Rubbing his body, feeling it was slightly sore, but otherwise fine, the dragon began to look around at the room. He’d lived here for years, of course, finding the place to be both familiar and comforting, no matter that some of the staff saw him as Twilight’s slave/pet. This was a home to him, and he could always retreat here when things got to be their worst. Of course, right now, he was finding the normally reassuring sights of the beds, including his small basket, to be a bit intimidating to his tiny form.
“I...need...books…,” murmured the still very much asleep princess on her bed, before her fidgeting finally began to calm down, and she slowly drifted off back into more peaceful slumber. Looking up at her, he would have tried to shout some more, but given his efforts when he had been significantly larger and closer were fruitless, he doubted they would work now from his position on the floor, and much reduced.
“The things I put up with,” he said dryly, remembering some of the other things that had happened to him over the years. Luckily, he was a dragon, and not a pony, otherwise, he might have been hurt at some point in his life. As it was, however, he knew he’d just have to wait this out. Magic effected him, sure, but its effects were never permanent, and just had to fade away. Even the pumpkin head thing had done that, after a few hours, and he doubted this shrinking spell was any different.
Thinking this, he wondered idly what he should do while he waited. Going back to bed was an option, but he felt a bad one, just in case, you know? Besides, whatever magic he’d been hit with had woken him up.
He could explore the room, of course, he’d never seen it at this size, and thanks to Rarity and Fluttershy, the place was pest free, meaning he’d be left alone by just about everything. His musings, however, were cut off when he heard a series of loud booms in the distance, and then felt a wind come from downstairs.
“Hello? Twily? Spike? You okay?” asked a whispered voice, followed by loud creaks as something made its way from the door and came up the stairs to the sleeping area of the apartment. The form that rose from those stairs was huge at first, a shuddering silhouette of a titan that rippled with power as it came up to stand on the landing, Spike having to crane his neck back, and then fall on his bottom when even that wasn’t enough. Standing before him was Shining Armor, a monstrously sized stallion, who began to step towards him, his powerful hooves smacking the ground, and rocking the dragon, even as he realized he was right in the pony’s path.
"AH! SHINING WAIT!" Spike shouted looking in shock as Shining Armor's gigantic building-sized legs started stomping his way. Spike picked himself up, and started running as fast as his tiny legs would allow him. To the tiny dragon’s horror and amazement he watched as the titanic blue hoof smashed down behind him, shaking the floor beneath him. Spike stumbled, but kept his footing and continued running regardless. Of course, as he turned his head up, all he could see was another massive hoof, Shining’s left forehoof, coming right for him.
"NO! NO! NO!" Spike cried with tears streaming from his eyes as the hoof slammed down, just missing Spike's tail by an inch from his perspective. Spike felt a rush of air lift him off his feet making him crash into the floor from the force of Shining Armor's hoof. Spike quickly lifted himself up, rubbing his head trying to shake off the sudden dizziness that was probably not a concussion. His reverie was broken as Spike heard a sudden crackling sound that made him look up, and to his shock he saw the same massive hoof as last time coming his way.
"S-Shining NO!" Spike slipped trying to crawl away from the on coming hoof. Spike was covered in the hoof's huge shadow, and the dragon covered his head as he began to cry. He couldn't move in time this was it! Shining Armor's massive hoof came smashing down with a loud crash.
When the sweet taste of oblivion didn’t greet him, Spike slowly opened one eye to see he was facing the back of Shining Armor's hoof. He gasped seeing that the hoof was actually two inches away from his snout. Spike let out a loud sigh, wiping sweat from his head. Spike looked up he was right under the monstrous sized stallion Armor feeling frightened
"I gotta get his attention or,..." Spike saw Shining's leg starting to lift up. Rushing forward, Spike leapt upwards, quickly grasping ahold of the hair surrounding Shining's hoof.
Shining Armor stood over his sister's bed "Twiliy?" Shining softly spoke he shook Twilight’s shoulder gently waking her up.
"Hey Twiliy." Shining said with a calm tone the alicron lazily smiled
"Oh hi big bro." Twilight replied
"You ok? I thought I heard you screaming?" Shining asked with concern in his voice Twilight blinked lifted her head slowly she rubbed her eyes to get a few bits of sleep from them.
"Oh sorry I had a weird dream." she yawned "Sorry."
Shining laughed "It's ok Twiliy why don't you go back to sleep." Twilight nodded and relaxed back on her pillow and closed her eyes. Shining Armor used his magic to cover Twilight up in her blanket "Night Twiliy." Shining Armor placed his hoof on her head, and rubbed her mane and then leaned down and gave her a kiss on the head.
Spike felt a strong rush of wind going against him as Shining's leg moved up and down and back and forth. The tiny dragon's stomach was flipping around when all of a sudden the hoof stopped and panted on the soft bed sheet.
"TWILIY!" Shining Armor's soft voice echoed loudly in the baby dragon's ears "OH HI BRO!" Twilight's new massive voice echoed along with Shining's even if they spoke softly it was still a loud echo to Spike, Spike held on tight as the hoof moved up Spike looked down to see he was heading right for Twilight's mane Spike was met with many soft and ticklish hairs as the hoof moved around on Twilight's mane Spike took the opportunity and leaped off the hoof and landed on soft lock of hair the blue hoof lifted up out of view "Feeew!" Spike sighed only to have his eyes grow bigger in shock seeing Shining Armor's muzzle coming down and Shining's now puckered lips.
"OH! You gotta be kidding!" Spike roared as he slipped off the lock and tried to avoid the massive lips only to be pressed down by the locks of Twilight's hair and Shining Armor's lips "YUCK! YUCK!" Spike growled thankfully the kiss ended and Spike could only hear the sounds of stomping hooves and a echoing door close.
