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.
"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.
"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.
“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.

The foal inside is coming out
“This could have gone better.” Groaned Celestia as she picked up Twilight’s limp body in her aura and began to carry her to the nursery, signalling that the others should follow her. As she entered the room and put Twilight down into Cadence’s old crib she couldn’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia hit her; when was the last time she had gotten to do this?
It had to of been at least a couple of decades since Cadence had used this crib, and Luna never being one for researching new ways of longevity had never been regressed by magic, so it was quite a blast from the past for her as she watched Twilight cuddle up into the blankets, and grab the closest stuffed toy which just happened to be a plush doll of Celestia herself that had been made for the nights that the filly pegacorn just couldn’t sleep.
As Celestia kissed Twilight good-bye and turned to leave the nursery with the others. It was then that Twilight began to babble in her sleep, holding the doll even closer to herself.
“Pwincess.” She cooed as the door was quietly shut and the group left her to recover from the shock of what Celestia had told her.
“I’m sorry Princess, but what do you mean by break her completely?” Asked Rarity concerned for her friend’s future state of mind.
“It means exactly what it sounds like Rarity. Twilight Sparkle’s mind if pushed too far in this state could regress back to the state of a foal as well, but more than likely in that case the effects would be permanent.” Explained Celestia as she began to pace back and forth in front of her throne. “Do you remember what she cooed back there in the nursery as she hugged that stuffed doll of me?” Asked Celestia turning the other others with a remorse look in her eyes.
“She called out for you, didn’t she?” Replied Rainbow Dash as what Celestia was saying had sunk in.
“Pwincess, not Princess, But Pwincess. It’s already starting to become too much for her mind to take, if mental shocks like the one that happened in here a few minutes ago continue to happen, then it very likely that we could lose her.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I wonder what that could be, Tia hasn’t had a child in the castle since i’ve been back, i mean as far as i know the last child to have lived in the castle as a foal was Cadence. Well at any rate i should investigate, a child should not be left alone when they're upset. Thought Luna as she headed off in the direction of the crying.
“I don’t like it in here!” Wailed Twilight as she held the stuffed Celestia close to her. “Where did everypony go?” Just then, the door opened and Luna stepped inside.
“I’m here little one, everything’s going to be just fine.” Cooed Luna, picking up the foal in her aura, having not yet noticed it was Twilight.
“Princess Luna?” Asked Twilight having calmed down and returned to normal, the previous mental regression having worn off after Twilight was allowed to rest.
“Indeed, I am Princess Luna of Equestria, who are you?” Asked Luna confused as she was not used to foals being able to talk in a normal fashion.
“It’s me, Twilight Sparkle.” Replied Twilight, not positive that the Princess would believe her.
“Twilight Sparkle, you say? Yes, you do look like the mare I met last Nightmare night, however, it proves nothing; If you are who you claim to be, then answer these questions, are you ready?” Asked Luna, having put Twilight back into the crib.
“Yes.” She replied.
“Very well then, Twilight Sparkle has an assistant. Of which race does he belong to and what is his name?” Asked Luna while watching the foal carefully to see if she would cheat.
“He is a dragon and his name is Spike.” Twilight said full of confidence “And something you may not be aware of is that I am the one who hatched him at my entrance exam; you can confirm this with your sister.”
“Ok now what is Twilight Sparkles special talent” Luna asked with more of a sly tone
“Magic, and I am the element of magic. I freed you from Nightmare Moon and defeated Discord, any more questions?” Twilight said with a little tone.
“No, Twilight Sparkle, I believe you now. I’m sorry that I put you though that, but I had to be sure. You can never be too careful; as if I had not questioned you what would stop a changeling from transforming into you as a foal to get close to Tia and I.” Explained Luna picking up Twilight once again and hugging the foal.
“I know that. I was the one who knew about their Cadence being an imposter at the wedding.” Twilight said, It was then that Twilight noticed something she hadn’t before and she blushed.
“Umm Princess, this is kinda embarrassing, but, umm, I....” Twilight stammered.
Luna began giggling at the foal. “You just woke up and need me to change you, is that right?” She smiled.
Twilight buried her face in Luna’s mane and started to cry, nodding.
“It’s going to be okay Twilight, We’ll get you cleaned up and then we’ll take you back to your friends and my sister; I assume they are here correct?” Luna asked the foal.
“Yes they are.” Twilight said as Luna put the foal on the changing table and began to clean her up, noticing a little pink footed sleeper and putting it on her once she was done.
“There, all done” Luna said, giggling at her hoof work.
“Do I have to wear this?” Asked Twilight, blushing.
“Well yes, seeing as you are a baby now, it’s important to keep your body heat insulated.” Luna informed the foal.
“But what will my friends and your sister and Cadence think?” Twilight asked, almost panicking, her mane starting to mess up.
“Well, if they are anything like me they will want to hug you even more.” Luna added with a sly grin.
“Okay, but can you order the guards to not say a word about this outside of the castle?” Asked Twilight.
“I can’t make any promises they won’t, but I will try my hardest.” Luna said, pinching Twilight’s cheek. “However maybe you shouldn’t worry about it because we’re going to have fun while this lasts anyways.” Laughed Luna.
“Fine, let’s just go then.” Twilight said with a pout.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“I know i remember this was yours so i put it on her” Luna said just as giddy
“Oh my!” Squeaked Fluttershy speechless at Twilight’s cuteness, while Rainbow Dash couldn't stop laughing. After a second Twilight’s horn began to glow throwing Rainbow Dash into a wall
“WHAT THE HECK TWILIGHT” Rainbow Dash yelled
“That’ll teach you to laugh at me like that” Twilight said
“ So, You can control your magic? Asked Rainbow Dash
“No i can’t Rainbow Dash just a little emotional kind of thing its a magic outburst we told you and the cake’s this when Pound and Pumpkin were born” Twilight said
“Well, Ugh” Huffed Rainbow Dash all the while everypony else’s stomach’s were grumbling
“Well i think we need to get some dinner” Celestia said “I will have the cooks try and make something for Twilight here” she said nervously
“Well at any rate we should go and get something to eat before we all starve.” Said Luna opeing the door from the throne room and leading the way out.
“Wait what did that mean make something for me” Twilight asked.
“Simply put Twilight you’re not ready for pony food yet, and being that the last foal we had here was Cadence we need to inform the cooks to make something that’s easy to digest and that you don’t have to chew”. Explained Celestia as Twilight glared at her from over Cadence’s shoulder.
“Oh My if looks could kill.” Giggled Luna as they reached the dining hall and the two Princesses left to inform the cooks that a foal was present. While Cadence set up a high chair for Twilight.
“Really...” Facehoofed Twilight as Cadence buckled her in.
“Safety measures Twi we don’t want you falling and getting yourself hurt” Cadence said
“I’m not going to fall!” Huffed Twilight as Cadence petted her mane
“Ok sure you wo-”Rainbow Dash started before gaining a glare from Twilight immediately shutting her up
“Ah think ya’ll better just keep your yap shut Rainbow before ya’ll find out what it’s like to lay into a china cabinet” AppleJack said
“Oh i think Twilight looks cute like that” Rarity said
“Of course you would, Rarity” Sighed Twilight resigned to her fate.
“Be lucky ya’ll ar gettin food ah remember when AppleBloom,Big Mac and ah were that age we still got milk so just go with it” AppleJack added.
“ And i think that could be arranged if you don’t behave Twilight, I could always feed you like that, but we’re trying to keep you from being stressed.” Added Cadence giggling a little at the idea of Twilight feeding off her as if she were Her and Shining Armor’s daughter.
“That’s Okay...” Said Twilight blushing a little.
“Ok then good to know but now i want to keep you” Cadence said with a sly grin creeping across her muzzle “I wonder is Shining Armor would like to have a filly” she added
“Eeeep no you win ok i will be calm and good” Twilight said knowing what she was planning
“Good to know well the cooks are making you something” Celestia said to Twilight
“Okay” Replied Twilight wondering what it would be.
“Oh Twilight you need to stay calm and not go crazy over every little thing” Rarity said putting a bib on Twilight
“I should have seen this coming.” Said Twilight as she lifted her neck to let Rarity put it on easier.
“That’s a good filly, Twilight.” Cooed Cadence ruffling Twilight’s mane.
“Dinner is served Miladies.” Said one of the server ponies coming out and placing all the dishes in front of the proper pony, and lifting up the serving dome on each
“What is this stuff?” Question Twilight with a look on her face
“Oh just some peas” Luna smiled as she put a spoon into the blue bowl, and levitated it towards Twilight. “Now open up here comes the choo choo.” Luna giggled as Twilight opened her mouth and closed it around to spoon.
“I guess it’s not too bad.” winced Twilight at the bitter taste but remembering her promise to be good
It could have been worse Though Twilight remembering some of the horrible things Night Light and Twilight Velvet had fed her as a child.
“Can i get something to drink at least” Twilight asking in almost a whining voice
“Ya some milk” Rainbow Dash said after that she had hot soup dumped on her lap
“ I don’t think so Rainbow Dash.” Smirked Twilight as Rainbow cleaned her self off and inspected the burn
“THE HELL TWILIGHT WHY WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!” Rainbow Dash yelled getting in Twilight’s face.
“Remember Dash it’s all magical outbursts” Rarity said
“Yeah well that kid’s going to kill me by the time this is done.” Growled Rainbow Dash
“Well dont tease her then” Cadence said
“Fine!” Rainbow huffed
“As for you Twilight you dont need to hurt your friends” Cadence scolded
“Sorry.” Replied Twilight “I hope you do know though that i would not hurt you guys on purpose right?” Asked Twilight tears starting to well in her eyes.
“And now she is going to cry again” Rainbow Dash said
“ I can’t help it!” Wailed Twilight.
“Come on Twilight calm down” Cadence said rubbing the fillies back”
“Yes come on Twilight, you’re yummy food is going to get cold.” Luna cooed trying to help but only making it worse
“No, It’s icky i don’t want it!” Twilight said throwing it with a single hoof
“Oh no she’s regressed mentally again.” Sighed Celestia
“Just try and get her calm then now everypony just try and calm her down” Cadence said
“Hey Twilight look at the funny face.” Said Fluttershy sticking her tongue out at Twilight and waving her head back and forth.
“I think that is making it worse hey aunt celestia maybe we should just let her cry how about that” Cadence suggested.
“That’s probably the best solution for right now, Twilight Sparkle isn’t going to listen to us while she’s like this.” Replied Celestia rubbing her forehead a bit.
“Well then i’ll take her back to the nursery, and let her cry it out; she’ll more than likely just fall back asleep.” Said Cadence unstrapping the struggling Twilight out of the high chair, and trying to leave the dining room.
“Why is she doing this now she never acted this way when i watched her” Cadence said trying to conceal the filly
“It’s the magical energy it’s going to make her lash out when it takes control of her mind like this.” Said Celestia turning to Luna who just nodded remembering the last time she had to take care of foal Celestia.
“Ok so how long do they last i hate seeing a foal super-sad face” Pinkie asked
“As i said before i don’t know, but i can only assume this one with be longer than the last as this is the second time it’s happened, but i could be wrong as this was not as mentally taxing on her mind, as last time she fainted, this time it was simply that we upset her.” Celestia explained.
“Wait don’t leave me in here” wailed Twilight
“I’m sorry Twilight, but you need a time out, you’ll be fine i promise.” Said Cadence as she lowered Twilight into the crib.
“Pwease, no wanna be awone!” Bawled Twilight reaching out for Cadence as she left.
“This is not good” Celestia said worriedly
“This is breaking my heart Aunt Celestia. I don’t like doing this to her!” Snapped Cadence as she stormed off “I need to be alone for awhile.”
“Tia can’t we just go in there and hold her or something” Luna asked
“Perhaps, but who knows what it would do to her, if we treat her completely like a foal in this state.” Replied Celestia as she peeked into the room seeing Twilight sitting in the crib bawling.
“Damn it, I’’m her teacher i’m suppose to take care of her why did this happen!” Celestia screamed.
“I don't know but i am about to go in there and get her” Pinkie said
“Do it.” Said Celestia as she took a few deep breaths. She didn’t like to fail, and to see Twilight in this condition made her feel as if she did. Couldn’t i have warned her about the dangers of such unpredictable magic. I mean i know i wouldn’t have stopped her, not Twilight she loves magic too much to not want to try and find all she could do with it, but maybe she would have been more careful and this wouldn’t of happened.
“Tia, Are you going to be okay?” Luna asked as the crying had stopped a while ago
“I’ll be fine Luna. We need to take care of the Sunset and Moonrise now.” Replied Celestia heading for toward the grand balcony Luna following close behind her.
“Wait is she calm now?” Asked Cadence as she entered the nursery and seen Pinkie rocking Twilight in her hooves.
“Yeah, She fell asleep a little while ago.” Whispered Pinkie careful not to wake the sleeping foal
“I hope their are no regressions worse than that” Cadence said with little hope in her voice.
“Me too, I’m the element of laughter, to hear anyone upset or crying feels wrong to me, but when it’s one of my best friends it hurts even worse, But i don’t imagine that i could ever feel as badly as you do about this Princess, I mean you helped raise her. I don’t imagine other then her family anyone is closer to her then you.” Pinkie said turning to Cadence and handing Twilight to her.
“Well lets hope when she wakes up that she is going to be normal” Celestia said
“Yes let’s” Whispered Cadence as she put Twilight in the crib.
“But i must say unfortunately” Celestia gulped
“What?” Said Cadence turning to her Aunt
“But if this keeps up i fear me may lose her” Celestia said
“Yes, i’m afraid of that too.” Replied Cadence “Should i let Shining Armor know?” Asked Cadence hugging Celestia.
“Not just yet i think if all of us wait we could see if it fixes itself” celestia said rubbing Cadence’s back slowly. “I’m proud of you you know. You’re not even an Alicorn and you’re keeping your emotions in check quite well.” ”She added while the purple foal was stirring.
“It seems like she’s waking up.” Cadence Said
“Nnnnnnnng where are we?” Twilight asked not bothering to open her eyes.\
“We’re in the nursery hun, We went ahead and put you down for a nap as you got quite fussy.”Replied Celestia coming up to the side of the crib.
“Was not getting fussy” Twilight argued
“It would seem that she’s not quite back all the way, be careful what you say.” Celestia whispered In Cadence ear.
“Yes you were dont try and argue” Cadence replied
“No i was not fussy” Twilight kept going while Cadence decided to let her win
“Okay, okay you weren’t but you did make quite a mess on our nice clean jumper, so it’s nice for good little fillies to have a bath.” Cadence said picking Twilight up
“No no no no no no no no i don’t need a bath” Twilight said struggling to get out of Cadences grasp
“Twilight, we can do this the easy and fun way or the hard way.” Said Cadence
“I am not taking a bath” Twilight said getting out of Cadences grasp and running
“Oh no you don’t little filly.” Said Celestia as she caught Twilight in her aura.
“Let me go, I don’t want a bath!” Pouted Twilight struggling futilely against Celestia’s magic.
“Lets just get it over with then you can play” Cadence said
“Fine, but only if i get to play with something in the tub.” Pouted Twilight.
“That sounds fair to me” Celestia added
“Okay.” Agreed Cadence levitating some toys, and following with Twilight
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
After the bath was over Cadence was carrying what looked like a wad of towels back to the nursery
“Hey where is Twilight?” Pinkie asked as a purple foal’s head popped out of the towles
“Im here” twilight said
“Aww you look so cute like that!” Giggled Pinkie as she messed up Twilight’s wet mane getting water everywhere.
“I am NOT cute” Twilight said with a pout
“Okay, okay.” Pinkie aquised
“Ok now who wants to take her and put her in a diaper and a new sleeper” Cadence asked
“Ohh ohh me, me!” Squealed Pinkie bouncing up and down as she took Twilight a laid her down
“You know what after that bath you can do it little miss dump water on me” Celestia said
“Wait she did that Oh Twilight you silly filly” Giggled Pinkie as she put the new diaper on Twilight and slid her into a new jumper this one purple like her coat.
“ You promised i could play i took a bath.” Said Twilight when Pinkie put her down on the floor.
“That you did Cadence” Celestia said looking at her niece
“Fine.” Huffed Cadence
“Yay come on lets go” Twilight said running for the door trying to open it.
“You’re a bit too short for that yet.” Giggled Celestia as she opened the door.
“Well come on you said i could play lets go to the gardens” Twilight said jumping for the door
“And who said youth was wasted on the young?” Laughed Celestia as she watched Twilight dash off in the direction of the gardens.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“No she had mud all over her now Aunt Celestia why did you let her do this” Cadence asked a little annoyed.
“”Maybe i just wanted to watch her have some fun goodness knows when she was a real filly she never did, all she did was study.” Laughed Celestia as the watched the mud-covered filly climb all over Discord.
“Take that you meany-pants.” Giggled Twilight as she smeared mud all over Discord’s face.
“Well i hope their is a spell to clean her and that jumper off because i won’t do it” Cadence said
“Earth and water are easily separated, then all i’d have to do is a heat flash spell and boom clean and dry again.
“Ok then that works but really why are we not trying to keep her in the right mind set” Cadence asked
“I don’t know, i guess just deep down i wanted to see her play for real just this once.” Replied Celestia
“Well either way its too late for a foal to be outside” Cadence said “So have fun trying to get her inside” She added with a smirk as she headed inside.
“Cadence don’t you leave me out here like this!” Screamed Celestia as Cadence began laughing.
“Wait are we going in now?” Twilight asked
“Yes Twilight it is time to go inside now come on” Celestia said grabbing the foal in her magic getting rid of all the mud
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“ Did you have fun Twilight?” Asked Luna as Celestia had gone off to get ready for bed once they had gotten inside leaving the filly with Luna until she would return.
“Yes i did pwincess” Twilight said making everypony in the room freeze
“Well it’s time for all little fillies to go to bed, we’ll see you in the morning.” Said Rarity as they all shared a worried look.
“Awww do i gota” Twilight whined
“Hey ya’ll look at it this way maybe when ya’ll wake up you’ll be back to normal.” Said Applejack trying to get sleep to sound appealing while the filly cocked an eyebrow at her
“Good night little one we’ll see you soon okay.” Said Luna as she kissed the quickly fading filly on the forehead and closing the door.
“What does this mean!” Luna asked worriedly “she is talking like a foal now oh no not good Tia what are we going to do what id she is turning into a foal” Luna asked again
“Calm down sister she will most likely be fine if she is this way tomorrow it will not be as bad if you remember” Celestia said
“Fine, i guess that’s all we really can do.” Sighed Luna as the others began to yawn.
“It;s getting quite late, I will have the servants show you to your room’s
“Good night Princesses.” Said the group
“Good night My little ponies.” Replied Luna and Celestia as they were lead away.

A study in humility, Twilight’s week as a foal
Chapter 3
Twilight Sparkle’s Day Off.
Cadence walked into the nursery to see Twilight wide awake and sitting up in the crib when she saw Cadence she smiled big.
“Pwincess.” Twilight cooed while Cadence walked in there.
“Good morning Twilight.” Replied Cadence so as to not worry her but she was panicking inside.
Oh no she’s still regressed, i’ll just have to act like nothing’s wrong though, so that it won’t hurt her more. Damn it Aunt Celestia, I was afraid this would happen after what happened in the gardens last night.
“Whewe is Pwincess Cwlwstia?” Twilight asked.
“Aunt Celestia is raising the sun, so that all the ponies can wake up.” Replied Cadence
“Otay, Can i get something to eat pwease?” Asked Twilight
“Sure.” Smiled Cadence while Twilight was shifting around uncomfortably.
“I wuv you Cadence.” Twilight said while still shifting.
“Twilight are you ok?” asked Cadence
“Uh-hu.” Replied Twilight as she looked up at Cadence.
“Aww what's wrong does somepony need changed?” Cadence cooed to the foal.
Twilight nodded and continued to shift around.
“Well come on lets get you cleaned up then fed.” Replied Cadence as she placed Twilight on the changing table and cleaned her nether regions placing a new diaper on her. “There is that better?” Cadence said picking the foal up and taking her to the kitchen.
“Yep, After i eat can i go pway again?” Asked Twilight looking at Cadence with puppy eyes.
“We will see.” Cadence said entering the dining hall seeing everypony shocked at the way Twilight was talking Celestia and Luna then shared a look.
“Yes that sounds good but Fluttershy might i ask you get Twilight a bottle?” Cadence said sitting down.
“Oh umm of course i will.” Fluttershy said in a quiet tone running off to do as Cadence asked.
“So how did you sleep?” Asked Luna as Twilight cuddled with Cadence.
“Oh swept weww prwincess.” Twilight said
“That’s good. It’s very important You get lots of sleep.” Replied Luna smiling at the purple foal.
“Ok i got her a bottle of milk.” Fluttershy said giving the bottle to Cadence.
“Yey!” Cheered Twilight as Cadence lowed the amber nipple to her mouth.while she began to suckle.
“That’s a good girl, drink it all up.” Smiled Cadence as the feelings of wanting a foal of her own returned.
“You know Princess, i think that the sleepers you guys have here are adorable, but i would really like to see what Twilight would look like in some of my designs.” Said Rarity as she studied the clothes Twilight was wearing.
“Are they warm enough Rarity, we don’t want her to get too cold?” Asked Luna knowing first hand just how cold nights in Canterlot could be.
“Oh i was only thinking about daytime clothes Princess, and as it’s summer; I don’t think we have to worry about her being too hot, but be cautious not to overheat her. Replied Rarity
“ Which is why we should be keeping her inside during the day.” Reasoned Luna.
“But It’s not good to keep a filly cooped up Aunt Luna, she’ll become even worse if we try to keep her shut in.
“Well if you can make something before they day is over then you girls can take her out” Celestia said
“Lovely, i’ll get started right away.” Replied Rarity as Twilight had finished the bottle.
“Do you need me to burp you Twilight?” Asked Cadence as she put the bottle on the table.
“No i am not a baby.” Twilight said with a pout.
“Okay.” Smiled Cadence It would seem that it’s starting to wear off. Good i would hate to see Twilight lose everything because we were too stupid to be careful with her.
“Cadence?” Twilight said poking her.
Cadence shook her head as Twilight poked her. “Sorry Twilight just got lost in though there.
“Who is my mommy and daddy?” Twilight asked making everypony freeze as if time its self had froze
“Well Twilight your parents are the owners of the book shop here in Canterlot, and your big brother is the captain of the royal guard.” Replied Celestia having recovered first.
“Can we go see him pwease?” Twilight asked
“No sorry you can’t he is busy a lot of the time.” Cadence lied.
“But i want to.” Begged Twilight
“I am sorry but the answer is no Twilight do i need to put you in another time out?” Cadence warned her
“No i’m sorry.” Replied Twilight.
“It’s okay Twilight it’s just that he has a big job to do, and he can’t just put off everything to see you.”Celestia said
Nice save Aunt Celestia. It’d be impossible to get Shining to do anything if he knew that his LSBFF was in danger. He can’t know about this, i just can only hope he doesn’t find out. Thought Cadence as Twilight pulled at her mane.
“Ouch what is it Twilight we don’t pull hair you know better then that!” Cadence scolded
“ But you told me i could play after breakfast.” Replied Twilight
“Well i need you to wait a little bit longer ok.” Asked Cadence
“Otay i will wait.” Twilight said huffing a little bit.
“So what’s next?” Ask Luna as breakfast was done.
“I got it finished” Rarity said running in the dining hall with a dress that looked like a copy of the dress that Twilight had wore to the gala a few months ago.
“Who is that fowr?” Twilight asked
“Why it’s for you sweetheart.” Smiled Rarity as she let Twilight see the dress completely.
“Wait when do i havft to wear it?” Twilight asked eyeing the dress.
“We’ll go ahead and put you in it now, It’s far too hot to allow you to run around in that fuzzy outfit when it’s the daytime.” Explained Rarity while taking the jumper off Twilight and putting the dress on her.
“Wow its really comfy!” Twilight said amazed.
“ I’m thrilled to hear you like it Twilight. I made this dress with you specifically in mind, so it’s all yours.” Rarity said while the foal bounced around
“Thank you Warity, i really like it!” Exclaimed Twilight as she hugged Rarity.
“ Well now shall we go see what there is to do out and about?” Asked Rarity smiling at the little filly spinning around in the dress.
“It’s there a park?” Asked Twilight looking at Celestia and smiling.
“No hun, there’s not too many foals that run around in Canterlot, so i never had one built.” Lied Celestia Just letting her play in the gardens last night worsened her condition, i can only imagine how worse she would get if she were to play with others.
“Oh well what are we going to do then?” Asked Twilight a little put out that there wasn’t anywhere to play.
“Well there’s lots to see in Canterlot so how about we just walk around until we get tired.” Suggested Cadence picking up Twilight so that they could go get the stroller.
“Otay.” Replied Twilight as they left the room to get ready for their day out.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“Wow it’s pretty here!” Exclaimed Twilight as they walked down the street of upper Canterlot in the art district of the city.
“Indeed, Canterlot has of of the most talented artist, sculptors, and dressmakers in Equestria, even if the best one resides in Ponyville.” Smiled Celestia as she entertaned Twilight with little bits of infomation on everything on the city. It’s rather amusing i’m doing this to a mare that in her right mind more than likely knows just as much about this city as me. Laughed Celestia to herself. It was then that Twilight noticed the ice cream stall next to the Musuem.
“Ohh ice cream. Can i, can i pwease; i’ve been a good filly.” Said Twilight as they got closer and closer.
“Sure i don’t see why not.” Said Cadence going to the ice cream stand while everyone else sat down, and coming back with ice cream for everyone.
“Yey!” Squealed Twilight about to eat it when Rarity levitated the cone away from her.
“Hey, That’s mine.” Cried Twilight as Rarity put a bib on her and returned the ice cream.
“”You don’t want to ruin your pretty dress, right?” Asked Rarity smiling as it dawned on the filly.
“Oh thank you Warity, no i no wanna get ice cweam all over my dress.” Giggled the filly as she dug into the ice cream making a mess.
“Aww Twilight you got it in your mane you silly filly.” Giggled Pinkie as she watched the filly inhaling the soft cream.
“She sure does love ice cream.” Said Rainbow Dash as she bit into the cone having finished before everybody else except Twilight while Cadence wiped Twilight’s face off.
“Hey no wiping my face.” Twilight whined
“But you made such a mess i felt like we needed to clean you up.” Cadence said
“ Well i liked it.” Huffed Twilight.
“Well you could have gotten ice cream on your dress.” Rarity added
“ That’s why you put the bib on me though.” Argued Twilight
“Well we should go to the museum now it ought to be fun.” Said Celestia trying to calm everyone down.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“Ohh pretty colors.” Cooed Twilight as she stared at a mural on one of the wall as they past by it.
“Indeed there is an amazing amount of artwork here Twilight Sparkle, and we going to see it all.” Smiled Celestia as Twilight smiled so wide it looked like her face would split. Good to see she hasn’t lost her love for art and knowledge. Thought Celestia.
“Oh yes i remember half of these when they were still being painted” Said Luna with a smirk
“And the other half were while you were gone, but you’ll see them all today.” Smiled Celestia. Suddenly Twilight began to cry.
“Let me guess.” Said Cadence knowing what was most likely wrong. “I’ll get her cleaned up and catch up with you guys okay.” Said Cadence as she left to take care of Twilight.
“ I wonder when she’ll come back to us?” Asked Rarity as the gathered around a centuries old vase depicting Celestia at one of the first Summer sun celebrations.
“Well it would seem that when she takes enough time to think about what she’s going to say she’s coming out of it, but when she gets upset or excited she talks like a foal, so i’m thinking it won’t be long soon for her mind to be back to normal.” Explained Celestia
“Well either way i do hope she turns back to normal soon” Rarity said “Well normal more or less” she added.
“Indeed as do i.” Replied Celestia turning away from the vase having had enough of it.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“Cadence am i ever going to return to normal?” Said Twilight sounding slightly depressed.
“Well you’re able to talk normally for right now which suggest your mind is returned from this most recent regression so if you’re talking physically then yes i image you will, it’ll just take time.
“I hate being a foal i regress at random and it is driving me crazy” Twilight said almost in another panic spell
“ Listen hun. I understand where youre coming from, while you may be a smart and talented pony without an ego it must be tearing you apart to be a foal who can’t even decide when she goes to the bathroom. It must be madding.
“Why the hell would you remind me about that?” asked Twilight earning a glare from Cadence.
“Sorry wasn’t thinking.” Said Cadence as she finish cleaning Twilight and slid her dress back on her.
“ I remember what i said this morning though, and it was true; I do love you Cadence, I couldn't of asked for a better sister. Thanks for taking care of me.” Twilight said as Cadence pulled her into a hug
“It’s no problem i’ll always be here for you, me and Shining.” Replied Cadence.
“By the way thanks for stopping me from seeing him earlier, i couldn’t hurt him like this. I mean i know that he loves me, but he’d drive himself insane trying to protect me now. I mean sometime i wonder if you become more overprotective as you get older.” Chuckled Twilight as she remembered how protective Shining Armor was of her when they were kids.
“Don’t worry he won’t know about your current state.” Cadence helped ease the foal.
“ Do you think you two will ever have a child?” Asked Twilight smiling.
“I’m not sure Twilight. I mean you know we both love children, but with the duties of a princess i wouldn't always be able to be there for a foal when they would need me, same with Shining, He’s on call twenty four-seven it’d be impossible for him to be a good father no matter how he tried, and you know that he’d try.” Explained Cadence sadly.
“Well then i guess at least something good came out of this.” Sighed Twilight as she curled up in cadence’s grasp as she lowered the filly to floor so they could rejoin the others.
“Well lets go then.” Cadence said nudging the foal out the door.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“Look there she is.” Fluttershy said seeing Twilight and Cadence walking up to them.
“Feeling better now Twilight Sparkle?” Asked Luna as the filly began to enjoy the artwork.
“Yeah, i’m back for now, Thanks for worrying about me.” Replied Twilight
“ So, are you hungry?” Asked Celestia as she looked at the clock noticing it was noon.
“Yes i am but i know i am going to get some crap i got the other day” Twilight said while her ear’s flattened
“I’m sorry about this Twilight, I really am.” Said Celestia as she lead the group outside the Museum and out to one of the restaurants
“You’re sorry for what?” Twilight asked as they crossed the street.
“That this ever happened to you, had i thought they was a chance this could of happened i would have warned you about it, but i never really thought about it, even if you are the element of magic, you’re still a mortal Unicorn, and i should have thought enough ahead that if it could happen to me, it could to you as well.” Explained Celestia.
“Well can we just get some food i am starving” Twilight said while being put back in the stroller
“Of course.” Replied Celestia as she opened the door to the Restaurant and the others went inside.
The waiter came to them after a few seconds bringing a high chair with her while Twilight just sighed as Celestia lifted her in the high chair.
“So what can i get you fine mares to drink. we have quite a fine selection of wines or juices available but i can go ahead and get some juice for the little one here” The waiter said
“Thank you, that would be fine, and a few more minutes for the rest of us to decide.” Answered Luna as she levitated her menu to eye level.
A few minutes later the waitress returned with a bottle of grape juice.
“Grape juice for the cute little purple filly.” Smiled The waitress as she pulled out a small notepad and quill. “So are we ready?”
“Oh i think a salad sounds just perfect right now” Rarity said
“Can i have a bowl of the rose petal soup please, If you don’t mind.” Said Fluttershy as she hid behind the menu.
“I think i will just have a simple salad my self” said Celestia while everypony else ordered their food.
“Ok, I’ll be out as soon as i can with your orders ladies.But what can i get for the little one” The waiter inquired
“Do you have a foal’s menu?” Asked Celestia as Twilight glared at her.
“Yes, i’ll go and get it and have the chef’s start your orders while you decide.
A few minutes later they had placed Twilight’s order for a small plate of pasta bits and tomato sauce, and they were waiting for their food.
“ So other than your little problem how are you enjoying your visit, Twilight?” Asked Celestia turning to the filly as she put down her grape juice.
“ It could be better.” Said Twilight simply, not wanting to draw attention to the fact that there was a filly in the Restaurant that had the mental state of an older child.
“Yes i know” said Celestia
“Well is there anything else you want to do today?” Asked Cadence
“Do you remember that place i showed you when i was little?” Asked Twilight
“The great tree that was planted here when Canterlot was built” Cadence inquired
“Yes, that’s the one. I’ve always felt close to that tree for some reason.” Twilight Explained when everypony but Celestia and Cadence looked at her funny.
“Ok ladies i have your food” the waiter said levitating everypony’s food in front of them
“Thank you.” Replied everyone and they began to eat.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“ A tree, over nine hundred years old. It’s quite beautiful. A testament to just how strong nature truly is.” Sighed Twilight as she rested her head against it’s base
“Yes it is smarty pants” Cadence said poking Twilight in the ribs
“Jibe me if you must, but it is how i feel.” Twilight replied.
“Well you are resting your head on that tree does somepony need a nap” Cadence cooed to Twilight
“Yeah, i’m starting to feel tired.” Replied Twilight as she closed her eyes a little
“Well how about we get a little pony down for a nap” Celestia said levitating Twilight and heading to the castle.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“She always went to that tree when we fought.” Said Cadence as Celestia lowered Twilight into the crib and covered her up.
“It must be her clam place we all know how she over reacts about the littlest things” whispered Celestia.
“Yeah. I always thought it was cute when she was little, but now it’s a little scary to see her so paranoid.” Sighed Cadence.
“She’s freaky.” Said Rainbow Dash remembering Twilight’s face when she had come to the picnic and looked at Rainbow as she lied down.
“Rainbow we know this” Rarity said
“Yeah, you know you don’t need to say mean things like that even if their true. I mean She really was scared that day.” Added Pinkie as the eight of them gathered around the sleeping ponies crib as the reminisced.
“I have figured something out when she is upset she regresses that is it she gets upset she regresses and when she does regress when she gets excited or sad about something she starts talking like a foal” said Celestia
“ I think i noticed that too.” Said Cadence. “Like with the ice cream.”
“So if i told her she will never return to normal she would be a foal” Rainbow Dash asked with a grin creeping across her muzzle
“Do it and pay the price Rainbow Dash.” Said Celestia no mirth in her voice
“What she is a lot nicer when she thinks she is a foal” Rainbow said
“Does it look like i care?” Asked Celestia glaring at Rainbow Dash. “ I will not allow you to destroy Twilight Sparkle’s life just because you think she’s nicer as a foal. Well think of it this way If Twilight Sparkle never recovers due to your actions kiss our dreams of joining the Wonderbolts goodbye because you’ll be joining her in eternal foalhood.
“Wait what does that even mean?” Rainbow asked slightly confused
“It means you cause her to become a foal permanently i will turn you into one as well, and don’t think i can’t do it either, you have no idea what i’m truly capable of when i’m upset.
“Either way something will set her off again.” Rainbow said
“Ya know Rainbow ah value honesty, but sometimes it’s better to keep ya yap shut.” Said AppleJack as Celestia stormed out off the nursery Luna following right behind her.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“ She’s cute when she’s sleeping isn’t she.” Pinkie said as she and Rarity watched over Twilight as she was sleeping once everything had calmed down.
“Indeed, now i kinda wish we would have met each other much sooner than we did. I imagine it would have been nice having more friends as a child. I mean I had Sweetie belle, AppleJack had Big mac and Applebloom, you your sisters, and Twilight, Shining Armor, but other than each other it would seem that none of us really had any other friends.” Rarity said.
“Yeah, and it would have been fun growing up together, so many more parties.” Whispered Pinkie excitedly trying to keep from laughing as it would wake up Twilight.
“But wouldn’t that of kept us from getting our Cutie marks, i mean if we knew each other back then, then Rainbow Dash wouldn’t have done the Sonic rainboom that allowed us to get them in the first place?” Twilight asked having woken up from her nap.
“ I imagine that we would have found a way Twilight, Fate has a way of working around things like that.” Rarity replied having picked up Twilight from the crib and put her down on the floor.
“ Being a mare of science i don’t really believe in Fate, but i guess you’re right i mean they say that the Cutie marks all have something to do with what a pony was born to do, and there’s no doubting there is truly something special about them.” Said Twilight looking at her flank and starting to tear up a little.
“Hey you’ll get it back hun, no doubt about it, With everything you’ve done there’s no pony out there who deserves a Cutie mark in magic more than you do. Rarity said wiping the tears away.
“Thanks Rarity, I don’t know what i would do without you girls, we’ll always be friends.” Twilight said running up Rarity and then Pinkie hugging both of them.
“ Hey of course we’ll always be friends you silly filly, nothing’s ever going to split us apart.”
“No matter what even and i am saying this even if you have to grow up again nothing will ever split us up” Rainbow Dash added while everypony else nodded
“Thanks everypony” said Twilight
“You don’t have to say thank you Twilight, that’s what friends are for.” Replied Rainbow Dash as she picked up the foal.
“Umm Rainbow Dash could we go to the Kitchens i’m a little thirsty, and could go for some cold water.” Said Twilight as Rainbow Dash held her
“I think we could all go for a glass of water” Celestia said having joined them.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
As they arrived in the Kitchen Rainbow Dash sat Twilight down on the floor. “Be right back Twilight.” Called out Rainbow as she went to find a bottle.
“So Twilight just wondering have you had any dreams yet?” Asked Celestia curiously.
“Like how do you mean, Princess?” Asked Twilight not really understand where Celestia was coming from with all of this.
“ Just dreams. I’m curious is all.” Replied Celestia with a smile as Rainbow Dash returned with water of everyone.
“No not anything interesting” Said Twilight beginning to drink her water.
“Well i guess it’s a good sign you’re dreams haven’t changed, but i’m a little disappointed.” Said Celestia smiling a little.
“What for?” Asked Twilight a little put out that Celestia had hoped the regression would affect her dreams.
“Well they say that a foal’s dreams are so much more innocent. I would kinda like to see that, you at the most purest.”
“Well i guess you could say that is true” said Twilight with a big grin
Suddenly Twilight grimaced and a strong smell came from her diapers.
“It’s becoming less and less noticeable as this goes along. I’m really hoping that i don’t have to go through potty training if i return to normal. Sighed Twilight unamused.
“You won’t have to Twilight i know for a fact” Celestia said as she picked her up.
“Well that’s a comfortable thought.” Replied Twilight smiling.
“Yes we all know that Twilight” Cadence said while taking her from Celestia
“So back to the nursery?” Asked Twilight as her diaper began to sag
“Yes we need to get you changed because you are starting to stink now” said Cadence as she placed Twilight on the changing table and took the messy diaper off her
“Oh like you didn't when you were a foal.” Smirked Twilight laughing
“I never said that did i now” said Cadence as she put a clean diaper on the foal putting a bright pink jumper on her.
“How about we get ready for bed huh?” Asked Cadence as she finished with the jumper and put Twilight’s dress in the laundry.
“Wait what now its not even that late out” Twilight protested
“But foals need their sleep, and you got to stay up quite a bit past Sunset last night.”
“Ya but i am not really a foal so why do i have to go to bed right now?” Asked Twilight while she was being put in the crib
“Hmm.” Hummed Cadence as she feigned thinking. “ You can’t use the bathroom, your small, and sometimes you don’t speak in complete sentences. Sounds like a foal to me.” Laughed Cadence.
“Ya well i am not a foal so i don’t think i should have to go to bed what do you think princess?” Asked Twilight as she looked at Celestia.
“ I really don’t see any harm in it Cadence as she said she’s not really a foal, so sunset isn’t all that late for her.” Replied Celestia seeing where this was going and trying to avoid another regression.
“Yes but Aunt Celestia she is technically a foal i mean come on just look she has no teeth she can't use the bathroom like i said before sounds like a foal to me” Cadence said pointing out all of the features
“It would seem that we’re at a consensus, so in this case Luna will have to be the deciding factor. We’ll go with whatever she decides as it would be majority.
“Well i agree with you both Tia she is not really a foal but Cadence does have a point” Said Luna as she was thinking
“But i don’t want t.” Began Twilight.Only to be cut off
“Hush now Twilight big ponies are talking.” Said Cadence.
“I am a big pony.” Mumbled Twilight starting to become upset.
“Ok i see you both have a valid point but i agree with Cadence” Said Luna as she gave her answer.
“Ok problem solved, Twilight, bed.” Ordered Cadence.
“No, don’t wanna.” huffed Twilight.
“Yes Twilight bedtime” said Celestia glaring at the foal
“No,no,no!” Screamed The filly stomping up and down.
“Okay i’m nipping this in the bud.” Groaned Celestia as she cast a sleeping spell on Twilight and turned on Cadence “See why i wanted to let her stay up?” Finished Celestia.
“I’m only putting what’s best for her first Aunt Celestia.” Replied Cadence coolly
“I’m starting to think that you think that she your Daughter and she’s not Cadence.” Rebuked Celestia
“No, but i was and as long as she’s like this am her foalsitter.” Snapped Cadence.
“ Yes, but you were never this controlling even when she really was a foal!” Said Celestia
“Shining would agree with me.” Replied Cadence a little hurt that Celestia had called her controlling.
“ Keep him out of this, for Canterlot’s safety and his own he cannot be allowed to know about this.
“Well what about Twilight’s parents.”
“That isn’t an option either, if we allowed them to know about Twilight Shining Armor would inevitablely find out as well. You’re starting to break down Cadence, and if you’re going to throw a fit over something as childish as being told the truth then maybe it’s time you spent some time as a foal as well.” Replied Celestia.
“You wouldn’t dare.” Hissed Cadence.
“Try me my dearest niece, I sent Luna to the moon for a thousand years to learn a lesson, I wouldn’t be above turning you into a foal for some time to teach you one.” Said Celestia staring Cadence down.
“Tia, That’s going a little bit far don’t you think?” Asked Luna as she watched the argument slowly grown out of control. “I mean Cadence simply cares about what happens to Twilight Sparkle.”
“Yes, but she’s unwilling to compromise with Twilight, and as i said before the more we upset her the more we risk losing her.” Spat Celestia turning on Luna now.
“Tia, You said that Cadence was breaking down, but i think it’s you. You’re letting your guilt over Twilight’s accident consume you, and maybe it would be best that we go take care of our duties, and you get an early night as well.” Said Luna placing a wing over Celestia.
“Don’t tell me what to do, Luna. I am the elder sister here!” Snapped Celestia batting away the wing.
“Tia, Calm down, you’re going too far, just because i’m younger than you doesn’t me i can’t be right when you’re wrong.
“Well maybe you want to spend time as a foal Luna” Celestia threatened
“No, but perhaps it’s time for you to again, i mean if you’re going to feel so guilty about Twilight why not share in her fate.” Luna threatened in kind.
“Ok now both of you shut up!” Rainbow Dash said
“Yes, let’s all just take a couple of deep breaths and calm down.” Rarity added.petting Fluttershy’s mane as the yellow Pegasus had begun to hid in the corner as the royal shouting match happened.
“How would all of you like to be foals” Luna threatened them
“Indeed, You have quite a lot of gall trying to tell us what to do.” Celestia agreed.
“ We’re just trying to calm everypony down, i mean all this shouting, it can’t be good for Twilight.” Said Pinkie her mane having gone straight, while the foal was waking up.
“ Too much noise.” Wailed Twilight not liking all the shouting.
“See what you did” Celestia and Luna shouted to each other at the same time “I did!” They Replied to the other.
“ENOUGH!” Screamed Fluttershy having had enough of it. “You two obviously need to have a break from each other.” Fluttershy said looking at the two Alicorns
“Ya well she started this whole thing” Luna stated
“ I don’t care who started it i’m finishing it!” Snapped Fluttershy
“No loud noises” Twilight was crying and her horn started to glow. Suddenly each and every pony in the room but her was teleported back to their respective rooms.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“ Twilight must have gotten so upset that her magic teleported us away.” Suggested Rarity.
“I think she regressed again” Cadence said having joined the other’s in their room.
“More than likely, but what about the Princesses?” Asked Pinkie worried that something bad would happen if they came together again.
“This happens all the time. Aunt Celestia goes on a power trip, and Aunt Luna still only being a teenager rebels, just give them some time they’ll be fine.
At this everyone looked at her funny.
“Yes didn’t you know Aunt Luna did grow any while she was gone, she was sealed in the moon, not sent, so time didn’t affect her.
“So let me get this right Luna and Celestia start arguing that happens and Twilight is still crying great” Rarity said
“ Yes. This is quite a situation we find ourselves in.” Replied Cadence rubbing her forehead.
“We should go and check on Twilight at any rate.” Said Fluttershy
“Yes we should.” Replied Cadence leading the way back to the nursery.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
As Cadence opened the door to the nursery she noticed that Twilight had gone back to sleep after they had been forced out, however it was restless, she tossed and turned as her little body shook.
“Oh no, she’s having a nightmare, if only Aunt Luna wasn’t so upset right now.” Moaned Cadence as they watched Twilight’s thrashing.
“No, I can’t get out!” Muttered Twilight in her sleep.
“Should we wake her up?” Asked Fluttershy afraid Twilight would hurt herself thrashing so hard.
“ I don’t know, part of me wants to, but if we wake her up who knows how hard it’ll be to get her to go back to sleep, i don’t know as much magic as Aunt Celestia, i don’t know how to put her to sleep via a spell.” Sighed Cadence as she stepped up to the side of the crib.
“Well we got to do something.” Said Rainbow Dash flustered.
“You’re right i guess.” Sighed Cadence picking up Twilight causing her to wake up.
“I, I.” Gasped Twilight breathing hard and starting to struggle.
“It’s okay Twilight, you’re safe now, nothing’s going to hurt you!” Said Cadence trying to hold on to the struggling filly. Suddenly Twilight eyes began to glow white, and an explosion of magic just like her first one at her entrance exam began.
“Twilight,Princess!” Screamed Rainbow as Rarity ordered them all to run.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“Princess we need help!” Screamed Rarity as they reached Celestia’s bedroom.
“What is the meaning of this, It’s past sunset and i’m going to bed as i really don’t wish to see any of you at the moment.” Snapped Celestia as she went to close her door, but Rarity stuck her hoof in the door jam.
“Princess, this is important, Twilight’s had an magical burst and Cadence got caught in the blast, and we don’t know what happened.”
“We need to check on them immediately then, let’s go!” Celestia ordering racing down the hallways worried about her niece and student.
“Uggg Aunt Celestia is that you” Cadence said her vision still blurry
“Yeah, It’s me hun.” Smiled Celestia happy that Cadence was alive.
“Why is everything so big?” Asked Cadence Confused as she was still coming to.
Well.” Began Celestia

A study in humility, Twilight’s week as a foal
Chapter 4
The foalsitter becomes the foalsat. ‘
“WHAT I AM A FOAL NOW!?!” yelled Cadence as she was breathing rapidly
“Yes.” Replied Celestia as she tried to calm the filly pegacorn down.
“So, now we got to take care of two of them?” Asked Rarity
“No this can’t be real i can’t be a foal” Cadence said tearing up a little
“Well the fun had been doubled.” Giggled Pinkie as she checked on Twilight.
“Well looks like my threat was put into action by Twilight” Celestia said
“But how, my magic doesn’t work?” Cried Twilight as Pinkie had brought Twilight back
“Magical discharge darling remember” Said Rarity
“But something like this?” Replied Twilight
“You’re the element of magic hun, i never told you this, but you once changed your parents into plants in a magical outburst exactly like this one during your entrance exam, it’s what made me so sure that you were quite a special Unicorn, so it’s not a surprise that this has happened. Magic is unpredictable when it it’s uncontrolled,and with your raw amounts and the state you’re in it was only a little one this time” Explained Celestia
“SO IS THIS PERMANENT, I MEAN NOW NOT ONLY WILL WE HAVE TO HIDE HIS LITTLE SISTER BUT HIS WIFE!” Wailed Cadence at the top of her little lungs.
“Don’t worry i just sent a letter telling him you had to leave town for your royal duties and i am sending him on a little vacation so it is safe to go outside” Said Celestia rocking her niece
“ So now what do we do?” Asked Fluttershy
“Well we first make sure that we get her everything she need’s now as well.” Replied Celestia as she lied Cadence down of the changing table.
“Well now we have two foal’s to play with now it is two two two times the fun” Exclaimed Pinkie while bouncing”
“Pinkie you shouldn’t do that before Twilight.” Began Celestia before Twilight threw up all over her.
“ Oops.” Giggled Pinkie as she handed Twilight to Rarity and went to clean herself off.
“ Wait this can’t be real i am not a foal Aunt Celestia” Cadence said while wiggling around
“ You can’t escape this Cadence, all we can do it wait for it to wear off.” Explained Celestia as she finished diapering Cadence and put her in a light pink jumper.
“No way take this jumper off me now!” Demanded Cadence
“Sorry, but no, just like Twilight you are now in the body of a foal, and we must keep you warm.” Celestia explained
“How is this even fair to me or Twilight?” Asked Cadence waving her hooves in the air.
“”Life isn’t always fair Cadence, you should know that, but as for Twilight now she has someone to play with.” Replied Celestia.
“No way in Tartarus in i’m i going to run around the castle like a foal, i have some pride as a Princess.” Snapped Cadence
“Not anymore.” Giggled Twilight as noticed the bulge starting to form in the back of Cadence’s jumper. “You’re all messy now.” She finished as Cadence blushed deeply.
“No, I, This can’t be, don’t you laugh at me!” Cried Cadence as Celestia sat her back on the changing table to clean her up. “Well now who was it that said that Twilight couldn’t use the bathroom, had no teeth, and looked like a foal, so she was a foal.” Smiled Celestia finishing up her work. “Well now that applies to you.” Finished Celestia putting Cadence in the crib while Rarity lowered Twilight into it as well.
“ We should let Princess Luna know about this right?” Asked Pinkie having returned from the bathroom.”
“Yes, but can you do that Pinkie, i’m not certain that Luna will listen to anything i say right now. Said Celestia putting both Cadence and Twilight asleep before anything could happen.
“Okie doki loki.” Giggled Pinkie as she galloped down the hall towards the throne room.
“Well we could always have fun with this.” Said Celestia after Pinkie returned with Luna who did not look amused.
“ Well at least i know what my niece looked like as a child now.” Sighed Luna as she couldn’t help but smile at the sight of the two foals sleeping together.
“I wonder if we were that cute when we were foals?” Mused Celestia as she wrapped a wing around Luna. “I’m sorry for earlier Lulu.”
“Me too, Tia.” Said Luna as she reciprocated the action.
“So how long do you think she’ll be a foal?” Asked Rarity as the others joined the Princesses.
“I don’t know how long but maybe we should sleep for the night as it is getting late.” Said Celestia
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“I’m sorry this happened to you Cadence.” Said Twilight as the two of them snuggled a little bit.
“It’s okay Twilight it wasn’t your fault it just happened.” Sighed Cadence leaning over the side of the crib a bit even though she couldn't get out.
“I’m kinda glad though. Now i don’t have to feel so alone in this.
“Twilight you are never alone me and aunt Celestia and Luna and all of your friends are here for you” Said Cadence
“Yes I know that, but what i meant is you didn’t know what i was going though, Well Princess Celestia did,but none of you others.” Explained Twilight as she began to yawn a little.
“I think you're sleepy aren't you Twi” giggled Cadence
“Yeah, aren’t you?” Asked Twilight as she laid back on the pillow.
“Not really, but i can't get out of this crib, so i might as well lay back down.” Replied Cadence as she regained her hold on Twilight.”
“Good Night Sis.” Said Twilight figuring it be kinda cute to say.
“Good night Little sister.” Replied Cadence and the two of them fell asleep.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Celestia walked into the nursery having just raised the Sun and noticed the position that the two of the were in. “Aww how precious!” Cooed Celestia “It would seem that something really good is going to happen because this, i’d bet my bottom bit that by the end of this they’ll be closer than ever.
“Morning Princess” Said Twilight yawning
“Good morning Twilight, be careful though don’t wake up Cadence if you can avoid it.” Said Celestia as the Pink Pegacorn sat up as well.
“Already awake thank you very much” Said Cadence
“A bit cranky this morning.” Giggled Celestia
“More a bit annoyed being awake this early in the morning.” Hissed Cadence
Celestia then began to laugh a little. “Lesson number one Twilight, whether they be a Alicorn or just a Pegacorn never wake a Princess up early, we aren’t morning ponies.”
“I know that Princess Celestia” Said Twilight as she rolled her eyes.
“Well be that as it may it seems like we have two cranky ponies, and they probably need their diapers changed.” Said Luna as entered the room behind Celestia having finished whatever it was she had need to do after setting the moon.”
“I DO NO-”Argued Cadence before she noticed a smell coming from her.
“Told you.” Singsonged Luna as she Levitated Cadance out of the crib. “You take Twilight while i get her.” Finished Luna.
“I am slowly dying inside.” Said Cadence hiding her face in shame.
“Come on hun no different than it was when Tia used to change you back when you really were a foal.” Giggled Luna as she took off the sleeper and changed Cadence. She then slipped Cadence into a mini version of her wedding dress that Rarity had made last night for her before going to sleep.
“I know the feeling Cadence.” Said Twilight
“ I know why you seemed so upset the first time now.” Replied Cadence having been sat on the ground.
“Don’t you look cute.” Cooed Celestia
“I know right, if only we could regress Shining Armor and do this; they’d make such a cute couple.” Giggled Luna putting her hoof in front of the mouth.
“LUNA” shouted Celestia “That is a genius idea i wish i did not send him on that vacation” She added
“Don’t you have some kind of spell that allows you to track him?” Asked Luna
“It’s too dangerous to use” Said Celestia
“Well darn.” Huffed Luna as Twilight and Cadence visibly calmed down
“Well at least you can’t get him back to see me” Said Cadence with relief in her voice
“I always get my best ideas at the wrong times.” Pouted Luna as she snapped a hoof in annoyance.
“Ya well either way you just a dummy Aunt Luna for thinking that” Cadence snapped back
“I know, i’m starting to wonder who’s worse them or Rarity.” Giggled Twilight as she high hoofed Cadence.
“Ok now i think we all need some food” Said Celestia while separating Luna and Cadence
“Food sounds good.” Said Twilight as she started to follow the two Alicorn to the Dining hall
“Indeed, but here a problem we only have one high chair, and if anyone’s get it it’s Twilight.” Giggled Cadence proud of her self for remembering this fact.
“I will get you back for that Cadence” Said Twilight when their was a flash of light “That is how say something like that again and Shining Armor will see this” She added while laughing
“Don’t worry Twilight, She forgets that Luna and i were once foals as well, they may be old but stuff has been well preserved.” Replied Celestia as she made a mental note to remember to use that picture as levrage when Cadance acted up.
“What do you mean by that Princess?” Asked Twilight
“It means that there are two perfectly good high chairs down in the storage, and it would only be too easy to bring them up here.” Explained Celestia a manic gleam in her eye.
“I’m in for it now aren’t i?” Sighed Cadence as Celestia whispered something in Luna’s ear.
“Oh Tia, You are so deliciously evil sometimes.” Laughed Luna as she teleported away.
“What are you planning Aunt Celestia?” Asked Cadence worriedly
“Let’s just say you thought we were as bad as Rarity, well your great Aunt Solar Star was twice as bad as Rarity or we could ever be.” Celestia chuckled
“Ok and what does that have to do with anything” Said Cadence as Luna returned with a box.
“The high chairs are set up Tia.” Smiled Luna as she opened the box.
Inside were some of the most girlish foal clothes you could ever image in stunning white and midnight blue with stars.
“Oh i can’t wait Tia!” Squealed Luna with delight. “After breakfast you know what you two are going to do with us?” Whispered Luna in the two fillies ears.
“Dress up makeovers!” Squeal the Royal pony sisters as they dragged the two fillies into the kitchen.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“Ohhhhh no i am not going to wear that” Protested Cadence
“You don’t have a choice.” Replied Luna as Celestia held Cadence still with her magic. Meanwhile Twilight tried to escape but was also caught in Celestia golden aura.
“Do i have to Princess” Asked Twilight giving a pair of puppy-dog eyes.
“Yes.” Replied Celestia as she slid one of Luna’s old outfits and bonnet on Twilight.
“Why are you putting this on me i did nothing wrong” Said Twilight
“She’s right Tia, she didn’t give us any trouble.” Replied Luna as she slid the pink lacy booties of the outfit on Cadence’s feet
“Aww, but Luna i wanna see Twilight in your old clothes.” Said Celestia pouting a little.
“Fine i guess either way they are stuck like this for a little bit” Said Luna as Cadence began to cry.
“ This isn’t fair i look stupid like this!” She wailed as she tried break Luna’s magical hold on her.
Aw, but Cadence you look so adorable.” Said Celestia as she sat Twilight down.
“I no adowable.” Sobbed Cadence starting to talk in baby talk
“It seems like it’s Cadence’s turn to be a baby.” Said Luna as she started to try and calm Cadence down
“No notta baby, i’m a Pwincess.” Wailed Cadence. “Want Shining Armor!”
“I’m sorry honey, Shining Armor isn’t here.” Luna replied rocking Cadence.
“WANT SHINING ARMOR!” Bawled Cadence beginning to wave her hooves in the air wildly.
“What do i do Tia?” Asked Luna as nothing she did worked to calm the sobbing filly.
“I have an idea.” Said Celestia as she left the room and came back about ten minutes later to Cadence ripping Luna mane out.
“I hope whatever it is you’re planning works out, I don’t know how much more i can take.” Cried Luna at her wit’s end.
“Here hun.” Cooed Celestia as she wrapped Cadence in a blanket from their shared room, and his scent calmed her down instantly.
“Can I have something of my brother’s too?” Asked Twilight as Celestia wrapped her in a blanket as well smiling.
“I knew you would ask, Now how about a nap for the two of you.” Said Celestia as she put a pacifier in each foal’s mouth.
“Yesh.” Said Twilight starting to drift off as she suckled while Cadence had already fallen asleep wrapped in her lover’s blanket.
“Ok good now have a good nap you two” Said Celestia as she put Twilight in the crib.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
A few hours had past since Twilight and Cadence had fallen asleep, Luna and Celestia
“I’m glad that Alicorn’s don’t truly need to sleep.” Said Luna taking a bite out of the croissant she had just buttered.
“Indeed, I’m sorry about this Luna.” Said Celestia as the servents took her plates away, and she stood up.
“Don’t worry about it Tia, I mean i can only imagine how many sleepless nights you had while i was gone.” Said Luna brushing off Celestia’s apology
“Oh trust me you don’t even know” Said Celestia
“Probably don’t want to either.” Chuckled Luna as she finished and came up next to her sister. “So shall we see what the other’s are doing, or should be see If Twilight and Cadence have woken up?” Asked Luna
“Yes let us go and check on them Luna” Said Celestia opening the door and following her sister out of the dining hall.
“You know Luna i sort of had an idea last night.” Said Celestia as the two sister’s walked through the halls towards the guest chambers.
“Oh and what was that Tia?” Asked Luna turning to Celestia but watching where she was going through her peripheral vision.
“There’s always been a part of me that’s thought that Cadence grew up too fast. I mean we don’t really know what happened to her parents, and so i raised her myself, but she always seemed like she was in a rush, and so i think this is a good thing for her and...”
“And what Tia. Don’t tell me you plan on making her transformation permanent?” Gasped Luna
“Of course not Luna, but i was thinking maybe we should give the others the same chance, To see how Twilight Sparkle is feeling, and just maybe have a chance to spend a day in a life that maybe they never got to have because they were too busy trying to grow up.” Explained Celestia.
“Well we really should discuss this with them, I mean they might not want to do it.” Said Luna as they reached the door to the guest room.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Celestia and Luna walked into the nursery to see Twilight and Cadence still asleep while Twilight was gumming Cadence’s wing in her sleep
“They look cute together.” Said Rarity “It’s an intriguing idea, a day as a foal alongside Twilight. Would it make us that much closer, i do wonder.”
“I don’t know but you woke me up.” Said Twilight
“Oh I’m sorry darling.” Said Rarity as she levitated Twilight out of the crib slowly as to not wake Cadence up.
“It’s okay, but who came up with that idea?” Asked Twilight as Rarity handed Twilight over to Celestia.
“I did, i was thinking you looked so happy with having someone be with you in this that i thought i’d ask your friends if they wanted the chance to be foals again for a day, and maybe get a chance to have the childhood that they may have never gotten before, I know Rainbow Dash didn’t.” Smirked Celestia as she turned to the Rainbow maned Pegasus.
“How did you know, I, I’ve never told anyone.” Said Rainbow Dash turning away a bit.
“ Luna isn’t the only one who can visit dreams Rainbow Dash, You dream of saving Scootaloo, and giving her the life you never had.”
“Ya i do want to take the squirt in but i won’t be home everyday when she gets out of school to fly her up to my house.” Said Rainbow
“Indeed, you’re not really ready for all of that yet anyways, You’ll have to get over your parent’s deaths before you can be a good parent anyways.
“I am over their death but as i told you i can not fly her up there when she gets out of school.” said Rainbow getting annoyed
“Okay,okay.” Said Celestia seeing that she was going into something that Rainbow wasn’t quite ready to talk about yet.
“Hey is anypony going to help me out”Asked Cadence
“Oh sorry hun, didn't notice you were awake.” Said Celestia Picking up Cadence and sitting her on the floor.
“Don’t talk me like i am a foal” Pouted Cadence
“Ok, Cadenza.” Laughed Celestia as she knew Cadence hated that name
“Don’t call me that” Said Cadence
“ It would seem like your back with us.” Said Luna
“Me no foal.” Cadence said
“Of course not you’re a big pony.” Giggled Celestia at her niece. “That’s why you’re wearing my foal clothes."
“What’s going on with her?” Asked Twilight
“She’s still slightly regressed Twilight, so she’ll act like this for a little while longer.” Explained Celestia.
“Well that is dumb i think” Said Twilight
“ This affects Cadence in the same way as it does you Twilight, so she’s subject to random mental regression as well.” Said Luna as Twilight stared at Cadence beginning to suck on her hoof.
“ So when she becomes upset she’ll start acting like a foal like me?” Asked Twilight
“Yes, but we don’t think it’ll be as bad with her as it is with you, seeing as how me and Tia think that the magical blast that changed her was just a small amount of the excess magic that is keeping you this way, and so Cadence will change back faster then you will both mentally and physically.” Said Luna explaining her and Celestia’s theory.
“WHAT THAT'S NOT FAIR” Yelled Twilight
“Hey don’t forget that if your friends agree to be regressed you won’t be alone for at least a few days.”
“THAT’S NOT THE POINT, THE POINT IS THAT I GET CHANGED BY MAGIC AND I HAVE TO STAY THIS WAY TILL GOODNESS KNOWS WHEN, AND CANDENCE GETS OFF EASY!” Continued Twilight being to rant and wave her hooves wildly.
“Ok Twilight please calm down” Asked Celestia
“CALM DOWN HOW CAN I CALM DOWM I”M....” Began Twilight before Celestia forced a pacifier in her mouth.
Twilight began to try and spit the pacifier out, but Celestia had enchanted it so she could not, nor could she talk around it.
“Now i just need you calm Twilight please” Said Celestia in a calm tone
Slowly Twilight’s breathing began to slow and Celestia took the pacifier out.
“Sorry.” Said Twilight “I lost my cool there for a minute.”
“It’s okay Twilight it happens to all of us sometimes.” Said Celestia petting the foal’s mane and putting her down.
“So what about food i am starving” said Twilight
“Yes, you two haven’t had anything to eat since breakfast, but instead of going all the way back to the kitchens i think i have a better idea this time.” Said Celestia opening a small mini fridge that the other’s hadn’t noticed before and bring out two bottles of milk.
“Ugh, do we have to?” Asked Twilight as Cadence started to cry in hunger.
“Just grin and bear with it this time Twilight, Cadence needs something now.” Replied Luna as she took one of the bottles and placed it in Cadence’s mouth.
“Fine, i understand.” Said Twilight opening her mouth so that Celestia could feed her.”
“There that wasn’t so bad now was it?” Asked Celestia as Twilight just rolled her eyes
“You know you look really cute when you do that.” Teased Celestia as she put her down on the changing table to check her diaper.
“ You know i only take this from you because i have no choice.” Grumbled Twilight as Cadence was laid next to her.
“Well, i’m taking care of you so i can tease you all i want.” Said Celestia squishing Twilight’s face between her hooves.
“Luna next time she botches a spell let me know so i can get back at her.” Smiled Twilight as Celestia had finished Changing her and had put her back on the floor.
“Well i am not really a foal Princess you know that” Twilight pouted
“I know, but it doesn’t mean i can’t have a little fun with this.” Replied Celestia
“Do you want me to be calm or not” said Twilight
“ Okay, okay. You do have a point there, i’ll stop.” Said Celestia and Twilight Smiled.
“Aww but i want you little cutie pie” Snickered Luna
“ I seem to remember a little nickname Cadence had for Twilight when she was a foal.” Said Celestia turning to Luna.
“You wouldn’t dare.” Hissed Twilight as Luna smiled ear to ear.
“ Oh do tell Tia.” Giggled Luna bouncing on her hoofs a little
“ Twilight Tinkle” Laughed Celestia as Twilight hid her face in shame.
“Oh i remember that.” Said Cadence smiling a bit. “It was back with Twilight was being potty trained and she would end up having an accident in her training pants.
“ Aww did wittle Twilight have trouble learning not to widdle awl over.” Smirked Rainbow as Twilight’s horn began to glow
“SHUT UP RAINBOW DASH I AM NOT A LITTLE FOAL” Twilight yelled tears welling up in her eyes and Rainbow Dash went flying out of the room.
“Damn it, can’t you take a joke!” Snapped Rainbow Dash as she flew back in the room, and put her hoof in Twilight’s face.
“RAINBOW DASH” Yelled Celestia
“Well i’m tired of it, you guys can say almost anything you want, but when i do i end up going flying.” Huffed Rainbow Dash
“YOU SAY THE WRONG THINGS YOU....YOU” Twilight said breaking down in tears and her horn began to glow again and Rainbow began to shrink.
“Wait what’s happening to me!” Exclaimed Rainbow Dash her voice going up a few octaves and her Cutie mark disappeared.
“Well i can’t say i did not warn you.” Celestia said
“But i don’t want.” Began Rainbow Dash.
“Though, You kept teasing her, and now you’re paying the price. The spell she’s casting is reversible, but you know what i’m not going to do it until you’ve learned a lesson Rainbow Dash.” Celestia cut off Rainbow Dash’s protest and watched as Cadence grew older as Rainbow grew younger.
“Ya well your a troll you know that” Rainbow Dash said to Celestia
“A Troll? I’m not a Troll i’m a Pony.” Said Celestia unsure of what Trolls had to do with any of this.
“Princess, it’s a slang for someone who pulls mean jokes on someone.” Explained Rarity having being into fashion kept up with the modern ways of slang even if she thought it uncouth.
“YA YOU HEARD ME YOU ARE A T-R-O-L-L” The rainbow maned filly shouted
“I think you need to have your eyes checked Rainbow, i’m not the one who teased my friend to the point where out of annoyance she turned me into a foal.” Replied Celestia beginning to find the filly annoying.
“You are a troll, troll, troll, troll.” Repeated Rainbow Dash sticking her tongue out at Celestia.
“That’s it!” Shrieked Celestia as she grabbed Rainbow Dash and started to paddle her flank.
“Stop that” Rainbow Dash said while kicking when she ended up hitting Celestia in the wing.
“You did not just do what i think you did.” Hissed Celestia voice full of venom.
“Oh Shi--” Began Rainbow before she found herself in a dark gold aura.
“Oh no you messed up Rainbow Dash” Twilight said watching Celestia walk away with the foal
“ I like you Rainbow Dash, so i’ll let you off easy, but the last Pony who ever touched my wings without permission well... Let’s just say they're not around anymore.” Grinned Celestia as she strapped the cyan filly down in Luna’s old highchair. “You’re still not going to like what i do to you though. Fluttershy be a dear and tell me what Rainbow hates to eat most in the world.”
“Asparagus.” Meeped out Fluttershy terrified.
“Ah yes that is a bad one, and with her taste buds now being extra sensitive, she’ll hate it even worse.” Cackled Celestia as she walked to the Kitchens and returned a few minutes with a large bowl of a dark green goo.
“I’m not eating that!” Said Rainbow Dash clenching her mouth shut.
“Oh really?” Smirked Celestia plucking one of her shorter feathers and coming ever closer to Rainbow Dash as she watched on in terror.
“Coochi coochi coo.” Laughed Celestia as she put the bowl down on the tray and began to tickle Rainbow Dash’s hoof with the feather.
Bwa ha ha ack.” Laughed Rainbow before Celestia put the spoon into her mouth.
This is going to be hell. Thought Rainbow Dash as she choked down the horrid vegetable.

A study in humility, Twilight’s week as a foal
Chapter 5
The Rainbow Maned Foal
“How could this happen to me!” Wailed Rainbow Dash as she was sat in the bathtub while the servants cleaned the kitchen. In the surprise of Rainbow’s transformation, and Celestia punishing the cyan filly they had forgotten to diaper her, and she wet all over Luna’s highchair, and the tablecloth. In response to this Rainbow Dash threw a tantrum and sent the bowl of pureed asparagus flying into the wall to splat all over the walls.
“ I can’t believe at least one of you guys didn’t remember.” Huffed Rainbow Dash as the cloth was rubbed along her body, removing the asparagus and mucus that had matted in Dash’s coat.
“It wasn’t exactly calm when you regressed Rainbow Dash.” Said Celestia who was bathing the filly instead of Cadence who was celebrating her return with a flight around the city.
“ I’ll give you that one.” Said Rainbow Dash as she played a bit with the Spitfire doll that Celestia had given her to play with while she worked on getting the filly clean again. “So it’s this only going to be until Tomorrow at the same time or what?” Asked Rainbow Dash as Celestia poured the bucket of water over the filly and the shampoo and soap rinsed off, and left a sparkling clean Rainbow Dash.
“ If you behave yourself i’ll think about it.” Replied Celestia as she lifted the filly out of the tub and began to dry her off.
“No promises, i was quite the wild child as a filly.” Laughed Rainbow Dash as she was put on the changing table and diapered.
“Then i won’t promise to change you back.” Replied Celestia smirking.
“Fine, fine, i’ll be good.” Said Rainbow Dash as they went to rejoin the others.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“All clean now Dashie?” Giggled Twilight deciding she would give Rainbow just as much grief as she had her.
“You know what Twi here is an idea shut up” Said Rainbow Dash a little annoyed with her friend and the princess
“I don’t run on shutters, i run on my feet,and when i sit down i sit on a seat.” Sing songed Twilight sticking her tongue out.
“Just be quiet or i will help you be quiet” Threatened Rainbow Dash
“ I’m really scared of the wittle bitty Pegasus!” Mocked Twilight.
“You should be” Said Rainbow Dash as she tackled Twilight
“Now you two enough.” Said Luna separating the two as Dash had gone to punch Twilight.
“She started it” Complained Rainbow Dash
“Why do children always say that?” Luna spun her eyes. “Two wrongs don’t make right.”
“No you did Rainbow heck Scootaloo can fly better than you” Said Twilight
“Well I.” Began Rainbow Dash before she found her lips couldn’t open
“WE SAID ENOUGH!” Bellowed Luna going back to the royal Canterlot voice for a moment.
“Uff Uff Uff.” Mumbled Twilight having had the same curse placed on her, while all Rainbow Dash could do was whimper in fear at Luna
Luna took a couple of deep breaths and hugged Rainbow Dash, then she removed the curse from her and Twilight.
“The hell was that?” Sniffled Rainbow Dash about ready to cry from the shock.
“It’s called the royal Canterlot voice, it’s how She and Celestia used to talk back a thousand years ago, and it seems when you upset her she reverted back to it.” Explained Twilight unphased having met with the full force of Luna’s royal Canterlot voice last Nightmare Night.
“How come Celestia didn’t do it?” Asked Dash shuddering at how much more terrifying Celestia would have been when she was being punished.
“Celestia had a thousand years to get used to the new way of speaking, Luna didn’t” Twilight reminded Rainbow Dash.
“I know that i am not a foal” Rainbow Dash said
“If you didn’t want an answer why did you ask?” Replied Twilight,
“Oh ya answer this” Rainbow Dash said as she punched Twilight in the face
“You, You!” Began Twilight before she started crying
“TIMEOUT, TIMEOUT,TIMEOUT!” Bellowed Luna her voice leaving a hole in the nursery.
“I hope you slip on a banana peel and die!” Wailed Twilight as she ran out of the nursery and down the hall.
“Now Rainbow what in tha hay was all of that about” Asked AppleJack
“Hey AppleJack she started it with me so i finished it” Replied Rainbow
“Ya’ll didn’t need ta punch her though.” Rebuked Applejack.
“Well she did not need to start stuff with me” Said Rainbow
“Nevermind Ya’ll are impossible.”
“And you are a fat mare” Rainbow insulted Applejack
“THAT’S IT! IMMA GONNA BEAT YOU LIKE A REDHEADED STEPPONY!” Screamed Applejack enraged that she had been called fat “ Y’all got a paddle, or a 2 by 4 or somethin?”
“Why yes we do we have both pick which one you want” Luna said smugly
“The paddle got holes in it?” Asked Applejack.
“What what for” Asked the frightened Rainbow Dash
“Cause y’all need some discipline, and ah paddle with holes hurts more.” Replied Applejack.
“Coming from the mare who can eat a whole apple orchard when she makes lunch” Said Rainbow knowing she was going to regret it
“Y’all are just digging yourself deeper.” Said Applejack as Luna returned with an old fashioned paddle with holes like the ones teachers used to use to punish naughty foals.
“Grab ya ankles.” Commanded Applejack
“No thank you” Rainbow Dash said in attempts to run
“Oh no you don’t this ought to do you some good.” Said Luna catching Dash in her aura and forcing her to grab her ankles.
“You will count out loud.” Said Applejack as she swung the paddle and it connected with Rainbow Dash’s flank, and Dash teared up as her flank reddened.
“Ah don’t hear countin.” Said Applejack as Dash started to truly cry
“Hey buck you, you stupid bitch, you think you can break me, i had worse beatings at the orphanage. I won’t give you the satisfaction!” Screamed Rainbow Dash as she tried to hold back the tears.
“ Ah guarantee Y’all have never had a beatin like Granny Smith can give.” Replied Applejack
“Oh ya well guess what this does not even hurt” Rainbow Dash lied
“ Then we’ll up the ante.” Replied Applejack throwing all of the hard earned strength into the next swing breaking the skin
“No i won’t break you cant make me break” Rainbow Dash said
“Ah will teach y’all respect!” Snapped Applejack swinging again causing some blood to drip off Rainbow’s flank.
“ I’m Rainbow Dash and i’m stronger than this, you think this can break me, this is nothing compared the the pain i suffer every day inside my mind!”Rainbow snapped seeing everypony in the room shocked that AppleJack hadn’t broken her at all, and Rainbow Dash broke Luna’s hold on her. “COME TO ME WHEN YOU'VE BEEN THOUGH HALF OF WHAT I’VE BEEN!” she then turned and ran down the hall in the opposite direction as Twilight had.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“Rainbow Dash where did you go” Shouted Twilight looking for her friend with the others once they had told her what happened. She then heard some light singing and it sounded like Rainbow Dash.
“Home to my heart, when you come home we’ll never be apart, if i keep dreaming of you, start believing it’s true.” Rainbow Dash was singing while hidden
“Dash?” Asked Twilight but she received no answer just the rustling of leaves as Rainbow tried to sneak away.
“Dash come back” Twilight said jumping in the bush “Everypony told me what happened, If you don’t talk about it it’ll never get better and they’ll always haunt you.”
“The orphanage told me what happened, They just up and left me Twilight, I was just a month old and they left me there alone.” Sobbed Rainbow as the rustling became louder as Dash tried harder to get away.
“ If they treated you so badly there why believe them they could have died or something.” Cried back Twilight desperate to get to her friend and help her.
“Why can’t you just leave me alone like i asked” Rainbow Dash said still trying to get away
“Because i won’t, we’re friends, you wouldn’t let me hurt like that!” Yelled Back Twilight angrily before a glint of gold caught her eye, it was a necklace, She took it outside the bush to look at it thinking it was Rainbow Dash’s and that it might have some answers. Inside was a picture of a mare who looked the spitting image of Rainbow Dash and a stallion who looked a little like Soarin.
“Are these them?” Asked Twilight before Dash came out and snacthed the necklace out of Twilight’s hoof
“Yes they are, my mother’s name was Rainbow Spark and you guess the asscolt their” Rainbow said a little frustrated
“It’s the legendary Lighting Dash, he was a wonderbolt, and Soarin’s father, So you do have some family.” Said Twilight
“No, he was a player, Soarin is some other mare’s kid.” Said Rainbow.
“ But why would your Mother just up and leave you?” Asked Twilight.
“Look i don’t know, and i don’t really care, all i know is that because of them i’m alone, “ so there you got your answer, now will you leave me alone?” Asked Rainbow Dash as she stared remorsefully at the broken clasp of her necklace.
I’ll beat him, and i’ll be a better Wonderbolt then he could never of imagined.
“Is that why you want to be a Wonderbolt?” Asked Twilight “You know Princess Celestia or Luna could fix that for you.” She added as she wrapped her foreleg around Rainbow.
“No, That’s why i will be a Wonderbolt, I’ll crush his records, and no one will remember him ever again.” Rainbow Said as she kept trying to fix the necklace.
“Revenge doesn’t do any good my little filly.” Said Luna as she had noticed the two and joined them fixing Rainbow’s necklace and putting it back on her.
“How come we’ve never noticed that?” Asked Twilight as she noticed the chain now hitting Rainbow’s ribcage.
“Because i got the chain so short that it can’t be seen when i’m an adult.” Replied Rainbow having calmed down a little.
“Wait why would you do that?” Asked Twilight while poking Rainbow Dash
“Because i have my reasons that why” Rainbow Dash said
“Ok enough Twilight she’s told you quite enough.” Said Luna as she send Celestia a message via magic. I’ve found her, she was in the gardens.
A few minutes later Rainbow was tackled to the ground by a distraught Fluttershy
“Rainbow Dash! I, i was so worried about you! Don’t you ever run off like that again” Wailed Fluttershy remembering the last time Rainbow had run off
“ Cho...king,,, me, Flutters...”Rainbow Dash said while trying to push herself out of Fluttershy’s death grip
“I thought you might do something stupid again.” Said Fluttershy as she released Rainbow Dash
“I would not i am not a foal” Rainbow Dash protested trying to get Fluttershy to stop talking to her like she was her mother
“Right What about these.” Said Fluttershy as she put Rainbow Dash’s front leg out and revealed the myriad of scars on Dash’s wrists
“Ya well shut up ok Fluttershy” Snapped Rainbow Dash
“Fluttershy, Please we’ve already had to look for her once today.” Said Celestia pulling Fluttershy away from Dash. “Come on we should get back inside the castle, you must be hungry.”
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“Peaches?” Asked Dash excitedly
“Yes you’ve been through quite the ordeal, and so i asked Fluttershy what your favorite food was this time, she said cloud sherbet, but we don’t really have three days now do we?” Laughed Celestia as she strapped down Twilight and Rainbow into the highchairs
“ Thanks Princess, sorry i’ve been such a brat, but all this is doing is bringing back bad memories.” Said Dash as she opened her mouth so Celestia could feed her.
“I can imagine, Fluttershy told us everything before we went looking for you and Twilight as she took off after you feeling it was her fault.” Said Celestia
“Well it was not really her fault” Rainbow Dash said knowing it was a little bit of her fault
“ So do you mind telling us how you met.” Asked Luna
“I guess, can i tell it Flutters?” Asked Dash know Flutershy’s past was just as dark as hers, if not darker.
“Go ahead they deserve to know why i act the way i do sometimes.” Replied Fluttershy her voice empty a little bit,
“Me and Fluttershy met when we were a couple years older than me and Twilight are now, maybe four or five. It turns out that Fluttershy mom is a paranoid schizophrenic and something got into her head one night, and she killed her husband right in front of Fluttershy, and then tried to kill her too, but the cops got there in time to save Fluttershy.they weapon that her mother ended up killing her dad with was a plastic knife the cops saw him hung with his lower intestine and the large intestine had been used to hog tie him the thing was he was barely alive right when the cops got Fluttershy out of there they went back for her mother who had ripped his heart out of his chest and had it in her mouth” Explain Rainbow Dash.
“I was mute for about a whole year, it was just too much.” Said Fluttershy hollowly her mind had entered self perseverance mode, but she could still talk. “Rainbow Dash got me to open up and talk a little, She told me i couldn’t let my mother take away my voice.”
“So is that why y’all went crazy at the Gala?” Asked AppleJack
“Or why you became so crazy after Iron Hoof’s assertiveness class.” Added Rarity remembering “New Fluttershy.”
“Yes that is why” Fluttershy meeped out “I’ve got the same thing, just much less worse.”
“ It seems that we still have a lot to learn about each other.” Said Twilight softly
“Everypony has their secrets , lets just leave it like that for now.” Replied Rarity
“That would be best.” Said Celestia as she gathered up Rainbow and Twilight’s bowls and put them in the sink. It was then that a loud farting noise distracted everypony, and they all looked at Rainbow Dash.
“ I should have know this would happen sooner or later.” Said Rainbow Dash rolling her eyes.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Celestia had filled the tub up for Twilight and Rainbow Dash setting both foals in there
“Ducks are funny you know.” Said Twilight as Dash played around with the Spitfire doll.
“How so, Twilight?” Asked Celestia as Twilight squeaked the duck
“ I don’t know i’ve just always found them amusing.” Replied Twilight
“Well i guess you don’t really need a reason to find something amusing.” Smiled Celestia as she washed both foals.
“Nope you do not” Twilight said
“I don’t know why but i wish knew both of you at this age” Giggled Celestia as she took both foals out of the tub drying them off
I know it has been awhile since a new chapter but i have been busy

A study in humility Twilight’s week as a foal
A horrible past revisited Fluttershy's turn part 1
Twilight’s Week as a foal
“So who’s turn is it now?” Asked Twilight as the twenty four hour point of Dash’s transformation, and as promised by Celestia she would change Dash back to normal. So everypony put their hooves to their chins in though,and Celestia made a list of who had been turned into a foal.
“How about Fluttershy?” Asked Twilight looking at the butter yellow pegasus who had just hours before revealed a small part of the horrible past that made her the meek shy mare who she was today.
“Are you sure, Twilight. I mean she just went through enough with what little we’ve found out; maybe it would be best if she went last, or not at all.” Rarity said as look at Fluttershy who looked distance and empty.
“Yeah, that’s true, I mean she doesn’t need to be hurt more.” Said Twilight before Fluttershy cut her off.
“I’ll do it.”
“Fluttershy, are you sure honey, It’s not going to be easy with everything you’ve been though. “I mean...” Began Celestia before Fluttershy put her hoof to the Princess’s lips
“I know but maybe it’s time i came to grips with it.” Fluttershy replied and backed away.
“Flutters.” Dash began
“No Dashie this is something I’ve got to do.” Fluttershy stopped Dash before she began and kissed her.
“Fine” Rainbow sighed and nodded to the Princess who brought the two of them into her golden aura and began the spell allowing everypony to watch as Rainbow grew older; while Fluttershy in turn became younger. Once finished Celestia dressed Fluttershy and patted her on the head.
“You’re stronger than anypony gives you credit for; Your father would be proud.” Celestia whispered into Fluttershy’s ear. It was then that Celestia noticed that Fluttershy was wearing the same short chained necklace that Rainbow had expect her’s was silver.
“What is this Fluttershy?” Asked Celestia knowing the answer already but not expecting the reaction.
“Don’t touch it!” Fluttershy exclaimed quickly covering her neck with her hoofs.
"Okay Fluttershy if you don’t wish for me to touch it I won’t” Celestia Replied helping her down from the changing table. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay I just don’t want to have it touched.” Fluttershy replied knowing it was pointless to try to hide the pendant in her foal form as like with Dash’s it hung about at her ribcage.
“Fluttershy if I may” Cadance said walking over to Fluttershy “Just hold still” Cadence then used her magic to adjust Fluttershy’s necklace so it would not hang so low Fluttershy looked down pawing her hoof at the ground
“Thanks” Fluttershy Said a little shaken still “I’m not quite ready to have this seen yet.”
“It’s okay Fluttershy; We’ll take this slow and easy. This isn’t supposed to be a punishment or a way of dragging up old memories, it’s for Twilight.” Cadence replied hugging the shaking filly and rocking her slightly.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The nursery lights were off as the two fillies slumbered in their cribs when the door slid open quietly by means of a golden aura, Celestia inched her way towards Fluttershy’s crib.
“I want to see just what Fluttershy is hiding, if we’re going to help her get over her past then we need to know everything.” Celestia used her magic to gently open the necklace only to see a picture of Fluttershy’s father He had a mane of red hair and a sunny sky as his cutie mark.
“This is... I cannot remember his name, but i’ve seed this stallion before. He was a famous veterinarian. Now I understand why Fluttershy is so good with animals. It was then that Celestia noticed a soft melody was playing from the pendent
Baby mine, don't you cry. Baby mine, dry your eyes. Rest your head close to my heart, never to part, baby of mine.
Little one when you play, don't you mind what they say. Let those eyes sparkle and shine, never a tear, baby of mine.
If they knew sweet little you they'd end up loving you two. All of those people who scold you what they'd give just for the right to hold you.
From your head down to your toes, you're not much, goodness knows. But you're so precious to me, sweet as can be, baby of mine.
If they knew sweet little you, they'd end up loving you too. All those same people who scold you, what they'd give just for the right to hold you.
From your head down to your toes you're not much, goodness knows. But you're so precious to me, sweet as can be, baby of mine. Baby of mine
“Oh my.” Began Celestia wiping a couple of tears away from her eyes. She then closed the pendent, wrapped Fluttershy in an extra blanket and kissed her lightly. “Such a strong young mare, how did you never break I guess your love for Rainbow Dash is stronger than we all gave credit for.”
“No I just knew Daddy didn’t want me to join him in that way.” Fluttershy Replied sitting up slightly and looking at the princess
“Fluttershy, I’m” Began Celestia before Fluttershy raised her hoof
“Don’t say sorry, you don’t have to, You just wanted to know didn’t you? I’m glad that everypony wants to help me, but i’m not quite sure i’m ready to talk about it yet.”
“I understand well now that you are awake do you need anything?” Celestia asked
“Can’t I have a bottle or something to eat, I’m sorta hungry” It was then that Fluttershy’s stomach growled seconding the suggestion and causing Celestia to giggle slightly
“Yes you can” Celestia said as she picked Fluttershy up “Lets go”
“So you said you knew my Daddy?” Asked Fluttershy slightly morose
“I have seen him once or twice” Celestia said “He was quite skilled at what he did; I was surprised the first time i seen him that his cutie mark was a sun instead of something to do with animals like your’s is. He saved Philomena’s life once which is a feat in it’s self because when a Phoenix gets sick enough that it could truly die there are not many things anypony can do, but your father knew quite a bit of animal medicine and i doubt there was anything he couldn’t do when it came to saving a animal.
“Like when I thought she was sick and took her” Fluttershy laughed “He taught me everything I know” Fluttershy then gave a big grin showing off her bare gums
“Indeed my little pony, I see you becoming just as well know as he was, but word has it in Ponyville you’ve already become the pony everypony asks if their pet is sick.
Fluttershy’s jaw dropped “How well known was he?”
“He was known all around Equestria, i imagine that the only reason you wouldn’t of heard about him is i imaging nopony knew he had a daughter or then if they had they didn’t want to hurt you by reminding you of his death.” Celestia explained and the noticed that there was a slight hint of rotten egg smell in the air, and Fluttershy was blushing.
“Aww did you flutter yourself?” Giggle Celestia
“Well,Um,I” Blushed Fluttershy
“It’s okay we just have to take a quick detour from the Kitchen and change you.” Celestia nuzzled Fluttershy it was hard not to the butter yellow pegasus was cute enough as it was but, when she was flustered she was irresistible.
“Oh but we might wake Twilight up” Fluttershy said now worried about waking her friend up
“It’s okay Twilight may very well be in the same predicament as you hun, Boy to think i was wondering if i’d ever know what it was like to really be a mother, well i guess i’ve had a taste of it now.” Said Celestia turning around back toward the nursery
“Oh well okay”
“Having fun so far Fluttershy?” Asked Twilight as the two of them had Fluttershy squeaked from the surprise
“Oh um, Yes so far.” Replied Fluttershy once she had recovered from the shock.
“That’s good, but it does feel weird having accidents doesn’t it?” Asked Twilight blushing slightly.
“Oh my, well um, I guess yes. I didn’t even notice it. One minute i was talking with the princess then my tummy felt funny and before i even had time to think of it i had a messy diaper.” Replied Fluttershy blushing as well.
“Yeah, that was me too. It’s so strange.” Replied Twilight remembering the scene in the town square.
“Well I guess it is ironic Fluttershy” Celestia said
“What is ironic Princess?” Asked Twilight
“Well Twilight remember Fluttershy did not let you use the toilet and now she needs changed” Celestia explained changing the two foals
“Oh yeah, that’s right Well looks like the horseshoe’s on the other foot now huh Fluttershy.” Giggled Twilight
“I guess so” Fluttershy said with a giggle of her own
“I guess this really has worked to make us closer, so it the end i guess me blotching that spell was a blessing in disguise, so who should go next?” Twilight said
“Well I would go with Pinkie Pie and get her over with” Celestia shuddered a little
“Yes, that will be interesting.....” Twilight shuddered as well
“Maybe we can somehow get Luna to join in” Celestia giggled “Or we can trick her”
“Luna will be so adorable or adorkable.” Giggled Twilight playing on words knowing that Luna was just as much of a bookworm as her
“Isn’t it mean to trick Princess Luna?” Fluttershy asked meekly
“Oh please I owe her some payback for when she dyed my mane pink.” Replied Celestia a bit of a tic going off in her forehead
“Wait she did that Princess?” Twilight asked
“Oh my that is not nice.”
“Yes,but she said next time it’d will be Dj Pon-3. DO you happen to know who that is?” Asked Celestia
“I do I do I do” Twilight shouted raising her hoof
“Yes, Twilight.” Nodded Celestia as if the were in class.
“She is Ponyville’s town DJ” Twilight beamed with pride
“Ah and does she have an interesting mane?” Celestia continued
“It is different” Fluttershy said is a quiet voice
“It’s Dark blue alternating with Neon blue, kinda like your mane but without the magic flowing.” Explained Twilight
“Well that would be.....” Began Celestia rolling her eyes.
“Thou wouldn’t happen to be talking about us would thou Tia?” Asked Luna sneaking up behind her sister and startling her.
“Um well how are you today Luna?” Stammered Celestia
“I am well and now why is Fluttershy a foal?” Luna asked
“We decided that we’d allow each of the other their chance at a day as a foal, and it’s Fluttershy’s turn.” Celestia Explain as Luna tapped her hoof.
“It is not so bad” Fluttershy said
“Well i’m glad you find it to your liking young Fluttershy; Mine Sister better not get any ideas in her head though.” Grinned Luna wickedly
“Same to you dearest Sister.” Replied Celestia in kind
“Who said I need ideas Tia I have already had to deal with this” Luna reminded
“Indeed, We let’s just agree neither of us are becoming foals without choosing so ourselves; Right.” Smiled Celestia
“Indeed Sister.” Agreed Luna
“Umm excuse me but I am still hungry” Fluttershy squeaked
“Oh I’m so sorry hun, Yes let’s go
“What about me?” Asked Twilight
“Are you hungry as well Twilight?” Asked Luna
“That depends. Do i have to drink from a bottle again.” Huffed Twilight hating the taste of the foalmula and the feeling of being a foal
“Yes” Luna stated
Twilight thought about it for a moment before deciding she had to have something and relenting “Okay.”
“Lets go than” Celestia said picking both foals up grinning at Luna “I think Luna should be next” Celestia whispered to the both of them
“Well I think it’d be fun playing with Luna, if you find a way to trick her.” Replied Twilight giggling kinda wanting revenge for being made to drink from a bottle.
“I taught you so well Twilight.” Smirked Celestia nuzzling Twilight
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
“Ugh i will never get used to the taste of that stuff.” Groaned Twilight as Luna cleaned up Twilight and her coat from where Twilight had spit up when Luna burped her.
“It’s not so bad, i’ve had worse.” Replied Fluttershy as Celestia went through the same ritual.
“Hey princess is it okay if i mess with Luna a bit. “ Giggled Twilight as she sent a message to Celestia telepathically feeling that she’d soon be needing her diaper changed. Celestia smirked and nodded at Twilight who proceed to try to push herself into messing her diaper.
“Twilight are you okay?” Asked Luna as she saw the pained look on Twilight’s face when PFFFFFFT! Twilight began to loudly mess her diaper to the point that it began to sag badly.
“That one’s all you Luna” Celestia wheezed rolling of the floor laughing holding her sides
“What!? No way Tia but she is your student” Luna shouted
“Yes,but you’re the one who insisted on feeding her foalmula. You know what that stuff does to ponies with sensitive stomachs” Celestia Replied enjoying the situation greatly, “besides i changed her earlier.”
“But I....” Whined Luna as she held Twilight away from her slightly as the smell was overpowering it was obvious by both sight a smell that Twilight needed changed and quickly. It was then that Twilight began to cry.
“Princess i need my diapy changed now!” She wailed beginning to kick her hooves.
“Fine. I will get you back for this Tia.” Swore Luna as she took Twilight back to the nursery.
