Author's Note

Just an introductory to a small side-project I wanted to start.
This will probably be my least updated story, unless others like it.
I figured that there wasn't enough of 'Tiny Human and Princess Luna' pairing out there, so I'm making one!
Tell me what you think of the idea guys!

The Problem With Comunication

***A bit of information to start this off***

The pony world, is full of all kinds of animals, ranging from all kinds and sizes.

Humans had appeared in Equestria a long time ago, only to be dropped with the realization that the majority, that is about 90% of their population from earth, had appeared in a pony infested land. The drawback, was that although Equestria as a whole is a very adaptable to animals and monsters alike, the introduction of billons of sentient life to the ecosystem would have been catastrophic. So naturally, the planet readjusted the human race to fit on the planet, drastically reducing the height of every single human to about a Fourth of an inch tall. Mere ants in height, hell even some ants are bigger than them.

This reduced size had some payoffs though, as magic was introduced to the human race. As a naturally adaptive race, they grew accustomed to magic as a whole, growing more agile, and more dexterous for ones with such small stature. Although this did little to help the problem they had. Pony kind saw them as simple bugs, more or less a new species of annoying pest. Since they were so small, humans could never be heard by normal means. And any attempt at conversing with them was met with the same fate.

The underside of a hoof.

We find ourselves now, looking in on the lives and mishaps of a chance meeting, that would change the world as they all knew it.

***Back to the real world***

"Ooh, he has written back already!" A happy Princess Luna said giddily. She looked to her sister who was watching her with an amused smile.

"So your pen-pal is doing well?" Princess Celestia asked her sister. Her response was a beaming smile, and a light blush.

"Yes! When I sent out a pulse of magic a year ago, I sent a magic pen that would transfer all that was written with it to my head. I can then respond in kind. Over the year we have gotten quite close, he has even asked if we can meet!" Luna said with her smile like a little school-filly.

"Ah, I was wondering when I would be able to meet the pony that single hoofedly changed your speech when even I couldn't." Celestia said with a laugh. Luna's face contorted in focus, as she replied to her pen-pals last message. Quickly, another came, telling her the answer she wanted.

"It seems that he is close, he lives in Canterlot." Luna replied happily. "And yes, he did help, but to be fair.. You weren't a big help." Luna deadpanned as she started for the door. She turned to her sister. "I will bring him by, only after he has gotten over the fact that I'm royalty." She said while sticking her tongue out. Celestia sighed.

"You haven't told him yet?" She replied solemnly. A quick nod was all she got as a response as Luna opened the door.

*SPLAT*

"Ugh, another one? I hate those things!" Luna grumbled as she wiped off her hoof, a red streak appearing on the white marble floor. "Anyway, I'm off to have a date!" She laughed lightly as she closed the door with her magic.

Celestia let out a withered sigh, as she lit her horn up, and in a flash of gold magic, the remains of yet another human evaporated.

----In the Park: Human POV----

Well, this was it.

I was hiding under a bench, away from all the monstrous ponies. I was a bit afraid, but I sucked it up. I pulled out my pen and the paper I had kept on my person at all times. I wrote a quick message to Luna.

"I'm at the bench, are you on your way?"

I put the paper away, and let the pen sit in my hand as I twirled it around. I didn't remember where I had gotten it, but it was definitely magic. Anything I wrote with it disappeared after a few seconds, then after a few seconds a shock would usually run from the pen to my head through my arm. Where I would hear Luna's voice in my head. She sounded beautiful, let me tell you. At first I thought it was a joke, but after she explained why it happened.. Which was her telling me over and over that it was just magic, I just let it go, and continued writing to her. Surprisingly, we hit it off rather well. We both prefer the night, which is weird for a human, as nighttime usually means death to us. My love of the stars came out one night, and well, she found it amazing. From there it was all about how our days went, and what we liked. My day description was usually quick. I write to her, get food, go home, and collect as much stuff as I can on my travels. She found this interesting. She told me her days consist of talking to her sister, writing to me, and some form of court duty she has.

I felt the answer to my question ring through my head.

"Yes, I'm here now, where are you? I don't see you."

A loud thumping caught my attention. The sound of hooves approaching was all I could hear.

Really? A pony wants to use the bench, now?! No one ever uses this bench, I would know, it's my stakeout spot.

The stomping stopped, as I reached into my pocket to get my paper, as I did, the pony started to tap a hoof. The sudden trembling caused me to drop my pen. In my blind panic, I chased it down. It rolled, and rolled, as it stopped near a blue wall. I picked it up and went to write my response. The ground shook as she spoke loudly, in a huff.

"Where is he?" Her agitation, got me to move away as fast as possible. I hadn't even noticed that I was that close to her! I ran to the right back to the bench only for the hoof to tap once again, sending me sprawling onto the ground. I was a bit dizzy from the fall, but I tried standing. A shadow loomed over me, as I looked up. My face dropped, as I paled at the Blue hoof hovering over me.

" Ugh, another one?!" The voice from earlier called out, in anger. I jumped. Lurching my body to the right with as much force as I could. I rolled to a crouch as I'd done before, and started sprinting.

"I'm so tired of these things!" The voice said, as it seemed to be following me. My adrenaline rushed, as I dove to the left, avoiding another bare miss, as the wall of hoof landed behind me. I jumped back up and dove under the bench, hiding in some foliage near the leg. A huff of hot air told me the giant pony gave up. Breathing heavy, trying to slow my now jittery body, I pulled out the paper again. I answered her last message.

"Sorry about that wait, I almost died. Are you still around?"

I asked, hopefully Luna didn't get caught up in this giant mares rampage. I looked around, and didn't see anybody else around me, I was really dreading today already.. And I hadn't even started my rounds for food yet!

A rumbling caught my attention, as I felt the pony from before turn around in confusion, and in an concerned voice, called out.

"Almost died? Surly he jests. I see no monster nearby." The giants worry dripped into anger. A few seconds later the buzz flew up my arm again.

"If you didn't want to meet, you could have just said so!"

I was confused.

She sounded angry. Does she not know how dangerous being out here is for the both of us?! I quickly wrote back.

"If you had just picked a better spot, then this pony wouldn't have almost killed me! Being out in the open is bad, remember?"

I was now getting agitated. If this woman freaks out anymore, then I might just go home. I mean really, I may like her, and this may have been what was supposed to be a first date but-

I was interrupted from my inner monologue by the pony in front of me. She was fidgeting, and mumbling to herself. Thanks to my small size, I could hear her quite clearly.

"Pony? Killing?! ..No.. It can't be.. But it would be the only reason.." This pony was nuts!

The ground shook violently. The pony had just laid down on the ground in front of the bench. Ah shit, was she still trying to kill me?

"N-Nero? If your down there.. Come out. I wont hurt you." The pony spoke, in a softer voice than what she spoke in earlier.

...What

T-That can't be right. She cant be a pony!

But it all makes sense now! The pony came here looking for somebody, I couldn't find the person I was here to meet. She's been reacting to my messages..

I looked out at the giant mare, and noted her eyes were confused, yet scared. They were also darting around as if looking for something.

Oh, right!

I gently, and cautiously made my way out of the brush I was hiding in. Her eyes honed in on my diminutive form, and the concern on her face dropped a little, a small, thankful smile appeared on her face. I made my way out towards her face, my heart beating like a jackhammer. My every instinct honed from years of running from ponies were telling me to run. A breath escaped her mouth as she sighed, the gust enough to send me skidding back a few feet. She seemed to notice that, and made an effort to stop it from happening again. She gently placed a hoof next to me, and looked to me expectantly. When I made no move towards it, she blinked, and whispered as gently as she could, as to not blow me around again.

It's alright, I promise, no harm will come to you." Her voice was soft, and silky.. I liked it.

I suddenly realized that I hadn't moved at all. I put on my brave face, not that she could see it, but I did it anyway! I jumped onto her hoof!

..And proceeded to sink into her almost quarter inch tall fur. It felt nice, soft, and generally pleasant. She was so warm too! As a human, we had adjusted to being cold due to our size, our core temperature dropping slightly, so we didn't freeze.

Luna gently lifted me up to her eyes, as she squinted to see me. I raised my arms and waved around to get her attention. She smiled, as she looked me over as much as she could.

"So your a pony?"

I wrote, trying to make light of new developments. I looked at her face, as she looked at me. It went through so many stages I couldn't keep track of all the emotions I saw. She simply nodded after a moment. She brought me down, and away from her face, So I could see more of her than just eyes and the occasional facial feature.

"And you are a human?" Her silky whisper rolled over me, and for the first time I felt comfortable in a ponies presence. I took out the paper, and with a devious smile, I etched out my answer and my next question.

"Yes I am. Since you didn't kill me, how about that date? You still up for it?"

Luna got my message, and another flurry of emotions crossed her face, until it settled on the same face I just had. Oh? I feel like we're getting back to where we were before we met. Saying how you feel is one thing, but when you joke around, you know your comfortable with the person your hanging out with.

"Are you sure you can handle me, human?" She said, her voice both loud yet gentle, blowing me over gently from the vibrations. I laughed as I pulled myself up, and looked up at Luna's smirking face.

Sure, starting out this may be a bit hard to adjust. But the idea that a human can speak to a pony without getting stepped on was amazing to me.

Let alone if its Luna. She seems to have gotten over the fact that I'm human rather quick.

Yeah, I'm willing to try this, we have so much in common! Well, aside from the obvious facts. The only way this could end badly is if I die. What are the chances of that happening with Luna around? It sure will be funny to see other ponies react to Luna taking a human out to lunch.

"After you M'lady."

Luna's chuckle jostled me around as she started to move, she constantly kept an eye on me. Her Sapphire eyes full of wonder, and questions. Looks like this will be a fun date after all.
