Stone Cold

Rarity, Pinkie Pie, AppleJack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash went with the guards to check the Crystal Empire for any signs of foals being turned to stone. They all walked several blocks and searched the usual locations such as playgrounds and daycare centers, but they could not find anything.

Everypony was about to give up when a bright flash of light appeared in the sky. After it was over, screams could be heard in the streets.

“My foal! She’s been turned to stone!” One mare shouted in horror as she looked down in her foal’s stroller.

Another pony came running out of the daycare center in a panic. “The foals! They’re all stone!”

Even at the playground, all of the parents went into a panic as they suddenly found their foals petrified.

Rarity used her magic to quickly teleport everypony to the palace. “Twilight! It’s happening here at the Crystal Empire!” Rarity shouted.

“Foals are being turned to stone!” Rainbow Dash said.

“Flurry Heart!” Twilight, Shining, and Cadence all shouted in unison. They all rushed into Flurry Heart’s room and straight to her crib, but it was empty.

“Where could she be!” Cadence shouted with a look of severe concern on her face.

Just then, the bright flash of light that had been seen across Equestria just before foals were turned to stone appeared. When the light faded, Flurry Heart was floating in the air giggling.

Everypony was confused. “What is going on?” Twilight asked.

Flurry Heart looked down at Twilight. “BAE! I mastewd magick!”

Shining’s jaw hit the floor. “You can talk?!”

“Yah! I been pwactacy!”

Cadence put a hoof to her forehead. “I can’t believe what I’m seeing AND hearing! We all knew that you were powerful, Flurry Heart. But not this powerful!”

Flurry Heart clapped her hooves. “Don wowwy Mama! I be youw baby foweva!”

A bad feeling went through Twilight. “Flurry Heart, do you know anything about the foals of Equestria turning into stone?”

Flurry Heart nodded her head. “Yah! I do it!”

Everypony gasped. “Flurry Heart, why are you doing this?” Cadence asked.

“I wead a book dat twaught me abot aging. It scawed me! I no wanna gwow up! So I use a swell that take yowth fwom othew foals!”

“Flurry Heart, what you’re doing is wrong! You’re turning foals into stone!” Shining said.

“I no cawe! I foal foweva!”

Cadence put her hoof down as a look of anger came over her face. “Flurry Heart, you’re being a bad foal! I demand that you stop this right now!”

Flurry Heart then threw a temper tantrum. “NO! I STAY FOAL FOWEVA!”

Pinkie Pie’s mane then began to twitch. “Guys, my pinkie sense is going off!”

Flurry Heart then fired a beam of magic from her horn right at Shining and Cadence. In a flash, they were both turned into foals. A golden aura then surrounded Shining and Cadence. Flurry Heart sucked it up, and her parents were turned to stone.

The guard instantly rushed into the room. Flurry Heart used her magic to turn them into foals as well. Once they broke out crying, Flurry Heart also turned them into stone.

“Flurry Heart, you have to stop this madness!” Twilight pleaded. “You’re becoming a monster!”

Flurry Heart became angry. “You being a scawy beaw!” Flurry Heart then fired another beam of magic from her horn. Pinkie Pie jumped out of the way at the last second. She was shocked to see all of her friends turned into foals and Spike was turned into an egg.

Flurry Heart then absorbed their magic energy and turned them into stone as well. Pinkie Pie then tried pleading with Flurry Heart.

“Flurry Heart, you have to listen! Your family wasn’t being mean or trying to scare you! They were trying to help you! It’s not healthy to consume all of this magic!”

Flurry Heart refused to listen. ‘No! Powa feew good! I want mowe!” Flurry Heart then unleashed a shockwave of magic. Pinkie Pie ran away as fast as she could. The shockwave spread throughout the palace and beyond. Everypony it touched was turned into a foal, and then turned to stone.

Pinkie Pie managed to escape the Crystal Empire. By that point, there was nothing left but stone foals.

“I have to warn Celestia and Luna!” Pinkie Pie then took off running.
