//------------------------------// // Part 3 // Story: Foal Kingdom // by BubblePuff //------------------------------// Luna scanned the dreamscape. She could see all the dreams of every pony in Equestria. But when she tried to see the dreams of the Crystal Empire, Luna was blocked by a magic field and saw nothing. The same thing happened with Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. Celestia walked in on her younger sister. “Any luck Luna?” She asked. Luna sighed and shook her head. “None my sister. I cannot peer into the dreams of the Crystal Empire. The same thing goes for Twilight and her friends. A source of great magic is blocking my view of the dreamscape.” Celestia walked out onto a balcony, pausing to take in the view of Canterlot. “I fear the worst Luna. The time has come for us to go to the Crystal Empire.” Luna nodded. “Agreed. We must set out at once.”   Meanwhile, Moondancer was walking through Ponyville towards Twilight’s castle when a paper airplane suddenly hit her in the face. “What in Equestria?” Moondancer adjusted her eyeglasses and then picked up the paper airplane. She unfolded it to find a picture that looked like it was drawn by a foal. Moondancer considered throwing it away, but then a thought in the back of her mind told her to hang on to it. Moondancer placed the picture in her bag and continued to Twilight’s castle. Once there, Moondancer knocked on the massive doors and was greeted by Starlight Glimmer. “Hello Moondancer.” Starlight said. “What brings you here?” “Twilight invited me over to work on some new spells. Is she here?” Moondancer asked. Starlight shook her head. “Twilight had to leave at the last minute to solve a friendship problem in the Crystal Empire. She didn’t say when she would be back, but it has been a few days.” Moondancer thought that this all sounded a bit odd. Then she remembered the picture. She reached into her bag and gave it to Starlight. “On my over here this strange picture flew into my face. Here, have a look.” Starlight examined the picture. “It looks like it was made by a foal. However…” “However what?” Moondancer asked. “Well, the pony that drew this put in quite some detail for their age. The picture looks like Flurry Heart turning Twilight and the others into foals.” “You don’t think it has anything to do with the Crystal Empire, do you?” Moondancer asked. “There’s only one way to find out. We’re heading for the Crystal Empire.” Starlight replied. Moondancer was overjoyed. “Alright! My first friendship mission!” Moondancer waited for Starlight to gather her things, and soon the two were on their way. Twilight and her friends once again awoke in their individual cribs in the nursery. It had been a few days since they were all turned into foals by Flurry Heart.  Even though their adult minds remained intact, they could feel themselves slowly giving in to their foal tendencies. Twilight felt her stomach rumble. She could also hear the rumbling stomachs of her friends. “Fluwwy Heawt! We hungwy!” Twilight called out. Sunburst came into the nursery. He picked up each foal individually and placed them on his back. Sunburst then walked down to the dinning hall where Flurry Heart, along with Shining and Cadance,  were already waiting for them. Sunburst placed them all in high chairs around the long table, with Twilight seated next to Flurry Heart. “Guess wats for bweakfast?” Flurry Heart said excitedly. “I don’t know. Fowmula?” Twilight guessed. “Candy!” Flurry Heart Cheered. She clapped her hooves and a hypnotized Flash Sentry walked into the dinning hall carrying a large sack of candy. He dumped it all onto the table, and Flurry Heart grabbed a giant lollipop and instantly began licking it. Shining nommed on a chocolate bar, and Cadance sucked on a candy cane. Twilight was about to dig in, but then she fought off her foalish instincts. “Shouldn’t we be eating something nutwicious?” Flurry Heart rolled her eyes. “Only dum dum gwown ups eat dat stuff. Dis da Foal Kingdom! We can eat whatevew we want!” “But we gwowing ponies.” Twilight argued.   “I want abble sauce!” Applejack complained. Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy also demanded apple sauce. Only Pinkie Pie wanted the candy. She dove right in, her cheeks filled to the limit with sweets. “Uhhh, fine!” Flurry Heart clapped her hooves. Flash Sentry disappeared to the kitchen. He reappeared a few minutes later with five bowls of apple sauce. When breakfast was finished, Flurry Heart teleported everypony to a gigantic playpen filled with toys. “Play time!” She announced. Rainbow Dash tried to reach for some Wonderbolts action figures, but Flurry Heart snagged them up first. “Hey! I wanna play wit does!” Rainbow complained. “Too bad! I da pwincess, so I get any toy I want!” Flurry Heart bragged. Rainbow tried to snatch them away from Flurry Heart. “Gimme!” Flurry Heart took off flying around the playpen. “Can’t catch me!” Flurry Heart giggled. Rainbow screamed in frustration. Meanwhile, Fluttershy held a rabbit plushie. As she looked at it, memories of Angel Bunny came flooding into her head. Fluttershy then broke out crying. Flurry Heart landed next to Fluttershy. “Y u sad? It play time.” Fluttershy wiped her face. “I miss Angel Bunny and my othew amnimals.”   “But u a foal now. U can whatevew u want.” Said Flurry Heart. Twilight crawled over to comfort Fluttershy. “And Fluttewshy wants to be wit her amnimals! We can’t be foals forevew Fluwwy, we have wesponsibilities!” “No!” Flurry Heart said defiantly. “Being a foal is gweat! And I gonna pwove it!” At that moment, Celestia and Luna both came bursting into the playpen room. The lead guard came running up from behind, trying to keep his pull ups on as he ran. “I sowwy youw majesty, but these two demanded to see u.” Celestia took one look around. Upon seeing Cadance, Shining, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity as foals, she became furious. “Flurry Heart! What is going on here?” Flurry Heart crawled forward. “Aunt Tia, dis is da Foal Kingdom now. Only foals awe allowed.” “Flurry Heart, what you are doing is wrong.” Said Luna. “We demand that you restore the Crystal Empire and its citizens to their original state immediately!” Flurry Heart shook her head. “Nuh-uh! Dis my kingdom now!” “Then you leave us no choice.” Celestia said. She and Luna both lit up their horns. Twilight tried to warn them. “Wait! Ur magic-” Only sparks came out of their horns. “-Doesn’t work hewe.” Twilight said as she face hoofed herself. “Only I have da magic!” Flurry Heart proclaimed. She then brightly lit up her horn, and blasted Celestia and Luna with a large beam of magic. There was a bright flash, and when the light died down Celestia and Luna had been turned into one day old foals. They were already swaddled in pink and dark blue blankets respectively, and were already fast asleep. Twilight’s jaw dropped and nearly hit the floor. “Fluwwy Heawt, wat have u done?!” Flurry Heart giggled. “Now I da only pwincess in Equestwia! And no pony will evew take away my Foal Kingdom!”
