//------------------------------// // Breakfast Time Again // Story: The Vanilla and Twilight Adventures // by VanillaBeam //------------------------------// As the two tiny ponies floated aimlessly along the large lake of corn puffs, the gigantic feline sniffed around the area, for they knew she could smell them. Every step Opal took sent small ripples, or small waves to our tiny duo. Vanilla had told Twilight many times that a tiny being's worst enemy is a cat, for they ate ANY creature smaller than it. All of a sudden, Opal seemed to have given up on the search for her meaty lunch, which seemed to relieve the stress of Twi and Nilla. But it was forlorn, for Opal soon turned her attention to the bowl they were floating in, and her eyes told the whole story. She was going to get "some" form of food, even if having to sneak some of the ponies food. "What ever happens, stay quiet." Vanilla whispered. Twilight nodded, but was so scared out of her skin. She watched in horror as the monster's face leaned in and started lapping up the milky lake, along with some flakes of cereal. Her tongue was like a whale's tail fin slapping against the milk, and scooping up. What made things worse, was that the force of Opal's slurping was changing the tide, and slowly pulling the ponies in closer. "I'm scared Nilla." whispered Twilight. "Me too....." he replied. When they were just a couple tiny feet away from being slurped, a booming voice broke the mood. "HEY! Get away from our cereal Opal!" it said. Who ever it was, seemed to scare Opal off, giving the tiny ponies a sigh of relief. At least they weren't going to be cat food. But they soon remembered that the voice said, "our cereal". Soon, the large bowl they were in began to shake around and rock violently. Twi and Nilla were separated by the currents, but not by much, since they WERE in a bowl. Soon enough, a shadow loomed over the tiny bowl, and for once, it was a horrific, yet hopeful sight. The giant who carried the bowl had a sort of purple mane, and orange coat. It was the pegasus filly, Scootaloo. She seemed to also be carrying the other bowls with her on a tray. You could soon hear a rhythm of booms, followed by a rough rock in the bowl, meaning that she must be trotting as well. "SCOOTALOO! WE'RE IN THE BOWL!" Twilight screamed. The titan filly didn't even glance downwards. Soon, Scoots would go up the stairs, making the ride even rougher. By now, Vanilla couldn't even see Twilight anymore due to the flakes blocking his view. They didn't block his view of Scootaloo though. "SCOOTALOO!! DOWN HERE!!!" he yelled. And in return, he got nothing. She looked ahead, and sometimes looked down, so she can make sure she keeps the tray balanced in her hoof. She was young, and not quite experienced with doing stuff like this by herself. "Hey crusaders! I brought breakfast!" she boomed, as she entered Rarity's bedroom. The others would give a booming "YAAAAY!" "I wish Rarity would have the time to at least serve us, or at even spend a little time with us." said Sweetie Belle. "Yeah, mah sister is always busy." Apple Bloom replied. "But when she isn't, we always find something fun to do." "You girls are lucky to even have sisters." Scootaloo added. This caught the tiny ears of Twilight and Vanilla. "I really wish that Rainbow Dash would notice me a lot more. It's like she never has any time for me, and I have no one to look up to." "Maybe if ya'll just go ahead and tell her how ya'll feel, maybe she will. It ain't like she's busy like the others." Bloom replied. "I wish she would hear us. I'd know what to say." Twilight tried to tell Vanilla from across the bowl. All of a sudden, Scootaloo was pulled away from the view of the two, and then was replaced by the gigantic view of the giantess known as Sweetie Belle. This must've been HER cereal bowl. "I feel bad for them. Opal had to get her germs all in it." Nilla said to Twilight. "Not funny right now." she replied. They then saw the looming silver saucer hover over the bowl, and soon plunged into the milky waters. It came back up and took some flakes along with it. All that was on it went into Sweetie's mouth. The loud crunching noises that she made as she chewed sent Twilight into a panic. "GIRLS!! LOOK IN THE BOWL!!! WE'RE IN THE BOWL!!! HEY!!!" she screamed. Once again, the silver saucer went into the bowl, but this time, went straight for Twilight. "NOOO!!" she screamed. But it was too late, for the saucer was directly underneath her, and arose from the murky milky depths of the lake. Twilight looked over the edge of the spoon, and could finally see Vanilla, and saw that he was worried about her, and desperately tried to swim to where she just was. She looked behind her, and saw nothing but a white furry wall that kept going down. But in reality, she was going up to possibly her doom. She soon came face to lips with the gigantic maw of Sweetie Belle. Twilight was more than intimidated by the sight of the titanic child at this size and angle. While in Sweetie's perspective, she's just holding a spoon full of cereal. "SWEETIE BELLE!!! PLEASE HEEEEELP!!!" Twilight screamed in tears, hoping her tiny voice can carry to her giant ears. "THIS BRAND OF CEREAL YOUR SIS BOUGHT IS REALLY GOOD." Sweetie lowly boomed, being she's so big and close to Twi. And then she opened her gaping maw, revealing the saliva coated cavern of her mouth. It let off a large wall of hot air to the tiny unicorn. Vanilla was full of tears, and had to look away. "I'm sorry Sweetie Belle." Twilight said in regret. She charged up her horn, and let out a good blast of energy toward one of Sweetie's teeth. It hit it's mark, and the titan let out a booming "OUCH!" "What's wrong Sweetie Belle?" asked Scootaloo. "Something hurt my tooth." Sweetie replied. While rubbing her tooth with her tongue, she glanced down toward her spoon, and saw a tiny purple speck in her spoon, apart from the yellow corn flakes. This made her jump and drop the spoon, sending Twilight flying off the spoon, and onto the carpet, in front of the towering fillies.
