Tales from Tinies.

by MrAquino


A Knight in Shining Armor

“Hiyaa!” a young boy ran through the his yard, his sneakers crunching the yellow and orange leaves under his shoes and kicking a few out of his way, causing them to flutter in the gentle wind. His bright red cape flapped along his back, like a flag in a mad wind. The energetic boy wore a plastic, but metallic looking, knight helmet that had a circular dom, but a dull point to it. He was armed with a foam sword and the lid of a trash can for his shield. In his mind, he saw himself as a noble Knight battling against an army of skeletons as he headed to face the evil wizard… which was a teddy bear.

He quickly ducked behind a makeshift fort, made from the trash can of his same shield, and a stack of gathered sticks and tree limbs. In his mind, the wizard shot a blasting bolt of lightning from his hand… or plushy light brown stub he stood over his fort the calm wind making his cap flap “Hear me, evil wizard Gandumber! You shall pay for your evil ways!”

“Never, Cody the courageous!” The wizard crackled.

“Then by his majesty himself, King Optimus Prime, you will fall in battle!”

“It is you who will fall! My spell will send you away!”

“You are but delaying your end! I will stop your reign of evil, and I-” he stopped as he noticed himself glowing. Snapping out of his world, he saw himself glowing, as the news has warned about people disappearing.

“W-What’s going on? W-ha,... Mom! There’s,...” Cody had to quickly close his eyes as the glow around him suddenly got brighter and brighter. He had to cover his eyes cause the light was actually getting through his eyelids.

“What’s going on?” He whispered as he felt a huge gust of wind. It was a breeze, and then become a heavy gust that felt like he was being pushed and pulled until finally, Cody was lifted right off his feet. He soon regained his eyesight and gasped at where he had landed: he had landed next to some Boulders, but all around him were horses? And not just those from the barns he visited before, but they were ginormous! Each one was literally colorful, with colors not associated with horses, and manes that were stylised, much like a humans. Cody felt confused, but at the same time, very curious to what kind of place, or world, that he just dropped into.

“Wow… hey mom! Dad! Alice! Come look at this!” Cody turned not to see his house nowhere in sight, not his mother, father, or his big sister. Cody took off his helmet, showing his dark brown hair. He gulped nervously “M-Mom?” Cody did a one eighty, looking left and right looking everywhere.

“Dad?” His voice squeaked, he was beginning to shiver and his eyes were getting wet, seeing nothing but the giants around him.

“A-Alice?” He blinked. White, silver, slender streams went down his cheeks. He sniffed, flopping down onto the ground, he hid his face in his knees then covered the rest with his arms, he sobbed loudly drenching his pant legs with fresh tears.

“Ooh! A tiny!” A raspy woman's voice spoke. Cody looked up and gasped as one of the giant horses was just inches from him. The coat was cyan and it's Mane was a rainbow.
“W-Who?” Cody’s jaw dropped in shock as the mare smiled down at him. It's tongue stuck right out and it gave him a slobbering lick across his face. Cody fell back,landing on his back, trying to wipe off the sticky drool drenching him. He grabbed his foam sword and pointed it at the giant.

“Y-You stay away!” Cody’s voice cracked trying to back away. The mare only chuckled.

“Alright, squirt. I'll give you a head start. Or you can stay if you want; I had a busy day, and you're really tasty.” He quickly figured that this horse was going to eat him. He acted fast and sprinted away from her.

Cody didn’t know where to hide from the crazy horse;he looked back seeing her smiling as he ran… then he saw wings? The horse had wings. Was it a pegasus? Cody rubbed his head, trying to think as he ran. Didn’t pegasuses fight giant sea monsters? He screamed as he saw the horse fly into the sky and fell down like a missile… straight for him.

“No! No! No!” Cody yelled, quickly making another turn, just missing the gigantic pegasus’s snapping mouth, just a mere inches from his cap getting snatched up by the clanging teeth. It skidded across the floor, but regained its posture and chased after him on it's hooves!

Cody screamed in fear, tears dripping from his eyes. He had to find out how to lose the giant Pegasus! He saw the other giant horses ahead of him and quickly made his way towards two horses; a lime green one that had… a horn? And a light yellow one with a blue and pink streak in its mane and tail. He looked behind him to see the pegasus right over him, ready to pounce on him like a cat. He looked away and ran right for the two horses. He ran right for the yellow one’s back legs, running under her and then the green one’s. The green horse gaped with a huge smile on her face

“A-A human!” She squeaked, but before she could turn to see the tiny that just ran under her, they were tackled and all three fell to the ground in big dust cloud. Cody stopped and took deep breaths, seeing the pile of groaning ponies.The rainbow one shook its head and looked straight at him.

“Stay right there, cheater!” It struggled to get out of the pile. Cody ran away and into a building nearby.

“No! Don’t hurt that little cutie!” The green one quickly grabbed her and dragged her down.

“Wh-Wha,... Lyra LET GO!”

“Let him go,” the yellow one added. “He's just a kid. You should know that by now.”

“He was so cute!” Lyra added. “I just wanna snuggle with him instead of eating him!”

Cody rested on the side of the wall inside. What type of horse would want to eat him!? He pressed himself into the wall and slid down, sitting and resting on the wall. He had to catch his breath; that crazy rainbow one almost got him, and he didn’t want to stick around to find out if the other had her same interest. Cody stood back up, dusting off his pants and shirt, and looked around the area. A few of the giants were inside, but they were eating, thankfully, not people, but cakes, muffins, and all kinds of deserts. Cody’s little stomach growled as he smelled the air, it made his mouth water. All he had this morning was some chicken nuggets, and that chase left him hungrier than before.

Cody carefully made his way to the first table, not wanting the giants to see him and, well… eat him. He snuck around the wall and saw the baked goods on display on the counter. And it was far away... well, to him it was at his height. He needed help, but he didn't want to directly ask the giants for it. His answer came as the floor shook and bouncing in was a pink one that had a Mane and tail that looked like cotton candy.

Cody saw the giant pink one heading right for him. Thankfully, it didn’t see him, but it's bouncing hooves were stomping right over to him! Cody yippee, quickly leaping out of the way, missing being bounced on.

“That was too close.” he gasped. To his surprise, he saw more giants coming this way, a group of ponies in many colors, all of them with loud, stomping hooves, ready to crush him! Cody got up, seeing a bright white one with a curled, dark blue hair due. He dashed left and then right missing the clopping hooves that made a loud. Booming! Sound with every step it took. Cody was then brushed by it's tail, knocking him over. He looked up again, seeing an orange one with light blonde hair, wearing a,.... Cowboy hat? Stomping right for him. He rolled right in between it, missing all the hooves, but some of it's tail hairs got a lock on him and dragged the boy away.

“Whooooa!?” Cody yelled as he pulled and tugged, trying to get free. Unfortunately, he was pulled in, seemingly disappearing to the naked eye. Cody found himself tangled in blond, thick hairs that tied around him like a rope, he had to think of a way to get loose. He tried to use his sword, but only found it to be tangled as well. He pulled, snapping a bit of the strains that held his right arm. One by one, Cody snapped the hairs and was free from his hairy situation.

Cody flopped to the floor. He didn’t hesitate to run as fast as he could, right under one of the tables and hid behind the long wooden leg, watching the ponies walk. He saw the first two, the white one and the yellow one. He saw another come in, and it was another peg uses, only it was light yellow, and had a pink mane and tail. On it's back, he saw other kids riding it, showing no fear at all.

He blinked a few times, confused to what he saw. Were these giant nice? Or is it different for each one? Cody felt nervous and uneasy; he rubbed his hands in a worried motion. He saw that there were more ponies coming in, forming a line. Maybe it was lunch rush? Or a desert rush? Cody’s stomach growled again; the smell was getting to him he looked up at the chair. He had to find a way to get to the yummy smelling food and avoid being crushed, or eaten. He gave a loud inhale and looked up at the chair. He was a fearless Knight, and this chair was the obstacle he needed to climb to storm the castle. With his strength, he climbed up the chair, hoping to rescue the Princess of sweets herself. Cody scaled the wooden leg of the chair. He wiped away his sweat; he’d climbed trees before, but never a chair bigger than a tree, but he was determined and wouldn't stop. In what felt like an hour, he scaled to the seat of the chair. He wiped his forehead again; all he had to do now was climb tablecloth. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Cody felt the tremor under him making him lose his footing and fall into the center of the seat. Before Cody could even see or ask what was going on, he felt a jolt of movement on the chair. He looked up to see a gigantic red horse towering over him.

“Save our seats, Big Mac!” Cody heard the voice of the orange one.

“Eeyup.” The gigantic red one replied.This got complicated. Cody wasn't sure if it'd work, but he was going to climb on the giant. Hopefully, he won't be felt. Cody jumped when the red stallion suddenly turned around and his rear now casting a shadow over the chair Cody yelled looking around for a place to run. Unfortunately, it seemed the best place was… in it's butt crack. Cody wished that no one was going to see this, and he wouldn't have to tell. He watched in horror as the gigantic red butt came down! He was smooshed in between it's cheeks, the pudgy cheeks pressed down on him then squished together holding the boy in place, his arms and head sticking out.

“This is not what I would have expected to happen to me today.” Cody managed to say with his smushed face being pressed by the gigantic cheeks. Cody felt what seemed like a tremor he could hear the stallion grumble he started moving in his seat the two enormous cheeks smothered Cody, squeezing him further into the crack. Cody tried to climb out only going further in, the titanic cheeks squeezed him tight, Cody grimaced hoping this stop soon. The tremors stopped the stallion must have got comfortable unfortunately Cody wasn’t. He pushed on the two pudgy walls pushing himself forward to the light hopefully to escape from the cheeky prison. With his free arms, he push himself out of the hairy, and smelly, prison, and looked at it's back.

“Hmm… I can try climbing up his back. I’m so small, he probably won’t notice.” with a deep breath, he grabbed onto it's hairy back and began to climb his way to the top. Cody scaled his way up to the giant’s front foreleg and stopped on his shoulder, where he had to catch his breath. Cody looked down, seeing the table. He felt the muscles of the red giant moving under him as he saw it grab a menu from the table. How did it grab that without fingers? That wasn't answered as the stallion turned it's head… knocking Cody off. He expected himself to free fall to the floor, but instead, he landed on something so soft and fluffy. Cody blinked where was he now? All he could see was pink.

“Hiyaa, Macy!” an energetic voice bounced him. “The usual?”

“Eeyup.” the red giant replied to the pink giant. Cody, surfactant now, realizing he was in the pink pony’s fluffy tail. He sighed with relief, actually hugging the cotton candy-like hair, happy that he had a very soft landing. Unfortunately, he braced as the giant he was on bounced away into the kitchen.

“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!” Cody felt the force and the momentum of every bounce, he was starting to become seasick,... Or hair sick. He buried himself in the fluffy hair, hugging it tight like he did his teddy bear when he always felt sick. The bouncing mare had grabbed a tray of chocolate chip muffins from the oven and slid the tray into a glass case, Cody surfaced again; he saw he was in a kitchen of some kind and saw he was bouncing towards the case. His target was the double chocolate chip muffins. The mare stopped it's bouncing and froze as its nose began to tickle.

“A-A-A-CHOO!!!” It sneezed. Cody was flung out of the tail and, miraculously, landed on one of the muffins. He quickly took a handful and hid behind the muffin, eating his prize. Cody smiled wiping the chocolate from his lips and grabbed another bit of chocolate and quickly eating it, he let out a little burp, sitting back and resting beside a chocolate chip that was like a bolder. Unfortunately, the chocolate chip he was on melted, and the muffin was picked up and placed inside a box, with Cody in it.

-------------

Twilight Sparkle came into Sugarcube Corner with some of her friends. She saw Rainbow Dash looking for any tiny to eat, but was focused on a specific one that got away.

“Rrrrr where is he!?” Rainbow Dash growled, searching for Cody.

“Just let it go.” Bon Bon spoke on the side. “There's plenty of fish in the sea… or tinies to eat, in your case.”

“Typical Rainbow Dash.” Twilight rolled her eyes, entering the bakery. She smiled, seeing Applejack, Rarity and Big Mac sharing a table “Hey guys.”

“Howdy, Twi.” Applejack greeted, her muzzle half covered in chocolate by a round donut with chocolate fillings.

“Hello, darling.” Rarity added, sipping some tea.

“Eeyup.” Big mac nodded his head turning his attention to his sister. “Uhh AJ?”

“... Oh shoot! Was Claire in there!?” Applejack asked, poking her own belly.

“Nope.” Big Mac pointed to his muzzle.

“Hmm?... Oh… hehe.” Applejack wiped her muzzle with her hoof.

“How's your visit with your brother and his family?” Rarity asked. “No doubt Flurry Heart’s a bit of a… ruckus.”

“It's going just fine, actually. I just stopped by to grab some muffins for everypony.”

“Well I think you should hurry. The Mailmare’s ready for her box.”

Derpy licked her lips at the muffin on display… though she kept smacking her face onto the glass. Twilight smiled, nervously walking over to the counter. She jumped when Pinkie Pie popped up over the counter with a huge grin on her face and confetti exploding around her.

“Hiyaa, Twilight.”

“Hello Pinkie.” Twilight smiled. “Can I get a baker's dozen of muffins.”

“Sure thing~.” Pinkie spred her fore legs out and then leaped into the air, making a swan dive, and vanished behind the counter. Twilight could hear noises from behind the counter, like a goat screaming and few more things that clanged and crashed. Twilight looked over at Derpy who shrugged her shoulders looking just as confused as Twilight.
Pinkie Pie shot up like a pink cannonball landing behind the counter shaking up and down like rubber with a large bag in her right hoof.

“Here you go, Twi! That will be 12 bits, please.”

“Thanks Pinkie.” Twilight dropped a hoof ful of bits on the counter which Pinkie Pie gladly swiped.

“And just check for any tiny that may have stumbled in the box. They add more flavor, free of charge!”

“Uh… yeah, I'll keep an eye out.” Twilight walked out… and Derpy continued to try to somehow faze her way through the glass and get the muffin on display. Her mouth opened and Eric popped out, covered in saliva.
“Mom! You're running late for work!” She gasped, swallowing her son and ran out.

-----------

Cody struggled to free himself from the melted chocolate chip that quickly dried up. He didn’t know what was happening, but he could tell he was outside of the bakery since he could see the sun shining through the paper bag. He just hoped that the giants were nice to him and not wanting to eat him as the rainbow one. Cody sighed as he began to wonder one thing; Would he ever see Mom, Dad and Alice ever again? He looked up, seeing the sun through the bag, he just wanting to get out of here and go home. He felt a bit empty, and alone, as this place made him feel like nothing more but a bug. Cody was starting to look back on all the times he got into fights with his sister; he would be glad to take it all back, all those dumb arguments over her or him losing in a video game. He wished he'd take it all back. Looking up, he saw the sun being replaced with crystals.

------------------

Twilight entered her castle and arrived into the map room. Inside, Starlight, Spike, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and their daughter, Flurry Heart, looked up from a game of Uno.

“Twiliy!” Shining Armor spoke, quickly running to his little sister, giving her a big hug.

“Hey, Shining.” Twilight replied returning the hug. “I got the muffins.”

“Awe sweet!” Spike spoke. “Did you check for Tinies? Remember the last time that happened?”

“That was a one time thing, Spike. Besides, it's not like it's to going to happen again.”

“Ok but I’m checking mine just in case.” Spike reached for the bag. Twilight retracted the bag.

“Wait, Spike, let everypony decide what they want.Don’t worry there's plenty in there.”

“You already know what I want, little sis.” Shining spoke, licking his lips.

“Indeed I do.”

-----------

Cody felt like there was no gravity around. The chip he was stuck to snapped off, but landed on the muffin. He was blinded by the lights around him. They adjusted and he gasped as he was face to face with a large, white stallion with a blue Mane and tail, with a horn sticking out of it's forehead.

-----------

Twilight opened the bag, letting her guests grab a single muffin with their magic, only for Spike, he grabbed two muffins, snatching them up in his claws. Twilight gave Spike a shot of daggers that made him chuckle nervously, handing his to the giggling baby alicorn. Spike smiled at her, patting the top of her head, with her giggling in return, reaching out for Spike to give him a hug.

“Awww.” Spike picked her up and gave her a hug.

---------------

Cody watched in terror as the pony’s horn glowed, taking the muffin he was on and opening it's mouth wide. He saw the teeth, ready to grind anything, the saliva that was its anticipation, the tongue that was a huge, fat worm, and the throat, ready to take in anything, and anyone, into it's stomach, with it flexing as the horse breathed out. The uvula dangled above the abyss of the throat, and that may be his only chance of surviving… maybe.

“Oooooh no! Ohhh NOOO!” Cody yelled as he drew closer and close,r he could smell the nasty breath exhaling into him as he got even closer. He crawled to the other edge of the muffin, but stopped as it meant he'd fall down and, looking around, he saw other Giants. It was unlikely that any of them would notice him, and if they did, he was going to be the topping of another muffin.

Cody saw the stallion’s mouth coming down his GIGANTIC white teeth biting into the muffin just missing Cody’s sneaker as the giant took a chunk out of the muffin. He watched as the stallion chewed it up chocolate crumbs sticking to his muzzle, Cody shivered realizing that was going to be him, Cody saw him swallow and watched a lump appear and vanish inside the stallion’s ribcage.

Cody could only sit and watch as the stallion’s lips parted again showing his open mouth this time Cody had to make a jump and quickly, he tried crawling to the top, stopping when the stallion’s teeth clanged down on the top, trapping Cody in his bite. His life flashed before his eyes. When he first got a B on his test instead of an F making his Dad proud, When he would bake with his mom, When him and his sister would play when she babysat him.

The stallion’s mouth was dark, and all around him, even landing on him, was a mix between saliva and chocolate. Everything was warm, and all around him was the stallion’s breathing. He was frozen from fear, wanting to scream for help, but couldn't muster the strength to do it. Then everything moved like an earthquake… a slimy, living earthquake, with the sound of near deafening meshing of teeth, and the stallion’s own moans. Cody looked at the mile like tongue as it lifted him up pressing him into the roof of the mouth. He was squeezed out, flopping onto,...... a molar... he was on the stallion’s teeth and he saw the racing white boulders coming down. He jumped into the fleshy cheek, an attempt to stay out of the chaotic area, but felt the tongue entering and tying itself around him. Cody was flipped into the air, plopping back down into the slimy tongue. He held on and watched as the teeth changed, smushing the bits of the muffin into paste, the muffin mixed with saliva splashed when the giant’s teeth slammed into them again, covering Cody in muffin and drool. Cody saw a bright beam of light shine beam inside the mouth. Was it heaven? Cody only saw another bite of muffin being bit down on and then getting chewed up once again. He wanted to scream his head off, badly. Then the mashing stopped. Cody froze and looked around, breathing hard, unsure if this was over. He felt the tongue rise and he began to slide down.

“NOOOOOO!” Scrambling, Cody clawed at the tongue to escape from the throat, something he looked down, seeing the mush falling in and being accepted to the stomach. The uvula was just a few feet from him. Cody inhaled, getting ready as he slipped further near the throat, now seeing the dark tunnel below him. He bent his legs and jumped!

Cody reached out his arms, grabbing onto the squishy uvula that swung back and forth, almost knocking him off. He held on with all his strength, but the stallion began to hiccup. Each hiccup made the place bounce, and each bounce made Cody lose his grip. Cody squeezed tight, making sure he wouldn’t be shaken loose; the uvula was his only chance. He felt the quaking stop. He sighed loudly with relief, looking down into the cavernous, black tunnel. He could only imagine how many poor people might have fallen down there? Cody climbed up, squishing the uvula, now holding on to it with his legs and arms.

“Oh. I hope he doesn’t throw up.” Cody stared down the throat again, feeling the hot air blow into him making him hide his face into the squishy organ. The mouth opened up again. A tsunami of warm tea entered, drenching Cody in it. He felt his grip loosen and, with a shriek, he released and fell down with the liquid.

-----------------

Shining Armor chomped down on the muffin chewing it up joyfully and gave a loud swallow. He licked his lips and paused. His mouth opened, letting out a loud hiccup. He covered his mouth with his hoof, he hiccuped again and again.

“Shining,” Cadence spoke. “You know better than to eat fast. Drink some tea, it should help.”

Shining nodded, grabbing the cup of tea with his hoof, bringing it up to his lips, opening his mouth and taking a drink. He gulped down the tea, licking his lips and sighed, happily.

“Ah much better.” Shining rested back in his chair and rubbed his belly,feeling it gurgle, but not in a hungry way. He opened his mouth and burped.

“SHINING!!!”

“What!? I only do that when I eat tinies.” he rubbed his belly. “Or corn dogs”


----------------

Cody whimpered and struggled as he felt himself gripped by flesh all over him, taking him to his final destination. Cody felt the pressure of the tight flesh open. He looked down, seeing a fleshy chamber below him. Cody tried to turn, clung, and crawled, trying not to drop down to where he knew he was going.

“Please… no-no, Mr. Pony,...” Cody’s grip slipped and found himself falling, hitting a slimy wall that he slide down on, like a water slide. He tried to climb, or hold himself from falling in the pool of acids below, seeing that, despite it being dark, plenty of chocolate chip islands began to sink and liquify. Cody yelled, now free falling and splashed into the pool. He quickly surfaced and failed around, panicking as the idea of drowning and being digested at the same time took hold. He could feel everything shake tighten up as the pony let out a loud burp. Cody cupped his hands over his ears as the loud burp made the slimy walls jiggle and shake. He felt the air lift him up and drop him back down into the gross slime of the stallion’s stomach juices. Cody clung to the fleshy side of the pool he climbed up onto the pink, wet beach. He coughed wiping the slime off his arms and face.

“Yuck!” Cody crawled over to the stomach walls. He sat against it, huddled into the soft walls, feeling defeated and broken. Cody could only feel some bit of comfort with hugging into the squishy walls, feeling the walls react to him and giving a hug/massage. Cody could hear the soft sounds of the stallion breathing and his booming heart beat that echoed everywhere, almost relaxing him… almost. Cody closed his eyes; he wanted nothing more than to be back home. He opened them, looking at his prison/new home, seeing how it looked peaceful. His eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and he saw that nothing on him was harmed; there was no sense of burning, was he safe? Cody could feel relief come over him; maybe he was going to survive after all. He could feel the place shift, and followed by the entire place going crashing. His screams were muffled by the splashing.

-------------

Shining Armor got out of his chair going over to Flurry Heart he smiled as his daughter reached up for him he picked her up and held her in his front foreleg and nuzzled her cheek, Flurry returned the favor by hugging her father’s muzzle.

“Da,...Da.” Flurry squeaked

“That's right, da da’s here.” he spoke, ignoring the funny feeling in his gut. Flurry giggled tugging playfully on her father’s mane.

“Aww… why don't you play with her, Shining?” Cadence suggested.

“Good idea.” Shining nuzzled his wife. “See you later.” he picked up his daughter and went into another room to play with her. But, he had to stop what was making his stomach groan. It was solved when he gently jabbed his own gut. He let out a sudden burp making his daughter laugh. “Hehe is daddy a silly pony?”

----------

Cody swam back up and gasped for air. He was going to have a word with this guy as soon as he got out… But how? It dawned onto Cody that he may have to use the body’s natural exit… not unless he burps really hard.

Cody was then pushed by the sudden lump that formed inside the stomach, bouncing him on the walls. Cody flopped into the back, onto the beach with a splat. He growled and was ready to pound on the wall, but the place changed again flipping around, washing him away.

Cody dropped down into the stomach juice with a loud splash he surfaced flailing around trying to get back to the beach, then the stomach turned once again, the stomach acid tidalwave Cody into the walls once more and bounced him around, Cody just wanted this all to end!

------------

Shining laid on his back as Flurry Heart bounced on his belly. Shining laughed loudly, not finding it painful (there were a lot more painful things he did), but he felt some of his snacks bouncing inside of him.

“Ready to fly?” Shining asked holding his daughter she giggled holding her arms up. He gently tossed her into the air and caught her. Flurry landed onto her father’s belly and bounced up and down.

----------

Cody gasped and coughed for air as that torture ended. He had to react fast! Quickly, he sprinted to the closest wall and banged on them with both of his fists, making a splatting sound with every hit.

“HEY!!!” Cody yelled. “LET ME OUT!” The walls squished in knocking Cody into the pool the stomach became narrow and tight. “HEEEELP!” Cody could squirm as the walls got tighter.

--------------

Flurry Heart gave her dad a curious look.

“What's wrong?” Shining asked. She babbled, pointing to his belly. She rested her head onto his belly and patted his belly. “Heh, I know, it's being weird today.”

“Da,... Da,... Bewuy.” Shining smiled, petting her head.

“You want to listen to daddy’s belly?” She patted his stomach and frantically started hitting it.

“Bewuy!”

“Alright, and I'll be quiet.” he took a deep breath and held it. Flurry placed her head on his belly and listened. She and Shining could hear a gurgle, his heart, and, something that made Shining nearly faint: a screaming boy.

“Someone! Help!” A muffled voice could be heard behind Shining’s belly.

“Fl-Flurry get off.” Shining sat up holding his stomach. He didn't want anything weird to happen… But it was close to it. He gently tapped his belly. “H-hello? I-is someone in there?”

“H-Hello Mr. Pony?” The muffled child’s voice spoke. “You ate me.”

“... I was afraid of that. Give me a moment.” He got up putting Flurry on his back and walked back to the room where everyone was at. He had the look of dread on his face. Everyone noticed his look.

“What's wrong?” Cadence asked. “Did… did Flurry say a bad word?”

“W-Well no,... Um, Twilight… the muffins… you checked for tinies, right?”

“Uh,...” Twilight froze her eyes widen. “Uh oh.”

“I called it!” Spike boasted, running to Shining and placing his ear on his belly “Hey there… Sir or ma'am. I told them to check for you tinies to avoid something like this.”

“Spike not the time.” Shining snapped at him with a nervous attack. “I ate a tiny without knowing it!”

“You eat tinies back home.” Cadence said.

“That's different!” he rubbed his belly. “Don't worry, little guy! I-I'll get you out!” Shining had sick color of green to him.

“Ugh! Don't puke him out!” Starlight gagged.

“Please, don't!” Cody added.

“Soda, please!” Shining announced. Cadence gave him a bottle of sarsparilla. He looked down again. “Alright, don't panic. This'll be over quickly.” He chugged the bottle of soda.

Cody watched a waterfall of soda enter the stomach, bubbling the pool he was in. The place shook and growled loudly. A bubble formed around him and he began to float up to the esophagus.

Shining felt his stomach bubbling, he rubbed his belly, feeling it starting to come up. He hiccuped, then opened his mouth.Buuuurrrrp!

Cody watched Shining Armor’s throat pass by much faster than he had entered, and the teeth becoming a blurred frame to the outside, to which he was blasted into. Cody now found himself in the air with all the giant ponies watching. He looked down as he started free falling to the floor only to be stopped by some kind of pink arora. Shining looked back to see Flurry Heart’s horn glowing the same pink arora. She used her magic to levitate the boy back to her father’s muzzle and setting him on his nose.

“Good job, sweetie.” He smiled at her giving her a kiss on the head and then brought his attention to the tiny boy on his nose. “Hello little one.”

“... H-hi.” Cody weakly introduced himself. Cadence levitated a rag and dried Cody off.

“T-thank you ma’am.” He sheepishly smiled at Cadence.

“It’s OK, little guy. You're safe.” Shining smiled gently rubbing Cody’s head with his blue hoof “But I guess you figured that on your own when you were… well, in me.”

“K-Kinda.” Cody shuttered, not really wanting to revisit the stallion’s stomach again.

“S-Sorry about that. I should have looked.” Shining’s ears drooped down and gave a guilty look. “But, is there any way I can make it up to you? A tour of the Crystal Empire? Perhaps dropping you off with your family?”

“I-I don’t know where my family is. I’m lost.” Cody’s head dropped. He felt a tingling sense around him, followed by being lifted off. He was brought over to Twilight’s overturned hoof, where the Princess gave him a quick nuzzle. Cody gave a small smile whipping a tear away.

“I'm certain your family's looking for you. You'll be back with them in no time.”

“You think so miss?”

“Twilight, and of course they will. I’ll make sure of that.” Twilight smiled brightly, giving him another nuzzle, making the boy giggle.

“T-Thank you, Twilight.” Cody looked around, seeing all the giants smiling, along with a dragon, a small one… well, to them he was. “So where am I?”

“This is your home, Equestria.” Twilight’s horn glowed, revealing a glowing hologram, like map. “I guess it's very different from your world. I’ve been in a world of humans, but you, and all the others that came here, are much different than the other human world.”

“Sounds like a confusing comic book.” Cody scratched his head, making Spike laugh at the commnet.

“You got that right!” he replied. “But let's just say that if you go to that world, you're still going to have the same problems.”

“Weird. Also, are you a baby dragon?”

“...I'd like to think I'm older than that, but yeah… I'm a baby dragon.”

“Cool. Um, do you breath fire and raid villages?

“Uhhh, no.” Spike blinked twice, confused by the whole question. “I do breathe some fire, but I don't attack villages. I'm too small for that… and that's just messed up.”

“Oh, good, but you do breath fire, that’s cool.”

“It's more like burping.” Twilight spoke.

“Hehe, he can burp fire.” Cody sounded interested and smiled brightly.

“And is the fastest way to deliver letters.” This gave her an idea. “Oh! Why didn't I think of that!?” She handed Cody to Starlight and trotted off.

“Where is she going?” Cody looked up at the unicorn. Starlight just looked down at the tiny boy and shrugged her shoulders.

“Probably a letter to Celestia.”

“Who’s Celestia? Is she a queen? She sounds like a queen.”

“A princess. And she's the overall leader of Equestria and moves the sun.”

“Whoa, that’s so cool. She’s like Superman.”

“Who?” All the ponies and dragon asked looking confused.

“...Whatever works” Twilight reentered the room with a piece of paper and a quill.

“How would you feel about living with Starlight, Spike and I for a bit?” She asked.

“R-Really? I can stay here, in this big castle, I’d love that!”

“I figured you would. Many lost kids are immediately eaten by Luna the following night, asleep or not.”

“Uhh, who is she?”

“Celestia's sister.” Starlight answered. “Princess of the night and dreams. She does this to protect them and bring them to their families.”

“So she doesn't eat them to eat, she does it protect them? A bit odd, but, I’ve been through a bunch of odd stuff today so might as well get use to it.”

“Heh, it does get a little odd, but don’t worry I’ll help you, me, Spike and Starlight.”

“Thanks, you're all so nice, it’ll be great staying with you all.”

“Yes, it will. And I promise to not eat you.”

“...What?”

“She eats Tinies.” Starlight quickly answered. Cody blinked and nervously laughed.

“I'll keep that in mind.” Cody shivered a bit.


---------------------


Somewhere in Canterlot Princess Celestia read the letter sent to her by Twilight she nodded her head and made her way to her sister’s room she knocked on the door that had a half crested moon painted on it she patiently waited for a response.

“Ugghh come in,....” Luna’s tired voice answered.

Celestia opened the door and walked inside the room it was dark with a faint light glow from Luna’s moon shaped bed that she was snuggled in.

“Luna a new tiny has arrived.”
“Really?” Luna rises her head looking at her with slight bit excitement.

“Yes and Twilight wanted me to tell you not to eat him.” Luna frowned in disappointment. “Please Luna try to understand the poor child is frightened and not use to are ways yet.”

“Uh oh fine. I won’t eat them I promise.” Luna flopped her head down on the pillow. “May I go back to sleep now sister?”

“Yes you may goodnight Luna.” Celestia walked out of the room closing the door behind her.


-----------------


“Good news Luna promises not to eat you.” Twilight returned with an open letter Cody sighed with relief.

“Thank goodness. Thank miss Twilight.” Cody smiled up at her.

“Of course.” She levitated Cody up to her face and brought him to her cheek and held him up with her hoof Cody hugged into her soft violet fur and snuggled up to it feeling the warmth.

“Since you’ll be staying with us little guy what do you like to do for fun?” Spike asked.

“Hmm well.” Cody smiled rubbing his chin.


-----------------

The tall grass flutters as the breeze flows through making them whistle a loud roar echoed across the field the massive beast’s jagged green spines could be seen over mils of the field and its bright fire engulfed the areas of which the beast pasted.

“Shhh.” Armorge the Armored whispered to Cody the Courageous the two knights stayed down low so the massive scaly beast wouldn't find them.

“It’s been an honor serving along with you Armorge.” Cody smiled up to his fellow knight Armorge nodded in response.

“Don’t think of this as the end just yet. But if it may be they shall sing of our glory in great halls of the kingdoms to come.” The knights slowly moved pushing past the tall blades of grass in his way the shadow of the beast now casting over them.

The scaly beast roared loud its long neck stretched out over the heroes it's blazing bright green eyes staring down at them its maw opened flames escaped from its jaws as it came stomping right for them.

“Whoa! Whoa! Hold on!” Spike huffed “Really. I have to be the big scary dragon!”

“Sorry Spike you were the only dragon we know.” Shining shrugged.

“It’s all in good fun.” Cody stood on top of Shining’s head wearing a brand new knight costume.

As they argued the castle doors swung open surprising all of them Spike, Shining and Cody turned to see in the doorway was Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Big Macintosh all in there costumes.

“Sorry we're late.” Rainbow Dash pulled her light gray hoodie and mask from her head.

“Eeyup.” Big Mac gasped sounding out of breath and fixing his helmet.

“Pinkie Pie was having trouble getting her costume on an,.... Hey it's you!” Rainbow Dash pointed her hoof at Cody making him jump. “Now I’m gonna get ya.”

“Ahhh!” Cody jumped into Shining’s mane Rainbow Dash leaped in the air and shot right at Shining in full speed the puzzled stallion tried to move but was tackled.

“Ow! Ow! OW!” Shining yelled as Rainbow pulled at his mane looking for the tiny human who snuck out and ran, hiding behind Spike’s leg for safety.


As they all argued above them all Princess Luna stood on the pillar and watched Cody carefully smiling as he avoided Rainbow Dash. “It seems Twilight’s Wonderbolt friend didn’t get the memo on no eating well he seems to have it covered as long as he keeps avoiding her that is.” Luna kept watching as Cody ran from the hungry pegasus. “He does look delicious. I hope the young one has a sibling.” Luna licked her lips then faded though the walls and took flight into the dark blue star light sky
