Princess Twilight Sparkle laid on the floor, quietly reading next to her fireplace before she heard a crash. Without even turning her head she spoke. “I just cleaned that bookshelf...” She sighed. “Are you okay Dash?”

Groaning, a cyan mare popped out from a pile of books that had fallen off of the bookshelf she had flown into. “Fine...” She said, trotting over to Twilight before laying down next to her, moaning quietly. After a few moments of her groan not being acknowledged she groaned again, this time louder.

Still muzzle deep in her book, the purple alicorn didn’t notice Dash’s continued groaning until she felt the pegasus lean onto her, putting most of her weight against her wing, hearing a loud groan in her ear. “Yes, Rainbow Dash?” She asked, setting her book down with a magical flash.

“Oh? What? It’s nothing. . .” Rainbow played it off. Just as she saw Twilight start to pick her book back up, she let out another groan.

“What?”

“What?” Dash mimicked.

Letting out an irritated sigh, Twilight used her magic to place her book on a nearby table. “Something is bothering you.”

“It’s nothing really. . . It shouldn’t be bothering me.” Rainbow said, releasing her breath, “It’s everything. I can’t seem to relax. . . I’ve been really tense lately, my wings have been sore and I just can’t sleep well, not even cloud napping is working!”

“Rainbow, why didn’t you just say so? I’m sure I have plenty of books that wou-”

“No!” Dash cut Twilight off. “I just want to spend some time with you.” She said, inching closer to the lavender mare beside her, snuggling into her side softly. “You know. . . quiet time.”

“Well. . . there is this one thing I’ve wanted to try doing with you. . .” The alicorn said with a small smile as she felt Dash lean into her. “But I need you to be relaxed for me to do the spell. So just lay still and let your eyes close.” She explained to the cyan mare, standing up and using one of her forehooves to gently massage between the wings of the pegasus.

Giving an involuntary moan at the sudden relaxing massage between her wings Dash let her eyes close as Twilight instructed. “You know how I feel about you experimenting on me, Twi.”

“Oh trust me, I’m not experimenting, I’ve thoroughly tested this spell, multiple times in fact. It has a ninety eight point three eight nine four three eight percent chance of success!” Twilight exclaimed happily, still rubbing her hoof between Dash’s wings. “Besides, after the last time when you were stuck as a stallion for a month. . . I wouldn’t dare do something that I didn’t know how to undo. It’s rather simple the way to undo this spell. All you have to do-”

Once Twilight started to explain how to undo the spell Dash tuned it out, letting her body begin to relax as the tension between her wings was worked out.

“-It’s rather simple really, I’ve been able to do that spell since I was a filly!” Twilight said before she noticed the quiet snoring of the pegasus she was massaging. “Dash. . . have you been listening to me at all?” She asked, gently poking the mare’s side.

“H-huh? What? Oh. . . yeah Twi, of course, I’ve been listening, totally. I was listening to that entire speech about magic. . . Totally listened to your explanation.”

“Good, then we can get started.” The lavender mare stopped rubbing between Dash’s wings and levitated a spell book over. “Let’s see. . . Although undoing this is easy, casting the spell in the first place is rather intensive.” She said, mumbling quietly to herself as she read.

“Uhm. . . Twi? What are you mumbling about age?” Rainbow asked, starting to get curious about the spell that her unofficial mare friend was about to cast.

Before answering Twilight lit up her horn and a lavender glow enveloped the cyan pegasus. “Oh, I’m just turning you into a filly. You’ll be about five years old in a few moments.” The alicorn explained. “Don’t worry though, you’ll retain all of your mind. You’ll just be the same pony you were physically when you were the age of four or five.”

“WHAT!?” The cyan mare exclaimed. “TWILIGHT WAI-” Suddenly there was a flash and everything went dark.
