//-------------------------------------------------------// Let's Raise Some Foals -by niightear- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Foal Mind and Age //-------------------------------------------------------// Foal Mind and Age Pinkie Pie yawned as she collapsed on the bed. "G'morning Yawn! Flutters!" she exclaimed. "Good morning Pinkie." Fluttershy said. "Don't'cha need to go to work at Sugarcube Corner?" "I asked for an off day." Pinkie Pie yawned. "I want to spend it with my new wife!" Fluttershy nodded, flying down the stairs. Pinkie Pie followed, collapsing on the sofa. "This might seem random - okay, everything I say is random - but I wish I could get experience being a mother." Pinkie said. "You already do. You've babysat the Cake Twins multiple times." Fluttershy said. "Yes, but that's not enough to have enough experience to have a child!" Pinkie exclaimed. "... Is it? I wonder if we could foalsit the Crusaders..." "Hm... Maybe... No..." Fluttershy murmured. "What is it Flutters?" Pinkie asked. "Well I was just thinking that maybe we could ask our friends... to... cast an age spell on themselves... so we can know what it's like to take care of foals..." Fluttershy murmured. "That's a great idea!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "C'mon!" Pinkie Pie bounced off, as Fluttershy sighed and followed. "Come to mine and Fluttershy's Cottage in... hm... half-an-hour? No... Fourty-five minutes!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed to Twilight, hopping away. She told all her friends that. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity... Fluttershy made tea for her friends, and Pinkie Pie made cupcakes. "Can foals eat cupcakes?" Pinkie asked. "Maybe mush them a teensy weensy tiny bit?" Fluttershy suggested. Pinkie Pie agreed, starting to crush them and then slowing down. A few minutes later they heard a knock on the door. "Anypony know why Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie needed all four of us?" Twilight asked. "I do not. Maybe it's just a sleepover?" Rarity asked. "But I'm not dressed for a sleepover!" "I know Fluttershy, she doesn't exactly like sleepovers. She has to sleep in the dark, and, sure, other ponies are there, but still!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "AJ, darling, you've been quiet. Do you know anything?" Rarity asked the earth pony. "Ah don't either. Sorry. How's everypony's been doing?" Applejack changed the subject. "Good." all the ponies said, albeit in different ways. Fluttershy opened the door, and said, "Hi everypony! Please, take a seat." Pinkie Pie hopped over with the plate of sort of mushed cupcakes. "Did you mess up the cupcake mix? If not, why are they... mushed?" Rainbow asked. "Well... Fluttershy, could you please... er..." Pinkie awkwardly shifted her hoof. "Pinkie, why are you the shy and nervous one right now? Gasp! Did you switch personalities!?" Rainbow Dash asked. "No. We didn't. You see... Well..." Fluttershy gave a breath in. "We want to prepare for being mothers so we thought we'd ask if you guys would be fine with casting an age spell - and foal mind spell - on yourselves! Is it okay?" Pinkie Pie asked. Their friends just gave them blank stares. Twilight was the first one to speak. "For how long?" she asked. "As long as you want I guess. I guess at least a week?" Pinkie said. "If you're okay with it, that is?" The four ponies discussed it, before nodding. "Twilight, you'll have to do it." Rarity said. "I can't." "Okay." Twilight sighed. Fluttershy grabbed a book, flipping it to a page. "Here it is." Twilight's horn glowed as she recited the spell. "Just replace "filly" with "foal"." Give me the naivety of a foal, the joy and obliviousness, the thought that I can do anything. "There's one other thing that's needed!" Pinkie exclaimed. She pushed another book in front of Twilight, flipping it to a certain page. "Foal Mind Spell?" Twilight read. "Why?" "And why isn't the age spell taking effect?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well when Starlight doesn't distract Twilight it takes a bit!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "And it's so we truly know what it's like being mothers!" "Okay." Twilight sighed. Give me the mind a foal, the same thoughts of a foal, please remove the pressures I have in my life Twilight's horn glowed and surrounded her friends and her. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie hid behind the sofa. A few minutes later the light faded. Pinkie Pie was the first to peek around the sofa to see four foals. "The spell worked Flutters!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. The foals clamored over her. "Hi girls! Is everypony okay?" "Mama!" the foals exclaimed. "Wait... Mama?" Pinkie asked. "Fluttershy! Are you okay over there?" "Yes, I am! But did they call you or me Mama?" Fluttershy asked. "That's not the important thing! What is is the fact that somepony was called Mama!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Great... Anyways... Um... Dashie, how'd you get your cutie mark?" "I'm a foaw Mama! I was a mawe, but I don't wemembew that much fwom that wife!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Except that I was fwiends wiff Twiwight and Wawity and Abbojack!" "What about me and... er... Mama?" Fluttershy asked. "Youw ouw pawents, duh!" she exclaimed. "Can I pway wiff my fwiends?" "Well if we're all of your parents then how are they your friends and not your... er... sissies!" Fluttershy asked. "I don't know! We just don't wike cawwing each othews Sissy or anythin wike dat! I'm goin to pway with dem." Rainbow Dash managed to fly away - just barely as her wings were small - leaving a veeeery confused Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. "What in Celestia?" Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie said in sync. "Jinx! You owe me a soda!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "This! Is! Serious Pinkie!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Twilight? Rarity? Applejack?" The three foals approached. "Yeah Mommy?" Twilight asked. "Is evewythin okay Mommy, dawin?" Rarity asked. "Um... Applejack?" Fluttershy said. "Yeah Ma? Everythin' okay?" Applejack asked. Well at least one of them calls me something that isn't Mommy. Fluttershy thought. "N - Nothing sweeties. Go and play with Dashie." The three foals ran to the pegasus. "Well what in Celestia's fridging flank is going on?" Pinkie asked. "I don't know... We don't even have the right supplies to take care of them! ... do we?" Fluttershy asked. "Do you keep diapers from foalsitting the Cake Twins?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I think so!" she said. "But I don't have cribs or toys or anything!" "Guess we'll have to shop for supplies..." Pinkie sighed. Author's Note Yes that was the same spell from my fanfic My Little Filly. //-------------------------------------------------------// Asking Questions //-------------------------------------------------------// Asking Questions "Mama, what awe you and Mommy doin?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We're just going shopping for foal supplies! We'll be back in an hour... half-an-hour... an amount of time!" Pinkie exclaimed. "You take care of your siblings - er, friends!" "Okie Mama!" Rainbow Dash fluttered her wings, flying away. Fluttershy entered the room, her mane put up in a ponytail. "Thought I looked more like a mom this way. What do you think?" "Well you do!" Pinkie exclaimed. "If we want to be back before dinner we should probably go." "That sounds perfect! Let's go!" Fluttershy flew through the door, her ponytail - and mane in general - flying through the air. She's so beautiful! Pinkie Pie thought. "Whewe's Mama?" Twilight asked. "She said she and Mommy wewe goin shoppin fow suppwies and they'd be back in an hour... half-an-hour.. an amwount of twime!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Ah'm hungwy!" Applejack exclaimed. "I want abbos!" Twilight looked at her horn. "I don't know why I haff dis but..." She grunted as her horn sparked, managing to open the fridge. "Thewe! Somepwony get some fwood out pwease!!" All of the foals - except Twilight, of course - got food out of the fridge. Rainbow Dash some cupcakes, Rarity cucumber sandwiches and Applejack apples. "Mmmm! Wait... can mah foaw teeth eat dis? Ah don't think they can!" tears formed in the orange foal's eyes. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" "Shh, shh, it's okie Abbojack!" Twilight exclaimed. She looked around, hovering over a bunny. Applejack cuddled the bunny, and started to feel sleepy. "Ah feew sweepy! Ah'm goin ta Mama's bwed! G'nwight evewypony!" "But we haven't had fwood yet AJ!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Well oh well! She doesn't wike my fashion anyways!" Rarity exclaimed. "You mean youw snake scawves and bunny "hats"?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, but that's not what mattews!" Twilight exclaimed. "Why do me and Wawity have howns? Both Mommy and Mama don't have horns!" "Why do you have wings and a horn?" Rainbow Dash asked. Twilight cocked her head in confusion, as Rainbow Dash opened Twilight's wings. "I have wings? Oh... Um... Why dwo I hwave wings and a hown?" Twilight asked. "I... don't kno..." Rainbow Dash said. "Maybe we can ask Mama and Mommy when they gwet hwome!" "Do you wemembew anythin fwom bein a mawe? I don't, but do eithew of you?" Rarity asked. "No," both of them said. "Weww Abbojack pwobabwy doesn't eithew then. Daggit!" Rarity exclaimed. She sighed. "I'm tiwed! But I don't wanna go to sweep untiww Mama and Mommy come back fwom shoppin!" "Should they share a crib or should we get separate cribs for them?" Fluttershy asked. "I don't know. I'm just trying to get food for them! Let's see... Oh! Applesauce for Applejack... um... what food does Twilight like?" Pinkie asked. "Not quesadillas, I know that much." Fluttershy sighed. "I'll go get some stuffed animals for them," she said, flying off to the toys row. "Let's see... Dash would like a Wonderbolt stuffed animal, Applejack maybe a dog, Twilight an owl, and Rarity a cat! Perfect!" She flew back to Pinkie with the stuffed animals, seeing the cart quite full. "What did you get?" "I got AJ applesauce, Rarity this food that apparentally tastes like cucumber sandwiches, Rainbow Dash this one that looks like a rainbow but doesn't taste like one - it tastes like cotton candy - and lastly, Twilight this one that tastes like eggs! Hee hee hee!" Pinkie exclaimed. "And to answer your crib question... maybe two cribs? Twi and Dash can share one, and Rares and AJ can share one?" "Maybe..." Fluttershy said. "Well I'll get a cloud crib and a... hm..." "Maybe a traditional crib with jewels?" Pinkie suggested. "But I dunno! Do we almost have everything?" "I think so! Cribs are the only thing we need. I'll get the cribs!" Fluttershy exclaimed, before getting the cribs. One made of clouds, one a traditional one with jewels embedded in it. "Abbojack! I think Mama and Mommy awe comin home now!" Rarity exclaimed. "Abbojack! AJ!" Applejack yawned and sat up. "Weawwy? How do ya know dat?" "I dwon't. I'm just guessin!" Rarity exclaimed. Her horn sparked as she heard the front door open. "We're home!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Mama! Mommy!" the foals exclaimed. "Foals, calm down!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "We got toys for you!" "Weawwy?!" Rainbow Dash asked. "Awwwwww yweeeeeeeeeeah!" "Oh! What is it? Pwease say it's somethin fashionabwe!" Rarity exclaimed. "Ah'm hungwy! Pwease say you got fwood twoo!" Applejack exclaimed. "Thanks!" Twilight exclaimed. "Dashie," Pinkie said, "here you go!" Rainbow Dash was given a Wonderbolts plushie. "I wuv it!" she exclaimed. "Rarity, here you go!" Fluttershy gave her a cat stuffed animal. "Here's your's AJ, and your's Twilight!" Pinkie exclaimed, giving them their stuffed animals. "You can play with them while we put everything away!" Rainbow Dash flew around with her plushie, Rarity gave hers a "scarf", Applejack snuggled with hers, and Twilight hovered it around. "Wait! I haff somethin to ask!" Twilight exclaimed. "What is it Twilight?" Fluttershy asked. "Why do me and Wawity have howns?" Twilight asked. "Um... well... I... don''t know! Go play with your friends Twi!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Okie..." Twilight said, walking away with her stuffed animal levitated in front of her.
