Well, no rest for the weary. I still need to finish my designs for the fall line.” Rarity was about to head upstairs to her private workshop when she heard a knock at her door. “I’m sorry, but we’re closed.” Rarity called out to whomever was at the door. “I need your help!” The pony yelled through the door. “I’ve lost my foal!” Being the element of generosity, Rarity could never say no to a pony in need. Especially a pony who had lost their child. Rarity dashed to the door, unlocking and opening it as fast as she could. On the other side stood a unicorn mare with a neon pink coat, a neon green mane and tail, and a foal bottle for a cutie mark. “You poor thing! Come inside.” Rarity escorted the mare into the boutique, sitting her down on the couch. “Perhaps I can help you. What does your foal look like?” The mare sniffed and wiped away a tear. “Well, she’s only a month old. Still in diapers. She has white coat and a purple mane and tail.” Rarity began to feel uneasy. The foal the mare had just described sounded exactly like herself. “Um, I don’t believe I caught your name miss?” At that moment, the mare stopped crying and smiled. She turned and faced Rarity with a crazed look in her eyes. “You can call me Mama!” Before Rarity could react, there was a bright flash of magic from the mare’s horn and then everything went dark. The next day, Sweetie Belle sat outside of the schoolhouse. She was then approached by her two best friends, Scootaloo and Applebloom. “Hey Sweetie Belle, what are you sitting around for? School is over.” Said Applebloom. Sweetie Belle faced her friends. “Rarity was supposed to pick me up after school so I could model some dresses for her, but she never showed up.” “Maybe she’s just really busy with her work and forgot.” Scootaloo said. Sweetie Belle stood up. She had a grumpy look on her face. “Ugh, Rarity is always doing this! She promises something with me and then she forgets! I am going right over to her boutique to give her a piece of my mind!” Sweetie Belle then took off with Scootaloo and Applebloom following close behind. When the trio reached Carousel Boutique, they found the front door to be wide open. Sweetie Belle stepped inside and called out for her sister. “Rarity? Are you home?” Sweetie Belle became worried when there was no response. She searched through the entire building, but Rarity wasn’t there. “Maybe she’s at Twilight’s friendship school teaching a class.” Scootaloo suggested. “Good thinking Scoots! Let’s go!” Sweetie said. The three fillies then trotted of to Twilight’s school of friendship. They arrived and headed straight for Twilight’s office. “Hello girls. How can I help you today?” Twilight asked. “We’re looking for Rarity. Is she here?” Applebloom asked. Twilight thought for a moment. “Actually no. In fact, I haven’t seen her all day. Isn’t she over at Carousel Boutique?” “No, we just came from there. The place is empty.” Said Scootaloo. Twilight got up from her desk. “That’s odd. It’s not like Rarity to just up and leave without telling any pony.” “Do you think she’s in trouble?” Sweetie Belle asked with a worried tone of voice. Twilight walked over and put a hoof on her shoulder. “Rarity is tougher than she looks. We will find her safe and sound. I guarantee it.” Meanwhile, Rarity was just regaining consciousness. She looked around and found herself in a room with yellow walls that had teddy bears, choo choo trains, and other toys painted on them. The floor was covered in a soft, plush carpet. Rarity spotted a changing table up against the wall. She also noticed that she was in a playpen filled with toys. Rarity moved and heard a crinkly sound. She looked down to see a diaper strapped to her bottom that was so thick it caused her to wobble. Rarity examined her body. It was short and chubby. Rarity finally noticed a mirror next to the door. She crawled to the edge of the playpen and was shocked at what she saw. “I a foaw!” She shouted. At that moment, the strange mare from earlier opened the door and came into the room. She looked down at Rarity and smiled. “Aww, did Mama’s little filly enjoy her nap?” “Wat did u do to me?!” Rarity yelled as she bounced up and down on her diaper. “My, my. Is my little filly cranky? Does she need some num nums?” Mama then picked up a foal bottle with her magic and put it in Rarity’s mouth. Rarity tried to pull the bottle out but Mama held it in place, forcing Rarity to gulp down the formula within. Once the bottle was empty, Mama removed it from Rarity’s mouth. She then patted Rarity on the back to make her burp. “Did Mama’s special foal get enough?” Rarity wriggled her body to try and free herself from Mama’s hooves. “U cwazy!” Rarity’s diaper then bulged, and a foul odor filled the room. “It looks a certain filly just made a stinky!” Mama cooed. She took Rarity over to the changing station and laid her down. Rarity blushed with embarrassment. Mama removed and threw out the filthy diaper. She then wiped down Rarity, put foal powder on her, and strapped her into a clean one. “There! All nice and clean!” Mama then blew a raspberry onto Rarity’s tummy. Rarity could not help but laugh and wave around her chubby little hooves. Mama picked up Rarity and returned her to the playpen. “Now you just sit tight and play with your toys. Mama will be right back with some brothers and sisters for you!” “No! I won’t wet u foalnap anymowe ponies!” Rarity tried to use her magic, but the only thing that came out of her horn were sparks. Mama simply giggled and patted Rarity on the head. “You silly filly! You’re far too young to use any magic!” Mama turned to leave the room. When she reached the door, Mama stopped in her tracks. “Oh, just one more thing. If you try to escape-” Mama then turned her head to face Rarity. Her eyes were glowing bright red. “Mama will be VERY angry!” Mama then left, slamming the door behind her. Rarity slumped down, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Wat am I gonna do?” Have you seen my foal?Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo all waited in Twilight’s office as she contacted Rarity’s other two stores to see if Rarity was at either of them. After sending out magic messages and getting replies from Coco Pommel and Sassy Saddles, Twilight walked over and spoke to the trio. “I’m sorry girls. I’ve contacted both Canterlot Boutique and Rarity for you, and neither Coco Pommel or Sassy Saddles has seen Rarity.” Sweetie Belle slunk down and hung her head. “She has to be somewhere!” Sweetie said, trying to hold back her tears. Applebloom and Scootaloo stood by their friend. “Don’t worry Sweetie Belle.” Applebloom said. “We’ll find your sister, no matter what. After all, we are the cutie mark crusaders!” Twilight gently lifted Sweetie Belle’s chin. “Your friends are right. Just look at how much good you three have done already. I promise that we won’t rest until Rarity is found.” Sweetie Belle looked up at Twilight. “Really?” Twilight smiled and nodded her head. “Yes. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!” Scootaloo and Applebloom repeated the same gesture. Sweetie Belle smiled as she wiped away a single tear from her face. “Thanks you guys.” “I suggest we split up.” Scootaloo said. “We can cover more ground that way.” Twilight agreed. “You three ask around town. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and I will ask around the other half of town. We’ll meet up at my castle afterwards.” The cutie mark crusaders then headed out into Ponyville to find Rarity. Twilight went to gather her friends and search the other half of Ponyville. Over at Sweet Apple Acres, Big Mac was busy bucking apples along with his usual chores. This time however, he was approached by a mare with a worried look on her face. “Excuse me sir, but can you help me?” The mare asked. “Eyup.” Big Mac replied. “Oh good. Have you seen my foal? I’m afraid I’ve lost him.” Big Mac thought for a second. “Nope.” A creepy smile spread across the mare’s face. “That’s alright. I’ll just take you home instead.” Before Big Mac could react the mare blasted him with her magic, turning him into a month old foal. Big Mac landed on the ground with a slight bounce, then he broke out crying. The mare picked him up and rubbed his back to calm him down. “Shh, it’s alright. Mama’s here to make things all better.” Back over at Mama’s place, Rarity had managed to unlock the playpen gate. She then began stacking toys against the door, building a tower towards the door knob. Rarity climbed the tower and just barely reached the door knob by standing up on her hind hooves. Just as Rarity got her front hooves on the door knob, Mama returned home. Mama opened the door, knocking over the tower of toys. Rarity clung to the door knob with all of her little might. Mama was shocked at first, then her face took on an angry look. She turned and stared at Rarity. Rarity made a nervous giggle. Mama used her magic to pick up Rarity by the waistband of her diaper. After placing Big Mac in the playpen and re-locking it, she held Rarity with her hooves and sat down. “Mama warned you not to try and leave. But did you listen? Now you must be punished!” Mama bent Rarity over on her lap and pulled down her diaper. Mama then repeatedly spanked Rarity’s bottom. Rarity cried louder and louder with each strike, but Mama kept going until Rarity’s bottom was bright red. When the punishment was over, Mama returned Rarity to the playpen. “Have we learned our lesson about trying to escape?” Mama said in a sweet, loving voice. Rarity rubbed her sore bottom and nodded yes. Mama patted her on the head. “Very good! Now you place nice with your new brother while I get supper ready, okay?” Mama then left the room, locking the playpen gate with a magic spell before she left. Big Mac was shaking with fear. “Wats going on Wawity?” Rarity rubbed her eyes and sniffled. “Dat *sob* big meanie tuwned us into foaws and foawnapped us!” Big Mac crawled over to Rarity and gave her a hug. “Don’t wowwy, I’m suwe ouw fwiends awe out wooking fow us wight now!” Rarity wiped away her tears and smiled. “I hope tey find us soon.” As the day came to an end, the cutie mark crusaders headed over to Twilight’s castle. “I can’t believe it.” Sweetie Belle said. “We searched practically the whole town, and not one pony has seen Rarity!” Scootaloo looked over at Sweetie Belle. “Don’t worry Sweetie. Twilight and her friends must have found out something.” After arriving at Twilight’s castle, the three fillies went straight to the cutie map room. They were surprised however, to see Granny Smith consulting Applejack. “Granny? What are you doing here?” Asked Applebloom. Applejack ran up and hugged her little sister. “Oh Applebloom! I just got the news from Granny Smith. Big Mac is missing!” “WHAT?!” All three fillies shouted in unison. “He was supposed to help me clean the house after bucking apples this morning, but he never showed up.” Granny Smith explained. “I searched the entire farm, and there is no trace of him.” “First Rarity and now Big Mac? This is getting serious.” Said Twilight. “Do you think we should contact Celestia for help?” Fluttershy asked. Twilight shook her head. “No. The last thing I want to do is cause a panic in town by bringing in the royal guard.” “We should at least inform Mayor Mare about the situation.” Applejack said. “Agreed. Rainbow Dash, can you gather the wonderbolts to help search by air?” Twilight asked. “Not a problem!” Rainbow Dash said with a salute. While the other ponies were talking, Scootaloo spoke with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. “Girls, I think we may have a serial foalnapper on our hooves.” “But what else can we do?” Said Sweetie Belle. “We’ve already checked all over town.” Scootaloo then had an idea. “We can check the Everfree forest! I bet Zecora must have seen something.” “But what about Applejack?” Applebloom asked. “You all know how overprotective she is. Now that Big Mac is missing, she’ll never let us out of her sight.” “Then we’ll just have to sneak out and not tell any pony.” Said Sweetie Belle. “Rarity and Big Mac could be in great danger, and we’re probably the only ponies who can help them.” “Then it’s settled.” Scootaloo said. “Tonight we’ll all sneak out of our homes and meet up at the edge of the Everfree to begin our search.” Meanwhile, at Mama’s hideout Rarity and Big Mac both tried to play with the toys in the playpen. Big Mac pick up a ball and rolled it toward Rarity, but Rarity just let it bounce off of her. “Don’t u wanna pway?” Big Mac asked. Rarity stared at Big Mac with a grumpy look on her face. “How can I? An evil witch has tuwned me into a foaw and she’s howding me against my wiww! We need to find anothew way out.” Big Mac suddenly became very scared. “Da wast time u twied to escape, u got da spankies! Who knows what else she wiww do!” Rarity rolled her eyes. “I thought u wewe Big Mac, not Wittwe Mac! Hewp may nevew come, so we need to pwan an escape!” Mama then entered the room, carrying two bottles filled with foal formula. “Okay my sweeties! Time for num nums! And when you’re done, Mama will read you a bedtime story!” Big Mac took his bottle instantly. Rarity outright refused hers. “Doesn’t my little filly want num nums?” Mama asked Rarity smacked away the bottle. “No! U a meanie poo poo head!” Mama took a deep breath, then spoke in a motherly tone. “How about I tell you both that bedtime story? Once upon a time, there was a mother bear who had two little cubs. One day the mother bear went to forage for berries. It took her all day, but she finally found enough berries for her two little cubs. When she returned to her cave the first cub was very grateful, and he ate all of his berries. The other cub however was not, and refused to eat the berries.” Mama then picked up Rarity with her magic. She the walked with her out of the nursery and down the hall, still telling the story as she went. “So the mother bear decided to teach the cub a lesson in being grateful. She grabbed the cub and took her the bottomless whirlpool.” Mama then walked into a bathroom and held Rarity over a toilet. “The mother bear then cast the cub into the whirlpool. The cub was sucked down and never seen again.” A very serious look came over Mama’s face. She flushed the toilet which made a loud fwoosh. “You don’t want to end up like that poor cub, do you?” Rarity was shaking with fear. She shook her head no. “Then how about you drink your num nums?” Rarity nodded her head yes. “Very good!” Mama returned Rarity to the nursery. Rarity grabbed the bottle and gladly drank down the formula. Mama burped both Big Mac and Rarity afterwards. She then covered them with a blanket and kissed them goodnight. “Goodnight my sweeties!” Mama then turned out the light and left the nursery. Both Rarity and Big Mac could not sleep. They were even too scared to cry. A new playmateAfter Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom were all tucked in for the night, they got out of their beds and snuck out of their houses. The three of them then met up at the edge of the Everfree forest. “Okay, does every pony have everything?” Applebloom asked. “I’ve got the flashlight.” Sweetie Belle then lit up her horn to provide illumination. “I brought a first aid kit, in case Big Mac and Rarity are hurt.” Said Scootaloo. Applebloom took a rope out of her saddle bag. “And I brought this rope to tie up the culprit once we catch them.” Scootaloo raised an eyebrow. “A rope? How is that supposed to stop the foalnapper?” “Hey, I’m getting really good at using this!” Applebloom replied. “Applejack has been teaching me how to lasso and tie critters up. You should see me wrangle up the pigs when they get rowdy.” Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. “Will you two come on! We have to save Rarity and Big Mac!” She then led the way into the Everfree forest, with Scootaloo and Applebloom following close behind. After searching for what felt like hours, the three fillies stopped when they suddenly heard a noise. “I think we’re being followed.” Sweetie Belle whispered. “Do you think it’s the foalnapper?” Scootaloo asked. “There’s only one way to find out. I’ll blind him with my light, then you tie him up with your lasso Applebloom.” “Got it.” Applebloom readied her lasso. “Now!” Sweetie Belle turned around and blinded the pony with her light. Applebloom then tossed her lasso. It landed around the pony’s ankles. Applebloom pulled the lasso tight, tieing up and tripping the pony. “We did it! We caught the foalnapper!” The three shouted in unison. “Some pony get this rope off of me!” A very familiar voice shouted. Sweetie Belle focused her light to reveal a tied up Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow Dash?!” Scootaloo ran over and very quickly untied her idol. “Rainbow Dash, what are you doing out here?” Sweetie Belle asked. “I should be asking you the same thing.” Rainbow Dash stood up and dusted herself off. “I spotted Scootaloo leaving her house and then I followed you three into the Everfree forest. I lost track of you until you tied me up! Now tell me what you’re doing out here.” “We’re out here trying to catch whomever took Rarity and Big Mac.” Sweetie Belle replied. Rainbow Dash let out a sigh. “Listen, I know that you’re worried about them but you are all still way too young to be out here by yourselves. Besides, did you even think about how worried your families must be?” Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo all frowned and lowered their heads. “We were just trying to help.” Scootaloo said. Rainbow Dash put her hoof on Scootaloo’s shoulder. “I know that you all want to help, but you have to remember that you’re all still just fillies. This is a dangerous situation that we’re in, and the others and I just don’t want to see you three get hurt. Do you understand?” All three nodded their heads. “Good. Now let’s get you-” Before Rainbow Dash could finish, she was cut off by a blinding flash of magical light. The cutie mark crusaders were all shocked to see Rainbow Dash as nothing more than a month old foal. Suddenly, two bright eyes and a wide creepy smile appeared from the darkness. “Oh look, Mama has found another foal to love! And what’s this? Three more that want to play!” Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom all ran away screaming. Mama picked up Rainbow Dash. “Come now my little cutie. Let’s go home.” The cmc ran out of the Everfree forest and straight towards Sweet Apple Acres. They burst through the front door of the house, only to find Applejack and Granny Smith waiting for them. “Applebloom! Where in tarnation have you been?” Applejack asked with an angry voice. “I went upstairs not too long ago to check on you, only to find that you were gone! You’d better have a darn good explanation missy!” “We went out to find Rarity and Big Mac in the Everfree forest. Then this strange mare came out of nowhere and turned Rainbow Dash into a foal!” Applebloom explained. Applejack raised an eyebrow. “Beg pardon?” “It’s true!” Scootaloo said. “She had crazed eyes, a creepy smile, and she foalnapped Rainbow Dash!” Applejack took a moment to rub her temples. “Alright, I’m going to head over and inform Twilight. Applebloom, you are grounded! Sweetie Belle, I will take you home and tell your parents that you snuck out. The same thing goes for you too, Scootaloo.” “But what about Rainbow Dash?” Scootaloo asked. “If what you’re saying is true, then I’ll have Twilight put together a search party to scour the Everfree forest. For now, you best get your behind up to room and stay there Applebloom. Understood?” “Yes Applejack.” Applebloom said. She then headed upstairs to her room, looking back one more time at her friends. Mama entered the nursery holding Rainbow Dash. “Hello Sweeties! Mama found you another playmate!” She said gleefully. Mama then strapped Rainbow Dash into a foal harness with a leash that was magically tied to a heavy bolt in the floor. “We don’t want you flying away, now dow we?” Mama said with a smile. She then booped Rainbow Dash on the nose. “Mama has business to take care of. You three play nicely!” As soon as Mama left, Rainbow Dash tried to fly towards the door. The leash instantly tugged her back, causing Rainbow Dash to land right on her diapered rump. “Wainbow Dash, u gots captuwed too?” Rarity asked. “Wats going on? Who is dat poney?” Rainbow Dash said. “She cwazy!” Said Big Mac. “She tuwned us into foals and keeps us wocked up in dis woom all day.” “And you don’t wanna make hew angwy. She alweady gave me da spankies and thweatend to fwush me down da potty!” Rarity said. “Dats howwibwe!” Rainbow Dash replied. “Have u twied to escape?” Big Mac shook his head. “She keeps a magic speww on both da pway pen and da doow. Unwocking dem is impossible.” “Wewe dewe any othew ponies with u?” Rarity asked. “Yeah, Scootawoo, Appwebwoom, and ur sistew Sweetie Bewwe! Dey wan off befowe dat mawe could captuwe dem too.” Rarity’s face lit up. “Den thewe’s stiww hope! Dey wiww wawn da othews, and hewp wiww be hewe in no time.” “I hope u wight.” Rainbow Dash said. FoalsitterBig Mac, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash all played with the various toys that were in the play pen. Big Mac stacked some foam blocks, Rainbow Dash played with some plushies, and Rarity drew in a coloring book. There was a sudden knock at the door,and Mama walked in carrying three bottles of formula. “Okay my little ones! Time for num nums!” Mama then gave a bottle to each of them. Rarity, Big Mac, and Rainbow Dash all gulped down the formula while Mama sat back and watched them with a smile. Once they were done, Mama burped them all. Mama then sniffed the air and held her nose. “It smells like some pony made a stinky!” Rainbow Dash’s face turned red with embarrassment. Mama picked her up and unstrapped Rainbow from her harness. “Now is my chance to escape!” Rainbow Dash thought to herself. Mama laid Rainbow down on the changing table. After throwing out the soiled diaper and wiping Rainbow’s bottom clean, Mama reached for the foal powder. However, Rainbow grabbed the bottle first and sprayed Mama right in the face. “Aahh!” Mama screamed. Rainbow Dash then flew out of the room. She flew down the hall and into the main living room, only to find that all of the windows had been boarded shut. Rainbow Dash flew into every room in the single story house, but all of the windows had been boarded shut. She tried opening the front door, but it was locked. That is when Mama grabbed her. “You naughty little foal!” Mama shouted. “You are in for a severe punishment!” Rainbow Dash held up her tiny hooves. “No! Not da spankies!” “Oh no. This calls for more drastic measures.” Mama carried Rainbow Dash into the bathroom. She then dropped her into the toilet. “This is how we deal with VERY naughty foals.” Mama then pushed down on the handle, and Rainbow Dash was flushed down the toilet. Rainbow Dash span around the toilet before being sucked down with a pop. She was rushed down the pipes where she ended up in the sewer. Rainbow Dash got caught up in a strong current of water that washed her out of a drain pipe and into the mud. Mama was already there waiting for her. She picked up Rainbow Dash with her magic. “So, are you going to try another little stunt like that again?” Mama asked. Rainbow Dash shook her head no as she began to cry. “Good. Now let’s go home and get you all washed up, you stinky filly.” The next day Applebloom walked alongside Applejack as she pulled a cart full of zap apple jam over to Barnyard Bargains. Applebloom was still grounded, but Applejack didn’t trust her to be alone. The two arrived at Barnyard Bargains and went inside to speak with Filthy Rich. “Now Applebloom, I don’t want you wandering off while I’m doing business with Mr. Rich. Understand?” Applejack said. “Yes Applejack.” Applebloom replied with a bored tone of voice as she kicked at the ground. “Hello Applejack!” Filthy Rich said. “How is my favorite supplier doing?” While Applejack and Filthy Rich were engaged in conversation, Applebloom looked over at a mare who was stocking the shelves. She seemed familiar somehow. After thinking about it for a few seconds, Applebloom suddenly remembered where she had seen the mare before. She was the mare that had foalnapped Rainbow Dash in the Everfree forest! Applebloom tried to move closer to the mare, but she walked away and into the employee lounge. Applebloom ran up to Filthy Rich. “Mr. Rich! What’s the name of that mare who was just stocking the shelves.” “Applebloom, don’t be rude!” Said Applejack. “Mr. Rich and I are having a conversation.” “But Applejack, this is important!” Applebloom pleaded. Filthy Rich thought for a moment. “Why that’s my newest employee. Says her name is Foalsitter. Why do you ask?” “Because I saw her turn Rainbow Dash into a foal the other night! And I know that she’s done the same thing to Rarity and Big Mac!” “Those are some pretty big accusations Applebloom” Applejack said. “But it’s the truth, I swear.” Applebloom then gave Applejack the sad eyed look. Applejack rolled her eyes and sighed. “Alright, I’ll go with Twilight to question Foalsitter at her home. But you’re still grounded, so I want you staying in your room back at the farm. Understand?” Applebloom nodded in agreement. As they left Barnyard Bargains, Applebloom looked back to see Foalsitter staring back at her with a crazed smile. It sent shivers down her spine. Later that day Twilight and Applejack both went over to Foalsitter’s house. It was located on the edge of town, and the outside looked dilapidated. Twilight knocked on the door. After a few seconds Foalsitter answered. “Yes? May I help you?” “Hello, I’m Princess Twilight Sparkle and this is my friend Applejack. We’re investigating the disappearances of several ponies in Ponyville. May we ask you a few questions?” “Of course, come on in!” Foalsitter said cheerilly. The inside of Foalsitter’s house was vastly different than the outside. It was fully furnished with brightly painted walls and plush carpets. “The inside of your home is very, uh, lovely. A stark contrast to the outside of the house.” Twilight said. “Why thank you. I recently moved here to Ponyville, and so far I’ve only been able to fix up the inside.” Said Foalsitter. “Why are your windows boarded up?” Applejack asked. “I’m getting them replaced.” Foalsitter explained. “The old ones were such a pane. Ha ha! Get it?” Twilight laughed along nervously. “So anyway, have you seen anything unusual?” Foalsitter tapped her chin as she thought for a moment. “Nope! Can’t say that I have!” She said with a smile. “Is it alright with if we have a look around?” Asked Applejack. “Not at all! Look around all you want! I’ll go fetch you some snacks!” Foalsitter trotted off into the kitchen as Twilight and Applejack began looking around the house. “That Foalsitter sure is an odd one.” Applejack said. “Yeah, she does seem a bit off. You search down here while I search the top floor.” Twilight made her way upstairs while Applejack began her search downstairs, keeping one eye on Foalsitter at all times. Twilight checked all of the rooms upstairs. She checked the main bedroom, the bathroom, and the guest room but she found nothing suspicious. Twilight was about to give up when she noticed a door at the end of the hall. Back downstairs meanwhile, Applejack searched the entire first floor but found nothing. Foalsitter watched her from a distance, planning her next move. “This is perfect!” Foalsitter thought to herself. “Two new foals, and one of them is a princess!” Just as Foalsitter was powering up her magic and Twilight was about to open the door, there was a loud knock at the front door. “I’ll get it!” Foalsitter said happily, although a bit irritated that her plan was interrupted. She opened the front door to find Pinkie Pie and her welcome wagon waiting for her. “Welcome to Ponyville!” Pinkie Pie cheered. She then started up her welcome wagon and began playing her welcoming song. This was all topped off with Pinkie firing off her party cannon and the welcome wagon shooting cake batter everywhere. “Hmm, I still need to get that cake maker to work.” Pinkie said. Twilight came racing down the stairs while Applejack ran over from the living room. “Pinkie! What are you doing?” Twilight asked. “Just welcoming the newest resident of Ponyville, of course!” Pinkie replied. Foalsitter wiped the cake batter from her face. “I think you three should go. I need to clean up this mess.” Before Twilight could say another word,Foalsitter shut and locked the door. “It’s probably for the best Twi.” Applejack said. “I looked through every room downstairs and I couldn’t find anything.” “The same thing happened with me upstairs. Except for this one room at the end of the hall. I didn’t get in, but.” Twilight paused, unsure of what to say. “But what Twilight?” Pinkie Pie asked. “Well, I could have sworn that I heard foals.” Caught“What do you mean you heard foals?” Applejack asked “I’m not sure, but as I was approaching a closed off room upstairs I could have sworn that I heard foals playing on the other side.” Twilight replied. “What are you two talking about?” Pinkie asked, clearly confused. Twilight and Applejack explained the situation to Pinkie. “Oops. Sorry I interrupted your investigation.” “That’s alright Pinkie. Now I say we bust in there and force Foalsitter to show us that room and return my brother to normal.” Applejack said with a stomp of her hoof. “We can’t do that Applejack.” Said Twilight. “I know that this makes Foalsitter our prime suspect, but we don’t have the right to barge into her home and accuse her of turning Big Mac, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash into foals.” “Twilight is right.” Pinkie said. “If you want to re-enter Foalsitter’s house, you’re going to need a warrant.” Twilight and Applejack stood silently for a moment, amazed that Pinkie of all ponies knew about equestrian law. “It won’t take long to get a warrant Applejack.” Twilight said. “Then we can find out whether or not Foalsitter is our culprit.” Just around the corner of Foalsitter’s house Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo all eavesdropped on what Twilight was saying. Despite the three fillies being grounded, Applebloom had snuck out and gotten in touch with her friends once she learned that Applejack was going to investigate the home of foalsitter. “What are they saying?” Scootaloo asked. “Something about needing a warrant to search Foalsitter’s home.” Applebloom replied.” “What’s a warrant?” Asked Sweetie Belle. “It’s just some grown up nonsense.” Applebloom said. “Foalsitter is the pony that took Rarity, Big Mac, and Rainbow Dash but they can’t do anything about it because of some dumb law.” “So what are we going to do?” Asked Scootaloo. Applebloom thought for a moment. “I have an idea. It’s a bit risky, but it just might work.” Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle then huddled together to discuss their plan. A little later, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo knocked on Foalsitter’s front door. Foalsitter answered. “Yes? Can I help you?” Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were wearing their filly scout uniforms and had a wagon full of cookies. “Hello miss! We’re with the filly scouts and we’re selling cookies to raise funds for our organization. Would you like to buy some?” Sweetie Belle asked. While Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle distracted Foalsitter, Applebloom climbed onto the roof with a ladder that she had brought from the farm. Once on top, she entered the chimney and slowly crawled down until she was in the house. Applebloom wiped the soot off of her face and began her search. Meanwhile, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo kept Foalsitter distracted. “Alright, I’ll buy two boxes. Do have any chocolate mints?” Foalsitter asked. “Sorry, we’re fresh out.” Said Scootaloo. “Then I’ll have peanut butter” “We just sold out of those.” Sweetie Belle said. Applebloom searched through every room downstairs and found nothing. Then she remembered overhearing Twilight talking about a mysterious room on the upstairs floor. Applebloom quickly and quietly made her way upstairs where she immediately spotted the room. Applebloom opened the door and couldn’t believe her eyes. In the center of the room sitting in a playpen were her brother Big Mac, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. All three of them turned into month old foals. Big Mac smiled and ran up to the edge of the playpen. “AppweBwoom! You came to wescue us from Mama!” “Mama? Is that what you all call Foalsitter?” Applebloom asked. “She makes us call hew tat!” Rarity said. “She’s a big meanie! She wocked us in hewe with magic and gives us spankies when we misbehave.” “She fwushed me down da potty!” Said Rainbow Dash, shuttering at the thought of being flushed. “Don’t worry, I’m here with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, and we’re going to get you all out of here and back to normal.” Applebloom tried to unlock the playpen, but it was sealed with a magic spell. Applebloom also tried reaching over the playpen to grab the foals, but she was stopped by a magical barrier. At the same time, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were running out of ways to keep Foalsitter distracted. “Do you at least have chocolate chip?” Foalsitter asked. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo both looked in the wagon. “Sorry, all we have left is oatmeal raisin.” Scootaloo said. At that moment, Foalsitter could sense her magic barrier being disturbed. “Oh no! My foals!” Foalsitter took off running upstairs. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle both gave chase. Foalsitter ran into the room and caught Applebloom trying to free the foals. “You! I saw you following me around at Barnyard Bargains!” Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle entered the room soon after, only to be confronted by Foalsitter. “And you two! I remember you from the Everfree forest! How dare you try to take my foals!” “Your foals?” Sweetie Belle asked with a puzzled look. “That’s my sister and her friends! You turned them into foals and then foalnapped them!” “Yeah, you’re off your rocker!” Scootaloo said. “I have given the chance to be happy!” Foalsitter said defensively. “I have been watching all three of these ponies as they work their hooves to the bone making dresses, bucking apples, and performing for the wonderbolts. All I have done is returned them to their foal like innocence.” “But what about the spankings and toilet flushings?” Asked Applebloom. Foalsitter gave a shocked response. “You think that I enjoy doing those things? I am merely practicing tough love. Believe me, it hurts me way more than it hurts them.” “U cwazy!” Rarity shouted. Foalsitter then lit up her horn. “But I’m afraid that you’ve seen and know too much. I can’t risk you telling any pony about this, so-” There was a sudden flash of light, and in a split second Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo found themselves transformed into one month old foals. The three fillies instantly broke out crying. Foalsitter scooped them up in her front legs and gently rocked them back and forth. “Shh, it’s okay my darlings. Mama is here to make everything alright.” EscapeTwilight knocked on the front door of Foalsitter’s home, two royal guards standing by her side. Foalsitter answered with a cheerful smile. “Princess Twilight! How wonderful to see you again!” Twilight levitated up a scroll with her magic. “Miss Foalsitter, I have here a search warrant for your home. These two guards will be assisting me in the search. Any interference during our search will land you in jail. Do I make myself clear?” “Why of course you do! I am always willing to help out the princesses, especially with legal matters. Please, do come in!” Foalsitter stood aside and ushered Twilight and the guards into her home. Twilight immediately led the guards upstairs. One way or another, she was going to get into that room. When she got upstairs however, Twilight was shocked to find that the door at the end of of the hall was gone. All there was instead was a plain wall. “I...I don’t get it.” Twilight said. “There was a door right here, I swear there was. And I know that I heard foals on the other side.” Foalsitter stared at Twilight with a confused look on her face. “Princess, I have no idea what you are talking about. There has never been a door or room in that spot since I moved in here.” The two guards looked at Twilight, who blushed due to embarrassment. “ I am so sorry to have bothered you Foalsitter.” Foalsitter simply smiled and waved her off. “Don’t you worry about it. I know that you’re just on the lookout for ponies who are up to no good, but I can assure you that I am not one of them.” Twilight shook Foalsitter’s hoof. “Again, I am truly sorry for the interruption. Please have pleasant day.” Twilight then led the two guards back downstairs and they exited the house. As soon as Twilight was gone, Foalsitter lit up her horn. The wall then transformed into a door. She opened it and stood before the six foals who were trapped in the magic playpen. “Well, that was a close one.” Foalsitter said. “Now there shouldn’t be any more interference between Mama and her little foals!” “U won’t get away with dis!” Applebloom shouted. “Oh but I already have.” Foalsitter said as she booped Applebloom on the nose. “I now have six little foals to give my love to, and soon I’ll have even more.” “U poopy head!” Shouted Scootaloo. Foalsitter pinched her cheeks. “Temper, temper little one. Anymore outbursts and no pony gets any dinner. Do I make myself clear?” Everypony was about to object, but the combined rumblings of their tummies quickly quieted them down. Foalsitter smiled smugly. “I thought so. Now you all play nice while Mama gets your bottles ready. And after dinner, we can have story time! Now Doesn’t that sound fun!” After Foalsitter had left the room, everypony began talking. “Wawity, what awe we going to do?” Sweetie Belle asked. “I don’t know Sweetie Bewwe.” Rarity replied. “Wainbow Dash, Big Mac, and I have twied evewything to escape.” Applebloom kicked a toy block in frustration. She then noticed that it went through a gap in the playpen. Applebloom immediately had an idea. “Evewyone, I’ve found a gap in da pwaypen! If we can keep Foalsitter distwacted long enough, I can cwawl through and get help!” “Dat sounds gweat sis!” Said Big Mac. “Only one pwoblem. How are we going to distwact Foalsitter?” Scootaloo smiled. “I know what to do!” Everypony then gathered around her to discuss the plan. A few minutes later, Foalsitter came back into the room carrying bottles of formula in her magic. “Okay my little foals! Mama is here with num nums!” Scootaloo raised her front hooves in the air and bounced up and down on her diaper. “Uppy, uppy, uppy!” Foalsitter d’awwed at the sight. “Aww, do you want uppies from Mama?” Foalsitter set down the bottles and stepped through the magical barrier to pick up Scootaloo. As soon as she was in the playpen, the other foals all jumped on Foalsitter. They crawled all over her, tickling her and giggling. “Ha ha! That tickles!” Foalsitter said. “You want to play with Mama? Then let’s play!” While the others kept Foalsitter busy, Applebloom crawled over to the gap in the playpen. She squeezed through and popped out. Applebloom then quickly and quietly crawled out of the room, making sure that Foalsitter did not see her. Applebloom then crawled down the hall and made her way to the stairs. She climbed down step by step, landing on her padded bottom each time. When she reached the bottom, Applebloom looked for a way out. She tried the front door, but soon realized that she was too small to reach the handle. Applebloom looked around in a panic. She knew that the others couldn’t keep Foalsitter distracted forever, and that eventually she would notice her absence. Applebloom then saw the downstairs bathroom. She knew of only one way out of the house, and she didn’t like it. Applebloom crawled into the bathroom and made her way onto the toilet with a little hop. Applebloom pushed down on the handle. She then took a deep breath and jumped into the swirling water. Applebloom spun around and around until she was sucked down the drain. Foalsitter stopped playing with the foals as soon as she heard the downstairs toilet flush. “Wait a minute, somepony is missing!” Foalsitter ran out of the room and fled down the stairs towards the bathroom. When she reached the toilet it was too late. “NO!!!” Foalsitter screamed. Applebloom was swept through the water in the sewer and popped out of a drain pipe to the outside. It was dark out, but Applebloom knew that she had to keep moving. She was sure that Foalsitter was close on her tail. Applebloom crawled until she reached the center of Ponyville. Tired, cold, and filthy from her toilet escape Applebloom sat down and began to cry. She only stopped once she heard a familiar voice. “Why, hello there little filly. What are you doing out here all by yourself?” It was Grandpa Pear. He picked up Applebloom and wiped away her tears. “Say, for a foal you look awfully familiar.” “It’s me Gwandpa Peaw! Applebloom!” She said. “I need youw help!” Grandpa Pear was in shock. “Applebloom?! What happened to you?” “A mean mawe named Foawsittew foawnapped me, Sweetie Belle, Scootawoo, Big Mac, Wainbow Dash, and Wawity and turned us all into foaws. She keeps us wocked up in a woom and gives us spankies if we don’t behave.” “Well then, it’s a good thing I found you. We need to get you to your sister and princess Twilight. But first let’s give you a bath because you reek.” Applebloom blushed. “Yeah, I had to fwush mysewf down da potty to escape.” Grandpa Pear placed Applebloom on his back as he made his to Sweet Apple Acres, holding his nose as he went. Back at Foalsitter’s house, Foalsitter confronted the remaining five foals. “Mama is very upset with you all. You tricked Mama into playing with you, but it was all just a ruse so that one of you could escape!” Foalsitter then lifted all of the foals into the air with her magic. “Remember, Mama only does this because Mama loves you. Mama takes no pleasure in doing this.” Foalsitter then lined up all the foals, grabbed a paddle and gave them each a harsh spanking. The house became filled with the sound of crying foals. You can call me MamaAt Sweet Apple Acres Granny Smith, Grandpa Pear, and Applejack all listened to Applebloom’s tale of escape from Foalsitter while giving her a bubble bath. “I knew that Foalsitter was up to no good!” Applejack said angrily. “I just wish I could have stopped her before she turned you into a foal Applebloom.” “Now don’t beat yourself up Applejack.” Said Granny Smith. “There’s no way you could have known. Besides, from what Applebloom has told us this Foalsitter seems to be a few apples short of a pie if you ask me.” “On the bright side, I at least to see what my granddaughter looks like as a foal.” Grandpa Pear said. “And I must say, she is as cute as a button.” Grandpa pear pinched Applebloom’s cheek while he scrubbed her down. Applebloom became irritated. “Gwandpa this is sewious! We need to wescue Big Mac and da othews! Awso, I don’t wike being a foaw. I don’t even have my cutie mawk anymowe.” Grandpa Pear could not help chuckle a little. “You’re so adorable when you’re angry.” “You think she’s cute, you should have seen Applejack as a foal. Why, when she got upset her cheeks would become all puffy! Cutest thing I ever did see!” Said Granny Smith. “Granny!” Applejack yelled in frustration. Granny Smith laughed. “Yep, just like that!” After Applebloom was bathed and freshly diapered (which she didn’t like) Applejack placed Applebloom on her back and trotted over to Twilight’s castle. Once Twilight saw Applebloom and heard what Foalsitter was doing, she was in shock. “But I just searched Foalsitter’s house.” Twilight said. “I tried to find the door to the nursery, but it wasn’t there!” “Dat because Foawsittew used a speww to hide da doow.” Applebloom explained. “Of course! It all makes sense now. Well don’t worry Applebloom, I’ll gather up the royal guards and we’ll put a stop to Foalsitter once and for all.” A worried look came over Applebloom’s face. “Huwwy! Now dat she knows I’m gone, who knows what she wiww do to da othews!” It did not take long for Twilight to gather up a half dozen guards. Together they, along with Applejack and Applebloom, marched right towards Foalsitter’s house. Once outside the front door, Twilight called out to Foalsitter. “Listen up Foalsitter! We know that you are holding foals hostage. Just release them and walk out with your hooves in the air so that we can end this peacefully.” For a moment there was silence. All of a sudden, a shot of magic burst through one of the windows. It hit the ground in front of Twilight, leaving a small crater. Foalsitter then called out from the window. “You’ll never take these foals away from their Mama! You hear me, never!” Foalsitter then fired another shot of magic. Twilight erected a magic shield around herself, Applejack, Applebloom, and the guards as Foalsitter continued to fire magic blasts at them. “Foalsitter is more powerful than I originally thought!” Twilight said. Applejack held Applebloom close as the shield shook from all the magic shots. “I think that we might need some more backup here Twi!” Suddenly, Applebloom had an idea. “Wait! I have a pwan!” Applebloom told Twilight and Applejack her plan. Applejack was not pleased. “Are you crazy Applebloom!? There is no way that I’m letting you put yourself in danger like that.” “Pwease Appwejack? It’s da onwy way to stop Foalsittew.” Applebloom then made doughy eyes and quivered her lower lip. Applejack sighed. “All right, we’ll do your plan. Just try not to get hurt.” Twilight then called out to Foalsitter. “Foalsitter listen! If you stop firing at us, we’ll give you back Applebloom!” The shots of magic stopped. The front door opened a little bit and Foalsitter stuck her head out. “I want you all to stay put! Have Applebloom crawl over to me!” Applejack set Applebloom down on the ground. The guards parted way as Applebloom crawled towards the house. Foalsitter then stepped outside and called out to her. “That’s right, come here to Mama!” When Applebloom was close enough, Foalsitter scooped her up in her front hooves. “Oh, Mama missed you so much!” Foalsitter then kissed Applebloom repeatedly. Applebloom then sprang into action. She latched onto Foalsitter’s face and refused to let go. Foalsitter panicked. “I can’t see!” She shouted as she ran around in circles. Applejack then sprang forward with a lasso. She tossed the lasso and tied up all four of Foalsitter’s legs. Applebloom was sent flying from Foalsitter’s face, but fortunately she was caught by one of the guards. Before Foalsitter could get back up, Twilight struck her with a sleeping spell and she was out like a light. With Foalsitter subdued, Twilight and the others made their way into the house and up the stairs. Twilight opened the door to the nursery to find the five remaining foals. Their bottoms were bright red, and they were sniffling and crying. “Sweetie Bewwe! Scootawoo! I’m back and we took cawe of Foawsittew!” Applebloom proclaimed. The faces of the foals lit up. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo wobbled over to Applebloom, and the three friends all had a big group hug. Big Mac crawled over to Applejack and hugged her leg. Applejack scooped Big Mac up and hugged him back. “It looks like I should be calling you Little Mac.” Applejack said jokingly. “Eyup!” Big Mac replied. Rarity and Rainbow Dash both crawled over to Twilight. “Twiwight! We awe so gwad you came!” Rarity said. “Foawsittew gave us da spankies with a big paddwe! It weawwy huwt!” “Oh my, that sounds terrible!” Twilight said. “I am so sorry that it took me so long to find you.” “Dat okay, you hewe now and evewythings going to be awwight.” Said Rainbow Dash. After looking through her library for a couple of hours, Twilight finally found a spell book that contained a fix for the age-regression spell Foalsitter had used. After speaking an incantation Rarity, Big Mac, Rainbow Dash, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were turned back to normal. “My, it feels good to be out of those diapers.” Rarity said. “I don’t know how foals can stand to use them, they’re so uncomfortable.” “Not to mention that they made your butt look big.” Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. “They did not!” Rarity shot back. “Besides, you were stuck in them too.” “Yeah, but I make everything I wear look awesome!” Rainbow Dash replied. Rarity then used her magic to zap a diaper onto Rainbow Dash’s bottom. “You’re right darling, you do make diapers look awesome!” Rarity said with a laugh. Rainbow Dash was steaming mad. “RARITY!!!” Twilight face-hoofed herself and let out a sigh. “You two are worse than the Cake twins.” Twilight later went to have a meeting with Foalsitter. She had been locked up in a padded cell in Celestia’s dungeon. She was in a straight jacket, and a magic suppression ring had been placed on her horn. When Twilight entered the cell, Foalsitter looked up at her. “Are you here to give Mama back her foals?” She asked. Twilight shook her head. “No, I’m here to ask you some questions. Why did you foalnap all those ponies and turn them into foals?” Foalsitter lowered her head. “After I was born my parents abandoned me and left me at an orphanage. All I wanted was family to call my own. Every day I would see fillies and colts get adopted, but no pony ever wanted me. When I was old enough I moved out and lived in various places, working odd jobs. Then my biological clock kicked in. I wanted a foal of my own, to love and care for. I tried looking for the right stallion to be my special somepony, but they were never interested. I tried to adopt, but all of the orphanages I tried would not let me have a foal due to my financial situation.” “Did you try in vitro fertilization?” Twilight asked. A tear rolled down Foalsitter’s cheek. “I visited several doctors, but they all said the same thing. Apparently I am barren and cannot have children of my own. I became distraught. It seemed like the entire universe was against me having a family. I ask you Twilight Sparkle, an immortal princess no less, how is it fair that I cannot be apart of a family nor have a foal of my own?” Twilight was at a loss for words. “Tell me how you learned that age-regression spell.” “I was working at a bookstore a few years ago. I came across the spell in an old spellbook while cleaning out the back of the shop. It was the answer to all of my prayers. If I could not have a foal of my own or adopt one, then I would simply turn a pony back into a foal. And not just any pony, but a pony who led a stressful life who could do with the carefree lifestyle of foalhood.” “Then why all of the spankings?” Twilight asked. “That’s just how I was raised as a foal growing up in the orphanage. If we misbehaved, then we got a smack on the bottom until we learned to be good little fillies and colts.” Twilight was silent for a few moments. “Foalsitter, I am truly sorry for the harsh life you have had to live. I nor anypony else will ever be able to understand what you have been through. However, I must say that you had no right to turn ponies into foals and then hold them against their will. I am sure that with enough rehabilitation, you can one day rejoin society as a functioning citizen.” “And what about being a mother?” Foalsitter asked. Twilight tapped her chin as she thought. “I tell you what. If you can reform yourself, and I mean really work hard to turn over a new leaf, then when you get out I will help you adopt a foal.” A smile came across Foalsitter’s face. “Really? You mean it?” “Just ease up on the spankings.” After a year, Foalsitter was finally released and deemed reformed. She got her old job back at Barnyard Bargains, and even fixed up her house on the edge of Ponyville. Twilight stayed true to her word, and helped Foalsitter to adopt a foal of her own. The big day came as Twilight and Foalsitter sat in the waiting room of the orphanage. An administrator then came out holding a one month old colt with a white mane and tail and, light brown hair, and burgundy eyes. “Say hello to your new son, Butter Rum.” The administrator said as she gave Butter Rum over to Foalsitter. As Foalsitter held Butter Rum in her hooves, the little foal giggled and reached up to boop her on the nose with his chubby little hoof. Foalsitter smiled, tears of joy running down her face. “Hello little one. You can call me Mama.”
I've lost my foal!Rarity had just closed up her boutique in Ponyville for the night. “My what a busy day. Well, no rest for the weary. I still need to finish my designs for the fall line.” Rarity was about to head upstairs to her private workshop when she heard a knock at her door. “I’m sorry, but we’re closed.” Rarity called out to whomever was at the door. “I need your help!” The pony yelled through the door. “I’ve lost my foal!” Being the element of generosity, Rarity could never say no to a pony in need. Especially a pony who had lost their child. Rarity dashed to the door, unlocking and opening it as fast as she could. On the other side stood a unicorn mare with a neon pink coat, a neon green mane and tail, and a foal bottle for a cutie mark. “You poor thing! Come inside.” Rarity escorted the mare into the boutique, sitting her down on the couch. “Perhaps I can help you. What does your foal look like?” The mare sniffed and wiped away a tear. “Well, she’s only a month old. Still in diapers. She has white coat and a purple mane and tail.” Rarity began to feel uneasy. The foal the mare had just described sounded exactly like herself. “Um, I don’t believe I caught your name miss?” At that moment, the mare stopped crying and smiled. She turned and faced Rarity with a crazed look in her eyes. “You can call me Mama!” Before Rarity could react, there was a bright flash of magic from the mare’s horn and then everything went dark. The next day, Sweetie Belle sat outside of the schoolhouse. She was then approached by her two best friends, Scootaloo and Applebloom. “Hey Sweetie Belle, what are you sitting around for? School is over.” Said Applebloom. Sweetie Belle faced her friends. “Rarity was supposed to pick me up after school so I could model some dresses for her, but she never showed up.” “Maybe she’s just really busy with her work and forgot.” Scootaloo said. Sweetie Belle stood up. She had a grumpy look on her face. “Ugh, Rarity is always doing this! She promises something with me and then she forgets! I am going right over to her boutique to give her a piece of my mind!” Sweetie Belle then took off with Scootaloo and Applebloom following close behind. When the trio reached Carousel Boutique, they found the front door to be wide open. Sweetie Belle stepped inside and called out for her sister. “Rarity? Are you home?” Sweetie Belle became worried when there was no response. She searched through the entire building, but Rarity wasn’t there. “Maybe she’s at Twilight’s friendship school teaching a class.” Scootaloo suggested. “Good thinking Scoots! Let’s go!” Sweetie said. The three fillies then trotted of to Twilight’s school of friendship. They arrived and headed straight for Twilight’s office. “Hello girls. How can I help you today?” Twilight asked. “We’re looking for Rarity. Is she here?” Applebloom asked. Twilight thought for a moment. “Actually no. In fact, I haven’t seen her all day. Isn’t she over at Carousel Boutique?” “No, we just came from there. The place is empty.” Said Scootaloo. Twilight got up from her desk. “That’s odd. It’s not like Rarity to just up and leave without telling any pony.” “Do you think she’s in trouble?” Sweetie Belle asked with a worried tone of voice. Twilight walked over and put a hoof on her shoulder. “Rarity is tougher than she looks. We will find her safe and sound. I guarantee it.” Meanwhile, Rarity was just regaining consciousness. She looked around and found herself in a room with yellow walls that had teddy bears, choo choo trains, and other toys painted on them. The floor was covered in a soft, plush carpet. Rarity spotted a changing table up against the wall. She also noticed that she was in a playpen filled with toys. Rarity moved and heard a crinkly sound. She looked down to see a diaper strapped to her bottom that was so thick it caused her to wobble. Rarity examined her body. It was short and chubby. Rarity finally noticed a mirror next to the door. She crawled to the edge of the playpen and was shocked at what she saw. “I a foaw!” She shouted. At that moment, the strange mare from earlier opened the door and came into the room. She looked down at Rarity and smiled. “Aww, did Mama’s little filly enjoy her nap?” “Wat did u do to me?!” Rarity yelled as she bounced up and down on her diaper. “My, my. Is my little filly cranky? Does she need some num nums?” Mama then picked up a foal bottle with her magic and put it in Rarity’s mouth. Rarity tried to pull the bottle out but Mama held it in place, forcing Rarity to gulp down the formula within. Once the bottle was empty, Mama removed it from Rarity’s mouth. She then patted Rarity on the back to make her burp. “Did Mama’s special foal get enough?” Rarity wriggled her body to try and free herself from Mama’s hooves. “U cwazy!” Rarity’s diaper then bulged, and a foul odor filled the room. “It looks a certain filly just made a stinky!” Mama cooed. She took Rarity over to the changing station and laid her down. Rarity blushed with embarrassment. Mama removed and threw out the filthy diaper. She then wiped down Rarity, put foal powder on her, and strapped her into a clean one. “There! All nice and clean!” Mama then blew a raspberry onto Rarity’s tummy. Rarity could not help but laugh and wave around her chubby little hooves. Mama picked up Rarity and returned her to the playpen. “Now you just sit tight and play with your toys. Mama will be right back with some brothers and sisters for you!” “No! I won’t wet u foalnap anymowe ponies!” Rarity tried to use her magic, but the only thing that came out of her horn were sparks. Mama simply giggled and patted Rarity on the head. “You silly filly! You’re far too young to use any magic!” Mama turned to leave the room. When she reached the door, Mama stopped in her tracks. “Oh, just one more thing. If you try to escape-” Mama then turned her head to face Rarity. Her eyes were glowing bright red. “Mama will be VERY angry!” Mama then left, slamming the door behind her. Rarity slumped down, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Wat am I gonna do?”
Have you seen my foal?Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo all waited in Twilight’s office as she contacted Rarity’s other two stores to see if Rarity was at either of them. After sending out magic messages and getting replies from Coco Pommel and Sassy Saddles, Twilight walked over and spoke to the trio. “I’m sorry girls. I’ve contacted both Canterlot Boutique and Rarity for you, and neither Coco Pommel or Sassy Saddles has seen Rarity.” Sweetie Belle slunk down and hung her head. “She has to be somewhere!” Sweetie said, trying to hold back her tears. Applebloom and Scootaloo stood by their friend. “Don’t worry Sweetie Belle.” Applebloom said. “We’ll find your sister, no matter what. After all, we are the cutie mark crusaders!” Twilight gently lifted Sweetie Belle’s chin. “Your friends are right. Just look at how much good you three have done already. I promise that we won’t rest until Rarity is found.” Sweetie Belle looked up at Twilight. “Really?” Twilight smiled and nodded her head. “Yes. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!” Scootaloo and Applebloom repeated the same gesture. Sweetie Belle smiled as she wiped away a single tear from her face. “Thanks you guys.” “I suggest we split up.” Scootaloo said. “We can cover more ground that way.” Twilight agreed. “You three ask around town. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and I will ask around the other half of town. We’ll meet up at my castle afterwards.” The cutie mark crusaders then headed out into Ponyville to find Rarity. Twilight went to gather her friends and search the other half of Ponyville. Over at Sweet Apple Acres, Big Mac was busy bucking apples along with his usual chores. This time however, he was approached by a mare with a worried look on her face. “Excuse me sir, but can you help me?” The mare asked. “Eyup.” Big Mac replied. “Oh good. Have you seen my foal? I’m afraid I’ve lost him.” Big Mac thought for a second. “Nope.” A creepy smile spread across the mare’s face. “That’s alright. I’ll just take you home instead.” Before Big Mac could react the mare blasted him with her magic, turning him into a month old foal. Big Mac landed on the ground with a slight bounce, then he broke out crying. The mare picked him up and rubbed his back to calm him down. “Shh, it’s alright. Mama’s here to make things all better.” Back over at Mama’s place, Rarity had managed to unlock the playpen gate. She then began stacking toys against the door, building a tower towards the door knob. Rarity climbed the tower and just barely reached the door knob by standing up on her hind hooves. Just as Rarity got her front hooves on the door knob, Mama returned home. Mama opened the door, knocking over the tower of toys. Rarity clung to the door knob with all of her little might. Mama was shocked at first, then her face took on an angry look. She turned and stared at Rarity. Rarity made a nervous giggle. Mama used her magic to pick up Rarity by the waistband of her diaper. After placing Big Mac in the playpen and re-locking it, she held Rarity with her hooves and sat down. “Mama warned you not to try and leave. But did you listen? Now you must be punished!” Mama bent Rarity over on her lap and pulled down her diaper. Mama then repeatedly spanked Rarity’s bottom. Rarity cried louder and louder with each strike, but Mama kept going until Rarity’s bottom was bright red. When the punishment was over, Mama returned Rarity to the playpen. “Have we learned our lesson about trying to escape?” Mama said in a sweet, loving voice. Rarity rubbed her sore bottom and nodded yes. Mama patted her on the head. “Very good! Now you place nice with your new brother while I get supper ready, okay?” Mama then left the room, locking the playpen gate with a magic spell before she left. Big Mac was shaking with fear. “Wats going on Wawity?” Rarity rubbed her eyes and sniffled. “Dat *sob* big meanie tuwned us into foaws and foawnapped us!” Big Mac crawled over to Rarity and gave her a hug. “Don’t wowwy, I’m suwe ouw fwiends awe out wooking fow us wight now!” Rarity wiped away her tears and smiled. “I hope tey find us soon.” As the day came to an end, the cutie mark crusaders headed over to Twilight’s castle. “I can’t believe it.” Sweetie Belle said. “We searched practically the whole town, and not one pony has seen Rarity!” Scootaloo looked over at Sweetie Belle. “Don’t worry Sweetie. Twilight and her friends must have found out something.” After arriving at Twilight’s castle, the three fillies went straight to the cutie map room. They were surprised however, to see Granny Smith consulting Applejack. “Granny? What are you doing here?” Asked Applebloom. Applejack ran up and hugged her little sister. “Oh Applebloom! I just got the news from Granny Smith. Big Mac is missing!” “WHAT?!” All three fillies shouted in unison. “He was supposed to help me clean the house after bucking apples this morning, but he never showed up.” Granny Smith explained. “I searched the entire farm, and there is no trace of him.” “First Rarity and now Big Mac? This is getting serious.” Said Twilight. “Do you think we should contact Celestia for help?” Fluttershy asked. Twilight shook her head. “No. The last thing I want to do is cause a panic in town by bringing in the royal guard.” “We should at least inform Mayor Mare about the situation.” Applejack said. “Agreed. Rainbow Dash, can you gather the wonderbolts to help search by air?” Twilight asked. “Not a problem!” Rainbow Dash said with a salute. While the other ponies were talking, Scootaloo spoke with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. “Girls, I think we may have a serial foalnapper on our hooves.” “But what else can we do?” Said Sweetie Belle. “We’ve already checked all over town.” Scootaloo then had an idea. “We can check the Everfree forest! I bet Zecora must have seen something.” “But what about Applejack?” Applebloom asked. “You all know how overprotective she is. Now that Big Mac is missing, she’ll never let us out of her sight.” “Then we’ll just have to sneak out and not tell any pony.” Said Sweetie Belle. “Rarity and Big Mac could be in great danger, and we’re probably the only ponies who can help them.” “Then it’s settled.” Scootaloo said. “Tonight we’ll all sneak out of our homes and meet up at the edge of the Everfree to begin our search.” Meanwhile, at Mama’s hideout Rarity and Big Mac both tried to play with the toys in the playpen. Big Mac pick up a ball and rolled it toward Rarity, but Rarity just let it bounce off of her. “Don’t u wanna pway?” Big Mac asked. Rarity stared at Big Mac with a grumpy look on her face. “How can I? An evil witch has tuwned me into a foaw and she’s howding me against my wiww! We need to find anothew way out.” Big Mac suddenly became very scared. “Da wast time u twied to escape, u got da spankies! Who knows what else she wiww do!” Rarity rolled her eyes. “I thought u wewe Big Mac, not Wittwe Mac! Hewp may nevew come, so we need to pwan an escape!” Mama then entered the room, carrying two bottles filled with foal formula. “Okay my sweeties! Time for num nums! And when you’re done, Mama will read you a bedtime story!” Big Mac took his bottle instantly. Rarity outright refused hers. “Doesn’t my little filly want num nums?” Mama asked Rarity smacked away the bottle. “No! U a meanie poo poo head!” Mama took a deep breath, then spoke in a motherly tone. “How about I tell you both that bedtime story? Once upon a time, there was a mother bear who had two little cubs. One day the mother bear went to forage for berries. It took her all day, but she finally found enough berries for her two little cubs. When she returned to her cave the first cub was very grateful, and he ate all of his berries. The other cub however was not, and refused to eat the berries.” Mama then picked up Rarity with her magic. She the walked with her out of the nursery and down the hall, still telling the story as she went. “So the mother bear decided to teach the cub a lesson in being grateful. She grabbed the cub and took her the bottomless whirlpool.” Mama then walked into a bathroom and held Rarity over a toilet. “The mother bear then cast the cub into the whirlpool. The cub was sucked down and never seen again.” A very serious look came over Mama’s face. She flushed the toilet which made a loud fwoosh. “You don’t want to end up like that poor cub, do you?” Rarity was shaking with fear. She shook her head no. “Then how about you drink your num nums?” Rarity nodded her head yes. “Very good!” Mama returned Rarity to the nursery. Rarity grabbed the bottle and gladly drank down the formula. Mama burped both Big Mac and Rarity afterwards. She then covered them with a blanket and kissed them goodnight. “Goodnight my sweeties!” Mama then turned out the light and left the nursery. Both Rarity and Big Mac could not sleep. They were even too scared to cry.
A new playmateAfter Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom were all tucked in for the night, they got out of their beds and snuck out of their houses. The three of them then met up at the edge of the Everfree forest. “Okay, does every pony have everything?” Applebloom asked. “I’ve got the flashlight.” Sweetie Belle then lit up her horn to provide illumination. “I brought a first aid kit, in case Big Mac and Rarity are hurt.” Said Scootaloo. Applebloom took a rope out of her saddle bag. “And I brought this rope to tie up the culprit once we catch them.” Scootaloo raised an eyebrow. “A rope? How is that supposed to stop the foalnapper?” “Hey, I’m getting really good at using this!” Applebloom replied. “Applejack has been teaching me how to lasso and tie critters up. You should see me wrangle up the pigs when they get rowdy.” Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. “Will you two come on! We have to save Rarity and Big Mac!” She then led the way into the Everfree forest, with Scootaloo and Applebloom following close behind. After searching for what felt like hours, the three fillies stopped when they suddenly heard a noise. “I think we’re being followed.” Sweetie Belle whispered. “Do you think it’s the foalnapper?” Scootaloo asked. “There’s only one way to find out. I’ll blind him with my light, then you tie him up with your lasso Applebloom.” “Got it.” Applebloom readied her lasso. “Now!” Sweetie Belle turned around and blinded the pony with her light. Applebloom then tossed her lasso. It landed around the pony’s ankles. Applebloom pulled the lasso tight, tieing up and tripping the pony. “We did it! We caught the foalnapper!” The three shouted in unison. “Some pony get this rope off of me!” A very familiar voice shouted. Sweetie Belle focused her light to reveal a tied up Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow Dash?!” Scootaloo ran over and very quickly untied her idol. “Rainbow Dash, what are you doing out here?” Sweetie Belle asked. “I should be asking you the same thing.” Rainbow Dash stood up and dusted herself off. “I spotted Scootaloo leaving her house and then I followed you three into the Everfree forest. I lost track of you until you tied me up! Now tell me what you’re doing out here.” “We’re out here trying to catch whomever took Rarity and Big Mac.” Sweetie Belle replied. Rainbow Dash let out a sigh. “Listen, I know that you’re worried about them but you are all still way too young to be out here by yourselves. Besides, did you even think about how worried your families must be?” Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo all frowned and lowered their heads. “We were just trying to help.” Scootaloo said. Rainbow Dash put her hoof on Scootaloo’s shoulder. “I know that you all want to help, but you have to remember that you’re all still just fillies. This is a dangerous situation that we’re in, and the others and I just don’t want to see you three get hurt. Do you understand?” All three nodded their heads. “Good. Now let’s get you-” Before Rainbow Dash could finish, she was cut off by a blinding flash of magical light. The cutie mark crusaders were all shocked to see Rainbow Dash as nothing more than a month old foal. Suddenly, two bright eyes and a wide creepy smile appeared from the darkness. “Oh look, Mama has found another foal to love! And what’s this? Three more that want to play!” Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom all ran away screaming. Mama picked up Rainbow Dash. “Come now my little cutie. Let’s go home.” The cmc ran out of the Everfree forest and straight towards Sweet Apple Acres. They burst through the front door of the house, only to find Applejack and Granny Smith waiting for them. “Applebloom! Where in tarnation have you been?” Applejack asked with an angry voice. “I went upstairs not too long ago to check on you, only to find that you were gone! You’d better have a darn good explanation missy!” “We went out to find Rarity and Big Mac in the Everfree forest. Then this strange mare came out of nowhere and turned Rainbow Dash into a foal!” Applebloom explained. Applejack raised an eyebrow. “Beg pardon?” “It’s true!” Scootaloo said. “She had crazed eyes, a creepy smile, and she foalnapped Rainbow Dash!” Applejack took a moment to rub her temples. “Alright, I’m going to head over and inform Twilight. Applebloom, you are grounded! Sweetie Belle, I will take you home and tell your parents that you snuck out. The same thing goes for you too, Scootaloo.” “But what about Rainbow Dash?” Scootaloo asked. “If what you’re saying is true, then I’ll have Twilight put together a search party to scour the Everfree forest. For now, you best get your behind up to room and stay there Applebloom. Understood?” “Yes Applejack.” Applebloom said. She then headed upstairs to her room, looking back one more time at her friends. Mama entered the nursery holding Rainbow Dash. “Hello Sweeties! Mama found you another playmate!” She said gleefully. Mama then strapped Rainbow Dash into a foal harness with a leash that was magically tied to a heavy bolt in the floor. “We don’t want you flying away, now dow we?” Mama said with a smile. She then booped Rainbow Dash on the nose. “Mama has business to take care of. You three play nicely!” As soon as Mama left, Rainbow Dash tried to fly towards the door. The leash instantly tugged her back, causing Rainbow Dash to land right on her diapered rump. “Wainbow Dash, u gots captuwed too?” Rarity asked. “Wats going on? Who is dat poney?” Rainbow Dash said. “She cwazy!” Said Big Mac. “She tuwned us into foals and keeps us wocked up in dis woom all day.” “And you don’t wanna make hew angwy. She alweady gave me da spankies and thweatend to fwush me down da potty!” Rarity said. “Dats howwibwe!” Rainbow Dash replied. “Have u twied to escape?” Big Mac shook his head. “She keeps a magic speww on both da pway pen and da doow. Unwocking dem is impossible.” “Wewe dewe any othew ponies with u?” Rarity asked. “Yeah, Scootawoo, Appwebwoom, and ur sistew Sweetie Bewwe! Dey wan off befowe dat mawe could captuwe dem too.” Rarity’s face lit up. “Den thewe’s stiww hope! Dey wiww wawn da othews, and hewp wiww be hewe in no time.” “I hope u wight.” Rainbow Dash said.
FoalsitterBig Mac, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash all played with the various toys that were in the play pen. Big Mac stacked some foam blocks, Rainbow Dash played with some plushies, and Rarity drew in a coloring book. There was a sudden knock at the door,and Mama walked in carrying three bottles of formula. “Okay my little ones! Time for num nums!” Mama then gave a bottle to each of them. Rarity, Big Mac, and Rainbow Dash all gulped down the formula while Mama sat back and watched them with a smile. Once they were done, Mama burped them all. Mama then sniffed the air and held her nose. “It smells like some pony made a stinky!” Rainbow Dash’s face turned red with embarrassment. Mama picked her up and unstrapped Rainbow from her harness. “Now is my chance to escape!” Rainbow Dash thought to herself. Mama laid Rainbow down on the changing table. After throwing out the soiled diaper and wiping Rainbow’s bottom clean, Mama reached for the foal powder. However, Rainbow grabbed the bottle first and sprayed Mama right in the face. “Aahh!” Mama screamed. Rainbow Dash then flew out of the room. She flew down the hall and into the main living room, only to find that all of the windows had been boarded shut. Rainbow Dash flew into every room in the single story house, but all of the windows had been boarded shut. She tried opening the front door, but it was locked. That is when Mama grabbed her. “You naughty little foal!” Mama shouted. “You are in for a severe punishment!” Rainbow Dash held up her tiny hooves. “No! Not da spankies!” “Oh no. This calls for more drastic measures.” Mama carried Rainbow Dash into the bathroom. She then dropped her into the toilet. “This is how we deal with VERY naughty foals.” Mama then pushed down on the handle, and Rainbow Dash was flushed down the toilet. Rainbow Dash span around the toilet before being sucked down with a pop. She was rushed down the pipes where she ended up in the sewer. Rainbow Dash got caught up in a strong current of water that washed her out of a drain pipe and into the mud. Mama was already there waiting for her. She picked up Rainbow Dash with her magic. “So, are you going to try another little stunt like that again?” Mama asked. Rainbow Dash shook her head no as she began to cry. “Good. Now let’s go home and get you all washed up, you stinky filly.” The next day Applebloom walked alongside Applejack as she pulled a cart full of zap apple jam over to Barnyard Bargains. Applebloom was still grounded, but Applejack didn’t trust her to be alone. The two arrived at Barnyard Bargains and went inside to speak with Filthy Rich. “Now Applebloom, I don’t want you wandering off while I’m doing business with Mr. Rich. Understand?” Applejack said. “Yes Applejack.” Applebloom replied with a bored tone of voice as she kicked at the ground. “Hello Applejack!” Filthy Rich said. “How is my favorite supplier doing?” While Applejack and Filthy Rich were engaged in conversation, Applebloom looked over at a mare who was stocking the shelves. She seemed familiar somehow. After thinking about it for a few seconds, Applebloom suddenly remembered where she had seen the mare before. She was the mare that had foalnapped Rainbow Dash in the Everfree forest! Applebloom tried to move closer to the mare, but she walked away and into the employee lounge. Applebloom ran up to Filthy Rich. “Mr. Rich! What’s the name of that mare who was just stocking the shelves.” “Applebloom, don’t be rude!” Said Applejack. “Mr. Rich and I are having a conversation.” “But Applejack, this is important!” Applebloom pleaded. Filthy Rich thought for a moment. “Why that’s my newest employee. Says her name is Foalsitter. Why do you ask?” “Because I saw her turn Rainbow Dash into a foal the other night! And I know that she’s done the same thing to Rarity and Big Mac!” “Those are some pretty big accusations Applebloom” Applejack said. “But it’s the truth, I swear.” Applebloom then gave Applejack the sad eyed look. Applejack rolled her eyes and sighed. “Alright, I’ll go with Twilight to question Foalsitter at her home. But you’re still grounded, so I want you staying in your room back at the farm. Understand?” Applebloom nodded in agreement. As they left Barnyard Bargains, Applebloom looked back to see Foalsitter staring back at her with a crazed smile. It sent shivers down her spine. Later that day Twilight and Applejack both went over to Foalsitter’s house. It was located on the edge of town, and the outside looked dilapidated. Twilight knocked on the door. After a few seconds Foalsitter answered. “Yes? May I help you?” “Hello, I’m Princess Twilight Sparkle and this is my friend Applejack. We’re investigating the disappearances of several ponies in Ponyville. May we ask you a few questions?” “Of course, come on in!” Foalsitter said cheerilly. The inside of Foalsitter’s house was vastly different than the outside. It was fully furnished with brightly painted walls and plush carpets. “The inside of your home is very, uh, lovely. A stark contrast to the outside of the house.” Twilight said. “Why thank you. I recently moved here to Ponyville, and so far I’ve only been able to fix up the inside.” Said Foalsitter. “Why are your windows boarded up?” Applejack asked. “I’m getting them replaced.” Foalsitter explained. “The old ones were such a pane. Ha ha! Get it?” Twilight laughed along nervously. “So anyway, have you seen anything unusual?” Foalsitter tapped her chin as she thought for a moment. “Nope! Can’t say that I have!” She said with a smile. “Is it alright with if we have a look around?” Asked Applejack. “Not at all! Look around all you want! I’ll go fetch you some snacks!” Foalsitter trotted off into the kitchen as Twilight and Applejack began looking around the house. “That Foalsitter sure is an odd one.” Applejack said. “Yeah, she does seem a bit off. You search down here while I search the top floor.” Twilight made her way upstairs while Applejack began her search downstairs, keeping one eye on Foalsitter at all times. Twilight checked all of the rooms upstairs. She checked the main bedroom, the bathroom, and the guest room but she found nothing suspicious. Twilight was about to give up when she noticed a door at the end of the hall. Back downstairs meanwhile, Applejack searched the entire first floor but found nothing. Foalsitter watched her from a distance, planning her next move. “This is perfect!” Foalsitter thought to herself. “Two new foals, and one of them is a princess!” Just as Foalsitter was powering up her magic and Twilight was about to open the door, there was a loud knock at the front door. “I’ll get it!” Foalsitter said happily, although a bit irritated that her plan was interrupted. She opened the front door to find Pinkie Pie and her welcome wagon waiting for her. “Welcome to Ponyville!” Pinkie Pie cheered. She then started up her welcome wagon and began playing her welcoming song. This was all topped off with Pinkie firing off her party cannon and the welcome wagon shooting cake batter everywhere. “Hmm, I still need to get that cake maker to work.” Pinkie said. Twilight came racing down the stairs while Applejack ran over from the living room. “Pinkie! What are you doing?” Twilight asked. “Just welcoming the newest resident of Ponyville, of course!” Pinkie replied. Foalsitter wiped the cake batter from her face. “I think you three should go. I need to clean up this mess.” Before Twilight could say another word,Foalsitter shut and locked the door. “It’s probably for the best Twi.” Applejack said. “I looked through every room downstairs and I couldn’t find anything.” “The same thing happened with me upstairs. Except for this one room at the end of the hall. I didn’t get in, but.” Twilight paused, unsure of what to say. “But what Twilight?” Pinkie Pie asked. “Well, I could have sworn that I heard foals.”
Caught“What do you mean you heard foals?” Applejack asked “I’m not sure, but as I was approaching a closed off room upstairs I could have sworn that I heard foals playing on the other side.” Twilight replied. “What are you two talking about?” Pinkie asked, clearly confused. Twilight and Applejack explained the situation to Pinkie. “Oops. Sorry I interrupted your investigation.” “That’s alright Pinkie. Now I say we bust in there and force Foalsitter to show us that room and return my brother to normal.” Applejack said with a stomp of her hoof. “We can’t do that Applejack.” Said Twilight. “I know that this makes Foalsitter our prime suspect, but we don’t have the right to barge into her home and accuse her of turning Big Mac, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash into foals.” “Twilight is right.” Pinkie said. “If you want to re-enter Foalsitter’s house, you’re going to need a warrant.” Twilight and Applejack stood silently for a moment, amazed that Pinkie of all ponies knew about equestrian law. “It won’t take long to get a warrant Applejack.” Twilight said. “Then we can find out whether or not Foalsitter is our culprit.” Just around the corner of Foalsitter’s house Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo all eavesdropped on what Twilight was saying. Despite the three fillies being grounded, Applebloom had snuck out and gotten in touch with her friends once she learned that Applejack was going to investigate the home of foalsitter. “What are they saying?” Scootaloo asked. “Something about needing a warrant to search Foalsitter’s home.” Applebloom replied.” “What’s a warrant?” Asked Sweetie Belle. “It’s just some grown up nonsense.” Applebloom said. “Foalsitter is the pony that took Rarity, Big Mac, and Rainbow Dash but they can’t do anything about it because of some dumb law.” “So what are we going to do?” Asked Scootaloo. Applebloom thought for a moment. “I have an idea. It’s a bit risky, but it just might work.” Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle then huddled together to discuss their plan. A little later, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo knocked on Foalsitter’s front door. Foalsitter answered. “Yes? Can I help you?” Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were wearing their filly scout uniforms and had a wagon full of cookies. “Hello miss! We’re with the filly scouts and we’re selling cookies to raise funds for our organization. Would you like to buy some?” Sweetie Belle asked. While Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle distracted Foalsitter, Applebloom climbed onto the roof with a ladder that she had brought from the farm. Once on top, she entered the chimney and slowly crawled down until she was in the house. Applebloom wiped the soot off of her face and began her search. Meanwhile, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo kept Foalsitter distracted. “Alright, I’ll buy two boxes. Do have any chocolate mints?” Foalsitter asked. “Sorry, we’re fresh out.” Said Scootaloo. “Then I’ll have peanut butter” “We just sold out of those.” Sweetie Belle said. Applebloom searched through every room downstairs and found nothing. Then she remembered overhearing Twilight talking about a mysterious room on the upstairs floor. Applebloom quickly and quietly made her way upstairs where she immediately spotted the room. Applebloom opened the door and couldn’t believe her eyes. In the center of the room sitting in a playpen were her brother Big Mac, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. All three of them turned into month old foals. Big Mac smiled and ran up to the edge of the playpen. “AppweBwoom! You came to wescue us from Mama!” “Mama? Is that what you all call Foalsitter?” Applebloom asked. “She makes us call hew tat!” Rarity said. “She’s a big meanie! She wocked us in hewe with magic and gives us spankies when we misbehave.” “She fwushed me down da potty!” Said Rainbow Dash, shuttering at the thought of being flushed. “Don’t worry, I’m here with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, and we’re going to get you all out of here and back to normal.” Applebloom tried to unlock the playpen, but it was sealed with a magic spell. Applebloom also tried reaching over the playpen to grab the foals, but she was stopped by a magical barrier. At the same time, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were running out of ways to keep Foalsitter distracted. “Do you at least have chocolate chip?” Foalsitter asked. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo both looked in the wagon. “Sorry, all we have left is oatmeal raisin.” Scootaloo said. At that moment, Foalsitter could sense her magic barrier being disturbed. “Oh no! My foals!” Foalsitter took off running upstairs. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle both gave chase. Foalsitter ran into the room and caught Applebloom trying to free the foals. “You! I saw you following me around at Barnyard Bargains!” Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle entered the room soon after, only to be confronted by Foalsitter. “And you two! I remember you from the Everfree forest! How dare you try to take my foals!” “Your foals?” Sweetie Belle asked with a puzzled look. “That’s my sister and her friends! You turned them into foals and then foalnapped them!” “Yeah, you’re off your rocker!” Scootaloo said. “I have given the chance to be happy!” Foalsitter said defensively. “I have been watching all three of these ponies as they work their hooves to the bone making dresses, bucking apples, and performing for the wonderbolts. All I have done is returned them to their foal like innocence.” “But what about the spankings and toilet flushings?” Asked Applebloom. Foalsitter gave a shocked response. “You think that I enjoy doing those things? I am merely practicing tough love. Believe me, it hurts me way more than it hurts them.” “U cwazy!” Rarity shouted. Foalsitter then lit up her horn. “But I’m afraid that you’ve seen and know too much. I can’t risk you telling any pony about this, so-” There was a sudden flash of light, and in a split second Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo found themselves transformed into one month old foals. The three fillies instantly broke out crying. Foalsitter scooped them up in her front legs and gently rocked them back and forth. “Shh, it’s okay my darlings. Mama is here to make everything alright.”
EscapeTwilight knocked on the front door of Foalsitter’s home, two royal guards standing by her side. Foalsitter answered with a cheerful smile. “Princess Twilight! How wonderful to see you again!” Twilight levitated up a scroll with her magic. “Miss Foalsitter, I have here a search warrant for your home. These two guards will be assisting me in the search. Any interference during our search will land you in jail. Do I make myself clear?” “Why of course you do! I am always willing to help out the princesses, especially with legal matters. Please, do come in!” Foalsitter stood aside and ushered Twilight and the guards into her home. Twilight immediately led the guards upstairs. One way or another, she was going to get into that room. When she got upstairs however, Twilight was shocked to find that the door at the end of of the hall was gone. All there was instead was a plain wall. “I...I don’t get it.” Twilight said. “There was a door right here, I swear there was. And I know that I heard foals on the other side.” Foalsitter stared at Twilight with a confused look on her face. “Princess, I have no idea what you are talking about. There has never been a door or room in that spot since I moved in here.” The two guards looked at Twilight, who blushed due to embarrassment. “ I am so sorry to have bothered you Foalsitter.” Foalsitter simply smiled and waved her off. “Don’t you worry about it. I know that you’re just on the lookout for ponies who are up to no good, but I can assure you that I am not one of them.” Twilight shook Foalsitter’s hoof. “Again, I am truly sorry for the interruption. Please have pleasant day.” Twilight then led the two guards back downstairs and they exited the house. As soon as Twilight was gone, Foalsitter lit up her horn. The wall then transformed into a door. She opened it and stood before the six foals who were trapped in the magic playpen. “Well, that was a close one.” Foalsitter said. “Now there shouldn’t be any more interference between Mama and her little foals!” “U won’t get away with dis!” Applebloom shouted. “Oh but I already have.” Foalsitter said as she booped Applebloom on the nose. “I now have six little foals to give my love to, and soon I’ll have even more.” “U poopy head!” Shouted Scootaloo. Foalsitter pinched her cheeks. “Temper, temper little one. Anymore outbursts and no pony gets any dinner. Do I make myself clear?” Everypony was about to object, but the combined rumblings of their tummies quickly quieted them down. Foalsitter smiled smugly. “I thought so. Now you all play nice while Mama gets your bottles ready. And after dinner, we can have story time! Now Doesn’t that sound fun!” After Foalsitter had left the room, everypony began talking. “Wawity, what awe we going to do?” Sweetie Belle asked. “I don’t know Sweetie Bewwe.” Rarity replied. “Wainbow Dash, Big Mac, and I have twied evewything to escape.” Applebloom kicked a toy block in frustration. She then noticed that it went through a gap in the playpen. Applebloom immediately had an idea. “Evewyone, I’ve found a gap in da pwaypen! If we can keep Foalsitter distwacted long enough, I can cwawl through and get help!” “Dat sounds gweat sis!” Said Big Mac. “Only one pwoblem. How are we going to distwact Foalsitter?” Scootaloo smiled. “I know what to do!” Everypony then gathered around her to discuss the plan. A few minutes later, Foalsitter came back into the room carrying bottles of formula in her magic. “Okay my little foals! Mama is here with num nums!” Scootaloo raised her front hooves in the air and bounced up and down on her diaper. “Uppy, uppy, uppy!” Foalsitter d’awwed at the sight. “Aww, do you want uppies from Mama?” Foalsitter set down the bottles and stepped through the magical barrier to pick up Scootaloo. As soon as she was in the playpen, the other foals all jumped on Foalsitter. They crawled all over her, tickling her and giggling. “Ha ha! That tickles!” Foalsitter said. “You want to play with Mama? Then let’s play!” While the others kept Foalsitter busy, Applebloom crawled over to the gap in the playpen. She squeezed through and popped out. Applebloom then quickly and quietly crawled out of the room, making sure that Foalsitter did not see her. Applebloom then crawled down the hall and made her way to the stairs. She climbed down step by step, landing on her padded bottom each time. When she reached the bottom, Applebloom looked for a way out. She tried the front door, but soon realized that she was too small to reach the handle. Applebloom looked around in a panic. She knew that the others couldn’t keep Foalsitter distracted forever, and that eventually she would notice her absence. Applebloom then saw the downstairs bathroom. She knew of only one way out of the house, and she didn’t like it. Applebloom crawled into the bathroom and made her way onto the toilet with a little hop. Applebloom pushed down on the handle. She then took a deep breath and jumped into the swirling water. Applebloom spun around and around until she was sucked down the drain. Foalsitter stopped playing with the foals as soon as she heard the downstairs toilet flush. “Wait a minute, somepony is missing!” Foalsitter ran out of the room and fled down the stairs towards the bathroom. When she reached the toilet it was too late. “NO!!!” Foalsitter screamed. Applebloom was swept through the water in the sewer and popped out of a drain pipe to the outside. It was dark out, but Applebloom knew that she had to keep moving. She was sure that Foalsitter was close on her tail. Applebloom crawled until she reached the center of Ponyville. Tired, cold, and filthy from her toilet escape Applebloom sat down and began to cry. She only stopped once she heard a familiar voice. “Why, hello there little filly. What are you doing out here all by yourself?” It was Grandpa Pear. He picked up Applebloom and wiped away her tears. “Say, for a foal you look awfully familiar.” “It’s me Gwandpa Peaw! Applebloom!” She said. “I need youw help!” Grandpa Pear was in shock. “Applebloom?! What happened to you?” “A mean mawe named Foawsittew foawnapped me, Sweetie Belle, Scootawoo, Big Mac, Wainbow Dash, and Wawity and turned us all into foaws. She keeps us wocked up in a woom and gives us spankies if we don’t behave.” “Well then, it’s a good thing I found you. We need to get you to your sister and princess Twilight. But first let’s give you a bath because you reek.” Applebloom blushed. “Yeah, I had to fwush mysewf down da potty to escape.” Grandpa Pear placed Applebloom on his back as he made his to Sweet Apple Acres, holding his nose as he went. Back at Foalsitter’s house, Foalsitter confronted the remaining five foals. “Mama is very upset with you all. You tricked Mama into playing with you, but it was all just a ruse so that one of you could escape!” Foalsitter then lifted all of the foals into the air with her magic. “Remember, Mama only does this because Mama loves you. Mama takes no pleasure in doing this.” Foalsitter then lined up all the foals, grabbed a paddle and gave them each a harsh spanking. The house became filled with the sound of crying foals.
You can call me MamaAt Sweet Apple Acres Granny Smith, Grandpa Pear, and Applejack all listened to Applebloom’s tale of escape from Foalsitter while giving her a bubble bath. “I knew that Foalsitter was up to no good!” Applejack said angrily. “I just wish I could have stopped her before she turned you into a foal Applebloom.” “Now don’t beat yourself up Applejack.” Said Granny Smith. “There’s no way you could have known. Besides, from what Applebloom has told us this Foalsitter seems to be a few apples short of a pie if you ask me.” “On the bright side, I at least to see what my granddaughter looks like as a foal.” Grandpa Pear said. “And I must say, she is as cute as a button.” Grandpa pear pinched Applebloom’s cheek while he scrubbed her down. Applebloom became irritated. “Gwandpa this is sewious! We need to wescue Big Mac and da othews! Awso, I don’t wike being a foaw. I don’t even have my cutie mawk anymowe.” Grandpa Pear could not help chuckle a little. “You’re so adorable when you’re angry.” “You think she’s cute, you should have seen Applejack as a foal. Why, when she got upset her cheeks would become all puffy! Cutest thing I ever did see!” Said Granny Smith. “Granny!” Applejack yelled in frustration. Granny Smith laughed. “Yep, just like that!” After Applebloom was bathed and freshly diapered (which she didn’t like) Applejack placed Applebloom on her back and trotted over to Twilight’s castle. Once Twilight saw Applebloom and heard what Foalsitter was doing, she was in shock. “But I just searched Foalsitter’s house.” Twilight said. “I tried to find the door to the nursery, but it wasn’t there!” “Dat because Foawsittew used a speww to hide da doow.” Applebloom explained. “Of course! It all makes sense now. Well don’t worry Applebloom, I’ll gather up the royal guards and we’ll put a stop to Foalsitter once and for all.” A worried look came over Applebloom’s face. “Huwwy! Now dat she knows I’m gone, who knows what she wiww do to da othews!” It did not take long for Twilight to gather up a half dozen guards. Together they, along with Applejack and Applebloom, marched right towards Foalsitter’s house. Once outside the front door, Twilight called out to Foalsitter. “Listen up Foalsitter! We know that you are holding foals hostage. Just release them and walk out with your hooves in the air so that we can end this peacefully.” For a moment there was silence. All of a sudden, a shot of magic burst through one of the windows. It hit the ground in front of Twilight, leaving a small crater. Foalsitter then called out from the window. “You’ll never take these foals away from their Mama! You hear me, never!” Foalsitter then fired another shot of magic. Twilight erected a magic shield around herself, Applejack, Applebloom, and the guards as Foalsitter continued to fire magic blasts at them. “Foalsitter is more powerful than I originally thought!” Twilight said. Applejack held Applebloom close as the shield shook from all the magic shots. “I think that we might need some more backup here Twi!” Suddenly, Applebloom had an idea. “Wait! I have a pwan!” Applebloom told Twilight and Applejack her plan. Applejack was not pleased. “Are you crazy Applebloom!? There is no way that I’m letting you put yourself in danger like that.” “Pwease Appwejack? It’s da onwy way to stop Foalsittew.” Applebloom then made doughy eyes and quivered her lower lip. Applejack sighed. “All right, we’ll do your plan. Just try not to get hurt.” Twilight then called out to Foalsitter. “Foalsitter listen! If you stop firing at us, we’ll give you back Applebloom!” The shots of magic stopped. The front door opened a little bit and Foalsitter stuck her head out. “I want you all to stay put! Have Applebloom crawl over to me!” Applejack set Applebloom down on the ground. The guards parted way as Applebloom crawled towards the house. Foalsitter then stepped outside and called out to her. “That’s right, come here to Mama!” When Applebloom was close enough, Foalsitter scooped her up in her front hooves. “Oh, Mama missed you so much!” Foalsitter then kissed Applebloom repeatedly. Applebloom then sprang into action. She latched onto Foalsitter’s face and refused to let go. Foalsitter panicked. “I can’t see!” She shouted as she ran around in circles. Applejack then sprang forward with a lasso. She tossed the lasso and tied up all four of Foalsitter’s legs. Applebloom was sent flying from Foalsitter’s face, but fortunately she was caught by one of the guards. Before Foalsitter could get back up, Twilight struck her with a sleeping spell and she was out like a light. With Foalsitter subdued, Twilight and the others made their way into the house and up the stairs. Twilight opened the door to the nursery to find the five remaining foals. Their bottoms were bright red, and they were sniffling and crying. “Sweetie Bewwe! Scootawoo! I’m back and we took cawe of Foawsittew!” Applebloom proclaimed. The faces of the foals lit up. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo wobbled over to Applebloom, and the three friends all had a big group hug. Big Mac crawled over to Applejack and hugged her leg. Applejack scooped Big Mac up and hugged him back. “It looks like I should be calling you Little Mac.” Applejack said jokingly. “Eyup!” Big Mac replied. Rarity and Rainbow Dash both crawled over to Twilight. “Twiwight! We awe so gwad you came!” Rarity said. “Foawsittew gave us da spankies with a big paddwe! It weawwy huwt!” “Oh my, that sounds terrible!” Twilight said. “I am so sorry that it took me so long to find you.” “Dat okay, you hewe now and evewythings going to be awwight.” Said Rainbow Dash. After looking through her library for a couple of hours, Twilight finally found a spell book that contained a fix for the age-regression spell Foalsitter had used. After speaking an incantation Rarity, Big Mac, Rainbow Dash, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were turned back to normal. “My, it feels good to be out of those diapers.” Rarity said. “I don’t know how foals can stand to use them, they’re so uncomfortable.” “Not to mention that they made your butt look big.” Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. “They did not!” Rarity shot back. “Besides, you were stuck in them too.” “Yeah, but I make everything I wear look awesome!” Rainbow Dash replied. Rarity then used her magic to zap a diaper onto Rainbow Dash’s bottom. “You’re right darling, you do make diapers look awesome!” Rarity said with a laugh. Rainbow Dash was steaming mad. “RARITY!!!” Twilight face-hoofed herself and let out a sigh. “You two are worse than the Cake twins.” Twilight later went to have a meeting with Foalsitter. She had been locked up in a padded cell in Celestia’s dungeon. She was in a straight jacket, and a magic suppression ring had been placed on her horn. When Twilight entered the cell, Foalsitter looked up at her. “Are you here to give Mama back her foals?” She asked. Twilight shook her head. “No, I’m here to ask you some questions. Why did you foalnap all those ponies and turn them into foals?” Foalsitter lowered her head. “After I was born my parents abandoned me and left me at an orphanage. All I wanted was family to call my own. Every day I would see fillies and colts get adopted, but no pony ever wanted me. When I was old enough I moved out and lived in various places, working odd jobs. Then my biological clock kicked in. I wanted a foal of my own, to love and care for. I tried looking for the right stallion to be my special somepony, but they were never interested. I tried to adopt, but all of the orphanages I tried would not let me have a foal due to my financial situation.” “Did you try in vitro fertilization?” Twilight asked. A tear rolled down Foalsitter’s cheek. “I visited several doctors, but they all said the same thing. Apparently I am barren and cannot have children of my own. I became distraught. It seemed like the entire universe was against me having a family. I ask you Twilight Sparkle, an immortal princess no less, how is it fair that I cannot be apart of a family nor have a foal of my own?” Twilight was at a loss for words. “Tell me how you learned that age-regression spell.” “I was working at a bookstore a few years ago. I came across the spell in an old spellbook while cleaning out the back of the shop. It was the answer to all of my prayers. If I could not have a foal of my own or adopt one, then I would simply turn a pony back into a foal. And not just any pony, but a pony who led a stressful life who could do with the carefree lifestyle of foalhood.” “Then why all of the spankings?” Twilight asked. “That’s just how I was raised as a foal growing up in the orphanage. If we misbehaved, then we got a smack on the bottom until we learned to be good little fillies and colts.” Twilight was silent for a few moments. “Foalsitter, I am truly sorry for the harsh life you have had to live. I nor anypony else will ever be able to understand what you have been through. However, I must say that you had no right to turn ponies into foals and then hold them against their will. I am sure that with enough rehabilitation, you can one day rejoin society as a functioning citizen.” “And what about being a mother?” Foalsitter asked. Twilight tapped her chin as she thought. “I tell you what. If you can reform yourself, and I mean really work hard to turn over a new leaf, then when you get out I will help you adopt a foal.” A smile came across Foalsitter’s face. “Really? You mean it?” “Just ease up on the spankings.” After a year, Foalsitter was finally released and deemed reformed. She got her old job back at Barnyard Bargains, and even fixed up her house on the edge of Ponyville. Twilight stayed true to her word, and helped Foalsitter to adopt a foal of her own. The big day came as Twilight and Foalsitter sat in the waiting room of the orphanage. An administrator then came out holding a one month old colt with a white mane and tail and, light brown hair, and burgundy eyes. “Say hello to your new son, Butter Rum.” The administrator said as she gave Butter Rum over to Foalsitter. As Foalsitter held Butter Rum in her hooves, the little foal giggled and reached up to boop her on the nose with his chubby little hoof. Foalsitter smiled, tears of joy running down her face. “Hello little one. You can call me Mama.”
