Trixie was in her wagon when she heard a soft knock at the door, of course she opened it and saw a can of soda at her doorstep and a note, the note was surrounded in her pink aura and levitated to her eye level.
”A drink of soda from a friend?” She looked for who it was from, but it didn’t say.
She started to think and assumed it was from Pinkie or Starlight, she shut the door behind her and opened the can of soda. Before taking a sip, she sniffed the drink just to be sure.
”Smells like soda” She also took a sip, “And tastes like it...”.
She shrugged and glugged the whole can of soda down her mouth, she enjoyed the fizzy and sweet taste. Once the entire thing was empty, she gave a small burp and blushed in embarrassment.
“Excuse me...” She whispered.
The can went straight into the trash, and she yawned, she stood there, her hooves felt heavy, and she felt tired.
“Why is Trixie so tired? It’s not even... Nine-“, Trixie, let out another yawn before falling asleep standing up.
—🌱—
Trixie opened her eyes to see she was in complete darkness, she looked around a bit scared, where am I? She muttered as she looked around, she lit her horn up to let out a little light. What she saw in front and all around her was some sort of purple material? She touched it and it was soft and light.
“Puh-lease! Some material won’t stop the amazing Trixie!” She boasted with a chuckle.
She put her hooves under the material and lifted it slightly, she crawled underneath and on the other side she looked around and saw that she crawled from under her hat. It confused her on why her hat had gotten so big, she stepped over some more purple material as she explored her surroundings using her eyes.
“Why is my wagon so big?” She asked.
She then noticed her cape on the floor where she was just standing, she walked up to it and noticed she was around the same size as the gem on the front, which itself was around the size of her hoof, which means she was the size of a pony’s hoof.
Being Trixie, she admired her reflection in the gem for a few minutes, forgetting that she was now tiny. The note still laid on the ground, so she trotted over to it and had a look, she noticed some more letters that seemed to have appeared recently.
‘Actually, it’s a potion that will make you shrink! - Love Discord’.
“Wait! What!?, Discord!” She shouted.
There was something Trixie wouldn’t lie about through, she sort of thought that her voice would have changed to be squeakier. Right now she needed help, she knew from whom, but she looked around and didn’t see any easy way to exit her wagon. The door was closed and there were no chances in opening it due to her small size.
She looked up at the window and noticed it was slightly open, she required a way to get up there, but how? Trixie looked around and had an idea, she tried to teleport herself up into a box, but it failed as she wasn’t wonderful at teleportation. She tried again, but concentrated hard. Her eyes were closed and focused on the top of the blue box next to her hammock.
“C’mon, teleportation spell...” She focused, her horn lit up, “Go!” She shouted only to pen her eyes with disappointed.
“Teleportation spell go!” She shouted angrily.
Trixie knew she needed to calm down, she took breathes in and out and focused on that one spot. Her horn lit up as she stood there and concentrated on where she wanted to go and only that. For a second she felt her hooves on nothing then back on wood, she opened her eyes slowly hoping it was going to work.
She looked down and saw the exact blue shade of the box she wanted to be on, her horn felt a bit warm, but she didn’t care. Trixie admired the view a bit and started bouncing up and down happily like a foal who just gotten their cutiemark.
“I did it! I did it! I really- Wragh!” She exclaimed, when she fell off, she hung on the edge with her hoof.
Trixie looked down at the ground, it looked so high up, that fall would hurt for sure. She felt beads of sweat drip down her face as she grabbed on the edge with her other hoof. As she pushed herself up with her front legs she made whimpering noises, when she finally was back on the box she face planted.
She scolded herself in her head, ”That was close! Way too close... Don’t horse around”.
As she walked to her hammock that was right near the window, she noticed the huge gap and sighed, that would be quite tricky... She needed a plan, she couldn’t jump as there was a risk and the hammock was noticeably higher than the box. She noticed a tall clear vase full of water near her.
Trixie got on her hind legs and started to pull the vase to the edge of the box, she put it on the very edge and smiled proudly, this was it, she was almost out. She knocked it over and the other end laid in the edge of her hammock, she jumped a bit in excitement and got ready to walk across.
Well, the moment she stepped on the whole thing fell down the gap, her high-pitched scream was followed by the sound of shattering glass.
—🌱—
Trixie was now back on the blue box with a few small cuts as a result of that mess up, she walked back to the gap and groaned in annoyance, she slapped herself in the face with her hoof, she could have easily teleported over! It was even a shorter distance between the ground and the box she was standing on, why didn’t she just teleport?
Now wasn’t the time for her to scold herself, she needed to get out and get Starlight! She concentrated on her spell again and teleported onto her hammock.
“Finally!” She shouted.
She walked round on her hammock, it felt kinda like she was floating on air since it was in midair, she made her way to the part closest to the window sill, she teleported once again. All the teleporting was wearing her out, she blew up at her horn to cool it down and sat down to relax.
”No! We must get Starlight and get to the bottom of this!” She said in her thoughts, the gap under the window was just enough for her to squeeze under. She chuckled when she poured her back half through and stood on the other side, proud of what she had accomplished.
“Was there ever any doubt?” She asked no one.
If only she noticed how high up her wagon is and remembered that she was shrunken before taking her next step that led her doing flips in the air while falling a high drop and landing face-first into a mud puddle. She lifted her head and slapped her hoof angrily, she looked up and growled.
“Great!” She shouted.
Trixie slowly walked out the puddle, She was completely drenched in mud, she shook it all from her fur once she got out of it. It wasn’t really graceful that she landed face first in something so icky and smelly, but don’t worry, it was just mud. She walked through the grass, it was so long to her, she lifted her legs high to get through.
The blades of grass tickled her belly, causing her to flinch, she snorted a bit. Not to mention that the grass was a bit damp, she really did not find it pleasant as she walked through the grass and looked tip to the distance. She needed to get through Ponyville first, she slapped her face again, why didn’t she stop next to Twilight’s castle like she usually does?
—🌱—
Trixie trotted through Ponyville, nopony seemed to have noticed her yet. A stallion ran right towards her, she didn’t know what to do, her heart raced, and she froze in fear! His hoof crashed down onto the ground right next to her as he ran over her, it caused her to yelp in fright, but the stallion didn’t seem to hear.
“Rude!” She shouted.
It was dangerous to be as small as she was and walk through a busy village, a runaway apple rolled towards her. She jumped in attempt to avoid it but ended up on top, she ran as it rolled trying to not fall from it, she couldn’t control the direction it was going but at least it was fast.
She ran as fast as she could while on top, then she saw a plank acting like a ramp, she went flying through the air as she fell off the apple when it went over the lifted plank. Trixie screamed as she flew through the air, then she had an idea.
“Hmm... Maybe-“
She managed to say before landing right into somepony’s ice cream sundae, the taste of chocolate filled her mouth as she poked her head it, she saw the owner, a young purple unicorn filly with a yellow mane look at her, the poor thing looked so scared and confused.
“Uh... Hello... You’re Dinky, right?” Trixie asked, a bit sheepish.
Dinky screamed and ran off, crying, “There’s a rat stealing my ice cream!”.
Trixie pulled herself out and growled, “Rude... Who dares call Trixie a rat!?”.
Once again she fell from the table not realising how high up she was and landed on her back this time. She sighed, this wasn’t going to be easy, was it?.
—🌱—
Trixie’s long and tedious journey continued, she made sure to stay out of harm’s way, but she was still almost stomped on or kicked by hooves accidentally. Also, the dust clouds kicked up by hooves weren’t very pleasant to have to walk through, the dust stung her eyes.
She started to gallop through, but she ran too close to another running pony, they kicked her by mistake in the face before she could see who it was. But whoever they were stopped when Trixie crashed on the floor, he put her hoof on her nose in pain.
“Oh my! I didn’t mean to hit you, small critter” The voice said softly before turning around, “I didn’t see you there”.
Then the figure gasped as Trixie got up, she saw a yellow pegasus towering over her with a surprised expression. It was Fluttershy! Why was she running so fast for? Trixie grumbled annoyed as Fluttershy picked her up in her hoof, she sat in the hoof perfectly, she pouted a little.
Fluttery had concern in her voice, “Trixie? Why are you so small? Did something happen, do you need some help?” She asked.
“No! The great and powerful Trixie knows what she’s doing!” Trixie shouted.
“But it’s too dangerous! I already kicked you over, and you don’t look like you’re in a very good shape! At this size you could get very badly hurt, somepony might not see you and-“.
“I figured” She mumbled.
Fluttershy slowly flew through Ponyville before Trixie knew it, she looked down at the ground, she was not very high up but still higher than a pony.
“Where are you taking me!?” Trixie whined like a foal.
“To Twilight to figure this out, she’ll help you!” Fluttershy sounded a bit stern.
Trixie gasped in shock, “No! I do not need help!”.
As Fluttershy flew over a fountain, Trixie jumped in to escape from her clutches, she dived straight into the water. Fluttering gasped and panicked in response, she flew down and searched for Trixie among the blue fountain water. The ledge of the fountain was a bit high and slippery, when Trixie grabbed it, she would simply fall down back into the water.
Every attempt of grabbing the ledge and pulling herself out would end with her back in the water, she swam around hoping for a way out. Soon enough, two yellow hooves gently grabbed on her and hugged her close as she hovered above the water.
“See! You couldn’t get out, can you imagine if you fell in and nopony was around to help?” Fluttershy scolded.
Trixie threw a slight hissy fit by angrily waving her hooves around, she snarled at Fluttershy, but she ignored her. She sighed in defeat when she simply was brushed aside and carried through the village, thanks to the water making Trixie wet and slippery it gave her an idea when she slipped a little from Fluttershy’s grip.
She wiggled and wiggled and got herself free, she fell onto the ground, Fluttershy tried to grab her but wasn’t fast enough. Trixie landed on her belly, but quickly got to her hooves and started to run. She tried to throw Fluttershy off by running under tables and other ponies, but she still kept up.
Trixie ran so fast, she saw a turn and ran around the corners she saw a small box that would have hid her perfectly, so she went straight under it. From a small hole she could see the pegasus, hopefully she didn’t see her hide in the box. Unfortunately, she did; the moment Fluttershy lifted the small box with a stern expression, she saw Trixie squeak like a mouse and run right into her hooves.
“Aaaaaaargh!” Trixie screamed angrily as she was carried all the way through the village.
Fluttershy knocked on the door of the castle, much to Trixie’s hope it was Starlight who opened the door, she invited Fluttershy inside, she didn’t seem to notice the small mare in Fluttershy’s hooves.
“Starlight!” Shrieked Trixie.
“Trixie?” Starlight exclaimed as she looked around in confusion.
Trixie tried to alert her, “Over here!”.
“Where I can’t see you-ooooh...” Starlight stared at Trixie in shock, she was standing in Flutterhy’s hoof, legs crossed angrily.
“What the?” Starlight managed to say, “Trixie, why are you tiny?”.
“Discord...” Trixie scowled.
“No surprise” Starlight shrugged.
Twilight and the rest of the Main Six walked right where Starlight was talking, Twilight looked around with confusion before seeing Trixie in Fluttershy’s hooves.
“Don’t-“.
Rainbow Dash fell to the ground and started to laugh, same with Pinkie.
“Laugh” Growled Trixie.
Twilight gave a bit of a chuckle, “Trixie-hehehe what happened?”.
“Discord” Trixie and Starlight replied in unison.
“But it’ll be okay, Starlight and Twilight should know the spell...” Fluttershy gave Trixie a gentle pat on the head, only for her to growl like a cat.
“Put me down!” Trixie shouted.
“I’ll get Discord” Fluttershy said as she put Trixie onto Starlight’s back.
—🌱—
Trixie sat on a table while pouting, Starlight, Spike and the Main Six, except for Fluttershy, looked at Trixie with awe. Pinkie booped Trixie softly.
“Awww, she’s like a mousey!” Pinkie exclaimed.
“She's just looking so darling, If this is permanent I have so many outfit ideas for you” Rarity commented.
Twilight smiled, “But it isn’t, Discord will fix this!”.
Rainbow Dash laughed, “The great and powerful, huh? More like the tiny and harmless!”.
Applejack replied a bit nervously, “Well... I hope Discord removes this soon... Being this small is no fun, ah’ know from experience y'all”
Discord did enter soon, he was laughing, Fluttershy was smiling a little, but it turned into a serious face when she pointed at Trixie.
“Don’t worry ponies, this potion only lasts a few hours” He summoned a can of The potion he used, it was brown with a label that described it, “I disguised it as a soda drink”
Everyone smiled happily, but them were confused when Discord looked at it and his eyes went bigger than his head and his jaw went to the floor.
“Is something wrong?” Fluttery asked.
Discord shook his head, and it went back to normal, “How much did Trixie drink?” He asked.
Trixie was a bit worried, “The whole... can?”.
“I may have made an error... Well... The lord of chaos isn’t perfect” He exclaimed.
Applejack stomped her hoof in anger, “What kind of error?”.
“Welll...” Discord said a bit nervously, “I thought Trixie would have only been tiny for a few hours, but the can says otherwise... It depends on how much she drank, a few sips would be a few hours.... But the whole thing is... Six months”.
“Six months!?” The whole room exclaimed.
Rainbow Dash snatched the can, “Gimme that!”.
She read it and cringed slightly, “He’s right...”.
Trixie stood there, eyes open wide, jaw down and ears drooped. Everyone looked at her as her eye twitched, she let out a loud scream.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
