Even the Littlest Apple Makes a Differenceby Night--MistChaptersThe Apple Parents Are BackTime For The Surprise.Two Apple Foals are Better Then OneThe Apple Parents Are BackAfter Applejack had a conversation with Twilight on the train and had a quick chit chat with her and Cadence, Applejack was led by Luna to a room she had never seen. "So what's this thing ya needed me for yer highness?" Applejack asked. "Well it's better we show thou, ahem, pardon me, still getting used to this modern talk," Luna apologized. "No biggie yer majesty. It seems to be an old habit. I don't mind," Applejack forgave. "Well, as I was saying, I feel it's better to tell you once I show you," Luna said. "Fine by me yer highness," Applejack said. They soon came upon a room Applejack had not seen before. Upon opening the doors, Applejack was taken back by what she saw. The walls seemed to reflect the night sky, but more complex such as groups of stars spinning in a disk like form and other such things. "Many ponies in the past have come through this door who knew of the Crystal empire and it's secrets. I for one had only heard recently for my knowledge as well as my sisters were limited of the Empire's history. The crystal ponies came here often to seek guidance from their ancestors, and every once in a while the great ancestors of all ponies would grant a gift to those they deemed worthy," Luna said. "Wow, that's pretty neat yer highness," Applejack. "Indeed, and please just call me Luna. Now, When I found this room, I was visited by them and they had even allowed me a gift I had lost after my dark transformation. That gift was to watch over all ponies dreams and sometimes help them with their troubled thoughts. I recently helped young Scootaloo with a trouble she faced, but I can only help when the dreams surface, and I can't be in all dreams at once. This is what brings me to you Applejack," Luna said. "Wait, what is it about me?" Applejack asked. "Now, hear me out Applejack. I know your thoughts are your own, but I couldn't block out the fact that something deeply troubles you and your older brother," Luna said. "My older brother too?" Applejack became curious. "Indeed. Now he was able to deal with it in his own way, which I'll keep private, but I know that the two of you have troubled dreams of what happened to your parents," Luna said. Applejack was in shock. The ordeal of what happened to her folks was a very touchy subject, but she couldn't blame Luna from seeing it since the dreams were so strong. But she wondered why Luna would even mention this to her. "So, what does this have to do with the room we're in Luna?" Applejack inquired with curiosity. "I was able to talk to my sister and the ancestors, and they were able to dive in and see what you have done in the past and they feel you are worthy of one gift they can grant," Luna said. "I'm worthy of a gift?" Applejack asked in bewilderment. "Yes, the gift they are able to grant is to bring your parents back, alive and healthy in their prime," Luna said. "They can do that. Then I'll accept it," Applejack said, wanting to see them after so long. "Hold on, before they grant it, there is one more thing you need to know," Luna said. "What is it Pri, er Luna? I want to see my folks again," Applejack said with anticipation. "Well, oh horsefeathers how do I say this? In order for them to bring your parents back, you, or possibly your brother, need to..." Luna stalled for she couldn't find her voice at this point. "Well what is it Luna? I don't mean to be rude, but I would say I've waited long enough to see them again," Applejack snapped at her impatiently. Luna sighed, "In order for them to return to the living world, you or Big Macintosh need to be brought back to foalhood." Applejack's jaw dropped to the floor. "Say what now?" Applejack asked in disbelief. "You or Big Mac will become a foal again," Luna said "Bu- bu- wi all de apple uh, ginging in da bony, ninga ba, wha, huuuuu," Applejack said before she fainted. After a while of trying to bring Applejack back to her senses, Applejack, finally got to her feet. "Are you all right Applejack?" Luna asked in a worried tone. "I'm fine, sorry about that lil episode," Applejack said. "It's alright. I was sort of expecting that reaction," Luna said. "Now, let me make sure I hear this correctly. If I want my parents back, Big Macintosh or myself will have to become a foal again?" Applejack asked. "Yes," Luna answered. "Is... is there a way to make me my current age after they come back," Applejack asked. "I'm sorry, but the effects remain permanent after this process is done. The only cure will be time Applejack," Luna said. Applejack was now deep in thought. If she did this, she would get her parents back, but she would be a foal. She would risk not being able to be the same age as her friends. On the other hoof if she didn't do, she might not get this opportunity again and lose the chance of ever seeing her parents alive and in their prime. It also mean the nightmares would continue unless she agreed to do this, and she wanted to lift that weight off the shoulders of her and her brother, and even her Granny. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to Applejack, the great ancestors of our past will understand," Luna said. "I'll do it," Applejack said bluntly. "Wha- are you sure?" Luna asked. "Yes. As odd as it may seem to me to be a foal again, no emotion of mine can beat seein my parents again. I'll be foalified if that's what it takes to bring them back Luna," Applejack answered with determination. "As long as you are sure, young Applejack," Luna said. "I'm sure," Applejack. "Very well. Great ancestors, young Applejack has made her decision and has chosen to see her parents once more and in addition, agrees to become a foal," Luna said to the great ancestors as she looked up. "Have her step forth onto the pedestal in order to begin the process," Said a distant echoing voice. Applejack obeyed and was soon on the pedestal. As she stood there, a light beemed down from above into a heart shaped crystal that looked ironically enough like the Crystal Heat, but smaller and with a navy blue glow. Soon another beem erupted and shot directly at Applejack. She didn't feel pain, but she did feel the sense of her foalhood returning to her, locking away her memories and erasing others as her age reversed. As she was nearing infant stage, a bright light engulfed the room. Luna and Applejack shut their eyes, and soon heard hoofsteps. As the light's dimmed down, they opened them. When they did, two ponies Applejack knew all too well were standing before them, but Applejack couldn't see them, for her whole body was covered by her hat that once fit. "Apple Cobbler, Apple Turnover, welcome back," Luna said. "Good to be back Princess Luna," Apple Cobbler, Father of the Apple siblings and son of Granny Smith said before he bowed. Apple Turnover, mother of the Apple siblings and daughter of Apple Core did the same before she said, "Now where's my littlest of our three kiddys, Applejack?" She looked around and then saw her old hat she had given to Applejack and she saw it moving. She snuck up on it and slowly lifted it to reveal her daughter. "Pickaboo, I found ya lil sugar," Apple Turnover said. Apple Tunrover nuzzled her daughter, who cutely giggled and had somehow been diapered by the transformation. "I don't know if we can ever thank ya fer bringing us back lil one," Apple Cobbler said as he joined in a family hug. All Applejack did was make baby gibberish at them. Luna only smiled to see the heartwarming scene before her. Now, Apple Cobbler had a build much like his son Big Macintosh, so you can see where Big Mac got his strength. However Apple Cobbler's fur was orange like Applejacks, but a bit darker and his mane was reddish-brown, like a combo of Big Mac's and Apple Bloom's mane. As for Apple Turnover, she had the same fur as her son, but her mane was the color of a light blond, which gave Applejack her blond mane. "I'll bet you're head over hooves to see us again aren't ya Applejack?" Apple Cobbler asked rhetorically. "*Achoo*" baby Applejack sneezed right into her father's face. "Hmhm, maybe too excited," Apple Turnover said before all three adults in the room shared a chuckle. Apple Turnover soon put her old hat on her head and Applejack began to whine. Turnover picked her up and said, "Sorry lil sugar, but you got a ways ta go before ya will fit in this hat again." Applejack hid her face realizing her mom was right. Apple Turnover placed her on her back and began to carry her off towards the door where Luna was waiting. "I hope your other two children will be just as pleased to see you. And I hope Granny takes it well," Luna said. "I think the only one we need ta think about is Granny Smith. Now, I know we just came back to the land of the livin, but we are a might anxious to get back home your highness," Apple Cobbler said. "I understand. I can have a train leave for you tonight, but be aware, this train will take the long route and is the slower of the Friendship Express. You won't get back til Tuesday morning. The other option would be to wait for three days and take the New high speed Friendship Express that morning and get there by noon," Luna said. "Why can't the high speed one take off for there tomorrow yer highness?" Apple Cobbler asked. "A terrible storm is blowing through Ponyville as we speak, and it is a three day storm," Luna warned. "Well, I don't want to risk AJ's fragile lil body on a high speed train, she's far too young. We'll take the slower one tonight. I can sleep on any train like that as can lil AJ," Apple Turnover said. "Alright, I'll have one of the castle staff escort you to Applejack's resting quarters and have tickets ready for your departure. I will leave with you as well so I can at least prepare Granny for the sudden shock. But first I have to make a stop at my sister's resting chambers," Luna said. "Alright we'll see ya at the castle doors yer highness," Apple Turnover said as she carried sleepy little Applejack on her back. "Oh, hold on sweetie," Apple Cobbler said. He took her neckerchief and adjusted it to where Applejack could be carried inside it, and Apple Turnover thanked him. Soon the Apple Family and Luna walked out of the room to take care of what they needed, unaware two other ponies had just been permanently foalified. Author's Note End of Chapter one for Applejack's age regression. Hope ya'll liked it. So AJ has her parents back and has been turned into a foal. How will the Apple family, and possibly all of Ponyville react? What in Equestria could this mean? Now Apple Bloom can really say she's the big sister now. Find out what happens to Applejack and her family in the next chapter. Time For The Surprise.Three days had passed after Luna had let Cadence know of what had happened to Applejack and got a shock of her own from Cadence to find out Twilight was know resting in her tummy instead of being turned into a foal for a few days like planned so Celestia could also get time to baby Twilight with Cadence. Luna knew that would be a bit of a shocker for her sister. In that time Apple Turnover and Apple Cobbler got back into being parents again as they spent time with their now youngest daughter. Luckily the ancestors had provided Apple Turnover with milk for Applejack so she didn't have to have formula. Luna had also talked to them about Rainbow Dash, Lightning Dust and Fluttershy regressing. The Apple Parents seemed like they had something to hide but Luna didn't pry into asking them. The train had provided them the luxury coach of the train to help make the journey more comfortable for little Applejack. Applejack, instead of being weirded out by her decision was actually enjoying being a foal again. She hadn't realize many of the memories she had before were slowly being replaced with new ones. For example, in her mind, her parents had always been around. She and her mother had started to get closer and Apple Turnover's maternal instincts had soon kicked in after they had boarded the train, especially when a teenage colt from Manehatten made fun of AJ's hairstyle. This had made AJ's foal mind take over and caused her to cry, and the colt soon learned that you don't get on a small town mother's bad side nor do you tease her children. Once the train pulled into the station, the Apple family soon got off. Much of Ponyville was still asleep at this time, so it was going to be easy for them to get home with Baby Applejack and not raise suspicion. Once they got to the farm they saw that it was quiet outside, but they could smell Granny Smith's Apple Fritters cooking. "Well, we better get there quick before my ma burns the fritters again," Apple Cobbler said. They soon galloped over to the door and could hear young Apple Bloom trying to offer her help, but Granny and Big Mac kept telling her to wait. They then knocked on the door. "I'll get it," Apple Bloom said. She opened the door to see her parents standing there. "Uh, hello can we help you?" Apple Bloom asked. "Yes, would you be kind enough to fetch your brother and Granny my little one," Apple Cobbler said. "Um okay," Apple Bloom said, raising an eyebrow. Apple Bloom soon grabbed her brother and Grandma and brought them to the door. "Now who'd show up so early ta see...." Granny Smith stopped in mid-sentence and froze on the spot. Big Mac reacted in a similar manner. "Looks like they all just saw a ghost honey," Apple Turnover said. Granny then walked slowly toward Apple Cobbler and touched his face. "It ain't no dream, yer alive," Granny said as she hugged her son. "Yes, it's great to see ya too," Apple Cobbler grunted as his mother hugged him tight, then continued, "Gotta admit, you seem ta have shed some good years off ya since we last saw ya from up there," he finished as pointed to the sky. "Oh, and Turnover, you're just as pretty as the last time I saw ya," Granny said. "What are ya'll talkin about," Apple Bloom asked, confused on how Granny knew them and they managed to make Big Mac as still as a statue. "Ma? Pa? Is it really ya'll," Big Mac asked. "Wha?!" Apple Bloom said as her jaw dropped. "Yes Big Mac it's us, we're here to stay, thanks to a certain Apple member," Apple Cobbler said. Apple Turnover walked over to her daughter and said, "Sweetie, I know ya don't remember us, but we are your Ma and Pa." "But AJ said.... and the accident.... I don't understand," Apple Bloom said. "You will, once we get inside and explain," Apple Cobbler said as she turned to the rest of the family. "Wait Ma, what's in your neckerchief?" Apple Bloom asked. Apple Turnover then reveal her sleeping baby daughter to the whole family. Apple Bloom was about to squeal in joy when her mother stopped her and said, "Shh, we need to let her sleep, we'll tell you what happened once we're inside." Everyone nodded and invited the Princess to follow them inside. Soon they all sat in the family room after Granny took the fritters out of the oven and Apple Turnover let Apple Bloom hold her older, well, younger sister now and they started to explain how everything went, and even stated the fact that Twilight had been regressed as well and was resting in her new mother Cadence's tummy. Granny, Big Mac and Apple Bloom, who did know where foals came from, were surprised by this news. Granny also revealed that Rarity had been regressed herself by an age regression lotion, not too long after Twilight and AJ took off and before Sweetie Belle arrived in town. This didn't seem to surprise the parents as much, but they still had a look of shock. "So Ma, you mind telling us how you came to look like your in your late 40s, maybe early 50s?" Apple Cobbler asked. "So ya did notice. Weeell, I heard that little Flutters found the tree a youth and thought I might make myself a bit younger so I could help round the farm. Course I'll still have my limits, but not as many as when I was in my 80s. I ain't about ready to pay old pony death a visit yet," Granny said "I have to say, you are a mystery among ponies Granny Smith, we learn so much about you and yet you still tend to surprise us," Luna said. "I do what I can. Can't blame an old mare for trying to keep good stories of the past goin," Granny said. "Indeed," Luna agreed. "And I see yer pullin yer wieght round here son. Farm looks far better then all those years ago," Apple Turnover said. "Eeyup," Big Macintosh said. "Same old Big Mac, a stallion of a lot a strength, but few words," Apple Cobbler said. "Eeyup," Big Mac joked. "So we better get this place in top order if we're gonna get it ready for the whole Apple Family to show up. Well, it'll be a few weeks, but luck favors the prepared," Apple Cobbler explained. "Yay! I get to see Babs again!" Apple Bloom cheered. This was enough to cause Applejack to jolt awake and she started crying from being surprised. "Oh, A.J. I'm sorry baby sis," Apple Bloom apologized as she nuzzled her sister. Applejack calmed down a bit, but reached for her mother for she was hungry. Apple Turnover then herd her little Daughters tummy rumble. "Oh, looks like lil baby Applejack hasn't lost her appitite," Apple Turnover said as she took her daughter into her arms and nuzzled her nose, making Applejack giggle. Applejack was soon set near her mom's teats and Appleturnover looked at everyone signaling them to leave the room. Granny was the first to get the message as she scooted everyone into the kitchen, including Princess Luna. Soon Applejack started to get her fill as Apple Trunover nuzzled her and pulled a blanket over her to keep her warm give her privacy, in case some pony walked back in. She knew there was going to be a lot of explaining to do, and luckily Princess Luna was going to help. Just hopefully Princess Celestia was willing too. Author's Note Okay, end of chapter two. Man I gotta wrap these stories up if I am to make my latest creation for this series. I think one more chapter for each should do it, well, two for Rainbow and Lightnings stroy, and maybe Twilight's, but trust me, it will be worth it. So now the Apple Family knows about A.J. and most of her friends' being foalified, now it's all a matter of getting everypony to see what has happened to each other. I will update when I can. I have tried to rest my brain, but so many ideas are popping in I am on a roll with this and must continue. So I have to choose what I can and make it so it all makes sense. Hope you all enjoy. Please leave a positive comment and constructive criticism. I must rest for now. Hope to hear from you all soon. Sorry if this chapter feels a bit rushed. Two Apple Foals are Better Then OneAs the days went by, everypony at the farm was getting used to Applejack's new role as the youngest of the family. Luna, after a day or two, made her way back to Canterlot, but not before helping Apple Bloom with her dreams like she had with her friends. Apple Bloom had a hard time adjusting on the first day as the big sister to her little sister, but, wanting to show that she was not a baby and could do her part and not go through another fiasco like had happened with Applejack. Everypony was up to speed with what had happened among Applejack and her friends, and Apple Bloom thought it was a bit of a bummer that her two friends were now foals themselves. She knew more than likely this would add fuel to the non-stop teasing they were getting from Diamond Tiara. Silver Spoon seemed to have backed off and it looked like she tried a few times to apologize and make up, but it seemed something was stopping her, which Apple Bloom guessed was Diamond Tiara. Now that she thought about it, every time Silver Spoon approached them, they caught a glimpse of Diamond Tiara as well, and it seemed that Diamond Tiara knew something that kept Silver Spoon from talking to the CMC. What it was, Apple Bloom didn't know. Today, her dad Apple Cobler asked for help in the orchard since there were a lot of apples that had fallen from their branches during the storm and some were still in good condition, so he wanted them gathered before their pigs had their way with them. Apple Bloom didn't mind, since it took apple bucking out of the equation. She agreed to take the north part of the orchard while her brother took the south and east areas and her dad took the west side. Soon all the Apple family was hard at work. Well, all but Applejack, and even though Apple Turnover insisted on helping out, Granny Smith wouldn't have it. She made it clear that Applejack was her top focus for the day, and knowing she couldn't change Granny's mind because of her stubborn nature, she agreed to keep herself focused on Applejack. She would have to sit down with Granny and talk when she had the chance, for she did not want make her other children feel like they meant nothing to her. True she had only been back for a week at most, but that didn't change the fact that all her children required her attention. Big Mac, she knew was old enough to understand that his younger siblings were in need of more attention and he didn't mind. It was Apple Bloom that worried her. No longer the youngest in the family, she might start to feel that she isn't of much importance if she sees most of her mother's time spent with her now younger sister. Apple Turnover would make it her mission to give all her children the same amount of attention as much as she could. Soon it was lunch time, and Applejack was place by her mother's belly to get to her meal. Apple Cobbler walked in and sighed a bit of relief, "Phew, tougher than Ah remember, all that gatherin up apples has worked up my appetite." "Eeyup," Big Mac exclaimed as he walked in behind his dad. "Ah see you two have been workin hard. Lunch is almost ready. Granny made some apple dumplins along with some tomato soup and sweet potater pie," Apple Turnover said. "Mmm, sounds good. Has Apple Bloom trotted in yet?" Apple Cobbler asked. "No, Ah know fillies her age have a lot of energy, but remember, she's far younger than Big Mac and smaller, so for her it's a lot more ground to cover. I'm sure she'll be along soon, just give her a bit of time," Apple Turnover said. "Good point, I know she'd be too stubborn ta ask for help anyhow. She gets that from you," Apple Cobbler said. "Me? Cobbler dear, she gets that from yer side of the family, right Big Mac?" Apple Turnover asked. "Eenope," he replied. "See, even our son says it comes from you," Apple Cobbler said. "Eenope," Big Mac stated. "Huh?" Apple Turnover and Apple Cobbler ask in response. "Oh, for Lan sake, she gets it from both of ya'll," Granny said as she came in to let them know dinner was ready. "Eeyup," Big Mac agreed. The Apple parents look at each other and gave each other a goofy smile before laughing. "Now, let's all get some food in our bellies," Granny Smith said. "I'll go call for Apple Bloom," Apple Turnover said as she finished burping Applejack and setting her in her play pen. "Alright honey," Apple Cobbler said. Apple Turnover headed outside and and called, "Apple Bloom! Soups on!" ....there was no response. "Apple Bloom!" She called again. ....again no response. "Granny, Big Mac, does Apple Bloom usually not reply back when she's coming in for food?" Apple Turnover asked. "No, she usually is very on point about callin back when she's called in fer meals. This ain't like her, and the north side a the orchard isn't that far that it'd be out of range," Granny said. "Well, maybe she went to see her friends in town," Apple Cobbler said. "Not likely son, her friends were foalified, remember?" Granny explained. "Oh, right, that slipped my mind for a moment," Apple Cobbler said. "Well, I'm not waitin around to see if she comes back without sayin she's a comin. I'm headin ta the north side to see what's keepin her. If she comes back, tell her I went to find her if she asks where I am," Apple Turnover said. "Hold up Ma, I'm comin with ya," Big Mac said. "Big Mac I... oh, alright. Guess I can't stop a big brother worryin bout his lil sister," Turnover said. "Eenope," Big Mac said. Soon the two made it out the door and headed for the north side of the farm. They called out for Apple Bloom but heard no response as they made their way through the orchard. "Where could she be? I know she's been the adventurous type, but I know she's also one to finish her chores before she gallops off for fun, from what of seen while watching you four from above," Trunover exclaimed. "Not sure Ma, maybe she ran outta energy and decided to take a nap for a bit, though, it's not usually like her to do that," Big Mac said. "Well we'll just have to..." Suddenly their conversation was broken, by the sounds of a foal crying for their mother. Apple Turnover bolts off in the direction of the cries and Big Mac is not too far behind. What they see next surprises both of them. Meanwhile, back at the house, Granny and Cobbler were keeping Applejack entertained as Cobbler made her feel like she was flying up in the air like a pegasus, and then bringing her down making raspberries on her cheek. Granny just couldn't help but smile as she watched them. It was almost as if the accident that had claimed her son and her daughter's life had never happened, and she hoped would never happen again. After a while, the doors opened to reveal Apple Turnover and Big Mac with some goofy looks on their face. "Honey, did you find her, is she okay?" Apple Cobbler said as she sat applejack down in front of him. "Yes, she's fine, however, she had a cute little mishap," Apple Turnover said. She turned to show a much smaller, much younger Apple Bloom, around Applejack's age, possibly a tad younger. Granny slapped her forhead. "Oh, dear, we got another case off regression," Granny said. "How did it happen?" Cobbler asked. "Well, she seemed to be working hard and then, I guess she got hungry while working, and decided to take a bite of an apple to hold her over till lunch time," Turnover said. "Eeyup. Unfortunately, she more then likely thought that the apples from the Apple Tree of Youth looked delicious and decided to take a bite. I told ya we shoulda warned her but them before she took off Pa. She didn't know what the youth apples looked like," Big Mac said. "Well, I didn't think she needed to be warned. I expected she would bring some of them back in her bucket loads and we could sort them out afterwards. I didn't think she'd take a bite outta one while workin," Cobbler admitted. "Well, what's done is done, I'm just surprised that the apple didn't have the same effect on her as it did little Flutters. Fluttershy can still talk, but Apple Bloom can't do anything but babble right now," Turnover said. "Well, maybe eating it rather then drinking the juice has different effects," Granny reckoned. "Maybe," Turnover agreed. Their thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a rumbling tummy. Turnover looked back to see her little Apple Bloom covering her eyes and her cheeks going redder then her brother's coat of fur. "Looks like somepony's worked up an apatite. Come here you little rascal," Apple Turnover said as she grabbed her youngest daughter by the scruff of her neck and carried her to the couch-bed. After securing a diaper on her littlest one, she layed Apple Bloom close to her belly, and after a bit of hesitating and seeing a blanket over to give her privacy, she latched on to gain her meal that she needed. Applejack joined her, since she had the apatite of a full grown stallion, while Granny scooted the boys out of the room so Turnover could have a special moment with her "tiny" Apples. She put her head under the blanket nuzzled her daughters, now happy to have both of them as close to her as possible. "My cute little Apples," she sighed. She soon laid her head down and took a light nap as her daughter's fed, still aware they were feeding. Meanwhile, back at Canterlot Castle. Luna had just finished signing most of the papers for rights to take her son Night Mist home. When she got back to the throne room, she noticed Discord was waiting there. "Discord, what have I said about siting in our seats?" Luna warned. "Oh, Princess Luna, it's not like I'm dreaming about taking over Equestria again. After bumping into Kind Heart on our first meeting that's the last thing on my mind, if it were on my mind at all. I was merely keeping them warm for you and Celestia. I know how cold it can get in the throne room sometimes. Have you ever thought of installing a fireplace or maybe using a spell to keep the temperature constant?" Discord asked. "I'll think about having a fire place installed, but don't think I don't know that you're up to something," Luna said. "Me? I am not doing anything your highness. Well, aside from a few pranks on some snotty nobles, but other than that I'm keeping my nose clean," Discord said before pulling out a handkerchief and blowing into it, causing many prank items and a big liquid vile of some sort fall onto the ground. "Ah, I was wondering where that vile had gone to. I've been saving it for.... something. Now what was it? Oh well, I'll probably remember later," Discord says before snapping his claw and making all the prank gizmos disappear. Night Mist clapped and giggled as he watched all of this. "I see your son, the little prince is enjoying his time here in the castle. Congrats on the adoption by the way," Discord said. "Well, thank you. All though I wish I could give him a brother or sister to have fun with so he doesn't get lonely," Luna said. "And why haven't you?" Discord pondered. "All the orphanages in the area are ironically empty of fillies and colts. They said that some of the fillies and colts from the other towns like Baltimare and Fillydelphia are being transferred to the ones here, but it will be a while," Luna said. "Well, I'm sure something will turn up soon. You might get like a half dozen foals to take care of. And don't try and deny you wouldn't want that to happen," Discord said. "I guess I'm guilty there, but Night Mist happened by chance. I'm not sure I'll get that kind of luck again. He's the only alicorn here I've seen so far that did not spawn from my sister or myself, and Cadence said she hasn't spawned any of her own, granted Twilight is now a, what you call, surprise in the making," Luna said. "Well, you never know what may happen. Have you told any of your other family members about this adoption of yours. Blueblood in particular?" Discord asked. "No, I haven't. First I want to get my little Prince Night Mist settled in. Besides, you know how Blueblood is. And before I even consult with him, I must speak first with my mother, and I'll be letting Cadence know before Blueblood has chance to have his way," Luna said. "I see. Oh, Celestia wanted me to tell you that she had the letter sent to Twilight's friends in Ponyville about the meeting she wants to have with all of them. Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor will be informed by tomorrow morning," Discord said. "Oh, alright, and where is my sister now?" Luna asked inquisitively. "Oh, she said she had some errands she had to run and would be home by dinner time," Discord said. "Alright, thank you," Luna said. Night Mist went wide eyed. He knew what was happening and only hoped that Celestia wasn't too hard with her frying pan. In his moment of panic, he realized he now needed a diaper change and Luna could smell it. "Phew, come along Night Mist, we best get you changed before you get a rash," Luna said as she carried him back to his nursery. Night Mist looked back at Discord and saw him wink and soon narrowed his eyes thinking of only one thing in his head, 'I knew he was evil. Eviiil! Sky Hooves, Death2205, Shadowmane, TornadoBlitz Autum Breeze, and Super Stallion, you better watch out.' Over in the human world *Meanwhile at Death2205's place.* Death2205 sighs," "What's so important Celestia has to t-" *booonng* He passes out from a frying pan to the head. Celestia smiles, "That's one." She grabs him and transports with him through the rift while turning him into a foal. *Meanwhile at Sky Hooves place.* Sky Hooves laughs, "Wow Discord, why do I have a feeling you had something to do wi-" Tia's horn touches the back of his neck, knocking him out. Tia caught him before saying, "There's two." She makes her escape through the rift and makes him a foal. *Meanwhile at Shadowmane PX-41's place.* Shadowmane PX-41 deduced everything and said, "Ha, Celestia's going on errands. I know what she's up to and she won't expect to not find me at my computer." He makes a bolt for the door to street out front only to see a magical ball of rainbow come flying at him as he's about to escape, sending him through the rift and changing him to foal status. "You think he would know by now I know every move he'll make," Celestia said as she finishes filling one of her hooves to pristine shine, then flies in after him with the foal basket. *Meanwhile at TornadoBlitz place.* TornadoBlitz had just finished with his latest chapter on his parody and said, "Well, looks like I've got some more to work with on my parody to Night Mist's story "My Life as a Prince". Just need to press publish aaaand..." *Star dust blown into his face* "*Cough* Sleepy time," he said as fell backwards unconscious into the big foal basket right after he was foalified. "Sorry dear, but you'll have to wait to publish that later," Celetia said as she flies through the rift. *Meanwhile at Autum Breeze's place.* Autum Breeze taunted, "Ooh. You really have me scared Celestia. I know how to defend myself, even against an alic- " Tia uses flash magic for temporary blindness, and then uses star dust on Autum. Tia shook her head, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk. I came prepared. You must have been hitting the punch, cause I know your not normally this cocky. But since you feel so bold, I got something special planned for you." She casted her foalification spell, and placed her new niece in the foal basket. *Meanwhile at Super-Stallion's place.* Super-Stallion sighed, "Not again".*pinch* "Owy!" He dropped to floor after he was given a sedative used with a kryponian needle that acted fast. "Yes, again little one. You'll have so much fun," Celestia said as she foalified Super-Stallion and carried his unconscious body in the basket through the rift. Author's Note Hey guess what everypony? So, this is the final chapter in my Applejack arc of this foalification series and Now I can keep my focus on only three stories involving foals. I know I kept you all waiting for this and I am sorry. Trust me Mama Luna, Auntie Tia, Auntie Cadence and Grandma Lauren Faust gave me plenty of spankings, I won't be able to sit for a week. I don't know how Uncle Shiny found out, but he knew I was a military Brony and made me do foal push ups and sit ups. I'm gonna wish that I had never gotten on grandma's bad side more than anypony else for weeks. Queen Lauren Faust: Get on with it! NM: Eep! Sorry Grandma. anyways. Now I know many of you saw this coming with Apple Bloom and some are probably wondering if Big Mac will suffer the same fate. Well I'm here to tell you I don't plan on having Big Macintosh foalified.....yet. Also for Death2205, Sky Hooves, Shadowmane PX-41, TornadoBlitz, Autum Breeze, and Super Stallion, this is not my fault. Discord has been in cahoots with Celestia and their out of control. I'm only a foal. I couldn't stop them, they've taken over. I'm sorry. (P.S. I felt it was only right to have Super-Stallion join my group of foalified bronies since he was the one who started it all. To all my fellow Authors, keep up the great work on your stories, and to my readers, hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing it.)
The Apple Parents Are BackAfter Applejack had a conversation with Twilight on the train and had a quick chit chat with her and Cadence, Applejack was led by Luna to a room she had never seen. "So what's this thing ya needed me for yer highness?" Applejack asked. "Well it's better we show thou, ahem, pardon me, still getting used to this modern talk," Luna apologized. "No biggie yer majesty. It seems to be an old habit. I don't mind," Applejack forgave. "Well, as I was saying, I feel it's better to tell you once I show you," Luna said. "Fine by me yer highness," Applejack said. They soon came upon a room Applejack had not seen before. Upon opening the doors, Applejack was taken back by what she saw. The walls seemed to reflect the night sky, but more complex such as groups of stars spinning in a disk like form and other such things. "Many ponies in the past have come through this door who knew of the Crystal empire and it's secrets. I for one had only heard recently for my knowledge as well as my sisters were limited of the Empire's history. The crystal ponies came here often to seek guidance from their ancestors, and every once in a while the great ancestors of all ponies would grant a gift to those they deemed worthy," Luna said. "Wow, that's pretty neat yer highness," Applejack. "Indeed, and please just call me Luna. Now, When I found this room, I was visited by them and they had even allowed me a gift I had lost after my dark transformation. That gift was to watch over all ponies dreams and sometimes help them with their troubled thoughts. I recently helped young Scootaloo with a trouble she faced, but I can only help when the dreams surface, and I can't be in all dreams at once. This is what brings me to you Applejack," Luna said. "Wait, what is it about me?" Applejack asked. "Now, hear me out Applejack. I know your thoughts are your own, but I couldn't block out the fact that something deeply troubles you and your older brother," Luna said. "My older brother too?" Applejack became curious. "Indeed. Now he was able to deal with it in his own way, which I'll keep private, but I know that the two of you have troubled dreams of what happened to your parents," Luna said. Applejack was in shock. The ordeal of what happened to her folks was a very touchy subject, but she couldn't blame Luna from seeing it since the dreams were so strong. But she wondered why Luna would even mention this to her. "So, what does this have to do with the room we're in Luna?" Applejack inquired with curiosity. "I was able to talk to my sister and the ancestors, and they were able to dive in and see what you have done in the past and they feel you are worthy of one gift they can grant," Luna said. "I'm worthy of a gift?" Applejack asked in bewilderment. "Yes, the gift they are able to grant is to bring your parents back, alive and healthy in their prime," Luna said. "They can do that. Then I'll accept it," Applejack said, wanting to see them after so long. "Hold on, before they grant it, there is one more thing you need to know," Luna said. "What is it Pri, er Luna? I want to see my folks again," Applejack said with anticipation. "Well, oh horsefeathers how do I say this? In order for them to bring your parents back, you, or possibly your brother, need to..." Luna stalled for she couldn't find her voice at this point. "Well what is it Luna? I don't mean to be rude, but I would say I've waited long enough to see them again," Applejack snapped at her impatiently. Luna sighed, "In order for them to return to the living world, you or Big Macintosh need to be brought back to foalhood." Applejack's jaw dropped to the floor. "Say what now?" Applejack asked in disbelief. "You or Big Mac will become a foal again," Luna said "Bu- bu- wi all de apple uh, ginging in da bony, ninga ba, wha, huuuuu," Applejack said before she fainted. After a while of trying to bring Applejack back to her senses, Applejack, finally got to her feet. "Are you all right Applejack?" Luna asked in a worried tone. "I'm fine, sorry about that lil episode," Applejack said. "It's alright. I was sort of expecting that reaction," Luna said. "Now, let me make sure I hear this correctly. If I want my parents back, Big Macintosh or myself will have to become a foal again?" Applejack asked. "Yes," Luna answered. "Is... is there a way to make me my current age after they come back," Applejack asked. "I'm sorry, but the effects remain permanent after this process is done. The only cure will be time Applejack," Luna said. Applejack was now deep in thought. If she did this, she would get her parents back, but she would be a foal. She would risk not being able to be the same age as her friends. On the other hoof if she didn't do, she might not get this opportunity again and lose the chance of ever seeing her parents alive and in their prime. It also mean the nightmares would continue unless she agreed to do this, and she wanted to lift that weight off the shoulders of her and her brother, and even her Granny. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to Applejack, the great ancestors of our past will understand," Luna said. "I'll do it," Applejack said bluntly. "Wha- are you sure?" Luna asked. "Yes. As odd as it may seem to me to be a foal again, no emotion of mine can beat seein my parents again. I'll be foalified if that's what it takes to bring them back Luna," Applejack answered with determination. "As long as you are sure, young Applejack," Luna said. "I'm sure," Applejack. "Very well. Great ancestors, young Applejack has made her decision and has chosen to see her parents once more and in addition, agrees to become a foal," Luna said to the great ancestors as she looked up. "Have her step forth onto the pedestal in order to begin the process," Said a distant echoing voice. Applejack obeyed and was soon on the pedestal. As she stood there, a light beemed down from above into a heart shaped crystal that looked ironically enough like the Crystal Heat, but smaller and with a navy blue glow. Soon another beem erupted and shot directly at Applejack. She didn't feel pain, but she did feel the sense of her foalhood returning to her, locking away her memories and erasing others as her age reversed. As she was nearing infant stage, a bright light engulfed the room. Luna and Applejack shut their eyes, and soon heard hoofsteps. As the light's dimmed down, they opened them. When they did, two ponies Applejack knew all too well were standing before them, but Applejack couldn't see them, for her whole body was covered by her hat that once fit. "Apple Cobbler, Apple Turnover, welcome back," Luna said. "Good to be back Princess Luna," Apple Cobbler, Father of the Apple siblings and son of Granny Smith said before he bowed. Apple Turnover, mother of the Apple siblings and daughter of Apple Core did the same before she said, "Now where's my littlest of our three kiddys, Applejack?" She looked around and then saw her old hat she had given to Applejack and she saw it moving. She snuck up on it and slowly lifted it to reveal her daughter. "Pickaboo, I found ya lil sugar," Apple Turnover said. Apple Tunrover nuzzled her daughter, who cutely giggled and had somehow been diapered by the transformation. "I don't know if we can ever thank ya fer bringing us back lil one," Apple Cobbler said as he joined in a family hug. All Applejack did was make baby gibberish at them. Luna only smiled to see the heartwarming scene before her. Now, Apple Cobbler had a build much like his son Big Macintosh, so you can see where Big Mac got his strength. However Apple Cobbler's fur was orange like Applejacks, but a bit darker and his mane was reddish-brown, like a combo of Big Mac's and Apple Bloom's mane. As for Apple Turnover, she had the same fur as her son, but her mane was the color of a light blond, which gave Applejack her blond mane. "I'll bet you're head over hooves to see us again aren't ya Applejack?" Apple Cobbler asked rhetorically. "*Achoo*" baby Applejack sneezed right into her father's face. "Hmhm, maybe too excited," Apple Turnover said before all three adults in the room shared a chuckle. Apple Turnover soon put her old hat on her head and Applejack began to whine. Turnover picked her up and said, "Sorry lil sugar, but you got a ways ta go before ya will fit in this hat again." Applejack hid her face realizing her mom was right. Apple Turnover placed her on her back and began to carry her off towards the door where Luna was waiting. "I hope your other two children will be just as pleased to see you. And I hope Granny takes it well," Luna said. "I think the only one we need ta think about is Granny Smith. Now, I know we just came back to the land of the livin, but we are a might anxious to get back home your highness," Apple Cobbler said. "I understand. I can have a train leave for you tonight, but be aware, this train will take the long route and is the slower of the Friendship Express. You won't get back til Tuesday morning. The other option would be to wait for three days and take the New high speed Friendship Express that morning and get there by noon," Luna said. "Why can't the high speed one take off for there tomorrow yer highness?" Apple Cobbler asked. "A terrible storm is blowing through Ponyville as we speak, and it is a three day storm," Luna warned. "Well, I don't want to risk AJ's fragile lil body on a high speed train, she's far too young. We'll take the slower one tonight. I can sleep on any train like that as can lil AJ," Apple Turnover said. "Alright, I'll have one of the castle staff escort you to Applejack's resting quarters and have tickets ready for your departure. I will leave with you as well so I can at least prepare Granny for the sudden shock. But first I have to make a stop at my sister's resting chambers," Luna said. "Alright we'll see ya at the castle doors yer highness," Apple Turnover said as she carried sleepy little Applejack on her back. "Oh, hold on sweetie," Apple Cobbler said. He took her neckerchief and adjusted it to where Applejack could be carried inside it, and Apple Turnover thanked him. Soon the Apple Family and Luna walked out of the room to take care of what they needed, unaware two other ponies had just been permanently foalified. Author's Note End of Chapter one for Applejack's age regression. Hope ya'll liked it. So AJ has her parents back and has been turned into a foal. How will the Apple family, and possibly all of Ponyville react? What in Equestria could this mean? Now Apple Bloom can really say she's the big sister now. Find out what happens to Applejack and her family in the next chapter.
Time For The Surprise.Three days had passed after Luna had let Cadence know of what had happened to Applejack and got a shock of her own from Cadence to find out Twilight was know resting in her tummy instead of being turned into a foal for a few days like planned so Celestia could also get time to baby Twilight with Cadence. Luna knew that would be a bit of a shocker for her sister. In that time Apple Turnover and Apple Cobbler got back into being parents again as they spent time with their now youngest daughter. Luckily the ancestors had provided Apple Turnover with milk for Applejack so she didn't have to have formula. Luna had also talked to them about Rainbow Dash, Lightning Dust and Fluttershy regressing. The Apple Parents seemed like they had something to hide but Luna didn't pry into asking them. The train had provided them the luxury coach of the train to help make the journey more comfortable for little Applejack. Applejack, instead of being weirded out by her decision was actually enjoying being a foal again. She hadn't realize many of the memories she had before were slowly being replaced with new ones. For example, in her mind, her parents had always been around. She and her mother had started to get closer and Apple Turnover's maternal instincts had soon kicked in after they had boarded the train, especially when a teenage colt from Manehatten made fun of AJ's hairstyle. This had made AJ's foal mind take over and caused her to cry, and the colt soon learned that you don't get on a small town mother's bad side nor do you tease her children. Once the train pulled into the station, the Apple family soon got off. Much of Ponyville was still asleep at this time, so it was going to be easy for them to get home with Baby Applejack and not raise suspicion. Once they got to the farm they saw that it was quiet outside, but they could smell Granny Smith's Apple Fritters cooking. "Well, we better get there quick before my ma burns the fritters again," Apple Cobbler said. They soon galloped over to the door and could hear young Apple Bloom trying to offer her help, but Granny and Big Mac kept telling her to wait. They then knocked on the door. "I'll get it," Apple Bloom said. She opened the door to see her parents standing there. "Uh, hello can we help you?" Apple Bloom asked. "Yes, would you be kind enough to fetch your brother and Granny my little one," Apple Cobbler said. "Um okay," Apple Bloom said, raising an eyebrow. Apple Bloom soon grabbed her brother and Grandma and brought them to the door. "Now who'd show up so early ta see...." Granny Smith stopped in mid-sentence and froze on the spot. Big Mac reacted in a similar manner. "Looks like they all just saw a ghost honey," Apple Turnover said. Granny then walked slowly toward Apple Cobbler and touched his face. "It ain't no dream, yer alive," Granny said as she hugged her son. "Yes, it's great to see ya too," Apple Cobbler grunted as his mother hugged him tight, then continued, "Gotta admit, you seem ta have shed some good years off ya since we last saw ya from up there," he finished as pointed to the sky. "Oh, and Turnover, you're just as pretty as the last time I saw ya," Granny said. "What are ya'll talkin about," Apple Bloom asked, confused on how Granny knew them and they managed to make Big Mac as still as a statue. "Ma? Pa? Is it really ya'll," Big Mac asked. "Wha?!" Apple Bloom said as her jaw dropped. "Yes Big Mac it's us, we're here to stay, thanks to a certain Apple member," Apple Cobbler said. Apple Turnover walked over to her daughter and said, "Sweetie, I know ya don't remember us, but we are your Ma and Pa." "But AJ said.... and the accident.... I don't understand," Apple Bloom said. "You will, once we get inside and explain," Apple Cobbler said as she turned to the rest of the family. "Wait Ma, what's in your neckerchief?" Apple Bloom asked. Apple Turnover then reveal her sleeping baby daughter to the whole family. Apple Bloom was about to squeal in joy when her mother stopped her and said, "Shh, we need to let her sleep, we'll tell you what happened once we're inside." Everyone nodded and invited the Princess to follow them inside. Soon they all sat in the family room after Granny took the fritters out of the oven and Apple Turnover let Apple Bloom hold her older, well, younger sister now and they started to explain how everything went, and even stated the fact that Twilight had been regressed as well and was resting in her new mother Cadence's tummy. Granny, Big Mac and Apple Bloom, who did know where foals came from, were surprised by this news. Granny also revealed that Rarity had been regressed herself by an age regression lotion, not too long after Twilight and AJ took off and before Sweetie Belle arrived in town. This didn't seem to surprise the parents as much, but they still had a look of shock. "So Ma, you mind telling us how you came to look like your in your late 40s, maybe early 50s?" Apple Cobbler asked. "So ya did notice. Weeell, I heard that little Flutters found the tree a youth and thought I might make myself a bit younger so I could help round the farm. Course I'll still have my limits, but not as many as when I was in my 80s. I ain't about ready to pay old pony death a visit yet," Granny said "I have to say, you are a mystery among ponies Granny Smith, we learn so much about you and yet you still tend to surprise us," Luna said. "I do what I can. Can't blame an old mare for trying to keep good stories of the past goin," Granny said. "Indeed," Luna agreed. "And I see yer pullin yer wieght round here son. Farm looks far better then all those years ago," Apple Turnover said. "Eeyup," Big Macintosh said. "Same old Big Mac, a stallion of a lot a strength, but few words," Apple Cobbler said. "Eeyup," Big Mac joked. "So we better get this place in top order if we're gonna get it ready for the whole Apple Family to show up. Well, it'll be a few weeks, but luck favors the prepared," Apple Cobbler explained. "Yay! I get to see Babs again!" Apple Bloom cheered. This was enough to cause Applejack to jolt awake and she started crying from being surprised. "Oh, A.J. I'm sorry baby sis," Apple Bloom apologized as she nuzzled her sister. Applejack calmed down a bit, but reached for her mother for she was hungry. Apple Turnover then herd her little Daughters tummy rumble. "Oh, looks like lil baby Applejack hasn't lost her appitite," Apple Turnover said as she took her daughter into her arms and nuzzled her nose, making Applejack giggle. Applejack was soon set near her mom's teats and Appleturnover looked at everyone signaling them to leave the room. Granny was the first to get the message as she scooted everyone into the kitchen, including Princess Luna. Soon Applejack started to get her fill as Apple Trunover nuzzled her and pulled a blanket over her to keep her warm give her privacy, in case some pony walked back in. She knew there was going to be a lot of explaining to do, and luckily Princess Luna was going to help. Just hopefully Princess Celestia was willing too. Author's Note Okay, end of chapter two. Man I gotta wrap these stories up if I am to make my latest creation for this series. I think one more chapter for each should do it, well, two for Rainbow and Lightnings stroy, and maybe Twilight's, but trust me, it will be worth it. So now the Apple Family knows about A.J. and most of her friends' being foalified, now it's all a matter of getting everypony to see what has happened to each other. I will update when I can. I have tried to rest my brain, but so many ideas are popping in I am on a roll with this and must continue. So I have to choose what I can and make it so it all makes sense. Hope you all enjoy. Please leave a positive comment and constructive criticism. I must rest for now. Hope to hear from you all soon. Sorry if this chapter feels a bit rushed.
Two Apple Foals are Better Then OneAs the days went by, everypony at the farm was getting used to Applejack's new role as the youngest of the family. Luna, after a day or two, made her way back to Canterlot, but not before helping Apple Bloom with her dreams like she had with her friends. Apple Bloom had a hard time adjusting on the first day as the big sister to her little sister, but, wanting to show that she was not a baby and could do her part and not go through another fiasco like had happened with Applejack. Everypony was up to speed with what had happened among Applejack and her friends, and Apple Bloom thought it was a bit of a bummer that her two friends were now foals themselves. She knew more than likely this would add fuel to the non-stop teasing they were getting from Diamond Tiara. Silver Spoon seemed to have backed off and it looked like she tried a few times to apologize and make up, but it seemed something was stopping her, which Apple Bloom guessed was Diamond Tiara. Now that she thought about it, every time Silver Spoon approached them, they caught a glimpse of Diamond Tiara as well, and it seemed that Diamond Tiara knew something that kept Silver Spoon from talking to the CMC. What it was, Apple Bloom didn't know. Today, her dad Apple Cobler asked for help in the orchard since there were a lot of apples that had fallen from their branches during the storm and some were still in good condition, so he wanted them gathered before their pigs had their way with them. Apple Bloom didn't mind, since it took apple bucking out of the equation. She agreed to take the north part of the orchard while her brother took the south and east areas and her dad took the west side. Soon all the Apple family was hard at work. Well, all but Applejack, and even though Apple Turnover insisted on helping out, Granny Smith wouldn't have it. She made it clear that Applejack was her top focus for the day, and knowing she couldn't change Granny's mind because of her stubborn nature, she agreed to keep herself focused on Applejack. She would have to sit down with Granny and talk when she had the chance, for she did not want make her other children feel like they meant nothing to her. True she had only been back for a week at most, but that didn't change the fact that all her children required her attention. Big Mac, she knew was old enough to understand that his younger siblings were in need of more attention and he didn't mind. It was Apple Bloom that worried her. No longer the youngest in the family, she might start to feel that she isn't of much importance if she sees most of her mother's time spent with her now younger sister. Apple Turnover would make it her mission to give all her children the same amount of attention as much as she could. Soon it was lunch time, and Applejack was place by her mother's belly to get to her meal. Apple Cobbler walked in and sighed a bit of relief, "Phew, tougher than Ah remember, all that gatherin up apples has worked up my appetite." "Eeyup," Big Mac exclaimed as he walked in behind his dad. "Ah see you two have been workin hard. Lunch is almost ready. Granny made some apple dumplins along with some tomato soup and sweet potater pie," Apple Turnover said. "Mmm, sounds good. Has Apple Bloom trotted in yet?" Apple Cobbler asked. "No, Ah know fillies her age have a lot of energy, but remember, she's far younger than Big Mac and smaller, so for her it's a lot more ground to cover. I'm sure she'll be along soon, just give her a bit of time," Apple Turnover said. "Good point, I know she'd be too stubborn ta ask for help anyhow. She gets that from you," Apple Cobbler said. "Me? Cobbler dear, she gets that from yer side of the family, right Big Mac?" Apple Turnover asked. "Eenope," he replied. "See, even our son says it comes from you," Apple Cobbler said. "Eenope," Big Mac stated. "Huh?" Apple Turnover and Apple Cobbler ask in response. "Oh, for Lan sake, she gets it from both of ya'll," Granny said as she came in to let them know dinner was ready. "Eeyup," Big Mac agreed. The Apple parents look at each other and gave each other a goofy smile before laughing. "Now, let's all get some food in our bellies," Granny Smith said. "I'll go call for Apple Bloom," Apple Turnover said as she finished burping Applejack and setting her in her play pen. "Alright honey," Apple Cobbler said. Apple Turnover headed outside and and called, "Apple Bloom! Soups on!" ....there was no response. "Apple Bloom!" She called again. ....again no response. "Granny, Big Mac, does Apple Bloom usually not reply back when she's coming in for food?" Apple Turnover asked. "No, she usually is very on point about callin back when she's called in fer meals. This ain't like her, and the north side a the orchard isn't that far that it'd be out of range," Granny said. "Well, maybe she went to see her friends in town," Apple Cobbler said. "Not likely son, her friends were foalified, remember?" Granny explained. "Oh, right, that slipped my mind for a moment," Apple Cobbler said. "Well, I'm not waitin around to see if she comes back without sayin she's a comin. I'm headin ta the north side to see what's keepin her. If she comes back, tell her I went to find her if she asks where I am," Apple Turnover said. "Hold up Ma, I'm comin with ya," Big Mac said. "Big Mac I... oh, alright. Guess I can't stop a big brother worryin bout his lil sister," Turnover said. "Eenope," Big Mac said. Soon the two made it out the door and headed for the north side of the farm. They called out for Apple Bloom but heard no response as they made their way through the orchard. "Where could she be? I know she's been the adventurous type, but I know she's also one to finish her chores before she gallops off for fun, from what of seen while watching you four from above," Trunover exclaimed. "Not sure Ma, maybe she ran outta energy and decided to take a nap for a bit, though, it's not usually like her to do that," Big Mac said. "Well we'll just have to..." Suddenly their conversation was broken, by the sounds of a foal crying for their mother. Apple Turnover bolts off in the direction of the cries and Big Mac is not too far behind. What they see next surprises both of them. Meanwhile, back at the house, Granny and Cobbler were keeping Applejack entertained as Cobbler made her feel like she was flying up in the air like a pegasus, and then bringing her down making raspberries on her cheek. Granny just couldn't help but smile as she watched them. It was almost as if the accident that had claimed her son and her daughter's life had never happened, and she hoped would never happen again. After a while, the doors opened to reveal Apple Turnover and Big Mac with some goofy looks on their face. "Honey, did you find her, is she okay?" Apple Cobbler said as she sat applejack down in front of him. "Yes, she's fine, however, she had a cute little mishap," Apple Turnover said. She turned to show a much smaller, much younger Apple Bloom, around Applejack's age, possibly a tad younger. Granny slapped her forhead. "Oh, dear, we got another case off regression," Granny said. "How did it happen?" Cobbler asked. "Well, she seemed to be working hard and then, I guess she got hungry while working, and decided to take a bite of an apple to hold her over till lunch time," Turnover said. "Eeyup. Unfortunately, she more then likely thought that the apples from the Apple Tree of Youth looked delicious and decided to take a bite. I told ya we shoulda warned her but them before she took off Pa. She didn't know what the youth apples looked like," Big Mac said. "Well, I didn't think she needed to be warned. I expected she would bring some of them back in her bucket loads and we could sort them out afterwards. I didn't think she'd take a bite outta one while workin," Cobbler admitted. "Well, what's done is done, I'm just surprised that the apple didn't have the same effect on her as it did little Flutters. Fluttershy can still talk, but Apple Bloom can't do anything but babble right now," Turnover said. "Well, maybe eating it rather then drinking the juice has different effects," Granny reckoned. "Maybe," Turnover agreed. Their thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a rumbling tummy. Turnover looked back to see her little Apple Bloom covering her eyes and her cheeks going redder then her brother's coat of fur. "Looks like somepony's worked up an apatite. Come here you little rascal," Apple Turnover said as she grabbed her youngest daughter by the scruff of her neck and carried her to the couch-bed. After securing a diaper on her littlest one, she layed Apple Bloom close to her belly, and after a bit of hesitating and seeing a blanket over to give her privacy, she latched on to gain her meal that she needed. Applejack joined her, since she had the apatite of a full grown stallion, while Granny scooted the boys out of the room so Turnover could have a special moment with her "tiny" Apples. She put her head under the blanket nuzzled her daughters, now happy to have both of them as close to her as possible. "My cute little Apples," she sighed. She soon laid her head down and took a light nap as her daughter's fed, still aware they were feeding. Meanwhile, back at Canterlot Castle. Luna had just finished signing most of the papers for rights to take her son Night Mist home. When she got back to the throne room, she noticed Discord was waiting there. "Discord, what have I said about siting in our seats?" Luna warned. "Oh, Princess Luna, it's not like I'm dreaming about taking over Equestria again. After bumping into Kind Heart on our first meeting that's the last thing on my mind, if it were on my mind at all. I was merely keeping them warm for you and Celestia. I know how cold it can get in the throne room sometimes. Have you ever thought of installing a fireplace or maybe using a spell to keep the temperature constant?" Discord asked. "I'll think about having a fire place installed, but don't think I don't know that you're up to something," Luna said. "Me? I am not doing anything your highness. Well, aside from a few pranks on some snotty nobles, but other than that I'm keeping my nose clean," Discord said before pulling out a handkerchief and blowing into it, causing many prank items and a big liquid vile of some sort fall onto the ground. "Ah, I was wondering where that vile had gone to. I've been saving it for.... something. Now what was it? Oh well, I'll probably remember later," Discord says before snapping his claw and making all the prank gizmos disappear. Night Mist clapped and giggled as he watched all of this. "I see your son, the little prince is enjoying his time here in the castle. Congrats on the adoption by the way," Discord said. "Well, thank you. All though I wish I could give him a brother or sister to have fun with so he doesn't get lonely," Luna said. "And why haven't you?" Discord pondered. "All the orphanages in the area are ironically empty of fillies and colts. They said that some of the fillies and colts from the other towns like Baltimare and Fillydelphia are being transferred to the ones here, but it will be a while," Luna said. "Well, I'm sure something will turn up soon. You might get like a half dozen foals to take care of. And don't try and deny you wouldn't want that to happen," Discord said. "I guess I'm guilty there, but Night Mist happened by chance. I'm not sure I'll get that kind of luck again. He's the only alicorn here I've seen so far that did not spawn from my sister or myself, and Cadence said she hasn't spawned any of her own, granted Twilight is now a, what you call, surprise in the making," Luna said. "Well, you never know what may happen. Have you told any of your other family members about this adoption of yours. Blueblood in particular?" Discord asked. "No, I haven't. First I want to get my little Prince Night Mist settled in. Besides, you know how Blueblood is. And before I even consult with him, I must speak first with my mother, and I'll be letting Cadence know before Blueblood has chance to have his way," Luna said. "I see. Oh, Celestia wanted me to tell you that she had the letter sent to Twilight's friends in Ponyville about the meeting she wants to have with all of them. Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor will be informed by tomorrow morning," Discord said. "Oh, alright, and where is my sister now?" Luna asked inquisitively. "Oh, she said she had some errands she had to run and would be home by dinner time," Discord said. "Alright, thank you," Luna said. Night Mist went wide eyed. He knew what was happening and only hoped that Celestia wasn't too hard with her frying pan. In his moment of panic, he realized he now needed a diaper change and Luna could smell it. "Phew, come along Night Mist, we best get you changed before you get a rash," Luna said as she carried him back to his nursery. Night Mist looked back at Discord and saw him wink and soon narrowed his eyes thinking of only one thing in his head, 'I knew he was evil. Eviiil! Sky Hooves, Death2205, Shadowmane, TornadoBlitz Autum Breeze, and Super Stallion, you better watch out.' Over in the human world *Meanwhile at Death2205's place.* Death2205 sighs," "What's so important Celestia has to t-" *booonng* He passes out from a frying pan to the head. Celestia smiles, "That's one." She grabs him and transports with him through the rift while turning him into a foal. *Meanwhile at Sky Hooves place.* Sky Hooves laughs, "Wow Discord, why do I have a feeling you had something to do wi-" Tia's horn touches the back of his neck, knocking him out. Tia caught him before saying, "There's two." She makes her escape through the rift and makes him a foal. *Meanwhile at Shadowmane PX-41's place.* Shadowmane PX-41 deduced everything and said, "Ha, Celestia's going on errands. I know what she's up to and she won't expect to not find me at my computer." He makes a bolt for the door to street out front only to see a magical ball of rainbow come flying at him as he's about to escape, sending him through the rift and changing him to foal status. "You think he would know by now I know every move he'll make," Celestia said as she finishes filling one of her hooves to pristine shine, then flies in after him with the foal basket. *Meanwhile at TornadoBlitz place.* TornadoBlitz had just finished with his latest chapter on his parody and said, "Well, looks like I've got some more to work with on my parody to Night Mist's story "My Life as a Prince". Just need to press publish aaaand..." *Star dust blown into his face* "*Cough* Sleepy time," he said as fell backwards unconscious into the big foal basket right after he was foalified. "Sorry dear, but you'll have to wait to publish that later," Celetia said as she flies through the rift. *Meanwhile at Autum Breeze's place.* Autum Breeze taunted, "Ooh. You really have me scared Celestia. I know how to defend myself, even against an alic- " Tia uses flash magic for temporary blindness, and then uses star dust on Autum. Tia shook her head, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk. I came prepared. You must have been hitting the punch, cause I know your not normally this cocky. But since you feel so bold, I got something special planned for you." She casted her foalification spell, and placed her new niece in the foal basket. *Meanwhile at Super-Stallion's place.* Super-Stallion sighed, "Not again".*pinch* "Owy!" He dropped to floor after he was given a sedative used with a kryponian needle that acted fast. "Yes, again little one. You'll have so much fun," Celestia said as she foalified Super-Stallion and carried his unconscious body in the basket through the rift. Author's Note Hey guess what everypony? So, this is the final chapter in my Applejack arc of this foalification series and Now I can keep my focus on only three stories involving foals. I know I kept you all waiting for this and I am sorry. Trust me Mama Luna, Auntie Tia, Auntie Cadence and Grandma Lauren Faust gave me plenty of spankings, I won't be able to sit for a week. I don't know how Uncle Shiny found out, but he knew I was a military Brony and made me do foal push ups and sit ups. I'm gonna wish that I had never gotten on grandma's bad side more than anypony else for weeks. Queen Lauren Faust: Get on with it! NM: Eep! Sorry Grandma. anyways. Now I know many of you saw this coming with Apple Bloom and some are probably wondering if Big Mac will suffer the same fate. Well I'm here to tell you I don't plan on having Big Macintosh foalified.....yet. Also for Death2205, Sky Hooves, Shadowmane PX-41, TornadoBlitz, Autum Breeze, and Super Stallion, this is not my fault. Discord has been in cahoots with Celestia and their out of control. I'm only a foal. I couldn't stop them, they've taken over. I'm sorry. (P.S. I felt it was only right to have Super-Stallion join my group of foalified bronies since he was the one who started it all. To all my fellow Authors, keep up the great work on your stories, and to my readers, hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing it.)
