It had been several years since shrunken humans started appearing in the human world. Sunset remembered the day clearly. It was the start of a strange relationship between the shrunken humans and the normal sized ones. Although, that wasn't to say the relationship was bad, in fact if anything it was better here than it was in Equestria. This was due to several laws that had been passed since their appearance.
The first law enacted was the “Willing To Be Swallowed Act,” which basically made it so the only tinies that could be swallowed were the ones that gave you permission to eat them, or the ones that had special passes that allowed them to be eaten at any time. Of course, there were exceptions to this law, like if the eating is done without consent as an act of protection, if they were family or close friends, or some other act of caring. If this law was broken, you could receive a life sentence.
The second law was the “Anti-trafficking Act,” which made it illegal to kidnap and sell tinies on the black market. Anyone who did was labeled as a traitor to the country and put to death.
With these two laws, the relationship between the tinies of this world and humans was pretty good. Marriages were no longer uncommon, and children that were born from these couples were already going into their sixth generation.
Sunset was happy with the way things had gone. The tinies were pretty happy here, and they were treated like normal human beings. This made Sunset think back to the first tiny she encountered and took care of. He had come in with a group, and one member was given to each of her friends. Sunset had taken care of her tiny for a while before he had found a girlfriend and moved in with her. Since then, Sunset had never taken care of another tiny. That however, was about to change.
Sunset was walking home from work. She worked as one of the youngest high school teachers in the district, but was still one of the brightest. Summer break had just begun, and Sunset had just finished giving out the final grades to her students, almost all of which passed with flying colors. As a little celebration to herself, Sunset had visited Pinkie at Sugarcube Corner. Now Sunset was walking back to her motorcycle. However, as she walked by an alleyway, she couldn't help but notice a peculiar noise.
It was the sound of crying.
Sunset immediately went to investigate. She stepped into the alley and looked around, but saw no one. However, she could clearly hear the crying.
‘What in the world?’ Sunset wondered. She stepped farther into the alley, still trying to find the source of the crying. Eventually, she found it.
It was a tiny boy, looking to be around maybe 5 as far as Sunset could tell. He was sitting against the wall, weeping loudly.
“Hey, are you okay?” The boy noticed her and panicked. He ran to the back of the alley, but trapped himself once he reached the corner. He curled up and tried to become as small as possible.
“P-Please don't h-hurt me!” The young boy was terrified, which made Sunset even more concerned.
“Hey it's okay, I won't hurt you.”
“Y-You promise?”
“Promise.” Slowly, the little boy came out of the corner. “See? I won't hurt you. Now, why don't you tell me what you're doing in this alley?”
“I… I was in my room in the orphanage when there was a sudden white light and I woke up here. I got really scared because a giant walked and almost stepped on me!”
“Bright white light?” It may be hard to believe, but that weird spell was still bringing humans to both worlds. It seemed some of the tinies were still left on their home planet, and that this kid had been one of them. “Oh you poor thing, you must have been so scared.”
The boy nodded, tears welling up in his eyes. He held out his arms at Sunset, signifying that he wanted a hug. Sunset picked him up and pressed him to her cheek.
“Shh, it'll be okay. I promise.”
“I-I just want m-my Mommy and D-Daddy!” the boy cried.
“Don't worry, we'll find them.”
“No we won't! I live at an orphanage because Mommy and Daddy left the house one day and never came back!” From that sentence, Sunset could infer that this boy's parents may have been in the military or some other dangerous job.
“Shh, shh, it'll be okay. How about this, I’ll take care of you.”
“Y-You will?” the boy asked with a sniffle. Sunset held him out and nodded at him smiling. The boy laughed happily as he ran up and hugged one of Sunset’s fingers. “Mommy!”
At first Sunset was little surprised he had called her that, but soon she smiled.
“Well I guess that settles it, I'll be your new Mommy then.” She kissed the top of his head in a loving manner, causing the boy to laugh happily. “So sweetheart, what's your name?”
“My name's Wesley, Mommy.”
“Wesley huh? I always have liked that tiny name. Well Wesley, my name is Sunset Shimmer.” Wesley nodded before he hugged another finger.
“Thank you for being my new Mommy, Sunset.”
“It's no trouble at all honey.” Sunset kissed him on the head one last time before she headed back out of the alleyway and onwards towards her bike. Only problem, how would she hold Wesley? Then she got an idea. “Hey Wesley, do you know about the magic in our world?”
“This world has magic?” Wesley exclaimed excitedly.
“Yes there is, and the magic of this world allows us humans to eat tinies without hurting them.”
“Really? Why would you do that?”
“To protect the tinies.”
“Oh. Why are you telling me this Mommy?”
“Well, I can't safely carry you on my bike unless I eat you okay?”
“Oh… okay.”
“It might be a little scary but I promise that you are safe.”
“Okay Mommy.” With a nod, Sunset dropped Wesley into her mouth. His taste was amazing! He tasted like homemade cookies. Sunset moans in happiness at his taste. Eventually, she swallows him, sending him to her stomach. Once she feels him drop into her stomach, she rubs her belly.
“You okay in there?”
“Uh huh! It's really soft and warm in here!”
“Well I'm glad you like it. Now let's head home shall we?” And so Sunset gets on her bike and rides away, her son tucked safely in her belly.
