Chapter 1 - Dawn of the First Day

The next morning, Fluttershy woke up, she felt her tiny daughter sleeping inside her mane. She went to her kitchen to make breakfast. Inside the animal goddess' mane, the butterfly pony woke up after smelling Fluttershy's cooking.

"Something smells good," Aqua said, fascinated by the smell. She moseyed through the forest of pink mane to find out what the goddess is cooking. "What is mama cooking?" She asked.

While Fluttershy was cooking vegetables for breakfast, she could tell that Aqua was awake, but she stayed focused on finishing her cooking before calling her daughter. She placed the food on the table and called, "Rise and shine, my little sleepyhead."

The goddess' wake-up call went to Aqua's ears, she smiled and flew onto her mother's hoof. "Good morning, mama." She said, smiling at the goddess.

"Good morning, Aqua," Fluttershy said "I have prepared breakfast just for you." She showed Aqua the cooked petals, freshly picked from the daisy.

"Yummy!" Aqua cried and ate up the petals, which were the right size for her. "Delicious." She said, satisfied with her breakfast.

"Glad you like it, Aqua," Fluttershy said "My friends will be pleased to see you."

"You have more friends?" Aqua asked.

"Yes, of course." Fluttershy replied "Even mothers have friends. Want to know who they are?"

"Yes, please." Aqua said.

"Alright, these are my friends and what they are known for." Fluttershy said as she opened the book of friendship to show Aqua her friends.

"This is me," Fluttershy said, pointing at the picture of herself "I'm a pegasus pony. I have cared for animals and insects, I've also cared for my friends and family and have been kind to everypony. I hold the Element of Kindness."

"Wow..." Aqua said in awe "I'm so glad you're so kind to me, mama."

Fluttershy smiled and turned the page. "This is Applejack," she said, pointing at the picture of the orange earth pony "She is an earth pony. She is a hard-working farm mare of Sweet Apple Acres. She is very honest to everypony, which explains why she has the Element of Honesty."

"I've never tasted an apple, mama." Aqua said.

"Don't worry, Aqua, you'll have your opportunity." Fluttershy said, then turned the page. "This is Rarity," she said, pointing at the picture of the white unicorn pony "She is a unicorn pony. She runs the Carousel Boutique where fashion is sold. She holds the Element of Generosity, so don't be afraid to ask if you need something."

"Hope she makes clothing my size." Aqua said.

"I'm sure she will, Aqua." Fluttershy said, then turned the page again. "This is Pinkie Pie," she said, pointing at the picture of the pink earth pony "Like Applejack, she is an earth pony. She runs Sugarcube Corner, the party and bake shop. She's a party planner for birthdays, holidays, and more. She holds the Element of Laughter, so if you're sad, her jokes will make you feel better."

"Hope she has lots of jokes." Aqua said.

"Of course, Aqua." Fluttershy said, then turned to the next page. "This is Rainbow Dash," she said, pointing at the picture of the light blue pegasus pony with a rainbow mane "Like me, she is a pegasus pony. She is an incredibly fast pony, but she likes to hang out with her friends. She holds the Element of Loyalty, so she'll be here for you, no matter what."

"She's so cool..!" Aqua said in surprise.

Fluttershy nodded and turned another page. "This is Princess Twilight Sparkle," she said, pointing at the picture of the purple alicorn "She is the princess of friendship. She used to be a unicorn until she gained wings, now she's an alicorn. She holds the Element of Magic, the important part of friendship."

"Wow..!" Aqua said in awe "She's amazing..!"

"Yup." Fluttershy said "Want to meet my friends?"

"Yes, mama." Aqua replied.

Fluttershy smiled and placed Aqua in her mane. "It's decided, let's go meet my friends." she said. She left her cottage and set her destination to Twilight's Castle.

Author's Note

It took a while to come up with the original story. My goal is to have my readers understand the origins of Aqua Butterfly. I'm looking forward to receiving feedback.

Chapter 2 - Princess Twilight

Fluttershy, with Aqua in her mane, arrived at Twilight's Castle. She knocked on the front door to see if Twilight was home.

"Who's there?" A voice asked.

"Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness." Fluttershy said. The front door opened, and they saw Princess Twilight Sparkle.

"Welcome back, Fluttershy." Twilight said, smiling at the the yellow pegasus pony.

"I have something to show you." Fluttershy said; she called her tiny daughter, "Aqua, come to my hoof."

As Aqua flew out of Fluttershy's mane and landed on her hoof, she saw the purple goddess smiling. "Are you Princess Twilight?" She asked.

Twilight looked closely at the tiny pony on Fluttershy's hoof. "Yes, I am." Twilight replied.

"Hi, Twilight," Aqua said "I'm Aqua Butterfly. It's very nice to meet you." She looked at the enormous eye of the goddess princess.

"It's nice to meet you, too." Twilight said, smiling at Aqua.

"Can I meet other ponies?" Aqua asked.

"Oh, of course." Twilight replied.

In the map room, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity were at the table, waiting for Twilight and Fluttershy to arrive.

"Hi, everypony." Twilight said.

"What's up?" Rainbow Dash said, smiling at Twilight and Fluttershy.

"I have something to show you." Fluttershy said, and showed the butterfly pony to Rainbow Dash.

"What the heck is that?" Rainbow Dash asked, surprised.

"Dashie, this is Aqua Butterfly." Fluttershy said.

"Hi, Dashie!" Aqua called, waving at the rainbow goddess.

"Oh, a pleasure to meet you, squirt." Rainbow Dash said, smiling nervously, "Where did you come from?"

"Mama's cottage." Aqua replied.

"Okay..?" Rainbow said, looking confused.

"Isn't Aqua adorable?" Fluttershy said.

"Yeah, I suppose." Rainbow Dash said. She looked at Aqua and said, "So, little squirt, who's your mama?"

"Her." Aqua said, pointing at Fluttershy.

"Yup." Fluttershy said.

Rainbow Dash was surprised about Fluttershy being Aqua's mother. "Isn't she kind of big to be your mother?" She asked the tiny pony.

"Size doesn't matter," Fluttershy said "Thank you for introducing yourself to Aqua, Dashie."

"You're... uh... welcome..." Rainbow Dash said in a nervous tone.

Fluttershy showed Aqua to Rarity.

"Who in Equestria are you?" Rarity asked to the tiny pony.

"Aqua Butterfly, daughter of Fluttershy." Aqua said, smiling at the beauty goddess.

Rarity chuckled and said, "I like how you rhyme, Aqua." She stopped chuckling and said, "Hold on, you're Fluttershy's daughter? You're awfully tiny."

"But I adore her." Fluttershy said.

"I see." Rarity said, "Well, Aqua, you sure are adorable."

Aqua blushed and smiled at the goddess, then asked, "Are you Rarity?"

"Of course, dear," Rarity said, "How did you know?"

"I saw you in mama's friendship book." Aqua replied.

"Oh, I see." Rarity said.

"I wonder, can you make a dress for me?" Aqua asked.

"Of course, dear," Rarity replied, "Good thing Twilight taught me the shrinking spell for clothing."

"Very convenient." Fluttershy said.

"Well, it's a pleasure meeting you, darling." Rarity said to Aqua.

Fluttershy showed Aqua to Applejack.

"What in tarnation is that thing?" Applejack asked in a surprised tone.

"This is my little daughter, Aqua Butterfly." Fluttershy said.

"Hi, Applejack!" Aqua called, waving at the farm goddess.

"Daughter? Shoot, ah wasn't aware of that." Applejack said, "Say, how the hay did ya become a mama?"

"I grew a flower back in my cottage." Fluttershy said. "Aqua was inside it."

"That's bizarre," Applejack said "Now ah'm a tad confused."

"Aqua refered to me as her mama," Fluttershy said "Those were her first words."

"Oh, I see." Applejack said.

"Got any apples?" Aqua asked.

"Ah saved one jus' for Fluttershy, or mama if ya prefer," Applejack replied, "But it's yours as well." She gave the apple to Fluttershy.

"Thank you, Applejack." Aqua said, then nibbled on the colossal apple. She saved the rest of the apple for the animal goddess, saying, "The rest is yours, mama."

"Thank you, Aqua, please steer clear from the apple so I won't eat you by accident." Fluttershy said. After seeing Aqua leave the apple and land on Applejack's muzzle, Fluttershy ate the rest of the apple.

"That was close, wasn't it, Aqua?" Applejack chuckled.

"It sure was, Applejack." Aqua replied.

"So, did you like mah apple?" Applejack asked to Aqua.

"Yes, Applejack." Aqua said, then flew back to Fluttershy's hoof.

"Thanks for sharing with Aqua." Fluttershy said.

"No prob, partner." Applejack replied.

Fluttershy showed Aqua to Pinkie Pie.

"Is this the 'Aqua Butterfly' Fluttershy was talking about?" Pinkie asked, looking closely at the tiny pony.

"Yes," Aqua replied, giggling at a massive eye of the party goddess "You must be Pinkie Pie."

"How did you know?" Pinkie asked "Let me guess, did you read Fluttershy's friendship book?"

"Yup." Aqua replied.

"Aww..." Pinkie cooed, looking at Aqua "Look how teeny weeny you are... I'm gonna put you on top of my cupcake and eat you up."

Aqua giggled at the titaness.

Fluttershy gasped and said to Pinkie, "Please don't eat my daughter, she's so precious."

"I'm just teasing." Pinkie said.

Fluttershy sighed in relief.

"Pinkie makes me giggle." Aqua said.

"Aqua is such a cutie, isn't she?" Fluttershy said.

"Yup." Pinkie replied, "I'm gonna set up a welcome party for Aqua."

"Please do." Fluttershy said.

The ponies were having a conversation and sharing opinions about Aqua Butterfly.

"It's so unusual for Fluttershy to raise a tiny pony as her daughter." Rainbow Dash said.

"I think Aqua is so adorable," Rarity said "It makes me feel like a goddess."

"Ah reckon that ah need to be extra careful when Aqua's around," Applejack said "Ah might step on her by accident."

"Seeing a tiny pony like Aqua made me feel like a giantess." Pinkie said.

Fluttershy nuzzled Aqua on her cheek, blushing.

"So, how is your meeting with Aqua?" Twilight asked to her friends. She heard comments and concerns about Aqua coming from her friends. "What's going on?" She asked. She looked at Fluttershy and said "Fluttershy, we need to talk."

"What is it, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

"You didn't tell me," Twilight said "You're a mother?"

"Yes, I was called 'mama' by Aqua." Fluttershy said.

"That's so weird." Twilight said, looking concerned "Does Aqua have an actual mother?"

"I dunno." Fluttershy said "The first time I saw her, she was inside a flower. I grew the flower from a seed that appeared out of nowhere."

"I see." Twilight said "Shall we follow the evidence?"

"Sure." Fluttershy said.

"I'll meet you at the cottage," Twilight said "I'll bring Radiant over."

"Okay." Fluttershy replied "Shall we go home, Aqua?"

"Sure, mama." Aqua said.

Fluttershy left Twilight's Castle.

Author's Note

I just like to challenge myself in writing more than a thousand words. I plan to make this story as adventurous as possible. See you next chapter.

Chapter 3 - Sir Radiant and Discord

Fluttershy and Aqua returned to her cottage, inside, she saw Discord, the draconequus and the spirit of chaos.

"Welcome home, Flutters." Discord said.

"Oh, hi, Discord." Fluttershy said.

"Discord?" Aqua asked.

"He's the draconequus." Fluttershy replied.

"I beg your pardon?" Discord asked, looking confused.

"Oh, want to see a special somepony?" Fluttershy asked nicely.

"Okay, make it quick." Discord said.

Aqua flew out of Fluttershy's mane and landed on her hoof. She looked at the most bizarre creature she had seen in her life, a draconequus. "W-W-Who are y-y-you?" she asked nervously.

"Who am I?" Discord asked "I am Discord, the spirit of chaos."

"D-D-Discord..?" Aqua shuddered.

"There's no need to be afraid, little Aqua," Fluttershy said, "Discord's nice."

"When I want to be." Discord added.

"By the way, the pony's on my hoof." Fluttershy said to Discord.

"Let me see." Discord said. He looked at Fluttershy's hoof but didn't see Aqua. He picked up a magnifying glass from Celestia knows where and looked closely at Fluttershy's hoof. He eventually found a tiny butterfly pony, who was waving her hoof and smiling. "Well, well, well," he said, "This butterfly-winged pony is microscopic."

"Oh, Discord, Aqua's not that small," Fluttershy said "I can see her just fine."

"Oh," Discord said, "Fluttershy, you're acting strange." He saw the smile on Fluttershy's face and asked, "Why are you nurturing this pint-sized pony then?"

"I'm her mother." Fluttershy said.

"Is this for real?" Discord asked. He shrank to Aqua's size and walked onto Fluttershy's hoof.

"How did you do that?" Aqua asked.

"You'll never know," Discord replied. He walked to Aqua Butterfly and asked, "Who are you, anyways?"

"I'm Aqua Butterfly," Aqua replied, "I was born from inside that flower." She pointed to the flower she was born in.

"That flower?" Discord asked.

"Yes." Aqua replied.

"Oh," Discord said, he then smiled and said, "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Aqua." He shook his "hand" with Aqua's hoof.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Discord." Aqua said.

Fluttershy heard a knock on the door. She opened it and saw two alicorns, one purple and the other, cyan. "Hi, Twilight. Hi Radiant." Fluttershy said.

"Hi, Fluttershy." Twilight said.

"I heard from Princess Twilight that you're raising a tiny pony as your daughter?" Radiant said to Fluttershy.

"Yes." Fluttershy said.

"Can I see her?" Radiant asked.

"Oh, yes." Fluttershy replied. She showed the tiny pony to Radiant.

"Mama, who's that pony?" Aqua asked, looking at the cyan titan.

"Aqua, this is Sir Radiant Sword," Fluttershy said, "He's an alicorn knight who can change size."

"Hi, Radiant!" Aqua said, "I'm Aqua Butterfly."

"A pleasure to meet you, Aqua." Radiant said.

"Radiant, can you turn small, like me?" Aqua asked.

"Maybe later," Twilight said, "Radiant has to focus on his mission."

"Mission?" Aqua asked.

"What mission?" Discord asked.

"To investigate the mystery of the seed," Radiant said. "Let me elaborate," he continued. "After hearing the shocking news from Princess Twilight Sparkle, I have volunteered to visit Fluttershy's Cottage to figure out where the seed for Aqua's flower came from."

"Sorry to interrupt," Discord said before asking a question "But are you the 'Radiant Sword' that Fluttershy was talking about?"

"Yes." Radiant replied.

"That RADIANT SWORD?" Discord asked.

"Of course." Radiant replied.

"Alright, please continue." Discord said.

Radiant continued his briefing, saying, "The seed, according to Twilight, was last seen on Fluttershy's table." He asked Fluttershy, "So Fluttershy, where did the seed come from?"

"I don't know," Fluttershy replied "I discovered it while I was doing my housework."

"We can visit Zecora, she may be able to help." Twilight said.

"Who's Zecora?" Radiant asked.

"She's the shaman of Everfree Forest." Twilight said.

"Oh, I see." Radiant said.

"Shall we depart for Everfree Forest?" Fluttershy asked.

"Sure." Radiant said.

"Mama, what can I do?" Aqua asked.

"You can ride in my mane." Fluttershy said.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Discord asked, "Let's hit the road." He returns to normal size.

Radiant, Fluttershy with Aqua in her mane, Twilight, and Discord leave Fluttershy's Cottage and head off to Everfree Forest.

Author's Note

Glad to have Sir Radiant Sword, my main OC, return to my story. Next chapter, Aqua's adventure begins for real.

Chapter 4 - A Trip to Everfree Forest

Fluttershy, Radiant, Twilight, Discord, and Aqua explored the mysterious Everfree Forest. The forest was full of strange and bizarre creatures.

"Mama... I'm scared..." Aqua shuddered, holding on to the animal goddess' mane.

"Don't be afraid, Aqua, mama's here for you." Fluttershy said.

Discord looked around the forest to see if there were any trouble-making creatures. Radiant and Twilight had their horns ready in case Aqua and Fluttershy were in danger.

"No sign of hostile creatures." Radiant said.

"That's good." Twilight replied.

Radiant saw the shadow of a cloaked pony. "Who goes there!?" He shouted, pointing his horn at the shadow.

The pony uncloaked herself, revealing a shamen pony that Twilight recognized. "Zecora?" Twilight asked.

"Welcome, welcome, my pony friends," Zecora said, asking with a rhyme, "Are you running any errands?"

"Actually, we're here to show you the tiny butterfly pony." Fluttershy said.

"Come with me." Zecora said.

At Zecora's hut, Fluttershy showed Aqua to Zecora, saying, "Zecora, this is Aqua Butterfly."

"Mama..? Who's that..?" Aqua asked, shuddering.

"My name is Zecora, a pleasure to meet you," Zecora said to Aqua, and then asked, "Are you, little pony, pleased to see me, too?"

"Maybe." Aqua replied.

"I appear to be Aqua's mother, Zecora." Fluttershy said.

"You're a mother of the butterfly pony? That's so odd," Zecora said, then asked, "Does it feel like that you're a god?"

"Excuse me, Zecora, but a proper term is 'goddess'." Discord said.

"I know." Zecora said to Discord.

"Yes." Fluttershy replied to Zecora's question.

"Mama the goddess?" Aqua asked.

"Yup." Fluttershy replied.

"By the way, Zecora, where do butterfly ponies come from?" Radiant asked.

"Beyond Everfree Forest is a secret domain; creatures there are never insane." Zecora said, "The butterfly ponies here are small and shy, but don't let your opportunity fly by."

"Good thing we have size magic." Twilight said.

Zecora nodded, and gave Twilight a map that showing the location the ponies needed to find.

"Good luck in your travels." Zecora said. "May your hopes not unravel."

The adventurers left Zecora's hut. They set off their journey to the hidden domain of butterfly ponies. Radiant used his horn as a radar to search for the secret domain. Discord searched high and low through the forest. Fluttershy kept Aqua protected from hostile creatures. Twilight was looking at her encyclopedia, seeking information on butterfly ponies.

"Hang in there, little Aqua." Fluttershy said.

"Yes, mama." Aqua replied.

"There's not a single entry about butterfly ponies," Twilight said, "They appear to be exotic."

"Anything?" Discord asked Radiant.

"No," Radiant replied. Suddenly his horn flashed green. "We're near the location," he said. He moved forward and his horn began to glow yellow. "It's getting closer." Radiant said. His horn flashed red and he found a very tiny door.

"Is that a door?" Aqua asked.

"Yes," Radiant said "It is very tiny."

"Mama, can I check?" Aqua asked.

"Of course." Fluttershy replied.

Aqua flew out of Fluttershy's mane and approached the entrance. "Hello?" She asked.

"Your name?" A voice asked.

"Aqua Butterfly." Aqua replied.

The entrance opened and a mysterious light flashed on Fluttershy and her friends. In an instant, they dissappered. Where were the ponies going?

Author's Note

Doing Zecora's dialogue is a challenge, so I thought about creating clever rhymes. Sorry if the chapter is shorter than usual, but next episode, we enter the mysterious realm.

Chapter 5 - The Hidden Kingdom

Fluttershy and Aqua found themselves in the mysterious realm. Fluttershy looked around and noticed that Twilight, Radiant, and Discord were missing. "Where is everypony?" Fluttershy asked.

Inside Fluttershy's mane, Aqua saw Radiant, Twilight, and Discord. She was surprised to find her once ginormous friends as tiny as herself. "Radiant?" Aqua asked, "Is that you?"

"Yes." Radiant replied, then asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know." Aqua replied.

"Aqua, why are you my size?" Twilight asked, she looked around in the forest of pink mane, "And what is this place?"

"Twily, this is mama's mane." Aqua said.

"But, how..?" Twilight asked.

"Don't tell me, we shrunk?" Discord asked. Aqua nodded.

"Fluttershy, can you hear me?" Radiant asked to the animal goddess.

Fluttershy heard a voice coming from her mane. "Radiant, is that you?" She asked, "Where are you?"

"Twilight, Discord, and I are inside your mane." Radiant replied.

"Oh, dear." Fluttershy said. She saw a tiny pony inside the flower, the same type she had grown back in her cottage. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm usually a very nice giantess to a butterfly pony." She said.

The butterfly ponies, which are Aqua's species, welcomed the kindhearted goddess.

Inside Fluttershy's mane, Aqua's wings began to glow. "What's happening..?" She asked. She peeped out of the goddess' mane and saw butterfly-winged ponies. "Wow..." She said in awe. She flew down to the ground and saw several butterfly ponies. "Hello." She said as she waved her hoof "I am Aqua Butterfly," She pointed at the yellow goddess, "And this is my mama, Fluttershy."

The butterfly ponies began to chatter with each other, sharing thoughts and concerns about having a towering goddess as a butterfly pony's mother.

"This gargantuan pony's her mother?" A butterfly pony asked.

"Is it even possible?" Another butterfly pony asked.

"Guys, can you help me?" Aqua asked, "I want to know who I really am."

"I'll help." A dragonfly-winged pony said.

"Who are you?" Aqua asked.

"They call me Skyward Strike." Skyward introduced himself to Aqua.

"A pleasure to meet you, Skyward." Aqua said, shaking hooves with Skyward.

"So, why are you here?" Skyward asked.

"To know how my seed wound up in mama's cottage." Aqua said.

"Okay..?" Skyward said in confusion, "Well follow me. I will take you to Princess Monarch Butterfly."

Radiant, Twilight, and Discord all nodded and follow Aqua and Skyward.

Fluttershy and her friends explored the swamp. It was a home to various animals and insects, like frogs, fish, butterflies, and dragonflies. The tiny ponies and Discord hopped on the lily pad, and Radiant and Twilight used their wings to help the lily pad get across. Aqua saw a huge frog on another lily pad. "Uh... mama..?" Aqua shuddered.

"Don't worry, little Aqua," Fluttershy said, "It's just a frog." The frog nodded and looked at Fluttershy. "Are you hungry, little frog?" She asked.

"Frogs eat flies, right?" Discord asked.

"Yes, Discord." Radiant replied.

"I can lure the flies." Discord said. With a snap of the draconequus' fingers, flies came out of the old log. The frog got excited and started lashing out its tongue to catch flies.

"You did it, Discord." Aqua said. Discord nodded. The frog smiled warmly at the butterfly pony. "Excuse me, Mr. Frog, will you kindly help us get to Princess Monarch Butterfly's kingdom?" She asked. The frog nodded and allowed the ponies to pass.

Radiant, Twilight, and their friends were in the meadow and saw the majestic tree.

"We are almost there." Skyward said. He and his new friends arrived at the kingdom of the butterfly ponies. "Welcome to the Meadow of the Tulips." He said.

"Wow..." Aqua said.

"It's so beautiful." Fluttershy said. She looked at Radiant, "Sir Radiant, can you shrink me down to Aqua's size?" She asked.

"Sure." Radiant said. He used magic to shrink Fluttershy down to Aqua's size.

"Wow, mama, you're as small as me now." Aqua said.

"Unbelievable." Skyward said, then asked, "Are you ready to meet Princess Monarch at the Grand Butterfly Tree?"

"Yes." Radiant said. He and his friends follow Skyward to the Grand Butterfly Tree. Inside the tree, there is an orange butterfly pony with a yellow mane and cute magenta eyes.

"Welcome, everypony. I am Princess Monarch Butterfly." Monarch said.

"Princess Monarch?" Discord said curiously, "What a corny name."

"I beg your pardon?" Monarch asked.

"Don't mind him, he's just being sarcastic." Fluttershy said.

"Sorry, your majesty." Discord apologized.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle," Twilight said "The princess of friendship who knows about generosity, honesty, laughter, kindness, loyalty, and magic."

"I'm Radiant Sword," Radiant said "I'm the knight of friendship who serves Princes Twilight and her friends."

"I'm Discord," Discord said "The spirit of chaos and disharmony; well, I used to be that way until Fluttershy reformed me."

"I'm Fluttershy," Fluttershy said "I'm the pegasus pony who holds the Element of Kindness."

"I'm Aqua Butterfly," Aqua said to Monarch, "I'm looking for my actual mother. This yellow pony was temporarily my mother, but Twily wasn't too sure about the idea of raising me."

"Can you excuse us?" Monarch asked to Radiant, Twilight, Discord, and Fluttershy "I want to talk to Aqua."

"Sure." Fluttershy said.

"Aqua, follow me." Monarch said.

Aqua follows Monarch to her bedroom.

"I want to tell you something," Monarch said, "Before Fluttershy raised you... I was your mother." Aqua was shocked. "Did the truth surprise you?" She asked.

"Yes," Aqua said, then asked "Can you tell me the story?"

"Yes." Monarch replied. "About five moons ago, we lived as a happy family. We played with insects and rodents, made meals together, and helped my kingdom. But everything changed when the mysterious bat-winged pony attacked; it was targeting you, Aqua. I transformed you into a seed and carried you through the Everfree Forest. I hid from enormous hostile creatures as I carried you. Eventually, I reached the homelike tree, where I saw a yellow pony doing her housework. She seemed devoted to even the tiniest creatures. Before she saw me, I placed you on the table, kissed you, and flew away."

"I see." Aqua said.

"I hope you are Fluttershy are getting along." Monarch said.

"Yes." Aqua replied.

Aqua and Monarch met up with Fluttershy at the table. "How's the conversation?" Fluttershy asked. Monarch told the same story to Fluttershy. "Oh, I see." She said.

"Were you a good mother when you raised Aqua?" Monarch asked.

"Yes." Fluttershy replied.

"That's good to know," Monarch said "Aqua can stay with you as long as she wants."

"Oh, thank you." Fluttershy said.

"You're welcome." Monarch said, smiling.

"Do you know the way back to my cottage?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes," Monarch said "The portal to your cottage is hidden in my bedroom. Follow me." Fluttershy and her friends follow the butterfly pony princess to her bedroom. Monarch pushed the book on the bookshelf, revealing a hidden entrance to the portal room. "Here's your way back to your cottage, Fluttershy." She said.

"Before we leave, here's your gift." Radiant said. He gave Monarch a rose with five leaves forming a star-shaped pattern.

"Oh, thank you." Monarch said.

"You're welcome." Radiant replied.

"Your mama loves you." Monarch said before giving a kiss on Aqua's cheek.

"We are going home!" Discord cried.

Fluttershy and her friends, including Aqua, stepped into the portal.

At Fluttershy's cottage in Equestria, a portal appeared. Fluttershy and her friends stepped out of the portal. Radiant used his magic to turn everypony, except for Aqua, back to normal size.

"Home sweet home." Fluttershy said.

"That was... Interesting." Discord said.

"At least we had fun," Twilight said, "And I have learned lots of information about butterfly ponies."

"That's good." Radiant said.

"I'm glad I got to stay with mama Fluttershy." Aqua said.

"Me too." Fluttershy said.

"Well, thank you for having us over." Twilight said.

"See you tomorrow." Radiant said. He and Twilight left Fluttershy's Cottage.

"Bye, Twilight. Bye, Radiant." Fluttershy said as she waved her hoof.

"Good heavens, look at the time," Discord said, looking at his pocket watch, "I gotta go to bed."

"Good night, Discord." Fluttershy said. She watched Discord disappear.

Aqua yawned. "Mama... I'm tired..." She said.

"Me too." Fluttershy replied. She kissed Aqua and felt her massaging her lips. "Good night, little Aqua." Fluttershy said.

"Good night, mama." Aqua said. She flew into Fluttershy's mane and slept. Fluttershy slept on her bed.

Author's Note

This chapter feels like I'm playing The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap again. Next chapter, Aqua goes on the fantastic voyage.

Chapter 6 - Fluttershy's Inside Story

The next morning, Fluttershy and Aqua woke up. The family of two ate breakfast together and began to think about a game to play.

"Mama, what game do we want to play?" Aqua asked.

"Oh, I know," Fluttershy said, "How about you explore my body?"

"Explore your body?" Aqua asked, "How does it work?"

"It's easy," Fluttershy said, "You walk on me, basically in my fur."

"Oh," Aqua said, "I suppose I'll give it a try."

"That's the spirit, little Aqua." Fluttershy said in encouragement. She lowered her hoof in front of Aqua. "Climb on," She said, "Your journey has just begun."

Aqua smiled and climbed onto Fluttershy's hoof, it is the size of a hoofball field to her. She climbed the towering leg of the animal goddess. It is a long climb for a tiny pony but she made it to the goddess' back. "Whew... what a climb..." She said. She took a break from exploring by eating a flower petal. It's a good thing she packed her snacks before exploring her goddess mother. After a few minutes, she continued her journey, going to the goddess' neck.

"Are you enjoying this, Aqua?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes, mama." Aqua said. She reached Fluttershy's mane and smiled.

"That's good to know." Fluttershy said. "Hey, Aqua, can you go inside my ear?" She asked.

"Why inside your ear?" Aqua asked.

"To see if you can explore inside me." Fluttershy replied.

"Okay." Aqua said, she flew into Fluttershy's ear.

"Inside me, you will encounter a creature that is even smaller than you." Fluttershy said.

"Okay." Aqua said.

As Aqua explored, she saw a strange creature that resembles Fluttershy herself. "What was that?" Aqua asked.

"Huh?" The creature asked in a surprised tone, "Who are you?"

"I'm Aqua Butterfly," Aqua said, "I'm Fluttershy's daughter." Aqua picked up the strange creature and asked, "Who are you?"

"Me? I'm Fluttershy's microbe, code FS-2081." a microbe said.

"F-S- Huh?" Aqua asked. She got confused by the big number on the microbe's codename.

"You can call me 'Shelby'." a microbe said.

"Sure," Aqua said with a smile, "Shelby it is, then."

Shelby smiled and nodded. "So, what are you doing inside your mama?" She asked.

"Mama wanted me to explore inside her." Aqua said.

"I see." Shelby said.

"Shelby, what do you do inside mama?" Aqua asked.

"I am in charge of getting foreign contaminants out of Fluttershy's body." Shelby said.

"What are those?" Aqua asked.

"They are basically germs and bad bacteria," Shelby said, "They are bad microorganisms that make you sick."

"I don't like being sick," Aqua said, "I can help mama if she's sick, though."

"Glad to hear, Aqua." Shelby said. She thought about the idea of having Aqua fight foreign contaminants inside Fluttershy's body. "Hey, want to visit mama's brain?" She asked.

"Sure." Aqua replied.

"Follow me." Shelby said. She led Aqua to Fluttershy's brain.

"Wow..." Aqua said in awe. She saw lots of microorganisms working inside Fluttershy's brain. "This is so cool..." She said.

"Inside mama's brain, information is stored." Shelby said. She saw Aqua nod with a smile. "Want to go to her spinal cord?" She asked.

"Yes, please." Aqua replied. She followed Shelby to Fluttershy's spinal cord.

"Welcome to mama's memory bank." Shelby said. She showed Aqua the memory of Fluttershy meeting Aqua for the first time.

"This is amazing," Aqua said, "I'm looking at mama's memories from the inside."

"But there is a vault for disharmonic memories." Shelby said.

"What is that?" Aqua asked.

"It is a vault containing horrible memories of mama was she as turned into an opposite being by Discord," Shelby said, "Under the spell, she was unkind and sarcastic, laughing at other ponies' misfortunes."

"Why would Discord do it to mama?" Aqua asked in a horrified tone.

"It was Discord's power of chaos," Shelby said, "He wanted to recreate Equestria in total chaos but he was defeated for the first time by Princesses Celestia and Luna. He came back for revenge but he was defeated for the second time by mama and her friends. In the end, Fluttershy and Discord became friends."

"Oh, I see." Aqua said.

"By the way, will you be my goddess?" Shelby asked, "The reason I asked that is because you were bigger than me but you're gentle to me just like mama."

"Um... Sure." Aqua said.

"Thank you, Aqua," Shelby said with a smile, "You're so kind to me."

"You're welcome, Shelby." Aqua said.

"Would you like to go with me to show you the primary functions of mama's body?" Shelby asked.

"Sure." Aqua said.

"Follow me, Aqua." Shelby said. She and Aqua went to Fluttershy's stomach. "This is mama's stomach," Shelby said, "Food breaks down in the stomach acid."

"So that's where food comes from." Aqua said.

"Correct," Shelby said, "After food breaks down, it goes to mama's small intestine. However, undigested food goes to the large intestine."

"And where does undigested food go?" Aqua asked.

"It's a secret to everypony." Shelby said.

"Okay." Aqua said.

Shelby guided Aqua to Fluttershy's heart. "This is mama's heart," Shelby said, "It is an important part of her body that keeps her alive. With exercise, the heart beats faster. So get plenty of exercise to stay healthy, Aqua."

"Thank you for your information." Aqua said.

"Before you leave, I have one more part of mama's body I would like to show you." Shelby said. "Want to visit her lungs?" She asked.

"Sure." Aqua said. She followed Shelby to Fluttershy's lungs.

"Here we are," Shelby said, "Welcome to her lungs. This is where oxygen is collected and carbon dioxide is taken out."

"I see," Aqua said, "Now I know how a body works."

Back at Fluttershy's brain, Aqua is getting ready to leave her mother's body. "Where's the exit?" She asked.

"In mama's mouth." Shelby said.

"Okay, thank you." Aqua said. She waved goodbye to Shelby.

"Bye, Aqua! Thanks for visiting!" Shelby called. She smiled as she watched Aqua leave.

Aqua went to Fluttershy's mouth. "Mama?" She asked.

"Aqua, is that you?" Fluttershy asked. She noticed that Aqua is on her tongue.

"Yes, it is," Aqua said, "Your microbe is very friendly to me."

"Oh, that's wonderful." Fluttershy said, then asked, "Do you want out?"

"Yes, mama." Aqua said. She saw Fluttershy's mouth open from the inside. She flew onto the goddess' hoof and kissed it.

Fluttershy blushed, feeling her tiny daughter's kisses on her hoof.

"I'm glad I have fun inside your body." Aqua said.

"That's good." Fluttershy said.

Author's Note

This chapter I wrote feels like a parody of Bowser's Inside Story and Fantastic Voyage. Next chapter, Aqua meets the trio of fillies.

Chapter 7 - The Cutie Mark Crusaders

Fluttershy heard a knock on the door. "Come in." She said. She saw the door open and it was her caregiver and friend, Radiant Sword. "Hi, Radiant." She said with a smile.

"Hi, Fluttershy," Radiant said, "Dark Sword and I are going to visit the Cutie Mark Crusaders." Dark Sword was the former enemy of Radiant Sword and the Mane Six. Dark blamed friendship for making him lose focus on magical studies in his past and wanted to shrink Equestria to a size of a golf ball and enslave everypony. But he was ultimately defeated by Radiant and his harmonic friends, the Mane Six.

"I hope you and Dark got along pretty well as of today." Fluttershy said.

"Yup," Radiant replied, "Starlight has tamed our greatest enemy, now he wants to make friends."

"That's wonderful, Radiant." Fluttershy said.

"Want to see Dark?" Radiant asked.

"Yes, please." Fluttershy replied. She looked at Aqua, "Aqua, want to meet another friend of mine?" She asked.

"Sure, mama." Aqua replied.

Radiant, Fluttershy, and Aqua left the cottage. They meet up with a dark pony who resembles Radiant Sword.

"Hi, guys!" Dark Sword called.

"Hi, Dark." Radiant said.

"Hello, Dark," Fluttershy said, "I've discovered something new."

"What is it, Flutters?" Dark asked.

Fluttershy showed the tiny butterfly pony to Dark. "This is Aqua Butterfly, my teeny tiny daughter." She said.

"What..!" Dark said in a surprised tone, he began to blush. "This... tiny thing... is... your... daughter..?!" He asked, laughing out loud.

"Hush, Dark," Fluttershy said, "She's so small, so please keep your voice down." She cuddled Aqua with her hoof.

"Sorry..." Dark said in a quieter tone. "Do you suggest I should be smaller?" He asked.

"Good idea." Radiant said. He used his magic to shrink Dark to Aqua's size.

Dark flew onto Fluttershy's hoof and saw Aqua. "Oh, you have butterfly wings?" He asked.

"Yup." Aqua replied.

"Allow me to introduce myself," Dark said, "My name is Dark Sword. The former enemy of the Goddesses of Harmony."

"Oh." Aqua said.

"But now I'm a friend," Dark said "And I'm looking forward to playing with the young goddesses."

"Me too." Radiant said. He shrank himself to the same size as Dark and Aqua.

"Ready to meet the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Fluttershy asked the tiny ponies on her hoof.

"Yes, please." Radiant said.

"I can't wait." Aqua said.

Fluttershy smiled and placed three tiny ponies in her mane. "Hold on tight, little ones." She said.

Fluttershy, with three tiny ponies in her mane, trotted to the Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse. She saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders. "Hi, girls." She said, smiling.

"Hi, Fluttershy." Applebloom said.

"Good to see you again." Sweetie Belle said.

"Are the Sword Rivals coming?" Scootaloo asked.

"They're here." Fluttershy said.

Radiant, Dark, and Aqua flew onto Fluttershy's hoof and saw the titanic Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"Oh, look at them..." Applebloom said.

"They're so adorable..." Sweetie cooed.

"Dark is even cuter when he's tiny..." Scootaloo said.

The tiny ponies blushed.

"Alright, Crusaders. Who do you want?" Fluttershy asked.

"I want Dark." Scootaloo said. She took Dark with her.

"I want a butterfly-winged pony." Sweetie said.

"Aqua Butterfly? Are you sure, Sweetie Belle?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes." Sweetie said.

"Please be gentle to her," Fluttershy said, "She's so precious."

"I will," Sweetie said, "I promise." She took Aqua with her.

"Have fun, Aqua." Fluttershy said.

"Well, guess Radiant is mine." Applebloom said. She took Radiant with her.

"Have fun." Fluttershy said with a smile.

Scootaloo brought Dark to the lake. "I'm glad I got to play with you." She said.

"Yeah, I guess," Dark said, "This is my first time playing with a godlike filly."

"It sure is, Darky." Scootaloo said.

"So, what do you want to play?" Dark asked.

"I know. How about you worship my hooves?" Scootaloo asked.

"Sure." Dark said.

"Alright, Dark," Scootaloo said, "You shall dub me 'Goddess Scootaloo'."

"Yes, goddess." Dark said. He kissed and massaged the pegasus goddess' hooves, hearing her moan. "Hope you like my massages." Dark said.

"I do, my loyal hoof servant." Scootaloo said.

"Glad to hear." Dark said.

Meanwhile, Sweetie Belle brought Aqua to Carousel Boutique. "Aqua, you're so cute and adorable..." She said.

Aqua giggled. "Thanks, Sweetie." She said.

"Want to see my dollhouse?" Sweetie asked.

"Yes, please." Aqua replied.

Sweetie brought Aqua to her dollhouse. "Here we are." Sweetie said.

"Wow," Aqua said, "I wish mama has a dollhouse like that."

"Fluttershy?" Sweetie asked.

"Yes," Aqua replied, "How did you know?"

"My big sister told me about it," Sweetie said, "I really like you, Aqua."

"That's sweet of you." Aqua said.

"There's a wardrobe in the dollhouse, so feel free to use it." Sweetie said.

"Thank you." Aqua said.

"You're welcome." Sweetie said.

Aqua flew into Sweetie's dollhouse and opened the wardrobe. It is loaded with fashion. She dressed up as a sunflower and looked at the mirror. "I look pretty." She said. Next, she dressed up as a princess. "Beautiful." She said. She then dressed up as a famous woodland tinker. "I look magical." She said.

Meanwhile, Applebloom bright Radiant to the Apples' House. "So, Mr. Radiant, how long did you enjoy being all tiny?" She asked.

"Since I became a test subject of Princess Twilight's shrinking spell." Radiant replied.

Applebloom placed Radiant on the table. "Tell me about your story." She said. She grabbed popcorn and listened to Radiant's story.

"I visited Twilight's Castle and became Twilight's shrunken knight," Radiant said "I served her and her friends as if they are goddesses to me."

"Cool..!" Applebloom said in interest, then asked, "Am I worthy of being your goddess, little knight?"

"Yup," Radiant said, "Any mare friend of mine that is way bigger than me is qualified to be my goddess."

"Okay," Applebloom said, then she saw Applejack and Big Machintosh come into her room.

"Howdy, Applebloom." Applejack said with a smile.

"Applejack, guess who's here?" Applebloom asked.

"Huh? Who is it?" Applejack asked.

"Hi, Goddess Applejack!" Radiant called.

Applejack looked on the table and saw Radiant. "Radiant? What the hay are you doing in mah house?" She asked.

"Applebloom brought me here and wanted me to tell her my story." Radiant said, "She's very interested in my adventures."

"That's wonderful t'hear, sugarcube." Applejack said with a smile.

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh said.

"So, how did you and Radiant defeat Dark?" Applebloom asked.

"We used Rainbow Power," Applejack said, "The same magic we used to defeat the evil Lord Tirek."

"And what happened to Dark?" Applebloom asked.

"He became Starlight Glimmer's servant." Applejack said.

"Radiant is so cool." Applebloom said.

"He sure is, Applebloom." Applejack said.

Applebloom saw the other Crusaders outside. The trio of fillies reunited.

"Dark is totally rad." Scootaloo said.

"Aqua is such a cutie." Sweetie said.

"Radiant is so awesome." Applebloom said.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders saw Fluttershy return.

"How is Aqua, Sweetie Belle?" Fluttershy asked.

"She and I got along really well." Sweetie replied. She gave Aqua back to Fluttershy

"That's good to know," Fluttershy said, "Thank you for playing with my itty-bitty sweatheart." She gave Aqua a nuzzle on her cheek.

"Want to see me and Dark normal sized?" Radiant asked to the cutie mark goddesses.

"Sure." Applebloom replied.

Radiant and Dark used their magic to grow back to normal size. "That is our usual size." Radiant said.

"Wow..." Applebloom said.

"I'm glad I got to play with giant fillies." Aqua said.

"Me too." Fluttershy said.

Author's Note

This chapter is fun to write. If you spot a particular reference, you can have a cupcake. Next chapter, Aqua gets to play with her insect friends again.

Chapter 8 - Captured!

Fluttershy brought Aqua back home. "It's so wonderful to see my filly friends get along with you, Aqua." She said.

"Yup," Aqua said, "Sweetie Belle is a very sweet filly."

"Yes, Aqua." Fluttershy said.

"And her dollhouse is very cozy," Aqua said, "I wish I could live in a dollhouse."

"That would be nice, little Aqua," Fluttershy said, "Anyways, want to play outside?"

"Yes, please." Aqua said.

Fluttershy brought Aqua to the meadow, she saw a familiar butterfly pony on a daisy.

"Oh, hello, Princess Monarch." Fluttershy said.

"Hi, Fluttershy," Monarch said "I just dropped by to see how your animal friends are doing."

"Are they nice to you?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes, although, a certain some bunny acts like it doesn't care." Monarch said, "Anyways, I am on scouting duty."

"Okay, what are you scouting for?" Fluttershy asked.

"A bat pony," Monarch said, "This ferocious pony is notorious for ruining crops and sucking up juice from fruit."

"I don't like the sound of it." Aqua said.

"Fortunately, the bat pony didn't target the meadow." Monarch said.

"I'm glad to hear." Fluttershy said.

"However, the bat pony is well hidden, so keep your eyes peeled for him." Monarch said.

"Can I search with you, Monarch?" Fluttershy asked.

"Sure," Monarch said, "Let's make sure Aqua is protected by your friends."

"Be careful, mama Fluttershy." Aqua said.

As Fluttershy and Monarch search for the mysterious bat pony, Aqua started playing with her insect friends.

"Wanna race?" Aqua asked her two dragonfly friends. The dragonflies nodded. Aqua raced with dragonflies across the pond, she was ahead of her winged insect friends. The butterflies were in change of calling the winner, they saw Aqua finish the race. The ladybug gave Aqua a crown made of flowers.

"That was fun," Aqua said, then asked "Wanna play the game of hide and seek?" The insects nodded. Aqua smiled and started to count while covering her eyes. The insects began to hide. "Ready or not, here I come!" Aqua called. She began to find her friends in the meadow, she found a butterfly in the tulip, a dragonfly under the grass, and a ladybug under the leaf. She's really good at hide and seek.

From the distance, a bat-winged pony heard giggling of the happy butterfly pony. "It appears that I found my prey." He grinned, then he heard stomping noises coming from the yellow goddess. "Drat!" He shouted, "Looks like I have to snatch my prey at night while that huge pony is distracted."

Fluttershy smiled and saw Aqua. "Did you have fun, little one?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes, mama." Aqua replied, she yawned.

"Are you tired, Aqua?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes, mama..." Aqua said, she flew onto Fluttershy's hoof and slept.

One night, at Fluttershy's Cottage, Fluttershy kissed Aqua before tucking her in her walnut shell cradle on the nightstand. Monarch kissed Aqua on her cheek. Fluttershy and Monarch sang a lullaby to Aqua. "Good night, little Aqua." Fluttershy said.

"Good night, mama." Aqua said. She watched Fluttershy and Monarch fall asleep and slept peacefully.

Later that night, a bat pony looked at the sleeping Aqua. "Excellent," He said, "Now's my chance to capture my prey." He took Aqua's cradle with him and flew away.

The next day, Fluttershy and Monarch woke up.

"Aqua, rise and shine." Fluttershy said with a smile. As she opened her eyes, she noticed that the cradle is gone. "Aqua?!" She gasped.

"What's wrong, Fluttershy?" Monarch said, she flew onto the nightstand and noticed the cradle's disappearance as well. "Oh, dear." She said.

"Aqua's gone." Fluttershy said, worried.

"Could this be the work of the bat pony?" Monarch asked.

"I don't know." Fluttershy said.

Author's Note

Oh, dear. Aqua Butterfly has been captured by the mysterious bat pony. Where did Aqua wind up at? Find out next time.

Endgame - Radiant to the Rescue

Radiant Sword, Dark Sword, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders visit Fluttershy's Cottage and they saw a very sad Fluttershy. Monarch Butterfly tried to cheer the animal goddess up.

"There's no need to cry, Fluttershy." Monarch said.

"What's going on?" Radiant asked.

"Aqua Butterfly is gone..." Fluttershy sobbed, "Last time I saw her, she was sleeping peacefully in the walnut shell bed and when morning came, she was gone, along with her bed."

"Oh, dear." Radiant said.

"Aqua's gone?" Sweetie asked, then began to cry, "This is making me sad..."

"Me too..." Scootaloo sobbed.

"I want to see Aqua again..!" Applebloom sobbed.

"Can it, Crusaders!" Dark shouted, "Who cares about her? She's just a butterfly pony."

Dark's comment made Fluttershy mad. "What did you say about my daughter?!" She snapped.

"Oh, sorry." Dark said.

"You don't believe that Aqua's my daughter, do you?" Fluttershy asked, she looked angry.

"Y-Y-Yes..." Dark said, being all wimpy.

"Now, now. No need to be upset." Monarch said.

"Fluttershy... accept my apologies..." Dark sobbed.

"Apology accepted, Dark." Fluttershy said.

"I will help you find Aqua Butterfly." Radiant said.

"Oh, that's wonderful, Radiant." Fluttershy said.

"Go save the damsel in distress like a knight in shining armor." Dark said with a smile.

Radiant used his magic to shrink himself and used his horn to uncover hidden hoofprints. "Fascinating." He said. He followed the trail that leads him out of the window.

Meanwhile, in the unknown location, the bat pony has tied up poor Aqua.

"Who are you? Where am I? And why did you kidnap me?" Aqua asked.

"I am Vampire Bat and you're in my home." Vampire said. His home is a bat cave and it is dark and creepy.

"Doesn't satisfly me." Aqua said. She is easily startled by Vampire Bat's looks. "C-Can I g-go home..?" She shuddered.

"I think not." Vampire said with an evil grin on his face.

"Why not?" Aqua asked.

"You won't be living with your mother anymore," Vampire said, "You will live in a place that rocks."

Aqua gulped in fear.

Meanwhile, outside of Fluttershy's Cottage, Radiant continued to follow the invisible trail of hoofprints. "Aqua..!" He called, "Where are you..!" He looked anywhere, inadvertently pushing the rock that actually works like a button. He saw the hidden trapdoor open, leading into the cave. He entered there. Inside the cave, there are spiders that are bigger than Radiant at his current size. "Hello..?!" He called.

Aqua, trapped on the spider web, heard Radiant's voice echo through the caves and recognized it. "Radiant?" She asked. With determination, the butterfly pony called Radiant. "Radiant!" She cried.

Radiant heard the echoing voice of Aqua. "Aqua!" He cried. He followed his ears to find Aqua. The louder the echo is, the closer he is to the damsel in distress.

Aqua looked up and saw the spider, making her whimper. "Radiant!" She cried.

Radiant saw Aqua stuck on the cobweb and about to be eaten by the spider. "Hold on, Aqua, I'll save you!" He yelled as he used his sword to cut the cobweb, setting the butterfly pony free.

"Thank you, Radiant, you're my hero." Aqua said as she hugged Radiant.

"You're welcome," Radiant said, "Let's get you home."

"Yay!" Aqua cried. She and Radiant galloped their way to escape from the spooky cave. Their joy is cut short, however, as Aqua saw the same bat pony again. It was Vampire Bat!

"Well, well, well," Vampire said, "What do we have here?"

"V-V-Vampire..!" Aqua shuddered.

"So you're the one that kidnapped Aqua!" Radiant cried.

"That's right." Vampire cackled.

"Why did you do this!" Radiant yelled in anger.

"Wow," Vampire said, "Your rage entertains me."

"WHY YOU?!" Radiant yelled. He started the fight with the bat pony.

Aqua watched the fight between the alicorn knight and the bat pony.

"You have to hit harder." Vampire said with a taunt.

"I won't let you go near Aqua!" Radiant shouted.

"Blah, blah, blah," Vampire teased, "Sorry, but this butterfly is mine and I will-" His speech is cut off when a colossal, indigo wall of fur landed next to him. The wall is actually Dark Sword's hoof.

"Dark?!" Radiant cried.

"Leave them alone!" Dark bellowed to the tiny bat pony.

Aqua felt terrified.

"It's alright, Aqua." Radiant said, giving Aqua a nuzzle.

"Go, Radiant and Aqua," Dark said, restraining Vampire with his hoof, "I'll teach this bat-winged pony a lesson."

Radiant and Aqua galloped away from Vampire Bat's Lair.

After seeing Radiant and Aqua flee, Dark began to teach Vampire a lesson.

"Tell me, what do you want with Aqua?" Dark asked.

Vampire said, "I want to rule the butterfly pony kingdom and-"

"Silence!" Dark yelled, threatening to crush Vampire with his hoof, "Either tell your story or suffer your fate!"

"Okay, I'll tell you," Vampire said, "It all started when I was a young bat pony. The butterfly ponies were invited by Princess Monarch to see the arrival of the newborn butterfly pony, but I wasn't invited. As I grew up to be a stallion, I made a plot to capture Monarch's daughter, but I was too late as soon as I saw a seed. I wanted to rule the butterfly pony kingdom. I'm very sorry..." He's in tears.

"I forgive you." Dark said.

"No more kidnapping for me..." Vampire sobbed.

"Can we be friends?" Dark asked.

"Friends?" Vampire asked.

"Yes, of course," Dark said, "We can hang out together."

"Oh, yes, please!" Vampire cried, hugging Dark's hoof.

Back at Fluttershy's Cottage, Fluttershy looked at Aqua's flower. "Aqua, I miss you..." She said.

"Please come home..." Monarch said.

Angel bunny played a sad song on the piano, he missed Aqua as well. The song was cut short when he heard a filly's cry.

"Fluttershy! Look who's back?!" Sweetie cried.

"Oh, my goodness!" Fluttershy cried, she rushed to Aqua's sleeping spot and saw two tiny ponies. She smiled.

"Hi, mama!" Aqua cried, waving her hoof.

"Oh, Aqua..." Fluttershy said, wiping her tears, "I'm so glad you're safe."

"It's all thanks to Mr. Radiant Sword," Aqua said, "He's my hero."

"Oh, thank you for rescuing my little daughter, Radiant." Fluttershy said.

"You're welcome, Goddess Fluttershy." Radiant said.

Monarch flew onto the table and smiled at Radiant. "Thank you for rescuing Aqua." She said.

"On my honor as a knight, Princess Monarch." Radiant said, bowing to the butterfly pony princess.

Fluttershy picked up the three ponies and kissed them.

"I love you, mama Fluttershy." Aqua said as she kissed and massaged Fluttershy's lips.

"I love you, Goddess Fluttershy." Radiant said as he did the same thing.

"Hmm... I'll give you a worship." Monarch said as she joined with others.

"I love you too, guys." Fluttershy said.

"Oh, Fluttershy!" Rarity called, "I've got a surprise for you and Aqua!"

"Oh, I love surprises." Aqua said.

"No peeking." Rarity said with a smile. She guided Fluttershy to where the surprise is. "You may open your eyes." She said.

Fluttershy opened her eyes and saw a dollhouse.

"Ta-da!" Rarity chirped.

"Wow..." Aqua said in awe. The dollhouse is inspired by the Grand Tree of the butterfly pony kingdom.

"It's wonderful." Fluttershy said.

"Amazing." Monarch said.

"I love it!" Aqua chirped. She flew into her new dollhouse and smiled at Rarity.

"I'm glad you do, dear." Rarity said.

"Enjoy your stay, sweetie." Fluttershy said.

Monarch flew into Aqua's dollhouse and gave her daughter one more kiss. "Mama loves you." She said.

"I love you too, mama." Aqua said.

"You may call me 'princess'." Monarch said with a smile.

"Yes, princess." Aqua said. She saw Monarch leave her dollhouse. "Goodbye, princess." She said.

Aqua was happy to live with Fluttershy, and the family of two lived happily ever after.

The end.

Are you surprised to see a villain? Me too. I hope you enjoyed this cute and heartwarming story.

Prologue - The Birth of Aqua Butterfly

One fine afternoon, Fluttershy was at her cottage caring for her animal friends, cleaning her house, and enjoying her peaceful life. She discovered a mysterious seed on the table. "Oh, my," She said "I don't recall having a seed on the table. Well, I'm putting it in the flower pot." The yellow pegasus took the seed and planted it in the flower pot; she used water, soil, and sunshine to help the plant grow. Time passed and the flower grew. "You'll be a happy flower in no time." Fluttershy said and gave it a kiss. The flower immediatly bloomed, and inside the flower sat a very tiny pony with butterfly wings.

"Where am I?" The butterfly pony asked; she had a green coat, cyan mane, and cute, blue eyes. She looked at the yellow goddess. "Mama?" She asked.

"Mama? No. I'm Fluttershy." Fluttershy said, blushing.

"You cared for my flower, like a mother." Aqua said.

"Okay, little one, I will be your mother." Fluttershy said.

"Yay!" Aqua cried "Hello, mama, I'm Aqua Butterfly."

"Nice to meet you, Aqua," Flutershy said "Welcome to your new home."

Aqua got on Fluttershy's hoof, which is wider than a hoofball field, and smiled at her titanic mother. "So, mama, what is this place?" She asked.

"This is my cottage," Fluttershy said "It is a haven of animals and insects."

"Wow..." Aqua said "I wish I could meet such creatures."

"Well, you're in luck, little Aqua." Fluttershy said.

Fluttershy took her tiny daughter to her meadow where animals and insects gather.

"Attention, my little friends," Fluttershy announced "We have a new family member," She raised the hoof with Aqua on it. "Meet Aqua Butterfly, my teeny tiny daughter."

The animals looked surprised, they didn't seem excited. Angel bunny just looked at Aqua and didn't care. Harry bear looked surprised to see a tiny pony on Fluttershy's hoof. On the other hand, the butterflies and other friendly insects welcomed Aqua's arrival.

"Hi, everyone!" Aqua called to Fluttershy's animal friends, waving her hoof.

"Thank you, everyone." Fluttershy said.

Aqua was happy with her new mother, her new friends, and her new home. She is so little that she can sleep in Fluttershy's mane. Fluttershy kissed her tiny daughter as Aqua embraced the lips of the kindhearted goddess.

"I love you, Aqua Butterfly, my teeny tiny daughter." Fluttershy said.

"I love you too, mama." Aqua said. She flew into the goddess' pink mane and slept in it. It was very comfortable for her.

Fluttershy slept in her bed, excited to start a new day.

Author's Note

Aqua Butterfly is the cutest of the OC's that I have created. I feel inspired to write a story about Fluttershy and my tiny OC. Hope you're looking forward to more of this heartwarming giant/tiny tale.
