Within a rather pristine Vanhoover laboratory on a pleasant afternoon, Dr. High Gear was carefully adjusting the various dials, nobs, buttons and switches on her teleporter’s console.

“Y’know,” Verdant casually said as he leaned back on the teleporter. “We could just go to SubNeigh, get some small subs and reset the counter for this and call it a day.”

“Not gonna happen,” High Gear said through gritted teeth as her right eye twitched. “It’s gonna work this time. No ifs, ands or buts.”

“Oh, I know butts will be involved if we go through with this, Doctor,” Verdant replied as he laid back. “Might as well just fire that thing up, send me into somepony and then I'll make you pay for the biggest sub sandwich I can get my hooves on.”

“Initiating startup,” High Gear ignored the shamrock stallion as the teleporter started to hum to life.

The panels on the teleporter started brightly glowing when all the lights in the room suddenly went black. The whirring of the various machines soon fell silent.

With a loud sigh of frustration, High Gear reached into her lab coat and pulled out a glow stick. Quickly snapping and shaking the stick, she could see that Verdant was nowhere to be seen in the darkness of the lab.

“Alright, who’s the dumb bastard who forgot to pay the electric bill?” Gear exclaimed, her voice echoing throughout the building.

“Weren’t you the one that was supposed to drop off the cheque this month?” a voice that she recognized as Bunsen Burner’s replied from the hallway.

High Gear was rather glad that the darkness and green light of the glow stick hid her blush.

“SHIT!”

In a flash, Verdant found himself falling through the air before landing hard on his belly. As he forced himself to his sore hooves, he saw that not only was he on a kitchen counter next to a boiling pot of beans on the stove, but also in front of a mare that per expectation, towered over the pea-sized pony.

The rather stunned mare had a coat that was the color of cream while her mane had two colors. Her left side was a dark blue while the right was a light pink color.

“WHAT THE…” the amazing colossal mare leaned down closer to Verdant, allowing him to get an up close and personal look at her teal eyes. “IS THAT A TINY PONY?”

To his great relief, the mare then turned her head so her right ear was faced towards the tiny stallion.

“Excuse me, Miss!” Verdant shouted, hoping his little voice was enough to reach the giant mare’s ears. “My name is Verdant Range. Is this Ponyville?”

“YES, IT IS.” Though the giantess tried to be quieter with her words, it was still quite thunderous for Verdant. “MY NAME IS BON BON AND I MAKE CANDY HERE.”

“Okay, Bon Bon! I need you to find Twilight Sparkle and tell her I’m back in town! She’ll know how to fix this!” Verdant’s exclamation caused Bon Bon to pull away. With a flick of her foreleg, she flicked the stove off and started to run out of the kitchen.

“Okay, I’ll go find her and get her to fix this!” She shouted as she approached the house’s front door. “Lyra, could you take care of the shrunken pony on the kitchen counter?! Also, dinner’s ready!”

“Wait, dammit!” Verdant futilely shouted from his spot on the counter. “Why didn’t you take me with you?!”

When the sound of the front door slamming shut was the only response, Verdant slumped down and sighed. “Great. Now how will things end up getting worse?”

Verdant’s ears perked up at the sound of a toilet being flushed somewhere in the distance. A moment later, another pony entered the kitchen.

This mare was a unicorn with an aquamarine coat that paired well with her mane which was a pale cyan, streaked through with white highlights.

The unicorn looked around confused as she arrived in the kitchen. “BON BON, WHAT WAS THAT YOU SAID ABOUT DINNER?”

Her gamboge eyes failed to see Verdant as they focused in on the bubbling pot of beans.

The unicorn known as Lyra took in a deep whiff of the beans before sighing in delight. “HMMM… IT SMELLS SO GOOD… I’M SURE BON BON WON’T MIND IF HAVE THE FIRST ONE.”

“Hey, Lyra!” Verdant hopped and squeaked, pointlessly trying to get the unicorn’s attention as she used her magic to pull some tortillas from a cupboard and a large spoon from a drawer.

The oblivious mare merrily hummed to herself as she held a tortilla in the air and scooped up some of the beans. As she poured some of the saucy beans, a few of them fell from the spoon and landed on top of Verdant, completely burying him.

“OOPS,” Lyra briefly muttered before shrugging her shoulders. “OH WELL. FIVE SECOND RULE.”

Before Verdant could emerge from the small bean pile, he felt himself suddenly being scooped up. When he finally managed to push his head free, Verdant saw he was being pulled by Lyra’s massive tongue behind her closing lips.

“Oh, motherf-” Verdant’s curse was interrupted by the tongue suddenly moving him and the beans towards her rapidly descending teeth. The shrunken stallion only had a split second to leap off one of her molars before he could be crushed. He barely managed to jump onto the bumpy surface of her tongue before she began to crush the saucy beans into a thick paste.

Despite trying to cling as tightly as he could, Verdant was unable to keep his grip, courtesy of the mare’s slippery mouth and the powerful force of her giant tongue. The force of the tongue flicking back and the throat opening up was enough to easily send him hurtling downward.

Lyra’s throat muscles were surprisingly some of the strongest Verdant had encountered as he was squeezed down, landing with the mess of mashed beans in her nearly empty stomach.

“Well,” Verdant grumbled as he looked around the pulsating chamber. “At least I’m getting that sub once this is over.”

Lyra was happily humming to herself as she was applying the last of the finishing touches to her burrito, applying a new type of hot sauce she’d been meaning to try.

Just as she finished applying the last of the sauce, she heard the front door opening up. “Lyra!”

“Hey, Bon Bon!” Lyra happily called out as she picked up a second burrito in her magic. “Perfect timing. I just finished prepping the burritos.” As Lyra looked over her shoulder, she was rather surprised to see Twilight standing by Bon Bon’s side.

“That’s good to hear, Lyra, but where’s Verdant?” Bon Bon asked as she grabbed the burrito Lyra passed to her.

“Who?” Lyra asked as she picked up her own burrito.

“When I headed out to get Twilight, I asked you to take care of this shrunken pony named Verdant,” Bon Bon said as she moved over to the counter.

“Sorry, but I couldn’t really hear anything ‘cuz I was in the bathroom,” Lyra replied. “I could barely hear anything you said and I just came down to see you’d finished making dinner.”

“Well, Verdant’s got to be here somewhere,” Twilight interjected as she drew closer to the kitchen counter, only to halt when Bon Bon suddenly held up a hoof.

Bon Bon leaned closer to the counter and spotted the telltale remnants of a sauce stain that had been wiped up. “Lyra, did you spill some beans on the counter?”

“Well, yeah,” the minty mare replied with a shrug of her shoulders. “But it’s no big deal. I licked them up within five seconds, so it’s all good.” Lyra then started to take several large bites of her burrito, making her face turn pepper red.

“Whoa,” Lyra huffed as she fanned herself with a hoof. “This is quite the hot sauce.” She then started to quickly scarf down the rest of the burrito.

Bon Bon could only sigh at Lyra’s nonchalance. “Twilight, could you-”

“I’m already on it,” Twilight interjected, her horn lighting up a bright magenta. “This is the fifth time I’ve had to help him out with this sort of thing.”

“Umm…” Lyra spoke through a mouthful of burrito before swallowing, staring down at her guest as she examined her belly. “What are you doing?”

“Finding Verdant,” the lavender mare replied as the light from her horn faded away and she pulled away. “And it turns out my guess was right. He’s currently inside your stomach.”

“WHAT?!” Lyra stumbled back as she exclaimed. “How’s that possible?! How are we gonna get him oOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” She clutched her belly as she felt a powerful and terrible rumbling from within. “What’s happening?”

“Lyra, I think that’s the hot sauce kicking in,” Bon Bon answered as she picked up the bottle in question. “The label says it’s called ‘Butt-Blaster Habanero’.”

“BATHROOM!” Lyra screamed as she bolted away like a Wonderbolt. Twilight and Bon Bon were left far behind as she ran up the stairs to the bathroom. The door slammed shut as the two reached the top of the stairs.

As Bon Bon reached for the door, a powerful pained scream came from the sealed room, along with a rather disgusting wet, splattering noise.

A small smile stretched across Verdant’s muzzle as he could faintly make out the voice of Twilight Sparkle coming from the other side of the stomach walls.

“Well, hopefully this means I’ll be getting out of here quicker than usual.” He muttered to himself as the upper opening of the stomach opened up, allowing chunks of chewed up burrito to splash down into the acidic pools.

“Man, either you’re really hungry or you don’t have the best table manners,” Verdant said to no one as more and more bits of burrito splashed down into the stomach, making the juices start to rapidly bubble.

After a few moments, the stomach started to rapidly spasm all about. Verdant screamed in surprise as one of the spasms sent him hurtling into the steaming digestive lake.

The fleshy chamber continued to spasm and clench. A valve in the stomach opened and Verdant felt as if he was being fired out of a cannon as both he and the juices were launched into Lyra’s intestine.

The rushing current sent the screaming stallion flying face first through the tunnel of flesh. His face was constantly being smacked by Lyra’s villi as the tsunami sent him on the world’s most disgusting water slide.

He soon reached the end of the small intestine, but the intense force of the current just kept pushing him through the running mare’s body.

The rushing river was soon mixed with the collection of waste from Lyra’s previous meals as he continued hurtling towards the clenched ring that was her anus.

A scream rang through Verdant ears as he was sent flying from Lyra’s body. As he soared, his eyes shrunk to pinpricks as he saw that instead of splashing down into a toilet bowl, he was going to crash directly into the toilet’s raised lid.

The shrunken stallion struck with a sickening splat, followed swiftly by the fecal geyser that slammed against him. Verdant was thankful to Faust that the sickening flow stopped after a good ten seconds before he slid down onto the toilet’s seat.

“LYRA,” Bon Bon’s concerned voice boomed from the other side of the bathroom door. “ARE YOU OKAY IN THERE?”

“I’M SORE, BUT I THINK I’LL BE FINE.” Verdant turned his attention to the unicorn that laid on the bathroom’s tiled floor. Her face was pressed against it while her flank was raised with her tail moved to the side, giving him an unimpeded view of the sore hole he’d just been launched from.

“LYRA, IS VERDANT OKAY?” The minty mare’s ears stood at attention at Twilight’s question.

After a moment of straining to get back to her hooves and turning about, Lyra turned around to see Verdant was now standing on one part of the toilet that was still white. “YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S OKAY… BUT HE’S GONNA NEED A BATH AND WE’LL NEED A LOT OF BLEACH.”

A tense silence hung in the air until Bon Bon spoke up once more. “HOW BAD IS IT?”

“WELL, REMEMBER THAT PREQUEL TO THAT MOVIE ABOUT THOSE TWO IDIOTS? THE ONE WITH SCENE WITH THE MELTED CANDY BAR?”

“YEAH?” Bon Bon’s reply was dripping with worry.

“OKAY, NOW MULTIPLY IT BY ABOUT TEN.”

Nearly an hour later, Verdant was fully restored to his proper height and washed off. Feeling rather sorry for what happened, Lyra and Bon Bon gave him a bag of strawberry flavored candies as an apology.

When Verdant stepped off the train back to Vanhoover, he was rather happy to see Beanstalk and High Gear were waiting for him. The shamrock stallion was quickly swept up into a tight hug by Beans before she gently placed him back on the ground.

“Sorry about this, Verdant,” High Gear said as she nervously rubbed the back of her neck. “I don’t know why this crap keeps happening, but I’ll try to make sure it won’t happen again.”

“It’s okay, Gear,” Verdant replied with a soft smile. “I know it’s just a series of freaky coincidences. On the bright side, you didn’t have to take a trip to Ponyville this time and now I’ll be getting my sub.”

“Right, right,” Gear chuckled as she and the two earth ponies started to trot away from the train station. “Hopefully me buying subs won’t be a recurring thing.”

“Who knows what the future holds?” Verdant replied as they walked about.

After a few minutes, the trio arrived at SubNeigh. The restaurant was sparkling clean and thankfully, the three had managed to arrive before the dinner rush, with nopony waiting in line for their orders.

“Alright, Verdant,” Gear patted the earth pony stallion on the shoulder. “Go place your order for any sub and I’ll pay for it. Heck, I’ll even get the same for Beans.”

“Aww, thanks, Gear. I was getting pretty hungry,” the towering mare said as the scientist trotted up to the register.

As Gear reached the register, Beans and Verdant stepped up to place their order.

“Hi there. I’d like to order a footlong daisy, lettuce and tomato with honey mustard on nine-grain honey oat,” Beans said as the employee started to work on her order.

“And what can I get for you, sir?” the unicorn behind the counter asked when she saw the warm smile on Verdant's face had morphed into a wicked grin.

A dark chortle drew Beans’ eyes to him before he began speaking. “I’ll take a twelve-foot chicken, hay-bacon ranch melt with extra hay-bacon and sauce, swiss cheese and parmesan on Bitalian herb and cheese.”

As the employee began to work on their orders, Beanstalk leaned down to whisper in Verdant’s ear. “Verdant, is it really okay for you to order one of those things?”

“Considering all the literal crap I’ve had to go through since I became her guinea pig, I’d say so.” Verdant casually replied. “Besides, she did say I could order any. Not my fault that she didn’t set a size limit.”

Beans gave a chuckle as an employee came out of the back room, carrying an absurdly long piece of bread.

“Wait, why would you need a-” High Gear began to speak before she spotted the villainous smile on Verdant’s face and realized what he had done.

“Oh, you bastard!” she furiously exclaimed with a glare that could kill a puppy.

After the three had received their orders, the pair had split up. Beans and Gear went back to their apartment to help Pix with a game project she was working on while Verdant went to his own home.

The shamrock stallion had soon cut the sandwich into twelve pieces and stuffed eleven of them into his enchanted fridge. In this fridge, the sandwich would last for nearly a year. He planned on savoring the sub for every single moment it was worth.

To that end, he had soon brewed up a little potion he’d found in a cook book he’d borrowed from the library. It was for a potion that used shrinking violets to allow him to shrink down to the size of a pea. Once it was finished up, along with an antidote, he poured some of it into a small bottle before stepping onto his table.

“Oh, I’m gonna enjoy you for looooooooooooooooooong time,” he said before licking his lips and taking a swig of the shrinking potion.

The world seemed to greatly expand around Verdant as the potion swiftly shrank him down in front of his mammoth sized meal. With him reduced to his tiny size, he quickly skittered across the table and climbed up the bready structure before crawling inside and taking a bite out of a succulent piece of hay bacon.

After a few minutes of digging into his colossal meal, a distant yet loud noise reached his shrunken ears. It was the sound of his front door being unlocked and opened.

Verdant knew only a few ponies had keys to his home. His parents and sisters, but they all lived in Fillydelphia, so it likely wasn’t them. The only ponies in Vanhoover with keys were Beans and…

“VERDANT? YOU IN HERE?” High Gear’s voice echoed about. The shamrock stallion tried to move out of the sandwich, but a heavy dollop of ranch sauce fell on top of him, making him stick to the sandwich.

“I’ve tempted the gods of irony, haven’t I?” Verdant asked aloud as High Gear drew nearer.

“Verdant, you in here?” The scientist called out as she entered the house. Looking about, she saw no sign of the stallion.

“I wanted to say I’m sorry about being so mad earlier,” she said as she headed towards the kitchen. “Yeah, you cost me a lot of money, but I’ve only been through a fraction of the crap you have since we started this.”

A moment passed with no reply being heard by the bespectacled mare.

“Eh, guess I’ll just leave him a note,” Gear said with a shrug before pulling a piece of paper from her jacket and placing it onto the table. She then pulled out a pen and started to write a message with her mouth.

Verdant.

Sorry about being mad earlier. Still, the max limit on size for any future subs is one foot with no extra toppings I’d be charged for.

- High Gear P.H.D.

As she finished up her note, a rumble came from High Gear’s belly. She briefly glanced down at her stomach before looking back up to the table where the sandwich laid. Then a wicked grin stretched across her muzzle before adding something to the letter.

P.S. I’m stealing part of your sub. I paid a small fortune for it, I deserve some of it.

Stuffing the pen back into her pocket, High Gear licked her lips as she picked up the footlong sandwich.

A powerful quake rocked the shrunken stallion as the sandwich was picked up. Looking ahead, Verdant saw the gaping, glistening maw of Gear as the sandwich drew closer.

“Shit! Not again!” Verdant screamed as he struggled to free himself from the thick sauce, only for a chunk of chicken to fall and further pin him.

He tried to struggle out from under the chunk, but it was too late. Another quake rocked Verdant from the unicorn taking a large bite of the sub.

Verdant landed with a faint splat against her warm tongue. The piece of chicken rolled off of him as the tongue started to move about the sandwich chunks, directing them towards her colossal mashing teeth.

Acting quickly, he grabbed onto her tongue. His grip was thankfully strong enough to keep him from being crushed by her teeth.

Verdant was splattered by a mix of chunks of chewed up sandwich and saliva. He shook like a dog to try and fling the spit and sub from his coat.

It wasn’t long before the shamrock stallion was buried by the chewed up food. The weight was too much for his grip and he began to slide towards the back of Gear’s tongue.

Verdant sighed as the tongue began to rise up and he saw he was sliding under her uvula.

“Well, I’m counting this as the first of the new ten,” he tiredly said as High Gear swallowed, sending him down into her esophagus.

He was squeezed down with the sandwich mush by the powerful muscles before he splashed down into the stomach that was otherwise empty, save for a small pool of her bubbling acids.

As Verdant tried to pull himself from the sandwich, a deafening hum reached his ears, forcing him to quickly cover them.

“Hmm…” Gear hummed in delight as she savored the aftertaste of the sandwich. “That’s some good stuff. I should probably head to SubNeigh more often.”

As she started to bring the sandwich back towards her lips to take another bite, she paused.

“Wait a sec…” She set the sandwich back down on the table and activated her hoof mounted scanner. The beeping like crazy told her exactly where Verdant was.

“Oh Faust dammit!” She angrily exclaimed before sighing in annoyance. After a deep breath, she looked down to her belly.

“Sorry about this, Verdant.” She remorsefully said, hoping the shrunken stallion would accept her apology. “I should have scanned before just eating the sandwich. I swear, I’ll make it up to you on your birthday.”

As if in response, her belly gave a small gurgle.

“In the meantime,” High Gear said as she picked up the sandwich once more. “I’m gonna head home and finish off this sandwich. I’ll be sure to get you out… Well, I’ll let you out tomorrow morning.”

As the hornless unicorn took another bite of the sandwich, a loud series of curses she’d be unable to hear began to come from inside her stomach.
