Storm looked around, noticing that they were back in Ponyville. "Well, that was a pretty convenient landing point..." He commented idly before putting a hoof in his mouth and blowing, returning to his normal state of inflation. "Right back to Sugarcube Corner, yep definitely convenient..." Storm said smiling. "Want some help getting down?" He asked Pinkie, still smiling widely.

@,

 

Rather than give a direct answer to Storm's question, Pinkie Pie walked up in front of him. "You were saying?"

 

Just then, Twilight conveniently walked by. "Hello, Pinkie."

 

"Hiya, Twilight!" replied Pinkie. "Hey, uh, can you cast the cloud-walking spell on me, please?"

 

Twilight nodded. Her horn lit. "There you go."

 

"Thanks!" said Pinkie. She hopped onto Storm's back. "Shall we go?"

Storm tilted his head to the right. "Shouldn't we drop the pastries off with the Cakes first?" He asked. "Or did you already do that when I was distracted?" Storm questioned happily. "Or are you planning to drop them off later?" He continued smiling as he asked the next question. "Or should I just not worry about it and fly to the house?"

[Rainbow Eclipse 3,927]

@,

 

"The second option! I dropped them off while you wre distracted!" replied Pinkie Pie. "Anyway, let's go! I'm interested in seeing what your house is like! I've been in Dashie's house before, but hey, I doubt yours is an exact replica!" she said enthusiastically.

@@Rainbow Eclipse, 

 

"Well, my house is differently styled and a bit smaller..." Storm replied. "Though I do have a basement type storage area to keep the cider barrels cool." He said. "Now then, my next question is about speed.." Storm informed her with a grin. "How fast do you want me to go?" 

[Rainbow Eclipse 3,927]

@,

 

Pinkie Pie listened intently to Storm Shine's description of his home. "I think I'll enjoy staying over at your place quite a bit..."

 

'Yup. Boyfriend material right there.'

 

"How fast do you want me to go?"

 

"Anything is fine by me. I can handle it," answered Pinkie Pie with a smirk.

"Oh? Anything hm?" Storm asked with a mischievous smirk. "All right then, hang on tight!" He exclaimed, flaring out his wings and waiting a minute to let his passenger get a good grip. He had waited about half a minute before Storm took off into the air leaving Sugarcube Corner behind in a sonic boom.

A minute later Storm stopped, alighting easily on the porch of his cloud house. He turned his head to look at Pinkie with a smile. "So.... How was that?"

[Rainbow Eclipse 3,927]

@,

 

The sheer speed of the flight had made the skin around Pinkie's head flap back during the journey, so she had to arrange it back into its proper shape.

 

"That. Was. AWESOME!" she said, throwing her hoof in the air.

 

"Now let's see this also-awesome house of yours!" she went on.

Storm chuckled as he walked over to the door and pushed it open. "Sure thing, come on in." He told Pinkie as he walked in. "Over there is the Living room, where I keep my non-cookbooks like the Daring Doo series." He said pointing over to the left, where there was a medium sized room with a door on the far side just a little ways to the right from the couch and the coffee table. There was a medium sized book shelf on the left.

 

"There's the kitchen, I keep my cookbooks and well, obviously food and ingredients I guess... It connects to the dining room on the other side." Storm chuckled pointing to the right. "And over down that hall is the bathroom on the left and a little further down on the right is my room, with the guest room being the door on the left." He told Pinkie as he pointed straight across from the front door. "And the door over by the couch leads to the 'Cider Cellar' as I call it.." Storm finished, walking towards the Kitchen. "Want some cider?" He asked over his shoulder.

[Rainbow Eclipse 3,927]

@,

 

Pinkie looked around the room they were currently in. "Awesome place you got yourself here!" she said in admiration.

 

When she was offered cider, she gave an eager, "Yes please!"

 

'If what he says about stockpiling cider is true, we gotta host a cider party sometime!'

@@Rainbow Eclipse, 

 

Storm chuckled as he poured Pinkie and himself a large cup of cider from the fridge. "Yeah, it's not as big as Dash's house, or as fancy as the ones in Canterlot.. But it definitely gets the job done.." He said. "It took me a while to get the design just right, so I went through a period at the beginning where I destroyed and remade it almost every day.."

 

Storm informed her with a chuckle as he added a few apple slices to the cider. "But eventually I made it into what you can see now..." He smiled and handed Pinkie a cup of cider. "It just feels right I guess.."

[Rainbow Eclipse 3,927]

@,

 

"Yes it does," said Pinkie Pie. "Right in every aspect. That's what you get when you put in care and dedication."

 

She sipped from her cider. "Mmm... apple-y!" she commented.

 

She pointed behind Storm. "Just to point out that that picture frame over there is slanted ever so slightly."

@@Rainbow Eclipse, 

 

Storm turned his head to look at the picture frame and put his cup of apple cider on the coffee table. "So it is.." He replied happily, getting up from where he had sat on the couch and walking over to it. "Let's see..." He said, standing on two legs and using the other two to adjust the picture a little to the right. "Hmm.. Hey Pinkie, does it look straight now?" He asked, being to close to be able to properly tell.

[Rainbow Eclipse 3,927]

@,

 

Pinkie's head stretched over to the picture to inspect it. "Yup! Looks about zero degrees rotated!" she said.

 

Whilst Storm Shine had ben distracted, Pinkie had poured four drops of the shrinking potion, which Riley had given her to borrow, into his cider.

Storm smiled and looked at the picture as he backed towards the couch. "Thanks Pinkie, I probably wouldn't have noticed that.." He told her as he arrived back at the couch and plopped back down. "Actually I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have..." Storm said thoughtfully, taking a swig of his apple cider before his eyes widened. "Wha?-" He managed to say as he started to shrink.

*POOF!* went Storm Shine as he instantly popped down to a centimetre tall.

 

Pinkie picked him up by the tail. "I hope you can forgive me for this. It's just that there's something I really wanted to try with you..."

 

She inflated her belly, and propped the tiny pony onto it.

@@Rainbow Eclipse, 

 

Storm looked up at Pinkie and tilted his head to the right in confusion. "Forgive you for what?" He asked her. "It's not like I'm shrunk forever or something... Right?" Storm questioned before an idle thought struck him. "I could totally go for a giant muffin right about now..." He commented absentmindedly. 

[Rainbow Eclipse 3,927]

@,

 

Pinkie placed a muffin on her belly near Storm Shine. Normal-sized to her, monolithic for the small colt. "I just put four drops in your cider, so no, you're shrunk for two minutes, not forever. I just thought you'd be irritated at me for shrinking you without permission."

 

"See, I was just wondering if you wanted to bounce on my belly."

[Storm Shine 1,196]

@@Rainbow Eclipse, 

 

"Muffin!" Storm shouted out, jumping over and wrapping all four of his hooves around the muffin. He hummed for a moment before opening his mouth and quickly chomping the muffin up in one impossibly large bite. "Mmmmm.." Storm savored the muffin. "I guess, if you want me to...?" He said, giving a little hop and ended up bouncing a good inch into the air and coming back down. "Whee!" He exclaimed, coming back down and bouncing back up.

[Rainbow Eclipse 3,927]

@,

 

Pinkie Pie's giggling soon escalated into laughing as Storm Shine continued bouncing on her belly like a tramploline. "It tickles!" she managed to get out. Having the teeny-tiny pony hop up and down on her belly was one of the many highlights of the day.

Storm laughed as he continued bouncing, but after a bit he felt an odd tingling feeling. Flapping his wings Storm stayed airborne as he returned to his normal size. "Heh, that was certainly a unique experience.." Storm chuckled as he landed next to the couch, glad that he had realized what was happening. It probably wouldn't have been fun for Pinkie to have him land on her in his full size..

"I'm sure it must have been!" said Pinkie. "Perhaps we should try it the other way round sometime!"

 

"But for now, how about we go fetch something to eat?" she suggested. "Well, not a full meal. More like a snack. The spaghetti and hayballs really hit the spot for me!"

Storm chuckled again as he walked into the kitchen. "Yeah, just hang tight I'll have a snack for us in a minute or so." He called over his shoulder. A couple minutes later he walked out with a few plates balanced on his wings. "Here we go, some muffins and apple slices.. I hope that's good for now.." Storm said, putting the plates on the coffee table.

"Mmm, nice selection! It certainly will be good for now," said Pinkie. She popped a muffin into her mouth.

 

"Say, Storm, where'd you get the muffin from?" she asked. "I'm tasting all the ingredients in order. The flour, then the sugar, then the salt, then the baking powder, then the oil, then the egg, then the milk, then the butter, then the cinnamon..."

Storm smiled. "Oh, Ditzy taught me to make some really yummy muffins!" He told Pinkie happily. "She showed me the steps and explained why each part is added as it is..." Storm said happily. "She was pretty serious about it... But hey, she loves muffins so I guess that makes sense..." He added thoughtfully. "Plus I got that new book from Twilight recently, 'All about muffins' by Cookie Cutter." Storm remembered. "This batch was actually one of his recipes"
