A story about a playdate of sorts. Also, this was an idea I had since I saw a “certain” animatic on YouTube.

This is a story that I’ve always wanted to do since I’ve seen Magpiepony’s “Sombra’s First Defeat” baby comic animation online on YouTube. So I figured; why not write a story where Sombra babysits Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash? Mainly because supposedly they wanted him to since they were bored. Anyways, please enjoy and feel free to leave suggestions for editing, and or some nice comments. Peace.

Prologue: The Calm Before The Storm (Literally)

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were at the Crystal Empire; trying to decide what souvenir to bring home back to Ponyville. They were at the Crystal Empire because firstly; Flurry Heart was having trouble flying ever since she first turned six. Secondly; somepony was having a birthday party, but with no one to celebrate it with. Lastly; they were bored with the same routine of Ponyville, and wanted to do something fun. So they’ve decided to visit the Crystal Empire, explore a bit, and then went to the souvenir shop before they left. However...

“Ugh, I can’t decide”, said Rainbow Dash in a huff. She was choosing whether to get a crystal empire snow globe for her toy collection at home, or getting herself a nice piece of magic crystal that can supposedly give you a nice dream after you’ve fallen asleep. Basically, it’s a novelty that magically plays out any calming sound or noises that’ll help its user get a good night sleep; whilst lighting up the room with soothing colors.

Pinkie Pie was feeling anxious, and was fidgeting around in anticipation. “Ooh, hurry dashie. I don’t know how much longer we have.”

Rainbow turned towards Pinkie Pie, and said; “relax pinkie. I’m just deciding what to get before we leave. Besides...”. She then starts to lean against the counter, and continued, “...we have all the time that we could ever have. I’m sure we can make it back before the train tracks frost over, right?”

Pinkie Pie thought it over; before nodding in agreement. Once Rainbow Dash has decided to just get both souvenirs, they both left the shop and moved towards the train station to catch the train before it either leaves, or gets stuck due to the tracks being frosted over. Unfortunately... that’s exactly what happened. Meaning, the tracks have frozen over, and the train is no longer operational. With that, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie then decided to head back to the Crystal Empire castle to wait it out.

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie then started to have fun with their new souvenirs. Until...

Chapter Two: The Shadow’s Return

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were walking back and forth in Flurry Heart’s room; contemplating whether this was a good idea, or not. Pinkie Pie was thinking at first about cupcakes and rainbows, (mind you, not the ones about her times with Rainbow Dash. Sheesh, you Pinkie x Dash shippers need to get a grip), but then she decided otherwise and continued thinking about her proposal. Rainbow Dash meanwhile was so bored that she stopped thinking to just sigh loudly, then she continued to think about the proposal that Pinkie made about their supposed antidote to their boredom. After what seemed like a solid hour, (even though it’s been five minutes), Pinkie and Rainbow Dash have made their decision.

“You sure this villain won’t just harm us?” Rainbow asked in a concerned voice. Pinkie replied, “no biggie. We can just send this villain back to where they belong if they do anything funny; in a bad way of course.” Rainbow thought that through, and said “okay pinkie, I trust you. I just hope this doesn’t get us in trouble is all.” Pinkie commented “relax” and says “besides, what’s the worst that can happen?”...

After receiving a book from Twilight that reads: “Summoning Spells for Non-Magic Users”, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash then opened the book together, and decided to try summoning a villain together for the very first time. However, right before they can make their decision, they’ve decided to think about which villain to summon, and what may happen if the villain arrives.

“Okay,” began Pinkie Pie, “I think I have to choose a villain with you. But which one?” Rainbow thought for a minute, and asked “Tirek?” Pinkie replied, “no. Too easy to be corrupted with power.” Rainbow asked for Chrysalis, and then Pinkie replied “no” again. “Too much desire for love.” This went on for several minutes, before they came to the conclusion that it’s down to the final villain....

“Well... we’re gonna get in trouble for this.. aren’t we?” Rainbow said to Pinkie. Pinkie replied “yup. Pretty much. But hey, at least we’ve had fun, right?” Rainbow replied “exactly”, and holds Pinkie’s hoof as they began the spell.

Suddenly, they see wisps of shadows envelop their symbol that they drew on the ground, and stepped back to see the villain that they summoned. With a dark and deep voice, the villain called out; “greetings, my former enemies. I am King Sombra: King of Shadows. Since you two have summoned me, might I ask; why did you two summon me? And what is your purpose in doing so? Speak now, or I will make you both regret summoning me.”

And with that, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash began their explaination....

Chapter Four: A Very Rough Start

After Sombra has blasted the two with a spell, he then waits and sat down to see if the spell has worked; since after all, he’s a villain, and has possibly had a life’s knowledge of spells and sorcery.

Once the dust has settled, and the clouds around Pinkie and Rainbow has dissipated, they then started to look at each other with small foalish eyes, and started examining each other. “Pinkie?” Rainbow said in a high pitched voice. “Wainbow?” Pinkie said with also a high pitched voice. After a few seconds, both got up, gasped, and hugged each other in excitement. “Wewe boff foaws again, yay!“

Sombra then enveloped them with his magic, levitated the two in front of him, and says in a slight chuckle with a smile, “alright, alright. Yes, you two are infants again. Now then, let me get you two in diapers, and then I’ll begin babysitting y’all, okay?”

Both Pinkie and Rainbow whined at that statement, and then Rainbow started to say “but we no wanna, we wanna pway.” Sombra growled slightly, sighed, and then says in a disapproving and annoyed tone; “look now you two; either you wear diapers, or have accidents all over the place when I’m babysitting y’all. Would y’all like that?”

Both looked at each other for a moment, before shaking their heads no, and looked down in defeat. Sombra then says “alright then; that’s what I figured. Now then; off to work for me.” And with that, both Pinkie and Rainbow are diapered, and powdered.

“Alright”, Sombra says in a huff, “let’s get you two fed, and then we can do something else afterwards, okay?” But before neither of the two infants started to respond, they both hear their tummies growling, and then started to cry. “Aww geez”, said Sombra to himself, “this is gonna be tougher than I thought it would. I mean, how else is this gonna get worse from here?” Something tells Sombra that it is definitely gonna get worse from here on out...

Chapter Six: Stink Bombs and a Worse For The Wear Villain

As Sombra entered the room, he saw that his two “summoners” have boughten some interesting souvenirs; albeit, some looking more expensive than others.

“Sheesh”, Sombra started to comment. “Did you two buy this stuff?” Both nodded yes, but Rainbow said, “uh huh. But we wewe bowred.” Sombra blinked, chuckled to himself, and said, “no kidding. I thought you were gonna buy the entire kingdom with that much stuff.”

Both of them started to whine bitterly at that comment, but then were sat down on Sombra’s lap. “So, tell me kids, what do y’all wanna do?” Both of the fillies thought for a moment, before Pinkie replied, “we buiwd a fowrt?” Sombra nodded, but said, “possible. But then again, I don’t know if the royal couple has anything to use as a fort. Or any materials to build one for that matter.” Both whined and then started to crawl off of Sombra in search of something to play with. “Okay”, he began, “I’ll just.. wait here then.” Sombra then went off to find a book, and sat down once he’s found the perfect one, (even though the room was filled with children’s books instead of ones for adults like him).

Pinkie Pie climbed on top of Sombra with a plushie in her mouth, tapped him with her hoof, and then asked, “what ya weading dewre?” Sombra looked at Pinkie, and said, “just some random book about gusty. You wouldn’t like it.” Her eyes lit up, and asked, “gusty? C-can you wead it to me?“ Sombra sighed, and said, “okay kid, but no funny business, got it?” Pinkie nodded and raised her hooves. Sombra then sat Pinkie on his lap, and then began reading the story all over again.

After what seems like a few minutes, the story was over, and Pinkie cheered. “You like the story?” Sombra asked. Pinkie nodded, but then looked down and hears her tummy rumbling. Pinkie started to whine, which made Sombra ask, “you alright?” She shook her head no, and stated; “tummy huwrts.” He then said, “okay then”, and then started to put his shadow hands on Pinkie’s belly, and began rubbing it.

Pinkie started to whine and whimper, but then sighed as she began to feel better from the belly rubbing. “Feeling better?” Sombra asked. Pinkie nodded, and said, “I feew bettewr.” “Good”, he replied, “glad to hear it”, and then Sombra continued to rub Pinkie’s belly.

However, after doing so a second time, this caused Pinkie Pie to blush, grunt, and push into her diaper; causing it to grow on King Sombra’s lap as she started pooping. “Uh oh”, said Sombra. “Had to go?” Pinkie nodded and continued grunting. After a few minutes, she sighs in relief, blushes, and giggled, while saying, “I made poopies.” She then began to laugh hysterically and started kicking her legs. Sombra winced, and said, “no kidding, hehe. I thought you were gonna explode or something.” Rainbow flew by and said, “she did; in her diapee.” After that statement, all three started to laugh hysterically together.

After Pinkie was changed, she ran off to go play with a pile of plushies. Just then, Rainbow flew up to Sombra, and said, “my bewwy huwrts.” Sombra sighs; knowing as to what’s gonna happen afterwards, and says, “come here rainbow; I’ll help you”, and sat down so Rainbow can get some belly rubs. After Rainbow flew close to Sombra, he then sat her down on his lap, and started rubbing her belly. Sombra then started to ask, “so kid. What gave you the idea of being babysat by me?” Rainbow winced slightly due to the slight pain, and said, “pinkie”, before breathing fast because of her stomachache.

After a few minutes, Rainbow felt something, and then started pushing; causing a wet sound to occur in Rainbow’s diaper as she started to poop, (or “explode” in this case). Sombra then groans slightly in disgust; having heard, and felt Rainbow’s explosion, but was also glad that her diaper held it all in. After a few more minutes, Rainbow sighed in relief, and said, “I feew bettewr.” Sombra snickered slightly, and said, “you think so?” Rainbow started to laugh, and so did Sombra. Afterwards, he began to pick up Rainbow, changed her, and then crashed onto Flurry Heart’s bed while she ran towards Pinkie, and dived into the pile of plushies as well. After five minutes, both fillies started to yawn, feel sleepy, and then fell asleep on the mess of plushies on the ground. Soon, all three will wake up, and have a fascinating adventure ahead of them. But what?...

Chapter Seven: A Battle of the Ages

After a few hours, all three ponies woke up and started stretching. Sombra yawned loudly and stretched; stating “wow. I haven’t slept like that ever since I was defeated, and sent off into limbo.” Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were rubbing their eyes, and nodded weakly since they just woke up. Sombra got off and asked, “need any help?” Both of the fillies shook their heads, and then started walking out of the room.

However; before they could even start to make their first steps out the door, Sombra proceeded to pick them up, and hugged them. “Hey cmon now, y’all aren’t supposed to leave yet.” Pinkie and Rainbow both yawned, then Pinkie replied “yeah, but wewe stiww sweepy. We wants to wake up.” Sombra then stated, “alright then. But... what do y’all say of a battle, eh?” Rainbow and Pinkie started to wake up more, and then Rainbow asked “what kind of battwe?” Sombra smirked, and began his explanation...

After he fully explained what he was talking about, both fillies nodded and bounced up in excitement. Unfortunately, they fell back down as they were still too weak from waking up. Sombra nodded “ah, I get it now. Here; drink this. It helps.” Both of the fillies looked at their sippy cups that’s filled with some type of fluid. Pinkie and Rainbow both asked, “what is it?” Sombra replied, “something cold to help you wake up.” And with that, the fillies began drinking their drinks. After their first sip however, they started shivering, and then Pinkie said “w-w-wow that’s cold. W-what was that?” Sombra simply stated “cold water. You like it?” Rainbow smirked, and said whilst shivering “w-weawwy now? D-dats it? Hah. I-I dwank way too many c-cowd dwinks when I was smaww. S-s-so it no boder me.. m-much.”

After Sombra sat them on his lap again and wrapped the two of them in a blanket, they sighed in relief, and nuzzled close to each other and Sombra whilst continuing to drink from their cups since they were feeling good, and warm too. “Aww”, he started to comment, “so sweet.” Both fillies blushed and continued drinking their beverages.

After a few minutes, both fillies sighed, and tossed their sippy cups aside. Rainbow turned, and says “danks sombwa. You da best.” Sombra smiled slightly, and said “aww, no problem little cutie.” He then pinched one of Rainbow’s cheeks gently; which caused Rainbow to squeak, and giggle at that gesture. After that, both fillies unwrapped themselves, got off of King Sombra, and then gained some distance from him before shouting “youww nevewr have the cwystaw empiwre. You heaw us? Nevewr!” And with that, Sombra laughed evilly, and stated “oh really now huh? Hehe, then come and get me.”

After King Sombra defeated the two fillies, both Pinkie and Rainbow laughed whilst wiggling their hooves, and then Pinkie said “dat was fun. Wets pway adventuwre again.” Sombra nodded, but says “I guess so. But what if the family comes back?” Rainbow flew up to King Sombra, and says “so what? We have mowre fun now. Wight?” Sombra thought for a moment, and said “right”, before grabbing Rainbow, and tickling her belly; which causes her to giggle and flail her hooves.

Epilogue: A Nice Warm (yet rough) Welcome Home

Soon, after the three thought of another adventure game, both Pinkie and Rainbow Dash gained some distance between them and Sombra, and got into battle stances whilst shouting, “youww nevewr bweak us! We wawwiors! And we wiww defeat you!” Sombra cackled manically, and stated, “oh is that so huh? Two little gladiators able to defeat a champion?! Hah! So be it.” He then got into a battle stance of his own, and says “I hope you like the taste of ground”, before clashing with Rainbow and Pinkie Pie.

Soon after a few minutes of pretend gladiator fighting, the Royal family returned to a strange, yet cute scene: an old grown up villain battling Rainbow and Pinkie Pie as babies, and supposedly, neither were going to win when suddenly they spotted a lion plushie, and attacked it. And with that, the three gladiators won the battle, and all bowed down in victory with the crowd cheering them on; unaware that the Royal family have been watching them ever since they returned.

Soon afterwards, all three gladiators hugged each other, and laughed; knowing that they’ve had lots of fun, and are planning on having more and more similar adventures like that into the future.

The end.

Chapter One: The Proposal of Fun

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were currently fidgeting with their little souvenirs that they’ve purchased from the gift shop in Flurry Heart’s room. Why they’re there is simple. Since the royal family needed a break from staying in the castle all day, Pinkie and Rainbow were tasked with castle-sitting for the day. Meanwhile, the royal family has decided to go and explore the Crystal Kingdom since it’s snowing out, and that they were getting bored from staying inside all day. Which apparently is what’s gonna happen...

After what seemed like hours, Pinkie Pie dropped her plastic figurine of Cadence on the ground whilst laying on top of Flurry Heart’s bed, sighed in boredom, and stated, “I’m bored. Let’s do something fun.” Rainbow Dash was sighing and rolling her eyes at Pinkie’s supposed whining, and said, “if you’re bored, then go play with something. You are kinda like a kid after all”, she smirked. Pinkie Pie took slight offense to that, and said; “hey, no I’m not. You are.” Rainbow Dash then retorted, “nuh uh, you are.” Both of them went back and forth like this, until they’ve called it a draw, and went back to being bored.

“*groans* I’m so bored. There’s like literally nothing to do besides staying here all day, and just moping around.” Rainbow Dash was so bored that she even decided to blow a random raspberry for the supposed fun of it.

“*sigh* yeah”, Pinkie replied while looking bored as ever. Just then, she had an idea, but hesitated at first. “Hey uh, dashie?” Rainbow rose up slightly and asked “what’s up?” Pinkie asked; “nothing... but I was thinking... maybe we can get one of the old villains to.. I don’t know... babysit us?” Rainbow blinked, and retorted; “you nuts? No way. No way in Equestria would we ever have a villain babysit us. I mean... we’re not babies you know.” Pinkie then said; “yeah, but we could be, if we wanted to right? I mean, it’s happened before right?” Rainbow responded with “Yeah.. but that was a side effect from Zecora’s potion that Twilight took for her alicorn allergies; not us.” Both Pinkie and Rainbow sighed.

Just then, Pinkie proposed something: “hey, what if we do this, huh? Just this once, I promise.” Rainbow thought about that for a moment, before replying “well maybe. I don’t know. I’m not so sure.” Pinkie frowned, and whined “oh cmon. Please?” Rainbow sighed, and said “okay pink, but just this once, got it? One time, and it’s over, okay?” Pinkie nodded, and asked “okay. But.. how are we gonna do it? And.. who’s gonna be babysitting us?” Something tells them that this is gonna take a while to think and process this proposal. It’s gonna be a long one too...

Chapter Three: A Weird (yet interesting) Answer

After what felt like an eternity, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash has successfully explained their reasonings for summoning King Sombra, and were waiting for his response in slight nervousness, and anticipation.

Sombra blinked, paused to think for a bit, and then sighs. He then says “so let me get this straight. You want me to babysit the two of you as infants, because you are bored?” Rainbow Dash replied sheepishly “yes?...”. Sombra then sat down, and said “huh. Well.. okay then. Why not?” and shrugged. “I’ve got nothing else to do, so what the heck; why not.” Both Pinkie and Rainbow started to cheer, but was cut off by Sombra placing a hoof in front of them; who then says “however, I do have some conditions in mind.” Pinkie and Rainbow both sat down, and nodded to let Sombra speak. He then says “number one: don’t make a fuss or whine whenever you guys are infants, got it?” They both nodded. Sombra then continued; “two: under no circumstances are any of y’all to leave my sight. As much as y’all are my enemies, I still can’t let y’all get lost, and possibly get hurt or worse. That’s my job after all.” Pinkie and Rainbow both gulped and nodded in nervousness, and approval. “Finally: if you two were to cause trouble, (intentionally or otherwise,) then I will no longer be your babysitter, and you two will be punished, got that?” Both of them nodded and said “yes sir”, before looking down in nervousness and slight defeat. Sombra then said “alright then”, and then clapped his shadow hands together before saying “let’s do this”, before lighting up his horn...

Chapter Five: Messy Feedings=Anger

Once Sombra has seated both Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash into their respective booster seats, he then went on to look for something for the both of them to eat.

Before he chose something for them, he turned around, and asked “hey, what’d y’all like to eat?” Both Pinkie and Rainbow thought for a bit before deciding. Rainbow said she wanted apple sauce. Pinkie meanwhile, said that she wanted bananas and strawberries. Sombra smiled and gave the two their food in small plastic bowls. “Enjoy”, he said with a smile.

However, right as they were about to eat, they decided to have some fun by starting a food fight. Sombra stopped them by putting his shadow hands on them, and threatened “hey now. If y’all don’t behave, then y’all are seriously gonna regret it, okay?” After the two heard the threat, they stopped and started eating. However, Rainbow started to whine a little before she even took a bite, and asked “can you hewp me. I can’t hold on to my spoon.” Pinkie followed suit, and said “yeah, me too. Pwease hewp us?” Sombra sighed, and said “alright, but no funny business, got it?” Both Rainbow and Pinkie nodded, and waited for Sombra to feed them.

As soon as they were both being fed, they cooperated for a few servings, then decided to just throw mashed fruits at Sombra, and everywhere. However, this caused Sombra to flip a table, and threw multiple plates at the sink; which shattered. Once the two foals saw what happened, they gasped and started to eat again so they won’t get in trouble.

After five minutes, Sombra calmed down after destroying most of the kitchen, sighed, and said “now then. Misbehave like that again, and it’ll be you two next, okay?” Both fillies paused eating and nodded their heads before continuing to eat.

After another five minutes, the two little infants sighed in relief, and rubbed their big bellies; knowing that they’re full, and satisfied of their meal. Rainbow even burped afterwards once she was finished.

With a chuckle, Sombra said “alright you two, let’s get cleaned up, and see what else is there to do, okay?” Both of the fillies nodded and raised their hooves. After Sombra picked them up, he used a spell to instantly clean/repair the kitchen, and then brings them off somewhere to do something else. However... this activity that they’re gonna do may or may not end well....
