An unlikely coupleby darkmage1997ChaptersChapter 1: Canterlot Caslte (Rewrite)Chapter 2: They're In Love! (Rewrite)Chapter 3: Confirmed suspicions?Chapter 4: Spill the beansChapter 5: Finding AnswersAnnouncmentChapter 1: Canterlot Caslte (Rewrite)Canterlot Station: 3 Years after the George Cunningham incident, The train had pulled into the station to let off passengers. Among these were the children of harmony from Ponyville, including, Heaven, "Ok, now lets get the castle," Toby said, as the children all followed him to the castle. "So, why are we here again?" Heaven asked. "Celestia and Luna are looking after us while our parents are on vacation," Nyx explained, as giant captions appeared in front of her, saying "Important Plot Point". "Are you sure they can handle us? I mean, there's like," Silver Spoon said, counting the others up, "A bunch of us," she commented. "You're worrying too much Silver Spoon," Diamond Tiara. "And besides, they said they could teach us about our new alicorn powers," Twist said, as captions came up, saying "More Important information". "I'm wearing red socks," Mike commented. Captions came up, saying "Not important". "If you drop Mentos into Coke, you make a little volcano!" Sweetie Belle commented, as captions came up, saying "Not important, but interesting", as they continued towards the castle. Once they were at the castle, the guards opened the doors, "Distinguished guests, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have been awaiting your arrival. Please, enjoy your stay," they said, as the group walked in. Once in the foyer, they saw the two sisters, standing at the top of the stairs. "Welcome children," Celestia said, as she approached them. "We've been expecting you," Luna said. "Its great to be here Auntie Celestia and Auntie Luna," Toby said. "Though, I'm surprised Nathan and his siblings aren't here yet," Kelly commented, not seeing the toughest boy among the friends. "Actually, he, along with Skyla, Guard Armor, and Flurry Heart arrived about two hours ago," Luna replied. "Mavis was called to the Monster Kingdom to speak with the Queen regarding some matter," Celestia asked. "Hope nothing's wrong," Toby commented. "I'm sure everything is alright. But before you go and enjoy what the city and castle has to offer, we'll show you to your rooms," Celestia said, as she led the boys to the west wing and Luna took the girls to the east wing. "And here is your room Toby," Celestia said, as she finished showing the boys their rooms. "Thank you Auntie Celestia," Toby said, as he entered the room. Once Toby was inside the room, Celestia left her nephew to unpack. Just then, Celestia remembered something. "Oh boys, just one more thing before you go and enjoy yourselves in Canterlot," Celestia called to the boys, "If you need anything, I will be in the throne room," Celestia got a round of "Oks" from the boys, as she departed the west wing. "Have you guys noticed how much our girlfriends are, uh.... 'filling out', over these past few years?" Josh asked. "Yeah, but I'm not complaining," Toby replied, thinking about Silver Spoon. The other boys also thought of their girlfriends as well. "Hey Nathan, Celestia and Luna told us that Mavis went to the Monster Kingdom for something, right?" Conner asked. "Yeah. Though, if Ah'm bein' honest, it may have somethin' ta do with why Mavis has been acting so..... aggressively lately," Nathan replied. "She's been acting up?" Mike asked, a tone of surprise in his words. They all knew Mavis was not the kind of girl to act up. "Not really. But she's been acting really distant these past few days. When Ah go to check on her, she always tells me ta get out. Ah don't know if Ah made her angry or somethin'," Nathan explained. In the Monster Kingdom, Mavis was being escorted by a lamia maid, through the halls of her grandmother's castle. Her outfit consisted of a rather small bikini bra, that struggled to hold her massive bust, and a loin cloth that only covered the front of her panties. Her family had tried to find her some clothes that could fit over her massive curves, which, thanks to being made a Nymph, rapidly grew over the past few years, but they were unable to find any that could fit her. So, she received some clothes from the Southern Grotto Nymphs. At first, she was embarrassed about the outfit, but eventually got used to it. As for her being in the Monster Kingdom, the past few days, she's been feeling really warm, and wasn't hesitant to snap at her siblings, "Hopefully, grand-mere can help me out," Mavis said to herself, as they arrived at the throne room. "Your majesty, I bring before you, your granddaughter, Mavis Gustou," the lamia said, as they entered the throne room. "Ah good, thank you. You may take your leave now," the Queen said. With a bow, the maid exited the throne room. Once she was gone, the Queen turned to Mavis, "Mavis, do you know why I summoned you here?" she asked. "Non, grand-mere," Mavis replied. "Well, let me explain," the Queen said, as she went into details. Back in Canterlot, After both sisters showed the children to their respective rooms, they decided to resume their day with their regular princess duties, "Oh, this is so boring!" Luna whined. "Be strong Luna, it'll only take probably an hour or two," Celestia replied, as the walked in. However, as soon as they did, the two sisters were met with a certain Draconequss, "Discord, what're you doing here? I thought you were on vacation," she said to the Master of Chaos. "I was, but I came to give little Heaven her Teddy Bear and Cadence and Shining Armor asked me to give Mavis and Skyla their stuffed animals as well," Discord said, opening a trunk, containing all manner of stuffed animals. "Well, that's very courteous of you to do, but I feel there's something else," Celestia said, somewhat suspicious of Discord's antics. Discord appeared downright hurt at the white alicorns words. "Why Celestia, you don't trust me?" Discord asked, deflating like a balloon. Celestia gave him a stern look. Discord then used a bike pump to pump himself back up, "Oh, alright. I came by because I need to talk to you about something," he explained. "And what would that be then?" Luna asked. "Its concerning the Harmony Force inside each of the children," Discord said, his tone become quite serious. Outside in the corridor leading to the throne room, Toby and Silver Spoon were talking about his time in prison, "Oh Toby, I hope those awful inmates never hurt you," Silver Spoon cooed. Toby blushed at his fillyfriends concern, "They didn't hurt me too terrible. Sure the moment I got there, they were going to throw me in a trash compactor, but Trixie was there to bail me out. Unfortunately, because of that mole that George gave me, she was convinced that I was George," Toby explained. "Oh you poor boy," Silver Spoon cooed, pulling Toby into a warm embrace. Just then, they saw Discord in the throne room with Celestia and Luna, "What's going on here?" Silver Spoon wondered. "I don't know. Lets lay low," Toby said, as they ducked behind a pillar. "Are you serious?!" Celestia exclaimed. "I can't say for certain, but it appears their magic is growing stronger everyday. It may even be possible that they'll be in the same league as your mother," Discord explained. "I didn't think anything would be as strong as Mother," Luna commented in complete shock. "Yes, I know, but if their friendship continues to grow stronger, then they may be in the same league as Empress Faust," Discord explained, as he pulled out a pocket watch, "Oh, look at the time, I've got to get back for the limbo contest. But here, for you," Discord said, giving Celestia a bouquet of flowers, before teleporting away. Toby and Silver Spoon then noticed a faint blush on Celestia's cheeks, "What do you think all that meant?" Toby asked. "I don't know, but maybe its possible that Celestia has a thing for Discord," Silver Spoon theorized. An awkward silence befell the two. "Think we should tell the others and ask them for their opinion on the matter?" Toby asked. "Well, it would be a good idea. Maybe they can give us some sort of ideas," Silver Spoon replied, as they left to find the others. As they did, portal opened up in the throne room, and Mavis stepped out with her suitcase. "Ah, Mavis, I take it your trip to the Monster Kingdom went well?" Celestia asked. "Oui. She explained everything about a coming of age ritual that is a tradition in several monster cultures," Mavis replied. "So, how does it work?" Luna asked. Mavis blushed, and went into details. Author's Note Here are the ages for each of the kids: Toby, Nathan, Josh, Mike, Conner, Kelly, Crystal, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Twist, Dinky, Bolt, Diamond Tiara: 16-17 years old Nyx, Silver Spoon: 18 years old Mavis: 14 years old Melody, Clover, and Heaven: 9 years old The Beings of Harmony: 5 years old (their physical forms haven't changed over the years) Chapter 2: They're In Love! (Rewrite)After seeing what the had witnessed in the throne room, Toby and Silver Spoon were now trying to find the others to see if they could get their thoughts on the matter. All the while, the two of them couldn't help but think back to when George Cunningham had escaped, and all the trouble he had caused, what with Toby being sent to prison, being bullied by the other prisoners, and being the object of affection of Shadow Mavis. He wondered if George was Shadow Mavis' boyfriend, then does Mavis have a thing for him. He shook his head, clearing his mind of that thought, "Toby? Is something wrong?" Silver Spoon asked. "No, I was just thinking back to what happened when George swapped places with me," Toby replied. "Ugh, don't remind me! I can't believe that guy was able to fool me into thinking he was you!" Silver Spoon said, hugging Toby, who blushed at the sheer size of his girlfriends bust. Ever since she got turned into an Alicorn, Toby noticed that Silver Spoon was getting much curvier over a few weeks. Silver Spoon then noticed the blush on Toby's face, and had a seductive smirk on her face, "What's wrong? Are my big boobies nice and soft?" she teased. "Oh yeah, really big," Toby said, sounding like he was in a trance. "Oopsie!" Silver Spoon said, releasing her boyfriend from the hug, "Sorry Sweetie Pie. I guess all those tips I got from the Nymphs work a little too well," she commented. Thanks to her urging, Toby was able to gain girlfriends in Dana, Marina, Sky, and Polly, who admittedly, all had a thing for the guy as well since he looked like an ancient Pharaoh they all went out with. "Yeah, maybe a bit too well," Toby agreed, coming to his senses. "But for now, we should try and find the others. They may know something," Silver Spoon said, as they headed to the entrance of the castle. "Alright guys, be sure to be back by 4:30 this evening," Chris said, as he saw the kids off. The youngers kids still went with some of the older kids. As they left, Toby and Silver Spoon arrived at the entrance, "I was wondering where you two were," Chris commented. "We got a little sidetracked by something," Silver Spoon replied. "Oh? What might that be?" Chris asked. The couple then proceeded to explain everything to Chris, "Hmm. Well, Mom hasn't said anything about trying to find a boyfriend. I doubt she even likes Discord like that," Chris replied. "Well, it's still worth looking into," Toby commented, as he and Silver Spoon went out into the city. Chris then retreated back into the castle. In another part of Canterlot, Mavis was walking around the mall, eyeing some of the stores. She wanted to do some clothes shopping, but couldn't. Her reason? Because she became a Nymph back when she was 4, she now had a body that most girls would give an arm and a leg for. He bust was so large, that she could only wear a bikini top that hardly covered her boobs. Some would speculate that she was at least U-Cup. Her hips were similar in this fashion, as they were twice as wide as her head. The only thing that could fit over them was a loin cloth she got from the Southern Nymph Grotto when she began to mature physically. Her family had tried to help her find more modest clothing, but the problem was that they were so tight on her, she could barely breathe. So she was stuck in her current fashion. She was embarrassed about her outfit at first, but over time, she got used to it. While she still got cat called by humans, ponies, and monsters alike, she remained true to her crush; Toby. "I really wanted to find something nice to wear for Toby, but I guess having big boobies and a big tushy are the price I have to pay for wanting to have a nice figure," she muttered to herself. She then saw something in the toy store window that caught her eye. It was a massive Teddy Bear about her height. It had a top hat, and a fancy bowtie. There were also some duck plushies about the same size too, "*GASP* How cute!" Mavis exclaimed, pressing her body up against the window. She then went inside the store, and bought one of each. She may be a teenager now, but she was still a child on the inside, "Now, let's send you both back to mon room," Mavis said, opening a portal to her room. She placed both of her giant sized toys by her bed. "Mavis?" Mavis blushed when she heard her crush's voice call out to her. She turned to see both Toby and Silver Spoon, standing before her. Because she was part ogre and minotaur, Mavis was at least 8 to 9 feet tall, making her the tallest among her human friends, even more so that Chris and Cory. This, however, meant her boobs, which where about as big as large bean bag chairs, were also in her friend's faces much to her embarrassment, and the envy of her girl friends, both human and monster alike. "U-uh, bonjour Toby, Silver Spoon," Mavis stammered, trying to keep herself composed, being this close to the object of her affection, feeling a burning desire deep within her. "We heard from Nathan that you went to the Monster Kingdom to speak with your grandmother about something. If everything alright?" Silver Spoon asked. "Sort of. There's a rite of passage that various monster species must go through in order to be considered an adult once they reach the age of 15," Mavis replied. "And your birthday is in a few days, right?" Toby asked. Mavis nearly lost her composure at the thought that Toby remembered her birthday. "O-oui," Mavis replied. She could feel her body temperature flaring up, just by being near Toby. Silver Spoon took note of how Mavis was acting around Toby, and thought about what he had told her about what happened between him and Mavis' darker half, and was immediately able to put two and two together. She then had an idea. "Toby, could you go on ahead? There's something I'd like to discuss with Mavis, you know, girl to girl?" Silver Spoon requested. "Oh, ok," Toby shrugged, as he took off on his own. Mavis looked saddened watching Toby walk away. "Mavis, do you.... want Toby?" Silver Spoon asked. Mavis' entire body went bright red. "W-What do you mean?!" the Omni-Monster teen exclaimed. "Hmm, I saw the way you were all fidgety around Toby. And what you said about your rite of passage is similar to when us ponies can be considered adults. Once we turn 15, we're legally considered adults, and as such can engage in various activities like...." Silver Spoon then whispered into Mavis' ear, causing the French girl to blush even harder, to the point that steam billowed out from her ears. "Did you really do those things with Toby?!" Mavis exclaimed. "Hmm, I won't go into details. We're talking about you," Silver Spoon said. "Well, most Beastmen go through the rite when they reach 15 years of age. The same goes for Succubi and succubi subspecies'," Mavis replied. "And you're all of them combined, right?" Silver Spoon asked. "Oui. This means that my Heat will be far more intense then anyone of mon friends from the Monster Kingdom," Mavis replied, fidgeting slightly. "Hmm, then maybe we could set up a date for you and Toby in the Monster Kingdom sometime this week. We can even ask the Nymphs to help out!" Silver Spoon suggested. "You would really help me?" Mavis asked. "Of course! I love Toby, you love Toby. We can try and make things click between you two," Silver Spoon replied, as she and Mavis devised a plan. Chapter 3: Confirmed suspicions?It was about 1 o' clock when all of the children arrived back at the castle, and when they entered, they all looked at Toby and Silver Spoon, "Ok guys, what's this about Celestia and Discord?" Kelly asked, quirking an eyebrow. Toby then explained to them what he and Silver Spoon had seen. "So, we were asking you guys for what you thought of the matter," Toby said. "They're in love!" Heaven and Mavis sang teasingly. "Mavis, I said that would get old really fast," Nathan said. "And I don't want you starting that either, Heaven," Heiru added. The two girls puffed up their cheeks in a pout. "Well, we'd love to stay and chat, but we need to get to our lessons with the two of them. So we'll drop off what we got, and head down into the courtyard," Silver Spoon said, as she and the other new alicorns took their stuff up to their rooms. "Well, I guess while they're doing that, I'll head to the library, see if I can't find anything to read," Toby said, as he went to the library. "I'll come with you. I need something to do as well," Joshua said, as he, Raiden, Kelly, Crystal, Nyx and Trinity followed Toby. "I got some comics that I'll be reading, so I'll be in my room if you need me," Icezer said, as he left for his room. And one by one, each of the children left to do their own thing, leaving Heaven, Mavis, and Serenity all alone. "So, what do we do?" Mavis asked. "Want to go braid each others hair?" Heaven suggested. "O-ok," Serenity replied quietly, as the three of them left for their rooms. In the courtyard, "Alright girls, our first lesson will be learning to fly. First, of course, you must open your wings. Once you've done that, you need to flap them until you can be lifted off of the ground," Celestia instructed, as she opened her wings, and began to fly. Each of the fillies then copied the white alicorn. Some were able to get a few inches off the ground, while others were unable to get off the ground. "This may take some practice," Silver Spoon commented, as she kept trying to lift off of the ground. "Well, it'll get easier as you try. I mean, just look at Scootaloo. She was already a Pegasus before becoming an alicorn, and she can fly around like little rocket," Luna said, motioning to the orange alicorn, as she effortlessly flew around the gardens. "We'll try to get you girls flying before your parents come back to pick you up. But for now, why don't we take a break from flying, and move on to magic?" Celestia suggested. "Good idea. I'm starting to get sore," Silver Spoon said, gripping her shoulder. "Yeah, those wing exercises are murder on the shoulders," Applebloom added, rubbing her shoulders. "Well, lets go back inside. It'll be easier for us to focus on magic lessons indoors," Celestia said. But as she entered the door, a bucket of water fell on top of her head. Coughing, she removed the bucket, with an annoyed expression on her face. No sooner then she did remove the bucket, Discord appeared in front of her, laughing up a storm. "Oh, you should've seen the look on your face, Celestia. Priceless!" Discord cackled. "What brings you this time, Discord?" Celestia asked, still annoyed at the Draconequss' antics. "Well, Twilight had asked me to give you these books. She says they may help in their training," Discord replied, giving a stack of books to Celestia, who gingerly took them. "Thank you Discord. But why the bucket?" Celestia asked, still annoyed. "Well, I thought it would be a good way to make you smile," Discord said, before teleporting away. Celestia set the books down on a nearby desk. However, she didn't notice mischievous looks on each of the fillies, as well as her sister, who were all thinking the same thing. 'THEY'RE IN LOVE!' they all thought, trying to keep in their laughter. At the Resort where Twilight and friends were staying, a limbo contest was underway, "C'mon, how low can you go?" Rainbow Dash chanted, as Applejack, Ashley, and Rarity all bent over backwards, trying to keep from touching the bar, while the others were either swimming in the pool, eating some tropical fruit, or just lounging in the sun chairs. "It sure was nice of Celestia to watch the kids while we were on vacation," Twilight commented. "It sure was. And she was even kind enough to teach my little muffin how to fly since she has wings now," Ditzy Doo said, as she ate some papaya. "She was already using magic before becoming an alicorn, right?" Sarah asked. "Oh of course. Her sister was able to teach her how to use magic, even before meeting that nice young man of yours," Ditzy said. "I did raise him to be respectful of others," Sarah replied. "I'm just glad Diamond Tiara now has more friends to hang out with," Filthy Rich commented. "Yeah, Toby did say that he never had any friends back in the human world. I'm so happy that he now has a large group of friends, as well as a beautiful girlfriend," Ashley commented. "Yeah. Speaking of Silver Spoon, where are her parents?" Twilight asked, not seeing the filly in question's parents. "Silver Smith told me that he wanted to go to Germaney for some reason. He never gave me the details," Filthy Rich replied. "But Germaney is on the other side of Equestria. Why would he go there?" Twilight pondered. "Limbo Contest!" a pony announced. "Well, lets not worry about it now," Ashley said, as she got in line for another limbo contest. Back in Canterlot, Things were getting hectic for Celestia over the course of the next two days. After the tutoring session for the fillies, she had multiple buckets of water dumped on her head as she walked through doors, slipped on banana peels, or sat on a whoopee cushion, all the while, Discord appeared out of the blue, laughing his head off, half the time, literally. She then became paranoid, as she made sure not to do anything without checking first for any whoopee cushions or buckets. One thing she couldn't understand was why each of the children giggled whenever she passed them, 'Is there some kind of joke I was not told of? If so, then it lacks in taste,' she thought to herself, as she trudged through the halls. Eventually, she came across Chris, "Oh, Chris!" Celestia called. Turning to his mother, Chris smiled, "Hey Mom, what do you need?" he asked. "Do you know if there's any kind of inside joke among Toby and the others?" Celestia asked. "Well, I haven't actually talked to them since they arrived. But if I see any of them again, I'll be sure to ask them," Chris said. "Ok, thank you," Celestia said, as she made her way back to her bedroom. Before entering, she used her magic to check for any booby traps. After she saw there were no pranks, she carefully tip-toed into her bedroom, expecting some kind of trap. She used her magic to scan for some sort of trap. When she found none, she leisurely laid down on her bed with a relaxed sigh. After meeting up with his mom, Chris took off to find on of his friends, and see if he can't get an explanation. As he continued to walk, he pondered what was troubling his mother. Eventually he ran into Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara, "Hey girls, can answer something for me?" he called to the two. "Well, that depends. What do you need?" Diamond Tiara asked. "Mom thinks there's some sort of inside joke among you guys. What gives?" Chris asked. Taking a moment to process Chris' question, the two fillies giggled, "What? Did I say something funny?" Chris demanded. Silver Spoon then explained everything, "Seriously?" Chris asked. "That's what Toby and I saw," Silver Spoon replied. "Well, it sounds a bit unorthodox. I mean, Mom never showed any romantic interest in Discord, at least not as far as I know," Chris said. "Well, it is something to look into," Diamond Tiara said, as she and Silver Spoon left, leaving Chris to think about what they had just told him. 'Mom doesn't have romantic interests in Discord, does she?' Chris thought to himself, as he went to ask the others for answers. Chapter 4: Spill the beansAfter speaking with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Chris ventured off into the castle to see what his friends know, 'Maybe Toby knows something?' Chris thought to himself, as he made his way to the library. Upon entering the library, Chris saw Toby reading a couple books at a nearby desk. He recognized some of the books by their titles, such as "The beginners guide to Magic", or "The Unabridged History of Magic", and other books. "Hey, Toby!" Chris called quietly, as not to disturb any other readers. Looking up, Toby saw Chris approaching him. "Hey Chris," Toby said, greeting his aunt's son. "Do you know what's going on with Mom? Everyone thinks she and Discord have a thing going on," Chris asked. Toby then explained what he and Silver Spoon saw the first day. "So, some of us may be thinking that Discord is secretly flirting with Auntie Celestia," Toby explained. "Really? What makes you say that?" Chris asked. "Well, the other day, Clover said that most people are hardest on the ones they love," Toby replied. "Well, Mom appears to be at wits end. So, do you think you and the others could tone it down a bit?" Chris asked. "Alright, I'll tell the others," Toby replied, as Chris took his leave. Putting down his, book, Toby then left the library, "I needed a break anyway," Toby said to himself. Meanwhile, in a huge, mechanical fortress, Toby's evil father, James, was busy making plans to take back his son, "Is everything ready?" he asked his colleagues. "Everything is ready to go," The Mane-iac replied. "All systems are fully operational," the Pharaoh added. "Excellent," James commented. "One thing though," High Heel said, which caught the human's attention, "We just need to wait for the power to fully charge," she explained. "Hmm, how long until we reach full power?" James asked. "Approximately, forty-eight hours," Long Face replied. "Seriously? What kind of power are we using?" James demanded. "Solar power," Shadow Mane replied. "So, why is it taking so long?" James asked. "Well, the panels just need to warm up," Mane-iac replied. "The sun is warming up?" James asked incredulously. "Yeah, it doesn't make much sense to us either," High Heel replied. "I think another reason the power is taking so long is that our minions are all watching continuous reruns of 'Gravity Falls' and 'The Muppet Show'," the Pharaoh added. Just then, a call came in on the computer. "Hey, boss people, the pizzas just arrived," one of the Pharaoh's minions said. "Alright!" They all cheered as they all left the control room. "So that's basically it. We should probably cool it with teasing Auntie Celestia," Toby explained. After meeting with Chris in the library, Toby had talked to each of his friends, explaining the situation to them. "Alright Toby, we'll try to keep it to ourselves," Silver Spoon said. With that, Toby made his way to find the others to explain what was going on. Night fell quickly on the city of Canterlot, and Celestia and Luna were bringing Nathan and Josh to a guest bedroom that they were going to share, it nearly 9:30 at night which was typically past their usual bedtime, already in their pajamas, bathed, teeth brushed, and ready for bed, Nathan and Josh couldn't be more tired than ever. Suddenly, as soon as Celestia moved her right forehoof to open the door to the hallway that lead straight to their room, out of nowhere, a spring sprung out of the floor and a pie on top of it flung right at Celestia and struck her in the face. "Ahahahaha." sounded Discord's laugh. "Discord, I'm really busy right now!" Celestia demanded. "I can definitely see that," Discord said looking at the two boys in their pajamas, "But I'd thought I'd do one last little ultimate prank on my Celly before she herself gets too sleepy." he said wiggling Celestia's cheek which made her blush, she didn't even hear Nathan and Josh snickering over it. "Celly." Nathan whispered teasingly. "Cheeks wiggle, and I just saw her blush, I think your sister is right." Josh said. "Welp tata for now." Discord said kissing her making her blush again. That's when she took notice of hearing Nathan and Josh giggling, "Care to explain what's so funny?" Celestia demanded, quirking an annoyed eyebrow. Trying to hold in their laughter, Joshua and Nathan both shook their heads. Celestia was still unconvinced, but decided to leave the issue at that, before retreating to her room for the night. The two boys, along with Luna, who had been holding in her laughter as well, burst out in a hysterical laughing fit. After a few minutes, they had all calmed down. "Alright boys, good night," Luna said, as she left the room. Joshua and Nathan then crawled into their respective beds, and fell asleep. The next morning, Everyone was gathered in the dining hall, and eating their own individual breakfasts. As Celestia pored herself another cup of her morning tea, her cup shot her tea back at her like a geyser, leaving her drenched in tea. Celestia gave a very annoyed expression, as she heard snickers coming from all the children, including her sister, her two nephews, and her own son, "WHAT IS SO FUNNY!?!" Celestia bellowed in her Royal Canterlot Voice. The shockwave was strong enough to blow each of the children off of their seat. Celestia saw what she had done, and gasped, "Oh my, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, as she cradled some of the smaller children, who were just dazed. "Whoa, and I thought Brian had a set of pipes on him," Francisco commented, rubbing his ear. Just then, Discord showed up again, laughing up a storm. "Discord, what is the meaning of this?!" Celestia demanded, still seething in annoyance. "What? I can't pick on you in the morning?" Discord asked innocently. Celestia gave him a very stern glare, "Ok, so maybe I was asked to come and check on the kids," Discord admitted. From the sidelines, the kids and Luna were all snickering as quietly as they possibly could as Celestia and Discord argued back and forth. Meanwhile in the Maximum Security Detention Center... "Oh, Georgie. I'm so glad you're back with me." Shadow Mavis said. "Yeah, but our revenge isn't committed yet." George announced. "What do you mean?" "Gather our friends at the basement. I'll explain later." George said, as he headed off. "So then I told Joshua that it wasn't his fault running out of magic-- it was Nathan!" Krusha said, as the other kids howled with laughter. "Oh, man. And that time I punched Cory in the teeth, that was priceless!" Kiddy cried. Suddenly, Shadow Mavis appeared. "Hey there, Shadow Mavis. How it's going?" Klump asked. "We got to go to the basement. George is holding a family meeting in there." "Again? That's the fourth time this month!" Krusha said. "Well, we've got to go what George is planning." Pavilion said. All of the evil twins of the Children of Harmony all gathered up in the basement. George cleared his throat as he stood up. "You are all probably wondering why I've called you all here." George said. "Well, yeah." Pavilion said. "Is it because you can't pull a heist with only two people?" Helen asked. "Well, that, and one other reason. After being sent here again by those dastardly children and their family, we want revenge! However, we've been doing this one by one, so this time, let's do altogether!" George announced, and the others cheered, but stopped when George raised a hand. "Hey, don't get all excited on this now. I know you want revenge against those kids, but we can't just barge in. I have been doing some watching, and I've heard their Titan friends were arrested for what their doppelgangers did. We should do something like that, should we?" "Yep. After all, who's to blame for putting us all here?" Krusha asked. "But before we get to business, I have some news. Five months ago in one night, I found this helmet on my bed. I had a weird dream about monkeys being my army, and I was their leader." George explained, as he raised a white helmet with a red light on it. "Looks like George has been taking drugs again." Emily whispered, before George punched her. "I've heard that!" he shouted while blushing. "Anyway, those monkeys kinda felt like minions, but they also a sign from my father. We should try to make his wish come true, and we should do more than expected. Sure we are the same amount of kids like our counterparts, but we could have some more help around the heist. And now I know how." "How will that work?" Spider asked. "Oh, you'll see soon." George smiled evilly. "I wouldn't count on this 'plan' working," Krusha commented. "I'm with Krusha." Klump said. "Yep." Angie agreed. "Yes." Kellie said. "Uh-huh." Trudy commented. Omega just nodded. "Too wrong!" Heavy shouted. "Tiny agrees this is stupid!" Tiny growled. "Stupid plan." Helen said. "Not going to happen," Shadow Mavis added. George looked down in depression, stricken that even own his girlfriend doubted his plans. Meanwhile, back in James' fortress, "Ok, so we're all in an agreement. We'll have an ice swan for a centerpiece, and banquet style food for refreshments. Anything we're forgetting?" James asked. "We also need to go over the required dress code for the upcoming Summer party," High Heel replied. "Right, so what would we need?" Long Face asked. "Well, I guess for starters, we need... Wait a minute! Aren't we supposed to be planning to conquer Equestria?" James demanded. "Oh yeah," Mane-iac replied. "So, how are we going to do it?" The Pharaoh asked. "I got it!" The Mane-iac exclaimed. She then explained her plan to her friends. Chapter 5: Finding AnswersCelestia was close to loosing her marbles. Every time she attempted to go about her regular day, Discord always appeared with a prank, and soon after, some of the children she was watching would giggle at her, "What is so funny to them?!" Celestia seethed, as she stomped around her bedroom. Just then, a knocking came from her door. Celestia quickly composed herself, "Yes?" she called. The door opened, and in came Luna, "Yes Luna?" Celestia asked. "Well, I came to talk to you about tonight's dinner. Should we do something special with Toby and the others," Luna replied. Celestia put a hoof up to her chin in a thinking manner, 'Hmm, maybe I can use this as an excuse to finally get tot he bottom of what's so funny amongst the children,' Celestia thought to herself. "Tia?" Luna's voice snapped Celestia out of her thoughts, "Are we going to do something special for the children?" Luna asked. "Oh right! Uh, oh! I know! The Canterlot Gardens! We haven't been there in ages!" Celestia exclaimed. "Alright! I've been wanting some breadsticks for a while now," Luna commented. "Ok, so we'll go there tonight," Celestia declared, 'And maybe I'll find out what's so funny among the children,' she thought to herself. "Shall I tell the children?" Luna asked. Celestia thought about it for a moment, "No, lets keep it a surprise," Celestia replied. "Ok, and what time will we go?" Luna asked. "Lets go at six," Celestia replied. With that, Luna nodded, and took her leave. Once her sister left, Celestia had a psychotic look on her face, "Now I can find out what's making the children laugh so much!" she proclaimed. Meanwhile, with the parents, To spend their last day at the resort, the staff organized a scavenger hunt for the final event which had all the parents going around the resort finding random items, "Ok, so what's next on the list?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Our next item is a piece of Fools Amethyst," Twilight replied, looking at the list. "I've never heard of Fools Amethyst before," Ashley commented. "Keep in mind that we're not on our Earth anymore, so minerals like this Fools Amethyst should be expected to be found," Sarah commented. "You make a valid argument," Ashley replied. "According to the hint, we need to go somewhere with only natural light coming from the stones," Rarity said, looking at the hint provided. "I think I saw some glowing moss in that cave a while back," Elijah commented, as they made their way to the cave. Meanwhile, in the Canterlot Television Station, A couple workers were laughing, at a sitcom that was playing on the screens, "Oh man, will this ever stop being funny?!" one of them asked. "I hope not!" the other said. Just then, the door behind them slammed open. Looking towards the door, they saw James and his gang standing there. "Don't touch that dial for the next five minutes. We're in control," James said, as they marched in. Moments later, The workers were tied up and gagged. While the rest of his gang were setting up some kind of machine, James was laughing at the sitcom, "Not as funny as Gilligan's Island, but still," James commented. "James, it's ready," The Pharaoh said. "Excellent! With my Video Zapper in place, we'll be able to steal every television show, every broadcast ever produced! Not only will we be able to flood the market with counterfeit videos, thus crippling the entertainment industry, but we'll never have to program our VCR again!" James said, putting a video cassette in the machine. It then began making all kinds of ominous sounds. "Is it supposed to do that?" High Heel asked. "It's just siphoning off all television shows ever!" James boomed. Unbeknownst to them, one of the workers squirmed away with a camera. Meanwhile, at the Frostbite Maximum Security Detention Center, In the halls of the Prison, things were eerily quiet, maybe too qui.... "NOOOOOOOOOORM! ABRAMMMMMMM!" never mind. George's voice echoed through the halls, as the sounds of crashing, and a cat meowing came from his cell. This caused some concern for the guards, who were escorting George's gang back to their cells from a therapy session. The gang was also concerned for their boss. "Georgie? Are you all right, mon amor?" Shadow Mavis asked. "We've got borscht being made in the mess hall if you want some," one of the guards offered. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" a crazed look on George's face emphasized his need for silence, as he was watching, for some reason, a carpentry show, "With this, I will finally have the skills needed to exact my revenge of those Bolsheviks!" George said, as he put together a poorly made candle stand. George needed to take a good look at it to realize it was no good, "No...… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" George began throwing a hissy fit, before collapsing. The guards then opened the cell, only to find the unconscious George on the floor. "GEORGIE!" Shadow Mavis screamed. "Take him to the psychiatric ward!" one of the guards ordered the others. They did so, "As for you four, it's back to your cells," he stated. "What will happen to him?" Pavilion asked. "Don't worry. We'll keep you updated with his progress," the guard said, as he left each inmate in their cells. Needless to say, they were worried about their friend, Shadow Mavis especially. "Georgie, please be ok," she said, gazing out her window. 1 Hour Later, Each evil twin were lazily doing their own thing, when the guard came back, "Alright you four, we need to talk," he said, letting them out of their cells. "What's this about?" Krusha asked. "It's in regards to George's health," the guard replied. This caught their attention. "How is he?!" Shadow Mavis demanded. "Well, he just finished a psychiatry session, and the therapist has determined that he is...… not well, so to speak," the guard replied. This made each of the evil kids uneasy. "Give it to us straight man, what's he got?" Pavilion asked. "Well, the doctor says there's no real name for George's condition, but he say it stems from his defeat against Toby Mason," the guard began to explain. "Go on," Helen urged warily. "Apparently, the defeat messed him up so badly, that he's lost almost all common sense, causing him to do ridiculous stuff," the guard said. "I didn't think he was beaten that badly!" Shadow Mavis commented. "Yes, but this causes him to be so bad at villainy now, that he can't accept his loss. This leads to hissy fits, tantrums, and so on," the guard explained. "Well, can't you rub some kind of salve on him?" Krusha questioned. "Afraid not. The therapist has also determined that the four of you are also suffering from a similar case as George's. However, in your case, it just causes you four to loose interest in being bad," the guard explained. "That would explain why we didn't want to bother with George's flawed escape plan," Pavilion commented, only to have his foot stomped on by Shadow Mavis. "It's alright young lady. We overheard his little presentation, and we found so many flaws, that it was doomed before even being an idea," the guard said. "But, what becomes of us now?" Helen asked. "Well, we're currently working on something like parole," the guard said, as he motioned each kid back into their cells, "But for now, until the paperwork is processed properly, you will remain as you were," the guard said, taking his leave of them. AnnouncmentHey guys, darkmage1997 here, coming to you with a story announcement. First off all, I know many of you would like to see this story continue. I would like to continue on this story as well. However, many of my ideas have been coming up short in terms of effectiveness. There, I am going to make a change to chapter 1. Mainly, I'm going to have the kids all aged up by maybe 2 or 3 years, putting them in either their late, early, or mid teens.
Chapter 1: Canterlot Caslte (Rewrite)Canterlot Station: 3 Years after the George Cunningham incident, The train had pulled into the station to let off passengers. Among these were the children of harmony from Ponyville, including, Heaven, "Ok, now lets get the castle," Toby said, as the children all followed him to the castle. "So, why are we here again?" Heaven asked. "Celestia and Luna are looking after us while our parents are on vacation," Nyx explained, as giant captions appeared in front of her, saying "Important Plot Point". "Are you sure they can handle us? I mean, there's like," Silver Spoon said, counting the others up, "A bunch of us," she commented. "You're worrying too much Silver Spoon," Diamond Tiara. "And besides, they said they could teach us about our new alicorn powers," Twist said, as captions came up, saying "More Important information". "I'm wearing red socks," Mike commented. Captions came up, saying "Not important". "If you drop Mentos into Coke, you make a little volcano!" Sweetie Belle commented, as captions came up, saying "Not important, but interesting", as they continued towards the castle. Once they were at the castle, the guards opened the doors, "Distinguished guests, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have been awaiting your arrival. Please, enjoy your stay," they said, as the group walked in. Once in the foyer, they saw the two sisters, standing at the top of the stairs. "Welcome children," Celestia said, as she approached them. "We've been expecting you," Luna said. "Its great to be here Auntie Celestia and Auntie Luna," Toby said. "Though, I'm surprised Nathan and his siblings aren't here yet," Kelly commented, not seeing the toughest boy among the friends. "Actually, he, along with Skyla, Guard Armor, and Flurry Heart arrived about two hours ago," Luna replied. "Mavis was called to the Monster Kingdom to speak with the Queen regarding some matter," Celestia asked. "Hope nothing's wrong," Toby commented. "I'm sure everything is alright. But before you go and enjoy what the city and castle has to offer, we'll show you to your rooms," Celestia said, as she led the boys to the west wing and Luna took the girls to the east wing. "And here is your room Toby," Celestia said, as she finished showing the boys their rooms. "Thank you Auntie Celestia," Toby said, as he entered the room. Once Toby was inside the room, Celestia left her nephew to unpack. Just then, Celestia remembered something. "Oh boys, just one more thing before you go and enjoy yourselves in Canterlot," Celestia called to the boys, "If you need anything, I will be in the throne room," Celestia got a round of "Oks" from the boys, as she departed the west wing. "Have you guys noticed how much our girlfriends are, uh.... 'filling out', over these past few years?" Josh asked. "Yeah, but I'm not complaining," Toby replied, thinking about Silver Spoon. The other boys also thought of their girlfriends as well. "Hey Nathan, Celestia and Luna told us that Mavis went to the Monster Kingdom for something, right?" Conner asked. "Yeah. Though, if Ah'm bein' honest, it may have somethin' ta do with why Mavis has been acting so..... aggressively lately," Nathan replied. "She's been acting up?" Mike asked, a tone of surprise in his words. They all knew Mavis was not the kind of girl to act up. "Not really. But she's been acting really distant these past few days. When Ah go to check on her, she always tells me ta get out. Ah don't know if Ah made her angry or somethin'," Nathan explained. In the Monster Kingdom, Mavis was being escorted by a lamia maid, through the halls of her grandmother's castle. Her outfit consisted of a rather small bikini bra, that struggled to hold her massive bust, and a loin cloth that only covered the front of her panties. Her family had tried to find her some clothes that could fit over her massive curves, which, thanks to being made a Nymph, rapidly grew over the past few years, but they were unable to find any that could fit her. So, she received some clothes from the Southern Grotto Nymphs. At first, she was embarrassed about the outfit, but eventually got used to it. As for her being in the Monster Kingdom, the past few days, she's been feeling really warm, and wasn't hesitant to snap at her siblings, "Hopefully, grand-mere can help me out," Mavis said to herself, as they arrived at the throne room. "Your majesty, I bring before you, your granddaughter, Mavis Gustou," the lamia said, as they entered the throne room. "Ah good, thank you. You may take your leave now," the Queen said. With a bow, the maid exited the throne room. Once she was gone, the Queen turned to Mavis, "Mavis, do you know why I summoned you here?" she asked. "Non, grand-mere," Mavis replied. "Well, let me explain," the Queen said, as she went into details. Back in Canterlot, After both sisters showed the children to their respective rooms, they decided to resume their day with their regular princess duties, "Oh, this is so boring!" Luna whined. "Be strong Luna, it'll only take probably an hour or two," Celestia replied, as the walked in. However, as soon as they did, the two sisters were met with a certain Draconequss, "Discord, what're you doing here? I thought you were on vacation," she said to the Master of Chaos. "I was, but I came to give little Heaven her Teddy Bear and Cadence and Shining Armor asked me to give Mavis and Skyla their stuffed animals as well," Discord said, opening a trunk, containing all manner of stuffed animals. "Well, that's very courteous of you to do, but I feel there's something else," Celestia said, somewhat suspicious of Discord's antics. Discord appeared downright hurt at the white alicorns words. "Why Celestia, you don't trust me?" Discord asked, deflating like a balloon. Celestia gave him a stern look. Discord then used a bike pump to pump himself back up, "Oh, alright. I came by because I need to talk to you about something," he explained. "And what would that be then?" Luna asked. "Its concerning the Harmony Force inside each of the children," Discord said, his tone become quite serious. Outside in the corridor leading to the throne room, Toby and Silver Spoon were talking about his time in prison, "Oh Toby, I hope those awful inmates never hurt you," Silver Spoon cooed. Toby blushed at his fillyfriends concern, "They didn't hurt me too terrible. Sure the moment I got there, they were going to throw me in a trash compactor, but Trixie was there to bail me out. Unfortunately, because of that mole that George gave me, she was convinced that I was George," Toby explained. "Oh you poor boy," Silver Spoon cooed, pulling Toby into a warm embrace. Just then, they saw Discord in the throne room with Celestia and Luna, "What's going on here?" Silver Spoon wondered. "I don't know. Lets lay low," Toby said, as they ducked behind a pillar. "Are you serious?!" Celestia exclaimed. "I can't say for certain, but it appears their magic is growing stronger everyday. It may even be possible that they'll be in the same league as your mother," Discord explained. "I didn't think anything would be as strong as Mother," Luna commented in complete shock. "Yes, I know, but if their friendship continues to grow stronger, then they may be in the same league as Empress Faust," Discord explained, as he pulled out a pocket watch, "Oh, look at the time, I've got to get back for the limbo contest. But here, for you," Discord said, giving Celestia a bouquet of flowers, before teleporting away. Toby and Silver Spoon then noticed a faint blush on Celestia's cheeks, "What do you think all that meant?" Toby asked. "I don't know, but maybe its possible that Celestia has a thing for Discord," Silver Spoon theorized. An awkward silence befell the two. "Think we should tell the others and ask them for their opinion on the matter?" Toby asked. "Well, it would be a good idea. Maybe they can give us some sort of ideas," Silver Spoon replied, as they left to find the others. As they did, portal opened up in the throne room, and Mavis stepped out with her suitcase. "Ah, Mavis, I take it your trip to the Monster Kingdom went well?" Celestia asked. "Oui. She explained everything about a coming of age ritual that is a tradition in several monster cultures," Mavis replied. "So, how does it work?" Luna asked. Mavis blushed, and went into details. Author's Note Here are the ages for each of the kids: Toby, Nathan, Josh, Mike, Conner, Kelly, Crystal, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Twist, Dinky, Bolt, Diamond Tiara: 16-17 years old Nyx, Silver Spoon: 18 years old Mavis: 14 years old Melody, Clover, and Heaven: 9 years old The Beings of Harmony: 5 years old (their physical forms haven't changed over the years)
Chapter 2: They're In Love! (Rewrite)After seeing what the had witnessed in the throne room, Toby and Silver Spoon were now trying to find the others to see if they could get their thoughts on the matter. All the while, the two of them couldn't help but think back to when George Cunningham had escaped, and all the trouble he had caused, what with Toby being sent to prison, being bullied by the other prisoners, and being the object of affection of Shadow Mavis. He wondered if George was Shadow Mavis' boyfriend, then does Mavis have a thing for him. He shook his head, clearing his mind of that thought, "Toby? Is something wrong?" Silver Spoon asked. "No, I was just thinking back to what happened when George swapped places with me," Toby replied. "Ugh, don't remind me! I can't believe that guy was able to fool me into thinking he was you!" Silver Spoon said, hugging Toby, who blushed at the sheer size of his girlfriends bust. Ever since she got turned into an Alicorn, Toby noticed that Silver Spoon was getting much curvier over a few weeks. Silver Spoon then noticed the blush on Toby's face, and had a seductive smirk on her face, "What's wrong? Are my big boobies nice and soft?" she teased. "Oh yeah, really big," Toby said, sounding like he was in a trance. "Oopsie!" Silver Spoon said, releasing her boyfriend from the hug, "Sorry Sweetie Pie. I guess all those tips I got from the Nymphs work a little too well," she commented. Thanks to her urging, Toby was able to gain girlfriends in Dana, Marina, Sky, and Polly, who admittedly, all had a thing for the guy as well since he looked like an ancient Pharaoh they all went out with. "Yeah, maybe a bit too well," Toby agreed, coming to his senses. "But for now, we should try and find the others. They may know something," Silver Spoon said, as they headed to the entrance of the castle. "Alright guys, be sure to be back by 4:30 this evening," Chris said, as he saw the kids off. The youngers kids still went with some of the older kids. As they left, Toby and Silver Spoon arrived at the entrance, "I was wondering where you two were," Chris commented. "We got a little sidetracked by something," Silver Spoon replied. "Oh? What might that be?" Chris asked. The couple then proceeded to explain everything to Chris, "Hmm. Well, Mom hasn't said anything about trying to find a boyfriend. I doubt she even likes Discord like that," Chris replied. "Well, it's still worth looking into," Toby commented, as he and Silver Spoon went out into the city. Chris then retreated back into the castle. In another part of Canterlot, Mavis was walking around the mall, eyeing some of the stores. She wanted to do some clothes shopping, but couldn't. Her reason? Because she became a Nymph back when she was 4, she now had a body that most girls would give an arm and a leg for. He bust was so large, that she could only wear a bikini top that hardly covered her boobs. Some would speculate that she was at least U-Cup. Her hips were similar in this fashion, as they were twice as wide as her head. The only thing that could fit over them was a loin cloth she got from the Southern Nymph Grotto when she began to mature physically. Her family had tried to help her find more modest clothing, but the problem was that they were so tight on her, she could barely breathe. So she was stuck in her current fashion. She was embarrassed about her outfit at first, but over time, she got used to it. While she still got cat called by humans, ponies, and monsters alike, she remained true to her crush; Toby. "I really wanted to find something nice to wear for Toby, but I guess having big boobies and a big tushy are the price I have to pay for wanting to have a nice figure," she muttered to herself. She then saw something in the toy store window that caught her eye. It was a massive Teddy Bear about her height. It had a top hat, and a fancy bowtie. There were also some duck plushies about the same size too, "*GASP* How cute!" Mavis exclaimed, pressing her body up against the window. She then went inside the store, and bought one of each. She may be a teenager now, but she was still a child on the inside, "Now, let's send you both back to mon room," Mavis said, opening a portal to her room. She placed both of her giant sized toys by her bed. "Mavis?" Mavis blushed when she heard her crush's voice call out to her. She turned to see both Toby and Silver Spoon, standing before her. Because she was part ogre and minotaur, Mavis was at least 8 to 9 feet tall, making her the tallest among her human friends, even more so that Chris and Cory. This, however, meant her boobs, which where about as big as large bean bag chairs, were also in her friend's faces much to her embarrassment, and the envy of her girl friends, both human and monster alike. "U-uh, bonjour Toby, Silver Spoon," Mavis stammered, trying to keep herself composed, being this close to the object of her affection, feeling a burning desire deep within her. "We heard from Nathan that you went to the Monster Kingdom to speak with your grandmother about something. If everything alright?" Silver Spoon asked. "Sort of. There's a rite of passage that various monster species must go through in order to be considered an adult once they reach the age of 15," Mavis replied. "And your birthday is in a few days, right?" Toby asked. Mavis nearly lost her composure at the thought that Toby remembered her birthday. "O-oui," Mavis replied. She could feel her body temperature flaring up, just by being near Toby. Silver Spoon took note of how Mavis was acting around Toby, and thought about what he had told her about what happened between him and Mavis' darker half, and was immediately able to put two and two together. She then had an idea. "Toby, could you go on ahead? There's something I'd like to discuss with Mavis, you know, girl to girl?" Silver Spoon requested. "Oh, ok," Toby shrugged, as he took off on his own. Mavis looked saddened watching Toby walk away. "Mavis, do you.... want Toby?" Silver Spoon asked. Mavis' entire body went bright red. "W-What do you mean?!" the Omni-Monster teen exclaimed. "Hmm, I saw the way you were all fidgety around Toby. And what you said about your rite of passage is similar to when us ponies can be considered adults. Once we turn 15, we're legally considered adults, and as such can engage in various activities like...." Silver Spoon then whispered into Mavis' ear, causing the French girl to blush even harder, to the point that steam billowed out from her ears. "Did you really do those things with Toby?!" Mavis exclaimed. "Hmm, I won't go into details. We're talking about you," Silver Spoon said. "Well, most Beastmen go through the rite when they reach 15 years of age. The same goes for Succubi and succubi subspecies'," Mavis replied. "And you're all of them combined, right?" Silver Spoon asked. "Oui. This means that my Heat will be far more intense then anyone of mon friends from the Monster Kingdom," Mavis replied, fidgeting slightly. "Hmm, then maybe we could set up a date for you and Toby in the Monster Kingdom sometime this week. We can even ask the Nymphs to help out!" Silver Spoon suggested. "You would really help me?" Mavis asked. "Of course! I love Toby, you love Toby. We can try and make things click between you two," Silver Spoon replied, as she and Mavis devised a plan.
Chapter 3: Confirmed suspicions?It was about 1 o' clock when all of the children arrived back at the castle, and when they entered, they all looked at Toby and Silver Spoon, "Ok guys, what's this about Celestia and Discord?" Kelly asked, quirking an eyebrow. Toby then explained to them what he and Silver Spoon had seen. "So, we were asking you guys for what you thought of the matter," Toby said. "They're in love!" Heaven and Mavis sang teasingly. "Mavis, I said that would get old really fast," Nathan said. "And I don't want you starting that either, Heaven," Heiru added. The two girls puffed up their cheeks in a pout. "Well, we'd love to stay and chat, but we need to get to our lessons with the two of them. So we'll drop off what we got, and head down into the courtyard," Silver Spoon said, as she and the other new alicorns took their stuff up to their rooms. "Well, I guess while they're doing that, I'll head to the library, see if I can't find anything to read," Toby said, as he went to the library. "I'll come with you. I need something to do as well," Joshua said, as he, Raiden, Kelly, Crystal, Nyx and Trinity followed Toby. "I got some comics that I'll be reading, so I'll be in my room if you need me," Icezer said, as he left for his room. And one by one, each of the children left to do their own thing, leaving Heaven, Mavis, and Serenity all alone. "So, what do we do?" Mavis asked. "Want to go braid each others hair?" Heaven suggested. "O-ok," Serenity replied quietly, as the three of them left for their rooms. In the courtyard, "Alright girls, our first lesson will be learning to fly. First, of course, you must open your wings. Once you've done that, you need to flap them until you can be lifted off of the ground," Celestia instructed, as she opened her wings, and began to fly. Each of the fillies then copied the white alicorn. Some were able to get a few inches off the ground, while others were unable to get off the ground. "This may take some practice," Silver Spoon commented, as she kept trying to lift off of the ground. "Well, it'll get easier as you try. I mean, just look at Scootaloo. She was already a Pegasus before becoming an alicorn, and she can fly around like little rocket," Luna said, motioning to the orange alicorn, as she effortlessly flew around the gardens. "We'll try to get you girls flying before your parents come back to pick you up. But for now, why don't we take a break from flying, and move on to magic?" Celestia suggested. "Good idea. I'm starting to get sore," Silver Spoon said, gripping her shoulder. "Yeah, those wing exercises are murder on the shoulders," Applebloom added, rubbing her shoulders. "Well, lets go back inside. It'll be easier for us to focus on magic lessons indoors," Celestia said. But as she entered the door, a bucket of water fell on top of her head. Coughing, she removed the bucket, with an annoyed expression on her face. No sooner then she did remove the bucket, Discord appeared in front of her, laughing up a storm. "Oh, you should've seen the look on your face, Celestia. Priceless!" Discord cackled. "What brings you this time, Discord?" Celestia asked, still annoyed at the Draconequss' antics. "Well, Twilight had asked me to give you these books. She says they may help in their training," Discord replied, giving a stack of books to Celestia, who gingerly took them. "Thank you Discord. But why the bucket?" Celestia asked, still annoyed. "Well, I thought it would be a good way to make you smile," Discord said, before teleporting away. Celestia set the books down on a nearby desk. However, she didn't notice mischievous looks on each of the fillies, as well as her sister, who were all thinking the same thing. 'THEY'RE IN LOVE!' they all thought, trying to keep in their laughter. At the Resort where Twilight and friends were staying, a limbo contest was underway, "C'mon, how low can you go?" Rainbow Dash chanted, as Applejack, Ashley, and Rarity all bent over backwards, trying to keep from touching the bar, while the others were either swimming in the pool, eating some tropical fruit, or just lounging in the sun chairs. "It sure was nice of Celestia to watch the kids while we were on vacation," Twilight commented. "It sure was. And she was even kind enough to teach my little muffin how to fly since she has wings now," Ditzy Doo said, as she ate some papaya. "She was already using magic before becoming an alicorn, right?" Sarah asked. "Oh of course. Her sister was able to teach her how to use magic, even before meeting that nice young man of yours," Ditzy said. "I did raise him to be respectful of others," Sarah replied. "I'm just glad Diamond Tiara now has more friends to hang out with," Filthy Rich commented. "Yeah, Toby did say that he never had any friends back in the human world. I'm so happy that he now has a large group of friends, as well as a beautiful girlfriend," Ashley commented. "Yeah. Speaking of Silver Spoon, where are her parents?" Twilight asked, not seeing the filly in question's parents. "Silver Smith told me that he wanted to go to Germaney for some reason. He never gave me the details," Filthy Rich replied. "But Germaney is on the other side of Equestria. Why would he go there?" Twilight pondered. "Limbo Contest!" a pony announced. "Well, lets not worry about it now," Ashley said, as she got in line for another limbo contest. Back in Canterlot, Things were getting hectic for Celestia over the course of the next two days. After the tutoring session for the fillies, she had multiple buckets of water dumped on her head as she walked through doors, slipped on banana peels, or sat on a whoopee cushion, all the while, Discord appeared out of the blue, laughing his head off, half the time, literally. She then became paranoid, as she made sure not to do anything without checking first for any whoopee cushions or buckets. One thing she couldn't understand was why each of the children giggled whenever she passed them, 'Is there some kind of joke I was not told of? If so, then it lacks in taste,' she thought to herself, as she trudged through the halls. Eventually, she came across Chris, "Oh, Chris!" Celestia called. Turning to his mother, Chris smiled, "Hey Mom, what do you need?" he asked. "Do you know if there's any kind of inside joke among Toby and the others?" Celestia asked. "Well, I haven't actually talked to them since they arrived. But if I see any of them again, I'll be sure to ask them," Chris said. "Ok, thank you," Celestia said, as she made her way back to her bedroom. Before entering, she used her magic to check for any booby traps. After she saw there were no pranks, she carefully tip-toed into her bedroom, expecting some kind of trap. She used her magic to scan for some sort of trap. When she found none, she leisurely laid down on her bed with a relaxed sigh. After meeting up with his mom, Chris took off to find on of his friends, and see if he can't get an explanation. As he continued to walk, he pondered what was troubling his mother. Eventually he ran into Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara, "Hey girls, can answer something for me?" he called to the two. "Well, that depends. What do you need?" Diamond Tiara asked. "Mom thinks there's some sort of inside joke among you guys. What gives?" Chris asked. Taking a moment to process Chris' question, the two fillies giggled, "What? Did I say something funny?" Chris demanded. Silver Spoon then explained everything, "Seriously?" Chris asked. "That's what Toby and I saw," Silver Spoon replied. "Well, it sounds a bit unorthodox. I mean, Mom never showed any romantic interest in Discord, at least not as far as I know," Chris said. "Well, it is something to look into," Diamond Tiara said, as she and Silver Spoon left, leaving Chris to think about what they had just told him. 'Mom doesn't have romantic interests in Discord, does she?' Chris thought to himself, as he went to ask the others for answers.
Chapter 4: Spill the beansAfter speaking with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, Chris ventured off into the castle to see what his friends know, 'Maybe Toby knows something?' Chris thought to himself, as he made his way to the library. Upon entering the library, Chris saw Toby reading a couple books at a nearby desk. He recognized some of the books by their titles, such as "The beginners guide to Magic", or "The Unabridged History of Magic", and other books. "Hey, Toby!" Chris called quietly, as not to disturb any other readers. Looking up, Toby saw Chris approaching him. "Hey Chris," Toby said, greeting his aunt's son. "Do you know what's going on with Mom? Everyone thinks she and Discord have a thing going on," Chris asked. Toby then explained what he and Silver Spoon saw the first day. "So, some of us may be thinking that Discord is secretly flirting with Auntie Celestia," Toby explained. "Really? What makes you say that?" Chris asked. "Well, the other day, Clover said that most people are hardest on the ones they love," Toby replied. "Well, Mom appears to be at wits end. So, do you think you and the others could tone it down a bit?" Chris asked. "Alright, I'll tell the others," Toby replied, as Chris took his leave. Putting down his, book, Toby then left the library, "I needed a break anyway," Toby said to himself. Meanwhile, in a huge, mechanical fortress, Toby's evil father, James, was busy making plans to take back his son, "Is everything ready?" he asked his colleagues. "Everything is ready to go," The Mane-iac replied. "All systems are fully operational," the Pharaoh added. "Excellent," James commented. "One thing though," High Heel said, which caught the human's attention, "We just need to wait for the power to fully charge," she explained. "Hmm, how long until we reach full power?" James asked. "Approximately, forty-eight hours," Long Face replied. "Seriously? What kind of power are we using?" James demanded. "Solar power," Shadow Mane replied. "So, why is it taking so long?" James asked. "Well, the panels just need to warm up," Mane-iac replied. "The sun is warming up?" James asked incredulously. "Yeah, it doesn't make much sense to us either," High Heel replied. "I think another reason the power is taking so long is that our minions are all watching continuous reruns of 'Gravity Falls' and 'The Muppet Show'," the Pharaoh added. Just then, a call came in on the computer. "Hey, boss people, the pizzas just arrived," one of the Pharaoh's minions said. "Alright!" They all cheered as they all left the control room. "So that's basically it. We should probably cool it with teasing Auntie Celestia," Toby explained. After meeting with Chris in the library, Toby had talked to each of his friends, explaining the situation to them. "Alright Toby, we'll try to keep it to ourselves," Silver Spoon said. With that, Toby made his way to find the others to explain what was going on. Night fell quickly on the city of Canterlot, and Celestia and Luna were bringing Nathan and Josh to a guest bedroom that they were going to share, it nearly 9:30 at night which was typically past their usual bedtime, already in their pajamas, bathed, teeth brushed, and ready for bed, Nathan and Josh couldn't be more tired than ever. Suddenly, as soon as Celestia moved her right forehoof to open the door to the hallway that lead straight to their room, out of nowhere, a spring sprung out of the floor and a pie on top of it flung right at Celestia and struck her in the face. "Ahahahaha." sounded Discord's laugh. "Discord, I'm really busy right now!" Celestia demanded. "I can definitely see that," Discord said looking at the two boys in their pajamas, "But I'd thought I'd do one last little ultimate prank on my Celly before she herself gets too sleepy." he said wiggling Celestia's cheek which made her blush, she didn't even hear Nathan and Josh snickering over it. "Celly." Nathan whispered teasingly. "Cheeks wiggle, and I just saw her blush, I think your sister is right." Josh said. "Welp tata for now." Discord said kissing her making her blush again. That's when she took notice of hearing Nathan and Josh giggling, "Care to explain what's so funny?" Celestia demanded, quirking an annoyed eyebrow. Trying to hold in their laughter, Joshua and Nathan both shook their heads. Celestia was still unconvinced, but decided to leave the issue at that, before retreating to her room for the night. The two boys, along with Luna, who had been holding in her laughter as well, burst out in a hysterical laughing fit. After a few minutes, they had all calmed down. "Alright boys, good night," Luna said, as she left the room. Joshua and Nathan then crawled into their respective beds, and fell asleep. The next morning, Everyone was gathered in the dining hall, and eating their own individual breakfasts. As Celestia pored herself another cup of her morning tea, her cup shot her tea back at her like a geyser, leaving her drenched in tea. Celestia gave a very annoyed expression, as she heard snickers coming from all the children, including her sister, her two nephews, and her own son, "WHAT IS SO FUNNY!?!" Celestia bellowed in her Royal Canterlot Voice. The shockwave was strong enough to blow each of the children off of their seat. Celestia saw what she had done, and gasped, "Oh my, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, as she cradled some of the smaller children, who were just dazed. "Whoa, and I thought Brian had a set of pipes on him," Francisco commented, rubbing his ear. Just then, Discord showed up again, laughing up a storm. "Discord, what is the meaning of this?!" Celestia demanded, still seething in annoyance. "What? I can't pick on you in the morning?" Discord asked innocently. Celestia gave him a very stern glare, "Ok, so maybe I was asked to come and check on the kids," Discord admitted. From the sidelines, the kids and Luna were all snickering as quietly as they possibly could as Celestia and Discord argued back and forth. Meanwhile in the Maximum Security Detention Center... "Oh, Georgie. I'm so glad you're back with me." Shadow Mavis said. "Yeah, but our revenge isn't committed yet." George announced. "What do you mean?" "Gather our friends at the basement. I'll explain later." George said, as he headed off. "So then I told Joshua that it wasn't his fault running out of magic-- it was Nathan!" Krusha said, as the other kids howled with laughter. "Oh, man. And that time I punched Cory in the teeth, that was priceless!" Kiddy cried. Suddenly, Shadow Mavis appeared. "Hey there, Shadow Mavis. How it's going?" Klump asked. "We got to go to the basement. George is holding a family meeting in there." "Again? That's the fourth time this month!" Krusha said. "Well, we've got to go what George is planning." Pavilion said. All of the evil twins of the Children of Harmony all gathered up in the basement. George cleared his throat as he stood up. "You are all probably wondering why I've called you all here." George said. "Well, yeah." Pavilion said. "Is it because you can't pull a heist with only two people?" Helen asked. "Well, that, and one other reason. After being sent here again by those dastardly children and their family, we want revenge! However, we've been doing this one by one, so this time, let's do altogether!" George announced, and the others cheered, but stopped when George raised a hand. "Hey, don't get all excited on this now. I know you want revenge against those kids, but we can't just barge in. I have been doing some watching, and I've heard their Titan friends were arrested for what their doppelgangers did. We should do something like that, should we?" "Yep. After all, who's to blame for putting us all here?" Krusha asked. "But before we get to business, I have some news. Five months ago in one night, I found this helmet on my bed. I had a weird dream about monkeys being my army, and I was their leader." George explained, as he raised a white helmet with a red light on it. "Looks like George has been taking drugs again." Emily whispered, before George punched her. "I've heard that!" he shouted while blushing. "Anyway, those monkeys kinda felt like minions, but they also a sign from my father. We should try to make his wish come true, and we should do more than expected. Sure we are the same amount of kids like our counterparts, but we could have some more help around the heist. And now I know how." "How will that work?" Spider asked. "Oh, you'll see soon." George smiled evilly. "I wouldn't count on this 'plan' working," Krusha commented. "I'm with Krusha." Klump said. "Yep." Angie agreed. "Yes." Kellie said. "Uh-huh." Trudy commented. Omega just nodded. "Too wrong!" Heavy shouted. "Tiny agrees this is stupid!" Tiny growled. "Stupid plan." Helen said. "Not going to happen," Shadow Mavis added. George looked down in depression, stricken that even own his girlfriend doubted his plans. Meanwhile, back in James' fortress, "Ok, so we're all in an agreement. We'll have an ice swan for a centerpiece, and banquet style food for refreshments. Anything we're forgetting?" James asked. "We also need to go over the required dress code for the upcoming Summer party," High Heel replied. "Right, so what would we need?" Long Face asked. "Well, I guess for starters, we need... Wait a minute! Aren't we supposed to be planning to conquer Equestria?" James demanded. "Oh yeah," Mane-iac replied. "So, how are we going to do it?" The Pharaoh asked. "I got it!" The Mane-iac exclaimed. She then explained her plan to her friends.
Chapter 5: Finding AnswersCelestia was close to loosing her marbles. Every time she attempted to go about her regular day, Discord always appeared with a prank, and soon after, some of the children she was watching would giggle at her, "What is so funny to them?!" Celestia seethed, as she stomped around her bedroom. Just then, a knocking came from her door. Celestia quickly composed herself, "Yes?" she called. The door opened, and in came Luna, "Yes Luna?" Celestia asked. "Well, I came to talk to you about tonight's dinner. Should we do something special with Toby and the others," Luna replied. Celestia put a hoof up to her chin in a thinking manner, 'Hmm, maybe I can use this as an excuse to finally get tot he bottom of what's so funny amongst the children,' Celestia thought to herself. "Tia?" Luna's voice snapped Celestia out of her thoughts, "Are we going to do something special for the children?" Luna asked. "Oh right! Uh, oh! I know! The Canterlot Gardens! We haven't been there in ages!" Celestia exclaimed. "Alright! I've been wanting some breadsticks for a while now," Luna commented. "Ok, so we'll go there tonight," Celestia declared, 'And maybe I'll find out what's so funny among the children,' she thought to herself. "Shall I tell the children?" Luna asked. Celestia thought about it for a moment, "No, lets keep it a surprise," Celestia replied. "Ok, and what time will we go?" Luna asked. "Lets go at six," Celestia replied. With that, Luna nodded, and took her leave. Once her sister left, Celestia had a psychotic look on her face, "Now I can find out what's making the children laugh so much!" she proclaimed. Meanwhile, with the parents, To spend their last day at the resort, the staff organized a scavenger hunt for the final event which had all the parents going around the resort finding random items, "Ok, so what's next on the list?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Our next item is a piece of Fools Amethyst," Twilight replied, looking at the list. "I've never heard of Fools Amethyst before," Ashley commented. "Keep in mind that we're not on our Earth anymore, so minerals like this Fools Amethyst should be expected to be found," Sarah commented. "You make a valid argument," Ashley replied. "According to the hint, we need to go somewhere with only natural light coming from the stones," Rarity said, looking at the hint provided. "I think I saw some glowing moss in that cave a while back," Elijah commented, as they made their way to the cave. Meanwhile, in the Canterlot Television Station, A couple workers were laughing, at a sitcom that was playing on the screens, "Oh man, will this ever stop being funny?!" one of them asked. "I hope not!" the other said. Just then, the door behind them slammed open. Looking towards the door, they saw James and his gang standing there. "Don't touch that dial for the next five minutes. We're in control," James said, as they marched in. Moments later, The workers were tied up and gagged. While the rest of his gang were setting up some kind of machine, James was laughing at the sitcom, "Not as funny as Gilligan's Island, but still," James commented. "James, it's ready," The Pharaoh said. "Excellent! With my Video Zapper in place, we'll be able to steal every television show, every broadcast ever produced! Not only will we be able to flood the market with counterfeit videos, thus crippling the entertainment industry, but we'll never have to program our VCR again!" James said, putting a video cassette in the machine. It then began making all kinds of ominous sounds. "Is it supposed to do that?" High Heel asked. "It's just siphoning off all television shows ever!" James boomed. Unbeknownst to them, one of the workers squirmed away with a camera. Meanwhile, at the Frostbite Maximum Security Detention Center, In the halls of the Prison, things were eerily quiet, maybe too qui.... "NOOOOOOOOOORM! ABRAMMMMMMM!" never mind. George's voice echoed through the halls, as the sounds of crashing, and a cat meowing came from his cell. This caused some concern for the guards, who were escorting George's gang back to their cells from a therapy session. The gang was also concerned for their boss. "Georgie? Are you all right, mon amor?" Shadow Mavis asked. "We've got borscht being made in the mess hall if you want some," one of the guards offered. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" a crazed look on George's face emphasized his need for silence, as he was watching, for some reason, a carpentry show, "With this, I will finally have the skills needed to exact my revenge of those Bolsheviks!" George said, as he put together a poorly made candle stand. George needed to take a good look at it to realize it was no good, "No...… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" George began throwing a hissy fit, before collapsing. The guards then opened the cell, only to find the unconscious George on the floor. "GEORGIE!" Shadow Mavis screamed. "Take him to the psychiatric ward!" one of the guards ordered the others. They did so, "As for you four, it's back to your cells," he stated. "What will happen to him?" Pavilion asked. "Don't worry. We'll keep you updated with his progress," the guard said, as he left each inmate in their cells. Needless to say, they were worried about their friend, Shadow Mavis especially. "Georgie, please be ok," she said, gazing out her window. 1 Hour Later, Each evil twin were lazily doing their own thing, when the guard came back, "Alright you four, we need to talk," he said, letting them out of their cells. "What's this about?" Krusha asked. "It's in regards to George's health," the guard replied. This caught their attention. "How is he?!" Shadow Mavis demanded. "Well, he just finished a psychiatry session, and the therapist has determined that he is...… not well, so to speak," the guard replied. This made each of the evil kids uneasy. "Give it to us straight man, what's he got?" Pavilion asked. "Well, the doctor says there's no real name for George's condition, but he say it stems from his defeat against Toby Mason," the guard began to explain. "Go on," Helen urged warily. "Apparently, the defeat messed him up so badly, that he's lost almost all common sense, causing him to do ridiculous stuff," the guard said. "I didn't think he was beaten that badly!" Shadow Mavis commented. "Yes, but this causes him to be so bad at villainy now, that he can't accept his loss. This leads to hissy fits, tantrums, and so on," the guard explained. "Well, can't you rub some kind of salve on him?" Krusha questioned. "Afraid not. The therapist has also determined that the four of you are also suffering from a similar case as George's. However, in your case, it just causes you four to loose interest in being bad," the guard explained. "That would explain why we didn't want to bother with George's flawed escape plan," Pavilion commented, only to have his foot stomped on by Shadow Mavis. "It's alright young lady. We overheard his little presentation, and we found so many flaws, that it was doomed before even being an idea," the guard said. "But, what becomes of us now?" Helen asked. "Well, we're currently working on something like parole," the guard said, as he motioned each kid back into their cells, "But for now, until the paperwork is processed properly, you will remain as you were," the guard said, taking his leave of them.
AnnouncmentHey guys, darkmage1997 here, coming to you with a story announcement. First off all, I know many of you would like to see this story continue. I would like to continue on this story as well. However, many of my ideas have been coming up short in terms of effectiveness. There, I am going to make a change to chapter 1. Mainly, I'm going to have the kids all aged up by maybe 2 or 3 years, putting them in either their late, early, or mid teens.
