An anthology of short stories that I was inspired by this particular episode

This anthology is a collection of short stories I thought about for this episode. This episode is something special to me as I find it so unique I could make hundreds of stories out of it, but I don't have the time or resources to do so. So instead I decided to write a bunch of short stories which are all interesting and have a unique take on the episode, and they all have to deal with transformation, mind manipulation, and age regression.

Story one: Princess Celestia's Foal - Rarity Age Regression / tribe change- part 1

Author's Note

I apologize to anyone reading. I am not good at one-shots and thought the ending was rushed. This story is too adorable, and I want to drag it out, so I decided to change it to multiple parts for each story. I think it'll be better this way as it helps me flesh out things more.

Story one: Princess Celestia's Foal - Rarity Age Regression / tribe change- part 1

Rarity was confused; where was she? What was going on? She was starting to realize that there was something wrong with her limbs as they were chubbier and thicker than before. On top of that, everything was bigger than her, and she felt like her body wasn't responding to what she wanted it to do. The mare looked over and saw Spike standing over her and looking downward with a worried look as he asked, "are you ok?"

Rarity was confused as she stared at the purple dragon standing over her and said, "I don't know?"

But what came out of her mouth was incoherent babbling, and she blinked, seeing that Spike understood nothing she said. It is evident that something was very wrong; she was standing on her legs, squeaking, and it was somewhat difficult to stand on all fours. Rarity then squealed as she felt two new appendages attached to her body. It was sudden, but the mare started to flap her wings and realized that they were indeed making little flapping noises, and she was coming off the ground!

The mare was astounded to see that she was now a few feet off the floor, and she was somewhat surprised; then, out of nowhere, Spike grabbed her and said, "Hey, easy there."

The mare squeaked; having the two purple claws wrapped around her, she flapped her wings trying to escape, but the drake held on as he took the unicorn and hugged her. "Hey, easy there, it's ok."

Rarity was still confused by everything but seeing how small and chubby her body was and realized she was a foal! And not just any foal; she was a baby alicorn!"

Upon this realization, the little filly began to wiggle and squirm out of Spike's claws, and she clumsy flapped her wings sailing right to a mirror, and there she flew right into it, and Rarity gasped in surprise at what she saw back. She was looking at her reflection, seeing that she was indeed a baby alicorn with her plump round face, pudgy belly, chubby limbs, a small lock of purple mane over her head, and stubby tail. But the significant difference between what she remembered seeing herself from baby photos was that she had two giant white-coated wings and a giant horn on her head which was much larger proportional to the rest of her body. But there was something else that was interesting, seeing that her eyes had a greenish hue in them.

Rarity then heard someone coming from behind, and she turned her head to see Spike turned with cheeks flushing red. He seemed somewhat embarrassed as he said, "let me explain."

He knelt to her level and said, "Listen, I found this book that I thought would help you get inspired for Foal Appreciation day. I didn't know what was going to happen, and after you read it, you had this green glow in your eyes, and then you shouted, "I want to be an alicorn princess! To inspire foals all over Ponyville!" after that, you poofed into a puff of smoke, and you were suddenly turned into a…well…a baby alicorn."

Rarity blinked, seeing from Spike's worried expression that he wasn't lying and that she was indeed a baby alicorn. But the question plaguing her mind was, what should she do now?

Spike's expression said it all as he whispered, "um, maybe we should put you in diapers?"

"Buck, no!" Rarity snapped back as she shook her head as she wasn't inclined to wear such infantile garments. Spike, of course, couldn't understand what the baby alicorn was saying. He trailed a claw through the spines on his head and said, "you don't want to have accidents all over your boutique, do you?"

The fashionista grumbled angrily under her breath as she looked around her boutique with her new infantile mind. Everything looked so colorful and cute; she lit her horn as the green aura filled her mind and horn. She started transforming all the outfits into baby garments, from onesies to frilly dresses, and tons of diapers exploding all over the place. It was all rather cute as she dove into the pile of clothes and picked out a cute pair of purple-colored diapers and a frilly purple dress. She then flew into the air looking over at Spike, who was now somewhat worried, as he waved his claws and shouted, "Hey, come down here!"

Rarity pondered something, maybe it was her infantile mind, but she didn't want to go down! She was so happy being a cute little filly and wanted to show off being an adorable baby alicorn to the rest of Ponyville!

She then flew off through the air and headed out through the door and towards the town!

The second Rarity flew out the door, she looked around to see tons of ponies walking about with their foals enjoying the various activities set up for them. She had no idea what she wanted to do first!? Her infantile mind was racing, wishing to do so many things! The fashionista then saw Rainbow Dash flying in the air, and she seemed to be busting clouds, and she flew right over and gave the pegasus a giant hug. Rainbow Dash was somewhat surprised seeing the little filly as she said, "woah!? easy there."

She looked downward as Rarity peered up and babbled, "hey, Rainbow!"

The pegasus got a little sheepish and said, "Hey squirt, this is cute and all, but I'm not your mom."

Rarity rolled her eyes and scoffed, seeing she knew Rainbow Dash wasn't her mom, as she pointed a hoof at her belly and shouted, "come on, Rainbow Dash, I'm Rarity!"

Rainbow Dash heard more incoherent babbling, but she heard something and looked her over; then her eyes went wide. She must've just noticed that the foal had a horn and a pair of wings as she exclaimed, "woah!? You're an alicorn foal!"

The filly nodded as Rainbow Dash gasped, "wait, don't tell me your Princess Celestia's baby!?"

Rarity groaned as she dragged a hoof over her face and, for a second, was going to try to explain what was happening. But then paused, seeing maybe she could drag this out and have some fun! She lit her horn, and a cute little smiling sun appeared on her rump as she showed off her cutie mark.

"Wow!? That has to mean you must be Celestia's foal!?" Rainbow cried in surprise and held the foal close to her chest. "Come on; I'll get you to mommy, ok?"

Rarity gave a few nods as Rainbow Dash placed the filly onto her back as the daredevil shouted, "hold on tight!"

The little pegasus filly held her friend's mane tight and squealed as Rainbow Dash flew off through the air and headed straight towards Canterlot.

Princess Celestia was sitting in her garden relaxing as most ponies were out enjoying Foal Appreciation Day, so for once in a long time, she was taking a much-needed break. The princess then saw what appeared to be a rainbow streak flying across the sky, and that was when she noticed that it was Rainbow Dash her first thought was that Twilight and her friends needed her help. But as Rainbow landed near her, and spotted the small white-coated alicorn filly on her back. Celestia was somewhat surprised with her eyes lighting up as an alicorn hadn't been born in over a thousand years as she shouted, "am I going crazy? Or Is that a baby alicorn sitting on your back!?"

"Y…yeah… it is..." Rainbow Dash stammered, looking somewhat surprised. "I thought she was yours!?"

Princess Celestia was going to say something, but the little flew off Rainbow's back and right into the princess's chest. The princess was astonished by the filly's actions, and her heart skipped a beat with the little filly nuzzling into her. She knew, of course, this mysterious little filly wasn't her foal, but something was making her unable to say "no" she turned her attention to Rainbow Dash and saw that she had to give the pegasus an explanation of some sort and said, "well, no she isn't my foal, but I'm sure we're related in some way?"

The princess of the sun then placed the filly onto her back, adding, "regardless if she's mine or not, I would love to babysit the little one while we find out who her parents are."

Rainbow nodded, seeming somewhat reluctant to leave as she flew over, gave the filly a little ruffle, and said, " Well, if you need help finding her folks, let me know, ok?"

"I will, and thank you for getting this little one to me," Princess Celestia added. The princess alicorn flew over towards her palace, seeing she now had a baby alicorn to take care of, and she also needed to find out who her parents were. Were there other alicorns out there? The idea of other alicorns being around made her heart flutter with anticipation, seeing that she always thought herself, her sister, and Princess Cadance were the last alicorns alive. Regardless, her first priority was to care for this little one; everything else could come later.

While Princess Celestia made her way through the castle, Rarity was over-excited being on top of Princess Celestia's back; she was bouncing up and down in excitement as she was happy to be treated like a royal baby alicorn for a day! Sadly there were no ponies around, so she didn't get all the attention she wanted. They eventually made it to an old nursery. The place looked rather drab with an old crib, the paint on the walls peeled off, and some old teddy bears strewn about.

Princess Celestia's had a sheepish look on her face as she admitted, "I apologize, but this is Prince Blueblood's old nursery, and he hasn't needed it for years."

Rarity rolled her eyes, seeing she was a princess alicorn; there was no way she would stay here while being an alicorn filly. Her eyes lit up as her horn started to shoot out beams of green energy. She turned the blue paint into a bright purple with sparkling diamonds on the walls; she then turned her attention to the crib and transformed it into gold with a thick fluffy mattress covered in purple baby blankets. A changing table appeared stocked with fancy purple diapers, heated wipes, and containers full of sweet-smelling foal powder. Then the center of the room turned into a cute little tea party set with a violet table made out of plastic, with fancy fluffy white teddy bears wearing suits and some in purple dresses sitting in chairs around it. Princess Celestia's eyes were wide, seeing the room transform in front of her as she whispered, "Wow, you have a lot of magical talent for a foal?"

"Yeah, I do," Rarity babbled proudly as she crossed her hooves over her chest with a proud smile Princess Celestia floated over the filly down to the changing table, and the fashionista squeaked, knowing her diaper would be changed. But Celestia cleaned her up without a word and had this cute motherly smile on her face. Rarity was even impressed with the diaper change, with her rump being powdered thoroughly and a fresh diaper strapped firmly around her waist.

"Oh, you're so polite and quiet," Celestia commented with a suspicious look; she then levitated the filly to get a closer look, and Rarity felt as if she was about to be exposed. She then sneezed, sending a blast of magic at the princess, who blinked. Nothing seemed to change except that Princess Celestia's cheeks started to flush pink, and she seemed to become rather squeamish as she said, "I think somepony is hungry?"

Rarity was confused: what was the princess talking about? Then the princess levitated the little filly as she laid down on the ground and opened up her legs. Rarity's cheeks flushed red, knowing she was about to nurse the princess of the sun. After her meal, the little filly was tucked under the sheets in her new crib, and the princess kissed her on the forehead as she sang her a lullaby. Princess Celestia's voice was so soft and lovely; as Rarity listened to her sing. Eventually, the little filly became rather sleepy as the little alicorn could feel her eyelids growing heavy. She slowly drifted off to sleep as she wished under her breath that she could be Princess Celestia's daughter.

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

Story one: Princess Celestia's Foal part 3

Later that evening, Spike was walking through the streets of Canterlot after picking up some foal supplies for Celestia, mostly just diaper-changing supplies. The young drake looked somewhat nervous as he was with Twilight, who had a few presents stacked on her back. Spike was still nervous as he hadn't been able to tell her the truth about Rarity as she thought that Princess Celestia really was adopting an orphaned baby alicorn. Spike knew he had to reveal the truth eventually, but he just needed to know when.

Twilight turned to face him as he toddled along, and she must've noticed he was nervous and asked, "are you ok? You seem tense."

"What me tense!?" Spike laughed and threw a claw over the top of his spines. "I'm not tense; I'm just excited that we're meeting a baby alicorn, is all."

Twilight nodded in agreement and said, "yeah, me too; strange, I don't think there's ever been a recorded natural alicorn birth…maybe she's related to Princess Cadance?"

"Yeah, maybe…" Spike mumbled under his breath; he remained silent as he knew who the alicorn baby really was but kept that information to himself until he could find a good time to reveal what he knew.

The young drake was then escorted through the Canterlot palace, and the place was filled with light purple streamers, purple balloons, and confetti that covered the ground. Then there was a banner that read "Happy Baby Shower!" Twilight just stood there and gasped, "Oh my!"

There were tons of motherly mares, chilling, drinking punch; Celestia was sitting on her throne wearing a foal carrier with a bit of baby alicorn strapped around her chest. Spike immediately recognized the baby Rarity with her swirly purple mane and tail. Celestia turned to Twilight, and her face lit up into a bright smile, "Twilight!"

"Princess Celestia," the violet alicorn replied and bowed as the older alicorn trotted over and hugged her. "Oh, please forgo formalities this evening; let's celebrate my new daughter."

"Yes, I see!" Twilight exclaimed, somewhat astonished by seeing the baby alicorn up close. She kicked and cooed about in the carrier as Spike placed a claw over his face seeing he knew who she really was. He had to find a "polite" way to explain everything, but doing it here in the middle of a party filled with the princess' guests would be a bad idea.

"Oh, hello, Spike!" The princess exclaimed as she looked downward at him.

Spike squeaked instead of suddenly being addressed and quickly waved a hoof, "h…hello!"

"Hello!? Is that all you have to say?"

Celestia bent down to Spike's level and said with a smile, "oh, I'm so glad you're here! Do you want to say hi to my daughter?"

"Oh uh…sure!?" Spike replied with a somewhat unsure tone in his voice.

The young drake looked downward at the filly and waved a claw Rarity kicked and squealed at him. But since all that came out of her mouth was gibberish. He couldn't help but wonder if she was still there or was "Rarity" he knew was gone!?

Twilight looked around and said, "wow did you set all this up yourself?"

Celestia's cheeks flushed pink as she explained, "well…it was my sister Luna. I went out to get foal supplies, and when I returned, this was all here."

Spike and Twilight both let out an, "awww."

Twilight looked at the baby alicorn as cute. Her body was rather chubby, with a small twirl of violet mane and a small curly tail popping out from her diaper. She had wide blue eyes and drool coming down her chin. The violet alicorn couldn't help but pinch her cheek and cooed, "what are you going to name the little cutie?"

Princess Celestia was somewhat confused as she tapped a hoof to her chin and asked, "Oh!? Well, I thought we could do that later; I'm still not sure yet."

"Oh, there you are, dear sister! Are you enjoying your baby shower!?" Luna exclaimed.

Celestia turned to Luna, flying over towards her, and hugged her. "Oh yes, thank you for doing this for me!"

Luna nuzzled her and cooed, "oh please, it's no problem at all; I still can't believe you didn't tell me that you had a daughter!?"

Princess Celestia squeaked as she looked around to see that her guests were all snickering. With sweat coming down her brow, she quickly said, "Um…Luna, she's not my daughter technically."

Luna looked down at the foal and tickled her belly, making the little filly squirm. After looking at her for a few more minutes, she scratched her mane and asked, "but she has so many similarities to your likeness!? Are you absolutely sure she's not yours?!"

Celestia rolled her eyes and said, "yes, sister, I'm sure I would remember if I gave birth."

Luna looked up and shrugged, then replied with a sigh, "well, I'm just making sure…oh well!"

The princess of the night then turned to her soldiers escorting her and said, "guards, please bring my sister her gift."

Princess Celestia gasped upon seeing a crib with beams and a cute purple mattress. The mobile overhead had little moons and stars in the crib, made by hoof and well crafted with fresh wood wafting. Princess Celestia was overwhelmed by the gift; her eyes were filled with tears as she cried, "oh sister, you didn't have to get me something?"

Princess Luna came over to her sister, wiped the tears with the rip of her wing, and exclaimed, "of course I did! If we were going to raise a baby alicorn, we better have everything need,"

Celestia's cheeks flushed pink, "oh, Luna." The two hugged, and this just made Spike feel even worse. How would he tell the princess that her foal was really Rarity now!?

The two then continued their time at the party as Rarity was being dawwed and given so much attention. But seeing Spike and Twilight made her feel self-conscious, especially about how guilty Spike looked. She was starting to realize this was going too far, but she had no way of telling Celestia who she really was.

As the party was wrapping up, Celestia clanked her glass getting everypony's attention; she then said, "good evening everypony, thank you for coming to my baby shower…despite this foal not being my biological daughter, that doesn't change the fact that since she'll be formally adopted by me."

This got a round of applause from the ponies surrounding the princess. Rarity was getting rather excited, bouncing up and down in her foal carrier. Princess Celestia popped a pacifier into her mouth and waited for the foal to calm down before continuing her speech. "Now, for the moment, you've all been waiting for what to name her?"

Before she could say anything, Spike shouted, "it's Rarity!"

"Rarity!? That's a lovely name Spike," Celestia chirped which made Twilight laugh as she slapped the drake on the back, "oh yes, of course, you would want her to name the baby Rarity."

Spike rolled his eyes and shouted, "of course not!" he slammed a claw seeing he had to confess what he knew as he said, "no, that baby…that baby is really Rarity!?"

Twilight blinked as she looked over at Rarity, who nodded. The violet alicorn was taken aback and said, "wait…" she looked over at the baby alicorn. The resemblance to her friend seemed to hit her rather suddenly, and she shouted, "Wait! Spike might be right!"

The baby alicorn squealed as she wrapped her wings around her, as Princess Celestia looked over at her. "Are you sure? How did she end up like this?"

Spike gulped as he explained, "well…you see, I uh…found a book in your old castle."

Celestia gasped upon hearing this and said. "Wait, was the book made of stone and had spikes on it?"

The young drake slowly nodded as Celestia looked downward, "I see…":

"Yeah, I gave it to Rarity to help her, but it regressed her into a baby alicorn."

Celestia gave a slight nod acknowledging the information but seemed hesitant. She then levitated the foal up to her face and said, "Rarity, if you can understand me, if that's really you, nod your head."

Rarity paused; the desire to be a princess alicorn could be raised by Princess Celestia herself. She could simply babble and kick about, acting like a typical foal. But then she would lose her life's work and friendships, and worse, Sweetie Belle would never forgive her for abandoning her. Rarity then looked up at Princess Celestia and gave a simple nod.

Everypony gasped as Celestia burst into tears and hugged the foal wrapping her wings around her as she cooed, "well, Rarity, I…I guess it's goodbye…."

Rarity couldn't help but whimper and cry, too, feeling so bad for deceiving the princess she was then placed down as Spike took the little foal and held her. "Shshhing" her as he took her to Twilight, who placed her onto her back. "Well, I apologize, Princess Celestia; we ruined your baby shower."

Princess Celestia shook her head "no," then said, "please, I rather we knew who this baby belonged to. And seeing she's your friend getting her back to normal is more important."

Rarity turned around, held out her hooves, and cried, "thank you, mama."

This made everypony daww as Celestia placed a heart over her chest, as a tear came to her eye. "Oh, it was my pleasure being your mother, Rarity, even if it was for a day."

Luna pouted, lowered her head, and grumbled, "awww, I wanted to be an aunt."

Princess Celestia gave her a pat on the back as she whispered, "you'll still be an aunt or even a mother one day; just be patient."

Everypony dawwed and clapped as Spike bowed asTwilight did the same, and then the two walked off together.

Back at Carousel Boutique, Rarity was stowing away all the baby clothes and diapers she created when she was an alicorn baby. She decided to keep the foalish articles of clothing as she planned to have a sale.

Spike then came through the store and said, "hey, Rarity!"

Rarity turned to face Spike and gave him a bright smile as she waved a hoof and exclaimed, "oh, hello, Spike!"

"Hey, I'm just checking on you," Spike replied squeamishly as he entered the boutique.

Rarity bowed and said, "I am doing well; I want to thank you for helping me."

She felt rather annoyed at herself as she admitted, "I have to confess, I did enjoy being a baby, and I was tempted to stay as a Princess Alicorn."

She then held a hoof to her chest and said, "but if that meant sacrificing who I am, it wasn't worth it."

"Right, it was because of that stupid book I found. I had Twilight stow it away for study." Spike replied with an assured tone.

Rarity ruffled his spins and said, "well, it was fun being a foal minus using diapers. I definitely don't wish to do that again," Spike snickered as she gave a sheepish cough, then continued, "would you mind helping me get all these baby clothes and diapers put away? I was planning to put them on sale tomorrow?"

"Yes, mam!" Spike exclaimed; he then went about and helped Rarity gather the articles of foal clothing and diapers along with her.
