//------------------------------// // The Main Course (EQG and Guest) // Story: Tales from Tinies. // by MrAquino //------------------------------// A fourteen year old boy arrived at his new school, Daniel is a fairly average when it comes down to it, about four foot five inches, brown hair and hazel eyes. This day, he's beginning High school, the day has come for Freshman year. He slowly walked to the doors of the school. This is it, the last four years of school. He opened the door and walked inside. However, as soon as he crossed the threshold of the doors, his scenery changed. For one, the schools main entrance is suddenly far and above colossal, for another, so are the students. Massive shoes land around him, as these students nonchalantly head off to their respective classes. For poor Daniel however, he suddenly finds himself in a rush to dodge the massive objects as they come crashing down. "Holy crap holy crap holy crap!" He yelled in his rush, trying to find some form of safety. Slowly, a little too slowly for Daniel, the main hall clears as class time approaches. Being able to take it a bit easier, he slowed down in his rush, but still keeping a careful eye out for oncoming shoes. Massive crashes came behind him as another giant approached, he flinched as one of them slams onto the ground only twenty feet away from him. Suddenly, something wraps around him and his world goes dark for a second. His world goes bright again and he finds himself staring face to face with the most massive woman he's ever seen. The woman's beauty however is completely lost on him, as his fear surfaces. He starts scooting backward in terror, at least until the massive woman's hand closes around him again and his world is dark once again. Eventually the hand opens up again, and he finds himself in a massive room, alone, with her. Not good not good not good! Suddenly her massive thumb and her index fingers grasp him and he finds himself stuck in between the tips of each. He swallows nervously as he develops a pretty good idea about how small he is in her view. I'm, I'm, I'm barely two inches tall. She suddenly lets loose a small sigh and looks off. "Sunset Shimmer, could you please come to my office, we seem to have yet another magical problem." Sunset Shimmer, what kind of name is that? Wait, how can I be thinking that at a time like this, I'm being handled by a giant woman! This, this is impossible, yet it's happening! Oh why me?! Wait, wait, wait, people have been disappearing all over the globe, c-could this be where they end up? C-could I be one of the only ones to survive. He found himself on a solid surface, one that isn't flesh. She set me down, well that's good, I think. Problem; she's keeping a close eye on me! The door opens causing Daniel to look towards it. Yet another giant walked in, this one orange with flame red and gold hair. He looked back to the other one realizing that she too is a strange color. She's a very slight pink, with similarly strange color hair. "You called about a magic problem Principal?" "Yes, it seems we have another new student, though, I'd say he's more likely to be in trouble rather than cause trouble." "Well, where- Oh." The giant girl steps closer to the table. "Oh? Just oh? I find a tiny human being, whose barely as tall as a half a piece of chalk and all you can say is oh? So, since this obviously isn't quite new to you, maybe you could fill me in on this situation, let alone this tiny boy." The woman said with a tinge of annoyance in her voice. "Okay, um. Well, it all started a couple days ago. Sonata had been sitting by the portal, when she found some little people unconscious by it. By some luck on their part she decided to take them to us rather than her old friends. So, I figured since they were in front of the portal to contact Princess Twilight, seeing as she'd probably know more, and well, she did. Um-" She looks down at the tiny boy, noting his fear and confusion. "You're probably not going to like this part. It turns out that humans have been popping up all over Equestria, tiny and defenseless. At first the interactions between them and the ponies were good, until a certain pony accidentally ate one, then a group of them on purpose. The Equestrians found out that these tinies, as they call them, are not only very tasty, but there's some form of magic on them that keeps them from digesting and other types of harm directly from the ponies, it also keeps them from 'moving on' though I think our anatomy makes it just a bit harder for them. The, eight of us including Sonata Dusk, have those tinies that crossed into our world from my old one. Considering he didn't know this, I'd say that means that when our original group crossed over, Canterlot High became a new place for these tiny people to appear. Our Twilight and I have put our heads together and have been scanning for such a thing, a strange field of magic surrounded Canterlot High, well, probably since their arrival, but I'd say he's likely the first truly new arrival." She looks back down at the boy. "Sorry. There isn't a way back to your world so far." The woman, Celestia spoke up. "Wait, so, these tiny people are going to start appearing all over the school?" Sunset nods. "Nothing we can do to stop it right?" Another nod. "Well, I suppose that since we'll be receiving tiny guests, I expect your friends and you to greet them, and make sure that anyone stumbling upon them is informed as I was. During lunch have your friends come and meet with me as well. I suppose we should make this official." "Yes ma'am." "Well, it was nice talking with you, but you should probably return to class, I've taken up enough of your time as it is." "Ok. See you at noon, Principal Celestia." "You're forgetting something." Celestia calls after the leaving girl. "What?" "The new student." "Actually, you should probably take care of him, I already have one after all." It's like we're pets to them! Celestia sighed, as the door closes, looking down at the small boy in front of her. "Well, at least this time magic isn't threatening to enslave us or blow us into Equestria." She looks around for a moment before picking the boy up again. "Let's start this over. Hello there, I'm, well, I guess I'm your new guardian, Principal Celestia, and you are?" "M-my n-names D-Daniel m-miss!" He managed to say shakily. "U-um, b-before I-I g-got here, I-I w-was starting F-freshman y-year a-at another H-high school." "Well, Daniel, I guess you'll be starting freshman year, here in Canterlot High." Celestia looks off for a moment. "You'll also be living with me, since there's obviously no where for you to go either." She looks off again, thinking of something She looked down as her stomach rumbled, before turning back to the tiny. "Well, sorry about this, but, well, you heard her." Daniel found himself getting ever closer to her face, towards one very specific portion. "NO! Please! You can't! I'll die!" Daniel yells in terror as the woman opens her mouth. "Don't worry, both Sunset and Princess Twilight, let alone all of Sunset Shimmers friends I expect, said that you'll be fine. I believe them, they haven't been wrong so far when it comes to magic. I promise I'll be gentle with you." Celestia continues to bring the struggling boy closer, setting him down on her tongue, she draws him into her mouth and closes it behind him. He gazes around the vast space in fear. The vast pearly white teeth are large enough to mulch him easily, he'd be nothing but a bloody stain her first bite. He covers his ears when she lets out a moan. Oh no! I'm, I'm tasty to her! His real fears come when the large, muscular tongue he's now standing on flexes and pushes him further back, until he gazes into the massive abyss down her throat. He turned and tired to grab onto the tastebuds, but they were too small and slimy for him to grasp. "Please don't! I'm scared of heights!" He backs away trying to get away, but with another flex, the tongue slides underneath him, and he slides down her massive throat. The large tunnel keeps going and going, around him he hears the sound of her heart beating, her lungs breathing in and out. It never seems to end, until it gives way to a vast cavern. He fell in with a splash. He surfaces and swam to the nearest 'shore', a small curve in her stomach wall, forming a fleshy 'beach' inside the cavern. Looking around the inside, he finds that he's not the only thing in here. A short swim from his position lies an aisle made entirely of digesting pancakes & eggs, and a freshly chewed up piece of cake. He held onto the wall as it flexes inward and outward, churning the vast lake in her stomach. He sits down, starting to let tears flow. "Why did this have to happen to me? One second I'm going to school, the next I find myself in a giant school, where there's only one class for me. Digestion 101." "Don't worry," Celestia's voice boomed around Daniel "this isn't all your life is going to be from now on. I can give you all sorts of different lessons. Besides, considering what we've heard, this is the safest place for you. I'll let you out so you don't have to eat a pre-chewed lunch okay? So, since this is your first day of high school let's start off with the basics... how about algebra?"
