3 weeks had passed since Daring Do had payed a visit to Princess Luna. After getting the horseshoe secured from Ahuizotl's grasp, she did a little shopping and got some outfits for Luna's little ones. The little troublemakers of the night were now becoming a little more active and a larger hassle for the castle staff. Most had learned how to walk about 8 days ago and had begun galloping and jumping too. But not Night Mist and Peanut Butter. They were still in crawl mode, so it was easy for Luna to keep them from getting into certain sorts of mischief.

She knew that Bat Ponies tended to be late bloomers when it came to developing motor and speech skills and Alicorn born Bat Ponies were no different. Now Peanut was able to stand on his hooves for about 15 to 20 seconds at a time, but for Night Mist, he could only hoist himself halfway before finding himself on his tummy five seconds later. He really felt down that he couldn't keep up with his brothers and sisters. Thankfully, Luna's loyal pet Nightshade, who was a winged wolf, helped to cheer him up most of the time. But for the last few days, Night Mist felt really down. Luna then decided she would have the family go and see Mama Cadence in the Crystal Empire.

For one she felt that she was hogging all the time with the little ones and Cadence deserved some time with them too. She also felt it would help cheer her little ones up, and because Twilight had just entered crawling stage, and couldn't even stand yet, that would give Night Mist some confidence back. So today here after flying in yesterday by carriage. Misty and Star Dancer were of course along for the ride.

Three days ago when they had arrived, they were greeted by Cadence, Shining Armor, the Sparkle parents, and of course Cadence's three little bundles of joy and trouble. That day had also done a number on Night Mist and Peanut Butter's eyes as well. Their shades provided little protection. Fortunately, Cadence had two specially made shades created for them and they were able to get relief for their eyes once more. Cadence had explained that there were some crystal bat ponies and their eyes were just as sensitive, so the empire needed shades to help them. They then came up with this new shade that not only helped, but once the bat ponies put them on, they looked like they weren't even wearing them thanks to a new material they found to make it possible. this also helped to stop the argument that some thought the bat ponies were using the shades more for style then eye protection.

Today, the Lunar and Crystal family were waiting for Kind Heart and her daughter Fluttershy to arrive, since the day before they had to deal with a little trouble. As the foals played in the nursery, under the watchful eyes of their mothers, Cadence spoke with her sister. "So has there been any word on Mrs. Cakes little one on the way? I heard that the town has been setting up for almost a week now," Cadence stated.

"Well, it is true that they are setting up for Pinkie's arrival. I guess some of her enthusiasm finally got transferred to her new mother. She's been hyperactive a lot, and made sure all was going well, and she was also insisting on the Princesses attending her welcome home party when Pinkie arrives, and honestly, how could we say no?" Luna replied.

"Good point. I wonder she'll still be an Earth pony, or if she may come out a pegasus or unicorn this time," Cadence pondered.

"I think that will depend on how much Cup Cake's body will have an affect on her. It also will depend on how far she was regressed after the 'cute little incident' that took place. If she is born like before, at least they can say they have a family of every pony type... well, every mortal pony type that is," Luna corrected herself.

"Well, not bat ponies, but I guess they are a branch of pegasi, but still," Cadence said.

"I guess you're right," Luna said.

"Now, what's this I hear about a rumored stallion you have eyes for?" Cadence asked.

"Hmhmhm, Cadence, you have me confused for our sister. She's the one who had her eyes set on a certain somepony lately. I won't reveal who it is though. That is for big sister Tia to decide when she wants that info leaked. She's already getting enough publicity with the adoption of her little Sunset, course, you and I know the public sees her as her natural born daughter. She had joked of regressing Sunset to where she would be pregnant with her, and Sunset's foal side had won over and she took it as she would be gobbled up by her mommy. I had giggled a bit that we hadn't seen Sunset had been listening in," Luna said.

"Well, it would kind of be a good idea, should some crazy scientist try to go public and say they are not blood related. Some ponies are suspicious since Sunset has no wings," Cadence said.

"I know, but I'm not so sure that we should have her do this, that would require Discord making another potion that has slight alterations to his original, and we all know why that can't happen," Luna stated giving Cadence a stern look.

"Okay, I get it. But hey he could have seriously hurt our little Nighty with that stunt he pulled. So I figured, if he's gonna behave like a foal, why not make him one so he fits his behavior. You gotta admit, he is a cute little lord of chaos," Cadence said.

"I admit to nothing," Luna said with a guilty smile.

"Anyways, that slide of youth we installed, wasn't actually meant for him. I actually had it installed for one, letting parents have another chance to raise their children, should the children agree of course, and to have a few nobles be taught a lesson, should they get too far out of line," Cadence said.

"I see," Luna replied.

"Thing is, there's more then one that I installed, some can take you all the way back to foal hood if your adult, others just shed some years off, and I have the slide of aging that gives everypony their original age back, should they decide to grow back up, give or take a year or two younger then they were. I did give a test run on the slides of aging with Flash, but unfortunately, his condition could not be altered, so it lead me to assume that it will only work on those who use the slides of youth. I could see if it works on the others, but I have a feeling Mother Lauren was right about how all our regressed foals can't be given their adulthood back other then time being the cure," Cadence said.

"Wait, what would happen if you sent a foal down the slide of youth?" Luna asked.

"I haven't tested what would happen in that situation, and not sure I want to find out. Besides, I think one trip to Mama's tummy was enough for my little Twily here," Cadence said as she picked up her little crystal daughter.

"I completely understand that," Luna said.

"So have you been searching for any more little ones for our parent-in-laws to spoil," Cadence said.

"Maybe... maybe not. Nighty, Peanut, Shadow, Autum, Fire, Sky, Tornado, and Onyx sort of were a blessing that came out of nowhere. If anymore fall into my lap, of course I won't hesitate to adopt them," Luna said.

"I see," Cadence said.

Soon their attention was a bit of a clanging outside. "Get back here you little troublemaker!" They heard Emerald shout.

"Discord," they sighed in unison.

Cadence walked outside the door to see that Baby Discord was running around with attire that clearly was too big for him, and Emerald was chasing after him. "That is my best line about to be marketed, and I will not have you ruin it," Emerald said.

Discord kept laughing, since his mind had been regressed as well as his body, thanks to a temporary effect of the slide and soon bumped into Cadence's leg. He looked up and his smile became a face of 'Uh oh, I'm busted'. "Now Discord, what have I told you about playing nice with other ponies?" Cadence asked.

Discord covered his face, to try and hide his guilt but it didn't work. Cadence soon had him in a aura and had removed the attire he was wearing and gave it to Emerald. "Now, your new Mama's coming soon. We can't have you misbehaving when she gets here. Do you promise to not cause any more trouble?"Cadence asked.

Discord simply nodded. "Good, because we have something special for you once Mama Kind Heart gets here," Cadence stated.

Discord face lit up. He liked surprises, and couldn't wait to see what they had for him. Soon a guard announced that Kind Heart and Fluttershy had arrived. Luna soon gathered up all of her and Cadence's foals, and soon took them to the throne room. Shining Armor was already there, catching up on the latest of how the Royal Guard had been doing. While he was pleased with how some had been behaving after he surrender his position of authority as Captain of the Royal Guard to become a prince, he wasn't so pleased with how the other's had been behaving. Perhaps suggesting that Celestia and Luna promote Star Dancer to Captain of the Royal Guard, maybe she could straighten things up. Misty of course tried to keep herself busy in the kitchen til Luna, Cadence, or the Sparkle parents called upon her services. Cadence soon sat on her throne and Luna sat on the one that had risen next to her. They waited and soon Kind Heart came in. "Hello your majesties, I hope I haven't arrive late or anything," Kind Heart said.

"Actually, you are quite early Mrs. Kind Heart. We are very glad you made it here safely," Luna said.

"So, what has happened that I was summoned here today, if I may ask?" Kind Heart requested.

"Well, it is because of this little troublemaker," Cadence said, as she lifted Discord out in front of her with her magic and set him in front of her forhooves.

"Oh, my, and how did the lord of chaos come to be this way you highnesses? Kind Heart asked.

Cadence explained to her about the slides of youth and the slides of age. Kind Heart was surprised and thought Cadence was very thoughtful for having done such a thing. She added that Cadence should be able to use it, only, if they have good, legitimate reasons for doing so. Cadence and Luna agreed perfectly. "So, with that little bit out the way, I also have an offer I would like to make to you," Cadence said.

"Oh, and what might that be your majesty?" Kind Heart asked curiously.

"Well, now I will not force this, but, I do have this potion here that I made. It's a very simple transformation potion that I received from Zecora. It can transform Discord into a pony. What type, I do not know. I know he is already part pony, but I thought I would offer you this in case he might want to be a pony. Now, this potion will have no effect on his magic that he possesses, only change what he looks like, so you might get a pegasus or earth pony with magic they usually don't have. Also, I have a reverse potion here that will give him back his true form, should he want to become his draconeques self," Cadence said as she held the potion bottles in front of them.

"I see, so he has the option of becoming a pony, or not, could the same work on Spike," she asked, remembering he was a dragon at one point.

"I did try it on Spike, but since he had also regressed, the potions mixed as one, making this his new permanent from," Cadence said.

"I see," Kind heart said.

"Now, I will not force him to ch-" she was cut off as she saw Discord leap for the pony transformation bottle and grab it, and before she could stop him, he had drunk some of the potion.

Soon his body was absorbed in light and, now laying there before them was a pegasus with Discords fur color and mane color. His eyes had changed a bit, but still resembled his eye color. No pony had noticed before hoof that the mental effects of the slide had worn off during the conversation and he had heard enough to make up his mind. "Well, it looks like this little lord of chaos made his own decision," Kind Heart said.

"Looks like it," Luna agreed.

"Well, now that is all settled, why don't we.... wait, where's Peanut and Nighty?" Cadence asked.

No one had realized the two had crawled off out of the throne room while they had been talking. Luna soon had a play pen made at the ready and set her little ones in it as well as Cadence's little ones and Discord. She soon asked if Kind heart would look after them while she and Cadence went to track down their two stealthy children of the night. As they went to track down Night Mist and Peanut Butter. Kind Heart pondered as she looked at her adopted son, "Now, what should we call you other than Discord little one?"

Author's Note

Well, that took longer then I thought it would. So, Discords a baby now, if you want to know how he ended up on the slide of youth, check out my blog that talks about Spike to find out, and be sure to comment as well, while your there. So... what mischief have Peanut Butter and I pulled off? Well, I'll have to talk it over with him first, then I'll reveal.

Also, be sure to comment on my sibling's stories they are working on. Like me they could use the support. Look up, Super-Stallion, PeanutButterBrony, Shadowmane PX-41, Autum Breeze, Sky Hooves, and TornadoBlitz. Death2205 (a.ka. Fire Star) does not have any stories as far as I know.

On another note, please leave me a positive comment and constructive criticism for my latest chapter. Also, I would like to hear suggestions for names you might want to give Discord for future chapters. I might pick my own, but I would like to hear some catchy ones you have. Hope you have a nice day and- *mouth covered by Peanut.*

Peanut Butter: *Whispers* Shhhh, we no want dem to finds us wittwe bwo, we on mission wemembew.

Me: *Whispers* Oh wight sowwy.

Both of us: *Whisper* Bye bye fow now. *We crawl away undetected.*
