//------------------------------// // "What! You can't change them back!?" // Story: My Little Ponies // by Butterfly Kisses //------------------------------// "What do I do?...." "What do I do?...." "What do I do?......" I repeated, hands on my temples while I paced back and forth in front of the sleeping ponies, panicking. "Should I wake them up?.....NO! You already established you DO NOT wake sleeping babies.....foals.....whatever!!" Talking to myself was something I do when alone, thinking, and oh yeah, PANICKING! I could swear with all my pacing I was digging a rut into the tile, but that was unlikely.... "Unnughh...." I turned to face the pony pile, and was happy to see that it was Twilight who was waking up first, not one of the foals. Still very concerned, I bent down to help the purple alicorn up. "Ooohhh, what happened?" asked Twilight, still not having opened her eyes completely, so she did not yet notice the other ponies. Leading her away from the others, I let her open her eyes, and shake off the initial grogginess before trying to explain anything. "Well....umm...something went wrong when you tried to teleport home....but please, before I show you what I mean, promise you won't scream?" I half-squeaked, still unsure of what the reaction would be. "Scream? Why would I scream? My spell just knocked them out like I was right? I'm sure I can fix whatever it......is...." Twilight turned around while saying this, and went wide eyed and looked very shocked...... "AHH-mphphphph!!!" I quickly covered her mouth. But I was too late. The little fillies began to stir. I rushed over and bent down, leaving a shocked Twilight gaping behind me. I looked over the fillies carefully, checking for any signs that any of them would fully awaken, or start to cry. To my relief, none of the little ponies did. I sighed contently, and watched them sleep peacefully for a moment before turning to get up. When I turned around, I saw Twilight standing completely still, mouth still wide open. "Twilight?......" I called out. When I got no response, I walked over and looked her in the eyes. It was apparent she was totally frozen, having no signs of having seen or heard me. Giggling a little, I waved a hand in front of her face, when THAT didn't work, I poked her in the side. "Gah!" Twilight yelped, jumped a little, and turned to face me. "Oh, good....your ok. So, umm....do you have any idea how to fix this?" I asked. "Well.....uhh...no. I uh, don't.....I really don't know that much about age spells....." After about an hour, we settled on an agreement. I would take care of the foals, while she researched the spell and tried to find out how to reverse it. There was just one more thing to take care of. "Can you do something for me? I think I figured out where we can put a nursery. We can't keep them in my room, you know." I said.
