"Sweetie Belle? Apple Bloom? Scootaloo?" the unicorn asked as she stepped in to the seemingly empty room. "Are you fillies in here girls?" she asked, looking around. Unknowing to her, the room wasn't empty. All she had to do, was look down. For the tiny ponies on the floor were screaming up to the Equestrian giant before them, just stomping by and quaking the earth.
"RARITY!! WE'RE DOWN HERE!!! CAN'T YOU HEAR ME!?!" screamed her little sister Sweetie Belle. By now, "little" was a perfect word to describe her, and the other fillies now. They all were screaming up to her, while Twilight and Vanilla kept standing watch, making sure the fillies don't move in her path.
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* I guess they went out to play. And I guess took the others with them. Oh I DO hope they're careful with the fragile darlings. *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*. Rarity's constant walking made it very hard for the fillies to stay standing.
"Geez! Can she walk any more heavier?" Scootaloo said. "Or talk any louder?" Apple Bloom added, covering her ears. "Well this is how all you giants are." Vanilla answered. "She's talking and walking as she normally would. We're all just teeny tiny now. You fillies were no different than Rarazilla here." Him pointing this out made the crusaders blush, thinking about how monstrous they must have seemed before they got shrunk. Sweetie Belle especially, since she had the two tiny ponies in her cereal bowl, AND almost ate them too.
Just then, she looked up, and saw her BIG sister looming right above her. Casting a shadow that looked to stretch miles over her. She was looking around from side to side, but not down. "Oh please Rarity, just look down. I'm right in front of you. Please." begged Sweetie Bell. Suddenly, as if her sister actually heard her, she tilted her head down, and scanned the floor. "YES! OVER HERE! HELP US!!" she screamed.
"Ahhh~ There you are. I've been looking high and low for you~" she boomed. "FINALLY!!" Sweetie squeed in delight. She then turned to the others under the bed. "Hey guys! She found me! We're saved!" she beamed. She turned and looked up to her sister, and her expression did a 180. Her sister had her hoof lifted in the air, and then she boomed, "How did you get into Sweetie's room? Oh well, back where you belong my little hoof comforter". Her hoof began to descend, obviously wanting to wear her own slipper, and unaware to her, her own sister.
"RARITY!!! NOOOOOO!!!" Sweetie screamed in terror. She couldn't catch her sister's attention, and all she could do was brace for impact. That was, until Vanilla quickly rushed to her aid. "I got ya" he said, throwing her onto his back, and ran as quick as his legs could carry them. And just in time. For her hoof had plummeted into the soft sole of her hoof accessory.
"*pant* *pant* *pant* You alright Sweetie?" Vanilla asked, trying to catch his breath. Sweetie was almost on the verge of tears by now. "S-She almost crushed me..... and she didn't even know it." she shakingly said. Her face was still in terror. "I wanna be normal again." she pleaded. "Twilight, please fix us!" she said. Twilight could only bow her head in guilt.
"I...... I wish I could. I don't even know how to fix myself." Twilight replied. You could hear just how sorry she was, now putting the lives of the fillies at stake. "But I promise we will find a way to get their attention, and get you back to normal." she stated. The fillies then surrounded her in a big hug. Twilight looked to Vanilla in a very sad look. He gave her a nod back, knowing she never let anyone down before, and knew she wouldn't now.
Just then, they all looked back up at the giant unicorn, who just had her hoof with the slipper up, examining it. "Well, I think this slipper is last season anyway. Sweetie Belle can have them all." she boomed. She then levitated it off her hoof, and placed it back on the floor, and her now empty hoof slammed down next to it with a big *BOOOOOM*. The other ponies all fell over from the impact. "Oh well, time to go to Sugar Cube Corner to meet the others. Maybe the fillies will go there later." she said with a smile.
"We'll have a better chance at getting noticed over there, than just staying in this room." Vanilla said. The others agreed and nodded. "That's a good plan and all, but how do we get there?" Apple Bloom asked. "It's not like we can just go up and walk there. It'll take decades before we even get outside the boutique."
Just then, Scootaloo spotted something. "Hey look" she said. "Her tail is pretty low. Lets climb on it and hitch a ride." The others loved that idea, and made a dash for her tail. "Hurry! She's about to walk away!" Sweetie Belle stated. She was right. Rarity began to lift up her hooves one by one, and slammed them down. As her tail passed by, it lightly swung in the air. They each made a leap for it. And each one made their targets. They wrapped themselves with the hair strands, though here they looked more like purple cords. Once safely fastened, they could finally enjoy the ride.
"WEEEEEEE!" yelled the crusaders. Obviously, their time of terror turned into a time of fun in no time at all. Twi and Vanilla both rolled their eyes and smiled. And as the tail swung as she trotted, Twilight leaned over to Vanilla, and leaned against him.
"What's this about?" he asked.
"Being small is exhausting." she said in a very tired voice. Vanilla smiled, and patted her head. "You're such a newbie." he said with a chuckle. She just shook it off.
"Thank you for being here for me." she said. "Anything for my friends." he replied.
