//------------------------------// // Chapter eight: The year of the Fluttershy // Story: Dr Whooves Baby New Year // by Foal Star //------------------------------// Fluttershy push the last of the snow off her walk as she look at the steadily setting sun. she smiled at her little colt playing in  the small snow pile next on her. “Aww Thunderlane you are just so cute,” she cooed, the colt blushing again as he tossed snow into the air.  The shy pegasus leaned down giving him a nuzzle before scooping him out. “You ready for new year?” The colt nodded happy as he snuggle with him. The mare headed inside seeing Discord pouring fresh hot chocolate into their usual tea cups. Fluttershy kept grinning watching the marshmallows dueling on the plate set upon the table. “Oh thank you Discord,” “Still hard to believe it been a year already. My does time fly. Especially that one Whooves who was a pegasus. “ The lord of chaos plopped onto the sofa with a huff. “Oh but it’s been a wonderful year.” Fluttershy cuddled her colt watching Discord play with a spoon. “Is something wrong Discord?” “What why would something be wrong, I'm perfectly fine,” As he was trying to hide it from her perspective friend. “You just seem bothered is all, are you sure.” “Pfff yes I'm fine,” his nose grew longer for a second before he pushed it back into place. “I’m going to go see if there anything to get in town. I’ll just out for bit.” with that, he stood up snapping his claw and vanishing in a flash. Derpy wheeled Whooves along humming as she stared at the vibrant orange sky only a few clouds left to hang in the horizon. “Hehe to think you’ll be big and strong come morning Whoovsie.” “Yeah i know but it been fun Derpy. You’re a great mama.” “Aww, thanks,” She stopped suddenly when Discord appeared in front of her making the pegasus jump a bit. “Eeep, gah Discord don’t do that.” Discord pouted crossing his hands. “I can’t help it. Tomorrow Dr. Whooves will be back to normal. And just as I was starting to have so much fun.” Derpy smiled coming up to the draconequus and giving him a hug., “oh Dissy, I’m sorry but he has to become an adult. I mean we are getting married.” Discord  shrugged “yeah I understand I guess but I was having so much fun.” He then spotted a plump brown earth pony mare with a white mane the back tied into a bun. Adorning her flank was a cuckoo clock with a little bird sticking out. “Wait who’s that?” The mare having seen them strolled up to the group beaming at little Dr. Whooves and cooed, “hello my little Whoovesy you ready to be out of diapers tomorrow?” “Whooves blushed hugging the ursa minor plush. “Yeah, not that it hasn’t been nice.” The mare can’t help but chuckle . “oh they all say that, I think you are the cutest one yet. Her hoof ruffled his mane getting the colt to squeak and laugh a tad too” Discord raised a claw “ i have an idea on who should e baby new year for this year.” The mare raised an eyebrow. “Oh really and who would that be?” “My dear friend Fluttershy of course, i know she isn’t a turner but maybe make an exception?” The mare tapped her chin. “Well if she agrees it , i guess I could make an exception this one time.” Discord rubbed his claws “Great i’ll be right back.” -------- Fluttershy eeped startled by Discord appearing on top the table . “Oh um feeling better?” “Why yes indeed  my dear, but I have to ask you a tiny question.” “Oh what’s that?” “Would you care to be the new year fola?” The pegasus blinked. “What, but what about Thunderlane and other tasks i have to do. Discord turned “but Fluttershy we always talked about how you want to be a foal.” She sighed hugging her Thunderlane “bu..but I have my animals to care for I can’t leave them for a year.” Discord smirked, “oh I can care for them i have been helping you ever since  I was reformed.” Fluttershy eyed him for a moment contemplating.  “you remember everything including how to feed the bunnies, care for the chickens, watch the bears, and make sure the woodland critters like squirrels are cared for, and have them all wake up after their hibernation.” Discord blinked “uh...I'm sure my magic can help…” “You’re not suppose to use magic during winter wrap up.” “Well, it not like you can’t help.” “I’m just not sure Discord, i mean what if well there all kinds of things that could go wrong.” Discord palm dragged across his muzzle and sighed, “you know what? I have a better idea” he flicked a claw  at Angel Bunny who body glowed for a second before turning into a pure white stallion with a carrot cutie mark. “ Angel was quite surprised .hey! What gives!” The used to be bunny spun in circles looking himself over. He squealed putting his new hooves over his mouth. Discord blushed, ”sorry but I think you know everything about caring for animals.” He shrugged, ”I guess so? I do follow Fluttershy around everywhere. Without me she probably forget a lot of the time. but this is weird .can I be a bunny again?” Discord smirked “nope, you’ll be helping the animals all over Ponyville while I care for Fluttershy when she’s a foal.” Fluttershy squeaked. ”hey i’m not sure I want to be a foal…” “Why wouldn't you want to be? You saw how cute your friends were, and how happy Whooves as too. You could use a break too.” She sighed brushing Thunderlane’s mane. “I think it’ll be fine but...Thunderlane really likes being a toddler I think if you can care for me and Thunderlane i’ll accept.” Discord nodded “of course, Can’t be that hard. I  promise to do my very best while taking care of both of you.” He finished off by doing a Pinkie Promise. “Alright, i’m game,” she smiled as Discord pulled her into a hug. “ ‘excellent ,” he once more snapped teleporting the group to the park to meet up with Whooves and that one mare. Derpy waved at Fluttershy. ‘So, uh did you agree?” She asked idly checking Whooves diaper. Discord patted Fluttershy on the head “yep she agreed so how will this work?” Dr, Whooves grandmother turned to Dr. Whooves “first i’ll release the spell on my grandson.” She moved  over to Whooves twisting the hourglass on his diaper. The sand ran downwards as he began to grew up breaking the stroller underneath him as he became a full grown stallion plus a poofy time themed diaper. Derpy giggled seeing her lover wobble about “ugh that was weird. My legs feel like jelly.” His grandmother cooed, “now Whoovesy there will be side effects you may have trouble walking and might need to wear protection at night for a little while.” Dr. Whooves squealed “What! Why!?” He then squealed as he fell onto his bottom and Discord burst out laughing “aww even as a adult Whooves is a foal.” Derpy helped him up cooing “baby steps sweetheart. Come on show me how big you are.” Dr. Whooves sighed as he got up and was lead off by Derpy like a toddler. “Alright you can help me walk but no strollers.” “Aww but I saw an adorable one at that adult store a month ago.” “No!” Whooves blushed. “Don't yell at me young colt.” Derpy instantly mothered. The grandmother snickered before approaching Fluttershy. The mare got out a pocket watch having Fluttershy hold it. ‘Now  this won’t hurt a bit,” She pulled out a identical watch an began to wind it backwards. Fluttershy watched as her own timepiece begin to rotate backwards. “Wow i feel ...funny…” Fluttershy kept a hold of the watch as it seemed to grow in her grasp her focus solely on the rewinding hands of the clock.  Within two minutes, a cute chubby one year old Fluttershy was all that was left sitting on the snow. The pegasus feeling dizzy. “Aww, you look so cute,” Derpy cooed watching Discord gently pick her up and cradle. Fluttershy  couldn’t help but teeth on the silver watch giggling. Discord scooped the foal up and snuggled her “oh she’s perfect.” Thunderlane wandered by “oh uh daddy Discowd is mama a foaw now?” “Indeed for a whole year, I bet Pinkie will even throw her a birthday party too.” ‘Did somepony say party.” Pinkie head popped out of a bush without warning, causing everypony to jump with fright. “Gah, how did you do that.” Discord asked, peering around. “I have my ways, but my tail was twitching and my left ear felt hot which meant new foal in town.” She bounced over an giggled. “Oh, it just you Fluttershy, aww.” She began to make faces at her friend. ‘ I guess it’s your turn now huh?” Discord ruffled Pinkie’s mane “you were cute as a newborn too, it was just like it was yesterday you were playing with the cake twins.” Pinkie smirked, “I was a newborn playing with the twins. It was a blast” “Yes and lots of baby powder too.” The grandmother turned to Discord with a smile. “ well I better get going, I do have a timeline to watch and , oh discord can I ask a favor? Can you give some adult sized diapers to Dr. Whooves he’s going to need them while his body adjusts.” Discord smirked. “oh certainly he flicked a claw a saddle bag dropping onto Whooves back. Drapery sniff the air. “Hey they smell like fresh muffins. “ She peeked into the saddle bag and giggles. “Oh muffins print too, that’s perfect.” Whooves blushed as he tugged on Derpy’s tail. “I only have to wear them at night time right?” She patted his mane. “oh we better pad you up just in case. Your going to have to tell me if you need to go potty.” Dr. Whooves pouted but obeyed as he laid down and Derpy patted him up before giving a light kiss on his cheek. Discord nodded, “looks like we’ll have our baby whoovesy for a bit longer  Fluttershy can use the extra playmates.” ‘Yay,” Fluttershy pumped her tiny hooves in the air beaming wide wit her tiny baby teeth. Discord pat her fluffy diaper, ‘Well let’s go enjoy to festivities shall we. I bet Pinkie put a lot of effort into it.” Pinkie nodded, ”of course I did and I just became a adult a few hours ago!” Discord snickered poofing a diaper on her bottom when she not looking with cute little balloons on it. “Oh yes adult hmmmhmm.” The two foal snicker at the sight as they are taken plaza to have fun.  During the games, Fluttershy attempted to toss a ball to some bottles only for the ball to fall short. “aww,.” The stallion running hte stand pat her head. “Oh don’t worry little foal.” he offered her a tiny rattle for the various toys watching the tiny hooves grasp on it quickly. Discord snickers at his little prank as the group of adults watch Thunderlane waddle up to stand where you use a hammer to shoot the weight up to the bell.  He waits for Thunderlane to raise is tiny hooves before using his magic to boost the little tap into a might think sending the weight shooting upwards. The big ponies all gasp and stare at aww at the sight as the foal giggle and waddled back to Discord. Dr. Whooves was wagging his tail as he was being spoon fed by Derpy “open wide sweetheart.” Whooves blushed  “Derpy I can eat my-hmph.” Derpy put the spoon in anyway giggling. “Oh good boy, here comes some more.” “Stop it ‘mph” Whooves frowned swallowing again. -------- Pinkie waddled over to Mrs cake “iuh um I need a change.” Mrs. Cake turned puzzled before patting the diaper. “Oh your soaked looks like your body hasn’t adjusted from when you were a foal. Come on let's get you changed.” “Hehe, yes mama,” Pinkie bounced along side her  giddy. The rest of the night continued one with many games and performances to watch. Even Princess Luna made an appearance. “Oh Discord, is that Fluttershy?” Discord nodded. “Indeed, she this year new year foal.” “Oh why not put her on stage then?” “Well she is  very shy you know.” Discord patted Fluttershy diaper bottom. Luna gently picked up Fluttershy nuzzling the little foal, “come now it’s time for you to shine.” “Eeep,” Fluttershy squeaked, trying to hide behind her mane only to realize she didn't have the mane necessary to do so.”  Luna took her upon the stage as the clock tower chimed down. Fluttershy noticed her coat was glowing like a star too Dr. Whooves clapped his hooves “oh look she’s bringing in the new year!” Derpy patted his diaper “yep just like you did cutie.” “five...four..three..two..one! Happy new year!” The crowd of ponies all cheered, while a cute little sash appeared around Fluttershy belly.  The foal cooed looking at her new hat and sash too fixated on them to worry about the cheering crowd. “Oh she should totally be the flower foal at our wedding,” Derpy awwed watching the carefree expression on Fluttershy’s muzzle. “Yeah sure why not, Whooves clapped some more as Luna placed Fluttershy upon her back and flew her in small circles around Ponyville square. Fluttershy nuzzled Luna’s mane as she fell into a peaceful sleep dreaming of all the foalish things she’d get up to this year.. Discord clapped too as Luna landed nearby hoofing the slumbering filly to him. He cuddled her close smiling. “Well I did say I wanted to try being a daddy.” Luna smiled back. “I’m sure you’ll do great.” “Yeah here’s hoping,” Discord replied, softly laughing with a warm feeling in his chest.
