//------------------------------// // Chapter 5- The Aftermath // Story: The Enchanted Necklaces // by TwilieTheFoal //------------------------------// There was a sudden flash, and after a while, Rainbow's two foalified friends were now adults, just like before. No diapers, no nothing. They came to a landing on the floor. The white light ceased and let everyone else in the room see them, the lavender necklaces laid on the floor beside them. "Woah, what in the hay?" Applejack asked, opening her eyes. What she saw shocked her, and Rarity was shocked too. "Rarity?!" "Applejack?!" "You're an adult?!" They asked in unison. They even rubbed their eyes to see if they were dreaming, but they weren't. "We're mares again, Applejack, mares!" Rarity yelled, she even jumped up and down. "Woah, calm yourself Rarity." "S-sorry darling. I'm just soooo happy to be a mare again! Aren't you?" "O-of course I am. Although, it feels weird not wearing a diaper. Guess I got used to them. But, I never liked the feeling." "Me neither darling." "Okay, okay. You're adults now, that's great. But, what about those foal supplies? Are we just going to let them sit here or-" Starlight got interrupted by Rarity. "Of course not darling! We simply must get them into the guest bedroom's closet and clean up." "Good. Spike, wanna help?" Starlight asked. "Nope. I'm gonna read my comics." Spike replied. "Boys." "I HEARD THAT!" Spike yelled as he made his way to his room. "Anyways. We didn't leave much of a mess. Just gotta return the highchairs to Mrs. Cake. I'll be back!" Rainbow said as she zipped out the door with the highchairs. "And, we could just use magic." Starlight offered as she got her horn glowing. She then cast a spell and everything was in tip-top shape like before. And even the foal supplies were gone. "Good. So, now that the mess is taken care of, we're gonna unpack. And then dinner." Twilight said. She and Starlight grabbed their huge suitcases and walked up the stairs and to their bedrooms. "Oh. Thank you Twilight, but i'm full from breakfast, lunch, and our little treat." Rarity said, blushing. "Oh. Well how about you Aj? Rainbow?" "Uh, thanks but, I don't think my family will be happy to find out i've been gone for so long." Rainbow zipped back in to answer Twi's question. "Sure! What's on the menu?" "Carrot dogs with fries." Twilight answered. "Awesome! When do you want me to swing by?" Rainbow asked. "Oh. I'll be making them shortly with Starlight. You wanna help?" "Sure. Go unpack and i'll see you guys in the kitchen." Rainbow ran to the kitchen in a matter of seconds. While Starlight and Twilight were going up to their rooms to unpack. Rainbow waited patiently in the kitchen for hours, but finally, Twilight and Starlight showed up. "Hey. What took you guys so long?" Rainbow asked. Twilight just rolled her eyes and asked "do you know how much stuff was in our suitcases?" "No." "Well then, you shouldn't be talking like that." "Sorry, Twi. I'm just hungry. Even though I had a hayburger and horseshoe fries for lunch. WITH a strawberry milkshake." "It's ok. We're a bit hungry too." Starlight broke the ice and said "ok! Let's get started on making those delicious carrot dogs!" "Sure! We gotta cookbook Twi?" "Yep. I'll go get it out." Twilight said, searching the pantry for it. "AHA!" Twilight shouted, levitating the cookbook over to the table. "Oh. Good. Now, let's get started!" Rainbow Dash yelled, quickly scanning the ingredients. She quickly grabbed those ingredients and placed them all over the table. On the table laid buns, carrots and the different toppings to put on top. Starlight filled a pot with hot water, she placed the pot on the stove, letting it boil. "Alright. Let's start putting the carrots in." Dash suggested. "No, Rainbow. The cookbook says that we have to boil the water for 1 minute first!" "Hasn't it been more than 1 minute?" "No! I just-" "Starlight. The water is boiling. I think it's ok to place the carrots in!" Twilight interrupted. "Ugh. Fine. Go put the carrots in the boiling hot water." Starlight said with a hint of anger, but she got over it quickly. 6 Minutes later "Alright! Time to put them in a bun." Twilight levitated the three buns over and carefully took the boiled carrots out of the pot and into the buns. The carrot dogs were placed on 3 white plates. Starlight levitated them, and took to the table. Of course, Twilight turned off the stove and dumped the hot liquid in the sink. She also placed the pot in the sink and made her way to the dining room to eat. "SPIKE!"' Twilight called "CARROT DOGS!" Spike rushed downstairs to the dining room ready to eat his delicious meal. Once he sat down, Spike instantly took the ketchup, mustard, relish, and hot sauce and squirted it on his carrot dog. Starlight just giggled as Spike made a mess of himself while he ate his dinner. "Aww, maybe Spikey-Wikey should wear a bib too. I mean, look at how much ketchup and hot sauce he got all over his cute wittle face. Wouldn't you agree Twilight?" Rainbow cooed, making Spike blush in anger. "HEY! I'm NOT a baby! I don't need bibs." "Are you sure about that?" Starlight asked. "Yeah Spike, are you sure?" Twilight asked, repeating Starlight. "YES! I'm sure!" He answered angrily. Then the mares in the room started laughing. "Ok, Spikey-Wikey." Starlight laughed. She laughed so hard that she almost fell out of her chair. "Ok, Starlight. I get it was funny, but not THAT funny." Twilight said as she squirted some ketchup on her carrot dog. Starlight blushed "sorry." "Apology accepted." Spike said. "Hey, if I were you i'd be laughing too." "Thank you Spike." Starlight thanked, before placing mustard, relish, and hot sauce. Rainbow Dash's dog had everything on it. You know, the works! All the mares started eating while Spike finished up. "I'm gonna go upstairs and read my comic books some more." Spike ran up the stairs to his bedroom. Once Rainbow finished up her meal she said "thank you Twilight for this delicious carrot dog, but I gotta go now. I hope Tank's ok." "You're welcome. And, it's alright, I know you really love Tank. Bye!" Twilight waved as Rainbow flew out of the castle and into the night sky. "Uh, Twilight. Are we gonna clean this up or...?" "No. I say we take a break and play a board game!" Twilight suggested. "That sounds promising." Starlight said, intrigued. "Great, let's go!" Twilight and Starlight walked to the library where all of Twilight's favorite books and board games rested.
