Previously, following the events in the finale of Even The Littlest Apple Can Make a Difference;
Over in the human world
Peanut Butter Brony: *Snickers as the others have been foalified* I got lucky I guess. Good chapter by the way :) Can't wait to see more.

Celestia: *Teleports in* Oh don't think I forgot about you, little troublemaker. *Blows star dust in his face*

PBB: night night. *Falls into the large foal basket as he is transformed into a foal.*

It had been about a week since Night Mist had appeared in Luna's chambers and had been adopted as her son of the night. He had to admit, it seemed reasonable to be her son, since his fur color matched his new mother's. But he had felt lonely like his mother said he might. There was no pony his age to play with, and he had nearly forgotten about his human life. He figured it might be a side affect of the transformation and the fact he had been transported to another world full of ponies. Whether that was good or bad all depended on how you looked at the situation. Night Mist was excited today though. Luna said that he would be meeting friends today and his new Auntie Cadence, Uncle Shining and Auntie Tia that he had met would be there, as well as his new Grandma, Lauren Faust.. There was something that Celestia did that he couldn't remember anymore.

He was excited, this was their first meeting together, and he couldn't hold it in. "Hmhmhm, Settle Down Night Mist. I need to get your little crown on. It's not gonna fit if you keep jumping around like that," Said his mother.

Night Mist stopped bouncing and covered his face to try and look innocent. "Hmhm, somepony thinks they can outsmart their mommy with that cute face huh?" Luna joked as she place the crown on his head and the magic enchantment kept it in place.

Night mist popped his eyes out, and gave her puppy dog eyes. "Oh, no you don't, no pony can escape the tickle wrath of the Mother of the Night," Luna said as she began to tickle away at her son's tummy.

Night Mist was shown no mercy and flailed his tiny legs helplessly as his mom kept tickling him. Soon enough, Luna stopped her tickle attack and said as she checked her son's diaper, "Alright now let's get you changed and then we'll head downstairs to meet your new friends."

Night Mist reached for his new mom and she levitated him into her forehooves and cuddled him close as she carried him to the changing table. Even though Night Mist wasn't pleased that he couldn't remember how he showed up in his mother's room, every time she would cheer him up with her motherly acts. Soon, Luna had him clean and in a new fresh diaper. "Now, time to go meet your new friends sweetie," Luna said.

Luna levitated him into her forehooves again and nuzzled him. Night Mist then let his foalish side take over and bopped her nose as he made some noisy raspberries with his tongue. "Awwww, you got me," Luna said as she smiled at her son's adorableness.

She then levitated him onto her back and made sure he was secured with her magic so he wouldn't fall off. Then she made for the door, where two Lunar guards were standing watch awaiting the orders from their Princess of the Night. As Luna Stepped out of her room with Night Mist, one guard used his voice to alert the other guards and said, "The Royal Lunar Family is departing the Lunar Chambers."

This was one tradition that Celestia had decided to keep, and Luna had to admit, it was annoying her greatly, especially when it caused her little one to cover his ears and hide his head in her mane. She would have to have a talk with her sister about that. But that's not what was important. Today, she and Celestia would be meeting with the regressed victims and their families. Luna was wondering what was going on. All of Twilight's friends were regressed, as were siblings of a few of them. She and Celestia had also received word that not long after Twilight became their little sister Cadence's foal on the way, that Flash had suffered a regressive fate of his own by the hooves of his now older brother, little Prince Spike.

Twilight had mentioned something in one of her letters about a potion she had discovered... or created, Luna forgot which, but that was a transformation potion, which only worked on non-pony species, in turn affecting Spike. She had to see what ingredients were in that potion to see if that's what caused Spike's outburst of magic, powerful enough to regress his little brother, Prince Flash Sentry.

That analyzing would have to wait, since she had the meeting in the throne room to attend. One thing that was also on Luna's mind was what her sister had been up to. A week ago, she saw their mother chasing her and Lauren seemed enraged. Maybe they had an intense game of chess again, or Celestia had snooped about Lauren's private studies again... or maybe pulled a prank on her again. All the same, Lauren warmed up to Night Mist quickly when they first met. She did see that Night Mist was a little shy to meet her at first. Maybe it was because she even towered over Celestia, by being at least a head taller, that she may have been intimidating. It was anypony's guess.

As she and her son neared the Throne Room, her eyes fell upon a group of familiar ponies. All who had a run-in with some regressive nature of sorts. Shining and Cadence were leading the group, Cadence stood out, being round with her little passenger, and Shining with two fussy little colts that seemed to want to crawl around as they were carried in foal carriers. Trailing behind them was Spitfire and Soarin with three little flapping hurricanes, wanting to use their energy and move around as they struggled in foal carriers of their own. Next came the Apple Family, with two little apple seeds trying to reach for their mother's hat as they were pushed in a stroller, which acted like a wagon, being pulled by Big Mac. Then came Lord Fancy Pants and his fiance, Emerald, who was carrying two precious jewels that now meant the world to her on her back with a spell much like Luna was using for Night Mist. Right behind them was the family famous for their sweets, the Cake Family. Luna always wondered how they were blessed with two different pony types, other then earth pony. Maybe they had a relation to the royal family somehow, but then again, that's a little far fetched, seeing as they had another little one on the way after a regression of a certain party pony. She'd have to look through the records, but she was sure there was no family ties between them. Last, but certainly not least was Kind Heart, carrying, a very small, very calm, and very timid little bundle of love, who was cradled by Kind Heart's wings to keep her from falling, since she didn't like the idea of a foal carrier to transport her daughter in.

Luna greeted them as she said, "Welcome everypony. My this is quite a large bunch."

"Why howdy yer Majesty. I wasn't aware that you had a foal of your own," Granny Smith stated.

"Luna, dear sister, you never told me you were with foal. Did Celestia know of this?" Cadence asked.

"Well, no, she didn't. To be honest, this little guy was laying on my bed when I found him. I don't know who brought him there, or why, but upon inspection, I found somebody had caused him harm leaving a little bump on his head. I'll admit, I became attached to my little Night Mist fairly quick," Luna said.

"Aww, Night Mist is a cute name for him your highness," Emerald said.

"Prince Night Mist?.... Hm, has a nice ring to it. I like it," Cadence said.

"Well, I then went down to the orphanage here in Canterlot and started sign the papers to leagally adopt him as my son. I haven't quite finished, and Cadence, I was wondering I could have a word with you after the meeting?" Luna asked.

"Of course sister," Cadence replied.

They soon all made their way into the throne room, where Princess Celestia and Queen Lauren were sitting on their appropriate thrones. "Mother, sister, sorry about the delay, we were held up by our little ones here," Luna stated.

All the parents/siblings, took the little foals over to a playpen that had been set up by the castle's hoof-maidens. As the foals crawled around and had fun, Luna made her way up to her throne and seated herself properly. Lauren cleared her throat and soon said, "You all know why you have been summoned by my daughter, so I won't waste time explaining how it all happened. Now I have been doing intense reading to see if I can find a cure for these regressive symptoms. Unfortunately I have found no spell, potion, or any means of fruit that can counter the effects. To even try and create any of the above would take years to concoct, and even more years to master. It seems the creator of these spells and potions did not have a fall back plan. And yes I have taken a look at both the potions created by Spitfire and Zecora, as well as the so called lotion and all lead back to a similar regression potion mix that had no reverse effect. The spells were also looked at as well, and no reversal spell is present to counter these effects. I also spared some time to speak with our ancestors in the heavens and all told me there was no way to reverse the changes at this present time. This does not mean we should not try and attempt to make this possible in the future, but that the only cure we have for the little ones is time itself. I am apologize that this is news you are not fond of hearing. Now there is another matter to bring forth."

"Indeed mother. As you all know, too many ponies are familiar with Twilight and her friends, and I theres no argument that the Cutie Mark Crusaders, I believe is what they call themselves, have also gained popularity, especially after the Equestria Games three months ago. If ponies see that they are missing and no where to be found, there will be a good amount of panic, and the nobles will want an explanation. Which is why we need to think of something to help ponies cope with this," Luna said.

"Oh, and I have just the thing," came a familiar, unnerving voice.

Discord soon snapped himself into the throne room. "Discord. This is a private meeting. You cannot just barge in whenever you please," Lauren scolded him.

"Now, now my Queen, my days of spreading Chaos worldwide are over. I only play a few pranks on nobles who deserve it once in a while to loosen them up. And do forgive me, but I couldn't help but eves drop on the conversation. It seemed far to juicy to pass up. I was here to offer one of two suggestions. First, why not use the mind wiping spell. I know it's not a spell you are fond of, but it was by your hoof at one point to limit the knowledge of the Crystal Empire when it disappeared. I know why you did and so do your daughters. If anypony else needs an explanation, I'll be happy to let them know," Discord said.

"Well, that is very kind of you, and I will take your suggestion under advisement. Now what was the other suggestion?" Lauren asked.

"I am glad you asked. I have been working on a potion for quite some time now. Now, bare in mind, this potion will not work on deities like alicorns and draconequeses, so it would not affect you or me even if I did slip it into your drink. Honestly, I don't think there is any ingredient that exist to give me that kind of power. Now, I also had to throw a spell in to make this potion very specific. It's actually a potion that is a variation you created yourself Celestia. Now, to continue, this potion not like any others out there. with one drop into any drink or directly to the mouth, a mortal pony would believe to see all the regressed ponies and their families as they are now. It was especially difficult for the case of Twilight and Pinkie Pie. I don't know how, but the Pie family found me as I was working on it, and demanded that one other variation be added as well. What it is, I can not say, but they specifically instructed me to do this and requested that I have the Cakes take a drop each, including the little ones. I do not wish to force this on them, cause that is too cruel, even for me, but it will take affect once everypony has gone to sleep. All I need is your approval. Theres enough to give to all the land of Equestria and the other nations around the world, just in case we have enemies who try to get any ideas. Once again it only needs your approval your highness," Discord said.

"Well, I was going to try other suggestions, but there are a lot of factors that come into play with those, and might spread conspiracies in the process. I am not fond of that mind wiping spell, since it is a hard one for many to perform, and even drains my power when I have to make it widespread, and it's even more difficult to not take away other memories made around the same time. This potion though, I do not like to fiddle with memories, but if it will only change what ponies know about the regressed victims, I suppose it may be our best option. But what of the history of the defeat of Luna's darker form and even the defeat of you before you were reformed and of Cadences wedding?" Lauren asked.

"I thought about that your majesty. I made cover stories to not make ponies suspicious of how those happened. I'll tell you later, but that's only if you are willing to go with this, your highness. I Pinkie Promise, there will be no funny business involved in this. Cross my heart hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Now you know as well as I that even though Pinkie Pie is still waiting to arrive, she will know by her senses if I have mislead you. And trust me, I do not want to be on her bad side. Or the Pies for that matter," Discord said.

Queen Lauren soon put it to vote among the ponies in the room of what would happen, and soon she said, "Very well, we will do it your way Discord, and have this potion taken by all. Do not double cross me, or Pinkie Pies wrath of breaking a Pinkie Promise will feel like a mere sting compared to the wrath I will release."

Discord shivered, "Trust me your highness, it would be the last thing I want. I will be on my way with the potion, oh, but first, I do need to ask, will all mortal ponies in the room allow me to give them a drop of the potion? As I said, I will not do this by force, and no tricks either."

All the ponies saw no disagreement to it. If the princesses had given him the okay, they saw no harm in it. Even if they had been led a stray, Lauren would make quick work of Discord if that was the case. They soon all took a drop of the potion he had on hoof, er, paw.. or was it claw? Afterwards Discord took his leave and had given Celestia a wink that was out of Luna's sight before disappearing. Lauren knew what that meant, and was going to have another talk with her daughter after the ponies retired to their rooms in the castle. "Well, everypony must be famished after a long trip to Canterlot, especially those who are expecting. Let us gather the little ones and take them to the dining hall. They soon made their way over and Luna notice her little Night Mist was beginning to look a little embarrassed. She knew what that meant. "Mother I will meet with all of you in a moment, right now, I need to take my little Nighty to get changed," She said.

"As you wish dear," Lauren said.

Soon Luna made her way up to the Lunar chambers carrying her son in a stroller this time that had been provided by Misty, her personal hoof-maiden during the meeting while everypony else was at discussion about what to do about the regression situation. When she opened the door, she was in for another shock equal to the discovery of her son. laying upon her bed was a large basket used for foals, and inside sat seven little alicorn foals. Six colts and one filly. The filly had the colors of autumn, brown and gold. One colt had a grayish-black fur color much darker then her own, but had an underbelly of light grey, as if he were wearing a suit, and his mane color was light red, nearly border-lining on pink. One of the colts had blue fur, lighter then her's or Night Mist's, and had a spiky black mane with a few white streaks running down the middle. Another colt had a brown pelt a little darker then the filly's and had a blue mane, similar to the color of the sky in the daytime. The next colt could have been mistaken to be Celesitia's foal, had it not been for the jet black mane, as dark as the night sky itself. The next little colt reminded her of Little Pip from Ponyville, making him all the more cuter. The last of them was truly unique. here was a peanut butter colored alicorn, and of all things had bat-like wings, much similar to some of the Lunar nights that stood watch. Not many had been blessed with these wings. To have them on an alicorn colt, that was a site to behold. Luna had many thoughts going through her mind. But now, these foals needed a home and Luna was not about to let these little angels leave her sight. She had a hunch they had wound up in the same situation as her son Night Mist. "Well looks like I have eight little "Angels of the Night" now. I think your Grandma, Aunt Celestia, and Aunt Cadence are gonna be quite shocked," Luna said to her self.

She soon made sure all the foals were diapered and used a spell to enlarge her stroller. Night Mist knew there would be a lot of explaining to do. Luna soon made her way down to the dining hall to show everypony.

Author's Note

Queen Lauren: Finished with chapter two. Sorry about the long wait. Since my return to Equestrian life, I've been busy with the subjects, so I had barely any time to talk to my grandson about this chapter.

So, I have now allowed Discord to take care of covering his and my daughter Tia's trail, but I will be having a word with them after this. Night Mist has finally met up with his siblings and will have a lot to try and explain from what he can remember. I do not know of what Discord has put in that potion of his, but as he said, it cannot work on deities. He will be telling me before next chapter though, trust me. Now I wonder how everypony will react when they see a few more authors and readers have entered the story. I know how I'll react, and I wonder what it is that Luna wants to ask Cadence. We'll just have to wait and see. Now please leave a positive comment and/or constructive criticism for my grandson, I have to get back to the castle, I can already sense my grandchildren causing a ruckus. Stay tuned. Oh and if you have the time, be sure to read my grandson, Shadowmane PX-41's story, "The Siren Song: Dazzle Dazzle, Little Stars" and watch out for the sequel as well.
