After Twilight greeted her teacher, she started to go on about all the amazing things she learned in Ponyville, even if it didn't involve learning about friendship. Celestia loved hearing her stories, but now the thought being a mother was back on her mind. Twilight didn't take notice for a while until Celestia didn't answer a question she had asked.

"Um, Princess Celestia?" Twilight said as she snapped her teacher's mind back to reality.

"Oh, I'm sorry Twilight. I got sidetracked, what was the question?" Celestia asked.

"I asked, do you think that we should possibly instruct at least a small group of ponies to learn more about Equestria's past? I'm sure there are some who are interested," Twilight suggested.

"Hmm. That's actually not a bad idea at all. I'm sure that many would be interested about Equestria's past. And it might clear up a few loop holes that our subjects keep asking me about, such as my family lineage for starters," Celesita said, trying not to worry her favorite student.

"Are you feeling alright you majesty? You seem to be a little distracted by something," Twilight said.

"Hmhm, I guess it's more obvious then I realize. I suppose I should say there has been something bothering me," Celestia admitted.

"Well, what seems to be the trouble your highness?" Twilight asked.

"It's nothing of significant importance to the kingdoms well being, it's more of a personal problem really," Celestia answered, hoping her student wouldn't poke further at the question.

She wasn't so lucky as Twilight said, "Well, I am your student and I hate to see my mentor feeling troubled."

"Alright, I guess there's no reason to keep it secret from you, but, why don't we wait til we're back on castle grounds. I do not want the whole kingdom to worry about me," Celestia pointed out.

Twilight nodded and they trotted to the castle. They greeted Twilight's parents along the way, as well as Pony Joe, and some other acquaintances of Twilight's, plus some of the other mares and stallions that had been and were still attending Celestia's school. Soon they made it to the royal gardens, where some of the castle staff were trimming up the place to make sure it all looked pristine.

"Now to help you understand what's been troubling me let me start from the beginning. I have been ruling Equestria for many centuries, far over 1000 years. Since that time that I have been one of it's rulers, I have watched as my subjects flourished, growing from cute innocent little foals, both colt and filly, to fine Stallions and Mares. As all that time went on, I've often been watching as those families grew, and... it made me start to gain this wanting of being a mother to somepony. I know it sounds silly, since I am looking out for all my subjects," Celestia said.

"That doesn't sound silly at all your majesty. I'd be surprised if you didn't feel like you should be a mother. I think you would make a fine one, Princess Celestia," Twilight said.

This surprised Celestia that her student would compliment her in such a manner. "I'm flattered Twilight," She stated.

"No, I mean it you highness. Any pony alive today would be lucky to have a mother like you," Twilight said.

Celestia didn't know what to think. Here, her student, her personal protege' was telling her she would be an excellent mother. Then she smiled, "I suppose you're right Twilight, I mean, I would always love to have a child. Spoil them a bit, but teach them to be a decent pony as they grow up. I suppose more then anything, it's when their a foal is when I would want to start taking care of them. I always had a certain urge to play little games with foals like pick-a-boo and such, just to get that cute little giggle and smile from them. I never did it to any of my subjects foals, for one, I am the face of the nation, and I don't think most ponies would smile kindly on a princess who acts silly around foals, plus, I have a feeling some parents might find it a bit unnerving that their princess would act in such a way around their foals. So all I ever did was keep my composure, only giving a simple smile and an occasional brush of the mane when the parents allowed it. I even got one foal grabbing my hoof once and the parents felt so embarrassed their little one did such a thing in front of their ruler."

"I see," Twilight said, seeing where her ruler and mentor was coming from.

"I suppose as of recent, I've wanted more then ever to be a mother. I had considered adoption for starters, since as of now, I have found no mate I approve of, and so far, all stallions who have tried to woe me were no more then selfish nobles who wanted to gain a better position in the political and social areas. Honestly, they think I'm blind to their tricks, but I have been around longer then they have to know what they are trying to do," Celestia said.

"I can understand adoption, so why haven't you, if you you don't mind me asking your highness?" Twilight asked.

"Twilight, I've told you that you can address me as Celestia when no other nobles or ponies outside the castle grounds are about. Now to answer your question, it's the fact that all orphanages within the area are empty. I have heard some are having new arrivals transported in soon, but none have orphans up for adoption at this point. And I cannot simply take off to other areas of the kingdom whenever I feel the need to, I have to let my subjects know where I will be so they won't worry. It did come to my attention recently that my sister Luna had a possible suggestion," Celestia said.

"Oh, and what was that Celestia?" Twilight asked.

"Well, I'm sure your familiar with age changing spells, am I right?" Celestia asked.

"Yes, but only the most high level unicorns can perform those kinds of spells, and, well in your case it would be easy, since your alic-, wait are you suggesting you wish to use an age changing spell on someone?!" Twilight asked alarmed.

"Clam down, calm down Twilight. Now I was only taking that one into consideration. And further more, if I chose to perform this on any pony, I would only do it by their complete consent and it would only be temporary. I would never force that on somepony... well, not if they were an upstanding citizen, though that might come in handy for a few troublemakers in our kingdom," Celestia said.

"Huh, guess I can't argue there. But are you honestly thinking about asking someone who is willing to, to have their age change to that of a foal?" Twilight asked.

"Well, yes, although, I can think of very few that would be wanting to do such a thing," Celestia said as she hung her head.

There was a silence for a bit before Twilight came and said randomly, "I think I'll do it."

This made Celestia's head shoot up in surprise. Had she just heard her student correctly. "I-I'm sorry, what was that Twilight?" She asked, wondering if she had just heard a voice in her head.

"I said that I'll be your foal. I mean, in all honesty, from the day I became your student, well, you've been like a second mother to me. Even my own mother thinks that you act like a mother to me, and she and my father actually are okay with that. I'm sure if I write them a letter about this, they'll understand and more then happily allow it. I mean it is only temporary right?" Twilight asked.

"Well I... Yes, yes it is, but do really feel that is wise to let your parents know," Celestia asked.

"I might be asking myself that if it hadn't been for that one time I came home and my mother had been worried sick since I hadn't let her know what happened in the Everfree forest that one time," Twilight said.

Celestia knew which event she was talking about and it made sense now of why she needed to do this. "I suppose it's better not to stop you then. But what about Spike?" Celesita asked, though she had a thought of what might happen once this spell she had in mind was cast.

"He'll be alright, my friends are looking after him for a bit while I am gone," Twilight said.

"Well, that is good to know," Celestia sighed in relief.

Twilight soon pulled out a parchment and quill she had brought with her and sent the letter off to her mother after she was done. The letter was answered faster then she thought it would have as her parents gave the okay, and even purposed to drop by to see their daughter in her foal from again. This had provided Celestia an idea. It was a bit unethical, but, she hoped her family would agree. When they reached the family she first talked to them in private about what she was planning to do, then they had revealed to her that Luna had read more on the spell, and that when it was cast, not only did it effect the mind of the pony in question, it basically altered all minds temporarily if the spell was only use temporarily. Only the one who cast the spell would be fully aware of everything that had happened before the spell. They all agreed to go with Celestia on what she had planned to do.

Now, she had told Twilight that her memories of her life would be stored away until further notice, and Twilight felt that was better, since it would probably make the whole experience feel odd if she had her adult mind in tact. After everypony agreed to what was about to happen, Celestia cast the spell after thoroughly reading the instructions. A bright light then engulfed the room as Celestia cast her series of spells needed for this.
