A study in humility Twilight’s week as a foal

Chapter 1

Twilight's Surprise

It was a sunny day in Ponyville as Twilight Sparkle was working hard on the last parts to a new spell she had created. This spell would extend one’s life, and make the user feel younger for a short period of time. As she continued to read her spell book she heard her friends call up to her to hurry up and get ready so that they could go. Once Twilight had found that the spell was possible in theory she wrote to Celestia to report her finding and that once she had completed the spell she would show it to her, and now it was time to put her theory to the test; however as she cast her spell a wave of white glow covered her body from top to bottom, it blinded her; An ill feeling came over her as her whole body went numb. She tried to scream out but no sound out could come out, and when she regained feeling in her body there was a tingling going all through her body.

As she managed to crawl her way over to the mirror, she could only see a glimpse of what had happened, but she made out what was going on. Her mane was growing shorter, her legs retreating into her body, and her whole body had begun to shrink as well. When the glow disappeared Twilight slowly opened her eyes to see a foal in the mirror; she gasped in horror as she looked over the recent changes in her body. Her eyes were wide and confused looking, her teeth the very few she had were now small and not fully develop, yet the biggest shock to her was that her cutie mark was gone! Tears flowed down her face as she began to sob.

Just then Fluttershy was in the living room waiting with the others for Twilight to get ready when she heard something come from the upper floor, and Fluttershy being the kind hearted pony that she was decided to see if her friend was okay. As she entered the room she noticed that there was a small crying filly sitting in front of the mirror, Fluttershy walked slowly to it, this filly she reminded her of Twilight; being that the filly had the same mane and coat colors as her friend. She went up and said.

"Are you okay little one?" Unaware of whom it really was. Twilight looked up to Fluttershy, tears still dripping down her face.

"Flu-Flu-Fluttershy its meee." She managed to sob out.

Fluttershy's eyes widened in disbelief. "Twilight! Is that really you!" she breathed out. Twilight only managed to nod miserably still sobbing hard. Fluttershy quickly pulled her in close. "Shhh Twilight Shhh, It’s okay, it’s all going to be okay." she cooed in Twilight's ear.

"No...No it's not. I'm a tiny foal now, and it would seem that my magic is gone, we have to leave immediately to meet Princess Celestia, and I can't seem to stop crying." Twilight said sobbing some more.

"Shhh," Fluttershy cooed petting Twilight's head. "Why don't you tell me what you were doing and we'll see if we can fix it right here."

Twilight looked up at Fluttershy with such big hopeful watery eyes that it took every ounce of her will to not just squeeze her and coo at her some more. "I was working on a spell to prolong one’s life, and make them feel younger. It was just supposed to just let me live a longer life and not do anything significant at the present. Unfortunately it seems my calculations or the casting of my spell was flawed somehow; I don't know how though." Explained the now infantile unicorn.

Fluttershy giggled a bit. It was adorable seeing such a young foal using such big words. Twilight pouted at her giggling.

"Fluttershy this is serious! What if I can't change myself back or no pony else can change me? I'll have to relive my life all over again. And what if the Elements of Harmony don't work anymore and Discord or some other evil pony villain comes along to destroy Equestria. We wouldn’t be able stop them then, and Equestria would be doomed. And...And....And What if the Princess is disappointed in me and doesn't want me to be her student anymore? And...And...And..." Rambled Twilight a few hairs in her mane going askew as they did when she was panicked

By this time Fluttershy could see that Twilight was entering full panic mode. Thinking fast she quickly tightened her grip around Twilight and hoisted her closer to her chest while starting to rock her while humming quietly. Slowly but surely she could feel and hear Twilight’s breathing slow down and her body relax before all sounds and movement stopped. Looking down she giggled as she saw how cute foal Twilight looked asleep.

Now Twilight was sound asleep, with her head resting up to the kind hearted yellow Pegasus. Fluttershy smiled a little at the sight of this, but she knew that something must be done. She sighed as she sat herself down on Twilight's bed; she kept hold of Twilight close to her chest with one arm and used the other to place her hoof under her chin as she began to think. She pondered what to do, she didn't see a lot of choices and she didn't have ample time to think of something as she was cut short by shouting coming from the bottom story.

"Hey Twilight! What taking so long? We really need to get going!" Shouted one of their friends.

Fluttershy thoughts changed from Twilight to her other friends, who were now growing ever more impatient to head out and Celestia was expecting them soon, Celestia? It was then that Fluttershy came up with an idea, if twilight couldn’t use her magic right, then surely Celestia could easily fix this, but firstly there was the matter of the others.
Fluttershy propped Twilight up on her back as she slowly headed back downstairs feeling scared as she opened the door and headed down the stairs and back into the living room.

"There are you are Fluttershy daring, is Twilight ready yet?" Asked Rarity.

"Well you see...the thing is that." Fluttershy nervously stuttered out.

"Hey Fluttershy! Who is this ultra-super cute little foal sleeping on your back?" Asked Pinkie as she jumped right next to Fluttershy, freighting her.

' "Yeah Flutters, why is there a foal on your back?" Asked Rainbow Dash eyeing the foal. Fluttershy try as she might just couldn't say a word as everyone asked her about the strange foal sleeping on back, She was about to cry by the looks of it. It took a good ten minutes before she was able to force out her words.

"THE FOAL IS TWILIGHT!" She screamed with her eyes still shut. Everyponies eyes widened in shock as what Fluttershy said sunk in well everypony but Pinkie Pie her happy smile didn't change.

"She said she was trying out a spell when it messed up and turned her into a foal." Explained Fluttershy as all of Twilight’s friends took turns holding her. Pinkie pie couldn’t help but hug and pet the small foal, While Rarity worried about her friend, but also said she could try out some new foal clothes she made, Applejack was still shocked, and Rainbow Dash busted out laughing.

“Now the big egghead is a little egghead!” She guffawed as she passed her back to Fluttershy, but Twilight even while still asleep seemed to subconsciously know that somepony was laughing at her as her face showed anger and her horn started to glow, followed by the same glowing around Rainbow Dash as Twilight’s magic forced her to fly head first into the book shelves, hard. Soon the glow was gone and Twilight was once again smiling.

“Ow, hey, she hit me!” Snapped Rainbow Dash

"Now Dash, she’s only a baby now. It was a random burst of magic nothing more you know that she can't control it, and beside we got more pressing matters as it were because now that Twilight is a foal we’ll have to put the trip on hold, and somepony really should go out and tell Spike." said Rarity.

"Well not really, I mean...um...we are seeing Celestia and she could fix this in no time." interjected Fluttershy. The others agreed and they headed out, soon they were in a carriage heading for Canterlot but they had to make one stop at the store before heading out, Fluttershy went in and came back out as fast as she could, carry some bags.

"What's that stuff?" asked Pinkie.

"Hmmm...Well i-it’s just some foal stuff, for Twilight. You know diapers, bottles, formula, and other things." Said Fluttershy as she took out a diaper and put it on the still resting Twilight on the seat next to her, she then proceeded to carefully wrap a cozy blue blanket around Twilight, as she did this Fluttershy couldn’t help but smile to see how adorable Twilight looked as the unicorn slept in her caring hoofs.

They hoped that Twilight would sleep all thought the carriage ride as it would be easier. Twilight lay resting on a big purple pillow that was at least 10 times her size still wrapped in Fluttershy's blanket, and it seemed that everypony couldn't keep their eyes off Twilight, it was hard to try and focus on anything else even if they tried to, she was just so cute that way. They had started the journey to Canterlot at midday, and they were about halfway there now when Twilight started to violently toss and turn in her sleep, sweat starting to drip off her.

Twilight eyes flew open, she looked horrified. She screamed at the top of her little lungs and started to sob, wailing like small foals tend to do. Fluttershy was fast to act and put her hoofs around her and gently squeezed her.

"Aw, poor baby. What’s wrong?" Asked Fluttershy in soft caring tone of voice, Twilight’s crying died down quite a bit but still was sobbing a lot.

"Well" Twilight sniffed a bit before answering “I had this nightmare, where my spell messed up and the princess told me, t-that I was a disappointment and was no longer her best student, then I saw all these ponies laughing at me, and their eyes were bright red and then-" Continued Twilight before she couldn’t go on and began to cry once again on Fluttershy’s shoulder. Fluttershy then placed her hoof up to Twilight’s mouth and put a pacifier inside so that she would calm down, it was then that she looked around the carriage; confused as to where she was.

"Umm....where am I?"

Fluttershy looked around, every pony looked around from the two, no pony wanting to tell her.

"Well...um...you said your spell went wrong and turned you into a baby, so well...now we're on a carriage to Canterlot so that the princess can fix you." Fluttershy said; this put Twilight into a full out panic.

"What, but her will-" she began but before she could finish Fluttershy was hugging her once more.

"She will help you, I promise, now do you want some milk?" Asked Fluttershy.

"No, I'm still technically an adult, so I’m not going to drink from a bottle. Said Twilight turning her head and pouting.

"But you don't have any teeth, so how are you supposed to eat anything.” Said Rainbow

"Fine....give me some stupid milk." Huffed Twilight looking down. Fluttershy pulled out a bottle of milk and held it up to Twilight's mouth; Twilight put her lips to it and started suckling. The milk trickled down Twilight's throat and she enjoyed drinking the milk, it brought back happy memories from when she was a foal and Shining Armor would take care of her. She sucked on the amber nipple until the bottle was dry. She then looked up to see her friends staring at her in surprise.
Twilight blushed, "Sorry."

"It's okay Sugarcube; it's just... odd is all." Applejack stated.

"Yeah!" Pinkie chimed in, "You are just a cutie wittle foal, so it’s not your fault. Just be super-duper adorable and cute and don't even worry about it!"

Everypony nodded in agreement.

Twilight sat up, "So, what are we going to do if the Princess can't help me?"

"Let's not think about that right now, darling," Rarity said sweetly.

"But we need to plan!" Twilight protested.

"Look Twilight, I'm sorry but the answer is no." Rainbow said a bit harshly.

"B-but. Fine!" Twilight said curling up in a ball in Fluttershy’s hooves. Twilight cried a few tears then subconsciously moved her left hoof into her mouth and sucked silently. Fluttershy noticed but said nothing.

It was then that Twilight fell back asleep and when she woke up they had arrived in Canterlot, Twilight also found that as she had slept she had wet her diaper. She then began to cry softly, her tears removed by Rarity.

"Come on now Twilight, we can change you as soon as we get to the palace, Okay” Said Rarity as she levitated Twilight into the stroller that Fluttershy had brought and began down the street. Twilight nodded, and watched as the city of Canterlot passed her by. As they walked, Twilight began to feel a pressure build up in her stomach; her body was telling her something that she didn’t want to hear being stuck in the position she was in. Noticing Twilight’s distress Fluttershy leaned down and got her attention.

“Is something wrong Twilight?” She asked.

“I really have to go to the bathroom!” Cried Twilight as she crossed her front hooves over her stomach as it started gurgling and she let out a loud wet fart into her diaper.

“Well isn’t that what your diaper is for?” Asked Fluttershy smiling as she watched Twilight struggle to keep her diaper clean.

“Yes, but I really don’t want to act like a foal just because I’ve been turned into one!” Wailed Twilight as another fart came out of her and she started to feel herself filling her diaper with poo.

“Please Fluttershy help me!” Begged Twilight.

“I’m really sorry Twilight but since we don’t really know whether or not the princess can help you, It’s better that you learn to get used to the fact that you’re a foal now, and foals don’t know how to use the potty.” Said Fluttershy sorrowfully as Twilight lost the rest of her control and released her bowels into her diaper with a loud noise.

“Nooooooo!” Sobbed Twilight as she felt it spreading throughout her diaper. “I’m not a baby, I’m not a baby!” She continued to wail as she felt herself losing what little dignity she had left.

As they walked through town it was lucky for Twilight that they weren't recognized by anypony; they had reached the castle grounds and were let in, no pony spoke, not even Pinkie Pie. It was then that Twilight heard trotting coming from behind her but she couldn't turn to see who it was.

"Oh how was the honeymoon, Princess?" Twilight heard Rarity say.

Wait a second, princess; honeymoon Twilight thought to herself and it suddenly hit her.

"Cadence!" Twilight cried her name out in a high pitched squeal.

"Twilight Sparkle?" Cadence asked then Cadence's face appeared in front of the purple foal. Cadence stated at her. "Is that you, Twi?"

"Ye-yes..." Twilight busted into tears again. Twilight didn't want to be a foal and didn't want to think about it.

"Oh my, now don’t cry Twili." Cadence immediately pulled Twilight out and began to cradle her.

"She's just so sensitive," Fluttershy stated.

"I can see that," Cadence said rocking her sister in-law.

“Of course it doesn’t help that she’s messed herself. We’ll have to get her changed once we get inside. It’s just lucky that I happen to still have some of Twilight’s diapers from when I foalsat her when she was little.” Said Cadence as she continued to rock Twilight in her aura. It was then that Fluttershy whipped out the pacifier from the carriage and placed into Twilight's mouth. Twilight's jaw snapped close instantly and she began to suckle and soon her sobbing was reduced to sniffling. They started back towards the castle Cadence carrying Twilight the whole way. It was then that they stopped by Cadence’s room to change Twilight’s diaper before going to see Celestia.

“Oh wow Twili! You really did a number on this diaper!” Giggled Cadence once she had gotten Twilight strapped down and the baby changing supplies out.

“I didn’t mean to!” Wailed Twilight as Cadence continued to clean the filly’s nether regions. “I told Fluttershy that I had to go potty.” Twilight continued to pout as Cadence put the new diaper on Twilight.

“And I told her that since we didn’t known if the princess could help her, and how long this would last for if not, it was better that she learn to get used to being a filly again. I was doing the right thing, Right?” Asked Fluttershy starting off strong but then slowly becoming more and more timid.

“Don’t worry Fluttershy, You did the right thing, and you know that she’s right Twilight. Okay you don’t have to be ashamed. Even though you kept your mind; you’re a filly now, and until we find a way to turn you back it’s better that you don’t draw attention to yourself, and simply act like a filly, Okay hun?” Explained Cadence as she lowered Twilight down from the changing table and gave her a hug.

“But what will Princess Celestia think of me?” Asked Twilight tears once again building up in the young filly’s eyes.
“Probably that you’re the cutest thing ever!” Gushed Cadence as she hugged the filly tighter in her hooves.

“Trust me Twilight Aunt Celestia isn’t going to thing any less of you okay. She out of anypony knows the dangers of working with untested magics, and the effects that they can have on the unicorn or Alicorn that cast them. Now cheer up my little pony, and lets go see your teacher!” Said Cadence sitting Twilight down and patting her on her head.

“Okay.” Replied Twilight not at all feeling as strong as she sounded.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

“Aww! You are just the cutest thing ever!” Squealed Celestia once Fluttershy had explained to Celestia what had happened to Twilight and got her to stop hiding behind Cadence.

“You mean you’re not going to punish me, or stop being my teacher, or!” Began Twilight starting to panic before Celestia picked her up and hugged her.

“Of course not my little pony, why would you think I would do that to you? I’ve had plenty of magical backlashes happen to me, and things much worse than regression were the result of those misfires. Why in the name of all that is good in Equestria would I punish you for something I’ve done myself?” Cooed Celestia to the troubled filly as she rocked her back and forth in her hooves.

“I don’t know. I guess I was just scared.” Replied Twilight wrapping her hooves in Celestia’s mane and calming down
.

“It’s okay you don’t have to be scared now, but I do have to tell you that the only way to reverse a magical backlash is to wait for the excess magic or spell to ware off because that’s what causes them. When a spell that is too great a level for a unicorn or Alicorn is cast, it causes the spell to misfire and the remaining effect that the caster’s magic was unable to control will for an undetermined amount of time affect them as the spell would normally, but with a much greater result. Your spell’s intended effect was to make one live longer, and to feel younger correct, so it goes without saying that the effect of the magical backlash of such a spell would be regression. Let’s just be thankful that your mind was not regressed along with your body, as I have had that happen before, and believe me it wasn’t fun. Luna still has the pictures, and always tells me she’ll show them to everypony if I don’t let her have her way.” Celestia huffed shaking her head at the bad memories. “But I digress, it is most annoying and embarrassing I know, but until the spell wears off there’s nothing anypony can do. In fact you may even remain a foal forever.” Explained Celestia solemnly.

“I could be stuck as a foal forever!” Stuttered Twilight before she passed out.
