Rainbow Dash fluttered into Fluttershy’s living room with a yawn. She looked over and saw Twilight fast asleep in her crib Rainbow Dash correctly assumed that she was the only one awake so she casually flew over to the kitchen to make some pancakes for everyone. The rustling in the kitchen caused twilight to wake with a groan.

“Rainbow?” She said groggily.

“Oh hey morning, you seem to be more yourself today,” Rainbow Dash said not quite sure of the word to use.

“I think it’s the sleep,” Twilight said resting her hoofs on the bars of her crib the top of which was at the height of her neck when she was standing on her hind legs. “I’ll probably be babbling again by lunch. Where did Fluttershy find a crib this big so fast anyway?”

“She bought it. You probably never thought about it, but baby pegasi need really tall cribs so they don’t fly off.”

“Makes sense I guess,” Twilight said falling back into her crib. “Do you think you could wake Fluttershy up? She told me not to leave so I can’t.”

“Uhh well she needs her sleep Twilight she was pretty tired last night,” Rainbow Dash said flying into the kitchen to resume her pancake making.

“It’s kind of an emergency,” Twilight said embarrassed. “I might have had an uhh accident sometime last night.”

“What do you mean?” Rainbow Dash said obliviously mixing pancake batter.

“You know an accident Rainbow.”

“I still don’t follow you.”

“Never mind,” Twilight said falling back into the crib and into her wet diaper. Fortunately for Twilight Fluttershy was also roused from her sleep by Rainbow's pancake making. Twilight looked to her eagerly when she entered the room.

“Morning everyone, did we all sleep well?” Fluttershy asked cheerily.

“I slept great,” Rainbow Dash said flipping a pancake.

“I did as well it’s surprisingly comfortable,” Twilight said from her crib.

“Good to see we’re both more ourselves this morning,” Fluttershy said.

“It’s the sleep I think. I can already feel it wearing off though.”

“Oh well it’ll be ok I’m sure our friends are very close to finding a counter spell.”

“Yeah sure, hey if you have a minute I uhh,” Twilight grew embarrassed. “I had an accident.”

“Oh that’s ok sweetie I’ll change you after breakfast ok.” Twilight sighed and sat back down pouting.

“Do you need some help rainbow?” Fluttershy asked.

“Nah I’m good,” Rainbow Dash said confidently. “You know I’m the best at making pancakes.” Fluutershy giggled slightly. Twilight rolled her eyes from her crib.

“Aww someone’s cranky,” Fluttershy said noticing the pouting alicorn. “I bet Mr. Bear would make you feel better,” Fluttershy said picking up the stuffed bear next to Twilight and began playing with it. Eventually Twilight couldn resist the temptation no longer and grabbed the bear to play with it. Fluttershy quickly stuck a pacifier in Twilight's mouth while she was distracted. While Twilight’s internal reaction was to spit it out she found she found suckling on it to be irresistible. Rainbow Dash walked over to Fluttershy and Twilight with a stack of pancakes. She was initially startled to see the purple alicron happily suckling away at her pacifier but she quickly got used to it.

“Who wants pancakes?” Rainbow Dash proclaimed happily.

“Doesn’t that sound yummy sweetie?” Fluttershy asked Twilight as she opened her crib and let her out. “Let’s get you in your highchair so you can eat.” Twilight followed Fluttershy into the kitchen where a large highchair was waiting. Fluttershy quickly strapped Twilight in and tied a bib around her neck before removing her pacifier.

"Where did you get that?" Rainbow dash asked confused but Fluttershy ignored her.

“Mama I can eat fine,” Twilight complained her infantile speech coming back.

“Don’t be silly pumpkin mama will take care of it for you.”

“No mama weawy I,” Twilight was interrupted when Fluttershy stuck a bite of pancake into her mouth. Rainbow Dash attempted to eat her pancakes normally but found herself transfixed on the spectacle of the alicorn princess being fed this. After several futile attempts to stop Fluttershy Twilight resigned to her fate of being fed and quietly accepted each bit as Fluttershy presented it to her.

“You’re such a good baby,” Fluttershy cooed after Twilight had eaten the last bite. Twilight gave a childish groan. “I bet you want your baba now huh.” Twilight didn’t answer the question. “Alright come on let’s get your baba,” Fluttershy said releasing Twilight from the highchair. Rainbow Dash continued to slowly eat her pancakes as Fluttershy went into the living room with a baby bottle Twilight following eagerly behind her. Rainbow Dash was interrupted from her breakfast by a call from the living room. “Rainbow could you get the door?” Fluttershy yelled. Rainbow hurriedly finished her breakfast and made her way through the living room to the door. On her way she passed Fluttershy who was bottle feeding Twilight on the couch. Twilight rested in Fluttershy’s lap happily drinking away at the bottle while Fluttershy hummed some tune. Rainbow opened the door and found Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie on the other side.

“How's it going?” Applejack asked

“Uhh you know,” Rainbow Dash answered vaguely. “Could be going better. Did you find the counter spell?”

“I looked high and low,” Pinkie Pie sang. “But I just couldn’t find anything.”

“Oh is that our friends,” Fluttershy said overhearing Pinkie Pie. “Do come in.” At her invitation the three ponies walked inside and were stunned at the sight of Fluttershy bottle feeding Twilight who fidgeted slightly as she saw her friends enter. “Come on Twilight finish up and then I’ll change you.”

“This seems like a bad time,” Rarity said trying to leave.

“Oh no it’s fine have a seat.” The three of them took up the couch opposite Fluttershy forcing Rainbow Dash to force herself awkwardly next to Twilight.

“I feel awkward,” Pinkie Pie exclaimed punctuating the silence.

“All done!” Twilight exclaimed as she drank the last of her bottle.

“Good job sweetie,” Fluttershy cooed. “Let’s go get you changed huh.” Fluttrershy left the room with Twilight skipping behind her.

“So you didn’t find anything?” Rainbow Dash asked after the pair had left the room.

“I’m afraid not,” Rarity replied seriously. “There aren’t any books in Twilights library that mention this kind of spell and the book Twilight was using didn’t have anything either.”

“Well that’s not good. What are we gonna do?”

“Well there has to be one somewhere,” Applejack answered. “I guess we’ll just keep looking.”

“Maybe it’s not in Twilight’s library.” Pinkie Pie said suddenly. The other three looked at her. “I mean I never seen the book she found this spell in, maybe she got it from somewhere else. That’s probably where the counter spell is.” Fluttershy came back from her bedroom with Twilight trailing behind sporting a pink dress.

“Sorry about the wait friends is there something you need?” Fluttershy asked as she sat on the couch. Twilight joined her and buried her head in Fluttershy’s hair.

“We were actually wanting to ask Twilight something,” Rarity stated.

“Oh well ok. Come on Twilight your friends want to ask you something.”

“No,” Twilight burying her head in fluttershy's hair.

“She’s a little shy.” Everyone else looked at each other awkwardly.

“Pinkie,” Applejack whispered. “Do you think you could get Twilight to talk?”

“What?” Pinkied quietly yelled. “Why me?”

“You’re just good at getting people to open up dear,” Rarity said. “And you’re so good with pumpkin and pound.”

“But those are babies, and this is Twilight. I had a party with her last week it’d be weird.”

“I reckon we don’t got much choice,” Applejack pleaded. Pinkie sighed briefly but her face lit up as she got into character.

“What’s wrong little filly are you shy?” Pinkie pie sang to Twilight. Twilight hugged Fluttershy tightly.

“Go on sweetie it’s all right,” Fluttershy encouraged scooting Twilight closer to Pinkie Pie. Twilight looked nervously around the room.
“Aww don’t be sad little one. Pinkie’s gonna turn that frown upside down.” Twilight looked at Pinkie Pie eagerly. Pinkie Pie made a series of funny faces until finally Twilight giggled. “There’s that smile. Now you remember that book you were reading earlier it was blue and little and spooky looking. do you remember?”

“Maybe,” Twilight said still shy.

“Well I wanna book just like it. Do you know where I could get one?” Twilight nodded yes. “Do you wanna tell me?” Pinkie cooed.

“I gots it in da fowest,” Twilight finally said. “In da big scawy castuh.”

“She must mean the castle of the two sisters!” Rarity exclaimed.

“Yeah there’s tons a books in there!” Applejack exclaimed “She must’ve gotten there.”

“There’s no telling where though the castle is huge, it'll take us days to find it if it's even in there."

“But that’s our best chance of finding it.”

“Don’t worry you got me!” Pinkie proudly proclaimed “I’m the best at finding things I’ll get that counter spell in no time.”

“I’ll go too,” Rainbow Dash interjected. “I don’t know how much more of these two I can take.” Rainbow gestured behind her to Twilight who threw her bear into the air and laughed as it fell back down on top of her.

“Yeah alright,” Applejack sighed. “I guess I’ll stay with them tonight.” Applejack gestured to Fluttershy and Twilight who had now begun to play some made up game with a ball.

“Oh you’re staying Applejack?” Fluttershy interrupted. “Wonderful Twilight could use a little friend to play with.”

“Yeah, sure Fluttershy." She turned around to find that her friends had quickly left the area. "We'll have fun," she said but she didn't believe herself.

Author's Note

Believe it or not i actually took a course on linguistics. the last test was on speech patterns and babies. While I don't remember the specific type of speech error Twilight has (I think it's called r dropping) I have been trying to make her speech somewhat realistic.
