Author's Note

Finally got another chapter one out for you guys and girls to read. I do apologize for taking so long, but I had a root canal today, and the meds were making me a little loopy.

But I'm here with another chapter. So please enjoy and leave some feedback about it.

Chapter I

Leo awoke in the same large room Celestia carried him in by her wings. His tails stretched as far as his arms and legs would, and yet he still felt awfully tired from the stressful endure of having needles stuck into his skin. It was odd to him. He never felt this tired before and had just woken up from a nice nap in his little cave of pillows.

He always loved crawling into small places and hiding in them, but unlike what he usually wakes up to, he found himself corrected of what lays on top him...and under him.

He yawned into one of his hands and looked up to a very loving muzzle rubbing against his cheek. He could not make out what was touching, for he still had trouble opening his eyes and rubbing out the sleep blanketing them. And yet the warm touch felt better than the confusion of feathers over and under his body.

He yawned again and, by his complete instinct, nuzzle the lips that continued to move across his skin. His whiskers tickled the loving pony as she curled her wings to hold him close. Pulling him close to her soft chest, the Dirty Minded Goddess answered his nuzzle with a short giggle and gently pushed her nose against his.

A feeling that made the princess feel more loved than by any stallion she's slept with. It was not the kind of love that lasts for a day, but a love that made her feel appreciated and wanted as the pony she is.

"Hello cutie." Celestia cooed, "Did you have a good nap in my wings?"

Leo looked down to where his body should have been but saw two incredibly big wings wrapped around his little body. The only thing that was visible is the tip of his tails and maybe a few strands of fur that came off. He followed the trail of feather until the connection to the mare holding him gave realization.

Barely able to process, Leo decided to still his mind and just let the warmth of feather and fur rub his body. Until something below him pressured in his waist and continued to grow. He recalled from what Mr. Mole told him about the pressure in the lower half of his body and proceeded to wriggle free from Celestia's grasp.

Said mare blinked in uncertainty of this. She removed her muzzle from the child and arched her brow as he grunted for freedom.

"Everything alright?" she asked quizzically.

Leo finally got his arms free and pushed out of her wings. He gave the princess a pleading look as the pressure in his body started to hurt.

"Gotta pee." the little fox said.

Celestia flinched at those words. She had realized that Leo's entire time in Canterlot had not one session of using the bathroom. Her brain finally clicked to this as the boy found his freedom with a hop off the bed and rather funny dance.

Celestia could only chuckle at the boy as he looked at her for the location of a nearby bathroom.

"Miss Celestia." he whined.

"It's over there, honey." she pointed at the door next to her wardrobe.

Once those words processed in his mind, Leo made a remarkable dash to the alicorn's bathroom, leaving a small line of smoke in his path and an echoing sound of a bullet. Which by the way startled the princess greatly.

Screeches from him stopping abruptly were heard before he slammed the door shut, a sound that disturbed the princess as she stood up and stretched her wings.

"How the hay did he just do that?" she waved a hoof through the dissipating smoke, reassuring herself that this was no illusion. "Nopony can leave smoke in their path. Was he partially on fire, or did he somehow use magic to make it so the air breaks down and creates pure smoke?"

Leo was well on his way to relieving himself of the urge to pee. He jumped up and poked the button that locks the door, barely hitting it with his index finger. He was small, perhaps too small for most things that are within this castle, but that didn't stop him from trying.

It was strangely quiet when he did this. He did not hear the princess nor see her shadow from under the door. Usually an adult would be waiting at the door for him to finish; it was how Mr. Mole made sure he was okay, but Celestia was not near.

It became awkward for him, so awkward that he forgot how bad he needed to pee.

"Miss Celestia is weird...but nice." he told himself.

He turned around and found the solution to all his problems shining before him, glowing in the marble room as it enraptured his mind with the display of columns, a tub that is a pool in his eyes, and a sink that carried many different bottles. He ran up to the toilet and immediately did his business, the following sounds of relief were like music to him.

Leo remained in position for a good thirty seconds before zipping his pants and checking that none of his tails slipped out the hole in the back. That is until he encountered a serious problem with the toilet.

"Where is the handle?"

Leo looked up and to his frustration found the mechanism hanging five feet above his head, dangling on a steel chain.

He gave the handle a flat glare and said, "How am I supposed to reach that?"

Before his mind could start turning all the gears that have yet to move, a quick idea sparked above his mind, as a metaphorical lightbulb. He looked around the toilet and saw that it was just right for him to climb.

He eyed Celestia's toilet and gave it a determined smile. The little devil in his head was now beating his conscience senseless, removing all sense of safety.

"Mr. Mole is not around to keep an eye on me. I can do what I want, and right now I am going to reach that handle, no matter what."

Leo closed the lid and proceeded to scale the toilet with his hands and tails. A feat that only his kind can use when needing to reach high places. He momentarily forgot about Celestia and focused on the handle that is hanging away from the toilet, ignoring the dangers of standing five feet off the ground.

"I don't need help."

At this point he was on the tank and reaching out to the handle with all the stretch his arm would give. He groaned and spat raspberries as the frustration continued to build.

All he had to do was grab the handle and pull it down to make his pee go away. But it was just far enough to keep him away from his goal, far enough that the most he could do is poke it with his middle finger.

Of course it just had to be this close yet this far to him. Leo silently cursed himself for being so young and small. He quietly complained about being runt that the other spirits picked on in school. And he specifically made sure to whine about being the smallest spirit in the castle.

Finally he got ahold of the handle with one, then made the immediate jump to weight it down. Victory was his and he could taste it, like a strawberry sundae.

Until...

"What the heck?" he looked up to the chain, and again, to his frustration, realized the problem.

He was not heavy enough to pull down the chain.

"That isn't fair." he exclaimed, "How am I supposed to pull this down when...when..."

His mind finally went to work on what was about to happen. The grip he had on the handle was slowly slipping as the shadow of his cuddly friend appeared behind the door.

"Leo," Celestia knocked three times, "Are you alright? I heard you yelling just now."

Leo was just about to say something to that but remembered how he was barely hanging onto the handle by his hands. He looked up and gasped as he lost his and fell from to cold, marbled floor with a hard thud to his head. It made him yelp and groan, but not before rolling onto his tails in a very uncomfortable way.

Celestia was quick to use her magic on the door for entry. She forced her way and ran inside to see that Leo was sitting on the floor with his hands over a bump that was already forming. She couldn't comprehend why he was on the floor and about to cry; it was just a simple bathroom break, right?

"Leo?"

He looked up to her, tears imminent.

"I-I fell and hit my head on the fl-floor." he choked on his breath as the tears started pouring down his cheeks. "Why am I-I too sma-small to pull a handle?"

A sudden flash of the boy's pain made Celestia remember when she was just a filly trying to do things on her own. She saw how much he wanted to let it out, how he wanted to let his frustration explode, but would not because he does not want to be seen as a weakling. And that is what the princess understand more than anyone could. The feeling of being small and weak and unable to do tasks without help. She knew how hard it was to feel powerless, but being his size meant different to her.

Leo was not a pony. He was something else, something smaller, and it drove him up the wall right now.

"I hate being small!" as fast as he screamed those words, the white hot anger in his hands was suddenly gone.

Celestia sensed his feelings and faltered to picking him up with her wings. She didn't want Leo to cry, not for being unable to flush. She quickly pulled the handle and carried him back to the bed, nuzzling his head the entire time. Which was more confusing than the last emotion she felt.

She didn't just adore him for how cute he is, she cared for him with genuine feeling, something she's never felt for any male before.

"It's okay. Calm down." she cooed, pecking his cheek while healing the bump with her magic. "There's no need for tears when Miss Celestia can fix it."

Leo hiccupped a few times.

"It's okay sweetie. Just calm down."

Leo suddenly felt the warmth of her wings washing over as he focused on the soft tune of her voice. A hum, a heavenly, gentle, smooth hum from Celestia graced his cheek. Everything, his frustration, the change into a life full of ponies, even the dislike of being smaller than everyone, it all went away in just mere seconds of the princess humming such a loving tune.

Celestia continued to hum this tune and snuggle the little fox with all of her gentle power. She nuzzled and nuzzled until his whiskers dug into her fur and scratched against her lips; at least that is what it felt like to her.

"Feel better?" she asked.

Leo nodded, and to her surprise crawled up her chest and did the most stunning thing anyone could do to her. Stallions of many generations have tried this, stallions that were desperate and loveless, but none of them were able to get close to Celestia's emotions...nor her lips.

Standing on the tips of his toes, the little fox reached up, pecked her lips, and rubbed his nose against hers; such is the way for his kind, but not in the way his beautiful friend expected. Foxes were known to be mischievous yet very loving to those close to them; it was the way Celestia knew from a few encounters over the years of her eternity.

But Leo was not any normal fox, nor a full-formed fox, and that is what made it most interesting about him.

His arms wrapped around the alicorn's neck as far as they could reach; unknowingly, he stunned his friend with his affection. He continued to push his nose against Celestia's and give her the biggest hug he could give.

"You're nice, Miss Celestia, and pretty, like Miss Luna."

Celestia smiled warmly, not a hint of deviousness behind her eyes. She never had someone compliment her like that; at least not so genuinely. The stallions she spent her time with would give dramatic details about her figure and personality; oh how she would shine brighter than her own sun, oh to the sparkle of her glistening body, and whatever rubbish they could say to butter her up.

It's not like it worked anyway. But Leo, oh that darling boy she adores, had it just right with such simplicity in his compliment.

"Oh am I now?" Celestia asked, holding the boy at her eye level, "Now you are just a sweetheart to an old mare like me. You're going to be an eye catcher when you grow up."

Leo simply giggled and rubbed his ear. His blush said what Celestia needed to know about her little friend when it comes to having pretty ladies around him. He answered the alicorn with a short smile as her muzzle touched his lips in return. He accepted the nose kisses, something he enjoyed receiving.

This went on for a few more seconds, but it quickly ended at the sudden lick of something hot, fresh, and nearby.

His ears perked up, his whiskers twitched with his nose, flicking the princess just enough to itch her nose. The scent was close, the aroma was very strong, and he could not resist sighing to sweetness that calls to him. Like all animals, Leo had an enhanced sense of smell, a sense that benefited him at the perfect time right now.

"Leo?" Celestia's voice did not register. He only heard the little devil in his mind tell him about the treat that is waiting to be engorged by him.

Leo hopped out of Celestia's grasp and proceeded to sniff the air, catching the scent by the end of its tail. Motivated, he got on all fours and started following the trail to the door that leads out of the room, with Celestia following him.

"Leo," Celestia repeated, worriedly, "You're acting strange. Is everything alright? Are you feeling well?"

Leo jumped and grabbed the doorknob, pulling it down with just enough strength to unlatch it before kicking away with the other door. Once it was open he looked back to Celestia with the most adorable look of determination on his face. If it wasn't for how cute he looked just now, Celestia might have worried about his falling causing some sort of damage.

"I smell cake," he sniffed the air again, "No," his mouth started to water, "I smell...chocolate cake....with chocolate frosting."

Celestia's ears perked as well. The kind and gentle Celestia was instantly buried under her massive addiction for sweets and replaced with the old mare that everyone knows.

She leaned down and managed to say, "You smell cake right now?"

"Yes, and it is fresh." Leo quipped.

So Leo can smell food...Oh him and I are going to be the best of friends.

Celestia smiled evilly at the boy, or so she tried but failed to do so. Instead she remained as warm as possible behind that mask of hers, while fighting the urge to use her silver tongue to win some cake.

"Leo, Sweetie," Celestia nudged him out the door, "How about you take Miss Celestia to the cake? If you do we can go out into the garden and share it."

"You got it, Miss Celestia." Leo started running as fast as his feet would let him. "Follow me!"

"Onward, you little rascal."

Lead me to the goods, you adorable sweet tracker.
