Twilight was busy mixing the Raccni venom she got from Tom with several compounds and putting them into various tubes and flasks and placing them in the lab so they could finish reacting. Rainbow Dash was curiously poking at the bubble where Tom lay unconscious from Twilight’s numerous venom extractions.

“So,” Rainbow Dash said bored with the unconscious Raccni. “Which one of these is the cure?”

“Difficult to say,” Twilight said. “I’ve combined the venom with every compound I could think of that had similar composition, we just have to wait a day or two and see if there are any changes. If worst comes to worst we could always inject it like a vaccine into one of us and see if we can produce any antibodies.”

“Who’s the lucky pony that gets that job?” Rainbow Dash asked as the two of them moved into the living room where Rarity was playing with Fluttershy.

“Hopefully it won’t come to that,” Twilight said optimistically. “So let’s just cross that bridge when we get to it ok.” Rainbow Dash seemed satisfied at this response. “Anyway thanks for helping me in the lab.”

“No problem,” Rainbow Dash said boastfully. “I’ve done some snake wrangling before and this was kinda the same thing. Except usually the snakes don’t complain that much.” Twilight laughed a little at this. “See you soon,” Rainbow said happily as she flew out through the castle’s front door.

“I’m glad you two are getting along,” Rarity said happily.

“Me too,” Twilight said. “It was really tiring fighting all of the time.” Twilight moved over to Fluttershy who greeted her happily with a hug.

“Well apparently we have some time to kill,” Rarity said with a sigh.

“Yes we do,” Twilight confirmed. “It’ll be about a day before the samples are done maybe longer for some of them.” Twilight seemed to struggle saying something. “Listen since we’ve got a while.”

“Is there something wrong Twilight?” Rarity asked picking up on Twilight’s nervousness.

“Well it’s been so long since Fluttershy,” Twilight was stuttering. “And there’s no telling how much longer until she can.”

“Twilight are you asking what I think you’re asking?” Rarity said piecing together some of Twilight’s ramblings. Twilight nodded her head and Rarity and Rarity burst into a happy yell. “I’m so glad you’re finally letting me babysit,” Rarity said hugging Twilight.

“Are you sure you can handle both me and Fluttershy?” Twilight asked concerned.

“Don’t you worry your pretty little head,” Rarity said patting Twilight on the head. “Let me take care of everything.” Rarity led Twilight and Fluttershy up to the nursery where she dressed them in matching pink onesies. “Don’t you two look cute?” Fluttershy giggled and fell on her back. Twilight started to help her up but Rarity stopped her by sticking a pacifier in her mouth. “Twilight I'm taking take care of you and Futtershy. So you don’t need to worry about anything except being cute." Rarity picked Fluttershy up and helped her regain her balance. "Now come with me.” Rarity led the two back into the living room and into the play pen in the corner of the room. Once they were both inside the playpen Rarity closed the top on it locking it shut. “I’ve left you two some coloring books and toys in there," Rarity said looking in on Twilight and Fluttershy through the play pen walls. " Why don’t you two get reacquainted with each other while I go and make you something to eat.”

Rarity left humming her way to the kitchen. Twilight was a bit unsure of herself but Fluttershy began poking her with a stuffed bear playfully as she suckled on her pacifier. Twilight couldn’t help but giggle and she slowly got more in the mood. Over the next few minutes Twilight and Fluttershy played various games, colored, and had childish conversations about their favorite color or how pretty or silly one of their stuffed animals was. They carried on this way for a while before Rarity returned from the kitchen.

“Well what have you two been up to?”

“Cowowing!” Fluttershy shouted.

“Sounds like fun,” Rarity said opening the top of the playpen. “Can I see your picture?” Fluttershy and Twilight eagerly handed Rarity their pictures.

“I drew a dragon!” Twilight said excitedly, “And Flutters drew a bear.”

“Rawr!” Fluttershy said as she lunged at Rarity with her picture in front of her. She and Twilight both laughed playfully.

“Well aren’t you scary?” Rarity said playing along. “I bet you’re hungry too, come I’ve got you two some food in the kitchen.” Fluttershy and Twilight followed eagerly behind Rarity.

In the kitchen one highchair was already set up and Rainbow Dash was nearby setting up another one.

“Raibow Dash?!” Twilight exclaimed shocked.

“Oh hey Twilight,” Rainbow Dash said casually. “Rarity said you needed another highchair so I flew over to Fluttershy’s and got hers, had to take it apart so I could carry it though. Just give me a few more seconds and I’ll put it back together for you.” Fluttershy happily pranced over to Rainbow Dash and hugged her.

“Wainbow!” Fluttershy said during the hug.

“Fluttershy do not disturb Rainbow Dash!” Rarity scolded with a threatening slap on the thigh. Fluttershy wandered back pouting.

“These tools can be dangerous Flutters,” Rainbow Dash said as she screwed in another screw. “Don’t want you getting hurt.” Fluttershy sat nearby waiting, but Twilight was still standing far away awkwardly. “There finished,” Rainbow Dash said putting the tools away. With that Rarity helped Fluttershy into the newly completed high chair while Rainbow Dash approached Twilight. “Why the long face Twily?” Rainbow Dash asked happily.

“I thought you didn’t like this?”

“Well I’ve gotta get over it sometime,” Rainbow Dash said helping Twilight into the other highchair strapping her in tightly. “Consider this me getting over it.”

“Thank you again Rainbow Dash,” Rarity said carrying over two jars of mushy filly food.

“Anytime, can’t have the fillies eating without their high chairs,” Rainbow Dash joked. “Anyway I’m going to head back out and grab some food for myself just give me a shout if you need me again.” Rainbow Dash flew off again leaving Rarity alone with Twilight and Fluttershy.

Rarity tied bibs around Twilight and Fluttershy and alternated feeding each of them bites of the filly food. Twilight had no problems eating the food despite its bad taste. She had gotten used to it after all of the times Fluttershy would feed her the same thing. Fluttershy, however, seemed to like the taste as she greedily ate each bite Rarity gave her. Twilight had a tired face of disgust as she finished her jar of food, but Fluttershy remained happy and energetic. Rarity returned with two sandwiches placing each one on a high chair tray.

“I know that filly food might not have been exactly filling so I made you two some sandwiches,” Rarity said cheerfully. Twilight eagerly began eating her sandwich to get the taste of the filly food out of her mouth. Rarity had to help Fluttershy with hers as she seemed to be having trouble. Twilight finished first which meant she had to wait in her high chair while Fluttershy finished eating.

“I’m done Rarity,” Twilight whined.

“Well Flutterhy isn’t so you’re going to have to wait on her.” Twilight kicked her feet anxiously and Rarity quickly put a pacifier in her mouth.

“You are going to wait there patiently!” Rarity said threateningly. “Do not take the pacifier out until Fluttershy is finished.” Twilight pouted angrily while Fluttershy finished eating which didn’t take long. Afterwards Rarity took the two back into the living room carrying two bottles. “Fluttershy gets her bottle first.” Rarity said sitting down on the couch. Fluttershy sat on her lap and began suckling on the bottle. “Twilight, are you going to be a good girl and wait patiently for your bottle?”

“Yes ma’am,” Twilight said defeated. She lay on the couch next to Rarity resting her head near Rarity’s leg suckling on her pacifier while she waited for Fluttershy to finish. After Fluttershy finished Rarity sent her off with a pat on the bottom. Twilight eagerly took her place and began suckling on the bottle while Fluttershy entertained herself nearby with some blocks, spelling out pretend words and building towers only to immediately knock them down. “All done!” Twilight proclaimed as she finished the bottle.

“Good job little filly,” Rarity said sweetly. “It’s time for a diapee check.” Rarity said as she opened the bottom of Twilight’s onesie. “Yep somepony is a very wet filly. You too Fluttershy get over here.” Fluttershy wandered over and let Rarity check her diaper. “You’re both wet, come on let’s get those diapers changed.” Rarity led Twilight and Fluttershy to the nursery and changed both of their diapers. When she finished Fluttershy gave a yawn. “Looks like it’s nap time for you two,” Rarity said as she helped the two into the crib and locked it shut. “We’ve had a busy day haven’t we?”

“I wuv pwaying wif mommy,” Fluttershy said getting sleepy.

“Me too,” Twilight giggled as she hugged Fluttershy.

“I bet,” Rarity said. “And you two can play more after your nap.” Rarity said authoritatively leaving the room. Twilight and Fluttershy snuggled together and the two drifted off into a light sleep.

After two hours of sleep Fluttershy was the first to wake, and she immediately woke Twilight when she rolled on top of her.

“Fluttershy?” Twilight said still waking up. She couldn’t talk much because Fluttershy had begun kissing her. “Stop,” Twilight said laughing.

“I can’t,” Fluttershy said giggling, “You’re too cute I can’t help myself.” Eventually though she did stop and just laid down on Twilight’s chest

“It’s nice to see you again,” Twilight said wrapping her hooves around Fluttershy. “I should have the cure soon so I can have you back all of the time.”

“I don’t know,” Fluttershy said coyly. “This is kind of fun, we should do this more often.” Twilight giggled.

“It is kind of fun having a playmate,” She said pushing playfully on Fluttershy.

“Yeah and Rarity does a good job taking care of us don’t you think?”

“She’s not as good as you are,” Twilight said with a smirk.

“You’re cute when your brown nosing,” Fluttershy said as she gave Twilight another kiss. The two giggled some more as Rarity poked her head into the door.

“Are you two decent?” Rarity said covering her eyes with one of her hooves.

“Yes,” Fluttershy said as she rolled off of Twilight. The two of them crowded near the cribs bars as Rarity approached.

“Fluttershy feeling good?” Rarity asked. Fluttershy nodded.

“I think you are doing a vewy good job taking cawe of me,” Fluttershy said childishly.

“Oh I think she’s slipping away,” Twilight said hugging Fluttershy.

“Well that’s ok, I’m just glad she thinks I’m doing a good job. I was worried she might be a little mad that we did this without really asking her.” Rarity said as she opened the crib up letting Twilight and Fluttershy out.

“She seemed fine with it to me.” Twilight said giggling coyly.

“I know dear I had the filly monitor on.” Twilight blushed deeply as Rarity brought Twilight and Fluttershy into the living room where they played together for a few more hours. Twilight stopped playing and got up.

“What’s wrong dear?” Rarity asked.

“I just have to check on the samples real quick,” Twilight said moving off to the lab. "It shouldn't take to long."

“Ok dear come back soon.”

Twilight entered her lab. She immediately removed her onesie, hanging it on a hook by the door and donned some safety goggles. She took a glance at the various samples she had. To her surprise it seemed that they had all finished reacting finished reacting much earlier than she had predicted and had settled into liquids of various colors. Twilight was filled with cautious optimism, she could have Fluttershy cured tonight if everything goes well. With the thought of getting her special somepony back filling her mid she quickly got work examining the samples to see if any of them produced a promising cure.

Twilight immediately eliminated a large portion of them with a simple magic detection spell. The compounds that weren’t magically charged wouldn’t help so Twilight focused on what was left. After running tests on the remaining samples she found that several of them seemed to be more dangerous than they were before and the rest of them were rendered inert, as harmless as a bottle of water but unfortunately not capable of healing Fluttershy. Worry and panic settled on Twilight, all of her samples were wrong, none of them rendered an antidote. Twilight sighed as she teleported the bubble containing Tom into the lab.

“What do you want now?” Tom asked aggravated at the sudden summoning.

“I need the anti venom now!” Twilight said gritting her teeth as she picked up the bubble.

“Well good luck with that,” Tom said laughing. “Did all those venom samples you get not do anything?”

“I don’t have time for this Tom!” Twilight said banging the bubble on a table. “I know you know how to make the anti venom tell me how now!”

“I can’t tell you anything, our whole deal is that we remain secret, strike from the shadows and what not. I’m not going to be the Raccni that blows our cover.”

“Ugh, your cover is already blown. I’ve captured you, and we know about the rest of you what else is there to cover up?”

“Nothing for much longer,” Tom said sadly. “Soon the rest of the Raccni will go into stasis again for a very long time, long enough for all of you to forget about us. All of the Raccni’s secrets will die with me.”

“Oh sweet Celestia!” Twilight said pacing, after a while though she stopped and thought about what Tom just said. “So you’re just going to sit back while they leave you behind?” Twilight said with a sweeter tone.

“I don’t have a whole lot of options do I?” Tom replied angrily.

“But you do,” Twilight said seriously. “Tell me how to make then anti venom and I will let you go.” As a show of good faith Twilight released Tom from his bubble. He fell to the ground, but quickly regained his balance. Tom hummed a bit as he thought about Twilight’s offer. “Neither of us have any options left Tom. I want that anti venom and you don’t want to be left behind. Why don’t we help each other out?” Tom struggled in thought for a while before he finally broke.

“Ok ok,” Tom said. “We have the anti venom stockpiled underground in the burrows, but if you want to get it we need to get there now. Once the rest of the Raccni go into stasis the burrows will seal themselves off, and they would have already recalled everyone once they got word I was captured.”

“Ok I understand,” Twilight said picking Tom up and putting him on her back. “I’ll take you to your borrows and you show me where the anti venom is deal?”

“Fine,” Tom said hesitantly. “Beats wasting away for 1,000 years.” Twilight left the lab and flew out of the nearest window and into the sky. Rarity ran to the commotion but could only catch of glimpse of Twilight flying off. Tom wrapped around Twilight’s neck to get a better grip.

“Alright where am I going?” Twilight said fluttering.

“In that large forest I’ll give you specific directions when we get closer.” Twilight flew off quickly following Tom’s directions.
