//------------------------------// // I Shrunk the Fillies // Story: The Vanilla and Twilight Adventures // by VanillaBeam //------------------------------// When the whole ordeal was over, and he saw Sweetie Belle drop the spoon, Vanilla used one of the cereal floats as a lift to reach the edge of the bowl, and finally climb out. While he was climbing out, he could hear the fillies talking to each other. "Ewww, there was a bug in my cereal. And it hurt my tooth." said Sweetie. She was making a chilled motion, as a lady would do if she saw something fowl. "I think it's still moving." said Scootaloo. "Squish it, now!" Sweetie nodded, and raised her hoof above Twilight's unconscious body. As she was about to crush the life out of the tiny unicorn, Vanilla quickly rushed to her side, and waved up to the giant filly unicorn, urging her to stop. Scootaloo saw this, and smiled. "Cool, a two for one shot.". Apple Bloom on the other hand, looked at the two bugs, confused about why on was so eager to protect the other, until she remembered earlier, and her eyes grew wide. "SWEETIE! WAIT!" she yelled. Down below, Twilight slowly woke up, and saw Vanilla by her side, waving off the giant hoof from Sweetie Belle that was about to crush them both. She suddenly had a feeling of both fear, and urge to protect Vanilla. This in turn, sent a surge of magic straight to her horn, and sent a large amount of magic to all three of the fillies. The fillies were surprised when they saw themselves surrounded by an aura of magic, and two of them didn't know why. "Sweetie, what are you doing?" said Scootaloo. "I-I'm not doing this." Sweetie replied. "Ah know who is." Apple Bloom softly added. All of a sudden, the room was suddenly illuminated by a bright light. It grew brighter and brighter until everything went black. Vanilla was the first to regain his eyesight again, and everything was normal, except for one question: 'Where were the girls?' He looked around. "Oh I hope Twilight didn't......." He stopped, and looked down. At his hooves were three little fillies, lying unconsious. The crusaders. Vanilla first sighed in relief, glad that they weren't disintegrated. But now they had a bigger problem, now THEY were shrunk. Twilight slowly stood up, holding her head. "W-What happened?" she asked, still woozy and light-headed. Vanilla ran up to her, and was like a crutch. "Okay, Twilight, I got some good news, and some bad news." he said. Twilight looked at Vanilla with fear. "The girls! What happened to the girls?!" she yelled. Vanilla rubbed his ear, and explained. "Well, the good news is you didn't kill them.". She gave a big sigh in relief. "Okay. Now what's the bad news?" she asked. "Well........ " Vanilla stopped, and just pointed to the fillies a few feet away, lying on the floor, slowly waking up. "Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed. As the fillies woke up, they still had to adjust their hearing. They could barely make out the blurred sound of arguing. When they fully regained consciousness, they saw Twilight Sparkle, and quickly ran up to her and hugged her. "TWILIGHT!!" They all yelled with glee. "Ya'll got big again!" Apple Bloom said. The other fillies looked at her confused. "Well, she was shrunk early this mornin'. And we brought her and Vanilla Beam here, and ah guess they got in yer cereal Sweetie." she said with a blush. Soon Sweetie and Scoots blushed, and bowed their heads. "Sorry about that" they both said. "Oh it's okay, it could've happened to anypony, believe me." Twilight said with a nervous smile. "But we're so glad ya'll got big again." Bloom said. Then she looked up to the other stallion. "Wow Vanilla, ya'll got big too? Awesome! Yer really tall." she said with a really cute head tilt. All Vanilla could do was give a nervous smile and laugh. "We better go tell our sisters." Sweetie said. "And you can tell Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo......... Scootaloo?" She was confused. Scootaloo had wide eyes, and her jaw was dropped. This confused the fillies, but the adults knew why she had her jaw dropped. Soon the other fillies looked behind the adults, and saw the huge stadium-sized bowl of cereal, and ironically, Sweetie Belle's bowl. Soon all of their tiny mouth's dropped. They slowly panned around their room, and soon saw it was the size of manehatten. "T-Twilight... what happened to us?" asked Sweetie Belle. You could tell she was a little scared. The fillies then began to trot around. Twilight was embarrassed, because she herself didn't even fully know what happened. "Well, when you went to squish us, my magic suddenly recharged and I uh, ended up shrinking you three, I guess out of protection." Twilight said in an nervous tone. "This is............ SO AWESOME!!!" Scootaloo exclaimed. "Look at how big everything is!" "This opens up a whole line of crusading possibilities." Sweetie Belle said, then their eyes lit up. "Cool! It's one of Rarity's slippers." she said, as she ran to it. The others looked confused, as Sweetie climbed into the sole of the extremely fuzzy hoofwear. "It's so soft and bouncy!" she exclaimed as she began to bounce in the slipper. The other fillies immediately burst with glee, and quickly joined her side and bounced with her. Twilight and Vanilla sat there and smiled, loving the fun the tiny fillies were having. "Now, how do we explain this to their sisters?" Vanilla asked. Twilight shook her head, and looked at him. "I know that they won't be the happiest bunch. But maybe we can finally get Rainbow Dash to finally come back so we can talk to her." she said. "Well, first we gotta make sure we can get the others attention first." he added. As soon as he said that, there was a slight boom, in the background. Then another, and another. And each one got louder, and louder. It even shook the floor. The other fillies were already bouncing, so they didn't notice at first. "Someone's coming" said Vanilla. "OH GIRLS. IS TWILIGHT AND VANILLA IN THERE WITH YOU?" exclaimed the booming voice. The fillies covered their ears to how loud it was. "W-Was that......... Rarity?" Sweetie asked. Soon enough, the door creaked open, and there stood the gargantuan mass of the fabulous unicorn, blissfully unaware, of the now 5 tiny ponies on the floor.
