Thank you all for coming today." Twilight announced to her friends once she closed her latest spellbook, "I suppose you're all wondering why i've summoned you. Correct?"

"Is it because you want to schedule another party? You can never have too much parties in your life!" Pinkie Pie started to trail off into space, "I can just see it now. those cupcakes and-and those pinatas! and those-those streamers and-"

"PINKIE!!!" Twilight yelled, causing the pink mare to return to reality, "Thank you." She cleared her throat before starting up again, "I' was handed a new spell by Princess Luna herself. Some say that only Alicorns can pull it off without burning out their magic."

"What kinda spell did ya get this time, Twi?" Rainbow Dash asked, "Is it Dimension Travel?"

"No."

"Or maybe, Arcane Arts like star related stuff?"

Twilight sighed, "No, i wish though."

"Alright then, one more guess, i'm gonna say..." She stroked her chin for a moment, "Pony Breed Changing?"

"Dash, once again i must say no." Twilight levitated the spell towards her five friends, "I've been handed an Age Spell!"

"Dangit! That was gonna be my next one." She sighed defeatedly.

"Now then, i assure you've all brought along one decrepid foodstuff or object that i can try it out on?"

"Ah brought along some rotten apples ah was gonna burn." Applejack said as she pulled out the rotting apples from her flank pocket.

"And i had the idea to bring one of my tattered old dresses with me to this little chit-chat." Rarity said as she conjured up the ruined clothing before immediately sending it over to Twilight, "Waste not want not. as the saying goes."

"The Cakes have been stockpiling vegetables and healthy stuff for me ever since i got addicted to sugar." Pinkie said as she pulled out some rotting vegetables from nowhere, "So you can imagine they've gone a bit icky."

"It took me time to find something that wasn't really my style." Dash said as she pulled out a cardboard box that looked like somepony had ripped it asunder, "But i found this runied box from ten to fifteen years back and, thought i might have it disposed of."

"Oh, is it my turn already?" Fluttershy said as she poked her head out of a bookcase, "I-I couldn't really find anything important or rotten for a while, until i found my 1st birdhouse." She said as she pulled a rotting birdhouse from her flank pocket, "Maybe you could make it better?"

"Excellent. It's good to know everything was accounted for." Twilight said as she conjured a target reticle on the floor and pointed her hoof towards it, "Now then, everypony. If you could drop your items/food here, we can begin the process."

The 5 mares did as instructed and dropped their items on the marker. Once she got a good position, Twilight began casting the spell."

"Are you sure about this, Twilight?" Spike asked as he pulled himself out of the basement, "This spell hasn't been witnessed before. What if you mess it up?"

"Spike, please." Twilight sternly told him, "It takes an Alicorn to pull off a powerful spell like this. Now then, have you finished cleaning the lab yet?"

"Well, not really." he said as he forced out a hiccup, "Most of the stuff i clean out is- Hic!- sent faraway."

"SPIKE!?"

"Sorry- Hic, i'll just head up- Hic!- stairs now." He said as he bolted up the stairs leaving behind nothing but hiccup remnants as he vanished from sight.

Twilight then focused her spell on the marker again. It took her some straining to get the spell's frequency and colour right. But it didn't take long before she had a clear white aura glowing from her horn. She was about to fire at the objects on the marker, but then-

The spell left Twilight's horn, but she didn't fire it. The spell had gotten so powerful that no unicorn could contain it. And it wasn't long before this white bolt of magic was bouncing off every corner of the library like a pinball in a pinball machine.

"Everypony, duck and cover!" Twilight yelled as the magic bolt struck again and again and again on multiple different objects.

The 6 mares were now in a state of panic, desperately trying to avoid the white beam's energy. Spike had heard the chaos and rushed down the stairs to help the situation. He noticed the 6 ponies were running from a white light that reverted everything it hit back to its infantile state. Turning books into writings, food into ingredients and other things into younger other things. He came close to Twilight and friends, who were now huddled up together in panic.

"Twilight, any idea what's going- Hic!" His hiccup came at the very same time that the spell impacted its last target. The new Age spell had hit all of the Mane 6, leaving nothing more than a white smoke. His hiccup caused the smoke to vanish, but it also caused the Mane 6 to dissapear as well, "Oh my god. I've killed Twilight and her friends!" Spike yelled in horror as the cloud vanished from his sight and no ponies were found.

_______________________________

Celestia and Luna were having a chat in the throne room with a few other ponies and guards.

"Are you sure that this other world cannot be reached in another way?" An alicorn guard asked.

"I have studied the portal's magic thoroughly, and i can say that the portal in the Crystal Empire was crafted and sealed by a powerful entity who has long since passed away.

"But isn't there a way to contact this entity?" Luna asked as she dismissed one of her guards.

"Whoever he or she was, it really didn't like visitors." Celestia hung her head, "Before it vanished from Equestria, it placed an anti-communications barrier over both its' dying body and spirit, making sure that nopony could ever contact it ever again.

"So that means the conclusion is-" Another guard spoke before being stopped by Celestia again.

"This portal only opens every thirty moons and will always re-open every thirty moons. No amount of magic or spiritual travel can ever change that. And either way, Twilight said there was a hostile being trapped inside Sunset Shimmer during her travels, so i was worried that it would try to escape again when the portal re-opens."

"But, Your Highness, if we study hard we can surely-"

"I SAID ENOUGH!" Celestia snapped before calming down again, "From now on, no-one is to speak of the other world in the Crystal Empire unless authorized by me and me alone. Luna does not count when asking for permission. Is that clear?"

"Yes, Your Highness." The guards said in unison.

"Good, You're all dismissed. Luna, come with me." She said, causing all the guards to leave the room.

They took a little stroll down the corridors before coming to their private study. It was iconic to them both,seeing as it had both of their cutie marks on the double doors. Once they got inside they quickly saw 6 little foals on the cushions near the fireplace. They were all lightly coloured and were all in diapers. But Celestia and Luna quickly and precisely identified them as the Mane 6.

"Twilight?" Celestia asked as she came closer to the little foals.

"Mama?" The foal Twilight said as the two monarchs came closer and then stopped, surprised at Twilight's words. Twilight herself was surprised as well. She'd just called her ruler mama. The one word thought un-useable towards the princesses.

"I take it the age spell i gave you backfired?" Luna asked once she took note of the other foals.

"I tink i ovewdid it a wittwe." Twilight said before hanging her head in shame.

"A wittwe?!" Foal Rarity said, "We'we aww foaws again!"

"How did we get to de castwe is what i wanna know." Foal Rainbow Dash said as she examined the study carefully.

"I tink Spike hiccuped on us at de same time when speww hit us and tuwned us into foaws again." Foal Pinkie said.

"Spike sent you here?" Celestia asked.

"Accidentawwy i tink." Foal Applejack spoke now, "But in aww honsety, he did have a pwetty bad case of hiccups."

"Girws?" Foal Fluttershy asked, "Is it common fow Ponies hit by age spewws to wet their diapees without noticing?"

"Why yoo ask? Fwuttewshy?" Twilight asked once she turned towards the yellow foal.

"No weason." Fluttershy had wet herself without even noticing it, she proved this by covering the darker patch of her diaper with her hooves.

"Don't worry, i've got this." Celestia said as she began to conjure up a counter-spell for the Mane 6's predicament. She lifted the 6 foals up in her white aura before cocooning them in her powerful white magic. Celestia strained and struggled with the spell, almost to the point that she was gonna faint at some point. She would have fallen unconscious if not for Luna, who was adding her own magic to the cocoon concealing the Mane 6. But then the cocoon shattered and the 6 ponies were unchanged, still foals. Not even the combined strength of Celestia AND Luna could revert the Mane 6 back to normal.

"But how?" Luna said to Celestia once the magic dissipated, "We both mastered the art of age-changing in school."

"Twilight must have really poured all her power into that one spell." Celestia explained, "Only Twilight can fix the mess she made. Nopony else can."

"Onwy i can fix it?" Twilight asked herself. She then got the idea to cast the spell again, but in reverse this time. She strained and struggled to get her horn working, however, she had no luck whatsoever. She was a foal who could not use magic.

"Weww, Twiwight?" Rarity asked after seeing so many failed attempts go by, "Can yoo make us mawes again?"

"I'm afwaid not, girws." She hung her head, "I made de speww so powewfuw dat i can't cweate any magic auwa anymowe. I tink de onwy way to get back to ouw pwopew ages again is to stawt aww ovew as foaws again."

"Dere's no way back?" Rarity started to cry like the foal she was, "But i don't wanna be a foaw! I wannt be a gwown up!"

"Who's gonna bwing happiness to Ponyviwwe?" Pinkie started crying as well, "Nopony has de abiwities to match my tawents in waughtew producing!"

"Who's gonna take cawe of my cwittews? and pets?" Fluttershy was crying as well, "It wouwd be howwibwe for dem widout me!"

"I-I can stiww fwy wight?" Rainbow Dash tried to fly with her newfound body, but she wasn't getting any distance off the floor, "I can't fwy anymowe!" Rainbow Dash now followed suit with the other foals and was crying as well, "But i wanna be a wondewbowt and fwy through de air wike a big mawe wouwd!"

"Appwebwoom. Ah towd her i'd be back in no time!" Applejack was also crying as well, "She's gonna be heawtbwoken and wonewy widout me to wook out fow hew!"

"Oh, girws. I'm so sowwy." Twilight finished up the group by crying as well, "I weawwy didn't mean fow dis to happen to us!

Celestia fought of a way to calm the 6 foals down, she knew talking wouldn't be enough in this situation, they were crestfallen here. she then got an idea that might just work. She gestured Luna to leave the study, an action which was quickly followed. Then Celestia cast a powerful aura pulse around the room, causing the foals to stop crying. Celestia was now looking at them with a motherly smile on her face, "Don't cry, my Foals Of Harmony. Everything is going to be fine." She then conjured a pacifier into each of their mouths and carried them out of the study in her aura. 

"What is your plan, Sister?" Luna asked once Celstia came out of the study with the foals sleeping soundly on her back.

"Since this age spell can't be countered, we'll just have to wait it out." Celestia said, "The Spirits Of Harmony are just going to have to grow up all over again. Only this time. they'll be under the protection of us."

"Are you sure that's a good idea? What if we fall behind on the royal duties? The ponies of Equestria depend on our decisions."

"Which is why we'll have to take turns in raising them." Celestia levitated the foals to Luna, who then levitated them in her own aura, "You'll handle them in daylight and i'll overlook them at night. A good idea i'd say, even better than the time i enforced cross-breeding bananas and apples."

"Where should i take them then?" Luna asked.

"I had always prepared for this occurance since the day you handed her the spell, so i prepared a nursery for them just in case." Celestia told her, "Go down the stairs, middle corridor, turn left at the first fork and you'll find it at the end. I've marked the door with all of their cutie marks just in case you get confused."

And with those words, Luna was headed down the precise directions Celestia depicted for her. She went down the stairs and came to three separate corridors, all close together. She took the middle one like Celestia had told her and after walking past 5 doors on each side, Luna came to a fork in the corridor. She went left with the foals and finally stopped at the large door. Just like her sister said, Luna quickly identified all 6 cutie marks and opened the door.

It was quite an expansive nursery, even for 6 little foals like the Mane 6. There was also 6 cribs, close to each other, Luna walked closer to each crib and made sure to lay each foal in the correct crib. After matching each foal to their right crib, Luna started back towards the door, "Have a good nap, Sweethearts." She said as she closed the door and let the foals venture into dreamland.
> A Weird Awakening And Mane 6 Playtime
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight awoke in her crib first, feeling a little woozy after that long nap. She was covered by a purple blanket covered in her cutie mark. Her crib had mostly purple bars, aside from the one pink one on both sides. She didn't feel it straight away, but there was a pacifier in her mouth with her cutie mark on the back of it.

She didn't feel very weird or embarrassed to have a pacifier in her mouth and instead kept on sucking it as she looked around the other cribs. There was 5 other cribs, no doubt housing the other members of the Mane 6.

There was one crib painted completely pink, both structure and blanket. Twilight came to the conclusion that Pinkie Pie slept in that one. To her right, she could see a crib with a rainbow finish and blue blanket, she knew that was Rainbow Dash's crib. Another crib nearby, had a purple frame and white blanket. Rarity's. A 4th crib had a yellow structure and orange blanket, Applejack's. And finally, Fluttershy's crib looked the same as Pinkie Pie's, but hers' had a yellow blanket instead of a pink one.

She also noticed the cutie marks on the fronts of each crib, a way of knowing who's crib was who's. Cribs aside, the nursery itself was massive, almost big enough to count as a Day-Care centre on some accounts. The ceiling was ridiculously high for a lower level part of the castle, the room was entirely painted day and night style. And there was enough toys, blocks and other things to keep the Mane 6 occupied for days on end.

"Dis is ouw new woom?" Twilight asked herself as she got a good view on the nursery, "Wooks pwetty big, even fow Cewestia and Wuna."

Another foal had heard her talk and awoke as well. It was Rarity who woke up next. She could feel herself being covered by her white blanket and her flank was wearing a snug diaper. She was in utter shock once she had a pacifier in her mouth and tried to scream, but her new foalish state instead let out a weird high pitched whine that awoke the other sleeping foals as well.

"Mowning, girws." Pinkie Pie said after rolling the blanket off of her little foal body, "Did yoo have a good night's sweep?"

"Was i weawwy sucking dat paci aww night?" Rarity asked herself as she spat it out, "I feew so embawwassed now."

"I stiww can't bewieve i lose abiwity to fwy." A sad foal Rainbow Dash said once her mouth was clear, "My wife is pwetty much ovew now." She hung her head before sneaking the pacifier back into her mouth.

"Appwebwoom's gonna have a weawwy tough time managing da fawm widout me to guide her." Applejack said through her pacifier, "And as if dat wasn't enough, she adopted two mowe foaws into ouw famiwy, so she's weawwy gonna have hew hooves fuww now."

"Girws." Fluttershy said as she snuck out of her crib and moved over to a stuffed animal before hugging it, "Why mope about ouw new fowms? we couwd actuawwy be having foaw fun instead now." She said inbetween sucking her pacifier and hugging a large pink bear in her hooves.

Twilight was about to say something before the bars around her crib lowered and she clambered out. She got onto her stubby little foal hooves and moved over to a toy box full of little foalish outfits. it took her a while to find the outfit and even get it on, but she emerged from the chest wearing a little fairy outfit complete with her own magic wand. She took the pacifier out of her mouth to make way for the wand, as it fell from her mouth, the pacifier hung from her neck thanks to the the string wrapped around it.

"Actuawwy, dat wooks pwetty fun. Wet me twy." Said Rainbow Dash as she snuck out of the crib as well, she quickly made her way over to the costume chest and slipped with great difficulty into a little Wonderbolt outfit, designed for foals no doubt. Once she was happy with her new duds, she started running laps around the nursery, giggling all the while. At the same time she was buzzing her new foalish wings in an attempt to fly again, although she couldn't do it. she was having fun nonetheless.

"Now dat i tink about it, if dey're having fun, i dun wanna be weft out. I tink i'll choose a cute wittwe outfit." Rarity said as she climbed out of her crib now and made her way over to the chest as well, making sure to avoid colliding with Rainbow Dash all the while. Once she found the cutest princess outfit with pink dress and a little pink plastic crown and scepter, she made her way over to a pile of scattered blocks and began to stack them to her own desires. And for once, Rarity was giggling and having fun the more she got lost in her playtime.

"Ah dun know what's happened to us, but ah tink dat Twiwight and her fwiends awe actuawwy enjoying dis foawish stuff." Applejack said as she sat her ground before getting a glimpse of her hoof. She tried to avoid sucking it but it wasn't long before she exchanged her pacifier for hoof in her mouth, "Dis actuawwy feews a wot bettew." Applejack said in between sucks. I wanna twy dis someplace ewse." She then clambered out of her crib and looked for a nice little spot over by the corner. She made sure she was happy with her spot and before she even knew it, she resumed sucking on her hoof in content.

"Don't weave me out of pwaytime!" Pinkie said as she quickly took to her hooves and bounced out of her crib towards a nearby area made out of padded blocks and other shapes to climb on and around. She found a little tube to crawl through and crawled through like the happy little foal that she was, "Hehe, dis weawwy is fun!" She said once she popped her head out of the other end of the pipe.

"Suddenly, they stopped what they were doing and fell silent once they heard footsteps echoing down the corridor, "Looks like they're all awake now. I'd better go see how they're doing." Luna said in the distance.

Suddenly, all 6 foals bolted back towards their own respective cribs. making sure to account for the cutie marks on the front and the different coloured bars and blankets, once they were all snug, they made sure to pull the bars back up and make it look like they didn't come loose in the first place.

At the same time as the bars locked into place, the door swung open and Princess Luna came in, "Morning, My little Foals Of Harmony." She said to all 6 acting-as-if-they're-asleep foals.

"Mowning, Mama" The foal Mane 6 said in unison once Luna had finished speaking.

"Now i know this was a surprise to you all when we first found you in this state, but rest assured there's gonna be no more sadness with me and Celestia around to love you." She suddenly heard a lot of rumbling tummies from all 6 cribs, "I hear someponies stomachs are growling." She then levitated them to the middle of the nursery and set them down as Luna herself began to lie down a little, "It's time for your snack, little ones."

The Mane 6 were a little confused once they saw Luna's teats being exposed to them, but they felt much cozier once Luna made a nice privacy cocoon out of her legs and wing. But even so, they all still looked confused.

"I know you all seem confused that i'm feeding you all breast milk." Luna said from the outside, it was a little muffled but the Mane 6 could still hear it very well, "Last night, i was talking it over with Celestia on what i should feed you all. She said that formula and foal food was a no-go and she said the only suitable compromise was my and her breast milk."

"When yoo aww tink about it, bweast miwk does sound pwetty good wight about now." Rarity decided once her stomach rumbled again.

"Otay, but if we'we gonna be bweastfed, wet's aww do it togeder as fwiends." Twilight said.

"Togeder as fwiends." The other foals said in unison once hearing Twilight moving words.

It was a tight squeeze but the Mane 6 all managed to suckle on Luna's teats and receive delicious warm breast milk. Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie were sharing one teat and Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Twilight were sharing the other." Once they had finished feeding, Luna patted each of their backs the same amount of times, forcing little cute belches out of all 6 of their mouths.

"I see someponies just couldn't stay asleep." Luna said as she took notice of Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Twilight's foal costumes.

"Oopsie, Mama, we didn't mean it wike dat." They hung their heads and said in unison.

"Don't worry about it, my little sweethearts. All foals can't wait to get up and play like the foals they are." Luna comforted them, "Speaking of which, i don't want the rest of you to get left out."

Luna then lit up her horn and 6 parts of the circular wall around the nursery were quickly lifted revealing an even larger range of foalish toys and blocks in the new part of the already large room. Each new part was painted the colour of the 6 foals' coat and had their cutie marks painted all over the walls.

"Consider it my gift to all of you." She said as she let the foals explore their own little playrooms.

"Tanks, Mama." Twilight said as she began to fiddle around with some purple blocks in her part of the nursery.

"You're welcome, my dear Foals Of Harmony." Luna said as she sat down on a nearby chair in the corner, "Now you can just play in here and have fun. No harm from the outside world will come for you." Luna said as she looked outside the windows in the corridor she had just walked down, "Absolutely no harm at all."
> The Sisterly Mothers
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Mane 6 were starting to lose some of their adult minds already once they were deep in their playtimes. It had erased most of their most recent memories leaving only their memories on how they met still intact. It wouldn't be long now before their developing foal minds would begin crafting new foal memories for them so they don't end up as ponies with no birth or history.

There was also a few padded pipes in the walls in each of the Mane 6 playrooms, no doubt for them to crawl through and meet their friends on the other side. There was an equal amount of toys and activities in each miniature room within the already large nursery, although they were all very different in each room, as if to capture each ponies' creativity and foalish nature.

There was a lot of books, blocks and foal outfits in Twilight's part of the room, to capture her insatiable pursuit for knowledge and creativity, and for those little moments where she now liked to have a little fun once in a while. In Applejack's mini-room there was a lot of toys and blocks for her, everything was also in plain sight, so she couldn't lie even as a foal now. Pinkie Pie's mini-room had a lot of balloons, inflatable things, a ball pit and a lot of other foalish things. Representing that she was a playful little foal, nothing more, nothing less. Rarity's mini-room had a lot of building blocks in it, both picture and oddly shaped. Representing in great foalish detail that she had a habit for creation and innovation. Rainbow Dash's mini-room had a lot of sporty foal toys as well as a swing and bouncer. Representing her undying love for speed and hyperactivity. And finally, Fluttershy's mini-room had mostly stuffed animals and a few other foalish things as well. This was a clear sign that she loved animals and nothing else.

As Luna watched the Foals Of Harmony playing as the little foals they were, she began to ponder things, "That spell does more than just make them foals." She said to herself in silence as if not to distract the foals and grab their attention, "It also eats away at their adult minds over time, making them actually believe that they really are foals."

"Tag, You'we it!" Dash said once got out of her room and tagged at Twilight who was leaving hers.

"Tag, Fwuttewshy." She said ass she gently landed a tag on the yellow pegasus foal, not to hard though to make sure she didn't startle her too much.

"Since only Twilight can erase the damage, she and her friends will no doubt start to forget everything." Luna said as she watched the 6 foals chase each other once they all got back into the main nursery again, "They'll forget the battles with Nightmare Moon, Discord and even Sunset's Demon. They'll even forget the Elements Of Harmony and the tree from which they were born from. But at the same time as they lose all their current memories, their foal minds will start to craft new ones as well."

It wasn't long before Luna had finished when she noticed the laughter had stopped and she could clearly see that the Mane 6 had all wet themselves together and were just feeling it now. They were about to cry before Luna started to make cute shushing noises and lifted them all up in her blue aura.

"Don't cry, my little angel ponies." She said as she laid them down on a six-way changing table, "Mama Luna's gonna make things all better."

Luna began using her magic again to take off all of the soiled diapers off simultaneously and conjure them out of sight. As the Mane 6 giggled and applauded her little trick, Luna levitated 6 more diapers out from a drawer beneath them and got to work unfolding them. After this little phase was done, she took out some foal powder and sprinkled it on top of every new diaper before stopping her horn aura momentarily before starting it up again. Luna then levitated all the foals' flanks off of the table a little before setting the new diapers underneath them. The foals giggled as their flanks were levitated and Luna made sure that all the tails were pulled through the holes at the back before making all three ends meet on all 6 diapers and finally wrapping the tapes up nice and snuggly.

"There we are, my little ponies. Doesn't that feel better?" Luna asked before receiving simultaneous nods from all 6 of her satisfied foals.

"Tanks, Mama." They said once they stopped nodding.

"You're all welcome." She said as she levitated them off the table and carried them in her magical aura once more. She was about to put them on the padded floor again until she heard some giggles coming from the flying foals.

"Umm, Mama?" Fluttershy asked as she was inches away from the floor.

"Yes, my dear Fluttershy?" Luna gave her a motherly smile.

"Umm, could yoo make us fwy? Just fow a wittwe whiwe wongew?" Fluttershy said in the cutest tone she could muster in her new foalish state.

"Sure thing, anything for you, my Foals Of Harmony." Luna said as she lifted them higher away from the padded floor.

She began making it look like they were actually flying without wings, by placing something over her horn to make her aura invisible but still there. She was swirling the foals in the air for around 10 minutes, enjoying every foalish squeal and giggle that they made during their flight. After another 5 minutes, she landed the foals on the padded floor again before hearing a knocking coming from the nursery door.

"Luna, it's no longer daytime in Equestria, you've got the throne now." Celestia said calmly as she walked through the doors before looking at the laughing foals, "I see somepony did a good job on raising the Spirits Of Harmony."

"Oh yes, Mama." Twilight began with Celestia, "We had wots of fun wid Mama Wuna hewe. She gave us ouw own wittwe wooms beside dis woom, she changed ouw diapees when we wet ouwsewves and she made us fwy just befowe yoo came in."

"Sounds like you all had fun as well." Celestia said as she came over to Luna's side and wrapped her hoof around her shoulders, "But it's time for Mama Luna to leave for a while."

"Aww, but why does Mama Wuna have to weawe so soon?" Rarity asked once she heard the words clearly.

"Both of your mamas rule Equestria together, but we both work different shifts." Celestia told them, "Whilst i rule in the daylight, Mama Luna rules at night. But don't worry." She kneeled down towards the foals, "When you don't have your Mama Luna at the moment, always remember that Mama Celestia will be here for you and will make sure that no harm comes to any of you."

"Aww, Sister." Luna began blushing a little, "You're making me a little embarrassed."

"Hehe, you'we funny, Mama Wuna." Rainbow Dash giggled once she had noticed Luna's blushing.

"Sister, Are you sure you can handle them?" Luna asked once she made it to the doors.

"Trust me, i've dealt with foals before, so this should be easy." She got behind the foals as luna opened the doors, "Say goodbye to Mama Luna for now kids."

"Bye-Bye, Mama Wuna." The 6 foals said in unsion as Luna closed the door and headed upstairs to raise the moon and begin another night.

Once the door was closed, Celestia blew a few raspberries onto Twilight and Rarity's stomachs. The two unicorn foals could not help but giggle as Celestia blew the raspberries onto their stomachs accordingly and the same number of times. She then noticed the other foals were getting left out and she pulled them all in for raspberries as well.

"That's right, my foals." Celestia said in between raspberries, "Mama Celestia has a friend with her tonight, The Raspberry Monster!"

The foals could not stop giggling as Celestia blew the final raspberries before letting them off into the expansive nursery and mini-rooms again. From there on, the rest of the evening was simply foal play. Twilight in her fairy costume reading books, Applejack playing with a few of her toys, Pinkie Pie was, basically being Pinkie Pie but more in a foalish manner now, Rarity was stacking blocks to make her renderition of a castle, Rainbow Dash was running around and buzzing her wings in excitement as she was racing around in her mini-room, making a few pit stops in the actual nursery at times. Finally, Fluttershy pulled all of her stuffed animals in together into one big hug.

Celestia took notice of the time and levitated all of the foals in her yellow aura, "It's Bedtime now, my cute little foals." She said as she laid each pony down in their respective cribs before she came to the middle of the room and began singing a lullaby to them.

To my dearest little filles, my cutest little foals.
The time has come for you to go to sleep.
But even though this day, has come to an abrupt close.
That doesn't mean it's time for you to weep.
For a new day is dawning soon.
A day for excitement and fun.
Because when one adventure's over.
A new one has already begun.
So sleep tight, my little filles, it's time to rest your head.
Sleep tight my Foals Of Harmony. It's Time to go to bed.

The foals were all moved by Celestia's lyrics and were already partly asleep. Celestia then met them halfway by levitating all of their pacifiers back into their mouths.

"Goodnight, Twilight." She kissed her in her head and pulled Twilight's blanket over her sweet little foal body.

"Goodnight, Applejack." She moved over to Applejack's crib and did the same things. Pulled the blanket over her and kissed her foal forehead.

"Goodnight, Pinkie Pie." With a kiss and a pulled up blanket, the pink foal was starting to venture into dreamland again.

"Goodnight, Rainbow Dash." Rainbow Dash was already sound asleep, but she received a kiss and a nice tucking in for good measure.

"Sweet dreams, Rarity." The white unicorn graciously accepted Celestia's kiss and tuck-in before closing her eyes and getting lost in her dreams.

"Night-Night, Fluttershy." WIth one final kiss and a sweet tuck-in, Celestia wished the last foal a good night before heading towards the doors.

"Goodnight, everypony." She opened the doors silently so as not to awake the foals too soon.

"Goodnight, Mama Cewestia." The six foals said in unison before sleeping once more.

As Celestia quietly shut the doors she went back upstairs to her private quarters and got to work on her mail and her own private work.

"It was a very moving song you sang to them." Luna said as she came into the private quarters after giving a decree to her Batponies and her Night Guard, "It could even put my song, Children Of The Night, to shame."

"Thank you for you opinion, Sister." Celestia said as she got to work on writing a request inscribed on a scroll.

"But do you really think that it's a good idea to leave them all alone in there? With nopony to care for them at night if they have a little, nightmare?"

"Don't worry yourself too much. The Writer knows what he's doing here, and it would break his heart to make the Foals Of Harmony cry whilst they sleep."

"Huh?" Luna asked once she noticed the strange name Celestia had used, "Who is this writer anyways?"

"Oh it's nothing to worry about, Sister." Celestia said as she began responding to another request, "You should see how your subjects, Batponies and Night Guard are getting along."

"But it just seems weird how you used a weird name like-"

"Luna, it's nothing." Celestia said flatly, "It's nothing you should be concerned about, now run along. Your subjects of the night need you."

"Very well then, but i still wish you would tell me who this writer is." Luna said once she walked out of the study and shut the door on her way out.
> The Picnic
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sunlight beamed down into the nursery like a high powered flashlight in the early hours of the next day. Only a few foals were stirred by the light, whilst the others just snuggled deeper into the blankets, knowing that Celestia would always look out for them, even when she wasn't on foal duty.

Twilight was the first to awake, with everypony else awaking up at around the same times, with Rarity waking up last. Some of the foals yawned a little once they woke up, before attempting to sneak out of their cribs again and get back to their playtimes.

"Mowning, Girws." Applejack started this time, "Did yoo aww get a good sweep wast night?"

"I had a pewfect sweep wast night. Wid da best dweam evew!" Pinkie Pie said once Applejack asked the question, "Wast night, i dweamt dat evewypony in equestwia was foaws again and dat we wewe aww pwaying togeder in da wawm sunwight. Yoo were aww dere as weww."

"Weawwy?" Fluttershy asked once she snuck out of her crib and made her way over to the stuffed animals in her mini-room.

"Sounds wike a wondewfuw dweam yoo had wast night, Pinkie." Rarity complimented as she slipped out of the crib with dexterity and style, "I had a dweam wast night whewe Mama Cewestia and Mama Wuna wewe foaws as weww and dat we wewe aww sisters. It was so much fun!"

"Aww, Dat's so cute, Wawity." Rainbow Dash said as she sneaked out of her crib and shuffled over to the costume chest. She came out wearing a cute little wolf outfit and pretended to go round and scare her friends.

The foals bought Rainbow Dash's little act and began to pretend to run away from her as if she was an actual wolf. It was both fun and a little scary as they were dashing around the nursery as fast as their little foal hooves could carry them.

"Wainbow Dash?" Twilight asked once she noticed a darker patch on the wolf costume, "Do yoo feew someting in youw diapee?"

"Huh?" Rainbow Dash didn't feel it until the door opened revealing a happy Luna walking in.

"Good morning, my Foals Of Harmony." She said as she shut the door behind her and carried picked the foals up in her aura.

"Mowning, Mama Wuna." They said once Luna carried them up and took them over to the changing table.

"Did somepony wet demsewves wast night?" Fluttershy said once the foals were let down and she picked up the scent of soiled diaper.

"Don't wook at me." Rarity said, trying to lead suspicion away from herself, "If i wet mysewf i wouwd be cwying wight dis second."

"I guess dat wouwd be twue." Pinkie Pie said as the smell still lingered and Luna began taking off Dashie's wolf costume, "But if Wawity didn't open da fwoodgates, den who did?"

Luna was examining all the diapers closely until she finally came to the wet patch and the smelly soiled diaper spell, "Oh, my little Rainbow Dash." She cooed as she nuzzled her and unwrapped her diaper at the same time, "I think you had too much fun this morning. Yes you did, yesh you did." She was cooing at Dashie to make her laugh whilst she was adding the foal powder to Dashie and applying the finished diaper firmly to Dashie's flank.

"Aww, tanks Mama." Dash said once the diaper was snuggly taped around her little foal bottom.

"Don't thank me yet, we've got something special planned for you all today." Luna said as she picked the foals up in her aura and loaded them all up in a foal carrier with 6 seats. It would have been enough to crush a pony with all the foals strapped into the seats, but Luna had magic by her side and she was physically fit for the task as she sat the foals down in the 6 seats and took them out of the nursery and up the stairs to Celestia.

"Umm, Mama?" Fluttershy began to ask, "Whewe are we going?"

"I thought since it was such a nice day out, to ask Celestia that we could go out for a picnic today." Once she got closer and closer to the front doors of the castle, "I myself was a little surprised that Celestia said yes but then i thought, as long as we're with you, they'll be perfectly safe." She then got out of thought and began talking to them again, "Don't worry about anything, nothing is going to hurt you as long as we're here to guide you."

Luna just opened the doors to the carriage road and was met with Celestia giving her latest orders to her guards before ascending some steps into a nearby carriage. It was quite tall (taking into account Celestia's height) and had a golden line running across the centers of certain parts. It was also quite shiny after it was being washed by some of Celestia's winged guards, so shiny in fact, that the light from the sun was reflecting into the foals' eyes. they didn't seem to fazed or sad that the light was getting into their eyes, in fact, they were actually looking at the vehicle in amazement and awe.

"So, Luna." Celestia said almost before she sat down in her seat, "Are you and the foals ready?"

"Ready as we'll ever be, Sister." Luna said with glee once she got onto her seat and shut the door behind her.

Once the sisters strapped their seatbelts on with their magic, they sat the Mane 6 foals down into the smaller chairs below them. Once the foals were happy with their seats, Celestia pulled down some little bars over their stomachs so that the foals wouldn't fall out once the carriage got moving.

"Where do you wish to travel to? Your Highnesses?" The driver said from the front seat.

"Ponyville, Picnic Area." Luna quickly said once she shut the doors on the left side of them all.

As soon as the doors slammed shut, the driver used magic to crack his whip, signalling the alicorns pulling the carriage that it was time to go. Once the two galloping horses picked up speed, they flew into the air, taking the entire carriage with them. It would have been a heavy thing to pull, but the driver was helping them by carrying it with his magic.

"Do yoo feew dat?" Pinkie asked once the ground had left the carriage's wheels.

"I tink dis cawwiage is fwying!" Rainbow Dash said once the carriage did a swift maneuver through some clouds, leaving nothing behind but tiny puffs which quickly disspated.

"Can yoo girws bewieve dis is happening?" Twilight asked with glee as they did a little dip before regaining balance, "I nevew thought we wouwd wide a fwying cawwiage untiw now. I guess being Mama's foaws has some pewks."

"I don't tink i've evew had mowe fun dan evew befowe!" Rarity said as the carriage took a sharp turn towards the ground, "Now i hope we nevew gwow up!"

"Looks like some-one's enjoying the flight?" Celestia said once she picked up on the foals' conversation.

"Dat's wight, Mama, we aww tink dis is a gweat wide. Even if we awe stiww foaws." Twilight said once Celestia spoke to them.

The carriage made a little bump on the ground when it landed, but once it did, Celestia, Luna and the Foal Mane 6 were all let out of the carriage onto a nearby hill on the outskirts of Ponyville.

"This looks like a good spot." Celestia said once she conjured a picnic blanket out of thin air and got the food out.

"Yes we'll have roughly 30 to 45 minutes here, so just come get us anytime within those numbers, OK?" Luna said to the driver before he took the carriage back to the castle by flying it again.

"Alright then, my Foals Of Harmony, why don't you head off and play for a while?" Celestia said to them once she opened the basket and took out a piece of cake.

"Aww, but Mama, why we not eat anyting?" Rarity asked as she was heading off into the grass.

"Listen, we're not sure how young this spell has made you all, but i know it's made you young enough that you can only eat breast milk." Celestia told them, "If you tried eating any solid or foal food, it could prove bad for you at this age. Besides, even if you did try to eat solid foods, they'd all be too big for you to chew and even bite."

"Awww." The 6 foals said in defeat.

"Don't feel sad. i'll be sure to feed you when you feel hungry." Luna said as she took out some napkins with her magic, "Don't let it worry you too much, just head off to the nearby patch of grass and play. Things are going to be alright."

"Otay, Mama." The 6 foals said before excitedly heading off into the grass to play some foalish games with each other. It started with tag, then it escalated into hide-and-seek and then eventually, the six foals were making up ridiculous dares for each other.

"Hehe, i dawe yoo, to woww awound in de gwass!" Twilight said to Rarity who reluctantly accepted the dare. After a good ten seconds of rolling around on her belly and back, she shot a little foal-death-glare at Twilight before perking up and saying the next ridiculous dare.

"I dawe, Pinkie, to jump off of dat cwiff neawby!" Rarity pointed at a little rocky cliff that had a small blue pond at the bottom of it.

"Awe yoo suwe about dis, Wawity?" Pinkie asked as she was gazing down the cliff face into the blue water at the surface, "I did some pwetty stupid tings as a gwown-up, but i tink dis is whewe i cwoss da wine!"

"Come on, Pinkie, at weast pwove to de west of us foaws dat you'we no chicken." Raimbow Dash said once she too got a glimpse of the water below.

"Otay den, if yoo aww weawwy want me to jump, i'ww do it."

And with those words, Pinkie Pie took a running start before cannonballing herself down the cliff. She heard a few yells in the distance before she shrugged it off and began laughing again.

"I can't bewieve it! i'm gonna make it. For da fiwst time in my foaw wife, i've nevew fewt happiew!" Pinkie Pie was about to hit the water when she saw an orange speck suddenly become a pegasus with a purple mane, this new visitor just caught her before she hit the pond below and, while she was flailing around a little that she didn't make it to the pond, she was laughing all the while when she was coming closer to the top of the cliff again.

"You shouldn't wander off the edge of a cliff, silly little filly. You could have gotten hurt or worse." The pegasus mare said once Pinkie reached the top of the cliff to see the foals had almost forgotten about her and were now playing tag.

"Is this filly yours, ma'am?" The pegasus said as she came closer to Celestia with Pinkie Pie in her muzzle.

Celestia turned around to see the pegasus who had saved Pinkie. The mare was a pegasus with an orange coat and scruffy purple hair. her hazel eyes looked surprised once she noticed that she was eyeing down Princess Celestia of Equestria. Luna quickly scoffed an apple and turned to face the pegasus mare with Pinkie in hooves.

"Princess Celestia?" The mare said with a surprised expression quickly starting to show, "I never thought i'd see you and your sister here in Ponyville today."

"Pinkie Pie." Celestia said once she took Pinkie back in her yellow aura and set her down at her laps, "You shouldn't be that close to cliffs like that. You could have met a bad ending if this courageous mare here hadn't stepped in." The foal hung her head in shame once taking Celestia's words, "Promise me this won't happen again, OK?"

"Otay, Mama." Once Pinkie had said it, the mare was even more surprised and her jaw dropped farther than ever thought possible.

"She can talk?" The surprised pegasus mare said once hearing Pinkie's words clearly.

"All foals can talk." Luna said once she put down another slice of cake, "Grown ponies don't understand what they say though. A little hinder in the art of mothering."

"Do you have foals then?" Celestia asked.

"No Your Highness, but my friend has some." Said the pegasus mare as she closed up her wings and sat down after that jet over, "We all live together, but technically she filled out the adoption papers herself because she wanted to make a good impression on the orphanage ponies. My friend Applebloom has two beautiful earth ponies, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon."

"And can they talk?"

"Yes, but none of us can decipher their words. It's mainly nothing but foal gibberish to us."

"That's a shame, it's actually a blessing to have foal talk normally, it makes the job much more easier and cute for motherly ponies and their friends." Luna said with a smile growing and a plate hiding.

"Sorry, i forgot to introduce myself." The mare took herself into a bowing position "My name's Scootaloo. How did you get your foals to talk?" She asked once she stood up from her bow.

"Well first you should meet them. Then i'll tell the story." Celestia then picked up the remaining foals with her magic, stopping their little game of tag and then she set them down in front of Scootaloo, "Scootaloo, i'd like you to meet, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle." She said as she pointed each one out to them with a spotlight spell.

"Hold on, Applebloom said that Applejack was away in Fillydelphia attracting business to the apple farm there." Scootaloo said looking a bit confused, "How is it that she's a foal again?"

"I suppose i have some explaining to do." Luna said with a sign of grief and guilt showing, "I entrusted a special spell to Princess Twilight a few weeks back. A special age spell that only Alicorns like Celestia and me can accomplish without burning our magic out. Each of Twilight's friends was called to try out her spell on a few things in particular. So we entrusted them to make a cover story for each of them, just in case they had any family or friends. It was hard to convince Applejack to lie to your friend Applebloom, but she did it nonetheless."

"OK, you're making sense so far." Scootaloo stopped them, "But that doesn't answer the question on how they're all talking foals?"

"The spell proved to be too powerful for even Twilight to handle." Celestia explained guiltily, "It grew wildly in power, it escaped the hold of Twilight's magic, and it ricocheted off the library's walls like a pinball on walls and bumpers. all six ponies were caught up in the spell's power, reverting them to their foalhood states. At the same time, they'd also been teleported to my castle since Spike had a bad case of the hiccups at the same time. I was surprised myself that they could talk, but i was even more surprised that no counter-spell could cure it. So it fell upon me and Luna to raise the Spirits Of Harmony ourselves until they grew up all over again. An arduous task, but a fun one nonetheless."

"So these foals were already full grown mares?" Scootaloo finally pieced the story together in her mind.

"That's right. How they retained the ability to talk is still a mystery to us." Luna said.

"That's so cool!" Scootaloo said with her wings now flapping wildly, a sign that they had quickly recovered, "But aren't they gonna keep you from performing your royal duties?"

"We made a fair decision upon agreeing to take care of them, Whilst i watch over Equestria in the daylight, Luna spends her time with the foals, vice versa, when Luna's overlooking Equestria, i'm overlooking the Foals Of Harmony." Sounds fair, don't you think?" Celestia told her.

"That sounds more than fair, but won't Applebloom and Sweetie Belle get worried that their sisters have been turned into foals though?" Scootaloo asked as she knew it would be crestfalling for them both.

"They haven't seen them since?"

"No, and they're starting to get a little worried about it."

"Oh, i didn't account for this." Luna started with a little shocked expression before Celestia finished her lines.

"I'll make sure that they know this has happened, by writing them a letter." Celestia then materialized a scroll and quill and began writing a letter describing how Rarity and Applejack were age-regressed. Once she had finished writing, Celestia cast a powerful magic, leaving a perfect copy of her cutie mark on the bottom of the paper, so as to validate that it was from her. Once she was satisfied with her work, she rolled up the scroll and placed a wax seal over it before hoofing the letter to Scootaloo, "I hope this makes it clearer to them."

"It sure will, Your Highness." Scootaloo said as she put the scroll in her flank pocket and started to take off back towards the picnic area nearer to town, "I'll see you all soon someday."

After Scootaloo was out of their sight, Luna pulled the Mane 6 closer to her and wrapped them in her wings and legs again.

"It would be cruel of us to let you all starve." Luna said as the foals came closer to Luna's teats and once more began nursing.

The six foals were more accustomed to feeding all at once rather than one or two at a time. Once again, it was tricky to squeeze all 6 foals around the teats but they managed in the end. With Twilight, Pinkie and Fluttershy sharing one teat and Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash sharing the other. Once they had had enough breast milk, Luna made sure to burp the foals properly and politely.

"Celestia?" Luna asked once she let the foals off for a few more minutes of playing, "How sad is it to lose a sister you care for dearly?"

"Believe me, i know how sad it was for me." Celestia placed her hoof over Luna's shoulders, "When you became Nightmare Moon on that fateful day, it felt like i was all alone in this world. I not only felt sad and regretful that i sent you away, but i also felt lonely every day onwards. It's heartbreaking to lose someone you love dearly, more saddening than you could ever imagine."

"Oh, alright. I'll make sure to never leave your side from this point onwards." Luna stood up, regaining a bit more confidence, "It would crush my heart and soul to know that i'd be abandoning you again, if it takes forever, I'll stay by your side through everything else in this cold, harsh reality.

"That's good to hear, Luna." Celestia said once the carriage got back to the hill and stopped flying momentarily, "I feel better that way, no doubt the foals feel the same way as well, even if they don't realize it."

"That reminds me, Luna said as she turned back towards the 6 playing foals before lifting them up into the foal seats again and securing them in tightly with the little padded bars, "I'm sorry that i had to interrupt your game, my Foals Of Harmony, but it's time for us to head home now."

"Aww,why we have to weave so soon?" Applejack asked after the doors were shut and Luna signalled the driver to start moving again, "I wanna see mowe of dis outside worwd."

"Maybe some other time." Celestia said once the carriage was flying again, "The guards do get a little worried when we're not giving orders or decrees, and to be honest, it really isn't safe in some parts of the outside world. You all need to be safe and everything needs to be foalproofed for you at this moment, until you grow up into the Spirits Of Harmony again."

"Awww." the foals said in a defeated tone before the carriage did a little swoop, causing them to giggle again. Whether or not they were focusing on their dilemma and/or joys, the six foals loved the flying carriage rides.

"How long do you thing it will take them to grow?" Luna asked Celestia as they got closer to the castle again.

"In all honesty, i don't really know." Celestia slightly lowered her head, "If the spell bolt comes out white instead of pink and blue, it could delay their aging process by a couple of years." She turned to face Luna again, "The colour of the spell bolt tells the pony how powerful the spell is, since it was a white bolt Twilight conjured up, my research on the age-spells have led me to conclude that white age-spell bolts mean the ponies that it hits will age one year every TEN years."

"Oh my." Luna almost stopped a little, "They're going to be foals for 20 to 30 years before they become toddlers."

"I knew you'd be a little surprised." Celestia said once the carriage stopped on the castle road and the doors opened,

"Don't let it worry you right now." Celestia waled out and strapped the foal carrier onto Luna's back and sides, "Your top priority in the daylight, is to make sure the Foal Spirits are happy, healthy and most of all, safe."

"Very well, Sister. You have my word as the princess of the night." Luna then lifted the 6 foals out of the foal seats and strapped them into the foal carrier, once more using her magic to keep her from being crushed by the amount of weight she was carrying. Once she was inside the castle, she headed back into the nursery with the foals on her back, and then she let them run off and play again before conjuring the carrier out of sight, "20 to 30 years. How long could that be?"
> I Get Pestered
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the foals got back into the nursery, they started to feel a little dizzy from the day out, they quickly shrugged it off however and partially resumed to their foalish natures and activities. The foal Mane 6 had also become a lot more talkative than they were before. Sometimes it was about their adult minds slowly fading away, sometimes it was about their fantasies when they grow up again and there were sometimes when it made absolutely no sense in the slightest. One thing was for sure though, they were all having fun in their foalish states.

Hey, Wawity." Twilight began, "What do yoo tink dat Mama Cewestia does on da thwone when we have Mama Wuna wooking aftew us?"

"I actuawwy have no cwue what Mama Cewestia does on hew thwone." Wawity said as she pulled herself up from her block stacking, "But if i had to guess, i say dat Mama Cewestia's tinking of mowe ways to make us giggwe."

"I wondew what Mama Cewestia is doing at dis moment in time?" Twilight pondered as headed over to another scattering of blocks in another part of the room, "Whatevew couwd yoo be doing at dis moment?"

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie were now playing pattycake, singing words that differ from the original song itself. Think of it as when a foal runs out of ideas and makes up their own words for the song, but i don't wan't to squander the story anymore, so i'll just let you listen for yourself.

"Pancake, cheesecake, appwe cwumbwe. Ponies twip and ponies tumbwe. Seas and Skies and appwe pie. everypony wiww soon fwy!" They chanted this song for god knows how long as they bumped each other's hooves and sometimes clapping for one note.

Meanwhile, again. Applejack and Fluttershy were playing hide-and-seek in the 6 mini-rooms. There were six of them if you remember, one specifically for each individual member of the Mane 6, even though it was personalized for each ponies' personality. Also they were also good for hiding, mainly some trunks, hiding in a forest of blocks, and even hiding out in the open at times. In addition, they sometimes moved out into the main nursery to make it interesting-

"OK OK! We get it!" Said a voice from the middle of nowhere. It was weird, but i quickly came to the conclusion that i knew who was speaking to me.

"Discord?" I asked to the voice, "Well, i'll be. I never thought i'd see you in my fic." I complimented, seeing as Discord's antics always made me laugh, "Speaking of which, what are you doing in my fic?"

"Well, since most other fanfics I read were pretty boring, I came to see what new meat was brewing in your kitchen of AR fics. And judging by the looks of what you've created, you seem to have turned all of the Spirits Of Harmony into foals. To that motion, i say congratulations!" He said to me.

"Wait what? Congrats?" I asked, knowing i was gonna regret it someday.

"Many other fics came close to doing what this fic did but always left one Spirit still grown up." He explained, "Mainly including Foalsitting Your Friends Is Magic by Carnivale. The many fics of Night--Mist that all seem to connect. He hasn't done something with Rarity yet. Trust me. And one more example i have to say was that god-awful Regression fetish story, Dark Nursery. I was considering giving up breaking the 4th wall when i read that one." Discord said to me with a little smirk.

"Alright, Ok. We're starting to veer off of the topic at hand. What are you doing in my fic?"

"I decided you're giving too much explanation instead of foalish stuff here. So i thought i'd step in and fix this problem." He popped up behind me and coming closer to the end of the sentence, he materialized a worker's outfit and toolbox out of thin air.

"Discord! You lay one finger on my fic and so help me. I'll send you back to stone!" I said as i pulled out a gross feminine head with snakes for hair, "I have Medusa's Head here and i'm not afraid to use it. Even though you are the funniest character in the show, i'll have no problem imprisoning you again for ruining my story."

"I'm not trying to ruin your fic. Shadowmane. I'm trying to make it more interesting for both you and the viewers." He said as he wrapped himself around me and materialized a spotlight around us both.

"Trust me, Discord. My fic is as interesting as it is already." I quickly broke free of his bind and had the Head Of Medusa into a ready stance in case Discord charged at me.

"Oh come, come now, Shadowmane." He said as he warped behind me and wrapped his skinny claw around my shoulder, "It's not nice to drive your assistant like a slave."

"Assistant?" I asked with a brow raised, "Why in the world would one of the Spirits Of Destruction want to work with me?"

"Shadowmane! Spoilers." He covered my mouth with her bear arm, "You don't want to go down the same road as Sunset Satan now do you?"

"I guess not." I calmly said, "But still, Assistant? I never thought i'd see the day."

"Well you've seen it now." He said as he quickly blinded me momentarily with a flash of light, "Congratulations. You've won yourself a free Discord. Compliments of Celestia herself."

"So you want to help me then?" I said as i finally returned to my desk and keyboard, "Ok, this couldn't be so bad now, could it?"

As i finally returned to the desk, i finally got back to work on the AR fic related to this chapter.

"Weady ow not. Hewe i come!" Fluttershy said once she lowered her hooves again and went off in search of Applejack. She was searching everywhere, under the cribs, in the mini-rooms and so forth. She eventually found Applejack hidden in a mountain of blocks.

"Aww, howsefeathews." Applejack said as she was revealed by Fluttershy and went back into her mini-room to start another round with Fluttershy.

"Shadowmane. I need to ask." Discord said as he lightly poked my back as soon i finished the last sentence, "Why is it called Age-Regression anyway?"

"You should know by now, Discord." I said as i turned around to face him, "After all, You yourself pulled off an Age-Regression trick with Super-Stallion, remember?"

"Oh yeah, that was pretty funny."

"In case you've forgotten, Discord." I begun to explain to him, "Age-Regression is an unnatural occurrence in which one or more characters is Age-Regressed and is given the body and/or mind of a baby."

"Basically most of Night-Mist's fics."

"Yup. That's the long story short of it."

"Now if you'll excuse me, i have a fic to write and readers to impress." I calmly said and turned back to my desk.

Applejack began to count again and Fluttershy quickly looked for a hiding place, it was around when Applejack said 4, when Fluttershy found a perfect hiding spot in Twilight's costu-"

"By the way." Darkwing interrupted me, "Nice addition of Changelings in your Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon humanized fic. Although it's quite a shame you didn't give me Exordaks' picture. I would like to see what she looks like."

-me chest and shuffled through a lot of-

"Why don't you make your own pictures instead of borrowing from Google."

-foalish outfits to eventually hide in the bottom and stack some more outfits on top to make it look like it was sti-

"It's really cheap and lazy to copy from Google, you know. It's like you're lazy or something."

"I'M NOT AN ARTIST!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled at Discord and tried to use Medusa's Head on him, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT ARTIST PAGES THE ARTISTS USE, AND EVEN IF I DID, I'M NOT A GOOD HUMAN WORLD ARTIST BECAUSE OF MY RUSHED DRAWING! JUST LEAVE THE ISSUE ALONE!!!!!"

"Shadowmane. Calm down a little." Discord said as he was frantically dodging the stare of the beheaded snake woman, "You're acting like a foal here."

"Please, Discord. I'm trying to work here." I calmed down and withdrew the head hoping Discord would stop moving around a little.

"Still, aren't you a little bored?" He asked as i put the head away in my bag, "What fun is it if you just let your anger and work get ahead of you."

"What are you suggesting i do, Discord?" I asked with a tilted head, "Just sit back and watch this fic write itself?"

"Actually, that's exactly what i was thinking." He said as he raised his claw and had a finger click ready, "You just need a little break. And i mean a break that's exciting, other than you gaming like you usually do."

"You, writing a fic? Wouldn't that be lazy for a writer to let his assistant to work for him?" I asked.

"No, it wouldn't be lazy if a foal writer's assistant did the work for him." He clicked his fingers.

"A foal?!" I said in shock as i knew what was coming next, "Wait! Wait!!! There's no real life AR and reverse thing or pla-" My sentence was cut off and i was suddenly enveloped in a white light. The light suddenly turned into a floating ball of light. Discord then threw the ball of light into my computer like a baseball pitcher would. When the ball hit my computer, it disappeared into the screen with the AR writing page on it.
> Whewe Am I?
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

It took a while for me to wake up and get a good grasp on my surroundings. But I could tell from looking that I was in my own AR fic; Foals Of Harmony. The last thing I remember was Discord sending me to this place with his magic, the rest is all a blur. I felt a little dizzy and rubbed my head. But I was surprised to see that instead of my hands, I now had little hooves instead.

"Huh?" I gasped in fright and confusion, "Whewe awe my hands?" I covered my mouth as I realized what i had just said and how i said it. It finally struck me that I was my own avatar, but not only that, I was a foal now. Probably Discord's doing but i couldn't really remember.

As I was trying to figure this all out, the Mane 6 came up to me and were sharing surprised looks with one another. Fluttershy was the farthest back, something that I'd expect, but the others were a mixture of uncomfortably close and the right distance.

"Hewwo dewe." Twilight greeted me as she took my hoof and brought me onto all fours.

"Whewe did yoo come fwom?" Rainbow Dash asked as she had never seen my character before in this world.

"I tink dat dis one must have snuck into da castwe widout anypony noticing." Rarity tried to explain, in an apprehensive yet calm manner, "Eithew dat ow Mama's given us a new foaw to pway wid."

"Girws." Fluttershy said as she came up to me and stood in front of me, a method of protection I initially thought, "We shouwdn't be so quick to judge dis new foaw. Aftew aww, he wooks da same age as aww of us." She then turned to face me, "Sowwy, i fowgot to say hewwo. I'm Fwuttewshy."

"Hi Fwuttewshy." I said with enthusiasm, "I'm Shadowmane PX-41" I didn't want to use my human name for a good reason. The ponies might never have heard a human name before. So i went with my avatar's name.

"Dat's a wong name fow somepony." Rainbow told herself, "How abouw i caww yoo Shad instead?"

I mulled it over for a few seconds until I finally thought that i had nothing more to lose at this point, "Otay, Shad it is." I said happily.

"Oh, whewe awe my mannews?" Rarity said as she composed herself, "It's unnatuwaw fow a foaw not to intwoduce demsewves towards anoder foal. Hi I'm Wawity."

"If she's sayin hewwo, ah tink it's onwy faiw dat i do da same." Applejack said as she stepped forward, "Ah'm Appwejack, it's nice ta meet ya Shad."

"Otay, now dat we'we saying hewwo, I tink it's time fow yoo to meet da best of da best." Rainbow Dash stepped forward now, "Da name's Wainbow Dash."

"Hi dewe. I'm Pinkie Pie, but yoo can just caww me Pinkie fow showt." Pinkie said being as hyperactive and bouncy as usual.

"I tink i've seen yoo somewhewe befowe, but i can't pwace my hoof on it." Twilight said as she placed her hoof under her chin, "Weww, it doesn,t mattew now, what is impowtant though, is dat yoo know my name as weww." She shook my hoof in greetings, "Hi, I'm Twiwight Spawkwe."

"It's vewy nice to meet yoo aww." I said before the doors opened, revealing Princess Luna walking into the room and then immediately looking over at me with a surprised look. She wanted to get angry and defend her kids, but even when I was a foal, she found me adorable and lifted me up in her aura.

"Hello little fella." She said with a kind voice I'd never heard before in the history of time, "Who might you be?"

"I'm Shadowmane, but yoo can caww me Shad." I said sheepishly as Luna asked me the question.

"Ok, that's your name down. Now where did you come from?" She asked as she levitated me onto her back and I grabbed a hold of her neck, so as not to fall off.

"Aww we know, is dat he just appeawed out of thin aiw." Twilight explained cutely, "Oder den dat, I have no cwue as to whewe he came fwom."

I wanted to tell her than Discord sent me here, but then again, if I did, she'd probably get angry and probably throw me out. So I just kept my mouth shut as Luna lifted me up and set me down on the changing table nearby. I suddenly realized it myself, I wasn't wearing a diaper. I didn't struggle or squirm as she laid me down and began the process, for some reason, it just felt natural to be diapered in this state. And for another unknown reason, I actually felt happy with being a diapered foal. I'll admit that once every now and then I let out a few giggles as Luna diapered me and picked me up again, but other than that, I remained respectively silent.

"There we go, my little beauty." Luna said as she nuzzled my neck gently, "Just to make sure you don't make a mess."

"Hehe, tanks, Wuna." I said cutely as I looked up at her face with a smile on mine.

"You don't have to call me that." She cooed at me and lifted me up in her aura again, "As long as you're here, you're welcome in the family, Shad. Just call me Mama."

"Otay, Mama." I giggled after saying it. I always fantasized about a real life Age-Regression facility or object in my human life, but it was completely different in this perspective. All I felt like doing was playing, and not playing my games as i usually do, I felt like being a foal and doing foalish stuff, and this was the perfect opportunity to do it.

I was quickly set down onto the floor again where I immediately ran off with the Mane 6.

"What do yoo girws wanna pway?" I asked them once we all got together and sat down.

"Dat depends on what yoo wanna pway." Rarity said as she raised a brow.

"I don't know about yoo girws, but I wanna pway hide-and-seek." I finally said with another grin forming, "Does anypony agwee wid me?"

"I agwee." Pinkie shot one of her hooves up and wiggled it around frantically, "Is my decision vawid yet?"

"Yes, Pinkie. It is." I nodded as I turned to face the other ponies, "Anypony ewse agwee wid us?"

"It wouwd be nice to have some competition in dis pwace." Rainbow Dash said as she raised a hoof as well, "Otay, I'm in as weww."

"I'd wike to see how Shad does when he's wooking fow us aww." Twilight rose her hoof now as well, "I'm in as weww."

"Shad, yoo wook wike da cutest foaw I've evew seen." Fluttershy complimented, "It wouwd be an honow to pway hide-and-seek wid yoo."

Rarity and Applejack were discussing it among themselves in private, mainly whispering in inaudible cartoon whispers, "What the hay. We'we in too." They both said in cute unison as they rose their hooves as well.

"Otay. Since Shad bwought up de idea, he gets to count and wook fow us fiwst." Twilight said as she announced it to her other friends, "Weady, Shad?"

"I'm as weady as I'ww evew be." I said enthusiastically, "Evewypony find a good hiding space whiwe I count to ten."

As soon as I covered my eyes with my hooves, I began counting upwards until i reached ten. I let out a few giggles with each number and I was eagerly tempted to speed up my counting, but i played gracefully and kept my counting speed normal for them to hide.

"Weady ow not, hewe I come!" I said, announcing that I was now looking for the Mane 6.

I quickly dashed around the nursery in a lap-like fashion, making sure everypony wasn't hiding from an angle where I could easily find them. Once i scanned the center well enough, i spread out to the other regions of the nursery, keeping my keen eyes open at all times.

I then heard a giggling noise coming from underneath Dash's crib and i ran over there. I checked in the bed to see if one of the girls was hiding under the covers, no luck. I then looked underneath the bed and could make out a little blue and rainbow colour in the darkness.

"Found yoo, Dashie!" I said as I saw the colours inside move to the outside, revealing the blue and rainbow coloured foal.

"Howsefeathews." She said looking a little peeved that I found her first.

As Dash took sat down in the middle of the nursery, I ran off looking for the other members of the Mane 6. Later on, I found them in this order; Rarity hidden behind a mess of blocks in her mini-room, Fluttershy hidden in plain sight, disguising herself as a stuffed animal, Twilight was in her costume chest which I had difficulty opening with my foalish hooves, "Applejack was a hard one. I had to look under the changing table to find her at last, and finally i found Pinkie hidden in the maze of tubes connecting the 6 mini-rooms.

Soon after our game finished, we started a game of tag, starting with Dash being "It" and the rest of us running like sprinters. Dash landed a tag on Fluttershy, who landed another tag on Rarity. She passed that onto me, I passed it onto Applejack and it went on and on with us tagging different ponies each time until eventually we all crashed into each other and landed belly first onto the padded floor. Instead of crying however, we were all laughing from how fun that felt.

"Hehe, dat was WEAWWY fun." I said once Luna picked us all up in her aura again after applauding us on our efforts and how we didn't cry and look helpless.

"How wong awe yoo gonna be wid us, Shad?" Rarity asked as Luna let us fly in her aura. The other foals were used to this, but I for one was new to the experience. Albeit me being a newcomer to foal flying, I was giggling and laughing and proclaiming Wheee! all the while.

"Weww, i don't weawwy know how to cwoss dimensionaw pwains anymowe." I explained as I regained my composure and answered the unicorn's question, "And even if I did wemembew how to do it, I don't weawwy wanna weave."

"You're staying den?" Pinkie asked as she was levitated next to me.

"Yup, wooks wike it." I calmly said in acceptance, "But I don't weawwy feew sad about dat. I tink i'm gonna have a wot of fun wid yoo aww."

"Gwad to heaw dat." Twilight said as she clapped her hooves together mid-flight, "Wewcome to da famiwy, Shad."

With those 5 words, I knew my life was just about to get better and better. I wasn't gonna tell them about Discord and him bringing me here. I only felt necessary to bring it up if he started meddling in my fanfic's affairs. But until then, I didn't tell them and they remained happy and welcoming. A feeling I haven't felt for a long time.
> The Monarch And The Writer
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I quickly got swept away as I let myself develop my new mind. All I wanted at this point was happiness, bliss and good friends. The Mane 6 were cute and very friendly once I got to know them better and spend some time with them. And It wasn't long before I created a strong bond with them.

We spent most of our time in the nursery, usually just playing with each other and being young and happy. Luna was keeping a very close eye out for all of us, making sure we were happy, healthy and dry. Occasionally, she'd let us fly or allow us to enter specials little worlds called "The Dreamscapes." We had fun shaping our own little Dreamscapes to our desires and almost considered living in them forever, until Luna came round and took our tired bodies back into reality.

"How wong have yoo been awive, Shad?" Twilight asked me once she came close and sat down by me.

"Uummm, I..." I wanted to tell her that I was really 16 years old, but then again, if I did tell her the truth, she would think that something would be wrong. So I thought The best way to get out of this is to lie to her. After all, I don't want to go back anymore., "I'm onwy thwee months owd." I finally summed up the courage to speak.

"I guess dewe's no diffewence hewe." Twilight said after I forced out my answer, "Aftew aww, we'we aww thwee months owd as weww."

"Weawwy?" I hadn't even thought of giving them an estimate age during the time I was working on this story. Man, Discord's been busy, hasn't he?

"Aww, who cawes about someting as stupid as age? I'm stiww bowed!" Rainbow Dash blurted from afar as she leapt out of her crib and tried to fly, once again landing on her stomach.

"Dashie, I know yoo wanna pway wight now, but I'm tawking to Twiwight at da moment." I said, trying to make it so she'd keep her distance for the meantime.

It wasn't long after that little remark, that Celestia came in and noticed me. She was looking a little apprehensive at first, but Luna told her the whole story, that I just ended up in Equestria by chance. Celestia picked me up and took me outside for a bit, carrying me over to a desk somewhere in the study.

"You know, there's something familiar about you that I've seen before." She stroked her chin as she gazed upon me, "I just can't place my hooves on it."

"It's otay, Cewestia. I know what yoo mean." I said to her, taking her by surprise that she could understand me, "In fact, I'm da pewson you'we tawking about."

"Shadowmane!" She finally realized and pulled me into a hug, "What happened to you?" I knew that that there was no avoiding the question now, especially since Celestia knew who I was.

"I didn't wanna say dis to da girws." I confessed guiltily, "But I'ww say it to yoo. Discowd sent me hewe, aww because he thought I was wowking too hawd on dis fic."

"Wait, Discord sent you here?!" She set me down before readying her magic for anything.

"Don't worry down there, Celestia." Discord called from my laptop desk, "Everything's alright up here."

"What are you talking about?!" She opened her wings and readied her horn for conflict, "Why isn't Shadowmane working on this world?!"

"Listen, Celestia." Discord warped from my desk and into the story, adding the words on what looked like a keyboard on a sash, "Shadowmane was starting to struggle and fall behind on the story a little. I only thought it fair to let him take a breather whilst I carry the load." I was suddenly wearing a little hawaiian shirt, whilst Discord was suddenly lifting what looked like a concrete pony. The things vanished once Discord had finished.

"But you, writing a fanfiction?" Celestia started to calm down a little and gave Discord a puzzled expression, "I can't see that working anytime soon."

"Oh come, come now, Celestia." Discord warped behind her once more, "I'll have you know that before I was what I am today, I used to be a magnificent writer, I even have my certificate of authorship with me to prove it." Discord materialized a scroll which, when unfurled got larger and larger until it almost covered me, "Ponies didn't know how much to fit on a scroll back in those days though."

"That was a flaw we had back in the olden days." She whispered to me before turning back to Discord again, " Nonetheless, This cannot, in any possible way, end well with you writing it."

"Oh, why do you have to be so apprehensive?" Discord just kept portalling left, right and center, around me and Celestia, "Why is it that just because, Celestia's big, It makes me small?" He shrank before warping again, this time, behind me.

"If you are writing this fic, I want you to make sure that nothing happens to Shadowmane and my girls." Celestia calmly asked him, "It would break mine and Luna's heart to see anything bad to happen to them, especially in their current forms."

"Alright then, on one condition." Discord got in front of me and Celestia again, "As long as you keep this story cute and attention-grabbing, I'll make sure, not to harm you or your kids."

"Very well then." Celestia was at an impasse here, she knew all too well that foals were the most vulnerable ponies in all of Equestria, and to see them suffer, would crush her spirits forever, "You have control over this fic."

"Splendid! This calls for a celebration!" Discord materialized balloons, streamers and a whole lot of other party stuff, with a disembodied party blower noise in the background, "But one more thing." He warped the stuff away as he said the last thing, "I also don't want the Spirits Of Harmony to find out about this. They're still a little apprehensive about me, even though I gave them my trust. So if, you could zip the lip about this to them, We'll be okay." Discord conjured a zip around both of our faces before we opened then with our hooves, causing the open zips to vanish.

"Very well then." Celestia bowed as she acknowledged Discord's terms, "One more thing for you, Discord, good luck."

"Well, I must be off now." He pulled down a zip, connecting to nowhere which, upon opening, was a portal back to my room, "Take care now, Celestia. You too, Shadowmane."

Discord walked through the portal and closed it behind him as he left. Celestia picked me up and carried me to another room. It was a little like the nursery with the Mane 6 in it, only there were a few other ponies I'd never seen before, or at least couldn't remember that I'd seen before.

The room was lightly coloured, just like the other one. Although the layout was different altogether. It looked like one big maze once I got through the doors. Many foals were playing or running around, and a few were being changed by random ponies who's appearances in the castle were questionable.

"Shadowmane, I know you liked your time with the Spirits Of Harmony, but you need to remember what Discord said." She set me down on the floor and let me get to my hooves again, "We can't tell them about this, and I know you're not very good at keeping secrets."

"It's otay, Cewestia." I said to her with what looked like a smile this time, "Oh and, yoo can caww me Shad, it just sounds easiew to pwonounce."

"Alright then, Shad." She started to walk out, "Oh and don't worry about a thing here. The grown mares in this room will act as caretakers for all the young foals here, knowing you're from the real human world, you should have no problem identifying them, but if you don't I'm sure they'll tell you." She put an aura on the door, "Oh and you don't have to call me by my name as a foal, you can call me mama, ok?"

"Otay, Mama." I said, feeling a little sheepish about saying it. But at least I was by myself, talking to her for the moment.

"I'll see you soon." Celestia closed the door and I got to my feet to travel around the room.

It was bigger than I expected from this angle, like if it was all some kind of optical illusion where everything looks oversized. It was even more expansive when I got to the center of the room, with hundreds of corridors branching from all directions. I looked around for something to do, before I was met by two unicorn foals that I remembered all too well.

____________________________

Celestia came back into the Spirits' main nursery where Luna was just starting to walk out, with the foals waving to her on the way out. Celestia took each foal up in her aura and began to sway them in a soothing motion.

The foals were soon asleep and were being levitated into the designated cribs before Celetia began to sing her song again.

To my dearest little filles, my cutest little foals.
The time has come for you to go to sleep.
But even though this day, has come to an abrupt close.
That doesn't mean it's time for you to weep.
For a new day is dawning soon.
A day for excitement and fun.
Because when one adventure's over.
A new one has already begun.
So sleep tight, my little filles, it's time to rest your head.
Sleep tight my Foals Of Harmony. It's Time to go to bed.

The foals were swept away upon the 4th line and fell asleep in mere seconds, once she saw they were asleep, Celestia put the pacifiers back into their mouths and let them suckle away as they entered dreamland again.

Celestia turned off the lights and walked out of the room, shutting the door gently and quietly. She then walked over to the other nursery with me in it, and looked through the little part of light in the nearly closed door.

I was being rocked to sleep in a unicorn's aura. Once I was fast asleep, she plopped a pacifier into my sleeping mouth and laid me down in a crib next to two little unicorn foals. One had blondish red hair and the other had silver streaks in her blue hair. Celestia smiled before walking down the corridor, back to her private study, where she got to work on the scrolls to send to ponies.
> Matters Regarding Toilet Training
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Come the next day, the Mane 6 felt quite relaxed as the sun streaked in through the glass ceiling. It was as if the sun was their guardian angel, watching over them and making sure nothing bad was to happen to them.

As they slept, they made little to no noise or movement. They were in the most relaxed state they'd been in since, well, forever. All they thought of was to sleep, sleep and lose themselves in the dreams of their own desires. Mostly around foalish things and whatnot. Their deep slumbers also hinted at the fact that their memories were fading, rather fast. Soon they would have no memories of their past whatsoever, and as such, they would no longer remember that they were friends.

However, as their old memories faded, they received new memories at the same time. Memories of the days before, meeting Scootaloo, being raised by the princesses of the sun and moon, and their bonds would live on, as the newborn Foals Of Harmony.

It was hard to tell how long the Mane 6 had been sleeping for, once Twilight awoke at around 10:00 AM. Stirring a little from her beautiful slumber, she quickly readjusted to the light of the room and noticed the other foals were starting to wake up as well.

"Mowning, evewypony." Twilight yawned a little as she pulled herself up to greet the rest of her friends.

"It gotta be said, dat was a gowgeous swumbew." Said Rarity as she adjusted to the light again, "Do yoo tink we'ww see Shad again someday?"

"Pwobabwy not." Twilight decided to speak to get this part over with, "Cewestia took Shad to the Shwine, a foawish haven fow ponies dat suffewed age-wegwession. Dewe's a good chance she's wetting him pway dewe instead."

"Den if dat's da case, why did she make a woom fow us especiawwy?" Dash decided to ask.

"Cewestia knows dat we'we special, a wot more impowtant den odew foaws. She gives us da high wife especiawwy, just fow being ouwsewves."

"But why wouwd she spoiw us wike dis?" Pinkie decided to ask, "We awe just foaws now. It shouwd be no big deaw."

"Maybe dewe's mowe to Cewestia and Wuna dat meets da eye." Twilight pondered as she clambered out of her crib.

"If dat whewe da case, wouwdn't she have towd us by now?" Dash asked next as she darted to another part of the nursery.

"Maybe she's keeping some secwets dat we shouwdn't know about."  Fluttershy then followed up.

"Appwejack? Awe yoo coming?" Twilight asked as she had noticed that the cowgirl foal wasn't out of her crib yet.

There came no response, instead there was a snoring coming from Applejack's position. The girls were kind of worried as they shimmied up the bars of Applejack's crib to find that she was still asleep, and looking quite cosy in her position and blankets. The girls thought best not to wake her, but Rainbow had something else in mind.

Instead of waking the orange mare up, Rainbow slid into Applejack's blankets, making sure not to move them too much.

"Wainbow, wat awe yoo doing?" Twilight whispered as she noticed that Dash was now sleeping next to Applejack, "Get outta dewe, she's about ta wake up!"

Dash actually found the blankets to be cozy, especially since they had been warm from the previous night due to Applejack's slumber. She snuggled in and fell asleep. Twilight made some disgruntled looks before climbing out of Applejack's crib, to head back into her own. Luna's hoofsteps where heard and the other foals dashed back into their cribs, except for Dash, she was fast asleep and didn't even notice Luna's hooves walking into the room.

Luna levitated the blankets off of all of the foals. This caused Dash and Applejack to stir, but everypony else was wide awake and raring to go.

"Well, looks like somepony didn't want to spend the night alone now, didn't she." Luna came over to Dash and Applejack.

"What awe yoo tawking about, Mama Wuna?" Applejack then turned to see Dash sitting next to her, looking at her with guilt on her face, "Wainbow?! Wat awe doing in my cwib?"

"It wooked so inviting." She hung her head and had a tone of guilt, "Sowwy."

"No harm done, my little Dashie." Luna nuzzled her and lifted Dash up in her aura, "Just as long as you didn't have a little oopsie, it couldn't have been bad for her." Luna put Dash down near some padded shapes and then tended to Applejack, "But I don't think Applejack wasn't so lucky to go the night without letting loose."

"Huh?!" Applejack looked down, to see that she had soiled her diaper. She looked so embarrased, and was about to cry before Luna picked her up in her dark aura, "Mama, why me?"

"Shhhhshshsh, don't kick yourself for this." Luna said in a comforting tone, "Not many foals can go the night without wetting themselves. In fact, it's actually the natural thing to do at your age."

"Weawwy?" She sniffled a little.

"Absolutely." Luna laid her down, took of Applejack's current diaper and got to work with a fresh one, "My cute little Foals Of Harmony, you shouldn't feel sad no matter what happens. Always remember that me and Celestia are here for you." Luna just finished applying the powdered diaper to Applejack and was now taping it up at the sides.

"Tank yoo, Mama Wuna." Applejack giggled as she was lifted up into the air once again.

"You're welcome, Applejack." Luna smiled as she set the foal down onto the floor. Once Luna's aura dissipated, she had time to think. 

Suddenly, an idea popped into her head and she pulled all 6 foals towards her using her aura. They shared giggles as they flew in midair, and Luna could not help but smile to this notion.

"Are you girls familiar with wetting yourselves?" Luna decided to ask in a neutral tone.

"Bewieve me, we know wat it feews wike awweady." Dash said as she just stared at the dusk alicorn, "We awso know dat it's vewy embawwasing fow us."

"Trust me." Luna kneeled down so that she could get closer to Dash, "It's embarrasing for everypony to begin with, but soon you'll come to realize that it's just as natural as breathing."

"In anycase, I've been considering wanting to potty train you all. But I'm not sure that Celestia thinks you're ready to give it a shot at this age." The foals were about to tear up before Luna quickly came back with another sentence, "And that's okay. I understand, but if you're willing to prove her wrong, you could all ask her tonight once I go off to do the night duties."

"Mama Wuna, I tink dat whiwe potty twaining is a good idea, I'm not weawwy feewing confident to twy it at da moment." Twilight said sheepishly as a dark spot was growing on her diaper, "See wat I mean?"

"Oh, let me get that." Luna quickly lifted up Twilight and rapidly got to work with the changing. Adding the powder before applying it to the fresh diaper, and making sure to toss out the old one, "There we go, nice and comfy." Luna patted Twilight's diapered flank before setting it back on the floor again.

"Hehe, tanks Mama Wuna." Twilight chuckled as the crinkle noise was made as she sat down again.

"Anything for my cute little Foals Of Harmony." Luna chuckled herself.

"So, it's fine to wet ouwsewvew?" Rarity decided to ask in a curious tone. She had never wet herself in her first foalhood, and she was just concerned about whether or not it would be acceptable considering her personality.

"Don't worry, Rarity." Luna lifted her up and brought her to her motherly face, "Even though you may act like a lady, even the most refined and popular ponies have all had accidents during their childhood eras. Nothing to worry about."

"Awe yoo suwe you'we not wying?" Rarity looked a little apprehensive, " Not even da best and bwightest couwd have wet demsewves, couwd dey?"

"I know they did, because I have proof." Luna then conjured up a photo album, opened it up and held it up at Rarity's face so she could see the pics inside, "There are some ponies you used to know as a grown-up and some you've never even noticed before."

Rarity's eyes darted around the pictures, and was surprised with each one. There were some pictures she pointed at, after which, Luna explained that celebrity's name and claim to fame. And if that wasn't proof enough for the ladylike foal, Luna conjured up some visual aids, showing them wetting themselves.

"Dey weawwy had accidents?" She looked concerned and surprised at this. To see her her many idols before they became idols, and the fact that they had all, done it, was a surprise for her.

The other foals were now looking at the photo album together now, and they too got big surprises. There were a few recognizable faces, including; Photo Finish, Sapphire Shores, The Wonderbolts, Prim Hemline, Trenderhoof and many more beyond them.

"I can't bewieve it." Rarity finally conceded, there was enough proof to deny any accusations she tried to make.

"If it makes you feel any better, they too didn't feel ready for potty training straight away as well." Luna said in a calming voice. She then lifted Rarity up in her aura, leaving the other foals to gaze at the rest of the pictures, mostly foal pictures of celebrity ponies they hadn't even seen yet, "So you see now, Rarity. This is natural for ponies, even the high and mighty ones. Even you and your friends. You shouldn't feel embarrased now, and if you do, remember; Everypony has accidents in foalhood, and I mean EVERYpony."

Rarity mulled it over for a little bit, and them finally cracked a smile, "Hehe, otay, Mama Wuna." She smiled as Luna set her down with her friends.

"And remember, if you do wet yourselves, always remember, Me and Celestia are ready and waiting for you." Luna addresed to all the foals with a smile.

"Otay, Mama Wuna." The foals said in unison and cracked smiles.

"Okay then, you can get back to playing now." Luna smiled and let them all disperse around the nursery. The foals smiled and giggles as they ran off in all directions.

"Twiwight, I nevew towd yoo befowe." Rarity spoke to Twilight in private when none of the other foals were looking, "I nevew wet mysewf duwing my fiwst foawhood." At least she had the memories of her first foalhood to remember. But knowing Age-Regression, this memory would not last for long, "I just wanted ta say dat befowe I fowget it."

"Twust me, Wawity." Twilight smiled, "It may feew wike yoo can't feew it stwaight away, but den yoo feew it and it feews natuwaw."

"Suwe. I'ww twy to wemembew dat." She smiled and the two foals took their separate ways to other parts of the nursery. "So foaws don't feew demsewves wetting deir diapees untiw it's too wate?" Rarity asked to herself before scattering some blocks in an artistic design, "Weww, in any case, I feew much bettew about it now." Rarity smiled as she got to work placing each block in different places around her. She giggled at her finished piece of work, unbeknownst to her that she was wetting herself at this very moment.
> Visiting The Shrine
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rarity was hastily changed by Luna and once it was done, she hadn't even noticed. All Rarity could think of was about that album, how could so many of her idols have hit a low during foalhood? She decided not to let the thought fester in her foalish head as Luna picked Rarity up in her dark blue aura again.

The Mane 6 were indulging deeper and deeper in the foalish life once again, they had decided to slur their words and not even try to make what they say make sense. For some, gurgle speech and word slurring was a challenge to learn, but for the Mane 6, it was pretty easilly and they quickly picked up on the tongue language of foals.

"Hey, Twiwight, wat did yoo say about a shwine eawwiew?" Rainbow Dash looked curious, Twilight had mentioned the Shrine before, but didn't get into much detail about it.

"I vaguewy wemembew it, but when we wewe aww bown togedew, Mama Cewestia towd me about a speciaw woom cawwed da Shwine. It appawentwy acts as a nuwsewy fow odew ponies dat get tuwned into babies." Twilight explained to Dash, who was left with a stunned expression.

"So, if Mama made a nuwsewy fow ponies turwned to foaws, why didn't Mama pwace us in thewe?"

"I tink we'we vewy speciaw ponies dat Mama wikes mowe dan anypony ewse, so wogicawwy, she wouwd give us a gweat woom sepawate fwom de odews."

"We awe pwetty tawented." Dash said as she got a few inches off of the ground with her foalish wings.

"Not dat, I tink Mama wants us to pway some pawt in Equestwia's pwotection and safety."

"Twiwight, didn't yoo heaw?!" Pinkie rushed over with her other foal friends following close behind her. They stopped when they thought they were close enough to Twilight. "Mama's taking us ta see Shad in da Shwine!"

"Shad, weawwy!?" Twilight was ecstatic. She'd known that I had something special about myself and she wanted to know me more. Twilight bounced up and down with Pinkie Pie in joy as they heard that they were going to see me again.

"Dat's wight, Mama nevew tells a wie. She's da same as aww of us." Applejack said as she stood in front of Pinkie and cracked a smile.

"Weww what awe we waiting fow?! Wet's go!!!" Dash said before taking off for Celestia, with the other foals in quick pursuit. Everypony wanted to see me again, after all, I made their world to the fullest, they had to be grateful for something.

"I can't wait ta see Shad again." Fluttershy began as Luna pulled out the 6-way foal carrier. "We had so much fun da wast time we wewe togedew.

"Ok girls, let's get you up and moving." Luna strapped the carrier onto her back. "Firstly, Rarity, come on up, little filly." Luna lifted Rarity up in her dark blue aura again, causing the white foal to giggle as she flew into the seat and landed with the sound of diaper crinkle.

"Hehe, I awways wove dat pawt." Rarity giggled as she was strapped securely into the seat before Luna turned her attention to another foal.

"Next up, Pinkie. Come on my wittle pink star, come on up to mama." Luna said as she lifted the giggling pink foal up in her aura and set her down in the second seat.

"Mama, don't evew stop doing dat." Pinkie smiled as she was clamped into the seat for her protection. "I wove when yoo fwy us and I wish dat it nevew stops, evew."

"Well, I'm glad to know you're happy about that, next up we've got Dashie and Fluttershy. Come on up, darlings." Luna lifted the two pegasi up and they hugged Luna as they flew past her.

"I awways wuv it when Mama Wuna does dat ta us." Dash said as she was sat down and strapped into her seat with a click noise.

"Someday, we'we gonna be abwe to fwy wike dat again." Fluttershy fantasized as she was strapped into her seat on the foal carrier.

"And lastly, Twilight and Applejack. Try not to squirm now, OK, dears?" Luna levitated the last two foals and they squealed in delight as Luna let them fly into their seats and land with a crinkle and a click. "OK, that's everypony. Let's go, girls." And with those words, Luna walked out into the corridors again, with the Mane 6 at her sides at all times.





It took Luna roughly 3-5 minutes to arrive at a door where Celestia was waiting for her. Even with her prowess in both physical and magical skill, the 6-foal-carrier was starting to take its' toll on Luna. She looked winded and very exhausted once she arrived at Celestia and the door she was standing at.

"Let me tell you something real quick, Sister." Luna said in between gasps for her breath. "I think I'm a little out of shape, or at least starting to go out of shape." Luna then gave out and collapsed altogether, the carrier was quickly taken off her with Celestia's magic before Luna collapsed completely.

"OK, Luna, you take that rest." Celestia chuckled as she attached said foal carrier to herself now, so that she was carrying the Mane 6 now. "Now, I will tell you girls that there's a good chance that you'll meet someponies in here that you've had, how shall we say? Bad experiences with." Celestia began explaining to the Foals Of Harmony as she placed a hoof on the door. "BUT... That doesn't mean you have to be mean to them if you remember them at all. They're in the same condition as you girls are at the moment."

"Otay, Mama Cewestia." The foals said in a cute little unison that would cause so much death by cuteness for anyone reading this fic.

"Alright then, girls." Celestia showed a smile and turned to the door again. "Welcome, to the Shrine!" Celestia opened the doors and the foals were awestruck with what they saw.

"WOW!!!" Was all the foals could say as they gazed at the oversized nursery which housed the many foals inside. Just like the Mane 6's nursery, it had a ceiling that looked impossible to reach, other than that, the walls were designed as some kind of maze, to pique a foal's curiosity. There was an entire corner full of cribs, each one was tagged with a foal's name, so that the foal caretakers that were found all over the room could tell where to place each of the foals. Besides that, it was full of things that a nursery would usually have.

There were a few familiar ponies turned foal here, including Flim and Flam, Derpy and Doctor Whooves, but the one the girls remembered was me, Shadowmane. I was stacking blocks like no tomorrow with two other foals, both female and both unicorns that I was sure the girls remembered.

Back to the Foals Of Harmony, though, they were being unstrapped from the carrier and allowed to roam free with the other foals.

Celestia was talking with a few of the caretakers seen around the Shrine, about the regulations for the Mane 6's visit today and about to treat them fairly.

"Make sure that I feed them." She was saying her last rule to them. "They're inclined to my breast milk only and I shudder to think what would happen if they got sick from someone else's milk."

"Yes, your majesty." The caretakers kneeled and saluted Celestia before getting back up and getting back to the foals in the Shrine.

"Hi, Shad." The girls got my attention just by tapping me on the back and I quickly turned to face them.

"Hey, Girwws." I said, a content look on my face. "It's nice ta see yoo again."

They then pulled me into a tight hug, saying stuff like, It's been too long, or, we've missed you. and other stuff like that. But all of them were happy to see me again, especially Fluttershy.

"So, wat's it wike in da Shwine, Shad?" Twilight decided to ask me as she got a good look on the place.

"Oh, Twiwight, it's wondewfuw!" I said, with a little more enthusiasm then I initially intended. "Dewe's a vawiety of tings to do hewe, dewe's nice miwk WITH fwavouw, and if ya use youw diapee, you'we nevew too faw fwom a cawetakew." I was pointing out most of the things in the shrine as I went.

"Have ya made any fwiends yet?" Fluttershy asked next, as she was looking at a few of the other ponies in the Shrine.

"Oh, yeah." I ran back towards two foals that Twilight could have sworn she met before. "I'd wike yoo girws ta meet Twixie and Sunset Shimmew." I said as I pointed them out, "Dewe's a good chance yoo girws don't wemembew dem."

"Hi." The two unicorn foals waved to Twilight and Friends. Twilight could remember these two from somewhere, but her memories of her previous life as a princess were completely dead so she just forgot her suspicions and waved back with her friends following suit.

"What awe we doing just sitting awound? Wet's pway!" Dash said and then we all split up, giggling, looking for something to play or do.





It had been over 2 hours in the Shrine since we were reunited with each other. And already, we were happy as could be. Fluttershy was with a lot of the stuffed animals, making sure not to keep them all for herself and sharing with the other foals. Rarity was over at the blocks, thinking of something to create with her artistic foal mind. Applejack was playing with one of the caretakers, mainly peekaboo and pattycake. Dashie was racing with a few of the other foals. Pinkie Pie was, well Pinkie Pie.

Twilight and I were with Trixie and Sunset. We wanted to know each other better and we decided to sit down and talk together.

"So, Shad, can yoo teww me a wittwe mowe about da Shwine?" Twilight decided to ask in our little discussion circle.

"Fiwstwy, Twiwight, da Shwine takes in ponies dat get age-wegwessed into foaws." I begun to explain. "It awso takes in ponies fwom aww ovew Equestwia, just to be kind towawds aww de Equestwian countwies and ethnicities."

"How did yoo get in hewe, Twixie?" Sunset turned to face the blue foal with a curious look in her eye.

"Weww, I was pwacticing a new speww dat wouwd get me noticed again. But den aww of a sudden, I have a magic suwge and I end up as a foaw." Trixie said, the only memory she could really keep in her foalish mind, was how she was regressed.

"I got hewe in a wittwe bit of a diffewent way..." Sunset said as she put a hoof on her chin and called back to her last day before regression.






Sunset's Point Of View, Day Of Regression.


Sunset was running towards the doors of Canterlot High, a sweat running down her face. She was not going to risk being late again after all the warnings she had gotten over the term. Running up the stairs into the building, Sunset charged for her class, making sure not to bump into anyone as she ran.

"I'm almost there!" She said inbetween pants as she could see her class door. She opened it and caught her breath for a few moments, her head drooped and her hair wet from the sweat. "Sorry I'm late." She said after a few seconds of breathing.

"Actually, you're on time, but just barely." The teacher said as Sunset took her seat. "Alright class, if you could open your textbooks to page 69 please., we're gonna review last week's work on trigonometry..."

The class went by like a snail trying to move, but finally it was over and Sunset headed outside and rested by the portal. She knew that it was still closed for at least 24 more moons so she placed her hand on it to catch some breath.

"Someday, Twilight. Someday, I can be able to repent my sins for real." She sighed and hung her head. If only there was a way to see Twilight and Friends again. If only...

Then all of a sudden, a powerful flash of light emanated from the portal, and Sunset felt her hand slip through into the white nothingness. She was leaned towards the portal too much and fell through it altogether, elicting a little scream as she did.

Sunset fell through the vortex of light, only this time, she felt a pounding sensation in her head. Her screams quickly turned into groans of pain as she felt herself change form. She was now a pony and thought that would be the end of it. But suddenly she got smaller than she had expected, she tried to cry out for help but noticed her voice was a lot higher and childish than usual. She braced for the unthinkable as she exited the light and arrived in Equestria.

She was now in the Crystal Empire, in the portal room. Only this time, everything was larger than she remembered it being. There had to be something about her that was the problem. The Crystal Empire couldn't have possibly gotten taller over the span of a few months.

She got to her hooves, with great difficulty. And turned back to face the portal to see her reflection. Then she got the shock of her life. "I'm a foaw!!!" She said as she gazed at her reflection for a few minutes longer. Eventually her instincts took over and she started to lay down and cry.

She had every reason to cry, she was lost with no-one to care for her or help her in her time of need. Fortunately for her, someone came into the portal room and saw Sunset crying like the foal she literally was.

"Ssssshhshshshsh. Calm down, little one." A kind voice said as she was lifted up into the air and then cradled by some soft pink wings. Sunset was now calm and for some reason happy. Something  was telling her now that she liked to be cuddled and cared for.

"Who awe yoo?" Sunset asked her carer with some big puppy-dog-look eyes. "Why am I a foaw?"

"Don't worry, Sunset. It happens to all of us." The alicorn said as Sunset was taken out of the portal room. "Oh and by the way, you may call me Cadence. And if it were up to me, I'd gladly keep you for my own, however, Celestia made this special nursery back in Canterlot for ponies that suffered the same fate as you. I can take you there if you like."

"Yes pwease, Cadence." Sunset thought it would make a lot of sense, seeing the current state she was in. A nursery was the perfect haven for a foal at her age. She agreed with Cadence and she flew off to Canterlot, making sure not to drop Sunset along the way...






Present Day, The Shrine.


"And dat's how I ended up hewe." Sunset said as she finished explaining her story to the three foals that were listening well. "Fow some weason, da powtaw tuwned me into a foaw as I awwived, Cadance found me and took me to Cewestia and, hewe I am today."

"Intewesting." I said to myself as I pondered Sunset's story. The portal may not be sealed off for 30 moons at a time it would seem, if it could bring Sunset back to Equestria a few months early but at the cost of all of her age. I need to study the portal more when I get the chance.

"Shad? Hewwo? Anypony in dewe?" Twilight was waving her foal hoof in front of my face for a few seconds then got the idea to clap into it. She got quite close to my ears and it quickly broke my concentration. "Yoo kinda zoned out fow a few seconds dewe."

"Sowwy, Twiwight, I was just thinking." I said as I turned to face her.

"About wat?" She asked with a piqued curiosity.

"Oh, nothing. Yoo wouwdn't undewstand."

"Twiwight? Do yoo wike to pway wots?" Trixie asked this time a clear sign than she was getting a little bored of sitting on her diapered rump all the time.

"Yeah, I wove to pway! Dat's aww I evew do back in my woom!" Twilight was so enthusiastic. Her foalish mind had completely consumed her adult mind now and all she could think about was foalish things. She still retained control over her body but had some foalish interests and desires instead of what she used to think about.

"Weww come on. We'we gonna pway on da swides fow a few minutes. Shad and I wove to go down togedew on dem." Sunset and I were leading Twilight and Trixie over to another part of the Shrine where said slides stood. There were some foals already on them, but not enough so that it was over crowded.

There were slides that twisted, slides for many, and even the classic slides for one. But the best slide of all was the really wide one, wide enough for all four of us. We loved that one the most, picking ourselves up and holding our hooves before zipping down the padded track, giggling throughout the whole experience.

"Wow. Dat was amazing!!!" Twilight said as she came to thebottom of the slide, on her back laughing with me, Sunset and Trixie. We were all happy and laughing in delight. "I don't have a swide back in my woom."

"Aww, weawwy?" Sunset asked. "Dat's a shame."

"Yeah. I know." Twilight said before climbing up to the top of the wide slide with me, Sunset and Trixie again. We threw ourselves down again and giggled the whole time.

Meanwhile, Celestia kept a close on me, Twilight, Sunset and Trixie. We were all having fun throwing ourselves down the slides over and over again. Each time ending up on our backs, laughing in delight. "Well, I know what I'm adding to their room now." Celestia smiled and contacted one of the guards in her castle. "Get the Foals Of Harmony a slide for their room. It looks like Twilight and Shadowmane are having a lot of fun on the slides on the Shrine."
> Discord's Recruitment Drive
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I was playing with the Mane 6, Sunset and Trixie, I couldn't help but feel like something was missing from this. I then shrugged it off as a coincidence once one of the caretakers blew a raspberry onto my belly, causing me to giggle uncontrollably.

"Shad, I tink you awe da best ting ta have happened ta us." Rarity smiled as she pulled me into a foal's hug.

"Tanks, Wawity." I said in return. I too was enjoying this experience as well. There'd never been an Age-Regression business or Age-Regression object in the real world from my knowledge, and I always pined for eternal childhood for some reason. And now that Discord had done this to me, I was actually very grateful to him for it.

Suddenly, I heard a rumbling coming from from the Mane 6. They needed to have a drink, from Celestia and/or Luna. I let them go off to do their breastfeeding business, whilst I, along with Trixie and Sunset went off to get a quick change.

After I had my change, I went off to find a ball for me and my friends to play with. I found a purple ball with white stars all over it (It's basically the second ball from the App) and picked it up, but not before Discord popped up right on top of it.

"Discowd! Wat do yoo want now?" I asked him with a mix of fury and curiosity.

"Oh nothing, Shadowmane. I just wanted to check up on you and the girls." He said as he looked around the corner to see the Mane 6 being tickled by Celestia and Luna. "From the looks of things, they're fine, yet I can't say the same about you."

"Tell me, Shadowmane, what's been on your mind?" I was suddenly on a shrink's couch with Discord sitting on a nearby stool.

"I dun weawwy know ta be honest." I said. "I guess I'm just stawting ta get bowed of just having Twixie and Sunny as my fwiends."

"So, you want to break up with them?" He asked, now wearing a schoolgirl's outfit.

"No, no. I guess I'd just like some new foaws ta pway wid, yoo know, vawiety keeps tings intewesting." I finally explained, causing Discord to put things back to normal.

"Well, why didn't you just say so in the first place?" He said, a smile growing on his face. "If you just wanted some more foals in this story, you could have just called on me in the first place. It's not like I have anything better to do until Season 5 anyways."

"You'ww weawwy bwing in some mowe foaws fow us?" I asked, wanting confirmation that Discord was going to stick by his word.

"Absolutely, Shadowmane. I am your assistant after all." He then pulled out a list and a quill out of thin air. "Just sign the names of the ponies you want to see as foals on this list, and I'll bring them to the Shrine for you, Trixie and Sunset in two shakes of my tail."

"But I will warn you. Once I've turned your choices into foals, there's no turning back. They'll be stuck growing up all over again, so think carefully about your choices..."

I didn't even need to think, I was alright with this. I took the quill and wrote the names I wanted as best as I could. Eventually, I wrote down Lightning Dust, Coco Pommel, Photo Finish, Sapphire Shores, Flitter and Cloudchaser, Octavia, Lyra, Bon Bon, and finally, Vinyl Scratch.

"Just be suwe dat yoo make theiw foawish moments adowabwe fow my audience." I smiled as I handed the list and quill back to Discord.

"Don't worry, Shadowmane. They'll all be in the Shrine within 30 minutes or your pizza's free." Discord wore a pizza delivery outfit before shedding it and disappearing in a burst of light.

After I readjusted to the light of the Shrine, I saw Trixie and Sunset crawling up to me. They had looks of concern on their faces, I had initially thought they had seen Discord and me talking, but they said something that made me relieved.

"Shad, awe yoo otay?" Trixie asked as she saw me getting to my hooves.

"You wewe in dewe fow a whiwe." Sunset followed Trixie's statement up with a concerned statement of her own.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said as I picked up the ball with my faint little smidgeons of unicorn magic. "Do yoo two evew tink it gets bowing in hewe, wid just me and a few othew ponies?"

"Why did yoo ask dat?" Sunset asked me, her curiosity piqued.

"No weason." I replied to her before saying the next words in my mind. "I just hope that Discord knows where to find my choices..."





Discord was lounging on a cloud, hanging upside down like a bat whilst sipping a fruit drink from a coconut. At the same time, he was checking the Ponyville skies for Flitter and Cloudchaser. He then pulled out a picture from his mane to see what these two pegasi looked like.

"Well, I think Shadowmane chose some good choices with Flitter and Cloudchaser here." He said as she saw the two chatting in mid-flight. He then saw them flying into the middle of an open space with no-one witnessing them. "Now's my time to move, Shadowmane's about to get two new arrivals."

He pursued the two mares, hiding behind clouds to make sure they couldn't find him when they turned around in suspicion. He got closer and closer until he was right next to them, just concealed by a cloud.

"So, how are you handling in the Cloudsdale Patrols?" Flitter asked Cloudchaser as the two were wrapped deep in conversation.

"Good, good. Nothing usually tries to attack Cloudsdale anyways." She said, to answer her friend's question. "But still, I keep a watchful eye on our home, making sure no-one tries a sneak attack."

"Now then, you two. It's time to take a trip down memory lane." Discord held up two more copies of the white ball he used on me in each of his hands. He popped up right behind them and prepared to slam the two of them with these balls.

"You know, as a Cloudsdale Patrol Member, it always pays attention to check your surroundings." She said right as Discord prepared his strike. "You never know when enemy forces could try and-"

"DISCORD!!!" Was all that Flitter could say before the two of them were consumed by the white balls and youthened by Discord's power.

"Come on, ladies. Let's keep you young for a few more years." He said as he merged the two balls together before taking up a pitching stance in midair. He was now wearing what looked like a baseball pitcher's outfit and spat to the ground as he held up the ball. "Batter up!" He then slung the ball at Canterlot Castle, on the precise location of the front door.

As the ball crashed into the ground, one of the guards saw a wicker basket in its' place. There was a pink basket covering up the surprise inside. Another of Celestia's guards picked up the basket and saw what was inside. Two pegasus foals with magenta coloured coats.

"Bring these two to the Shrine, and be sure to inform Princess Celestia and Princess Luna about the new arrivals." He instructed to his fellow guards, who saluted to comply with his demands.

"Well, that's two down, and only 8 more to go." He crossed Flitter and Cloudchaser off the list with his claw and disappeared in a flash of light to grab the remaining ponies he was foalizing.





"When awe dey gonna get hewe?" I asked myself as I was being fed by one of the caretakers. "Discowd had bettew not have bwoken his deaw awweady."

I paced the room, waiting impatiently for the first of my recommended foals to arrive. I eventually began to roll around on the floor and play with myself to kill some time.

Just when I thought the wait was unbearable, the doors opened up with two guards delivering a basket into the room. I crawled over to get a closer look, but one of the caretakers hoisted me up before I could even get close to the basket.

I was still able to get a good look at what was inside the basket though. I smiled as I saw two foals being picked out of it and being hugged by two more caretakers.

As I was getting changed, I could make out a lot of the two foals' bodily colours. The first one had a purple coat and white hair with streaks of silver, her hair was a bit spiky, so the caretakers completely restyled it into a pigtails hairstyle.

The second foal had a little bit of a lighter purple coat and had gorgeous light-green hair. The real topper that made her look cute was the massive bow in her mane, it was similar to Applebloom's bow, only it was a little bit brighter than Applebloom's bow.

After I was slipped into a new diaper, I was carried over to a little playpen where the two new foals were being put down. The two foals looked around confused, whilst I merely smiled and walked over to them.

"Hewwo, giwws!" I welcomed them the best I could. "Wewcome to da Shwine!"

"Wat happened ta us?" Flitter asked, in a high pitched voice that could have put the Breezies' voices to shame. "Why awe we foaws?"

"I guess fate is a cwuew mistwess." I lied, I knew that Discord was behind this, I just didn't want to tell them, lest they tell on Celestia that I'd been a naughty foal.

"Actuawwy, Fwittew, yoo said someting about wanting ta be a few yeaws youngew." Cloudchaser smiled as she crawled over to a ball in the corner of the playpen.

"By dat, I wanted ta get a new shampoo and coat wash." She frowned. "I didn't wanna be a foaw again when I said dat."

"Cawm down, Fwittew." I crawled over to her and hugged her, cracking a smile on how adorable Flitter as a foal looked, especially from this close. "Dis isn't youw fauwt, and it wasn't Cwoudchasew's fauwt eithew."

"But wat awe we gonna do now?" Flitter asked me, even though it was obvoius what the answer was gonna be now.

"Yoo couwd do what aww we othew age-wegwessed foaws in situations wike dis; Wighten up, pway, make fwiends, act wike foaws, and most of aww, have some FUN wid dis."

"Yeah, come on, Fwittew, we have at weast a dozen yeaws ta wait untiw we gwow up again." Cloudchaser was bouncing a ball in her hooves. "Hehe, by da wooks of tings, I've got a headstawt on dis foaw fun."

Flitter sighed in a defeated tone and crawled over to a nearby doll in another corner. She picked the doll up in her hooves, and found that the softness of the doll quickly gave her joy. She began manipulating the doll's limbs to make it dance for her.

"Actuawwy, dis IS fun." Flitter's imagination was starting to catch up with her, the feelings of playing with toys was quickly starting to return to her. She was too wrapped up in the doll, saying nothing besides a few babbles of content here and there. Flitter was happy now, as a foal. Nothing was going to change that.

I watched the two playing happily before seeing that the door opened again for another new arrival. This time, there were the foalized versions of the legendary pony modeling agent, Photo Finish, and the almighty Equestria Popstar, Sapphire Shores.

"Discowd's weawwy doing his job weww." I smiled as I watched the two being diapered and kissed before being set down with a few other foalized ponies.

Eventually, the three of us were carried out of the playpen so that we could go and get some exercise with the other foals in the room. I introduced Flitter and Cloudchaser to Sunset, Trixie, and the Mane 6 before greeting Sapphire and Photo, who were still confused on what happened to them.

"Wha? Who awe yoo? Why awe we hewe?" Sapphire asked me with a look of concern on her face. She had only had 30, maybe 45 seconds to come to terms that she'd been age-regressed into a foal by something, or from my knowledge, someONE.

"Dun wowwy." I smiled and put a hoof on her shoulder. "Dis wasn't youw fauwt, Sapphiwe. It's just a wawe occuwence." I smiled and got her onto her hooves.

"But why awe we foaws? We'we da most famous ponies in Equestwia, besides Wuna and Cewestia." Photo Finish said. I hadn't noticed it straight away, but Photo Finish didn't have her glasses in her foalish state, so I was able to see her eyes. They were a nice shade of crimson. "Wat's gonna happen ta ouw weputation when evewypony finds out we'we foaws?"

"Cawm down." I said as I held down her flailing hooves. "Dis happened ta evewypony in hewe, even me."

"But now wat awe we gonna do?" Sapphire asked as she had that look of concern in her eyes again.

"Just twy and have fun." I began to explain to them the principles of being age-regressed and the joys that can come out of it. "You'we stuck wike dis fow a whiwe, why not have a wittwe fun wid it?"

"Fine." Sapphire sighed in defeat. "I guess you'we wight about dat, why be stuck as a foaw widout having a foawdom expewience?" So she began to walk, giggling as her hooves met with the Shrine's nice and soft padding.

"Weww, I guess a few mowe yeaws as a foaw dun sound dat bad." Photo Finish agreed with me now and crawled over to a nearby slide. "i mean, Sapphiwe's having fun wid dis, and I dun wanna stick out wike a sowe hoof." She took herself to the top of the slide and launched herself down it. When she came to the bottom, I saw her laughing happily, like a foal usually would.

It was at this time I realized, these two were big name celebrities in Equestria. I was worrying about what would happen to the mobs of ponies when they found out about this.

Suddenly, I heard a whisper in my ear as I was crawling back over to Flitter and Cloudchaser, who were playing tag with Sunset, Trixie, and the Mane 6.

"Shadowmane, there's no need to be so worried." It was Discord's voice, I remembered that tone of voice very well, "I don't completely remove ponies and humans from their lives with my Youth-Oria spheres. They just create clones of the person or pony that gets ensnared by them."

"Wat does dat even mean?" I asked, clearly confused by this.

"It means, that Sapphire Shores and Photo Finish will still be playing gigs and modeling ponies. The Youth-Oria spheres I used can make copies of the foalized person or pony, so that they don't interfere with their lives completely. Let me show you."

He shined a flash of light and saw a portal appear in front of me. I assumed that only me and Discord could see it, as nopony else was looking at us. It was hard to make out, but I could see the exact locations of where the Youth-Oria spheres had struck me, Flitter, Cloudchaser, Photo Finish, and Sapphire Shores.

I saw some more white magic take shapes into some living shapes. One turned into an exact copy of me, then filled itself in with the colours and skin to make it seem like an exact clone of me. The same thing happened on the sites of where Discord did it on the ponies, making grown up copies of all the ponies he had regressed.

"You see now, Shadowmane. I don't completely ruin your lives, I just give you a little vacation and clone your grown up self once you get regressed. Consider it my birthday present to you today."

"Tanks, Discowd." I smiled, It was indeed my birthday today, at least in the human world. And having no worries or anxiety about my past life, or the past lives of any other ponies was a great gift to get. That and an Xbox One with Titanfall, Titanfall is a fantastic game with great visual details and design. The Titans are a great mechanic and were very flexible. This was truly a great compliment to the Call Of Duty series in every physical way possible! Sorry about that, where were we?

"You're welcome, Shadowmane." Discord smiled before vanishing back to my room. "Now off you go. You have some more time to play before the girls go back to their room."

Discord's voice disappeared and I crawled over to the 10 ponies who were playing tag with each other. I could see that Flitter was it, seeing as all the other foals were running from her, each one of them giggling all the while. I quickly joined in the fun and began running with them, not a care in the world whatsoever.
> A World Without Age
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I watched as more and more ponies came to the Shrine. At first I thought it was all well and good, but I also noticed that there were some other bronies' OCs being added into the mix. I questioned this occurrence for a while, before I remembered that Discord was controlling this fic now, he had the power.

I also wondered why he would do this for a few moments. All I wanted were a few new foals to play with, but this was starting to get ridiculous on a number of my accounts. First off, how could he even fit all these guys and gals here? Second, how did he even find them if they lived in America?

I decided not to take this too seriously, as this was an Age-Regression story, and that any further regressing was an okay thing here. I decided to bear a smile and a cute voice as I welcomed these OC foals with open hearts and warm hugs.

The first OC foal had spiky light blue hair, a brown coat, and shiny sky-blue eyes. He was a pegasus known only as Sky Hooves. He was accompanied by a little white pegasus with black hair and blue eyes. This one was Night--Mist, the one and only. He was a famous Age-Regression artist, like me, but nowadays it seems like he spends all of his time writing blog posts instead of updating his stories.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! Night--Mist!" I said, happy to see him after so long. "I'm such a huge fan of youw wowk, Night--Mist! Teww me, how do yoo do it?" I was clearly fangirling over him, Night--Mist is one of my favourite writers on this site, along with TheConflictedWriter, MythrilMoth, and many others.

"Howd up..." He said, remembering my voice and character design now. "Shadowmane? Shadowmane PX-41?" He asked me, to get clarification.

"Yes, it's me, Nighty." I said, giggling at the clever nickname I gave to him. "I'm back at da wheew aftew so wong." Then I remembered that I wasn't alone and that I needed to give my partner some credit as well. "Oh, and Discowd's hewe wid me as weww. Say hi, Nighty."

"Hi, Discowd." He waved up to the ceiling, remembering that Discord was watching this fic unfold from my room.

"Hello, Night--Mist." He said casually, as if he was just exchanging pleasantries.

"So, if you'we Shadowmane, does dat mean..." Sky Hooves pondered as he decided to piece a puzzle together on where they were at long last.

"Dat's wight, wewcome ta Foaws Of Hawmony." I said, telling him exactly where he and Night--Mist had wound up. "Wight now you'we in a chaptew cawwed A Wowwd Without Age. Whewe Discowd-"

"Shadowmane, spoilers!" Discord said, covering my mouth with his bear hand again. "Have you not learned anything from Shadowsun, The Demon Queen?"

"Shadowsun?" I asked.

"Sunset Satan wouldn't do anymore, it was getting a little too boring. So I jazzed it up a little." Discord was now wearing a jazz outfit and was wearing a sash, which was holding a saxophone.

"Oh, wight." I said, remembering that I too was in favor of naming Sunset Shimmer's Demon, so that it sounded dark and villainous. "I fowgot aww about dat."

"Discowd, wat do yoo want wid us?" Sky Hooves asked him with a look of concern and anger on his face. "We did noting wwong wid ouw wives."

"Even I agwee wid Sky Hooves." I backed him up and we both stared down Discord with eyes that could pierce metal "Dis isn't wat I wanted. I wanted some new foaws, not fow yoo to steaw othew wwitews."

"Yoo bettew have a good expwanation fow dis, Discowd, ow ewse." Night--Mist stood with us, making us a trio of confident foals who were brave enough to stare down a Draconequus.

"Or else what?" He said slyly as he thought he had nothing to fear.

"Ow ewse, we'ww teww Mama on yoo, and den you'ww get kicked out of dis stowy and tuwned back into stone." I explained to him, still retaining my pride and dignity, even if I was speaking in a foal's voice.

"Oh, fine. If you want to hear my story, I guess I could spare you a few minutes." He said as he brought up a special book and held it down to our faces.

"Once upon a time, there was a writer called Shadowmane PX-41, a Draconequus called Discord, and a world without age." Discord's story suddenly had animated pictures that accurately portrayed what he was talking about.

"The world without age started with a story called Eternal Foalhood, made by Shadowmane. Here, he took many writers from the FIMFiction world, and placed them into one story, where they could all live in peace and harmony, never worrying about dying of old age, when foal ages was the only age in this world."

"Sounds bowing." I said, deadpanning the idea in a few seconds flat. "My Age-Wegwession stowies awways have a pwot behind dem, but having an Age-Wegwession stowy wid no pwotwine, wouwd make it seem bowing and pointwess."

"It worked for and is still working for Super-Stallion, the author of Foal Adventures." He said as he brought up the Foal Adventures main page, which had 132 likes and only 16 dislikes. "And I should know, as I've worked with him. By the way, he makes a TON of spelling errors, and he never even bothers to fix them."

"Yeah." Sky Hooves said, remembering that Super-Stallion DID make a lot of spelling errors in his time. "Teww me about it."

"Anyways, in this story, which Shadowmane WILL make, sooner or later, it involves him, and a select group of foalized writers going on a quest around their world, finding out the truth about the power of Age-Regression, so that they can find some way to control its' mighty powers, and become the rulers of their eternal land."

"Otay, I'ww bite, Discowd." Night--Mist said, looking quite intrigued by the final idea. "Dat sounds wike an intewesting fic."

"And someday, Shadowmane here will be responsible for maintaining this magnificent new world of his, making sure that everything is hunky-dory for his kind." Discord make the book vanish, so that he could see us again.

"But, dat doesn't expwain wat Nighty and Sky awe hewe." I said, looking even more confused than usual. "Yoo just expwained a possibwe futuwe stowy, and not why Nighty and Sky awe hewe."

"Oh, THAT." Discord said, finally realizing what I was asking from him. "My bad."

"Wight den, no mowe fawse stowies, Discowd." I wanted to validate this fact with him. "If yoo tawk about any futuwe wowks and wefuse to tawk about why Nighty and Sky awe here, I'ww have Mama tuwn yoo back into stone and smash yoo up on da spot."

"Alright then, for Night--Mist, this is his punishment for not updating his stories in FOREVER." He turned to face the little white and black pegasus foal with a little scowl. "I know you have Navy business to attend to, but you have to at least update your fics at a regular rate. I mean, take Shadowmane here, he updates his fics regularly, even though he has school, Call of Duty, family events, and many other things to attend to as well. Could you take a little piece from his book once in a while?"

"I'ww twy." Night--Mist said, hanging his head in shame as even he admitted he was starting to fall behind on his stories.

"And as for you, Sky Hooves." Discord turned once more, to eye down the brown pegasus with sky-blue hair. "You need to take a little vacation from your hard work, and this is the best way to do it."

"Otay, I tink I get dis now." He said, placing a hoof in his mouth, as per his newly developing instincts would permit him to do so. "So dis is aww pawt of youw pwan, is it?"

"Yes, yes it is." He said, tenting his fingers together with a smile in his face. "I won't go into more detail now, you three need some time to play before the sun sets." Discord revealed to us the sun, and how it was very close to setting. Then he vanished in a flash of light.

"Oh, wight, da stowy." I said, as I looked at the Mane 6, who were now playing with Photo Finish, Sunny, Flitter and Twixie. "I spent so much time tawking about stowies, I fowgot da cute pawts of dis stowy."

"Weww, wet's go den." Sky Hooves said, as he moved his diapered flank over to the rest of the group, not even giving us a few seconds to react. "I need some entewtainment anyways."

"Yoo coming, Nighty?" I called back and now saw that he was curled up in a ball-like fashion, obviously worried about something. I could see it in his eyes, he missed being in his story.

"Wiww I evew see my Mama again?" He asked me. Knowing that he had grown fond of being mothered by Luna in his own story, he was worried whether or not he'd be able to see her again.

"Absowutewy." I said, remembering that I too had Luna as my Mama in this story. I sat down and patted his back. "Dun wowwy abuot dis, Nighty. I too have Wuwu as my Mama, Wuwu AND Tia to be pwecise.

"Dat's... Actuawwy much bettew den I couwd have hoped." Night--Mist looked up at me with a smile on his face now. "Yeah, wet's go and pway."

"Good ta heaw dat." I walked over to the rest of the rest of the playing foals with Night--Mist close behind me. "Wewcome to my stowy, Nighty. I hope yoo enjoy youw time hewe."

And with that, the three of us went back to our regular foalish business. Playing with our friends, doing foal stuff, and having a good time in general.





"Hey, Shad." The Mane 6 greeted me once I got back to them, with two new foals behind me.

"Hey, giwws." I greeted them happily and began to show them the foals I have just included the story. "I'd wike yoo to meet Nighty and Sky." I pointed both of them out, so the girls could remember their names well and that they wouldn't confuse one with the other.

"Hi." They both waved.

"Hewwo dewe. I'm Fwittew, dat's Cwoudchasew, thewe's Sapphiwe Showes, and next ta me is Photo Finish." Flitter greeted Night--Mist and Sky Hooves, then pointed out each of the foals as she said their names. "Thewe awe many mowe foaws you'ww meet, but we'we da ones dat Shad had da most time wid."

"A pweasuwe ta meet yoo, Fwittew." Sky Hooves smiled and walked up to her and then sat down in front of her. "Yoo wanna pway pattycake wid me?"

"Hehe, otay, Sky." She giggled and pulled up her hooves to begin. "I awways wike pwaying dis game, especiawwy when I do it wid Shad and his fwiends."

"Yeah, Shad's a nice guy once yoo get ta know him." Night--Mist began to play pattycake with Flitter, bumping his hooves against hers, whilst singing a melodic rhyme as they played. "One wittwe bweezie, fwying fweewy, with his fwiend, who was touchy-feewy."

"Tagedew da two dem wewe pewfectwy gweat, untiw dey both awwived home wate!" Flitter said, ending the rhyme in a hilarious note. After her ending, she laughed happily, with Night--Mist joining in too.

"Hehe, you'we weawwy good at dis, Nighty." Flitter said, as she finally calmed herself to talk to him.

"Tanks, yoo two." He said back. "I'm pwetty good at whyming tings."

"I tink yoo and I awe gonna have a gweat time tagedew, Nighty." Flitter said as she and Night--Mist went off to another area of the Shrine, so that they could find something else to do with their remaining time.

"So, Shad. How accompwished a wwitew wouwd yoo say yoo awe?" Sky Hooves asked me, obviously a fanboy of my work who liked answering questions.

"I'd say I'm a pwetty good wwitew in aww honesty. I make a tiny bit of punctuation ewwows at times and don't even know about dem. Wuckiwy, I have weadews to point dem out ta me, so I can fix dem." I explained to Sky Hooves as best I could, since I was a foal like him.

"Otay, weww now dat I got an impowtant question off of my chest, yoo wanna pway wid me?" He asked me as he looked around for something for the both of us to use. "Ummmm... Ah, dewe dey awe." He pointed out a nearby scattering of blocks, both oddly shaped and lettered.

"Suwe, I awways wike a bit of fun." I agreed, but then decided to invite some more friends to play with us. "Twixie, Sunny, yoo two wanna pway wid us?"

"Suwe, coming, Shad." The two of them shared a giggle before coming over with us to the nearby blocks so that we were all doing this together.

"Who shouwd have de honouws of stawting us off?" Sunset asked the group, eager to begin as always.

"I vote Twixie." Sky Hooves said, pointing a hoof at Trixie, who looked a little surprised and happy at the same time. "She's pwetty as a foaw."

"Hehe, tanks, Sky." Trixie blushed at the comment that Sky Hooves had given her. "But I dun tink I desewve dat offew."

"Oh, come on, Twixie. I've awways wanted ta see how cute yoo'd be when you'we a foaw." Sky Hooves pleaded lightly for her. "Do it fow me, and Shad hewe."

"Uh, whadda yoo tink, Sunny?" Trixie decided to consult the only other filly of this group, "Shouwd I go fiwst?"

"Pewsonawwy, I agwee wid Shad and Sky hewe." Sunset began to explain to Trixie. "Yoo awways cawwed youwsewf da Gweat And Powewfuw Twixie! aftew aww." Sunset said, imitating the old Trixie as she did.

"Weww..." She looked at the two of us again.

"Pwease?" We both asked together, in a foalish manner which usually caused anyone to yield.

"Otay den, Da Gweat And Powewfuw Twixie wiww begin!" She said, playacting in her usual manner.

"Yay!!!" We all decided to play on with Trixie's little make-believe and applauded her as she placed the first block in place.

There was no doubt about it, Sky Hooves and Night--Mist were going to feel right at home in this fic and the one focused on us all, as well as Trixie and Sunset. I will get around to making that fic one day, and it would be appreciated if someone reading this could make a picture for the other story I explained earlier.

But requests for a picture for the other story, I think life in this fic was going to be perfect, and it would only get better from here, now that I had Night--Mist and Sky Hooves here with me to keep me company.





"Alright, everyone, it's time for your last meal before you go to bed." Glimmer said as she had her colleagues gather the rest of the foals up for our last feeding. Glimmer was a kind and caring unicorn worker here and was focused exclusively on caring for me, Trixie and Sunset. She had a nice shining purple poofy mane and a aquamarine coat. Her Cutie Mark happened to be a bright flash of light for some reason I never discovered.

She picked me up with her magic and gave me my fair share of breast milk, as the other workers were feeding their foals. She raised me up to her nice teat, and I began nursing within seconds of reaching said teat.

The milk I drank was nice and warm, with a nice little hint of cinnamon thrown in for good measure. But either way, it was breast milk and I loved drinking every drop of it.

Once I finished drinking my fill, Glimmer burped me gently, which caused me to laugh happily. After that, I was laid down in a crib with Trixie and Sunset, who looked quite cozy under the blankets.

"Night-Night, Sky. Night-Night, Nighty." I said to Sky Hooves and Night--Mist as they were being carried over to another crib away from me. I wished the two a good night before they were laid down to sleep.

"Night-Night, Shad." They both called out, waving me a goodnight before being taken away to their crib for the night.

"Night-Night, giwws." I called out to the Mane 6, as I now saw that Celestia was taking them back to their room for the night. It was the rightful thing to do, as they were under Celestia's and Luna's guidances. They were their children after all, not my six sisters. Though a part of me wishes that was the case, the other parts are glad that it isn't the case.

"Night-Night, Shad." They all called out before they left the Shrine for the night.

After they left me, Night--Mist and Sky Hooves to sleep, we all got pacifiers for the night, to help us sleep without being disturbed. The caretakers we all had were now singing lullabies to help us get to sleep, and once they had all finished, we were all snoozing quite nicely, waiting for the next day to begin.





Meanwhile, Celestia looked back at the Mane 6 and saw that they were fast asleep themselves. They were all snoring or talking in their sleep and it looked so cute to her.

"Sleep tight, girls." She said as she carried them back to their main room for the night. Once she got to the door, she was greeted by Luna, who held the door open for her sister, who complimented her for this action. "Thanks, Luna."

"You're welcome, sister." She said as she let Celestia in to lay the foals down to their beds. She then peeked in to see that Celestia was kissing the foals as she tucked them in for the night.

"Have a good night, girls." Celestia said quietly as she made it to the door and then walked out. She shut the door quietly and then turned to face her sister, who looked at her with a smile on her face.

"You seem to have a lot of affection for the girls, I see." Luna said, looking at Celestia with a little smirkish look. "Do you think I could ever be that nice around foals?"

"Oh, don't worry yourself with that, Luna." Celestia said as the two of them walked down the corridor to let the Mane 6 sleep for the night. "I've seen it deep within your heart many times. You know how to be kind and caring to any infant, whether they be pony or animal."

"You really think so?" She wanted a little clarification, she knew it was her sister she was talking to, but she wanted to be sure.

"I know so." Celestia unfurled her wing around Luna's body, so that she felt comforted. "Come on, let's get some cake." And with that, the two motherly rulers went off to get some cake.
> Going Swimming
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the morning of the next day, the Mane 6 all woke up in their nursery once more. They basked in the warming rays of Celestia's sun for quite some time before they noticed Luna walking into the room with a smile on her face. Their smiles never faded when they turned their gaze towards Luna. They had loved her and Celestia for helping them through this chaotic endeavour, both as parents and platonically as well.

They were all levitated out of their individual cribs gently with Luna's magic and put down on the floor to get a little playtime in before the events Luna would set in motion for them today.

"Good morning, little ones." Luna said, smiling as she let the Mane 6 lay their foalish eyes on her again.

"Good mowning, Mama Wuna!" they all said back to her with smiles on their faces once again. They knew that Luna's comforting gaze told them that everything was wonderful. They all had started to like being foals again, with Luna being there to guide them through this endeavour.

"I hope that you all have a wonderful day today with me and my sister," Luna said, nuzzling each of the foals in order. She went for Pinkie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight and finally Rarity. "We've both got something good planned for you today..."

"Someting good?" Rarity said, her curiosity instantly piqued when Luna had finished talking. Now that she was a foal, Rarity always looked forward to whatever the day's adventures might bring. "Wat is it, Mama Wuna?"

"You'll find out soon enough, Rarity. But for now, I think you and the rest of the girls need to have some playtime before I show you," Luna said, getting Rarity to wonder what could possibly be in store for her and her friends. "Now off you go, I'll be right here if you need anything..."

"Tanks, Mama Wuna!" the group all said before they toddled off to go and play with their toys and whatever they could find.

The Mane 6 all moved to whatever caught their eyes. For Rarity, it was a rather soft cuddly doll that had her attention. She picked up the doll and hugged it tightly, letting herself become immersed in the soothingly soft fabrics of the toy she was swaddling.

As for Applejack and Pinkie, they found the blocks to be a rather enjoyable thing to play with. They spent their time casually stacking the colourful plastic bricks to be quite a wonderful thing for them to do. It had been so long since they had had such a wonderful experience of being foals and were actually quite happy that this had happened to them all.

Twilight and Fluttershy were over with the stuffed animals. They'd laid them all in a circle and were having what looked like an imaginary tea party with all the cuddly animals they had found. They drank imaginary tea from imaginary cups and made cute foal talk between sips.

"Umm... Mama? Can yoo pway Hide-and-seek wid me?" Rainbow Dash asked as she crawled over to Luna once she saw the other girls were rather busy with what they were doing. She looked up at the motherly alicorn princess of the night with puppy-dog eyes and waited for her response.

"Of course, Rainbow Dash..." Luna said, stroking her rainbow coloured mane gently. She smiled as she caressed her sweet little foal and wanted to make sure that she was happy and healthy for the journey ahead of her. "Now then, you run off and hide whilst I count to ten, alright?"

"Hehe, otay, Mama Wuna." Rainbow Dash smiled as she waited for Luna to close her eyes up and begin her counting.

"Alright then. Run off and hide, little one..." Luna covered up her eyes with her hooves and immediately heard Rainbow Dash scurrying away to another part of the nursery. She smiled upon hearing this sound and decided to play along with it. "One... Two... Three..."

Rainbow Dash ran over to her mini-room, trying to hide behind whatever she found to be the best hiding spot. She first thought that her swing would be a good spot, but then shrugged it off when she realized that her hooves and diaper would be visible. Eventually, she made a dive for the ball pit and hid inside, hoping that the sounds of her friends would cancel out the noise that the shuffling plastic balls would make.

"Eight... Nine... Ten! Ready or not, here I come, Rainbow Dash!" Luna said, in the most playful manner she could have mustered up. Her enthusiasm meant that she was ready to begin the hunt for Rainbow Dash.

Luna walked around the nursery, looking for Rainbow Dash in every possible area she could think of. First, she started with the cribs, seeing as they were tall enough for a foal to crawl under as a good hiding point. When that effort proved fruitless, she moved on to the mini-rooms that had lots of things inside of them.

"Oh my... Wherever could that little rapscallion be?" Luna said in a rather medium-loud voice, trying to coax Rainbow Dash out with some of her reverse-psychology. "I guess that if I can't find her, she won't be able to have her special treat for the day..."

"A tweat?!" Rainbow Dash immediately burst up from the ball-pit and ran over to Princess Luna, immediately remembering what game they'd been playing and now knew how clever Luna had just been.

"Haha, got you, Rainbow Dash." Luna said as she gently booped Rainbow Dash's muzzle, getting her to hang her head in defeat.

"Aww, howsefeathews." Rainbow Dash said in a conceded tone as she finally pieced together the fact that Luna had been playing her like a harp with her little ruse.

"Don't look so sad, Rainbow Dash. It's common for foals to be found in Hide-and-seek..." Luna said, recalling her own memories of being a foal and being found by Celestia. "It's something that all foals learn. You just have to go with the flow."

"Go wid da fwow?" Rainbow Dash wondered what that could have meant to her.

"Yes. Go with the flow. Just like you always have been, Rainbow Dash," Luna went on, reminding Rainbow Dash of her true self. "By doing what you think is right, you'll be able to accomplish many things. Soon you'll be back in the air with no effort at all, I assure you."

"Otay, Mama Wuna. I'ww twy." Rainbow Dash said, perking up a little once she'd heard Luna's words of encouragement.

"Very good, Rainbow Dash," Luna said, smiling at the fact that Rainbow Dash was finally catching on with what she'd been saying to her. "I look forward to seeing what you can do in the future..."

She then went off to let Rainbow Dash get back to her playing before going off to get the nearby foal carrier from the door. She picked the carrier up with her magic and put it on her back once more. Whilst she did so, she had noticed that all the foals were all quite curious as to know where they'd be going.

The Mane 6 all took notice of Luna and her foal carrier. They were still playing with their toys and whatever they still had, but they had their eyes focused primarily on Luna's foal carrier.

"Well then, little ones. I believe that now's the time for us to reveal that surprise I mentioned earlier..." Luna said as she addressed all of the Mane 6 with a smile on her face.

"Oh? Wat is it, Mama Wuna?" Fluttershy asked, a look of curiosity showing with Luna's statement wrapped around her ears. She liked surprises, as did the rest of the Mane 6.

"Today, you're going to go..." Luna lit up her horn and began to create something out of thin air. She made special inflatable armbands first, followed by what looked like inflatable rings that could hold the Mane 6, with different animal heads coming out of the front. All of this was followed up by what looked like thin swim diapers with the Mane 6's colours and Cutie Marks all over them. Luna smiled as she cast another spell, this time on herself, so that she was now wearing a swimsuit with her Cutie Mark on the front of it. "Swimming!"

"Swimming?" the foals all asked together. It had been such a long time since they'd even heard of such a concept and were now quite interested to see where Luna was going with this.

"Yes, little ones. Swimming with me, Celestia and two foals from the Shrine," Luna furthered her explanation to the Mane 6, now giving them the option to bring some more foals with them. "Now then, who do you want to bring with you from the Shrine?"

The Mane 6 all huddled together and put all their heads together, as a sign that they were starting to think about who should come with them. They put their hooves around each other, to prove that they were all in this decision together.

"So, who do yoo tink we shouwd bwing wid us?" Twilight began the discussion, wondering who her friends had in mind.

"Hmm... Weww, I do tink dat Shad wouwd wike dis sowta ting..." Rarity said, reminding the other foals of me. They'd grown quite attached to me since my arrival in my own story and were wondering how their fun would possibly be complete without me. "But who ewse shouwd we bwing?"

"How about Fwittew?" Fluttershy asked, remembering how adorable Flitter was as a foal. She thought that she would make the perfect candidate for a swimming session with the Mane 6. "She seems wathew cute..."

"I wasn't pewsonawwy tinking dat, Fwuttewshy..." Applejack said, voicing her own, foalish opinions. "I was mowe awong da wines of dat bwack-haiwed foaw dat hangs out wid Shad aww da time..."

"Oh yeah! Dat foaw!" Pinkie said, remembering Night Mist rather well. Even though she was a foal, she still remembered friends when she'd spent some time with them. "Wat was his name, dough? I can't seem ta wemembew..."

"I tink he cawwed him Nighty, ow someting awong dose wines..." Twilight added on to their little discussion. "Yeah, dat must have been it. Nighty!"

"Oh yeah! He was wathew fun ta pway wid as weww!" Rainbow Dash said, remembering the fun time she'd spent with Night Mist during their trip to the Shrine yesterday. "He pways a good game of Tag, wet me teww yoo..."

The other foals all babbled happily at that idea. They'd seen me and Night Mist as rather playful little foals and were completely on board with the idea of bringing the two of us with them.

"So, Shad and Nighty. Aww in favouw waise youw hoof and say 'Aye'." Twilight said, addressing the group with her final decision.

"Aye!" The foals all said together, smiling and gigging all the way.

"Then it's settwed. Shad and Nighty it is!" Twilight announced, throwing her hooves into the air with glee and excitement. She'd never had so much fun during a discussion, especially one where they were choosing friends to take swimming with them.

"So, who have you decided on, girls?" Luna asked once the foals had finally crawled back to her.

"Shad and Nighty!" They all said together, repeatedly. They said it at least six times before Luna decided to stop them with her hoof.

"So, Shadowmane and Night Mist is it?" Luna smiled as she used her magic to levitate the Mane 6 into the foal carrier so that she could begin her travel to the shrine to pick me and Night Mist up. "Very well then, let's get going, little ones."

The foals all cheered happily once Luna had put them into the carrier and secured them in each of the seats once more. They could see Luna was about to move and eagerly awaited their departure from their room.

Luna levitated all the swimming gear she'd created and teleported it away to where she presumed was the royal pool. Once this task was done, she used her magic as a support to hold up all six of the foals whilst she walked towards the Shrine.





"So, Shad. How awe tings wid yoo and Discowd?" Night Mist asked me when we'd finally had a little bit of a break from our game of Tag. He'd been curious about my state with Discord after he'd stopped the whole 'taking-over-the-author's-notes' thing. "Isn't he supposed ta be contwowwing youw Authow's Notes?"

"Actuawwy, dat is a vewy good question..." I said as I put one of my front hooves to my chin and looked up towards the roof of the Shrine. "I wondew whatevew happened ta him..."





Shadowmane's House


12:31 PM



5 Weeks Ago...

"Discord!" A voice said from the heavens, getting Discord to immediately shudder in fear. He knew that voice anywhere.

"Oh crap! Lauren Faust!" He said, immediately springing up from his current position and hiding inside the drawer underneath my bed. He could see nothing but blue boxes, containing games for the Wii U. "Hmm... Shadowmane seems to be a rather big Bayonetta fan, isn't he?" He said, eyeing up both of the Bayonetta games I had for Wii U. Both the classic Bayonetta, and Bayonetta 2. (Which is so freaking awesome!)

"I mean, seriously. Who said that the Wii U was a kiddie system?" Discord said, going through the other games I had in that drawer. "Stuff like ZombiU and The Wonderful 101. I'm surprised more bronies haven't picked up this console..."

"But seriously, ladies and gentlemen, the Wii U is a rather interesting piece of software." Discord says to you, breaking the 4th wall once more. "If you thought that the fight with Tirek in Season 4 was hardcore, you obviously haven't seen how you defeat Jergingha at the end of The Wonderful 101. Seriously, it's a final attack that would put even Rainbow Power to shame!"

"There you are!" Lauren said, violently pulling the drawer out to its' longest length with her magic and grabbing Discord with it. She took him out and cast a spell on him, crucifying him to the wall, with his head just underneath my Equestria Girls The Parody Series print I received from ZXInsanity at BUCK 2014. "You've got a LOT of explaining to do, Discord!"

"Come now, Lauren. You know explaining's not my type," Discord said as he teleported away from his crucifix and showed up behind Lauren with a whiteboard and projector. "I'd much rather leave that task to a projector, thank you very much."

"Enough games!" Lauren said, casting a spell on Discord, turning him into solid ice. Once this task was done, she opened up a magical inter-dimensional portal and threw Discord through it. "Around 10,000 years in the Northern Equestrian Glaciers ought to CHILL you out!"

"Sorry for interrupting your story, viewer or viewers. I just had to punish Discord for trying to hijack my grandson's fic. I simply saw no fruit growing from the chaotic tree he planted in this story," she says, turning towards you with a sorry face showing. "But, luckily for you, his antics haven't stopped my grandson from bringing you this chapter. So, I hope you enjoy the rest of it."

"Oh, and while you're here. Make sure you check out my grandson's Dazzlings trilogy called The Siren Song. He's spent an awful long time on it, so I hope you can give him all the support and comments you can give him," She opened up a second portal after closing the first one. "Well, that's all for now. I'll let you get back to the story..."





The Shrine


Now


"Nah. I'm suwe he's just swacking on da job, as usuaw..." I said, shrugging off any suspicions I had in the past. "Wet's not focus on it wight now, dough. What we shouwd be focusing on is... Tag! You'we it!"

"Hey! No faiw, Shad! I wasn't weady!" Night Mist says before chasing after me once more. He was determined to make me It once again after he'd been caught off-guard. "I'm gonna get yoo weaw hawd dis time!"

We'd been spending so much time playing Tag with each other, we hadn't even noticed that Celestia and Luna had arrived at the Shrine. They spoke to the caretakers and then waited at the door. It was at this time, we had been levitated up from our current positions and brought up to Glimmer. She looked at the two of us with a smile before telling us why she'd picked us up.

"Shadowmane, Night Mist. Celestia and Luna require your presence." She said, putting us onto her back before walking us over to our two motherly alicorns.

"Wat couwd Mama Wuna want wid us?" I asked Night Mist.

"I hope we'we not in twoubwe..." Night Mist looked a little concerned. He usually ends most of his blog posts by running away from Celestia and the royal guards.

"Wewax, Nighty. You'we not in youw own vewsion of da stowy. You'we in mine now," I said, relaxing him and relieving him of his doubts and concerns. "Dun wowwy, Nighty. Mama Wuna and Mama Cewestia awe actuawwy quite woving in dis vewsion. You'ww see..."

"I hope so..." he replies, still unsure whether or not that was true.

The Mane 6 immediately saw us and smiled.

"Hi, Shad! Hi, Nighty!" they all said to us, waving their foalish hooves in the air as a sign of greeting.

"Hi, giwws!" we both reply to them, smiling as we get placed on Celestia's back, so that we're next to Luna and the Mane 6.

"Alright, you two. Have fun on your little treat today!" Glimmer says, waving us off when Celestia and Luna begin their travel towards the nearby royal pool. "I'll be right here waiting for your return. And I'll even have your favourite toys and pacifiers with me as well!"

"Otay! Bye, Gwimmew!" we both say back to her, before she returns to the Shrine to care for the other foalized authors and background ponies.

"Hehe. Do yoo know wat we'we doing today, Shad?" Pinkie asks me, once we're away from the Shrine's doors and begin to move down another set of doors and windows.

"Umm... Awe we going to a foaw pway awea?" I ask back, clearly oblivious to the fact that I was heading towards the only custom I liked more than gaming; swimming.

"I wish! But no." Pinkie responded, letting out a little chuckle afterwards.

"Ooh! Awe we heading to da Cantewwot Scuwptuwe Gawden?" Night Mist asks Pinkie this time. He too was curious to know where the two of us were going with the Mane 6. "I've awways wondewed how dat maze wooks widout Discowd's insidious spew vexing it..."

"Awmost. It's cwose ta dewe, but not exactwy dewe," Pinkie said, letting Night Mist know that he too was incorrect. "You'we just a teeny-tiny wittwe bit off..."

"Den dat means..." I said, turning to Night Mist.

"We'we going to..." He said, turning towards me.

"Da woyaw poow!" We both said together, letting out little chuckles afterwards. It was rather fun to say the exact same thing together at the exact same time. It made us feel like we were truly brothers in a world full of technicolour ponies.

"Cowwect, yoo two!" Pinkie said, throwing up her hooves, not even noticing the confetti that flew out of them.

"Oh boy! I'm so excited! I WOVE swimming!" I say to him. I was a massive fan of the entire concept of being able to swim. I loved every aspect of swimming, from the clothes I'd wear, right down to the amount of time I could stay under the water for.

"You'we a huge fan of swimming, awen't yoo, Shad?" Night Mist said, immediately noticing my enthusiasm showing as the mere word 'swimming' had been mentioned.

"Yeah! In fact, I can't wait ta see wat da woyaw poow wooks wike..." I'd heard of the royal pool before, but never saw it for myself. I was now looking forward to what the pool looked like.

The two sisters arrived at two different doors. One with yellow and white colours and a more celestial design on the door and another door with dark purple and dark blue colours and a more lunar design on this one.

"Alright, sister. I shall take the Foals of Harmony. You shall take Shadowmane and Night Mist," Luna said as she opened up her door as Celestia opened up hers. "We shall regroup once they've been slipped into their swimming diapers."

"Very well, Luna. Have fun with the two of them..." Celestia said as she went her way with me and Night Mist, so that her sister could care for the Mane 6.

Me and Night Mist were treated to a rather beautiful looking morning design with celestial magic swirling around us. Of course, we did know that it was part of Celestia's magic, but we didn't care about that. We were too distracted with the beautifully animated morning magic that we didn't even speak. We just let out coos of wonder and excitement when we saw all that Celestia had to show us...
> An Aquatic Adventure
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once me and Night Mist made it into the heart of the changing room, we saw what looked like an open field, bathing in the morning light. When we looked closer, we saw that the walls and ceiling had all been animated by Celestia's magic, so it seemed realistic as ever.

Even though it was an illusion, me and Night Mist were awestruck by what we were looking at. The sun's rays actually felt real and so did all the plants we walked over. As the two of us walked over the illusion, we couldn't help but smile all the way.

We made it over to a changing table with a giant flower design, so that we were the ones growing from the plant's photosynthesis. When we arrived at this flower, Celestia levitated the two of us up on top of it and laid us down. Once again, we couldn't help but smile and giggle. We'd always loved the feeling of being levitated up by Celestia's magic.

"Alright, little ones. Settle down now..." Celestia says in her usual motherly tone as she quickly uses a hoof of hers to shush us. She could still see our smiles and cracked one of her own as she began casting her magic on our diapers. "I know that you're eager to go swimming with the Foals of Harmony, but you both need a special swim diaper first."

We both giggled as we felt the diapers loosening around us. A sense of nudity quickly enveloped us once the diapers came off of our flanks. Every time our bare tushies were shown, we always looked up at Celestia with happy smiles on our faces. It made us happy to know that she would always be here for us during our moments of weakness.

Once our flanks were bare again, Celestia and Luna levitated two swim diapers underneath our flanks and secured them. Because we were going to be in the water for the whole of our session, there was no need for us to have foal powder applied to them. We could feel that these diapers were thinner than our regular ones and we were excited to swim in them. Without the extra weight, we'd be able to swim as freely as can be.

"Hehe, dese awe weawwy comfy!" I said, admiring how comfortably thin the swim diaper around my flank was. "Wat do yoo tink, Nighty?"

"Dese awe pwetty nice..." he said, feeling his comfortably thin swim diaper with his hoof. He could feel that it was much thinner and much more comfortable than a regular diaper.

"Well, it's good to hear that you like them, little ones..." Celestia said as she used her magic to transform her royal clothes into a thin swimming costume. They were rather smooth and had her Cutie Mark in the middle of it. She looked rather elegant in it as she showed it off for the two of us to behold.

"Hehe, yoo wook gweat, Mama Cewestia!" I said, complimenting her choice for swimming clothes. She did look rather nice in her swimming gear, at least from my perspective.

"Thank you, Shadowmane," she said, nuzzling me once she levitated me up to her face. She loved it whenever I complimented her stuff, as it gave her a sense of acceptance. "You've got a good sense of swimming fashion as well, you know..."

"Aww... Tank yoo, Mama." I said back to her with a smile on my face.

"Now then, little ones..." Celestia said as she lit up her horn. Her magic resonated with the rest of the room, causing a large portion of one of the walls to slide upwards, revealing another path. Just like before, it was all an illusion to look like a wonderfully sunny day. "Let's take a walk towards the pool together..."

Me and Night Mist loved seeing more of the magnificently sunny illusion as we walked towards the pool. As we made our way, we bathed in the warming rays of illusionary sunlight, smiling happily as we did. Our bliss seemed undeniable at this point in time as we finally walked into a massive shine of light to see what lied beyond...

"Whoa..." we both said as we saw what the royal pool looked like...





Meanwhile, Luna was taking the Mane 6 through her own little illusion tunnel. Whereas the first one was all sunny and set on an illusion of a sunny hill, this was set in the cosmos with projections of stars and comets lighting the way.

The Mane 6 were all awestruck at what they were seeing. They could see all the wonders of space and cooed peacefully at each of them. They could see all the comets shooting past them and smiled as they looked at the magical trails each one of them left behind. Some of them even tried to touch the projections with their bare hooves, but let out little chuckles as the projections went straight through them.

"Hehe, dese staws awe weawwy pwetty, Mama Wuna!" Twilight said as she tried to touch one of the comet streams with her hoof. She was too wrapped up in her star-catching game to look at Luna, but her happy tone of voice would hopefully tell Luna that she did a great job with her illusion.

"Good to know that you love them, Twilight..." Luna said, smiling in the fact that Twilight loved her little tricks. She barely took any of her time to look back at the Mane 6, but when she did, saw saw that they were happily playing with whatever stars and planets they could see.

Once the girls made it into the center of the room, they saw what looked like floating asteroids in the center of the room. All the asteroids were the six colours of the Mane 6's manes, which meant Luna could easily match each of the foals to their designated asteroid.

Each of the Mane 6 was levitated off out of the foal carrier and put down on each of the six coloured asteroids. They let off some more giggles as they flew through the air and eventually landed on the asteroid they'd been assigned. To their surprise, the asteroids were rather soft and plushy. The six foals babbled lightly as they felt the soft textures of the asteroid under them. Once they were acquainted with it, Luna laid them down on each asteroid so that they were looking up at even more stars and galaxies above them.

The Mane 6 let out even more soft coos as Luna removed the foal carrier and lit up her horn again. Once Luna's magic activated, the Mane 6 could feel their diapers loosening before coming right off of their bare flanks. Once the diapers came off, the Mane 6 all immediately blushed. They were still rather embarrassed about being diaper-less during a change and they tried to cover up their shame with their bare hooves, getting Luna to crack another smile.

"Aww... Are my little Foals of Harmony still embarrassed?" Luna said, in a rather calming tone of voice. Despite seeing their blushing faces, Luna was still going to be there for the six of them, no matter how grave the consequence might be.

"Yes, Mama Wuna..." Fluttershy said, looking a little teary when she looked down at her naked self once again. She'd never been swimming during her previous life, nor the foalish life she was now leading. It only seemed natural for her to be shy about this sort of thing and rather concerned for what would happen.

"Don't worry about your shame, little ones..." Luna said as she brought back the swim diapers for each of the Mane 6. "Just let your Mama Luna make everything better..."

Luna slowly let the Mane 6 return to a more peaceful state of mind once she began sliding the swim diapers underneath their flanks. Her actions made the Mane 6 coo lightly once again, telling her that the Mane 6's worries were a thing of the past now. She didn't have to apply foal powder for swim diapers since they were rather thin as they were. On top of all that, she knew that the Mane 6 would be going into the water to swim, so the issue of a wet diaper was out of the question.

As for the Mane 6, their states of worry and embarrassment quickly melted away when Luna began to change them. Every light crinkle of the swimming diapers rang in their ears, effectively calming them down and readying them for their wonderful watery adventures ahead. Whilst they were being changed, they could see the wonders of the cosmos swirling around above their heads. Every star and every galaxy they could see was within touching distance. With this in their minds, they subconsciously reached up to try and touch them. This action bore no fruit, but made them happy and calm in the process.

Once the Mane 6 were all diapered up once more, they looked at each other with smiles on their faces. They could see now that with Luna, everything was going to be absolutely perfect for them. Their worries and sadness were things of the past as their beaming smiles warmed each others' hearts.

"There we are, little ones. Does that feel wonderful?" Luna asked, seeing the smiles on the Mane 6 almost instantly.

"Yes, Mama Wuna. It feews wondewfuw..." Rainbow Dash said, stroking her rather soft swim diaper.

"And comfy..." Applejack added in.

"And has pictuwes on dem..." Rarity said, looking at the Cutie Marks on each of the diapers with a cute little smile on her face once again.

"And cute..." Fluttershy said, feeling her soft swim diaper with pink edges and a butter-yellow front.

"And tickwes me!" Pinkie said out of nowhere, chuckling as she rubbed the different parts of her pink swim diaper.

"And was made by a wondewfuwwy woving Mama..." Twilight said, reaching for Luna in an attempt to get picked up by Luna's magic. She smiled once again as she and the other foals were picked up with the dark-blue aura. "I guess what we'we twying ta say is..."

"Tank yoo, Mama Wuna. We wove dem as much as we aww wove yoo!" they all said together, showering Luna with their happy smiles and loving kisses. They'd been helped out through a rather embarrassing situation and were now expressing their gratitude towards Luna as freely as possible.

"You're very welcome, little ones..." Luna said as she levitated the six happy foals onto her back. When this was done, she quickly cast another spell on herself, creating a black swimming costume with her Cutie Mark in the center of it all. "Now, let us make haste to our aquatic adventure!"

Luna cast yet another spell, raising one of the walls of the cosmic room away, revealing another path of stars and galaxies for her the Mane 6 to travel down. The motherly Alicorn made her way down this cosmic corridor with the Mane 6 happily riding her back. Once they made it to the end of the corridor, they could faintly make out the royal pool on the other side...





The pool was far beyond anything we could have ever fathomed of imagining, with a mixture of both morning and night covering the place. The side of the pool lit up by daytime seemed like a fairly average pool, but the side on the night side was all illuminated, both under the water and above it.

The first ones to make it to this wonder of a royal pool were me, Night Mist and Celestia. We'd come out of a room with a rather celestial arch with a single flower blooming at the top of it. As for Luna and the Mane 6, they'd arrived through what looked like a black hole door with a galaxy-style archway.

We all returned to each other at some nice steps leading into the pool. The steps were rather even, perfect for Celestia and Luna to nimbly step down into. As for the design of the pool itself, it had been customized to both Celestia and Luna's liking. The steps led into a moon-shaped portion of the pool, with what looked like a giant sun-shaped portion just beyond that.

"So, wat do yoo tink of your quick change, Twiwight?" I asked, presuming that the Mane 6 had gone through the stars of outer space whilst they were with Luna.

"Oh, Shad, it was wondewfuw!" Twilight smiled as she threw her hooves up into the air with an expression of pure glee on her face. "We wewe abwe ta pway wid pwetty staws whiwst Mama Wuna changed us!"

"Not onwy dat, but dey feel comfy..." Applejack said, adding on her experience to help me better understand how much they enjoyed it in there.

"And wook cute..." Fluttershy decided to add on as well, smiling as she looked at me and Night Mist.

"Dey give us dignity..." Rainbow Dash spoke as well, making it seem like all six of the Mane 6 were listing their personal favourite tings about a swim diaper.

"Tickwe us..." Pinkie added on, making me now crack a little bit of a smile of my own. I'd known from my own personal experience with Night Mist that a swim diaper is actually rather ticklish when touched in certain areas.

"Have pwetty pictuwes on dem..." Rarity said, showing off the Cutie Marks on each of the diapers. She looked at my swim diaper with a smile of her own. Since my talent was related to a game known as Kingdom Hearts, my Cutie Mark was the famous Kingdom Key itself. To think, a foal with a Cutie Mark that resembled the very key-shaped sword that slayed armies of Heartless, Nobodies, Dream Eaters, and many more undesirable things...

"And wewe made by a wondewfuw Mama who cawes fow aww of us..." Twilight said as the six of them looked up at Luna once more, smiling as they did. They all really cared for Luna now, and I could see that just by looking at them. "So yeah, we aww woved it."

"Weww, dat's good ta heaw," Night Mist said, in time with Celestia and Luna's descent into the royal pool with the three of us. He and I were unaware that we were about to end up in the water, but the Mane 6 looked at us with grins of their own. "My Mama nevew took me swimming befowe. She awways tucked me in and sang wuwwabyes ta me. Not once did I evew have such an expewience wike dis..."

"Uhh... Nighty?" I asked him, lightly nibbling on his tail to try and grab his attention. I had just now see that the water was up to Celestia and Luna's kneecaps and was rising as they descended.

"In fact, my Mama awways had da woyaw guawds chasing aftew me whenevew I did someting she found naughty..." he said, completely ignoring me as he continued to list fragments of his other foal life with Lauren Faust herself.

"Nighty? Awe yoo even wistening ta me?" I tried desperately to tell him as the water just now consumed Celestia and Luna's stomachs and was ready to slash the eight of us.

"I just kept wunning, wunning wike da happy wittwe foaw I was. Not once did I evew get de chance ta-" his words were quickly stopped the second the water touched him. It was a little cold, but he found it to be too cold. He jumped at this little change in temperature and fell off Celestia's back, into the pool itself. "Brrrr! Dis watew's fweezing!"

"Hehe, dun weave it aww fow youwsewf, Nighty!" I said, leaping off of Celestia's back to swim with him. I was rather unfazed by the cold water. I'd done swimming in cold water quite a few times, so naturally, I enjoyed swimming in this cool temperature.

Despite being a foal, I could swim rather well for my size and stature. I used my hooves to move myself underneath Night Mist. Whilst I did this, I could see that his lower legs were thrashing about in the cool water. A devious little smile grew on my face as I rose up behind him.

Night Mist was still a foal, but even he could feel the temperatures of the pool were too cold for him. He tried desperately to tread water so that he could heat himself up. When this didn't work, he was suddenly ambushed by a wave of pool water from behind him.

"W-Wha?" he wondered who had splashed him when he brushed parts of his now wet mane out of his face. He turned around to see who had brought that wave of pool water down on top of him. "S-Shad? Yoo did dis?"

"Ah, come on, Nighty! It's not dat cowd now, is it?" I said, trying to help him get over that little cold moment he'd felt earlier. I knew that the only way to help Night Mist out of his predicament was to ease him into the cold water, so that he knew how cold it would be. It always worked on me when I was a human back in the real world.

"Weww... Since yoo put it wike dat..." he said, unfurling his wings for a little counterattack. He'd been made wet by me, so it was only fair that he returned the favour. How he did it though was a rather big surprise. He used his wings to shoot an even bigger wave at me. It came crashing down on me shortly afterwards, getting me to jump and hold my hooves out in surprise.

"Wat da heck, Nighty?!" I asked, shocked that my brother would actually do that to me. My parts felt numb for a few moments but they quickly returned to normal afterwards.

"Considew dat youw twue Ice Bucket Chawwenge!" he giggled as he watched me shake like a crazy man in a straightjacket. He knew that my ALS Ice Bucket Challenge didn't have me flinching as much as I used to, so he wanted to make me seem like it actually was cold.

"Otay, it's on now!" I said before diving underneath the water, ready to play a little game with him. I swam to his now calm legs and gently touched them before swimming over to the Mane 6. Once I resurfaced and made it over to Luna, who was still carrying the six foals at this moment in time, I said "Tag! You'we it!" before swimming over to another part of the pool.

"Hey! Get back hewe!" Night Mist chuckled as he decided to give chase to me. We may have been foals, but we were very good swimmers. It was as if we could swim perfectly like we used to, despite the fact that we were now infantile equines. Whilst he chased after me, we both made a mental note that we needed to ask Discord about his Youth-Oria spheres when we got the time.

Celestia and Luna slipped special inflatable armbands onto the arms of the Mane 6. Once they were on securely, they gave each of the foals kisses before levitating them into the water themselves. Whilst they were free to use all of the pool, they still needed to be accompanied by Celestia and Luna, in the unlikely case that anything went wrong and they needed help.

After the eight of us were all in the pool together, me and Night Mist extended our game of Water Tag to the Mane 6 themselves. After Night Mist had tagged me, I went for Pinkie Pie, who let out the cutest giggle I'd ever heard once she'd been given the role of 'It'.

Eventually, we were all playing together. The eight of us were swimming rather steadily, so as not to overdo ourselves. Me and Night Mist were able to swim underwater, due to some side-effects of the Youth-Oria spheres that we'd never even discovered until now. While this did make it harder for the Mane 6 to keep up with us, we made sure that we were always there for them.

When we both looked at each other, we got a very good idea in our heads. We both looked at the Mane 6 after whispering the plan to each other before diving under the water one more time. Once we did, I lit up my horn and cast a spell that would change everything...
> 20,000 Foals Under The Sea
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once the spell had been cast, I found myself floating in a bubble. It was rather hard for me to keep my balance, but I managed to balance myself relatively quickly. Once I was done, I let out a few giggles, which had been muffled to Night Mist for unknown reasons.

As he swam back up, I simply floated up to the surface with my head held high, letting out giggles nonstop. When the both of us returned to the Mane 6, Celestia and Luna, my bubble popped and we were back to swimming once again.

"How did yoo do dat?" he asks me, once I finally begin to return to my swimming posture. He shows a great deal of both intrigue and worry. The intrigue comes from the fact that he just saw a foal encase himself in a bubble after casting a spell on itself. The worry came from the fact that I was capable of using magic in my current state.

"Hehe, aww unicown foaws can do dat, Nighty," I said, telling him in brief how I was able to pull such a trick like that off. "I dun know why, but I tink dewe's something wid unicown foaws dat Mama Wuna and Mama Cewestia isn't bothewing ta teww me..."

"Why do yoo tink dat is, Shad?" he asks me, curious to know what I meant by my previous statement. He's obviously oblivious to the fact I could do so much more now that I'd rediscovered magic. He was unaware that I had the potential to become unstoppable with training.

"I dun weawwy know, ta be honest..." I say. Clearly, I was unaware with how powerful we unicorns could become. Sure, Pumpkin Cake might be one special foal, but I was willing to bet against that and say that all foals were like that. With that running through my mind, I lit up my horn once more, but was stopped when I was suddenly hit with a splash of water that came from one of the other foals.

"Come on, Shad! Yoo need ta stop tinking about dose tings and pway wid us instead!" Rainbow Dash giggled, getting me with another splash of water. Sure, she was wearing special inflatable armbands, but Rainbow Dash still knew how to splash me. She let out another giggle when she saw me shaking some of the water out of my mane.

"Oh, you'we on, Dashie!" I said back, giving her another splash of my own. It was a rather moderate wave that got pretty much all of Rainbow Dash's face and mane. I launched another small wave at her as I swam away from her. I could see that she immediately gave chase, so I decided to provoke her some more. "Catch me if yoo can!"

The next few moments I spent was with Rainbow Dash and the Mane 6. We were swimming around the pool, splashing each other with big smiles on our faces. It seemed like our foalish fun had no end in sight.

Eventually, Night Mist decided get in on the fun as well. He swam after us with a little giggle coming out of his throat as he pursued the rest of the foals in the pool. He'd finally decided to give up trying to complicate his mind with thought. Since he was now a foal, he decided that his new self should be a fun one, rather than an analyctical one.

The eight of us found pleasure on our little games. We swam majestically, giggled when we splashed each other, and even tried to see who could hold their breath underwater for the longest. Needless to say, I won repeatedly at the last game. Magic is such a wonderful thing, isn't it?

"Hehe, you'we good at dis game, Dashie!" I said, complimenting her skill after she'd tagged me once more. Despite the extra armbands keeping her afloat, Rainbow Dash was a surprisingly good swimmer, even for a foal.

"Tanks, Shad!" she said back, letting out a little smile as she nimbly evaded another tag from one of the other foals.

Eventually, we all swam into each other without noticing and ended up under the water. We were only under for a brief period of time (even briefer for the Mane 6 because of their armbands) but we actually enjoyed such a feeling like that. Eventually, we resurfaced, giggling like schoolgirls.

"Are we having fun, little ones?" Luna swam up to the eight of us, seeing our little giggling fits reach her eyes and ears.

"Oh, Mama Wuna, we'we having wots of fun!" Pinkie said, beaming with joy at this moment in time. She'd truly seen fun in her past as a full-grown mare, but now that she was a foal, she found anything that excited her to be the best thing she'd ever done. 

"Hehe, de watew's fun ta pway in!" I said, with more energy than I meant to. I did enjoy water, but not that much when I was still human. It seemed like my foalish instincts were starting to overtake my human mind at this moment in time.

"Is it now, Shadowmane?" Celestia asked, giving a little bit of an interested look as she smiled at the eight of us. She lit up a horn and readied a powerful spell for the eight of us to behold. "Well then, let's have a little adventure in this water!"

Within seconds, all ten of us were taken under the water with a powerful spell. The Mane 6 quickly lost their armbands and only had their hooves to rely on as we were descending into the water. It felt like we were going to drown, but then we got bubbles put around all of our muzzles. To be more descriptive, they completely covered our mouths and allowed us to breathe as we descended deeper and deeper into what no longer seemed like the royal pool, and more like the ocean itself...

"Hehe, dis is fun!" Rarity giggled as the ten of us descended deeper and deeper into the water, the colour getting darker and darker as we dropped down deeper and deeper into the water.

"Whewe awe we even going?" Fluttershy asked as we neared the bottom of the newfound ocean we were falling down through. Even though our muzzles were covered by bubbles, we were still able to get our voices across to each other, albeit them sounding a bit garbled.

"I dun know, Fwuttewshy, but I tink we'we gonna have wots of fun when we awwive!" I said, as the ten of us neared the ocean floor. I looked as I could still see the surface of the ocean, but it seemed like it was now at least a mile away from the original position.

Before we could all arrive at the ocean's floor, we saw a massive flash of light appear as we descended. As we all turned to face the light, we were consumed in its' bright glow...





Once the light had finished, we appeared at what looked like a beautiful coral reef. There were sea plants draping the sea cliffs for as far as our foalish eyes could see. There were also a large number of schools of fish swarming the seas. All with beautiful colours and intricate designs.

As we finally finished looking around, we saw that we were now floating in the water with nothing more than our diapered bodies. We tried swimming upwards, downwards, forwards, and all the other ways so that we were adjusted to swimming underwater completely. Once this was all done, we let out little giggles of accomplishment.

"But sewiouswy, whewe awe we?" I said, turning to Night Mist once we were all confident in swimming on our own.

"It wooks wike Cewestia and Wuna took us to da bottom of da sea..." Night Mist said, examining the wonderful world around the eight of us. "Dat's a pwetty odd ting fow dem ta do ta us..."

"Who cawes, Nighty? Dis is fun!" Rainbow Dash nimbly performed a roll maneuver, her bubble continuing to follow her muzzle for all the time she did so. Since her face wasn't drenched in water, Rainbow Dash didn't feel any water go up her nose as she rolled.

"She's wight, Nighty..." Fluttershy said, petting many of the sea animals with her tender hooves. Even though most undersea animals were timid and didn't like being touched by other life forms, they were rather friendly towards Fluttershy and the other foals of the Mane 6.

"Weww, I'm swimming undew da sea wid seven odew tawking foaws in my own fanfic dat Discowd is wwiting," I said, in a rather obvious tone of voice. "If dat's not weiwd, den I dun know wat is..."

The eight of us began flipping our hooves to get some momentum in our movements. We got some slight distance from our initial position, and immediately swam down farther and farther to the bottom of the ocean. We saw as the water did turn darker and darker the further we went, but we were too wrapped up in foal talk and adventure to even be bothered by this.

When we eventually landed at the sea floor, we felt the soft sand touching our hooves as we walked across it. It was a rather wonderful feeling, walking at the bottom of a deep ocean, knowing that you were able to breath perfectly like anything that inhabited these waters. It made us all smile and let out looks and noises of awe as we saw the rest of the ocean world around us.

"I'm bowed. Wet's pway hide-and-seek!" Rainbow Dash said, immediately getting the group of foals together after a few minutes of sea-walking. 

"Dat sounds wathew intewesing, Dashie..." I said, seeing that this ocean was vast enough to make the game as interesting as it could possibly be. If the foals decided to use the whole ocean, then this would be the most intense game of hide-and-seek ever...

"Otay den, I'ww stawt counting. Yoo girws aww go and hide." Rainbow Dash immediately covered up her eyes with her hooves and began to count downwards. "One... Two... Thwee..."

Even though her voice was garbled thanks to the bubble on her muzzle, we could still hear Rainbow Dash's voice quite clearly, or at least, parts of it. As she neared ten, we all started taking positions hiding in seaweed bushes and behind walls of coral. The rest of the Mane 6 hid quite quickly, leaving only me and Night Mist without spots to hide.

Eventually, we found a nice little cave just above Rainbow Dash. We swam right past her and positioned ourselves in the cave, making sure that there wasn't any animals inside the cave that would be rather displeased with our trespasses. When the cave was secure, we made cute little grunts as we tried to shuffle into the darker parts of the cave.

"Eight... Nine... Ten!" Rainbow Dash lowered her hooves and saw that all of her friends had gone into hiding once again. "Weady ow not, hewe I come!"

Despite being a foal, Rainbow Dash still moved at a rather regular pace under the water. She even tried using her wings to propel herself, but they were too small to do anything at this point in time. With her wings no longer an option, Rainbow Dash resorted to just using her hooves to move herself.

"Awe yoo suwe dat Dashie won't find us hewe, Shad?" Night Mist asked me as we kept fidgeting in the cave. Even though we were good friends now, he and I were still struggling to find a comfortable position whilst we were squished together in our little cave.

"I'm cewtain, Nighty..." I whispered, making sure not to alert Rainbow Dash to our hiding spot and ruin the game for her. "And besides, now we have a chance ta catch up on ouw wittwe discussions..."

"Wat do yoo mean by dat?" he asked me, unsure what I was possibly talking about. Even though we were like little brothers, we still didn't know everything about each other.

"Weww, I was tinking about youw status on FIMFiction..." I said, whispering even quieter so that Discord wouldn't have heard us. "Yoo haven't updated any of youw stowies in ages..."

"Sowwy about dat. I've got a wot of tings on my mind wight now..." he apologized, showing puppy-dog eyes to me. He was rather inactive in terms of updating his fics, so he wanted to make sure that I was at ease with what he was going through now.

"Wike wat?" I asked.

"Stuff wike da navy. Yoo know, da bowing waw tings..." he said, telling me that he was part of a military in his human life. This part was a part I already knew, since he'd told me in advance.

"Otay, dat pawt I awweady know..." I deadpanned, feeling rather unamused that he'd hidden the reason by telling me something that I already knew. "Wat ewse keeps eating up aww of youw time so dat yoo just keep doing Bwog Posts?"

"Stuff wid my weguwaw famiwy. Yoo know, tings dat wequiwe my attention..." he said, trying to make me feel at ease with myself once again.

"Aww... Dat's sad, Nighty..." I said, feeling rather sorry for such a talented writer such as Night Mist. I never knew that he had such important matters to attend to with back in his regular life. "But if I couwd make a few wequests, I'd wike ta see yoo continue wid Sistews of Magic, and My Wittwe Foaws: Fwiendship is Padded..."

"Hopefuwwy, I'ww update one of dose stowies when I'm onwine da next time," he said, keeping up his normal mindset whilst also shuffling around in the cave once more. "Just keep a cwose eye on dem. Hopefuwwy, by de end of da week, I'ww update one of dose stowies fow yoo..."

"Otay, Nighty. I'ww be suwe ta keep yoo on twack..." I said, no longer trying to take any chances. I'd wanted to see those two stories of his update sometime in the future. He'd pretty much left them to collect dust, what with all the foalish adventures we had among our many stories, author's notes, and Blog Posts.

"Hehe, found yoo!" Rainbow Dash said, pulling the two of us out of the cave with her diminutive foal hooves. When she pulled us out, we pretty much tumbled out of the cave, much to her delight.

"Aww... Did we tawk too woud again?" I said, rather depressed that Rainbow Dash had caught us due to the fact that we'd been talking too much in a cave.

"Aww. Dat's otay, Shad," Rainbow Dash said, patting my shoulders in sympathy for me being caught out due to something I needed to get off of my chest. "Yoo and Nighty can hewp me find de odew foaws. If yoo want to dough..."

"Suwe. I'd wike dat, Dashie..." I said, smiling once more as I followed Rainbow Dash around the little area where we were all playing our game. "Come on, Nighty. Wet's go!"

"Hehe, otay, Shad..." he smiled as the three of us began our search for the rest of the Mane 6. Little smiles and giggles came from each of us as we examined every possible area we could find, in the hopes that Twilight and her friends would be easy to find in this aquatic world...
