Twilight Sparkle flew up to Canterlot Castle. She walked up to Princess Celestia and bowed. "Hello, princess," Twilight said. She offered the shoe to the princess. "Sorry to bother you but I think this belongs to you." Twilight said. Celestia looked at Twilight wide eyed.
"Yes. It just disappeared," Celestia said, then asked, "How did you know?"
"I just found it." Twilight said, she nudged the shoe to the sun princess.
"Thank you, Twilight," Celestia said, "I know you are always there when I need you." Celestia smiled as she put her shoe on. She could not feel the tiny pony taped to her shoe. Though the tiny pony could smell the natural smell of the princess's hoof. Celestia started walking back go her throne.
Radiant struggled to get out of her shoe, he couldn't speak.
Celestia felt a slight tickle, but didn't think much of it at the current moment. She sat down.
Radiant groaned muffled.
Celestia began to wiggle her hooves around.
Radiant struggled even harder and did a muffled scream.
Celestia started to laugh.
The tickling is working. Radiant struggled heavily and hoped for the best.
Celestia took her shoe off and saw Radiant. "What the..?" She said, surprised.
Radiant struggled and cried. "Who, are you? And why are you in my hoof shoe?" Celestia demanded.
Radiant tried telling the sun goddess why but because Twilight tied his face up, it's no use.
"Why can't you talk?" Celestia asked. She looked closer and noticed the string. She took it off. "Now talk." She demanded.
"I'm Radiant Sword, Twilight Sparkle's friend!" Radiant cried, "She betrayed me because she accused me of being a traitor!"
"Twilight usually has good reasons." Celestia said, then asked, "What were you accused of? What did you do?"
"I told her that I loved my goddess friends who helped me know the magic of friendship, but she refused to accept my compliment," Radiant said, "Without love from the Goddess of Generosity, I am doomed to learn the magic of friendship and become Equestria's outcast for all eternity." He sobbed.
"How is that traitorous? That's ridiculous." Celestia said. She paused and said, "You didn't tell her that you loved her did you?"
"I did..." Radiant sobbed, "Celestia, forgive me... Without the magic of friendship, I'm useless..."
"Oh dear," Celestia said, "Twilight can be a bit possessive at times. But why do you need to love them in order to learn the magic of friendship?"
"I consider them as goddesses..." Radiant said, "I volunteered to be shrunk by Twilight so I can learn about friendship in a unique way."
"Oh dear," Celestia said, "I'll have a personal talk with Twilight. She needs to learn a new lesson. Now that you're here, would you like to learn about the goddess of harmony?"
"Wait," Radiant said, "Here's what I did. I did the Trial of Magic by helping Twilight to see if I am capable of helping goddesses. I was kind to Fluttershy's pets, including a butterfly who I helped restore it's former glory. I remained loyal to Rainbow Dash. I made Pinkie Pie laugh. I was honest to Applejack. And I was Rarity's little helper."
"So it looks like you have completed your trials," Celestia said, "And I'm sure you used magic along all the way."
"I did?" Radiant asked, confused. "Even though I didn't get a kiss from Rarity." He said, "She's so beautiful..." He blushed, "I can't help but think that she's a goddess. But Twilight thinks that you're the only goddess..." He said, concerned.
"She is a charmer. Many stallions fall for her." Celestia said, she heard Radiant's other argument, "Well that's true and not true. She forgets that my sister is also a goddess. She's the goddess of the night. But when you're small, it all depends on your perspective." She smiled at Radiant.
"Thanks, Celestia," Radiant said, "And can you help me out of this shoe prison. I can't afford to sacrifice myself."
"You will address her as your royal highness." A guard said as he stepped forward.
"Its alright." Celestia said. She took Radiant out. "I hope my royal hooves didn't smell too bad." She said.
"They didn't," Radiant said, "Anyways, can you take me to Rarity, your royal highness?"
"Of course," Celestia said, "But would you like to learn friendship from the goddess of harmony?"
"Might as well," Radiant said, "I just need love from Rarity. That's my goal before Twilight tied me up."
"Well here is your task, my phoenix is in the cage," Celestia said, "I need you to feed her. Show me what you have learned. The bird food is up in a cupboard. I'll take you to her. Are you up to the task, or did you want to do it?"
"I guess I'll do it," Radiant said, "I'm sure Rarity would be proud of me for being a generous gentlecolt."
Celestia smiled. "And Applejack would be proud for you being honest." She said. She picked Radiant up and placed him in her mane. This felt different. It felt like it was a memory foam mattress.
"Can you please have Rarity over while I do my care for your phoenix?" Radiant asked.
"Why is that if I may inquire? Did you just want two beautiful goddesses here for you to worship?" Celestia asked in a joking manner.
Radiant giggled. "If you say so," He said, "I'm sure you know how I feel when it comes to the goddess Mane Six. Anyways, I'll be ready to feed your phoenix."
Celestia walked over to where Philomena is. She laid Radiant on the ground. "Okay, show me what you have learned. Remember, the food is in the cupboard." She said.
"Okay," Radiant said, then asked, "What's her favorite food, by the way?"
"Use your best judgment." Celestia said.
"Okay," Radiant said, "I'll see you when you bring Twilight and Rarity. Also, in case Luna comes, tell her to refrain from using her Royal Canterlot Voice." He went to use magic to lift up the food and poured it into the dish and gave it to Philomena.
"You know, I'll have to talk to Twilight alone," Celestia said, "I can't have you or anypony else interfere."
"Yes." Radiant said.
"I'll get Rarity. Would you just like to stay with my sister for a little while?" Celestia asked.
"Sure," Radiant said, "I've been seeing her a lot in my dreams."
"That's because she's protecting you in your dreams," Celestia said, "But be warned, she may skip lessons and make you go straight to the worshiping part."
"Good thing I learned lessons from Twilight." Radiant said.
"But she may also be sleeping," Celestia said, "She tends to do that during the day."
"I can tell," Radiant said, "She is the Goddess of the Moon after all. But I can still give it a try."
"If she's asleep, I would recommend not waking her." Celestia said.
"Okay." Radiant said.
"If she is asleep, please I beg of you, just stay with one of my guards," Celestia said, "Luna will not only be mean to you, but she has a dream that if not finished, can ruin her mentally."
"Okay," Radiant said, "I'll be aware."
"Thank you. In fact..." Celestia said. She walked up to a guard and spoke with him.
The guard walked up to Radiant and took off his helmet revealing a blond mane. He was a charming stallion.
"Radiant, this is Golden Sprint." Celestia said, "He will be taking care of you if Luna can't."
Golden Sprint extended his hoof. "Its an honor to meet a friend of the Mane Six and your royal highness." He said to Radiant.
"A pleasure to meet you too, Golden Sprint." Radiant said.
"Okay. I'll be on my way," Celestia said, "Take him to Luna's quarters please." She walked away.
Golden Sprint picked Radiant up. "Would you like to ride in my mane?" He asked.
"Of course." Radiant said.
"You're a cute one being that size." Golden said, he placed Radiant in his mane and started walking.
"Yeah, thanks to Twilight's shrinking spell." Radiant said.
"Are you happy being small?" Golden asked.
"Yeah," Radiant said, "It unlocked my possibilities of friendship."
"I bet it fulfilled some of your fantasies too." Golden said.
"Yes" Radiant said.
Golden walked up the stairs and opened the door. Luna was laying down in her bed tossing and turning. "She's having another nightmare. It's normal for her." He whispered.
"How worrying," Radiant replied, "Let's hope she doesn't use her Royal Canterlot Voice at me."
"She won't. I wouldn't disturb her." Golden said, "The princess says it's a dream that keeps Equestria safe." He walked away.
Radiant waited patiently for Luna to wake up. He fell asleep.
