it begins part 1 initiation

“Sorry I guess I was distracted trying to figure out what exactly went wrong,” said Sweetie apologizing.

“No problem just try and warn us next time you're going to do something like that,” said Scootaloo.

“So let's go over the plan one last time,” said Sweetie. Eagerly. As the trio huddles, they discuss their brilliant plan Sweeties mostly. “So does every pony know their part,”asked Sweetie.

"yeah," said Apple Bloom. “Ahm supposed da give Apple Jack the poison joke potion and when she shrinks ah"m supposed da bring er over ta ya at Rarity's,” said Apple Bloom assuredly.

“Right, Scootaloo?” answered Sweetie and asking Scootaloo.

“And I'm supposed to bring Fluttershy,Pinkie, and Rainbow Dash if and when she shows up,” said Scootaloo answering Sweetie.

“Well, then let's go,” said Sweetie excitedly putting on her helmet and joining Apple Bloom as they get in the wagon.

“Well I just hope everything turns out alright in the end,” said Apple Bloom.

“Don’t worry Apple Bloom,” said Scootaloo reassuringly. Now on they're way “so what’s you're part Sweetie” asked Scootaloo.

“Well when I get home I first have to shrink rarity, of course, I'll have to make sure opalescence isn’t around and be sure she doesn’t suspect anything. then act like it was an accident and tell her I'm going to get twilight cause I will be. now here's the hard part I have to shrink her as well but making it look accidental is gonna be really hard, to do this I've been practicing fake sneezing while casting the spell” answered Sweetie while thinking it over.

“alright seems like ya got the hardest port,” said Apple Bloom a little more confident in her part.

“and remind me why they have to be shrunk again,” asked Scootaloo.

“Cause then it’ll be easier in two ways one they’ll be easier to deal with and two in a.j’s shrunken form her earth pony magic is more concentrated and easier to purify and prep for the spell. and remember it's only reversible by me the caster or if said caster dies” Said Sweetie causing Scootaloo to slam her breaks.

"Whoah humph," Said, Sweetie as she lands on top of Apple Bloom as Scootaloo hits her breaks but not hard enough for them to fly out like earlier.

“What!?” gasped Scootaloo as she turns and grabs Sweetie by the withers.

“Ya mean ta tell me dat ya could die!” said Apple Bloom looking up at Sweetie as her friend sat on her.

“Well^..well it's only a five percent chance!”said Sweetie removing Scootaloo's forehooves and getting off of Apple Bloom.

“Ah don't care if it's a fraction of a percent! we ain't gonna go anywhere till ya spill.” Said Apple Bloom as she gets to her haunches.

“Ok fine the percent is if I run out of magic.” said Sweetie.

“Uh I thought--common misperception all unicorns have what are called reserves it's the amount of magic a unicorn can use in one go without replenishing it, once it's gone if I were to continue to use magic when they run dry it’ll begin to drain my life energies. but only if I forced myself to keep on if not I'd just pass out and go into an overly deep sleep worst case being a coma” explained, Sweetie as her friend's just stared at her.

“Yeah uh mmm.. ok but I'm not moven till I git a Pinkie Pye swear that you’ll stop if you start to feel drained in anyway shape or form.!” said Scootaloo. pointedly.

“yeah, ya swear” agreed Apple Bloom.

“Cross my heart hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye,” recited, Sweetie doing said motions. “good/ yeah why would ya scare me like dat.” said Scoots and Apple Bloom. As Scootaloo begins moving again.

“oh but what if Rainbow Dash doesn’t show tell like dusk what then,” asked Scootaloo a few moments later.

“Well, then we’ll have to improvise.” Answered sweetie.

“Like with what?” asked Apple Bloom.

“Well, I'm not sure so if she doesn’t show or you can't find her just bring Flutters and Pinkie ok Scoots-i mean-" started Sweetie cut off.

"you're fine and yes so if Dash is a no show just bring the others,” said Scootaloo cutting Sweetie short and answering her .

“You're up Apple Bloom,” said Scootaloo arriving at Sweet Apple Acres.

“Oh and one more thing Apple Bloom when you shrink A.J make sure the bottom of the jar is padded,” said Sweetie as her friend get’s off and hands Sweetie Belle her helmet.

“Got it,” said Apple Bloom; confidence still mounting.

“By,” Sweetie Belle & Scootaloo said in unison as Apple Bloom heads to find A.J in the direction she knows she’ll be in. after a few minutes, they get to Rarity's.

“See you later Sweetie,” said Scootaloo as sweetie takes off her helmet and hops out.

“By Scoots see you later,” said Sweetie putting her helmet in the wagon and heading inside the boutique. Seeing opalescence outside. Sweetie decides to initiate her end of the plan.

“oh Sweetie Belle you're home early are you alright?” said Rarity coming out of the kitchen and noticing Sweeties scrunched up face.

“I..i..i'm”--ahchoo--zoom zap. sneezed Sweetie as a green beam of magic hits Rarity smack in the face.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh” screamed Rarity as she begins to glow white and get progressively smaller.

“ Rarity!” Sweetie says in actual concern. ‘She isn’t supposed to glow like that’ she thinks to herself as she runs over to where she last saw her sister almost crushing her in the process. If it wasn’t for a squeaky scream she probably would have.

looking down at a no bigger than an inch tall Rarity. ‘Well, at least she's the correct size’ she thinks to herself. Getting down on her stomach and looking wide- eyed at the now shrunken and mortified Rarity. “uh, heh heh” Sweetie says ending with a sheepish smile and a squee.

“Sweetie darling could you please tell me why you're so big and why I suddenly feel so small,” said Rarity looking at two giant white & green saucers and a large snout she recognized as Sweeties now giant face.

“Uhh,” said Sweetie slightly stunned the spell she had altered had actually worked this well, and this fast too.

“Well darling I do think we’ll need Twilight for this magical mishap,” said Rarity the thought of Twilight calming her a bit.

“Uh huh,” said Sweetie moving her mouth down to pick up her now mini doll sized sister.

“ahhhg sweetie! what are you doing?" questioned a confused miniRarity.

“Picking you up,” said Sweetie moving back to her original position.

“Well don’t you dare think for a minute you're going to use your mouth that's repulsive not to mention unsanitary!” said Rarity. Disgusted.

“Well I can't just leave you here you could get hurt or worse,” said Sweetie moving to pick her up with her mouth again.

“SWEETIE!” Rarity yelled the giant maw getting close again.

“Oh,” said sweetie. Looking down to her side.her ears back.

“Sweetie please darling don't use your mouth use your magic--,” said rarity cutting herself short. “Right,” said rarity.realizing that was a definite no. ‘she might crush me or shrink me more or..., make me explode!’ thought Rarity considering her options.

Meanwhile back at Sweet Apple Acres Apple Bloom had just found A.J harvesting the south field running to her sister. “Apple jack” shouted Apple Bloom. Stopping at the tree her sister was bucking.

“Oh hey Apple Bloom.” said A.J looking over to her sister running towards her; an impossible grin on her face. “Whatcha out here fur,” asked applejack . Apple Bloom now standing in front of her panting.

“ah..ah..was...wander..en..if..ya.. Cou..ld..-- Deep inhale-- take an.. early lunch?” asked Apple Bloom catching her breath.

“Well ah reckon ah could what this about sugarcube?” said Apple Jack light concern on her face having heard her difference in tone.

“Ah got somthen ah wantcha ta try ta tell me honestly if it's any good,” answered Apple Bloom looking her sister in the eyes.

“Well sure ah could do fur some lunch ahbout now,” said A.J her stomach growling as if in response.

Walking back A.J tells Aapple Bloom her plans for the day other than her chores.

Elsewhere Scootaloo now back at her place tells her godparents where she’ll be for the day as planned she had ask them if it was ok if she had a sleepover at Sweetie's. two days priere and they had said yes.

“We’ll be gone tell munday,” her godmother had said. Her god mother being a wedding planner and her god father being an airship mechanic. Leaving and heading to Fluttershy's she puts on her helmet and heads off in that direction.

Meanwhile back at the boutique.

“Sweetie could you be a dear and lay as low as you possibly can i'm going to try and get on to you're muzzle,” said Rarity . getting an idea.

“ok” squeaked Sweetie trying not hurt her sister's ears any more than she already had according to what her sister had said.

Sweetie lay as low as she could manage putting her head between her hooves . “ok let's see here i just climb up here” said Rarity climbing onto one her of sisters ginormous hooves.

“Then i just use this like rope,” said Rarity using some strands of sweeties hair as makeshift rope and climbing up onto her sisters muzzle.

“Are you ready?” asked Sweetie almost going cross eyed looking at the shrunken down form of Rarity.

“As i’ll* ever be,” said rarity as sweetie slowly began to raise too her hooves. “Careful sweetie you're carrying live cargo!” said Rarity as her sister rose to raise to her hooves Rather shaky at first.

“Sorry sis,” said Sweetie now on her hooves.and heading to the stairs.

“Where are you taking me? were supposed to be heading toward twilight's?!” questioned rarity confused and a little frustrated.

“With you like this →no Rarity i'd rather have a miniature sister than a miniature white, red and hairy pancake.” Said Sweetie shifting too a cold but serious tone.

“But i-- -then where are you taking me,” said Rarity correcting her almost childish retort.

“Some place i know you’ll be safe,” answered Sweetie as she gently heads up the stairs to Rarity's room.

“And just where is this safe place,” asked Rarity eyeing her sister closely.

"Remember that scale model that you made of the booteek for the renovations?” asked Sweetie also eyeing her sister; well as best she could while concentrating on where she was going.

“Yes what about it,” answered rarity not connecting the dots.

“Well i figured you’d be safe in their; least tell i get twilights,” said Sweetie assuringly.almost dropping her sister a second time.

“Wel- -el! I guess that makes sense” said Rarity almost falling off but regaining her balance.as well as what little composeure she had left.

“Hold on,” said Sweetie going over the last step and leveling out. She was thinking about canceling her plan after seeing her sister's reaction to the spell. ‘She wasn’t supposed to glow like that’ -she thought- “Well i guess it does i meen it's the safest place i can think of being you're size and all.” Sweetie finished aloud now stopping in front of her sister's door.

“Well i'm jes--hold on” said Sweetie cutting her sister off.and opening the door.

“Worried” said Rarity under her breath.

“Don't be”. said Sweetie.

“what” said Rarity surprised at her sister's level of hearing. ‘Did she really hear me’ thought Rarity. Wondering if she did or not.

“Don't worry,” said Sweetie. Surprising her and Settling her suspicions.

Meanwhile Apple Bloom and A.J were sitting under their favorite tree having a picnic lunch. “So Apple Bloom ya wanted me ta try this drink ya made,” said Apple Jack putting down her sandwich and addressing Apple Bloom.

“oh yeah ah got it right here,” said Apple Bloom pulling out a small clear bottle with a quark in it filled with a bubbling blue liquid in it from her saddle bag. And hoofing it to A.J.

“Well ah reckon ah could give it a try,” said A.J getting a large grin from Apple Bloom in clear anticipation. “So why’s it bubblin?” asked A.J raising the drink in question to the light. “It doesn’t have anything da do with potions does it?” said A.J questioningly. Knowing about the hearts & hooves day incident.as well as the cutiepocks feasco.

“Not exactly- potion’s but ah did use alchemy ta make it though,” said Apple Bloom nervously.

“Well whatcha got in it,” asked A.J giving her sister a questioning look.

“It's supposed ta be a surprise but ah can tell ya it's got blueberries in it, it's my secret recipe,” answered Apple Bloom not sure if her sister was buying her explanation.

“Well ah guess ah can give it a try,” said A.J. taking the quark out and taking a few large drinks and not wanting to disappoint Apple Bloom decides to drink the whole thing. (ironically).

“Yhearp → Whoa Excuse me” said A.J belching. → “Heh heh” said A.J giggling as her sight goes all wonky.

“Uh A.J?” said Apple Bloom questioningly.

“Apple -heng hec cup- feel wrell- -erghpp,” said A.J belching and drunkenly falling over as she starts to glow a vibrant orange. Apple Bloom watches in surprise shock at how fast it started working.

She had fallen for her ploy. In complete irony noless.

Apple Bloom watches intently as her sister begins to shrink. As not to lose sight of her less she git crushed as she now walks over to where she last saw her sister. “A.J?” called Apple Bloom. Picking up her sister's statson.

Finding her laying there unconscious. “A.J!” yelled Apple Bloom a thought of dread across her face. Noticing her sister move; and scratch her flank noless. “Ahh sigh now ah??” said Apple Bloom Letting out a sigh of relief knowing the tell tale signs that her sister was just sleeping.and thinking how she was going to pick her up.

remembering the previous experience with poison joke. She decided to use her mouth to grab her by her tale.Picking up the sleeping limp form of her sister and grabbing the padded jar from her saddle bag. apple bloom sets her sister in as gently as she can manage being that her snout was to big to fit inside to set her directly on the soft cloth. And drops her in.

“There ya go,” said Apple Bloom. as she places the lid on top (with holes in it for air of course.) “safe n sound” finished Apple Bloom putting the jar in her saddle bags and putting them on.now heading in the direction of the boutique.

Back at the boutique. Sweetie now in her sister's room looks around for the model booteek. Finding it she walks over to it. “Easy sweetie,” said Rarity as her sister lowers her head resting her chin on the table so her sister could get off. “*ok so i just get off simple as that → oh who am i kidding i'll probably break a hoof or worse,” said rarity internally. “Sweetie Belle could you use-- “no.. no magic” said Rarity ending in thought. “*she might make the situation worse.” Finished Rarity thinking.

“Yah Rarity” asked Sweetie. Wondering what her sister was about to ask.

“Sweetie uh” said Rarity not sure what she wanted her sister to do about the height problem.

“Too high” said Sweetie connecting the dots.

“Well yes Sweetie i uh….could you….umm.. → Oh could you lower you're head so you're cheek rests against the lip of my work table… → so i can get of safely.” said Rarity an idea finally coming to her.

“k” said Sweetie carefully lifting up her muzzle however as she moves to put her cheek against it she bumps it.

“carefull Sweetie so you don’t-WAAH” was all Rarity could manage as she falls off her sister's muzzle.

"RArity!" Half yells Sweetie almost biting Rarity in half’,catching her sister in her mouth;( talle hind legs and torso) noless. Hmph was all Rarity could get out. Disgusted. As her sister's teeth and lips squeezed her back and stomach slightly.

“mmmle” said Sweetie now with the tangy taste of hair and? marshmallows? in her mouth.

“Ugh i should've known it would end up like this one way or another,” said Rarity drool running down her side. As she shivers in disgust.

'maybe i should just end this now' thought Sweetie still holding her sister half in her mouth.(her plan not her sister)

“Um darling… → Sweetie could you”--KNOcK KNOcK -- “aaahhealmulp--ehgh keough” half gasps/inhaled Sweetie taking her sister in with it coughing and hacking as she's startled by a knock on the front door of the boutique.

“Damn it no--ahh.. i didn-- heez- mean to,” said Sweetie wheezing and eyes watering as her lungs felt like they were on fire.

“Did i..did she just..” said Rarity questioningly. Now inside her sister's left long.

Lighting her horn only to confirm her suspicions. “Oh please darling no,” said Rarity.

“Rarity i'm so sorry” wheezed Sweetie.

“ i know,” said Rarity knowing her sister well enough to know what the muffled reverberations were whilst being jostled with every breath her sister takes but eventually managing to hold steady via magic. (why hadn’t she used it before?). (probably because she was too scared and or unnerved to think of it)

“I...hhzz..i..i have too..ahh... get too..wheez Twilights,” said Sweetie forcing herself to try and breath normally while she wheezed.
Turning to head to Twilight's (a little too fast). “ahg mmng” said Sweetie pained.

“Oh Sweetie..i know what it's like having something stuck in you're lungs;the pain,” said Rarity as if her sister were in there with her. Cutting herself short as she remembers a spell Twilight had taught her to help calm her nerves. “Well i'm certainly not going to sit here and do nothing → you're in pain and i wont stand for it!” she said aloud.

Concentrating; Her horn now glowing brighter as she prepares her magic whilst she goes over the memory of Twilight's leeson.(why doesn’t she just use it to teleport herself out?can’t she?)

Sweetie noticing her mouth glowing a bluish white as she breaths in front of a large mirror.”what are you trying to do sis” asked Sweetie worriedly and nervously. Feeling her left long go numb.

As if in answer she notices that she can breath as well as the fact that she was breathing light blue smoke.(imagination aid the smoke looks simaler to a sugars. Only amplified x 3)

Still concentrating sitting at the bottom of Sweeties raising and lowering left lung. “Ok that should be it,” said Rarity as she preps herself for the spell. “Oh i do hope i'm doing this right,” said rarity casting the spell.

“Ungh?” said Sweetie as she felt herself getting warm on the inside. and as the warm sensation steadyed she felt her left long cool as she could now feel her entire long as well as some of her rib cage and Rarity?‘sitting’?. Wondering what was happening. As she suddenly couldn’t feel anything inside at all any more. No emotions and no pain.

“Well that's strange,” said Sweetie as she can now feel her emotions though they didn’t exactly feel like hers but more like Her sister's ?.

'That can't be right,' thought Sweetie.

"*what can't darling," said Rarity inside her mind!(what)

“Umm..rarity can you hear me,” said sweetie calmly.nothing she said it again this time internally this time getting a response

“*Well it would appear that i can rather clearly in fact,” said Rarity as sweetie once again swore she had heard her in her mind.

“*Umm ok then i don’t know how i'm able to hear you though.” Thought Sweetie.

"Well i can see how that might be → strange? → i mean i am inside you noless and you're ears are on the outside?” said Rarity questioning herself.

“Rarity i think i'm hearing you in my head,” said Sweetie internally. She’d feel confused but all she felt was numb on the inside. except for the form of her sister inside her left lung.

“What makes you say that darling,” said Rarity. Feeling her sister's distress through her sister's nerves and using the spell to calm her down.

“Because i've been speaking internally i mean... i haven't been talking aloud yet you've been answering me,” thought Sweetie. not sure how to address the situation.

“*Well i am using this spell Twilight taught me to calm you're nerves.” said Rarity calmly as she put two & two together.(hint the brain is made up of nerves cells and other tissues).

“*that might be half of it,” thought Sweetie forgetting her sister could hear her.

“*i suppose Twilight would know more--Oh Sweetie we need to head to Twilight's !”. said Rarity having completely forgotten about their current situation.

“Oh” said Sweetie internally and externally at the same time.

Elsewhere a few moments earlier Pinkie Pie waits after knocking on the front door of Rarity's boutique. Not getting an answer after a full minute &½ she decides to leave.

“She must not be here strange i thought my pinkie sense-- ear thwich, knee buckle, eye shudder.-- well that's new.” Said Pinkie turning back. “Mmm i'll come back later,” said Pinkie turning back around and hopping off towards Fluttershy's.

Back inside the boutique Sweetie Belle sits motionless in front of the large mirror. Not sure what she should do. “Sweetie it's ok i'm fine’ ‘i'm right here.” said Rarity recognizing her sister's emotions(fear,worry regret,and love for her noless) and using the spell to calm and suppress her nerves.

“*Rarity” → “*...i can't move” thought Sweetie.ears back. Finding that no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t so much as blink. ( hint Rarity is a lot deeper in her sister's nervous system than she realizes.) (aware of what each other was feeling but numb to their own.) (hint this goes on throughout the story untill I say it doesn't in the story”)

“*what do you mean darling”. Asked Rarity.

“*Well i...Rarity i..i can’t even blink i'm all numb i mean i can't even feel my tale.” thought Sweetie. Her unstable emotional state slipping Rarity's control as she starts to cry.(frozen in place because of the spell Rarity was using) (and fear)

Meanwhile just now reaching the outskirts of ponyville. Apple Bloom on her way to the the boutique. Bumps into Diamond Tiara.

“Ummph”<’ ‘> “you!” said Apple Bloom & Diamond in aggravated unison.

“Look ah don’t got time fur… this” said Apple Bloom. Not wanting to waste time in in a pointless arguement.

As Silver Spoon joins in “ugh what's she doing here” said Silver.

“Leaving” said Apple Bloom.

Earlier Scootaloo arriving at Fluttershys cottage.

Knock knock- flutersh- -crash. Scootaloo knocks on the door. “Flut”--crash- was all she got out as a tell tale sign that she had startled the over excitable yellow pegasus had sounded.

“Sigh”- -“Fluttershy it's me Scootaloo,” she said. Opening the door and walking in. “oh hi Scootaloo”--”BOOOM-- --- eeap!”said Fluttershy diving into an industrial sized bag of animal feed.
