At the Crystal Empire, Shining Armor was sitting on the couch enjoying a day from the guard. He didn't have to do anything today, not even go to court, so he had all day to himself.
Shining just sat there enjoying the peace, till he looks up to see Cadence walk in with Sombra on her back. "Hey Cadence." Armor greeted giving his wife a smile.
"Hello Shiny, could you please watch the baby while I go to court today?" Cadence said holding out Sombra in front Shining.
"Whaaaat? Come on Cady, it's my day off." he complained before Cadence shoved Sombra into Shining's arms.
"All the more reason to give him to you, I need to go to court so I can't watch Sombra, so please Shining for me?" she asked sweetly with a sad puppy dog look she knew he couldn't say no to.
Shining groaned. "Fine I'll do it."
Cadence smiled and kissed him and Sombra. "Okay then, I'll be back later this evening, good bye boys." she said before leaving out the door.
Shining looked down at the little colt in his lap. "So what do you want to do today my son?"
Sombra looked up at him smiling. "I wanna pway!" he said reaching his hooves up.
Shining smiled. "Oh you wanna play, okay what do you want to play?"
Sombra crawled of his lap and went off somewhere when he came back he was holding up a big red ball.
"Aww, you want to play with the ball, okay." Shining said as he got up off the couch.
Sombra pushed the ball rolling it to his daddy's hooves. Shining gently kicked the ball back to him and soon they started to play a little game of catch rolling the ball around.
Then suddenly Shining hears the door open and he looks to see Flash standing at the door. "Hey Shining Armor, want to come down to the barracks with me for a drink?" Flash asked walking into the room.
"I would but Cadence left me with Sombra today." Shining said kicking the ball back to Sombra.
"Why don't you take him with you then?"
Both Shining and Flash look to see, another of the palace guard enter the room, a green crystal pony with a sapphire mane and a sword cutie mark.
"I can't take my son to the barracks for a drink, Sharp Edge! What would my wife do to me if she found out?!"
"What she doesn't know won't hurt her." Sharp said waving a hoof.
"But it can hurt me if she finds out!"
Sharp Edge was a reckless pony who had joined the guard after Sombra's defeat before his return as a foal. Sharp was quite talented, he's a good fighter with the strength to show for it and a good heart always standing out for the little guy, that being the reason him and Shining hang out most of the time.
"Come on Shining Armor sir, it'll be fine plus they got cider down there today." Sharp smirked.
Shining thought about It for a moment. "Mmm, I do like cider...but what if my wife finds out?"
"Princess Cadence is in court right now, right? We'll be back before she even knows about it." Sharp said.
"Alright then I'll go, but if something happens to my boy or Cadence finds out you're going down with me." Shining replied matter-a-fact.
****
With Sombra on his back, Shining Armor went down to the barracks with Flash and Sharp. The barracks was filled with other guards off duty, laughing and chatting before they would have to go back to work.
After getting there drinks, the guys sat down in one of the stalls. Shining Armor put Sombra on his lap. "So what have you guys been up to?" Shining asked taking a sip of his cider.
"Oh I got a really juicy story for you guys," Sharp said with a devilish smile, "okay last night these two mares-"
Shining Armor interrupted him. "Hold on, Sharp Edge, I need to cover Sombra's ears." he said putting his hooves over Sombra's ears.
Sombra watched as Sharp started dancing in a funny way shaking his booty and moving his mouth. Sombra started giggling from the way the pony was dancing clapping his hooves.
"Ah see this guy gets me." Sharp said pointing at Sombra.
"I don't even think he heard a word you said, Sharp. I think he's laughing at the way you where dancing." Flash retorded.
"What do you know, so Shining Armor what is it like being a papa?" Sharp asked leaning back in his seat.
Shining looked down at his son and smiled. "I don't really know how to explain it but...you feel this sorta sense of pride. When I see Sombra smile and laugh, I feel that my son is the greatest thing I have to give to the world when I past on he is the legacy I'll be leaving."
"Hmm that sounds cool, though I couldn't give up my life as a bachelor."
"I think I'd be into it." Flash said.
"I bet you'd make a great dad, all you need is a mare then." Shining said.
"What about your sister?"
"Dude we already talked about this, stay away from my sister."
"Come on Armor, you can't protect your sister forever. And wouldn't you prefer somepony you trust? I've never even met her before except every time we bumped into each other around the palace every time she visited."
(Discord: unless you count that time she went into another world. SS: Get out of here Discord!)
"What do you think kid, do you think he deserves your aunt?" Shining asked looking down at Sombra.
Sombra looks across the table at Flash who had a sheepish smile on his face. Sombra squinted his eyes. "NO!" he said then with a glow of his horn a black shadow tendril shot up from and smacked him across the face leaving a red mark on his cheek.
Flash held a hoof up to his red cheek while looking at the little black colt astonished. "What the hay was that?!"
"Yeah, apparently he still has quite a lot of power even though he's a foal now." Shining said, ruffling Sombra's mane.
"Well that's cool, welp we better get going before you get in trouble." Sharp said getting up from his seat, sadly he didn't look where he was going and accidently bumped into a waitress carrying some beverages that soon tipped over and spilled all over a pony in another seat.
The pony sitting down slowly rose up from his chair, as he stood up his very shadow easily towered over Sharp. Sharp eyes grew wide, he very well who this pony was everypony's heard of a stallion who was so big and intimidating that most guard were afraid of him, there where also rumors of his strength said he to be so strong he can punch a rock to dust.
The pony turned around and faced Sharp Edge. He was twice as big as Big Mac in both size and muscle, he had a shiny gold mane though he wasn't a crystal pony and his coat was dark red and he had a nuclear symbol for a cutie mark.
"B-Bang! I'm really sorry dude that was an accident I swear!" Sharp screamed in panic.
Bang only looked at him with a expressionless star.
Sharp bowed on his hooves. "Please Bang, I'm so sorry didn't mean to!"
"Really?"
Sharp looked up at him with a raised brow. "What was that."
"Was that really just and accident and that you're sorry?"
Sharp Edge was shocked, he was willing to talk before bounding his face in. "Umm yeah, yeah I'm really sorry Bang, it all happened so fast then suddenly it happened and-"
He was interrupted by Bang raising a hoof. "Don't worry about it, if it's just an accident and you're sorry it's no problem." he said, then looking past Sharp he saw Sombra staring up at him in wonder from Shining lap. Passing Sharp he walked up until he was right in front of Shining, and lifting a hoof he started gently ruffling Sombra's mane.
Sombra giggled as the gentle giants hoof rubbed his head then he grabbed hold of his hoof.
Bang lifted Sombra up to eye level with him, hold him on the very end of his hoof, Sombra sitting perfectly as though his hoof was a chair. Sombra giggled as he looked down at the far away floor.
Bang chuckled. "Nice kid you got here Shining Armor sir, though I think you better get going Princess Cadenza would be very displeased If she finds you hangin' here." he said hoofing Sombra back to Shining.
He took back his son and smiled. "Thank you, Private Bang, I was just about to leave."
"Okay, well I have to go wipe this stuff off now see you later sir." Bang said as he walked off to the bathroom.
Flash walked up to Sharp Edge who was still slumped on the floor. "Man, you're lucky, Sharp. I thought he was gonna beat the crap out of you."
Snapping out of his trance Sharp shot up from the floor with a smirk. "Hah, are you kidding? He's the one who should be counting his luck, if he had tried to fight me I would have beat his flank across the room.
Flash rolled his eyes. "Oh really."
"Yeah really."
"Really?"
"Didn't I just say-" he cut of and hesitantly turned around to be looking straight up at Bang. "Oh my goddess, Bang! You're Back!"
"I overheard you from the bathroom saying that you can beat me in a fight." Bang said.
"All the way from the bathroom!?"
"I have good hearing."
Sharp backed up hesitantly. "W-why are you back then?" he asked.
"I'm curious of what you said, if you really can beat me I'd like to see it with my own eyes, plus I like a challenge." He replied walking closer to Sharp.
Sharp was now back up to a wall with Bang getting closer. "Wait, wait! I was just joking, I don't even have a chance against you, let alone beat you." he retorted.
Bang stopped and raised a brow. "Oh is that so? I'm pretty sure you sounded serious." he said then looking back at Shining armor and Flash Sentry. "Didn't he sound serious to you two?"
Both stallions looked past Bang at Sharp and the pleading face.
Shining looked back at Bang. "Yep totally serious."
"one-hundred percent serious." Flash said.
"I have horrible friends."
Bang looked back at Sharp. "Well you heard them." Bang said before reaching his hooves for Sharp grabbing him and lifting him over his head.
"WAIT!!" but it was already too late as Bang threw him and they all watched as he flew to the other end of the room. "Save me Laruen Faust!!!"
Sharp crashed into one of the tables causing food and drinks to fly. "Hey kid you smashed are lunch!" screamed one of the guards at the table.
"Sorry for dropping in." Sharp said still feeling dizzy.
"You're about to be sorry, get 'em boys!"
All the guards at the table charged at Sharp. Shaking his head he quickly punched two guards sending them flying crushing other tables before he was dog pilled by the other guards starting to beat him.
"Out of my way he's mine!" Bang yelled charging at the guards pushing them out the way like they where nothing.
"Get em! Get em!" said one skinny looking guard.
"BAR FIGHT!!"
Soon everypony in the room broke out into fighting, one guard beating the other.
Flash looked at Shining. "I think we better take care of this."
"Yeah I know follow me!" Shining said putting Sombra down on a table safe from the fight, then he dived into the fight beating them.
Shining and Flash beat pony after pony. Sharp was fighting his own battle, fighting off other guards while avoiding Bang who was chasing him, smashing threw the crowd like paper.
Shining was hit by a guard and sent sliding across the floor hitting the table Sombra was sitting on. Shining looks up to see the guard come closer ready to slug him again, till suddenly a plate hits him right in the face then fell to the floor unconscious.
Shining stands up then looks at Sombra who was holding a plate smiling he giggled, "Bar Fight!"
"That's my boy."
****
Later after the fight calmed down and everypony went back to work, Shining Armor and Flash Sentry where walking down the hall with Sombra on his daddy's back holding onto a plate he brought from the barracks. Unbelievingly Shining and Flash got out of the fight with little damage, what could be better said for Sharp as he is now in the clinic for a week.
As they walked down the hall, Shining Armor smiled as he saw Cadence walking toward them with another guard. "Hey Cadence how was your day?" Shining said happily, happy that there's no possible way of his wife finding out what happened today.
"Hello Shi-Shiny, my day was good thank you and how was your day my little man?" Cadence cooed coming next to Shining and nuzzling Sombra.
Sombra happily giggled and nuzzled back.
The other guard smiled and came up closer to Sombra, "Hello there little fella, my aren't you cute-" he was cut off by Sombra smashing his last plate on his head knocking him out.
Both the grown ups looked down at the unconscious guard then at Sombra who still had a smile and giggled. "Bar Fight!"
Cadence looked at Shining who had a sheepish smile and scowled. "You went to the barracks, didn't you?"
"Flash could you watch Sombra while I run for my life?"
"Sure." Flash said taking Sombra.
"Thank you." Shining said before he dashed of faster then a Rainbow Dash down the hall.
"Shining Armor get back here!!" Cadence screamed as she chased after her soon to be dead husband.
Ponies watch as the royal couple ran through the castle, the only thing that can answer there curious minds was Shining Armor screaming.
"MY WIFE FOUND OUT I WENT TO THE BAR!!"
Here's a little author's notes editing for you.
Your = You're
aloud = allowed
then = than
I won't participate. I honestly think that Flim and Flam are a better choice. But writing for them seems tricky to me. You're better off with your picks actually.
How are Kit and Discord going to get a poor defenceless FIM user ponyfied and regressed this time?
I hope its funny, Or violent!
Aw who am I kidding they are one and the same
P.S: VERY funny chapter this time S.S keep doing what yer doing
The last Alicorn who's bad side you want to get on is the alicorn of love. Especially when she's in protective mode.
As for apple members regressed:
That's a toughy.
It would be funny to see Big Mac turned into Little Mac or Tiny Mac and AJ is the bigger sibling. (Darn it now your giving me a possible idea.)
Now it would be nice to regress Granny Smith so she can literally feel young again, though I don't know how she will take it.
Braeburn, well, from what I can tell he probably would be all in a huff about it. Plus that would give that buffalo Little Strongheart something to Daw about.
Too bad you can't regress all three. That would be really chaotic. (Everypony looks at me.)
Anyways, I think I choose, um, Big Mac.
I would say Braeburn, the guy's already quite youthful. And he's got that Southern charm, not to mention it's one less suitor for Spike to worry about. (You'd be surprised at how popular Rariburn is).
3623944
Yeah sorry about that I got tired at the end I wasn't kidding when Rarity said it was nap time.
3623948
Thank you I like your profile pic.
Why not Zeccora?
Example:
Applebloom is visiting Zeccora as she mixed a new potion and Applebloom accidently bump in Zeccora and the potion, which she holded in her mouth, get all over her. Zeccora falls asleep and awakes the next morning in the Apple-Family-House. With a Diaper around her rump.
But from the three choices you give us I would say... Granny Smith. I think she deserves the most to get a second childhood...foalhood... to be young again.
Shining's in for it now *smirks*
I can't choose between Big Mac or Braeburn but perhaps Mac n ya can save Braeburn for Little Strongheart maybe.
Have fun Onyx and enjoying the story keep up the good work
3625390
I would use Zecora but I would have to rhyme a lot and I'm not good at it.
3626338 Maybe she couldn't Rhyme as a little filly?
3626338
Yeah, in my story for Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust, it was hard to find the right words to rhyme.
3626354
I think a lot of readers would complain about her not being able to rhyme.
I wonder if you do choose Big Mac, will he be called Lil Mac or Tiny Mac? If you don't choose him, then I guess we'll never know.
3626390
I it was Big Mac I would go with Lil Mac
3626405
I see, still it would have been cute for AJ to call him Tiny Mac. Just saying.
This was a funny chapter. I liked it when he said i've got horrible friends and SAVE ME LAUREN FAUST lol.
My vote is Braeburn.
3626412
I think i would have to go for Braeburn mostly because it's the one that would work out best, Big Mac is one of ther helpers so with him as a foal again that would mean that AJ would have to work harder sort of taking away from her spending time with the little guy, but then again it would also mean AB would have to raise him.
Kit: so many choices, and so many outcomes.
Discord: yeah, oh i just had an idea.
Kit: scarry thought
Discord: hear me out, we alway turn the ponies into foals what would happen if just for one day we turn the tables?
Kit: you mean turn all the foals into ponies, and the ponies into foals?
Discord: yeah?
Kit: Onyx would kill you.
I would going to say you should turned Granny into a foal, but I'm suddenly going with Big Mac, and though this is just my slice of pie, have you ever thought of a little gender bending? You know, just for kicks? Because nothing is funny then having the big, strong silent type have everything taken from him?
And with that out of the way, I have a burning question I feel I can't hold in any longer...when are you going to involve the QUEEN? You have turned nearly all of the villians to appear in the show, except Chrysalis, and I been dying to know how she's going to get hit, and which pony will be lucky (unlucky in some cases) who get settled with her?
But I'm not just ranting...so I'm out.
3626338 That's where I could come in. I can make Zecora rhyme on a dime. But I can't do it well enough with my own might, so I use this website: http://wikirhymer.com/, but all the all the rhymes here I did on my own, I'm (not) number one.
3626405 breuburn
3626720
NO! turning a pony into a foal is one thing. But taking his very gender that's just evil, no man should ever go with that....If I do It'll be in another story without regression.
As for Chrysalis, she'll get hers all in good time my friend all in good time. All I can tell you is this.
It...will...be EPIC! There's going to be so much action excitement thrills that you will ever-
Kit: Suddenly appears and smack me in the face)
SS: Ow what was that for!
Kit: You where about to snitch.
SS: Oh umm sorry . Well that's all I can say for now.
3626557
SS: I cant believe I'm saying this.... but for once I support Discords idea.
3628202
Hmm then maybe I will go with Zecora?
3628432
Have you thought about a possible regression of all three Apple members and possibly Zecora added in for AJ to take care of, or is that taking the chaos too far?
3629417
Yeah that's to much chaos for one mare. But I may add Zecora later on if Firebird can help me with her rhymes.
3629622
Okay, cause if Zecora can't rhyme, that is not fine.
3628427
CS: pulls SS off to the side.) Really? I mean Really? think about it we flip the tables and turn all the foals in the story into adults that mean 3 adult super power ponies, most of the mane six in their foal state and not to mention all the princess of power will be foals, leaving Sombra as the leader of the Crystal Empire, don't even get me started on the trouble that will cause, with the crystal ponies, but also Nightmare Moon and Blueblood will have to take control of Canterlot for a day. (A wicked smile slowly appears on SS's face.) you've been corrupted, you've been hanging out with Discord, Kit, and Me far to long.
SS: One day, just one little day, what's the worst that could happen?
CS: those six last words are normally followed by total disaster. (takes a deep breath a sighs, if we’re going to do this it’s going to have to be at least several chapters just to do it justice, one for Canterlot, one for the Crystal Empire, and one for Ponyville. You know if the royal family ever really found out we where behind all this they would kill us.
SS: turns into onyx) But I’m just an innocent wittwe foal that don’t know what you talking about.
CS: picks onyx up by the diaper.) If it ever comes to it that they find out I’m not going down alone, not for this one.
SS: fine, then blame Discord it was his idea.
CS: good point.
3628432 Honestly, she works better as a support character.
3629955
SS: Right but lets not do everyone we. Leave the royal pony sisters out of it, I have a more delicious idea for them later. And Sombra how about we just have Shining become the foal and Cadence can watch him and make sure he doesn't cause trouble.
3630101
True.
granny smith
Braeburn
It would be to difficult for AJ to run the acres on her own and have a foal to watch if Big Mac was regressed.
With Granny, I'm not sure what it is but there is something I don't like about that. It just seems too much like she's the Apple family's mother figure.
I think that Braeburn would be adorable with them, just imagine that grin of his as a foal! (it's almost bigger than Pinkie's!)
On a different note,
I really like the age-flip idea. You could go in a lot of interesting directions with it.
Fluttershy's would ether be chaos or the site of some aireobatic wonders depending on how much being a foal affected Dash and Lightning.
(They might need therapy after the trauma of almost being an adult again)
From the mouths of babes. Kids say the darnest things. If you get into bar fights, your kids with get into bar fights. Shining Armor would have done well to have known any of those sayings. BTW,
Don't you mean soap?
As for my vote, I vote for Granny Smith. Braeburn doesn't live in Ponyville and I would rather not see a repeat of 'Applebuck Season',which would happen if Big Mac is regressed. I would also like to see how well the other Apples can cook.
3632298
CS: No Rarity meant soup, you see as a form of punishment she some times lets Sweetie Belle cook and SS has to eat it, most of the time she kind of liquefies what ever she's cooking so it's called soup.
3632351 I hate cruel and unusual punishment.
3632396
CS: why do you think onyx is so scared of soup
Discord: Now hold on where are you when i'm getting the tar beaten out of me by very angry ponies?
3621565>>3621694>>3621716>>3622848
(This is pretty much a stall between chaps and helps get the creative jucies flowing, doesn't really have to go with the story that will be up to SS, but i would like to see where you guys might take this, set up. This is also opened to other readers who want to pop in at any time just remember family friendly)
Sly: walks up to Nightmare Moon coloring and nugges her slightly with his nose.) Princess?
Nightmare Moon: Yes Sly?
Sly: I was wondering something.
Nightmare Moon: About what?
Sly: well Big blue pony is your mommy, and big white pony is Bluebloods mommy, and they spend lots of time with you, and take care of you, and play with you, and stuff.
Nightmare Moon: That's because they're our mommies, they also love us and protect us from bad things.
Sly: I know, but i was wondering, where is my mommy?
I vote for McIntosh.
Sparky, it's too hot to wear a shirt, yes.
Will the winner of that contest become a DC hero write off?
3634426
Maaaaybe.
3634391
(Oh I can tell this is going to be a little sad but I'll allow it.)
NM: Umm well I don't know lets go ask my mommy.
3634608 Of curse
Sparky, the "o" key didn't work.
Of course, Discord wouldn't want to make an arch nemesis for you by turning me into the character of Sugar Swirl who can control gravity with his wings,
Yes Sparky, I'm getting there.
Control electricity and has Pinkie's abilities but knows how they work.
3634617 Not necessarily. There is the kitsune that cursed the nobles.
3635413
What does he have to do with anything?
3630101 3637165 3637901 3626354
(*O.K. I blame SS for this since he said this might be sad i couldn't get this kind of talk between NM and Luna out of my head.*)
NM: Crawls up onto Luna’s bed and started to shake her slightly, waking the princess of the night.) Mommy.
Luna: (*YAWN!*) what is it my little moon? What has prompted you to wake me so early?
NM: Mommy I was wondering where Sly’s mommy is?
Luna: looked at her little moon and could see the curios look upon her face and then sat up slightly.) I see, to be honest little moon I’m not sure my sister informed me that he was only new to the garden the day he became part of our family.
NM: Part of our Family?
Luna: Well yes, I have seen he you watch over the little fox like an older sister should protect her younger sibling.
NM: But I,… I never thought of it that way, Sly is just a puppy and well I felt obligated to keep him save.
Luna: Obligated? Do you think it your job to take care of the little fox cub.
NM: No, he just,… he just needs me. (Nightmare moon folded her forelegs and looked almost proud of her answer as she looked at Luna.)
Luna: Just like many younger siblings need their older sibling to watch over them, to keep them safe, have you not noticed that when he is scared that he mostly hides behind you, or that when he finds himself in trouble he runs to you, most younger siblings will do this hoping that the older will protect them from danger, or in some cases punishment from the parents.
NM: Oh,… but what about him mommy where is she, I haven’t seen any other foxes in the gardens.
Luna: well as I said my little moon only my sister knows the answer to that, and I will ask her, but little one some times it’s alright to lie. (Nightmare Moon looked at Luna slightly puzzled, she never thought her mommy would say such a thing, but nodded as if she understood.) Alright I’ll go ask why don’t you go and make sure little sly isn’t getting himself into anymore trouble though, I do not think your aunt will be to pleased with him if he should chew up another pair of her slippers, puppy or not I think she might banish him.
NM: I’ll go make sure he stays out of trouble right now. (with that Nightmare moon jumped down from the bed and ran off looking for Sly, hopping that she would find him before he got into any trouble. While Luna remained sitting on her bed, fearing the answer that she knew most likely. Her sister was kind hearted and loving, and she would never separate a child from it’s parents, most of all she did find it strange that her sister was so insistent that they take Sly in, and as she thought about it, she started to realize that deep down Celestia might know something about Sly that she wasn’t telling her, something that she might not be able to tell her little moon just yet, and that she might have to take her own advice. Sometimes when the truth is to hard to bare a lie is the better choice.)
3635847
CS: tackles SS) Are you insane asking that question about a kitsune, that's like walking up to discord, slapping him across the face like so (Discord appears and CS backhands him across the face) and then saying, do your worst you pathetic little worm.
SS: You realize you just did that right.
CS: I owed him one, and he knows he's going to have some fun in a chapter i'm working on. Thought you wont like it.
SS: Alright,... wait what? (Discord and CS vanish.) Wait what are you two planning, why am i not going to like this. (A box appears a few feet away and scary music starts to play.) AND WHAT'S IN THE BOX!
(*in the hidding spot.*)
CS: what is in the box?
Discord: nothing, i just like watching people flip out thinking something is in the box.
3635847 I thought, just maybe, that kitsune could be one of Sly's parent.
3636076 It's not bad, I didn't get mach sadness out of this because it's late where I am, but it's sad in cute kinda way. And isn't this story supposed to induce cuteness?
Also, every time I read read Sly's name I can only think of him as a raccoon. I would blame the Sly Cooper series for that, but I won't because those games are awesome.
3636422
Well yes the story is mainly for cuteness. But sometimes I like to show character development through the story, rather it be between parent and child or a dar secret never ment to be revealed come to light (But only sometimes) its sad but every sunny field has it's dark clouds.
3637165 Even better.
3626390 If Bic Mac got chosen he should be called Little Mac. But only because I like Punch-out!! (I'm not screaming out the title in excitement. The exclamation points are part of the title.)
