Episode 14: Making a Foal Outta Me!

At Freedom Fighters Mansion, Sonic, Tails, MC and Sunny were cleaning up red glitter that was all over the living room. Twilight and Misty then came out of the dining room area.

"Okay, Misty," Twilight said. "Thank you for telling me everything you know about Opaline."

"Of course, Twilight," Misty said. She then sighed. "Again, I'm really sorry for what happened to Spike and Sparky."

"Hey, don't worry about it," Twilight said. "You'll be able to put it behind you." She then noticed the living room full of glitter. "Um, what's with all the glitter?"

Sunny sighed and said, "I was practicing my Alicorn Magic, training to use against Opaline's minions if they come, I accidentally turned the pool water into a pool full of glitter, a strong gust of wind blew in, and most of the glitter was blown into the living room.

"This is gonna take forever to clean up," Tails said.

"Maybe for you, Tails," Sonic said. "But for me and MC, it'll take about..." Then Sonic and MC used their super speed to clean up the entire living room, leaving a bunch of glitter in four garbage bags. "...a second."

"Wow," Misty said. "That really was fast." Just then, Hitch and Izzy walked into the living room.

"Hey, guys, have you seen Sparky anywhere?" Hitch asked. "Izzy and I can't find him anywhere."

"Oh, we had Smolder and Dulcy take him and Spike to the Dragon Lands for some dragon recovery after what happened at the Olympics," MC answered.

In the Dragon Lands, Spike, Sparky, Smolder, Dulcy, Garble, and Dragon Lord Ember were all sitting in a pool of lava, letting out sighs of relief.

Back in Freedom Fighters Mansion, MC was continuing his answer to Hitch.

"They'll be back in a couple of days," MC said.

"Are you sure it's okay for Sparky to be among dragons?" Hitch asked.

"Hey, he's been staying here with Smolder for the past couple of months," Sonic said. Just then, Pipp and Zipp came in.

"C'mon, Zipp," Pipp said. "Let me give you a facial. It's good to get rid of those nasty wrinkles."

Zipp groaned and said, "No way, Pipp. I'm not gonna let you do anything with my face." She then headed for the kitchen. She opened the fridge and sighed. "Besides, we're getting low on food."

"I was actually gonna head over to Costco for some grocery shopping anyway," MC said. "I could use the help."

"Of course, my king," Zipp said, smirking.

"It's Prince," MC said. "I don't officially become King until my eighteenth birthday. And I'm seventeen."

"Right," Zipp said. Then the two of them headed out.

Pipp sighed. She then saw who was left and smiled. "So, anypony else want to try this new facial I want to try?"

"Anything's better than doing what Opaline kept telling me to do," Misty said. "Why not?"

"Ooh hoo, you're gonna love it, Misty," Pipp said. "I guarantee it." In a small candle holder on the coffee table, there was some glitter filling it to the top.

In the dining area, Pipp was mixing in a bunch of ingredients into a bowl, humming while she was doing all the mixing. In the living room, Twilight was talking with Misty about her the blue unicorn's life.

"There's... not much I can remember before Opaline," Misty said. "All I know is that I got lost somewhere, and Opaline took me in. I'm not so sure if it's true or not, but she says that she believes that my parents abandoned me. After what Opaline had put me through, I'm pretty sure it was a lie."

"Yeah, I'm guessing so, too," Twilight said. "No way your parents would abandon you somewhere. That's Foal endangerment, which is a crime in Equestria."

"It is a crime everywhere, Twilight," Nicole said.

"Okay, good to know," Twilight said.

"Why would anypony just abandon their foal out in the middle of nowhere?" Izzy asked. "Even in Bridlewood, that's not allowed. It's Jinxie."

"What's Jinxie?" Misty asked.

"Bad luck," Izzy responded. "Unicorns in our time had become superstitious."

"Huh," Misty said. "Weird."

"I still found it hard to believe that all three pony tribes in the future were afraid of each other for no reason," Hitch said. He then thought of something. "You think it was Opaline at that time?"

"Well, Opaline did say she crumbled Twilight's Castle when MC was on top of it in the alternate timeline," Sunny said. "So, she must've been responsible for everypony not getting along in that time."

"Which probably led to the ponies fearing each other for no reason," Sonic said. "And probably had some crazy superstitions growing up."

"Tell me about it," Misty said. "At one time, I thought that Earth Ponies had laser eyes."

Tails laughed at that and asked, "Who do you think they are? Cyclops from X-Men?" That made the others, except Misty, laugh. Just then, Pipp came in with slices of cucumber.

"Okay, everyone!" Pipp said. "I need you all to put these cucumber slices over your eyes, not only for getting the wrinkles out of your eyelids, but to make sure that my face mask doesn't get into them."

"Oh, boy," Sonic said, a little annoyed. He then put the cucumber slices over his eyes. Twilight, Tails, Sunny, Hitch, Izzy and Misty did the same as Pipp walked away to get the face mask mix she was working on. When she was bringing it over, it was giving off a horrible scent, which made her gag.

"Okay, that is strong," Pipp said. She then noticed the candle holder full of glitter, and she smiled.

Over at the local Costco, MC and Zipp were picking up some groceries. Zipp was groaning about how she thought all the things Pipp found interesting was more annoying to her.

"C'mon, Zipp," MC said. "Clearly, not everything about Pipp is annoying to you. She's your sister, after all."

"Yeah, but... she keeps wanting me to try things that she's into," Zipp said. "My Mom was expecting me to be queen when clearly, I wasn't able to do anything I wanted to do as a filly."

"She was concerned about raising her first born to be the queen," MC said. "Even though your ancestor automatically thought that having the Pegasus Crystal meant whoever has it is royalty. How'd they even think that was how it works?"

"Even I don't know," Zipp said. "Six generations of royalty for nothing. What is royalty in Equestria?"

"Mainly, its the alicorns," MC said. "Unless you're biologically related or adopted by an Alicorn, you're Royalty. That's how it works in Equestria. Although, there is some... trouble when having royal status stripped."

"There was one pony who had their royal status stripped?" Zipp asked.

"There was Prince Blueblood," MC said. "He was ticked. He was so ticked, he hired two of Equestria's biggest scammers, the Flim Flam Brothers, to help him tear down the school that Sparkles had started before she became High Princess of Equestria."

"Really?" Zipp asked. "What happened?"

"They were thwarted by Smolder, Cream, Cheese and Lynol," MC said.

"Really?" Zipp asked. "They were taken down by a little rabbit girl and a Chao?"

"Get Cream and Cheese riled up enough, they're tougher than they look," MC said. "And if you think that Cream and Cheese are bad enough when angry, you should see Amy... from 40 yards away."

"With that hammer of hers?" Zipp asked. She then thought about it. "Okay, I see your point."

MC then grabbed a few boxes of cereal.

"Are you sure that's enough cereal?" Smolder asked.

"Do you see how much cereal Yona eats?" MC asked. "Sheesh, I keep wondering where she puts all that." Zipp then nodded in agreement.

"So, you think Misty is going to be okay, no longer working for Opaline, I mean?" Zipp asked.

"She spent most of her life under Opaline's control with no idea where she originally came from," MC said. "She's been through a lot." He then thought of something. "But still, I swear I've seen her somewhere before."

"And by before, you mean in one of those visions your mom kept giving you during your mission in Soleanna, which led to us meeting?" Zipp asked.

"It's a high probability," MC said. "But who knows? She could've been at the time around when you came back from the future, or at some other point in time."

"It might take you time to figure it out," Zipp said. "We should go check on her."

"Good idea," MC said. "Let's go check out." Then MC pushed the cart towards the check-out with Zipp following.

Back at Freedom Fighters Mansion, Pipp was coming out of the kitchen with drinks inside of pineapples. She was humming one of her songs from her original time.

"Okay, everyone," Pipp said. "I have drinks for all of you. How do you all feel so..." She passed Hitch, who was a baby, sitting on the dining room table. She then stepped back, turned her head, and looked at baby Hitch, who responded with babbling. Pipp gasped and asked, "Hitch?!" She then heard other baby voices coming from the living room.

She saw baby Twilight flying around and levitating things from the living room. Baby Sunny was sitting in her position, eating one of the cucumber slices. Baby Izzy and baby Misty were drawing on the walls. Baby Sonic was running around the house at super sonic speed with baby Tails flying behind him. Lucky all of them were wearing diapers.

Pipp screamed and asked, "What... have I done!?"

Pipp locked up the entire house to make sure none of her friends turned babies would get out. She then closed the curtains to make sure no one looks in.

"Okay, Pipp, just relax," Pipp said. "Just keep the babies inside." Just then, baby Sonic then rushed around Pipp's legs with a rope. Pipp then fell over. "Ow!" She then looked over and saw baby Sonic holding the end of the rope. "Sonic! Bad baby hedgehog! Give me that!" Pipp then tried grabbing the rope from baby Sonic, but baby Sonic ran away from Pipp, tightening the rope. "Ow!"

Pipp then started flying up so she wouldn't get tripped by baby Sonic. She then grabbed the rope and started pulling it. But it got caught on something. She thought it was Sonic before she saw that it was tied to one of the sofas.

"Really, Sonic? Really?" Pipp asked, a little annoyed. She was then hit in the head by something in baby Twilight's magic aura. It was a lamp. "Ow!" She then looked at Twilight with an angry expression. "Twilight!"

Twilight was levitating multiple stuff in her magic, amazed by what she was doing.

Pipp then looked around at all her friends turned babies, doing whatever they could do. Pipp was really worried that her friends were now out of control babies.

"Cloudpuff, help!" Pipp called out. Just then, Cloudpuff came in, barking. He then saw that all of Pipp's friends were now babies. "Cloudpuff, help me round up these babies!" Cloudpuff barked and tried helping out. But he was tackled by Baby Sonic, who giggled and started playing with Cloudpuff. "Sonic! No!"

Baby Sonic then launched Cloudpuff, who landed into the facial mix that Pipp had made. Just then, Maria came into the room, seeing Sonic, Tails, Twilight, Sunny, Hitch, Izzy and Misty as babies.

"What the heck is going on?!" Maria asked. Pipp looked at Maria with a worried look.

"Maria, help me!" Pipp said. "Our friends are fillies!" Just then, Sonic, Tails and Hitch crawled up to Pipp, all giving deadpanned expressions. "And foals!"

"Girls are fillies. Boys are colts," Maria said. "How did this happen?"

"I don't know!" Pipp said. "This is a total nightmare! What will MC and Zipp say when they get back?!"

"Pipp?! What is going on?!" came Zipp's voice, making Pipp freeze in shock. She turned around seeing MC and Zipp behind her.

MC looked at all the baby versions of their friends running around the place. He then asked, "Who's all been affected?"

"Twilight, Sunny, Izzy, Sonic, Tails and Misty," Pipp said.

"Where's Misty?" MC asked. Just then, the sound of baby Misty giggling came to their attention. They all looked up and saw Misty holding onto a sun hat, being levitated in a pink aura. "Misty!" Zipp then flew up to baby Misty and grabbed her.

"I gotcha!" Zipp said. Baby Misty giggled. Zipp then brought baby Misty down. MC then looked at baby Misty. He then raised an eyebrow.

"Huh," MC said. "There's something... familiar about Misty in her baby form." All baby Misty did was smile and giggle at MC.

"You think you've seen her in those visions you had during your time in Soleanna?" Zipp asked.

"Maybe," MC said. "I won't know until I have the right evidence."

"Wait, where'd Sonic go?" Maria asked. Just then, baby Sonic went past them with super sonic speed.

"Grab that hedgehog!" Pipp said. Then MC handed baby Misty to Pipp, and then he and Maria used their super speed to follow baby Sonic, but the baby was too fast for them.

"He's faster than ever!" Maria said. "How is he so fast?!"

"Smaller frame, less wind resistance!" MC said, running on all fours. "We gotta out think him." MC then jumped away, trying to cut off baby Sonic's path. He then grabbed Baby Sonic and held him up, him giggling. "What are you laughing at?"

"We need to get them contained somehow," Zipp said. "Any ideas?" Then the four older creatures then started thinking.

Later, the six babies were now in a poorly made crib with a large board to prevent the babies from getting out, with some heavy objects to keep the flying ones from pushing the board off.

"And to make sure no magic is used..." MC said. He then used his materiokinetic energy to create runes around the poorly made crib. "Magic cancelling runes. It was how Joshua and I taken down King Sombra before you guys ended up here in the past."

"How long before?" Zipp asked.

"To make it amusing for those who are reading this story, it was about 3 seasons ago," MC said, smirking. "When I had to take me, Sparkles, the kids and Mutt to Delphius to meet with the Oracle after Joshua's time of grieving."

"Speaking of Josh, how are we gonna tell him, Nyx and Spike that Twilight is younger than them?" Zipp asked.

"Well, Spike did say this happened to her before," MC said. "And that was before Equestria came back to Earth." He then looked at Pipp. "Now, Pipp, what exactly happened before we got here."

"Okay, well, I offered everyone here a facial, and once I did, I went into the kitchen to get everyone a fruity drink," Pipp said.

"Maybe it was something you used," Maria said. "C'mon, let's see what you used." Then the four of them walked towards where Pipp was mixing the ingredients.

When they weren't looking, baby Sonic walked up to the wall of the poorly made crib and started pushing it. Then the other babies came up to where baby Sonic was, and they started pushing as well.

Where the others were, they were trying to figure out what Pipp put into the mixture.

"This is all that I put into the mixture," Pipp said. MC then sniffed it.

"Oh, God!" MC said. "That stinks!"

"Tell me about it," Pipp said. "I've added another ingredient to it to make the smell go away. But I didn't know what it was."

"You put an unknown ingredient into your mixture?!" Zipp asked. "We gotta find out what it was before..." Just then, a bunch of different noises came from the living room. Then the four of them ran into the living room, seeing it a complete mess.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" MC said. "We shoulda had one of us stay in here to make sure this didn't happen!"

"We gotta do something to keep them occupied," Maria said.

MC then saw Izzy drawing on the walls again. He smiled and said, "I got an idea."

Later, the babies were doing some drawing with crayons and paper, which then were being surrounded by the walls of a playpen.

"That totally worked," Pipp said. "How did you know that would work?"

"Gotta know your babies," MC said. "Especially Izzy. Since she loves arts and crafts." Pipp and Zipp nodded in agreement. "Maria, you watch them, Pipp, Zipp, let's go see what caused this." The three girls nodded. Maria stayed as MC, Pipp and Zipp went back to the dining area.

When they went back there, they saw Cloudpuff, regressed to a puppy. He also had on something that was red and sparkly all over him.

"Puppy Cloudpuff!" Pipp and Zipp said, adoring Cloudpuff's cuteness. Then Zipp noticed something.

"Hold on," Zipp said. She then went out, headed for the room she and Pipp shared at the guesthouse, and came back with a Q-tip. She then wiped the sparkling red stuff off of puppy Cloudpuff. "Pipp, what is this?"

"Oh, that?" Pipp asked. "That's the face mask I created after adding the last ingredient."

"Why is it glowing?" MC asked, getting a better look at the stuff. Pipp then winced at that.

"I... might have found the last ingredient inside of that candle holder on the coffee table," Pipp said, nervously.

"What?" MC asked. Then the three of them headed for the living room. "Nicole, we need footage of the living room. Mainly around the coffee table, before Pipp added what was in the candle holder."

"Viewing footage on the screen," Nicole said. It then showed footage on the TV. It showed Pipp picking up the candle holder from the coffee table.

"What was in that?" Zipp asked.

"Wait a minute," MC said. "Nicole, rewind it to when Sonic and I were cleaning up the living room." Then the footage rewinded to when Sonic and MC were finishing cleaning up all the magic glitter. The footage then paused. "Oh, no. Sunny's magic glitter."

"You put magic glitter into the mixture?!" Zipp asked, looking at Pipp.

"I didn't know it was magic?!" Pipp said. "How was I supposed to know?!"

"Well, it won't matter unless we can get them back to normal," MC said. He then noticed something. One of the babies was missing. "Hold it. Where's Misty?" Just then, the sound of baby Misty giggling came to their attention. She saw baby Misty chasing puppy Cloudpuff out the back door.

"MISTY! CLOUDPUFF!" MC, Pipp and Zipp said in unison. Then the three of them chased Misty and Cloudpuff.

Baby Misty was chasing puppy Cloudpuff outside. MC, Pipp and Zipp ran outside to see baby Misty chasing puppy Cloudpuff into the room where the portal to Equestria was.

"Oh, no!" MC said. He then rushed towards the door and shut it before they could get into the room. "Not today, you two." Then baby Misty and puppy Cloudpuff started heading back towards the house. Then Pipp grabbed Puppy Cloudpuff and Zipp grabbed baby Misty.

"That was close," Zipp said. "We don't want Misty to end up in Equestria and taken in by a new family."

"That would be hard to explain," Pipp said. "Let's get them back to normal."

Back in the dining area, Pipp was thinking of a way to undo the age regression.

"Okay, if I put ingredients into my face mask that make you look younger," Pipp said. "So, if I put different ingredients into it, I can make them look older."

"Can that work?" Zipp asked.

"Hopefully, we can get them to the right age they were before," MC said. "We wouldn't want them to be as old as your mom or Alphabittle." Then the two pegasus sisters giggled at that.

"Wait, wait... Who's Alphabittle?" Pipp asked.

"Alphabittle was that old unicorn stallion that future me had taken the Unicorn Crystal from after winning that dancing game," MC answered. "Although, he was pretty spry for someone his age."

"Well, so were you since you lived for over 200 years," Zipp said, making MC laugh.

"Alphabittle was very grumpy when future me had taken the crystal from him," MC said. He then started talking like Alphabittle. "If you can beat me just one time, the Crystal is all yours." Just then, he felt something attached to his leg. He looked down and saw baby Misty looking up at MC with sparkly eyes.

"Misty?" MC asked.

Pipp then brought up a bunch of beauty supplies in a box. But she accidentally tipped the box, making some bottled liquid spill out onto Misty. The bubbles were green and dark blue. MC then reached into the bubbles and pulled Misty out. Her mane was covered in green and dark blue bubbles, and there were larger mounds of soap that looked like afro puffs.

"I gotcha, Misty," MC said. He then gasped when looking at baby Misty. "Oh, my God!"

"What?! What is it?!" Zipp asked.

"That's it!" MC said. "That's where I've saw Misty before!"

"You have?!" Pipp asked. "Where and when?!"

"Okay, it was in one of the visions my mom sent me during our time in Soleanna," MC said, remembering one of the visions of the future.

He remembered when future MC beat Alphabittle in Prance-Prance Revolution.

"You are not getting this crystal!" Alphabittle said to Future MC. "I don't care if you beat me at Prance-Prance Revolution. You're not getting it!"

"Oh, yes I am," future MC responded.

"Oh, yeah?" Alphabittle asked. "How are you gonna do that?"

Future MC smirked. He then said four words. "Magic, feather, wing, mayonnaise!" All the unicorns in the room froze at that.

"Bing!" Alphabittle said.

"Bong!" another unicorn said. Then all of the unicorns in the Crystal Tea Room started saying "Bing Bong" repeatedly and they started doing their dance.

"Well, I'd hate to get into your strange habits, but I gotta get going to Zephyr Heights," Future MC said. "Ta-ta." He then backflipped towards the counter where Alphabittle worked. He then landed on a tea saucer on the counter, making him slip and hit the wall that had shelves on it. "Okay, not as smooth as I used to be." He then looked up and saw a bunch of dishes, the Unicorn Crystal and a framed picture about to fall. "Uh oh!" Future MC then used his speed to catch all the things. He grabbed the Unicorn Crystal with his right hand, the picture with his left hand, and the dishes got stacked on his right foot and tail. He then sighed in relief.

"Whoa!" Alphabittle said. "Now that was smooth."

"Not for long," Future MC said. "I'm about to lose my balance. Get over here and help me with this." Alphabittle then ran over and grabbed the dishes and put them on the counter.

"That was close," Alphabittle said.

"Yeah, that would be hundreds of dollars of dishes," Future MC said, Alphabittle nodding in agreement. Future MC then looked at the framed picture. "Who is this?"

Alphabittle gave Future MC a sad look. He then said, "My daughter."

"Your... your daughter?" Future MC asked. "What happened...?"

"She went missing many years ago," Alphabittle said. "I've been waiting here for her, in case that one day, she would find her way home."

Future MC then sighed. He then said, "If she's still alive somewhere, I'll find her, and send her home. But until then..." He then rushed out of there, leaving the framed picture in Alphabittle's arms.

It then went back to the present time.

"So, Misty is the missing daughter of that old unicorn stallion?!" Zipp asked. "MC, we've gotta reunite those two ASAP!"

"Agreed," MC said. "But first, we gotta get these guys back to normal."

"Already mixed the ingredients!" Pipp said. "All it needs it magic glitter!"

"On it!" MC said. He then handed Misty to Zipp as he rushed towards somewhere, and came back with a garbage bag full of magic glitter. Pipp then pulled out a measuring cup, scooped up the glitter from the bag, and put it into the mixture, and mixed it up. Then the entire mixture turned red and sparkly.

"Okay, time to get everyone back to normal," Pipp said. They then headed back into the living room where all the babies were still doodling. Maria was watching them. Pipp then walked up to baby Sunny with a brush that had the mixture on it. Baby Sunny moved her face away from the brush annoyed.

"This isn't gonna work," MC said. "Any ideas?"

Zipp then got an idea and said, "Once upon a time!" That got the attention of the babies. They then crawled up to Zipp. Baby Misty included. "There were two sisters who were very different. And even though they liked different things... really different things... that was what made life together so fun!" The babies then started getting sleepy.

"Aw, you use to tell me bedtime stories," Pipp said. Then Pipp, MC and Maria grabbed brushes with mixture and started spreading the mixture onto the faces of the drowsy babies.

"The two sisters have lived together for a long time in a castle together until one day..." Zipp said.

It when went to where Twilight, Sonic, Tails, Sunny, Hitch, Izzy and Misty were all asleep on the couch, all back to their normal ages. Even Cloudpuff was back to his normal age.

Izzy then woke up. She then felt her cheeks and said, "Wow! It worked! I feel so much younger! I'm gonna tell all my friends about this!" She then looked around and smiled. She then whistled, making all of them wake up. "You all gotta try this face mask!"

"We did," Twilight said. She then felt her cheeks. "Wow. I actually do feel younger."

"Wow," Hitch said. "Who knew this would be so good?"

"Hey, look," Sonic said, pointing at a corner. In that corner, MC, Pipp, Zipp and Maria were asleep, MC being in the back side. They then woke up with dark circles under their eyes.

"Whoa, you all look exhausted," Sunny said. She then held up the first mixture of Pipp's face mask. "You all should try this face mask. You deserve it."

MC, Maria, Pipp and Zipp looked at each other and started giggling. Then they got up. MC then walked towards Twilight, and pulled her away from the group.

"Sparkles, remember when I said that Misty looked familiar to me somehow?" MC asked.

"Yeah, why?" Twilight asked.

"Well, I figured it out," MC said. "Where she came from. Who she really is."

"You have?" Twilight asked. "Who is she?"

"The answer to that... involves going back to the future," MC said.
