Tales from Tinies.

by MrAquino


Sub Snack (guest)

“I’m so excited! This will probably be my next step in teaching others about all about the Legend of Equestria!” A very spastic Sunburst yelled out with a large goofy smile stretched across his muzzle. “AM I YELLING AGAIN?”

“Hehe… Just take it easy, I know your excited, just remember this only temporary, we just need you to sub for-” Starlight tried to setting the excited unicorn.

“I know! But this is my first time ever teaching! Oh what subject should I teach them first? Starswirl's journeys throughout Equestria? Or the wisdom of Clover the Clever?” Sunburst cut off Starlight making her back up as he grew closer to her levitating many different books around him that almost seemed like his army ready to invade. Sunburst backed away and began to prance leaping around back and forth.

“Just try to keep it to a minimum, nothing to extreme, alright?” Starlight smiled calmly at her friend, Sunburst inhaled then exhaled calming down a slight bit.

“Ok… Ok I’ll just pick one subject… Hmm maybe test them on it too.” Sunburst tapped his lower lip. “Oh but which one!?”

“I’m sure whichever one you come up with you’ll do good at it, and who knows maybe you’ll be able to become a full teacher here, I know Twilight would love you teaching the students all about the old legends… When Rockhoof isn’t around that is.”

“Right… Ok I’ll do the best I can. I’ll be the best sub ever!” Sunburst said with wide smile on his muzzle.

“You’ve been hanging out with Pinkie Pie haven’t you?” Starlight smiled smugly.

With the help of Starlight, Sunburst’s class was all set. The classroom was previously Rockhoof’s room; in his class he told the tales of all his quests to students young and old. Unfortunately due to the gentle giant becoming sick from food poisoning he had to be laid off till he was back to full health.

“So when do you think Rockhoof will be back?” Sunburst asked.

“We'll have to wait and see. He ate a lot of the cafeteria's food when one of the students said he couldn’t eat all of it at once. He took it as a challenge and well….” Starlight paused making a bit of face. “Let’s just say the cafeteria will need some repairs and Rockhoof’s stomach didn’t really agree with him.”

“Oh... Poor Rockhoof, hope he recovers.” Sunburst levitated a stack of books onto the desk.

“I’m sure he will, you know more about the Pillars then I do. I’m sure a bad bellyache is gonna take more than that to hurt him.” Starlight scoffed. She used her magic to levitate a large poster onto the chalkboard of an old Equestrian map, as well as some things from the human world as Sunburst had a billboard full of enlarged posters from human mythology, many of whom stretched from Greek, Norse, Japanese and Celtic sources.

“Hope the tinies… Ermm humans like these. I hope it can remind them of home.” Sunburst smiled shyly looking at the posters. “Do… Do you think they’ll like me?”

Sunburst began to grow nervous and started shaking like one of Flurry Heart’s rattles. As he sweated, his lips curved into a worried look with his left eye twitching. Starlight walked over to him and put a hoof on his back rubbing the shivering unicorn. “Your gonna be fine, just breathe and take it easy.”


“...Ok, just take it a step at a time.” Sunburst smiled nervously wiping away the sweat from his brow, he walked over to his seat and settled down into it giving a relaxed exhale and looked out into the empty room ready for the day.

“You're gonna do just fine.” Starlight smiled and waved at him walking out of the room closing the door behind her leaving the sub Sunburst in his new classroom.

“Come on, Colton! Hurry up!” A punk girl with pink hair yelled as she stood on the desk, tapping her sneaker impatiently. She wore a bright orange vest on top of her black T-shirt that had a white skull on the center. The friend she was yelling for was a boy packing up the books off his human sized desk into his bag.

“Hang on Annie! I’ll be there soon.” Colton yelled back. He had normal blond shaggy hair, and a iconic green shirt with a blue big stripe across the chest of the shirt, and a pair of ragged jeans. He ran his way towards Annie, standing beside her as she looked at him annoyed. He tended to ignore her moods, like most of the human students at the School of Friendship had their own desk, but set on the desk of the creature partner. Annie scoffed, waiting at the edge of the desk. Her pony partner arrived; a large stallion with crates on the sides of his body to allow the Tiny students to travel from class to class with ease.

Colton and Annie, along with many of the other students gathered up in there crates, with the stallion walking out of the room going into a direction. It was weird how the cafeteria food made most of their creature partners sick. Colton watched with excitement as his favorite class was next; Rockhoof’s Myths and Legends. Over the months he had been in Equestria, he had grown to enjoy the new world around him and learning about it. He really admired Rockhoof loved hearing the stories he told, even if Annie didn’t care much for it.

“Hey guys I hear we have a sub.” One of the students spoke up, Colton’s excitement for his next class soon began to drain, he slumped letting his arms around, he had a feeling today was going to be boring.

Soon the class arrived into Sunburst’s classroom. The excited unicorn smiled happily from behind his desk as his hooves tapped happily into the floor. He stopped when a griffon student asked what the sound was, Sunburst’s face wrinkled with embarrassment he quickly sat down in his chair.

All the students Ponies, Tinies and Creatures alike, sat down in there assigned seats, with all the students, including Colton, looked at the orange and white unicorn with confusion. Sunburst stood out of his seat and went to the chalkboard an excited smile plastered on his muzzle using his magic he picked up the chalk and wrote out his name.

“Hello class it's nice to meet all of you my name is Professor Sunburst, and welcome to the Myths and Legends of Eque….”

“Where’s Professor Rockhoof, Mr. Sunburst?” Colton interrupted. Sunburst paused he looked out at the class and pushed his glasses back up nose.

“Well… Rockhoof is well… has a minor case of food poisoning from last week's incident, along with most of your partners. I’m sure I don’t need to explain all the details…” Sunburst heard the students chuckle giving him back some confidence. “But until Rockhoof makes a full recovery I’ll be taking over the class.” The students started talking among themselves about the situation, “Well I may not do everything Rockhoof does but I’ll try my best to make this class as exciting as I can!” Sunburst levitated sheets of papers from his desk and into the crowd of students.  


“Alright let's begin! We will start with learning about all the studies of all different Myths of old Equestria.”   

The class began with the students slowly starting becoming bored. Some were sighing aloud and not even paying attention to Sunburst’s lectures, with others falling asleep, listening to how boring Sunburst was, despite the students attention the nerdy unicorn rambled on talking about the various Myths going down to every single detail there was about them.

The eternity long lecture had finally ended, the students had woke and gathered themselves back to reality, Sunburst looked out at his students with a joyous smile. “Alright everyone since we went over all the details it's time to see how well you know them. Tomorrow will have a test!”

This made the students all jump in there seats and there jaws drop, leaving all the students to look at Sunburst in shock.

“Hope you all do well!” Sunburst obviously smiled not seeing how shocked his students all were to this sudden turn of events.   


After a long fifteen minutes of disappointed students mumbling to themselves about the upcoming test, the bell finally rang letting the students finally feel a taste of freedom from the boring torture the students all let out sighs of relief quickly getting out of their desks and leaving the room with slumped shoulders.

“Man that was disappointing… Rockhoof never gave us surprise tests!” Colton slumped into his desk hiding his face in his arms. His voice being muffled behind his arms. “I didn’t even pay attention to all his boring stuff…”

“I’m just glad it over, at least till we have to take that test.” Annie chimed in grabbing her back pack from her chair.

“I can’t fail another test! My old man will kill me.” Colton barked with frustration in his tone, he ran his hands with his blond shaggy hair. “What the heck am I gonna do?”

“Well… I don’t know. Guess I better study whatever it was he was teaching us.” Annie shrugged walking over to the edge of the desk as the cart stallion made his way into the room.

Colton rose up from his desk the gears began to work in his brain he quickly gathered up his things into his pack and ran to Annie, “Ok do me a huge favor, take my stuff and when I'll see you in the next class, just be sure to give it back.”     
        
“What? Why!? What are you gonna do?” Annie had little time as Colton pushed his backpack into her making her grip hold of the pack, stumbling in confusion. “What are you doing?”

“I can’t fail another test, and this is the only way I know how to pass it.” Colton walked down to the seat end of the desk turning to face Annie one last time. “Cover for me…”

Colton sat down at the edge of the desk and then slipped off the smooth wooden desk hanging off the edge by his hands, then swung himself into the shelf. A faint rumbling shook its way from the floor to the desk, the mighty footsteps of the ponies walking around picking up the students shook the shelf. He almost slipped into the floor from the shaking, one last Earthquaking tremble and the sound of giant equine breathing let the shivering student know the pony was near his desk.

He held his hand over his mouth to cover his breathing, his forehead became damp with nervous sweat he backed himself up into the wall, he heard the normal footsteps of the other human students atop of the desk walking into the carts. “Hurry up guys I wanna get some real food.” The pony’s voice rumbled the desk, sending tremors through it that almost knocked Colton off his feet.

Soon, another series of stomps rattled the desk sending shock-wave after shock-wave to the desk, making the human lose his balance and flop to the metal floor. Colton waited with nerves, the sound of a door creaking closing shut gave him the hint they were gone.

Colton slowly made his way towards the edge of the shelf he looked over at the seat, he backed up than ran taking a big leap he sailed through the air and landed into the seat with a hard thud. He winced, pulling himself up, rubbing his knees. The aching in his body slowly faded away, Colton stumbled down the large hard seat going to the metal leg below it and quickly slide his way down into the wooden floor. Very quietly, he made his way across the class room floor, dashing to the cold slender metal legs of desks for cover in hopes Sunburst wouldn’t see him. A series of loud rumbles shook the floor as Sunburst walked out from his desk, Colton peeked out from the safety of the legs seeing Sunburst with a gleeful smile on his muzzle.

“That went so well! I think I’ll be a great sub…. I hope.” Sunburst gave a nervous laugh. “O-Of course I am… Hehe I’ll be the best sub ever!” Colton felt a little twinge of guilt for his substitute from how unsure the giant seemed, but sadly, he had his own selfish needs that were now out-rivaling his temporary teacher. He ran to the space between the row of desks, to the tiny human it was like a gigantic city block, he looked down the path seeing it lead directly for Sunburst’s main desk.

Colton ran as fast he could, managing to get past one desk untill he stopped. A loud rumbling made his body suddenly freeze and flop to the floor. The student lifted himself up rubbing his chin another tremor made his body go limp and flop into the floor again. The boy looked up to see Sunburst’s shadowy form casting over him from the light behind him, Colton quickly picked himself up from the floor he stared up in shock at his giant teacher.

“Better check for gum under the desks. Hope none of the students left any.” Sunburst’s voice echoed across the room, Colton held his ears cringing at the booming but at the same time timid like voice of the unicorn. Sunburst slowly began his way down the path, his hooves stomped into the floor causing a shockwave through the floor and making tiny Colton flop up and down into the floor. The boy watched as Sunburst walked closer and closer towards him, Sunburst’s hooves smashed the flat wooden surface each impact was like an Earthquake to the tiny, little human. He quickly lifted himself up and tried the best he could to run down the path he looked passed him to see the long towering yellow pillars with white socks stomping up and down, growing closer and closer, His eyes shrank as Sunburst’s left hoof lifted up casting a large round shadow over him. The student kept running trying to avoid the gigantic white hoof, the hoof slammed down missing Colton by an inch causing the tiny human to sail through the air from the blast of Sunburst’s slamming hoof.

Colton landed with a loud a thud the panicking human stumbled to push himself up, he looked up seeing Sunburst trotting his way the hooves slammed up and down. The giant unicorn was too close for him to run he closed his eyes tightly and wrapped his arms around his head, Sunburst’s hooves stomped up and down towards the tiny human, the right hoof lifted up Colton could feel the warmth coming off of the bottom of the hoof, it hovered over the student and then it slammed down inches away from the cowering human.

Colton opened his eyes once the stomping had stopped he felt relieved to be was alive, he sat up staring in shock the four towering pillars of Sunburst’s legs were surrounding him. He looked up, now realizing he was under the giant stallion. The boy took this opportunity to stand up and ran to Sunburst’s left hind leg, he stood at the base of Sunburst’s hoof as he watched Sunburst lower himself to look under the desk to make sure there was no gum under the desk, running back away from his giant teacher while he was distracted. He paused seeing how far his destination was then looked back at Sunburst seeing his white sock leg. Quickly, Colton made his decision and ran for Sunburst’s leg, grabbing onto the tufts of white hair surrounding his hoof. He felt the warmth coming off his fur, it felt somewhat comforting, as he reached out grabbing into the fur as he slowly made his climb up the unaware unicorn.

Colton climbed up the white sock and into the pillar of yellow he reached the flap of his clock he felt a quake clinching the fur with all he could Sunburst started moving. He felt the blast of air blowing past him as his leg moved back and forth the clock whipped at his face making him bury his face into Sunburst’s fur, a tremor vibrated up his leg with each step he took, the human shivered with every step feeling like he was going to taken off from the blasting winds and the violent shaking, Sunburst came to a stop checking under the other desk as Colton continued his climb, reaching the flap of his clock then grabbed hold, the cloak lifted up with the unicorn’s movement he clinged to the cloak feeling the rush of the wind blasting under him, Sunburst made a sudden turn that cause his cloak to flap giving Colton a rush as he rode on the lip of the cloak he started to lose his grip. The human lost his grip and shot up into the air he watched as Sunburst grew further and further away as he sailed through the air his little body flipped through the air his vision went blurry, Colton’s fears raced wonder what would happen to him he expected the worst imagining he’d be nothing but a spot.

Colton hit something, something soft and very bouncy he blinked he became flabbergasted almost in total shock to what happened, he had to collect himself to realize he had bounced on slice of bread the size of house. “I… I…” Colton tried to make words but his mind kept racing. “I.. I love bread! I love it so much!” Colton rambled flopping into his belly hugging into the softness of the bread, his new found love ended as stomping of Sunburst’s hooves drove him back to reality looking up he saw Sunburst at a more even level and he was walking towards him once again.

Colton looked around seeing he had made it to his destination he looked around trying to find the test answers he had to find them before Sunburst reached his desk, he leaped off the bread and stumbled around seeing only pencils, paper clips and building high stacks of books.

The tremors of Sunburst’s hooves grew louder Colton ran for a stack of papers, the thundering stomps of Sunburst’s trotting rumbled the tiny student he peeked over from the stack watching the gigantic wizard pony sit down into his chair, he smiled happily looking joyus. Sunburst levitate a sheet of paper up to his face he smiled showing confidence, he laid the paper down near the stack papers were his tiny student stayed hidden, Colton slowly leaned forward looking at the sheet at the top it read ‘Answers’ Colton beamed with joy he found them. He reached into his pocket pulling out a sheet and pencil he quickly started writing down the answers as fast as he could his handwriting wasn’t the best but he would be able to understand it, the sound of glass plate echoed Colton jumped dropping his paper.

“Time for lunch!” Sunburst blurred out levitating a plastic box up onto his desk he opened the box levitating out a leaf of lettuce, sliced tomatoes and cheese. “Hmm where did I put… Oh right!”

Colton leaned back against the paper wall he breathed heavily, sweating from fear of being spotted ran through his head he looked down at his cheat sheet he went to all fours and reached out to grab the sheet, he suddenly found himself being lifted up into the air he was about to scream from his new height but held in his pleas of terror seeing that his teacher wasn’t even looking at him. Sunburst was reading a book and humming a pleasant song Colton watched the world around him move around he flouted over the plat till the same gigantic bread slice he had landed on gently laid down on the plate. Colton yelped finding himself plummeting into the bread he landed into the soft familiar surface he shook his head looking around at the massive slice a shadow formed over him, he looked up seeing a floating straws clump of hay and the lettuce leaf Colton was about to yell but his pleas were muffled by the hay and then the leaf pressing down on his tiny form. The floating slice of cheese laid down atop the leaf like a blanket with the two slices of tomato laying down one by one, Sunburst took his face out of the book smiling at his handsome creation topping it with the top of another bread slice.

Sunburst lifted the sandwich up to his face licking his lips hungrily, from inside Colton struggled to get loose the straw poked into his body, making it very uncomfortable for the poor human. He froze feeling the slight bits of movement he was moving and he knew were he was going. He thrashed around trying to get loose and crawl out he felt a rumble then a loud crackling sound he adjusted his eyes to the brightness of light he saw a long line of white blocks quickly being covered up by Sunburst’s lips he could barely see from where he was but watched in terror as his teacher chewed up his bite his cheeks swelled and shrank, little strains of drool leaked from the corner of his lips he quickly rubbed it away with his hoof. Sunburst stopped chewing and swallowed sending his food down into his throat Colton could see a little lump enter his neck than quickly vanish.

“Wait… Wait no no no no! Mr. Sunburst!” Colton screamed trying to get loose from his trap his pleas fell to deaf ears as Sunburst’s mouth opened, Colton could only stare in shock, Sunburst’s mouth was littered with sticky saliva webbing from his pulsing tongue that made little movement he looked passed that seeing behind the fleshy lumped hills of the back of his tongue was his cavernous like throat it was mentioned with fresh saliva, between the throat was a wiggling uvula that swayed as hot air left his mouth. “No… This can’t be happening! Please don’t eat me!”

Colton found his surrounding grow dark he no longer saw the outside world but only the inside of Sunburst’s mouth, the panicking human watched as the teeth motioned together there was a loud crunching sound as the stallion’s teeth ripped through the tomatoes leaking juices out that spilled out into the shivering student, with his thrashing Colton was able to slip through falling down into the slimy tip of Sunburst’s tongue. With a loud splat Colton found himself covered in drool coding his whole body, matting down his blond hair and soaking his clothes he heard the boom of as the teeth connected ripping into the bread and vegetables, Colton quickly clinged to the slimy hillsides that wiggled to his touch as the food feel down into tongue the gigantic clumps of food surrounded the tiny human blocking his way to any kind of safety. Colton went to his knees as the tongue lifted up he was sent flying with lumps of bread into Sunburst’s molars he landed roughly on the gaged surface, he grounded from aggravation rubbing his arms looked up seeing the top molars dropping down to crush him!

Colton yelped then quickly jumped landing back into the wiggling fleshy titan Colton laid flat on the soft slimy surface trying to cling to it only to have his hands slip from every attempt the human yelled as he started slipping down into an impression in Sunburst’s tongue splashing into a pool of his saliva. He grimoused feeling sick to his stomach, Sunburst began to chew the food that was laid out in his mouth with the help of his tongue the bread became moist making it more soft, Colton covered his head as the teeth crunched the tomatoes squeezing out bits of there torn flesh and juices that flooded into the unicorn’s mouth, a rising flood of ripped lettuce and tomato bits mixed with Sunburst’s saliva squashed out into the tongue flooding the sides and splashing Colton in bits and globs. Colton froze getting grossed out by all of this he watched in disgust as the teeth grinded the food up ripping and tearing with each chew it revealed the food was nothing more than webs of slime and mush.

Soon the slope seeped out of teeth and began to wash over into the tongue, Colton panicked trashing his way up into the soft lumped surface slipping and falling but managed to climb his way up. Colton stumbled looking behind him seeing the flood of slime heading his way ready to swallow him up, Colton yelped when the tongue shifted suddenly dipping down then lifted up pinning the human to the roof of the mouth the tongue slapped down making the human fall into the mush, the back lumps of the tongue rose up and swallowed half of the slop with a loud gurgling gulp. The back lumps of the tongue shifted back down a blast of hot air shot out from his throat making his uvula wiggle dripping saliva off the fleshy orb.

Colton pushed himself out of the slimy blob he felt gravity slipping him down further to the throat he cringed seeing the rising and fall of Sunburst’s tongue shifting giving him a peek down his teacher’s throat. The tongue lifted up brushing up against the slimy fleshy orb Colton took this opportunity it was cartoonish but he just hoped it would work, Colton leaped up reaching out his arms clinging to the wiggling orb with all the strength he had he held onto the uvula as much as he could, the tongue shifted allowing the mush to go down Sunburt’s throat, he swallowed sending his food down into his belly.

Colton shivered clinging to the dangling uvula as it slowly swayed saliva ran down the slimy orb dripping off him Colton felt some curiosity now that he was hanging on the uvula of his teacher he looked around watching the saliva drip into the soft spongy light orange tongue, he now had a chance to see all the details of Sunburst’s mouth he could see his pear white teeth had some little bits of food stuck in-between his teeth and flesh dark pink walls that made up his gums, Colton gave a nervous gulp looking down seeing Sunburst’s throat that lead down to his esophagus it looked like an endless cavern of flesh it slowly moved opening and closing as the rings flexed, he watched the entrance of the esophagus be closed off by a fleshy flap showing a new opening showing Sunburst’s vocal folds the two flesh flaps opened, Colton winced feeling a blast of chilling air enter into Sunburst’s mouth beams of light entered as his slightly opened his mouth. Colton squeezed tighter into the orb the inhale made the uvula sway the motion made him sea sick.

Sunburst relaxed in his chair smiling happily reading his book he breathed in ready to spend the rest of the day reading his book and thinking of new ideas and projects for his students but a sudden tickle in the back of his throat distracted him his lips moved trying to itch whatever this was, he felt mildly annoyed trying to get the odd itch he kept scratching with his tongue but nothing seemed to work.

Colton held on with all he could the gigantic lumps of the tongue lifted up brushing into the uvula the slimy lumps pressed into bottom of the uvula with Colton between them, both slimy walls of the uvula and tongue smothered into to him, Colton wiggled between the twin slobbery walls he felt his body sinking into both the fleshy walls of the uvula orb and the lumps of Sunburst’s tongue he tried to speak up but his words became muffled as both slimy walls squeezed his face. The tongue brushed up and down into the uvula smothering the human up and down the uvula, the saliva dripping down soaked his grip making his fingers slip the tongue shifted letting the uvula drop and sway back into place causing Colton to panic he climbed the uvula using his feet and hands to quickly cling to the squishy lumped orb.

Sunburst grimused the itch in the back of his throat he tried clearing his throat and scratching with his tongue nothing seemed to work, he slumped his head down to his shoulders his muzzle scrunched leaving him to push his glasses back up to his eyes, he scratched at his mane then brightened up a wide smile stretched across his face he reached down under his desk levitating a water bottle up to his desk he twisted the cap off and brought the bottle up his lips.

Colton shivered breathing heavily the humidity was growing too much for and the saliva dripping into him made him uncomfortable he tripped feeling his legs dangle from the slimy orb, he quickly adjusted himself so that he wouldn’t fall to his awaiting destination. His eyes shut tight as the sudden arrival of light blinded him, he squinted seeing the light coming in from behind Sunburst’s teeth and another thing, a giant water bottle the tip entered into Sunburst’s mouth his lips formed a circle wrapping around the bottle tip, the gravity shifted making the fleshy flap dip back immediately silver and light blue water came rushing into Sunburst’s mouth the water rushed in like a raging sea, the water flooded into the mouth soon rising up to the uvula Colton held his breath trying to hold onto the slimy flap, the flooding water rose up till it reached his head leaving him submerged in water his grip loosened leaving him trying to float, he waved his arms around with one good swallow Colton and the water was sent down.

Sunburst gulped loudly his cheeks turned a bit red from the hard swallow he loudly exhaled a feeling of relief made the stallion happy his horrid itch was finally gone, he reached back down levitating his book to his face to continue reading.    

With a long rush of sliding a tight narrow fleshy tunnel Colton bounced off the walls not even being able to see where he was going till he reached a closed up sphincter of flesh that opened to his arrival. With a blast of water the tiny human splashed down into the gigantic wide stomach it reacted to the arrival of the water and its small passenger the walls motioned morphing in then out, the walls were a soft spongy surface a light pink ruby like color showing some faded veins inside they were coded with fresh slimy saliva, in the center of the stomach was a small lake of green liquids it bubbled like a hot tub eating away the chewed up lumps of food that Sunburst just ate loud gurgling echoed off the walls, the sound of trashing liquids became a new sound inside the stomach Colton surfaced from the green lake gasping for air he stared in shock to where he was he was actually inside Sunburst’s stomach, he had always heard those stories about people being eaten by ponies but he never thought it would happen to him. He began to panic swimming his way to a floating clump climbing into it, his cloths all drenched in the slime his hair matted down to his face he looked around at the chamber shivering in fear.

“I’m in his stomach! … This can’t… This just can’t be happening.” Colton panicked he wobbled on the clump falling down into the juices he surfaced again salty tears rushing down his face, he was expecting to feel pain… Something wasn’t as it seemed Colton brought his hand up from the liquids he watched as the slime slipped out from his fingers just like water would he blinked in confusion the acids didn’t even harm him not even burn his clothes, Colton looked over to an area were the acids didn’t touch the stomach he swam to the shallow end climbing into the fleshy land exhaustion was getting to him, he was tired and aching from all he went through he flopped into the soft fleshy folds of Sunburst’s stomach. “I gotta… Get his attention.” He pressed his hands into the wall and looked up. “Mr. Sunburst!”

Sunburst jumped a small faint voice ran in his ears he blinked in shock causing his glasses to slip down his nose, he looked down at his stomach and gulped nervously. “H-Hello?”

“... M-Mr. Sunburst I’m in your stomach…” Colton shivered now his cover was blown.

“Who are you, how did you get in there?” Sunburst’s voice echoed off the stomach walls. Colton sate up sitting back on the wall resting in the folds.

“Well… Um I’m a student…”

“Wait you are… Why didn’t you go with the your class?” Sunburst lifted himself up from his chair the sudden wind of his movement made a little sheet of paper flutter upwards Sunburst quickly grabbed the tiny paper with his magic bringing it to his eyes he squinted at the paper not seeing it at first but with help of a magnifying glass he saw it. “Cheating!”   

“Uh oh... I can explain…” He sake deeper into the folds of the flesh wall hearing the pony’s voice echo.

“Your trying to cheat on a test, you know that’s a good way for you to get into some real big trouble.” He roared at his belly.

“I-I’m sorry sir… I’m so sorry… I had too! I had no choice I didn’t pay attention to your lecture and I….” Colton was on the verge of tears, he started sobbing. “I couldn’t fail another test, I had too cheat...”

“Wait… What?”

“I… I fell asleep I’m sorry, I’m really really sorry.”

“You fell asleep?” Sunburst’s voice became concerned.

“Y-Yeah… You were um kind of boring…”

“Oh. I was....” Sunburst blushed rubbing the back of his head.  

“I’m really sorry… But if I didn’t cheat I would have gotten in trouble with my Dad.”

“Oh…” Sunburst slumped into his chair frowning his head dropped bringing his hooves up to his face covering up his face. “Oh I knew it! I’m a terrible substitute…”

“What…” Colton asked.

“I’m an awful teacher I’m so boring that my students have to cheat…” Sunburst’s muffled voice echoed inside his stomach.
 
“It’s my fault for trying to cheat. I’m sorry Mr. Sunburst.” Colton frowned feeling guilty. “I guess we both messed up.”

“Well… I’m still the teacher I should have done better.”

“And… I guess I should have payed more attention.” Sunburst’s stomach made a slight gurgle the walls slowly sways in and out. From outside Sunburst took his face out of his hooves looking down at his belly.

“You said you would gotten in trouble with your Dad?” Sunburst asked.

“Yes. I’ve been having some trouble; I’ve been getting behind in my grades.” Colton felt the quakes of the stomach rumbling almost like a slight tremor.

“How about I help you out with classes? I can tutor you with classes your struggling with. It's the least I can do for you.

“You’d really do that?” Colton asked his voice bounded off the fleshy walls.

“Of course I wanna help as much as I can, that’s what teachers are for. Oh and forget out the test I’m gonna call it off.”

“T-Thank you Mr. Sunburst!” Colton smiled actually hugging into the soft walls of the stomach folds.

“And don’t worry I’m not gonna tell Twilight or your parents about you trying to cheat, but I am going to keep you in my belly as punishment.” Sunburst smirked rubbing his belly a bit. “I’ll remember to let you out so don’t get too worried.”

“Yes sir.” Colton nodded relaxing into the soft folds of Sunburst’s stomach wall. He smiled having a feeling that things were going to start getting better for him.

“Well, better start reading up on some of these old legends while you're in there. I can tell a little bit about them.” Sunburst chuckled and began to read up on the some of the legends.
