Chapter 6 - Betrayal

"Only one more trial to do." Radiant said.
"And what would that be?" Applejack asked.
"Generosity." Radiant said.
"Rarity? She's at her house right now," Applejack said, "She said she's leaving in one hour for Manehattan. You better hurry."
"Okay," Radiant said, "I must win the magic of friendship."
"I'm sure you'll do fine." Applejack said.
"I'm coming, Rarity!" Radiant said. He asked Applejack, "Can you take me over?"
"I was jus' about to offer." Applejack said.
"Either way, let's do this." Radiant said.
Applejack picked Radiant up and placed him in her mane. "Ready?" She asked.
"Yes." Radiant said.
Applejack galloped to the boutique as fast as she could. "Enjoying the wind, little one?" She asked.
"Yes." Radiant said.
"I hope I'm not running too fast." Applejack said.
"You're not," Radiant said, "Take your time."
"Ya know, I like ya," Applejack said "You ain't picky or nothin'."
"Thanks." Radiant said, he saw Carousel Boutique ahead.
"Yup. That's the building alright." AJ said, she stopped.

"So little critter, you ready to meet Rarity?" Applejack asked.
"Yes." Radiant said.
AJ knocked on the door. "Remember, be polite and be yourself." She said to Radiant.
"Yes." Radiant said.
AJ left and Rarity opened the door from the inside of the boutique. "Hello?" The beautiful goddess said. She stood over Radiant. The tiny knight smelled her perfume and her hooves were just as good smelling and delicate as her.
"Hello, Miss Rarity." Radiant said, bowing to the beauty goddess like a gentlecolt.
Rarity looked down. "Aaahhh." She was surprised.
"Rarity, at my size, you're so beautiful like a goddess..." Radiant said, blushing at the colossal beauty.
"Who are you? Or what are you?" Rarity asked, completely bypassing the micro stallion's compliment.
"I'm Radiant Sword, Twilight Sparkle's friend," Radiant said, then asked the beauty goddess, "Want to see me through the magnifying glass?"
"I think I can see you now." Rarity said, she lowered her hoof, "Climb on darling."
Radiant climbed onto the goddess' hoof, blushing still.
"Looking closer, you are a cute one." Rarity said.
"Thanks, Rarity, the Goddess of Generosity." Radiant said.
"A goddess? Well, I'll admit I am generous, but not enough to be a goddess." Rarity said, blushing.
"Every mare I've met is a goddess compared to my teeny tiny form." Radiant said.
"Oh well I guess I can claim that role then." Rarity said.

"What brings you here?" Rarity asked.
"I want to learn about Generosity." Radiant said.
"Oh. Well that's easy," Rarity said, "You can start by measuring Twilight's hoof size. She needs new leggings. And if you wish to be generous the best way to start is by taking your time to help others."
"I'll do my best," Radiant said, "Her hooves are as wide as hoofball fields compared to me."
"I'll help you darling," Rarity said "Don't worry." She smiled at Radiant.
"Thanks, Goddess Rarity." Radiant said.
"So, are you ready to help?" Rarity asked.
"Yes." Radiant said.

"Twilight, look who I have?" Rarity said.
Twilight looked at Radiant on Rarity's hoof. "Radiant Sword, is that you?" She said.
"Yes," Radiant said, "I got through the five trials out of six."
"Well that's good," Twilight said, "You're learning at a good rate too."
"Yup. I am currently on the Trial of Generosity." Radiant said.
"He said he'd help you with your hoof size fitting." Rarity said.
"Oh that would be great. Would you, Radiant?" Twilight asked.
"Yes." Radiant said.
Rarity handed Radiant a measuring tape. "Oh my, this is quite large for you." She said.
"Yeah, so enormous," Radiant said, "I guess I can just read measurements."
"How's this?" Rarity asked as she gave Radiant a string. "Wrap this around until you've made a complete 360." She said
"That'll do." Radiant said as he used magic to move one end of the string around, wrapping Twilight's hoof.
"I bet you love my hoof at this size." Twilight said.
"Yes." Radiant said.
"Hope this doesn't make you tired, darling." Rarity said.
"It didn't." Radiant said.
"Good. Would you like anything to drink?" Rarity said.
"Sure." Radiant said. He saw Rarity walk away.

"So how is it going?" Twilight asked.
"Doing good." Radiant said.
"Learning a lot?" Twilight asked with a smile.
"Yes." Radiant said.
"You are so cute like that." Twilight said.
"Of course," Radiant said, "Rarity is so beautiful when she's a goddess to me."
"And what about me?" Twilight asked, "Aren't I your first goddess?"
"Yes," Radiant said, "In fact, you and your friends are my goddesses."
"But... as you said when you met me, when you said you loved me, is that true?" Twilight asked. She began to frown.
"Not just you, Goddess Twilight, your friends as well," Radiant said, "I wanted to be loved by the Goddesses of Harmony."
"So, when you said you loved me, that didn't mean anything since you love my friends? I was happy to see you, I liked you, and you its come down to I love your friends?" Twilight asked, she grew angry.
"Twilight," Radiant said, "I didn't want to make you jealous, I wanted to let everyone know that I liked everyone no matter how small I am. Twilight, I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to spread some love to your friends..."
"You wanted to learn friendship, but instead, you wanted to insult me." Twilight said, she raised her hoof over Radiant.
"No, this is just misunderstanding!" Radiant exclaimed, "Somepony do something!" he took cover, he didn't want to make his goddess princess jealous.
"You know, I think I know what to do with you." Twilight said, "You realize that the goddess of harmony is Princess Celestia, right?"
"Yes..." Radiant cried, "You allowed me to volunteer for the shrinking spell... I wasn't looking forward to seeing you do time travel spell, because it might make history change..."
"No time travel spell, but since you love her so much and want to meet her, why not skip a trial and go there now?" Twilight said, her horn lit up. "And since you like hooves so much." She laughed evilly.
Radiant suddenly was taped to the inside of a golden hoof shoe, the same one Celestia wears.
"Rarity!!! Help!!!" Radiant exclaimed, "Twilight has betrayed me!"
"Almost forgot." Twilight said, she placed a string around Radiant's mouth so he can't talk. "Hehehe, now, if I can't love you, no one can." She cleared her throat. "I'll be back, Rarity."
