Chapter One: The Blizzard of a Century

Author's Note

Firstly, before any of y’all read this here chapter, let me start off by saying that I screwed up and didn’t create a prologue for this first chapter. So please read the prologue first, and then the rest of the story afterwards… . Hope this will clear up some confusion, and hope that y’all have a wonderful day or night! Peace!

Also, I forgot to mention this, but whenever Flurry Heart stutters like that in the story, it meant that she’s nervous, because she always stutters when nervous… . Poor kid. Plus she’s practically six years old. So please don’t get confused about this… . Thanks.

Chapter One: The Blizzard of a Century

Flurry Heart is currently in her bedroom playing with her plushies; trying to think of what to do with them, and how to proceed.

“Hmm… “ she thinks to herself. “What should I do with my dolls? I know I can’t exactly do imagination games with them anymore… .” She then sighs because she knows she couldn’t anymore because she’s six years old now; (about to be seven next month in the story’s timeline). “Hmm… . What to do, what to do… .”

However, before Flurry Heart could dwell on that decision any longer, a pink bouncy earth pony barged in, and greets her with a cheery; “hiya Flurry! What’ya been up to lately?” Knowing who it is, Flurry gasped in excitement, turned to see who it was, and then shouts; “auntie Pinkie Pie! You’re here!” and then flew in to tackle Pinkie Pie into a hug. “I’m so so so so so so so so so glad you’re here!” She then released and asked whilst bouncing a little from excitement and hyperness; “what’re ya doing here?”

A rainbow Pegasus stepped inside, not looking too good for comfort, and then says a little meekly; “just… trying to see if there’s any pain meds… . Hehehe… .” After that, the pegasi fell to the ground and passed out.

Also knowing who it is, Flurry Heart gasped in concern, and flew to the pony before asking Pinkie Pie; “I-is aunt dashie okay? W-w-what happened?” Pinkie sighs in slight disappointment, and then says with a shake to her head and a smile; “same old dashie trying to one up somepony and getting hurt in the process. Hehehe… I love her for it.” Rainbow Dash sprung up from the floor, and then said; “hey! I told you not to tell anypony about my escapades! Ow!” Rainbow then rubbed her lower back because she felt pain developing from there, and wanted it to stop.

“Sooo what you’re saying is is that auntie Rainbow got a little too competitive, and then tried to win, but got hurt in the process… ?” Flurry Heart asked in slight confusion. Pinkie then nodded, and said in a cheery; “eeyup! That pretty much sums it up!” Rainbow Dash then grumbled; “oh go to hoofshire Pinkie! Ow… ! That hurt!” Rainbow said while again rubbing her lower back due to back pain forming there. Flurry Heart then flew to hug her rainbow maned aunt, and then asked Pinkie Pie; “w-well isn’t there something that you could do to make her feel better?” Pinkie sighs with a frown, then says; “like what hmm??? It’s not like your parents have any pain meds for her, do they?”

Flurry Heart nodded, but then sighs, and says; “well… . They do… . But it’s just that I’m not allowed near them. Mommy and daddy say that I’m not allowed anywhere near those things just in case I mistake them for candy or something… .” Both Pinkie and Rainbow then perked up a little, then Rainbow began to say; “you know… . For a little filly and all… you sure are observant of everything… huh… ?” Flurry giggled in response, and said with a blush; “yeah… . I get that a lot. Hehe… .” Flurry then flew upwards, and gestured for her two aunts to follow her.

Rainbow Dash is passed out on Flurry’s bed; asleep. Meanwhile, Pinkie and Flurry Heart are playing with some toy blocks! Sure to Flurry it seemed a little too “babyish” for her… . But regardless, she enjoys playing with them, and doesn’t mind anything about them one bit.

“Aunt Pinkie?” Flurry Heart said after finishing her block tower. “Yes?” Pinkie Pie said while pausing her own building for now. “D-do you think I’m… *gulp* …w-weird?” Pinkie’s cheery mood lowered to one of concern, and then asked with a small giggle; “no silly! Why would you think that?” Flurry Heart sniffled a little, then began to tear up before saying; “never mind… “ and continued her building of a new tower.

Pinkie eventually knew where this was all coming from, and then said; “hey, forget about those meanie heads! They don’t know who they’re messing with!” Flurry started to snicker at that, and then said; “I mean… I guess so, but… .”

Flurry Heart was about to finish her sentence, before Pinkie gently placed a hoof to her mouth, and then replied with; “no worries… . Besides! What’s the worst that could happen?”

And as if by coincidence, a black smoke moving in a snake like motion entered through one of the open windows, and then slammed down onto the ground before enveloping into a familiar figure, whom then said; “I’d watch what you say there kid… . There’s a reason why no one ever says that anymore… .”

Knowing who it is, Flurry Heart then asked; “U-uncle Sombra? W-what’re you doing here?” Sombra then approached before saying; “I’ve came here to tell you that I have good and bad news… . Which news do you wanna hear first?” Pinkie raised her hoof in excitement, and said; “good news please? I love good news!” Sombra chuckles, and then replied with; “I’m gonna help you two watch over Flurry Heart!” Flurry got a bit tense, and then asked; “w-what’s the bad news… ?” Sombra then sighs, and says; “we’re stuck inside due to the blizzard… .”

Rainbow Dash, having surprisingly heard all that, woke up in a jolt with a panicked look on her face, before shouting with worry; “wait, what?!” before a winter wind entered through the window and into the room; almost as if it’s signifying some sort of dramatic event that’s about to unfold… .

Chapter Two: A Very Unexpected Outcome

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter Three: A not so Good Start

Flurry Heart, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie are all in zip based baby onesies, and are just overall bouncing up and down because of their excitement for a slumber party. And as for King Sombra… he’s just sitting on the ground and frowning. Reason… ?

“Oh why did I let y’all talk me into giving me a makeover… . I thought we went over this… ?” Pinkie gigged a bit, and said; “sowwy… . But you gotta admit, it wooks weawwy nice on you.” Sombra smiled sarcastically, already having been made to look pretty with makeup and a girly princess outfit, and replied with; “aww really? And here I thought I was queen and not king… . Thanks!” Pinkie pouted a little, and then said; “weww you downt need two be so mean abouwt it… .”

Sombra sighs from starting to feel bad, gets rid of all the makeup on his face, and takes off the dress; since it was only just placed on him due to the infants not feeling comfortable with taking off his clothes for obvious reasons, and then replied with; “I’m not trying to, sorry.” Sombra sighs again to calm down, and then admits with a slight chuckle; “if I’m being honest, I think I’m experiencing cabin fever too… .” Rainbow then glared at Sombra before saying; “den why’d you make me feew bad den? It not nice.” Sombra sighs again, this time running out of a little patience, and then says; “like I said, I’m sorry… . Now can we please drop the subject? I really don’t wanna take my anger out on you… . Trust me… .” Both Pinkie and Rainbow nodded their heads and quickly resumed gathering up some plushies, pillows, and whatnot; remembering the last time Sombra got angry, and then nearly took down an entire restaurant just by punching holes in the walls from one of their day or night outs.

Sombra and the others are currently sitting in a circle, especially with Flurry Heart sitting on Sombra’s lap. Reason? She’s used to it. And by that, it means that she’s used to sitting on Shining’s lap for whenever there’s story time involved… . But since he’s not here, and out with his wife Cadence, she decided to have Sombra become her temporary story time chair for now… .

“Okay… .” Sombra clapped as he’s getting ready to tell the toddlers some stories. “What story would any of y’all like for me to read for y’all… ? Any suggestions?” The three toddlers all patted their chins in thought… . But soon eventually shook their heads no since they’re basically at a loss. Well… at least until… . “Oh oh oh! I got an idea!” Sombra looked as to where Flurry Heart was now sitting at, and then asked with a small chuckle, yet slight concern and stutter from all of the confusion that just occurred; “y-yeah kid? W-what would you like for me to read?” Flurry Heart started bouncing, and then replied with; “Gusty the Gweat!”

Snickering, Sombra asked; “you sure… ? It’s kinda for babies isn’t it… ? And besides; the story’s really old… . You don’t wanna listen to that old wise tale… . Trust me.. .” Flurry Heart then began to whimper, and then started bouncing up and down in frustration. Not wanting to have to deal with a cranky infant just yet, Sombra caved, and said; “grr fine! But that’s the last time I’m telling anypony that story!”

Rainbow Dash blinked at that statement, and asked; “you wead dat stowy befowre?” Sombra sighs, nods yes, and punched a crack on one of the crystal walls to show how frustrated he was. Not wanting to have to know what it’s like to be punched like that, Rainbow Dash held her hooves in front of her, and says; “it owkay… . We won’t teww you again… . Owkay?” Sombra nodded, and breathed a sigh to calm himself down. Rainbow Dash then sat down with a little wiggle to get comfortable; especially knowing the fact that she’s in a diaper, and then says; “weady… !” with a slight happy and or excited look to her face. With that, Sombra cleared his throat, and began telling them the story of Gusty the Great.

The story was just about to reach its climax, when suddenly Rainbow Dash started to look uncomfortable, and then covered the front of her diaper with her hooves; signifying that she needs to use the bathroom. Seeing this, Sombra closed the book, looked at her, and asked; “you okay there lil one? You didn’t get hurt did you?”

Pinkie went close to comfort her rainbow colored friend, and then replied with; “no… . I think she needs to go potty.” Sombra laughed at that response, and said; “wow hahaha! I never knew you could be so direct sometimes… .” Rainbow just growled at the both of them, and then replied; “pwease huwwy! I might have accident in diapee!” Sombra laughs some more, before replying back; “okay, okay… . Take it easy… . It’s fine.” Rainbow Dash just growled, and continued covering her diaper while also doing the potty dance. With that, Sombra picks up Rainbow Dash, and starts to leave the room with her so she could make it to the bathroom on time. But before that happened, Pinkie climbed onto Sombra, and looked at him with a smile. Sighing; Sombra says to himself; “I don’t get paid enough to do this… “ and then leaves the room.

As for Pinkie and Flurry Heart, they’re deciding on what there is to do for until they get back. Suddenly, they have an idea! Albeit, a not so good one at that… .

Chapter Four: A Very Messy Comeback

While Rainbow Dash is in the bathroom; along with King Sombra outside of the bathroom for her privacy, Flurry Heart and Pinkie Pie are currently trying their best and or hardest to gather up any and all flour sacks and cups of water in the castle’s kitchen for one reason, and one reason only… . A prank.

“So… . What do we do now… ?” Flurry Heart said as she’s both panting from being tired, and a little confused as to how she couldn’t carry a single sack of flour no more… . Few seconds after that, she got that look, and then sighs with a frown and furrowed brow, having just remembered just now, and says; “oh… right. I a toddwer again… . Grrrr!”

Pinkie Pie giggled, and says while pointing with her hooves; “we can stiww do it! See?” Flurry Heart looked to her aunt and stared onward in shock and bewilderment. Reason? Behind Pinkie Pie was the most gigantic pile of flour sacks, piled on top of each other onto a giant cart and or wheelbarrow… . At least, from her perspective that is.

Looking back at her aunt, Flurry Heart stammered; “h-h-how… ?!” Pinkie just giggled in response, and then said; “I Pinkie Pie siwwy! I your aunt!” Still bewildered, Flurry Heart tried to reply to her aunt’s answer to her question, but then sighs in defeat, and says; “neber mind… . I can’t dink it droo enough… .”

Pinkie just giggled while pulling the cart with her with relative ease, and says; “now cmon! It’s pwanking time!” Flurry Heart soon followed behind, sighs with a chuckle, and replied back to herself; “auntie pinkie… . So siwwy… .”

Minutes had passed, and basically nothing else is out of the ordinary… . Not yet anyways… .

“S-sowwy bout that… .” Rainbow Dash said; feeling ashamed for what she did in the bathroom. Shuttering, Sombra replied; “let’s not talk about it… . Never… ! Okay?” Rainbow nodded, and then hid her face in shame.

After they’ve reached the door to Flurry Heart’s bedroom, Sombra began to look at Rainbow Dash, whom then looked back at him, and then Sombra began with; “let’s just keep whatever you did between us… okay?” He then began to chuckle before continuing with; “I mean after all… . I have no clue as to what I fed you during lunch time… . But I’d bet that sure did the trick, huh lil Rainbow… ?”

Rainbow Dash soon thought about it some more… , before giggling, and then responding with; “I made poopies!” Soon after that, both of them began to laugh at the event that transpired a while back.

Both soon eventually regained their composure, before Sombra asked; “you ready?” Rainbow Dash nodded in return, and then said; “weady dada!” whilst giggling from being silly. Sombra chuckled nervously, and then said; “I hope that you’re kidding about what you just said… .” Rainbow nodded and gestured towards the door. Sombra chuckled again, and then says; “let’s go… .” before opening the door to the bedroom.

As soon as both of them entered the bedroom, Pinkie Pie then shouted; “now!” before she poured a bucket of flour, and Flurry Heart poured a bucket of water, on top of both of the ponies that entered… .

Dripping with water and flour, Rainbow Dash; being the little baby that she is, began to cry very loudly. Sombra however, was trying his very hardest to not get angry, and hurt the infants.

“Uh oh… “ Pinkie said. “Dats not good… .”

Chapter Five: A Very Aggressive King

King Sombra is fuming… . Fuming that he just got pranked by Flurry Heart and Pinkie Pie… . Not only that, but they also used the most horrible combination of liquids and or compounds in order to do their prank… . I.e, flour and water… .

Not to mention that Rainbow Dash is crying because she got pranked too… . And it didn’t feel well for her because of two reasons… . One is that she’s usually the prankster, and not the prankee… . Secondly, since she’s a baby again, everything will feel a lot more bad, and or messy for whenever she gets exposed to them… . For instance, being doused in flour and water… .

“W-w-we sowwy sombwa… .” Pinkie apologized nervously. “W-w-we no mean it… . H-honest… . W-we sowwy… . P-p-pwease…. no hurt us… .” Sombra just responded with screaming from the top of his lungs before slamming one of his back hooves to the floor. After that, he sighs, and then says; “next time that you think of a prank, make sure that it doesn’t involve me as the target next time… . Got it?!” Both Pinkie and Flurry nodded, and then rushed to get the cleaning supplies. Sombra huffed, and then said to himself; “that’s what I figured… .” before wiping himself off a bit due to the flour and water combo messing up his mane.

A few hours have gone by, and here’s the result… .

“So um… “ Sombra began as he’s covered in foal powder, looking stunned and shocked. “H-how is it that you’ve managed to make a bomb out of baby powder, and water balloons… ? L-let alone how… ?!” Pinkie just giggled, and babbled; “I fuww of supwises… .” Flurry Heart then flew to Sombra with a baby wipe, and began wiping his face so that way the foal powder wouldn’t stick. Flurry began to giggle, and joked; “wike how youwe diapee is?” Pinkie then began to whine audibly as she’s starting to feel embarrassed. She then blurted out; “I no make potty! Y-yet… .” Sombra just looked at Pinkie before saying; “I’ll change you if you decide to go to the bathroom on yourself, no worries… .” Pinkie chuckled a little, then got out a baby wipe to help Flurry Heart with cleaning up Sombra because he’s covered in foal powder still.

And as for Rainbow Dash, she’s asleep; not covered in foal powder anymore. She’s currently dreaming about something, as she then began to babble and wave her hooves in her sleep. Then she relaxed, then starts snoring.

Seeing this, Sombra looked at Pinkie Pie, and then asked with a slight smirk; “so what? You can’t think of anything else to do with your time besides acting like a baby?” He then chuckled a bit before continuing; “because for me, I’d say that you just miss being a baby, and are just looking for an excuse to act like one… . Is that correct?” Pinkie looked at him with a shocked expression, but then sighed and nodded with a frown. Sombra sighs also, and then says; “well hey, if it made you feel any better, I honestly felt like caring for you like as if you were my own daughter… . Even though I never had a daughter of my own before… , hehehe… .”

Flurry Heart paused for a bit, then began to ask Sombra as to why? Or at least tried to due to the language barrier… . And by language barrier, it meant that Sombra didn’t understood a word that she said because Flurry Heart is still fairly young, and hasn’t learned any basic words like “hi”, and “bye bye”, for example. Sombra then sighed again, chuckles, and then replied with; “I’m a villain kid. Don’t you remember… ?” Flurry Heart paused for a bit, then got a look of realization, and then nodded in response. Sombra nodded also, and then said; “exactly… “ while moving a bit because he’s starting to feel stiff and sore from leaning against the wall for too long because Pinkie and Flurry Heart are trying in a way to clean him up so the flour and water mixture wouldn’t stain or get stuck in his mane.

Repositioning to a little comfortable position, Sombra began with; “how about we just call it a night, huh? I’m starting to feel tired… . How about you two?” Flurry and Pinkie both shook their heads no, but then both yawned at the same time. Shaking his head with a smile, Sombra got up while making sure the two infants weren’t gonna fall off of him roughly because they were on his chest trying to wipe his face with baby wipes so their prank wouldn’t leave a mess, and then replied with; “let’s worry about the mess in the morning… . I’m too tired to worry about it now… .” Both Flurry and Pinkie slowly nodded their heads in response, and then fell down to the floor and began to fall asleep with a snore, not even worrying about what they just did, and if it was gonna hurt because they just did that. Sombra chuckles, says to himself; “such silly little things… .” and then picked both of them up so they could be placed into an actual bed, and not be left to sleep on the ground like that. Laying down on the little bed that was next to Flurry’s bed, (where Pinkie and Flurry are sleeping at), Sombra said goodnight, and then turned to fall asleep. Rainbow Dash then woke up a bit to fly herself onto an actual bed too, and then fell asleep on top of Sombra’s chest, without him noticing.

After some time had passed… .

Rainbow Dash is now crying because of two things that happened in a span of four hours… .

The first two hours consisted of Pinkie and the other two infants sleeping in Flurry Heart’s bed. But unfortunately, after the first hour, Rainbow began to look frightened and thrashed out in her sleep, (surprisingly not hurting Pinkie and Flurry in the process), woke up, and began crying very loudly, waking everyone else up. Sombra got up and checked on Rainbow, only to find out that she woke up, and that she also had an accident because of that nightmare scaring her. He sighed, and then picked her up to get her diaper changed.

The second hour included Flurry Heart and Pinkie Pie also needing a diaper change, plus with Rainbow and Sombra trying to calm them both down because they were abruptly woken up. Both Sombra and Rainbow tried to calm them down with something simple as a lullaby, but to no avail since both of them stunk at singing. Both eventually succeeded into calming them down by giving both of them bottles, but unfortunately had to stay up an extra hour because now Pinkie and Flurry Heart are feeling energetic because of being fed bottles of milk.

Luckily for everyone, the next two hours are actually quite calm. With Flurry and the others all asleep on top of her bed. At least until Pinkie had to go to the bathroom, but was too late in getting up on time to realize that until it happened, and because of that, she had another accident. Which unfortunately resulted in her crying, and throwing a huge fit over it.

As for the final hour, Rainbow Dash got a small bruise on her tummy from when Pinkie lashed out at her from having another accident. And with that, Pinkie Pie realized what she had just done, instantly apologized, and then Rainbow began crying regardless because it hurt so much that the apology didn’t even matter… .

Eventually, every pony is calm again, and are now asleep in their respective beds because it’s nighttime.

However, before the night could really end, Flurry Heart woke up slightly with a whine, and then sleepily flew to Sombra and nuzzled up to him whilst saying; “sowwy bout da bad day an night… . We no mean it… .” Sombra sighs, then says; “I’ll deal with whatever happened tonight in the morning… . For now, assume that you’re not in trouble, and I’ll try my best to not go rough on y’all with the punishments next time. Okay… ?” Flurry Heart nodded, then said; “owkay… .” and then laid her head down to fall asleep. Sombra did also, and turned to fall asleep as well… .

And with that, the night is calm once more, and their day is about to begin all over again in the morning… .

Chapter Six: An Interesting Day

The sun has arisen in the Crystal Empire. The sunlight reflecting on the crystals as it rose to the sky… . Quite surprising that it hasn’t blinded anyone yet.

Regardless, if it had, then no one would actually live there… .

But enough of the background narrative. Back to the story!

“Mmm. M-mommy?” Rainbow Dash said sleepily. “A-are you there… ?” The others were stirring in their sleep as they’ve had a rough night… . And also because they don’t feel like waking up just yet even though it’s morning.

“W-where’s mommy??? I- I want her now… !” Rainbow began to whine, as she’s thinking that her mommy Windy Whistles was caring for her, even though that’s not the case here.

“Wh-what???” Rainbow Dash then realized that her mother isn’t here… . And that made her feel sad.

“I want my mommy!!!” And then Rainbow began to cry.

The others soon woke up, and then the infants started to cry too; especially Flurry Heart.

“Quiet!” Sombra shouted. This caused all the infants to stop crying, and looked at him with scared expressions.

Sombra then took a breath before stating; “that’s better… “ and then he slowly got up to get into a sitting position since he was still lying down on the bed.

“So… . Since last night was a total disaster… . What should I feed y’all for breakfast as a punishment?” The infants then started scratching their heads in thought, trying to come up with a solution to their predicament. “I’m waiting… “ Sombra replied impatiently.

Eventually, Rainbow Dash sighs, and then says; “maybe you feed us mashed veggies???” Sombra gave it a thought… and then replied, “I guess so… “ with a slight chuckle. “But how in the world am I gonna make that??? I don’t think there’s any ingredients to made a homemade version.”

Flurry Heart whimpered, raises one of her hooves sheepishly, and muttered; “I-I-I have mashed peas for food… .” Sombra sighs, chuckles a bit, then says; “that could work… “ before going to the kitchen with the foals following close behind him.

“Mmmm!” Rainbow said as she’s wincing at what she just ate. “Dis tastes bad Fwurry… . What is dis… ?” Flurry Heart was gonna respond, but was trying her best to not barf as she’s got a spoonful of mashed peas in her mouth, and then swallowed it whole.

“Mashed peas… “ Sombra responded while scooping another spoonful of the stuff. “You suggested it. Flurry just happens to still have some left over from when she was a toddler… .”

Before the infants could feel like that they’re gonna barf, thinking that they were eating expired baby food, Sombra hastily stammered; “b-but I checked the dates! Don’t worry!” The infants then breathed a sigh of relief, and swallowed their fill… before wincing and whining afterwards because expired or not, the food still tasted nasty to them.

Few minutes later at the Crystal Castle hallways… .

“Now, before we do anything else to further y’all’s punishments… , do any of y’all need anything before we go to Flurry Heart’s room to do so???” The foals looked to be thinking of something, but couldn’t soon after and shook their heads no in unison. “Okay then… . Let’s go to the room.” The foals soon followed him to the room before the room’s door was closed.

Sombra then placed each of the foals on Flurry’s bed, and then said this: “now then… . Since you three are still in trouble… , what do you think that we should do next for y’all’s punishments??? Hmmm… ? What do you girls have to say for yourselves… ?” The foals all shuffled while sitting on the bed due to the situation, before Rainbow Dash raised her hoof, and suggested; “maybe we do nap time???” Sombra sighs, then says; “I wish… . But since you three clearly just ate, you foals are gonna have a lot of energy now… . Which basically meant you can’t nap if you’re all energized… . Anything else?” Pinkie was gonna respond, but heard a loud growling coming from her belly, and then began to whine.

Sombra sighs, knowing what’s gonna happen, and then says; “I’m guessing that those veggies are working wonders on you huh???” Pinkie Pie looked at Sombra with a slight mad expression, and then replied with; “n-not funny… .” Sombra chuckled, and then responded with; “probably a little… .” Pinkie Pie then groans, and then just let it all out with a big fart noise. Once that was done, Pinkie Pie sighed with relief that she pooped herself. Luckily for Pinkie she was wearing a diaper. If she wasn’t, then that would’ve been a huge mess to clean up. Soon after that, the entire room erupted into laughter because it sounded hilarious, and also that they found the situation hilarious too.

Eventually, Sombra clapped his shadow hands together to rub them against each other, and then says; “let’s get ya changed… . That fair?” Pinkie Pie nodded, and then raises her hooves in the air.

Few hours and a bath time later… .

“So… . What do you foals wanna do before bed??? Any suggestions?” Sombra is apparently looking at the three of them, seeing that they’re either sleepy, or might have a second burst of energy. Rainbow Dash then looked up, then said; “can you sweep wit us??? Pwease… ?” Rainbow then started to yawn. Sombra sighs, then says; “and just why would I wanna do that??? You three are my enemies… . So what makes you think that I wanna do that?” All three of the foals started yawning, and looks up at Sombra with sleepy eyes. Sombra then sighs again, then says; “fine! But no farting… . Got it?” Pinkie Pie then chuckled weakily, says; “no promises… .” and then began to pass out while snoring softly. The other two followed suit and began to fall asleep.

Knowing that he’ll regret this in the morning, Sombra said to himself; “here we go again… .” before climbing into the bed, and starting to fall asleep too.

Chapter Eight: A Surprising Development

Loud footsteps can be heard from the castle’s hallway, getting louder with each step, as the unknown creature is making its way to the baby princess’s room.

“W-w-w-w-w-w-what’s… th-th-th-th-that… ?!” Rainbow Dash said, shivering from sheer fear and terror.
Sombra sighs, then says, “I don’t know… .” He then eventually stands up before saying; “but if anything’s gonna hurt y’all, then they’re gonna have to go through me… .” Sombra then got into a battle ready stance, determination in his face. The infant fillies look up to him in awe; knowing that their sitter is gonna protect them… surprisingly with no fear in his eyes… . Feeling determined too, they got in front of Sombra, and looked towards the door in a battle ready stance as well; determined looks in their eyes as they face their soon to be adversary behind the door.

Few minutes ago… .

“Ugh… my head… .” Cadence said, wobbling and having one of her own hooves to her head. “Why’d you talk me into skydiving off of a bridge in Canterlot??? That hurt.” Shining Armor, chuckling nervously with a blush and smile, turned to respond to his beloved wife, “I’m really sorry… . I mean… to me… the bridge seemed way high up in my opinion… . Didn’t think it’d be the exact same level as the bridge in Ponyville… . Hehehe… .” Cadence sighs; completely exhausted, and then leaned against the front door before saying; “let’s just hope Sombra and the others are okay… . I’d hate to see them in any other condition that isn’t good… like ours… .” Shining chuckled, then said; “yeah… me too… .” After that, both of the couple opened the doors, and entered with a crash since the door was stuck, and they had to kick it open. But soon after that, something fell on both of their heads, causing both of them to fall onto the ground. After a few seconds, they both got up, and roared out in pain. And then after that, they took big heavy stomps to their daughter’s door to tell her that they’re hurt, and that they need to search her room for the medicine cabinet key that they’ve hidden in their daughter’s room somewhere.

Back in Flurry Heart’s bedroom… .

“Ready?” Sombra said as the noises are getting closer to the bedroom door. “Ready!” The three fillies said as they’re currently armed with plushies and pillows, ready to face any threat.

Soon… the door opened up, and the royal couple went inside. However, Sombra and the others didn’t knew that it was them, and then once the door was opened, they blindly charged, and pummeled them with their weapons. Sombra however had a harder weapon, which was a wooden bat in Flurry Heart’s toy chest. Reason being is that Shining wanted to play ball with his daughter, and his daughter agreed! But eventually it grew out of favor after some shattered windows, and an angry mom’s look. So it was kept inside the chest to be forgotten for all time… . Metaphorically speaking.

Flurry Heart is saying “sorry” repeatedly at both of her injured parents, while the other three ponies are currently bandaging them up.

“So uh… . Did you guys have fun together??? Ow.. .” Sombra looked to Shining Armor, and then responded to his question with, “we did hehe… . Sorry if we beat you. We’ve thought you two were either intruders, or monsters… . Let alone both.”

Cadence chuckled, albeit with a cough and a pained expression, and then replied to Sombra’s answer with; “it was fine… . Not too great, but alright… .” “That’s good… “ Sombra replied back. “That’s alright… .” After that, he finished up bandaging the royal couple, and stepped back to give them some room.

Once the couple were partially healed, they started leaning up, Shining Armor thanked Pinkie, Rainbow, and Sombra for watching over the house, and then Cadence paid them for their troubles… . Obviously they didn’t pay Flurry Heart since she doesn’t know much about money just yet. Let alone its value.

Soon after everything’s said and done, the trio left, and then the royal family have the house to themselves again… . Albeit with a few cracks since Flurry’s tantrum has left some damage that isn’t quite fixed yet… .

And with that, the story ends here… .

See ya!

Prologue: A Royal Rumble

Flurry Heart is in the castle’s front doorway with King Sombra.

Now, a lot of ponies would question this… .

Questions such as “why is he here? He should be dust by now!” Or, “why did the Royal Couple decide to have an infamous villain watch over their precious, innocent, and most importantly, impressionable child?!” Which basically brings us to this!

“So uh… . You feeling okay about this???” Sombra asked, looking at his responsibility for the night. Flurry Heart, coming out of shock, responded with a dejected “no… “ and then went back into the castle. Sombra follows close behind before shutting the doors to the front of the castle.

Sombra sighs while the both of them were approaching Flurry’s bedroom, and then starts to ramble on like this. “If it’s any consolation, your two aunts, Celestia and Luna, have tasked me with this because I’m in parole. What it is exactly, don’t ask please. I’ve been through worse trying to find out what it’s all about… . Not to mention I’ve been caught up with details and whatnot due to Luna being a chatterbox. Why did I say that? Again, don’t ask. It’s making me uncomfortable just thinking back on it already… .” Flurry just sighed before closing her bedroom door with a slam to it. Sombra opened it, and entered before doing the same because he’s really not in the mood for basically anything at this point… . Aside from avoiding going back to being dust of course.

Many hours went by and nothing interesting happened. The only “interesting” thing that happened was Flurry Heart throwing a temper tantrum because her blocks just wouldn’t stay upright, and kept falling. So because of that, she went ballistic, tossed her block tower against the wall, causing it to shatter, and then began screaming with rage until lying down on the ground, sobbing softly to herself.

And as for King Sombra, he was passed out throughout the whole thing on Flurry Heart’s bed because he was so exhausted trying to stay up so he could watch over his oppressor’s niece per the conditions of his parole. What it is exactly is unknown and unclear… . But hey, he saw a chance to not get caught, and went for it! Albeit much to the royal sister’s dismay.

Many more hours went by (since Sombra arrived very early in the morning when the story began), and this happened.

“So.. um… . Care to explain how that happened?” Sombra asked as he and Flurry Heart are looking up at two broken pieces of ceiling on top of them by the castle entrance hallway, by the front door.

To make this short, Flurry’s tantrum equals crack in the bedroom wall, which led to the front door hallway; breaking two big pieces of ceiling in half, and having it stay there in the ceiling due to stability, or something… . However what is also known is that one big crash or sound would have those two ceiling pieces fall on top of someone, or something if it or they enter the castle very noisily.

“Not exactly no… .” Was Flurry Heart’s response, before looking uncomfortable, and replying with a bounce; “but can we hurry this up? I’m starving… .” Sombra sighs, not liking how his responsibility is basically whining for food, and then replied with; “just quit your whining, and then I’ll get ya something to eat… . Got it?” Flurry nodded, and jumped up and down while having her hooves up in the air. Sombra just chuckles and leaves to the kitchen, with Flurry Heart following as she doesn’t wanna get left behind.

Once at the kitchen, Sombra goes to make Flurry Heart a simple cheese and lettuce sandwich (since obviously ponies never eat meat), and then squirts a bit of mayo into it before closing it and giving Flurry Heart her food, while he goes to make his own sandwich, this time with more complex ingredients.

Flurry just looked at it in disgust, and then started to take a bite out of it before her face scrunched up with disgust as she apparently doesn’t like mayo. But considering the fact her parents did this to her the first time they introduced mayo to her, she decided making a fuss regardless of whether it was her parents watching over her or not wasn’t worth it, and then began to continue eating the sandwich.

Soon or later, Sombra sat down and began eating his own sandwich, which consisted of hay, lettuce, onions, green bell peppers, and some mayo.

Flurry looked at his sandwich, scrunched her face again, and then looked to Sombra before asking; “why do you like mayo??? It’s disgusting.” Sombra chuckled to this, and replied; “It’s not disgusting, it’s delicious. Why? You don’t like mayo?” Flurry shook her head no and replied back; “I no like it… . Ever since mommy and daddy fed me some when I was little… .” Sombra chuckles a bit, then says; “eh… you’ll get used to it.” Before taking another bite out of his sandwich. Flurry Heart sighs, thinking that maybe he’s got a point, and then continues eating as well.

After that was done, both ponies placed their plates in the sink, and went back to the castle’s bedroom; as the royal couple told the both of them to never leave the castle as it would either cause a panic or a riot to see King Sombra again.

Few hours later…

“Wow am I glad that you had a can in there for in case… hehe… .” Sombra said jokingly, yet also sheepishly as he realized that what he did was wrong, and now he’s paying the price for it. What’d he do wrong? Here’s what happened… .

“I told you I hate mayo… “ Flurry said before her cheeks puffed up, and then she leaned into the trash can again before she started hurling again. Luckily it wasn’t shown that she was barfing from where Sombra was at. Bad news is… the trashcan had no trash bags (since obviously there were no such thing as one in the my little pony universe), and that’s gonna prove to be a big problem for Sombra since he’s gonna have to clean it all up.

Eventually Flurry Heart lied down on the floor so that way she’ll hopefully recover from her nausea. Hopefully… .

Sooner or later Sombra got up and began the process of sterilizing and cleaning up everything for in the case Flurry’s barf had something infectious inside it. Afterwards, Sombra got back into the bedroom, and picked up Flurry Heart for a bath.

Once Flurry was in the bath, Sombra washed his hooves (or shadow hands), and then went back to begin bathing Flurry Heart. However, before he could start, Flurry Heart looked up at him, and asked; “do you think that I’m a bad kid???” Sombra paused while getting out the bottle of bath soap, and then replied with; “uh… no… ? Heh.. why would you think that??? I don’t know much about you… . Aside from not liking mayo to the point where you’d barf.” Flurry Heart shivered to that reply, and said; “please… don’t mention that moment again… . I don’t wanna think about it anymore… . It’s making me feel uncomfortable.” Sombra nodded, said; “fair enough… “ and then squirts some bath soap onto his shadow hands before rubbing them together, and began the process of bathing Flurry Heart; albeit having her shiver again because she was feeling uncomfortable. Not just cuz Sombra is bathing her. But also the fact that he mentioned the moment when Flurry Heart got sick in the trashcan in her room because she hated mayo.

“So uh… you tired yet???” Sombra was asking that because both of them are currently lying on Flurry’s bed, just staring up at the ceiling. Flurry Heart responded with a “no… “ and then whined a bit before climbing on top of King Sombra’s chest. Normally, she would never do this… . But considering the fact that she knew that if she’s not asleep by the time her mom and dad get home… she’ll be in trouble for not being asleep. So because of that, she’s feeling cranky, and is trying to do whatever she knows how in order to calm herself down… and such.

After a few more minutes passed, Sombra said; “I give up… “ and stands back up from the bed. “Let’s just try something that’ll help you sleep.” Sombra blushed to this, and asked; “do you by any chance wanna do something a little childish before bed???” Confused, Flurry leaned up against her bed frame to look at him, and asked; “what do you mean???” Before starting to climb off her bed. Sombra cleared his throat before asking; “do you want some milk to drink or something???” Flurry Heart snickered a bit, then asked; “how’s that childish???” Sombra just rubbed the back of his before making a cradling motion with his hooves.

Now realizing what he meant, Flurry Heart giggled, then said; “I don’t have a baby bottle anymore… . I’m six!” Sombra then chuckled a bit, then held out his shadow hands as a gesture to say “my bad”, or something along those lines… . Flurry chuckled at that, but blushes, and then said; “however… . I wouldn’t mind a bedtime story… . I’m only a kid after all… . R-right???” Sombra chuckles, then says, “course. Cozy Glow wanted the same thing too you did when she’s with us! But… now that she’s a stone statue like the others… . Not anymore… .”

Flurry Heart sighs to this, starting to feel and now… . Suddenly she gets an idea, and asked; “well why don’t you tell me how you managed to care for her??? I’m kinda curious.” Sombra chuckles, then says; “you sure you wanna hear this story??? It’s pretty rough at first… .” Flurry chuckles, then says; “I can handle it… . I got hurt twice yesterday! Right before you got hewre… . So I can handle myself!” Sombra chuckles at that, then says; “fair enough… “ before parting beside him while he’s sitting on the bed. “Now cmon! It’s getting late.” And with that, the little princess flew to sit beside Sombra, and snuggled close to him while looking at him to tell the story. Sombra snickered, before clearing his throat to begin his story… .

The royal parents got back and have found the place to be quiet. Too quiet… . Thinking that Sombra escaped with their daughter, they got out the weapons that were on the wall that was used for decoration, and then rushed into Flurry Heart’s bedroom. What they found there stunned them to their core… .

“Huh… “ Cadence said in shock. “I honestly never knew that Sombra could do something like this… . It seems… .” “Out of character.” Shining said abruptly, cutting off his wife’s sentence. “I still can’t believe that he’s mama he’s to not harm our daughter… hehe… . Aww darn… ! And I really wanted to pummel him too… . I was just asking for it!”

Both Sombra and Flurry Heart got up abruptly, and then looked to the royal couple with an annoyed look before Sombra began with, “can’t you two just chat about pummeling me some other time… ? I was asleep!” Flurry Heart responded with; “yeah and so was I!” Before throwing one of her pillows at Shining Armor.

Shining Armor sighs, and then says; “sorry honey… . You can go back to sleep now.” Flurry Heart whined, then said; “but I can’t no more… . I don’t feel like it… .” Sombra sighs heavily, and then says; “me too… . So thanks a lot!” Both of the royal couple blushed to this, then Shining Armor asked; “wanna hear a good story???” Both Sombra and Flurry looked at each other, before looking back at the couple before Sombra asked, “what story… ?” Before raising an eyebrow as a sign of caution. Shining Armor smirked, then began with; “the story of a lifetime!” Before beginning his story.

Soon afterwards, everyone was asleep, and no one was harmed!

The end… .

Chapter Seven: A Not so Pleasant Series of Events

Sombra and the foals were sleeping nice and peacefully… , despite it being morning already. Overall, things are starting off pretty nicely for once! Least until a bad smell starts to permeate in the air.

Smelling something horrid, Sombra woke up, saw that Rainbow’s behind was right on his nose, and then jerked up and away from Rainbow Dash while covering his nose. “Oh that’s horrid!” Sombra thought to himself. “What did I feed these fillies?!” Rainbow Dash however was just babbling to herself, and wiggling in her sleep. Soon after that, Sombra left to go get some supplies to change her; especially a mask so he couldn’t smell the dirty diaper.

Eventually, the rest of the ponies woke up and were stretching.

“Awake already?” Sombra said as he’s using one of the baby wipes to clean his shadow hands. “That’s a bit surprising… . Considering that you lil ones are basically able to sleep for an extremely long time.

Flurry Heart responded by throwing a pillow at him. “Fair point.” Sombra said with a sigh while putting Rainbow Dash down from the changing table.

So… what now?” Rainbow Dash asked. “No clue… “ Sombra said while in thought. “I just thought y’all were gonna automatically turn back to normal or something… .” Pinkie shrugged, then said; “meh… . I wike being a baby!” The ponies chuckled, then Rainbow said; “ya you do… ! You awe a baby no matter how gwown up you awe!” Pinkie made a sad face, then replied with a whine to her voice; “you mean… !” Sombra chuckled again, and then said; “hey hey, easy… . Now then… . Anyone know what they wanna do now??? Aside from hurting each other of course… .”

Rainbow Dash began to think, before her tummy began growling. Sighing, Sombra said; “how about you kids don’t get picky this time, and maybe I won’t hurt y’all. Emotionally to put it bluntly… . Is that okay?” Not wanting to get yelled at, the foals all nodded and raised their hooves. Snickering and lowering himself down, Sombra began to say; “y’all are so weird… .” Before beginning to laugh. Giggling, the foals just crawled on top of Sombra’s back, and awaited for their trip to begin. So with that, Sombra got up, and began walking to the kitchen with the foals on his back.

The foals are all doing their own separate things while Sombra is taking a nap on the Crystal Empire living room couch. The reason why is because he was feeling tired from having to babysit the foals, and thought that he deserved some well earned rest. And not to mention that the foals had made a mess again by throwing mashed food everywhere because it’s fun. And not because they hate the food.

“Mmm… . I miss him… .” Rainbow Dash said, frowning. Flurry and Pinkie Pie are looking at her with concern and a raised eyebrow, looked at each other, and then Pinkie asked; “you heaw it twoo? Or am I a baba stiww?” Flurry nodded, then replied with; “auntie wainbow no see baba wit us on da sova??? He wit us now!” Pinkie then gestured for her to quiet down, while Sombra was moving around in the background in his sleep. Pinkie then replied in a hushed whisper; “I know… . But pwease quiet… ! You wake him, and make auntie Wainbow cwy!” Flurry gasped while covering her mouth with her hooves, and then nodded in agreement.

Rainbow then looked to Pinkie, and asked; “it okay iv I wake him??? I wan him to pway wit us… !” Pinkie shushed Rainbow before replying in a hushed tone; “he sweeping now… ! He pway wit us soon! Pwomise!” Rainbow whined, but nodded in agreement, since she knew that Sombra might get cranky if he were to be awoken from his slumber.

creak

“W-wat wa dat???” Rainbow asked, scared. Pinkie and Flurry soon huddled together against Rainbow, before Pinkie responded with a whine at the end, “I-i-I dow know… . B-b-but it scawy… !” Flurry Heart was scared too, hugging her aunt Pinkie so she’ll feel less frightened than she is now.

creak

“M-me scawed… !” Rainbow Dash with a whine and whimper. Flurry and her aunt Pinkie then decided to hug Rainbow because they’re frightened to the max now.

Soon they heard what sounded like a growling sound… . Or maybe a beast snoring; just staying idle and waiting for its prey to make a mistake! The imagination of the three foals knows no bounds!

“Why is Baba not awake… ?! I miss him… !” Rainbow Dash said; referencing to King Sombra. “I dow know… but I scawed… !” Pinkie replied with a whine.

Just then, all three heard what sounded like a monster that’s about to eat them. With that, they all screamed and began crying.

“Easy… “ Sombra said while stretching. “It’s just me… . Relax… . No monster is gonna eat you… . Aside from me, hehe… . Okay I kid, I don’t eat babies for dinner.” All three then stopped crying instantly, but Rainbow Dash replied back with a whine to her voice, “b-b-but the noises… .” Sighing, Sombra replied back; “it’s just the castle… ! Old castles and other old buildings make noises like that because they apparently can’t stay standing any longer… . So if you’re afraid of spooky monsters or whatever, then just think about me, and I’m sure that it’ll resolve everything… .” “But how… ?!” Was Flurry Heart’s response. Sighing heavily this time; running out of patience, Sombra then shouted; “because I’m more frightening than anything else! Now pipe down, or I’ll really turn into a monster… . Got it?!” The foals all nodded, and then started to whimper.

Growling now; Sombra said to himself, “can’t this day get any worse… ?!” Just then, out of nowhere, a loud roar emanated from the castle hallways. Realizing what he just said, Sombra then said to himself; “I should really keep my mouth shut… ,” before the foals all began to cry.
