Prolouge: Meet Timey, Choca Butter, Muffin Top...and Derp

Twilight groaned as she rubbed her head and looked around at what appeared to be a nursery. The mare turned little filly blinked as she looked down at her body. She now had a grey coat and there was a poofy white diaper with some cute little pink hourglass patterns strapped around her rump. Patterns that were quickly disappearing due to her diaper’s damp condition. The filly blinked as she turned to see Dr Whooves across from her sleeping in the same crib. She was quite surprised as she turned over to the colt. “Pssst! Hey…”

Dr. Whooves whimpered as he turned to Twilight with a smile. “Hey, you had a good night's sleep?”

The little filly climbed over the crib, showing off her soaked diaper and snapped. “What's going on? Why am I a foaw and why is my coat a different colow now?”

Dr. Whooves yawned as he stretched his hooves, showing his diaper was also soaked as he slowly got up. “Oh, that’s so we can sell it to the other foals that you’re my sissy and not ‘Twily’.”

Twilight squeaked as she stammered. “Seiwouswy?! Ten who’s gonna be owa mommy?!” And she blinked. “Why did I tawk so funny just now?”

“Ya a foaw now, so you gotta tawk wike a foaw to not wook suspicious,” Dr. Whooves explained as he spoke in the same lisp. “Now be quiet, owa mommy’s gonna be here soon.”

Twilight then turned to see a mare that looked like Dr. Whooves come into their nursery. The mare in question was a brown coated pegasus with her wings folded to her sides, bright blue eyes, and a pink tie around her neck as she waved a hoof. “Hello, my little foals!” The two foals both squeaked as they were raised up for diaper changes on a changing table.

“Now, Dr.Whooves, did you explain the whole situation to Twilight?” The mare cooed. “She looks rather confused.”

“Not weally, sowwie, didn’t gots awot of time to say what was happening,” The little colt giggled as his rump was cleaned with wipes and freshly powdered. “Is funny to tawk wike this. Now I can tawk to foaws without tem thinking I weird.”

The older mare got quite frustrated and snapped. “Ugh, really? You were supposed to explain everything to her before she got here,” She turned to the little chubby Twilight as this alternate version of Dr. Whooves started the diaper change, unstrapping Twilight’s soaked padding and wiping her down as she explained. “I’m so sorry about all of this. You’re probably quite confused right now. I wish my partner would’ve explained things better. My name is Time Flies by the way, but just call me Timey.”

“Ok...Timey,” The little foal was quite nervous as she asked. “So, is tis Stawlight Glimmew twying to make me stay as a foaw forevew?”

Timey sighed as she shook her head as she replied. “Look, I’ll brief you on what's going on soon, ok? And trust me, if everything goes well you’ll only be a foal for a day.” The mare then picked the foals up onto her back and trotted downstairs.

Twilight squeaked as she kicked about in her pampers. Seeing so many other ponies turned into foals, she should’ve guessed it was only a matter of time before she would be wearing diapers again. It was such an odd feeling being in a diaper, as it was rather comfortable and snug around her rump.

The mare then placed the two foals into two highchairs and slipped bibs around their necks. Timey giggled as she chirped. “Alright, now for breakfast!” A bowl of oatmeal was nearby, and she took a rubber spoon as she started to spoon feed the two and sent the glop into their mouths.

As the two chomped down on the foal food. Dr Whooves seemed to be used to this munching away. But for Twilight it was odd not having teeth as she smashed the foal food in her mouth, swallowing it down and getting it all over her face.

Timey dawwed as she slowly wiped their faces. “So Dr. Whooves, I heard you were a baby for a while? And then even diaper dependent as an adult for a month?!”

“Y...yeah, guess ya can say I used to being in diapews,” The doctor sighed as he scrunched the padding around his legs. “I even had to teach twins about ta potty.”

The mare snickered behind a hoof. “Oh, don’t be so embarrassed, you always were such a cute foal. Now come on and finish your breakfast.” She then continued shoving more oatmeal into his mouth along with Twilight. After the two had finished their oatmeal, she plopped two bottles of formula into their mouths as they suckled the chalky formula down their throats.

Twilight squeaked at the taste. It was actually really good! No wonder Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Shining had loved this stuff during their regressions, it was so creamy and sweet. She barely even noticed she was sucking down air from the bottle until it was removed with an audible pop.

After their mouths were wiped the foals were picked up from their highchairs, and placed down in a playpen as Timet got out a chalkboard, rolling it in front of the two as explained. “Let me explain everything, Twilight. Dr Whooves and I are a part of Whooves Space and Time Bureau. Our job is to protect the space time continuum and ensure that no one interferes with it. We recently noticed a time rift caused by Starlight Glimmer, who is heading here tomorrow. Our job is to stop her from giving you, Twilight Sparkle, a potion that’ll have you remain a foal indefinitely.”

Twilight gulped, If she stayed a baby forever she was sure she’d never meet her friends and Nightmare Moon, Midnight or Discord would take over Equestria. As the mare turned foal thought this over in her head Timey continued to explain the situation.

“While on this mission, I'm posing as your mother and you two and Dr. Whooves are my twin foals. I can understand your foal babble but no other adult can. However, that also means you’ll be able to communicate with the other foals that'll be with you at the daycare,” Timey then warned them. “You cannot tell any one of them your true identities, you’re just average, one year old foals. We’re to stop Starlight from giving Twilight the potion, snatch it and send her back to her original timeline. Once we're done, we send you, Twilight back to your original timeline as an adult and our mission is complete. Pretty simple really, now are there any questions?”

Twilight raised a hoof as she waited to be called on.

Timey giggled as she asked. “Yes, Twilight?”

“Got a few questions...um...bout me I guess…” Twilight commented. “Ya see, I guess we gotta be awound me as a foaw, so I feel as if I shouldn’t be hewe, wight? I could mess up ta timewine by even tawkin’ to her, wight”

“Well as long as you don’t tell her you’re Twilight you should be fine,” Timey answered. “That reminds me. You and Dr. Whooves will have code names to avoid attracting suspicion,” She pointed a hoof at the baby version of Twilight. “Dr. Whooves will be Choca Butter and Twilight will be Muffin Top. I should’ve explained earlier, my codename is Sweet Bread and my fake backstory is I’m a baker that recently came here to start my own bakery with my husband.”

“Muffin Top?!” Twilight whined, being quite disappointed in her name.

Timey laughed as she flapped her wings and explained. “Yep, my husband picked that one out for our first daughter. Now, your goal today is to observe baby Twilight and the schedule of the daycare. We need to know what she does, and make friends with her mom/your mom, Twilight Velvet. My job then will be to have you two sleepover at their house tonight to make sure Twilight is watched the whole time. All we know is that Starlight will be here tomorrow and we have to be there to stop her no matter what it takes!”

“Right!” The foals chirped as they were picked up and strapped in a two seated stroller.

“Now, Dr. Whooves has done this a few times actually,” Timey explained before looking to Twilight. “But Twilight, this is your first time as a baby so you have to act the part. That means use your diapers, play with the other foals and don’t be afraid to get messy.”

Twilight sighed as she scrunched her pampers, feeling embarrassed that she’d be using diapers all day as she asked. “Yeah, yeah I got it...tough, why did ya give me a gwey coat?”

“Oh just to make you more like me. Ponies might find it odd that you're my daughter being a unicorn. But I'll tell them I do have a few unicorns on my mother’s side.” Timey explained with a smile on her face.

Just then an earth pony stallion came through the door. He had a grey coat with gold eyes and a short blonde mane and tail. He was rather chubby with a chef’s hat on his head and an apron tied around his body. “Hey! Your um Time Space buddies set up our shop! Everything is good to go!” He then turned and dawwed at the two. “You made Twilight look like our daughter, she's perfect!”

Timey flew over and nuzzled the two as she made sure they were snug in their stroller. “Well, it can sell our little fantasy more easily, right? We do have twins that look exactly like them at home.”

Twilight blushed as she asked. “So, ya ta male vewsion of Dewpy, wight?”

The stallion scratched his head, looking confused by Twilight’s response. “Um well my name isn’t Derpy, it’s Derp o Muffin Top...but friends call me Derp for short.”

Twilight giggled at the silly name. “Weww, guess ya my fake dad.”

“Yep! And you two look exactly like my foals in our dimension! Timey keeps trying to explain everything but I don’t follow…” He blushed while looking down, feeling a bit embarrassed for not really knowing what was going on.

Timey nuzzled him. “Oh stop, not everypony needs to be super smart. I love your baking and you're an amazing dad. But I just don’t want you having to worry about not messing up the timeline. So all you need to do is sell muffins that should only cause a few minor differences in the timeline, nothing major. What Starlight is planning could alter history all together.”

Her husband nodded as he kissed her and Dr Whooves blushed. “Is so weiwd being babied by an awternate version of yasewf and your wife.”

Twilight sighed as she looked upwards. “Yeah, it's wather cute, but I tink that what I’m gonna do is weird. I'll be the first pony eva to actuawwy meet mysewf as a baby.”

Dr Whooves blinked as he tapped a hoof to his chin. “Ya wight! Tis quite a histowical moment.”

Twilight scrunched the padding between her legs with a blush growing on her face as her diaper started yellowing again and she squeaked. “Maybe this is one of those histowical moment betew weft buwied.”

Dr Whooves laughed at Twilight soaking her diaper and exclaimed. “Nah uh! I gonna wecowd ya with ya weaw baby sewf! It’ww be interesting on what ya two tawk about.”

Twilight blushed. “Yeah, maybe...tough befowe I went ta Ponviwwe I wasn’t ta nicest pony. I hope tat if anyting, maybe I can teach hew abit about fweindship and not be so bossy. Otherwise, being my fwiend is gonna be hawdew ten it wooks.”

Chapter One: Back to Magic Daycare

Twilight and Dr. Whooves were both quite embarrassed at being pushed through the streets of Canterlot by Time Flies with their pudgy foalish bodies now exposed to the crowd of ponies before them walking about.

Twilight was quite surprised at how, despite being over twenty years in the past, everything about Canterlot hadn't changed much from the cobblestone streets to the fancy looking houses and the shops with noble mares and stallions strutting about. They eventually turned a corner, and overhead was a blue colored brick building with a sign that read: "Rebecca Pie's Magic Daycare." The filly's cheeks flushed pink as she was about to see her old caretaker. She didn't have any memories of her as a foal. Still, she had had some embarrassing encounters with her former caretaker.

The two were then exposed to the sounds from dozens of foals, cooing and crying as they were pushed through the front door. Time Flies went them through towards a unicorn mare wearing big, round glasses. She was rather chubby with a light grey curly mane and tail, a dark grey coat, a stubby horn shooting sparks for a cutie mark, and eyes a soft, faded blue in color. "Oh, hello! It's so nice to see new faces here!"

Time Flies flew over and extended a hoof. "Hello, My name is Sweet Bread, and I wish to register my twin foals into your daycare if that would be ok."

The mare looked down at them with a smile, making Twilight feel squeamish. "Hello, my little foals. Oh, an earth pony?! Most of my foals are unicorns."

"Yes, I know, but they're twins, and I don't want them separated if that's ok?" Time Flies asked with puppy dog eyes.

Rebecca Pie threw up a hoof. "Oh, it's fine. It's not like I've never had earth ponies and pegasus foals in my daycare before. I'll manage it."

Both of the foals quivered, not ready for what was to come as Rebecca Pie lifted the two foals with her magic and nuzzled them before plopping them onto the foam floor behind her. The mare looked up at their "mom," as she asked. "What are the little cuties names?"

"Oh, the little filly's name is Muffin Top, and the colt's name is Choco Butter," Time Flies explained as she adjusted her diaper bag before continuing. "They're both one-year-olds, though it's more one and a half."

"Oh, how adorable," Rebecca cooed while Twilight watched as her fake mother wrote down the names. The caretaker looked over the paperwork and nodded. "Everything is in place." She then lifted the two foals into the daycare on a plush ground before them.

Twilight looked around to see other foals that she knew as adults. Moondancer was reading (or rather trying to read) a picture book snug in a thick diaper with little cute moons and stars printed on the padding. Minutes and Lemon Drops were both busy playing together, building a tower of foam blocks. Twilight even gasped upon seeing Sunset Shimmer showing off her diaper with Celestia's cutie mark on her pampers to foals passing by, and Fancy Pants as a toddler shaking his pull-up, proclaiming loudly about starting potty training. It was all so surreal for the young filly, unable to comprehend seeing so many ponies she saw as adults as these innocent little foals.

Twilight and Dr. Whooves then turned their attention to one foal in particular and pointed a hoof right at a white-coated mare with a white and purple striped mane who chirped. "Hello! I'm here to drop off my precious Twilight."

"Oh, of course, Mrs. Sparkle! But I must say, she's looking rather fussy this morning." Rebecca Pie commented as Twilight Velvet held up the fussy, kicking foal in her crinkling pampers.

"Oh, she was trying to read one of my books, but she was getting drool all over it, and I had to get her to daycare." Velvet explained. The older mare then placed her baby down gently.

Baby Twilight waddled off towards a bookshelf, taking one of the picture books from the lowest shelf as she started "reading" one of them.

Time Flies, meanwhile, trotted over and "accidentally" bumped into Twilight Velvet, who cried out. "Oh, I'm sorry, miss. I wasn't paying attention."

The brown coated mare casually replied. "Oh, it's ok, I just couldn't help but admire your baby because she's so adorable."

"Oh, that's my little Twilight Sparkle, and I must say your twins are rather cute too. Are you new in Canterlot?" Twilight Velvet asked.

Time Flies threw her wings up as she replied. "Yeah, I am. Actually, would you mind having breakfast with me? My husband and I just opened a bakery."

"Of course! That sounds delicious. It's always nice to meet new faces here." Twilight Velvet chirped as she followed Time Flies out of the nursery and into the streets of Canterlot.

Twilight gulped as she looked at herself, just sitting in diapers, obviously trying to read as she whispered. "I gotta at least twy talkin' to her, ow me…" She then waddled off towards the baby version of herself, blushing at seeing the little stars on her own diaper. The Twilight from the future plopped down next to herself and held out a hoof. "Hewwo, my name Muffin Top. I new."

Twilight eyed the new filly with a dirty look and scoffed. "So what? There's wike a new foaw hewe every week. What makes ya so special?"

"Muffin Top" crossed her hooves across her chest and plopped on her padded rump, and snapped. "How wude! I may be just a foaw bu tats, not how ya make friends."

"So what, dun need fwiends." The other baby Twilight grumbled.

"Ugh, why awe ya wike tis? Ya wana pway ow somttin'?" "Muffin Top," asked, sounding quite confused.

But Twilight just stuck her tongue out at the new foal making her cry as she then waddled over somewhere else.

Minuette and Lemon Drops both turned around with surprise. "Foal tackle!" They squealed as they jumped right into Twilight, making her kick about in her crinkling pampers and laugh. "Eep! Stop tat! Ya awmost made me pee my diapee!"

The future Twilight laughed as she rose up with a blush. "Um, so...uh I Muffin Top. Whatcha two names?"

The blue-coated filly pointed at herself. "I, Minuette!"

"I Lemon Drops!" The yellow coated filly chirped out, loudly bouncing on her padding and getting all excited.

Twilight snickered as she asked. "Otay. So um, how owd awe ya two?"

Minuette tapped a hoof to her chin. "I ten months owd, I gonna be a year owd soon...Mama says that, though I dun know what months awe ow what ten is."

Lemon Drops was tapping a hoof to her chin. "I think my mama said I gonna be one soon too. Tink I wike two months away fwom being one."

Twilight was amazed at how young they were and asked. "I gots a question. Do you know...um...tat purple coated fiwwy ova thewe?"

They all turned their attention at the other Twilight as Lemon Drops got fussy and scoffed. "Oh, hew? She not very nice. She Twily Spwinkwe ow sometin' wike tat."

Minuette gave a nod as she continued. "Yeah, Lemon Drops is wight. She not very nice and can be a poopy head. Just wet hew pwetned to wead."

"Wait...she's not even weading?" Twilight responded as the other fillies nodded.

Lemon Drops giggled behind her hooves. "Yeah, she takes her hoof and twies to spew outta words, but she just babbles along and doesn't know what she doing."

Twilight rubbed her head as she realized she must've been quite the strange foal. Then she turned to Moondancer and asked. "Hey, ya pretending to wead too?"

The filly turned around and snapped. "Nu-uh! I know how to wead!"

"Oh yeah!? Ten wead to us!!" Minuette nagged back.

Moondancer grumbled as she took up a picture book and gulped as she babbled. "Um...uh..um...Ta uh foaw weaws a diapee and knows hew ABCs ow something," The other foals all burst into laughter as Moondancer whined. "Stop tat! I dunno how to wead, otay?!"

Twilight waddled over and babbled. "Is otay. I gonna need ya hewp with somethin'," They all turned to the new foal as she babbled. "I twying to um make friends with Twily."

"Why? Why would ya want to be hew fwiend?" Moondancer asked with a suspicious look. "She not very nice."

The real Twilight kicked about in her pampers, feeling quite unsure of what to say as she babbled. "Uh...weww...um...is just, I wanna make friends with hew and hep make hew not be so bossy!"

"Nah, wets go annoy Twily!" The other fillies ran off to join in with "Muffin Top" to go annoy her baby self.

Twilight continued to try reading her picture book as she turned the pages, ignoring the rest of the foals playing and babbling around her until suddenly she heard one shout out, "Foal Tackle!" And she looked up to see three foals slam into her with a cacophony of crinkling pampers and foal powder exploding outward!

Twilight groaned, looking at these other foals and shouting. "Get off me! I hate ya foaw tackwes!" She got up, blushing as the other foals were rolling around and laughing.

"Muffin Top," then stood up and babbled. "We just wana make ya lighten up a bit. Besides, ya not even weading."

Twilight got flustered as she waddled over and snapped. "I can wead!"

Minuette rolled her eyes. "Come on, Twily. We exposed Moondancew; we can easily do ya next."

Twilight plopped on her padded rump and took out the book she was reading. "I'm gonna prove to ya two tats I can wead!" She then took the picture book and trailed the words using her hoof. "Um...ta...uh…" Sweat started to pour down her face as the little filly slammed her hooves on the book. "Otay! Ya aww win, I can't wead, otay?!"

"Muffin Top" waddled over. "Hey, don't ya wowwie bout tat, I actually gots an idea to help ya and Moondacenew weawn to wead. Why don't ya start with somethin smaww?" She then took a foam block and placed it down. "Wook, tis is ta letter "A", ya gotta wean ya alphabet first before ya can weawn how to wead."

Every foal's eyes lit up at what Muffin Top did as Twilight eyed her and asked. "How do ya know ta alphabet?"

The Twilight from the future, realizing she might have exposed herself, babbled. "I...um...I weawn fwom my mommy..so...um...I can teach ya some letters," The other foals all nodded as she waddled over and showed them the blocks. "Weww um...guess ya can twy paying attention, and awso know tat I onwy know a few wettews."

The future Twilight was quite surprised to see all of her former friends also paying attention to her. She gulped, knowing she had to kind of mess up her lesson on purpose to not raise her baby self's suspicions.

After Twilight finished her lesson (which Minuette and Lemon Drops had lost interest in and ran off to play), Rebecca Pie came over and declared. "It's snack time, my little ones!" She started herding the foals all to some tables to the nursery's right side, where there were plastic tables and highchairs.

As they were fed, Twilight turned her attention to "Muffin Top" and asked. "So...um...I wondering, can ya teach me more bout ta alphabet?"

"Muffin Top" paused at the request. She couldn't believe that her baby self would be so accepting of her as she responded. "Yeah, tats no pwobwem...I...in fact my mommy wants to twy making friends with ya mommy..maybe I can sweepovew?"

Twilight was quite astounded at this as she got a spoonful of foal food plopped into her mouth. After swallowing, she replied. "I...I nevew had a sweepover before, awe tere rules?"

"Muffin Top" shook her head and explained. "No, not weawwy. We just have fun, and pway ten go ta sweep. We babies so ta ruwes of nowmaw sweepovews dun apply."

Twilight and "Muffin Top" then had their mouths wiped by Rebecca Pie as she lifted them from their highchairs and inspected their padding; both fillies cheeks grew pink as their pampers were sodden and sagging a bit.

"Oh, my, good thing I checked. I don't think your diapers could take another soak," Rebecca Pie chimed as she then placed them onto a changing table together, and their soggy diapers were quickly unstrapped; their rumps were thoroughly cleaned, powdered, and strapped into fresh pampers. "Alright. You know what time it is!" Rebecca Pie chimed as she placed them down.

The baby Twilight grumbled. "Is ciwcwe time."

Rebecca plopped the two little fillies down with the rest of the foals in a circle as the mare instructed them on how to use their magic to move the foam blocks in front of them. "Muffin Top" was a bit surprised but did as she was instructed and grunted, using her magic to levitate her block barely an inch off the ground.

Dr. Whooves sat where he was next to Fancy Pants and just picked his block up. "Thewe? Ya see, I dun need magic."

The other foals around him and snickered as Rebecca Pie clapped her hooves. "Oh, how adorable! You should meet my niece Pinkie Pie; I bet you two would have so much fun together."

Dr. Whooves snickered. "My wife would kiww me if she hewad tat."

"Ya, wife?" Fancy Pants asked.

The brown coated colt stammered. "Um...I...um...meant my pwush Pwincess Tia doll, she my wife today!"

"Oh? Tat siwwy." Fancy Pants snickered and ruffled Dr. Whooves mane.

Dr. Whooves sighed. "Tat was cwose, awmost bwew my covew." As the foals continued their simple magic exercises. Afterwards, Rebecca Pie went about doing another round of diaper checks, and Dr. Whooves sighed, having his padding poked and prodded

Fancy Pants, meanwhile, stood up and displaying his pull-up. "I aww cwean, see?! I went potty by mysewf! Tats why my mommy calls me Fancy Pumps!"

"Oh, you're doing so well with your potty training, little one! Keep it up, and you'll be out of pull-ups before you graduate to magic preschool," The mare cooed, ruffling his mane before checking the little Dr. Whooves seeing his diaper sagging and smelling. "As for you, it might be a while before you start potty training." She then went about and started changing the little colt's padding and cleaning his rump.

After he was freshly powdered and padded up in another thick set of pampers, Dr. Whooves was placed down in a crib with a blue pacifier in his mouth, looking over at Twilight in the crib across from him. "Hey...Muffin Top…how's ta mission?"

Twilight turned towards her "partner" with a smile. "Bettew ten, I expected. I teaching mysewf ABCs, and I tink we makin' pwogwess."

Dr whooves gave a sigh of relief. "Otay, good...I actually got some good info mysewf tat Fancy Pants is fwiends with Shiny Awmow, and tat tey awso gonna have a sweepovew tonight. Now that we being fwiends, I can keep an eye on ya bwothew just in case."

"Tats good...tough Shiny must be in kindegawten by now, ow even fiwst gwade. Too bad I can't take pictures of him as a cute school foaw." Twilight giggled, thinking about how cute her brother must be at a young age.

Dr. Whooves, seeing Twilight easing into her role as a foal, whispered. "How ya wike being a foaw? Getting used to it yet?"

Twilight scrunched her padding, feeling how it felt around her rump while rhythmically suckling on her pacifier and feeling quite relaxed. "Actually, it not bad; I wouldn't mind being a foaw wongew."

"Hehe, don't jinx yasewf." Dr. Whooves snickered as he laid in his crib. At the same time, Twilight nestled under her sheets, suckling her pacifier thinking about how Rebecca Pie had mentioned her niece Pinkie Pie and wondering what her friends as foals were like too.

Chapter Two: The Sleepover Back in Time

Twilight was playing with her "new" friends as they scampered around the padded floor of the nursery in their crinkling pampers, playing a game of tag. Then the unicorn was suddenly picked up by Rebecca Pie, and the filly cried out as she kicked about in her soaked pampers.

The pudgy earth pony couldn't help but daww as she cooed. "Now now, somepony needs a diapee change."

"Nah, dun want one!" Twilight cried, kicking about and whining as she was taken to a changing table, taken aback by how she was acting like quite a foal, seeing her soaked diaper and not even noticing she had gone.

After what felt like hours, she was taken from the changing table and plopped down with the rest of her friends. As they all giggled, Twilight whined as she snapped. "Seriously? Why didn' ya teww me bout' me being super soggy?"

"What ya talking bout? Who cares if ya diaper's wet, ya cwy ten somepony changes ya." Minuette babbled back in confusion.

Moondancer sat back on her padding and scoffed. "Weww, I say owa new fwiend has a point, we should've said something 'cause she probably has a diapee wash now."

The younger Twilight waddled over, shaking her padded rump about and proudly proclaimed. "Weww, I have a cwying schedule; I cry every few hours to make sure I nevew get a diapee wash."

The Twilight from the future simply sat back with a blush growing on her cheeks, only now knowing she'd been so methodical even as a foal.

Moondancer crossed her hooves across her chest with a cute pout as she scoffed. "Hey, tat my idea! I ta one who told ya bout that!"

"Nah uh!" Twilight snapped back at Moondancer. It didn't take long before the two unicorns started bickering back and forth while parents of the foals started to flood the nursery, picking up their foals one by one.

It didn't take long for Twilight Velvet and "Sweet Bread" to pluck up their little ones. "Choco Butter" and "Muffin Top" were scooped up and strapped into their strollers. The Twilight from the future turned to see her brother for the first time. Shining Armor was a chubby little school foal with a scruffy striped light and dark blue man, and he was still a blank flank.

The school colt turned to Fancy Pants, who waddled over and hugged the older colt as he exclaimed. "Hey, guess what?! My mom signed me up for preschool! I start next week!"

Shining Armor started bouncing up and down, getting quite excited as he shouted! "That's so cool! I'm still a year older than ya, though, so you need to catch up!"

Twilight Velvet looked down at the little toddler Fancy Pants and asked. "How was daycare? No accidents, I hope."

Rebecca Pie shook her head as she came over. "Nope, he went to the potty all by himself. I think he's about ready to get out of pull-ups and stop being Fancy Pumps."

"That's good to hear, I'll inform his mother when we see her tomorrow. She'll no doubt wanna through a big bash to celebrate." Twilight Velvet explained as she (along with "Sweet Bread") then took the foals and headed out the door.

The two mothers pushed their foals through the streets with the two colts toddling alongside the strollers. The Twilight from the future looked over at her brother, waddling alongside her like this. She was still captivated by seeing her as he exclaimed. "Hey, mom! Our teacher was talking about what we want to do when we grow up. I tink I want to be a knight and protect Princess Celestia."

"Oh, really? That sounds interesting." Twilight Velvet snickered as Shining took a stick and started swinging it about in his mouth.

"Muffin Top" gulped as she started to get a bit nervous, thinking she needed to make sure Shining became a royal guard and that her time travel didn't mess that up as she babbled. "Yeah, I think ya shouwd be a knight, tat would be gweat!"

"Yeah, see! Even ta baby said, I should be one!... I think?" Shining replied as he tapped a hoof to his chin.

The mothers both dawwed and chuckled as the filly sighed, assuming they'd all just heard baby babble. They eventually made it to her old house, which was surprisingly the same as how she always remembered it: The main living room rather plain with family pictures dotting the place, a couch in the back, and a rug in the middle of the room. A few things clearly showed young foals lived here as there was a playpen full of toys on the rug, plus a bunch of pictures drawn in crayon dotted about the floor and on the walls.

Shining Armor soon ran over to his mom, asking. "Hey, can I and Fancy Pants go play in my room?"

Twilight Velvet turned around and explained with a smile. "Oh, of course, you can! But you better clean up afterward if you make a mess."

Before they left, Fancy Pants asked. "Um, can Choco Butter pway with us? He and I kind of became friends at daycawe, and I want him to join us."

Twilight Velvet turned to "Sweat Bread" and asked. "Well, what do you think? Is it ok for your foal to play with the other colts?"

"Oh, of course. But do be gentle; he is only a baby after all." "Sweet Bread," replied with a smile as "Choco Butter" was lifted out from the confines of his stroller and was placed with Shining Armor, who giggled. "Yeah! I got a baby brother now! I always wanted one!" The three colts then ran off down the hall to go play in Shining's room while the young fillies were placed in the playpen.

Twilight Velvet turned to her new friend and asked. "Now, while the foals play, why don't we head to the kitchen? I would love to treat you to some of my cooking."

"Oh, of course, that sounds delightful! Have fun, you three!" Time Flies chimed as the two mares walked off.

Twilight then turned to her new friend and demanded. "Otay Muffin Top, ya in my house, and tat means ya follow my wuwes!"

The other Twilight got quite angry as she snapped. "Hold on, ya can't just boss me around!"

The baby Twilight waddled off with a smile on her face. "Yeah, I can, is my house!"

"Wha about wuwes about hospity?" "Muffin Top" snapped back.

The other Twilight paused as she turned around and asked. "What awe tose?"

"Muffin Top," adjusted her diaper and explained. "Tey means tat if ya gots guests over, ya suppose to be nice an ya have been quite wude to me since we met."

Twilight started to make a fit before plopping on her padded behind and shouted. "Fine! If they ruwes ten, we gots to fowwow tem, I guess!"

"Good, now it time to continue your lessons; we weft off at C fow cat!" "Muffin Top" explained as she showed more blocks with letters printed on them toward herself, wondering how these lessons might affect the future.

Later that evening, the two Twilights were so engrossed in their lessons they had no idea how late it was and how used their diapers were.

"Oh, my goodness!" Twilight Velvet strolled in with her nose wrinkled. "I can't believe how messy those diapers are!"

"Muffin Top" squeaked as she noticed the smell and felt so embarrassed for not noticing using her pampers. At the same time, Twilight grumbled to herself about forgetting her "crying schedule."

The mares came over to the two foals and took them out to clean their rumps. And as Twilight Velvet did so, she looked at "Muffin Top" and whispered. "This is gonna sound odd, but you look like my daughter. Why is that?"

Time Flies walked into the living room; as soon as she overheard what Twilight Velvet said, she quickly responded. "Oh, come now, all foals look the same from a distance!"

Twilight Velvet snickered at herself as she then exclaimed. "You're right; I mean, I obviously didn't have twins!" She then lifted both foals with her magic, plopped onto the couch, took out two foal bottles, and plopped them into their mouths.

Both Twilights cried out as they suckled down their formula, kicking about in their fresh pampers.

Time Flies watched with a smile as she joked. "They do look like twins, don't they?"

"Oh, they might be; I've never seen Twilight get along with other foals this well before." Velvet responded, nuzzling both of the cute little fillies.

Time Flies laughed. "And it seems like the colts tuckered themselves out too. I found them all sleeping on the floor, so I tucked them in bed."

"Oh, thank you, Sweet Bread." Twilight Velvet whispered.

Twilight rolled her eyes as "Muffin Top" shrugged while they finished their bottles. Twilight Velvet then took them into Twilight's old nursery. It was quite adorable with little stars and moons printed on the purple walls; there was a changing table in the back of the room with a pink foam top, a small bookshelf full of picture books, and a dollhouse. The older mare then went about tucking the foals in the crib, making sure they had plush animals, plopped pacifiers into their mouths, and watched as they suckled on the rubber bulbs.

"Well, I guess I'll leave you with the foals for the night. Thank you for watching them." "Sweat Bread," whispered.

"No problem, you and your husband go have fun!" Twilight Velvet exclaimed as Time Flies left (though not before winking at Twilight, who sighed, watching her "mom" leave). Then Twilight Velvet slowly went to the nursery as well.

The Twilight from the future laid down with her younger self when the other filly declared. "Ya, a weird foaw, ya know that?"

"Muffin Top" gulped as she turned to the baby version of herself. "Wha do ya mean by that?"

"Weww ya dun cwy, ya weirded out by ya dirty diapees, ya seem to be very interested in my bwuda, and ya wook wike me….if I wouwd guess ya either my wost twin ow ya an big pony version of me fwom the future." Twilight snapped.

"Muffin Top" burst into laughter, "Oh that siwwy, I not fwom ta future! Besides, ya have a cwying schedule and weawning to wead at one, so I would say that isn't nowmaw fow a foaw either. Ya couwd pwobabwy potty train yasewf if ya wanted to."

Twilight eyed her fellow foal. "Maybe ya, wight. But I was onwy pwetneding ta wead, ya actuawwy known ya ABCs."

"Muffin Top" gulped with sweat pouring down her face. If her past self learned the truth, it could alter her future in ways where she didn't even know what could happen.

But just then, a strange-looking unicorn came through the window. "Muffin Top" stood up and saw a silhouette of the unicorn waddle across the room.

Baby Twilight got scared, crying out! "What is ta-!"

"-Shhh!" Muffin Top laid herself back into the crib, watching the intruder trying to be sneaky, but her diapers crinkle were quite loud. The Twilight from the future whispered, "lay down and stay quiet."

"Muffin Top" proceeded to lift herself from the crib and then tackled the intruder, stumbling about as the intruder rose up.

Said intruder was a chubby, pink coated filly with a short curly mane and tail. The filly then shouted. "I knew some time cop might twy stopping me, so I came prepared!" She shot magic at past Twilight, and the little filly squeaked as she stumbled onto her padded rump. When she looked around, the little filly spotted blue wallpaper, and there were foam swords and blocks scattered across the nursery. The changing table now had a blue foam cover on it, and the walls were painted with little swords and shields.

"Muffin Top" turned to see a familiar white-coated colt tucked in the crib before her. Twilight's jaw dropped upon realizing she had gone further back in time!

Chapter three: Twilight meets her baby brother

Twilight who had crawled into her brother’s crib the night before, woke up with the sun rising outside the nursery window. She yawned and stretched her tiny limbs, then slowly turned to see her brother laying across from her, stuck under the sheets with a pacifier bobbing up and down in his mouth. He looked so cute, so chubby and plump, like a little white marshmallow with a tuft of blue for a mane and tail. She couldn’t help but admire the little colt.

Shining slowly turned to face the filly and, at first, was surprised. He took the pacifier out of his mouth and asked. “So um...who awe ya? I don’t mind shaving a cwib, but it’s weiwd having a foaw be hewe, especially a filly.”

Twilight gulped, being a bit nervous as she didn’t want to ruin the timeline she was currently in, and stammered. “Um, my name is Muffin Top, and...I...um got wost with a magic buwst.”

“Oh, weww, I Shiny Awmow, and I dun have cwazy magic buwsts. I make magic shiweds aww over ta pwace sometimes.” Shining Armor explained with a giggle.

Twilight was a bit surprised at how quickly Shining was adjusting to her as she giggled. “Weawwy, wittwe magic shields?”

“Yeah, tey wittwe blue magic shields tat get all over ta place. But I twying to contwow them.” Shining explained with a blush on his face.

Twilight turned around and babbled. “Tats cool, ta is wike a supew power!”

The colt was now getting excited as he took out his Brutus Force plush. “Really? Because tis is my hero. He Bwustus Fowces, and he a superhero. I wanna be just wike him!”

“Oh, tats so cool! Ya gonna gwow up just wike him, I know it.” Twilight added with a smile. She couldn’t help but think how cute her older brother was as a foal, something she’d only seen in baby pictures. But then the little grey coated filly suddenly squeaked upon seeing Twilight Velvet coming into the nursery with a surprised look on her face.

At first, Velvet blinked as she seemed still quite groggy, and then she rubbed her eyes and cried out. “Oh my! Night Light, come here now!”

It didn’t take long for the tired-looking stallion to come by next, yawning as he entered the nursery. He blinked, quite surprised to see the two foals, and gasped! “Oh, my goodness! Did we have twins?!”

The stallion’s wife rolled her eyes. “Of course not, this filly obviously isn’t ours, or I would’ve remembered giving birth to her.”

Twilight only stood there with a pout upon seeing her parents respond in such a way. She wished she could tell them that she actually was their filly but knew doing so would risk further damaging the timeline. And she didn’t have long to be angry as she was then picked up to have her soggy diaper changed. The little filly blushed as she kicked about in her sodden diaper.

Velvet couldn’t help but daww as she started changing the filly’s soggy pampers and getting her into fresh padding.

Shining was picked up next, and he looked a bit disappointed that he wasn’t changed first as the mare laughed. “Oh stop, Shining, she’s a filly, and fillies always go first. Besides, you’re starting to get a little big for diapers, and you know it. Another half a year, and you’ll be old enough for potty training.”

After Twilight’s diaper change, she was levitated down back in the crib while Velvet went about changing her son. Night Light decided to come over and got a closer look at the grey coated foal. “Um...she kind of looks familiar, hon. At least to me. Maybe it’s one of our neighbors’?”

Twilight Velvet nodded while strapping Shining in a new diaper and continued. “Most likely, the little one here probably just had a magic burst and popped right over here by accident. We both know how powerful shinings are, and that’s defense magic,” She then levitated both freshly padded foals onto her back as she continued. “Well, we can inform our neighbors and the guards nearby to help track down the little filly’s parents later. For now, though, let's get these two fed; I bet the little ones must be hungry.”

The mare bounced off as she headed to the kitchen with Twilight nuzzling into her mother’s mane. She and Shining were then placed into highchairs, and Twilight watched as her mom made some foal oatmeal and then started to feed the little colt Shining before she took out bottles and plopped them into their mouths.

Afterward, the two foals were placed into a playpen in the middle of the living room. As Twilight Velvet left to get ready for the day, Shining burped and asked the filly. “So...um Muffin Top? Wana see my bwock castle I made?”

The filly gave a nod as she turned to see a crooked tower made of wooden blocks while Shining raised his hooves and asked. “So, wha do you think? Is it coow?!”

“Wow! Yeah, it pwetty coow!” Twilight whispered with a sheepish grin, not wanting to hurt her brother’s feelings. She waddled over and gave it a look and asked. “So, how wong did it take ya to make tat?”

“Um...a few weeks ow so...anyways it not finished and Mama keeps fowgetting to get mowe bwocks fow me,” Shining mumbled under his breath. “I bet she keeps forgets on purpose.”

Twilight turned around as the filly felt that she would need her brother’s help if she were ever going to get back to her original timeline. “Um...I actuawwy need ya hewp with someting.”

“Oh yeah, wha’s tat?” Shining Armor asked as he started slowly placing blocks around the base of his tower. “Whenever somepony says tey my hewp, it’s awways so tey can twick me.”

Twilight gulped as she scrunched her padding between her legs and answered. “Well, I um...need hewp….I gotta get to Cewestia’s pawace and find...um...my mama, so I gonna need hewp.”

Shining suckled on his hoof for a second and replied. “Guess I can hewp...actuawwy, I have a fwiend tat wives tewe. I hew name is Candy, and we met a few times at ta pawk, she vewy sweet. I bet she can help find ya, mama.”

Before Twilight could respond, her mother came by, lifted the foals onto her back, and chirped. “Alright, you two, it’s time for daycare!” She then bounced off down the street.

The trot down the streets soon came upon the “Magic Daycare” As they entered, Twilight was surprised to see a younger Rebecca Pie. She was a bit thinner, and her mane was much more bouncy and curly. In fact, she looked around the same age Pinkie Pie would be in her timeline. The overexcited caretaker squealed as she bounced over. “Oh my goodness, look at these two! I didn’t know you had twins, Velvet!”

Twilight Velvet's cheeks flushed red as she quickly replied. “Night Light and I didn’t have twins. We just found this little filly in Shining’s crib this morning. We assume she accidentally teleported into his crib sometime last night.”

“Oh, dear, those stories are more common than you think. I’m sure you’ll find her parents; they’re probably looking for their little filly. I can keep her here until they come free of charge, The mare offered. “That way, you can look for the parents, and if you find them, they’ll know their little one is in a safe place.”

“Thank you so much, Rebecca Pie; please keep a good eye on her. And make sure she and my little Shining don’t get into any trouble.” Twilight Velvet replied as she lifted the two foals into the play area.

Twilight looked around the room, seeing it wasn’t much different from an earlier point in her past. In fact, she was surprised to see a good amount of colts here, a lot of whom she was certain would become royal guards in her timeline. The filly then turned to Shining, waddling over. “So, tey said tey gonna find ya, mama. Ya sure, tat going to ta pawace is a good idea? We could get in a wot of trouble if we go thewe.”

“Tey not gonna find my mommy hewe…” Twilight sighed as she suckled on her hoof. “I actuawwy come fwom a few years in ta future so I not been bown yet.”

“Oh!” Shining exclaimed in apparent realization! “Tats why ya gotta go to ta palace, to find a magic speww to get ya back to ta future. Otay tat sounds coow it wike a supew hewo stowie!”

“Yeah, so...ya got a pwan?” Twilight asked, loving how her brother was getting excited about this mission.

Shining tapped a hoof to his chin. “Weww ta caretaker keeps an eye on everytin. But whiwe we nap, she wuvs taking some of the foals into hew wap to dwink babas. While she doin' tat we make owa escape, is the pewfect pwan!”

“Otay ten, tat sounds wike a good idea,” Twilight replied cheerfully; the two waddled off as Shining showed her another tower of blocks.

“Okay. In ta meantime, come on and help me buiwd tis tower!” Shining declared. “I have been buiwdin tis one since last week! Wucky, none of the othew foaws have knocked it down yet like tey usually do.”

Twilight’s cheeks reddened seeing how her brother even had peed his diaper again, and he didn’t even seem to notice or care. But she still crawled over to join in helping her now “baby” brother in building a tower of blocks.

Just as her brother predicted, Rebecca Pie had two little foals in her hooves later, and they looked quite snug, suckling the formula down their throats.

Seeing the caretaker appear to be distracted, Twilight took the opportunity to levitate herself out of her crib, as did Shining, and they quickly escaped through an open window into the streets of Canterlot. They crawled through the streets, sneaking along the alleyways to avoid being seen by grown-ups.

The two foals eventually made it to the outside walls of the palace, and Shining shoved a hoof outward and stopped both him and the filly in their tracks. He waddled to the fence and spotted a pink coated alicorn princess wearing a pull-up (with Celestia’s cutie mark printed on the padding) sniffing the flowers and whispered. “Hey, um Pwincess Candy? We need ya hewp.”

“How many times I gots to tew you, Shiny?! I Cady, not Candy!” Candance snapped as she waddled over with a cute pout on her face looking a bit jealous. “Hewwo Shiny, wooks wike ya got a new fiwwy fwiend!”

“Nah uh! I, not his fiwwy fwiend!” Twilight cried out as Shining face was now a beat red.

“Ye...yeah...she um just a wost fiwwy who needs owa help.” Shining explained.

Cadence eyed the filly and asked. “Oh yeah, so what ya need help coming hewe fow?”

Twilight came forward and replied. “We need a speww fow me to go into future because I fwom ta future.”

“Weawwy? Tats coow! In ta future, am I fuwwy potty twained?” Cadence chirped out loud with an excited look on her face.

Twilight sighed as she rubbed a hoof over her face. “I can’t tell ya tat, can ya just take us to ta Cantewot Archives, pweawe?”

“Oh, is tat where Auntie Tia keeps ta time spewws?” The alicorn filly asked, now being quite curious.

Twilight nodded and continued to explain. “Yeah, I know whew’s to go, but we got to avoid guawds, and big ponies cause tey gonna stop us.”

“Wight! Besides, I supposed to be taking a nap, but I snuck out to pway in ta flowers.” Cadence replied.

Shining snickered. “Ya always do tat! Surprised tat ta Pwincess Tia hasn’t tied ya down in ay cwib while ya supposed to be sweeping.”

Cadence just scoffed. “Oh yeah, and awen’t ya supposed to be taking a nap too! Ya get more cwanky ten me, soggy butt!”

“Nuh-uh! I dun get cwanky!” Shining shouted back. “And I not tat soggy!”

“Yeah, huh! Ya soggy and cwanky wight now!” Cadence jeered. “No wonder ya not in puww-ups wike I am!”

Twilight sighed as the bickering continued for some time, soon becoming concerned that their shouting would get them caught and snapped. “Sweiouwsy, ya two, stop! We need to get going ow big ponies awe gonna catch us.”

“Wight, sowie.” Both foals replied as they crawled through a hole in the fence nearby.

Cadence held a hoof. “I know some secrets about ta palace, so ya two follow me.” The three then snuck through the palace, avoiding guards as they soon came upon the Canterlot Archives guarded by two pegasus guards.

The little alicorn turned to her friends and whispered. “I’ll distract tem while ya two get in, otay? But ya better be quick ow tey gonna catch ya two.”

The two other foals nodded as Cadence ran past the guards, who both groaned. “Not again.” They then chased after her, shouting her name and mentioning that she was supposed to be in her crib for a nap.

Twilight and Shining snickered as they snuck into the library, where they saw rows and rows of bookshelves.

Shining’s cheeks flushed pink as he whispered, “Sowie, but I can’t help ya hewe I dun know how to wead stuff wike tis. It got way too many big wowds.”

“Um, I dun know how to wead either; hopefully tey got picutwes.” Twilight squeaked, feeling a bit silly for not thinking this plan through. But she didn’t waste any time as she began pulling out books one by one, flipping through them for pictures in the hopes of finding anything to do with time spells while Shining found some ink pots and was smearing his hooves over some scrolls with the black goo.

Both were so intensely invested in what they were doing that they didn’t notice Celestia slowly coming in. “Oh my, what are you foals doing here? Don’t you know this place is strictly off-limits?”

The foals squeaked as they turned to face the princess, Shining holding up a scroll full of hoofprints smeared on with ink while Twilight tossed the book she had in her hooves and babbled. “I was umm...twying to go to the future ‘cause tat’s where I from. Ya gotta bewieve me!” The little unicorn then sighed at the fact that the princess of the sun probably couldn’t understand a word she was saying.

Yet to the surprise of both, she responded. “Wow..really? The future, you say? I would assume this all just was a game, but you don’t seem like any ordinary foal.”

Twilight was quite stunned as not only did Celestia understand her, she spoke back and squeaked. “Wait, ya speak, baby babble?”

“Well...yeah...after living for a thousand years, you can pick up on all kinds of things.” Celestia giggled as her cheeks flushed red. The princess then turned to Shining Armor, lifting him with her magic and cooing. “And I'm assuming you’re here to protect her?”

“Yep! I gonna be a guard one day and pwotect ya too!” The colt exclaimed, making the princess daww. “Oh, I bet you will, little cutie,” She then snuggled the little colt and then took out a book from the shelves. “There might be a spell that can help...ah, here it is! This spell can detect anomalies in the timeline and correct them.”

“Weawwy! Can tat get me back to my timeline?!” Twilight cried out, getting excited as she bounced on her padded rump.

Celestia nodded, “Yes, everything that you’ve done in this timeline will disappear as if it never happened so that everything will be back to normal.”

Twilight cheered, but Shining started to tear up. “B...but tat means I gonna fowget Muffin Top, she my fwiend.”

The little grey coated filly smiled at her brother and whispered. “Dun wowwie we um...gonna be very best friends in ta futuwe so dun cry, otay?”

The little colt nodded and wiped the tears from his face with an ink-covered hoof.

Celestia started to tear up a little too and cooed. “Oh, this is too adorable, but we should do this soon.”

“Right, I weady to go,” Twilight replied and closed her eyes as Celestia’s horn lit up, and the little filly was soon engulfed in white light.

Twilight woke up, hoping she would be an adult again, however when she turned to see tall wooden bars around her and felt something taped around her rump (that was slightly soggy), she groaned, realizing she was still a foal.

The little filly slowly turned to see her reflection in a mirror next to her, and her eyes went wide as she saw she now had a white coat, long wings and a longhorn with bright purple eyes, and a light pink mane and purple striped mane. The filly slowly got up on her chubby hindlegs and looked down to see her diaper had little sun prints on the padding. “Oh, no!”

She then turned her gaze over to see that her crib was right next to Celestia’s bed, where the alicorn princess was sleeping soundly. Twilight could only plop on her padded rump and cry out, “How did tis happen?!”

Chapter Four: Sunspot and Sunlight

Twilight was quite confused with her predicament, how could she be here looking like a baby alicorn? Was Celestia her mom now? And if that's the case, was this the same timeline that had been messed up, or had she jumped into another universe entirely?

The little filly ly there in her crib, watching Celestia still in a deep sleep. She tried to talk to her, but found that only baby babble came out, and her tiny voice wasn't loud enough to wake up the princess. She grumbled irritably, kicking about in her soggy diaper while getting quite angry. "Ugh! How did I end up wike tis?! Tis wasn’t supposed ta happen!"

The little filly laid back into her crib and sighed, looking up at the spinning mobile with plastic suns. She grumbled, looking over her pudgy body while she babbled to herself. "How's it even possibwe tat I got sent to a diffewent timewine? Cewestia's speww must've messed up somehow. Or somepony ewse messed it fow hew."

The filly then heard a faint whimper and turned to see another filly next to her; it was a little white-coated filly as well, but she had a striped pink and orange mane. Twilight was surprised, nudged the little foal next to her and whispered. "Hey, who awe you?"

The little filly slowly woke up, looking surprised as she exclaimed. "What is goin' on hewe?! Where am I?!" Twilight eyed the foal who seemed quite familiar. All the while, the little filly looked down at her soggy diaper, poking the padding and making it squelch between her legs as she whined. "Nah! Why am I stiww a foaw?!" She then turned to face Twilight and snapped. "Who awe ya?!"

Twilight gulped as she realized that her enemy hadn't recognized her. She pondered on what to say, seeing that she had to tell this filly a name that wouldn't ruin the timeline. For some reason, the name Sunspot came to mind, and she babbled back. "I...um...my name is Sunspot…"

Starlight held out a chubby hoof and babbled. "My name is Sunlight…" Then she blinked, looking quite confused for a second before she babbled, "Sunlight...nah, my name, not Sunlight...why I keep saying Sunlight…"

Twilight eyed the filly; then it suddenly dawned on her that this other filly was actually Starlight Glimmer. She pondered if she should tell foe that she was Twilight, or at least also an adult who’d gotten turned into a foal. The filly decided maybe it was best to pretend to be an actual baby for now and babbled. "So...um...Sunlight...uh...who awe ya?"

Starlight turned to face the filly and pointed at herself. "I was a big pony who went back in time to twy and hewp a fiwwy. I went to a filly's nursery twying to...um...save hew with some medicine."

Twilight rolled her eyes at the lie but let Starlight continue. "Bu befowe I couwd give hew ta potion, a magical light exploded. Guess some speww hit me and now I'm hewe. I guess I'm in a altewnate timewine or someting."

The young alicorn stuck her hoof in her mouth as she thought things over. Celestia's spell to "repair the timeline" must have sent her and Starlight here somehow. She would bet that the two Dr. Whooves were also here along with the other Derpy.

Starlight had calmed down as she plopped on her soggy padding and asked, "So Sunspot...guess ya actuawy Pwincess Tia's foaw ten?"

Twilight snickered, seeing that Starlight still hasn't recognized her, and continued. "Yep, I actuawwy Pwincess Tia's baby...but...um...my mommy is stiww sweeping as ya see. So we gots to wait until she wakes up, then she can change ya diapee."

"Ugh, ya a baby ow not?! Just cwy and wake hew up. Ya need a diapee change too." Starlight Glimmer whined out loud.

Twilight squeaked as she realized that her diaper was also quite soaked. "Ya wight...um...b.." Then the filly gulped as she began to whimper and tear up. For some reason she felt like crying, and it wasn't long until she was balling her eyes out.

Twilight’s crying eventually did wake up Princess Celestia. She gave her foals a tired smile and walked over. "Oh, my darlings are awake and need diaper changes I see. Sorry, I must’ve slept in again." She picked the two fillies up in her magical embrace, then placed them down on the changing table nearby. She made quick work of wiping them down with fresh foal wipes and giving their rumps a thorough fresh powdering.

Celestia then went about strapping them both in new diapers. And as the princess did so, Starlight started to babble. "Tia wisten, I not ya fiwwy! I fwom ta futuwe! Ya gotta send me back!"

"Aww, is my little Sunlight playing a game?" Celestia giggled as she tickled the foal's belly with her wing making the foal kick and giggle, her diapers crinkle and powder poof from the leg holes.

"But I weawwy fwom ta futuwe! I am! I am!" The filly whined and kicked her chubby hooves about.

The princess, however, ignored her foal's tantrum. The princess of the sun then placed the two fillies into a playpen. "Now you two play and have fun while Mommy goes and raises the sun, okay? This won’t take long." Celestia then walked off as the two fillies sat in the playpen.

Twilight sighed as she stacked blocks, pondering the situation and wondering what she should do. The filly turned her head, watching Starlight getting quite fussy and pouty as she kept trying to light her horn to perform her time spell. She knew that this filly would make sure she stayed a foal forever, but Starlight was quite adorable for the other alicorn filly; it was almost impossible to see her as a villain.

Twilight waddled over as she was now intrigued and babbled. "So um, what ya doin?"

Starlight hmphed, plopped down on her padded rump and grumbled. "I twying to get back to my own timewine."

Twilight smirked, deciding to mess with her enemy a little to teach her a lesson, and babbled. "But it wooks like my mama tinks ya my sissy."

"Tats siwwy! I wowud know if she my mommy!" The little filly shouted, seeming to get more frustrated with her situation. “I had a mommy in my own timewine, and she wasn’t the pwincess!”

Twilight shrugged and continued. "Who knows what happened? Maybe ya showed get used to being in diapees now."

"Ugh, no way, diapees aw the wost! I'm gonna get back to ta futuwe! But my spew isn't wowking!" Starlight shouted as she tried lighting her horn, but only sparks sputtered out.

Twilight continued to snicker. "But ya a baby now, ya can't do compwicated spewws."

"Nah uh! I actuawwy a big pony tat was tuwned into a baby." Starlight snapped with a cute pout on her face.

Twilight couldn't help but roll around, kicking her hooves laughing as Starlight started to get angry and shouted. "Sewiouswy, stop tat! Ya just making me mowe angwy!"

The other alicorn filly got up and babbled."Wook, ya a foaw in ya diapees wight now so...how ya gonna get back to ta futuwe, huh?"

Starlight tapped a hoof to her chin. "Maybe...if I twain my magic. I know ta spew, but I can't do it until I twain whiwe in tis baby fowm."

Twilight sighed in relief at the knowledge Starlight had a way for them to get back to their original timeline. And when Starlight performed the spell, she would stay next to the filly so she could get back as well. With any luck she’d be able to stop Starlight from changing the timeline again.

Twilight then continued to explain. "Wook, we baby awicowns, so we gots woad of stowed up magic. Ya can pewfowm bout any spew if ya weawwy want to. But tat awso means ya gots to be cawefuw ow ya might do sometin cwazy."

"Ya obviouswy an actuawwy baby awicown so...umm...can ya be my teachew?" Starlight asked with a growing blush on her face.

Twilight honestly didn't feel like she could trust this filly, but considering the circumstances they were in, she felt as if she didn't have a choice. There didn’t seem to be any other way of getting the timeline back to normal. "Fine, I'ww teach ya how to use magic as a foaw, but ya gots to do evewyting I say."

"Fine, but dun make me do anything embewassin, pwease." Starlight grumbled, and Twilight then began to teach her "sister" how to use magic by lifting toys and blocks around them.

After an hour of Twilight assisting Starlight in using her magic by flapping her wings and lifting blocks and other toys in the playpen, Celestia came back with a smile on her face as she lifted the two foals with her magic and nuzzled them. "Oh, you two are trying to do some magic? That's so adorable. My little fillies are already trying to be like Mommy. But we should hold off, you’re not even potty trained yet."

Starlight kicked and whined in her pampers again, only making herself look more adorable. While Twilight, on the other hoof now had her face turning a deep red as she loved this attention from her mentor.

However, the fillies began to kick and squeal as their "mother" tickled them with a wing then placed the two onto her back.

Luna then came over with a smile on her face and dawwed. "Morning, sister, how are you and the little ones?"

"Oh, we're fine this lovely morning, Luna. But it seems like Sunlight is a little bit cranky." Celestia chirped as she let Luna lift her daughter in her magic, making Starlight kick and babble.

Luna then set and nuzzled the foals as well before commenting. "Oh, Sunlight looks cute even when she's a little cranky butt. She really takes after you, doesn’t she?"

"Yes she does, I suspect she’ll be ready for magic kindergarten even before she’s out of diapers,” Celestia cooed and then asked. “I’ve got to get these two fed. Want to help me make their breakfast?"

Luna smiled with delight. "Of course I would, sister. You know how much I love little ones."

The two trotted off together to the kitchen where Celestia took the foals off her back and strapped them into highchairs.

Twilight blushed as she was now starting to get used to this routine with a bib tied around her neck.

Starlight, however, was more angry, kicking and whining as a bib was strapped around her neck as well.

Twilight sighed and whispered. "Hey Sunlight, stop fighting or ya gonna make tings wowse, and ya powbabwy gonna get put in timeout too."

"Ugh, fine."' Starlight grumbled as Celestia then went about and started to spoon-fed the two some oatmeal.

"Open wide!" The princess of the sun cooed as she slid the rubber spoon in her foals’ mouths.

Twilight happily munched away, having gotten used to this now while Starlight was getting used to her chubby mouth with the foal food getting all over her mouth and tray.

Then Luna took two bottles of milk. "Enjoy. I made sure I eat quite healthy, unlike your mother."

Celestia rolled her eyes and gave a sarcastic "Haha. good one, Luna" at the comment.

The princess of the night did not reply as she placed the bottles into the foals’ mouths. Twilight squeaked as the rush of the creamy milk went down her throat and even Starlight was quite calm, chugging down hers.

After their mouths were wiped, Celestia turned to one of her maids. "Ah, Manny Timetable, I'm so happy to see you. And just in time too, the foals have just had their breakfast."

Twilight turned and gasped, seeing a female Dr. Whooves in a maid uniform give a curtsey. "Of course, I know their schedule better than anypony else in this castle." She then picked the two up and placed them on her back.

Twilight wanted desperately to communicate with the mare, but she couldn't risk blowing her cover to Starlight, so she waited as they were taken to a playroom. The two alicorn fillies were amazed at how big the room was, full of toys and plushies scattered all about.

The maid plopped the fillies on the ground and cooed, "Alright, you two have some fun. I'm going to tidy up this place a bit." The mare then went about picking up toys and placing them in a giant toy chest in the back of the room.

"Tats it, I gotta pewfowm ta spew and get out of hewe! I sick of being babied!" Starlight shouted as she squinted her eyes and lit her horn, but nothing happened aside from her messing her diaper! She squeaked as the maid then lifted her and changed her diaper like it was no big deal.

Furious and humiliated, the angry baby alicorn kicked and whined as she was placed back down next to Twilight, and snapped. "Sewiouswy?! My magic doesn’t wowk! What awe we gonna do! I can't stay hewe fowevew! I dun wanna be a baby again!"

Twilight gulped as she sweated, getting a bit nervous. But it slowly dawned on her on why Starlight's spell failed. "Um...if ta spew is meant fow ya to go fowawd in time...and ya in a diffewent timewine, tat means it pwoabwy not gonna wowk. We need a speww tat can get us back in owa timewine whewe Tia doesn't have foals."

Starlight groaned, rubbing a hoof over her face, and whined. "How do we find a spew wike tat?"

Twilight shook her head. She knew her best option was trying to talk to "Mrs.Timetable" alone to see how she got here as well. "I dun know, I tinking of a pwan but it couwd take sometime. But fow now, ya best get used to being in diapees.

Starlight placed her hooves on her face and cried out. "Nooo!"

“Weww, ya not weady fow potty twaining!” Twilight teased.

“Ya-huh, I can pwove it!” Starlight boasted! “That accident was because I messed up my speww. I can totawwy use ta potty,” Then she blushed. “But… I might need ya hewp getting thewe since ya know where ta potty wooms awe in the castwe.”

“Weww, we’d need a distwaction fwist,” Twilight pointed out. “And uh… I onwy know Mommy has one in hew bedroom. Thewe too many hawways in the castwe.”

“Weww, ya weave the distwaction to me, I know how to use magic now!” Starlight boasted again. “Just give me time to tink of someting.”

chapter Five: Timeline Trouble and Foal Flush

"Sunspot," and "Sunlight" endured a few more hours of babying by "Timetable" in the royal nursery. The two fillies continued to play together, making block towers and dressing up dolls. They were also regularly cared for by the royal nanny. The two foals played together for some time until they tuckered each other out, at which point Timetable tucked them into two separate cribs for a nap.

While Starlight was asleep in her crib, Twilight slowly got up, waddled over towards the nanny and asked. "So um... ya weally Time Fwies, wight?"

The mare gave a sigh of relief as she hugged the little filly. "Oh thank Celestia you know who you really are. I was worried the damage to the timeline was beyond repair."

Twilight also gave a sigh seeing that she was right, the nanny could understand her foal babble. She then asked. "So...do ya know wha's goin' on hewe? Why we Tia's foaws."

Timetable gave a sigh as she took Twilight to a rocking chair nearby and plopped the filly into her lap. "Alright, I'll do my best to explain the situation. When Starlight sent you further back in time, she and you both started messing with your timeline. This caused so many problems in your current timeline when you'll turn back to normal. When Celestia used the time correction spell, it sent you and Starlight into a new timeline where she became your mother due to her being in the vicinity of you. I calculated where you and Starlight were sent to, and I used my time machine to find you two here."

Twilight squealed as she clapped her hooves together and kicked about in her padding. "So that means we can get to owa timeline and we gonna be otay!”

The mare gave a nod as she nuzzled Twilight again. "That's right, we have my time device and we can leave at any time. In the meantime, just call me by my disguised name.”

Twilight clapped her hooves together as she babbled happily. "Wight...tough we gots one itsy bitsy problem...we need to twick Stawwight to come with us without hew knowing wha's goin' on."

"Right...she has to come with us so we can fix the timeline, but if she knew we had a time machine she could use it to give you the poison," Timetable whispered and then got an idea. "She still thinks you're a foal though, right?"

"Yeah...and I pwomise to hewp hew. So ya should take us on a stroll in a stroller latew today ow sometin, ten take us to the machine and get us out of hewe." The white-coated filly suggested.

"Right, we can maybe do that if we’re clever about it. But for now there's another matter I must attend to." The royal nanny tapped the sodden diaper that Twilight was wearing, making the filly's cheeks flush red. She still wasn’t used to the feeling.

Timetable simply drifted the filly to a changing table nearby, and there she began unstrapping her rump. The nanny then wiped Twilight's rump down as the little filly kicked and giggled, "I can't bewieve I’ve had so many diapee changes on tis cwazy time twavew jouwney."

"Oh, you have no idea, little one. I've been changing your stinky butt for the past few months," Timetable snickered as she taped up her charge in a fresh pair of padding. "Well, at least I’ve got a ton of experience for my own foal."

"Oh, ya pwegnant?!" Twilight gasped as Timetable put a hoof to her lip, drifted the foal back to her crib, and tucked her in.

"Yes,” Timetable confirmed. “Now just be a little foal for a little bit longer, ok? We'll have you and Starlight back to being big ponies in no time."

The little alicorn filly gave a nod as she snuggled under the covers with a pacifier in her mouth. She suckled and got comfortable, kicking about in her diaper. She then turned to Timetable and asked. “Wha about tis timewine? Won't tis Pwincess Tia be sad tat we gone?"

Timetable shook her head and explained. "Once you're back in your original timeline, this will disappear as if this timeline never existed. Only the three of us will have any memories of it."

Twilight still was unsure of this and babbled. "Um...otay, guess tat makes sense…"

"Just get some sleep, you get really cranky when you go without your naps." The mare cooed as she kissed her charge on the forehead.

The little filly nuzzled deep under her blankets. She continued to suckle on her pacifier as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

The little filly woke up again later to another diaper change. This time she looked up to see that it was Celestia who was standing over her, smiling. "How was your nap, Sunspot? Sleep well?"

Twilight raised her hooves, babbling happily at her "mother" and feeling overwhelming joy come over her.

Celestia laughed, picking up the little filly in her magic and nuzzling her. "Oh, you're just adorable! Too bad your sister has been a fussy butt all day." The mare turned to see Starlight looking rather pouty nearby with her hooves crossed over her chest.

Twilight just shook her head in disappointment but didn't think much more about it as Celestia scooped up her foals. The alicorn princess then had Starlight and Twilight both placed down on her lap where she plopped two bottles of her breast milk into their mouths.

They suckled for some time, and then they were taken back to the kitchen where they had bibs strapped over their necks, forced to have mashed yams shoved into their faces again.

After the foals had finished their meal, Luna came down the halls and approached them. She nuzzled them and cooed. "You two are so adorable, and I love waking up to see your sweet faces. My sister is so lucky."

Starlight was trying her best not to get angry, pouting and trying to endure through this while Twilight rather enjoyed the attention placing her messy hooves on Luna's muzzle and cooing at her.

Twilight felt ready to finally go back to her original timeline as an adult. But the realization that this Celestia had given birth to her and cared for her for a reasonable amount of time now made her kind of sad. A part of her wouldn't have minded staying in this new reality. She even turned to Luna, who was technically her aunt in this timeline, looking so happy and couldn't help but feel as if she had a genuine connection with her as well. She was almost like another mother, as well. If only she didn’t have to leave.

Timetable broke Twilight's train of thought as the nanny turned towards Celestia, performed a curtsey and asked. "Um, Princess Celestia, can I please take the foals out to see the town?"

"Oh, that sounds wonderful. Just make sure they're back before Luna raises the moon," Celestia replied. “Don’t need them staying up past their bedtime.”

"Don't worry, I will bring them back as soon as possible, you have my word." Timetable responded as she took the foals, placed them into a stroller, and strapped them in tightly.

Twilight looked across towards the princesses and had tears run down her cheeks as this overwhelming sadness flooded over her, knowing she wouldn’t see this Celestia and Luna ever again. She raised her hooves out, whimpering and kicking in her padding as Starlight looked over. "Wha ya crying fow? Need a diapee change ow something?"

"No...just...um...tiwed is aww." Twilight mumbled as she couldn't tell Starlight why she was really sad, knowing that this timeline was about to disappear as Timetable pushed them out the door.

“Ya weid.” Starlight mumbled, rolling her eyes.

Timetable pushed the two foals through the streets of Canterlot, everypony dawwing and bowing before them. Twilight felt somewhat unsure of all of this attention, hiding her face from everypony while Starlight was shouting at ponies walking by and looking rather fussy, kicking and screaming. "Stop tweating me wike a baby!"

Twilight started to feel somewhat embarrassed, but Timetable seems to be used to this behavior from the filly to say she was just tired and being a cranky butt.

This only made Starlight act out even more. Still, eventually, she tired herself out and plopped down in the stroller, suckling on a pacifier as Timetable continued to push the stroller through the streets. She made sure to tell ponies not to bow while talking about how her day was.

All the while, Twilight was content to just get small pats on her head, being told she was adorable. The regressed mare was starting to realize how relaxing it was to be a foal, not having to worry about saving the world or studying all the time. It was a rather lovely vacation from being an adult, and she wasn't entirely sure she was ready to end it yet.

As they continued to be pushed around the city, Starlight began to get suspicious upon seeing the sun setting and babbled. "Wat's going on hewe? Why we go out tis wate?"

Twilight gulped and flapped her wings feeling somewhat nervous as she needed to find a way to keep Starlight from figuring out what was really going on. "I not suwe, but we gots to listen to ta nanny."

"Yeah, I get tat. But I hate tis, and can't wait to be a big pony again and not wisten to hew." Starlight grumbled under her breath.

After strolling around the streets of Canterlot for a bit longer, they eventually came upon what appeared to be a bakery. They found a wall-eyed pegasus stallion serving muffins and he waved a hoof. "Honey, you’re back early, and with the little princesses in tow too."

The stallion bent down and nuzzled them as Timetable gave him a wink and replied. "Yes, honey, and I do believe it's time to pick up the other foals."

Derp blinked, looking a bit confused before Timetable gave him a wink. The pegasus gasped and gave a nod before running off inside the building. Now Starlight was really suspicious as she scratched her head. "Wha’s going on hewe? Why we at a stwangews pwace?"

"Um...I don't know. I think the nanny is...um...just wetting us in to have a pway date with hew foaw." Twilight squeaked out loud as she started to sweat more.

They came over to the back and saw a brown coated little colt in a playpen, who gasped upon seeing the fillies. "Hey, it's ta baby pwincesses!"

Timetable looked down at her partner with a playful smirk on her face. "Well, it looks like my little Choco Butter is rather excited to meet some new playmates."

They were then placed with the colt, and Starlight was eyeing the brown coated foal. "Who awe ya?"

"I...umm...my name is Choco Butter…" The colt stammered as he scrunched his padding.

Twilight waddled over and poked his padding. "Hewwo, Choco Butter, I Sunspot and tis my sissy Sunlight."

"Ugh! Not ya sissy! I got twapped in tis timeline and want to be a big pony again!" The little baby alicorn whined and kicked. “And ya stiww haven’t kept ya pwomise to hewp me get to ta potty!”

“Weww, ya nevew weminded me!” Twilight pointed out. “Bu I can hewp ya if ya stiww want to use it.”

Starlight nodded. “Uh-huh, I do. But onwy ya, not tis new foaw. I dun twust him.”

"Choco Butter" looked a bit confused as he scratched his mane. Twilight then winked at him, and the colt gasped upon realizing who they really were. "Oh? Weww, that’s fine, I wun teww. But...um...why dun we just pway...it awmost time fow bedtime but we gots anothew houw ow so.." And the trio of foals played together for a bit as they assisted each other in building a block tower.

Starlight was quite fixated until suddenly she started to feel something funny in her tummy and stood up. “Ya gotta hewp me now,” She pointed to Twilight. “I tink I gots to go potty.”

“Be cawefuw ya two.” Dr. Whooves warned as he watched the two little alicorns clumsily and hastily waddle away.

The foals found the mare’s bathroom door slightly ajar and waddled inside, eventually coming to a stall. Unable to push the stall door open they instead crawled underneath it, gazing up at the gleaming white porcelain throne that stood before them in all its majesty.

“Otay, ya gotta take ya diapee off and then ya sit on the seat.” Twilight instructed.

Starlight grumbled and groaned, tugging on her diaper’s tapes that held fast. “Ugh, I can’t do it! Stupid diapee!”

Twilight found that her own hooves couldn’t do the job either, they kept slipping off. So she struggled and grunted, lighting up her horn. She tried to be careful not to push too hard and have an accident. At last, she heard a faint rustling sound and opened her eyes to see Starlight’s diaper sliding off. “Weww, ya gonna go ow not?” She frowned.

“Just give me a minute, I not weawwy used to these wings.” Starlight protested, flapping her wings in a clumsy fashion to demonstrate. Slowly and unevenly, she rose up towards the seat.

Twilight flew up to keep an eye on Starlight, making sure the foal didn’t try anything. But because she was so focused on watching her fellow regressed mare she didn’t pay attention to her surroundings. Suddenly, she felt herself brushing up against something cold and metal, and she thought she heard a click.

Suddenly, the toilet started to roar quite audibly! Starlight looked down and was stricken with fright, the waters were spinning about in a dizzying, rapid fashion! And to make matters worse, the noise had caused her to lose her focus! She fell into the bowl with a splash, soon swept up by the raging waters!

Twilight tried to fly down to grab hold of her fellow foal and pull her free, but she wasn’t strong enough to do so even when she briefly managed to grab hold of Starlight’s hoof.

“Oh no, is happening!” Starlight cried as she felt a powerful force take hold of her tail! “Save yasewf!” And then her cry was cut off as the water retreated, pulling her down the drain in the blink of an eye!

A panic stricken Twilight landed on the seat just as the flush cycle ended. But Starlight was gone!

At that moment, who should come barging in but Timetable?! “Twilight, what are you doing here? And where’s Starlight?” She asked with concern.

Twilight whimpered. “I pwomised to hewp hew use ta potty, but I accidentawwy cause hew to get fwushed down it. I twy to save hew but I wasn’t stwong enough,” Then she declared. “I gonna go aftew hew!” She fluttered to the handle, preparing to press it down again and flush herself into the sewers!

Timetable objected. “No, Twilight, I’ll handle this. Just stand back!” She lowered a hoof down towards the drain and blinked her eyes. Twilight thought she saw some magic emerge from the hoof.

And as if by magic the toilet startled to rumble and shake. A distraught and very soggy Starlight shot up from the bowl like a cork, shaking all over! “Wha was tat?!”

“Oh, nothing, really,” Timetable winked. “I think you got stuck, and the pressure difference in the pipes built up behind you, shooting you back up the drain. But you really should’ve come and gotten me if you wanted to use the potty,” Then she instructed. "Ok, I think it's about time for ‘bedtime’. I’ll clean you up, Sunlight. And then I’m taking you and your sister back with my little Choco Butter."

Starlight was rather angry throughout the whole cleaning process, still crying and kicking about in her new diaper afterward. "Ugh, seriously?! Mama Tia said we shouwd be back by now! What is going on hewe?! Who is tis mawe weawwy?"

"Just wet nanny Timetabwe take us to where we need to be otay? Just twust hew, she saved ya." Twilight whispered, trying to reassure her "sister."

The fillies were then taken off by the nanny and entered a blue colored booth where Timetable’s husband was already inside.

Upon seeing the stallion, Starlight gasped, seeing a dashboard full of dials and blinking lights. "Wait a minute, I know what tis is! Tis is a time machine! Ya was all twicking me! And ya pwobabwy got me fwushed on pwupose!"

“Nuh, tat was a accident. I twying to get ya back to being a big pony so ya dun mess up the timewine again.” Twilight protested, but Starlight refused to listen

"Wait!" Timetable cried out as Starlight tried to take hold of the machine's dials and started pressing random buttons.

Before anypony could do anything, the machine twirled about, and a big flash of light exploded forth as the reality dissipated before the ponies eyes! All were sent hurling through a portal!

Chapter Six: A New Foal Pandemic

Twilight groaned as she rose up on all fours. The mare had a pounding headache and rubbed her head as she tried to gauge where she was. Fortunately, she no longer seemed to be a foal, but there was no sign of Starlight Glimmer anywhere.

Twilight was thus now looking around at what had to be a giant-sized office with many cubicles lining the horizon. She first got up to have a look over herself with various versions of Dr. Whooves' sitting down and working diligently, pounding away at keys on typewriters. None seemed to have noticed her yet.

Twilight tried to get their attention, waving a hoof. "Hey! Can somepony help me?! Where the heck am I?!" But none of the Dr. Whooves' seemed to notice her as they continued on with their work.

Twilight shrugged as she walked down the aisles, finding it rather liberating to move on her own power. It didn’t seem like the various Dr. Whooves’ were intentionally ignoring her. They were transfixed on their work so much it was like they were in a trance of some sort.

Being alone and having not much else to do, Twilight looked behind her to make sure that a diaper wasn't around her rump for some reason. And she was, in fact, an adult again. The mare gave a sigh of relief before she slowly walked down the hall, gulping as she turned to see Time Flies running towards her and giving her a hug.

The two mares embraced, and when they broke it off Twilight gave a long sigh of relief. "Oh, thank goodness you're ok."

"Yeah, I'm glad to see you doing good too!" Time Flies cheerfully exclaimed. “And look at you, all grown up again. I know they say foals grow up fast, but I don’t think they meant this fast.” She joked.

Twilight briefly laughed, before she looked around with a confused look on her face and asked. "So where are we? Is this the bureau you mentioned?"

Time Flies gave a nod as she explained. "Yeah, it is. I was planning to bring you here once the whole Starlight matter was settled, but luckily my various other selves from across the different timelines helped get us here when Starlight Glimmer sent us into the infinite void."

"What about your husband?!" Twilight asked, being somewhat worried, hoping he and her own Dr. Whooves had made out as well.

Time Flies threw up a hoof as she explained. "Oh he's fine. I sent him home when we arrived here while you were still unconscious. I think he had enough of all this time travel business."

"And my Dr. Whooves?" Twilight questioned.

"He's undercover right now still in his foal form,” Time Flies explained and giggled. “We gave his wife a notice and told her he'll be back soon."

Twilight gave another sigh of relief. But then she began to feel rather angry as she looked around with a glare. "So, where’s Starlight Glimmer?! Did she get caught?!"

The pegasus looked down and replied in an affronted tone. "Sadly no...in fact, it's better to explain what's going on. Follow me." She waved a hoof, and the unicorn followed her down the giant office.

The scenery didn't change much as the two mares continued down the hall. But they seemed to have moved quite a lot because they were now in front of two glass doors. Inside there was a giant desk and a few filing cabinets surrounding it. But what was more interesting was the name tag that was placed on top of it that read: Twilight Sparkle

"I had to make a lot of moves while we waited for you to be transported here, such as promoting you to an official agent of the time bureau." Time Flies explained.

"What?! B..But why?!" Twilight asked, looking somewhat surprised at the decision. “I don’t see why I have to join the bureau now.”

Time Flies gave her fellow mare a smile. "I wouldn't have done this if it weren't absolutely necessary. But it turns out that when Starlight Glimmer inputted all those random buttons, she threw herself into the timestream. Before we could find her though, she was already back in the original timeline."

"Oh no…" Twilight whispered…" So that means she turned all my friends and I into foals?" And she groaned. “Just when I thought we were all done with this age regression stuff too.”

The pegasus shook her head and explained. "Not exactly. Starlight only had access to a time before we came to get you when this whole thing started, thankfully."

"Right...so the future…" Twilight realized. “And I guess that could mess with things too?”

Time Flies sighed. "Yes. But sadly, there's a stringent policy in regards to traveling in the future and what I can divulge. All I can give you are these," She gave Twilight pins with an hourglass symbol on them. "These are trackers. You should put them on your friends and know their whereabouts at all times. If anything strange happens, we need you to get to them ASAP!"

Twilight groaned beneath her breath, with Starlight messing with the future who knew what lay in store for Equestria. "I'm betting my friends and I aren't the only targets. If Starlight’s gone into the future she could go after almost anypony."

"Quite so,” Time Flies declared. “I'm afraid there could be another foal pandemic like before. I suggest being ready for anything and everything."

Twilight nodded as she replied. “Right, so I'll have to be on guard and reverse the age regressions, again."

"Right. But for now I suggest you go back to when Dr. Whooves took you back through time. It’ll be like you never left, only he and you will know what really happened." Time Flies explained. She then led Twilight back through the office to the time travel machines. There she set Twilight inside one that was really just a glorified outhouse that had been hastily reconverted. "Now, when you get back to your own timeline, everything should be relatively back to normal. But from that day forward the future is up to you. You're a part of the time travel bureau, so I'll offer you assistance from time to time if I can."

"Right. Thank you, Time Flies,” Twilight smiled. “You really did a lot, you know that?"

"Yeah,” Time Flies nodded. “But we're not out of the woods yet. In fact, things in your world are probably going to get a lot crazier than they already were."

Twilight sighed, she’d been hoping to finally get a break from crazy things like age regressions. But it seemed that Starlight was still going to try to turn her and her friends into foals. She'd just have to be vigilant, be ready, and study up on age spells. She turned to the dashboard and selected the date back to when she left Equestria, and the modified outhouse swirled with bright lights before she disappeared.

One thing was sure, Twilight was never going to take her potty training for granted ever again.
