The girls make their way back to their cabins with the stuff that the man had given them for Twilight and Sunset. They all headed into Twilight and Sunsets cabin so that they could set up the consoles and board games and set the books aside for when and if they decide to do some reading.

Inside the cabin, Applejack and Rainbow are setting up the console on a table near the TV, while Fluttershy and Pinkie are setting up some of the board games on the bed. Rarity set the books over on the bedside tables, so they could be in easy reach for Sunset and Twilight.

After a few minutes, everything was all set up. All the girls relax a bit, as now entertainments for Twilight and Sunset are sorted for a decent amount of time. Sunset then spoke up.

"Thanks for your help girls. We should be fine here until dinner. You girls should go have some fun with everything else the ship has to offer." said Sunset.

"Actually darling, the girls and I were talking a little while before our meeting with our generous gentleman, and we decided to stay with you and Twilight. We're friends and friends stick together, no matter what," said Rarity. Both Twilight and Sunset were surprised and this revelation.

"Are you sure about this? We don't want to cause you to miss any interesting opportunities available on the cruise," asked Twilight.

"We're positive. All this stuff looks really cool and interesting. I hope that there are some Daring Do books in that stack." said Rainbow.

"Well, if your certain, let's get comfortable and have some fun with this stuff. We'll just need to keep track of the time so that we don't miss dinner," said Sunset.

The time seemed to fly by the girls like dust on the wind. Sunset and Rainbow played many of the video games that were available on the consoles, Twilight and Fluttershy read some of the books, and Rarity and Applejack passed the time with the board games. All the girls swapped around to whatever they wanted to do when they wanted to do something different. After a while, Sunset asked:

"Hey, what's the time?" she asked the others.

"Almost time for dinner. We should freshen up and head to the dining area, darlings," said Rarity.

"I concur. We'll keep going with this stuff after we have a good feed. See you guys in a few minutes." Said Rainbow.

"Likewise," said Applejack.

A few minutes later, with Fluttershy and Rarity helping Twilight and Sunset freshen up and get changed, all the girls met in the hallway and made their way to the dining area. once there, they found a booth and ordered their desired meals and beverages. Sunset and Twilight are still hoping that they'll turn back to normal soon and away from a large group of people, excluding the other Rainbooms.

After a couple of hours, the girls have had their fill for the night and head back to Sunset and Twilights cabin to pick up where they left off hours earlier. Sunset decided to do some reading, while AJ and RD decided to be their usual competitive selves with the video games. Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy chose to play another one of the board games.

Eventually, all the girls started to show signs of fatigue, letting out yawns and feeling sluggish. The other girls said good night to Sunset and Twilight and went to their respective cabins. Rarity and Fluttershy stayed back for a few minutes to help Twilight and Sunset change into their PJs, before retiring to their cabins.

"Well, this was a good day after the mess we've been through," said Sunset.

"Yeah. That Gentleman made good on his promise to help us make some good memories before the cruise arrived back at port," said Twilight.

"Yep. But still, let's hope that this magic wears off soon. I really don't want to leave the ship in this state." said Sunset.

"Me too. But until that happens. we have to make the best of the situation. Anyways, we should get to sleep. We've got another day ahead of us tomorrow. Night Sunset." said Twilight, taking off her glasses and resting them on the bedside table.

"Night Twilight," replied Sunset, as they both laid down and drifted off to sleep.





A few hours later, Sunset and twilight are still sleeping soundly, when a magical aura surrounds them. Slowly, but surely, both girls start to grow back to their normal size. As the girls are sleeping so soundly, they can't feel the effects, but they will be pleasantly surprised in the morning.

Eventually, the sun started to rise over the expanse of the ocean. As the sun peeked into Sunset and Twilights room, Twilight was roused from her slumber. She reached over to the bedside table and fumbled around for her glasses before grabbing them and putting them on. She then stretched out and swung her legs over the edge of the bed to the floor.

"Huh. I can feel the carpet on my feet. WAIT! I can feel the carpet on my feet." she thought. She looked down and saw her feet on the floor. to be sure she wasn't seeing things, she looked over into the mirror and saw that she was back to her normal size. She turned to Sunset and shook her gently, trying to rouse her from sleep.

"Sunset, wake up. The magic has worn off. We're back to normal." she said excitedly.

Sunset eventually is roused from her slumber, but she isn't really listening to what Twilight is saying. She sat up and stretched out and trying to rub the tiredness out of her eyes. She then noticed Twilight shaking giddily.

"Twilight? What's got you so excited?" she asked.

"Sunset! The magic has worn off. We've changed back to normal. Look in the mirror. See for yourself." Twilight said happily.

Sunset looked over into the mirror and saw that both Twilight and she were normal-sized again. She let out a big sigh of relief.

"Finally. I was starting to worry that we wouldn't change back before we got back home," said Sunset.

"Me too. Although I'll admit, it was an interesting experience being toddler-sized, as weird as that may sound," replied Twilight.

"No, that doesn't sound weird to me. I found the experience interesting as well, but I prefer to be teenager-sized cause it cases less hassle for us" said Sunset.

"Well, what should we do with all the stuff the man gave us yesterday. He said that we could keep it, but we really don't have any use for it anymore," said Twilight

"You're right about that Twilight, but I think we should keep them as mementos. This was an experience we won't forget soon, but it wasn't an entirely bad experience. This stuff gave us some good memories and if we keep this stuff, we can relive the memories once we get back home." Sunset replied.

"Yeah. That's a great idea Sunset. Now come on, we still have a few days lefts on this cruise, and now that we're back to normal, we can do a lot more stuff now. So let's freshen up and enjoy the rest of the cruise." Twilight said proudly.

"Yeah. Let's enjoy the rest of the cruise and enjoy what's on offer," replied Sunset

After freshening up, Twilight and Sunset met up with the other members of the Rainbooms, who were just as excited that they had changed back to normal. The group then went off to enjoy what the cruise had on offer without any further magical interruptions.





A few minutes later, Twilight and Sunset made their way outside into the hallway, waiting for the rest of the Rainbooms. Eventually, the other girls made their way out of their cabins and noticed Twilight and Sunset standing off to the side of the hallway, both of them being normal-sized again. All of the others were both happy and relieved that the two had finally changed back to normal.

"Hey Sunny and Twi, you've finally turned back to normal," Rainbow said excitedly.

Yeah, finally. We noticed that we were back to normal when we woke up. The magic must've worn off during the night. Anyway, it feels good to be full-sized teens again." said Sunset.

"Well, it's good that everything is normal again darlings, but what are you going to do with all the stuff that that gentleman gave you yesterday?" asked Rarity.

"Sunset and I have decided to keep them as mementos. This was an interesting experience, which we won't forget anytime soon, but to tell you guys the truth, we both found it rather relaxing, as weird as that may sound." Twilight replied.

"No, that doesn't sound weird at all, but it is not something I would like to experience first hand. It would just be a bit too daunting for me and possibly the rest of us," said Fluttershy.

"I have to agree with Fluttershy Sugarcubes. It doesn't sound weird to find something like that relaxin, but I'd rather stay normal-sized," said Applejack.

"Anyway enough talk, we've still got a few days before we arrive back home. So let's take advantage of what the cruise has to offer," said Sunset.

"Yeah. Let's go." the girls all replied before having a group high five. There's still a lot of stuff to do and see on the cruise and the girls intend to take the opportunity to see as much of it as possible.

And with that, the Rainbooms enjoyed the rest of the cruise to have some fun.

The End
