The train arrived at Ponyville station just as the Sun was setting, its last rays illuminating the mountains in the horizon. There was nopony at the station and Twilight was only one to leave the train, so she trotted out of the train and headed towards her castle.

She had decided to keep the tinies in secret for now and after levitating them on top of her head, she told them to hide in her mane. Indeed, Susan and John were holding on from her mane strands and looking amazed at the huge surroundings Twilight trotted past; even a simple cottage was much larger and taller than any building on Earth and the trees were absolutely enormous, almost like reaching to the sky itself.

“T-this is incredible…” Susan breathed, looking around excited, trying to memorize everything she saw. From the corner of her eye she saw that John had suddenly frozen and was staring right at front. “What the hell…” He muttered. “What is that?” He asked.

Susan looked past Twilight’s mane strands and saw an enormous castle that looked like a tree but was made of some kind of rock or crystal. Twilight chuckled a bit, feeling her cheeks blushing. “That is my home. It is a long story, I will tell that you some day.” She said, quickly trotting towards the castle.

Susan craned her head back, as Twilight reached the door, trying to see the top of the castle and estimate its height but after a moment she just gave up. “You realize that we are size of insects here…” John said, just loud enough that Twilight heard it.

Twilight looked up as if trying to see the tiny humans on top of her head. “Don’t worry, little ones.” She smirked. “I am very powerful and I will take care of you while you are here.”

“Oh, um… Thank you, Twilight.” Susan said, holding on her mane strands. John leaned closer to her and whispered. “And I don’t like her calling us ‘little ones’.” Causing Susan to giggle softly. “Well, we kind of are, to them.” She said, nodding down, how they were literally on top of Twilight’s head, holding on her mane.

Twilight opened the door with her magic and stepped in, trotting in the corridor and continued until she turned to open another door which led to some kind of library, or at least there were a lot of huge books scattered around. As Twilight walked to a table, Susan and John felt the now familiar tingling feeling engulf their bodies. They were lifted in the air by Twilight’s magic and then gently settled down on the huge, wooden surface.

“What are all these books and scrolls, Twilight?” Susan said after she had completed a full circle, looking around the enormous room. There were few books and very old looking scrolls on the table. Even the thinnest book was much taller than she or John. Susan looked at Twilight and pointed at books.

“Oh, it is my library, I collect all kind of books about history and magic.” She said. “That is how Princess Luna discovered the portal to your world and I would love to see if I could find more information here, if somepony in the past had discovered the way there too.” Twilight explained.

“But… Wouldn’t our history show that they were giant ponies visiting us?” John said, looking at Twilight and Susan.

“Yes they would.” Susan nodded. “So if they were any contacts between humans and ponies in the past, it must have been very limited.” She said.

Twilight patted her chin with a hoof. “Hmm, maybe only the most magically powerful ponies were able to do that, if they did it at all…” Twilight muttered. “I have few ideas where to start, but it can wait.” She suddenly grinned and floated a small sofa to her and hopped on it, laying comfortably looking on it. “But I want to hear all about you!” She said excitedly, looking at the two tiny humans.

Susan looked at John and Twilight. “Um… As I mentioned earlier, I am a biologist.” She said. “I was invited to study the reports about… well… you guys.” She said, little embarrassed as she nodded towards Twilight.

“Oh, I think I can understand that.” Twilight said, letting out a small giggle. She smirked as she couldn’t help but tease them a bit and lifted her foreleg, placing her hoof on the table near the tinies.

Susan gasped as the huge hoof slammed on the table, making it wobble a bit. “Woah…” She breathed and noticed that her hoof was covered with soft looking, purple fur. As she walked nearer, marveling its size, an idea popped into her mind and she looked at Twilight. “Um… Could I take a…” She pointed at her hoof.

“Sample?” Twilight continued, raising her eyebrow. “I think it is okay.” She smiled.

“Thank you, it means a lot to me.” Susan said and walked to the hoof which was as big as a house and touched the soft fur. Even the strands were as thick as her finger and she realized that she couldn’t possibly poll one out or cut it.

“Here, use this.” John said, walking to her side. He offered a knife which he had on his belt.

“Thanks.” Susan nodded and cut a tip of the strand with the knife, putting it in a plastic bag before putting it in her backbag.

Susan touched the fur again. “Oh, wow, it is so incredible…” She said quietly, looking and moving her hands through the thick strands.

“But since I allowed you to take that.” Twilight suddenly said. “How about I examine you next.” She grinned and enveloped the tiny humans with her magic, effortlessly floating them off the table and on her overturned hoof. She snuggled for more comfortable position on the sofa and looked at the two tiny humans on her hoof. So tiny they were that she didn’t even feel their weight, only a slight tickle on the bottom of her hoof as they moved.

To Susan and John, it was an entirely different kind of experience. Susan didn’t have even time to respond when she had been lifted off by an invisible and irresistibly force. She watched in awe as she and John were floated on the giant alicorn's soft hoof and unceremoniously almost dropped on it. Susan tried to stand but found it easier to sit on the soft, furry surface which was wobbling a little. Even the slightest movements that Twilight’s hoof made, was indeed making standing difficult for them.

Susan gasped a bit when she saw Twilight’s face come closer and her huge eyes staring straight at her. She even saw her reflection in her iris, making her swallow nervously. “Woah, easy there…” She raised her hand reflectively, making Twilight giggle a bit. Twilight’s lips parted a bit and the tiny human stared that her huge, cavern like mouth and saw her pearly white teeth and the huge tongue moving inside her mouth. Susan realized that they wouldn’t even make a snack for her if she decided to toss them in her mouth.

Twilight smiled gently at them. “Oh, I am sorry. Did I startle you?” She said, tilting her head a little, looking at them with curious eyes.

“N-no, this is just so overwhelming…” Susan muttered, waving her hands. She decided not to say anything even if a part of her mind thought that Twilight was teasing them on purpose. Another part started to worry what would happen if such playful, and giant, ponies would start to roam freely on Earth.
