Twilight casts an age spell onto Fluttershy for her studies. To only find out that she can't turn her back. Oh dear.

After talking Fluttershy into allowing Twilight to cast an age spell on her for her studies Twilight and Discord are left with a gurgling foal staring up at them.

The thing is... Twilight can't turn her back.

While Twilight is figuring out how to turn their dear friend back to normal Discord is left in charge of caring for the foal Fluttershy. What could possibly go wrong?

I Don't Want It!

I Don't Want It!

"Do I have to?" Discord groaned, his head resting on his claw as he floated through the air.

"Yes. Twilight said she needed my help with something and seeing as you're always complaining about how bored you are I thought it would be a lovely idea if you came to help out as well," replied Fluttershy, beaming as she looked up at the draconequus. Discord groaned again and stuck his tongue out at her.

Fluttershy giggled, "It might be fun! Twilight said she was going to bake some cookies to say thank you once we finish helping and you like cookies don't you?"

"Mm," he mumbled. He wanted to object but he had to admit the idea of cookies was rather tempting.

"Good. So it'll all be worth it in the end," she turned her attention back to the direction they were heading with a gentle smile still plastered on her face.

"Hi Fluttershy! Oh and Discord," Twilight greeted as she opened the castle doors and waved her hoof to gesture for them to come inside.

"Lovely to see you too Princess," Discord smirked as he took an exaggerated bow. Twilight rolled her eyes, closed the door and began to walk through the castles main entrance hallway toward the library. "This way if you please," she indicated.

"It's good to see you again Twilight. What is it you needed help with?" Fluttershy softly smiled as she followed her friend.

"Ah, well you see I've been working especially hard on perfecting a spell and I'm almost certain that I have! So I was wondering if you would possibly be willing to let me practise the spell on you?" she sped up the last part of the sentence as she grinned innocently at Fluttershy.

Fluttershy stopped in her tracks, her face had currently changed from her typical cheerful self to look as if she'd seen a ghost. "S-so... " She gulped as a bead of sweat trailed down from her forehead and her legs began to quiver, refusing to move.

"Now look what you did! You broke her," Discord huffed and patted Fluttershys head, ruffling up her mane.

Twilight stopped to turn around and face her friend. "It's really not that bad Fluttershy. Just one small spell, it won't take long at all." She sighed as she saw her words of reassurance had no effect. So she walked behind Fluttershy and nudged her gently on the back to get her moving forward again.

"C-couldn't you have maybe, um, of asked s-somepony else?" Fluttershy whimpered.

"Everypony already had plans for today. Besides, like I said it's really no big deal Fluttershy. It'll only take a second and I assure you nothing bad will happen."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive!"

Fluttershy felt some what assured. She could trust her friend, right? "Well... um... I guess maybe-"

"Here we are!" Twilight declared as she pushed open the door which led into the castles grand library. The ceiling stood high and rows of bookcases baring hundreds of books towered over them. A large oval table surrounded by maroon cushions centred in the middle of the room and the floor had books randomly scattered everywhere.

"Where's Spike?" asked Fluttershy as she looked around.

"Oh he's with Rarity, probably being used as a pin cushion again if I had to guess," Twilight replied as she moved books to clear a large enough space on the floor. "Come, sit here," she requested, aiming her hoof towards the spot she cleared.

Fluttershy looked at the space Twilight pointed... then at the door... back at the spot... then again at the door. She thought maybe it's not too late. Maybe she could quickly distract Twilight while she sneaked away. Maybe she could just bolt it out the door right now, not giving anyone a chance to say or do anything-

"Sit!" Twilight insisted, waving her hoof.

Fluttershy sighed and moped over to the where she was ordered. She gazed at where Discord was, he was leaning against the wall beside the library entrance. She did her best possible pout face towards him when Twilight had turned her head. But he wasn't paying any attention what so ever, he was more content fiddling with a slinky he'd created to notice her cries for help. She sighed again then turned her gaze to Twilight, who was currently collecting some pieces of paper together.

"Right!" Twilight finally said "You ready Fluttershy?"

"No."

"Alrighty." Twilight confidently adjusted her position and aimed her horn at the quivering and sweating pegasus.

Discord had now turned his attention onto the two, clearly intrigued where this one was going.

Twilights horn lit up with her pink aura as she shut her eyes tight. A ray of pink light emanated out and engulfed Fluttershy, who was currently on the verge of fainting,. Sparks flew out from the bubble and with a crashing flash of light, the room fell silent.

Twilight slowly opened her eyes and blinked to adjust her blurred vision.

"What did you do to her!" Screamed Discord, looking in disgust as he gazed at the floor where Fluttershy had been.

She looked down. There on the floor was Fluttershy, her eyes wide, full of happiness and looking up at Twilight. She had successfully cast the age spell and transformed Fluttershy into a foal. A large grin grew on Twilights face, "I did it! It worked!... I mean yeah I knew it would. But it did! It really worked." She jumped up and down frantically in circles as she made screeching noises in excitement.

"What is it?" Discord said with revulsion.

Twilight stopped just before she was about to jump into the air again, "Um, a foal? Discord are you telling me you've never seen a foal before?"

"Can't say I have. Ugly looking things aren't they?"

She turned her gaze back at the yellow foal who was crawling across the floor, heading towards a pile of books, "Are you kidding me? She's adorable!," Twilight cooed as her eyes grew wide and sparkled.

"All right, all right. Now turn her back."

Twilight stuck out her lower lip out so far that it looked like it was about to fall off, "Aww."

She stopped her pout soon after as she realised Discords dead pan face meant there's no way she's getting her own way. "Fine. Come here ickle one." She hunched over and aimed her horn at the foal. Her face full of concentration and determination as her horn glowed and again surrounded Fluttershy.

Then.

Nothing.

"Uh oh," Twilight whispered.

"What do you mean uh oh!?" Discord growled.

"Urm... I can't seem to turn her back," she admitted.

"Don't be silly Twilight. Surely a skilled Alicorn like yourself wouldn't cast a spell without being 100% sure that she can reverse it."

Twilight grunted, "I was sure I could undo the spell but for some reason nothing is working." She began selecting books from the shelves, scanned their contents then threw them undirected onto the floor.

"Twilight."

"Discord I'm trying to think, be quite!"

"But Twilight."

"I'm serious Discord."

"But Twi-"

"WHAT!?"

"She's trying to eat one of your books," Discord pointed his paw accusingly at Fluttershy.

"Wha-?" Twilight turned around to look at Discord, then down at Fluttershy who had her mouth wrapped tightly around the corner of a book. She sighed, "Could you just take it from her mouth, please?"

"Why me!?" Discord groaned.

"Could you just do it okay!"

"Fine, Miss demandy pants sparkle," sulked Discord, scowling at Twilight. Discord bent down cautiously to where the foal was contently nibbling away. He grabbed the other end of the book and with a slight yank he removed it from her grip.

"Eww it's coated in slobber," He complained, sticking out his tongue in disgust.

"Get a cloth and wipe it then," Twilight sneered.

"Eww it's drippi- IT TOUCHED ME!!" Discord screamed and started flailing the book around in a panic state, flinging the slobber in every direction.

"DISCORD STOP YOU'RE SPRAYING IT EVERYWHERE!" Twilight shouted as she tried to protect herself with her hooves.

"Eww eww eww," Discord continued.

"FOR CELESTIAS SAKE JUST PUT THE BOOK DOWN!."

Discord launched the book into the air and it landed square into Twilights face with a thump. "Oops... " The book slid off of Twilights muzzle and fell flat onto the stone floor as she let out an irritated grunt.

Suddenly both of their attentions were simultaneously drawn to Fluttershy. Her teal eyes were glaring up at them, slowly welling up with tears-

"Oh no you don't!" Discord held his breath.

Fluttershy began to sniff.

"No no no no no no no," Discord waved his paw and claw at her to try and refrain the forming tears.

She sniffed again, hiccuped and looked up at Discord. Then paused for a moment and just as Discord was about release a sigh of relief the foal burst into a flood of tears and wails.

"Now look what you did!" accused Discord.

Twilight facehooved.

"It's been twenty minutes and she still hasn't stopped crying!" Twilight groaned.

Discord was currently slamming his head against a wall repeatedly.

"Could you just take her somewhere!?" begged Twilight, feeling as if she was forming grey hairs. "I can hardly think over all of her screaming," she said as she desperately tried her best to cover her ears with her hooves.

"And what am I supposed to do with a foal!" Discord waved his paw in Fluttershy's direction.

"I don't know! Maybe she's hungry, or bored, or... or... I don't know just take her somewhere I can't hear her screaming so I can figure out how to change her back!"

"Hmpf... Fine!". Discord snapped his talons together and a pink, frilly stroller appeared out of thin air nearby.

He took a large gulp of air and held his breath tightly then with one eye firmly shut he reached his paw over to where Fluttershy was bawling out in tears. He winced as he grabbed her by her pink tail and swiftly picked her up, upside down, and kept her out at his arms length. Before his face was about to turn any more blue he turned around and dropped the foal head first into the stroller. Finally gasping for air, Discord was rather satisfied with himself.

Discord strolled down the pathway that lead through the main town. He was used to being glared at by judgemental ponies but this time he had more eyes on him than usual.
He pushed the pink floral patterned stroller rather contently, except for the fact there was a screaming foal almost drowning herself in tears. He was even almost humming a chirpy tune and had a small bounce in his step as he walked.

The ponies who stopped their daily lives and stared at the scene had their jaws dropped onto the floor in disbelief, rubbing their eyes multiple times to check if they weren't just hallucinating. Discord groaned at them, "Haven't you ponies ever seen a crying foal before!?... Yeesh the nerve of some people."

"Here we are," Discord declared to the crying Fluttershy as he slammed the cottage door open with his goat leg and started walking backwards with the stroller in front of him.

"Ooff," Discord was jolted slightly forward. He turned his head to the front.

The stroller didn't fit through the small door.

"Hmm," thought Discord.

He slammed the stroller at the door frame, as if it would just magically fit through.

Nothing. The stroller remained outside

He tried again but this time he slammed harder. The foal flung about two hoofs into the air from the force but landed back safely into the stroller. At this point Fluttershy had stopped crying and had a rather confused expression on her face. Discord gave an unimpressed look at the stroller and persisted again, ramming twice as hard as before, making Fluttershy fly higher into the air. Her expression turning into a light grin.

With still no avail Discord was not ready to give up. He scrunched his face, clenched his teeth together and with determination he tightened his claw and paw around the handle bar of the stroller. Then with one puff of air he yanked the stroller towards him with all the force he could possibly manage.

Discord was unexpectedly completely blown backwards and crashed into a tall bookcase which made a majority of the books topple off onto his head. He let out a grunt and rubbed his sore head with his lion paw, "That went well," he moaned. Discord looked down at his claw to see he had the strollers handle bar in his grip. He then averted his gaze upwards in the direction of the front door. There he saw the stroller stubbornly standing outside as if it mocked him.
Seconds later a yellow foal floated down from the sky, using her small wings to descend softly, and landed with a quiet thud into the stroller with the most satisfied smile planted on her face.

Discord paced back and forth in the kitchen, staring down at the foal in the high chair as if she was a criminal. Ungracefully, Discord opened Fluttershy's mouth, and seeing that she had no teeth, frowned.

"Hm... no teeth. Now, how will you eat?" Discord asked to himself. "What is it that ponies do when all of their teeth fall out? Oh yes, that's it!" Discord said as she snapped his fingers. Suddenly, a pair of small dentures popped into Discord's hand.

As Discord attempted to stuff the fake teeth into Fluttershy's mouth, he started rambling to himself. " You ponies are all ridicules! I mean, you make these... miniature yous without any teeth! Why do you doom them to such a fate? And they say I'm cruel..." Discord mumbled to himself, as he finally got the teeth into the fillies mouth. She immanently grimaced, and spit the teeth out.

" Oh come ON! Please Fluttershy, I'm trying to help you! The least you could do is let me!" Discord wined.

Suddenly, a box popped into existence besides him. " Oh, what's this?" Discord floated over towards the box. Opening the box, Discord saw that it held six cans of baby food, some sort of pants, baby powder and a letter. It read;

Discord, I forgot to give you this before you left. Here is all you'll need to take care of Fluttershy. Make sure to change the nappy on Fluttershy, don't forget to put baby powder in the nappy before you put it on her as well.

- Twilight.

Discord, being Discord, ignored most of the letter, only reading enough to know what everything in the box was. He didn't need Twilight, he is the spirit of chaos, former ruler of Equestria, and master of charades, he could take care of Foal version of Fluttershy... a Foalershy. The newly dubbed Foalershy seamed to be growing impatient. She banged her hooves on the counter, and started to tear up.

"Oh, hold your horses!... Horses, hehe, I need to use that one more often."Discord laughed to himself, as he walked over to Fluttershy with a can of baby food and a spoon in hand. Discord bent down, opened the food for her, and plopped the can in front of her. She immanently started to cry.

"Oh no no no! PLEASE don't do that again! Do you want me to do it? Fine!" Almost franticly, Discord picked up the baby food, and scooped out a spoonful, and brought it up to her mouth. Fluttershy stopped crying, sniffed the food... and turned her head away in disgust.

"OH, for the love of- You know what? Fine, I'll show you Foalershy this food is fine!" Discord said, as he stuffed the spoonful of baby food into his mouth. His face quickly turned green, as he spit the vile tasting slime out of his mouth. Fluttershy clapped her hooves in delight. "...Touché. But, this can easily be fixed." Discord said as he puffed up sugar, honey, ginger, and some kind of pinkish slime, and mixed it all into the baby food.

"There we go! Now, eat it." Discord said, clearly frustrated. Fluttershy once again gave the food a sniff test, but, luckily for Discord, the food passed. Discord let out a sigh of relief, as Fluttershy ate the food. This went on until the can was empty.

"Ha, take that, Twilight!, Discord said while he did a small jig of victory. " This is going to be easy as-" Discord paused as a foul odour hit him. Turning around, he saw what was causing the smell, "Oh great."

"Hmm," Discord thought to himself intently. He had one of the nappies Twilight had sent him in his paw, looking at it as if it was the most complicated puzzle known to Equestria. Fluttershy lay on her back on top of the kitchen table as she looked up at Discord, sucking on her hoof gratified. "How ponies manage to do this I have no idea." With a snap of his talons a pair of pale blue glasses appeared on the bridge of his nose as he inspected the contraption further. He flipped it back and forth and played with the sticky tabs then looked back down at the foal with a raised eyebrow.

"Right," he finally said "I think I can do this. Getting her here was easy-" He gave a quick glare at the stroller still outside the front door "-Feeding her was easy. So clearly this will be easy." He didn't seem so convinced.

"Now what was it Twilight nagged about? Ah yes, put powder on this thing first." He abandoned Fluttershy on the table to rummage through the box of supplies Twilight delivered.

"What on earth's this!?" He grimaced and threw the dummy behind his back and continued searching.

"Ah! Here it is," he announced, lifting a bottle of powder out of the box. He picked himself up off of the floor and headed towards were he'd left Fluttershy.

She was gone.

"What in the-Where'd you go?" He spun in a circle looking up and down in hopes of spotting her. But she was no where in site. "Oh just great!" He muttered.

"Here Fluttershy, come here girl. Come to Discord," He cooed as he made kissing noises with his mouth, getting onto all fours and scouting the floors.

After a few gruelling minutes of searching the draconequus was about to admit defeat to his opponent and slumped his body onto the floor. He dragged his lion paw over his face to express his frustration. Then suddenly he heard a giggle echo from the front room. A sly smile appeared on his face as he lifted himself back up off the ground and edged towards the kitchen door that led into the front room. He peeped his head slowly around the door arch to see if he could spot the foal before she spotted him, but nothing. He made an irritated noise in the back of his throat.

Then he had an idea.

Discord picked up a laundry basket and a twig which he had tied with string. He was setting a trap. He lay the basket upside down in the centre of the room, propped up on one side with the twig, then trailed the string along the floor into the kitchen. Next he snapped his fingers and made gummy bears... no, gummy Discords, appear in his claw. He made a small trail of the gummys that lead to the basket then placed the rest into a pile underneath the trap. Then he hid back in the kitchen, holding onto the string, waiting for his prey to take the bait.

It didn't take long for a small head to pop out from underneath a chair in the front room and notice the treats. She scanned her territory and once she saw no threat she crawled over to the trail, dribble running down her chin. She sniffed the first gummy and with a expression of satisfaction she immediately shoved it into her toothless mouth. Then she moved onto the next one, then the next, then the next, until she was completely under the basket and face to face with the pile of gummy Discords.

With his prey in position Discord snapped the string towards him, making the basket capture the foal. Then leapt out from his hiding place and pounced on top of the basket. "Ha! Gotcha!" He shouted with glee, staring down at his capture who wasn't fazed the slightest and continued scoffing gummy treats.

Discord removed himself from on top of the laundry basket and swiftly picked it up with his claw while grabbing Fluttershy with his free paw before she had a chance to protest. Once he stood up he held the foal out at arms length. "Sneaky little devil aren't you?" He grinned. Fluttershy, still unaware of the situation as well as what the draconequus was saying to her, smiled from ear to ear presenting a row of gummy Discord teeth and a waterfall of dribble.

"So that goes there... no that's not right. Ah no like this!" Discord thought out loud as he wrapped the fresh diaper around the foal. He had a peg firmly placed over his nose as he almost confidently completed his mission, wiping beads of sweat off of his forehead as he continued.

"Right. Now I get the powder annnnnd-" He was just about to pat the bottom of the bottle onto the base of the nappy as Fluttershy kicked her hoof into the air and launched the powder into Discords chest. His face was now coated in the pure white powder. He grumbled as the dust settled. Fluttershy coughed lightly as she inhaled some of the powder then her scrunched face turned into a large grin as she saw the mess she'd made on the face that looked down on her.

Discord chose to ignore the smirk he was being given and that his face was as white as snow and continued on with applying the nappy to the foal.

After multiple attempts and a small pile of scrunched nappies lay on the kitchen floor Discord had accomplished it. He couldn't help but smile at his handwork and picked Fluttershy up by her middle and beamed at her. She couldn't help but giggle at the sudden happiness from her creature.

The foals gaze at Discord started to flicker as her eyes began to feel heavy and she let out a small yawn. Discord noticing her tired motions held her against his chest and looked down at her. "Tired from all that excitement now are we?" His reply was her snuggling against his fur.

Discord also yawned himself. "That makes two of us" He said as snapped his talons to clean his face and headed into the front room.

He curled himself into a nest on the rug that lay in front of the empty fireplace and placed Fluttershy beside him. They both yawned in unison as there eyes flickered and they fidgeted to get comfortable.

Fluttershy reached her tiny hoof out towards Discord, grabbed his lion paw thumb and stuffed it into her mouth.

"YOUCH!" Discord screeched as he was awoken from his nap rudely. He looked down in frustration to see Fluttershy yanking hard on his beard. Her innocent face suddenly turned to sadness from the sudden angry outburst and tears began to fill her teal eyes as she let go of the beard.

"No! Please don't start that up again!" Discord groaned, getting up and rubbing at his sore chin.

To his surprise she did. She then fell onto all four hooves and wandered over towards a lone bunny that was sleeping on the other side of the room, likely with intents to torment it.

There was a loud knocking at the door.

"Yes, yes I'm coming," moaned Discord as he patted at the pink apron he was wearing to remove some creases.

"Oh hello Twilight," he said casually once he opened the door to the cottage, dabbing a milk filled bottle onto his wrist to check it's temperature.

"Is she here!? Is she ok!?-" Twilight fretted as she pushed past Discord and entered "-Did you remember to feed her!? Did-"

"You have such faith in me Twilight," Discord cut her off "The abomination is fine."

"Where is she then!?"

"She's currently braiding my tail," he pointed to Fluttershy who was sat on the edge of his tail, braiding the white tuft at the end.

Ignoring the strangeness of the situation, "I'm pretty confident that I can turn her back to her normal self now. Sorry for the wait but I had to make sure."

"Finally! You have no idea what I have had to put up with these past few hours. She moans more than you do and I thought that was utterly impossible!" Discord threw his arms in the air with despair. Twilight made an irritated noise at the back of her throat.

Discord picked Fluttershy up off of his tail, who made a disappointed sound, and placed her in front of Twilight.

Twilight adjusted her stance and yet again aimed her horn at Fluttershy and surrounded her small body with her aura. Suddenly with a pop and a flash which temporarily blinded them, the two opened their eyes to see if the spell had worked. A large smile grew on Twilights face as to her relief it did. There in the middle of the floor sat Fluttershy, back to her normal age.

"Ow my head hurts," mumbled Fluttershy, rubbing her temples with her hooves.

"Oh thank goodness! Your back!" cried Discord briefly picking her up into a hug before setting her back onto the floor again. "When's dinner I'm starving?"

"What in Equestria happened? I had the weirdest dream, you'll never believe it."

Twilight laughed awkwardly, "Um yeah, well it's nothing to worry about."

"Why am I so sticky-" Fluttershy reached up to her mane and pulled out a gummy Discord "-Um what?"

Twilight again laughed awkwardly.

"Ah anyway. I've been meaning to ask you a question for once you got turned back to your normal self Fluttershy," Discord leaned down beside Fluttershy so she could hear him clearly.

"Yes?"

"Where do foals come from?"
