Surpising Meetings

Alex woke up when the truck came to a stop. She looked curiously about and saw they were at an animal shelter. She was puzzled why they were there until they started to pass a mirrored window and wilted, “Oh yeah.” She muttered muttered to herself. “I’m a blinking mouse girl.” Feeling depressed this had started out as a jaunt to help a friend, got two emails, took a nap because of jetlag only to be turned into a three inch mouse girl.

They passed a sign that said, “Everfree Animal Shelter. Pet Adoption Week. Free Pet Vaccination with Every Adoption!” Alex didn’t pay attention to the sign, otherwise she would’ve realized she was about to get a bear hug from a child.

Ashley carefully put Alex on the front counter and said, “Now, you just wait here, Alex. Rarity and I are going to hunt down Flora and bring her to you.”

Alex Sighed and sat down as they went to talk to a distinguished gentleman,who was Flora’s supervisor. She pulled up her knees as quietly said, “Maybe this Flora’s like Fluttershy in MLP:FIM.” Though she heard herself say things in American English, everybody else heard squeeks, which she found quite frustrating.

She didn’t see the small hand rise up and close with her until it quickly closed around her and yank her off the counter with a “YOWLP!!!!” She could barely breath as a young child ran up to a young woman shouting, “MOMMY! MOMMY! MOMMY! I found Mousie! Can we keep her?” The little girl asked excitedly, holding up the struggling mouse girl in her tight grasp.

By then, Ashley heard the excited girl and went over to investigate, “Now hold on, sugarcube. That ‘mousie’ is not fer adoption. She’s a friend of ours and needs to be checked out by our friend Flora.”

“Help!” Alex weakly said/squeaked. The little girl was squeezing the life out of Alex unknowingly. In fact, if Alex had been a normal mouse instead of an anthro, she was certain she would’ve passed out from lack of air. Which unfortunately was a possibility fast approaching.

Ashley found Rarity and asked if she found Flora, “Alex is in trouble! That there lil’ girl thinks our mouse friend’s for adoption!”

“Just my luck.” Alex thought as the world started to get darker. “Killed by a little girl wanting a pet. What a crappy way to go!”

“ELMIRA!” A new female voice sternly said, ”How many times have I told not to squeeze the animals!” Alex watched as the world spun briefly and a butter yellow Pegasus with a pink mane and tail came into view as she walked up to the girl, “The STARE” fully active.

Elmira reluctantly handed over the semi-conscious mouse girl to Flora, “Sorry, Miss Flora. I just wanted to pet her!”

Eventually, Elmira’s mother pulled her aside and out the door to have a stern talk about not hurting the animals in the shelter.

Ashley chuckled as Flora’s stare forced the girl to surrender the mouse to her. “Ah hope she’s gonna be okay, Flora.” Her expression on her face turned to concern for the mouse girl.

Alex gulped life saving air and Said/squeaked, “Three cheers for the Element of Kindness!” She lay flat in the anthro mare’s hand as she slowly recovered.

After a few minutes, Alex sat up before saying/squeaking, "Thank you for the save. If it weren't for you, I would've been squeezed to death, literally!”

“I'm sorry Miss Mouse, Elmira’s mother helps run the shelter so Elmira visits the animals often.” Flora said. “While she mostly visits the dog pens to play with the bigger ones on the weekend. We have been teaching her how to treat the smaller animals now that she’s five years old.”

Ashley smiled, “Well, Flora, Rarity and I came by to show you Alex here. Turns out she’s the friend Rarity needed to pick up at the airport.” She pointed at the mouse girl. “Ya can understand her, right? All Ah’m hearing’ is cute squeaking mouse noises.”

“It’s even easier than with anypony except Angel Bunny,” the butter yellow anthro smiled at the thought of her oldest pal. “Alex might still be speaking American English, but her size and the transformation could be what’s causing the sounds to change.”

Ashley nodded to Flora’s explanation, “But ya can still understand her, right? Ah mean, if yer supposed to be Fluttershy, you c’n talk to all sorts of critters. Even this here mouse. She even has a Cutie Mark on her shoulders.” She pointed out the Cutie Mark on Alex’s shoulders to Flora.

POOF! That's not too surprising if we’re dealing with an anthro of any kind!” Ayumi said, teleporting in. “Dad and I got Rarity’s text and no it wasn’t him who anthrofied Alexandra. That could have been the MLP Theory Analysts.” ‘I swear if it was Mama Luna, I’ll laugh out loud!’ “Twilight will be here soon; she’s still meeting her second mother as my mom came to visit last night.”

Ashley nodded, “That’s good to’ hear. How’s yer mother dealin’ with ya being, well, an anthro?”

“Well enough, considering she’s one too. She never told me she was a fan of Gen One; guess who she is! I’ll give you a hint; She’s the Twilight that started them all!”

Ashley raised a brow, “She’s the original Twilight? Twilight’s mother, Twilight Velvet, or Mrs. Sparkle, from our show’s practically based on her, right?”

“Close but no cider, AJ! My mother turned into Twilight Twinkle, the Gen One pony the Lady Faust based both Velvet and Sparkle off of.”

Ashley shook her head, “That’s a lot ta take in. Ah take it Ah’m supposed to be based on the ol’ Applejack from that time period? But the MLP version, Generation Four?”

“Actually AJ’s design is based off of a gen two or three pony. Oh, and get this! Rarity is based of of Gen three Rainbow Dash while Scootaloo is based off of Gen Three Rarity!”

Ashley tipped her hat back in thought, “Just don’t tell Rarity that or Rainbow.” She could imagine the looks on their faces.

“I already did, back during Pinkie’s party; they took it very well all things considered. I even showed them the movie in which both first appeared last Friday. but let’s get back on topic; how’s Alex doing?”

Ashley smiled, “Flora’s tendin’ t her now. She may need to get some new clothes as Rarity and I found her with her old clothes and other items she brought for her trip to meet up with us.”

“Maybe not! Daddy just taught me a resizing spell that could either get Alex bigger or resize her clothes to fit. It all depends on her magic quota.”” Ayumi said most enthusiastically.

Ashley scratched her head, “I dunno anything about magic quotas and spells that change one’s size or clothes, but if Alex is up for it, you can surely try. Probably do the spells someplace private-like; maybe at Twilight’s or maybe Rarity’s? Our next stop was to see if Rarity would design some clothes for a mouse.”

“Magic quota just means how much magic one has in their body. The Elements have so much magic it's not even funny! Alex, from what I can sense, has similar amounts of magic to Flutters.” Ayumi explained.

Ashley nods, “That does make perfect sense now. Ah have the Element of Honesty, and Flora’s element is Kindness.”

“And we have two elements of magic! One with more power and knowledge than anypony but herself and the other a teacher in her own right.”

Meanwhile, Flora had taken Alex to the veterinary clinic in the shelter. Flora performed a thorough physical examination and found the only thing majorly wrong was a dislocated tail.

Alex tentatively moved her tail, eliciting some major pain when Flora reset it. The pain subsided enough for Alex to strike up a conversation with Flora. “ It's a good thing you're around Flora. I was afraid I was going to be forced to pantomime what I want to say to everybody else.” She said to do the butter yellow Pegasus.

Alex then looked at Flora, “I think I better choose a new name to go with this body.” She adds as she looks over her new body. “I’m thinking Alexandra Traveller.”

Flora smiled then frowned. “Alexandra and Alexander sound very much alike; won't that be confusing?”

The mouse girl shook her head, “Not all that much since both use the nickname Alex in them. I answer to Alex more often than not. Add to that, Viator translates from Latin to Traveler. Huh?!” Alex worriedly looked about, first the clinic in general then at herself followed by Fluttershy then towards the shelter. Her tail then begin to whip about in agitation.

“Alex?” a worried Flora asked. “Something wrong?”

“Well it's official.” Alex said dejectedly. “Another adventure just dragged me in.” Flora got a worried look on her face but before she could ask, Alex said, “I’ll tell you and your friends later.”

At that moment Alex’s stomach growled loudly. Alex blushed at the sound, a sheepish look crossed her rodent face as she said, “Ah, I might be a tiny bit hungry as I missed a few meals getting here.”

Flora smiled and placed a small pile of alfalfa pellets and a bowl of fresh water in front of her. After a couple of minutes of contemplating the pellets, Alex picked up a pellet and ate it. After the first pellet, the rest disappeared down her rodent gullet.

Not long after that, Ashley walked in with Rarity and Ayumi in tow. Alex saw Rarity and another anthro she hadn't seen before step in.

“Is Alex gunna be okay, Flora? Ah knew you’d be the girl to go to for animal caretaking’.” Ashley asked, removing her Stetson, waiting for Flora’s prognosis.

Alex gave a small burp from her alfalfa meal. “Excuse me.” She said/squeaked.

Ashley chuckled, “At least the girl’s got some manners.” She turned to Ayumi, “Ayumi, this is Alex. Alex, this is Ayumi. She’s stayin’ with Pinkie Pie, one of our other friends.”

Alex stared at Ayumi and said, “Pleased to meet you.” She held out a paw, and smiled. “Now could somemouse tell me what is going o….” Alex clamped her hand around her snout, eyes wide in surprise.

Ashley chuckled, “Sounds like some mouse uttered her first ‘mouse-ism.’ Kinda like our pony-isms, only fer mice.”
Alex looked herself over and said, “Would some mouse please explain why I am suddenly using … mouse-isms?”

Ashley shrugged, “Dunno, sugarcube. Ah’m an Earth pony, not a mouse. Maybe because the same way we ponies use pony-isms, mice would use mouse-isms?”

Alex nodded as it made sense then sniffs and examines herself then says, “I think I need some grooming.”
Flora smiles and holds her hand down for Alex to climb on. A little later Alex is standing in a sink rubbing flea shampoo into her fur and hair.

While Alex was being tended to by Flora, Ashley waited with Rarity and Ayumi. She checked her messages for any updates with Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, or Twilight.
She finds a message from Twilight. “Don’t forget the party’s at my place. Bring Rarity’s friend as well. Pinkie wants to meet him.”

Alex stayed still as Flora brushed her fur and thought to herself, “Maybe I should tell that I am used to dealing with magic. I know Flora noticed me looking about when that mystic flare occurred. But was it a threat or another mystic surge. *SIGH* I don’t know. What I do know is I felt mystic resonances from Ashley, Flora, myself (no surprise there),and Rarity. I also sensed a fifth resonance in where Ashley and Rarity is. *SIGH* As long as it isn’t chaos magic I’m ok”
Alex rinsed herself off, and braced herself as Flora use the blowdryer on her. What happened next neither of them were prepared for. *Poomph!!* Alex's fur poofed out turning her into a literal furball, causing both females to dissolve in a fit of giggles.
After they both recovered Flora brushed Alex down, and carried her to where Ashley, Ayumi, & Rarity were waiting.

“Alex,” Ashley Called as the mouse girl rode in Flora’s hand. “Ayoumi here says she could use a resizing her dad taught to make you human sized again.”
Alex thought a bit before replying,
“I got something for you.” Ayumi said pulling what looked like a black coin with Discord’s face on one side and Ayumi’s cutie mark on the other. “It’s a translator that will let the others understand you're squeaks Daddy Discord made it in case of a anthro couldn't speak or the others couldn't hear them.”, “It would be a good help as I would be able to wear most of my clothes again.” Rarity then spoke up, “Why can’t you wear all of them once your human size again.”
Alex gave Rarity a look and replied, “Rarity, I was a guy before I changed into this. Think.”
Rarity thought about it. A moment later Rarity blushed as she meekly said, “Nevermind.”

Alex in the meantime looked at the translator then at Ayumi. She then said, “Three questions. First how am I going to use it? second, Discord’s your Father?

“It’s automatic,” Ayumi said “as long as you’re near it everyone can understand you. Second this Discord knows my oc’s farther and has agreed to teach me about chaos magic. My human father passed before we moved from Rochester NY to the siberian plains.

Alex starts to look nervous, “ is your resizing spell chaos magical?”

“Somewhat, the spell itself is based in more traditional merlinian magic, but to use it outside of that reality I have to use chaos magic as a base.”
“That’s what I’m afraid of.” Alex says that she jumps from flows hands and goes to the center of the room. “*SIGH* Let’s get this over with.”

“Dude I’m living magic energy I’ll keep it stable trust me.” Ayumi said as she changed into her elemental from for better control over the chaos magic now flowing through her
“Trust me.” Alex said “It's Nothin On You. Ready when you are.”

Ayumi aimed her claws at Alex as the spell took hold and Ayumi kept pouring the power on. At first it seemed that Alex hadn’t been affected but that was due to the spell starting off by analyzing her genetic structure. Then Alex started to grow the mouse-girl grew and grew till she reached about 5’8” .

“See no problem.” Ayumi said reverting back to her dragonoid pony hybrid form. “The chaos magic only brought the spell into this reality is power and effects are all my own alicorn magic.” ‘wonder if i could use fairy law? Maybe later.’

Alex looked herself over. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Flora’s eyes widened as she said, ”Oh my.” everybody could see that at 5’8” Alex’s bust was the same size as Flora.

Suddenly, every unicorn and alicorn in the place began to feel some sort of pressure build up.
Alex's eyes widened and she realized what about to happen. “Oh crap” I was all she had time to say when a green flash followed by a small Shockwave knocked everypony on their off their feet.

Ayumi absorbed the Shock Wave into herself as Alexandria stood there “Nice! Figured that might happen. The spell I used analyzed you gene's Alex. It seems you’re like me, a being who had experience in magic before we changed. Mine was dream magic what was yours?”

Alex shrugged as she looked up from her 3” height. “No clue.” She replied. “All I know it’s where my magical bursts come from and it doesn’t like chaos magic.”
“I can use the spell again without chaos magic i just needed it to bring that spell into our reality. It’ll stick this time.”

“We hope.”
Alex took a deep breath then said “Maybe you can analyze it when next time I burst.”

“Actually I absorbed your ‘surge burst’ into my being.” Ayumi replied. “It seems you just need to learn how to hand cast. You’ve been building up magic within your being to the point of saturation, and the reason chaos magic is so volatile is because of the fact that you hold almost as much of the stuff as Sonata Dusk. I have my oc’s memories and Sonata
became one of her wives at some point after rainbow rocks.”

“And what is the spell level of the siren?” The mouse girl asked. Alex put a paw to her chin and mused aloud. “Maybe that’s the reason for my wild luck.”

“I’ll call her up she and my oc linked there pendants and it seems mine is linked in as well.” Ayumi said pointing to the purple gem hanging from a black satin cloth on her neck. “Hey Nata! You There?”

<Yeah this Twily or Ayumi?> the blue girl’s voice came through.

“Ayumi hey what’s your chaos level again?”

<12,000,000 Why need to talk with Dagi again about bring us over?>

“Nope just need a reference for a new anthro.”

<Oh cool! And about the transfer Dagi said Novo is thinking about it.>
“Out of curiosity.” Alex said pound enough to be heard.. “How many of the Viator clan is in your realm?”

“Huh Viator clan what’s that?” Ayumi said as she got ready to recast the size spell. “If you're trying to talk to my Wife only the elements and other immortals can use my link sorry. It’s one of the few thing my magic can’t fully influence yet.”
“Sorry.” Alex meekly says.
“Don’t worry. The big thing with that is that i can link minds as well as worlds. So unless you have a strong mind or a link with someone else it can hurt A LOT to use that kind of magic. I guess you didn’t notice that you heard Nata through Thought-speak ah-la Animorphs.”

“The Viator clan is my clan. Due to the nature of the curse my family lives under has spread to multiple realms. I was just wondering whether I had some family in that realm.”
“But nevermind that now that I've been cleaned & groomed I think we better go and find me something to wear.

“Actually let me cast this before we go it’ll be much easier now that it has no chaos magic.” Ayumi said. “Besides I think you would at least like to be a bit bigger.”
“I would like to avoid a repeat of my near squishing.”

“Ok,” Ayumi said “for now i’ll make you 4’ 8”. I think part of your surge was my making you normal height too soon sorry. Your body might need some time to adjust to the new size.”
“Ok.”

“Alright!” Ayumi said as she cast the newly chaos-less spell “Here goes nothing!” Ayumi activated a magic syphoning spell to keep Alex from surging again as the she-mouse grew to the new shorter size. “That should do for now. I also used a small syphoning spell to allow my magic to alter you without another surge and yes it’s Tirek’s spell but in a low-power form. Your magic tastes like grapes for some reason.”
Alex had a puzzled look on her face. “I feel … odd.” Without any warning, Alex was 3” tall again with only a flash green to signal magic in use. “WHAT THE CATS?!” Alex said her spot as a 3” mouse. “ okay. okay. Now's not the time to freak out.
After a half-hour of more attempts to get Alex taller than three inches tall it took Ashley saying, “It’s like she locked at that size.”
“Time to go.” Alex said. “If were get to Rarity's place with enough time for her to make me some outfits and for everybody to get to the party we gotta leave now.” Alex then jumped down then climbed up Asley, who grabbed the translator coin they returned to her pickup. Alex made sure to stay on Ashley’s stetson the three of them left the Everfree Animal Shelter and towards Alex’s date with new wardrobe
