“Twilight! Will you let me go!? I was drunk with power; you’re doing this on purpose.”
Starlight, barely the size of a hoof, was pinned against Twilight’s inner thigh, held in place by her socks. She said it was a punishment for Starlight’s… previous adventure, but she knew she just wanted to feel her struggle and squirm.
“No Starlight, this is the best way for you to learn your lesson. Regardless of why you lost control, you caused the magical spell that caused everything without fully understanding it.”
Starlight continued to squirm, trying to force the rim of the sock to give enough for her to slip out. It wasn’t happening with magic, she lost any ability to create any when the negative side effects of her last spell kicked in and shrunk her.
Twilight leaned forward a bit more, nose deep in her books. The weight pressed onto her legs pressed her thighs into the pillow she sat on, causing them to flatten a little and loosen her sock’s grips.
Starlight easily slipped out, onto the pillow.
“Finally!”
Starlight quickly placed her hooves to her mouth and looked up. Twilight hadn’t noticed her escape and she wanted to keep it that way. She took off at full speed, knowing her tiny size would make next to no noise at all as she ran out the open gap between Twilight’s hooves, leaping off the pillow and onto the cold, hard floor.
A part of her knew it would be dangerous to be walking around the castle at such a small size, but safe for Twilight and her friends, no one else tended to be there. Spike was off to the dragon kingdom so he was defiantly going to be gone until she was back to normal size… which should only have been a few hours away.
Perhaps if she could make her way to her bedroom, she could just fall asleep and wake up back to normal size. Wouldn’t be too hard, so long as Twilight doesn’t notice she got away.
“STARLIGHT!”
Starlight’s ears perked up instantly. She was relying on those books to keep Twilight focused away from her so that she could get away. She could already hear the trotting of Twilight’s hooves getting louder as she entered the corridor, searching the ground for her tiny pupil.
Starlight turned and ran down the corridor. It quickly dawned on her it was no use as she heard the thud of Twilight’s hoof steps, although muffled by the socks on the hard floor, getting louder and louder. Sooner or later, Twilight was going to catch her, and it would be a lot worse than it was already.
“Twilight?”
The doors just ahead of Starlight burst open, presenting Rarity, standing in the door way. Oddly enough, she wore a pink jumper with a black, fuzzy collar. Her sleeves were pulled up her hooves too. Starlight turned back around and saw Twilight was very close, almost as far as Rarity stood from herself.
“I heard about Starlight, I came to see if you and she were alright but I was mobbed by other ponies, asking me questions you hadn’t answered them. I had to put this on and pretend to be a long lost sister. It fooled them, knowing I would never wear something like this outside.”
Rarity had begun heading towards Twilight, likewise did Twilight head towards Rarity. Starlight was caught in the middle with nowhere to go. She didn’t know which way to go. Luckily they made her choice for her as Rarity was already on top of her in no time.
Starlight ran away from her, towards Twilight but Rarity’s giant hooves swung over Starlight instantly. Starlight slide across the ground in an attempt to stop and run the opposite way again, only to see the giant shadow of Rarity’s hind hoof descend upon her.
“I heard Starlight grew gigantic and did quite a bit of damage to Ponyville.”
“Yes… Unfortunately she was messing with magic she didn’t understand but right now, I’m trying to find her. She snuck away from me in the middle of her discipline.”
Rarity began to grind her hind hooves against the ground; it was quite colder than usual. She whipped out a pair of deep purple nylons from her jumper, lifting one of her hind legs and slipped it on, doing the same with the other.
“I don’t much care for this outfit, but it is quite warm to wear in here… Why is your castle so cold?”
Twilight began to lead Rarity to the tea room, bringing along a pot of tea and small sandwiched from the kitchen nearby.
“Honestly, I don’t know where the heater is…”
Starlight squirmed; her back was pressed into the soft soles of the white unicorn whilst her face was buried into the insole of her nylons. She didn’t seem to take notice of the tiny unicorn stuck to her hoof.
She had to endure each step as Rarity made her way to a location Starlight could only guess. After a minute or so, the weight was lifted off Starlight as Rarity’s hooves stretched forward, off the ground and rested there.
Starlight could hear a conversation between the two ponies above and thought twice about squirming to get Rarity’s attention. Had she been found out, Twilight would be the next to know and she didn’t want her accident with Rarity to give Twilight new ideas.
Trying hard, Starlight prodded the nylon with her horn, hoping to tear a hole in it, but it was futile. Her horn, like everyone else’s was blunt ended rather than sharp and pointy.
The only other option was to use magic. She should be growing back to normal size soon; maybe she had use of magic by now. She focused on a simple teleportation spell, to teleport from one side to the other side of the nylon.
She cast the spell, only causing a few sparks to shoot from her horn. Rarity’s hoof twitched at the tickle the sparks cause.
‘Careful Starlight… It’s not gonna be simple. I’ll have to concentrate more…’
Starlight thought to herself focusing on the spell like it was the first time she was attempting it. Casting the spell, sparks began to shoot again. Sweat slipped down her head.
*Pomf*
*Pomf*
Starlight stood out in the air, standing on a giant pillow. Behind her, the giant sole of her previous prison, across from that, the hooves of Twilight sat at the opposite side of the table she was under.
Finally free, now was her chance to head back towards her room. Only, she was stopped by the rumble of her stomach. She hadn’t eaten for a while, not since before she started studying in the first place. She could make out the muffled sound of munching of sandwiches above. Perhaps a bite or two and then back to her room.
Now equipped with magic again, albeit limited, she was sue she could teleport up to the table. Standing where she was in front of Rarity’s sole, she teleported.
*Pomf*
*Pomf*
There was a sudden feeling of rushing wind when Starlight realized, she was just too low and teleported herself under the table and was now heading for the ground. She began to scream, covering her face before landing on the soft pillow below.
A deep shade of red filled Starlight’s face as she reassessed her location. She needed to be a little bit higher… like, a hoof higher.
Hoping to not be found out so easily, she began to climb up the side of Rarity’s hoof, using her nylons as a means of hoof holds in order to reach the top. It wasn’t long before she was up on Rarity’s leg, elevated closer to the table top.
*Pomf*
*Pomf*
There was no sudden drop; Starlight could see the whole of the table top now. She was there… but she didn’t remember the table being so soft.
Her movements were suddenly frozen. She couldn’t move as she saw herself and the table surrounded in a blue aura. She was suddenly lifted and turned around, coming face to face with Rarity’s face.
‘Crap! I’ve been caught. Twilight’s really going to give it to me now…’
That wasn’t the case though as she was brought closer to Rarity’s face, more specifically, her opening maw. Starlight couldn’t move her body, but she could move her eyes. She saw that Rarity wasn’t staring at her, nor was she standing on the table but a sandwich, about to be devoured by the giant unicorn.
She wanted to scream, but her mouth was shut tight and she could only watch as she passed under the teeth and entered the mouth. Her heart pounded, as she was second away from being eaten. She just wanted to close her eyes instead of seeing it all without any control of the situation.
There was a sudden yank on Starlight’s back and she tumbled off the sandwich, out of Rarity’s mouth just as her teeth and lips came together, sealing her meal inside.
Now Starlight was back in that old position of falling towards the ground below. Now being able to, she screamed again, hiding her face before coming to a bounce. She felt a second bounce before landing on the familiar soft landing of the pillow. Starlight’s body had bounced off of Rarity’s protruding belly, followed by a quick bounce off of her soft thigh before landing right between her legs on the pillow.
She now knew what it felt like to be that poor unicorn she almost ate herself when she was big.
“Oh I feel like a slob. I think I dropped some crumbs on myself.”
Starlight looked up to the origin of the voice to see Rarity’s hoof coming down to brush away the ‘crumbs’ that fell on her lap. This was a sign to Starlight to get out quickly as she got to her hooves and ran from between Rarity’s legs, just as her hoof came down behind her.
‘That was a close one…’
Starlight leapt from the pillow to the ground and left the room, on route to her room. No more detours, the last one almost got her fed to her friend.
Starlight’s rump was stuck as her upper half had made its way under the door; her flank was having a little trouble making it the rest of the way. She struggled, pulling and kicking, trying to get the rest of the way under the door. It was no use, she was stuck.
She flopped on the floor, frowning at how silly of a situation she was, just to climb under the door.
“Hang on!”
*Pomf*
*Pomf*
Starlight wanted to kick herself for how silly she felt but she was just glad she was in her room. Now she just needed to get on top of her bed and rest and by the time she woke up, she could put this past drama behind her.
As she made her way across the floor, she heard some noises coming from the other side of the door.
“Are you sure she’s not there? Seems like the best place to hide out, don’t you?”
The door to Starlight’s room swung open as Twilight and Rarity entered. Twilight stepped over Starlight and sat down, unknowingly sitting directly onto the tiny unicorn who was so close to her goal.
“See? She’s not in here. Maybe she’s still hiding in the library.”
“I was just pointing out that if I were in Starlight’s position, I’d have headed for my room as it would have been the safest place, safe from being stepped on or some other unfortunate event.”
Starlight couldn’t take it much longer. Twilight’s large cheeks had pinned her body to the ground, her head was trapped under the base of her rump wile her body was pinched between the cheeks.
It was becoming too much. She had been held prisoner, stepped on, almost eaten and now sat on without even being noticed. Anger started to well up inside her. She shut her eyes as she tried whatever she could, casting any kind of spell to help her.
*POMF*
Her eyes opened slowly. Everything around her was smaller than it was moments ago. Actually, more like how they should be.
“I told you she’d be here darling.”
Starlight noticed a weight on her back as she looked up, seeing Twilight sitting on her back. There was an almost creepy smile on her face.
“What is it now Twilight?”
Starlight was not as amused as Twilight and it showed in her half heartedly asked question.
“I knew where you were this whole time. How else did you think you avoided being Rarity’s lunch?”
Starlight began to growl.
“If you knew where I was, why did you leave me to go through all that?”
“To teach you a lesson… So what did we learn today?”
Starlight groaned.
“Don’t leave the sock.”
