Catching Micro May at the very tail end here, I had this finished for about a week and a half now but wanted to do a story for it and unfortunately never got around to it from being busy and been sick currently… Thankfully My adorable bestest friend FliegerFaustToP47 was able to help me finish it. I did tweak it a bit but it was a very much combined effort between the two of us<3
A giant sized gray coat, brown mane unicorn fidget nervously, but at the same time try to keep still not to squish anything else as the tiny ponies moved past back and forth blow him on the streets even if they were keeping a wide burst from the scene of a destroyed pony drawn cart and quite a lot of crushed cabbages. The owner of the cart and cabbages were currently engaging in a conversation with a black Mane and coats Pegasus Mare, who was calming down and compensating the distraught cabbage Pony for the accident. “It’s fine sir. I know this looks really bad but I can assure you; you’ll be reimbursed for property damages. Trust me, I’m a guard, we’ll get the papers signed up and this will be over quick” The black Pegasus said, looking at the poor vendor mourning about the destruction caused towards his poor cart, as he stared towards Dust’s hooves, mainly some of the green destroyed vegetables still trapped and squashed underneath them. “Here, this is my Royal Guard badge, I’m just not on duty at the moment. Now, let’s see… Do you have the papers of your cart so we can solve this? I promise you’ll get paid back by the crown” Eclipse, with a calm, professional voice, tried to reassure them that everything was alright, while Dust embarrassedly looked at the scene, not daring to move to not cause further harm.
“I’m very very sorry!” He spoke softly, while the royal guard of the two managed to pacify the situation and provide the vendor with a solution. After some nodding and agreement, Eclipse looked back at Dust, with a bit of a smug smile, prideful of accomplishing her duty and saving Dust’s flank at the same time “Heh… you should be thankful you have a Royal Guard as one of your friends. Now… don’t you think you should shift to… uh… a more ‘appropriate’ size?” She spoke, looking at the towering stallion looming over buildings and ponies effortlessly. The alluded unicorn remembered that he indeed could use his magic to shrink back down, and blushed, a bit embarrassed. “A-ah… right I probably should really do that… hehe” Focusing immediately on the task at hoof, he started to channel his magical energy, the pointy horn in his forehead shimmering with a blue glow as it showcased the telltale sign of arcane unicorn abilities being utilized.
Soon enough, his body started changing its size, his height lowering and lowering as he became smaller. Now the monumentally big Dust was becoming more pony-sized. Eclipse couldn’t help but stare in admiration and proudness at her lifelong friend performing the magic his Cutie Mark demonstrated once again this time just in reverse. But after some seconds, she realized he was going too far as he passed her height and kept going. “Hey ummm… Dusty, I think you can stop now?!” She said a little panicked, but he had already shrunken down all he wanted… and way more than that. His tiny little body was now smaller than the cabbages sprawled in the floor, and the little unicorn blinking in confusion having to look up at his childhood friend now towering over him instead as Eclipse’s black wing came down slipping up under him and lifting him up to her face, half for his safety and to take a closer look. Apparently, Dust, in a bit of a rush to get back to a normal size, and due to his inexperience in his magical abilities, overshoot the specific magic amount he needed, and became way smaller than he wanted to.
Eclipse let out a soft giggle, which promptly evolved to a laugh at the situation. “Awwwwww, who’s the cutesy wutesy little unicorn now? You’re so adorable, like one of these little toys you have. In fact, I could just simply play with you like a toy. So cute! Now you’re a little bit too small… or perhaps… you’re now a little Bit.” She teased, looking at him. Dust only blushed further and smiled sheepishly rubbing the back of his head and embarrassment as he squeaking to her. “H-hey they’re ‘collectible figures’… And yeah… I may have overdone it… still haven’t figured out exactly how much mana to use… Now as fun as this is can you put me dow-“ Before he could proceed to correct his mistake, they were all interrupted by a sudden appearance of royal guards, these ones uniformed and on duty. “We’ve got reports of a giant pony in the surroundings. Have any of- Corporal Eclipse!” The trio interrupted themselves, proceeding to run towards her, and stand firm, saluting accordingly to a superior. But Eclipse’s reply was superseded by a sharp yell of “MY CABBAGES”, as the guards, while rushing to the scene, crushed the few remaining surviving cabbages with their armored shoes.
The shouting, and the royal guard’s apparition, scared the gray smol unicorn to the core, as he immediately jumped to Eclipse’s snout, with his new-found agility due to his petite size, and shortly thereafter diving into her soft, silky black mane, not wanting to get in trouble with the law. Thankfully, the guards didn’t quite get to catch that scene or the fleeing felon, as Eclipse giggled even further. “At ease. You three, help this poor vendor with his cart. He’ll receive full reimbursement for the accident. Now, sorry but I have to go” She added, knowing very well that her little unicorn friend didn’t want to remain in the scene any further, and flew to her apartment, with the stowaway holding tightly to her mane “You owe me a big one for this Dusty” The Pegasus said jokingly, chuckling as she glanced back, to the sight of the guard ponies assessing the situation with the vendor and aiding them.
(Again thank you very very very very very very very very very very very much Flieger for helping me with this so very much appreciate it<3)
