A strange happening.

Author's Note:

Another Chapter by Pixel Berry and Jerec. I wanted to add the colors for some dialog, but there was a LOT of dialog to go through, so, sorry, but I had to skip them.

It has been three weeks since Tania met Blueblood before, and if she was to be honest, he was much different after the first day. Not in a bad way, of course. But in a way that showed wasn’t as shy and stuttering as before. He sometimes liked talking about himself, but not to the point of boastfulness or just growing his ego. She always saw him in Princess Celestia’s chambers, seeing that he wasn’t allowed to go far without the princess or even herself around.

Other times, he couldn’t be found anywhere, but that was either because he was being tested on to ‘cure’ him… or he was just eaten by one of the castle’s employees. Really though, she didn’t see why anyone would. They say he’s a jerk, that he didn’t give any respect, yet he always saw fit to be given some. But… he’s nothing like that. At least, not around Tania or just not anymore. It was probably cause ponies could eat him, while tinies could do much worse stuff since he can’t defend himself that much.

Also, it seemed that the Princess saw how different Blueblood acted around the female tiny, and decided that when Celestia wasn’t around to keep an eye on Blueblood, Tania would take her place, while also helping him get more acquainted to being tiny now. And let’s just say that the practice and training was worth it. Now he can climb onto large furniture without using any magic. He can push a full jar of ink on his own. And he was even learning how to play the violin thanks to Tania. Of course, it is a little hard to use his hooves instead of magic, but he was learning at a decent pace. And he knows he could use magic for everything, but sometimes he has to be reminded that he has hooves for more than walking and making them look good. Also for the fact that his magic is only strong enough for small levitations. He can work on that on his own.

Speaking of practicing, the two were currently outside in the garden, resting on the giant bench that was more suited for ponies instead. They had a small picnic set up, it mostly consisting of biscuits, bread, and lots of types of jams. It took awhile for Celestia to even allow the two out of the castle, but once the deal of Tania being Celestia’s tiny snack for a week sealed it. The two also brought in their instruments, Blueblood with his violin, while Tania bought a ukulele instead. The tiny was lightly strumming it, plucking strings and making random notes while she relaxed on the bench with the tiny stallion.

Blueblood sits there, his tiny violin in his hooves, looking it over for a moment before smirking at Tania. “Now I really can play a sad song on the world’s smallest violin.” He says jokingly, before checking to make sure it was in tune. “I just hope nopony decides to sit here, especially since we’re all alone out here.” Blueblood comments on their situation.

“I don’t think so. There’s plenty of other benches, and this is close to the flowers, which in theory attracts bugs, and I don’t think ponies would be okay sitting next to some bugs.” She guessed, not wanting to be in the best spot where it’s under a shaded tree, and has the perfect view. She felt that they didn’t need a grand bench when they weren’t going to take not even a quarter of the space.

“Well, I guess we better hope my Aunt isn’t coming to pick us up too soon, because after that, it’ll just be the three of us for a week. You, me, and my Aunt’s stomach.” He replies, while continuing to tune the violin, sneaking in some magic use to help tighten the strings precisely.

“Yep. But it’s not like it’ll be our first time.” She mumbled, messing with her instrument a little more, seeming to have something else on her mind. She looked up at the blue sky, it having some clouds drifting about. Her foot bobbed a little in the nonexistent beat she wasn’t hearing.

“Bet you’d rather it be my other Aunt, Luna. Or that new Nightmare Moon. You seem to get along better with them.” Blueblood says, a little jokingly, knowing she wouldn’t want to be eaten by anypony in reality.

“I don’t think there’s any difference. A stomach is just a stomach.” She lightly shrugged, knowing the only difference would be the pony, and whatever they did or will eat while she was inside. Even though she wasn’t fond of being eaten, she wasn’t one to physically fight back, but to just let it happen and get it over with. She was now playing a mindless tune that actually sounded nice while she played it.

“Well, there is a bit of a difference. After all, Celestia’s is much bigger than Luna and Nightmare Moon’s. However, since Luna rests during the day, we’d be able to talk to her since she isn’t busy with all the stuff Celestia does. Kinda the same with Nightmare Moon. Then there’s the nights, in Luna’s we’d be joined by kids, and in Nightmare Moon’s, well, shrunken, scared snatchers.” Blueblood explains, now completely using magic to manipulate his violin. “Oh, I’ve heard that they’ve brought in another pony to give alicorn powers to. Apparently Celestia also has a hidden dark side and this pony is getting that.” Blueblood looks off. “I’m still just trying to picture what Aunt Celestia would look like being evil.”

“Probably with fire mane and tail instead of that rainbow one she has.” She assumed, already picturing the dark side of Celestia being more around fire and the dangers of the sun itself. “Lots of red orange and yellow.”

“Yeah, and sharp teeth.” Blueblood adds, remembering the shark toothed grin of Nightmare Moon. He slides the bow across each string of his violin, testing to see if he’d tuned it right, still using magic. “I know she’s nice to her adopted kids and all, but being in her mouth would be terrifying.” He comments on the dark mare, not realizing he’d only vaguely referred to Nightmare Moon.

“Yeah, but you can’t really judge a mare who was… born? With those teeth.” She wasn’t sure how else to word it. “Besides, some humans can actually make themselves have that shark like teeth, but it looks weird to me.” She said, remembering one thug online with braced shark teeth.

“I’d say gifted. She was a Night Guard who had a horrible accident and became disabled. I think it’s going to be kind of the same with Celestia’s pick, only this one isn’t a guard.” Blueblood replies, before shaking his head. “Wait, some humans would have their teeth surgically altered like that?!” He asks in surprise, wondering why anyone would submit themselves to that kind of torture.

“Humans do a whole lot of stuff to themselves just cause they want to stand out or just don’t like who they are. Changing teeth is only the tip of the iceberg. They can change their hair, eyes, and even put on tattoos. It’s more or less like a cutie mark, but we choose where, when and what it’s going to be.” She said, thinking of more stuff, but deciding to stop where she was unless he was curious for more. “But I don’t mind what other people would do. It’s their body, and it’s their own choice of action that either helps or ruins their body. No one else to blame but themselves.”

“Well, we actually have ‘mane’ dye as well, so that isn’t too out there. Still, that sounds painful. U-um, anyway, you said you wanted to practice a song?” Blueblood asks, partially to change the subject, not knowing if she would go further.

“Oh, yeah, I came up with a little tune just now. And it has to do with what we’re having right now.” She smiled, sitting up as she strummed her ukulele a little more to make sure it was in tune. “We can improvise. Sometimes I do that when I’m bored or just inspired to make a song about anything.”

“Okay.” Blueblood replies, readying his violin, still using magic. “Ready when you are.” He says, wondering why the song would be about jam.

Tania only nodded, starting the small tune on her ukulele before Blueblood trailed behind to harmonize with the tune. Knowing that this was just improvised, she knew it wouldn’t exactly make sense at this point in time, but she started singing anyways.

“The sun is bright, our shirts are clean, we’re sitting up above the sea.

Come on and share this jam with me!” She started, before Blueblood continued while playing his violin.

“Peach or plum or strawberry, any kind is fine, you see.

Come on and share this jam with me!” He stood up on his hooves, still playing while his eyes were closed, and he kept on going.

“I’ll do my best to give this jam the sweetness it deserves.”

“And I’ll keep it fresh, I’m jamming on these tasty preserves!” Tania jumped in, also standing before the two came together.

“Ingredients in harmony, we mix together perfectly, come on and share this jam with me!” They sung together before Tania plucked the final string.

Once the short song finished, Tania couldn’t help but laugh a little at how great that first improv song with Blueblood was. “That was great!” She couldn’t help but hug Blueblood. “And you sung so amazingly!”

Blueblood returned the hug, only, after a short while, he couldn’t help but feel like they were being watched. He opens his eyes and freezes. What he sees, looks quite a bit like his Aunt, if she had black eyes with gold irises, and her mane and tail were flames. Not even the gentle look on her face, or the man sitting on her nose, could make up for how scary she looked to him. “I-I-I think we had an audience.” He says, gulping in fear a bit.

“Huh?” Tania was a bit confused on what he said, breaking the hug and turning around to see the giant alicorn flame demon… she was probably being over dramatic, but was quick to hide behind the unicorn prince, more so on some strangers hearing her sing.

Blueblood let out an ‘eep’ as Tania hid behind him, gulping in fear, he nervously laughed and waved to the alicorn in front of him, and the man on her nose. Surprisingly enough, the giant mare glanced bashfully away, causing the man to roll his eyes. “You’ll have to forgive my, uh, marefriend. She’s still getting used to her new look. I’m Charlie, and this is Lily, though I guess I should call her Daybreaker now.” He says, introducing himself and the mare, who only shyly waved. “Yeah, she’s also really shy, doesn’t help that until now she was stuck in her house.”

Tania still remained hidden behind Blueblood. It wasn’t like she was scared of the way she looked, but more so that a pony heard her singing. She never really sung in front of a huge crowd of people, but singing in front of giant ponies that could hate her singing and eat her just to silence her… that was one of her fears that her singing would be that bad.

Lily, or Daybreaker, seemed to be gathering up some courage to speak. “Y-you sing really good.” She says softly, ironic given her appearance.

Tania was still shaking a little in fear, but she was able to utter out two words. “Th...thank you.”

Charlie jumps onto the bench. “Don’t worry, Lily is a softy, she wouldn’t hurt a fly.” The giant mare behind him twiddles her hooves, looking a little embarrassed. “In fact, up till now she probably couldn’t hurt a fly. I even accidentally hurt her a couple times.” He smiles up to the mare. “Guess you don’t have to worry about that now either.”

“Th-that’s not what I-I’m sc-scared about.” She said in a shy manner that almost matched a certain butter yellow pegasus someplace else.

“Then what are you scared about?” Charlie asks, Daybreaker seems to be curious about it too as she tilts her head in the quizzical look often seen from dogs.

Tania didn’t answer as she felt her reason was ridiculous. She only got closer to Blueblood, still scared and shy around the newcomers.

“Hmm. Well, I doubt it’s because you’re shy around any of us tinies. I’ve seen you a couple times at the Cornerstone Club in the castle. Is it because you are shy around… Normal sized ponies like Daybreaker here?” Charlie asks.

She was hesitant at first, but slowly nodded as that was one of the main reasons.

“Don’t worry.” Charlie says. “She’s pretty shy herself.” He continues, pointing to the mare who, by appearance alone didn’t seem like she’d be shy at all. Of course her actions said everything about how shy she was as she was looking anywhere but at the three, a blush fixed to her cheeks as she felt really embarrassed and out of place. “Besides, being shy around the ponies is pretty common, but it’s more than that isn’t it?” He asks.

Tania only nodded again, feeling less shy as she was now just sitting close to Blueblood for comfort.

“So, what are you afraid of?” Charlie asks, before looking at Daybreaker and then back to the two. “Besides the obvious.” Daybreaker rubs the back of her head with a hoof after hearing that. “After all, between the black eyeballs and the flame hair, she is pretty intimidating, and you haven’t even seen her teeth yet.”

“... i-it was when you said you heard u-us sing.” She mumbled, holding onto the stallion now. “I… I was scared s-she didn’t like it. And that she… she would...” The pink blush on her cheeks started to turn red as it seemed obvious she was afraid that her singing would cause her to get eaten, whether she liked it or not.

“So, you’re scared she’d eat you and never let you back out?” Charlie asks, just to be sure.

She only nodded this time as she looked away from the two now, staring at the floor.

Charlie chuckles a bit. “Well, with your singing you should be more scared that some, um, pony might hear you and want to keep you to themselves. Kinda like the giant in that old Disney movie with the living harp.” He comments. “You don’t have to worry about her though, she’ll only eat you if you’re okay with it… Or are one of those tinies working for snatchers, considering her new job. Since you’re probably not one of those, then you’ll be fine.”

“... I’m probably scared of that too.” She mumbled, now more scared of singing in front of anypony.

“I was just messing with you a bit. There aren’t many ponies that would do that, really.” Charlie chuckles, rubbing the back of his head. “So, uh, who are you two? We never got your names.”

“I-I’m Blueblood.” Blueblood manages to say, still fairly scared of Daybreaker, hoping that as her normal self she’d never met him, especially considering her new form and his size.

“T-Tania.” She answered next as she was rubbing her arm a little now. “Uhm, wh-what are you two doing here anyways?” She decided to ask, wondering why they were even here if one of them was supposed to be on the lookout for tiny snatchers.

“Well, we’re sorta living in the castle now, and she’s new so she’s just learning how to control her new abilities. She’s on a break right now so we decided to wander around the gardens, she heard you two singing, and now we’re here.” Charlie replies and Daybreaker nods in agreement. “So, what’re you two doing out here? If you’re trying to avoid being eaten, it’s probably not a good idea to be without a chaperone. I know I said ponies wouldn’t try to keep you forever, but they will eat you if they feel like it and you might not still be at the castle when they let you out. Though, I mean, it wouldn’t be too bad if it were a guard or the palace staff, seeing as they have to come back here the next day.”

Tania looked away once again, what Charlie was saying making her think this whole idea was a bad one. She didn’t want to answer as she thought her reasons would be dumb. “But wouldn’t a chaperone be bad as well… they could just eat us as well.” She mumbled. “I just wanted the two of us to be outside alone… Blueblood is always locked inside Celestia’s chambers… I was just trying to be nice by doing this...”

“A chaperone wouldn’t be too bad, after all, the chaperone would have to be a friend, or someone you can trust.” Charlie explains. “Do you mind if we stay and keep you company? Daybreaker here could be your chaperone, keep other ponies from deciding to give you a living hotel room.” He suggests.

“I… I guess.” She lightly shrugged, looking back at the small picnic area they set up as she wasn’t sure how to go along with two more people… one being a giant fiery alicorn.

“Don’t worry, Daybreaker and I brought our own supplies.” Charlie says, before looking up at the alicorn. “I would say there’s always the three of us for her as well, but that’s only if you agree to it anyway.” Daybreaker begins setting some food onto the bench for the two of them, a couple of sandwiches for them and coming out of her mane, a fresh, hot pie. “You two can have some of that if you want.” Charlie says, with Daybreaker nodding.

“Oh, no, I really shouldn’t. I mean, we have our own stuff… I don’t know.” She wasn’t really keen on receiving things, thinking that her appreciation seemed fake to others.

“Well, if you change your mind, feel free to come have some.” Charlie replies, before heading over to Daybreaker to get his sandwich. Daybreaker herself was already chowing down on her sandwich, having taken a bite out of it easily the size of Tania’s family’s new home.

Tania went back to the picnic, taking a small biscuit and putting some jam on it before she started eating it. She had her ukulele in the case while she was eating, now more quiet and to herself than before the two got here. She did wish that she could be less cold and silent to the two, but the idea of singing in front of anypony plagued her mind, wishing she could just get used to it since this would be her life from now on.

Blueblood joins Tania, grabbing a biscuit for himself and eating as well. After a moment Daybreaker scooched closer, and seeming to be wanting to say something, but too shy to go through with it. “U-um…?” Was all Daybreaker could manage to ask in a really soft and gentle voice, one that didn’t fit her form at all.

Tania didn’t notice or hear as she finished her small biscuit, now taking a small bottle of water and drinking some of it. Once she finished, she noticed an odd feeling in her throat, but just shrugged it off as just a piece of biscuit that was lingering in her throat.

“U-um?” Daybreaker tried again, only slightly louder, and moving a little bit closer. Charlie, who was still enjoying his own sandwich, chuckles a bit at Daybreaker’s attempts to get Tania’s attention.

Tania cleared her throat a little before she took notice that Daybreaker was trying to get her attention and not Blueblood’s. “Yes?” She said, glancing over at her before she realized how close the alicorn was and backed away a little.

“S-sorry.” Daybreaker said, backing away to give Tania more room. “I-I was j-just wondering… W-would y-you m-mind… s-singing again?” She asked with a stutter. The shy mare feeling odd for making a request of someone she hardly knew.

Tania’s cheeks instantly turned pink at the request of another song, never having anyone ask that other than her younger brother when they were spending time together. “I-I don’t know.” She stuttered, looking away while also messing with her hair.

“Y-you don’t h-have t-too… I-I was j-just w-w-wondering… A-and your voice is r-really p-pretty.” Daybreaker replies, the giant mare looking really flustered and like at any point she’d duck away out of embarrassment, her blush bright red.

“I… I don’t even know what to sing.” She admitted, thinking of a few, but never really able to reach those notes or pitches.

Daybreaker looks away, a little disappointed. “O-oh, o-okay.” She says before scooting back over to what’s left of her sandwich and starting to nibble it, no longer eating as ravenously as before. Blueblood stays silent, still eating his biscuit while keeping an eye on Daybreaker.

“I-I’m sorry. My mind is just d-drawing a blank. Maybe I’ll think of something later and cha-a-a-a-ange-” Her eyes widened as she quickly slapped her hands over her mouth, a red embarrassed blush on her cheeks as her voice just went all distorted when she said ‘change’.

The other three look at Tania with surprise, not sure what just happened. “How did you do that?” Both Charlie and Blueblood say at the same time. Charlie chuckles a bit. “Jinx, you owe me a coke.” He whispers to Blueblood. Daybreaker just continues to stare in surprise.

She didn’t say anything at first, still having her hands over her mouth. But she felt she had to answer to Blueblood at least. “I...I don’t know.” She said, her voice normal, but a scared look in her eyes. “That’s never happened to me before.” Her voice this time was really deep. So deep that she actually made the area around them shake as if there was an earthquake, covering her mouth as the red blush returned on her cheeks, clearly feeling that she shouldn’t speak for now… or anything else regarding her voice.

“Wow, it’s like you’re becoming a superhero!” Charlie exclaims after picking himself back up. Blueblood and Daybreaker just stared wide eyed, even though the ‘earthquake’ hadn’t affected her, Blueblood on the other hand just lay where his legs had sprawled out, to shocked to pick himself up.

Tania wanted to say that this was nothing like being a superhero, but she only stayed silent with her hands still over mouth, still embarrassed about what was happening. “We need to find the princess...” She said in a hushed tone, her voice being normal that time.

The three nod and Daybreaker stands up, using her hooves to quickly pick up the food she’d brought with her and the picnic supplies and tuck them into her mane before she lowered her head to the bench. “Um, Lily, we’re gonna be in a rush, probably best if we go in your mouth rather than on your head. Don’t want to fall off after all.” Charlie points out, only for Daybreaker to look at Tania, her eyes asking if that’s okay with her.

Tania wasn’t really okay with the idea, wanting to ask if she could hold her by the back of her shirt or something, but then came up with reason why that wouldn’t be a better idea. With a small sigh, she only nodded, knowing that she wouldn’t enjoy it.

Daybreaker opens her mouth wide to allow them in. A bright light shining from down her throat illuminated the entirety of her mouth, her sharp teeth gleaming. Charlie climbs in and helps Blueblood inside before helping Tania in. With the group inside, Daybreaker closes her mouth and rushes off to find Celestia, using her tongue to block her throat so that she doesn’t accidentally swallow them.

As she rushes around the palace, the group in Daybreaker’s mouth are surprisingly left without getting bounced around her mouth. “It sure is different in here. Sharp teeth, bright glow, it’s pretty hot too, well, hotter than it usually is in a pony’s mouth.” Charlie comments, while Blueblood stares fearfully at the wall of sharp teeth that stands between them and the outside world.

“I don’t like doing this!” She spoke, her voice going a pitch higher at the end, the pink blush returning on her cheeks when her voice broke again. “Or whatever’s happening to my vo-o-o-oice.” That time it sounded as if her voice was in a strange audio loop.

“I don’t know, I think it’s kind of cool.” Charlie replies. “Then again, it’s not happening to me, so, yeah, sorry.” He says rubbing the back of his head. Blueblood on the other hand canters over and wraps his forelegs around her sides, giving her a hug that might as well have been from a child considering their size difference. The tiny stallion’s head resting against her abdomen. “So that’s what it would be like if we were normal sized.” Charlie comments.

“Let’s just hope the princess knows what to do...” Tania said, this time her voice sounding just like Celestia herself… the possible reason being she was thinking about the alicorn and what she would do. “Or she would just save this until after our deal is done.”

“Deal?” Charlie asks.

However, time seems to be up as a voice they’d just heard sounds. “Hello Daybrea-” Celestia starts before the new alicorn opens her mouth, revealing the group inside. “Oh, um, hello to you three too. Is something wrong?” The Princess asks in concern, putting together that something is going wrong. She pulls the group out with her magic, cleans them off and places them on her muzzle as the two alicorns are standing in a hallway.

“YES! SOMETHING IS WRONG!” Tania’s voice was now sounding more like she was shouting in a rather impolite tone, quick to cover her mouth once again.

Celestia stares at the group huddled on her muzzle, her eyes narrowing a bit. “Alright, but what’s wrong?” She asks politely, but poignantly establishing that, though she has a great amount of patience, it does have limits and not knowing what the problem currently was didn’t help either.

“ISN’T IT OBVIOUS!? I THOUGHT YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS!” She said in the same tone, the blush on her face only getting worse as she really didn’t mean to raise her voice like that or sound so rude, especially to a princess.

Celestia’s eyes narrowed even more, and she let’s out a very equine like snort. “Know about what?” She asks, her tone sounding a little annoyed at the tiny girl for shouting at her for seemingly no reason. This tone causing Charlie and Blueblood to step away from Tania as if she were going to spontaneously combust.


Tania was now really scared once she saw how annoyed and the tone Celestia was giving back. She didn’t know if it was more rude to keep going, or stay quiet, she only turned to look at the two who just backed away, more specifically looking at Blueblood for some help.

Blueblood gulps a little nervously. “I-It’s her voice. S-somehow it’s changing, sometimes it sounds distorted like it’s playing over the radio, or it gets really deep, and a moment ago it even sounded like you, Auntie!” He says, somewhat fearfully. “I-I don’t think she’s shouting on purpose, I think she can’t control her voice anymore!”

Celestia looks at the other two, who only nod. “Oh. I’m sorry for getting a little angry with you Tania. As for what’s going on, I-I’m not sure myself what’s going on.” She replies to the tiny woman.

She only whimpered as she looked down from her, not speaking this time as she didn’t know if she still had that rude shouting voice still.

“Tania, now that I know, it would help if you spoke. I need to understand more about what is going on. The more I know the better I’ll be able to help.” Celestia explains, readying a magic scan for when the girl spoke.

Tania only shook her head, not wanting to speak anymore if she was still gonna sound like this. ‘What if I shout again, or my voice goes super deep again? What if speaking more like this will hurt me or anyone else around me? I can’t do that, I won’t forgive myself if that happens.’ She thought.

“Please Tania, you need to speak if I’m going to have any way of helping.” Celestia implores the girl, wanting to help but magic scans currently weren’t picking anything other than the one spell on her. She waits, hoping that the girl will speak, rather than force her to use… more drastic measures to get her to speak.

“...I just don’t want to yell at you again.” She said, her voice sounding more high pitched and squeaky; as if she just inhaled some helium… to which she couldn’t help but laugh a little at how ridiculous she sounded.

Celestia suppressed a giggle of her own, her magic scan picking up some odd readings as Tania spoke. “Don’t worry, as I said, I need you to speak. Now I just need you to say something more.” She replies keeping the scan going.

“Like what?” She asked, not knowing what else to say in this kind of situation.

Celestia giggles. “That’s enough actually.” Then Celestia’s tone becomes more serious. “It seems, somehow, you’ve gained the ability to use magic and from what I can tell so far, only with your voice.” She let’s out a sigh. “Which means I have some news for you. I have no idea what to do or how to help. Fortunately I know some ponies that can help, but there’s another problem… I’ll have to send you to them, and they are in Ponyville, very far away from here especially by your standards.” She says, knowing the girl was very particular about remaining with her family.

“Wh-what?” She spoke in her normal voice. “B-but I’ve never been outside of Canterlot. And I’m a Tiny, I could get snatched before I even get there!” She said, already listing the worse case scenario if she ever left, a nervous and scared look on her face.

“That would be the case normally, if you were to attempt to head there on your own. I doubt you’d even reach the train station in a month. Fortunately for you I have a few means of getting you there that won’t even take an hour.” Celestia replies, a giggle escaping again. There was even one that was instantaneous. “Now then, one of those ways is for either my sister or your friend Nightmare Moon to take you there personally. I would, but unfortunately I have quite the busy schedule. Another would be to have the two ponies come up here and retrieve you. Finally there’s the quickest way, I send you there through a special spell that allows me to communicate with my student quickly.”

Tania stayed quiet for awhile, thinking about the options as the thought of meeting another pony is rather nerve wracking in her head. She felt that just going there and being thrusted into this pony’s hooves without knowing nothing about them wasn’t a good idea. The most logical choice for that problem would be for them to come and pick her up so they can get to know each other before she would have to be with this new pony. ‘But what if they’re busy and asking them to come would be rude..?’ She thought, already about how the pony would think without even knowing what they’re name is. “I… I don’t know.” She mumbled.

“Well, I’ll just demonstrate the fast way and let my student and her own pupil know about the situation at the same time.” Celestia replies, her magic bringing up a quill and a piece of parchment which she wrote on quickly. Then her horn flashed and the rolled up scroll burst into green flames, the ashes flying off toward and out a nearby window before disappearing. “Now I know that looks dangerous, but it really isn’t. My student should respond soon and you’ll see why.” Sure enough suddenly Celestia’s horn glowed and the green fire bursts into existence for a moment before leaving another piece of parchment behind. “My student is ready to receive you by this means or by delivery by my sister or Nightmare Moon.”

Now Tania was undecided as she didn’t think asking her student to come and pick her up sounded more lazy, and after the princess sent a letter about her, she felt that not doing one or the other was also being rude. “...d-do I have to go by myself? I… I’m not sure sending me to a pony I don’t even know is a good idea.” She admitted, messing with her hands now.

“No. If you wish my nephew can join you, that is, if he feels comfortable going to Ponyville himself.” Celestia says, looking knowingly at Blueblood who gulped nervously knowing just which mare lived there and definitely not wanting to be seen by her at this size. “Of course you can also take any other friends of yours with you as well.”

“The only other friend I have is Swiffer...” She said, not having anyone else she could take along with her. “B-but if he doesn’t want to come… I’ll be okay by myself. I-if you trust her, then why shouldn’t I?” She added, sounding like her maid friend.

“Well, if you want Swiffer to go with you, I could see about that too if you wish.” Celestia replies, before looking to Blueblood. “Well my little nephew, do you wish to go with Tania, or stay with me?” Blueblood gulps and stands for a moment, thinking it over before he canters over and sits next to Tania. “Well, seems one friend is going with you. Now about the other.” Celestia says before her horn lights up for a moment and not too long after Swiffer trots up to them.

“Yes, your majesty.” The maid asks, bowing to the princess.

“Swiffer, your tiny friend here is experiencing some… problems and needs to go to Ponyville for my student to examine her. She would like to be joined by her friends. Do you wish to go with her?” Celestia asks the maid.

Swiffer looks to Tania. “If you want me to come with you, I certainly can. I’ve been meaning to go to Ponyville anyway and visit a couple of friends there.” She says with a smile.

Celestia looks to Tania. “Well, would you like her to go with you? I will have to send a message to Twilight to be on the lookout for her, since I can’t send her through the dragon fire spell and she’ll have to carry you two there.” Swiffer glances at Blueblood licking her lips.

Tania thought about it some more, not wanting to impose on Swiffer’s own time, but if she wanted to, who was she to reject her friend to be by her side. She didn’t need to say anything as she glanced up at Celestia and slowly nodded, feeling she would feel better with two friends with her than just one.

Swiffer smiles at Tania, more than happy to go with her tiny friend. Celestia giggles for a moment. “Well, it looks like our deal will have to wait until you get back, doesn’t it?”

“Y-yeah… sorry princess. Th-this isn’t some way to delay it, I swear.” Tania was quick to apologize in case the princess did think this was an excuse to not get eaten yet.

Celestia giggles some more. “Oh, I already know you didn’t mean for this to happen. After all, you were quite surprised about this as well. However, you better get going, my student is expecting you.” Celestia says, lowering her muzzle to be level with the unicorn maid’s, who opens her mouth wide to allow the two inside.

Tania didn’t move from her spot on Celestia’s muzzle, very hesitant in going into another pony’s mouth. She really didn’t want to ride in a pony’s mouth again.

Swiffer looks at Tania for a moment. “Sorry, it’s just I don’t have any saddlebags on me, and riding in this outfit’s pockets or in my mane, well, I could lose you. Don’t worry, I promise not to swallow you.”

I guess I don’t have a choice… or any choice for that matter.’ She thought, it being a little harsh around the end but really not liking that she had to do this almost every time she needed to be someplace faster and safer. She only sighed before she went inside the mare’s mouth, but huddled close to herself as the saliva was what she considered the worst part… next to being trapped in a stomach of course.

Swiffer carefully closes her mouth, sealing the girl and tiny unicorn stallion inside. She nods to Celestia, who gives her a set of tickets to Ponyville, and rushes off to the castle exit, and further, to the train station. She takes a seat on the train and while waiting for it to depart, opens her mouth and allows the two out onto her hoof. She carefully places the two on the seat, so they could be more comfortable. When the train set off, she lays down to allow the two to rest against her belly, her hind legs, or even in her tail. “Don’t worry Tania, Princess Twilight will be able to help sort this all out.”

“I hope so. I don’t know how I can work without my voice brea-king on me like this without warnin-in-in-ing.” She said, hoping that only the three of them heard her talk and no one else. Before she did have an opportunity to do something out of her comfort zone, but with her voice going weird, she didn’t think she could do it anymore.

Blueblood hugs Tania again and Swiffer carefully nuzzles the tiny girl, both of them trying to cheer her up at least a little bit. “Now then, I wonder if I should enjoy my tiny, vanilla flavored snack?” Swiffer says while licking her lips, teasing Blueblood a bit. The stallion reacts by holding onto Tania a little tighter.

The small girl couldn’t help but blush at the loving actions that both of her friends were giving her, feeling a little bit better as she lightly petted the tiny stallion’s mane. But now that she wasn’t really doing anything anymore, she started to notice how exhausted she was, yawning before she spoke. “Do you mind if I take a small nap while we’re on the train?” She asked in a deep voice, but this time it just sounded like her voice but just pitched lower.

Swiffer giggles a bit at the voice change. “No, go ahead.” Swiffer says, curling up around them. “I’ll let you know when we get there.”

She moved a little closer to the mare, resting against her stomach as she curled close to herself for warmth. In all honesty, hearing her stomach from the outside felt better than on the inside, it not being as loud, creepy, or odd since she used to lay on her parents stomachs when she was younger, the warmth mostly making her fall asleep.

Swiffer carefully flicks her tail and lays it across the sleepy girl, and by extension the tiny stallion staying very close to her, partially to keep from being eaten by the maid. She keeps watch to make sure that nopony decides to abduct either of her charges. Eventually the train comes to a stop at Ponyville and she nuzzles her two now sleeping traveling companions. “We’re here.” She whispers to the two of them.

Tania turned her head a little at the nuzzling, wanting to sleep a little longer, but after hearing that they arrived, her eyes fluttered open as she sat up and stretched a little. She looked to see that Blueblood was curled close to her side, hooves wrapped around her waist. She smiled a little as she lightly petted his mane.

Blueblood yawns as he wakes up, feeling Tania petting his mane. He smiles and pushes his head against her hand, urging her to continue, liking the feel and affection. Swiffer giggles a bit. “Come on you two lovebirds, time to get up, we’ve a castle to get to so hop on in.” She says before she opens her mouth next to them.

The tiny girl let out a small sigh through her nose, before she picked up the even smaller unicorn and carried him into the much bigger unicorn’s maw. She just prayed she would be out as fast as she got in.

Once again Swiffer closed her mouth and heads off into Ponyville, heading straight to the castle. She makes sure to avoid getting into any conversations so that she doesn’t have to swallow the girl in her mouth. Eventually she arrives at the castle, she knocks on the door and while she waits for it to open she lets the two out onto her back. “Worried?” She asks the tiny girl on her back.

She only nodded as she hugged her legs, cleaning the saliva off of her awhile ago. “Wish saliva never existed… Or at least it wasn’t as gross.” Her voice reached another high pitch at the second part.

Swiffer blushes a bit. “Sorry, you two are pretty tasty.” She says with a bit of a giggle.

The door opens and a lavender alicorn stands at the entrance. “You must be Swiffer.” She says before looking at Tania and Blueblood. “And you must be Tania, the tiny Princess Celestia wants me to help.” She then focuses on Blueblood. “You’ll probably want to stay hidden, Rarity is over for tea and she still hasn’t forgiven you for your behavior that night.” Hearing that causes Blueblood to gulp and start shaking in fear. “Follow me and I’ll see what I can do to help.” The alicorn, obviously Twilight, says as she turns and leads them into the crystalline castle.

Tania was a little nervous seeing another alicorn, before she saw how nervous Blueblood was, trying to give him comfort by giving him an ear scratch.

Blueblood’s worry seemed to lessen just a bit from the ear scratching, but it was only a bit, at least he wasn’t shaking as bad as he’d been when he found out Rarity was in the castle. Swiffer looks back at the two as she follows Twilight. She lets out a giggle after a moment. “Don’t worry Blueblood, I’ve got a nice warm place for you to hide.” She teases, licking her lips for added effect. Blueblood’s only reaction was to gulp and seem to consider it.

“Please not now…” She mumbled, voice being lowered yet again. “As long as we don’t go to the dining room we’ll be fine.

“Actually, Rarity is currently with Starlight Glimmer in the study, which is where we’re going.” Twilight says. “I’ll keep her from doing something rash, though. Besides, she’s here for something else.”

Something else?” She repeated as a question, wondering just what another pony is here for.

“Yes, I discovered a way to transfer the spell you are under to a pony for a short time. Rarity wants to exchange her size with a tiny for a while so she can get a better grasp of designing clothes for you.” Twilight replies. “Perhaps you’d like to volunteer after I’ve taken a look at what you are going through.” She suggests.

Well, I don’t know, if anyone, I would want to do it with Blueblood, but if that happened, I’m guessing the magic already in me would just be stronger.” Tania said, wishing she could just take it away from the stallion so he could really show how much he’s changed.

“I can’t actually transfer the spell to another tiny, I can only move the spell to another being that doesn’t have it, and while I’m certain Blueblood would agree to have the spell moved from him for a while, I doubt Rarity would want to participate in that case.” Twilight replies. “We’re here.” She says, opening the door and ushering them inside. Where in some comfy chairs there sat a lavender unicorn mare who has a dark purple mane with a blue highlight done up in a ponytail and a white unicorn with a rich purple mane curled fancifully. The both look at the newcomers, but the white unicorn focuses on Blueblood with a rather harsh glare. That is until he jumps behind Tania and hides as much of himself as possible behind her back.

The tiny human was a little surprised by the stallion’s actions, but only turned around to where he was hiding and wrapped her arms around him in a comforting manner. “It’s okay. I’ll always be with you.” She showed a small smile at him before she petted his mane again, and even squeezed him in the small hug. “I won’t let her harm you… or more like I’ll try.” She lightly joked.

“So this is the tiny who's developing magic.” Starlight comments. “Hello, I’m Starlight Glimmer, nice to meet you.” The purple unicorn says politely and introduces herself.

“Hello there, sorry I’d forgotten my manners for a moment. I’m Rarity, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Rarity says, introducing herself as well. “Though, I have to admit, I’m certainly glad to see that a certain prince received his just reward for his behavior.” She says moving much closer. “Don’t you worry little prince, I’m not going to do anything with you, I’m a lady and I won’t sully my hooves with revenge, besides, eating you is more of an intimate act and that’s the last thing I’d ever be with you.” She says before looking closer at Tania’s clothing. Blueblood stops shaking and wipes his forehead while sighing in relief.

Sheesh, for someone who says she’s a lady, she isn’t really one to let go of the past.’ Tania couldn’t help but think negatively, holding Blueblood closer as she placed her head over the small stallion’s. “Tania...” She said in her helium voice, a pink blush on her cheeks as she didn’t expect her first words to them being so… childish. ‘With that helium voice, I sound like those singing chipmunks.’ She thought. ‘Most likely those female ones… I forgot what they were called.

“I see what Princess Celestia meant by voice problems.” Starlight says, suppressing a giggle, something that Rarity was also doing. “Sorry, but you’ll have to talk more to help us figure out how to remove this problem, or at least help you control it, as embarrassing as it is.” she informs the tiny girl.

Twilight approaches. “I’m sorry to inform you, but this could take a while. We’ve got plenty of rooms though, I’ll have to introduce you three to the other current residents here later.” Twilight says, before turning to Swiffer. “Bring her over to that table so that Starlight and I can get preliminary scans please.” She requests the maid before heading over to the table she specified and being joined by Starlight, Rarity follows them as well. Swiffer stands against the table to allow Tania to get onto it.

Tania made her way to the table, still holding Blueblood like a medium size dog she can carry herself, not wanting to let him go in case Rarity wanted to change her mind. “I think it’s obvious that something’s wrong.” She said, glancing away before she sat back down on the table.

“Yes, it is obvious.” Twilight says, not liking the rude turn that Tania was taking. “However, in order to help, we’ll need you to speak more while we run scans, and there’s no need to be rude about this, we are trying to help you after all.” Twilight explains, while her horn and Starlight’s lights up.

“I didn’t mean to be rude… sorry.” She apologized. “But what else should I say?” She spoke, the last part sounding like Celestia yet again.

“Well, you could tell us more about yourself. Where you’re from, what you do here, who your friends are, what you like about them.” Twilight suggests, as the two ready their scans.

“Well… I’m twenty years old, I used to be in Westchester, but now I live in Canterlot. Celestia gave me the job to clean the hard to reach places within the castle and on her extra regal items she wears. I wouldn’t consider them clothes, though. And… Swiffer was my only friend until I met Blueblood one day… he heard m-me singing and gave me some compliments after that.” She couldn’t help but blush saying that. “He even said he would want me to be normal size if he could choose who to… uhm… let what happened to him.” She stopped holding onto the small stallion when she started talking. “I met another tiny before this all happened, and another alicorn named Daybreaker… she wanted me to sing again after catching me and Blueblood making an improv song… it was about jams.

“Thank you, that was definitely enough to get some good readings with, and it’s also good to get to know you better.” Twilight replies. “Perhaps after Starlight and I get your voice back to normal, or at least under control you could sing with us. I’m sure you’ve noticed we ponies tend to sing a bit too.” She says with a smile.

“Y-yeah, at random moments. On earth that only happens in planned out singing mobs… or on TV shows.” She said, not thinking she could sing with her voice all messed up. “B-but it doesn’t happen a lot in Canterlot… the nobles aren’t really fond of doing anything that doesn’t give them more bits… or popularity.”

Rarity giggles a bit. “Darling, I’ve been to Canterlot plenty of times, they do sing quite a bit there too. Perhaps it’s just not as common in the castle. Now what surprises me is that Blueblood’s behavior seems to have improved, at least from what you’ve said.”

Tania lightly nodded to what Rarity said about the tiny stallion. “H-he’s been stuck in Celestia’s chambers ever since he sh-shrunk.” She mumbled. “A-and I never m-met him when he wasn’t… small, s-so I don’t see why anyone w-wouldn’t like him.” She admitted, bringing him close yet again. “B-but I guess it’s only cause anyone could hurt him… I don’t think he deserves any of this.” She was being honest as she now had her arms around him. “... I would do anything to help him turn back if I could.”

“Well I met him long before that, and honestly, I doubt you’d have liked him then. However, it seems being tiny has humbled him.” Rarity replies, before getting really close. “At least as far as Tania has said, I’ve yet to see this new humble side to you Blueblood.”

“Have you really met Blueblood?” Tania decided to ask, knowing a bit about the unicorn mare in some of Blueblood’s conversation. “I mean, he told me you only met at a formal party. And he also said you seemed like all the other mares in the other parties before. Wanting to spend time with him since he was royalty. So… he did the same thing that he always did to get rid of mares wanting him only for his title: being rude, impolite, and unlike a proper prince to get rid of them… though, he did tell me that he’s done that so many times that it became a part of him...” She explained, the last voice break sounding just like Rarity surprisingly. “He also wishes he could take back all those moments… and try and do things a better way. But… there is no better way to turn down a woman, am I right?”

Twilight rolls her eyes a bit. “That’s definitely not the Blueblood I remember from my foalhood.” She says while writing down the results of the scans. “It is nice of you to try and defend him and make him sound better than he really was, but the unfortunate truth is that the Blueblood that Rarity met that night was the same Blueblood practically everypony else met. The only times I remember him being cordial and courteous were when Princess Celestia was around. I should know, when I met Blueblood the roles were reversed and he was trying to impress me, of course I found nothing impressive about pulling mean jokes with the palace staff or acting like a snob. As Rarity said, becoming small has humbled him into the pony you know now.”

“Well, what if where Blueblood was raised made him who he was back then?” She said. “You should also know how bad Canterlot is, and seeing how busy Celestia is, and that Luna was… absent, it shouldn’t be his fault for Canterlot to make him see his title as some type of power he was born with.” She said, knowing how some people were either harsh or just rude cause of the world they lived in. “You can’t blame him for that. He probably didn’t have anyone to be with him. His parents could’ve been like all the other nobles, and seeing that being a prince made him gain a big ego, everything just added up to him being like he was before.”

“I was raised in Canterlot and I didn’t turn out like that.” Twilight replies, a little annoyed since she knew many ponies, including nobles that were actually quite nice. “Celestia is his Aunt, likely very great Aunt considering how long she’s lived, it wasn’t her job to raise him, especially while running the country. There are also plenty of kind nobles in Canterlot, in fact there are only a hoof-full that I can think of that weren’t, including his parents. No, it was Blueblood himself that decided to act like that.”

“But you probably had your parents to give you love, affection and support. Have you ever thought that his parents were just acting nice around you cause you were a princess? Or more like one of the element bearers?” She said, also seeming to be annoyed that Twilight would say he was bad on his own. “You were probably around ponies that liked you, that were kind and caring. Since Blueblood was born a prince, he probably had to be taught how to be a prince, being by himself, and most likely never had the chance to have a friend, a real friend. You say that he’s a bad person, but every bad person can have a second chance at being good. You should even know that.” She said. “You’re just treating him like a villain. And I don’t care if he was bad back then, or if he was still bad now, I wouldn’t give up on him even if he wanted me to stop.

“I wasn’t always a princess, an alicorn, or an element bearer. In fact, my family wasn’t even noble. However my parents and I had friends who were in the nobility. As I said, Blueblood’s behavior was all his own, I’m not saying he couldn’t have or hasn’t changed, I’m just explaining that Blueblood wasn’t always as nice as he is now. I’m glad you’ve given him a chance and that he’s a much kinder stallion than he used to be.” Twilight explains. “Now, the scans have showed that somehow, you are harnessing magic through your voice. Hmm, I think I can explain what’s going on. You, like unicorn, and alicorn, foals are having magic surges. You just need to be taught how to control it.” Twilight says. “You can stay here while you learn to control it or you could go back to Canterlot and either Blueblood or Swiffer can help you there.”

“I… I don’t know. You said you already have some people over, s-so I don’t want to impose.” She said, not wanting to be any more rude as she was acting just awhile ago. “Maybe I should just go b-back home...” She mumbled.

“Don’t worry about it, you can stay if you like. After all, I don’t have a palace staff or anything, so a lot of the castle goes unused. Actually it’s rather exciting to have more guests in the castle.” Twilight replies, before giggling. “Besides, from what Princess Celestia told me, you’re probably going to have some new accommodations when you get back. Something about a week long deal.”

“Y-yeah… I guess you know about the deal too huh?” She rubbed the back of her neck as she looked away, a little embarrassed about the deal. “Not really looking forward to it...”

“Well, if you stay, then you’ll be able to avoid it for a while and learn how to control your voice magic at the same time. Or you can go back if you really want, and learn there from either Celestia or Blueblood.” Twilight says. “The choice is yours.”

Why is it always my choice!?’ She thought as she wasn’t used to choosing things all the time. “I… I don’t know.” She repeated her answer yet again, looking over at Blueblood to see what his decision on the options would be.

“I uh, I’m not too sure I could help you control it, I’m not too good at magic myself.” He says, blushing in embarrassment and rubbing the back of his head with a hoof. “My Auntie could probably teach you or of course these two would be good to learn from as well. I guess it just depends on whether or not you want to be learning to control your magic while inside a stomach, my aunts stomach to be specific.”

She still didn’t know what to do, unsure on which would be better: to stay in a castle with another alicorn she didn’t know, while also staying in the same castle with others who may or may not be like her, or to go back to the castle, and learn how to control the magic within the co-ruler of Equestria’s stomach. There were some good and bad parts of both options. She needed to think about it.

“If it’ll help you decide, I can introduce you to the others who are here.” Twilight suggests. “I could also show you the room you three would be in while you’re here. Of course you could even switch sizes with Rarity if you want. It only lasts for a few days or until I or Starlight Glimmer end it, which we’d only do if you were in danger or you wanted to go back to being tiny.”

That only brought more questions in Tania’s head. ‘Is the magic that cause the whole tiny thing the reason? And if it is, will switching sizes also get rid of the voice problem?’ She thought, not thinking of asking herself, she also wanted to ask why they couldn’t do this spell on other living organisms like flowers and plants. Would the magic make it unable to digest the food, or will it evaporate or maybe blend into the magic of the ponies and just vanish all together? Really, this was only making her question more, but not seek out answers as she felt it was staring at her face. “I...I need to think about it.” She mumbled.

“Well, maybe a tour of the castle will help make up your mind. You’ll meet the other ponies, tinies, and Spike. You’ll see the room you’ll be staying in.” Twilight suggests before looking to Starlight. “Speaking of, where’s Susan, she’s usually hanging out in your mane.”

“Oh, she got a little tired and is taking a nap, but I could see if she’s ready to get up.” Starlight replies and gently pokes at her stomach while whispering to it, or more accurately the tiny woman within. After a moment Starlight let’s out a soft burp, and then a woman walks out of her mouth and stands on her hoof. Starlight cleans the girl off with her magic. “This is my friend Susan. Susan, meet Blueblood, Swiffer, and Tania.” Starlight says introducing her to them, and the girl waves a bit shyly to the three.

Tania copied the same shy greeting as she stayed quiet this time, not really used to meeting new people that much.

“So, let’s go on the tour.” Twilight says, waving the group over. They head out the door of the study and make their way around the castle. She shows them to the more important rooms like the dining room and the Friendship map room. Eventually they make their way to the guest rooms and knock on a particular door. The door opens and reveals a giant woman in a t-shirt and shorts. “Hello Lindsey, can we come in?”

Lindsey quickly looks over the group, giggling as she spots a hiding Blueblood. “Sure.” She says walking deeper into the room.

The group walks in and take seats that have just been moved to face the bed where the giantess sits down, next to her is a pegasus filly, and on her lap are three tinies, one a young boy, another is a young man, and the third is a young, disabled girl. “Tania, Blueblood, and Swiffer, these are Lindsey, Daisy, Cody, Tyler, and Stacy.”

Stacy was currently in the middle of eating a really tasty tiny-pop… or more like a lollipop for tinies. She only gave a small wave before she went back to her treat, lollipops being one of her favorite candies.

Tania meanwhile only gave a small wave to the others, more worried that her voice would go crazy after talking normal for awhile. Especially to a giant human in which the same situation that happened to Celestia would happen again.

Blueblood looks up from behind Tania and looks at the group across from them. Lindsey notices him and giggles. She points to her mouth, then traces her finger down her throat, and finishes by making a heart shape with her hands while winking at the tiny stallion. Daisy on the other hand actually gets up off the bed and canters over, staring straight at Blueblood with her head tilted in a curious look.

After a moment of silence, Lindsey decides to try and start up a conversation. “So, how are you enjoying Equestria Tania?” She asks, feeling a bit awkward after asking such a stupid question.

Tania couldn’t stop herself from slightly glaring at Lindsey, knowing that she was part of Blueblood’s… situation, and at the signals she was giving him, she wrapped her arms around the stallion yet again, feeling that she would have to keep him close if she was going to stay here… if. “I’m doing fine…” She answered, looking away once she notice her voice broke yet again. “Up until now, you could tell.

“Awe, don’t be mad, I was just teasing him. As nostalgic as it would be to enjoy my first tiny treat, I’ve already got three to myself.” Lindsey replies with a giggle.

Daisy gets closer, sniffing at Blueblood, as if she were wondering if he was real. Swiffer only giggles a bit at the filly’s actions. Blueblood on the other hand isn’t too keen on possibly ending up inside a filly and presses himself against Tania, trying to make himself look even smaller and possibly unappetizing because of it.

Tania couldn’t hide the blush on her cheeks at close he was, squishing her chest a little with his head(and a bit of his horn) while she just let him huddle closer to herself, still having her arms over him and petting his mane to make him feel better and less scared.

Daisy gets even closer, getting her muzzle just inches (feet to Tania and Blueblood) away. “Why is he so tiny?” She asks the two, her voice full of childish curiosity.

“Ask Tinyzilla over there.” She pointed a thumb at the giant human, not wanting to really answer if Blueblood didn’t want to.

Lindsey lets out a giggle. “Tinyzilla? I’m a Kaiju now? Oh, oh! What’s my special power? Atomic breath? Ice breath? Regeneration?” She asks playfully.

Tania didn’t give an answer as she turned her head back down at Blueblood, a bit of a sad look in her eyes as she hugged him close. “... he got the short end of her golden opportunity.” She decided to answer anyways since it seemed obvious that Lindsey wasn’t gonna answer. “I thought it would be obvious even for a filly.”

“Golden opportunity?” Daisy asks, not understanding Tania’s answer.

“He’s the unicorn stallion that decided to chase me down, laugh at my fear, and then tried to eat me only to sneeze and his magic went wild and he ended up taking the spell away from me permanently.” Lindsey explains further, summing up what happened that Tania obviously didn’t know. “I guess that it’s because of him, I can now be you and Cody’s temporary mom, until your own parents arrive with Cody’s.”

“Oh.” Daisy says, now understanding, before giving the tiny stallion, and by proximity Tania a small kiss. “Thank you!” She says merrily before returning to the bed and nuzzling Lindsey a bit.

At first, Tania would’ve gone against what the woman said to defend the pony she grown attached to, but seeing how the filly was grateful for Blueblood’s accident(which she called it), she decided to leave it be, it not being important since she couldn’t help but think what happened was the better, seeing how because of it, she also met him, and why he became a better stallion.

Lindsey quickly puts two and two together. “You two are together. Awe, Blueblood, I thought what we had was special.” She says with a faux pout.

Tania didn’t really give a reaction or response as she only buried some of her head into his mane, already smelling the fancy shampoo and conditioner he used all the time. She could obviously tell she was just pulling their legs, the simple story not really being a good ‘first introduction’ of a ‘loving relationship’. She only rolled her eyes.

Lindsey giggles again. “So, how long have you two been together?” She asks curiously.

... a month.” Tania mumbled, not really used to talking about this… topic, more so cause she never had to when it was just them two and Celestia. She didn’t quite tell her parents yet, but she only prayed Celestia didn’t tell them herself.

“Actually about three weeks.” Swiffer says. “They have even managed to avoid a lot of tummy time during those three weeks.” The maid comments.

Only cause you were too busy doing your job to not try and eat Blueblood again.” Tania explained. “Also not a lot of ponies visit Celestia’s chambers.

“There are enough though, a few other staff members clean Celestia’s chambers besides myself. Then of course Celestia herself does have a bit of a sweet tooth for tinies, Luna too, and let’s not forget that a few of her close aids are allowed into her room to speak with her.” Swiffer replies. “Then there’s the fact that you two have run around the castle on multiple occasions.”

“They probably came when me and Blueblood weren’t there. But that’s only to get our own food.” Tania only shrugged as she never really saw another pony come in other than Swiffer either cleaning the room or visiting during her break to see how she was doing.

Blueblood rolls his eyes a bit. “We didn’t just leave to get food. Remember we played those games you tinies always play at the castle. Two days ago we ended up bathing in some guard’s pea soup when we lost one of those games. Then there was that Wonderbolt a week ago and the lasagna she’d eaten for lunch.”

“I thought we weren’t going to talk about those...” She turned her head away as she really didn’t want to talk about the moments where she was eaten. “And that only happened cause you lost those games and I was dragged along.”

Blueblood rubs the back of his head. “Yeah, sorry about that.” He says apologetically. “We did get to meet the entire Wonderbolt team though.” He says, as if it made up for the fact they were eaten.

“Or more like we met their eaten lunch.” She rolled her eyes, squeezing Blueblood a little closer. “I would be fine with the size difference if this whole eating us thing wasn’t legal.” She mumbled, burying her mouth in the stallion’s mane yet again.

“Alright, you’ve met each other.” Twilight spoke up. “I’ll show you to the room you’ll be staying in if you decide to remain here for a while.” She ushers them to follow her and leads them down the hall a little bit, opening up another door and leading them into a similar room, only it was smaller considering that Swiffer was the only pony in the group that is normal sized. There were even separate beds for Blueblood and Tania to sleep in. “How do you like it?” She asks the group.

“...are you sure you didn’t set this up while we were on our way here?” Tania just had to ask, not sure if a bedroom just happens to have beds for two tinies and one pony. It would make more sense if it was for two ponies and one tiny.

“Well of course I did, after all it’s best to be prepared if you have guests staying for a while.” Twilight replies. “There’s even some working, tiny sized bathroom pieces for you, so you can bathe and… use the bathroom privately.”

I knew it.’ She thought, looking around from her perch on Swiffer’s back, seeing how clean and tidy the place is.

“Oh and Rarity said she’d make extra clothes for you if you’d like, once she’s shrunk down.” Twilight informs Tania. “Okay, so I’ll head off and give you some time to decide, dinner will be in about fifteen minutes so you can give me your decision then.” She says before heading out the door, gently closing it behind her.

“I’m not sure about this.” She admitted, rubbing her arms nervously. “I mean, even though she’s nice… she’s still a stranger to me. I don’t know anything about her… and I don’t know what she, those tinies, that filly, or that giant human is going to do. I… I’m scared.” She finally said, at one moment sounding just like the purple alicorn.

Swiffer raises an eyebrow. “Really? They scare you, there’s only the eight of them in this entire castle. Shouldn’t you be this fearful back at Canterlot where there’s always a bunch of tinies and ponies you don’t know? I mean, you even run around the castle playing games that get you eaten if you lose, or depending on the pony’s mood, even if you win, and the only ponies you know back at Canterlot are the chef, the four alicorns there, and tiny Blueblood who is on everypony’s eat list.” She explains, questioning Tania’s logic at the moment. “Heck, you were lucky a week ago because that griffon was eyeing the both of you up but I got to you two just a little faster and all you had to deal with was the salad I had for lunch rather than a one way ticket to Griffonstone.”

“Yeah, but I’ve worked in that castle for months, this is my first time here, how else am I going to feel being someplace I’ve never been to before.” She said, defending herself. “Don’t question how I feel, I’ve been nowhere else but in Canterlot and I don’t know what this town is like, okay?” She said, knowing that of course they would feel different since they most likely went somewhere else. “And even if I wanted to go anywhere else, Celestia just gave the reason of a tiny by themselves going on a train full of ponies.” She said. “I can’t go anywhere, so it makes sense why I would be scared in a new place.”

“Well, you don’t have to worry about Ponyville, I’m from here, it’s a really nice small town.” Swiffer replies. “From what I’ve heard from my friends here, tinies are treated much better here than in most other cities. The only real worry is the ‘Gulper’ and she only really grabs the new arrivals that are in danger… most of the time. You’ve even met her before, she’s that rainbow maned Wonderbolt. Besides, would you rather learn to control your magic here, where you’re free to roam or in Celestia’s stomach, especially since you’ll probably be coming out the other end every so often?” Swiffer asks. “In the end though, the decision is up to you.”

Ugh! I hate deciding things...’ She thought angrily, wishing that someone else would just pick. “I just need more time...” She mumbled, turning away as she could already feel a headache coming from all of this.

Swiffer sets Tania and Blueblood down. “Well, I’ll let you think. I’m going to go take a nice bath while we’ve got some time.” She says, before heading into the bathroom and closing the door. Just as she’s about to close the door she sticks her head out and looks at Blueblood. “No peeking!” She says teasingly to the stallion still in Tania’s arms. Blueblood just rearranges himself in Tania’s grasp so he can return the hug, and he nuzzles her cheek.

Tania couldn’t stop the blush on her cheeks appearing when Blueblood wrapped his hooves around her neck, nuzzling her cheek as that made her crack a small smile of appreciation, soon resting her head on his shoulder while she was still carrying him.

“I think we should stay here.” Blueblood says, while still nuzzling her. “After all, every day here is another day we’re not in my Auntie’s stomach, or trying to get back up in there.” He explains with a bit of a shudder, remembering the creepy feel of the villi in the intestines.

“I know, but what if she just thinks I’m staying to stay away from our deal? It’s not really fair after she let us go out to the gardens. I know you needed that staying in that dusty castle.” She said. “I mean, staying here sound like the best, but I’m still unsure about this town. You never know what might happen.”

“Let’s see, if I remember right, from what I’ve heard from Auntie. Any minute now some pink pony should be bursting out of nowhere to throw a welcome party. Should we decide to stay for a while that is.” Blueblood says. “That party will introduce us to everypony and everyone in town. There’ll be lots of party snacks and desserts. Oh, and I’ve heard that she stops anypony from eating tinies at these events now.”

“I would more likely say tries to.” She corrected him. “Since this Gulper pony would most likely be there, and I’m not sure if ponies here know that you changed… but not in the physical way.”

Pinkie Pie jumps out of nowhere and lands next to them. “Hey, Dashie’s Pinkie Promised that she wouldn’t eat any tinies at my parties, and so has everypony else!” She exclaims. She then gives the two a smile, which somehow emits the squeak of a rubber duck. “By the way, I’m Pinkie Pie, nice to meet you two!” She introduces herself gleefully.

The two literally bounced from their spot when Pinkie came out of nowhere, Tania couldn’t stop herself from letting out a small yelp in surprise, quick to shield herself behind the much smaller stallion.

Pinkie Pie giggles. “Awe, don’t worry, if I was going to eat you two, I’d have done it already.” She says with her typical wide smile. She then lowers herself to the ground as much as possible, to make herself look a little smaller to the two. “Though if you want me to, I definitely won’t mind!” She says in her also typical, ever excited voice. “Ooh wait! You’re Blueblood, Equestria’s first tiny pony! I’ve got to taste you!” The pink pony says before slurping Blueblood up, leaving Tania untouched. “Mmm, vanilla!” She exclaims as she continues tasting the tiny stallion.

Tania was taken by surprised when she did that, somehow not touching her even though the female tiny was holding the stallion in her arms. She would question it, but felt that she would never get an answer to it.

Just as suddenly, and physics breaking, as she’d slurped up Blueblood, Pinkie places him back in Tania’s arms in the position he was in before, and he was even dry as if she’d never had him in her mouth. “Mmm, can I taste you now?” She asks Tania, still smiling widely.

“I could j-just tell you what I taste like...” She said shyly, hiding her face behind Blueblood in a shy manner.

“Awe, but that’s no fun. It’s much more fun to actually taste you.” She says with a giggle. “So, can I? Can I, can I, can I?!” She asks excitedly, as if she were still a child.

“Do I even have a choice..?” She mumbled, thinking she would anyways… maybe not now, but soon.

“What? You think I’m mean enough not to give you a choice? I was only asking if I could. If you don’t want me tasting you then I won’t.” Pinkie replies. “If you want I can even make it easier for you and just lick you, or let you stand on my tongue for little while.”

Tania thought about it for a moment, before she sighed and gave in. “Fine, just make it quick.” She already made herself ready as she turned her head away and closed her eyes.

Pinkie giggles a bit, before slurping the girl up just like she had Blueblood. “Mmm, you taste good too!” She says with a giggle, before putting the girl back, again as if she’d never been in Pinkie’s mouth, still even holding Blueblood. “Marble cake, you’re delicious!” Pinkie says merrily. “Oh, um what’s your name?” Pinkie asks, suddenly realizing that she didn’t know the tiny girl’s name.

“T-Tania...” She answered, still a little nervous and shy around the mare.

Pinkie Pie giggles. “You’re really shy around new people and ponies, aren’t you? You’d get along well with my sister, Marble Pie, or my friend Fluttershy!” She says excitedly, before humming in thought to herself. She then extends her hoof out, it hovering barely over the floor in front of them. “Here you go, some cupcakes just for you two, to make you feel better after I tasted you.” The pony removes her hoof and sure enough, sitting perfectly on the ground are two cupcakes just the right size for them.

Once again, she felt like questioning, but stopped her train of thought as the same reason appeared the first time she wanted to question something about the way this mare works. When she took the white frosted cupcake, it was obvious that it was going to be vanilla, but when she took some of the wrapping off, she saw that the pastry part had random specks of colors, kind of like confetti baked into the cupcake. Thankfully it was just well placed food coloring and not real confetti.

Pinkie just gave the girl another one of her squeaky smiles. She sits there waiting for Tania and Blueblood to try the cupcakes. Blueblood takes a bite of his, he chews it slowly at first, before letting out a loud hum of enjoyment and starts eating it faster.

Tania didn’t give much of a reaction to the taste of the cupcake, more so cause she was busy eating it a little faster, it tasting that good. It was an addictive taste, but not annoyingly sugary like those candy corns on halloween… not that she hated them, she think’s they’re pretty good as well.

Pinkie Pie giggles and clops her hooves together. “Yay! Wanna be friends?!” She asks merrily. “Oh, speaking of.” She turns and knocks on the bathroom door. “Hi Swiffer!”

“Hey Pinkie. I was wondering when you were going to show up. Just glad you didn’t pop up in here.” Swiffer replies.

Pinkie just giggles. “I only do that for comedic effect.” She replied before turning back to the two. “So anyway, wanna be friends?!” She asks again.

“Uhm… s-sure?” Tania wasn’t sure if it would be better to say yes or no, but seeing that this pony was rather nice, and gave them cupcakes, then who was she to say no after the small act of kindness she gave them, especially since she didn’t treat Blueblood as apprehensively as everyone else.

Pinkie Pie clops her hooves together some more. “Yay! Oh, oh! Are you going to be staying here for a while? If you are I’ve got a party to plan!” She says excitedly. “Are you going to stay?” She asks happily, she doesn’t care about the answer, but she would like to throw a party.

“I… haven’t decided yet.” She answered, not even sure if she was just lying to herself or not.

Pinkie sits there a moment. “Oh, okay.” Pinkie replies. “Well, I’ve got to go get the party stuff prepared just in case.” She giggles before opening the door and hopping off.

“Well, that was… interesting.” Blueblood comments. He’s about to say something when his eyes go wide and he seems to freeze in place.

Standing in the doorway is Lindsey, the giant woman appearing even larger now that she is standing up rather than sitting down, and even more since the two are standing on the floor practically at her feet. “Hey there.” She says, still looming over them. “I see you met Pinkie Pie. How’d that go?” She asks.

Tania didn’t answer right away as she scooted back a little, seeing how big she really was, once again bringing Blueblood close since she didn’t want him to get eaten as much as she herself didn’t want to. “I-it went fine...” She turned her head away, not wanting to be scared just by looking at her.

Lindsey walks into the room and shuts the door, before she effortlessly picks the two up, setting them in the palm of her hand. “Yeah, that’s the reaction I’ve been getting from everyone lately. I’m either the sexy giant lady that everyone stares at or the scary giant lady that everyone runs from. I have to admit, sometimes I miss being tiny.” She says to the two. “Don’t worry, I’m not going to swallow either of you… yet.”

Tania couldn’t stop herself from letting out a small squeak of surprise when she was lifted off the ground by the back of her dress, holding onto Blueblood as she was placed sitting on the giant woman’s hand, not even being as tall as her pointer finger… it made her a little nervous knowing that she was also told that she had yet to be eaten. “You aren’t making yourself look better by saying that.

Lindsey giggles a bit. “I suppose not, but hey, I love teasing people. Isn’t that right Blueblood?” She asks the tiny stallion, who nods in reply. “So, how’d you like my friends, and at the moment, adoptive children?” She asks Tania out of curiosity.

“Well, it’s no surprise that a person would adopt a person, and the pony thing is kinda new… but I don’t think you can adopt two adults.” She admitted, never hearing of a human adopting a pony, but this would be the more ‘normal’ way, seeing as a filly or a colt can push their adoptive parent around if they were still small.

Lindsey giggles some more. “I didn’t adopt Tyler or Stacy. They’re just friends.” She says looking off with a bit of a sigh. “Now Cody and Daisy I’ve adopted, until or unless their parents show up.” Lindsey replies before giggling some more. “You know what’s interesting though, I’ve heard that rarely a tiny will adopt a foal. I wonder how well that works, considering the kid you’ve adopted is capable of eating you?”

“I think that isn’t a good idea… Unless they are as small as Blueblood.” She said, imagining the human and the young pony swapping sizes until it’s the end of the day… or something.

Lindsey giggles some more. “You try telling them it isn’t a good idea.” She says with a laugh. “A friend of mine did, even when I tried to convince him not to adopt that filly. He actually lives up in Canterlot, you may even have met him. Well, if you get out of the castle every so often that is, or possibly if you’ve been to Celestia’s gifted unicorn school. She likes to smuggle him to school every so often. How about those tinies that fall in love with ponies?” She asks with a bit of a giggle.

“I guess that’s okay. I mean, I should be the last to say it’s wrong… or anything.” She couldn’t hide the blush on her cheeks when she reminded herself that she was somewhat in the same situation… but with a far smaller gap from the size difference.

“Oh I know that, I just find it funny with the size difference, just like it’d be funny for me to have a tiny in love with me.” Lindsey replies. “I mean, wouldn’t it be pretty difficult, if you catch my drift?” She asks with a giggle and a bit of a blush.

“Well, if whatever Twilight was planning for Rarity, I don’t think she would mind helping out around… those circumstances.” She also blushed at the thought. “I mean, if it isn’t that hard for her.”

Lindsey starts to laugh, accidentally showing off her maw to the two. “I think that would be a bit embarrassing don’t you?” She asks, still laughing. “Though, somehow I think guys would like being around a giant woman, don’t you?”

“Mmmmmmmaybe?” Tania stuttered a little before she spoke, unsure if she would really want the giant woman around… more so with the moment of hinting that she would eat Blueblood and herself later on. She may not have been eaten by a human before, but she knows that she wouldn’t have a chance of getting out herself like she would to a pony… if they were laying down and asleep.

“So, Blueblood tastes like french vanilla, what do you taste like?” Lindsey asks, suddenly changing the topic. “I wonder, do you two complement each other’s flavors? Think I should find out?” As she asks the questions, her personality seems to have changed even, suddenly seeming either serious or hungry.

“I h-have a feeling that even if I told you, y-you would want to find out for y-yourself.” She thought out loud, knowing that same look that she wore like all the other ponies. “No point in answering if you’re going to do it either way.” She seemed a little down saying that, not really fond of being eaten, but always knowing she had little to no choice on the matter.

Lindsey gives Tania an apologetic look. “Awe, I’m sorry. I was just curious, I’m fine with you just telling me what you taste like if that’s okay?” Lindsey asks.

“Celestia told me I taste like marble cake.” She answered, still feeling that she would now that she knows.

“Ooh, that’s not good. Tasting like cake around the cake princess of the sun.” Lindsey comments with a sympathetic look. “Especially having a certain stallion that tastes like vanilla ice cream as a boyfriend.” She then giggles a bit. “Though, I guess that means that you two’s relationship is in good taste.” The giant woman sticks the tip of her tongue out, giggling at her terrible pun.

Tania couldn’t help but giggle at the terrible pun, it being one of the most unfunny things that she thought was laughable as long as it was at the right moment.

Lindsey giggles some more. “You know, I almost feel like having a taste myself before Celestia hogs you to herself.” She says. “However, I don’t want you thinking that I’m some tiny eating monster like a certain tiny friend I have, and I’m fairly certain she still thinks that about me, even with that odd crush she has on me.”

Y-yeah… you should at least remember the times when you didn’t want to get eaten… b-before all that happened.” She mumbled the last part as she looked down.

“I’m certain Blueblood remembers the last time I didn’t want to get eaten.” Lindsey replies, before sighing. “I bet you already think of me as a monster, don’t you?” She asks, figuring the tiny girl probably considers anyone who eats tinies a monster, just like Stacy.

It took a moment for her to answer, the hesitation not being good on her part before she answered truthfully. “Well, if I’m being honest… just a little. B-but I don’t see you as a monster… more like a pony that’s a human instead. But, that’s how I feel about every new pony I meet, so it’s not like I think you’re the only monster. I know there are far worse people than you...” She lightly rubbed her arm as her eyes glanced away for just a moment. “But, I have a fe-fe-fe-feeling anyone would feel that way no matter who it was who got big. And just like some humans have gotten used to ponies, I don’t think it would be hard to get used to your own species… but bigger.

Lindsey sighs a bit. “Sure, you say that now, but I doubt you’d stay thinking the same if I decided to put you in my mouth, or even further, swallowed you. Just like, well, you can probably guess.” Lindsey says, carefully placing the two onto a pony sized nightstand, which is also where the tiny beds are, before sitting on the pony sized bed. “No matter what I do, it just seems like I can’t do anything right around tinies.”

“Well, maybe that’s what ‘the gulper’ thinks as well. I mean, if they are as bad as the name makes her as.” She said, thinking that a pony who eats every tiny doesn’t have the best reputation around tinies.

“Oh yeah, Dash was real thorough about explaining her feelings to Stacy, especially after what she’d said about basically anyone who even thinks about eating a tiny, didn’t even get through to her either.” Lindsey says. “She’s not the easiest tiny to get along with.” She sighs sadly, still remembering how the friendship between the two dissolved as fast as alka seltzer in water.

“Maybe she just had a bad experience and assumed the worst.” Tania lightly shrugged as she didn’t know much about this Stacy girl. “Or just a bad past that made her turn out worse.”

“I don’t know.” Lindsey replies. “According to Dash, she’d acted that way even when she first arrived. The funny part is that she has a crush on me, even though she’s scared that I’ll eat her all the time.” Lindsey says with a bit of a unenthusiastic giggle.

“Well, maybe she isn’t sure that she likes you, but maybe giving you the trust of a lover to you. You could always be the first person that she ever interacted with, and she jumped to that conclusion. If you’re right about her having a bad view on everyone, I don’t think saying no to her is a go-go-good idea.”

“No, she just has a bad view of everyone big, like me or ponies.” Lindsey says with a sigh. “You should see her normally, she constantly berates and treats everyone bigger than her like dirt, and then when they react negatively she acts like they’re the monster and that it’s their fault she’s in the mess she’s in and not her own fault. If anything it makes me feel like, to her, I’m a pet, a pet she’s become sexually attracted to and can have a conversation with, but no different than the typical animal and she doesn’t realize it but she’s an abusive owner. The worst part is, everyone else notices but doesn’t speak up about it because they, and I, already know how she’ll react.” Lindsey sighs again. “I’m sorry for dropping all my problems on you, and you and I don’t even know each other, I’ll just… Yeah.” She says standing up and walking to the door.

“B-but wait! You probably don’t know what she’s been through. She could’ve been though something bad. Maybe she’s been alone all this time and just forgot how to be around people, more so around those who have more power over her. No one is bad… just… they… just need help being a better person.” She said, before looking down at Blueblood and holding his hoof. “Just like how you see yourself as some monster, she may just not like being pushed around, and probably shows her weak self when she can’t do anything about it. I mean, did you do things that you yourself wouldn’t like if somepony were to do it to you if you were small again?”

“No, I do know, she’s told me. She lived alone for a while, then with Dash the ‘Gulper’ for a while, and now with me. She treats me like dirt up until I decide to stand up for myself and then suddenly I’m the monster. Did I do anything to her that I wouldn’t have liked? Not as far as I can remember, I got used to being tiny pretty quickly, and now I’m normal, huge, and everyone I knew is afraid of me.” Lindsey replies sadly.

“Well… I’m not afraid of you.” She admitted, now seeing that Lindsey was just another person who was given an unexpected gift that also was a curse of some sort. She wanted to add that people get used to this sudden change at some point, but she had a feeling she knew that and this Stacy girl was taking much longer than anyone else. ‘Heck, I bet she isn’t the only one that isn’t used to all this… like my father.

“You were a second ago.” Lindsey replies with a sigh. “Especially when I was talking about eating you two.” She says walking back over and kneeling to be at eye level with the tiny girl and stallion. “So, what’s changed?” Lindsey asks.

Tania was able to stand her ground when she answered, and admitted why exactly she was ‘scared’. “I was more worried on Blueblood. You should know first hand how he was with his… history.” She lightly rubbed the back of her head before she spoke again, trying her best to look at both of her eyes… right before she just focused on one. “And by how you were talking and how you looked, I guess I can see that being the biggest isn’t exactly the best. You’re just like everyone else, and me and everyone else just treated you like an alien… an outcast. I’m… I’m sorry.” She apologized.

“Oh yes, I had plenty of time to get to know Blueblood after the incident.” Lindsey pats her stomach a bit. “Just in here was his room for a couple weeks, Celestia’s punishment for his behavior for all those years.” She then let’s out a sigh. “Yeah, it’s great being back to normal, until you realize that everyone else is only an inch tall, are utterly terrified of you, and everything you do to try and remedy that doesn’t work because even reaching out to pick them up has them paralysed with fear. I-I’m grateful for the apology, I just wish there were more people like you, Tyler, and Cody. Anyway, thank you, if you… want to hang out during your stay here I’d be happy to show you around town.”

It was now at that the offer Lindsey gave her finally clicked on her head on what she wanted to do. She was in a new area, with new ponies and tinies, and possibly a better opportunity to make more than two friends(not that they were bad or anything). “I would like that very much. At least, to get to know about the real Lindsey and all of her friends… and lover.” She lightly smirked at the last part.

Lindsey’s forehead hits the nightstand they’re on. “Hopefully with Tyler around, she’ll shift from me to him, especially since he genuinely cares for her.” Lindsey replies. “Oh, uh, just one thing. I really don’t have too many places for you guys to stay as I walk around. Just in my bra, and Blueblood knows the other place quite well. I mean, I guess there are other places as well, just like with the ponies, but those are a little, personal.”

“Yeah, there isn’t a lot of safe spots unless you have a shirt with a shirt pocket. Or those pants with those baggy pockets on the side. I think you know what I’m talking about.” She said, not sure if between her breasts was a little too personal, or was just a last option.

“Yeah I know, unfortunately I don’t have any of those. I’ve been carrying the other three between my breasts. Two of them are fine hanging out in my stomach, but Stacy doesn’t like being in there, so I usually don’t eat them. It would be so much easier if I could, I wouldn’t have to check on them every half a second to make sure they haven’t fallen out and gotten lost somewhere, or fallen into a different set of my underwear.” Lindsey replies, with a blush.

“Well, can’t you find someone to make you a pocket for your shirt? I don’t think it would be hard, even for a pony who hasn’t made clothes for a… bigger client.” She said, thinking that sewing a pocket shaped patch on her shirt wouldn’t be that hard. And if it was, she could just suggest her mother could do it since she works in a clothing repair shop, working for both humans and ponies. She even heard it was easier for her to sow for pony clothes than humans, it being a bigger size, and that she had other humans to work with to make it easier.

“Well, I don’t think it would be too comfortable in one of those pockets. Maybe I should just get a special bag. I could hang it from my belt, like a belt pouch and you guys would have plenty of room to sit, especially if the bag is made with a solid, flat bottom. Kinda like those special saddle pouches some ponies get. For now though, there’s really only plan A.” Lindsey says pointing between her breasts. “Or plan B.” She points to her stomach.

“You mean like some sort of tiny pouch?” She questioned, picturing a rock pouch instead, but with tinies instead just chilling, and obvious air holes so they wouldn’t suffocate. But the more she thought about it, the more she thought this would really help snatchers get with taking a tiny if their own stomach wasn’t enough. “Maybe it should be a one time thing if you’re planning on asking someone to make that.”

“They already make them, I’d just have to buy one and fit it to a belt.” Lindsey replies. “Some ponies like to have them so that they can keep their friends close without eating them. Many of the police ponies carry them as well, as a safe place if they arrest a snatcher who has tinies on them, or with them if the snatcher also happens to be a tiny.” She explains. “I’ll let you think about where you’d like me to put you for now though, as I said, plan a or plan b. In the meantime I’ll let the others know about our afternoon on the town, see which ones want to join in.” Lindsey says, standing up and leaving the room.

“So, I guess we get to go explore Ponyville, and possibly her stomach. Just hopefully not as far as I ‘explored’ when she had me for those couple of weeks.” Blueblood comments. “So, uh, plan a or plan b?” He asks.

“Have you forgotten that we also have a plan C? Swiffer can also carry us, whether it being on her back, mane… or her stomach.” She said, at first sounding cheerful, until she mentioned the third option. “And besides, I think it would be hard to show a town around when the people you’re showing it too can see nothing but stomach muscles and leftover food that they ate.” She admitted, wanting to be outside to actually see what was going on.

“I guess, but it’ll be hard to talk to the others either in plan a or b.” Blueblood replies.

The bathroom door opens and Swiffer steps out, a towel covering her flank and another wrapped around her mane. “Ah, nothing like a nice warm bath. So, from what I heard, Lindsey wants to take you two on a tour around town, also something about a plans a or b.” Swiffer says. “So, what’s going on?” She asks as she canters over. All the while, Blueblood averts his gaze from the mare.

“Well, I decided to stay.” She told her. “And Lindsey wants to show us around, but she only has two options, and one of them clashes with the idea of ‘showing us around’, if you can take a wild guess.” She rolled her eyes a little. “And I suggested that you would carry us on your back or something, but Blueblood pointed out that it would be hard to talk to one another that way too.”

“So we’re staying?” Swiffer asks rhetorically. “Great! It’s been awhile since I last spent some time with my sister.” She says enthusiastically. “So I guess one option has something to do with having some tiny snacks. What’s the other option?” Swiffer asks.

“Uhm… b-between the m-mounds on her ch-chest.” She stuttered, blushing as she had to say what it was, knowing that she wouldn’t know what breasts were.

“Oh, you mean her mammary glands?” Swiffer replies with a question.

“Y-yeah.” She nodded as she glanced away, her cheeks showing a pink blush.

“Okay, so you two could just ride there with the others right?” Swiffer asks, not sure what the problem would be, besides falling from there. She then licks her lips. “Cause if you want to ride with me, well, I was teased with your taste all the way here, and I think you know where I’m going with this.”

“Swiffer, you know that it would make the whole touring around the town pointless if you did that. I’ve never seen this place, are you really going to ruin it for your own desire?” She asked, feeling(but also hoping) that she would say no.

Swiffer licks her lips and gets closer. “Sorry, but you two’s taste was teasing my palate quite a bit.” Swiffer then thinks a bit. “Besides, I think I’m going to go visit my sister, niece, and adoptive nephew.”

Tania’s once pleading look turned to one of absolute seriousness, it having a bit of a glare, and the resting frown that humans mostly had. “No, Swiffer.” She said sternly as if she was talking to a dog. “We can do this later, but I am going to spend time with a giant human that is seen as nothing but a freak. So if you were a true friend, you would understand that she needs me more than your taste buds need a second serving.” Her serious look changed to become more intimidating as well, looking at her right in the eye(since she couldn’t look at both of them). “So what’s more important, your friend, or your greedy stomach?” Even her aura was more dark and cold as she was very serious on giving this newcomer what she needed, just like she did for Blueblood.

“Alright, I’ll do that later. However, as I said, I’m going to go visit my sister.” Swiffer replies. “So, go with Lindsey, talk to her, have fun.” She says, turning away and heading back to the bathroom.

Once Swiffer was out of the room, she let out a sigh and relaxed, actually a little scared that Swiffer would still eat them after she told her the threats and about Lindsey needing her more than her pony friend. She honestly didn’t like being so mean and cold to her, but sometimes Swiffer wouldn’t listen to reason.

Lindsey opens the bedroom door and walks in with Daisy. “Ready to go? Have you decided where your seating arrangements will be?” She asks, kneeling down to eye level with the two again.

“Well, there is really one option since the other ruins the plan of ‘showing us around’.” She answered, thinking that Lindsey would just know and not make her say what it was.

“Yeah, I kinda figured.” Lindsey says, raising her position a bit, the “entrance” to the area they’d be standing now positioned so they could walk in. “Well, all aboard.” She says, allowing them to “board” on their own.

Tania was a little hesitant to climb on, but once she did, she had a noticeable blush on her cheeks, her ‘seating’ oddly reminding her of a water balloon filled with warm water. She tried to not think hard on where she was, trying to think of anything else than where she was.

Lindsey waits until the two had joined the others between her breasts. After that she stands up and heads off with Daisy trailing after her. “So, any ideas where we should go first? Stacy, Tyler, any ideas?” She asks the two that had at least some knowledge of the town.

Tyler, who is sitting next to Stacy to make sure she stays sitting up, thinks of a few places. “Well, we could go to Fluttershy’s place, Rarity is here so I guess the boutique is a no go, or we could check out the shops on market street.” Tyler suggests. “How about you Stacy?” He asks the girl next to him.

Stacy only shrugged before she glanced away, figuring that keeping her mouth shut was better for everyone since she knew she was seen as the bad guy, but she felt more like a victim(or that’s what she tells herself).

“Come on Stacy, you can make suggestions too.” Lindsey encourages the tiny, disabled girl. “You’re our friend and we value your opinion too.”

Tyler snuggles up against Stacy a bit more. “Yeah, come on Stacy. If you want to go somewhere, tell us.”

Stacy did have a light blush on her cheeks at the snuggling, but gave a cold glare at the guy, it being enough that she wasn’t going to budge.

“She’s stubborn, but I love her.” Tyler says, still snuggling her.

Lindsey lets out a sigh. “Well, I guess we’ll be heading to the farm first anyway. Gotta drop Daisy off so she and Cody can visit their friends from school.”

Daisy lets out a cute cheer. “Hopefully they can help me get my cutie mark too!” She exclaims excitedly.

“So, I guess it’s off to Sweet Apple Acres then.” Lindsey says, and the group heads off. “Well, you two get to meet one of Twilight’s friends named Applejack.” The filly and the woman head off toward the farm, the low v in her shirt allowing Tania and Blueblood to see the town in front of them. “How’s the view?” Lindsey asks, with a bit of a giggle considering their current position. Blueblood doesn’t reply, he just tries to remain standing on the shifting cloth floor, while blushing considering his position.

W-we’re fine, thanks.” Tania was quick to answer as she kept her hands gripped from the shirt, and huddled her feet close as to not try and touch any ‘skin’ from her spot. But if she was also being honest, she was somewhat amazed by how high her perch was, for the first time being able to look down at ponies instead of just Blueblood himself.

Lindsey just giggles a bit, causing the her breasts to jiggle a bit. “Sorry about that.” She apologizes still giggling slightly. The filly and the woman make their way through the town, eventually getting to a trail out of town a bit. Then they reach the farm entrance and see the large orchard of apples, along with some amount of other farm crops and animals.

“Howdy Daisy, Lindsey!” Says a feminine southern voice. Then the orangish pony with a blond mane and a stetson enter their vision. “The Crusaders are up at their clubhouse Daisy.” The pony informs the little filly who rushes excitedly off towards a part of the orchard. “So Lindsey, how’re y’all doin’?”

“I’m doing good, just showing some new friends around town, along with Stacy and Tyler.” Lindsey replies, pulling the entire group out of her bosom, leaving them in her palm. “Say hi to Applejack.”

Tyler waves. “What’s up Freckles?” The greeting causes Applejack to laugh a bit.

Blueblood gulps nervously and just waves a hoof a little.

Stacy only gave a small wave, having met Applejack before when she was still with Dash.

Tania also waved. “Hello.” She spoke, her voice ‘glitching’ to make it sound like she had a higher pitch that somewhat matched her size.

“Well howdy there, little sugar cube. A’hm Applejack, welcome to Ponyville and Sweet Apple Acres!” The orange pony, now obviously known as Applejack introduces herself to Tania.

“Names Tania, and I could assume this farm would relate to apples seeing all the apple trees.” She lightly joked. “Nice that it mostly produces the fruit that keeps the doctors away.”

“Nice tah meet another tiny who loves apples. Would’ja like ta try one?” Applejack asks, leading them to a barn.

“Well it would be more rude to reject your offer, sure.” She smiled, already liking this mare more than just for her ordinary(yet fitting) stetson atop of her head. She could only imagine how nice it would be to actually ride on the rims of a hat.

“Well alright then, Ah’ll let yall try an apple.” Applejack says leading them into the barn, where they see a large, red stallion, though still much shorter than Lindsey. “Oh, this is mah brother, Big Mac.” She introduces him, though his reply is a short nod while he stares at them. “Oh, an’ there on his yoke is Claire.” Sure enough, there on the yoke he seems to be wearing for no reason is a tiny girl who waves at the group.

Dang, does every pony have at least one tiny with them?’ She thought, only giving a silent wave at the two as well, seeing that the stallion wasn’t as talkative, and quite possibly the tiny as well.

The group makes its way through the barn and Applejack pulls an apple from one of many baskets full. She then moves to a small area of the barn with a sink and a knife, where she carefully cuts a few specks off the apple, large enough to the tiny members of the group to be considered apples to them. She then cuts the rest of the apple in half, giving a one half to Lindsey, while eating the other half herself. “Alright, here y’all go.”

Tania was a little eager to try the apple piece, her part having a bit of the skin on it. She took a small bite out of it, it being almost the same size as a normal apple to her in her point of view. She could easily notice how sweet it was, but also how hard and fresh it was as she sat on the palm of Lindsey’s hand.

Lindsey stands there, holding the tinies in one hand while using her other hand to eat the half of the apple AJ had given her. She hums to herself, enjoying the taste. Tyler is part keeping Stacy sitting up on Lindsey’s hand and eating his own ‘apple’ as well. Blueblood is also enjoying the apple piece, using his magic to hold it. Stacy was still silent as she gave a small nod of thanks before she ate her ‘apple’, hiding the small enjoyment within her on how good the fruit was.

Tania was the first to finish hers, being able to eat the whole thing(since it was just a piece). “Thank you miss Applejack, I can see why this farm would be called ‘Sweet’ Apple Acres, with nice and kind apple farmers such as yourself.” She thanks before sneaking in a small complement.

“Ah shoot, weren’t nothing little sugar cube.” Applejack replies, blushing a bit at the complement. “Well, come along everypony, it’s getting about time I do the afternoon patrol. The thing with our apples is they tend to attract thieves, especially now with tinies hidin’ out in the orchard. Ah would take them all to the villages but some of them get away, and my gut can only hold so many anyway.” AJ informs the group, leading them out of the barn and back to the entrance.

Tania was a little bias on the idea of eating tinies who were probably just getting more food for themselves or others, but seeing as it was more or less stealing a part of property from the farmer(who also uses the produce to make a living), she could toss that little negative thought of it being unfair out of her mind. ‘But what about just talking it out? Nah, maybe she’s done that the first few times and it didn’t work. I would suggest maybe some sort of trap, but that really isn’t better than just flat out eating them… at least she doesn’t keep them like some snatcher.’ She thought, at first going one way, then the other. “I’m guessing you tried other things before it ended up like this.” She assumed, the apple farmer just being too nice to just flat out start eating thieves as if she didn’t care for them.

“Oh yeah, a’course. After all, they were doin’ this before we found out about the whole eating thing. In fact, had tah keep Winona from eatin’ them a few times a’fore we found out.” Applejack replies. “It’s just easier that way. They spend the night with me an’ then I take them to the village in the mornin’. Though, sometimes I find snatcher tinies in the orchard. They spend time in there until I decide to take them to the village police.”

“Are you sure keeping them for the night is a good idea? What if some of them sneak out while you’re sleeping? Some tinies I know were able to do that whenever they were purposely eaten in the castle. At least… only a few, not the majority.” She asked, then explained, not wanting it to seem like all of the castle pony employees didn’t care for tinies.

“Well, they have a harder time gettin’ outta me. Ah sleep on mah back, so when they try to climb outta mah mouth, I jus’ swallow them again.” Applejack explains. “Don’ worry about it, sugar cube. I already know most ponies jus’ love swallowing y’all tinies, jus’ know they ain’t doin’ it cause they’re mean, they jus’ enjoy y’alls taste and sometimes it’s easier to talk to tinies that’re in your stomach.”

“Well, most of the time they aren’t being mean.” She corrected her while her voice went deep mid-sentence, remembering the snatchers and how they don’t give a care in the world about how you feel about it. ‘I also think that talking in a stomach would be harder cause of all the stomach noises, layers of muscle and skin, and for the fact that the stomach is nowhere close to the ears to let them actually hear them. But I guess that’s just part of the magic.’ She told herself, being a little realistic there.

“True, snatchers don’t mean anything good for tinies, and there are some ponies that do like eatin’ y’all tah feel all superior an’ such.” Applejack admits, as they get to the gate. “Alright, here’s where we say goodbye. Maybe Ah’ll see y’all again sometime.” She says before rushing off to the orchard.

“Alright, where to next?” Lindsey asks, her question mostly directed at Stacy and Tyler again as they know a thing or two about Ponyville. She deposits the group back into her bra, being extra careful to place Stacy sitting up. Tyler motions to Stacy, allowing her to make the first suggestion, hoping that she’s finally opening up now that she’s had something tasty and sweet.

Her only response was a small ”Humph!” before she turned her head away, still not budging from opening her mouth… except to eat or drink, but that was it!

Tyler just rolls his eyes a bit. Lindsey on the other hand is starting to get a little frustrated. “I guess someone’s going to have to go to timeout.” She says, threatening the obvious.

Stacy was about to come back with her usual snarky remarks, but still kept her mouth shut, only saying it in her head. ‘Bet that’s what you wanted to do this whole time.’ She thought, glaring harshly in a random direction, her expression going with the tone of voice in her head.

“Well Stacy, are you going to straighten up, or are you going to be getting much closer to my heart than you want?” Lindsey asks sternly.

She still had her usual arms crossed, very rarely in a good mood. She was silent for a few more second, before she finally spoke, only to say a question. “Why bother speaking when I make everyone around me miserable?” She simply said, her angered look slightly wavering to one of sadness, but back to inner anger to hide how she was really feeling.

Lindsey rolls her eyes and lets out a huff. “You want to try talking to her Tania, before I decide to send her to timeout?” She asks a bit angrily, she should never have said anything about the conversation except the part about wandering the town.

Tania looked between Stacy and Lindsey, a little nervous on what was happening in front of her before she spoke to Lindsey instead. “M-maybe leaving her be would be best. I… I don’t think she’s really in the mood for talking.” She suggested. “B-but maybe eating her wouldn’t really be better in your hands either?” She added, feeling that just eating Stacy wouldn’t really make the giant girl look any better than as she was apparently seen by the crippled grump.

“Alright then.” Lindsey replies. “Well Tyler, I guess it’s up to you to decide, since little miss grouch isn’t feeling co-operative.”

Tyler sighs, not liking being caught up in yet another argument between the two. He’d already been in the middle of so many that he could even predict when they’d happen. Stacy would say something mean, Lindsey would accost her for it, Stacy would get meaner, causing Lindsey to get tired of it and threaten the one thing Stacy didn’t like, then Stacy would get tearful and start begging, rinse and repeat. He looks at Tania for a moment, his look saying ‘see what I have to deal with’ before he looks up to the giantess. “Well, we could always look around the market.”

Lindsey keeps walking back to town. “Market it is.” She says as they make their way to the market street.

Tania couldn’t help but sometimes glance at Stacy, even seeing a bit of sorrow on her face before she hides it yet again, clearly something on her mind, but not wanting to share it. At least, to maybe try and not cause more problems… more so on the word ‘try’, seeing as her silent act didn’t work well. She would be more than happy to help her, but it seemed that if they could talk, she would most likely want it alone and not around others.

As Lindsey walks into town, a group of ponies canter by, one a wonky eyed pegasus mare, a small, similarly vision impaired filly with a tiny boy on her muzzle, and none other than Swiffer.

That could obviously be the sister, niece and nephew she was talking about.’ She thought, not thinking of saying hello or anything since she was probably busy spending time with some of her family, not wanting to disturb them.

Swiffer on the other hoof, notices the woman and leads her group to Lindsey. “Hi there Lindsey, I was hoping to introduce Tania to my sister and her family. Would you mind?”

“Sure.” Lindsey says with a smile and pulls Tania out, carefully placed on her palm and lowers her to eye level with the ponies.

“Hello Tania.” Swiffer greets the tiny girl. “This is my sister Derpy, her daughter Ditzy, and her adopted son Eric.” She says, introducing them one by one. Derpy smiles widely and waves, Ditzy gets fairly excited, while Eric stays a little quiet.

Tania showed a warm smile of her own before she waves at them, not really needing to tell them her name since Swiffer already did that. “It’s nice to meet you all, Swiffer did tell me she had a sister, niece and nephew, but I don’t think she told me that her sister was the better looking one, or that her kids weren’t a bundle of adorableness.” She greeted before she once again complimented some the newcomers.

Derpy giggles a bit. “Thanks, but I think Swiffer is probably better looking than me.”

Ditzy remains rather excited, while not doing anything that could accidentally hurt her brother. “We’re adorable Eric! Thank you miss Tania.” The exuberant filly says happily.

Eric on the other hand is still solely focused on Lindsey. “Sh-she’s r-really b-big!” He says nervously.

“Oh come on, with beautiful eyes like yours, I bet you get all the stallions.” She smirked after saying that, not really sure why she was complimenting so hard on any newcomers, at least, the ponies she meets.

Derpy giggles some more. “Oh, I sure wish I did. These two certainly deserve a father. Who knows, I’ve adopted a tiny boy, maybe I’ll get a tiny husband too.” Derpy replies with a giggle.

Tania couldn’t help but laugh along too, feeling that it may happen if no stallion would think she was pretty just the way she is.

Swiffer also giggles. “Here I thought you had a thing for Blueblood.” She says teasingly, before nudging Derpy. “Perhaps you should show her Eric’s room.” She suggests, playfully.

“Oh come on, Swiffer. If you’re suggesting what I think you’re suggesting, then you won’t have any time to spend with me.” She smirked, knowing Swiffer would pick up what she was putting down. “Also it would be rude to take me away from my new friends.”

Derpy giggles. “Oh, it wouldn’t take that long for you to see Eric’s room.” She says, licking her lips a bit. “Besides, I bet your friends here would be fine with it.”

Lindsey chuckles a bit. “I don’t mind if you go for a quick look around, and I’m sure at least a few of the others wouldn’t mind going with you.” She replies as well, pulling out Tyler and Blueblood, knowing that Stacy wouldn’t agree. Tyler seems to be fine and Blueblood somewhat reluctantly agrees as well.

Now Tania wasn’t sure how else to sneak her way out of this, after being kind to her, and rejecting to see her adoptive son’s ‘room’, she lost a bit of her confidence. “I… I don’t know.” She lightly rubbed one of her arms as she glanced away.

Swiffer and Derpy start to laugh a bit. “It’s okay Tania. We were just teasing you. You don’t have to go spelunking in my lil sis’ stomach if you don’t want to.” Swiffer replies still giggling along with her sister.

“I don’t like you anymore.” Tania responded, turning her head away with a smile, knowing that she was just joking as well.

Swiffer giggles and nuzzles Tania. “Awe, you know we’re besties.” She replies. “You and Blueblood still have a date with mine tonight.” She whispers so that only Tania can hear, before backing up and giggling some more.

Derpy continues giggling as well. “I still wouldn’t mind if you wanted to take a look. Perhaps I’m just as beautiful on the inside.” She says winking and blowing a kiss teasingly.

Tania couldn’t stop the pink blush from showing after the pegasus blew her a kiss. She really wasn’t much of a flirter, but somehow being around Swiffer and many other ponies who did that to someone else they liked, she kind of picked up on their tricks, and just started doing that just to become more friendly instead of the shy quiet type she was sometimes. And she wasn’t one to judge someone on who or what they looked like, so it was a slight surprise that she was given that reaction (though she should have expected that).

Swiffer, Derpy, Lindsey, and Tyler all laugh a bit, Blueblood even joins in chuckling a bit as well. Whether or not Stacy is giggling as well is only known by Lindsey, though likely not seeing as the girl isn’t having a very good day, though it could also be that where she is, is definitely not stable at the moment and she has to hang on to Lindsey’s clothing to keep from being rolled to and fro in the woman’s bra. Then everyone goes silent when Eric speaks up. “C-could I show you my room, e-even though it’s in Mommy’s tummy?” He asks a bit nervously, having picked up that the woman didn’t really want to be eaten, but she seemed really nice and he really wanted to talk to the stallion in the giant woman’s hand as he wondered what it was like for him to be tiny now, but he was shy and embarrassed to ask with all the giant ponies about. He blushes a bit, and starts wringing his hands. “Y-you don’t have to though…”

The blush on her cheeks faded as soon as the young boy asked, now feeling that if she said no, the guilt of rejecting a shy boy’s request will haunt her forever. And since he was quiet most of the time, it seemed he was working the courage to ask that. Inside her head, she let out a long exasperated groan, but on the outside, she showed a warm smile. “Well, how could I say no to a cute boy like you?”

Eric shyly smiles, Derpy giggles a bit, Swiffer looks genuinely surprised, and Lindsey chuckles a bit while depositing Blueblood and Tyler onto the hand that Tania’s on. “Alright, well, don’t worry, I’ll take it easy on you.” Derpy says, lowering her mouth so that Eric could get in and then raising her mouth up to Lindsey’s hand so that the three could go inside. “Lime oh ih.” She says with Eric still in her mouth, careful not to knock him down.

Tania really didn’t want to be the first to go in, but seeing that ‘ladies first’, she kind of didn’t have a choice. Trying to find her balance on the mare’s tongue. Nopony really knows, but standing on some pony’s tongue is like walking in a bouncy castle covered in saliva, and it’s always moving on it’s own.

Tyler and Blueblood walk in after Tania, joining her on each side to help balance her. When they’re all in her mouth Derpy carefully shuts it, knowing that Eric would explain to them like he has to any friends that come over. Eric walks over to the group. “Mommy’s gonna let us go into her tummy when we are ready. All you have to do is walk onto the edge of her tongue and sit down and then she’ll swallow.” He explains. He then demonstrates by walking over and sitting down. After a moment Derpy’s tongue moves and he disappears down her throat. Leaving the three standing there.

Tyler laughs. “So, like a giant, living water park.” He walks over and repeats Eric’s actions. “Woohoo!” He yells as he disappears as well.

“Uhm, d-do you want to do it t-together?” Tania blushed as she wasn’t sure if she could do it alone, it being in some new pony’s stomach.

Blueblood blushes as well. “Uhm, sure.” He looks around and blushes some more. “Can I sit on your lap?”

“O-oh, uhm, s-sure.” She blushed more as she wasn’t sure if she should sit down right away in case Derpy might swallow them when they weren’t ready.

Derpy giggles, as the spell, let alone their proximity to her teeth allow her to hear them. “Jus leh me know wheh you’re reahy.” She says around them, letting them know she’ll give them the time they need to get ready.

Blueblood, still blushing, looks up at Tania. “Uhm, y-you could either pick me up and sit down, or uhm, I could sit on your lap after you sit down. It sounds like she’ll let us get ‘comfortable’ first before she swallows us.” He says, stuck between blushing about Tania and his current predicament, and keeping himself calm about being in a strange pony.

Tania only nodded as she decided to sit down, blushing as some of the saliva soaked her clothes(but she knew the magic would somehow fix that). All she had to do now was wait for Blueblood to hop on… or something.

Blueblood carefully canters over and sits down on her lap, leaning up against her and nuzzling her a bit. “I’m ready when you’re ready.” He whispers to her just incase, hearing that, Derpy would swallow them. He continues to nuzzle her, partially to comfort himself and partially because he hoped it comforts her as well.

She couldn’t hide the smile that was growing thanks to Blueblood’s comforting nuzzles, in return wrapping an arm around him in a small hug. She patted on the tongue twice, signalling that they were ready before she wrapped her other arm around him to hold onto him while this happened.

Derpy, upon receiving the signal, slowly tilts her head back and softly swallows the two. They slide down her throat and land in her stomach where Eric and Tyler are already wondering around. Both of them rush over and help the two up. “So, uhm, this-this is my room.” Eric says.

“Hmm.” She hummed as she moved one of the chunks of unknown food away from her with her foot. “Could use a little spring cleaning.” She lightly joked.

Eric rubs the back of his head. “Y-yeah, b-but I don’t think mommy would like me getting rid of her lunch.” He replies, before looking to Blueblood. “S-so, h-how did you get so, um, small?”

“A, uh, an accident with the giant lady out there left me this small and her big.” Blueblood replies, rubbing the back of his head.

“Oh.” Eric says confused but accepting of the answer. He then looks over at Tania. “Why did Auntie Swiffer say that you and Blueblood were a thing and why were they acting like you were in love with my mommy?” Eric asks curiously.

Tania had a small blush on her cheeks when he asked that. “W-well, sometimes when people compliment other people, they would see it as flirting, and I guess all the compliments really made your momma like me. B-but I'm with Blueblood. He is my, uhm… partner in life.” She smiled as she was able to come up with something.

Blueblood’s eyes widen for a moment, he knew they were in a romantic relationship but he never knew that she was already viewing him essentially as her husband. “He’s your husband?” Eric asks, surprised.

Wh-what? I mean, w-we aren’t exactly at that… level yet. I wouldn’t say partner for life, but… more like close companion.” She tried to correct herself, not even sure if Blueblood or herself was ready for that kind of commitment.

“But you just said he was your partner in life.” Eric points out unintentionally, sounding confused.

“I just worded that wrong.” She quickly said. “Never mind, is there anything else you want to ask or show us?” She tried to move onto a different subject, not used to talking about the one they were currently having.

“Oh, um. Not really, all my toys and stuff are kept at the house, and not in here.” Eric says, before thinking a bit. “How’d you do that cool voice thing just now?” He asks excitedly.

“I, uhm, d-don’t have control of it. It just happened today!” She answer, blushing a little when her voice went to a high pitch. “Apparently magic is affecting my voice. And I need to control it, or something.

“Oh, if you control it then you could do it whenever you want! That’s so cool!” Eric comments excitedly. “How else does the magic effect your voice?” He asks. Now really curious about Tania’s voice magic.

Well, I don’t know. So far only the random voice breaking, but my voice did change to sound just like the princess, so maybe voice impersonations as well?” She only shrugged, not sure how that came into play as well.

“That’s really cool!” Eric says excitedly.

“Okay, I think it’s time to let you three out. I don’t want to take up all your time.” They hear Derpy’s voice sound all around them. Suddenly an air current surrounds them and pulls them up through Derpy’s throat and the group lands on her wing. “So. What did you think, am I as pretty on the inside?” She asks with a giggle.

Well, it’s actually the same as most stomachs.’ She thought. “Of course, I never had a second thought. Just as warm and inviting as you’re wonderful smile.” She flirted, internally screaming why she was doing that.

Derpy and Swiffer giggle some more. “Why thank you. You’re welcome to use it as a guest room if you ever come with Swiffer to visit and stay at my place.” She says, still giggling to herself. “Don’t worry little stallion, I’m not going to steal away your marefriend.” She says to Blueblood, before winking at him. “However, I’m single if you want a giant marefriend.” She says as seductively as she can before having another giggle fit. Blueblood’s only response is to blush and duck behind Tania.

Tania also had a blush of her own, wanting to explain that she doesn’t know why she was flirting, but if she did, it would sound like all of her compliments weren’t true, but she kept quiet on that secret. “As much as I would love to spend more time with you, I have something to fix that Twilight might need me for.”

“Huh? Oh, no I mean the next time you and Swiffer come to Ponyville for a visit. Not this time, Swiffer has already told me about how you three are staying at Twilight’s castle because of some problem you’re experiencing.” Derpy informs her. “Of course, from what I’ve heard about you from Swiffer, traveling this far is pretty rare for you. However, if you want to visit you’re always welcome.” Derpy says with a smile.

“Oh, well, thank you for offering.” She smiled, never being offered a place to stay unless it was just a hungry worker looking for a snack on their shift.

Swiffer levitates Eric over to Ditzy while using her magic to clean him off, before repeating the process with Tania and Blueblood only she gives them back to Lindsey. “Well, you two enjoy the rest of your tour of Ponyville, I’ll be back to the castle in a while.” She says to them with a smile. “As for Derpy, Ditzy, Eric, and I, we’re heading to Sugarcube Corner for some treats. We might see you again there since no tour of Ponyville is complete without getting some pastries from there, and meeting the local party planner. She’s… different.” Swiffer says, before Derpy, Ditzy, Eric, and her wave goodbye and head off.

Once they were all out of earshot, Tania finally spoke up. “I don’t know what the heck is wrong with me...” She mumbled, not knowing where the flirting even came from.

“Awe, there’s nothing wrong with you, she is pretty cute.” Lindsey comments with a giggle. “Well, back in you two go, we’re off to see more of Ponyville.” She says slipping them with the others in her bra. “There’s more to see on market street, including an ice cream shop I’d like to try.” Lindsey says.

Tyler walks up to Tania. “So, I didn’t know you were one for Pony milfs.” He says with a chuckle. “Here I thought it was you and Blueblood.”

“I didn’t do it intentionally.” She admitted, “I mean, at first it was just small compliments, but I never intended to flirt with her.” She explained, “Maybe this magic stuff is messing with my head as well.” She crossed her arms while glancing away.

Tyler chuckles some more. “Or you were just afraid to offend her and so you watched what you were saying, so that you could compliment her and it just came across as flirting.” He says somewhat logically. “I mean, come on, where we come from political correctness is a pain.”

“Well, yeah, but I was never worried that I’d say something bad.” She admitted. “And who knows how much negativity she gets cause of… you know.” She didn’t want to say what it was since she felt it was too harsh. “I was more worried that my voice might go crazy again like it did in front of Celestia… I thought I was gonna be sent to the dungeons or something.” She finished sounding just like the princess of the sun.

“Wow, that’s cool!” Lindsey comments. “Though, I doubt Celestia would send you to the dungeons for that. She’s pretty kind after all.” Tyler stood there also thinking that was pretty cool.

“No, no. Not like that. I was shouting and speaking in a rude tone in front of her. I could tell she didn’t like it.” She explained, hoping it wouldn’t come back to try and ruin anything else.

Lindsey giggles a bit. “Come on, Celestia’s been around for a thousand years. I’m pretty sure she can take someone spouting off at her. Actually, the only dungeon she was probably planning to send you to was her tiny dungeon, if you catch my drift.” Lindsey says.

Not really since the deal was that I was going to stay there for a week… I think.’ She thought, staying quiet as she was still wondering why she was flirting, at a mare no less. She wasn’t into females of any kind… she assumed. ‘It’s just magic, plain as that.’ She made up her mind. ‘Besides, it wouldn’t look good now that I have Blueblood as well.’ She added.

Lindsey giggles some more as she walks. “Stacy, you could learn a thing or two from Tania and Blueblood. They were both scared to be swallowed, but they still went with that kid into his… mom’s.” She comments jokingly, just wanting to tease the girl.

Stacy only huffed as she was still faced away from everyone else. “Only cause they weren’t almost snatched before...” She mumbled, knowing that if either of them went through with what she almost ended up in, they wouldn’t want to be in another pony’s stomach again.

“Actually, I’ve met a few tinies who were rescued from within a pony snatcher and were so scared of being snatched that they stayed in the stomach of a pony friend and had to be forced out. I should know, I was one of those tinies.” Lindsey says in reminder to Stacy.

“Yeah, well that’s not me. And you said only a few, so there’s also some that ended up like me who don’t want to be a part of that gross thing that for some reason brings humans and ponies together.” She responded, knowing that Lindsey at least met one other person who felt the same way as her.

“Pfft, you were that way from the second you got here, and yes, I know a few tinies that had that reaction. They tend to stay in the villages and keep away from any ponies.” Lindsey replies, knowing that Stacy had always been that way, Rainbow Dash having told her all about it. “I still don’t know why you have a crush on me since I’m so huge, let alone why you want to stay with me and not in a village. Well, besides that I’m huge and intimidating even compared to the ponies.” Lindsey comments, rolling her eyes a bit.

Before Stacy can make this bad situation worse, Tania got between them by speaking up. “Okay, okay. I think that’s enough arguing for now. Why don’t we take a deep breath, and maybe apologize for this… event.” She suggested, feeling that the last part might break Stacy into angry tears, or just have her shouting her own response that would lead to the threat Lindsey gave her from the beginning.

Stacy lightly glared at Tania, but she had a feeling that she made the right call in stopping their ‘conversation’. Just as she suggested, she took a small breath, her heartbeat and angered mind calming down a little. “Fine… I’m sorry for bringing up bad stuff.” She apologized, turning away as she felt like a rotten child being forced to spit out apologies.

“It’s okay Stacy, and I’m sorry I keep teasing you.” Lindsey replies as she continues down the market street.

Tania honestly didn’t think it would work, seeing how… headstrong Stacy seemed, she actually being the first to back down and let it go. But what she didn’t notice was when she spoke up, a golden glow appeared around the front of her neck, as if she was using some other kind of magic while she spoke.

“So, what shop should we check out first?” Lindsey asks the group. “There’s a quill and mattress store, there’s a fan store, a couch store, a toy store, and some other types of stores.”

“A toy store!?” Tania’s eyes almost lit up in excitement as she always loved going into toy stores, even if she was already an adult and could tell how some of the toys worked.

“Don’t get too excited, the toys here are all made for ponies. So you’re not going to find a whole bunch of familiar things. We could still go looking around though, if you want.” Lindsey replies.

“Yes please. I just want to see what kind of toys they have there. And if they are just like the toys we had on earth.” She admitted, already giddy like a little girl waiting for either christmas or her birthday.

“There’s probably a couple familiar toys. Dolls, action figures, and some oddly named Legos.” Lindsey replies as she walks to the toy store. They go inside and see the store is essentially a smaller, pony themed Toys R’ Us. Lindsey pulls the group out and holds them in her hand so they can look around as she slowly walks through the aisles. “If you see anything you want, let me know.” Lindsey says.

Tania was looking around with the others from her perch, but soon Stacy tapped her on the shoulder and pointed out a toy that was familiar to all of the people there. It was a pin point impression toy. Simply put, those toys where you can mold the shape of your hand through some cold medal pins. And it seemed that they both had the same idea. “Hey Lindsey, can we take a closer look at that?” Tania asked, pointing at the toy.

“Hmm, okay.” Lindsey says, setting the tinies down on the shelf with the impression toys. “Here you go.” She pulls Stacy’s tiny wheelchair out and sets Stacy in it so she can move on her own. Lindsey then stands up and starts looking at the toys on the higher shelves, and on the small hangers.

Tania was soon beside Tyler, a smirk on her lips. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking to do with these toys?” She asked, Stacy already looking at the other many impression toys and seeing that some had hoof impressions on them.

Tyler was one step ahead of them, pressing against one of the untouched ones, or trying in any case considering that the toys were still massive compared to them.

Tania looked at the noticeable gap that she knew none of them could jump over and make an impression on their own. But she soon got an idea. “Hey Blueblood, could you stand in front of one of these toys horizontally?” She asked him.

“Um, okay.” Blueblood replies, a little confused. He canters over and stands where Tania directed. “Okay, so what do you want me to do?” He asks.

“Well, I just want you to stay there so I can use you to help me get up on the toy.” She explained. “Like a living step stool.” She said, not wanting to catch him off guard and hurt him. “Do you think you can do that?”

Blueblood looks up and down Tania. “Maybe if you were Eric’s age. How about I just use my magic?” He asks, wondering why she didn’t think of that, especially considering he was small enough for her to pick up like a dog.

“Well, I didn’t think your magic was strong enough… and I also wanted to give a running start.” She admitted, not knowing just how strong his magic was compared to a normal sized unicorn.

“We could always ask Lindsey for help too.” Blueblood suggests, not too sure his magic is strong enough either, but knowing that his back wouldn’t be.

“Yeah, but that kind of ruins the fun on trying to do it on my own.” She added, feeling that just being pressed on it cause of Lindsey wouldn’t be as fun as just slamming into it and making the image herself.

“She could hold it so we could do it on our own.” Blueblood says. “All I know is jumping off my back is probably going to kill me.”

“It isn’t really doing it on our own if she’s helping in some way. A-and, I don’t want to call her over for something so… childish. I mean, I want to wait for her to see it, like a small surprise.” She explained, not wanting to bring Lindsey over for something so simple. Tania stayed quiet for awhile before she noticed the wheelchair that Stacy was riding in, and had a better idea. “Stacy? Do you mind if I use your wheelchair for just a moment?” She asked, almost begging for it.

Stacy stayed quiet for awhile, seeming to think it over before she answered. “Sure. Why not?” She shrugged. “Just don’t damage it like my first one.”

“What happened to your first wheelchair?”

“A pony happened.” She simply answered, not clearing up what she meant by that, but Tania felt that it wasn’t important right now. With Tania helping, Stacy was able to get out of the wheelchair at a faster pace than if she did it on her own, not minding if she had to sit on the floor while Tania used her wheelchair.

Tania then positioned the chair where Blueblood once was, locking the wheels in place so the wheelchair won’t move when she really uses it. She thought about how she was going to make this happen, getting an idea as she got herself ready, kneeling down as if she was part of an olympic race.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Stacy spoke up, one of her arms supporting herself to sit up while she watched.

“Nope, but I’m doing it anyways.” She answered, before she took off, running right to the wheelchair, before she jumped, landed on the cushioned seat, and made another leap for the toy. What she didn’t plan, was for the back support to ruin her landing. And by that, she was somehow able to flip in mid air, and land on the toy back first, the cold hard pins hitting her back before they moved by her momentum. Now the once blank metal canvas had a tiny-shaped image on it, it being upside down, and in the position that you would most likely see in cartoons with the imprints through a door.

Tyler looks up at Tania, currently stuck in the imprint toy. “You okay?” He asks with concern. Blueblood also looks up at her in worry.

“Y-yeah, I’m fine. Just caught off guard with how cold… and hard these pins are. I might feel this in the morning.” She admitted, even laughing a little at her own mistake.

Blueblood’s horn lights up and his aura surrounds Tania. After a yank she is free and floating in the air, Blueblood barely manages to flip her over before his magic is strained too much and Tania drops to the ground of the shelf.

She wasn’t ready to be released yet, plopping to the floor as she lightly fell onto her rump. Of course, that only made her giggle this time around. “Other than that, it was kind of fun. Do you want to try it?” She asked, asking all three of them with that one question.

Stacy was the first to answer. “Unless I am fine with being somehow catapulted off of my wheelchair, I don’t think I can.” She said. “And if you weren’t clear, no, I am not fine with that idea. As much fun as it was seeing you in slight pain.” She joked darkly with a small smirk, which made Tania smile as well.

Tyler looks between the two. “Good to see you getting Stacy out of her shell.” He whispers to Tania. He then looks at the wheelchair and the imprint toy. “I don’t want to accidentally break the wheelchair.” He says.

Blueblood similarly sizes up the wheelchair and the imprint toy. “I don’t think I’d be able to reach.” He replies. “And I’m not strong enough with my magic to fling any of you, or myself, at the toy.”

Tania’s smile faltered a little, hearing that no one else would try, but she knew she couldn’t force them. “Oh, okay then. So, since no one else wants to go, what should we do next?” She decided to change the subject to something else.

Tyler helps Stacy into her wheelchair. “Well, any other toys on this shelf you see that are interesting?” He asks. “Or should we get Lindsey?” What they don’t notice is that Lindsey is further down the aisle looking at other toys, being caught up in curiosity.

“Well, there’s a shelf for only one type of toy, so all we’re going to see is more of these pin toys.” Tania explained, it being the wooden, old fashioned shelves that blocked other shelves from connecting.

“Maybe we should get Lindsey to give us a lift to another shelf.” Bluetooth suggests as he looks around.

“That is, if we can find her.” Tania added, noticing that Lindsey was missing. “How do you even lose a girl that big?” She jokingly asked.

Tyler laughs. “You wake up in a pony’s stomach.”

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at that answer. “Well, it seems that we’re stuck here until she comes back. Let’s just hope no one else sees us or anything.” She stated, looking from both sides of the aisle while they were stuck on the shelf.

A pegasus filly stands across from them in the aisle. “Hey isn't that…” Blueblood starts.

“Daisy! Over here!” Tyler calls out to the filly.

Daisy canters over to the group. “Hi. Why are you guys all alone?”

“Well, Lindsey got a bit distracted and left us here by mistake. Do you mind taking us back to her?” Tania explained, hoping that the filly would be kind enough to help out.

“Oh, sure.” Daisy says merrily. “Um, well, hop on in then.” She says lowering her head next to the shelf and opening her mouth. “I'm sorry, I didn’t bring my saddlebags so I don't have anywhere else you can ride… well, with Stacy’s wheelchair that is.” she apologizes knowing that most of them, don't like being eaten.

“Are you sure you'll be fine carrying three tinies and one shrunken pony?” She asked, not thinking it was the brightest plan for a filly.

“I could probably fit all of you in there.” Daisy replies. “It'll just take a while coughing you all back up. Unless you want me to go find Lindsey, but that will leave you all alone until we get back.”

“Well, I'm fine with either way. What about you three?” Tania looked over at the others to see what they would want to do.

“I don’t mind taking a ride, Daisy is a nice filly and isn't going to do anything mean to us.” Tyler comments.

Blueblood gulps nervously. “I’m not sure, I guess we should go in. B-better her than some strange pony.” He stutters.

Stacy only glanced away, the answer being told without saying a word.

“Well, two say yes, but one says no…” Tania thought about the choices, feeling that even if she were to take Stacy’s side, it would be undecided for the group. “Is there a way for you to carry Stacy by the back of her shirt or something. Or maybe her wheelchair since it has seat belts. All wheelchairs have seat belts.” She suggested.

“I could keep her in my mouth. Or maybe hold the her in my wing.” Daisy replies, before thinking a bit. “Actually that way you can ride on my back instead, b-but I'm still pretty new at holding things with my new wings, s-so maybe that isn’t a good idea.” She admits.

“Hey, it's okay. If you aren't sure, I could help keep her ba-ba-balanced.” She offered, her voice skipping towards the end.

“I’m just scared that my cantering will bounce you all around and you’ll fall off.” Daisy replies before looking away and rubbing a hoof embarrassedly on the floor. “I, uh, I also get excited pretty easily, and my mind tends to wander.” She says, her head lowered a bit ashamed of herself. “I was like that before I got here, and uhm, we’re in a toy store. I always get a little excited around this stuff because it's all so new to me.”

“Hey, hey. It's okay, everyone is like that when we're young. The place is filled with unknown toys in which you want to get, while also figuring out how they work. But don't worry, me and Stacy will make sure that you keep your eyes on the task. And the sooner you finish it, the sooner you can go and play with as many toys as you want. Okay?” Tania explained.

“So, where are you going to ride?” Daisy asks, not sure what the plan was. “Are you going to be on my back, on my head, in my tummy?”

“I guess your head if that's fine with you.” She suggested, shrugging.

Daisy lowered her head even more. “Um, just don't fall off, or into my ears. Someone is going to have to ride on my muzzle as well.” She says. “I don’t have that much room on my head.”

“Well, I'm not sure if one person being on your muzzle and another on your head isn't really helping Stacy if we're placed separately. And I don't think we're that big.”

“Well three of you could sit up there and one on my muzzle.” Daisy replies. “Or in my muzzle if they're afraid of heights.”

Tania wasn't sure what she was saying, first assuming that it would be just her and Stacy while the others were in her stomach, but she didn't really clarify that. “I guess that might work. Who wants to be the one on her muzzle?” She asked the others.

“I’ll go.” Blueblood says and canters over and slowly climbs onto the filly’s muzzle, backing up right between her eyes. After he is safely on, Daisy lowers her head so they can climb on.

Tyler heads over and climbs on so that he can help Tania get Stacy on.

Using as much strength that she could muster, she helped in lifting Stacy and her wheelchair up to the filly’s head. Stacy couldn't do much to help out, but I guess not making it more difficult was good enough instead of making it harder for the two somehow.

“Alright, hold on, it's going to get a little bumpy.” Daisy says after the group gets settled on her head. She gives them a moment before starting to canter around the store.

Tania focused on keeping herself and Stacy steady on her side, hoping Tyler will do the same in his end.

Tyler does his best to hold the wheelchair and along with it, Stacy. However, it's difficult with Daisy’s jostling movement as she canters through the store. Then she turns her head to look down an aisle causing Tyler to lose his grip and slip, keeping himself from falling off by grabbing a strand of the filly’s mane.

Tania could feel Stacy leaning a little too far on Tyler’s side, quick to pull and make her balanced once more. “Daisy, be careful, tiniest on board, remember.”

“Sorry, I need to look down the aisles though.” Daisy says, as she feels the group getting back into place on her head.

“It's okay. Just be slower with your head movements, that's all we ask.” Tania instructed.

Daisy lets out a sigh. “Okay. This would be so much easier with them all in my tummy.” She says to herself before continuing to canter around the store and carefully peering into the aisles looking for Lindsey.

“Lindsey!” Tania decided to call out to see if maybe she could hear her, and find the filly with them in toll. But it seems that with her small size, the range was just as small, making the calling pointless.

As Daisy continues she looks down another aisle, this one containing musical instruments and karaoke machines. She turns to head further down the store.

“Lindsey!” She tried again, this time her shouting picking up on one of the mics and making her voice a little louder.

Daisy perks up. “Ooh. Do it again!” She says moving closer to one of the karaoke machines on the shelves.

“L-Lindsey!” She did it again, it sounding louder than last time. She wasn't sure if Lindsey would hear her like this, but for some reason, being in front of a mic just felt right for some reason.

Daisy giggles some more. “Here! Here! Sing Tania!” The filly giggles and lowers her head to the shelf so they can stand on the shelf. The filly’s tail wags happily.

“Wh-what? No, I can't. I-I've never sung in p-public. I mean, t-to the pony public.” Tania stuttered, already getting nervous just over the idea of singing.

“Awe!” Daisy exclaims disappointedly. “Please, your voice is so pretty, besides there’s nopony else in the aisle.” She pleads with the tiny girl, giving her big puppy dog eyes.

Being caught victim of the cute pony puppy eyes, she knew that if she said no now, the guilt and those eyes will both haunt her forever. Not really up to it now, she relented. “Fine.” She spoke. ‘But how did she know I could sing? I never told her that.’ She thought.

The group clambers onto the shelves next to the karaoke machine. Tyler walks close to Tania. “You sing?” He asks.

Before Tania can respond Blueblood beats her to it. “It’s Equestria and she’s been going to school I'd bet. Everypony sings here at some point during the day.” He sighs. “It’s some sort of instinct or something, I can't explain it.”

“I actually graduated before I ended up here with my family.” She spoke up. “It's more of a hobby, if you could call it that.” She only looked at the mic that was bigger than her entire body. Still nervous about singing in front of a pony.

Daisy claps her hooves together. “Yay!” She exclaims happily.

Tania sighed again, feeling butterflies in her stomach as she could almost hear the music in her head. Coming closer to the mic, she closed her eyes and began to sing.

♬Seems like I've spent my whole life hoping

Dreaming of things I've never tried

Tangled in knots just waiting for my time to shine♬

♬What if the doors began to open?

What if the knots became untied?

What if one day, nothing stood in my way

And the world was mine?

Would it feel this fine?♬

She smiled at the last line, seeming to be comfortable to continue singing, not noticing that the music in her mind, was actually being heard in the real world too.

♬Cause I got the wind in my hair

And a gleam in my eyes

And an endless horizon

I got a smile on my face

And I'm walking on air♬

As she continued singing, the center part of her throat started to glow blue, with eyes closed she didn’t notice that she was moving away from the mic, but still singing loud enough that she sounded like she was still in front of the device. She also didn’t notice that her lyrics were becoming quite literally, not noticing that she was walking off of the shelf, and literally walking on air.

♬And everything life oughta be

It's all gonna happen to me out there

And I'll find it, I swear

With the wind in my hair♬

Tyler and Blueblood watch with dropped jaws, Daisy doesn’t seem to care, giggling and enjoying the song. Ponies from the other aisles start to gather into the aisle as well listening to her song, some even swaying back and forth to the rhythm. As for Stacy, she only watched with wide eyes, hand covering her mouth as she never expected this to happen just cause she was singing… but she should’ve expected the other ponies coming in.

♬So many roads I've yet to travel

So many friends I haven't met

So many new adventures just around the bend♬

When she sung those lines, those buildable train tracks linked under her, making her look as if she was walking on a ‘road’. Also some of the toy pony figurines came towards her, the girl petting and even hugging one, them representing as ‘friends she hasn’t met’.

♬Plenty of mysteries to unravel

Tons of mistakes to not regret

So much to see, and to do and to be

A whole life to spend

And it doesn't end♬

♬And I got the wind in my hair

And a song in my heart

And the fun's only starting

I got a skip in my step

And I haven't a care♬

On the ‘heart’ part, the part of her chest that her heart was actually placed glowed a yellow hue, only to dim down as she continued to sing, starting to make her way back to the shelf.

♬Colorful breeze blowing through

It’s gonna carry me who knows where

And I'll take any dare

With the wind in my hair♬

She held the final note, being back in front of the mic as her hair flowed in the unknown wind. As soon as she finished, she opened her eyes, always feeling more comfortable when she didn’t see what was in front of her.

“Woah.” Tyler and Blueblood comment at the same time. Just as they finish, the crowd of ponies start cheering and clapping their hooves together. Daisy cheers and claps as well. Lindsey stands at the back of the crowd wide eyed after seeing the whole display having come over when the ponies had. Stacy on the other hand was silent the whole time, not really having an important reaction to what she just saw, since she was feeling the same way as everyone else: amazed.

Of course, seeing ponies everywhere, she almost turned as white as Blueblood. Her only reaction was to gently lay down on the floor, and curl into a scared little ball. She covered her face with her hands and whimpered, not used to all this attention, more specifically the attention from all the other ponies.

All the ponies stop cheering when they see Tania curl up, and they start whispering to each other, wondering what is wrong. Lindsey pushes her way through the small crowd and scoops up the group, along with Daisy. “Alright everypony, show’s over, I'm going to take them back to the castle now.” She says heading out of the store, the crowd's whispers sounding worried now.

Lindsey heads off carrying the group and the filly, stopping on a portion of the road to the castle. She sets Daisy down and unfurled her fist, revealing the tiny group. “Tania, are you okay?” She asks stroking the girl’s back with a finger.

“A-are the e-eyes gone..? A-am I s-safe..?” She said in a shaky and fearful voice, still covering her eyes as she wasn’t going to look if those crowds of ponies were still looking at her… judging her… and perhaps even hating her for her singing.

“They’re gone, but you weren't in danger even then.” Lindsey assures the girl. “They loved your performance, and that song you sang. They were cheering for you.”

Daisy speaks up. “Yeah Lindsey, we loved it, your song was great!” She says honestly. Daisy looks off sadly, starting to sniffle as she realizes that this was her fault. “I shouldn't have got you to sing, I’m... I'm...” Daisy bursts into tears and runs away, or at least she would if Lindsey hadn't grabbed her tail, the filly wouldn’t be cartoonishly running in place instead of literally running off.

Hearing Daisy start to cry, and the sound of running hooves that weren’t fading in the distance, made her finally look and see that it was just them now, but seeing the filly shedding tears made her feel awful by how she reacted. ‘But it wasn’t my fault, I just don’t like singing in front of ponies. And seeing all those ponies… watching me… judging me… at first I felt scared of being hated, but now I’m also scared of being eaten by some pony who really likes my singing… thanks Charlie.’ She thought, seeming to calm down at her little talk in her head. Letting out a small breath, she began to talk. “L-listen… Daisy, it’s not your fault.” She started. “It was my own choice to sing or not. And… it was dumb of me to not explain why I didn’t want to sing in the first place. But it’s honestly ridiculous, knowing that ponies wouldn’t be so cruel. Just please don’t blame yourself for something none of us would see coming, nor ‘making’ me sing in a toy store.”

Daisy turns and sniffles. “You were scared?” Daisy asks not knowing why Tania would be scared, asking in her childish manner. “But why?”

Tania glanced away when she asked that, but that didn’t stop her from answering. “Well, I’m not scared of singing in front of people. But ponies are a different...” She started. “It’s not like I’m being racist or anything… but humans don’t have the ‘power’ or the option to just get rid of something they don’t like… or keep something they think is precious.” She said. “In other words, with humans, the most that could happen is even trash being thrown at you. But for tinies, they can just end it with one swallow.” She glanced away. “I don’t mind being eaten, but if I was for the one thing that I like to do… well, I would most likely be back in Canterlot. Too upset, too depressed, and too disappointed in myself to even leave my home.” She let out a long breath after all that, messing with her hands as she looked down at them. “The same should be said about being loved too much. Humans can just ask for an encore, or even a creepy fan that you see every once in awhile. But if ponies loved me a lot, they wouldn’t have to do much to snatch their ‘idol’ and keep me like the giant and the singing golden harp in that beanstalk story.

Daisy sniffles some more. “I-I see.” She looks down sadly. “I-I’m s-still sorry.”

Lindsey giggles. “You shouldn't be too worried. Most ponies wouldn’t do that, and all ponies wouldn’t do that in public, but if you're worried, you can hide right here.” Lindsey jokes, lowering her hand in front of her stomach. “We still have one more place to go on the tour, before we head back and tell Twilight and Starlight about this.”

“And where’s that?” She asked, forgetting what was the ‘must go’ place in Ponyville.

“Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie wouldn’t like it if I didn't take you there.” Lindsey says. “Of course we could always skip it and incur the wrath of Pinkie. I've heard it's a rather interesting experience, especially since we've been arriving in Equestria.” In the background some pony shivers.

“I don’t think I can handle that sugar filled pony if she’ll become some friendship assassin just cause you reject a chance to visit her place.” She said, choosing to just go and get it over with then constantly having to look behind her back in fear of a pink party pony, ironically sounding like the sack of A.D.D.

“I don’t know, I've kinda missed being swallowed.” Lindsey says jokingly and not at the same time.

“Well you could probably ask her yourself. I don’t think she would mind.” Tania replied, feeling that she wouldn’t be surprised by how out-of-place that mare was.

“Well, I can't go by myself, I'd need to bring company, and a handful of snacks.” Lindsey jokes, standing up and turning back to the town. “Well, guess we better get going. Come along Daisy, let's get something to cheer you up. “ She says as they make their way to the pastry bakery.

Tania figured to remain quiet on this small journey to this ‘Sugarcube Corner’ place, not really knowing what it was, but having a good guess on what it might be.

They get to the gingerbread house shaped bakery and walk in. The smell of fresh baked pastries filling the air. “Bet you're glad we didn't skip this part of the tour, huh?” Lindsey whispers to Tania, though technically to the entire group.

“Well, more for the rumors that could be true that you said about Pinkie’s wrath. I don’t think you want to find me curled in a scared ball again if it’s that bad.” She said, glancing downward as she rubbed one of her eyes.

Lindsey giggles. “Bet you're enjoying the smell though.” She comments. “Fresh baked pastries, even for tinies, and the Cakes’ restaurant rule, no eating tinies.”

“Well, I’m not a super big fan of the sugary sweets. I prefer natural fruit over pastries and candy.” Tania admitted, never really having a strong sweet tooth.

Lindsey giggles. “Trust me on this, you do not want to miss out on a Sugarcube Corner pastry, and they do have fruit pastries.” She says, already salivating at the thought of the yummy pastries.

Tania didn’t really have a choice now since they were already walking through the door. But when she noticed all the other ponies around, she started getting nervous. Remembering what happened at the toy store, and how all those ponies were watching her.

Lindsey notices Tania getting nervous. “Hey, don't worry. You're with me, and nopony is going to hurt you. They don't want to hurt you anyway. They probably either want you to sing again or maybe talk to you about it. They all saw you break down and were worried about you.” Lindsey says, trying to comfort her. True enough some of them actually look at her with worry.

One pony actually gets up, a unicorn mare, canters over. “Hi, I heard you singing at the toy store. It was really good, but I was worried when I saw your reaction to the crowd. Are you okay? We were all scared something happened to you.” The unicorn says, worry evident in her voice.

When the mare got close, she was quick in ducking her head behind one of the two tinies, already getting scared when she saw all those ponies looking at her. She didn’t see the looks of worry, but more around disappointment. It seemed that Tania wasn’t going to answer with all these ponies around.

The mare looks sadly at Tania for a moment, realizing the problem. “Oh, you must've had a bad introduction to Equestria to be this shy around ponies. Don't worry, most ponies don't want to hurt you, we just want to be friends.” The mare turns back to the ponies looking with worry. “Don’t stare at her, she's shy and probably gets stage fright around us ponies. Probably the whole size difference, and eating part.” The mare tells them, the group nodding and going back to their own conversation. The mare turns back to Tania. “Better now?” She asks, hoping the girl felt more comfortable.

“Y-yes that’s f-fine.” She stuttered quickly, still hiding behind Tyler as she wasn’t going to come out still.

The mare sighs. “I’m sorry for whatever happened to you, and I was glad to meet you.” The mare says before turning away sadly.

Tania couldn’t help but feel a little bad for how she acted in front of the mare. She wanted to apologize, to explain herself, but her body and mind wouldn’t make that happen. She only felt worse now than before.

Lindsey looks down at the girl. “Wow, you’re kind of like Stacy. Only instead of being rude, crude, and angry with everyone, you’re shy and scared. Did something happen, did you nearly get snatched like Stacy?” Lindsey asks.

“... I didn’t mean to.” She whimpered, already feeling worse by Lindsey’s comment. “I already said why I don’t like to sing in front of ponies.”

“I know you're scared they aren't going to like it or that they'll like it so much they eat you, but it sounds like something happened to you when you arrived. Did something happen?” Lindsey asks.

“N-no, nothing happened to me… but it did happen to someone else.” She answered. “There was a talent show in Canterlot, and it seemed that if Tinies did sign up, if they didn’t like it, they would stop it themselves. Most of those snobbish high class ponies were there, so it was kind of obvious why they wouldn’t care about anyone’s feelings. I did sign up myself, but after seeing what they did, made me keep secret of my talent. I didn’t know what was ‘good’ to pony standard. And in Equestria, it seems my singing is average judging by all the random singing that happens. I… I just don’t want to disappoint anyone.”

“Ah, I remember that one, if I remember right they've added a rule so that ponies don't go eating any of the tinies unless it's part of the act. Yeah, some of those ponies can be real snobs, but I've met a few nobles who were kind. More than a few. For the most part, actually, they're basically like everypony else, it's just that they make a lot more money. There are a few snobs like Spoiled Rich,” Lindsey giggles a bit. “Or Blueblood before our little incident, and they aren't exactly far and few between, but still there are quite a few that are kind.” She says. “As for singing, I'd say, especially with that voice magic of yours, you shouldn't be worried. You sounded great in there.” She says encouragingly.

Tania couldn’t hide the blush on her cheeks when she was complemented by Lindsey herself. She was always given compliments by Blueblood, Swiffer, and even her family, but Lindsey was still someone new to her. “I don’t think I’m that great...” She admitted, messing with her hair a little.

“Are you kidding, you were incredible!” Tyler exclaims. “Didn’t you notice yourself floating in mid air, I mean seriously!”

“Let’s alone bringing Toy Ponies to life.” Blueblood adds.

“Or how those train tracks floated up there.” Lindsey says.

“W-wait, what? Th-that didn’t happen. I was still standing in front of the mic. I… I was just imagining those in my head. Y-you’re just making me sound better.” She didn’t believe them as she never heard of that happening to anyone just cause they were singing.

“Okay, you don’t believe us, Stacy tell her, or I could ask the mare's group over there to tell you.” Lindsey says.

“Well, only my legs don’t work, not my eyes.” Stacy said, agreeing that what happened did happen. “And judging by how scaredy-cat acted around ponies watching, I don’t think that’s one of your smartest ideas.” She rolled her eyes, thinking that they would be smart enough to not ask a pony.

Tania looked away from the others, looking down at Lindsey’s palm. “B-but if that happened, then why are we at a b-bakery? Shouldn’t w-we tell the princess?” She asked, thinking that whatever happened would be more important than some snack break. But she had less to think as she began to feel exhausted all of a sudden.

“We'll tell her when we get back, unless you want to have a certain pink pony following us around.” Lindsey replies, pointing to Pinkie Pie who waves cheerfully back. “Then again she'll probably just hunt us down to give us pastries or something. At least we hope.” Pinkie Pie just giggles in the background. “Oh, and Stacy, you really shouldn't antagonize me or make fun of Tania. Unless you want me to show her how much of a scaredy-cat you are.”

Stacy only rolled her eyes again as she looked away, choosing to keep her mouth shut for now.

As for Tania, she could feel the exhaustion really hitting her. “I… I think I need to use the bathroom.” She said out of nowhere, thinking a good splash of water on her face might make her feel better.

Lindsey walks over to a wall, the base of which had been modified with restrooms. She plucks up Tania and sets her down on the floor, before sitting down next to the doors. “Let’s me know when you're done. Then we'll go get the pastries. In the meantime Stacy, we’re going to have a talk.” Lindsey says, first looking at the inch high girl dwarfed by her hip, then to the girl in her hand.

Tania only waved back as to show she heard and got what she said, before she went through the small doorway to the girl’s bathroom.

Stacy only remained quiet as she kind of figured how this ‘talk’ will end.

“Well Stacy? Are you going to tell me why you're so hostile today, even to people around your size?” Lindsey asks, matter of factly.

Stacy was a bit confused on the question. “Hostile? I wasn’t being hostile, just direct.” She crossed her arms, defending herself. “I thought it was obvious seeing how scared she was when just one pony was talking to her.”

“Calling her names isn’t direct. You've been angsty you all day, actually just since we met Tania. So, again, why so hostile to her? Are you afraid she’s going to take Tyler away, or is it because her boyfriend is more a coltfriend?” Lindsey asks getting annoyed with the stubborn girl.

“Not… really?” She was a bit confused on those assumptions, not really liking Tyler, while also not caring about the ‘little’ pony. “Besides, scardey-cat is the least hurtful name calling ever. I even bet someone else could call her worse. She didn’t seemed phased by it anyways, so it’s not like I made anything worse.”

“Alright then, what has you so angry at her being around us?” Lindsey asks, tired of the girl’s attitude.

“Nothing is wrong.” She simply said. “You think something is wrong just cause some stranger comes around and I’m not as cheery and friendly like these rainbow-colored horses? If you want me to I could just go to the bathroom and apologize for how much of a meanie-pants I was.” She said the last part in a childlike manner.

“Alright, go ahead then. You better do a good job or my tasty treat will have a tiny topping. I'm sure Mrs. Cake will understand.” Lindsey threatens, setting Stacy on the ground.

Stacy only rolled her eyes again at the threat, already moving with her wheelchair as she made her way to the bathroom, having to go inside backwards cause of her wheelchair. “And she wonders why she thinks I see her as some monster.” She grumbles, knowing that Lindsey eating her wouldn’t really make her look better. When she entered, she noticed that Tania was splashing her face with water by the sink, rubbing her eyes roughly as she seemed a little off. “Hey scar-I mean, Tania. You alright?” She asked, almost calling the girl a scaredy-cat.

“Huh? O-oh, yeah… I’m fine.” She answered, using a paper towel to dry her face off. “What are you doing here? I thought Lindsey wanted to talk to you.”

“She did, and apparently she thinks that calling you scaredy-cat was too much for your frail heart.” She explained, wheeling over to her before she went in front of the child-sized sinks that was low enough for her to wash her hands.

“What?” Tania was a little confused after hearing that. “That… that didn’t hurt my feelings. I mean, my little brother used to call me that all the time once I told him I couldn’t sing in front of ponies.” She explained, leaning against one of the walls of the restroom. “When you have a younger sibling, you learn how to tune out some of the more dumb insults from others.”

“Well at least you know how to do that.” Stacy commented. “Lindsey almost acts like every bad or rude action I make is a crime in itself.”

“Well, not a lot of people are like me or you.” Tania replied. “Some things might be too harsh to some people, while to others it barely means anything to anyone.”

Stacy stayed quiet on her side, finishing washing her hands, but keeping them under the hot water.

“Stacy. I know Lindsey might say you’re rude, mean, harsh, and a little out of line. But I think you’re just acting that way to hide something.” Tania continued. “Judging by how you act, I think you still have a right to seem like the bigger person, figuratively, of course. But I guess all this is going completely against your rights. And I’m also guessing you want to lean against Lindsey, but not too much to the point in giving in what society thinks is right.”

Stacy just stayed silent as her hands gripped on the sink.

“And I know that inside is a scaredy-cat in itself. But I’m not so sure you’re just scared of being eaten alive.” Tania said, not noticing her throat was glowing blue in the center.

Stacy was still facing away from the girl, gripping tightly to the sink before she loosened her hold. “... You probably won’t believe me.” She grumbled.

“Yes I will. I mean, we’re shrunken down, in a world full of magical ponies, so I think it would be more weird if I didn’t believe you.” She joked with a smile.

“... I’m scared of being weak… and alone.” She began. “No one knows how good they have it till it’s gone. These… useless legs, only make it worse. I used to be at the top, doing what I loved, and being praised for it. But because I wanted more, I paid the price.” She lightly rubbed one of her ‘useless’ legs. “I shunned everyone cause I didn’t want to get their pity, their judging eyes, those people thinking that I was useless on my own… and their right.” She could feel a lump in her throat, but kept on going. “And just coming here made it worse. At first, I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t go up stairs, or I couldn’t reach the top shelf or anything. But now I can’t do anything on my own. I can’t write, I can’t just look out a window on my own… and I can never be alone. Whether I had my wheelchair or not, I needed someone to look after me, to carry me places, to bring me inside. I was like some limp animal.” She gripped her leg, holding a bit tight, but she couldn’t feel anything if she was inflicting pain on her leg. “And it was only proven when I was almost snatched. I couldn’t run away, I couldn’t flail or even call out for help. It wasn’t like anyone would hear me, or even bother to find me after how badly I treated Rainbow Dash.” She began to tear up, just thinking about that, turning her hands into fists. “I want to be alone… but I don’t want to be as useless as I was that time.”

Tania couldn’t help but tear up herself, hearing the disabled girl’s voice crack a little.

“I just don’t know what to do… I just want to go back home.” She sniffled, to which she was surprised to feel a pair of arms wrap around her from behind, them belonging to Tania.

“I want to go back home too...” She admitted, hugging tighter. “I know I don’t know how you feel, but we can at least agree on that. I think everyone wants to go home so badly, but for now we can only wait, hope, and pray something will come up. Even if it’s as small as us.”

Stacy honestly didn’t know what to say. She would most likely tell the girl to get off of her, to shun her and ignore her like everyone else. But she only accepted the hug as she looked down at her lap.

“And needing help doesn’t mean that you’re weak. Everyone needs help, even Lindsey needs help.” Tania said. “And I think only you and Tyler can help her for now. Maybe you can start by not being so cold and quiet. Or even trying to get a little closer to others. You might think being silent is helping by being out of the way, but Lindsey might see that as just being rude to not notice.” She decided to break the hug, standing up fully again. “But I’m also guessing you want to keep this between us, am I right?” She offered her hand in a sort of a deal, thinking to keep this small conversation between themselves mostly for Stacy’s pride.

Stacy only looked at the offered hand, before showing a hidden smile and taking the deal and shaking hands. “Only cause you asked.” She mumbled, Tania knowing that it wasn’t true, but not thinking of pressing on.

Tania still had her hand gripping on Stacy’s even after the handshake, but it seemed the exhaustion was getting stronger as she couldn’t stand up any longer, falling to her knees.

“Tania? Are you okay?” Stacy said, a bit worried for the girl.

“I… I’ll be fine. I… I just need to… to...” She couldn’t finish it as she fell forward and passed out.

“Oh, shit.” Stacy wasn’t sure what to do, for the first time someone needing her help other than the other way around. But she did have some idea. Using as much strength as she could muster in her arms, she was able to bring the unconscious girl to her lap and keep her steady as she came out of the bathroom and headed to Lindsey. “Lindsey! Tania needs help.” She called up, looking genuinely scared and worried for the knocked-out girl.

Lindsey quickly looks to Pinkie Pie. “Sorry but something’s come up and we have to get back to the castle now.” She informs the Pink pony before scooping up the two, getting Daisy, and heading back to the castle. “What happened?” She asks, worried about the tiny girl.

“I-I don’t know. We just talked, and before I know it, she passed out right in front of me.” Stacy explained, not clarifying what they were talking about, it being a bit of a secret between the two..

“Well something must've happened!” Lindsey exclaims, quickly reaching the castle. “Didn’t something happen while you were talking, anything that could explain her passing out?” Lindsey asks as she goes into the castle heading for Twilight’s study.

“Sorry, but I didn’t see anything. I… I was kind of facing away from here when we talked.” She explained, not sure if maybe the sensitive conversion somehow made her pass out… for some reason.

“Oh, okay.” Lindsey replies. “Well, hopefully Twilight can figure out what happened.” Lindsey says as she approaches the door to Twilight’s study. She opens the door and heads in. “Twilight! Something’s happened to Tania!” She yells to the Alicorn as she heads to the desk.

Twilight rushes over, a worried look on her face. “What’s happened?“

“Well, to put it in simple terms, she sung a little at a store, magic stuff happened, and by the time we arrived at Sugarcube Corner, she passed out in the bathroom.” Stacy explained, thinking that helping or fixing Tania is more important now.

“Hmm.” Twilight thinks to herself, before her horn glows, the aura surrounding Tania. It stays like that for a moment before the aura fades. “Oh, nothing to worry about,she’s just exhausted her supply of magic. She just needs to rest for a bit and she’ll be good as new.” Twilight says cheerfully. “I'll just take her and Blueblood to their room so that she can get some rest. Of course, I could just swallow her. She'd be able to absorb some of the magic Alicorn bodies seem to produce and wake up much sooner.” Twilight says. “I'll leave it up to you though.” She says to the group.

“I think lover boy over here should decide, since she’s his girlfriend ‘n all.” Stacy suggested, not even knowing if Tania is fine with being eaten alive, knowing that the other two wouldn’t know anyways.

“I, um, I uh guess we could go into your stomach, if it'll wake her up faster.” Blueblood replies in a stutter. “C-could you two come with?” He asks the other two tinies. “I-I f-feel. I-I m-mean…” He stutters some more. His fear of being swallowed, combining with the awkwardness of attempting to ask the two to accompany him in being there when Tania wakes up in Twilight.

Stacy was at first going to flat out reject it, but when she opened her mouth, what sounded like Tania’s voice echoed in her mind, ‘You might think that being silent is being nice by staying out of the way, but sometimes people may need you...’ It wasn’t exactly worded the same way Tania said it, but she had a feeling that sitting around and doing nothing isn’t exactly helping her feel less useless. Taking a small breath, she was the first to answer. “I… I-I’ll come w-with.” She stuttered.

Everyone in the group looks at Stacy in surprise, Lindsey especially. Tyler then speaks up. “I'll come too.”

“Well, alright then. I'll swallow Tania first so that you three have time to prepare.” Twilight says, levitating Tania, the girl floating near the young alicorn. “So just, you know, get prepared.”

Stacy decided to remain quiet for now, just thinking about going into someone’s stomach made her hands shake a little, even after she tried to flatten and keep them still. It was obvious that she was still scared of being eaten alive, but she knew that Lindsey was right, and how she had to get over it, and even get used to it since that would be part of her life now.

Twilight gently lays Tania on her tongue and carefully swallows her. “So, who's next?” She asks.

Blueblood moves forward. “I-I’ll go.” He stutters.

Twilight picks him up and swallows him. “Mmm, alright, who's next?

Tyler walks over to Stacy. “Do you want me to come with you? Make this easier on you?” Tyler asks her, knowing that she is afraid of being eaten.

“N-no. It’s fine. Besides… I have to do this on my own, even if it’s just a third quarter of what happens.” She rejected the offer, even though she wish she took it.

“Are you sure? You might want to take it slow and have someone with you just incase you freak out or something.” Tyler asks to make sure.

“It’s okay. Besides, after you go, you’ll be there when I get down there.” She said with a small smile, hoping that he would understand that she needs to do this on her own.

“Alright then, I'll see you inside.” He says with a chuckle. “Twilight, I'm next.” He calls to the princess.

Twilight picks him up and gulps him down. “Alright Stacy, just let me know when you're ready.”

“Oh, so when a princess offers you're fine with being eaten. I see how it is.” Lindsey says in a fake huff, having a hard time keeping a straight face.

“This isn’t about being in someone else’s stomach, it’s being there for someone instead of just sitting around and doing nothing.” Stacy said in all seriousness. “I did more then apologized to Tania, and she told me that doing nothing won’t make me less useless. I should at least be there with her, instead of having her wake up in somepony’s stomach alone and possibly afraid.” She finished after taking a shaky breath. “And after this is done… I want to talk to you.”

“I was just teasing Stacy, but I'm game to talk when you're done.” Lindsey replies.

“Are you ready, Stacy?” Twilight asks, making sure the tiny girl is ready before taking the plunge.

“Ready as I’ll ever be.” She mumbled, taking a deep breath as she only wish that Twilight will make it quick to ease the bad memories she might get while inside.

“Alright, I’ll try to be as gentle as possible with you.” Twilight says before picking her up and gently placing the girl onto her tongue, the wheelchair being left behind. She slowly draws her tongue in and shuts her mouth, before gently swallowing her. Stacy is pulled down her throat and lands in her stomach. Twilight’s stomach is a bit different than the other stomachs she'd been in, the stomach lining glowing with the same aura as Twilight’s magic.

Stacy was just about to freak out and either pass out or beg to be let out, but Tyler was quick to come to her aid, picking her up and carrying her over to where Tania lay. “Welcome to the Princess suite, Stacy.” He jokes, before setting her down against the wall next to Tania. Seeing that she wasn’t alone, and being reminded why she was here in the first place, made her less scared. Holding onto her legs, she tried her best to distract herself from being in someone’s stomach, keeping an eye on Tania, while also hoping that this magic recovery thing will finish soon.

Twilight carefully moves to a chair and sits down on it, making sure not to jostle her stomach. “Just let me know when Tania wakes up and you're ready to be let out.” She informs her guests.

Tyler puts a hand on Stacy’s shoulder. “You’re doing fine Stacy. Who knows, maybe the magic in here will help you as well.” Tyler says, thinking about magic and it's possibilities.

“I don’t know how exactly, but I guess a maybe is better than nothing.” She said, eyes closed and trying to imagine herself in a magic hot tub, or a sauna, or even those hot springs that are over gas or something to make it warm even in the highest of cliffs.

Tyler sits there next to Stacy. “Not so bad in here. Pretty interesting in here.” He says watching little magic swirls emanate from the stomach wall.

After awhile, the stomach decided to make a low growl, making Stacy whimper in fear, her imaginative thoughts going back to the time she was almost snatched, making her want to get out so badly.

Tyler scooched closer and wraps an arm around Stacy. “I'm here for you, and remember not only are we in the princess so it’s safe, but remember who you, we are doing this for.” He points over to Tania and Blueblood who is curled up on her lap, his head resting on her chest, waiting for her to wake up. “He seemed just as scared as you about getting eaten, but he's so focused on Tania that he isn't right now.”

Stacy slowly nodded her head in agreement. “Y-you're r-right.” She gulped as she tried to forget the earlier stomach sound and focused more on Tania and being there for her… like a good friend should.

“Don’t worry Tania, I won’t ever harm you or any tiny else, and we don't like snatchers any more than you do.” Twilight adds.

But it seemed that Twilight’s echoing voice, with the title ‘snatcher’ being heard also reminded her who she was in, making her cover her ears and shut her eyes, trying to shut almost every of her senses so she couldn't be reminded of her internal fear of being eaten alive.

Tyler holds her closer. “Stacy, it's okay. We're here for you, and even if you don’t believe it, so is Twilight, so is Lindsey.” He says to comfort her.

Even with Tyler's words of comfort, it didn't seem to help her in the long run. “Th-that's not true. No one should be here for me! I… I just push people away, I should be alone. I should've been snatched up so I wouldn't make anyone else feel bad.” She began to tear up as she kept on thinking back to the moment when she was genuinely scared, alone, and weak. “Lindsey shouldn't be here for me… no pony should be here for me, not even you…” She kept her ears covered and eyes tightly shut as she just wanted to be alone.

Tyler keeps holding her close. “You wanted to be here for Tania, we are too, but we're also here for you. I know you're scared now, but we're your friends. You may not know this, but I'm scared too, I'm brand new to this, I just arrived not too long ago. Now I know I haven't been snatched or anything, but if we didn't care, if they weren’t your friends back then, I know it sounds horrible, but I don’t think you'd be here. Stacy, we do care, that's why we're still here.” He says. “I get it, you feel vulnerable, and when you feel vulnerable you lash out. You're scared, I understand, if you need to let out your emotions, then go ahead. Sometimes you just need to let it all out so you can get better.” Tyler whispers so only they can hear.

“B-but what if I don't want to let out my emotions?” She said, looking at him with tear filled eyes, only to shut them again once she noticed the pulsating background, her breathing being shaky.

“Stacy, it's your decision, but you really should consider it if you want to get a hold on this. It is your bottled emotions that make you lash out at us.” Tyler says.

Stacy stayed quiet for a while, unsure whether or not she should even say anything, but hearing that her bottled emotions was why she was treating everyone so badly, she felt that maybe Lindsey’s talk can't really wait until this is all over. “I-is there a way that Lindsey can be here too..? I-I need her to hear this a-.” She said, still shaking in fear over her situation at hand.

Twilight thinks for a moment. “Well, I could shrink her down and giver her enchantments that would make her just as durable as you, from what it looks like she wouldn’t mind, of course she could just listen to my tummy.” Twilight says, giggling at bit at the last part.

Stacy seemed to think that giggling was towards herself. “I don't need her to listen. I need her so I can say all of this in front of her, not behind some pony’s stomach flesh.” She said with some anger, even thinking of just giving up and staying silent after all this.

Twilight sighs a bit at Stacy’s anger. “I wasn’t making fun of you, I was just giggling at the thought of Lindsey having her head pressed against my stomach. I'll go ahead and shrink her now. She'll be joining you soon.” After a moment Lindsey slides into the stomach.

“Wow, you have a very pretty stomach Twilight!” Lindsey says before she walks over to Stacy. “Alright, what do you want to tell us?” She asks.

Stacy messed with her hair a little as she was a little nervous on what she was going to say. But she just had to say it. “I know you don't like me the same way I do.” She simply said, keeping her eyes closed as if she looked away, she would only see stomach acid and muscle and she couldn't really deal with what she was going to say.

“Go on Stacy, I'm listening.” Lindsey says, ready to listen.

“But, I’m also guessing you want a reason as to why I was so… forward in saying that I liked you more than a friend.” She added, not even waiting for an answer before she continued. “Since you know how I got disabled, there was a bit more to it. Things that I couldn’t just turn away from. And that was my girlfriend… Alice.” She said the name, it making her feel a little sore in her heart before she continued. “She was just like you, kind, smart, and really didn’t take anything from no one. We had that kind of relationship where we could be mean to one another, but it was somehow another sign of love.” She couldn’t help but smile a little after saying that. “But just like you… she also had a modeling reputation. And when the accident happened… she just dumped me like an old fashion trend.” Her voice broke a little when she said that. “She knew I was hurt, both physically and mentally… and now emotionally. I didn’t know why, but seeing you, and seeing how you acted, you seemed just like her, maybe even better. I just thought… if you looked and acted like her… then maybe I can get back what I lost. What was taken from me other than my own fame, popularity, and my ability to walk again.” She finished as she felt her throat get all dried up, really not wanting to say all that, but it wasn’t like she could take it back now.

“I um, I mean. Well.” Lindsey says thinking of what to say. “Stacy, it means a lot to hear you say that, and I know you just really put yourself out there, A-and I appreciate it.” Lindsey sighs. “I do like you Stacy, and it’s mean of me to have been playing with your emotions, making you think I love you romantically. The truth is, besides our size difference, I, I want to marry and have children of my own. It's something I've dreamed about for all my life. I dreamed about marrying a nice man and having children. I don’t want to lose you as a friend Stacy, and I hope you understand…” Lindsey replies honestly.

Tyler remains next to Stacy. “I guess that means you don't return my feelings, huh?” Tyler asks.

“Now that I think about it, it was kind of obvious as soon as you tried to dump Tyler on me.” She couldn’t help but chuckle a little at how blind she was before. “And sorry, but I think you know the answer to your own question. I just feel more comfortable around girls than guys.” She lightly shrugged as she really didn’t have any feelings for him, the blushes only being in embarrassment over how uncomfortably close he was to her almost every second of the day.

“I wasn’t trying to dump Tyler on you, it's like I said he's been like a brother to me. That's how we both feel about each other. His feelings towards you were genuine, but I suppose that doesn’t matter now.” Lindsey sighs a bit. “I guess you two were just after someone of the, uh, wrong orientation.” Lindsey then sheds a tear. “Meanwhile I'm after the impossible, or a stallion I guess.” She let’s out a sigh.

Stacy noticed the single tear from Lindsey’s cheek. Wishing she could say words of encouragement, but she knew that Lindsey was smart enough to know those positive words were just words to cheer her up. She let in a small breath before she responded. “I’m not going to say some perky little motivation speech, but who’s to say it won’t happen to some guy somewhere else in Equestria. I mean, no one thought things would change… until you came along.” She couldn’t hide the pink blush on her cheeks. “I remember seeing that kid Timmy or whatever, seeing the hope in his eyes and even saying that he’ll dream of being as big as you. Even though people can’t show it, whether being a pervert or a scaredy-cat by just your size… you’ve gave them hope that things might change. That if some model in Canterlot can be big again, then why not another man, or a young teen… or even a disabled girl.” She smiled a little as she looked at Lindsey in the eyes, a small glimpse of hope in her own eyes.

“I guess. I just don’t see it being permanent so far, just that spell Twilight and Starlight developed.” Lindsey replies, not feeling much better. “I don’t mind switching places with you every so often though.” Lindsey says.

“Well, I wouldn't say it's better just getting a sliver of what’s technically ‘normal sized’ without the magic.” She said, knowing that if she got used to it, she would just want more. “Besides, a rude disabled girl on a wheelchair isn't the best idea to have roaming around if I can't even notice if I accidentally run over a tiny.” She lightly joked, knowing they would be fine, but they'll still feel some pain. “I know you must've stepped on some people your first time around.”

“Maaaybe.” Lindsey says with a giggle. “It gets easier, plus tinies tend to avoid getting into front of you if you're big. Plus you usually end up looking at the ground to make sure you don't step on anyone.” Lindsey replies.

“Sheesh, if you keep looking down, you might get a double chin.” She joked, nudging her elbow a little. “And will all that caution, I think I may need a instructor on how to be big again.” She smiled, feeling that she couldn't really go out on her own if she was big again.

“It gets easier as you get used to size. Though, sometimes you end up picking up some guests.” Lindsey replies with a giggle, rubbing her belly to show where the guests end up.

“Yeah, I don’t think I can get used to being on the other end. And not to offend tinies, but the idea of eating something alive is a little weird. Even if I said that in a wrong way when we switched sizes that one time. I didn’t really intend to call you a bug.” She apologized, rubbing the back of her neck as she glanced away, noticing the galaxy-like stomach acid. “Woah, that looks kinda cool.”

Lindsey watches the glowing, purple liquid as it slowly swirls. “See, you’re already starting to see the good, the positives. It is pretty cool in here.”

Twilight giggles around them. “I’m glad you’ve started to improve, and that my stomach is feeling a bit safer, or at least looks more interesting.” She says happily.

Of course, not everything was fixed as she tensed up as soon as she heard Twilight’s echoing voice, not completely used to being in a pony’s stomach, or anyone’s for that matter.

Lindsey sits down. “Well, it'll take a while, but you’ll get used to it.” Lindsey says. “It'll take practice in suppose, maybe you can start in mine, since there's a time limit anyway and since we're closer friends. Though you might like to come back to Twilight’s stomach, if only to look at all the swirls and patterns her stomach makes.” She suggests. “When you feel up to it of course.”

“I-I don’t think I’m that ready y-yet.” She admitted, swallowing her fear so she could actually talk. “B-besides, I d-don’t think I can g-go on my own.”

“Well, maybe another friend can help.” Another female voice said, to which it belonged to Tania, who was finally waking up, or more like letting them know she was awake. She woke up at a rather sensitive and personal moment, so she decided to stay quiet until the right time, which was now.

“Tania! You’re awake!” Lindsey says with relief.

Blueblood nuzzles closer to Tania. “Well were so worried!” He adds.

“Welcome back sleeping beauty. Prince Charming here was getting ready to test kissing you to see if you'd wake up.” Tyler jokes, patting Blueblood’s shoulders when he said ‘Prince Charming’.

Tania couldn’t help but blush a little when he said that, for a moment thinking that it might be true. “Oh Blueblood, you wouldn’t have to go so far.” She smiled as she gave the stallion a hug, followed by an ear scratch.

Blueblood hugs her back. “Of course I would.” He says, working up some courage. “I love you.” He replies, nuzzling closer to her.

Tania’s cheeks turned red after he said that, never really hearing him say that himself. “Y-you do?” She just had to ask.

He nuzzles closer to her, giving her a light kiss on her cheek. “Of course I do.” He says, feeling much more courageous now. “You made a deal with my Aunt, to stay in her stomach, just so we could visit the castle garden for a while. You've helped me adapt to my new tiny life and start to see the positives in it. How could I not love you?” He asks rhetorically, before nuzzling her again.

Tania’s red blush only got more noticeable, making her too flustered to even say anything as she was never really thanked for her kind actions, mostly cause most people on earth were just too cold to appreciate some good things. “I. You. Uhm...” Of course her stuttering only made her blush more in embarrassment.

Blueblood continues nuzzling her, and happy look on his face. “Awwe. So cute!” Lindsey exclaims. “Maybe I should find a nice stallion who can curl up on my lap.” She says to herself cheerfully.

“I would say the same, but I don’t think a giant mare will be cool for me.” Stacy commented, not going to lie to herself and say she wasn’t a little jealous what Tania has.

“Are you sure about that?” Lindsey giggles, waggling her eyebrows. “Or are you just more interested in giant women?”

Stacy couldn’t help but blush red after she said that. “W-what about it? I… I like giant women.” She admitted. “But it seems now all I shall have is just fantasies and dreams since I am not worthy of the one and only goddess.” She said in a bit of a hurt and exaggerated tone.

Lindsey giggles. “Well, if you don’t mind being with Tyler, I'm sure the three of us could have some fun.” She says, with a seductive lick of her lips. “Just remember, I'm giant.”

“Oh? And who’s to say that Twilight can’t switch the roles a little?” She smirked back at her, showing bedroom eyes proving that she wouldn’t mind at all.

“You want to be the giantess and have some fun?” Lindsey asks with a giggle. “But who would be the third? Tyler and I are practically siblings, that would be pretty awkward for both of us. Or is that the point?” Lindsey asks, still giggling along bit, with a blush forming on her face.

“I don't know. Are you into that kind of stuff?” She moved a little closer, her mischievous smirk getting bigger as she knew she was getting to her in some way.

Lindsey giggles some more. “I'd have to find a boyfriend for it, Tyler and I would just be too uncomfortable with each other.” She says still blushing.

“Yeah I wouldn’t be comfortable with it either, but if I bring a girl of my own along, that would make it five.” Tyler says. “Are we making actual plans here, or is this just teasing?” He asks.

Stacy couldn't stop the pout showing on her face as they avoided the obvious question. “Humph! You aren't as fun to tease.” She said in a bit of an ticked off kid tone.

“Oh, sorry to ruin your fun.” Tyler says, apologetically.

“Well, it was more towards Lindsey, but you just added water to the flame.” She said, meaning that he just put out the whole fire, of course not intentionally blaming him.

Lindsey just giggles some more. “So, should we get out now, or do you guys just want to relax in here and watch Twilight’s pretty stomach acid some more?” Lindsey asks, as she was fine either way. She turns and watches is some more drips from the walls forming interesting patterns on the way to the “floor” where it pools into pinkish purple glowing puddles.

“Yeah, as much as I like the acid pool, I think we’ve been inside long enough.” Tania said, sitting up as some of the galaxy-like design was in her hair, making her squeeze her hair a little to get some of it out.

Twilight giggles a bit. “Alright, who’s first?” She asks, carefully getting off the chair and cantering over to a table, levitating several sets of tiny towels over.

“Blueblood?” Tania called his name to see if he was ready to leave together, a pink blush on her cheeks when she looked at him.

Blueblood remains on her lap, curled up and hugging her. “Yeah?” He asks, still nuzzling her. “I’m ready if you are.” He replies, figuring that’s what she’s asking about.

Tania felt that Blueblood wasn't quite ready to let go yet,deciding to just pick him up and carry him instead of just telling him to let go. “We’re ready Twilight!” She called up at the alicorn.

Twilight closes her mouth and huffs, coughing the two up into her mouth. She lowers her head onto the table and opens her mouth wide, allowing them to walk out.

Tania came out with Blueblood still in her arms, making her way to the towel as she picked one of the bigger ones and wrapped it around the both of them, cleaning Blueblood first cause the acid and leftover food smell might stay stuck in his fur. Of course being a little rough as if she was drying a dog with a towel instead.

Blueblood waits for her to be done before seizing a towel in his magic and using it to wipe her off, before she could start on herself. He laughs a bit as he has it wrap around her somewhat roughly to help get the acid out of her clothes.

Twilight, having let the two out, keeps her head on the table. “Alright, who’s next?” She asks the remaining group in her stomach.

“Perhaps Lindsey should go next, I mean, we don't know how long that spell of her’s is gonna last.” Stacy suggested, “And we’ll go afterwards.”

“Alright.” Lindsey says, getting up and heading to the “front” of the stomach. “See you guys when I’m big again.” She waves before getting coughed up. She then heads out to get herself cleaned up and Twilight removes the spell.

“Okay, it’s just you two now.” Twilight says to Tyler and Stacy.

Tyler leans to pick up Stacy. “Ready to go?” He asks, knowing she’s probably more than ready.

“Yeah, more than ready.” She answered, wrapping her arms around his neck when he picked her up to be more secure.

Tyler stands up, making sure he’s got a good grip on her so she doesn’t fall, and so that she doesn’t strangle him. He heads over and Twilight coughs them up into her mouth. He then gets up and carries her out and over to where the towels are. “Enjoy the ride?” He asks, setting her down and handing her a towel to dry herself off with as he does the same.

“Could’ve been faster.” She commented, quick to try her hands and arms before she worked on the rest of her body. Both when Stacy and Tania dried their hair, it looks a bit messy afterwards, but nothing but a good brushing won’t fix.

Twilight stands up, looking them over. “We’ll have to do that again sometime.” She says with a smile. “It’s nice that you got to solve a friendship problem, and in my stomach too.” She says with a giggle.

Lindsey sits down next to the table, looming over her friends, giant again. “Yup, it was definitely interesting. Nice to have been in a stomach again too, thanks Twilight.” She smiles at the princess. She then looks down to the group. “Everyone else had a full day?” She asks.

I definitely did.’ Stacy thought, rubbing the back of her neck a bit.

“Sorry I had to ruin the visit to Sugarcube Corner. I didn’t even know where that exhaustion came from.” Tania just had to apologize, feeling that now she’ll be stalked for the rest of her life unless she goes there, but she had a feeling she had enough of the Ponyville for now.

“That exhaustion, Tania, came from emptying your magic reserves. Everypony only has so much, though you can grow your reserves with use. Magic is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets, but if you over do it you can hurt yourself and under using it causes it to weaken.” Twilight explains.

Lindsey giggles. “It’s okay Tania, we’ll just go some other time. Oh, and don’t worry about Pinkie Pie. She knows that it was an accident. You don’t have to worry about her tailing you around Ponyville waiting to strike.” Lindsey explains. “Even more, all she’d probably try to do is make sure you get a pastry of some sort.”

“O-oh, okay. I think I get what you mean by that.” She responded to Twilight’s explanation, only more questions appearing in her mind, but knowing that even if she asked, they would go unanswered. “And I’m glad that Pinkie understands. I wouldn’t want to be a new resident of her town that she has… at least I heard rumors about it.”

Twilight giggles. “I’ve heard of it too. Don’t worry, she allows for travel to and from the town. It’s not like you’re permanently stuck there. I’ve heard that tinies like it there too, after all, it’s probably the safest village anywhere.” Twilight explains.

“Sounds that way if tinies and ponies think it’s just a rumor. I bet not a single Snatcher has found it yet.” Tania responded, the way it sounded like some underground village or even one in a forest… or just in a secret room in the bakery.

“Oh, I have a very reliable source though. Pinkie Pie herself.” Twilight says. “She doesn’t tell anyone but her closest friends and tinies. Of course, if anypony ended up visiting the village, I doubt they could snatch anyone.” Twilight giggles, keeping it vague on where the village is.

“Maybe we can try and see if we can visit it tomorrow.” Tania said with a smile, a little curious on what a secret village will look like. But judging by where Pinkie works, possibly like a candy town. “And Lindsey too if you can do that spell on her again.”

Twilight giggles some more. “I’ll tell Pinkie Pie, she’ll love to hear that you tinies want to visit the village.” Twilight says. “For now though, I suggest some rest.”

Yeah, rest more after I just woke up from passing out.’ Tania thought with sarcasm, not wanting to be rude. “Okay, I guess so, but didn’t I just wake up?”

Lindsey sets her hand down next to them. “Yes, but it’s good to get rest after passing out. We can also get a quick bite to eat from the kitchen.” She says.

“Okay.” She was quick to climb on while still having Blueblood on her, giving him a bit of a piggy back ride with his hooves wrapped around her from behind, almost looking like a pony backpack, Tyler and Stacy following with more help for Stacy.

Lindsey waits until all of them climb onto her hand before heading to the kitchen, getting them all something to eat, and dropping Blueblood and Tania off in their room before heading off to hers. Blueblood nuzzles Tania, smiling. “I know you were scared this morning because of your new voice magic, but I think today was a good day.” He says happily.

“Yeah, today was a good day.” Tania agreed as she snuggled close to Blueblood, actually feeling tired, but not exhausted. She let out a small yawn before she pulled the quilt over the both of them. “I think sleep is a good idea right about now.”

Blueblood curls up closer to Tania, nuzzling her some more. “Yeah, sleep would be nice.” He says with a yawn, before kissing her. “Good night.”

With a pink hue on her cheeks, she kissed him in return. “Night Blueblood.” She replied as she brought him closer, resting her head on his mane before she started drifting off to sleep.
