a sneeze that caused the Pegasus to fly right out of the chimney again. “That’s why” Spike was deadpanned. “I came as soon as I heard, Spike and Nyx. Where is she?” Twilight’s voice rang out as she entered the room. “Stuck in the Archive Room” Nyx said. “Lauren, I have what should take that growth thing away. Eat this cake, it’ll make you shrink again” Twilight said as she made a piece of cake appear infront of Lauren. Lauren grabbed it with her mouth and ate it. All of the sudden, she began to shrink again, until she was merely three inches in height. “Oops! Too much Snowdrop tears!” Twilight said in embarrassment. “Well, atleast it’s better that being cramped in there” “Did you find the fan?” Spike asked. “Over there” Lauren pointed to where she left it, and Spike wasted no time getting it. “Well, you can’t go to the Queen in this size. No matter, there’s an antidote with the proper amount needed. Get on my back, I’ll take you there” Twilight allowed for Lauren to get on, and the Equestria Girl made sure to hold on tightly. “Nyx, thank you for bring her here” “Of course, mom” “Let’s go” Twilight said before trotting off with the tiny Lauren on her back. Atleast I don’t have to walk right now, Lauren thought.
