Twilight was staring at the mirror Pinkie was holding up in disbelief. She was looking at herself though not as a mare but as a foal. Her thoughts were racing through her head like ‘how could this have happened?’ and ‘what went wrong?’ along with calculations about the recipe. Twilight was frozen in place by fear, not able to move from the state of shock she was in. Twilight was just staring at her reflection aside from her now little, racing heart. While her brain processed what could have went wrong.

“Twilight, are you OK?” Pinkie asked, causing Twilight to come out of her state of shock. Twilight attempted to talk and let her friend know she was alright, just a little startled, but all that came out of her mouth was babbling, baby gibberish. This caused Pinkie to giggle, soon the realization hit Twilight, she had aged back into a foal.

Twilight sat down as Pinkie put the mirror back “No this cannot be real this has to be a dream!” Twilight let out a nervous laugh “Yeah that’s it! This is just a bad dream of what could have gone wrong! All I have to do is wait until I wake up!” when Twilight looked back she noticed her cutie mark was still there, she sighed in relief “This is the worst possible thing EVER! I read the directions word for word, how could I have messed up?”

Twilight took a few deep breaths trying to calm down and slow her beating heart, but nothing worked. What was she going to do? Twilight knew that she would have to wait years to return to her normal age. Twilight let out a high pitched, ear shattering, scream that was several octaves higher than her normal voice. Pinkie Pie covered her ears, she could see the hurt on her friends face and now all Pinkie Pie wanted to pick Twilight up and give her the biggest hug of her life.

“This is real…” Was all Twilight could think now, the only thing she could do was sniffle, about to cry “What am I going to do? Twilight sniffled again “I am going to have to move back to Canterlot and move back in with my mother” at this point the dam had shattered and Twilight was now wailing like the age she looked “And I will have to leave all of my friends behind” her thoughts continued.

Pinkie Pie had gotten Twilight to sleep after almost an hour of her crying, she could not figure out why Twilight was crying so much and for somepony whose special talent is making ponies happy, it just broke the pink mare’s heart seeing a foal crying like that. Pinkie let out a sigh of relief “Good thing I have pacifiers hidden everywhere in case of pacifier emergencies.” Pinkie Pie giggled at Twilight sleeping and sucking on a pacifier. Pinkie Pie picked Twilight up, placing her on the bed “Now what to do” Pinkie Pie started pacing around the room as she thought.

“Oh! I got it! I can throw her a party!” Pinkie Pie squealed before putting a hoof in her mouth to stay quit. Looking over at Twilight she wanted to make sure the foal was still sleeping “Phew that was a close one but I should send a letter to Twilight’s mom or somepony. And I can’t forget the invitation!” she smiled widely as she grabbed a quill and paper.
