She was late. LATE! Sweet Celestia, she was late… “Keep it together, Starlight. Twilight won’t care if you’re late.” She remembered Twilight saying something to her the first day of their friendship lessons. “As my pupil. I need you to be on time. However, I won’t freak out if you are. It’s not like I’ll take your cutie mark away and force you out of the castle!” She had walked out after that. Twilight soon apologized, saying that she hadn’t been thinking straight. But Starlight knew that Twilight and her friends were her only friends before Trixie and Thorax. Now, Twilight had told Spike to tell Starlight that there was a really important meeting that Starlight NEEDED to be on time for. She was having lunch with Trixie when Spike told her- and SPIKE was 4 minutes late! Now Starlight was almost 30 minutes late… ah, there it was! The castle loomed in front of her. She burst through the doors, panting. “Twilight! I’m… here?” Twilight was nowhere to be seen. Also, why was the castle completely dark? She walked down the hallway. Then a light flickered at the end of the corridor. Twilight was standing in the middle. “Hello, Starlight.” Twilight turned and looked at Starlight, who was sweating. “Look, Twilight, I’m sorry I’m late! I just lost track of time!” Starlight blurted, only to be interrupted by Twilight. “This meeting has nothing to do with you being late.” Twilight’s horn started to glow a light pink. “I hate to say this, but it’s almost time for your graduation.” Starlight gasped. “What? I don’t want to leave your castle! I love our friendship lessons!” She started crying. Twilight came over to her and put her hoof on Starlight’s shoulder. “Starlight, look. I’m not going to make you leave. I’ve got a better idea.” Twilight’s horn now glowed hot pink. She smiled. “You’re still going to be my pupil… just how I was for Celestia. And the exact. Same. WAY!” Her horn blasted a hot pink light at Starlight. Starlight screamed. Then everything went black. ************************************************ “Twiwight?” Starlight couldn’t see a thing. Why was her voice so… so… foal-like? That’s ridiculous, she thought. Twilight wouldn’t turn me into a foal! She stood up. Now she could see stuff- barely, but possible. The doors… when had Twilight gotten the time to make the castle huge? Starlight rolled her eyes. “Whewe awe wou?” Everything was harder for some reason. For one thing, she kept slipping on the floor. She couldn’t walk on the floor! “Spwike! Why’d wou mowp da flowr? It’s swo swippwery!” She fell again. Then Twilight’s face was shoved into hers. Startled, Starlight began to cry. Stop it! she told herself. You haven’t cried since you were a foal! Shut up, Starlight!! But no matter what she told herself, she kept crying. “Oh dear.” Twilight said. Then Starlight felt a hoof punching her back. She burped, then put her hoof over her mouth, embarrased. Then she noticed she was in the air. “Twiwight! How cawn wou wift me?” Starlight screamed. Then she saw a young foal in front of her. The foal kind of looked like her when she was a foal. Starlight lifted her hoof. So did the other foal. Confused, Starlight thumped her left leg. The other foal did the same. Then Starlight shook her head. So did the other foal. She jumped up and down. So did the foal in front of her. As Starlight reached out her hoof, she tapped a glassy surface. She looked up, and saw that the other foal’s hoof was tapping hers… but what she was tapping wasn’t a foal’s hoof. It was a mirror. Starlight was tapping her reflection. She had been turned into a foal. But how? She needed to find out. Then she was lifted up into the air again by Twilight. “See Starlight? Now you don’t have to leave. You can stay here forever!” Twilight squee’d and hugged Starlight, then made an ewwww face as a she acidentally hugged Starlight’s diaper. But how did I get a diaper on? Starlight asked herself. That’s when she felt it coming off and a new one being put on. She had been so preoccupied with trying to find out how she became a foal that she hadn’t even realized that she had wet herself. Ugh. Starlight glared at Twilight. “Sorry Starlight, but you’re a foal now. I’ll call up Princess Cadance. Maybe you can play with Flurry while the-” Twilight couldn’t resist. “big ponies find a cure.” Starlight glared at her. “I a bwig poney too!” “For now you’re not. And I am in charge of you while you’re a foal. This will be so much fun! Now I’m not only going to be the Best Aunt Ever, I’m going to be the Best Mother Ever as well!” Squee-ing, Twilight picked up Starlight in her magic and walked downstairs. “Spike!” she called. “Yeah?” Spike poked his head out of the kitchen. “Take care of the place while we’re gone, okay?” Twilight started to walk away. “Hey!” Spike called. “Who’s the foal? It looks like Starlight.” The foal began to cry, causing Spike to grab a pillow and stuff it over his ears. “It IS Starlight. She’s going to be my pupil now.” Twilight started exiting again. It was a few more seconds before Twilight poked her head back in. “And I mean forever this time!” Spike’s jaw dropped. Starlight started crying again. “Twiwight I hungwy!” Of course, to Twilight it was foal-speak, which meant that she couldn’t understand Starlight at all. But she tried. “Hmmm… diaper dry…” Twilight patted Starlight’s diaper. “Ah! I know!” She levitated a bottle out of a blue foal-care bag and filled it with formula. Then she showed it to Starlight. Starlight knew what formula was, and also she wasn’t thirsty, she was HUNGRY. She slapped it out of Twilight’s magic. Twilight stared at her. “Ok, so you’re not thirsty… are you playful?” She pulled a plush toy of Sunburst out of her bag. Starlight raised an eyebrow. Twilight smiled sheepishly. Then she levitated a plush Flash Sentry from her room, and a plush Rarity from Spike’s room. Spike shrieked and grabbed it, hiding it behind his back. “We have plushies of of our waifus too.” Twilight smiled. Starlight facehoofed. “Sunnybuwst nowt my waifwu! He a fwiend!” She punched the toy out of Twilight’s magic as well. This time Twilight rolled her eyes. “Alright. Are you hungry?” Twilight asked. Starlight nodded and shrieked in foal-speak. Twilight handed Spike the foal food, telling him to make it and have it ready in 10 minutes. “It’ll be ready in 10 minutes, Starlight,” Twilight told her, smiling. “You’ll be fed soon.” And giving Starlight to Spike, she ran off to buy some more foal-care materials. Taking CareSpike stared at Starlight. Starlight stared at Spike. “Um…” Spike looked at his feet. “Do you… want anything?” He hadn’t much experience with foals, after all. Actually, he had absolutely no experience, which kind of made him wonder why Twilight asked him to take care of young Starlight, instead of him going to get the foal supplies. Then she started laughing. “Oh Spwike. This iswn’t fwunny… why Twiwight do this?” Spike could understand some things of what she said, but the rest was foal babble. He couldn’t stand it. “Hey Starlight. I hope you’re back to normal soon. I can understand what Twilight’s doing, though. You’re her very first pupil. I guess she really doesn’t want you to leave, but-” He stopped, for Starlight had started crying. “She my fwiend, and teachwer! She not bawd guy!” Starlight was losing it. Spike picked her up and started rubbing her back. Starlight burped again, then looked super embarrased. This time Spike laughed. “Don’t worry. All foals burp,” he said to her, which made her groan. “But I not a foawl! I a grown mawre!” Starlight started hyperventilating. Then there was the sound of a door closing. “Twilight? Are you there?” the voice of Pinkie Pie called out. Starlight’s eyes grew wide and she pointed to her blanket frantically. “You want your blankie?” Spike asked. “But it’s not naptime…” Starlight kept pointing. “Oh all right.” Spike got up and picked up the blanket. It was an old one that belonged to Applebloom once, and Twilight had asked Applejack if she could have it for Flurry Heart. Applejack, not guessing the truth for once, had given it to her, saying that she needed it back because of sentimental value. Twilight had made Starlight promise that nothing would happen to the blanket. Starlight hadn’t actually used it until now, but she grabbed it out of Spike’s claws and covered herself in it. Then she pointed to the shelf. Now Spike understood. “Ohhh… you don’t want your friends seeing you like this, so you want me to put you on the shelf, covered in the blanket?” Starlight nodded. Spike picked her up and put her on the shelf. “Now DON’T MOVE. Twilight will be very angry if anything happens to you.” He patted her back twice, then left to answer the door. She could hear the conversation from her hiding place. **************************************** At the door… “Hey guys!” Spike opened the door, and looked at the cute face of Flurry Heart. “Wait, why is Flurry here? Are Princess Cadance and Shining Armor here already?” “Yeah!” Pinkie said, jumping up and down like normal. “They’re at the train station. Fluttershy wanted to bring Flurry with us, and they agreed! So heeeeeeeeeere’s Flurry!” She put Flurry Heart in Spike’s arms. She cooed. Then her ears perked up, and she flew off into another room. Spike started to run after her, but Applejack stopped him. “It’s fine,” she said. “As long as she’s not loose outside or causin’ mischief, Flurry Heart is a-ok.” The farm pony sat down and sighed. “Man she’s a hoofful though. Ah’d watch the castle kitchen if ah were you” Spike groaned. A loose baby alicorn was the last thing he needed right then… ************************************ Back in the room, Starlight was hiding. Really well, she thought. Then somepony lifted her blanket up. She shrieked, and hid her face from the intruder. “Hiya strwange foawl!” the intruder said. The intruder talked in foal-speak? Starlight thought. She turned her face towards the intruder, and was muzzle to muzzle with Flurry Heart. “Um… hi?” Starlight was confused. Had Flurry escaped the Crystal Empire? She was too young to fly all the way from there to Ponyville. “How diwd you get hewe?” she asked. “Well my mommy and my daddy bwought me hewe,” Flurry explained, “when awl of a suddwen I was wifted up and pwaced in a foawl cawaige. Then I was bwought to this castwle and set fwee. I esc-es- got away and fwew hewe. That when I fownd you!” Flurry sat down, satisfied. Starlight sighed. “A woose baby alicworn. Lawst thwing I need wight now…” Magic MishapsBack in the doorway, Spike was pacing. The rest of the ponies had gone into the throne room to talk about their friendship retreat from a few days ago, all while Rainbow Dash was grumbling about being 2 seconds over the record and Pinkie saying that they should learn when to sing songs. Boy, they’re lucky, thought Spike. They only have to think about when to sing songs. I have to deal with a regressed Starlight and now Flurry Heart! Spike groaned, then there was a flash of light. Twilight had teleported into the castle with a bunch of foal supplies. “Spike? How is Starlight? Has anypony seen her? Has she escaped?!” asked Twilight. Spike shook his head and then pointed towards Starlight’s bedroom. Twilight smiled, then ran inside. What she saw shocked her. “So, thwis is my Waamy!” Flurry Heart said to Starlight, pointing. Starlight nodded and started throwing it into the air, playing with it. Flurry glared at her. “That my Waamy!” she shouted, then leaped on Starlight, knocking it out of the air. Starlight started crying. Twilight stared at them. “SPIKE!” she called, startling both Flurry Heart and Starlight, and causing Pinkie in the other room to freak out. “WHAT was THAT?!” Pinkie shouted. Spike calmed Pinkie down, then ran to see what Twilight wanted. ***************************************************** “Spike! What is going on?!” asked Twilight frantically as he ran into the room. She pointed to Starlight and Flurry Heart, who were now sleeping peacefully with the Waamy in between them. Spike raised an eyebrow at Twilight. “They’re just sleeping…” Spike said, kind of annoyed that Twilight had made him give up sitting next to Rarity for this. “Nothing’s wrong, Twilight. Calm down!” “No I will not calm down! You didn’t see it! Spike, Starlight was throwing the Waamy up in the air! That’s a foal thing!” Twilight lifted Spike up in the air and started shaking him. Spike was getting dizzy, and he neede to stop Twilight before he puked. “Maybe she’s just having fun with Flurry Heart?” His question made Twilight stop suddenly and her horn’s aura dissapeared, dropping Spike on his head. “Maybe, but I doubt it. You didn’t see her! She was acting like she actually was a foal! This is bad…” Twilight started pacing. Spike stopped Twilight. “Maybe there’s more information in the book in which you found the spell. Where did you find it, anyway?” he asked Twilight, who was smiling at him. “Great idea, Spike!” she cried, then teleported into the library. By the time Spike got there, she was already searching through the shelves. “Found it!” Twilight used her magic to levitate a book down from the topmost shelf. Why it was all the way up there, Spike had no idea. “Ok... “ Twilight blew dust off the cover of the book. It read, Secrets of Starswirl the Bearded. Spike looked at it and gasped. “Why would Starswirl make a spell to regress ponies into foals?” he asked Twilight. “I don’t know, but this is where I found it.” Twilight levitated the pages to the age-regressing spell. “Here it is…” she said, as she speed-read the spell. “Hey, what’s this?” Spike asked, pointing to some small print at the bottom of the page. Twilight read it aloud. “‘Notice: The longer this spell is active, the victim will become more and more foal-like.’ Why would that happen?!” Twilight couldn’t believe it. “Maybe you should ask Princess Celestia,” said Spike. “I can’t! If I do, she’ll know that I age-regressed my student! She never did that to anypony! Even Sunset Shimmer didn’t get age regressed, and you know how she was when she was Celestia’s student!” Twilight looked down at her hooves. “Then at least tell your friends. They’ll understand. They’re your friends, aren’t they? They’ve been through being magic-less, having their cutie marks switched, being turned into Breezies, and having their cutie marks being taken away!” Spike tried to reason with Twilight. Twilight raised an eyebrow. “So, they’ve survived having cutie mark problems and being turned into stuff?” “Those were examples, Twilight. Just go tell your friends!” Spike said to Twilight. “Ok, ok! I’ll tell them!” Twilight whinnied in annoyance, then teleported to the throne room, leaving Spike all alone in the library, wondering what to do with a brand-new clause of the spell that might change Starlight’s life forever. Author's Note The longer the spell stays, the more foal like Starlight becomes!!! OwO Idea by the book keeper! Thanks! :3 Code of the FoalsBack in the bedroom, Starlight was very tired. The two foals had been play-fighting all day over the Waamy, and it had gotten very tiring after Spike and Twilight had left. “So, who awe you?” Flurry asked Starlight, as the two foals snuggled in their respective blankies. “My nawme’s Starwight Gwimmer” Starlight replied. “And you’wre Fwurry Heawt.” “Starwight Gwimmer? You cawn’t be Starwight Gwimmer, she a big poney!” Flurry said, laughing. “Tewll me who you weally awe.” “I Starwight Gwimmer! I not lying to you!” Starlight started to cry. She silently scolded herself, but she couldn’t stop. What was wrong with her? She was acting more foal-like by the minute! That’s when Spike entered the room and sat down next to them. “Hey Starlight.” he said. “Wat’s wong?” Flurry asked him, crawling over Spike’s legs. Spike sighed. “Me and Twilight went over the age regressing spell… and we found something really strange.” Spike explained. “Apparently, the longer the spell is active, the more foal-like the victim becomes.” “WAT?!” Starlight screamed. “So tat why I been actin foawl-like!” “Twilight’s telling her friends right now. So it’s okay…” Spike muttered, then fell asleep with the two foals snuggling him. ******************************** “Hey guys!” Twilight said, walking into the throne room. Her 5 friends were there… and so were Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. Twilight gulped. “What’s up?” “Hi Twilight! Flurry Heart’s here!” Pinkie said, popping into view out of nowhere. Twilight smirked and shook her head. “I know, Pinkie. I saw her.” Twilight said. “I came in here because, well… I need to talk to you about something.” “You mean the foal in Starlight’s bedroom? Yeah, I know about that. So who’s the lucky mom?” Pinkie asked. Twilight blinked. “Pinkie, how did you know about that?” she asked. “Twilight, come on. I’m Pinkie Pie!” Pinkie said, then hopped over Fluttershy and into her chair. Twilight’s eye twitched. “Well, that’s the problem… she’s mine.” Twilight said, after calming down a bit. Pinkie started smiling really big. “SHE’S YOURS?! Why didn’t you tell me?! Who’s the father?! When can I throw her birthday party?! What spell did you use to hide that you were pregnant?! And HOW did I not see her until now?!” Pinkie started hyperventilating. Twilight put her hoof over Pinkie’s shouder. “It’s okay, Pinkie. The foal doesn’t exactly belong to me. And to answer your questions, 1) because I knew you would act like this, 2) she doesn’t exactly have one, 3) you already did a few months ago, 4) I wasn’t pregnant, and 5) see answer one.” Twilight looked at her friends, her brother and her old foalsitter. She took a deep breath. “You see… this foal is Starlight Glimmer.” Her friends gasped. Shining Armor stood up, angry. Cadance didn’t look that surprised. “Somepony age regressed Starlight?!” Shining glared at her. “How could you let this happen? She’s your student, for pony’s sake!” “This is why I didn’t want to tell you!” Twilight glared back at her brother. “I knew you’d act like this. And by the way…” She looked down at her hooves. “I age regressed her.” Rarity fainted. Pinkie gasped. Applejack’s eyes grew wide. Fluttershy meeped. Rainbow Dash flew out the window. Seconds later, they all heard her yelling, “WHAT?!” Shining Armor’s mouth dropped open. Cadance rolled her eyes. Twilight sighed. “It was a bad choice, I know. But now that you’ve all reacted like this, telling the one pony who could help me with this is totally out of the question!” “Whatever do you mean, darling?” Rarity said, walking up to her alicorn friend. “We’re your friends! We can help! Right, everypony?” The white unicorn looked at her friends for support. They were all nodding. “Darn tootin’!” Applejack shouted. “Yes indeedily!” Pinkie screamed happily. “Aw yeah!” Rainbow said, flying back into the castle and slapping her hoof down on top of Rarity’s, Applejack’s, and Pinkie’s hooves. “Yaaaayy…” Fluttershy came up to them, quietly putting her hoof on top of the others’. Twilight looked at all her friends rallying around to help her, and put her hoof on top of pile. They all lifted their hooves up. “Come on, everypony! We can still reverse the spell before the clause if we all work together!” Twilight said, then ran towards the library. That’s when Applejack said something that made her stop in her tracks. “What clause?” Author's Note Sorry that it took so long for the update! My computer glitches sometimes, causing websites like FIMFiction to become unblocked on my laptop (it's usually blocked) Well anyway the glitch is NOT occuring right now ( I had to post this on a friend's computer) and until it goes on I will not be updating this... Sorry again! :3 Enjoy! Chaper 5 will (hopefully) be out soon! The Misadventures of Starlight and Flurry“What clause?” Applejack’s question made Twilight freeze. She couldn’t believe she had forgotten to tell her friends about the foal clause! She giggled nervously. “Apparently, the longer the pony stays a foal, the more foal-like the pony acts…?” She expected shocked expressions on her friends’ faces, and that’s what she got. “So, wait. You put a spell on our friend and your pupil that causes her to look and act like a foal?” Rainbow Dash couldn’t believe it. “Yes?” Twilight said, a little sheepishly. Rainbow facehoofed. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Where’s Starlight now?” The cyan blue pegasus started zipping around the castle, looking for Starlight. “She’s in her room, playing with Flurry Heart!” Spike had entered and was sitting on his throne, reading a Power Ponies comic book. “Thanks!” Rainbow flew into Starlight’s room. A shout was heard from the room a little while later, followed by a thud and sounds of fighting. Twilight, followed by the rest of her friends and Spike, ran towards the sound. What they saw shocked them. ************************************************ “Awe you suwe thwis will work?” Starlight asked Flurry, who had opened the window and strung a diaper to it. They had decided on an escape plan after Starlight told Flurry how she had became a foal. Pushing Starlight in front of the diaper, Flurry nodded and started to let it go very slowly. “HEY!” a shout came from behind them. Startled, Flurry let go of the diaper, causing Starlight to fall backwards and land on her rump with a thud. She looked up and saw Flurry shooting magic at the now terrified Rainbow Dash, who was flying around the room trying to avoid Flurry’s shots. Starlight channeled the levitation spell, but it failed. “Wy won’t it work?” Starlight said, shocked. Even as a filly, her magic had been more than adequate. But that was after her magic lessons, so maybe… She didn’t remember much from her foal years, after all. Maybe she was bad at magic then! Flurry finally managed to hit Rainbow Dash, who fell on the ground. Starlight glared at Flurry. “I hwope you did’wnt hwurt her!” “I did’wnt! I jwust wemoved her wings, now she cawn’t fowwow me.” Flurry replied. Sure enough, Rainbow’s wings had disappeared. Starlight bit her lip, knowing that Rainbow was going to be very angry when she woke up. Then Flurry pointed to the doorway. Starlight turned toward the door, and there stood Twilight, Spike, and the rest of her friends. Except for Rainbow Dash, the whole crew was there. Twilight, looking down, screamed. “WHAT DID YOU DO?!” The scream woke up Rainbow Dash, who freaked out upon noticing that her wings were gone. Flurry turned red. “I did’wnt meawn two!” The whole room was covered in foal supplies, the spellbook (Spike had left it there) and feathers from a baby alicorn and a cyan pegasus. Twilight quickly grabbed the spellbook and chanted a few words. “Mare to foal, make it reverse, remove the clause, remove the curse!” she chanted. A hot pink beam shot out of her horn, surrounding Starlight. Flurry, sensing the beam, flew out of the way. When the beam hit, though, she was startled into putting Rainbow’s wings back on. Rainbow sighed in relief. “What’s hawpening?” Starlight asked, scared. Then there was a flash of light, and all went black. Author's Note One last chapter! Reversal“Are you sure she’s okay?” “Yeah, she has ta be. Otherwise, Twilight would be screamin’ our heads off.” “Ga?” “Ugh…” Starlight got up from the ground. Looking at her friends, she raised an eyebrow. That’s when she noticed that her friends were normal size. “Guys?” Before Starlight could say anything else, she was tackled by Twilight, who was crying into Starlight’s hair. “I’m so, so sorry! I just… I just…” Twilight was silenced. “It’s fine, Twilight. It was fun.” Starlight responded, causing Pinkie to appear out of nowhere and hug them both. “Ding ding ding ding ding! That’s the RIGHT answer!!!” Pinkie said, smiling. “What is?” asked Applejack. “That it’s FUN! Now come on, everypony! Party in the throne room! I call it the Starlight-Gets-Age-Regressed-And-Then-Becomes-A-Mare-Again Party!!!” Pinkie responded, letting Starlight and Twilight go. Then with a “Come on!!!” to the other ponies, Pinkie bounced out of the room. There was a sudden BANG of a cannon. The ponies ran into the throne room. “Pinkie? Are you okay?! Where are you?” Twilight shouted, scared for her friend. Then they noticed the giant pile of confetti in the middle of the room. Pinkie burst out of the pile and pulled a string from the ceiling. That’s when tables, chairs, cupcakes, cookies, and other baked goods fell from the ceiling. Starlight gaped at Pinkie, while the others just accepted it. That’s when Pinkie smiled even huger than when she hugged Starlight and Twilight. “CANNON BALL!!!!!!!!” she shouted, and ran towards the pile of confetti. When she neared it, she leaped into the air and landed in the middle of the pile, causing it to fly everywhere. Rarity had to leap every which way to avoid getting it in her mane; Applejack raised her eyebrows; Rainbow Dash flew around it, delighted with the challenge; Flurry Heart giggled; while Fluttershy meeped and flew out of the room. “Well then…” Twilight stared at the confetti, which was now landing. “Let’s party!” Pinkie cheered, and then slapped party hats on her friends’ heads. Seeing Shining Armor and Cadance, who had stayed in the throne room, she placed party hats on their heads as well (placed, not slapped, because they were royalty), and slapped one onto her own mane. Shooting her cannon once more, she shouted, “Come on everypony! LET’S PARTY!” And thus, the story ends. The ponies will party, Starlight will stay a mare, and Flurry and her parents go back to the Crystal Empire. Thank you for reading, liking, and supporting! Author's Note That’s the end, everypony! Thank you to everypony who has commented and tracked and favorited this story!
New Foal AlertChapter 1 “Out of my way!” Starlight Glimmer ran down the streets of Ponyville. She was late. LATE! Sweet Celestia, she was late… “Keep it together, Starlight. Twilight won’t care if you’re late.” She remembered Twilight saying something to her the first day of their friendship lessons. “As my pupil. I need you to be on time. However, I won’t freak out if you are. It’s not like I’ll take your cutie mark away and force you out of the castle!” She had walked out after that. Twilight soon apologized, saying that she hadn’t been thinking straight. But Starlight knew that Twilight and her friends were her only friends before Trixie and Thorax. Now, Twilight had told Spike to tell Starlight that there was a really important meeting that Starlight NEEDED to be on time for. She was having lunch with Trixie when Spike told her- and SPIKE was 4 minutes late! Now Starlight was almost 30 minutes late… ah, there it was! The castle loomed in front of her. She burst through the doors, panting. “Twilight! I’m… here?” Twilight was nowhere to be seen. Also, why was the castle completely dark? She walked down the hallway. Then a light flickered at the end of the corridor. Twilight was standing in the middle. “Hello, Starlight.” Twilight turned and looked at Starlight, who was sweating. “Look, Twilight, I’m sorry I’m late! I just lost track of time!” Starlight blurted, only to be interrupted by Twilight. “This meeting has nothing to do with you being late.” Twilight’s horn started to glow a light pink. “I hate to say this, but it’s almost time for your graduation.” Starlight gasped. “What? I don’t want to leave your castle! I love our friendship lessons!” She started crying. Twilight came over to her and put her hoof on Starlight’s shoulder. “Starlight, look. I’m not going to make you leave. I’ve got a better idea.” Twilight’s horn now glowed hot pink. She smiled. “You’re still going to be my pupil… just how I was for Celestia. And the exact. Same. WAY!” Her horn blasted a hot pink light at Starlight. Starlight screamed. Then everything went black. ************************************************ “Twiwight?” Starlight couldn’t see a thing. Why was her voice so… so… foal-like? That’s ridiculous, she thought. Twilight wouldn’t turn me into a foal! She stood up. Now she could see stuff- barely, but possible. The doors… when had Twilight gotten the time to make the castle huge? Starlight rolled her eyes. “Whewe awe wou?” Everything was harder for some reason. For one thing, she kept slipping on the floor. She couldn’t walk on the floor! “Spwike! Why’d wou mowp da flowr? It’s swo swippwery!” She fell again. Then Twilight’s face was shoved into hers. Startled, Starlight began to cry. Stop it! she told herself. You haven’t cried since you were a foal! Shut up, Starlight!! But no matter what she told herself, she kept crying. “Oh dear.” Twilight said. Then Starlight felt a hoof punching her back. She burped, then put her hoof over her mouth, embarrased. Then she noticed she was in the air. “Twiwight! How cawn wou wift me?” Starlight screamed. Then she saw a young foal in front of her. The foal kind of looked like her when she was a foal. Starlight lifted her hoof. So did the other foal. Confused, Starlight thumped her left leg. The other foal did the same. Then Starlight shook her head. So did the other foal. She jumped up and down. So did the foal in front of her. As Starlight reached out her hoof, she tapped a glassy surface. She looked up, and saw that the other foal’s hoof was tapping hers… but what she was tapping wasn’t a foal’s hoof. It was a mirror. Starlight was tapping her reflection. She had been turned into a foal. But how? She needed to find out. Then she was lifted up into the air again by Twilight. “See Starlight? Now you don’t have to leave. You can stay here forever!” Twilight squee’d and hugged Starlight, then made an ewwww face as a she acidentally hugged Starlight’s diaper. But how did I get a diaper on? Starlight asked herself. That’s when she felt it coming off and a new one being put on. She had been so preoccupied with trying to find out how she became a foal that she hadn’t even realized that she had wet herself. Ugh. Starlight glared at Twilight. “Sorry Starlight, but you’re a foal now. I’ll call up Princess Cadance. Maybe you can play with Flurry while the-” Twilight couldn’t resist. “big ponies find a cure.” Starlight glared at her. “I a bwig poney too!” “For now you’re not. And I am in charge of you while you’re a foal. This will be so much fun! Now I’m not only going to be the Best Aunt Ever, I’m going to be the Best Mother Ever as well!” Squee-ing, Twilight picked up Starlight in her magic and walked downstairs. “Spike!” she called. “Yeah?” Spike poked his head out of the kitchen. “Take care of the place while we’re gone, okay?” Twilight started to walk away. “Hey!” Spike called. “Who’s the foal? It looks like Starlight.” The foal began to cry, causing Spike to grab a pillow and stuff it over his ears. “It IS Starlight. She’s going to be my pupil now.” Twilight started exiting again. It was a few more seconds before Twilight poked her head back in. “And I mean forever this time!” Spike’s jaw dropped. Starlight started crying again. “Twiwight I hungwy!” Of course, to Twilight it was foal-speak, which meant that she couldn’t understand Starlight at all. But she tried. “Hmmm… diaper dry…” Twilight patted Starlight’s diaper. “Ah! I know!” She levitated a bottle out of a blue foal-care bag and filled it with formula. Then she showed it to Starlight. Starlight knew what formula was, and also she wasn’t thirsty, she was HUNGRY. She slapped it out of Twilight’s magic. Twilight stared at her. “Ok, so you’re not thirsty… are you playful?” She pulled a plush toy of Sunburst out of her bag. Starlight raised an eyebrow. Twilight smiled sheepishly. Then she levitated a plush Flash Sentry from her room, and a plush Rarity from Spike’s room. Spike shrieked and grabbed it, hiding it behind his back. “We have plushies of of our waifus too.” Twilight smiled. Starlight facehoofed. “Sunnybuwst nowt my waifwu! He a fwiend!” She punched the toy out of Twilight’s magic as well. This time Twilight rolled her eyes. “Alright. Are you hungry?” Twilight asked. Starlight nodded and shrieked in foal-speak. Twilight handed Spike the foal food, telling him to make it and have it ready in 10 minutes. “It’ll be ready in 10 minutes, Starlight,” Twilight told her, smiling. “You’ll be fed soon.” And giving Starlight to Spike, she ran off to buy some more foal-care materials.
Taking CareSpike stared at Starlight. Starlight stared at Spike. “Um…” Spike looked at his feet. “Do you… want anything?” He hadn’t much experience with foals, after all. Actually, he had absolutely no experience, which kind of made him wonder why Twilight asked him to take care of young Starlight, instead of him going to get the foal supplies. Then she started laughing. “Oh Spwike. This iswn’t fwunny… why Twiwight do this?” Spike could understand some things of what she said, but the rest was foal babble. He couldn’t stand it. “Hey Starlight. I hope you’re back to normal soon. I can understand what Twilight’s doing, though. You’re her very first pupil. I guess she really doesn’t want you to leave, but-” He stopped, for Starlight had started crying. “She my fwiend, and teachwer! She not bawd guy!” Starlight was losing it. Spike picked her up and started rubbing her back. Starlight burped again, then looked super embarrased. This time Spike laughed. “Don’t worry. All foals burp,” he said to her, which made her groan. “But I not a foawl! I a grown mawre!” Starlight started hyperventilating. Then there was the sound of a door closing. “Twilight? Are you there?” the voice of Pinkie Pie called out. Starlight’s eyes grew wide and she pointed to her blanket frantically. “You want your blankie?” Spike asked. “But it’s not naptime…” Starlight kept pointing. “Oh all right.” Spike got up and picked up the blanket. It was an old one that belonged to Applebloom once, and Twilight had asked Applejack if she could have it for Flurry Heart. Applejack, not guessing the truth for once, had given it to her, saying that she needed it back because of sentimental value. Twilight had made Starlight promise that nothing would happen to the blanket. Starlight hadn’t actually used it until now, but she grabbed it out of Spike’s claws and covered herself in it. Then she pointed to the shelf. Now Spike understood. “Ohhh… you don’t want your friends seeing you like this, so you want me to put you on the shelf, covered in the blanket?” Starlight nodded. Spike picked her up and put her on the shelf. “Now DON’T MOVE. Twilight will be very angry if anything happens to you.” He patted her back twice, then left to answer the door. She could hear the conversation from her hiding place. **************************************** At the door… “Hey guys!” Spike opened the door, and looked at the cute face of Flurry Heart. “Wait, why is Flurry here? Are Princess Cadance and Shining Armor here already?” “Yeah!” Pinkie said, jumping up and down like normal. “They’re at the train station. Fluttershy wanted to bring Flurry with us, and they agreed! So heeeeeeeeeere’s Flurry!” She put Flurry Heart in Spike’s arms. She cooed. Then her ears perked up, and she flew off into another room. Spike started to run after her, but Applejack stopped him. “It’s fine,” she said. “As long as she’s not loose outside or causin’ mischief, Flurry Heart is a-ok.” The farm pony sat down and sighed. “Man she’s a hoofful though. Ah’d watch the castle kitchen if ah were you” Spike groaned. A loose baby alicorn was the last thing he needed right then… ************************************ Back in the room, Starlight was hiding. Really well, she thought. Then somepony lifted her blanket up. She shrieked, and hid her face from the intruder. “Hiya strwange foawl!” the intruder said. The intruder talked in foal-speak? Starlight thought. She turned her face towards the intruder, and was muzzle to muzzle with Flurry Heart. “Um… hi?” Starlight was confused. Had Flurry escaped the Crystal Empire? She was too young to fly all the way from there to Ponyville. “How diwd you get hewe?” she asked. “Well my mommy and my daddy bwought me hewe,” Flurry explained, “when awl of a suddwen I was wifted up and pwaced in a foawl cawaige. Then I was bwought to this castwle and set fwee. I esc-es- got away and fwew hewe. That when I fownd you!” Flurry sat down, satisfied. Starlight sighed. “A woose baby alicworn. Lawst thwing I need wight now…”
Magic MishapsBack in the doorway, Spike was pacing. The rest of the ponies had gone into the throne room to talk about their friendship retreat from a few days ago, all while Rainbow Dash was grumbling about being 2 seconds over the record and Pinkie saying that they should learn when to sing songs. Boy, they’re lucky, thought Spike. They only have to think about when to sing songs. I have to deal with a regressed Starlight and now Flurry Heart! Spike groaned, then there was a flash of light. Twilight had teleported into the castle with a bunch of foal supplies. “Spike? How is Starlight? Has anypony seen her? Has she escaped?!” asked Twilight. Spike shook his head and then pointed towards Starlight’s bedroom. Twilight smiled, then ran inside. What she saw shocked her. “So, thwis is my Waamy!” Flurry Heart said to Starlight, pointing. Starlight nodded and started throwing it into the air, playing with it. Flurry glared at her. “That my Waamy!” she shouted, then leaped on Starlight, knocking it out of the air. Starlight started crying. Twilight stared at them. “SPIKE!” she called, startling both Flurry Heart and Starlight, and causing Pinkie in the other room to freak out. “WHAT was THAT?!” Pinkie shouted. Spike calmed Pinkie down, then ran to see what Twilight wanted. ***************************************************** “Spike! What is going on?!” asked Twilight frantically as he ran into the room. She pointed to Starlight and Flurry Heart, who were now sleeping peacefully with the Waamy in between them. Spike raised an eyebrow at Twilight. “They’re just sleeping…” Spike said, kind of annoyed that Twilight had made him give up sitting next to Rarity for this. “Nothing’s wrong, Twilight. Calm down!” “No I will not calm down! You didn’t see it! Spike, Starlight was throwing the Waamy up in the air! That’s a foal thing!” Twilight lifted Spike up in the air and started shaking him. Spike was getting dizzy, and he neede to stop Twilight before he puked. “Maybe she’s just having fun with Flurry Heart?” His question made Twilight stop suddenly and her horn’s aura dissapeared, dropping Spike on his head. “Maybe, but I doubt it. You didn’t see her! She was acting like she actually was a foal! This is bad…” Twilight started pacing. Spike stopped Twilight. “Maybe there’s more information in the book in which you found the spell. Where did you find it, anyway?” he asked Twilight, who was smiling at him. “Great idea, Spike!” she cried, then teleported into the library. By the time Spike got there, she was already searching through the shelves. “Found it!” Twilight used her magic to levitate a book down from the topmost shelf. Why it was all the way up there, Spike had no idea. “Ok... “ Twilight blew dust off the cover of the book. It read, Secrets of Starswirl the Bearded. Spike looked at it and gasped. “Why would Starswirl make a spell to regress ponies into foals?” he asked Twilight. “I don’t know, but this is where I found it.” Twilight levitated the pages to the age-regressing spell. “Here it is…” she said, as she speed-read the spell. “Hey, what’s this?” Spike asked, pointing to some small print at the bottom of the page. Twilight read it aloud. “‘Notice: The longer this spell is active, the victim will become more and more foal-like.’ Why would that happen?!” Twilight couldn’t believe it. “Maybe you should ask Princess Celestia,” said Spike. “I can’t! If I do, she’ll know that I age-regressed my student! She never did that to anypony! Even Sunset Shimmer didn’t get age regressed, and you know how she was when she was Celestia’s student!” Twilight looked down at her hooves. “Then at least tell your friends. They’ll understand. They’re your friends, aren’t they? They’ve been through being magic-less, having their cutie marks switched, being turned into Breezies, and having their cutie marks being taken away!” Spike tried to reason with Twilight. Twilight raised an eyebrow. “So, they’ve survived having cutie mark problems and being turned into stuff?” “Those were examples, Twilight. Just go tell your friends!” Spike said to Twilight. “Ok, ok! I’ll tell them!” Twilight whinnied in annoyance, then teleported to the throne room, leaving Spike all alone in the library, wondering what to do with a brand-new clause of the spell that might change Starlight’s life forever. Author's Note The longer the spell stays, the more foal like Starlight becomes!!! OwO Idea by the book keeper! Thanks! :3
Code of the FoalsBack in the bedroom, Starlight was very tired. The two foals had been play-fighting all day over the Waamy, and it had gotten very tiring after Spike and Twilight had left. “So, who awe you?” Flurry asked Starlight, as the two foals snuggled in their respective blankies. “My nawme’s Starwight Gwimmer” Starlight replied. “And you’wre Fwurry Heawt.” “Starwight Gwimmer? You cawn’t be Starwight Gwimmer, she a big poney!” Flurry said, laughing. “Tewll me who you weally awe.” “I Starwight Gwimmer! I not lying to you!” Starlight started to cry. She silently scolded herself, but she couldn’t stop. What was wrong with her? She was acting more foal-like by the minute! That’s when Spike entered the room and sat down next to them. “Hey Starlight.” he said. “Wat’s wong?” Flurry asked him, crawling over Spike’s legs. Spike sighed. “Me and Twilight went over the age regressing spell… and we found something really strange.” Spike explained. “Apparently, the longer the spell is active, the more foal-like the victim becomes.” “WAT?!” Starlight screamed. “So tat why I been actin foawl-like!” “Twilight’s telling her friends right now. So it’s okay…” Spike muttered, then fell asleep with the two foals snuggling him. ******************************** “Hey guys!” Twilight said, walking into the throne room. Her 5 friends were there… and so were Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. Twilight gulped. “What’s up?” “Hi Twilight! Flurry Heart’s here!” Pinkie said, popping into view out of nowhere. Twilight smirked and shook her head. “I know, Pinkie. I saw her.” Twilight said. “I came in here because, well… I need to talk to you about something.” “You mean the foal in Starlight’s bedroom? Yeah, I know about that. So who’s the lucky mom?” Pinkie asked. Twilight blinked. “Pinkie, how did you know about that?” she asked. “Twilight, come on. I’m Pinkie Pie!” Pinkie said, then hopped over Fluttershy and into her chair. Twilight’s eye twitched. “Well, that’s the problem… she’s mine.” Twilight said, after calming down a bit. Pinkie started smiling really big. “SHE’S YOURS?! Why didn’t you tell me?! Who’s the father?! When can I throw her birthday party?! What spell did you use to hide that you were pregnant?! And HOW did I not see her until now?!” Pinkie started hyperventilating. Twilight put her hoof over Pinkie’s shouder. “It’s okay, Pinkie. The foal doesn’t exactly belong to me. And to answer your questions, 1) because I knew you would act like this, 2) she doesn’t exactly have one, 3) you already did a few months ago, 4) I wasn’t pregnant, and 5) see answer one.” Twilight looked at her friends, her brother and her old foalsitter. She took a deep breath. “You see… this foal is Starlight Glimmer.” Her friends gasped. Shining Armor stood up, angry. Cadance didn’t look that surprised. “Somepony age regressed Starlight?!” Shining glared at her. “How could you let this happen? She’s your student, for pony’s sake!” “This is why I didn’t want to tell you!” Twilight glared back at her brother. “I knew you’d act like this. And by the way…” She looked down at her hooves. “I age regressed her.” Rarity fainted. Pinkie gasped. Applejack’s eyes grew wide. Fluttershy meeped. Rainbow Dash flew out the window. Seconds later, they all heard her yelling, “WHAT?!” Shining Armor’s mouth dropped open. Cadance rolled her eyes. Twilight sighed. “It was a bad choice, I know. But now that you’ve all reacted like this, telling the one pony who could help me with this is totally out of the question!” “Whatever do you mean, darling?” Rarity said, walking up to her alicorn friend. “We’re your friends! We can help! Right, everypony?” The white unicorn looked at her friends for support. They were all nodding. “Darn tootin’!” Applejack shouted. “Yes indeedily!” Pinkie screamed happily. “Aw yeah!” Rainbow said, flying back into the castle and slapping her hoof down on top of Rarity’s, Applejack’s, and Pinkie’s hooves. “Yaaaayy…” Fluttershy came up to them, quietly putting her hoof on top of the others’. Twilight looked at all her friends rallying around to help her, and put her hoof on top of pile. They all lifted their hooves up. “Come on, everypony! We can still reverse the spell before the clause if we all work together!” Twilight said, then ran towards the library. That’s when Applejack said something that made her stop in her tracks. “What clause?” Author's Note Sorry that it took so long for the update! My computer glitches sometimes, causing websites like FIMFiction to become unblocked on my laptop (it's usually blocked) Well anyway the glitch is NOT occuring right now ( I had to post this on a friend's computer) and until it goes on I will not be updating this... Sorry again! :3 Enjoy! Chaper 5 will (hopefully) be out soon!
The Misadventures of Starlight and Flurry“What clause?” Applejack’s question made Twilight freeze. She couldn’t believe she had forgotten to tell her friends about the foal clause! She giggled nervously. “Apparently, the longer the pony stays a foal, the more foal-like the pony acts…?” She expected shocked expressions on her friends’ faces, and that’s what she got. “So, wait. You put a spell on our friend and your pupil that causes her to look and act like a foal?” Rainbow Dash couldn’t believe it. “Yes?” Twilight said, a little sheepishly. Rainbow facehoofed. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Where’s Starlight now?” The cyan blue pegasus started zipping around the castle, looking for Starlight. “She’s in her room, playing with Flurry Heart!” Spike had entered and was sitting on his throne, reading a Power Ponies comic book. “Thanks!” Rainbow flew into Starlight’s room. A shout was heard from the room a little while later, followed by a thud and sounds of fighting. Twilight, followed by the rest of her friends and Spike, ran towards the sound. What they saw shocked them. ************************************************ “Awe you suwe thwis will work?” Starlight asked Flurry, who had opened the window and strung a diaper to it. They had decided on an escape plan after Starlight told Flurry how she had became a foal. Pushing Starlight in front of the diaper, Flurry nodded and started to let it go very slowly. “HEY!” a shout came from behind them. Startled, Flurry let go of the diaper, causing Starlight to fall backwards and land on her rump with a thud. She looked up and saw Flurry shooting magic at the now terrified Rainbow Dash, who was flying around the room trying to avoid Flurry’s shots. Starlight channeled the levitation spell, but it failed. “Wy won’t it work?” Starlight said, shocked. Even as a filly, her magic had been more than adequate. But that was after her magic lessons, so maybe… She didn’t remember much from her foal years, after all. Maybe she was bad at magic then! Flurry finally managed to hit Rainbow Dash, who fell on the ground. Starlight glared at Flurry. “I hwope you did’wnt hwurt her!” “I did’wnt! I jwust wemoved her wings, now she cawn’t fowwow me.” Flurry replied. Sure enough, Rainbow’s wings had disappeared. Starlight bit her lip, knowing that Rainbow was going to be very angry when she woke up. Then Flurry pointed to the doorway. Starlight turned toward the door, and there stood Twilight, Spike, and the rest of her friends. Except for Rainbow Dash, the whole crew was there. Twilight, looking down, screamed. “WHAT DID YOU DO?!” The scream woke up Rainbow Dash, who freaked out upon noticing that her wings were gone. Flurry turned red. “I did’wnt meawn two!” The whole room was covered in foal supplies, the spellbook (Spike had left it there) and feathers from a baby alicorn and a cyan pegasus. Twilight quickly grabbed the spellbook and chanted a few words. “Mare to foal, make it reverse, remove the clause, remove the curse!” she chanted. A hot pink beam shot out of her horn, surrounding Starlight. Flurry, sensing the beam, flew out of the way. When the beam hit, though, she was startled into putting Rainbow’s wings back on. Rainbow sighed in relief. “What’s hawpening?” Starlight asked, scared. Then there was a flash of light, and all went black. Author's Note One last chapter!
Reversal“Are you sure she’s okay?” “Yeah, she has ta be. Otherwise, Twilight would be screamin’ our heads off.” “Ga?” “Ugh…” Starlight got up from the ground. Looking at her friends, she raised an eyebrow. That’s when she noticed that her friends were normal size. “Guys?” Before Starlight could say anything else, she was tackled by Twilight, who was crying into Starlight’s hair. “I’m so, so sorry! I just… I just…” Twilight was silenced. “It’s fine, Twilight. It was fun.” Starlight responded, causing Pinkie to appear out of nowhere and hug them both. “Ding ding ding ding ding! That’s the RIGHT answer!!!” Pinkie said, smiling. “What is?” asked Applejack. “That it’s FUN! Now come on, everypony! Party in the throne room! I call it the Starlight-Gets-Age-Regressed-And-Then-Becomes-A-Mare-Again Party!!!” Pinkie responded, letting Starlight and Twilight go. Then with a “Come on!!!” to the other ponies, Pinkie bounced out of the room. There was a sudden BANG of a cannon. The ponies ran into the throne room. “Pinkie? Are you okay?! Where are you?” Twilight shouted, scared for her friend. Then they noticed the giant pile of confetti in the middle of the room. Pinkie burst out of the pile and pulled a string from the ceiling. That’s when tables, chairs, cupcakes, cookies, and other baked goods fell from the ceiling. Starlight gaped at Pinkie, while the others just accepted it. That’s when Pinkie smiled even huger than when she hugged Starlight and Twilight. “CANNON BALL!!!!!!!!” she shouted, and ran towards the pile of confetti. When she neared it, she leaped into the air and landed in the middle of the pile, causing it to fly everywhere. Rarity had to leap every which way to avoid getting it in her mane; Applejack raised her eyebrows; Rainbow Dash flew around it, delighted with the challenge; Flurry Heart giggled; while Fluttershy meeped and flew out of the room. “Well then…” Twilight stared at the confetti, which was now landing. “Let’s party!” Pinkie cheered, and then slapped party hats on her friends’ heads. Seeing Shining Armor and Cadance, who had stayed in the throne room, she placed party hats on their heads as well (placed, not slapped, because they were royalty), and slapped one onto her own mane. Shooting her cannon once more, she shouted, “Come on everypony! LET’S PARTY!” And thus, the story ends. The ponies will party, Starlight will stay a mare, and Flurry and her parents go back to the Crystal Empire. Thank you for reading, liking, and supporting! Author's Note That’s the end, everypony! Thank you to everypony who has commented and tracked and favorited this story!
