Chapters Twilight was lounging in her chair, engrossed in the book she was reading. Not much different than how she normally spent her time in the Crystal Empire due to all the old books in the library. However this time was not like the others, as a small cry reminded her.
Placing a bookmark to keep her place, she set the book aside before heading over to the crib where her niece was waking up from a nap.
Giving her a quick check revealed that she was likely hungry. Twilight put a pacifier in the newborn's mouth to distract her while she ran over to the nearby kitchen to retrieve some milk.
As she entered the kitchen she saw Pinkie Pie mixing up a large batch of cupcake mix, several trays of cupcakes were covering the counters. Most of them decorated.
Twilight greeted her friend as she opened the fridge. Not seeing the milk she swore she had put in the fridge to thaw, even though it was part of her checklist so she must have put one of the bags in there, she decided to look in the freezer.
Twilight stood in slight shock, all the milk Cadence had pumped and froze so they could feed Flurry Heart over the next few days was missing. Looking around the kitchen and a quick mental calculation on the ingredient amounts led her to a revelation.
"Pinkie, did you use all of the milk in the fridge and freezer?" She asked to confirm her theory.
"Yep. The freezer's an odd place to store milk. I mean they could've been trying to make ice cream but that's not how you make it. I do like how it was portioned into the little baggies, made it easier to measure out the amounts -" Pinkie continued on.
Twilight phased her out, a useful technique she learned when her rather exuberant friend yakked on. Dozens of scenarios ran through her mind. Then her trapspell went off.
A small cry could be heard moving rapidly through the castle. The baby had escaped her crib. Twilight multitasked her planning as she went off in search of her niece before something could happen to her.
Pinkie Pie poured the batter she was mixing into a baking tray before moving over to decorate more of the cupcakes, still chatting about the ice cream creating process and whether or not she could make ice cream cupcakes.
Twilight ran down the corridors chasing her wayward niece. Her emergency planning had stumbled on one of the child rearing books she had read to prepare for foalsitting. It had included a spell that could induce milk production and do so rapidly.
Shelving that plan just in case she couldn't think of a better one, she turned a corner and rapidly chased down where she could detect her nieces magic signature.
She felt a magic surge that's a telltale sign of a teleport spell.
Rainbow Dash was stretching her wings with a flight around the outside of the castle. She heard Flurry Heart crying inside, though the cries were wondering around the castle with a rather rapid pace. Circling one of the towers Rainbow spotted Twilight sprinting down the hallways, in obvious chase of the young foal.
Applejack lowered the book she was reading. The cover of the book stated that it contained some of the farming methods the crystal ponies utilized as well as the different crops they grew. She could hear Twilight running down the hallways, probably frantic about something or other. Maybe she had finished her book and was in search of another to read. Applejack returned to her book.
Rarity studied the various materials the Crystal Empire had to offer to a fashion designer. She heard a very distracting noise, reminding her of when she was younger and would babysit Sweetie Bell. A ladylike sigh escaped her as memories of her youth came to her. She shook her head lightly as she focused on introducing modern designs to the crystal mares and stallions. The thought of all those ponies being out of touch with fashion for a thousand years felt like a the absolute worst thing ever.
Flutteryshy sat in one of the gardens. Some of the local fauna was crowding around her. She was quietly talking to them, listening to their stories of their lives as well as the gossip amoungst the wildlife. A small shiver ran down her spine feeling like there was a being nearby that needed comforting. Looking around she couldn't place where the feeling was coming from. Letting out a sigh she decided to focus on the animals for the time being. A shadow moved across her as Rainbow Dash flew above her.
Pinkie Pie moved the cupcakes about to make room for the tray from the oven. She slide in the tray she had just finished filling and closed the door. Letting the fresh baked cupcakes cool she proceeded to decorate some of the other cupcakes. Bouncing one into her mouth she let the taste sim around her taste buds. Finding it very delightful, moreso than the ones that used the normal milk.
Twilight used her wings to glide down the staircase faster and safer than she could have ran down them. Coming to a stop at the bottom she checked the location of Flurry Heart again. She had managed to gain quite the lead and seemed to be jumping several mares in search of milk. Her cries were growing more insistent and seemed to be getting further away.
Twilight had run through several more possible plans. Most of them were invalid for one reason or another. She really only had a couple plans that could probably work. She wasn't sure if she could get formula or the stuff to make it which really narrowed down which plans were feasible.
Feeling another surge indicating the foal teleporting, this time to one of the towers caused Twilight to just jump out a window and use her wings to try to catch up to her niece faster.
Author's Note
Had to stretch this out because of the rule about new stories needing at least 1000 words. It originally ended as Twilight left the kitchen.
Rarity set her sketchbook down, having just finished the design of a lovely evening dress. Heading towards the table where she had laid out the materials and tools she had brought along or borrowed from the castle staff Rarity used her magic to begin organizing things so that she might work on some of her new ideas.
The crying slowly grew louder. As it seemed to be heading towards her, Rarity turned around to determine the source.
Years of dealing with her sister, and several months of her young friends as well, have taught her how to identify a fast moving filly so Rarity easily caught Flurry Hearts when she burst through the door. As the infant flew directly into her, she brought her arms up to catch the young foal.
Sighing a little at the distress of the foal Rarity looked down just as scraps of cloth started flying.
"YOUNG LADY! You need a lesson in manners. One does not shred the latest* fashions-" Rarity started, getting interrupted as she felt Flurry Heart latch onto her nipple.
As the newborn filly started suckling a shiver went through Rarity.
Sighing Rarity said, more to herself than anyone else. "Well if you're hungry there's not much I can do. I don't have any milk to give you. Now I'm sure your aunt Twilight is worrying herself to no end about you."
A small noise distracted her as Flurry Heart let out a squeal of disappointment at not getting something to sate her hunger. Kicking off of Rarity, causing her to take a half-step back to steady herself, Flurry headed towards the door.
Rarity reached out with her magic reflexively to catch the foal, but not being used to catching winged babies, she missed her aim as the flying foal was already turning to flee down the hallway.
Looking down at the destroyed blouse she was glad that her bra was of a half-cup design and had only been pushed out of the way rather than be shredded. The top and scraps were levitated off of her as a replacement shirt came over to take it's place. Rarity and the blouse moved back over to the table to see if she could salvage it.
A hand came up to caress one of her breasts from over her new shirt. A slight shiver ran through her as she thought about what having milk herself might be like. Thinking about the mares who had ordered some maternity bras from her and just how plain they tend to always be, designs for fashionable and functional bras started to fill her thoughts.
*) Any good fashion expert knows that the current fashion is always on the way out while the next big thing is whats hot. Good fashionistas think 2 trends ahead while designers think 3 or more. Rarity is, of course, a great fashionista and an excellent designer.
Rainbow was enjoying a flight around the outside of the castle. Winging over a tower she pulled her wings in, twisting as she fell. Opening her wings up again she easily caught herself and smiled at the simple stunt.
She was aware of a wailing sound as it moved through part of the castle nearby. Twilight hadn't caught her niece yet. If she took any longer Rainbow figured she'd offer her help. Her speed should let her catch the little tyke in not time flat.
A pink blur caught her peripheral just before something slammed into her. Years of training let Rainbow catch herself before she even lost a foot in altitude as well as bringing her arms up to grab what had hit her. Looking directly into the almost comically oversized wing of the foal they were foalsitting let her know exactly what just happened.
Annoyed at being caught off-guard like that Rainbow Dash let out a small sigh as the breeze going across her bare breasts helped soothe her. The realization that she was wearing a sports top dawned just as quickly as the foal moving to latch onto a nipple.
Shaking her head Rainbow said "Now Flurry. You can't just divebomb into someone when they're flying like that. You also shouldn't just help yourself to their tits."
Flurry Heart, having found no milk to sate her hunger, tried to push off of the flying mare but found that Rainbow had a very secure grip. Powering her horn she quickly teleported several feet away and into a window.
Rainbow Dash glided over to that window, folding her wings as she neared and came to a perfect landing on the floor inside. Looking down at her exposed breasts she contemplated leaving them as such. Though any stallion and several mares who see her like that would likely go into awesomeness overload, like Soarin that time she and Spitfire teased him for a week straight before he 'caught' them having fun.
Chuckling to herself as she pulled the halter back down to cover herself, thinking how he'll never be able to look at a weather vane the same way. She then proceeded down the hallway to help her friend catch the flighty foal.
Fluttershy was enjoying the company of the animals around the castle. She was hearing from one of the squirrels about some of the best hiding spots for nuts when the noise reached her ears again. It had been within earshot of her every so often but never close enough to really determine what the cause was.
This time the noise was getting louder, and she could tell that it was of a foal crying. Fluttershy excused herself from the animals as she stood up. She started heading towards the castle s a pink blur distracted her.
Landing back in a seated position, Fluttershy brought her arms up to cradle the foal that had slammed into her. She looked down just as her sweater and bra were shredded.
"OH... ummm... Flurry Heart I don't have any milk to give you... I can see if I can find some for you." Fluttershy said as she carefully rose to her feet as the foal suckled on her. The feeling of letting a foal feed from her spread through her, awakening a desire within her.
Quickly realizing that there is no milk to be gotten, Flurry cried loudly and leapt out of Fluttershy's grip. Flying off into the castle, she quickly disappeared from view even though her cries could still be heard.
Fluttershy ran off to chase after the wayward foal, using one arm to hold her bust in place as she ran and to cover herself from being exposed.
Applejack turned down the hallway. For a short while now she had been hearing a noise echoing about the castle. It didn't take long for her to identify it as a foal's cry. Having decided to go and see what's wrong and if there's anything she could do to help, Applejack had left the room.
She heard the crying begin to get louder from behind her. Turning around in time to see Flurry Heart approaching at speed caused Applejack to brace to catch her.
Keeping an eye on the young filly she saw magic undo the knot she had her shirt tied into and the filly latch onto her now exposed nipple.
"Young'un, Ah ain't got no milk for you. Might be an apple mom one day, but Ah'm still just an apple mare right now." Applejack gently chided the foal.
Keep her arms up to hold the child, she listened to determine if any of her friends nearby. Hearing multiple sets of footsteps echoing from down the hall, she proceeded down it.
Finding no milk Flurry Heart tried to struggle free. Finding herself held tightly, she started powering up her magic to teleport away when a quick nose-boop distracted her.
"Now, none of that. Surely auntie Twilight has a bottle for you." Applejack said, deftly retying her shirt so as not to be walking around bare breasted.
Keeping the foal distracted from using her magic, Applejack entered a small room at an intersection of a couple hallways. Just in time for a rather frazzled Twilight to catch up.
"Thank Celestia you caught her Applejack. Sorry if she tried anything, and can you hold her for a second while I set up a spell." Twilight said, her eyes slightly unfocused as she worked out a spell in her mind and started arranging to cast it.
Several sets of rapidly approaching footsteps gave slight warning before 4 other mares showed up. Rainbow Dash arriving first skidding to a halt next to Applejack. Pinkie Pie showed up next, bouncing down a hallway whilst balancing three trays of cupcakes. The front of her shirt showed that she had been checked by Flurry Heart for milk earlier.
Rarity showed up next, trailing a few shirts so to replace any damaged ones she found. Taking a cupcake from Pinkie Pie, she quickly removed and replaced her friends ruined shirt without disturbing the trays on hands or head.
Fluttershy arrived last, breathing slight heavy while her hand holding back her generous bust. Rarity huffed slightly at the damage to both shirt and bra before helping her friend into some decent clothes to properly cover herself.
"Okay, this spell should let me produce milk to feed Flurry Heart." Twilight said, seeing all her friends gathered.
"Why, what happened to all the milk Cadence left for her?" Rainbow asked, munching her way through a cupcake.
"I used it all up on these wonderful cupcakes." Pinkie stated.
Rainbow paused halfway through her third cupcake while Rarity looked between Pinkie and the one she had been taking dainty bits from.
"Ah thought it took some time for a mare's milk to come in?" Applejack queried.
"The spell accelerates the process. It should only take a few seconds for my breasts to be fully lactating." Twilight said, thinking quickly before taking off her shirt and bra.
"Oh, um... Twilight, if you don't mind, could you cast the spell on me as well? I mean, foals are awful hungry so having a second person to help feed can help. Plus we can pump to replace the milk Cadence had saved up." Fluttershy said, hiding behind her hair as a blush spread slowly across her face.
"Any help would be appreciated Fluttershy." Twilight said.
"Well, it'd be good practice for when Ah have some little apples of my own." Applejack said, taking a half step forward.
"I can't very well let myself be shown up by Fluttershy." Rainbow said, finishing a fourth cupcake and sticking her chest out.
"I used up all the milk, only right to help replace it." Pinkie Pie stated.
"One for all and All for one. Count me in Darling." Rarity said, looking at her shirt trying to calculate how much her bust will grow.
Twilight's magic surrounded all their breasts for a moment, lingering on her own for a brief moment longer. Her breasts began to visibly swell, easily going up a cup and a half in size while her friend's breasts grew at a much slower rate.
She reached over to her niece and guided her to one of her exposed nipples to let her finally get fed.
Fluttershy was enjoying the company of the animals around the castle. She was hearing from one of the squirrels about some of the best hiding spots for nuts when the noise reached her ears again. It had been within earshot of her every so often but never close enough to really determine what the cause was.
This time the noise was getting louder, and she could tell that it was of a foal crying. Fluttershy excused herself from the animals as she stood up. She started heading towards the castle s a pink blur distracted her.
Landing back in a seated position, Fluttershy brought her arms up to cradle the foal that had slammed into her. She looked down just as her sweater and bra were shredded.
The young filly latched onto one of the large breasts and began suckling. A small sigh escaped Fluttershy as she relaxed. Shortly after that she felt her milk began flowing as the foal started to drink.
Fluttershy stood up carefully so as not to disturb the meal of the infant. She moved over to a nearby bench before sitting back down to wait for the foal to finish.
Twilight soon arrived, taking not of Fluttershy's location and the activity going on.
"I wasn't aware you were lactating Fluttershy. I guess that does solve one issue, but it doesn't feel right to leave you as the only milk source for Flurry Heart." She said, more to herself and her friend seemed lost to the experience of feeding the foal.
As Twilight thought their friends arrived. Rarity placed a spare shirt next to Fluttershy so she could cover up once finished, and deftly replaced Pinkie Pie's ruined shirt while taking a cupcake to nibble at.
"Twilight, sorry about using up all the milk Cadence left for us to make these cupcakes." Pinkie said, causing Rarity to look from her to the cupcake she was holding before shrugging and taking another bite.
"That's okay Pinkie. There a spell I can use to induce lactation so I can help Fluttershy in feeding Flurry." Twilight replied.
"Well, count me in Twilight. It'll be good practice for when Ah become an apple mom, eventually." Applejack stated.
"I can help replace all the milk I used, it's common manners to restock after baking in someone else's kitchen." Pinkie Pie said, bouncing her hair behind her.
"Hit me with it as well." Rainbow Dash said as she took a step forward.
"One for All and All for One. All of us might as well help out Darling." Rarity stated.
Twilight gave a smile at the camaraderie of her friends before using her magic to envelop all of their breasts and casting her spell.
Twilight folded her wings as she entered through the window to land almost gently in the hallway. She smirked as she had managed to get ahead of her young niece.
Hearing the cries coming towards her, she turned to face them. Another sound, the flapping of wings caught her ears as well.
Timing her attempt to capture the foal as she flew by wasn't tough but she made a single miscalculation.
Flurry Heart had been jumping on anypony with breasts. Twilight had breasts.
Her arms came down around the small body about the same time magic enveloped her shirt and bra. She gave a quick shout of triumph before feeling her niece latch onto her nipple.
The sensation gave her pause for 1.3 seconds as her mind registered what was happening. Looking down she saw Flurry attempting to suck eagerly at the non-existent milk in Twilight's boob.
As Twilight's mind raced to think of a way to keep the foal distracted long enough for her to solve the issue of not having milk for the foal to drink a magical surge happened and Flurry Heart was gone again.
First spell was to trace the wayward newborn alicorn. The second spell repaired her damaged clothing.
A fixed look fell across Twilight's face (Pinkie looked around having detected something having fallen but not knowing exactly what, before decorating the army of cupcakes she had baked) as she decided on a solution.
First things first, she needed to lock down the location of her niece. In that regard, she headed off down the stairs to where the signature of the foal's magic was.
Pinkie Pie added the final flourish to the last cupcake. A large array of them stood before her, each one uniquely decorated and arranged on trays. The kitchen around her had been rendered very messy by the effort she put into the cupcakes. She herself had gotten rather liberally coated with a variety of the frosting.
Deciding that cleaning the kitchen can be left for after sharing the fruits of her labour with her friends, Pinkie picked up three trays. One balanced on her head while the other two being carried a bit more traditionally on her hands.
Exiting into the hallway allowed Pinkie to hear the crying of Flurry Heart. The smile on her face faltered microscopically at the corners of her mouth, both in the duty she had taken on in agreeing to help foalsit as well as because she had used up all the milk for feeding said foal.
Her thoughts distracted her enough she didn't register that the crying was getting closer.
Taking off down the hall so she could deliver the cupcakes amongst her friends, Pinkie was slammed into by a much smaller and lighter toned pink blur.
Skill in carrying delicate treats had allowed Pinkie to not drop a single cupcake as she stood back up. Looking at the wing that was draped over her shoulder she traced it down to the to body of Flurry who was using them to hold herself onto the much larger mare.
"Hey Flurry!" Pinkie Pie started off cheerfully "Sorry I used up all your milk in baking these cupcakes. I know they're delicious and nutritious but being such a young foal you sadly can't have one just yet." She continued as magic enveloped her shirt turning it to shreds.
Flurry latched onto a nipple as Pinkie stated "I don't have any milk in there. If I did, I'd share with you, and it might even make taking care of the Cake's twins easier too. Then I could also use my own milk in baking and I wonder how many people would like to have those cupcakes."
Pinkie started getting lost in thought as she rambled on about what she could do if she was lactating herself. She barely noticed Flurry letting go of her breast and came to just as she was off down the hallway. Shrugging she turned down a different hallway and began to travel down it, keeping the cupcake trays securely balanced despite all her bouncing*.
*) Her tail and hair have been known to bounce even when the rest of her body was perfectly still. A small theory held by Twilight was that even if Pinkie Pie was turned to stone they would still bounce despite the impossibility. Of course without her shirt Pinkie had more stuff bouncing than normally.
