//------------------------------// // Part 4 // Story: Foal Kingdom // by BubblePuff //------------------------------// Flurry Heart flew to the top of a massive corkscrew slide that had been erected in the center of the Foal Kingdom. She sat her diapered butt down and slid down at top speed. “WEEEE!” Flurry Heart shouted as she slid down the massive slide. Flurry Heart finally arrived at the bottom, slipping off of the slide and into a giant ball pit. “Again!” Close by, Twilight watched and felt defeated. She could only watch as her friends were now fully regressed mentally into foals. Rarity was playing with toy blocks. Applejack was making pictures with hoof paint. Fluttershy was having a tea party with animal plushies. Rainbow Dash was playing with Wonderbolt action figures. Pinkie Pie was bouncing around on a giant ball. Twilight looked over at Celestia and Luna. Both were laid out on a changing mat and being changed by Sunburst. Celestia suckled on a bottle of formula while Luna threw a temper tantrum, crying and waving around all four of her limbs. Twilight sighed. She then looked over at a recreation of her smarty pants doll that Flurry Heart had created for her. “I might as well.” Twilight said with a sigh. She picked up the doll and started playing with it. Her adult mind slowly slipped away as she regressed into foalhood. Starlight Glimmer and Moondancer both arrived at the outer gate of the Foal Kingdom. Moondancer removed her glasses and wiped them off before placing them back on her head. “Are you sure this is the right place?” She asked Starlight. Starlight looked at the map, then looked again at the Foal Kingdom. “The map says this should be the Crystal Empire. I’ve never heard of this Foal Kingdom before.” A moment later, two foal guards charged right at them. The guards struck Starlight and Moondancer with their foam swords. Moondancer and Starlight looked down at the foals, then at each other in disbelief. They both then used their magic to lift the guards up by the waistband of their diapers. “What do you think you’re doing?” Starlight asked. “Where are your parents?” “U a dum dum gwown up!” One of the guards said. “U no allowed in da Foal Kingdom!” “By whose decree?” Moondancer demanded. “By da decwee of pwincess Fluwwy Heawt!” The other guard said. “Well! We’ll see about that!” Said Starlight. She and Moondancer walked into the Foal Kingdom. As soon as they entered however, their magic stopped working. The guards fell and landed on the padded ground rump first, bouncing on their diapers. “What the hay?” Moondancer asked. “Why did our magic stop working?” “Only da magic of Fluwwy Heawt works in da Foal Kingdom.” The first guard said. Starlight turned to Moondancer. “We’d better regroup. It would not be wise to confront Flurry Heart directly if she has become this powerful.” Starlight and Moondancer turned around and left the Foal Kingdom. Just then, they noticed a colt around the age of five tunneling out from under the force field. The colt had a cream colored coat and a dark brown mane and tail. His cutie mark was a coffee bean. Starlight and Moondancer went over to him. “Excuse me,are you okay?” Starlight asked. Upon seeing the two mares, the colt ran up and hugged them both. “Adults! Oh thank Celestia you’re here!” Moondancer knelt down beside the colt. “What’s your name? And why were you tunneling out of the Foal Kingdom?” “My name is Morning Brew, and I left because of Flurry Heart.” Morning Brew then explained everything that had happened, including Celestia and Luna being turned into foals. Moondancer turned to Starlight. “This is more serious than we thought.” “Wait, why were escaping?” Starlight asked. “The Foal Kingdom sounds like a paradise.” “Well, it’s not.” Morning Brew replied. “My mom and dad have become diaper wearing foals. I have no pony to teach me, to read me a bedtime story, or even to cook me meals! Trust me, you get really sick of eating nothing but candy all day. I just want my parents back!” “Are there any adults in the Foal Kingdom at all?” Asked Moondancer. Morning Brew sighed. “Just a hooffull of guards and the royal crystaler, Sunburst. Flurry Heart has them hypnotized.” “Flurry Heart has enslaved Sunburst!” Starlight exclaimed. Moondancer looked back towards Morning Brew. “Are there any other fillies and colts that feel the same way you do?” “Of course.” Morning Brew answered. “But they’re all too afraid of Flurry Heart and her power to stand up to her.” Starlight thought for a moment, then smiled. “I have an idea.”   After going down the slide for the thousandth time, Flurry Heart decided to do something else. It was then that she saw Rarity playing with her favourite toy whammy. Furious, Flurry Heart crawled over to Rarity. “Wat u doin?! Whammy is mine!” “We playing dwess up.” Rarity said. “Go play wit something else.” Flurry Heart grabbed ahold of whammy. “Gimme!” Rarity grabbed whammy and pulled it back. “No!” The two foals tugged back and forth with the snail plushie, neither one of them willing to let go. Eventually, a loud rip was heard. Whammy had a large tear in its shell. Stuffing was falling out everywhere. Flurry Heart’s face turned bright red. She then let out a scream so loud that it almost shattered the crystal heart for a second time. “YOU BROKE MY WHAMMY!!!” Flurry Heart’s magic then went out of control. She created a cyclone that swept up all the toys and foal supplies. Bolts of magic shot out from her horn. Every foal that wasn’t scared and crying were running for their lives. Amidst all the chaos that would have made Discord proud, Starlight and Moondancer both marched up to Flurry Heart. “Flurry Heart! That is enough!” Starlight shouted.   Flurry Heart halted her temper tantrum. Her magic dissipated, and all of the toys and foal products that were swept up in the magic cyclone came raining back down. “Wat do u want!?” Flurry Heart demanded.  “No gwown ups allowed!” “Flurry Heart, your reign over the Foal Kingdom must come to an end.” Said Starlight. “You’ve taken things too far!” “U a dum dum! My Foal Kingdom is gweat! Evewypony is happy!” Flurry Heart stated. “No they’re not. And we can prove it.” Moondancer then waved her hoof, and Morning Brew came trotting over. Behind him were all the colts and fillies of the former Crystal Empire. “Flurry Heart, we want our parents back!” All of the fillies and colts supported Morning Brew by shouting out “Yeah!” In unison. “But Y? Wat wwong wit da Foal Kingdom?” Flurry asked. One by one, the fillies and colts aired their grievances. “I want my mom back to read me bedtime stories!” “I want my dad back so we can play catch again!” “I’m sick of candy! I just want a hayburger!” And on and on it went. When they were finished, Starlight approached Flurry Heart. “Don’t you see? These colts fillies are not happy. You need to turn things back to normal.” Flurry Heart crossed her hooves. “No! Pawents are poopy heads!” “You can’t mean that Flurry.” Moondancer said. “Do you honestly not miss your parents even a tiny bit?” Flurry Heart thought for a few moments. She remembered all of the good times she had with her mom and dad. The times that they played together. The times that they laughed. Most importantly, she remembered the times when here parents told her that they loved her. Flurry Heart broke out crying. “I want mommy and daddy back!” Starlight picked up Flurry Heart and gently rubbed her back. “Then you what you have to do Flurry.” Flurry Heart wiped her eyes and nodded. Pointing her horn at the crystal heart, she shot a beam of magic into it. A wave of white light echoed from the crystal heart and swept across the Foal Kingdom, turning it back into the Crystal Empire. All the Stallions and Mares that had been regressed into foals were turned back into adults. Sunburst, Flash Sentry, and the other guards were un-hypnotized. All of the fillies and colts were reunited with their parents. Morning Brew ran up and gave his mom and dad a huge hug. Spike changed to normal, though left feeling light headed and falling off of the table he was on. Twilight and her friends, as well as Celestia and Luna, also returned to normal. Cadance and Shining Armor were the last to change back. When they did, they looked directly at Flurry Heart with stern eyes. Flurry tried to make an innocent look, but she knew that she was in deep, deep, trouble. Over the next few days, the Crystal Empire was put back in order. Every building, shop, house, and street was restored. Including Spike’s statue (Which he personally oversaw.) As for Flurry Heart, her punishment was just. Her horn was encased in magicite and her wings were tied to her body. Flurry was banned from using magic or flying for one whole year. She also could not have anymore sweets ever, all of her toys were donated to charity, and she had to publicly apologise to every citizen of the Crystal Empire. Most ponies accepted the apology, but some still remained leary. The mane six, along with Spike, Celestia, and Luna, were the last to receive an apology. “I sowwy.” Flurry Heart said with a frown. Twilight stepped forwards. “Apology accepted. Perhaps this time off from your powers will give you a new appreciation for them and your position as a princess. In fact, your parents and I have been talking, and we’ve agreed that when you are older you can come study at my school of friendship.” Rarity then approached Flurry Heart. “I know that all of your toys were given away to charity, but your parents said you could still have one. And from what I remember, this particular toy got a little torn up so I got fixed it for you.” Rarity then used her magic to float over a fully stitched up whammy to Flurry Heart. She smiled and squealed, hugging the snail plushie tightly. Twilight then turned to face Starlight and Moondancer. “Thank you both for saving the day. If you two had never gotten my picture, I might have been stuck as a foal forever.” Starlight and Moondancer both looked at each other and snickered. “I don’t know, you looked pretty cute as a foal.” Said Starlight. “Especially with your little diapered butt.” Moondancer said with a giggle. “Watch it.” Twilight replied with a smirk.
