Ask Twiny Sparkle (1000 likes Celebration) · 9:41pm Jun 27th, 2014
In this blog I asked you all to vote how to Celebrate 1000 likes, over 1000 faves and over 1000 comments on Celestia's Tiny Student http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/343248/1000-likes-thank-you-all#comment/2239334
Since so far two ideas draw when it comes to votes, lets Celebrate here:
2) Ask Twiny.
Basically you can ask questions and Twiny will try to answer the best she can.
3) What happen if...?
You post comment asking what would happen in my story if something happened in it between some chapters, for example: What if Twilight failed her final exam? or what if White Path and Spike would end up in coma after terrorists attack? And so on.
So post questions in here and Twiny will do her best to answer!
I am afraid I cannot answer this question because it would be going into spoilers teritory. Please ask questions "what if" that happen between uploaded chapters.
Hey Twiny! I was reading one of the your stories when I noticed that Celestia sat on you in April Foals day. What was it like being in that position?
Hey Twiny Why does spike call you mom if see you as mother figure ?
2239589
"Well," Twilight started while scratching her neck as a weak blush appeared on her cheeks. "It was a little bit scary… though not as terrifying as when my mentor stomped on me during a game of tag when I was much younger.” Twilight shivered at the memory before shaking her head. “N-not that I hold a grudge or anything. It was an accident after all, and it is important to forgive those who didn’t hurt you on purpose… where was I?” She scratched her head before clapping her hooves together. “Oh, right. Now that I think about it, it was not as scary as it was embarrassing. I mean, I literally jumped right under my mentor when she was about to sit on her cushion, and when somepony sit on you, it is really awkward.”
With quick movement of her tail, Twilight hide her blushing face behind it as she added, “Though you are probably more interested how did it felt… well. It was surprisingly not too uncomfortable as both cushion and my mentor’s… flank proved to be quite soft, kind of like being trapped between two pillows, and the weight that pressed on me was spread mostly onto the surface of the seat.” Twilight lowered her tail and scratched her chin. “Now that I think about it, the only unpleasant drawbacks were the heat and the fact that I could not move a muscle… oh, and it was very hard to breath, but it didn’t last longer than few seconds, so it was not that bad.”
After gently placing her hoof onto the table she sat on, she smiled widely. “I hope you are satisfied with my answer. If you wish to know more, do not hesitate and ask… though hopefully next question will not be concerning… such delicate topic.”
2239771 Well, that's good to know. At least it wasn't like my experience of being sat on... never again. Also, one last question. I notice that you are a teenager/young adult and you were already reading books that even most adults didn't read while you were filly. I'm pretty sure you read almost the entire royal library already. The point is, did you stumble across a few... um... embarrassing books? You know... about... how to put this... the body of a pony? Here I go asking those types of questions. Why is my mind always in the gutter?
2239607
“You mean, why does spike call me mom and see me as mother figure?” Twilight asked before looking around in search for the young drake. After making sure that the room was empty, she lifted her foreleg and spoke, “I know that it may seems odd for us to hold such a relationship, I mean.” She cleared her throat and continued, “He is a baby dragon and I am a unicorn mare, and despite being older, I am hardly the size of his arm if not smaller. Even I find it odd to call him my son when we are not the same species while hs is so much taller than me, and sometime I wonder who is taking care of who…”
With stomp of her tiny hoof and determined expression on her face, Twilight added, “But I hatched his egg with my magic, I was teaching him how to speak, read and write when I found out that his caretakers were treated him like a test subject and I was the first poy he saw.” She stomped her hoof even harder and continued with louder tone, “If he see me as his mother and call me that despite our differences, than I will gladly accept such role, and I am more than proud to call him my adoptive son. Even if I am far too young and inexperienced to have one just yet, my mentor have faith in me and even organized an adoption procedure to make this official.”
With quick teleportation spell, Twilight disappeared, only to run back into the room few minutes later. Several scrolls and papers levitating above her head. With one solid jump onto the table, she unrolled the documents while she stood on her hind legs, her foreleg pointing at it. “As you can see, I am Spike’s legal guardian, and I am doing my best to fulfil my role. I hope this answers your question.”
2239809
“Embarrassing books? The body of a pony?” Twilight asked while tilting her head to the side. “You mean books about pony’s anatomy?” With a firm nod she continued, “Of course I read tons of books on the topic. Ever since the princess told me about the difference between a unicorn’s, earth pony and pegasus’ magic, I started to study biology of each species very intensively. And ever since i became Wonderbolts Medic, I expanded those studies, and trust me, I know pegasus’ anatomy upside down.”
Puffing her chest while placing her foreleg on her heart, Twilight said, “Those books alongside everything I learned from the doctors about healing magic helped me to save many lives. Though I am unsure why would reading them be embarrassing?”
“Oh Twilight, you’re so clueless.”
Twilight flinched in surprise as she looked behind her back, quickly noticing Overwatch standing right behind the table. “How did you got here so quietly, Overwatch? it is a private conversation.”
“I levitated us in,” added another voice as Twilight jumped again, only to see a pony with pink wings and horn in ninja costume levitating above her head, her smile hidden behind a mask while several shurikens were attached to the costume.”
“Cadence? What’s up with this costume, more or less, why are you here?”
Cadence giggled as she silently landed on tips of her hooves and lowered her head close to Twilight's ear, “Overwatch’s intuition is all you need to know. We came here to check what is going on, and I will personally enlighten you what he's meant.”
After several seconds of quiet whispering to Twilight’s tiny earth, the little unicorn’s face bursted in full red as she started to smile awkwardly before looking around in panic. “Different question, please.”
I think you're missing an 's'...
I take no offence though. Just a common mistake!
2239875 Sorry to bother you so much Twiny, I know I said that was the last one, but I couldn't resist asking... how did you feel about umm... can't remember his name... Fancy Pant's and Fleur's son asking you out? Do you think he really has feelings for you? And how would you react if you really were forced to marry him when he was 18? And lastly, don't you think Steelie would be pissed if he found out that... that colt... did have feelings for you?
What if when Celestia swallowed Twiny, after she tried and failed to go back up the esophagus, Twiny then tried to escape via Celestia's intestines? I think she would probably saying something along the lines that this would be a once in a lifetime opportunity to study anatomy in a way that nopony has before.
Twiny, how did you STOMACH that feeling when you were first being eaten by your mentor?
2239927
Noticing a smirk on Overwatch’s face, Twilight shoot her an annoyed glare while pointing the exit. Once both her guard and Cadence left the room, she turned around and spoke. “His name is White Path, as for him asking me out, I am not really sure what to think about it.” Twilight sat and rubbed the table with a hoof. “I always had fun playing and adventuring with him while our first game inspired me to train my physical condition alongside my magic. I always thought of him as a friend, so you should see my shock when such question left his mouth.”
She sighed. “I read somewhere that young ponies may develop a crush on a teacher or any older pony they admire, but it come and go, so I think I should not take such offer to seriously, at least for a few years to come.”
“As for the forced marriage, I made it up. Princess Celestia never forced such thing from her subjects, thought from history books when Celestia formed first nobility, forced marriages to gain influence became a common occurrence, at least until the pricness banned it. “ Slowly raising her head, Twilight smiled widely, her cheeks once again blushing. “Though to be honest, if I was forced to marry White Path when he will grow up, I think it would not be that bad. I mean, I see him as a great friends, sure, but he is very kind, energetic and cheerful, sometime even resourceful when trying to reach his goal and he is very honest and straightforward. I think he would make a really good company.” Twilight quickly hide her head under her hooves. “However my mom and dad were right about one think, dating him would be very awkward, and when he said that he apologised for sitting on me, he wasn’t joking.”
Noticing confusion, she explained. “Once I got used to public appearances, Fancy Pants and his family invited me to ophera. I still remember their blushing faces when I levitated White Patch above my head after he sat on me.” Twilight quickly shook her head and said, “Sorry, I was rambling, anyway, back to your question, right now his crush on me is probably a one of a fan, but do it would turn into something serious in the future, I cannot take out this possibility.”
“And Steely would repeatedly slam his head against the wall for few hours,” Overwatch’s voice came from behind the closed door as Twilight frowned.
“Why would he ever do that? I mean, why would Steely care do a colt have a crush on me or not, more or less do I return the feelings?”
A noise of a head slamming against the wall became clearly hearable from behind the wall.
Hey Twiny! What would you do if you suddenly became an alicorn? Purely hypothetical of course.
2239936
Twilight looked to the side and bit her lips before answering with hesitation, “While I must admit that it would be a lifetime opportunity, I cannot imagine how unpleasant it would be for my mentor… and what if I would damage her intestines?” Twilight placed her forelegs on her head and continued with panic in her voice, “There is no way I would hurt my beloved mentor. The spell that turned me into pegasus would wear of after few hours. I am sure that if I anchored myself a little above stomach’s acid inside princess’s belly, and waited patiently for few hours, i would regain my ability to teleport outside."
2239965
Twilight scratched her head, "Do you mean, how I endured it? How I felt when it happened? Or how I recovered mentally from such experience? Please be more specific and i will do my best to answer."
2239989
Large smile spread across her face. “Study!!!”
With help of her magic, a notepad and pen levitated from her tiny saddlebag as she gestured with her forelegs in joy. “I was always fascinated by alicorns. What I mean is, Princess Celestia and former princess Cadence are alicorns, and they possess immense amount of raw power that can put even the most powerful unicorns to ashamed, alongside pegasus magic and earth pony magic. Three types of magic in one pony is something I would love to research, but I never had the courage to ask Princess Celestia to assist me, and I am unsure what Cadence would not like the idea of being a test subject.”
Twilight stood on her rear hooves before levitating herself slightly above the table. “But if I became a alicorn, I would be my own test subject. Imagine countless experiments and tests I would be able to conduct on myself, all the knowledge and research I could contribute that the princess didn’t had time to bother with.” Twilight levitated higher and higher before slamming her head against the ceiling as she quickly smashed back onto the table. With short massage of her forehead, she stood and bounced in place. “And with earth pony magic and pegasus magic at my disposal, I would gain the ability to rival earth ponies and pegasi in their own game. Oh, I would train really hard to develop all three branches of magic rather than one.””
2240037 You yourself are a unicorn of considerable power. So much so that you have to be carefull at your full size. Mustn't it be for Celestia like walking in a world made of glass?
Twiny, which would say was worse, beating stuck under Celestia's flank or being in her stomach?
You're Soooo Cute, Twiny!! But my question is have you thought of finding a spell or creating that temporarily shrinks ponies so you can play with them at equal size?
What would have happened if Twilight hadn't seen Spike, and taught him, and pretty much mothered him?
what if Erin from Project Sunflower came to twiny's equestria instead?
this sorta reminds me of Celestia's Servant Interview on derpiboo.ru
well here is my question.
Hiya Twiny you know you are frikking adorable right?
Well what would you do if Celestia made you a giant instead of shrinking you and you had to live as a giant pony and not a tiny pony?
2240051
Twilight’s eyes opened widely, her mouth agape as she stared at you in silence for several seconds. Slowly closing her mouth with a hoof, she nodded hastily and said, “I… I never thought of that, you are absolutely correct.” With a bit of concentration, she focused on a nearby bookshelf as hundred kilograms of wood and literature levitated upwards. “At my normal size, I would most likely send this bookshelf crashing into the ceiling, shattering into pieces if I was not careful, and she…”
The little unicorn placed the weight back on the floor and put her hoof under her chin in contemplation. “When I dueled against my mentor, back when she shrunk herself to my size and not used protection spell on herself, I was still greatly outmatched in terms of raw power, and even if I improved my magic since then, the princess would still be several times stronger than me if I ever returned to my normal size.” Twilight tipped her head and charged her horn, focusing on, tearing off two small pieces of wound the size of her hoof from the table and carefully moved towards one another, her head sweating uncontrollably. Both wood pieces missed one another few times before shattering under her magical grab.
Twilight sighed as she recalled her past memories. “When I was just a tiny filly, my mentor clean my teeth with a normal size toothbrush many times until she got me a tiny size one and assisted me in many other small tasks. She was always so careful with me, so gentle. She is an alicorn with raw power to level up top of a mountain and she managed to levitate me around with such care, it had to be incredibly difficult… no, it always was difficult for her.”
Twilight trotted in circle, her tone nervous. “I still remember how she fought against those traitors that attacked us during the birthday party. I saw her kill and smite her foes in her anger. It must be very tough to keep all this power in check.”
With determined smile forming on her face, she stopped trotting and looked at the ceiling. “I will personally give Princess Celestia my condolences and praise for keeping all this power in check for nearly two millennia, for always being so gentle and careful with me. It had to be very hard and I cannot thank her enough. Be right back,” Twilight said before disappearing in flash of teleportation.
2240079
In flash of teleportation, Twilight was back, once again perched on the table in the middle of the room, “Sorry for the wait, and I am ready to answer another of your questions.”
With few confused blinks of her eyes, she scratched her chin again. “It is rather hard to decide. On one side, when I was being trapped under my mentor, the cushion made the experience far less unpleasant than walking throught stomach’s acids while being trapped in rather small dark area, even if I ignore the chewing and gulping process.”
Twilight lifted her foreleg and continued, “On the other side, I was trapped in my mentor’s stomach for quite a while, but under my mentor only for several seconds. I am sure that while I would endure the acids for hour… or just anchor myself up away from the acids with my hooves for few hours. If I was trapped under my mentor for more than several minutes, I would probably suffocate from lack of oxygen… I guess that being sit upon would be worse if it lasted much longer.”
2240152
Twilight shook her head violently and stomp firmly on the table, creating a tiny dent in the wooden surface. “I would never even dare to think about it. Shrinking other ponies against their will when it is not necesery to safe lives is just… cruel. And even with their permission, I am unsure it is a good idea.”
Twilight slammed her hooves against one another. “Being tiny is not walk in the part. You can be stepped on, sit upon, drow in a bathtub. The list of dangers is very long. I managed to adapt to my size thanks to hard work and my outstanding magic, but how many unicorns would be able to levitate a heavy object that is about to crush him or her?” She stopped to take few quick breaths while poking her own horn. “Not to mention that my own magic would hurt them if there was no size difference between us. I personally stay small because I can challenge myself everyday and because my magic cannot hurt others, but also a very small reason that also keep me from growing is that with my outstanding raw power, returning to normal size would be unfair to others.”
Twilight nodded with closed eyes and a proud smile. “Think about it. When other unicorn ca hardly levitate one ton or two, when earth ponies struggle to pull cart with few tons heavy cargo, I could just walk around the town with a house levitate over my head. How do you think other ponies would feel around me? It is only fair if my size restrict my power, so that I cannot be more powerful than others.”
Twilight paused as an awkward smile appeared on her face, her determined tone of voice gone. “And from technical standpoint. Only Princess Celestia and my foalsitter have enough raw power to shrink others, and while I know the secrets behind shrinking spell, casting it is far beyond my capabilities. At best I can just turn myself back to normal if I wanted too, but shrinking is out of question.”
2240217
Twilight shook her head, sad smile on her face. “I cannot imagine the world without Spike by my side. But if I never meet him, I guess that i would never learn the wonders of taking care of somepo...one, to show him love and care everypony show me.” The little unicorn shook her hoof between sentences. “I would never win the snowball fight, I would not be able to send letters to my mentor while working for the Wonderbolts, and while I have my guard’s and care about them deeply, they are not as good as Spike to calm me down whenever I… how did he called it… whenever I freak out.”
With depression clearly visible on her face, Twilight turn her head to the side and added, “Even if the princess would most likely find out that the experts taking care of Spike are not focusing on her emotional stage ad not show him enough love and care every baby need, he would still grow up into a sad dragon... I do not feel to answer this question any further, next one, please.”
2240309
Twilight's depression disappeared in an instant as she grab the giant book with her foreleg, hardly maintaining balance under it’s weight as she looked over the cover with “Project Sunflower” written on it above a picture of yellow pegasus with red mane. The sequel to this book levitating above Twilight’s head.
“Wow… that is quite a lot of literature to read,” Twilight said with enthusiasm before her smile vanished as she placed the book on the table and lowered her head. “I am sorry, but I am in the middle of answering questions, and I don’t have time to read this book to answer yours? While I do not like spoilers, unless you will tell me more about main hero in it and events taking place in it, I cannot answer your question, I am sorry."
2240557
Twilight blushed and waved her hoof, “Adorable? Why everyone’s keep saying that? I am sure there are many ponies far more cute than I am.” She giggled. “Though I must say, my puppy stare is very irresistible, so I guess I am somewhere in first hundred most adorable ponies in Equestria, if there even was a competition that is.”
With a deep breath and moment to calm down, Twilight answered, “I am unsure to be honest. If I was turned into giant right now, I would freak out like never before. It was tough enough to return myself to the size of a cat, but to be a giant, that would be horrible.”
Twilight’s horn charged as she created an illusion of herself being the size of her knee and another illusion of herself being the size of a normal pony as she pointed her hoof between them. “I must say, being tiny was terrifying most of the time, at least until I adapted, and even so, I always lived in fear of being crushed or stomped, and I fought against my fears most of my life.” While the tiny Twilight illusion trembled in fear, the big Twilight looked down at the ground, carefully analyzing the floor while checking her hooves. “If I was a giant instead, I guess the roles would be reversed. Instead of fearing to be crushed, I would fear to crush somepony..”
With a bit more effort as drop of sweat fall from Twilight's forehead, more illusions pop out, those however were her size in shape of Celestia and Cadence and her parents who looked down at tiny Twiny illusion as if she was the most vulnerable thing in the world, while big Twilight illusion looked at them the same way. “I guess I would feel the same way my parents, mentor and foalsitter feel around me. Until I adapted and proved myself resistant to crushing hugs, stomps and other lethal situations, they were overprotective when it came to me. I guess that I would be in the same situation until I learned how to restrain myself to not hurt anypony… kind of like with my power surges.”
Twilight shook her foreleg in disagreement. “And after some research on shrinking spell, I learned that it separate most of my mass and magic in some sort of pocket dimension, but if there is a spell that would turn myself into giant, I think it would increase my size, but not my magic. So if for example my mass increased 100 times, my strength would most likely increase only 5 times while my raw power would be the same as if I was normal size pony, after all, most of pony strength and endurance come from our affinity to magic, and while body altering spells are easy to perform, increasing one’s inner magic is extremely difficult if not impossible… unless with a very hard training.”
Twilight smiled awkwardly once again and rubbed her neck while her illusions disappeared. “Oh, ad here i am rambling again. Sorry. Now back to your question. If being tiny forced me to fight many fears of being hurt and also caused my isolation from outside world for many years. Being giant would make me fear afraid of hurting somepony and I would be a center of attention or isolated away from Canterlot where I would not crush buildings and ponies under my hooves.”
Hey Twilight, what do you know of former Princess Cadace's past? Her origins and where she came from, and what has she been doing besides raising foals?
Also, I was wondering what your favorite legend or myth from Pony history is.
2240593 Yes! Controlling all that power makes our diarch so much more awsome than just having it.
Maybe you should practice your application of magic on the miniscule level? After all you might not always be the size of a mouse.
OK! But still you are cute
2240642
“Cadence’s past?” Twilight said while before looking down at the table while scratching her foreleg. “I am afraid that not much… I tried to talk with Cadence about her kingdom she once ruled, but she always changed the topic. I even made some diligent research in the royal library, but found no trace about any other pony kingdom since Equestria was formed, and I must say, I was really surprised.”
She pointed towards an sunmark decoration on the ceiling. “I asked my mentor about it, but all she said was not to bother searching into it, and that some informations should stay out from the public eye.”
Twilight sat while levitating over a cup of tea into her embrace, carefully tilting the giant cup with her forelegs while taking a tiny refreshing gulp before placing it on the table. With swift move of her foreleg she wipe her face and smiled while levitating another cup of tea over to the quest. “While I given up on learning about her kingdom, Cadence didn’t mind telling me about few of her previous jobs she had while living under a disguise. For example, her favourite disguise is as earth pony while she work in gardens, as teacher or as foalsitter, but while she like peaceful and calm jobs, she is was not afraid to get her hooves dirty.”
With help of her levitation, Twilight levitated several books from the bookshelf and carefully placed them onto her back while steeling her hooves. While doing few pushups, she continued, “For example, she was working part time on a rock farm once and few times assisted apple family during their busy seasons. It helped her build up muscles and keep her earth pony magic in shape. Also, did you know that under pegasus disguise she was once a Wonderbolt? It was short lived though as officially she had died in action… She survived of course thanks to being an alicorn, but to keep her cover she had to pretend and move to next disguise.”
Books quickly levitated to back to their spots on a bookshelf while Twilight wipe sweat from her forehead and smiled sadly. “I kind of feel sorry for her, starting a new life with every new disguise, faking many funerals and leaving her friends behind. But Cadence is always so cheerful, so I guess she got used to it.” The little unicorn cleared her throat and added, “As for my favourite myth, hmn… I am afraid I cannot answer it. There are so many to choise from that it is to dificult to choose favourite.”
2240707
“Twilight scratched her foreleg nervously. “Yea, I will one day need to return to my normal size… but there is no rush.” She smiled awkwardly while looking around. “Besides, there is a lot I can learn from challenging myself to my limits… and it is so much fun. I think it won’t hurt if I will delay my practice over application of magic on the miniscule level for a bit, it is not like my raw power will be needed anytime soon.”
2240830
“S-stop saying that. Sure.. I am cute, I won’t deny that,” Twilight said with grimace on her face. “But I bet every pony will become much more cute when shrunken. Especially when one will wear a giant ribbon attached to one’s tail or neck. Not to mention that princess shrunk herself as well whenever adventuring with me. I bet she is far cuter than me.”
So Now for Something Completely Different.
Don't you think Steely and Overwatch would make a deliciously cute couple?
Hello Twilight, you was blessed of the Luna, now you can see in the dark or something else.
What if the Celestia was overthrown before the return of the Luna.
So... here are questions...
If you recover your original size... What do you think could be the worst that could happen if you lost the control of your power? aside of dissapoint Celestia.
Also... What do you think of Ponyville and the ponies in there for what you see till now?
2241263
“Cute couple, really?” Twilight said while her neck leaned back. “I never thought of that. I always saw them as two very carrying guards and great friends who work together as a team, and now that I think about it, all the guards work in pairs whenever guarding the door or patrolling a hallway.” She shook her head, “I am rambling again, anyway, Overwatch was is always teasing Steel Blade and they seems to like each other, but couple?”
Twilight blushed while scratching her neck, “I would ask them about it, but I do not want to put my nose into their personal affairs. So are they dating one another during their free time or not, I will respect their privacy.”
2241814
Twiny cannot answer your question as she is currently in the Town Hall while Nightmare Moon and Celestia are outside doing who knows what so I will answer instead.
Lunar blessing not only improve vision of a pony during night but also make a connection between said pony and moon, so just like Luna/Nightmare Moon can recover their magic, stamina and health faster under the light of the moon, so are those blessed by her. The connection have its limits however, so while it make ponies stronger at night, it not make them unbeatable.
2241915
“The worse that could happen…” Twilight said to herself while holding a hoof on her chin in contemplation, her eyes closed for several seconds. Suddenly she shivered and bit her lips as she raised her head, her ears dropped. “I have enough control over my magic to avoid power surges, however what really scares me is if I put to much magic into an activity. I think the worse thing that could happen would be to levitate somepony, only to throw him or her into the ceiling, more or less if I did it to the princess…” The little unicorn looked to the side as she continued, “Or if I opened door to throne room, only to send them flying right into the crowd of gathered ponies, or if I tried to train my physical strength by carrying a one ton boulder on my back, and then after noticing the princess, I would teleport onto her muzzle as I always did, or if I tried to hug my parents and crushed their bones as the result, or if I pulled my parrents into a hug, only to slam them against a wall by accident, and trust me… being slammed against a wall or crushed in a hug is always very uncomfortable, even when you get used to it.”
Twilight giggled, “Sorry, I just cannot stop talking sometime. Anyway, the worse thing that could happen is basically use to much power and hurt somepony as the result.”
“Ponyville proved to be a very nice town, not as humongous as Canterlot, but homes there provide a very calm and peaceful view.” Twilight started as her cheerful smile grew. “While I had rough start with Applejack, she and her family proved to be very welcoming, and their food was delicious, if not overwhelming and heavy.” She massaged her back as memory of being buried under avalanche of tasty goods flashed in her mind. “I think I like Apple family the most, but since most of them were there only for an reunion, I should search for other examples. I really liked Rainbow Dash, she is a very adventurous type just like me, though a bit too self centered, but I guess this is a trial that most Wonderbolts share with her. Fluttershy was very kind, but far too overprotective. She kind of remind me of Cadence when she first meet me.”
Twilight’s smile turned into a grimace as she groaned. “Though Rarity… ugh… she was so annoying, and not because she hurt me, I can forgive this easy as long as ponies didn’t mean to hurt me on purpouse and apologise, no, what really tick me off is her reaction when she found out that i was princess’s student.” She closed her eyes and facehooked, “Fake praise, gifts to buy my friendship, did she really thought i would fall for that? And she didn’t hesitate to say that Canterlot is superior to Ponyville, that Canterlot nobles are far better than ponies she lived with for her entire life, the nerve, she was so disrespectful.”
With deep sigh, Twilight took few quick breaths, her expression apologetic and sad. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to lash out like that, it is just… nevermind…” With a weak smile, she continued, “Now where was I, oh yea, the party was next. The party quests were really kind and cheerful, though few of them still freaked over my size a bit, not that I blame them, anyway, the only pony I had chance to get to know better were Pinkie and Cakes.”
One cookie quickly levitated over into Twilight's embrace while few flew over the quest. After one solid bite and quickly chewing, she gulped and continued, “I really respect Mr. Cake. He was acting professionally and was very understanding, as if me being tiny was just a common occurrence to him, as for Pinkie…” Twilight paused and rubbed her hoof. “She was way too energetic, and while I like adventures and exercise, i am unsure I would be able t keep up with her, especially when she talks. It make using my zipper spell so tempting.”
With a quick nod, she added, “All in all, ponies in Ponyville seems very kind if not a bit weird, maybe I will ask Princess Celestia to let me stay a day or two to get to known them better after the Summer Sun Celebration… once she deal with Nightmare Moon that is.”
Tiny saddlebag quickly levitated over her shoulder as the little unicorn turned towards the exit, “Anyway, the Summer Sun Celebration is about to start, I must be going. It was nice answering your questions, and i will be back for more, but for now, farewell.” With one solid jump, she landed on the floor and dashed towards the exit, only to jump onto the handle. She anchored her hind legs against the wall while her forelegs pressed the handle, slowly opening the door. With her task complete, Twilight climbed to the handle on the other side, anchoring her hind legs against it while forelegs pressed against the wall, pulling the door close.
What would Rarity have to do to win you back?
2239965 Oh. The bear puns are more then I can bear!!!
Oh, and Twiney? Would you rather read an educational book or a novel with a good plot and characters? Oh, and what would you do if you met someone else in the situation you were when you were first shrunk? Oh, I have so many questions!!!

“I am unsure,” Twilight said with depressed tone, her head and ears lowered. “It is hard to tell when ponies like her are honest or hide behind mask of complements and lies.” She sighed. “If she admitted that she never wanted to be my friend and honestly apologised for lying to me, or if she learned that she was being unfair to the ponies she live with and look besides the cover, I would forgive her.” Twilight raised her head and smiled weakly. “If she wanted to be my friend for who I am and not my position and gave more time for us both to learn more about each other, I would be more than happy to give her a second chance, but the problem is that, it is hard to know when ponies like Rarity are being honest with you… they are just to cunning sometime for their own good.”

I still don't understand his question to well, do you?

“Considering that my education as the princess student takes priority, education book, but I won’t mind a good novel once in a while, though it is so hard to find time to read them between the exercises.”
“You mean, as if another pony ended up shrunk because of her outstanding raw power?” Twilight asked with wide eyes, her expression quickly turning into depressed one. “While I would not exchange the time I spend as the princess student for the world, I would really feel sad for the poor pony, forced to live a harsh life in isolation in fear of being hurt, fighting against painful surges many times each day. Not every pony share my love for learning magic and adventure, and I, better than anypony would understand the pain he or she would have to go through.”
With determined expression quickly replacing the sad one, she stomped on the table and spoke, “If I meet a pony like that, I would do my best to cheer him or her up, to be there for them, protect them, share my experiences and knowledge to help them adapt to their new size, read a book, show the wonders of adventure, and most importantly,” Twilight took a deep breath, “I would share their pain and burden.”
"Go ahead and ask, that is why I am here!" Twilight said with a cheerful smile that showed her white shining teeth.
Yes! Hmm... okay... Firstly, the Bear Puns thing was a joke, not a question.
Secondly, Who do you think is cuter, Apple-bloom or White-Path?
Thirdly, if it came to a fight to the death between Luna and Celestia, which side would you pick, if any, knowing that you would have to help kill the other.
Fourthly, which do you prefer, Ponyville or Canterlot (Places only, not the people in them).
Finally (For now), what would you do if suddenly every single book in Equestria suddenly vanished into thin air?
P.S. You should really stop spying on her, Overwatch. I know you're there.

“Oh… Well, at least it save me trouble to explain how it felt to be trapped in my mentor’s stomach.”
“More cute? Level of cuteness is very hard to describe by scientific means,” Twilight said as she tap her chin with a hoof. “I meet Applebloom just recently, so I am afraid I cannot compare them to well, sorry.”
“Kill, no way!” Twilight stomped her hoof against the table and growled. “I would never help in something like that? I beg them to stop fighting or protect my mentor if her life was in danger, but there is no way I would help to kill!”
“If not including ponies that lives in there, I think I like Canterlot more. It is far more spacious and impressive and have a lot of interesting places to visit. It have threathres, cinemas, areas for Wonderbolts’ shows, ports with blimps and airships, more libraries and there is just so much more to explore.” Twilight chuckled and scratched her back, “Ponyville seems like a nice town, especially the farm, but I was there just one day, not enough to find anything interesting in it. I think I would need to spend more time in Ponyville before I can give a fair verdict.”
Twilight sat in silence for several seconds, her eyes closed, before she raised her hoof and spoke, “I would scream, ran in circle, go into panic mode, teleport between libraries and bookshelves in search for any remaining books while performing investigation, searching for any traces of magic or pony responsible for this unimaginable crime, ask the princess and cry myself in the corner of a room or under my pillow for few hours.” Twilight opened her eyes and levitated small checklist from her saddlebag. “Now please excuse me, I need to write those steps down in case of books missing emergency.”
"Overwatch, spying on me? What are you talking about?"
2248270
Just ask her, she's there.
Oh and you've heard the Legends of Discord? What would you do if he came back to Equestria?
And what would you do if Celestia suddenly decided that books were banned?
Also, what would you do if suddenly you lost your magic?
How many questions will it take for you to regret telling me to
?
And finally, (again, for now), what would you do if you lost the ability to speak and someone like Fluttershy succeeded in keeping you as a pet?

Twilight shook her head. “I do rather not. I mean, she is my guard after all, so if she is secretly watching over me, I am sure she is doing it with my best interest in mind.”
“Sort of. I actually first stepped on it when Cadence was teaching me about a love poison. Apparently the three tribes formed some sort of monarchy, but it was ruined when Kind and the Queen drink love potion, and not long after Discord came in and took the charge… “ Twilight lectured before scratching her chin with a quick ‘hmn.’ “There is some sort of gap in all history books. Apparently after Discord’s defeat, Celestia and her sister Luna were chosen to rule by grateful ponies, but what happened to my mentor’s sister is missing, actually a lot of informations were cut out for some reasons.”
Twilight shook her head slowly as weak smile formed on her face. “I am sure that the princess had important reasons to hide such events from public eye, and if Discord will return from whatever prison he is being kept in, I am sure the princess will just defeat him again.”
“SImple,” Twilight said with a firm wave of her hoof. “First I would panic, next I would ask my mentor numerous of questions in unrecognizable speech… at least this is what Spike said I would do if it happened, and yes, it was Overwatch who asked the same question before.” Twilight cleared her throat and continued, “After minutes to calm down, I would ask for reasons behind it, argue with my mentor, but careful not to question her authority or make her upset. Next I would beg her on my knees to rethink her decision, and next beg her again and again, giving the best arguments I can come up with to change her mind.” She sighed, her ears and head lowered. “And if this won’t work, I guess I would cry myself in the corner for few days and try to adapt, focusing mostly on training my magic and adventuring while naps would replace my reading time… though I am unsure do ponies, especially nobles would not react more harshly than I would. After all, no books is a big deal.”
Twilight scratched her neck while looking down at the table. “Actually, I am probably strong enough to handle it thanks to my strenght, but what if not just my ability to cast spells would be gone, but my inner magic as well? Without it, my body and bones will be so much more easy to crush.” She stomped her hoof against the table and pit her lips. “And the worse of all, without my magic, I would no longer be princess student, nor I would be medic working for the Wonderbolts, and I would not be able to do farming since I am not an earth pony. My future would be RUINED!”
"I think I can handle few more, just do not ask me to many at once. I need some breaks after all. And small excersize and some fresh air to clear my mind."
“Keeping me as pet, this is not happening,” Twilight said with a firm shake of her head as she tapped her horn. “I can teleport myself away with ease and i am master in game of tag… I would most likely even outrun Fluttershy with my hooves alone. As for communication, I can always write, and with some medical attention I should get back my voice.”
Here I go with a couple of questions...
It's true that the horn of a unicorn is very delicate and if you try to massage it is like the wings of a pegasus? (Maybe your guards could know better)
Did you asked in a moment to Philomena to let her give a ride?
What do you Plan in the future? I mean, you are not going to be under Celestia and living in the castle forever, Did you think about a Job you could make (aside maybe of medic)
You like books but... Did you think about write your own book? Maybe your memories or the history of your life as how you survived being little. Who knows, that could be a bestseller
Did you think sometimes what could be your life if you managed to enter in Celestia Unicorns School, instead of being the student of Princess Celestia?
Did you know exactly what happened to Spike until you met them or only have a couple of ideas?
Did you find someone that can resist or say no if you ask please with puppy eyes?
What is your favorite food?
If you could travel to the past and correct only one mistake you did (only your mistakes or something that you make, no something that someone else did) What you could chose?
In Equestria the Griffons like to eat meat... Did you try to taste meat?
If you were banished a thousand years like Nightmare Moon, alone in the moon, when you return, you still love Celestia?
Did you read about magic that make somepony travel the dreams of others? What do you think of that magic?
Have you readed about meditation and Yoga? I heared is good to calm herself and also increase how good you use the magic.
You have a Genre or type of books that hate? (Like Terror or maybe Tragedy) If you have a Genre you hate... Do you have like any more than others?
After watch Celestia holding court too many times... Did you think of helping Celestia to give her free time?
I hope too many questions don't get you angry.
Twilight Sparkle, don't you think you should apply your own teachings more often on yourself? You told Nightmare Moon / Luna that it all could be just a big misunderstanding. While yourself never considered the same between you and Rarity. What if it is normal for Rarity to offer so many gifts even to Strangers? I think you hurt Rarity more than you think with your scolding and now she doesn't know what to do, because she properly used always gifts to fix problems and now lacks options. I think you should ask Pinkie Pie about Rarity, she probably knows more about it than you think.

“Nope,” Twilight said firmly, her eyes closed and nose raised high. She raised her foreleg and continued, “Wings of a pegasus are fragile and very vulnerable to sharp objects, and damaging them would result in taking away pegasus’ ability to fly, at least until it is properly healed. Horn of an unicorn is delicate as well, but it is not soft as feathers and far, far harder to cut or pierce with anything sharp. While poke or punch in the horn can distract unicorn from casting spells by disturbing their focus, some unicorns in the guards sometime used their horns as weapon.” Twilight shook her head and smiled awkwardly, “Hehe… not that it is wise if you ask me.”
After clearing her throat, she spoke again. “Anyway, in short. Pegasus wings can endure punches or crashing into solid objects, but are very fragile to sharp objects while unicorn’s horn is the most fragile when one try to cast a spell, but I am sure that massaging it is not the same what massaging a wing.”
Twilight shook her head and smiled widely. “I did. After Philomena offered to participate in my research on her abilities, she was more than willing to let me ride on her, good times.”
“Hmn…” Twilight rubbed her chin in contemplation, sitting while her eyes glared to the left.”Aside form being Wonderbolts’ medic, which I must admit was the best job I could dream of. There are many possibilities.”
The little unicorn moved her foreleg from under her neck and raised her head. “With my raw power, I could easy join the guards, especially with all the training I already had during my combat sessions, and guards were always very friendly to me. I could even work side by side with my brother.” Twilight’s ears dropped, her hoof landing on the table. “But from Spitfire told me, being a guard is very boring. They always must stand in one place like statues or patrol peaceful streets with years between fights against monsters and such, and even Shining Armor is forced to do a lot of paper work and rarely see action. There is no way I can stand in place for so long.”
Twilight stand on her rear hooves while a tissue levitated onto her neck, quickly tying up around her neck as if it was a cape. “I can always take a job in magic related fields. I am unsure that researching or teaching magic would be my think as I wouldn’t have many opportunities to exercise, but maybe the princess have need for battle mages or archmages. Ponies that with help of their magic beat monsters and take names as Spitfire would say.”
Twilight nodded as her tail flapped to the side. “This sounds like a really good idea. But I rarely find time to write between my reading and exercise. Maybe Cadence and Spike can help me out… after I modify my schedule a bit.”
Twilight giggled, “Blow up the class on entire building most likely. If I got into the school while my overwhelming raw power would still sleep inside me, it would be only a matter of time before my surge would destroy good part of it, injure many of my classmates and tear me apart from the inside.” Suddenly Twilight’s ears dropped, her laughter and smile vanished and eyes opened widely. She continued with much more depressed tone, “Not when I say it aloud, it does sounds terrifying. My own magic would kill me if the princess was not around to shrink me and teach me later on.”
“Bullet dodged.”
Twilight’s depression deepened as she rubbed the table with her hoof while laying on it. “I am afraid no. After I was shrunk, I had so much on my head, so many fears to deal with, that Spike completely slipped my mind. I forgot about him until I meet him in the hallway.” She sighed. “Poor Spike. I have no idea how long it would take before the princess would find our that ponies she entrusted the baby dragon were more into research rather than carrying for him, and if I didn’t encountered him by accident, I would never learn what it feels like to have someone to take care of.”
Twilight stood back to her hooves and nodded. “Kind of. Even since I could run around Canterlot freely, the princess once took me into some sort of goods exchange she supervised. I tried to participate of course and my mentor and foalsitter allowed me to exchange my old doll house and toys for something else. My puppy stare helped me during the negotiations, but after I noticed a stand with pony shaped lamps, I really wanted to have one that looked like Celestia, so I offered my pony guard’s figures and plead with all my charm to a pegasus with disabled legs… poor pony. Anyway, you can guess how it ended.”
“Cookies and sweets!” Twilight yelled cheerfully while standing on her rear hooves and spread her forelegs. “With my activity, I need a lot of energy, so I can eat a lot of cookies, icecreams and sugar products, and with my size, they always last me for days.” Her enthusiasm died quickly as she reasserted herself and sat. “Though sweets most likely count as snacks and not actual food. I guess my favourite food is hayburger with a lot of ketchup and mustard. I can eat more than half each day if I push myself very hard during my training.”
“Oh… this is a tough question.” Twilight once again entered her contemplation mode while muttering to herself, “Accident in bathroom was terrifying, but it helped me deal with fear of magic. Falling from princess’s tower let me meet Fancy Pants family and play with White Path. Being assaulted by criminals on crystal mountain helped me get along with Spitfire and become Wonderbolts’ medic.” She quickly stood and continued firmly, “I guess I need to choose between stopping myself from stabbing my hoof with a needle to save myself drama from my filly-hood.” She shivered at the memory. ”Stopping my mentor from stomping on me during our game of tag to save her from that sad experience. What I mean is…I already got rid of my fears and forgot the pain I endured, but my poor mentor still feel guilt over this event.” Twilight took few deep breaths before continuing, “And finally stopping myself from being baked and later eaten… or warning the princess…”
Twilight stomp her hoof against the table, determination visible on her face as she spoke firmly, “That’s it. If I could go back in time, I would warm my mentor about attack that took place during my birthday party. Not only it would save my family and friends a lot of harsh memories, and it would save me the pain of crushing chest when I was punched against the wall, but most importantly, it would prevent so many guards and hostile ponies from dying in this nonsensical attack.”
Twilight shook her head. “No, but I saw many ambassadors and delegates from Griffon Empire and faction of minotaurs and dragon’s representatives eating it. I even once feared that they would try to eat me by the way they stared at me from time to time, but I squashed those fears with ease.”
Twilight lowered her head in shame, her ears dropping. “I doubt it… I mean, I am not alicorn and I have no grasp of what it is like to be one… to live for centuries, always young and filled with power while everypony you know dies around you from old age. From the way Nightmare Moon acted, I assume that they have strong minds and will to endure such torture alongside hunger, cold and thirst, but I doubt I would be able to keep my sanity, more or less resist anger and hate towards those who imprisoned me in the first place. It just seems… impossible.” She slowly raised her head while tears threatened to form in her eyes. “Nightmare Moon focused all her anger and rage and directed it towards Celestia to stay sane and not hurt any other ponies. I would probably also need one target for all blame and hate in order to no hurt anypony else in some sort of vengence.”
Twilight shook her head. “I am afraid not. I never encountered such field of magic during my studies.”
Twilight nodded and shook her foreleg. “I not really read about it, but ever since I meet Fleur, I learned a lot of new activities for me to practice. Ballet, hoof standing on guard’s horns, balancing giant book or cup of tea on my head, hoof standing on hot coal.” Twilight giggled and pointed at her own hoof before adding, “I even once tried to hoof stand on guard’s spear while his horseshoe was weighing on my hind legs. It was very hard to clear my mind during such harsh activity, but the poor guard had even harder time, breaking his stoic posture to look at me from time to time with worry, afraid that his spear would wound my hoof.”

“Books about aristocracy and politics,” Twilight said firmly with annoyance in her voice. “I always found political games stupid waste of time… Fake smiles and speeches, kissing other’s hooves, backstabbing, gaining influence by the cost of others, it is like a game where sharks try to eat one another or fighting over one meal.”
Twilight lied on the table, her eyes looking at its surface. “I wish I could, but no pony would take me seriously, and I would not last sitting in one place for hours… it is just so hard.”
Twilight smiled awkwardly. “I think… I can endure…”
