Distant quakes shaking the castle is what awoke Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadance. The two rubbing the sleep from their eyes as they stumbled out of bed, hastily putting on robes, and dashing out towards the balcony as they tried to figure out what in the world was going on. The shaking becoming stronger, accompanied by faint BOOMS! The couple first thought it was an earthquake of some kind, only for Shining to point out that the shaking was in sequence, almost rhythmic in nature. As Shining said those words an unsettling feeling began to creep into Cadance’s stomach. If the quakes were rhythmic, could they be…hoofsteps? A guard called for their attention, pointing skywards. The royal couple looked up. 

And felt their jaws drop to the floor. 

Filling up the entire horizon, rising into the sky like the sunrise itself, was their giga sized aunt, Princess Celestia. Her size uncomprehendingly big as her head, neck and torso continued to climb higher and higher into the air, out of their field of vision. Soon they were able to make out her legs rising in the skyline as she jogged over her kingdom, their other similarly sized aunt, Princess Luna right behind her. They watched helplessly on the trembling ground as their massive aunts jogged forward, their slightly blurry images in the sky becoming even greater in scale before Celestia’s vast white hoof lifted again as she took another step, it filled the entire sky and began to lower itself. 

Right over the Crystal empire. 

Shining and Cadance practically hung off their balcony as they frantically shouted up at the slowly darkening sky, trying to get Celestia’s attention, but it was no good. She was simply too big. Celestia’s hoof came down with a tremendous THOOOM! Completely flattening the empire.





Crunch 

“Oopsie! I think I just stepped on something,” Celestia giggled, the giga sized mare sticking out her tongue slightly with a playful expression on her face. She lifted her great hoof off the ground, out of the multi-mile long crater it had produced, and leaded down to examine whichever poor city was unfortunate enough to be in her jogging path. Far down below her were a few remains of scattered pieces of wood, stone, and crystal. Using her extremely magnified powers Celestia was able to make out the mite sized ponies stumbling around, dazed from being stepped on by the gargantuan princess. And among the crowd were her own, nearly microscopic, niece and nephew. 

Celestia’s chuckles rumbled the ground and air around the minuscule ponies. Shining and Cadance shook their heads to clear it and gazed up at the sky, seeing their aunt lifting her immense head back into the air as she stood up, towering over them in the sky. 

“Sorry about that you two!” Celestia’s voice boomed out as she raised a hoof again to continue her jog. Her hoof landed next to her hoofprint crater, bouncing the little ponies into the air, as she continued her workout, Luna right behind her. 

The two continued their romp across Equestrian, more tremors shaking the kingdom, and some cracks starting to form where Celestia and Luna stepped down, breaking into Equis’ crust. Entire fields disappeared underfoot as they passed by, their steps sometimes ripping out pieces of the earth, leaving behind nothing more than upturned dirt. Eventually the two titanic sisters found themselves back to where it all started, Canterlot mountain. Or rather what was left of it after Luna had stepped on it. Luna slowed down her jog as she came to a stop above the now mini crater, panting slightly as she wiped sweat from her forehead.

She leaned down to the hole in the ground curiously, as if looking for something. A gentle smile broke out across Luna’s face as she spotted the, now even smaller, ponies from Canterlot, still perfectly safe inside her footprint. The ponies pointed up with smiles as they recognized the familiar face in the sky, happily gathering around Luna’s muzzle as she lowered it towards them, giving them giant moon princess cuddles. 

Celestia meanwhile had left Luna to her devices as she continued her stroll, a spring in her step as she savored her even greater size, power, and freedom. It felt wonderful, almost a giddy feeling in her stomach, filling her with excitement. Celestia then spotted something glinting on the ground in front of her, quickly squinting she tried to make out what it was. Her face lit up as she identified it as Ponyville, now no smaller than a little spot on the ground. A mischievous smirk crossed her face as she began to slowly saunter towards the tiny town, making sure the citizens could feel every impact of her slow, deliberate footsteps. Celestia placed her hooves on either side of the small-scaled town, towering high above it. On the ground ponies were running around in a bit of a frenzy as they dashed into their homes, some yelling about retribution for forgetting their taxes for some reason. 

Celestia scanned the town, looking for something, or rather, somepony in particular. She brought a hoof to her mouth and stifled a giggle as she located two purple specks by her hooves. 

“Hi Twilight! Hello Spike! How’s the weather down there?” Celestia teasingly called down to them. Tears of mirth then threatened to fall as she watch them both faint in shock, at the sheer incomprehensiveness of the situation. A quick flash of her magic teleported them safely back home to their library and into their beds. Chortling, Celestia stepped over Ponyville and looked around, trying to decide where to go and visit next. 

“Tia!” Celestia turned around and beheld Luna as she jogged up to her. 

“Did you enjoy talking to the ponies in Canterlot Lulu?” she asked. 

Luna nodded happily, prancing slightly “Oh they were so pleased to see me again! They were happy that we’re enjoying our time off. You should have seen it Tia, they were so adorable!” she squealed. Celestia smiled and opened her mouth to reply, but stopped, as the two heard another tiny crunch. Luna stopped bouncing and looked around at the ground, a faint blush forming at her cheeks as she lifted her rear hoof.

Celestia smirked “I believe you accidently stepped on Ponyville Lulu,” she remarked as she watched Luna peel away some debris of the town that clung to the bottom of her hoof, along with some dust sized ponies that got stuck there. Luna simply dropped them back into her hoofprint, along with the rest of Ponyville. 

Luna stuck out her tongue playfully at Celestia “it was an accident! I didn’t notice such a tiny town near me!” She defended, stepping away from the crater. 

Chuckling at her sister’s antics, Celestia turned around, gazing out at the horizon, the smile slowly fading as she pondered her next words “I’ve been thinking, you know how whenever we’re at meetings with certain delegates from other kingdoms how impolite they normally are? They strut in, act like they own the place, and place outrageous demands on us with barely anything to return. Not to mention how rude they always act to the staff and to us.” 

Luna raised an eyebrow “Are you referring to the minotaur’s and griffins?” She asked. 

Celestia nodded “Why don’t we go pay them a visit and let them know just how we feel about that,”

Luna looked hesitant “I don’t know Tia, this may be needlessly cruel,” she said. Celestia rolled her eyes “Come on Lulu! You didn’t bat an eye when we crushed the Crystal Empire and Ponyville. How is this any different?” She asked. 

“Because those were accidents! You didn’t see the Empire when you were jogging, and I didn’t notice Ponyville was near my foot when I was telling you about Canterlot. Now we are actively seeking to go scare others. This may be a dream Tia, but this still is not a good mindset to get into!” Luna exclaimed. 

Celestia dismissively waved a hoof “Phooey, it’ll be fine. I’m still going to go and have my fun. Coming?” she asked. Luna sighed “Very well, I’ll accompany you.”

“That’s the spirit Luna!” Celestia said “Let’s go!”





The two had picked up their jogging pace again as they resumed storming across the land, and in no time making it to the griffon empire. A smirk plainly present on Celestia’s face, she strode on forward and brought a heavy hoof down next to where the capitol was, giving it a good tremor. “Hi down there Grifon,” Celestia boomed, addressing the king “I have a few complaints I’d like to bring to you personally about you and your delegate’s behavior.” Celestia tried to hold in her laughter as hundreds of tiny griffon flecks poured out of the castle and tried to fly towards her, little spears in their talons. Celestia simply took a breath and released it, scattering the forces in seconds. 

Giggling like a filly, Celestia lit up her horn and a golden glow surrounded the griffon empire. There was a rumbling noise as the whole empire began to rise out of the ground, the entire domain on a portion of earth the giga sized sun princess had effortlessly plucked out of the ground like it was a weed. Celestia raised the empire to her face, looming over it, her face darkened by the sun behind her “Now really young king, you should learn to treat your elders properly. Didn’t your parents raise you better? Looks like somepony will have to discipline you.” Ignoring the tiny high pitched indigent squeaks coming from the little empire, Celestia simply levitated it a bit lower before turning around. 

And promptly hip-checked it.

The whole mass of griffon empire exploded in a shower of dirt, dust, infinitesimal buildings, and fell to the ground after getting hit by Celestia’s gargantuan twin suns. The princess herself scanned the mounds of uprooted soil after it had settled before lighting her horn once more. This time the glow surrounded one single extremely tiny individual, Celestia plucked up the little King in her magic and lifted him to her eyes, sternly looking down at him like a disappointed parent “Now you listen here young cockerel, act better in the future. No more of that high and mighty nonsense in my castle when you come to negotiate, or you’ll be getting another visit from big ol’ me.” With a huff, Celestia stuck her nose into the air and flicked the little griffon king away with her magic. Grifon fell flailing into a lake and resurfaced. Only to just barely avoid being stepped on by Celestia’s colossal foot as she strode past Luna, who had been watching the whole thing unfold from the sidelines. “Come on Luna! There’s still one more who needs to be paid a visit.”

Luna began to follow Celestia, but stopped briefly, looking back at the remains of the griffon empire. The teenage king was staring back at the two colossal sisters with terrified eyes. Luna’s gaze softened and a small frown swam across her face before she turned around, jogging after her sister.





Celestia marched on ahead, no longer was there a playful smile on her face or a mirthful twinkle in her. Her expression seemed to be etched in stone as the giant stepped over another cluster of mountains. Luna jogged up next to Celestia “Tia, perhaps you’re taking things a little too far, this may be a dream but there is still no reason to be acting like this.” “Yeah well, this sure does make me feel much better,” Celestia replied, not taking her eyes off the path in front of her “If I can’t deal with their annoying presence in the meeting rooms then I’ll just do it here,” Luna said nothing as Celestia stomped forward, the minotaur kingdom coming into view.

Panic began to set into the populace as Celestia’s vast shadow fell over the kingdom, the princess herself staring down at the frightened creatures with narrowed eyes. “Chief Adonis!” Celestia shouted down to the little structures by her foot “Come out here this instant!” The two sisters watched as a little gray dot marched as fast as he could (which was really quite slow to them) up to Celestia's mountain sized hooves. 

Chief Adonis then proceeded to shout warnings and challenges up to her. Well, that is what Luna assumed because all she could hear were squeaks. “Credit where credit is due,” she thought “Those are the most threatening squeaks I have ever heard.”

Celestia however looked less than impressed, with narrowed eyes, she simply raised her hoof, the back anchoring on the ground, and raised it above the chief. “Not so tough now, huh loudmouth?” she muttered before casually stepping down. When she removed her hoof, Chief Adonis laid sprawled in the print, dazed. If you looked closely enough you could even see mini Celestia’s running in circles around his head. Smirking victoriously, Celestia raised her head and pumped her hoof in the air. “Ha! Take that!” she bragged, sweeping away Adonis and most of the kingdom with one swipe of her hoof, leaving behind a brown streak of churned up dirt, cracking up from the ground. 

“Ooh,” a familiar yellow glow suddenly surrounded Celestia again as she began to rise. Growing even greater than before. Luna looked up at her, no glow surrounding her, however. 

Celestia smirked as she observed the world grow even smaller around her, already having an idea of what game to play next.
