Author's Note

Sorry if this chapter gets weird I wrote some of it while I was sleeping and didn't feel like changing it

Newchp10

“Children,” Celestia said as everyone had been seated for breakfast. “I would like to speak with you on a matter that may benefit you in the long run.” She said as she began to sip from a teacup

“I have a bad feeling about this…”Chara said having a feeling of where this was going due to how many fanfiction she read and written with kids as the focus.

“It's nothing to worry about,” Celestia said with a reassuring smile. “It's just that… with events being as they are… I feel as if you should “mingle” with those in your age group.” She took another sip.

“Pretty sure that's a bad idea.” Asriel commented.

“It'll be fine!” Twilight said as she walked into the room, three sets of pancakes in her magical grasp. “We’ve already taken care of the necessary paperwork.”

“I feel like I'm about to be sent to school... I'm about to be sent to school aren't I…” Chara said more than asked as she crossed her arms.

“I’ve already packed your supplies and lunches!” Celestia proclaimed happily, two school bags held in her magical grasp.

“Does mine have a pudding cup?” Asriel asked with a hint of excitement, hands on the table and eyes glinting.

“what God did I piss off to have to go to school…” Chara asks as she looks up at the ceiling.

“Think of it this way,” Celestia gave the school bags to the children, her smile never faltering. “This way, you are no longer an agent of the guard, and I get to drop the charges placed against you.” She explained to Chara.

“Fighting is easy studying is hard!” Chara complained as she stomped her feet not wanting to go to school, she did her time thank you very much.

“Aw… Please~ for me?” Asriel had gotten on his knees, hands clasped before him as he begged, eyes wide and shimmering like stars.

“There is no force on Earth are heaven that will get me in that building.”Chara said with a deadPan tone.

*Ponyville Elementary*

“How the hell did I get convinced to go to school!” chara yelled out as she entered through the door

“Love you too!” Asriel cheered as he ran straight in. Chara grumbled as she followed him and as soon as she caught sight of a certain Pink Pony with a tiara she glared at her.

“What are you looking at, freak?” The pony asked.

“maybe a little brat that can't do anything for herself and has to get her Butler to do it?” Chara said with a smirk using her knowledge of the show against this little twat.

Sneering, she simply walked away. “I don't have time for this, I have better things to do and easier targets to find.”

“What's the matter, can dish it but can't take it?” Chara asks her smirk only growing wider.

Looking back, she actually managed to close one eye while keeping her right eye perfectly open. “What? You expect me to pay you to let me insult you? I get enough of that from my “butler”.” Without another word she started to walk away again.

‘Chara calm down, don't kill this little twat, you won't get away with it and Celestia Will know if you rewind time’ Chara thought to herself as she tried to restrain herself from gutting the little bitch for outwitting her.

“Chara, your murder is showing.” Asriel said, poking the girl on the shoulder.

Chara immediately calmed down at asriel's touch before taking his hand and bringing them to the back of the class.

Class was rather simple, Asriel and Chara had been introduced to the class and were practically forced to answer rather awkward questions about themselves.

Scootaloo looked to Chara and smiled “So, how’d you get so cool? Taking old Diamond tiara a peg or two?”

“I wouldn't say she kept h-”

Sweetie Belle then interrupted “Is Asriel single?”

“No he's mine!” Chara said rather quickly grabbing Asriel’s hand possessively.

Apple Bloom looked at Asriel's legs pensively. “Would he be a good bucker?” She said mostly to herself.

“You'll never find out but I will!” Chara said casually.

The school froze as Cheerilee looked to Chara with unparallelled calm. “Who taught you such things? That should be saved for high school at the earliest!”

“Where we're from we have something called the internet-”

She then snapped a hoof over charas mouth as she spoke in a singsong voice. “Badadadada WE DON’T NEED TO KNOW FOREIGN POSITIONS!”

Chara moved the hoof from her mouth “that's not a position it's like a library movie theater and game console in one.”

Cheerilee went stone faced. “I will write a recommendation for homeschooling immediately.”

Chara immediately smiled at this.

[timeskip]

“So… why are we going into the Everfree?” Asriel asked the group of girls.

“I hope we see something cool…” Chara said as she was unimpressed with most of the stuff she was shown... except for the candy shop.

Scootaloo chuckled. “I’m telling you two, the Hut Zecora lives in is pretty cool!”

“Azzy you've been quiet for a while what's up?”Chara says moving to the back of the group and next to Asriel.

“Should we really be out here? I mean… without supervision by an adult, maybe one with a sword?” He asked worriedly, not wanting to go deeper into the forest.

“Asriel we have me, what could possibly go wrong?”Chara says and that is that the Universe wanted to give her the middle finger a group of timber wolves surrounded them.

“Fuck you, too, universe!”Chara yells at the sky giving it a double middle finger.

“You’re the one who keeps tempting the fates!” Asriel shouted as he pulled out a small knife. “And me without my magic…”

“You think that butter knife is going to actually harm them? This is what I call a knife” Chara says pulling a Cleaver that was bigger than her head out of her inventory.

Meanwhile in an alternate dimension...

Connor had been going to an endless marathon of conventions, looking for his friend Casey. He had been searching out the Merchant ever since his friend had disappeared without so much as a trace. He came upon a resident Evil Merchant for the umpteenth time and smiled in a forced manner. “Displacer?”

“Ah, if it is not Connor. I've heard that you've been looking for me?” The displacer said with an eerie grinas he had already started grabbing random items that would perfectly fit his outfit, that of my Titan character from Destiny 2. Namely, the Coldheart trace rifle and the Sentinel Shield.

“You want to know where your friend Casey is don't you? I can send you there if you want…the price will be some of your memories. Some removals will be temporary some will be permanent… but none of it will be of your friend…” the displacer said with a grin that was anything but pleasant.

Connor nodded and slammed his entire life savings on the table. “Okay, send me off... I miss my friend.”

“Say hi to Chara for me.”

Connor got a pained look “Aww, shit! He’s a Loli isn’t he?!”

“And he's trying to woo over Asriel.” The displacer said his Amusement over 9000.

“Fuuuuuuuuuu-”

Back with our heroes

“-uuuuuuuuuuu *gasp* uuuuuuuuuuuck!”

“Dammit Connor!” Chara yelled out with a smirk on her face as she could only remember one person who would say that upon entry.

Upon that statement being uttered, Connor landed feet first on a Timberwolves skull. He looked to his left as a Timberwolf leapt at him, his body instinctively throwing a burning hammer at it. It clocked him in the head and exploded with extreme heat. “Hoo yeah, take that, bitch!”

“Connor did you search out the displacer?”Chara asks as she heads over to them even as the CMC are unsure what to do about the new guy.

“Less talking! More running!” Asriel shouted as he threw his knife, embedding it into a timberwolf skull.

Connor smiled and drew a purple shield, looking like captain America as he rams his shield into them, causing purple energy particles to envelop them before he threw it, causing it to ricochet into each of them before they blew up, a massive Timberwolf torso flying at Chara Which she cleaved an Twine, covering herself in plant blood and pollen from the odd blue flower that was in the canines belly.

“Poison joke, feh, what's the worst can it turn me into…” Chara whispered shrugging her shoulders although she was upset with her wardrobe being messed up again she had just gotten this green and yellow striped sweater Brown skirt and green socks made after all.

Chu~ a small sneeze escaped Asriel, a poison joke flower head having landed on his nose.

Sweetie Belle frowned “We should get you two to Zecora, fast!”

Scootaloo scoffed “No, you dodo! It has to take effect first! We should get them home before they get any more on them!”

Applebloom frowned with a deadpan.”Hello, the chickens called, they want their chick back.”

“Oh damn! I didn't even think my healing Factor could survive that utter BURN!” Chara says leaning backwards and covering her mouth with a fist.

Connor guffawed “I should make an impossible pinkie promise of some sort. Maybe to defy gravity or something. I’d love to see her react to me pulling it off.”

“Dammit Connor stop thinking with your dick!” Chara yelled out glaring up at him

Connor laughs maniacally “I refuse, child! I shall not do so until thy mind leaves Asriel's pants!” Chara's face blushed a bright red. He then smiles “That reaction was As riel as it gets!” he then had to block the cleaver heading towards his head with his shield, destroying it as a result.

“Why was I fighting Oz again…” Asriel asked no one, horrified that this was his life now.

“Now now azzy it's not that bad that we could become a couple!”Chara said enthusiastically

Connor then cut it “Think of the adorable satyr children!” Then Chara had a horrified look on her face as she thought about having to give birth.

He then whispered into Charas ear “Imagine getting rammed by a goat dick.” Chara immediately blushed as she started thinking about it

“There are kids present you know.” Asriel said, crossing his arms, but smiling.

Connor smiles “What is the age of consent for ponies?”

They frowned in thought. “About sixteen.”

He gestured to them. “Okay, how old are you three?”

They grinned “Thirteen! We can’t wait to get in a herd with Button Mash!”

“Wait herds are a thing!?”Chara yelled out horrified that she might actually have to share asriel.

They nodded “Mostly for ponies, but Gryphons also have flocks, which are similar I heard.”

Connor then smiled evilly. “So, I may search for a Harem… interesting. So very interesting.”

“Damn it, keep it in your pants!” Chara yelled out again once again bringing a cleaver but this time made out of soul energy.

Connor grabbed the handle before throwing it at a tree. It sliced clean through. “Also, stop flirting with poor Azzy, and maybe I won’t tease you. Overflirting is a huge turn off for any guy.”

“Heheh, now I know how Oz felt.” Asriel chuckled.

“Bu-bu-but-”Chara said before being interrupted

“But boots are better blasted by ballistas? I disagree, but anyway, onto PONYVILLE! I pinkie promise that I will defy gravity in front of Sugarcube corner!”

There was a gasp as a Pink blur was seen rushing at them. “HOW DARE YOU TAKE THE SACRED PROMISE IN VAIN?!”

“Pink demon pink demon!”Chara yelled out as she tried to hide herself and asriel behind trees and her own soul energy.

Connor grinned “Cross my heart.”

Pinkie fumes “DON’T DO IT!”

He smiles “Hope to fly!”

She rages. “STOP IT! I AM WARNING YOU!”

He grins “Stick a cupcake in my eye.”

Connor grabs Chara and Asriel, who grabbed the CMC in turn, as they were forcibly dragged at high speed to the front of Sugarcube corner. “DO IT! YOU CAN’T LEAVE THIS SPOT UNTIL YOU DO IT! YOU PINKIE PROMISED!”

Connor chuckles and jumps into the air, and then leapt further from mid air. “There you go, I defied gravity.”

She sits on her haunches and frowns in thought. “You… you were trying to get my attention?”

He nods.

“You want to be friends with me?” She asked hopefully.

He pulled out a certain kind of knot. “I’m, a frayed not.” the smol loli could be seen in the background crying at the horrible puns.

She snorted in laughter before gasping and frowning sadly. “Y-you don’t?”

He shook his head “I want to be your coltfriend.”

“Dammit Connor keep it in your goddamn pants.”

Connor turned to Chara and pointed at her in a single brisk motion. Bringing to mind phoenix wright. “Objection! I reject your request on the terms that I have an intense attraction to this mare!” Pinkie and for some reason Twilight blushed at this, although Twilight seemed… angry, as well. Connor then grinned “Oh, and I assume due to book horses reaction, that they are an item. SO, I humbly request to join their herd as their stallion.”

“I feel a sudden dark presence coming this way…” Chara said suddenly shivering as if the anger of a thousand suns was heading her way.

“Chara… would you mind explaining something for me?” Celestia asked with a bright smile and untold calm.

“Oh hi mama, look one of my friends from a past life showed up!” Chara says brightly shoving Connor in front of her

Connor nodded solemnly “I accept my inevitable fate for requesting to court the book horse and her marefriend the pinkius piecus, Also, PRAISE THE SUN!” He then took the pose, of the knight of sunlight.

Tilting her head, Connor was only lifted off the ground and placed to the side. “That's Twilight’s call.” She said as she looked back to Chara. “Sweetie, honey pie, light of my life…” Celestia said sweetly as she knelt before Chara.

“It has come to my attention that Miss Cheerilee has seen fit to employ Twilight as your private home tutor…”

“I only told her about the internet and not even all of it I left out the part about it having tons and tons of porn... like all of the porn!”Chara yelled out hoping to spare herself from any punishment by saying something

Connor nodded sagely “Dark things down that road. Dark, messed up things.”

A small, midnight blue light had ignited upon the tip of Celestia's horn. For several seconds, all was calm… Until the door was broken down, Luna, eyes aflame with frozen fire standing by the doorframe covered head to hoof in ice and equipped with a steel paddle. Chara was once again behind Connor trying to use him as a shield.

“Doom…” Was all she said, casually casting a spell and causing Chara to pop onto one of her hooves, skirt already down showing her pantied bottom.

Connor nodded sagely to Luna “Doom.”

“No no no no no no no!” Chara said repeatedly like a certain Cleveland Brown from Family Guy.

The cold steel met buttocks in an instant, the echoing sound of the impact cascading outwards for what seemed to be miles.

Connor then leapt to action, running- wait why was he running away? Damn it he just got popcorn! “Doom.”

Soon, the harsh steel rose and fell like an engine’s piston, no strike lesser than the last.

Chara glared at her friend who just had gotten popcorn and watched her get spanked even as tears started to run down her face.

Connor then whispered towards Luna “Don’t go into my dreams, no matter how bad my nightmare, okay? Shit’s fucked up.”

“I’ll be the judge of that…” She replied calmly.

“Mama! please! I'm sorry! please stop!” chara yelled out tears running down her face as she hiccuped from all the crying.

“Promise not to put Asriel in such danger again.” Celestia stated, making sure Luna paused her rearing.

“But it wasn’t me, it was the crusaders!” Chara cries out as she struggles to get free.

Connor nodded “There’s some doom down that road.”

Luna charged a bit of magic in her horn, healing and soothing Chara’s hurt. “Doom.” Was all Luna said as she began to walk away, no doubt to tell Applejack and Rarity of the… Trouble… they were in.

Connor smiles at Chara as he picks her up. “Gettin a paddling? That’s a paddlin.”

“I hate everything so much right now!” Chara yells out as she struggles to get out of Connor's arms.

He summons a hammer of sol and balances it on his hand before looking to Asriel. “Hey, Asriel, wanna learn some Guardian Titan magic?”

“Can't,” The child replied as he waved his fingers. “Lost my magic, but if you can find Oz, he might like to.”

Connor blanked “Wait, like the wizard? What the fuck is Dorothy Anne shit doing here?” Chara burst out laughing at this clutching her sides.

Connor shrugged and looked to Celestia “So… is there a position for a bodyguard for Chara?”

“Nooo.” Chara says out slowly as if trying to avert a disaster.

Connor smiled “It’s the decision, of thine mother, the one who owneth the solar derriere.”

“no no no!” Chara says once again trying to avert a disaster in her opinion.

Connor then wonders aloud. “I wonder how you would have dealt with the Timberwolves I killed. I mean, they were ready to eat you, and Azzy, but… I did destroy them first.”

But before Chara could speak Celestia interrupted,

“I’m sorry, would you repeat that?” Celestia asked of Connor.

Connor smiled “I killed Timberwolves that were ready to attack Chara and Asriel. Made em go BOOM!”

“ You're not special I can do that too!” Chara counter argued.

Connor shrugged “But I did it with style, and zero injuries, too!”

“And you destroyed my Cleaver!” Chara blurted out before covering her mouth with her hands and slowly turning to Celestia.

“So that's why my chef’s favorite cleaver went missing…” Celestia sighed as she started massaging her temples. “Sir Connor? How would you like to earn a weekly salary?” She muttered in annoyance.

“No you can't do this to me!” Chara yelled out.

Connor knelt “All who even speak ill of Chara will know to fear me, and the hammer time I bring.”

“ I don't know whether to laugh or cry…” Chara says massaging her Temple, Chara loved her friend she really did... but her friend was crazy at times.

Connor then raised a brow in thought. “What would my wage be? Minimum wage?”

“Two hundred fifty bits a week, and a small cottage on the outskirts of the town, unless you’d like to board with the troop currently stationed here.” Celestia stated.

Connor smiled “The cottage would be fine, besides, while I am a warrior, I am not military, so… yeah, that’d be just a really bad idea.”

“Here I was hoping to hire you for a mission…” Celestia whispered as she looked away.

Connor grinned “Also, as long as someone is ready to take my place for the duration of it, I will be happy to do a mission on occasion.”

“As a daughter of the crown I say he doesn't get a simple Cottage he gets a full-fledged house with free electricity!” Chara yells out.

Connor took a glass of water from Pinkie, sipped it, and then did a spit take. “Why? I literally just need a bed and a fridge full of food.”

“Standard size, double door, or Prench?” Celestia asked.

“Yes.” Chara says simply.

Connor waved his hands “Hello. I am still corporeal, yes? I am quite happy with modest digs.”

“You're lucky I'm not giving you a mansion and a noble title.” Chara said with a deadpan.

Connor shuddered. “I refuse to accept a noble title, give it to the apples, they settled like, ninety eight percent of equestria, yeah? And helped settle the rest...”

“They like to keep their status ‘hush hush’.” Celestia explained. “But I can give you the title of squire if you’d like to climb the ranks?”

“I like him too.” Asriel commented.

“ I dub you, Squire Connor!” Chara says with a trolling smirk.

Connor smirked as well. “English dub? Nani?”

Celestia tilted her head in confusion. “Yes… Well… I suppose now that all that's been put behind us…”

“ARF!” The sound of a dog’s bark echoed just next to Celestia. Looking down, Celestia found a… dog… nestled in Asriel’s clothes.

Suddenly, there was a baby swaddled in charas clothes, it’s face screaming ‘I’mma shank a bitch.’

It had been a few hours since Chara had been turned into a baby, it was also around this time that Chara found out that she could not talk, Chara's displeasure was soon known due to her wailing as it was the only thing she could do.

What she didn't notice was that Celestia had a book labeled spells for mothers who adopt newborns.

”Now then… you must be starved if your cries are any indicator…” Celestia muttered, looking at the book, and then back to Chara. “Hmm… ah, there it is, no pregnancy lactation!”

Muttering something about teat size, she cast a spell, flinching and nearly dropping Chara in the process.

Chara's stomach Grumble loudly at the site as if to answer Celestia's question whether or not Chara was hungry.

“A-alright… I-I think I can… Handle this…” She said shakily as she sat down upon her bed, revealing her swollen mammaries.

Chara crawled forward reluctantly before latching onto one of the teats and sucking Softly. at first it was a slow squirting little bit by little bit into her mouth before It picked up speed filling her mouth up completely with each suck and with a taste that was simply divine, The Taste itself was of vanilla and bananas, she started to closed her eyes sucking on the Teat of her new mother.

Connor then came in as he was holding baby toys,, he promptly turned and left upon seeing the scene of Chara breastfeeding, and shouted “Begone perverse thoughts!”

“Hmm… this is… So strange and uncomfortable…especially after Sir connors entry and prompt exit… going to have to fix that problem later...” Celestia said as she winced. Closing her eyes, Celestia did her best to relax, allowing her child to savor her meal. A few minutes later Chara crawled out from under Celestia and reached up for her, Chara's belly full of milk.

the diaper Chara was wearing was keeping her legs spread apart as she crawled up to her new mother.

Smiling, Celestia took Chara in her grasp and placed her upon a shoulder, gently rubbing her back. “Now, if I do this right… you should burp…”

Chara let loose a small burp as she hugged into Celestia neck. Chara started having tears in her eyes as the humiliation of being a baby again had started to sink in.

Nuzzling into the child, Celestia began to hum a simple melody, rocking back and forth in slow rhythmic fashion. “Shh… It's alright… Everything’s going to be alright now…”

Chara fought to stay awake as she had only been up for a few hours but the rocking and humming was soothing and it felt like a losing battle, Chara let out a yawn her body relaxing due to her feeling safe and protected.

Grinning, Celestia made her way out, Chara gently nestled upon her neck, and held gently with her mane. “This shouldn't be so hard…”

Unfortunately, she realized that many grievances and the like had been piling up since her absence the day prior…

Pouting, but resolute, she made her way to the throne room… ready to face the challenges of the day. But as soon as Chara realized they were not hidden away in Celestia's bedroom Chara tried to hide her still deeply in Celestia's mane not wanting to be seen.

“And for the love of all that is good in the world… SHUT THAT THING UP!!”

Day court had begun to devolve into a cacophony of shouts and wails, despite that everything had begun rather well… at least until one of the nobles had come in acting just a tad more demanding... And the reason Chara was being so loud was because she had soiled her diaper and she only had one way to notify people that something was wrong.

“Shh… It's alright… I just came a little unprepared is all…” Celestia cooed, a guard running in had begun to catch his breath as he held out a pink duffle bag.

“I’ve got… hahhh… I brought the…” Poor thing fell flat on his face, the bag falling, but being caught in Celestia's magic.

“Are you serious!?” The noble shouted. “There are pressing matters to attend to and you’re ignoring them for that oversized rat!?”

The room had risen in temperature, Celestia’s glare shutting the rather rude pony up.as an extremely Irate Connor came into the room,kicking it open as he held a flaming warhammer. “WHO THE FUCK SPOKE ILL OF MY CHARGE!?”

“She is my daughter,” Celestia stated as her magic began to float Chara up, as well as the bag, various items being taken out. “You will show her far more respect than you seem to be giving me,” Celestia thusly began to work on Chara’s diaper, carefully removing it before cleaning. “Or you may leave…” Once replaced with a fresh set, the dirty diaper was incinerated.

The noble pony for his part, found that the floor was just a little wet where he stood. Giggling broke the silence as Chara was still floating in the air next to Celestia and found it fun.

“Now, your grievance?” Celestia asked, her cold eyes boring into the stallion’s skull.

Scrambling, and nearly tripping on his own waste, the noble started to run away. “I believe I can fix the problem on my own!!” He shouted as he left. chara just continued giggling floating next to her momma.

Connor glared at the assembled nobles and grinned malevolently. “Anybody else care to threaten, or insult my charge? Come on, it’s an open court, I’ll just smack you around a little.”

The sound of trickling liquid seemed to echo throughout the room, hot tea having been poured into three separate cups.

Luna, Celestia, and Baby Chara had sat themselves around a rather small and hot pink coffee table, a nice silver platter sat in the middle of the table, every inch covered in layers of soft chocolate biscuits and tiny tea cakes.

Luna was wearing a rather gothic black and white Victorian style dress, black lace boots, and an eyepatch covered her left eye adorned with an ‘X’.

Celestia had a pure white and frilled dress with slippers colored to her mane style and a tiny white top hat laced with baby blue ribbon sat nestled next to her horn.

Chara had a similar dress to Celestia’s except it was pink and she had a little Tiara instead of a top hat.

Connor was dutifully dressed as a butler, serving the drinks and treats to all present.

“Sister… I know how important being a mother is to you… but did we really need a tea party?” Luna asked.

“Nonsense Lulu, you love tea parties!” Celestia teased.

Daintily, Luna took a sip of her tea. “I must admit, your choice is impeccable as ever.” Curiously, she took a cake and popped it into her mouth, a smile forming on her muzzle. Chara on the other hand looked thoroughly un-amused as she tugged on her dress as if trying to make it cover more.

Noticing her child’s discomfort, Celestia placed a hoof on Chara’s head. “Is… there something wrong?”

Chara nodded her head surprising the two alicorns as they had thought she had been reverted to an infant completely both in mind and body.

Smoothing her hoof over Chara’s head, Celestia took the child in her magic and began to cradle her. “May I ask what?” She asked, gently rocking the child back and forth.

Chara looked at her unamused as she was unable to talk due to the fact that her body was that of an infant.

“She can't talk, Tia.” Luna stated, throwing a cookie at her sister.

Flinching from the impact of the treat, Celestia looked at her child just a bit more critically. “Is there any way you can… show me?” She asked more than a little unsure.

Chara nodded her head before pointing to the wooden alphabet blocks in the corner, Chara was soon given the blocks and she spelled out ‘I am a baby’.

Celestia actually looked hurt, tears forming in her eyes. “I… I’m sorry… I’ve… failed to recognize your discomfort in all of this…” She brought Chara in closer, nuzzling the child in her grasp. “But… but maybe while we work to… t-turn you back…” Her voice began to crack as her words almost seemed stuck in her throat. “C-could you… be my baby… just a while lon-lo-longer?”

Chara looked up at Celestia with guilt hidden in her eyes before she slowly nodded her head,and really she didn't have any other choice as the poison joke had made it where she had the body of an infant with all of the control of one.

Smiling as best she could, Celestia nestled Chara deeper into her embrace, the tears she had shed staining the child’s garments.

Chara hugs back not knowing what else to do although the the tears staining her garment made it a tad bit uncomfortable for her.

“Soo… am I the only one going to eat these?” Luna asked, actually poking her sister on the horn.

Celestia and Luna had decided that it was a good day for a stroll, even amount of clouds in the sky, pleasant breeze…

As such, the trio of Celestia, Luna, and Baby Chara were out and about at one of the public parks within Canterlot.

Luna had decided to tie up her ethereal mane into a side ponytail, wearing a dark blue tee shirt that read “Blame My Sister” and a pair of baby blue yoga pants. She casually popped a bubble of gum she had been working on as she walked carelessly.

Celestia had decided upon a white and pale yellow trimmed sun dress, a pair of white rimmed sunglasses, and a pearl white long brimmed hat adorned with a sunflower.

Connor, for some reason, was out in his armor, it seemed that he hated wearing anything other than his armor, and only felt comfy in them.

Sitting in a rather sizeable and solidly built white baby stroller was Chara, wearing what was practically a baby princess dress. The puffy top was a vibrant pink, it's shoulders seemed oversized and were accentuated with red frills. On its neck sat a shining red gemstone shaped into a heart. She was given a pair of equally outrageously puffy bloomers colored a rosy pink.

Chara's expression screamed ‘I hate everything about this’ as she once again tried to take off her baby clothes.

“Tia? I don't think she's comfortable.” Luna stated, glancing at the writhing baby.

“Nonsense Lulu, those garments are made from the smoothest and softest silks in the kingdom!” Celestia replied happily. “Who’s my little troublemaker~” Celestia started to coo as she started to nuzzle Chara’s cheek. Chara was halfway to getting the Bloomers off when she was nuzzled by Celestia.

“Oh!” Celestia exclaimed. “It's a good thing I checked up on you, your clothing is falling off!” Happily, she reset the bloomers and fastened the garment’s knot, tighter than it was before.

Chara started messing with the knot trying to undo it so she could once again try to take this awful outfit off.

Connor, who was chuckling silently until now, frowned at how far this was going. “Umm… Princess? I think we should put her in normal clothes, not… girly frilly things, remember, it’s still Chara in there, and she HATES frilly things.”

“Does she? I… didn’t know…” Celestia looked beside herself, obviously ashamed of what she's put Chara through. Picking up the child, she looked desperately into her baby’s eyes. “Are you… Uncomfortable?” She asked as tears began to form in her eyes. Chara hugged her nose, unable to take the guilt.

Connor then sighed “Dang it Chara, don’t let the desire to please your new mom overshadow that your not happy! You HATE anything frilly on you! You DETEST being helpless, I may work for Celly, but my job is to ensure your happy and healthy, being under the influence of Poison Joke and miserable is NOT what I can allow. Now why don’t we ask Twilight if she has any books on how to fix this? I mean, the girl has books on reading books.”

Chara, unable to sadden her mother, stayed silent…

Connor then grunted and walked off. “I’m talking to Twilight then.”

“Wait!” Celestia cried. “Let me talk to Twilight.” She then placed Chara on Luna’s back. “This… Shouldn't take too long…”

Chara was unhappy with Celestia not taking her but with a quick burst of wind, Celestia was gone.

Luna popped another bubble as she went back to chewing her gum. “Hmm, I doubt Twilight knows how to fix this, I mean, I love the mare, but even she can't have all the answers.” She said almost bored.

Chara was oddly quiet at this as Connor shrugged “Seems I’m fuck outta luck, I might be able to potentially court Twilight and Pinkie, but you as well? Fat chances for me, I have the royal decorum of a mud pie. Anyway, as to the cure, the Title of the book is ‘Supernaturals. Natural remedies that are simply super.” I saw the book in the library.”

Luna looked at Connor as if he grew a second head. “That dusty old thing? I thought it was just an overblown paperweight.”

Connor shrugged “I was looking for anything that had the words ‘natural remedy’ as those often pose little threat to babies. Turns out a certain type of herbal bath is all it takes.”

“Well I coulda told ya that.” A voice spoke up. Said voice coming from a floating goat skull. “I wasn't here.” It said before dropping a package at Luna’s feet before diving into a rift.

“Oz wait!” Luna shouted as she ran after the skull, stopping as the rift had closed. Huffing, the lunar princess picked up the package. “Joke remedy?”

Connor shrugged “Probably the bath herbs.” He pinched the bridge of his nose before letting out an exasperated sigh. “Seems it should be just about time for me to head home… I’m getting close to passing out… didn’t think I stayed up that long, must be the stress.” Baby Chara grabbed at Connor, who smiled weakly “Don’t worry, buddy, I’ll be fine, not my first night terror, won’t be my last…”

“I will be there.” Luna declared, quite obvious there was no room for an argument. Thankfully, Celestia had decided to descend, a large book in her grasp.

“Twilight gave me-”

“A book of natural remedies, yes?” Luna asked as she held the package. “We don't have the instructions, but we have the ingredients.”

“Which means it's bath time…” Celestia did her best to smile, but the untold grief about her was palpable. Chara reached up for Celestia unable to let her be sad, Chara had an expression that said ‘please don't be sad’.

The trip back to the castle was taken in silence, upon entering the castle, Celestia had given her guards the instruction to NOT disturb her or Luna for the remainder of the day. News of the Princess’ depressed demeanor spread like wildfire, some guards even flinched at her passing presence.

“Tia, what's wrong?” Luna asked as they finally reached Celestia’s room. “You’ve been sulking since we left.”

“It's nothing.” She replied with a dead tone, her eyes having dulled and her mane having gone still.

Rolling her eyes, Luna found her way to the bathroom and started to draw water into the massive gold lined marble tub. “You know, Oz came by.” She said idly, actually getting Celestia's attention.

“My son!?” She said without forethought. Smoothing her features, she turned her mind back to the task at hand. “No… Chara comes first… my little boy can take care of himself…”

Smiling weakly, Celestia took little Chara out of her stroller and began undressing the child, humming a saddened melody that echoed in the same tragic loss a dirge would.

Chara kept trying to hug Celestia every chance she got to make sure that Celestia knew she didn't want her sad.

Celestia for her part only nuzzled the child, her smile never seeming to grow from what it was. “Shh… It's alright… Everyone leaves home I suppose… and I will always have today to cherish…”

“Sister,” Luna called out as she peeked from the doorframe. “She's still a child, and she still needs a mother. Where in this wide world is she going to go?”

Celestia sniffed, actually laughing at herself. “Yes… I suppose I have been a tad foolish,” She then picked Chara up with her magic, the gleam in Celestia’s eyes having regained a smidgen of their lost luster.

“Shall we?”

The assembled room of villains was, in short, bustling at the new information.

“She can call others from across the aether! That little pupa can call up things the likes of which would only dwell in our darkest dreams! We must send her back before she calls something that would render our world uninhabitable!” The swarm shouted, terrified at the prospect of her power.

The Griffons were the next to reply. “Forget sending it back, with that level of power, we should kill the thing before it can get any stronger! It already made an ally of the princesses, and the elements of harmony! By tartarus, they have adopted the boreas damn thing!”

The ponies smiled evilly. “By all means, out yourself as a traitor to your kingdom and a seeker of war with the ponies. We will simply withdraw all the support we have given you and your people over the years, and anonymously turn in the various illegal deals you have made, IN WRITING.”

The griffons slumped down and frowned “How are we supposed to solve this issue then? Just let it live a life of luxury at our expense?”

The ponies chuckled at this. “We simply give it a command. If it somehow manages to refuse, we have some… extra purchases… to weaken it before we attempt to order it again.”

The swarm buzzed unhappily. “The guard that the creature brought forth… it’s light is… dangerous. A scout we sent to survey the new being was made violently ill upon trying to siphon any affection from him, it was as if he were… holy, in some way.” They buzzed with rising unease. “How is it that so dark a creature calls a holy warrior brother? And in such fondness?”

The ponies pulled out a scroll and channelled magic into it, smiling as a pair of glowing, fiery golden eyes illuminated the shadows in the far corner of the room. “Yes, bossy boys?”

They all seemed to wither at his gaze, as if fearing angering him. Except for the ponies, for some reason. “The new paladin, and the monster that calls him brother… what are they?”

The eyes laughed with an amused glee. “Oh, You mean those two?” an image of the two of them, the guardian and the demon, flickered into view. “They are… them, yet not, this, but that, tit, and also tat.”

The groups frowned at this, some confused, but the hive gasped almost instantly. “These are not their original selves?”

The ponies frowned “What do you mean, creature? We summoned it nigh exactly as designed!”

The eyes were joined by a biohazard green grin, marred by crimson red teeth. “Nigh, exactly. the slightest change, the slightest shift, and all the plans start to drift! The day you summoned, I do declare, turned one man's day from foul to fair!”

The swarm looks to The eyes incredulously “Man? What in the swarms name is a man?”

The eyes grinned wider. “The true question, my dear bug, is just how many graves for you all, have been dug?”

The entire group shifted uncomfortably. Before any could speak, the eyes and mouth laughed madly “Mayhaps, my dears, to aleve your fears, my brother and I, should go and spy?”

The ponies nodded “Very well, we command thee to go and learn as much about them as possible, and once you learn all you can, ensure that they are no threat to us.”

The face grinned “Indeed, good sir, I shall go, for I shall ensure there is no foe!”

The swarm frowns “He seems a bit too happy to obey… It is suspicious…”

The ponies chuckle “Ah, we have him bound in a summoners contract, for the promise of freedom, he is to protect our family lines for all time.”

The griffons frowned as they looked to each other. “A being such as he… to bind him is to dance with death itself.”

The ponies smiled “And yet, it is so lucrative.”
