Princess Luna was just about to take another bite of her steamed grass, when all of a sudden, Luna swore that she could've heard a faint scream. It sounded like it was far away, yet, it seemed so close. She shrugged it off, and went to take her bite, and then again, she heard that scream again. This time, she could hear a fainter sound after the scream...... it sounded like crying.

Luna looked all around the room, to see what was crying. Meanwhile, on the fork, Pipsqueak was so scared about being eaten by Princess Luna, that he cried. He didn't even know if she was looking for him or not, but he didn't care at the moment. He was too scared to even think.

He didn't notice that Luna was now really focusing on the crying. She looked all around, until she gave up. She looked at her fork, hoping her scoop was still warm. Then, she saw a little white speck on it. She was about to chuck it at the wall, thinking someone was try to poison her, until she noticed something. The crying was coming from that spot, from that speck.

Pip was to busy in his tears to even notice that Luna was looking at him. Pip then started to think about how much fun it would be to actually have fun with Luna, especially at this size. But she wouldn't notice him anyway. So this made him cry even more.

Luna soon hovered a magnifying glass overtop of the tiny colt, and let out a gasp. Pip could feel the wind tunnels of that gasp from where he was. He looked up, and saw Luna's eye looking closely where he was. And it wasn't the magnifying glass, she literally was looking closely to him. It was so huge, his whole reflection on it still looked small.

"PIPSQUEAK? IS THAT YOU?" boomed Luna. At his size, her normal speaking voice sounded a lot like the royal canterlot voice. Pip had to cover his ears. Unfortunately, she couldn't notice. She was so close though, he could feel hurricane winds, just from her breathing from her nose.

"YES, IT'S ME LUNA!!!" screamed Pip. Luna couldn't hear what he said, but she could hear him, thus, confirming her suspicion.

"OH PIP. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IN CANTERLOT? AND WHY ARE YOU SO SMALL? YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE." Luna said. This kinda crushed Pip's spirit to hear this. "HERE, LET ME PUT YOU IN MY EAR. I SHOULD HEAR YOU BETTER FROM THERE."

Luna then levitated the fork to her left ear, and allowed Pip to hop in. Pip looked at the cavern, and saw it was fairly clean, aside to some wax on the floors. Pip sat down and screamed, "I'M IN."

"GREAT." said Luna. "NOW WHY ARE YOU IN CANTERLOT IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS IS FORBIDDEN TO OUTSIDE PONIES, UNLESS INVITED TO THE PALACE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PENALTY FOR THAT IS PIP?"

Pip then began to cry again. "OH PLEASE LUNA. PLEASE DON'T THROW ME IN THE DUNGEON." He then gasped, he didn't know he called her name, without using "Princess" in it. Pip then got really scared. "PLEASE... D-DON'T HURT ME." Pip tearfully said.

Luna could hear this in his voice, and instantly changed her attitude. "HEY HEY, PIP, PLEASE DON'T CRY. I'M SORRY. I JUST DON'T WANT ANYTHING HAPPENING TO YOU. NOW, PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU'RE HERE."

"I WANTED TO SEE YOU PRINCESS." he said with a sniffle.

"ME? WHY ME?"

"I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU GOT MY HEARTS AND HOOVES DAY CARD. I WANTED TO SE IF YOU STILL CARED ABOUT ME. EVERYONE LAUGHS BECAUSE THEY SAY YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO BE MY SPECIAL SOMEPONY, AND I THINK THEY'RE RIGHT. I'M SO SORRY FOR INTRUDING. YOU CAN BURN MY CARD IF YOU WANT."

Luna heard this, and her ears dropped, forgetting Pip was in there. Pip felt the ceiling close down on him, but to him, he treated it like it was a hug. "PIP, I'M HONORED THAT YOU WOULD WANT ME TO BE YOUR SPECIAL SOMEPONY FOR HEARTS AND HOOVES DAY. NO ONE HAS EVER DONE THAT BEFORE. THANK YOU PIP."

Pip felt a little better, and was finally so happy that he was riding in Princess Luna's ear. It felt weird, but very fun.

"PIP, BEFORE I TAKE YOU TO MY SISTER, ALLOW ME TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU." Luna said. And with that, she tilted her head, and tiny Pip fell onto her humongous hoof. He could see glass for yards, and then felt pressure of being lifted up, to Luna's muzzle. Luna then squished her lips together, and puckered up. Pip was very scared at first, but saw what she was doing, and then happily prepared himself.

Luna placed her lips on the tiny speck, and gave him the biggest kiss he's ever received. Pip did something unusual to him, and kissed her back. She couldn't feel it, but he felt weird, yet, loving to do it. Maybe Pip was growing up.
