Tales from Tinies.

by MrAquino

Dipping Into Politics (Clash of suns)

Snow had covered just about everything on and around the Canterlot castle. It was about a week from Hearths Warming, and almost all of the Tinies, both staff and knight, were allowed to head back to their respectful homes for the holidays. Of course, a few stayed, probably because they lived close, or, sadly, they had no family or friends. Wyatt fell into the latter, unfortunately, having no idea where his family was at, or even if they were in Equestria. To not think about it, working outside, in the castle courtyard may help… it wasn't exactly his brightest moment.

Because of his size, he was covered by snow, only able to see where he was going if he hopped around, jumping above the thick layer of snow. In armor, it quickly became tiring, and he began to sweat, which made things worse. The snow was so cold, he felt like he was going to become a human popsicle. Not even his flaming sword helped, being quickly extinguished by snow that lands on it.

After a while, a certain flaming alicorn came outside during the night for a little break. Neigh, she didn’t care about the cold, nor how biting it was. She was the sun after all! Nightmare Star happily came outside, with not a care in the world. She was a little disappointed earlier in the week… she couldn’t visit Wyatt as she had planned earlier. And Daybreaker was still not confident in herself. But, as you know… being a royal does have its downsides. And politics… oh god the politics… so boring! Not to mention her well… lighter counterpart and her pranks.

As she walked through the snow, she kept her eyes peeled so she didn’t step on any tinies, which kept her eyes on the ground. She was on her way to her favorite spot… where nopony could find her. She had had a bit of a long day. Up ahead though, she couldn’t help but see some flashes of light though… as if someone was playing with a lighter. Star snickered, and decided to go show them some real fire. As she got closer though, she noticed that there was no lighter wielding pony… but a path carved through the snow… seemingly going nowhere and curving randomly. This meant it was made by a tiny... and one perhaps with a flaming sword.

“Oh Wyatt~” she cooed. “What are you doing out here little one?”

“Uh… hey, N-Nightmare Star.” Wyatt answered with a nervous looking smile. He didn’t run this time around, just turned around, looked her up and down, a little nervously. “Just g-g-getting some fresh air… and got lost.” Star raised a hoof. “Hm… not gonna run away are you?” she said. “Fine by me. And yes… you look terribly lost right now.” she adds, removing him from the snow. “After all… you were in snow deeper than you are tall~”

Star uses her wings to blow the snow away around them, and blow it off of Wyatt as well, as she set him back down. It didn’t clear a large area, but it was enough. It didn’t fix the fact that it was still incredibly cold out. “Thanks, and yeah, that wasn't a s-s-smart thing.” Wyatt replied. “Say, where were you heading to?” Star didn’t respond, instead she just sat down next to him. Rather close too… and filling the most of right half of his peripheral vision with her rump. “It’s a secret… and it doesn’t matter anyway. I’d rather have company.”

“Yeah… s-s-same, actually.” Wyatt's voice sounded a bit... forlorn. Star turned to him and examined him a bit. Something seemed off about his voice… best not for her to inquire about it, she felt. Rather, she picked Wyatt up again, from the ground, and hold him in front of her face, to examine his armor a bit. “Uh… C-can you put me in your mouth? I'm f-f-freezing.”

Star recoiled in shock. He… already wanted in? Wait… he wanted in, in the first place. Star’s lips curled into a big, predatory smile. “Oh my Wyatt… what’s this now?” she cooed, getting much closer. Licking her lips loudly in front of him, she continues “Mr. “I’m afraid of being eaten, circa two weeks ago”... wants me to eat him?” she said, as she continued to look him over like he’s a very tasty looking piece of cake… or pie.

“I-I'm f-f-freezing, miss… and y-you don't want me t-to freeze, d-do you?” Wyatt took his helmet off, then his gauntlets, really showing he knew what she liked. His teeth chattered as wind blew to his exposed arms, though, he continued to take his armor off. Star watched with bemusement, capturing each piece he took off of himself, and moving ever closer each time. Once Wyatt was down to his underwear again and freezing, Star’s muzzle made contact with his body. Then, her lips parted once more, as Star’s mouth slowly opened wide to take him, just like a shark’s maw.

As soon as the maw opened, the cold was blasted away around him with a blast of hot, humid heat. A small bit of warm saliva came out and landed on his body as well. Star continued the lean forward until he was behind her teeth, where the jaws would then shut around him, and the magic release him, onto the warm, exquisitely soft, slimy tongue of hers. As the jaws shut and saliva drizzled around him, the last of the cold was banished from around the human, replacing it only with the soft, comfortable warmth of her maw.

“Ohhhhh~...” Wyatt moaned, shuddering as he hugged her tongue. He could feel his fingers once again, allowing him to grip onto the tongue. With his strength, he grabbed her tongue and hugged it tightly, doing everything to be warm in her maw, lightly rubbing himself against it even. Star’s tongue was more than happy to oblige with his cuddling, the mare purring with every embrace of his, trying to rub himself into her tongue. This was in stark contrast to what she had experienced from Wyatt earlier, she noted.

However, she had no need to stay out here now. She had a tiny human in her mouth, whom seemed to enjoy being there even. Gracefully rising from her position, Star stood and walked inside the castle, walking at a slow, leisurely pace as she cuddled the tiny human right back with her tongue, carrying his gear in her magic.

“Heh… I'm kinda glad I'm with you, actually.” Wyatt said, trying his best to not let go of her tongue. “Not because I would've frozen, but other... reasons.” Star didn’t immediately acknowledge him, but rather continued to sweetly cuddle him, with even more vigor. She sped up a little bit as she made her way to her own abode, her outfitted guest bedroom. Truth be told, when he said that, she felt a few butterflies well up in her chest, but she didn’t know what the feeling was.

When Star made it into her room, it was much as it was before, with the notable addition of even more black music discs, a lava lamp or two (she was transfixed by these when she saw them), and some spare rolls of film for her camera. The lava lamps cast a more reddish glow in the room. Star settled down in her bed, and closed her eyes, as she suckled on the human she had in her mouth for a bit.

“Uh… Star?” Wyatt noticed the strange shift. “I uh… I'm not sure if they would like to, some of them anyway… but I hope my family and friends get to know you as much as I do.” he told her. “Maybe they’ll get to know me on the outside… yes.” she said. “But as for where you are now, my mouth, my stomach… only you are allowed in there. Make sure Quinton realizes this, especially.” she said with a giggle, hugging him with her tongue.

“Well… yeah, I doubt they'd be comfortable if anypony tried to eat them… and I can't control Quinton. He's not gonna listen to me us at all, not until you do eat him.” Star giggled. “Oh, I’d like to see Fergus getting eaten. Perhaps next time I see Celestia and him together… hehehe…” she said. “And if I happen upon Daybreaker, I’ll feed Quinton to her. Those two… I think they’re made for each other. Ha.”

“Eh, you can feed Quinton to Daybreaker. Fergus isn't much of a bad guy. A bit rough, yes, but he's a real soldier, unlike us. Besides, you know Celestia would spit him out. She's not gonna swallow him immediately.” Star giggled again. “Then I’ll force her to swallow him. He’s the one running around, all ‘Oh Wyatt don’t be a horse fucker.’ I’m sure he’s not a bad guy… but that mouth and temper of his… easy entertainment… for me anyway. Besides… I hear all tinies taste good… Celestia may have a strong inclination to… have him stay awhile.” she said, licking her lips. “And before you say anything, no, I’m not going to be eating any other humans to test that theory out.”

“Eh, you are stubborn that way, but I appreciate it.” Wyatt began to caress her tongue. “And Fergus isn't too wrong. I mean… we are d-d-da-... n… nevermind. It's… well… very weird. Not bad, not by a long shot, just… strange is all.” he said, strangely choking on the last part. He released her tongue from his hands, and got on his knees, to rub the smooth surface with it. He also embedded his face a bit into the tip of her tongue. All this action made Nightmare Star murr quite loudly, the tip of her tongue curling around his head a little bit.

Again, she noted the stark contrast in actions, and perhaps the bit that Wyatt choked on earlier. She didn’t bother to inquire about that bit, but what did pique her interest was how willing Wyatt was continuing to be. The tip of her tongue released his head, although he was still nuzzling it just like he was a pony. Instead, Star rose from her bed again, and looked in her mirror. A big, evil grin forming on her face, she then opened her mouth wide, and stared straight at the human she had inside of it.

Wyatt saw his reflection in the mirror, and nervously chuckled, seeing Star's evil grin. “Uh… h-happy?” He asked as he patted the tip of her tongue. Indeed, in the mirror, Wyatt did look quite small, and the sharp teeth of the mare hung ominously over him, not helped by the slit eyes and their laser focus on him. Rather than respond to him that way though, Star pushed him back with her tongue more towards the center, with a bit of an evil laugh as well. “Star! Let me out! Let me out! Don’t eat me! Ahhhhhhh…” she mocked him, opening her mouth once more to gauge his reaction to what she said.

“H-hey! I wasn't used to being eaten back then.” Wyatt replied with a blush on his cheeks. “You've never been eaten by something the size of a skyscraper, but I bet you'd act the same!” he retorted. Star just laughed at him once more. “SPIT ME OUT! SPIT ME OUT, NOW!” she said, as she started to hyperventilate. “NO! SOMEONE! HELP! SHE’S EATING ME!!! HELP!!!” she mocked even more.

Wyatt made an annoyed look as he made an, admittedly, adorable looking pouty face. “Not funny...” he said, looking away from the mirror. “Very funny. For me.” she said. “And adorable. Why, the heat coming from your cute little dimpled human cheeks is almost too much for me to bear~” she told him. “I should make them red more often, don’t you agree? Still looking as attractive as ever Wyatt, by the way. Actually… it would appear that someone has been working out? Extra muscle does go a long way.”

“Uh… K-kinda… it's standard health routine and exercise. Gotta be healthy and ready.” Star rolled him over on her tongue, and sat him up with her magic. “What are those little ridges on your stomach? Ooooh… I bet human women would fawn over those for sure~” she continued to tease. Wyatt couldn’t help but blush even brighter.

“Uh… Y-you know I don't show off, right? And I've been so busy, I haven't exactly went into Canterlot to meet other people… or ponies…” he said, his cheeks only getting redder. “Mmmm… oh well..” she cooed. “You have me little one… I’ll keep you company.” she said, then shutting her mouth. Done with teasing him, it would seem. “After all, I do give you some place wet… warm… soft…”

“If you're gonna swallow me, then by all means, I'm down for it.” Star snickered. “You go too fast little Wyatt. Of course I’m going to swallow you… but later. I had some… ideas.” she said, rising from the bed. Without even taking a step, she teleported to the castle kitchens.

She opened up the fridges and looked in the cabinets… and found herself a selection of sauces. Wyatt has such a delicious flavor… why not augment it? So, she grabbed herself small cups of four different sauces. Caramel sauce for ice cream, chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, and maple syrup. The latter especially… if she wants to eat Wyatt for breakfast. She put the sauces on a small metal plate, and then headed back to her room.

“What are you doing!? Where are we!? Can I see what's happening!?” Star again laughed, more evilly than last time. That means she had a little surprise in store for him… and that wasn’t always a good thing. Reaffirming this, Star adds “Oh dear… it’s a little surprise. Must you struggle and be frightened by my every unexpected move? Regardless… I think you might like it.” she cooed to him.

“And by me, you mean yourself? And I'm alright with surprises… but teleporting like that is not settling for me!” he said. As Star got back in the room, his first hint was the sound of her setting the tray of sauces down on her nightstand, and looking over them. “In that case… I should teleport more often… to get you used to it. After all… you are used to being in my mouth now… unless you can just barely contain those screams of terror. Nooooo… don’t let me fall in! Don’t eat me! Hahahaha!” she teased again.

“I'm used to your mouth, Star. I'm not used to teleporting… it feels weird all over. And what are you pulling out? Are you having dinner?” Star’s smile becomes wide. “Oh Wyatt… I’m skipping right to desert. Something that.... ehehe… you’re a part of.” she informed him, before pulling the drool covered human out of her mouth, and rubbing him in her fur to dry him off a bit. She then lowered him into the cup of chocolate syrup, where her head loomed over him… and he was covered neck down in thick chocolate, difficult to move in, like a hot tub of thick liquid.

Wyatt looked down at where he was at, a bit confused. “Chocolate? Wait… are you making me finger food? Or… hoof food? … What's the term for dippable snack here?” Star’s head comes down, her fangy smile filling his vision outside of the cup of chocolate. “I think the term would maybe be a pocky, or something like that. Regardless though…” she said, pulling the chocolate covered human out of the cup. “You have such an amazing taste Wyatt. Why not… combine it with other wonderful tastes? I could eat you alone for dessert… yes… but that’s boring!” she said. She leaned forward, and slowly licked the chocolate off his front side, murring at the double explosion of flavor she got from it.

Wyatt shivered from the feeling. He felt quite dirty… literally. “Other tastes? Like what?” Star spun him around, so he could look at the tray with the three sauces on it. “See for yourself Wyatt…” she told him, as she then slowly and methodically licked off his back. After she was done with that, she turned him back around. “Oh my Wyatt… I’ve made quite a mess on you haven’t I? Better clean it!” she said, before extending her tongue out, and tossing him onto it, and pulling him back in. Once he was in, he was covered in another slimy liquid (Star’s saliva), and rolled around on Star’s tongue and pressed up against her palate a few times, for a few minutes.

A few minutes later, Star stopped playing with him in her mouth, and announced “All clean!” Wyatt spat out some chocolate and spit that got into his mouth. “Yeah, but not for long. And I thought you'd get peppermint as well to fit in with this time.” Star pulled him out. “Mmmmm… maybe. Maybe later. For now though…” she said, then lowering him into strawberry syrup. It wasn’t as thick as the chocolate syrup before it, but it was still quite hard to move in. Star set him in the cup… and let him stay there for a few minutes, to let him… marinate.

“... I'm not exactly a sponge, Star. Or are you trying to get rid of all that chocolate in your mouth?” He asked. “Oh yes… I’m aware. But it’s fun to play with my favorite little tiny… and food… at once.” she said. After another minute in there, Star pulls him out of his tub of syrup, and tilts her head back, mouth opened wide, as she dangles him over it, with syrup dripping off of him as she slowly lowers him in…

“You REALLY like to drag this along, don't you?” he said, idly kicking his feet as he’s lowered into her awaiting maw. Star doesn’t say anything, as right as he’s an inch above her lips, her magic releases him, sending him plummeting into her mouth… for a grand total of one second, before her tongue saves him from going into her throat, by pinning him against her palate. Star brings her head back down. “Oh dear… I’ve made quite a mess haven’t I? Oh Wyatt… I’m afraid I’m going to have to clean you extra well.” she said with a laugh, as her tongue pinned him to the roof of her mouth again, and most of the sauce was sucked off of him in one go. Star’s tongue then did as it did last time, rolling him around to get him cleaned off again.

But you know… to just do the same as last time would be boring. Rather than pull him out, Star’s tongue pinned him against her palate again, positioning him so he could see her throat. With him pinned, Star made a point to quite loudly swallow, the glrk resonating throughout her maw, letting him watch her throat take the strawberry syrup and extra saliva down into the mare.

“Ugh… Sorry, I'm not used to being dipped in sauces. This feels really weird… I'm not sure if I like it or not.” Releasing him from her hold, Star pulls him out once more. “Well now… I do have just one more sauce I wish to try you in... but I’ll say this much. Dipped Wyatt… has to my favorite way to enjoy my favorite treat.” she cooed to him, giving him a friendly lick up his side, before bringing the last cup up to him, and dipping him in the caramel. This one was especially thick, and rich, going right up to his neck, and even going in his mouth just a little bit, tasting a bit like Werther’s… mixed with a hint of coffee…

“So sticky… I can barely move, Star! And I think some got into my hair!” he complained as he tried to squirm in what felt like mud. “Oh don’t worry. You know very well where you’re going next.” she said. Letting him stay there for another 10 seconds, she pulls the cup away from him, with him absolutely coated in the caramel sauce. “Oooooh… now I just I have to tie you to a stick don’t I?” she said. An evil smile forming on her face, she didn’t make a show of putting him in her mouth this time. Rather, she just teleported him right into it, right in the center of her tongue, where she’d let him sit, as saliva dripped all over him.

Wyatt grabbed onto her tongue, caught off guard by the teleporting, looking around wildly. “Really!? You had to teleport me in!?” Star simply chuckled, and said. “Why not? It’s fun to find new ways to eat you.” Her tongue then hugged around him for a good few seconds, taking off some of the caramel and distributing it across the surface of her tongue. She rolled him around a bit, the friction of him sliding taking off even more caramel. Sliding him to the tip of her tongue then, she pins him to the roof of her mouth, as she swallows again and suckles the rest of the caramel off of him, swallowing it with let another loud and proud gulp on her part.

“Alright, fine. Y'happy? Experimenting with my flavor like that? Can I get out now? Maybe use the shower and wash up?” Star however, had other plans. “Yes… I think that will be fine for now. For tasting anyway. However, I have a much better idea than that.” she said, with an evil laugh, making Wyatt a little nervous again. “Starting with… some cuddles. In my mouth of course.” she told him, as her tongue gently hugged him once more.

“Um… Star? As much as I appreciate a good tongue hug… and uh… bath, your affection seems to be a little bit more… well… ecstatic than usual.” Star turned and faced the mirror, opening her mouth again. “Well that’s a simple explanation Wyatt.” she said, as her tongue released him from the hug. “Because tonight... you’re spending the night… inside of me.” she declared to him, as her tongue rocked him back and forth, which was visible in the mirror.

“W-wait! You're gonna keep me… in your stomach… for the entire night!?” Wyatt looked petrified. “Yes. Well… I suppose I could also keep you in my mouth, but… you know… inside of me. Yes.” she said. “Someplace nice and warm for you to lay in. Don’t tell me you’re afraid of me digesting you again, even though you’ve slept in there for more than an hour before.” she said.

“Star! You can't do this!” Wyatt complained, as he crawled his way out of her mouth, and onto her muzzle, looking right into her eyes. “And what’s stopping me, little Wyatt?” she said, her magic pulling him off her muzzle, and holding him in the air to face her, for a moment anyway. He was then put back in her mouth, with a little “mmmm” from Star as she did. Star kept her mouth shut this time, so he couldn’t crawl out again.

Wyatt did his best to keep himself out. “I-I got work tomorrow! Y-you can't keep me from my job! This is kidnapping!” Star just laughed at his case. “Oh Wyatt… excuses again? Well then, you’ll just have to go to sleep early then, and I’ll drop you off where you need to be in the morning. But there is no way you’re getting away from me little one.” she told him, her tongue pushing him away from her teeth. “Those beds you have in the bunker are terrible excuses for something to sleep on anyway.”

Wyatt grabbed onto her tongue, desperately clawing for freedom. “Star! Don't! Stop this, right now!” Star just laughed at him, again. “Oh come on Wyatt, you have no reason to be acting like that. Enough. You know it’s safe inside me, and I’ve told you I’d drop you off where you need to be in the morning. Why do you insist on struggling against me now?” she asked. Star did enjoy Wyatt’s little struggles against her tongue though, even as it tipped back toward her throat, then abruptly stopped to have him slide towards the tip of her tongue again.

“Because I'm on the lookout for my family!!! What if they arrive, but I'm in your stomach!? You're not certainly gonna eat them, but I need to see them!” Wyatt pleaded. Star then responded, rather bluntly. “Honey, you’re just sleeping inside of me for the night. That’s it. If your parents arrive while you’re sleeping, you’re not going to know either way, because you’ll be sleeping. Wyatt, do you not trust me or something? Is that the problem?”

“No! … I mean, yes! I mean…” He groaned loudly “You're so stubborn, you know that, right?” Star then smiled. “Well thank you little Wyatt!” she said with a little prideful giggle. “Yes I am very stubborn. You are too though. We’re just the perfect pair aren’t we then? Hahaha.” she said to him. “Come on Wyatt, you aren’t always easy to work with either.” she added, as her tongue gently hugged and caressed him, to comfort him.

“I'm only like that because you thrust me in these situations! If you were slower, then we wouldn't be having these problems.” Star smiled. “Well, I don’t know about you, but there’s not as much fun in it when there isn’t a little element of surprise to it.” she responded, suddenly tilting her head back so he’d go sailing into her throat, only for her tongue to block his entry, and for her head to be brought back down again, Star’s tongue laying flat again. It would appear she did it just to make a point.

“I hate surprises that startle me! I'd rather live a boring life than one where I have no idea what's going to happen next.” Star scoffed at that. “I’d have to disagree. My life is boring outside of enjoying your company. Celestia and me share that opinion too… the lives of royals are monotonous. You don’t want that. Besides, as a soldier, you should learn to expect surprises, you know.” she told him.

“Those Wings of Liberty people have disappeared in the last 6 months. I doubt they were even real, now that I think about it.” Star shrugged. “Heard about them. I’m quite sure they are real though. But that’s a conversation for another time. Now Wyatt… I’ll be nice and let you pick, little one. You can either sleep in my mouth… or in my stomach. I’m more privy to the latter, but this time the choice is yours.” she told him. “Either way, you’re going to be in a soft, warm and safe place.”

Wyatt looked down into her throat, then back to her mouth. He nervously swallowed, as he scooted himself down into her throat. “A-alright… go ahead and swallow me.” Star purred, and happily obliged, tilting her head back a bit, and pulling on her necklaces. With a swift gulp, Wyatt was sent down into Nightmare Star for the third time. Star watched in the mirror, and traced the little lump he made in her neck with her hoof, as it slowly made it’s way into her body.

“Mmmmmm…” she murred, closing her eyes, and removing her crown, and hoof shoes, followed by teleporting off her big chest plate, and finally, her necklaces. As Wyatt fell into her stomach, Star rubbed her belly, and curled up snugly, jostling Wyatt around a little bit. After she got comfy on her bed, laying on her side, she gave her belly a little rub, feeling the tiny human in her belly with a smile.

Wyatt looked around her stomach again, seeing all the small movements the walls, with liquids falling into the ‘lake’ below. He calmed down, as he knew he was going to be inside of her for a while. But something in him made realize it was gonna be weird… sleeping inside of someone. “... So… do you sleep walk? Or do weird actions in your sleep?” he asked. “No Wyatt… I don’t do any of those things. Even if I did, it shouldn’t affect you in there. All warm and soft…” she trailed off. Something about having him inside her all night made her feel… well, warm inside.

“Oh… just asking… don't want to wake up to see you ate an entire month's worth of bacon in here or something.” That made Star giggle. “I don’t know what this bacon stuff is, but I understand what you’re saying. Now, I have a question for you. When do you have to be to your, job, training, whatever it is you do?” she asked, rubbing her belly again.

“I-in the morning, like always, ma'am. Around 8 o'clock.” Star licked her lips, and said “Noted. Then I’ll be up at 6:30… haha, Celestia insists that’s sleeping in, would you believe it?” she said. “But then again… I won’t have to eat breakfast will I, when I have a Wyatt in me?” she teased him. “I’d recommend you get comfy in there… so you can be up at that time, nice and early… and I can enjoy you for breakfast, and get you ready for your knightly duties in your cute little armor.”

“... Right… I-I… I'll be a part of your pancakes, I guess.” Wyatt laid on the stomach floor, getting himself comfortable, snuggling himself into a fold in her stomach walls. Star's natural warmth and sounds, not to mention soft flesh, made him go to sleep much faster than he normally would, though, his eyes opened occasionally to fight back to stay up. “Mmmm… I was thinking more dipping, and maybe having you as part of a yogurt. Something light.” she told the barely awake human. After a few minutes of no response though, Star began humming a light, but deep tune, adding the sounds of her lovely voice to her stomach, which finally put the human to a deep, restful sleep, better than he’d had in years.

---

Wyatt woke up with a snort. Despite not having an alarm, his mind kept waking him up, insisting he was late, even though he knew it was early. Of course, he panicked, realizing he was in a stomach… but calmed down, remembering he was in Nightmare Star. Her stomach was no ordinary stomach, after all. The moment of panic ensured that he’d wake up quickly enough. He wasn't sure how to respond, but he poked at her stomach wall. “Star? You awake?”

The stomach moved a little forward, but soon he was greeted with her voice. “Why good morning little Wyatt!” she said, quite cheerfully to him. Star had just woken up a few minutes ago herself, thanks to feeling the little squirms of Wyatt waking up in there. Looking at the time, she yawned. “6:35. Oh my. 5 minutes later than expected. Oh well. Celestia’s going to complain at me anyway. I trust you slept well in there, little Wyatt?”

“Well… yeah, I did… let's just get the breakfast thing over with. I gotta eat something to be focused.” Star yawned once more. “Come on Wyatt, we’ve got over an hour before you must go to work. I’d like to cuddle with you a little more… besides, it’ll make Celestia especially irate if I come in even later.” she said, as she rubbed her belly again. “I really love having you inside me… Wyatt...” she said, with a bit of neediness her voice. Star then put her hoof to her mouth… she didn’t expect that to come out with that kind of tone… somepony wasn’t quite awake yet, it would seem.

“... Star? Did you just… use that tone?” His question only made the powerful alicorn blush, her normally white cheeks turning pink. “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about…” she said, with her normal tone of voice. Mostly.

Wyatt smirked. “You really do care about me, don't you? And not just as a snack?” he asked, rubbing her stomach walls. Star snorted, and snickered right back. “Of course I care about you, Wyatt. Otherwise… oh shut up.” she told him, as her stomach squeezed him out, back into her esophagus, and eventually, into her soft maw once more.

“Hmm… you know, I have tomorrow off. Perhaps you'd like me to be inside you all day?” Star put her hoof to her face… having him for that long? That would be… wonderful... Star’s tongue started rocking him back and forth, giving the human a light caress in her mouth as she thought about it. However… she never did say anything, other than a light “mmmm” at his taste.

“You know you want it. You love having me in you, afterall.” Teasing her however, would only go so far this time. As her tongue continued to cuddle him and caress him, Wyatt decided to nuzzle it with his face, and knead it a little with his hands, which made her tongue stop what it was doing, and lay flat. A chuckle emitted from the mare then. “Oh ho ho Wyatt… that’s not going to work a second you know. Let me ask you this, then, little one. Do you like being inside of me? Around me, snack or not?”

“Well... you're not a bad gal, so there's that. I mean, it does get annoying when you eat me sometimes, but I do appreciate being around you.” Star smiled, and closed her eyes. She didn’t acknowledge him with her voice, but her tongue did give him a big, tight hug. Meanwhile, Star teleported her big chestplate and necklaces onto herself.

“So… what's for breakfast?” Star responded simply. “For me? It’s you, dipped in syrup and a side of yogurt. For you… hmm… well, I’ll grab some berries and such, and you can eat those. But… let’s wait until 7 for that… it’s 6:45 right now. Just so Celestia is annoyed at me.” she said.

“You really love to push Celestia's patience. Tell me, do you do anything else but troll Celestia & Fergus and attend conferences? Surely, there's gotta be hobbies you enjoy doing that doesn't hurt or troll anyone.” Star cuddled him with her tongue for a moment. “Listening to, and collecting music, cooking…” she said, her smile rising as an evil laugh came her throat. “...eating you…” she said. “I do have royal duties of my own though.”

“Already figured you'd love to eat me. But I bet you might get along with my mom and dad; my old man has a collection of records back mom, and my mom could make recipes from very little ingredients.” Star smiled. “Ah well… of course you’d love lovely parents… now I’m wondering how they’d react to oh… your son hanging out with a giant sun pony who frequently eats him.” she said, as she put on her crown, and shoes.

“I'm not sure, Star… which is why I ask that if you do meet them, please do not eat me in front of them. I want them to know their son is alright, and you're not evil as you may look like.” Star fake pouted. “Aw… I would love to cuddle you with my tongue in front of your parent though. Oh well… I suppose I could wait in that situation. Maybe a few kisses and licks.” she said.

“Thanks… Nightmare Star.” Wyatt wrapped his arms around the tip of her tongue, giving it the best hug he could muster. This made the mare purr and hug him right back, tongue curling back to embrace him, and the tip caressing his face. Star would hold him there for a good ten minutes, as her cheeks took on a rosy color once more, especially as Wyatt rubbed her tongue some more.

“Mmmm… alright… we need to go to breakfast…” she said, almost sounding a little disappointed, that she had to well… stop cuddling him like she was. “Yeah, I'm getting really hungry, ma'am.” Wyatt replied, getting up and walking to her teeth. Star rose from her bed, and pushed him back playfully with her tongue. Getting on her hooves, she walked over to the door, and made her way out, to the royal dining room.

Celestia had finished making her special Silly Face Pancakes for Luna and the other Alicorns living with them… including Nightmare Star's. Their pancakes were made to look like them, but in a silly way that would make them laugh. For Luna, hers had a grumpy face to it (a surprisingly accurate representation of what look her sister was giving her at the moment); Nightmare Moon's had her giving a sly looking smile; Daybreaker’s had large, nervous looking eyes. For Nightmare Star, Celestia just put on fake devil horns with a stick figure representing Wyatt in it's mouth. She already knew Nightmare Star was gonna be a pain in her arse, as Fergus would say. Maybe she should keep Wyatt for herself… or see if his family was here… or maybe invite Neighsay along, just to see her reaction with somepony that saw Humans as pests. It was hard to say what would work.

As it would turn out though, Celestia’s assumptions were correct. Star strolled in at 7, already 15 minutes late. And she didn’t say anything this morning, she seemed to be busy with something… and if the sounds of swishing and sloshing coming from her mouth were any indication, it was quite clear why she was late this morning. Star sat down at her spot at the table, next to Daybreaker, who turned away from her, and opened her eyes to look at her pancakes. She did emit a small giggle, as she looked at the food, but she wasn’t even paying attention to Celestia. Further cluing her in, was the fact that Star inserted the blueberry eyes of her pancakes into her mouth, but didn’t chew them.

“Nightmare Star, I have no problem if you bring guests to the table, but please spit Wyatt out.” Celestia spoke nonchalantly. Wyatt began eating the blueberries he was given, quietly, feeling a little awkward. Star’s eyes then met Celestia’s, as she looked up and face her. “No.” Her tongue snaked out of her mouth, as she blew a raspberry at Celestia with a smile.

“Star… you need to act your age. And I don't mean you act like you're dead.” Celestia responded. “Wyatt is staying in my mouth for the time being. You can’t tell me what to do with him. Get your own honey.” she told her, blowing another raspberry at her. Star’s tongue cuddled Wyatt even more as he ate his blueberries.

“Right… well, if you're that embarrassed to show off your boyfriend, I can understand that.” Celestia replied with a mischievous grin that made the other alicorns gasp at her remark. “Boyfriend? Is that what you wish to call Wyatt then?” Star said, smiling right back at her. “Jealous much? That I have a tiny that I can eat and hold close, while you haven’t had a mate in centuries? Haha.”

“So we aren't a thing?” Wyatt asked past Star’s lips. “And I've had one before.” Celestia replied. “It didn't end well.”

“Y-you know, I'd like to meet Wyatt.” Daybreaker spoke. “He sounds like a nice fellow.”

“Indeed.” Nightmare Moon added. “We're not gonna eat him; I've already got two kids that I can eat.”

“Alright, fine. But only because you and Moon said so. If you do try to eat him, you’re going through a wall.” she told the alicorns around the table. She then pulled Wyatt out of her mouth, and set him down on her plate next to the pancakes, showing to the world the little human, with only his underpants, and big blueberries in hand.

Wyatt blushed, using the blueberry to cover himself a bit. “Uh… h-hi.” He waved, looking at all the Alicorns surrounding him. Being in the presence of one Alicorn was intimidating, but surrounded by four others… he felt like a bug. Celestia was the first to lean down to him. “Morning, Wyatt. Still here for the holidays?”

Star meanwhile, looked up to Celestia. It was hard to tell at first… but one thing was certain. Her fur was beginning to quite slowly, take on a slightly more pinkish color… one that was only growing. “Perfect.” she thought, as she leaned down to Wyatt herself, and gave him a kiss, just to make him blush… and perhaps answer his earlier question.

Wyatt blushed hard. “Did you… kiss me?” He asked. Luna spoke up with a tired look in her eyes. “I'm no Princess Cadence… but I believe that was.”

“Aww! So adorable!” Daybreaker squealed. “Indeed.” Nightmare Moon commented. “Oh Daybreaker… I should introduce you to Quinton. Maybe feed him to you. He swoons over me. Perhaps he’ll love another flaming alicorn, like yourself.” she said. “And to answer your question Wyatt…” she said, pulling him over to her with her hoof, and giving him another kiss, then slow lick up his front side.

Wyatt shivered from that lick. “So… maybe?” He asked. Daybreaker had a nervous smile on her face. “Um… I'm not so sure. I'm not exactly great at this… pred thing… and I don't know this Quinton character that much.” Star laughed. “Perhaps I can take you to meet him, then.” she said. She continued to not answer Wyatt, as she continued to lick him like a cat licks its paws.

Wyatt chuckled a bit by Nightmare Star's loving behavior. “I knew you were a softie on the inside. Guess my flavor brings out the best of you… mostly.” Star nuzzled him. “Much to Celestia’s chagrin, yes.” she said, looking up to Celestia again. Pink dye was still working. She then picked him up with her tongue, and slurped him back into her wet maw. “Besides… at least my first experience with eating a tiny, wasn’t through me eating cake like a pig, unaware of your presence and covering you in chewed food.”

“For starters, it was a sandwich,” Celestia corrected. “And secondly, unlike you, I didn't decide to keep Carlos against his will, forcing him to be my one and only tiny snack. I will admit, I probably should've paid attention to avoid that scenario, but I was busy looking over the laws in whether or not our subjects should sell tinies in restaurants and if there should be an open age range.”

On the other end of the table, Star was rolling her eyes, and moving her lips up and down in mockery of Celestia. “Even though Wyatt is used to me eating him?” she laughed. “And besides, you didn’t keep Carlos against his will… instead you kept me against my will for hundreds of years in a ring. Hmmm… I wonder where I get that from, Pinkie Pie?” she said, looking at Celestia’s fur again. She was getting close to Princess Cadance in how pink she was.

Celestia looked at herself, but let out an annoyed sigh. “You should be thanking me, Star. If I wasn't what I was, Wyatt here would most likely be nothing more but property to some untouchable snob, and you would still be trapped in that ring… or summoned by Quinton.” Star didn’t falter. “Yes, I’ll give you that much. But hey, it’s nice to know you’d let me sit in that ring for hundreds of years more, until someone freed me.” she said, a slight undertone of anger in her voice this time. “Like I said, I wonder where I got that from?”

“I was actually going to release you sooner than you expected, Star. You prove to be more like Discord than the last time.” Star just cocked her brow at her. “Oh, how generous of you.” she said, sarcastically. “Is that why you left me in your dusty closet, hidden away in the darkness until some tiny would find me?” she said, rising from the table. “And you wonder why I don’t like being around you. Wyatt, and music is my escape from being around you. Because if I don’t behave to your liking, you’ll happily just pour me into a ring again and forget about me.” she said to her. She then laughed at her. “It’s funny Celestia, how you try to be all nice and motherly, with your little moral high ground, yet you can be just as cruel and unforgiving. At least Discord got to be put in a nice garden and Moon got be in the sky every night.”

“Uh… c-calm down, Star.” Wyatt spoke, patting her tongue. “I-I'm not a psychiatrist, but I think you should both talk to each other, and share your feelings with each other.” Star did calm down just a little bit, cuddling her human with her tongue some. “Talking to Celestia in my experience is like talking to a brick wall.” she said, simply.

“Oh! Excuse me!?” Celestia replied, dropping her calm demeanor. “I'm the brick wall!? I'm trying to help you shape up to be presentable to the public, and you're calling ME stubborn!?” The other alicorns quietly scooted back, ducking, and quickly & quietly exited the room. Star still did not falter in the face of the other’s anger. “Yes, you are a brick wall. The only reason you’re trying to shape me up is because you couldn’t keep me in your closet for any longer. You won’t acknowledge any criticism sent your way either.”

“I can't take criticism!? You're the one literally acting like a child! Throwing insult after insult that I swear to Tartarus, you're on repeat like a broken record!”

“Uh… gals?” Wyatt spoke, feeling uncomfortable by this argument.

“And you can’t answer basic questions Celestia, even though I repeatedly ask them. No, you must dodge and dodge them. It’s pathetic that you can’t take little jabs and insults. Like I said, you’d just keep me in your dusty closet if you had any say, wouldn’t you?” she said.

“Gals?” Wyatt tried to speak up, but it fell on deaf ears.

“I'm the pathetic one!? I'm trying to do everything I can to ensure humans get fair rights and a voice to speak with, but all you do is keep Wyatt in your mouth, sucking on him like a pacifier! Shall I change your diapers while we're at this!?”

“Please, stop.” Wyatt spoke through near panic attacked tone.

Star then laughed at her. “Like I said Celestia. Brick. Wall. I directly asked you if you’d have kept me in your closet. And you dodged it. Again.” she said. She then teleported to the fridge, and got a cup of yogurt. “This conversation is over. Goodbye.” she said, then teleporting back into her room and onto her bed, and letting out a slow breath.

“... I’m sorry you had to see that, Wyatt.”

“... I heard it, really.” Wyatt tried to joke, but knew it failed. “Star… I think… you should apologize to Celestia, and ask her, politely, on why she did that to you. You're not entirely wrong… but you should open your ears a bit more.” he said. “Wyatt, right now? Celestia’s face is the last one I want to see. She won’t listen to anything I say to her, why is this going to be any different? If I had any say, I’d go back to your planet, as far away from her as possible. I’d rather be around Fergus than her, or better yet, a world of humans who don’t expect me to be royalty because I have wings and a horn.”

“Well… not now… but please, this isn't healthy for either of you. Look, I'm not sure what you are to Celestia, but you need to find the sweet compensation area for you two.” Wyatt patted her tongue. “I'll be there by your side… maybe… most likely in your mouth.” Star quietly cuddled him with her tongue. “She’ll never understand it, Wyatt. Having you inside of me… it’s almost therapeutic to me. Hmph.”

“She also doesn't know what it's like for my kind to live in fear by giants that want to eat you. … Have you heard about my first mission ever with my squad? How we took down a dragon?” Star nodded. “Yes, you have told me about this before, I believe. But, what does that have to do with me and Celestia’s little quarrel?”

“Because we had our own quarrel, as we were unsure if we'd be successful or not. Seeing all those people, finally free, made us proud of ourselves, and landing on the news about it… I swear, I almost cried. But you two, you're a part of a squad, and you need to work together to stop this metaphorical dragon that is your anger together. You don't want to be consumed by your rage, do you?”

“No, I don’t wish to be consumed by my anger. I’d rather be away from her. I get along with the others just fine, even Luna who was very apprehensive around me initially. But it’s Celestia I can’t stand. She’s always bitching at me. It never feels like I can do anything right in her eyes. So why bother?” she asked him.

“Because if you don't, what's gonna happen if anything happens to you and the others aren't around? Even if I'm there, I'm too small to help drag you. Celestia may be tough on you, but so is Fergus, and I'm sure it's because, like my commander, she's hard on you because she cares about you deeply. It may not be seen immediately, but I'm very sure Celestia wants you to succeed in where she failed.”

“As much as I don’t like Fergus, I don’t think he’d put you in a ring for hundreds of years. He’d probably stab the person that suggested it, while calling them every vulgar insult in the book.” she retorted. “I don’t call that care Wyatt. I’m just her little skeleton in the closet whom someone accidentally released...” she said, feeling tears well up in her eyes.

“Maybe not… like I said, you really should talk to her. I'll help you in any way I can, even as morale support.” Star then hugged him with her tongue, and kept him there for a few minutes. “Maybe I will… later. Right now, again. Don’t want to talk to her.” she said. “I don’t even have much of an appetite anymore to be honest.”

“Then maybe I can go and talk to her? See what the fuss was?” Star sighed. “Wyatt… look. Me arguing with you in my mouth was enough. I don’t want you getting anymore involved in a fight between me and her than you have to. Please leave it between us…” she told him.

“With respects, Miss Star… but I can get your answers for you. Celestia’s able to talk me… and won't eat me.” Star thought about it for a moment, before she pulled him out of her mouth. “Alright… Wyatt… if you insist.” she said, drying him off, and putting his pants and shirt on him. “And if she eats you, she’s going through no less than five walls.” she told him, quite bluntly, then setting him down on the ground, and opening her door for him.

“I don't think she will… and feel free to join if you want.” He turned and walked outside, confident that Star was most likely going to follow him and stay hidden. In a way, he was right, as Star took a deep breath and slowly followed behind.

Celestia cleaned up the kitchen, grumbling to herself, making herself some tea and pulling out an emergency stash of cake. She began to messily eat the cake, sitting on the table and chewed loudly, muttering to herself. Unbeknownst to her, Wyatt was there, climbing the table's legs and was just a few feet from the princess.

“Hi.” Wyatt spoke. Celestia jumped after hearing the voice, then saw Wyatt sitting on the table. She swallowed her mouthful and cleaned her mouth. “W-Wyatt!? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with Star?”

“She lost her appetite, actually. But that was a heated argument back there… guess the sun isn't the only most heated thing around.” An awkward silence came as Celestia gave an unamused look. “... Sorry. Just trying to lighten the mood. So, may I…?”

“Oh, of course.” Celestia gave Wyatt a small piece of her cake and a thimble filled with her tea. “I take it you're not here for cake and tea, are you?” Wyatt sighed. “No, ma'am… I'm sure you know why I'm here.”

Celestia sighed herself, taking a sip of her tea. “You're wondering why she exists, aren't you? And why I kept her trapped in that ring for thousands of years?” Wyatt nodded. “There has to be a good reason, your majesty.” Celestia sipped her tea.

“Well… since we're alone… I might as well tell you. She wouldn't understand… but, essentially, I created Nightmare Star almost as soon as I became princess. Star was made to help me look at a potential future on what may happen if I was ever consumed by power, but I also figured that, if anything were to ever happen to me, then Star would come along and replace me, maybe even turn into me by the Elements of Harmony.”

“So… you sorta cloned yourself?” Wyatt asked. Celestia took another sip. “Yes. But that's not the end. See, before I casted her into that ring, Star roamed around with me, acting as a bit like my best friend. But she was meant to be a secret from public. I'm sure you can tell what happened next. Afterall, you had the same reaction.”

Wyatt lowered his head in guilt. “Oh… right…” Celestia nodded. “So, I casted a spell to help get rid of that memory, and I casted her into that ring, not as a mean to punish her, but to keep her safe from the public. I really wanted to release her, I do, but I had to be sure that my subjects were fine with alternate versions of my sister and myself.”

“So… Nightmare Moon was a test run?” Wyatt asked “And Daybreaker was a follow-up? But what about Nightmare Star?” Celestia sighed deeply. “I was going to release her about a week before you did, Wyatt. I wanted her to know that I'm sorry for what had happened, and that it was for her protection from those that would be too scared and see her as a monster.” Celestia took a sip of her tea. “You can come out, Star. You're not as sneaky as you think you are.”

Star, during the conversation, was trying to slide her head into the doorway, nice and slow, just to see what they were doing (and to make sure Celestia didn’t eat Wyatt… maybe that more than the other thing). Of course, by the time Celestia noticed her, she couldn’t withdraw her big, flaming head in time, and let out an annoyed groan when Celestia called her out. Rolling her eyes, she turned and stood in the doorway. She gave a warm smile to Wyatt, only for her looks to turn icy cold as her eyes met Celestia’s. She didn’t say or do anything but stand there, as her looks said everything.

“Star… I'm sorry for imprisoning you in that ring, and wiping your memory of it.” Celestia apologized. “I did not do it out of spite as you may think, but for your protection against my subjects back then. You may not forgive me, but I'm here for you.” Star again, didn’t say anything. In fact, her glare only got more focused on her, pupils narrowing a bit. Her glare was still cold… but now also calculating, as if she’s trying to determine if she actually meant it.

“Star,” Wyatt spoke. “Celestia… look, what she did was wrong, but she was doing it for your safety. I'm not saying you should forgive her immediately, but you should talk to her about it.” In response to Wyatt (she didn’t want to look at Wyatt like this after all), she used her magic to pick him up, then teleport him on top of her head, behind her crown and into her mane again. She just kept looking at Celestia like this however, glare not faltering in the slightest. She was trying to get Celestia to crack under her gaze, one that Celestia herself had given others many times before.

“... If you want to run away, I won't stop you.” Celestia replied, getting up and walking to the flaming Alicorn. “You can take all your stuff with you, anything you believe will benefit you, even Wyatt. I won't send any of my guards to chase after you.” Celestia hugged Nightmare Star, tearing up a bit. “I'm sorry for keeping you imprisoned all those years. You can finally be free.”

Star didn’t do anything to stop Celestia from coming over (though the thought of hitting her away from her did come to mind). Instead she closed her eyes, and halfway hugged Celestia back, silently. However, she did whisper a warning into Celestia’s ear. “If this happens again, ever. I will leave. Without warning. Understand, Celestia?” she told her, quite bluntly.

“I know… but at least you won't be alone.” Star’s frown rose up at Celestia’s words, but she still didn’t falter much. “Yes. I do have friends and family... good company.” she acknowledged Celestia, while licking her lips thinking of Wyatt. “Don’t be so hard to talk to, by the way.” she added. “I know you’re busy, I know you want what’s best for me. But I’m sure you noticed that I would never come and talk to you. Now you know why. Change it.”

“And you try to act mature… but at least we understand each other.” She looked to Wyatt, who had a prideful look on his face. “And we have to say thanks to your small friend.” Star then finally, smiled once more. “Oh yes… I believe we do. Though… he does have a name Celestia.” she told him, as she pulled him off her head, and placed him on her snout. Star was half giving him kitchen eyes (he was so delicious!) and giving him a warm gaze. Adding to the kitchen eyes, Star did lick her lips again.

“Uh… Star? I thought you weren't hungry?” Wyatt gave a nervous chuckle. Celestia tapped Star's shoulder. “If I can make a suggestion; why not have Wyatt in a slice of Pinkie’s Marzipan Mascarpone Marade Madness?” Star did ponder the suggestion, but then said “While that is indeed quite tasty, I don’t wish to cover him in chewed food. And besides… he has work this morning. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a delicious snack anytime, though!”

“Hmm… today was rough… I say he has the day off. He's got a nice mare to fill up.” Celestia patted Wyatt's head with her feathers, making the human look really unsure. “... yay.” He simply said, knowing what was gonna happen next. Her eyes narrowing down even more, Star gave him full blown kitchen eyes, and laugh both sinister and joyful at the same time.

And with a quick teleportation spell… he was right back in her maw again. For what would be many more hours of tasting and teasing from the flaming alicorn. Not like it was a bad thing though…
