//------------------------------// // Boutique Bug // Story: The Vanilla and Twilight Adventures // by VanillaBeam //------------------------------// "What in the hay is goin on?" said Applejack in disbelief. "How'd ya'll get so tiny Twi?" "I was practicing a shrinking spell so I could see how the world looks like from Vanilla's perspective. For some reason, now my magic is overused, and needs time to recharge before I can do a spell like that again." "Wow Twi. Ah can't believe how small ya are." boomed Applejack. "Ya'll er as small as Vanilla. No wonder Rainbow mistook ya as a bug." With that said, Twilight looked over at giant Rainbow Dash, who was looming over top of her, with the most sorry look on her face. "I can't believe I almost crushed one of my friends." Dash said. You could hear the sorry feeling in her voice. Twilight trotted up to the cyan giant and hugged her hoof. "It's okay Rainbow. I know you didn't mean it." she said. "It's kinda hard to hear you from down there. Let me give you a lift." Rainbow said as she extended a hoof. Twilight looked at it and realized this was her first time being lifted by a giant pony, let alone one of her friends. Twilight slowly climbed onto the oversized hoof, and without warning, she was lifted up. There was tons of pressure as she was lifted. When Twilight was in front of the billboard-sized faces, she looked around at the view......... it was just as good if she was normal. "HOW'S THE VIEW TWI?" boomed Applejack. Twilight had to cover her ears to how loud and close her voice was. "Applejack! Lower your voice." screamed Twilight. AJ quickly covered her mouth. "Sorry" she said. "Say, were you with Vanilla when I..." Dash tried to say. "Yes, he was with me." she said. "But before you tried to.... yeah, I teleported him away. I don't know where though." "Was there anything on your mind before you did? I mean, like were you thinking of one of our friends?" Dash asked. "Well, I just wanted him to stay safe with one of our friends." Twilight thought on who she thought of at the time. "Wait....... I sent him to Rarity's." she said. "That's good. Lets go there now and get the little fella and let him know yer fine." said Applejack. Just then: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!" There was a scream in the distance. And the other ponies, even the ones in the background were all startled. "Oh no. That sounded like Rarity." said Applejack. "We gotta get to Vanilla before Rarity starts trying to stomp out Vanilla. This time I'm not there to help him." "I'll go to the boutique. You follow me Applejack. You stay with Applejack Twi. I don't want you to get squished by the flight pressure." said Rainbow Dash. She then put Twilight into Applejack's hat, and Dashed off. *bum bum crash* "Ah hope she gets there in time." said Applejack. "Me too AJ." said Twi. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vanilla woke up from being teleported. He was definitely not use to the warping. He shook the cobwebs out of his head and got himself affiliated with his surroundings. He was on the cold floor of someone's house. He looked around, and recognized that he was in the Carousel Boutique, and more specifically, in Rarity's room. "Why did Twilight send me here?" Vanilla asked himself. Then it dawned on him. "Oh my gosh! Twilight!" he yelled. He broke down when he realized why he was sent here, and he beat the ground and cried, fearing he had lost his friend forever. Just then, the ground began to shake. He looked up with his teary eyes and saw the gargantuan mass of a white unicorn mare. She stomped into the room, humming a little tune to herself, unknowing of the tiny pony on her floor. Vanilla quickly dodged her hooves before he could've been crushed like last time. He watched Rarity as she worked and sang to herself. Vanilla still was heartbroken at thinking of loosing Twilight, and continued to cry. Rarity took one look away, and looked in your direction. And then: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! she screamed. Vanilla quickly covered his ringing ears. He almost went fully def after that scream. He could see though, and see that Rarity was stomping hos way, with a disgusted look on her face. She tried stomping away, but Vanilla was use to ponies trying to stomp him, so he was very agile. To an extent though. "Be gone you vermin." boomed Rarity, just barely heard by Vanilla. With one kick, she knocks him to a wall. He hits it with huge force, and almost knocks him out. When he got up, Rarity's shadow was already looming over him. She was ready to strike him, and he didn't care. He was ready to meet Twilight in the other world. When all of a sudden, he saw a familiar cyan giant crash into the room, and land next to the white giant. "No Rarity! Don't do it, it's Vanilla!" Rainbow Dash boomed. "Vanilla?" Rarity asked. "But how in Equestria would he be able to get here?" She looked closer, and saw the shivering white stallion looking at both of them. "Oh my goodness. It is him. How on Earth did you get here darling?" "T-Twilight....... s-sent me here." said Vanilla, trying to hold back his tears. But to no avail. "Because SHE squished her without any remorse." he said pointing to Rainbow Dash. He got up and started beating on the mares hoof. "Why? Why didn't you look closer? Why did you have to pick on bugs? What did we ever do to giants like you? I thought I was your best friend." he said crying his eyes out. "But Vanilla..." she said, trying to get her word in. "NO! I don't wanna hear your excuse. I'll never trust you giants again. You killed my best friend. Your best friend. I loved her too much Dash. I........ I........ " Then, he heard a faint cry in the distance. It was his name. He looked to the side of Dash's hoof, and saw Applejack standing in the doorway, and he could see, in her hat, was Twilight Sparkle, alive and well.
