...
Ironically, Dipper was actually fairly 'average' sized for his species and age...sadly he had no way of knowing this...all he knew was that a cute filly had attacked the essence of what made him a boy...and he had no comeback...
The instant Sunset had said those four words Celestia had quickly grabbed and dragged her outside to have a long talk with her...but the damage was already done...
...later that night...
Dipper, ruler in hand cautiously snuck toward the royal barracks...where the guards were taking a snooze...
...Dipper knew he had to be careful...considering what he was about to do...if he got caught...he doubt even being Celestia's son would save him...so it was very important...
"Comparing sizes are we?" Said a sudden, familiar, teasing voice in his ear that made Dipper jump up in fright.
Sunset Shimmer was an orphan...an orphan who'd been lucky enough to catch the eyes of Princess Celestia herself. And thus she'd been adopted- Well, technically it was an 'apprenticeship', but she was in a new home with a new mom- MENTOR! She meant mentor!...in any case it was an adoption for all intents and purposes really...
...and then she found out she'd have to share Celestia's attention with...THIS. She'd admit to being mildly interested in meeting a new species...but...it just be best if he left...
Naturally, Celestia had made it very clear that she favored him and the consequences of another 'issue' that happened earlier...but if the boy deliberately did things to undermine his confidence and prove her point...well...who was she to stand in his way? Better yet, who was she NOT to help him do so?
Once more Dipper flustered in the presence of the cute filly...even more so with her early comment ringing in his ear...
Sunset smirked at his discomfort...and helped him sneak into the guards barrack...and one by one...they did...'measurements'..and with each one Dipper's self-esteem took another hit...
Finally, for the first time ever...Dipper felt ashamed of his nudity- especially in front of a filly -and tried to cover himself embarrassed.
Susnet saw this and giggled, "Awwww, is LITTLE- Dipper winched at that word -Dipper feeling self-conscious?" She teased.
Dipper just glared back defiantly...then a thought occurred to him.
"Wait...all the one's we measured are Stallions- he smirked -One day I'll be as big as them!" He uncovers himself and smirks at Sunset, "You'll see! One day you'll be blown away by my stuff!" He then walks away prideful.
Sunset smirks, "Oh, we'll see about that." Sunset maybe forbidden from telling him he's not a pony...but she could do something a bit more subtle.
"Shrink." She thinks with a giggle as she casts a little spell on poor, oblivious Dipper's 'area'...
"Puberty is not going to be kind to you my friend." Thinks Sunset with a laugh as she cockily swaggers after him...
...later...
-And so I'm going to the Griffon kingdom for an important political luncheon, in the meantime we'll continue our lessons through these." Explained Celestia as she handed Sunset one of two special notebooks that would allow them to send messages between each other...
Sunset gleefully took the gift said her goodbyes and went off to study more...
"Hey, Sunset! What you go there?" Asked Dipper popping up suddenly. Sunset sighed in annoyance, but eager to gloat about Celestia's gift over him, "Celestia just got me a magic Journal to communicate with her!"
"Wow, how dose it work?" Asked Dipper impressed.
Sunset smirked, "A simple two-way runic display system of course!"
"Ohhhh...how dose 'A simple two-way runic display system work?'" Asked Dipper curiously.
Sunset looked at him like he was an idiot, "Uh, MAGIC. DUH!" She snarks.
Dipper frowns, "No, I mean how dose the magic that makes it work WORK?" He asks again.
Sunset was thrown by this, you don't ask how magic works! Magic was self-explanatory! Every pony knew that!...and yet...
"...How dose it work?" Realizes a stumped Sunset...not wanting to look foolish in front of Dipper she desperately tried to regain her composure. "Right...of course I know! I'm just...I just need to figure out the best way to explain it to you so YOU'LL understand." She lies quickly.
Dipper frowns, "I...what? That makes no-"
"Look, let's go to the library to research...teaching methods!" She said quickly, "Annnnd maybe one or two books on magic theory." She thinks to herself embarrassed.
Eager to learn something new, Dipper shrugged off his confusion and chased after her...
...
Celestia sighed at the slums the once proud Griffon kingdom had become...what a waste. As she enters the meeting room filled with the other delegates, she feels her journal warm up and vibrate.
"Oh! Sunset must have a question for me! Well, I'm sure I can spare her a second." She smirks as she opens up the journal:
...平方根由siz到一百...suus 'latebat in tenebris, suus' cortex mali punici genae abominabiles facti sunt acri...فقاعة فقاعة الكدح والمتاعب
Celestia frowned at the gibberish that was being randomly generated in the journal as it glowed brighter, "What is this-
BOOM!
...
"Well...so much for building a new hospital...and a new dessert cart..." Thinks Celestia as she 'Coughs up the bits' to placate the griffons/pay for the destruction of their castle.
Celestia promptly grounded both foals when she found them both hovering over the destroyed remnants of Sunsets journal...
...many months later...
Okay Sunset would admit, having Dipper around was...AMUSING. His way of looking at the world, thinking about the world...was so weird...and kinda interesting. Before she meet him, she would just learn magic...but Dipper made her want to learn HOW magic actually worked. She never realized how much she- and most other ponies -simply accepted the 'it works because MAGIC!' explanation without a second thought... Of course, she'd have realized that eventually herself! ...still Dipper had been taking her research in some interesting directions...
His quest for a cutie mark- to be clear she only joined him on this to make fun of him! Not because she thought it was fun! Get that thought out of your head! -had shown her lots of different types of avenues of research and hobbies she'd have never thought possible!
...flashback...
"You recreated Cutie-pox?!" Asked Sunset amazed...and disturbed. "Why would you do something that stupid?" She asked baffled.
Dipper shrugged, "Think about it, it's a disease that gives you multiple cutie marks AND talents! Figure out how to control it and you could get as many talents as you want! I figured even if I didn't get a viralology cutie mark I could still use it to get a mark of my own!"
Sunset was stunned, it was insane, crazy, ludicrous! ...and yet...
She tried to shrug off her curiosity, "Well...if it's so great, why aren't you still researching it!?" She retorted.
Dipper blushed, "Uh...Mom threatened to banish me to the moon if I EVER researched it again...after I...kinda...sorta...accidentally...infected half of Equestria...and half the dragon kingdom...which used their new talents to invade...
Sunset gaped at him...
...later...
"With all due respect your highness and I mean this in the nicest way possible...WHY HAVE YOU NOT EXILED AND DISOWNED HIM YET!?" Exclaimed the baffled Filly.
Celestia sighed, "Don't tempt me..." She groaned...
...
In any case...that's how she found herself here in the garage...with a giant go cart.
"what do you think?" Asked Dipper.
"...Compensating much?" Teased Sunset.
Dipper blushed and covered his loincloth area, "What- NO! I'm going to uses this to win the Canterlot Derby! And maybe a racing cutie mark!"
Sunset rolled her eye's, "Right, like you earned your Garbology cutie mark?"
Dipper blushed...
...flashback...
Dipper grunted with effort as he and Sunset hauled in a large garbage bag through a doggie door and into the castle...
Celestia groaned, "No, Dipper, no!" She shouted exasperated right before the bag broke and she was up to her neck in refuse...
...
"Hey come on you helped too!" retorted Dipper
"I- I only helped to get a better view of you failing!" Snapped a flustered Sunset. Dipper gives her a weird look, "why do you keep saying things like that? It's obvious we have fun together...why do you have to be so mean about it? Now do you want to help me with this or not? I'm adding flame throwers and I could use your help!"
He turns his back to her and gets back to work. Angrily Sunset huffs and tries to appear aloof...but the concept of a 'flame thrower' intrigued her...and she relented and came to help him...AFTER she cast another curse on his 'area' -just to teach him a lesson- she smirked as her 'jinx' caused his loincloth to snag on the gears and rip off...as would ANYTHING else that he tried to use to cover his shame from now on.
"Aw! It's like a tiny, baby, hairless caterpillar." She teased with a snicker.
Sunset teasing, while embarrassing only further motivated Dipper to do better to FINALLY impress her. He continues to finish the siphon-hose and piston that would ignite the flames...
...
Celestia smiled over the gathered derby carts filled with bright, smiling children faces...it reminded her of her Dipper...right before he caused another calamity.
She shook her head of this thought, Dipper may have been a handful but he was a good kid! That choreographed firework display he did on mothers day took her breath away...True it also burned down the east wing of the castle...but she tried not to think of that part.
And he and sunset were so cute together! ...True, this caused them to get in TWICE the mischief...but hey, the important thing was that Dipper and Sunset had made friends, right?...right?
She again rid her head of such thoughts, it was time for the event to begin! She preps her royal Canterlot voice to max Volume.
RACERS! ON YOUR MARK!
The carts began to hum in anticipation
GET SET!
The various foals and fillies tightened their grips on their steering wheels
G-
BOOM!
And thus Celestia was treated to the sight of her son and apprentice jumping down from a nearby highway..in a cart three times bigger then the others...covered with spewing flame-throwers and rotating spikes...land on the starting line and utterly crush and annihilate all the other competitors within seconds...they then rolled down the speedway unopposed yelling like loons...
The cries of fear, agony, and despair echoed throughout the streets...Celestia face-hoofed, "Y'know...Maybe my sister deposing me wouldn't be the WORST thing to happen...I'd get a vacation for one thing..."
