Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Rainbow Dash fidgeted, while she was wrapped tightly in the swaddling bands by the saddle arabian mare.

Allegedly Rainbow Dash had came to Saddle Arabia to take part to a flight show organized for the anniversary of the Kingdom's indipendence from the minotaurs. However, the night before the show, she had stopped to a falafel place and, after eating some "special falafel on the house" made by the owner, she had fallen asleep, and woke up as a foal. Since then, everything was going downhill.

"What? I may be tiny now, but I'm not a foal!" Rainbow Dash complained, as she kept trying to avoid to get swaddled by the mare, who, in turn, said something in the local language while tried to pin Dash down to swaddle her up, but failing due to the fast movements ot Rainobw Dash on the table.

"Look, I don't know how it works here, but I'm still an adult! I'm just a little smaller!" Rainbow Dash said, still quickly zipping around on the table, but not quite managing to actually fly up and away to her freedom. The mare, still speaking in the language, turned her tone from one of sweetness to one of mild irritation, as she sped up and made an U-turn around the table.

Rainbow Dash quickly turned around again with the momentum she gained, before rushing away again. Her now-small wings felt sore, but she didn't care all that much, as she was sure that the mare was going to give up sooner than her.

The mare, frustrated, left the room. Rainbow Dash let out a sigh if relief, slumping on the table , feeling somewhat tired.

"Huff... got lucky there." She muttered, as she then laid down on her back "hopefully she'll stop trying to swaddle me up now."

As soon as she said that, the marereturned with a rather large butterfly net, moving it foward before dragging Rainbow Dash towards her. Caught by surprise, the pegasus started to flail around and flap her wings as hard as she could.

The mare wasted no time, pinning Rainbow Dash and quickly wrapping her in the ornate swaddling bands, tightening them around her body to the point of immobilizing the pegasus.

Rainbow Dash whined annoyed.

"This is so uncool." Rainbow Dash said "Nopony will believe me when I'll tell them this."

The mare, for her part, chuckled and lifted Rainbow Dash up in the air, saying something in the local toungue, before setting Ranbow Dash on her back, at which point she said a phrase that caught her attention.

"... Tahabban, Wondèrbolte Show..."

Rainbow Dash's heart stopped briefly.

"She's going to bring me to the Wonderbolts show in this state?" She said panicking, now whining more loudly and almost crying "my life is ruined!"
