Ch. 5: Big Girl, Little House

Fortunately for Sweetie Belle, there were rabbit footprints not far by and she decided to follow them.

"That rabbit is getting easier to find every minute." said a smug Sweetie Belle.

She followed the footprints until they led to a very nice house.

"Hmm," Sweetie Belle mused, "why would Angel go in there?"

She then went inside the house to search for the elusive rabbit. She then went into a fancy bedroom where she searched all over until she came across a glass of water.

'Well," said Sweetie hesitantly, "I'm sure thirsty from all this searching and the owner probably won't mind if I had a little sip."

With that she took a small sip of the water.

"Wow," said Sweetie Belle as she stopped, "refreshing."

Suddenly, she gave a surprised looked as she felt her stomach churning, causing her to groan and pain and clench her stomach while bending over.

"Ooh," said Sweetie in pain, "Why do I have a feeling that drinking that water wasn't wise?"

As if receiving her answer, Sweetie Belle saw her legs grow to humongous size and pretty soon, her arms were doing the same thing, but that didn't stop there as her entire body once again grew to humongous size. Sweetie Belle groaned anxiously as she grew to the size of where she couldn't fit in the house and, soon enough, her legs, arms, and head breaked through the lower, middle, and upper parts of the house respectively.

"Oh, come on!" shouted Sweetie Belle in exasperation, "Why does everything I digest in this place have an effect on my size?!"

"Need a hand, partner?" said a southern voice. Sweetie Belle turned her head and saw a female dark orange lizard dressed as a chimmney sweeper while carrying a ladder wearing a cowboy hat.

"Names Apple the Lizard," said the lizard courtly, "professional chimney sweeper."

"I'm Sweetie Belle," said the giant 14 year old.

"Well, Sweetie," said Apple, "it seems you got a 'big problem'."

As Apple laughed at her joke, Sweetie Belle gave an annoyed and embarrassed groan.

'Sorry," said Apple through her snorts and chuckles, "Now, how did you grow into a giant/"

"I took only a small sip of this glass of water in the house." Sweetie said.

"Yeah," said Apple, "water can make you grow. Is there anything I can do?"

Sweetie Belle was giving it some thought before being struck with an idea, "Try finding some food and we'll see what it'll do to me there."

Apple gave a sakute and said, "Yes ma'am."

As luck would have it, Apple found an apple garden not far by and came back with a nice, juicy apple.

"Thank you, Apple!" exclaimed Sweetie Belle gratefully.

"No trouble," said Apple, using her ladder to reach the enlarged Sweetie Belle, "Open wide,"

Sweetie Belle opened her mouth and Apple Threw the apple in, causing Sweetie Belle to close her mouth as she gulped the apple down.

"There we go," said Apple.

"Y'know, you remind of my friend's sister back home."

"Really?" said an intrigued Apple, "What's her name?"

"Appleja..."

Before Sweetie Belle could finish, she gave another look of surprise as, in an instant, she shrunk down.

But not to her normal height, no, Sweetie Belle was now the height of a fruit fly.

"Great," said Sweetie Belle dourly, "this'll make my journey more difficult.

Apple suddenly came into the house and frantically searched for Sweetie Belle.

"Sweetie Belle?!" shouted Apple, "Sweetie Belle, where are you?"

Sweetie tried to get Apple's attention until she decided to grab her by the tail.

When she did however, Apple turned to see and immediately freaked out.

"A BUG!"

Apple used her tail as a slingshot to rid itself of the bug, unknowingly sending the girl she was looking for off into the distance.

Sweetie Belle screamed for her life before crashing headfirst into a large plate of grass.
