BANG! The door to Princess Celestia’s room was kicked open and in walked the sun princess herself. Mane disheveled, bags under her eyes, and wings sagging from her body, the poor ruler looked much worse to wear. Celestia sluggishly removed her shoes, crown, regalia, and unceremoniously dumped them onto the floor in a heap before flopping down onto her bed.

“What a taxing day,” she thought as she pulled the covers over herself “The entire court was taken up by the nobles, and all they did was waste my time with such petty problems! There is no reason for Ever Wealthy to sue her neighbors just because they are making hedge animals! And why did Solid Gold try to shut down a restaurant just because they ran out of his favorite dish? It makes no sense.”

Celestia sighed as she turned onto her side, nestling further under the covers. She was happy she had the foresight to lower the sun on her way to her room so she could just dive right into bed, instead of waiting a few extra minutes by lowering the sun on her balcony. 

“I wish I could just have a day off,” Celestia thought, as she closed her eyes “Just a day where I don’t have to worry about the problems of the upper class, running a kingdom, or deal with the responsibilities of a princess. Just one day to let loose and enjoy myself.”

“We believe we can help with that dear sister,” said a voice.

With a yelp Celestia’s eye’s shot open, however she was no longer in her bed, she now found herself fully dressed again and standing inside an empty void.

“Where am I?” Celestia murmured to herself as she took in the surroundings.

“We would think that would be quite obvious,” the voice answered with a giggle. Celestia turned around a saw her sister Luna, princess of the night standing behind her with big smile on her face “We’re in your dream of course! You must have been extremely tired dear sister because your mind is completely hazy right now. Hence the complete lack of anything around us right now.”

Celestia felt a smile slide across her face as she embraced her sister in a hug “Oh thank you for coming Lulu! I could really use somepony to talk to right now. Today’s events had just been so awful!” Luna nodded “Of course you can talk to me, what’s on your mind?” 

Celestia took the time to explain what had happened today as well as what has been going on the past few months including all the added baggage she had been forced to carry thanks to the nobles. “I just wish I could have some time to let loose and blow off some steam,” she finished, looking down glumly. Luna put a hoof to her chin “Well, I cannot help you with the nobles asking about trivial matters, however I can help you get some down time for yourself and ‘blow off some steam’ as you put it,” 

“Really? How?” Celestia asked. Luna simply smiled and lit up her horn, Celestia averted her gaze as there was a blinding flash of light. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself and Luna inside the throne room of the castle. Celestia looked around the empty room confused “I don’t understand how coming to the throne room will help. If anything, this is only bringing back some of the stress.” 

“Oh, we will not be here for long,” Luna said “In order for us to truly let loose and enjoy ourselves we will need to throw caution to the wind and forgo any normalcy. Hence why we are going to grow into giants here and spend the rest of the night enjoying any activities we please around the kingdom!”

“What?! Why?” Celestia asked “what about our poor little subjects? If we become giants, they could get hurt!” 

“Tis is just a dream remember? None of this is really happening. And be honest, don’t you sometimes wish you could just stick it to those infuriating nobles who constantly pester you with silly problems? As Princess Celestia you help them out of the kindness of your heart even if that means you tire yourself out. As Giantlestia you can just ignore their teeny-weeny little problems, stomp on by, and focus on enjoying yourself. And let’s not forget that our dear subjects constantly put us up on pedestals every day, making us seem larger than life. Metaphorically they already see us giants. Here we’ll literally be.”

Celestia sighed “I guess I could give this a try,” 

Luna sat back on her hind legs and clapped her front hooves together happily “Wonderful Tia! Let’s begin. Time to have some fun!”

Luna lit up her horn again and there was another blinding flash of light. As soon as Celestia could see again she felt herself begin to rise. All around her the throne room was beginning to get smaller as she and Luna’s heads began to rise towards the ceiling. 

“Oh, this feels wonderful!” Luna said happily, closing her eyes as she enjoyed the sensation. It almost felt like a massage all over her body. She took a small step back and unknowingly squashed the throne with her hind hoof. 

In a matter of minutes, the two royal sister’s heads burst out of the castle roof with a loud CRUNCH. All the ponies and guards on the streets froze as they watched their currently 100-foot-tall princesses extract themselves from the castle and fall onto the ground in a heap with a small THOOM.

Luna poked her head up “Come on Tia!” She said happily, “Let’s make our way to the edge of Canterlot before we outgrow the entire city!” Luna got up from the ground and observed her surroundings. Buildings were currently at her chest height as she continued to grow, now at 175 feet. 

As Luna took a step forward the ponies in front of her scattered as her hoof came down where a small crowd was just standing. Luna strolled off through the city, rocking the ground with her steps. Behind her Celestia was just getting to her hooves, now currently at 190 feet. She glanced around her, taking in the sight of the ever-shrinking city and citizens around her before setting off after Luna.

Luna meanwhile was relishing every moment as she walked through Canterlot, the buildings now only ankle high. Far below her, ponies fled from her humongous hooves as they stormed through the streets, crushing carts, upturning stands, and leaving behind huge footprints. A little way in front of her however, a small family was trying to make it onto the sidewalk and to safety, but their youngest colt tripped and fell onto his stomach directly in Luna’s path. Luna stopped walking and glanced down, catching sight of the little brown colt struggling to get back into his hooves amidst the rumbling ground.

Luna’s eyes widened in concern as she leaned down, moving her huge muzzle towards the fallen colt. “Are you alright dear?” she asked softly. “Yes, your highness,” came the colt’s squeaky reply.  Luna smiled as she tenderly nosed him back onto his feet and gently nuzzled him off the sidewalk and with his family.

“Thank you, your highness!” the colt called up to Luna as she leaned back up, now completely towering over every building and house. Luna simply smiled and gave the tiny family a wink before continuing her walk to the edge of the city and mountain.

Behind her, Celestia, who was even bigger than Luna, was apologizing frantically as she tried walking through the streets, still not used to her new, and ever-increasing size. 

BOOM!

“Sorry!”

THOOM!

“My apologies!”

CRUNCH!

“Oh dear, I’ll pay for those little ones!”

“Hey, watch it you big oaf!” screeched a tiny voice. Celestia blinked and looked down. Standing below her, in between her front hooves, was the diminutive form of Ever Wealthy. “You crushed my cart you dumb mare! Now who’s going to pay for it?” she hollered. Celestia’s ears flattened “I’m truly sorry Ms. Wealthy. I assure you that I will-”

“I don’t care!” Ever Wealthy cut her off “You better fix this right now or I swear I’m going to be really angry!” Celestia frowned, not pleased at being spoken to like that. She was about to reply politely with a small lecture about how to properly address those in public when she remembered what Luna said earlier in the dream; “As Princess Celestia you help them out of the kindness of your heart even if that means you tire yourself out. As Giantlestia you can just ignore their teeny-weeny little problems, stomp on by, and focus on enjoying yourself.”

Celestia thought back to all the trouble Ever Wealthy always caused her and how she does nothing but brag about how rich and important she was when in reality, all her wealth came from the money she inherited from her father. Celestia looked past Ever Wealthy and to where her large mansion was. A mischievous smirk crossed her face.

“Now hop to it princess and get me my new cart!” the tiny Ever Wealthy said, her eyes closed, and nose raised in the air snootily “It’s not going to pay for itself now will it-”

BOOOM!

Ever Wealthy’s eyes shot open in shock and turned around. There behind her, was Princess Celestia’s humongous hoof, occupying the space where her million-bit mansion was. Wealthy’s jaw dropped as she stared uncomprehendingly at the scene.

Celestia meanwhile put her gigantic hoof to her mouth if faux shock and said “Oh dear, looks like this big dumb mare accidently squashed your teeny tiny little house. Silly me!” With a hearty chuckle Celestia set off after Luna, her hoof leaving a crater behind her where the mansion was.

Celestia finally caught up with Luna, who was standing at the edge of Canterlot, looking down the side of the mountain. The two had grown significantly since they left the castle. The houses now stood no taller than their hooves.

“Ok, Lulu, now what do we do?” Celestia asked. 

“We jump off the edge and onto the ground below. This way we don’t crush the rest of the city and we can finish growing in peace.” Luna said, “After that is done we can finally get started with our night off!” 

Celestia nodded and Luna leapt off, landing on the ground below with an audible BOOM! She stood up completely unharmed. Celestia took a deep breath and stepped off as well. When she landed however, she lost her footing and landed on her rump, with an “Oof!” squishing a few trees beneath her in the process.

Celestia shook her head, getting her bearing. One glance at the mountain yielded the sight of Canterlot slowly coming down to her eye level, on its perch in the side of the mountain. Even when she was sitting down. She and Luna where still growing! “Lulu, how much bigger will we get?” Celestia asked with slight concern, not moving from her spot on the ground.

“Not much longer now I believe!” Luna replied happily. Celestia watched as her head passed the entire height of Canterlot and continue to rise. She and Luna remained growing, becoming bigger and bigger. And the mountain became even smaller. Soon Celestia could barely see the city anymore as she grew so large, the mountain was now even smaller than her cutie mark. Celestia finally rose to her hooves, leaving behind an enormous twin crater. She and Luna towering over the landscape like titans.

“Ohhh my! This feels wonderful!” Luna said happily as she pranced in place, making the ground rumble beneath her, Canterlot mountain bouncing comedically in the air from her stomps. Celestia smiled, she did have to admit it felt great being so big and not have a care in the world. She let out a breath, parting some clouds that where near her head, as she took in the wonderfully fresh air. 

“Come on dear sister! Let us go have our fun!” Luna said. 

“But what about our dear subjects?” asked Celestia concern as she looked around at all the minuscule towns and cities around them, all of which now barely rose up past ground level to the two titans “They’ll be crushed under our gigantic hooves! I don’t wish to harm them!”

“Oh, do not worry about that.” Luna said as she walked around Celestia and stood over Canterlot mountain “They’ll be fine,” she said while raising a hoof. Directly over the mountain. Celestia’s eyes widened in horror “LUNA DON’T!” she yelled but it was too late. Luna slammed her hoof down on top the mountain and squashed it with an audible THOOM!

Celestia covered her mouth with her front hooves and felt tears welling up in her eyes as she watched Luna remove her hoof from the ground leaving behind nothing but her hoofprint “Luna how could you?” she asked quietly. 

Luna looked at her and pointed down to her hoofprint “They’re fine. See?” Celestia wiped the tears from her eyes and slowly walked over to where the tiny mountain used to be. She lowered her great head towards the print and was just able to make out hundreds of minuscule, multicolored specks stirring on the ground. All the ponies in Canterlot were completely safe.

The ponies looked up in awe as they beheld the monolithic muzzle of their ruler hovering above them. A few ponies raised their hooves to their mouth and tried calling out to their colossal princess, chanting that they were ok. A smile broke out across Celestia’s face as she heard that. Celestia lowered her muzzle a bit more and lovingly nuzzled her bug sized subjects. Relieved they were unharmed. Her ears twitched as she faintly made out more of what they were saying. She felt her heart flutter as she heard them tell her to enjoy her night off and to have lots of fun.

“Thank you, dears. I certainly will.” Celestia said softly as she rose back to her full height again. “See? I told you they’d be fine,” Luna said, “Though some mountains and cities may fall under hoof during our time off, the important thing is our subjects will be perfectly safe as we go about our fun.” Celestia nodded, happy that none of her or her sister’s little ponies will be put in harm’s way. “Now enough of this idle talk! Where should we go first Tia?” Luna asked, walking up to Celestia. Celestia thought for a second “Well, I haven’t been to the beach in quite some time. Let us start there first.”

Luna nodded “Excellent! Now let us be off! A fun day at the beach awaits!” she said ecstatically. The gigantic moon princess turned around and set off towards the beach, stomping her enormous hooves as she went. The world trembling with each step.

“Fee, Fi, Foe, Fum!”

“Lulu!”

“What? I’m just getting into character!”
> Chapter 2- A GIANT beach day
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The many beaches of Equestria were always such a sight to behold, it practically looked like something out of a picture book. Sprawling white sands, clear blue oceans, and plenty of ponies playing around by land or by sea. They were all really enjoying the bright sunny day, ponies of different ages were building sandcastles, reading under umbrellas, grilling vegetables, swimming in the ocean, and sunbathing. All and all, a perfect day. 

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

One pony took off their sunglasses in shock as the ground began the shudder around them, jostling everypony about. They all suddenly found themselves in a shadow as the sun was obstructed by something. “Look up there!” Somepony cried out, pointing up into the sky. High above them, looming in the sky, a gargantuan golden hoof shoe was casually stepping over a mountain, and moving downwards towards the beach, seemingly unaware of the several dozens of ponies scattered around on the sand, trying to get out of the hoof’s immense shadow as it descended onto the beach.

THOOOOM!!

Every pony on the beach was bounced up into the air as the hoof slammed down, displacing sand before it swiftly took another step and flew into the ocean. Just as the ponies shakily got to their feet, they were treated to round two of the world shaking around them.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The same pony with the sunglasses pointed up again as now the sky was now replaced with a gray metallic shoe. And falling. The ponies scurried out of the way again just in time as the giant stepped down with another earth shattering BOOOM!! Before lifting its hoof and stepping into the ocean.





Celestia giggled softly as she carefully stepped over another mountain while she and Luna passed through the flat (to them) landscape. She had to admit, she was beginning to love her newfound size. “It really makes traversing the country much easier,” she playfully thought with a goofy grin on her face as she strode by a city. The whole thing about the size of a plate with inch sized buildings. Growing to the size of a titan had been a little jarring at first but after she had gotten used to the feel of it, along with the fact she couldn’t do any harm to innocent ponies, Celestia really began to enjoy her newfound sense of freedom. Celestia spied the beach in front of her and quickened her pace, with Luna right behind her, a giddy feeling beginning to settle in her as she saw the ocean for the first time in years after being confined to the castle for so long. In her haste to get there she didn’t notice her subjects already on the small sliver of sand as she stomped by, the bug sized ponies trying to scurry out of the way of Celestia’s massive foot.

Celestia walked into the ocean, taking off her shoes as she went further into the water, and carelessly tossed them aside and onto the shore. Celestia closed her eyes with a smile and took a deep breath as she soaked in the feeling of the cool waves hitting her hooves. It had been years since she felt this relaxed. She moved further out into the deeper parts of the ocean and lowered herself onto her belly, letting herself float on the surface like a giant pony-duck. 

Celestia heard a giggle behind her. She opened her eyes and turned around, catching sight of Luna removing her last shoe and tossing it over her shoulder and onto the beach with her hoof. 

“Enjoying yourself Tia? It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen you look this relaxed,” she remarked as she joined Celestia in the water, sighing contently. 

Celestia nodded happily “Oh it’s been so long! I almost forgot what this felt like. The cool air, the sea breeze, and the peacefulness of it all,” she said. Both Celestia and Luna looked down as a flock of miniature seagulls flew by, no higher than their bellies as both mares literally had their head in the clouds.

“I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself Tia,” said Luna “Though I hope you remember what comes next at a beach vacation.” Celestia cocked her head to the side as she silently inquired to Luna what. Luna smiled “We play of course!” she said clapping her hooves together as she shot a beam of magic form her horn and into the air. With a POP a beach ball materialized into existence and landed with a SPLOSH onto the water. To the two titanic princesses the beach ball was the size of a normal ball, however to the average pony, said ball was a huge as a city.

A grin split across Celestia’s face as she grabbed the ball and bounced it towards Luna, who was waiting for it a little way away. The two sisters bounced the ball from one to the other happily as they began a game, trying to keep the ball from falling into the ocean for as long as they can.





Back on the beach, the ponies there looked out across the ocean in awe as they beheld the two monumental forms of their rulers playing around like two giant fillies, bouncing around a city sized beach ball from one to the other. On the sand, some fillies and colts were playing around at Celestia and Luna’s mountainous shoes the two had left discarded, trying the climb up the smooth metal while others got into the actual inside of it, surprised to find it was cushioned. Other beachgoers on the other hand were playing around the gigantic crater that was Celestia’s hoofprint when she had walked by. Foals (with their parents’ supervision) were building sandcastles with the newly displaced sand Celestia’s step had spread while other ponies climbed down to the bottom of the massive hoofprint and explored it. Some finding exquisite seashells, others finding some beautiful coral, and one lucky stallion even found some rare antique coins.

Just as the ponies began to collect their findings, their heard Luna’s voice booming from across the water “Oh that was fun Tia! It reminded me so much of when we were foals playing at the beach with mother and father!” 

“I’m happy you enjoyed Lulu,” Celestia’s voice thundered “I must admit I felt nostalgic when we were playing.” Ponies watched as Luna magicked the beach ball out of existence before turning to Celestia. 

“And I’m sure you remember what we always used to get after a long day at the beach?” Luna asked. Celestia giggled and lit up her horn. Suddenly two enormous ice-cream cones appeared in front of the two royal sisters. A delicious minty chocolate chip for Luna and a lovely strawberry with hot fudge for Celestia. The two giants took their respective treats in their magic and started to head back to the beach. 

On the way back, Celestia and Luna noticed that their movements were churning up the ocean and sending waves the size of office buildings towards the shore, and more importantly, towards their little subjects on the beach. Their eyes widened in concern, after one quick glance at each other they lit their horns again and quickly made a barrier around the beach, the waves hitting off it harmlessly. 

The ponies cheered for their two princesses as they finally made it onto the beach. The beachgoers rushed out of the way of their humongous hooves once again, trying not to get flattened. Celestia quickly took the lead, stepping off the beach and onto the grassy fields just behind and took a seat, carful to not disrupt the little ones. Luna followed suite, also taking care to not disrupt the ponies on the beach. The two rulers sat happily on the ground, enjoying their frozen treats, and watched as the beachgoers ran as fast as they could up to their hooves, trying to get their attention while jumping up and down, waving their arms above their heads.

Luna smiled softly and unfurled one of her wings from her side and very gently, scooped up a crowd of ponies off the ground in front of her and held them up to her eye level. Celestia leaned in curiously and they could just barely make out dozens of high pitched, squeaky voices. 

The ponies were pretty intimidated at first, seeing Luna’s massive blue eye take up their entire field of vision, but after a few comforting words from her, they shouted up to the two princesses looming high above them a heartfelt thank you for visiting the beach on their day off and getting to see them. They were glad they got to enjoy themselves and hoped they continued to enjoy the rest of their day. Celestia and Luna’s hearts melted at these kind words from their subjects and proceeded to bombard the little ones with nuzzles from their humongous snoots.

Celestia giggled as she withdrew her muzzle from the tiny crowd resting safely on Luna’s wing and tossed the rest of her ice-cream cone into her mouth, chewing on the remains before swallowing. “Well Lulu, I think it’s time we get going and move onto the next activity,” she said. Luna nodded, while licking off the remaining crumbs off her muzzle. 

“Agreed sister, but before we go, how about we give these precious little ones a proper farewell?” she asked as she smiled down at the ponies she was holding. Celestia grinned and scooped up the remaining ponies by her hooves and held them snugly in her wing “Waterslide time my little ponies!” the titanic sun princess boomed. Luna burst out laughing cheerfully as the two giants stomped up to the edge of the beach, in front of the ocean.

Celestia and Luna arched their wings down carefully and watched with joyful smiles on their faces as their itty-bitty subjects cheered, sliding down their massive wings, and into the cool ocean water. When the last ponies popped up to the surface, they looked up at their two gigantic princesses towering above them, waving down to them. With one last smile and wave, Celestia and Luna turned around and headed off, several more earthquakes causing the ground to tremble, as they went to start their next activity.
> Chapter 3- A GIANT game
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

A lone stallion panted with exhaustion as he continued to scale up the side of a mountain. He was determined to make it to the top. After all, this had been his goal for the summer. The stallion paused as he took a break, wiping some sweat off his brow as he took a water bottle from his pack and took a large gulp from it. A few minutes passed by as the stallion collected his thoughts and rested his sore muscles before starting back up again. “Almost there,” He thought “Just a few hundred more feet.” Seconds turned into minutes and minutes turned into even longer minutes before, after long last, he finally made it to the top. “Finally!” the stallion thought relieved, plopping down from exhaustion, a satisfied smile on his muzzle “Climb a 3000-foot-tall mountain, check.” 

The stallion shakily got back onto his hooves and looked around, taking in the view “It’s so beautiful, it’s not every day you get to see the kingdom from this high up.” The stallion reached into his bag again and took out a camera. He smiled to himself and began to take pictures of the view. “This is insane,” he thought “to be so high up, and see almost everything. I don’t think it can get any better than this.” Well, as we all know, never tempt fate because it will never miss an opportunity to mess with you. And unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), there is someone out there with a much better view of Equestria than our stallion has. And it looks like he’s going to meet them right now. 

The stallion fell to the ground as everything around him, even the mountain, began to shake. Thunderous THOOMS reverberated through the air. “What’s going on here? Is this some massive earthquake?” he silently wondered as he clung to the rumbling ground. The stallion looked around, trying to make heads or tails of the situation, then felt his mouth drop. Out over the horizion, a huge golden structure was rising into the sky, followed by the rest of it, revealing it was a massive crown, and the head the crown was on. The stallion’s jaw somehow managed to drop even further as he fully grasped what, or rather who he was looking at. Walking over entire cities, towns, and mountains was none other than Princess Celestia herself, in all her humongous glory.





Celestia had her eyes trained on the ground as she stepped over another teeny town, no bigger than one of the jewels on her crown. After the visit to the beach, she and Luna had started to head inland, trying to find enough open space for their next fun activity. Which admittedly was a little difficult considering the two giants were larger than mountains and had to constantly watch their step for little cities and even smaller towns. While they were searching however, they discovered that they had grown even larger than before. Luna speculated that it was because they were having so much fun. The more fun they had, the larger they would get.

Celestia stopped and looked around thoughtfully, observing her surroundings as she towered high over them. Whatever she was looking for seemed to be in this area, seemingly satisfied, the colossal monarch nodded her head with a smile. “Lulu, this place seems perfect! There are hardly any towns and cities around here, so we do not need to worry too much about squishing them. I’ll get started with setting up-” Celestia cut herself off as she just noticed that her sister was nowhere to be found. 

“Lulu? Where are you?” Celestia called out, looking around. 

“Just a second sister, I’ll be there in a moment!” came Luna’s reply. Celestia turned around behind her and found Luna kneeling on the ground conversing with the little denizens of the town she had just stepped over. Luna was poking her snout towards the quarter-millimeter tall houses and Celestia was able to make out several little dots crowding around it. Luna was trying to gently coax the tiny fillies and colts into coming closer. Celestia stifled a giggle behind a hoof as she slowly made her way over, trying to step lightly, as she kneeled in front of the town as well. “The poor things were so frightened when we walked by,” Luna said softly, now rubbing her muzzle gently against the tiny foals “I just stopped to make sure they were alright.” Celestia lowered her muzzle down towards the little town as well, calming the startled miniscule residents and murmuring comforting words to them. 

The timid denizens came out of their home, gazing up in shock at their princesses, looming above their entire town. It wasn’t long before they started cheering for them, their previous fear now gone. Beaming, the two titans stood back up, happy to put the minds of their little subjects at ease. Stepping over the town again, Celestia and Luna made their way to the clearing Celestia was looking at earlier. “Ok Tia, what activity do you want to do here?” Luna asked, gazing around at the mostly green, barren land. Save for a few cities spread sparsely around. 

Celestia simply grinned and lit up her horn, Luna averted her eyes as there was a blinding flash. When she opened them, she saw the Celestia had conjured up an enormous tennis net, spanning for miles across the country. The poles of the net were engrained deeply into the earth, with small (to them) cracks around the impact zone. Exposing the brown dirt underneath. “We’re going to play tennis! It’s been so long since I’ve played and I really want to stretch these bad girls again,” Celestia said happily as she flexed her arm muscles. There was another flash of light as two rackets, super-sized for the princesses, appeared in front of them.

Luna grasped hers and gave it a few test swings, the displaced air from the swings clearing tons of clouds as she did so. Her racket had a deep midnight blue frame with an indigo handle. The wires in the frame were purple and formed a picture of her moon cutie mark in the center. Celestia’s racket had a yellow frame with a white handle. The wires in the frame were also white and formed her sun cutie mark in its center. Luna made her way to the other side of the net, the world shuddering as she walked, residents in a nearby city watched awestruck as her gargantuan hooves filled the entire sky as she stepped over the city. Luna took off her shoes and crown and left them neatly near one of the net’s poles, Celestia doing the same at the other end. “Tia, where is the ball? We have all the equipment except for that,” Luna said, now standing in the center on the other side of the net.

Celestia gave a bashful smile, rubbing the back of her head with a hoof “Well, I have an idea I want to try…” she said trailing off, looking behind her at the ground. Luna raised an eyebrow. “I want to try making our own ball, and I think I know just how to do it.” Celestia set her racket on the ground (careful to avoid any residential areas) and turned around, stomping up to a little mountain, just barely as tall as her hoof. Celestia unfurled one of her wings from her side and lowered it slowly towards the ground, carving it deep into the dirt easily like it was pudding before curling it up again. Celestia tore the mountain out of the earth, leaving a gigantic crater at her feet, bits of dirt falling from the chunk of land and rock she held in her wing as she raised it into the sky and towards her face. 





The lone stallion watched in awe as the titan sized Celestia began to saunter slowly in his direction, each one of her colossal steps jostled the world with a tremendous THOOOOM! The stallion buried his head in between his hooves as he hugged the ground, trying to stabilize himself from the shaking as Celestia walked. Suddenly the shaking stopped, cautiously the stallion raised his head and looked around. Only for his jaw to drop again. 

Towering high above him was princess Celestia, chills ran down his spine as he realized that the entire mountain he was perched on, was as big as a single one of her hooves. The rest of the titanic ruler rose past the clouds and high into the sky. The stallion let out an “Eep!” as he watched Celestia lower one of her mighty wings towards the mountain he was on. There was a RUMMMBLE as said wing dug into the very crust of the earth. The stallion clung to the ground as a BOOM! reverberated through the air. He began to feel himself and the mountain rise into the sky. Looking upward he watched as the clear blue sky was replaced with the piercing gaze of Princess Celestia’s gargantuan purple eye gazing down at the mountain and him.





Celestia held the puny mountain to her eye as she examined it, soaking in its details. There were adorable tiny trees sprinkled around sparingly on the dull gray rock. The mountain itself seemed mostly intact from when she lifted it out of the ground. “Hmmmm,” Celestia said to herself as she continued to look it over. “I believe this will work,” she thought. Then something caught her eye. A little fleck of blue clashing against the gray color scheme. “That’s odd,” Celestia thought as she squinted, bringing the mountain a little closer to her eye as she got a better look. Her eyes widened a little as she was just able to make out a speck sized stallion cowering down among the rocks. 

“Goodness!” Celestia boomed “I didn’t realize anypony was climbing this tiny rock. Are you alright my very little pony? The mite sized stallion slowly nodded his head. “Wonderful! Now, I was wondering, would you be so kind as to let me use this mountain dear?” Celestia asked, her gaze still on the stallion. The stallion silently nodded again still dumbfounded by the fact that he was currently on top a mountain that was being held in his princess’ wing. Who herself was standing at an immeasurable size, clouds floating past her chest, and was simply gazing down at him. It was all pretty overwhelming. Celestia smiled (though that went unnoticed by the stallion) “Excellent! I’ll just drop you off at the nearest town sweetie,” she rumbled. Celestia held out her hoof and turned the mountain upside down over it. She gave it a little shake and watched the tiny blue speck fall into the frog of her hoof. 

The stallion shakily got to his hooves, trying to stand on Celestia’s upturned hoof. Falling onto it was like falling onto the world’s most comfortable, soft, squishy, and fluffy bed. The underside of Celestia's hoof positively radiated a comfortable heat. Celestia was so gigantic that her hoof alone seemed to stretch on for miles, practically a landscape itself for one as small as the blue stallion. Celestia smiled warmly down at her catch as she made her way over to the closest city, which was one step away for her. She lowered her enormous hoof down to the edge of the city and watched as the stallion slid down her hoof and onto the ground. “Have fun dear!” Celestia said with a small chuckle and a wink as she made her way back to the net where Luna was waiting for her. 

"So, what exactly was your plan for the mountain Tia?” Luna asked. 

“I’m going to make a tennis ball out of it,” Celestia replied, holding the mountain in front of her on her wing. With a single smooth motion, she curled the tips of her wing backwards and crushed the mountain. Completely reducing it to rubble. With the aid of her magic Celestia worked on reshaping the rocky crumbs into a ball. It quickly came together, and with a final zap the entire mountain had changed into a mountain sized tennis ball, which Celestia had to make a little bigger so it looked proportionally like a tennis ball to them. With a smirk she picked up her racket and looked at Luna “Shall we play?”





The ponies in the nearby cities watched as their two colossal princesses began a giant game of tennis. Celestia started out serving the ball, hitting it to Luna, who knocked it back with ease. Ponies were entranced as they watched these two titans play their game, hearing the wind whooshing by as they swung their massive rackets and the thunderous booms that echoed in the air when the gigantic green tennis ball struck the wires on the racket and sent back over the net. But what really had many nervous were the titanic players themselves. When Celestia hit the ball over to the left of Luna’s side of the net, residents in the nearby town watched fearfully as Luna’s gargantuan blue hooves thundered towards them getting closer and closer to the town, the ground shaking wildly with each one of her powerful steps when suddenly, she stopped just outside the town, her hoof looming high above it as Luna herself whacked the ball back over the net. The town barely avoided being squashed unknowingly by the moon princess.

On Celestia’s side of the net, the minuscule denizens had to deal with the movements of the even larger sun princess, as she stormed back and forth across the land, deflecting the ball and knocking it back over the net. Residents in a city also had a very close call with the gigantic monarch. After Celestia had served the ball back to Luna she had started to take a few steps back. The citizens in the nearby city gazed up nervously as Celestia’s shadow fell over them, the princess completely oblivious to them, her hind hooves getting closer before it seemingly rose above the city. Celestia brought down her immense hoof and to their great luck, it just missed them, the alabaster pillar of white stretching far into the sky just outside the city.

“Foul!” Celestia called out as the ball was launched to the left, out of bounds by Luna. The tennis ball hit the ground with echoing THUD and began to roll towards a city. In the city ponies stopped what they were doing and watched as the gigantic tennis ball, towering over even the biggest buildings, roll towards them. Panic broke out in the streets as the mite sized ponies ran for cover, trying to get out of the asteroid sized ball’s path. The ground began to shake again as a shadow fell over the city. A few ponies who were not running watched as Celestia’s huge white hoof descend from the sky and onto the ball halting its movement. Her wing came down from the heavens next and slowly grasped the ball in its wing tips before lifting it into the air and into the sky. The ponies cheered as Celestia turned around and walked back to the net to resume.

It went on for this for quite some time, both titans passing the ball back and forth while the citizens tried their best not to get flattened by their ruler’s city sized hooves. Eventually both Celestia and Luna called it quits, the two of them sitting on their rumps, panting from exhaustion. Celestia wiped sweat off her forehead, grinning ecstatically “Now THAT is what I call a workout!” she exclaimed, while magicking their rackets, ball, and the net away. 

Luna snickered as she caught her breath “Agreed sister. I have not played a good game like that in a while. It was quite fun.” Celestia stood up and stretched, getting out all the kinks in her muscles. She then strolled over to her discarded crown and put it back on but magicking away her shoes as well. Luna doing the same “It’s a shame we had to stop though, it seems like my blood finally got pumped up. I feel like I can run a mile!” Luna said ecstatically. 

Celestia laughed “I feel the same Lulu,” She said, “Maybe we-” Celestia broke off as she and Luna began to feel a tingling sensation throughout their bodies. A yellow glow surrounded Celestia, and a blue glow surrounded Luna. And slowly they began to grow even more, the two titans rising further into the sky. After the tingling stopped Celestia opened her eyes and observed her new surroundings. Mountains were now only a fraction higher then ground level at her hooves, cities and town however were practically indistinguishable from the flat terrain. Buildings no longer poking up from the ground from the princess’ perspective. Celestia swore she could even make out a bit of the planet’s curvature over the horizon. She took an earth-shattering step forward and inspected one of the cities by her hooves, smirking a bit by how tiny it now was. She lifted her hoof and positioned it directly above the city, comparing its size. If she set her hoof down on the city, it would be completely engulfed, with plenty room to spare.

Celestia turned back to Luna who was watching her silently “I still feel pretty energized from our game and from our last growth spurt. What do you say we work it off and go for a little jog? Around the world?” 

Celestia watched as a grin began to split across Luna’s face “That sounds like fun Tia.”
> Chapter 4- A GIANT world tour
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Distant quakes shaking the castle is what awoke Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadance. The two rubbing the sleep from their eyes as they stumbled out of bed, hastily putting on robes, and dashing out towards the balcony as they tried to figure out what in the world was going on. The shaking becoming stronger, accompanied by faint BOOMS! The couple first thought it was an earthquake of some kind, only for Shining to point out that the shaking was in sequence, almost rhythmic in nature. As Shining said those words an unsettling feeling began to creep into Cadance’s stomach. If the quakes were rhythmic, could they be…hoofsteps? A guard called for their attention, pointing skywards. The royal couple looked up. 

And felt their jaws drop to the floor. 

Filling up the entire horizon, rising into the sky like the sunrise itself, was their giga sized aunt, Princess Celestia. Her size uncomprehendingly big as her head, neck and torso continued to climb higher and higher into the air, out of their field of vision. Soon they were able to make out her legs rising in the skyline as she jogged over her kingdom, their other similarly sized aunt, Princess Luna right behind her. They watched helplessly on the trembling ground as their massive aunts jogged forward, their slightly blurry images in the sky becoming even greater in scale before Celestia’s vast white hoof lifted again as she took another step, it filled the entire sky and began to lower itself. 

Right over the Crystal empire. 

Shining and Cadance practically hung off their balcony as they frantically shouted up at the slowly darkening sky, trying to get Celestia’s attention, but it was no good. She was simply too big. Celestia’s hoof came down with a tremendous THOOOM! Completely flattening the empire.





Crunch 

“Oopsie! I think I just stepped on something,” Celestia giggled, the giga sized mare sticking out her tongue slightly with a playful expression on her face. She lifted her great hoof off the ground, out of the multi-mile long crater it had produced, and leaded down to examine whichever poor city was unfortunate enough to be in her jogging path. Far down below her were a few remains of scattered pieces of wood, stone, and crystal. Using her extremely magnified powers Celestia was able to make out the mite sized ponies stumbling around, dazed from being stepped on by the gargantuan princess. And among the crowd were her own, nearly microscopic, niece and nephew. 

Celestia’s chuckles rumbled the ground and air around the minuscule ponies. Shining and Cadance shook their heads to clear it and gazed up at the sky, seeing their aunt lifting her immense head back into the air as she stood up, towering over them in the sky. 

“Sorry about that you two!” Celestia’s voice boomed out as she raised a hoof again to continue her jog. Her hoof landed next to her hoofprint crater, bouncing the little ponies into the air, as she continued her workout, Luna right behind her. 

The two continued their romp across Equestrian, more tremors shaking the kingdom, and some cracks starting to form where Celestia and Luna stepped down, breaking into Equis’ crust. Entire fields disappeared underfoot as they passed by, their steps sometimes ripping out pieces of the earth, leaving behind nothing more than upturned dirt. Eventually the two titanic sisters found themselves back to where it all started, Canterlot mountain. Or rather what was left of it after Luna had stepped on it. Luna slowed down her jog as she came to a stop above the now mini crater, panting slightly as she wiped sweat from her forehead.

She leaned down to the hole in the ground curiously, as if looking for something. A gentle smile broke out across Luna’s face as she spotted the, now even smaller, ponies from Canterlot, still perfectly safe inside her footprint. The ponies pointed up with smiles as they recognized the familiar face in the sky, happily gathering around Luna’s muzzle as she lowered it towards them, giving them giant moon princess cuddles. 

Celestia meanwhile had left Luna to her devices as she continued her stroll, a spring in her step as she savored her even greater size, power, and freedom. It felt wonderful, almost a giddy feeling in her stomach, filling her with excitement. Celestia then spotted something glinting on the ground in front of her, quickly squinting she tried to make out what it was. Her face lit up as she identified it as Ponyville, now no smaller than a little spot on the ground. A mischievous smirk crossed her face as she began to slowly saunter towards the tiny town, making sure the citizens could feel every impact of her slow, deliberate footsteps. Celestia placed her hooves on either side of the small-scaled town, towering high above it. On the ground ponies were running around in a bit of a frenzy as they dashed into their homes, some yelling about retribution for forgetting their taxes for some reason. 

Celestia scanned the town, looking for something, or rather, somepony in particular. She brought a hoof to her mouth and stifled a giggle as she located two purple specks by her hooves. 

“Hi Twilight! Hello Spike! How’s the weather down there?” Celestia teasingly called down to them. Tears of mirth then threatened to fall as she watch them both faint in shock, at the sheer incomprehensiveness of the situation. A quick flash of her magic teleported them safely back home to their library and into their beds. Chortling, Celestia stepped over Ponyville and looked around, trying to decide where to go and visit next. 

“Tia!” Celestia turned around and beheld Luna as she jogged up to her. 

“Did you enjoy talking to the ponies in Canterlot Lulu?” she asked. 

Luna nodded happily, prancing slightly “Oh they were so pleased to see me again! They were happy that we’re enjoying our time off. You should have seen it Tia, they were so adorable!” she squealed. Celestia smiled and opened her mouth to reply, but stopped, as the two heard another tiny crunch. Luna stopped bouncing and looked around at the ground, a faint blush forming at her cheeks as she lifted her rear hoof.

Celestia smirked “I believe you accidently stepped on Ponyville Lulu,” she remarked as she watched Luna peel away some debris of the town that clung to the bottom of her hoof, along with some dust sized ponies that got stuck there. Luna simply dropped them back into her hoofprint, along with the rest of Ponyville. 

Luna stuck out her tongue playfully at Celestia “it was an accident! I didn’t notice such a tiny town near me!” She defended, stepping away from the crater. 

Chuckling at her sister’s antics, Celestia turned around, gazing out at the horizon, the smile slowly fading as she pondered her next words “I’ve been thinking, you know how whenever we’re at meetings with certain delegates from other kingdoms how impolite they normally are? They strut in, act like they own the place, and place outrageous demands on us with barely anything to return. Not to mention how rude they always act to the staff and to us.” 

Luna raised an eyebrow “Are you referring to the minotaur’s and griffins?” She asked. 

Celestia nodded “Why don’t we go pay them a visit and let them know just how we feel about that,”

Luna looked hesitant “I don’t know Tia, this may be needlessly cruel,” she said. Celestia rolled her eyes “Come on Lulu! You didn’t bat an eye when we crushed the Crystal Empire and Ponyville. How is this any different?” She asked. 

“Because those were accidents! You didn’t see the Empire when you were jogging, and I didn’t notice Ponyville was near my foot when I was telling you about Canterlot. Now we are actively seeking to go scare others. This may be a dream Tia, but this still is not a good mindset to get into!” Luna exclaimed. 

Celestia dismissively waved a hoof “Phooey, it’ll be fine. I’m still going to go and have my fun. Coming?” she asked. Luna sighed “Very well, I’ll accompany you.”

“That’s the spirit Luna!” Celestia said “Let’s go!”





The two had picked up their jogging pace again as they resumed storming across the land, and in no time making it to the griffon empire. A smirk plainly present on Celestia’s face, she strode on forward and brought a heavy hoof down next to where the capitol was, giving it a good tremor. “Hi down there Grifon,” Celestia boomed, addressing the king “I have a few complaints I’d like to bring to you personally about you and your delegate’s behavior.” Celestia tried to hold in her laughter as hundreds of tiny griffon flecks poured out of the castle and tried to fly towards her, little spears in their talons. Celestia simply took a breath and released it, scattering the forces in seconds. 

Giggling like a filly, Celestia lit up her horn and a golden glow surrounded the griffon empire. There was a rumbling noise as the whole empire began to rise out of the ground, the entire domain on a portion of earth the giga sized sun princess had effortlessly plucked out of the ground like it was a weed. Celestia raised the empire to her face, looming over it, her face darkened by the sun behind her “Now really young king, you should learn to treat your elders properly. Didn’t your parents raise you better? Looks like somepony will have to discipline you.” Ignoring the tiny high pitched indigent squeaks coming from the little empire, Celestia simply levitated it a bit lower before turning around. 

And promptly hip-checked it.

The whole mass of griffon empire exploded in a shower of dirt, dust, infinitesimal buildings, and fell to the ground after getting hit by Celestia’s gargantuan twin suns. The princess herself scanned the mounds of uprooted soil after it had settled before lighting her horn once more. This time the glow surrounded one single extremely tiny individual, Celestia plucked up the little King in her magic and lifted him to her eyes, sternly looking down at him like a disappointed parent “Now you listen here young cockerel, act better in the future. No more of that high and mighty nonsense in my castle when you come to negotiate, or you’ll be getting another visit from big ol’ me.” With a huff, Celestia stuck her nose into the air and flicked the little griffon king away with her magic. Grifon fell flailing into a lake and resurfaced. Only to just barely avoid being stepped on by Celestia’s colossal foot as she strode past Luna, who had been watching the whole thing unfold from the sidelines. “Come on Luna! There’s still one more who needs to be paid a visit.”

Luna began to follow Celestia, but stopped briefly, looking back at the remains of the griffon empire. The teenage king was staring back at the two colossal sisters with terrified eyes. Luna’s gaze softened and a small frown swam across her face before she turned around, jogging after her sister.





Celestia marched on ahead, no longer was there a playful smile on her face or a mirthful twinkle in her. Her expression seemed to be etched in stone as the giant stepped over another cluster of mountains. Luna jogged up next to Celestia “Tia, perhaps you’re taking things a little too far, this may be a dream but there is still no reason to be acting like this.” “Yeah well, this sure does make me feel much better,” Celestia replied, not taking her eyes off the path in front of her “If I can’t deal with their annoying presence in the meeting rooms then I’ll just do it here,” Luna said nothing as Celestia stomped forward, the minotaur kingdom coming into view.

Panic began to set into the populace as Celestia’s vast shadow fell over the kingdom, the princess herself staring down at the frightened creatures with narrowed eyes. “Chief Adonis!” Celestia shouted down to the little structures by her foot “Come out here this instant!” The two sisters watched as a little gray dot marched as fast as he could (which was really quite slow to them) up to Celestia's mountain sized hooves. 

Chief Adonis then proceeded to shout warnings and challenges up to her. Well, that is what Luna assumed because all she could hear were squeaks. “Credit where credit is due,” she thought “Those are the most threatening squeaks I have ever heard.”

Celestia however looked less than impressed, with narrowed eyes, she simply raised her hoof, the back anchoring on the ground, and raised it above the chief. “Not so tough now, huh loudmouth?” she muttered before casually stepping down. When she removed her hoof, Chief Adonis laid sprawled in the print, dazed. If you looked closely enough you could even see mini Celestia’s running in circles around his head. Smirking victoriously, Celestia raised her head and pumped her hoof in the air. “Ha! Take that!” she bragged, sweeping away Adonis and most of the kingdom with one swipe of her hoof, leaving behind a brown streak of churned up dirt, cracking up from the ground. 

“Ooh,” a familiar yellow glow suddenly surrounded Celestia again as she began to rise. Growing even greater than before. Luna looked up at her, no glow surrounding her, however. 

Celestia smirked as she observed the world grow even smaller around her, already having an idea of what game to play next.
> Chapter 5- A GIANT Epiphany
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

A lone little colt sat on a hill, telescope in front of him, and sketchbook in hoof. He poked his little nose towards the scope and looked through, towards the night sky. He frowned, seeing nothing initially, only a blank white sky, so he wiped the glass before trying again. This time hoping for a different result, only for that to not be the case. 

“That’s weird,” he thought, pulling his muzzle back and looked up at the sky, pouting sadly “Why can’t I see any stars? And why is the sky so white? I don’t remember mommy and daddy saying it was going to be cloudy tonight. Awww, I really wanted to sketch constellations tonight.” 

The white sky on the other hand had other ideas. As the colt continued to look up, hoping for the supposed “cloud” to move, his annoyance changed into horror as he watched the sky split open, great masses of white moving up and down, revealing a glowing purple eye. An eye so large it seemingly replaced the entire night sky, staring down at the world below it. Watching. Judging.

The young little colt wasted no time sprinting back to his house at the bottom of the hill, squealing in terror. Telescope and sketchbook left behind, forgotten in his panic.





Celestia giggled as she floated in space, the entire world of Equis held in her grasp, which she was observing, taking in all the little details of the adorable little rock she called home.

“Tia?” asked a voice. Celestia looked over and saw Luna, who was now proportionally large, floating close by. She had resorted to using dream magic to catch up with Celestia’s explosive growth spurt. 

“Is it my turn?” Celestia asked. Luna nodded as she watched Celestia let go of Equis, letting it float by her chest as she turned her attention to her front. Between the two of them were a manner of little planets scattered around. Celestia and Luna were now so large, entire worlds were now no bigger than stones. Celestia had remarked they looked like little marbles now, and that is when she had gotten the idea to play the game with Luna, with the planets as the marbles.

Celestia flicked a little red planet towards Luna’s gray one and watched as they made contact, the gray being hit away. “Direct hit!” Celestia cheered, Luna however began eyeing up the setup, trying to find a way to counter. While she did that, Celestia grabbed Equis, which was still floating next to her, and went back to examining it. At such a mighty height, her magic had increased tremendously, which allowed her to cast a spell on her eyes and let her see onto the planet herself.

But as she did that, Celestia began to think, the reality of the situation really began to settle in. She and Luna where currently the largest and most powerful beings alive, so big and powerful they were, that entire worlds had been reduced to tiny orbs hanging around in space. Something they could flick around for their own amusement. Celestia held Equis up to her eye again, looking down at all the little creatures who were now completely at her mercy. All she had to do was simply squeeze her hoof and the planet would shatter. But it didn’t matter right? This was just a dream, there were no consequences to this.

Celestia slowly lowered her hoof, eyes looking down as her ears flattened themselves against her head “That doesn’t make it right though,” she thought, her mind flashing back to what Luna had said before “This may be a dream Tia, but this still is not a good mindset to get into!” Celestia blinked as the words echoed in her head. She looked back down at the small, fragile planet, with even smaller lives in her grasp, living on the rock.

So tiny…

Helpless…

Luna looked up from her game calculations, to see Celestia slowly raising Equis to her mouth. “Tia, what are you doing?” Luna asked with alarm. The gargantuan sun princess said nothing as she held the world up to her face.

And began to tenderly nuzzle it, a motherly smile on her face.

“I shall not do it again Lulu,” Celestia said quietly as she held the little planet close to her chest, looking at Luna with big mournful eyes.

Luna stared at her, expressionless “Explain, sister,” she said.

“I have been foolish during our time off,” said Celestia “I may have had fun, but in the end that fun turned into something else, something harmful and wrong.”

Celestia held out Equis and released it, letting it float between herself and Luna “Right there, on that little planet, are millions of lives, voicing hopes and dreams of their own. Voices I am ashamed to say, I have become deaf to lately. As a Princess it is my duty to respect and hear the problems of our subjects, but after dealing with the petty problems of the nobility for so long, I began to see all our subjects in that same light. Grouping all in that same disinterested bubble I had classified the nobility as. This was a mistake I shall not do again. All their voices matter, no matter how insignificant or small it may seem. As princess Celestia, I will always continue to love and support my little ponies and all other creatures because they come to us for help, and I have always been glad to give it to them. I will not let a few bad weeks deter me from what really matters!”

Celestia finished her speech, a fiery passion ablaze in her chest for the first time in weeks, as she reignited her passion to love and protect all living creatures for as long as she is princess. After dealing with the nobility’s petty problems for so long she had nearly lost sight of that.

Luna’s incalculable face continued to stare at Celestia, before she closed her eyes, a gentle smile began to cross her features.

“You finally got it Tia,” Luna said, opening her eyes, still maintaining her smile.

“Huh? What do you mean Luna?” 

“That was the point of all this,” Luna explained as she gestured around to the space around them and the tiny planets floating between them. “The whole point of us growing into giants wasn’t just to give you a day off, but for you to rekindle your everlasting love and care for all creature who come to seek your aid.”

Celestia looked confused “I do not understand, what does becoming a giant have to do with how I feel about others?” she asked.

“Allow me to explain, do you remember when I said ‘As Princess Celestia you help them out of the kindness of your heart even if that means you tire yourself out. As Giantlestia you can just ignore their teeny-weeny little problems, stomp on by, and focus on enjoying yourself?’ I had said that in hopes that you would gain a new perspective on things. For you too be so large you would see their problems and creatures themselves as insignificant. Which you ended up doing, such as when we played tennis or when you took your frustrations out on the Griffin and Minotaur kingdoms.”

“As they day went on, you began to lose sight of yourself, wanting to satisfy your personal desires for fun in exchange for other creatures’ safety. There is nothing wrong with wanting to have fun Tia but doing it at the expense of others is wrong. And I’m happy that you remembered that.”

Luna took Equis in her hoof and looked down at it, a motherly smile also on her face as she gazed down at the planet.

“I can see so many creatures looking up at us right now, fearful of our power as we literally hold their entire world in our hooves. At any moment we could crush the planet or swat it away like a pest. But that is not who we are, that is not who you are dear sister. The Celestia I know, and love is one of the most kindhearted and loving ponies to ever walk this world. Please never lose sight of who you are.”

A tear fell down Celestia’s muzzle as she floated forward and embraced Luna in a big hug “Thank you for doing this Lulu,” she sniffled “I feel so much better now. Not only for the day off but helping me find myself again.”

“You’re welcome Tia,” came Luna’s muffled voice from inside Celestia’s fluff.

Giggling, the giga sized sun princess removed herself from the embrace and turned her attention to the marble sized planet floating by her eye. Quickly and gently snagging in with her hoof she held it up to her face and smiled down at it “And thank you little ones for helping me out with this,” Celestia’s face seemed to light up as she sensed, with her now nearly infinite powers, all the creatures residing on the planet she held in her grasp, cheering for her, proud that their lovable sun princess had overcome this hurtle in her life. 

Celestia raised Equis to her muzzle and gave the little planet a kiss, The infinitesimal creatures getting smothered by their princess’ love as her warm, soft, and plushy lips descended from the heavens and gave them the biggest kiss they had ever received. 

Celestia turned to Luna “I think I’m ready to wake up now Lulu. Ready to start the day and give the world the princess they truly deserve and can count on.”

Luna nodded once, her horn lighting up with a soft blue glow “I’ll see you in a bit then sister,” she said with one final smile before a blinding white light engulfed them both.





Celestia opened her eyes, now normal sized, and laid sprawled out on her king-sized bed. “What a dream,” she thought as she removed the blanket from herself and got into her usual attire. Celestia stepped out onto the balcony and lit up her horn, a familiar golden glow surrounding it as she brought up the sun for the day. Closing her eyes with a smile, she soaked in the warm rays before heading back inside. 

Stepping into the bathroom she performed her normal morning ritual of brushing her teeth, taking a bath, and straightening out her mane. Once finished her headed back into her room and was pleasantly happy to see that the maid had brought up her breakfast while she was tending to her morning needs. A quick meal of Pancakes, tea, and a smuggled-up slice of chocolate cake she was ready to start the day. Celestia stepped into the throne room where she was greeted by her assistant: Raven Inkwell. 

“Ready to start the day your majesty?” She asked. Celestia took a seat on her throne and looked back at her assistant with a kind smile “Of course Raven, when you’re ready, please send them in.” she said. Raven nodded and walked to the large double doors of the throne room, before opening it however, she turned back to Celestia.

“Umm, ma’am? May I please say something?” she asked.

“Of course, you may Raven,”

“You seem different today. More happy and full of life, in opposed to the previous weeks. Did you get a good night’s sleep perhaps?” Raven asked.

Celestia simply smiled “Why yes I did dear. It looks like a good night’s sleep is just what the doctor ordered.” Raven nodded, a small grin beginning to creep onto her face “Of course your highness. I’ll send in the first petitioner now,” she opened the door and looked outside, and stuck her head back in with a miserable expression on her face “The first pony to see you is…Ever Wealthy Princess Celestia.”

To Raven’s surprise Celestia still had a smile on her face as she nodded “Very well then, please send her in Raven.” Raven made to open the door, but it was thrown open with a BANG and in strutted the Green noble. Head held high and nose pointed in the air, she marched her way over to the throne. Celestia could see out of the corner of her eyes some of the guards subtly roll their eyes while others tensed up at Wealthy’s rude entrance. 

Ever Wealthy reached the throne and gave a low bow “Your most esteemed Princess Celestia,” Wealthy began “she who raises the sun and guides us all, please grant me the privilege of being in your morning court.”

With over 1000 years of practice, the most esteemed Princess Celestia managed to not topple over and laugh her head off and the ridiculous introduction. Gathering herself together, Celestia replied “Of course Ms. Wealthy, what brings you here this fine morning?” 

“I came to follow up about a matter I previously came to talk to you about,”

Celestia nodded “Ah, yes. Your neighbor was crafting hedge animals, correct?” 

Wealthy nodded as well “Correct, so what I want to know is, WHY DID YOU DENY MY RIGHT AS A CITIZEN OF THIS KINGDOM TO SUE THEM? THEY’RE MESSING UP THE SCENERY AND I DON’T LIKE LOOKING AT IT! MAKE THEM STOP RIGHT THIS INSTANT!” She shouted, stomping her hoof like a filly throwing a tantrum.

“Because it is well within their right to craft hedge animals on their property, as long as no one is getting hurt and they aren’t vandalizing anything there is no case to be made here, that is why I had to throw it,” Celestia said calmly.

“BUT I DON’T LIKE IT! I BET IT MAKES THE VALUE OF MY BEAUTIFUL MANSION AND PROPERTY GO DOWN WITH THEIR DUMB ART! MAKE THEM STOP PRINCESS!” Ever Wealthy continued to shout.

It was here Wealthy felt something akin to a chill in the room, she looked up from her fit and saw that Celestia was no longer smiling, instead she saw that her wings were spread wide as she looked down at her with a silent fury, similar to that of an angry parent “Young filly,” Celestia scolded, her voice seemed to reverberate against the walls “I will stand by what I said, there will be no petty court case over the fact that you don’t like your neighbor’s right to express themselves. You will be fined for 200 bits for wasting my courts time as well as the fact you have been harassing your neighbor over this. Talk to Ms. Inkwell and she will get the paperwork for you to pay your fine. Now Begone!” 

Ever Wealthy’s eyes shrank to pinpricks as she quickly scurried to the door where Raven was, her tail tucked between her legs. Raven was looking back at Celestia, an expression of awe and admiration on her face. Celestia simply winked at her. Raven gave a small smirk as she led Ever Wealthy outside, to take care of the paperwork. 

A few minutes later, Raven came back, now alone. There seemed to be a spring in her step “That was amazing your highness!” She said happily “All the nobles who were waiting outside heard what was going on. You should have seen their faces when they heard you give a fine for wasting the morning court’s time because of petty cases. All of them have cleared out. Your morning is completely free now!”

Celestia chuckled “Thank you dear, I’m happy you enjoyed that, I kind of did too.”

“Will you be taking the rest of the day off to prepare for your meetings with the minotaur and griffon kingdoms this afternoon?” Raven asked.

“I will Raven, but before I do, could you tell me where my sister is currently? Has she retired for the day?”

Raven shook her head “No your highness, she is eating dinner right now. Would you like to go see her?”

Celestia nodded and stood up, heading out of the throne room and towards the dining hall. Inside she saw Luna stuffing her face with a creamy fettuccini alfredo, several empty bowls of various dishes stood stacked in a heap on the table next to her. “Tia!” Luna managed to say, her mouth completely full. She took a second to grab the glass of water next to her, chugged it down, and swallowing “How was morning court?”

Giggling, Celestia hopped into a chair next to her “A lot better Lulu, thanks to you.” 

Luna held a hoof to her chest in faux shock “Moi? Do tell.” 

“It was because of your help with my dream Luna. With you reminding me to be a better pony and not letting the noble’s petty problems dig so deeply into me. It was putting such a damper on things, and I finally managed to deal with it. I know you reminded me to be loving and caring to all, and I managed to do that. I had to give Ever Wealthy a little bit of tough love and help her realize all she was doing was hurting those around her. I hope the fine will be enough to open her eyes and realize what she’s doing is wrong because all her life she’s just been getting what she wants. Especially because of her father’s money.”

Luna nodded as she grabbed a bowl of 3 cheese pasta and breadsticks and began scarfing it down “You made the right call Tia. And from what I heard from the staff; nobles will finally stop bringing selfish problems to the court when they can work it out themselves.”

Celestia nodded “Now I believe I will finally have time to hear the pleas from our other citizens,”

“Excellent, also speaking of which, aren’t you meeting with the Minotaur kingdom and Griffin empire today? You know, the ones you unceremoniously flattened and swept away with in your dream? How do you plan with dealing with them today?

Celestia looked at Luna with an air of confidence “You’ll see Lulu. I’ll be using a bit of your teachings during the meetings to help me with this."
> Epilogue- A GIANT Understanding
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Celestia sat inside the meeting room, anxiously shifting her weight from side to side as she stared at the huge, closed, golden doors. The meeting with the teenage griffin king Grifon was about to get underway shortly, and to say that she was nervous was an understatement because she had decided to make a rather large, and personal decision to benefit both her, and the young king. Celestia thought back to her “day off” with Luna and what she ended up doing after the tennis game had ended. Her ears drooped to her head as she let out a whimper, to say that she was ashamed of her actions was putting it mildly. She had actually gone out of her way to find the griffon empire, tear it out of the ground like it was a carrot, and destroy it by simply bumping into it with her hip, terrifying all of the creatures inside, particularly the young king. Closing her eyes for a second, Celestia thought back to that particular moment, when all of her unstoppable power and her insurmountable size had started to go to her head: 

“Giggling like a filly, Celestia lit up her horn and a golden glow surrounded the griffon empire. There was a rumbling noise as the whole empire began to rise out of the ground, the entire domain on a portion of earth the giga sized sun princess had effortlessly plucked out of the ground like it was a weed. Celestia raised the empire to her face, looming over it, her face darkened by the sun behind her “Now really young king, you should learn to treat your elders properly. Didn’t your parents raise you better? Looks like somepony will have to discipline you.” Ignoring the tiny high pitched indigent squeaks coming from the little empire, Celestia simply levitated it a bit lower before turning around.

And promptly hip-checked it.

The whole mass of griffon empire exploded in a shower of dirt, dust, infinitesimal buildings, and fell to the ground after getting hit by Celestia’s gargantuan twin suns. The princess herself scanned the mounds of uprooted soil after it had settled before lighting her horn once more. This time the glow surrounded one single extremely tiny individual, Celestia plucked up the little King in her magic and lifted him to her eyes, sternly looking down at him like a disappointed parent “Now you listen here young cockerel, act better in the future. No more of that high and mighty nonsense in my castle when you come to negotiate, or you’ll be getting another visit from big ol’ me.” With a huff, Celestia stuck her nose into the air and flicked the little griffon king away with her magic. Grifon fell flailing into a lake and resurfaced. Only to just barely avoid being stepped on by Celestia’s colossal foot as she strode past Luna, who had been watching the whole thing unfold from the sidelines.”

Celestia re-opened her eyes and reflected on that moment “I really let all that power and size go to my head. Who do I think I am? Tirek?” She thought glumly, putting a hoof on her cheek and leaning against it with a tired sigh. But what bothered the sun princess even more was what her titanic self didn’t see after she had started to walk away from the ruined mess of tiny griffon empire. Specifically, Grifon’s face. Luna had told her about the look of pure terror that was in his eyes after Celestia had left, terrified of her overwhelming size, power, the overall cruelty of the act, and probably because she had almost squashed him while she was leaving. The young king knew full well that if Celestia had wanted to act meaner during the encounter, she could have done so without a second thought and there was absolutely nothing he could have done against her unstoppable might. 

But after she had her epiphany while floating around in space, playing marbles with planets, she never did shrink herself back down to a more manageable size and right her wrongs as “Giantlestia.” She never went back to repair the damage she had done to the Griffon empire or the Minotaur kingdom she had carelessly swept away, or even apologize to that poor little colt she had terrified when she first gazed down onto the planet she held. Even though it was all a dream, like Luna said, it was not a good mindset to get into. She did wrong, so she should have gone back and corrected it. Perhaps use her unstoppable dream magic to repair the entire Griffon empire and Minotaur kingdom, and after she was done, shrink back down to normal size, find that poor colt, and console him for terrifying him.

But what disturbed Celestia the most was, in her drunken ecstasy of power, she brough up Grifon’s parents in a backhanded comment while she was taunting him “Now really young king, you should learn to treat your elders properly. Didn’t your parents raise you better? Looks like somepony will have to discipline you.” Grifon’s parents had passed away long ago, leaving the adolescent cockerelto ascend the throne at such a young age. But like with any kingdom, those in power saw an opportunity to seize more for themselves and did everything they could to try and get into the young king’s good graces so they could leach favors off him. Throughout most of his life, while Grifon still had his fair share of tutors and others who tried to guide him on the right path, like his parents, the overwhelming amount of bad influences around him from noble griffons trying to get more power was staggering. Leading to Grifon to adopt a similar mindset as them: rude, disrespectful, and spoiled. But deep down, Celestia had a feeling that Grifion only acted like that because he felt like he had no other choice. Because that was all he had known his entire life after his parents passed when he was still little.

Celestia had been a very good friend to the griffon royal family, she almost felt like another member of their family for the past few decades. But with so much that had happened in Equestra for the past few years; like Luna returning, Discord being set free, the Changeling invasion, The crystal empire reappearing, Tirek escaping, and the Changelings reforming, she had little to no time to keep up relationships with other nations properly. When she had heard of the griffon royal family passing away due to illnesses, it had been around the same time Luna had been fated to return, so she could only send a hastily written letter before Nightmare Moon confronted her and banished her to the moon an hour later. But there was no excuse now, she had been apart from Grifon’s life for too long now, she was practically his aunt for goodness sake! the casual disrespect the griffons showed her and the ponies working in the castle was partially her fault because she didn’t offer support to Grifon when he needed it, so he fell into a bad crowd for support. But the only times she had seen him was in formal settings. But that was going to change today, this, she was sure of.

Celestia was jerked out of her thoughts as she heard a knocking on the door. She looked up to see Luna, poking her head in though the opening, looking over at her. “Sister, it’s time. The delegates from the Griffon empire have arrived,” she said. Celestia nodded “Very well Luna, send them in please.”





Loud. That was really the only word that could be used to describe the delegate who had arrived. There were three total: The first was named Gareth, a new delegate. Well, to call him a delegate was being extremely generous. He was more of a noble griffon who bought his way into the government. Gareth had constantly pestered Grifon to become a delegate mostly so he could see places around the world for free and not have to pay for anything himself. He really didn’t know anything about politics, he was just there for the food and drink. 

The second griffin delegate who had come was named Gemma. She was about as spoiled as they come. A constant daddy’s girl as Celestia found out, when Gemma wanted to take home Celestia’s antique tea set. When she refused, Gemma threw a fit and threatened to ‘call her father on her.’ How she convinced Grifon to allow her to come back was anyone’s guess. If Celestia was honest, her attitude bore a lot of resemblance to Ever Wealthy.

And the final delegate was Grifon himself, clearly the youngest present, at only 18 years of age. But as Celestia observed, his mannerism seemed to stem from the two around him, just as she suspected. The way he composed himself was like the two, his speech was alike, and his boisterous nature was similar as well. In Celestia’s opinion, this was less of a meeting, and more like a one-sided frat party. Gareth and Gemma were busy guzzling down the expensive wine Luna had laid out while Grifon helped himself to the entire biscuit tray. The three were loudly discussing amongst themselves all the policies they were going to talk to the “Old Mare” about. Celestia bristled at the comment, she’ll have them know she was no older than 1,100 years old! Definitely not that old. But that was beside the point. She had a job to do, and that was to reconcile with Grifon. Call it a personal friendship mission.

“Grifon, do you have a moment? I wish to speak with you,” Celestia asked, interrupting the trios’ lively conversation. They all blinked and made to stand up all at once, however Celestia held up her hoof “Not everygriffion, I wish to speak to Grifion alone please.” She said. 

The others blinked and looked at each other before shrugging “Sure, you can have em” Gareth said uncaringly as he settled back in his chair and took another glass of wine, Gemma nodding as she went to do the same. Grifon’s ears drooped slightly at the harsh remark before he recomposed himself. Hopping out of his chair, he followed Celestia outside and down the hall, away from any prying ears hoping to eavesdrop. 

“Ok, Celestia I’m here. Let’s get this over with,” Grifon grumbled “What do you want?”

Celestia paused, as she stopped in front of Grifon and took a deep breath “Grifon…I just wanted to talk to you. ACTUALLY, talk to you, because I feel as if I haven’t properly done that since you were a chick, learning to walk for the first time,” she said, looking out the window, smiling sadly, yet fondly of the memory.

Grifon looked confused “What are you talking about? I didn’t meet you until I became Emperor,” he said

Celestia shook her head solemnly “That is not true dear Grifon, I’ve known you since you were a baby,” she said, looking back into his eyes sadly “I used to be very close friends with your parents, they were practically a second family to me, I used to come visit all the time, not even for official business, but just to play with you and spend time with your family,” Celestia’s horn lit up and a picture frame popped into existence.

She lowered it slowly to Grifon, who took it in his claws, which was beginning to tremble slightly. There, on the photo frame was his familiar room back at his castle, decorated for Hearth’s warming eve. But around him, in holiday sweaters, was the smiling and laughing faces of his parents. Who were both standing on either side of a sweater wearing Celestia. And in Celestia’s hooves, grabbing onto her nose in the picture, was himself. A baby version of himself.

Tears began to gather around Grifon’s face for the first time in years, as faint memories of his beloved parents began to seep back to him slowly. He remembered them as loving and caring, always wanting the best for him, until one day, when he had come home from school, he was greeted not by the smiling face of his parents, but of the teary-eyed butler, who gently informed him of what transpired. From then on, his life seemed to be blur; an endless cycle of going to school, meeting with tutors, noble griffons coming to see him, and meeting up with friends so he could try to have some semblance of normalcy in his life. Gemma and Gareth were his friends too, right? He had met them recently and they offered to accompany him on his visits to Equestria so they could act as ambassadors and help talk about policies they could negotiate with Celestia and Luna.

Celestia watched as Grifon tried to subtly wipe the tears from his eyes and hide the sniffles as he slowly looked back up at her, a spark of anger beginning to grow in his eyes “Why now?” Grifon asked “Why bother talking to me now Celestia? If you were as close to my parents as you say, why didn’t you ever bother to write to me before in the past? Heck, why didn’t you even show up for their funeral?! You said yourself they were practically your second family!” Grifon ended with a screech, tears flowing freely down his face as he broke down sobbing, the weight of the moment finally bearing down upon him. Emotions he had kept repressed for several years finally burst out of him. 

Celestia said nothing as she slowly walked up to the broken griffon, sat back on her hunches, and wrapped her forelegs and wings around him, pulling him into a warm hug. Grifon jolted at the sudden contact, resisting for a split second, before settling down into the warm fluff, wrapping his arms around Celestia’s barrel as she let him cry on her shoulder, letting him release years of pent-up sorrow. 

When Grifon seemed like he had no more tears to shed, he just laid limp, still embraced in the hug as he sniffled slightly. Celestia moved her head over and began to gently nuzzle him as she spoke softly “I wanted to come see you so many times, but unfortunately, recent events have halted me from doing so. I see now just how unfair that must have been for you, how unfair I have been to you. When Luna returned, she needed all the support and love possible from me because she was still hurting from our last altercation over 1000 years ago, but I stayed by her side to make sure she was able to pull through all right. But I neglected the fact that there was one other who needed my support just as much as she did. Someone who had barely anyone there for him. Grifon, I’m so sorry I couldn’t be there to help you in the past, but with your permission, I would like to start now. Will you let me?”

Grifon looked up at her with wide eyes, hardly daring to believe it, before they hardened again “How do I know you won’t just take advantage of me and the crown?” He asked suspiciously. Celestia shook her head “I don’t, and never will, have any inclination of doing that dear. But if at any point you feel uncomfortable, then don’t be afraid to let me know and I’ll keep my distance if you’d permit it,”

Grifon thought for a minute, before a weak smile began to spread across his face “does that mean I get to call you Auntie Celestia?” he asked with a small laugh. 

A smile broke across Celestia’s face as well “Of course, my dear nephew,” she said with a wink

Grifon began to hug her again tightly, a newfound sense of happiness coming over him at the family member he gained while Celestia allowed him to melt into her arms, content that she finally managed to reconcile with Grifon and that she had managed to remember Luna’s lesson. To be there for ponies and creatures in need. To give them the Celestia they could truly rely and depend on. After a few minutes of silence had passed between them, they finally broke apart, a wide smile adorned Grifon’s face as he shined with a new light, having seemed to have found a piece that was missing from him.

“Shall we head back?” Asked Celestia as she began to grin “I’m sure your two…friends have already finished off that wine bottle Luna left and have moved onto the biscuits,”

Grifon paused, before looking back at Celestia with an ashamed look “Princess, I’m really sorry about those two by the way. I know they aren’t the best and have terrible manners but if you could, allow me to deal with them when I get back to the empire,” he said “I’ll see to it that I can get actual dignitaries instead of griffons just trying to buy their way in,”

Celestia nodded “Of course dear, and if you need help with anything else, please don’t be afraid to reach out to me.”

Grifon nodded “Of course…auntie,” he said with a smile “I’m sorry for the way I acted before by the way,”

“No apology needed,”

“I understand. Now I believe we can go over the policies we wanted to review. Together.”





“That was so sweet of you Sister, becoming young Grifon’s auntie. Does that mean I’m his auntie now as well?” Luna asked playfully as she and Celestia watched the griffins fly away. The meeting had ended on a high note, with Grifon beginning to take the meeting more seriously and they had managed to negotiate several policies that will benefit both nations. Much to the annoyance of the two dead weights who had tagged along for a royal treatment.

Celestia giggled “why yes dear Luna, I believe that would make you his aunt as well. Don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to him so you can get to know your new nephew better,” she said happily

Next to them, the Minotaur dignitaries were getting into pony powered pulled carriages, as they too were set to be taken back to the train station. The meeting with them had gone extremely well too. Celestia had realized (from her brief encounter in her dream) that Chief Adonis greatly respect strength (as evidence from him challenging her when she was a giant) so the only way she could ever get the stubborn Chief to respect her, was to display her strength to all to see. And the way she was able to do that was very simple: challenge the chief to a hoof-wrestling contest in front of everypony. If she won, then the two would discuss negotiations in a very civil matter, and if she lost, then she would grant one of Adonis’ requests for free. Of course, Celestia being Celestia, easily managed to overpower Adonis in seconds, with the prideful chief not being able to move her arm an inch. But what surprised them all was the fact that usually hot-headed Adonis, simply smiled and congratulated Celestia on her victory, before proceeding to comply with her terms calmy. Luna guessed that all Adonis needed was to see firsthand was that all that talk of Celestia’s power wasn’t just talk, there was actually merit to it, and since the minotaurs respected strength so much, they were happy to work alongside somepony who could give their leader a good challenge.

As the two royal sisters watched the groups depart, Celestia looked to her side, there clutched under her wing was a small letter that Grifon had hastily wrote to her before he left. Inside, there was a list of all the things he wanted to write about in the future and all the things he wanted to stay in contact with her for. Celestia had offered to give him advice should he need it at any point which the young king gladly accepted from his parent’s old friend. 

Celestia simply smiled as she looked across the horizon at the two departing groups she had once been at odds with. She had extended a hoof of friendship to them, and she was relieved that they had excepted. All she and Luna could do now was look to the future and face it together, with, of course, the help of their newfound friends and allies.
