Learn to Small Things

“Trixie, can you please walk slower? I’m having trouble holding on”, Sarlight asked from atop Trixie’s head.

“I could swallow you again”

Starlight held Trixie’s soft mane tight, recalling just how warm it was inside of her friend, but, that was a one time thing… right? “I-I’ll be fine Trixie just get me to Twilight.

Trixie continued through the castle, a little depressed that Starlittle hadn’t accepted her offer of another trip. But all good things must come to an end, so Trixie trotted her way up to the map room, where Twilight sat waiting.

The mares were unaware that the map had been tracking them since last night, or that Twilight was watching as their icons made there way across town and into the castle.

As they entered, Twilight smiled to them from her seat across room. “Hey Trixie, you and Starlight have a problem?”

“Trixie is fine, but Starlight needs your magic”, Trixie explained as she made her way around the large table and over to Twilight.

“Where is she then?”

Trixie bent her head down and a tiny Starlight emerged from her mane.

“Hi Twilight, can you give me a hoof?”

“She’s… so… CUTE!”, Twilight exclaimed, yanking Starlight out of Trixie’s hair and pressing the tiny pony against her cheeks. “Starlight you’re so adorable!”

Twilight then turned to Trixie, “How did this happen?”

“Trixie may have used a shrink spell on her”, Trixie admitted.

“A shrink spell? Since when do you practice magic Trixie?”

“Starlight taught me!”

Twilight turned back to Starlight. “Ok so what’s the problem?”

“I didn’t teach her how to un-shrink”

Twilight’s eyes went wide as a concerned look replaced her cheerful smile. “How long have you been like this?!”

“About twelve hours”, Starlight responded.

Twilight set Starlight down on the map table and leaned back in her chair. “I’m sorry Starlight but the only pony who can un-shrink you now is…

The two looked at Trixie, who turned around herself, vainly hoping there was somepony standing behind her.

“You’ve got to be kidding me”, Starlight groaned.

“Fear not Starlittle, The great and powerful Trixie shall quickly learn this un-shrink spell and return her friend to her normal(but not as cute), size.

“I’m gonna be like this forever arn’t I?”

“Don’t worry Starlight, I’ll teach her”, Twilight petted Starlight in an attempt to sooth her, an action which only added insult to injury regarding her current stature.

Twilight got up and placed a small stone on the ground by the door. “Alright Trixie, Starlight is counting on you to do this right.”

Trixie stood attention and made a salute, which made Twilight roll her eyes. Moving behind her, Twilight explained the spell.

“It’s simple really, just the reverse of what you did to Starlight, but you’re going to need alot more power and focus. Look at that stone and imagine it growing into a mountain, then, hit it with everything you’ve got”

Trixie stood stoically, in a state of such focus that would have made a monk jealous. Her horn ignited and the aura grew larger, taking perfect form as Trixie struggled to contain the growing energy. She then let the spell lose and struck the stone with precise aim.

Nothing happened at first, but after a moment the stone began to shake and wobble. Then suddenly, it grew, increasing it’s size to rival that of tom’s.

After giving it her all, Trixie opened her eyes to find she had done it. She had managed to cast the spell successfully. The realization that she was now able help her tiny friend almost brought the proud magician to tears, but she held it together and simply turned to a very impressed Twilight.

“Good enough?”, Trixie asked.

Twilight smiled and turned to Starlight, who had been silently cheering her friend on from atop the table. Looking back at Trixie, Twilight pointed over to to Starlight. “Go ahead, give it a shot.”

Trixie marched over to Starlight and leaned down to her. “You ready?”

“Do it Trixie, I trust you.”

Her horn ignited once more, and Trixie’s beam of magic enveloped Starlight. She felt a warmth fill her body as her giant friend became smaller and smaller.

“It’s working!”, Starlight cheered. “Keep going Trixie!”

Trixie held out for another six seconds before her magic was drained, and she fell to the floor exhausted.

Inspecting herself, Starlight found she was back to her normal size. Trixie had done it.

Starlight quickly climbed down from the table to aid her tired friend. As Trixie lay there panting, Starlight and Twilight rubbed her back, they were both so proud of the girl.

“Good job Trixie.”

“It was * pant *, nothing for the great * pant *, and powerful… * snore *”

Trixie fell asleep, right there on the cold stone floor. Casting such a powerful spell twice was all the mare could handle. Starlight and Twilight giggled as they picked Trixie up, and carried her off to a warm bed.

“Soooo, did you and Trixie do anything while you were all small and cute?”, Twilight asked.

Starlight pointed to Trixie’s belly on her sleeping body.

“She did not!?”

Starlight nodded her head. “I kinda let her. It was really nice actually”

“Would you maybe… let me sometime?”, Twilight blushed.

Starlight smiled and looked forward down the hall.

“Maybe.”
