This is a story about a macrophile who finds himself mysteriously shrunk in Equestria |
Chapter Four Twilight Sparkles mind was swimming with thoughts of what had just happened to Mike, she had just seen one of her best friends doing things that she had been dreaming of doing to Mike since she first laid eyes on him, and she did it by accident no less! Mike wasn't even mad at her, although he did seem rather distressed by it... This whole situation was driving her crazy, she was going to wait until later to go to Raritys place but she knew that if she hadn't gotten out of that library soon then she might have done something that she would regret. Twilight hoped that this would take her mind off of her wacky fetish for at least a while as she approached the door of the boutique and entered. “Welcome to carousel boutique!” said Rarity as she heard the door open “where everything is chic unique and... Oh it's you Twilight, what a pleasant surprise! What brings you here?” “Hello Rarity” Twilight started “I would like to have some clothes made... It's a bit outside you're usual clientèle however...” “That's perfectly fine” Rarity replied “I simply couldn't refuse service to anypony who wishes to look fabulous!” “Well that's great Rarity...” Twilight said “But I'm afraid it's not a pony...” “Oh?” Rarity asked, intrigued “I don't usually make clothing for non-ponies, but I have designed a suit for a griffin once, it was an interesting challenge to design something for such a... Different customer, I would certainly be open to doing something like that again... Who is this client exactly?” “His name is Mike” Twilight replied “And he's a human, a unique species of primate from a distant planet called Earth, he was brought here unwillingly by someone with powerful magic so now he's staying at my library until we can figure out who did it” Rarity gave a nervous smile “A... primate you say? You mean you want me to dress... A Monkey?” “Well, technically he's an ape...” Twilight said before noting Rarities expression and quickly catching herself “But he doesn't look like most apes! In fact, apart from his mane most of his body doesn't even have much fur, he's mostly covered in skin very similar to that of a pig” She stopped as she noticed Rarities increasing look of horror, no doubt imagining some kind of half ape half pig abomination... “Uh... I'm really not explaining this well” Twilight said “but you can decide whether you want to accept after you've seen him if it really bothers you...” This seemed to snap Rarity out of her state of shock, leaving her looking somewhat embarrassed about her reaction “Oh... No Twilight, I'm being simply dreadful! I couldn't refuse service to a customer based on their natural looks... Even if they are an ape... With the skin of a pig... Everyone deserves to look fabulous!” Rarity exclaimed “But... Why didn't you bring him with you dear? Surely you must realise that I need to take measurements. Especially if this is a species I've never even heard of before” “Well... To put a long story short we have reason to believe that whoever brought Mike here is potentially very dangerous, and I already know that they are adept at using magic. The Library has a protection spell against scrying magic so he has to stay there to be safe, I was hoping you could come to the library with me and take some measurements there.” Twilight explained “I would be delighted Twilight! But... Not that I have a problem with anyone pursuing fashion of course... But if Mike can't leave the library then whatever would he need clothing for?” Rarity asked “Well, he says that humans don't like to be seen naked for some reason... I think it must be some kind of cultural thing...“ “Really?” Rarity asked, perking up “So they wear clothes... All the time?” “I guess so, at least in public...” Twilight answered “Why what a marvellous prospect!” Rarity exclaimed excitedly “Just imagine! Everyone dressing in style every minute of every day, streets filled with fashion! Why you could make a fortune as a fashion designer with demand like that!” Rarity swooned, her eyes glazing over. Twilight rolled her eyes, it just seemed like a whole lot of bother to her; Having to get dressed and undressed every day, not to mention it must be terribly expensive to buy enough clothes to wear all the time... But then she wasn't into fashion nearly as much as Rarity, she supposed that it would have been similar to herself finding out about a species that read books all day or something. “Well I’m afraid I’ve just got the one Rarity...” Twilight said, bringing Rarity back to Equestria “But he will probably at least need a set of clothes for each day of the week, I have no idea how long he could be staying with me” “Oh my, that's a rather large order... Are you sure you can pay for it?” “Oh, well... It's not actually as much as you might think” Twilight replied “I probably should have mentioned this earlier but whoever brought Mike here also... Shrunk him” “Shrunk him? Why whatever do you mean?” “Well, as soon Mike arrived in Equestria he was also shrunk to only a few inches tall...” Twilight explained “That's why we can't bring him back to Earth, we have to find whoever shrunk him so that we can restore him to his original size first” “Oh, I see... That sounds like a dreadful situation, I hope he's dealing with it ok... Anyway it may be a tad tricky to make clothing that small, but it would certainly require much less fabric and it will be a lot quicker then most orders, in fact it sounds like it could be rather fun... Almost like when I used to design dresses for my dolls back when I was a filly!” Rarity remenisced with excitement “I'll do it Twilight! In fact, for bringing me this opportunity I will make this clothing free of charge!” “Oh no Rarity, I couldn't let you do that” Twilight protested “Don't be silly Twilight” Rarity waved her off “The materials will probably only cost a few bits after all and this will be a nice break from my usual work” “That's great, thank you Rarity!” Said Twilight “Just uh... Don't mention the doll thing to him okay?” {{}} My mind was swimming with thoughts of what had just happened to me, Pinkie Pie had just unknowingly pleasured me more than I had ever been in my life. I felt more then slightly uncomfortable about that... What would Pinkie Pie think if she knew how much I enjoyed what she had done to me? Then again it doesn't really seem like the kind of thing Pinkie Pie would really be bothered by... I still felt dirty though, but maybe that was just because I was still covered in the pink mares sweat which was starting to dry into my clothes. 'Great' I thought sarcastically 'my clothes are completely ruined right before I meet the most fashion minded mare in existence and I have nothing to change into.' Still, at least that same mare was coming to fix that very problem. I hoped she would hurry back here though, I had already been waiting for a while and I was getting kind of bored... Suddenly I remembered I still had my phone with me, so I took it out of my pocket to check if it had survived Pinkie Pie... Obviously it hadn't, it was now nothing more then a flattened pile of electronics. What a terrible waste of what was probably the most advanced technology to ever enter Equestria... I didn't even get to show Twilight. Still, I felt a bit better once it occurred to me that I would have suffered a similar fate to my phone if it weren't for my protection spell... Suddenly I heard a loud sound behind me “Hoo!” I turned around quickly to see Twilights assistant; Owlowicious standing on the windowsill, the giant owl fixing me with a hungry gaze. It was clear that the bird saw me as food... Owls did eat mice after all, and although I wasn't a mouse I was still a tiny mammal that probably looked quite tasty to the owl. “Um... hey Owlowiscious, my name is Mike...” I started, hoping that showing that I could speak would be enough to dissuade the owl. Unfortunately Owlowiscious didn't blink, as he continued to stare at me with a predatory gaze. “Listen, uh... Twilight is looking after me for a while and I don't think she would be too happy if you-” Unfortunately, before I could finish the owl flew off of the windowsill and started to swoop down towards me. Now, I may be a voreaphile but there was no way I was gonna get eaten by a damn owl! So with little time to think, I jumped off of the desk. Even though I knew I was invincible, the free fall off the desk was terrifying as the ground raced up towards me. I hit the ground with a hard thud, I was uninjured but I had the wind knocked out of me and was unable to move for a while “Hoo!” 'Oh crap' I thought as I looked up to see that the owl had landed in front of me and was now filling my vision above me, he lifted a talon above me hoping to snatch me up before I could recover. I rolled away just as the talon dropped, hearing the loud clack of claw hitting wood as Owlowiscious barely missed me. I got to my feet and ran whichever direction I happened to be facing in, looking for somewhere... Anywhere to hide. Unfortunately I happened to be facing the door, which was separated from me by miles (relative to me at least) of empty floor. I probably should have chosen a wiser path but I had no time to hesitate before and I certainly didn't at that point so I just closed my eyes and prayed to Celestia (as I didn't happen to prescribe to a deity on Earth and wasn't sure if it would be able to interfere with this universe even if I did) as I ran. Without much warning I felt the hard talons of the owl wrap around my body and my stomach lurched as I was taken into the air at breakneck speeds, Owlowicious must have swooped down to catch me. This wasn't looking good... I kicked and struggled as hard as I could but I couldn't budge the owls grip on me, Owlowicious brought me up to the top of a bookcase and dropped me onto it. I stood up quickly as the owls beak opened and darted towards me, I ran towards the edge of the bookcase just as the beak snapped shut behind me. I figured Owlowicious had taken me up here because he thought I would be trapped, but with my mighty protection spell jumping off the edge of the bookcase seemed preferable to going through an owls digestive system, especially since I wasn't sure if the spell would even work against stomach acid. I looked over the edge to see the ground stretch out seemingly miles below me. Although I knew falling wouldn't hurt me it was still intimidating to think about jumping off of such a height, but I couldn't hesitate for long so I closed my eyes and leapt off the bookshelf. I landed with a splat on the ground, my body was slightly misshapen from the fall but I recovered quickly. I looked up to see Owlowicious peek over the edge of the bookshelf, I got up again and ran underneath the bookshelf just before Owlowicious landed. “Hoo!” Owlowicous exclaimed angrily, unable to reach under the bookshelf. I sighed in relief, hoping the owl would leave soon. Before long I heard the door to the library open and Owlowicious quickly flew away, allowing me to let out a sigh of releif “He's just upstairs on my desk” Twilight said, her voice carrying from the entrance to the library I walked out of my hiding place as Twilight and Rarity had finished ascending the stairway, the sight of the two gigantic unicorns reminding me again of just how small I was. Rarity looked a lot like I remembered her from the TV show, like all of the ponies in this world. But given that the real Equestria contained a little more detail then the cartoon, I was able to notice that her coat looked more well groomed then most ponies I had seen so far. (which hardly surprised me) It looked like she was covered in pure white silk. I vacantly wondered how it was she kept her coat so damn clean, with a coat as white as hers even the tiniest bit of dirt would stand out but it looked perfectly spotless. Maybe it was magic? I guess that works as an explanation to pretty much anything here. While I was pondering this incredibly trivial question I had unfortunately failed to take much notice to the fact that the well groomed unicorn had quickly bridged the distance from the stairway to where I was standing and the ground around me was shaking heavily from her hoofsteps, almost making me fall over. I yelped as I saw her surprisingly clean hoof start to hover over me (seriously, most ponies hooves where at least a little dirty from walking all over the place all day, I guessed she must have some kind of “Keep clean” spell) it's not like I suddenly lost my love of being stepped on, but this was getting kind of ridiculous. I was worried it might start seeming suspicious or something, so I darted from beneath her hoof just as it slammed onto the ground next to me shaking the wooden floorboards and sending me tumbling over onto my back. I was greeted with a vision of Rarities face looking down at me, having apparently heard my high pitched yelp. Her expression was not one of surprise or concern however, instead she seemed slightly frustrated and held an expression of disgust as if she had just spotted some kind of insect. The sight only a only lasted for a split second however before it was replaced by a swiftly descending hoof which splattered me into the wooden floorboard in a fashion that was becoming increasingly familiar. {{}} “He's just upstairs on my desk” Twilight said as she and Rarity entered the library. The two unicorns walked to the top of the staircase and towards Twilights writing desk, but as Twilight neared the desk she noticed something rather troubling; Mike was gone! “He's not here!” She exclaimed as she turned around to face her friend, only to see her stomp on something on the floor. “Rarity...” Twilight started “What did you just step on?” Rarity looked up and her eyes shrunk in their sockets as she realised what she must have done “I... I don't know... I just saw something on the ground that looked like a bug and I stepped on it without thinking” She said, lifting her hoof to reveal Mikes flattened form. Twilight, who was getting rather tired of seeing everypony except her abuse Mike like this started to tremble in frustration “What the hay Rarity!?” She snapped “Oh, I'm so sorry Twilight!” Rarity cried, dramatically lifting a hoof to her head “I only wanted to help out, but thanks to my carelessness... Now... I'm a murderer!” Rarity finished, her eyes brimming with tears Twilight blinked, realising that she had forgotten to tell Rarity about the protection spell... She really needed to do a better job of filling her friends in with information like that “Rarity, it's okay! You're no-” “No Twilight!” Rarity flourished “Your words, no matter how consoling cannot change the past! I cannot bear to live with the shame... I shall have to leave Ponyville and join a band of bloodthirsty ruffians on the run from the law, as they will be the only company that will not judge me for my woeful actions!” “Jeez Rarity, calm down I'm fine” Mike said after having recovered Rarity looked down at Mike with wide eyes “Wuh... Buh, How?” She stuttered incredulously before the shock of the situation finally overwhelmed her and she delicately fainted, landing on her side and once again flattening Mike underneath her. Twilights eye twitched as she watched Mikes form disappear beneath her friends body. She supposed she better get her off of him though, so she sighed in frustration and walked over to the unconscious mare. {{}} I watched as the massive unicorn started to swoon above me, her body falling towards me before I could react. Soon I was covered in Rarities silky white coat, trapped beneath it until Twilight pulled her off of me. I could breath, but only barely and the air was thick with the strong scent of perfume. Before long though I felt the weight get lifted from me to reveal the concerned face of Twilight Sparkle “Um... Sorry about that” Said Twilight nervously “Rarity can be... A bit dramatic” “no kidding” I replied dryly “What where you doing on the floor Mike!? You should have known you'd get stepped on again!” Twilight snapped at me, her mood changing to frustration once she saw I was okay. My heart got caught in my throat for a second, this was the first time Twilight had gotten angry at me and I was already feeling kind of guilty about how much I was enjoying all this, even if it wasn't my fault. But then I quickly remembered that I had an excuse “It was your crazy homicidal Owl!” I said defensively “He tried to eat me!” Twilights eyes widened “Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I didn't think Owlowicious would do something like that... I'll have to give him a stern talking to next time I see him” I was about to express my agreement when I noticed Rarity start to get to her hooves “Oh dear, did I just faint again?” She asked “I'm sorry Rarity, I forgot to mention that Mike has a protection spell, so stepping on him won't harm him permanently” Twilight explained “Oh thank Celestia, I was quite worried there for a moment... Um, sorry for stepping on you dear” Rarity said, turning her attention towards me “it's a bit of a habit of mine to squash bugs that wander into my boutique you see, lest they start crawling all over my dresses” Rarity explained, shuddering at the thought “Well... No harm done I guess” I said “At least you didn't try to eat me” Rarity blinked in surprise “Of course not! Why ever would I try to do something like that?” 'I guess it's only the pretty ones that don't want to eat me...' I thought to myself “Probably because you're not an owl...” I replied instead “I'm sorry... Did I miss something?” Rarity asked in confusion “Apparently Owlowicous hasn't been very welcoming to my guest” Twilight explained “but never mind that” She finished as she lifted me up with her magic and placed me back onto her desk “Now, Rarity will just need to take some measurements for your new clothes” She said “Indeed” Said Rarity “Just allow me to... Great galloping garments! What in Equestria happened to your clothing?” She finished as she came close enough to take a good look at my sweat stained clothes “Um... That's kind of a long story” I said, not wanting to go into the embarrassing details “Well, I'm glad that Twilight sought me out! We can't have you walking around in such filth! I shall create the finest clothing you've ever laid eyes upon!” “Awesome... Just don't put me in a dress or something” I replied, thinking of the sort of thing Rarity usually made and shuddering at the thought of wearing such attire Rarity fixed me with a sharp look, as if I had just insulted her “Don't be ridiculous darling, I am a professional! I've dressed stallions before and I know what they like... Although I'll admit I've never dressed a... Herman was it?” “Human” I corrected “Er, right... But I know you're a male in any case, so it would be very inappropriate for you to be wearing a dress” She finished, I sighed a little inwardly at that. Though I guess I shouldn't have assumed otherwise of Rarity, she may make some pretty girly outfits most of the time but she was indeed a professional so I guess she would know what she was doing “although you would probably look adorable with a little bowtie, Wouldn't you agree Twilight?” 'Um... No' I thought and was about to express my disapproval before Twilight answered “Oh... Well that would look pretty cute I guess” She said with a slight blush “I guess I could wear a bowtie...” I said before I could stop myself Rarity giggled a little at that, making me wish I had just kept my mouth shut “Are you gonna get measuring or what?” I asked, a little annoyed “Oh, but of course!” Rarity said lifting a measuring tape from... Somewhere, and moved it towards me. “I must say, you don't look at all like I had expected” Rarity said as she started to measure me “The way Twilight described you I thought you would be hideous” My heart sank to the bottom of my chest, so Twilight did think I was ugly. It may not have been surprising but it still hurt to find out “Hey! That's not what I said!” Twilight remarked “I think he's perfectly good looking! Uh, I mean, not like GOOD looking... Not to say that he's bad looking of course! Just uhh... As good as you would expect Someone... to be... without uh... Being... Attractive” She trailed off weakly as both I and Rarity stared at her with blank expressions “That's not what I said...” She repeated lamely “Um... Ok, Thanks for clearing that up” I said, though in truth I was more confused then ever. Rarity simply cleared her throat awkwardly and went back to measuring. For a while Rarity took her measurements, noting them down in her notebook. She measured my width, waist size and height (turns out I’m exactly two and a half inches tall now, in case you where wondering). It didn't take long and soon enough Rarity was putting her tape and notebook away “Well, that should be all I need to get started, I wish I could give you something else to wear in the meantime, but it won't take long to make something your size, so I should be back later today with a few things” Rarity explained “Thanks a lot Rarity” I said “I wish I could repay you but I don't think there's a whole lot I can do at this size” “Oh don't worry about it darling!” Rarity replied “It will be worth it just to get you out of those clothes, honestly I don't know why your still wearing them, Aren't they uncomfortable?” I couldn't really disagree with that, the dried sweat made my clothes all hard and sticky. It was kinda gross honestly, but being naked in front of these mares was an unacceptable prospect to me. “It's not that bad... Besides, we humans aren't usually naked in public” I explained “Yes, Twilight mentioned that. While I do admire you're determination to stay dressed, I really don't get what all the fuss is about, us ponies go without clothes most of the time and it's not like there are any other humans around to judge you” Rarity said “Well sure, it's just... Humans aren't like ponies, all our... Bits are at the front so we kind of have to wear something over them or... Everyone can see them” “You don't let anyone to see your bits?” Rarity asked, a confused look on her face “But then how do you spend them?” I blinked vacantly, clearly I had created a gap in communication that I really didn't want to have to clear up “No, I didn't mean... You know what never mind” I said, having no wish to continue this conversation “I'll survive wearing this for the moment” “Well, okay then” Rarity replied “I shall return in a matter of hours then” And with that, Rarity went back outside leaving me and Twilight to ourselves. I wasn't really sure what to say at that point and apparently neither was Twilight, which resulted in a rather awkward silence which was eventually (and thankfully) broken by Twilight “Well...” She said “I don't know about you but I’m feeling pretty hungry, would you like some lunch?” I nodded in agreement and was picked up once again, savouring the feeling of Twilights magic round me, this situation may be extremely awkward but I could certainly get used to it.
