After a little accident in Zecora's hut, Rainbow Dash suddenly has her brain converted into a foal's. The spell lasts 48 hours so Twilight and her friend will have to take care of her and prevent her from getting into mischief.

After getting a little crazy mini celebration in Zecora's hut for her act of kindness (or superheroes, in Rainbow Dash's case), a potion accidentally landed on Rainbow's head, causing her to act and sound like a foal. Will Twilight and her friends be able to foalsit her properly, for 48 hours, without breaking a sweat?

The Accident

Author's Note

HI! Thanks for checking out my first fanfiction! It's super weird, I know, but it's my younger sister's idea. I dunno when second chapter will be out because I have school and all but hopefully it'll be out soon!
I couldn't upload the cover art I made so it'll have to do without :(

ENJOY! :D

The Accident

"Now your book is good as new! Just when you leave, be--"

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOOUU!!!" Twilight roared into Zecora's ear.

Then with a swift of telekinesis, she grabbed the book off Zecora's hoof and squeezed it hard like she squeezes her BBBFF, AKA Shining Armor. By her side, Applejack and Rainbow Dash, whom Twilight has no idea why they decided to tag along, snickered as quiet as they could muster.

Then they wandered off, browsing all the amazing and super potions Zecora had, before Twilight could hear them. Who knew a zebra with a simple small hut could have such a vast range of astonishing potions with amazing abilities? thought Rainbow. That's, like, so AWESOME!!

Suddenly, a familiar, high-pitched cheeky voice appeared out of nowhere. "WOOOW!! Zecora's, like, some kind of SUPERHERO!!"

All 3 ponies and zebra jumped. Pinkie, somehow popping a head out of one of Zecora's baskets with magic petals, turned a bottle on her hoof and read out loud: "'Foal Again. This potion gives you a brain of a foal for 48 hours'. THAT'S SOOO MAGICAL!!!!" she then screamed, just as Zecora snatched the bottle off and placed it on top of another shelf.

"Yes, magical indeed, but who knows? It could lead to jeopardous results! I can't take the liability of anypony getting lacerated! Twilight screeched. Everypony and zebra stared at her with a confused expression.

Applejack was the first to pipe up "Say what?"

"Let's.. just go home. Thanks for all your kindness and help, Zecora. Come on everypony, let's go." They all waved goodbye to Zecora and left.

"Didn't that potion that Pinkie read sound so COOL?!" Rainbow questioned loudly.

"Yes, it is nice but what if--" Twilight began.

"Don't you start being so afraid all the time! At least be positive!" Twilight just sighed. "I mean, I know Zecora's some zebra with super awesome potions that do astonishing things but I didn't know she had one that converts your BRAIN into a FOAL'S! Isn't that magnificent?!" Rainbow rambled on, flying into a loop and crashing into a tree branch.

"Anyway, let's quickly get home before it gets dark!" Twilight said, glancing at the sky.

Rainbow peeled her face off the branch, two leaves on top of her mouth like a moustache. "Totally. I NEED SLEEP!"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH was the noise Twilight woke up to in the morning. She removed her face off her pillow, looking more tired than she ever looked before. She had to stay up late last night because the library looked as if it exploded but without damage. Apparently Spike was given the job to take care of Fluttershy's animals while she was away but they got into mischief, escaped Fluttershy's hut and burst into here. The poor baby dragon was EXHAUSTED. He's still asleep, even after that scream that possibly startled the town awake.

Twilight rolled over on her bed and looked out the window, checking to see what trouble has occurred. Ponyville looked peaceful and beautiful as a bright sun splashed light in every corner. Nothing looked wrong. In the corner she saw a pegasus munching madly on a doughnut whilst soaring through the sky.

Just as the half asleep lavender unicorn tucked up to doze off again, ignoring whatever might be going on outside, a certain blue pegasus with a rainbow mane burst through her door and smashed into the bookcases, all the books toppling on top of her. This frightened the life out of Twilight and she fell and banged on to the floor. "SERIOUSLY?! I JUST TIDIED THAT LATE LAST NIGHT!!" yelled Twilight.

Ignoring the unicorn's very rude welcome, Rainbow Dash poked her head out of the pile and started screaming "MYNEWESTDARINGDOBOOKISRIPPEDANDDAMAGEDANDINEEDYOURHELPTOFIXIT!!!"

Twilight shook her head "What the who the where? WHAT'S GOING ON?" Not bothering to repeat her description of the scenario, Rainbow just held up her Daring Do book.

Twilight gasped hard until her lungs were tiny. She could NOT believe her eyes. The front cover was ripped in half and many pages inside were either scrunched up or chewed on the edges. The back cover was no longer existent. "What...happened...to it?"

"Well, you see, I was reading it and re-enacting the scenes when I accidentally dropped it, and you see, books don't stay on clouds, so it fell through. It ended up in a park and it took me forever to find it because some dog was messing with it and it ended up being stuck in some bush. The book, not the dog. And.. you know the rest."

It took Twilight no longer than half a second to realise the solution. "Let's take it to Zecora. Remember her book restoring potion? She can use it on your book as she did on my book!"

Rainbow Dash suddenly had a huge victorious grin slapped across her face. "Yes!! Oh, THANK YOU TWILIGHT!!" she hollered, flying up to give Twilight a huge hug.

"Now come on! Let's go."

Once Dash's book was mended, her smile was vitally huge. She was then bouncing up and down like Pinkie all of a sudden and was squealing. Again, out of the same basket, Pinkie Pie's head popped out as she whooped "HOORAY!! Zecora did it again! She helped another pony in need with her WOW potions! She's AWESOME!" Then the crazy pink party pony also began bouncing up and down. Zecora and Twilight just shook their heads.

Five seconds later, a bottle on Pinkie's shelf fell off from all the mad bouncing. Twilight was too late to realise this and thus couldn't save it. It landed with a CRASH. On top of Rainbow's head. She very abruptly stopped. Her eyes were blank. The contents were dripping off her mane. Then THUD! The pegasus collapsed.

Twilight, Pinkie and Zecora gasped and rushed over to her. "Is she OK? Will she be OK? Oh PLEASE let her be OK!!" Twilight shouted to the zebra, near tears. She glared at Pinkie, who slightly blushed in embarrassment. Rainbow's eyes slightly opened and her pupils shrank at the sight of terrified ponies and zebra.

Then she burst into a series of crying, her voice sounding like a foal's.

Some chapter

"Do you think she's... ill?" Fluttershy whispered to Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie as they watched this out-of-character Rainbow Dash climb up Twilight's bookshelf and end up falling off, wailing.

Twilight and Zecora just rushed into Twilight's library, dropped her off and left whilst screaming "BE SURE TO TAKE CARE OF HEEEER!"

She never even explained what's going on, just was galloping out.

"No.... well, I don't think so," Pinkie answered. "We were at Zecora's hut and I ACCIDENTALLY. Let me repeat. ACC-ID-EN-TA-LLY. Caused a potion to fall on her head," she then fiercely looked at Fluttershy and growled "AND I DIDN'T MEAN FOR IT TO HAPPEN, YOU HEAR?! IT WAS ALL AN ACCIDENT!!"

"Eep..." Fluttershy squeaked, curling up into a small ball.

"Yes, yes, we believe you, dear," Rarity said, pushing a very weird Pinkie further away from a squeaking Fluttershy, "Let's just hope Twilight and Zecora get here sooner." Then all the ponies continued watching their blue peagasus friend try bite into a book as if it was mistaken for a sandwich. "No no, darling. Books aren't food!" Rarity informed Rainbow, running over to her and trying to snatch off the book. Rainbow stared at her for a couple of seconds, before crying again.

"Has anypony noticed her cries sound... like a foal's?" Applejack questioned. All the ponies nodded. "Pinkie, are you sure the potion you dropped on her head--"

"BY ACCIDENT!!" Pinkie interrupted, growling.

"By accident," Applejack added, rolling her eyes, "isn't that foal again potion you read out yesterday?"

Pinkie tapped her chin, thinking hard. "There IS a possible chance, but I didn't see the label when it dropped. BY ACCIDENT,"

It was getting dark already, and the sun's rays were at the very edge of Equestria. All the ponies glanced worriedly at each other then at the library door, wondering when Twilight will get home. When the doorknob turned, all the ponies suddenly broke into huge grins of relief, finally happy to see Twilight was back. But when the door opened, not Twilight nor Zecora was standing behind it, but the one and only baby dragon, Spike! "Hey guys," he said in a muffled voice, his mouth filled with strawberry ice cream and crystals. He waddled in, holding 4 tubs of those. The mare's smiles vanished. Where was Twilight? As the sun vanished completely from the horizon, everypony was getting scared.

Rarity was the first to speak after a long, dreaded silence. "Spike, dear, do you know where Twilight is? And when she'll get back?"

Spike gulped hard on his ice-cream and stuck another spoonful in his mouth. "Dunno. She'f been to Zecofa'f hut--"

"We know," Pinkie piped up.

"Ven she tod me to fop eatin' too much deset becuz I tod her I waf goin' to get more, ven she juf weft!" Spike explained, having difficulty talking properly because of all the ice-cream. "But I wen to get more awyway."

"Is that all you know?" Applejack asked. Spike nodded just as Rainbow Dash leaped on top of him. All the mares' shoulders slumped.

Then suddenly Twilight slammed through the door, causing everypony and dragon to jump. Rainbow whimpered, about to cry again. Twilight rushed over to her. I can't believe I have to do this, Twilight thought, took a deep breath and said in a sweet voice "Don't worry sweetheart, I'm here," then she picked Rainbow up with her magic "Sshhhh, that's a good girl."

Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie tried their best to stop a barrel of laughter from being opened. For Fluttershy, the sight was disturbing. Spike just treated this like the cinema, eating ice-cream while sitting cross-legged. When Twilight glanced at her friends' reactions, her purple face turned red. "What?! The foal again potion dro--"

"We know," Rarity and Applejack said in unison.

"Pinkie explained what happened," Fluttershy continued on.

"Yeah, so there's no need to act like that!" the lavender unicorn shouted. Rainbow must have sensed Twilight was upset because then she started growling angrily at the ponies. Fluttershy 'eeped' and hid behind Applejack. Pinkie just giggled at everything that as happening, and Rarity took a step back, like there was a raging wild dog in front of her.

Twilight took a deep breath and said quietly "Let's just try our best to look after her. For two. Whole. Days. I feel this is going to be difficult."

"It probably is!" Pinkie shrieked "I've already had enough mayhem with the Cake's babies, so I know what it may be like."

"But we're a team," Twilight continued, looking up and smiled at her friends "So we'll help each other overcome the obstacles!"

Twilight yawned. "Welp, time to get some sleep. Big day ahead of us!"

When all her friends left, Twilight teleported her and Rainbow into bed, too tired to walk up the stairs, and collapsed onto her pillow. She tucked Rainbow in too.

"Sweet dreams, Rainbow."

"GA GA!"
