//------------------------------// // Chapter One: How NOT to raise the Sun or Moon // Story: A Guide To Surviving Baby Alicorns // by Foal Star //------------------------------// Immediately after Discord left Twilight with two baby alicorns, Celestia looked down at the thick, pudgy diaper bulging out between her legs and gave it a curious poke. This made it crinkle quite loudly, accompanied by a cute poof of foal powder as she squeaked. "Oh wow, Wuna, we weawwy awe foaws. Tis is gweat!" Luna was quite surprised and looked down at her own thick diaper, giving it a few curious pokes. "Yeah, wooks wike we wiwwy awe, Tia. And Twiwight’s gonna be ouw mommy." Celestia waddled over to her sister and gave her tummy a poke. "Wook at aww tat foaw fat, bout time ya got some weight on ya!" The alicorn filly blushed and pushed Celestia's hoof away. "Weww, ya fattew ten me! Ya need to stop eating aww tat cake." Her sister snapped back. "Nuh-uh, I was onwy a wittwe fat, and cakes are yummy! Besides ,ya sneak into ta kitchen aww ta time steawin cookies! Ya a naughty fiwwy!" Luna pouted and shouted. "It not steawin! My nighty night guawds make tem fow me! Besides tey dun make me fat wike ya cakes!" Celestia snapped back. "Ya stop tat! Cake is bettew ten cookies!" Luna stomped about and whined. "Cookies!" "Cake!" "Cookies!" "Cake!" Twilight was still trying to comprehend what was going on, so for a moment she just stood there and looked down at who used to be princesses of Equestria. Now they were two diaper dependant foals bickering over whether cake or cookies were better. She shook her head, stomped a hoof on the ground and shouted. "Hey, listen up you two!” The two foals looked up with surprise to see Twilight in a silly, pink apron with the words "Royal Nanny" printed on it in a frilly, cursive script. The two foals couldn't help but snicker upon seeing Twilight in her embarrassing outfit as she tried to explain as calmly as possible. "Ok you two. I need you girls to calm down and do normal foal stuff. I don't want things to go crazy like they have with all the other regressed ponies." Celestis started to bounce up and down on her thick diaper as she replied. "Wight, we wiww twy to be good foaws Twily. We pwomice we not gonna twy ta dwive ya cwazy." Luna was blowing bubbles from her mouth as Celestia took a hoof, making the princess of the night squeak and babble. "Oh yeah! I too going to be good! I pwomice!" Twilight giggled and dawwed seeing how cute the two foals were being as she knelt down and ruffled their manes. "Alright sweethearts. Come on, let's get you two some breakfast. I bet you're hungry." She hoisted the two foals up with her magic as they kicked about in their padding, making it crinkle with puffs of foal powder coming out from the leg holes. Twilight dawwed once again as she nuzzled the two. "Oh, you two are so cute as foals! I bet this is going to be so easy ,and fun! I'm going to win Discord's bet no problem." She then brought the two baby princesses to the royal kitchen. There was a circular pink plastic table, with a tiled floor consisting of pink and white tiles. There was also a fridge with one side labeled "Sun Butt's food" while the other had "Moon Butts's food." labeled on it. Surrounding the table were two highchairs, one being white with Celestia's cutie mark printed on it while the other was dark blue and had Luna's cutie mark. Twilight strapped the two in fastening the straps around their cute, pudgy padding. She then took out two jars of foal food from the fridge. One was cake flavored and the other was cookie flavored. Twilight shook her head. "This is clearly not healthy for two growing foals but whatever. If it keeps them from fighting, it's worth it. I can always make them go on a diet later if need be." The mare turned her attention to the two princesses and began to spoon feed them with a small, pink rubber spoon. The princesses were munching on the foal food, some of it falling onto their bibs and all over their faces. Twilight just snickered as she continued to plop the foal food into their mouths. When it was all done Twilight went about cleaning them both with a rag. However, the two princesses started to get antsy as Celestia was sticking a hoof up her nose as she asked. "Hey, Woona, what ya wanna do as a baby?" Luna shoved a hoof into her mouth with drool pouring down her chin as she mumbled. "Hmm, what if we twy waising ta sun and moon? Ya tink we can stiww do it as babies?" Celestia squealed and started to bounce up and down in excitement, making giant clouds of foal powder puff around her as she shouted. "Yeah! Wets do it!" Twilight (having overheard) got quite concerned and responded. "Ih...I don't think that's a good idea. We should try some simple spells first to see if you're re-" But before she could stop them, the two baby alicorns lit their horns and the princesses teleported away in a big puff of smoke. Twilight squeaked and ran around the castle, shouting, "Celestia! Luna! Get your flanks back here, now!" The princesses both appeared on top of the castle overlooking Canterlot. Luna looked up into the sky and eyed the sun. She squinted her eyes and groaned as her horn lit up with a purple aura. The sun slowly disappeared, and the moon rose up in the sky. Upon opening her eyes, she smirked, looking up at the moon and responded. "There! Ya see, Tia?! I can raise ta moon!" Celestia laughed as she waddled over and poked her sister's padding making it squish audibly as it was now soggy and stained yellow. The princess of the sun jeered. "Ha ha, ya pee-pee in ya diapee!" Luna brushed her sister's hoof away and whined. "Stop it, Tia! I a baby now! Besides, ya sometimes wet ta bed when ya was a big pony! Ya did it even aftew I came back fwom ta moon!" Celestia's face flushed red as she cried. "Hey! Stop tat, Wuna! Ya pwomiced nevew to say tat!" The princess of the night crossed her hooves and babbled. "I sowie, but ya was being a big meanie!" The princess of the sun whined. "Weww ya pee-pee ta bed too sometimes aftew ya came back fwom ta moon. I even hewped ya weawn how ta use ta new potties! So we even!" Luna blushed, remembering how Celestia had to potty train her a little after coming back from the moon (not only did the moon not have potties, but plumbing fixtures in Equestria had changed drastically in a thousand years) and sighed. "Awight, fine. Now can ya waise ta sun, wets see if ya can do tis!" Celestia squinted her eyes like her sister did and grunted, lighting her horn as the moon started to lower and the sun rose up again. But she also let out a loud hiss and squealed upon seeing her diaper was now soaked in urine. Luna burst into laughter, rolling on the ground and kicking about in her soggy padding as she babbled. "See ya pee-pee in ya diapee too, Tia!" Celestia cried, crossing her hooves over her yellow-stained padded front and whined. "Fine, ya win, Wuna! I guess we pee-pee when we use too much magic." Luna nodded as she sat up and poked her padding, making it squish under her hoof as she babbled. "Wight. Now Twily gots to change owa diapees, tey soggy and gwoss." Celestia looked up at the sun and gave a long sigh as she whispered. "Isn't ta sun so cool tough? It feels so wawm and good!" Luna looked up and shrugged her tiny hooves as she replied. "I tink ta moon is bettew. It big, it gwows and feews good on ya." Princess Celestia snapped. "Nah uh! Ta moon stinks! Tat means we gots to go sweepie times! Now we foaws, so we gots to go to sweep eawy!" Luna pouted and shook her head. "Nah uh! Ya dun need to go sweepies! We foaws so we gonna cwy and pee owa diapees duwing ta night awot anyways! Besides when ya sweep ya get coow dreams too!" Celestia shook her head and babbled. "I tink ta moon wooks wike a big diapee! Wike ya padded butt!" Luna got flustered and shouted back. "Tia, sun wooks wike a big, stupid diapee design! And ya a poopy head!" She lit her horn, and the moon rose up again despite Luna soaking her diaper even more. Celestia had a look of anger on her face as she roared, "Nah uh, ya a soggy butt! Ta sun is bettew!" The princess closed her eyes and grunted, raising the sun once again despite peeing her diaper again as well. "Sun!" "Moon!" "Sun!" "Moon!" This fight went on for some time with the two princesses having soaked their diapers so much that they were drooping between their legs. Meanwhile, the sun and moon flickered back and forth across the sky. Twilight just gulped as she looked out a window and up at the sky, seeing the sun and moon rising and falling rapidly and squeaked out. "What's going on?!" She then tapped a hoof to her chin and gasped. "The princesses! They have to be on the roof! Oh, I should’ve known they’d still have their magic!" The unicorn squinted and teleported instantly onto the roof of the palace to see the alicorn babies shouting and grunting while raising their respective celestial bodies. Twilight's face turned bright red and steam billow out of her nostrils as she ran up to the two fillies while shouting. "Hey, you two! Stop that right now! You’re going to make everypony confused!" The baby princesses both turned to the angry mare as Celestia asked. "Hey, Twily, what do you tink is better? Ta sun or ta moon?" Luna turned around and asked. "Yeah, which one, Twily? Ta Moon is so much bettew, wight?" Twilight roared, taking the two into her magic and replied. "Neither, they are both good. Now stop doing that, you're probably freaking everypony out in Equestria right now!" Celestia shook her head and whined. "Nuh-uh, tey love ta sun! Watch, I’ll give it a smiley face!" She then zapped the sun with a burst of magic. It now had a big, goofy smile printed on it. The baby alicorn clapped her hooves and squealed. "See?! Now ponies will wuv ta sun more!" Twilight was only horrified upon seeing the sun with its goofy smile. She turned and shouted, "Celestia, you return the sun to normal this instant, missy!" Luna snapped back. "Yeah! Ya can't do tat! I wana make ta moon better!" She zapped the moon with her horn. The moon was now a ball of cheddar cheese with holes all over it. The baby alicorn rose up with a big smile on her face as she chirped. "Tere, now ta moon is made of cheddar cheese! Everypony wuvs cheese! Maybe I’ww tuwn it gween!" Twilight squeaked at what she saw and snapped. "Hey, I said to stop that!" But before Twilight could do anything, Celestia and Luna both disappeared in a puff of smoke, and they suddenly appeared on top of a tower. The baby princess of the sun exclaimed, "I gonna make my sun be made of someting coower!" She shot her magic at the sun as it turned into a giant sun-shaped cake. "See It now ta sun is made of cake! Cake is better ten cheese!" Luna whined and stomped about as she shot her magic, turning the sun into a giant, folded up diaper with Celestia's cutie mark on it. Celestia cried out as Luna clapped her hooves and squealed. "Tere! Now ta sun is a diapee!" Celestia, with an angry pout on her face shot a beam of magic and turned the moon into a giant, folded diaper with Luna's cutie mark printed on it. “And ta moon is a diapee too! We even!” Twilight was beyond angry at this point! She teleported over near the princesses and stomped a hoof while shouting. "You two get down here this instant! I mean it! You shouldn’t be up that high!" Celestia looked down at Twilight and shouted. "Dun wana come down! Not until Wuna changes ta sun back to nowmaw!" Luna snapped back. "Ya change ta moon back to nowmaw fiwst, Tia!" Celestia snapped back. "Nuh-uh, ya fiwst!" Luna kicked about and whined. "Nuh-uh, ya fiwst!" Twilight stomped her hoof down quite angrily and snapped. "That’s enough! You're both going to be in big trouble if you don't change the sun and moon back to normal right now! Do you understand?!" The baby alicorns both grumbled, but their horns lit up and shot their magic at the celestial bodies, reverting to their normal forms. Twilight turned her attention to Luna. "Now Luna, please lower the moon. You can raise it later tonight, ok?" Luna gave a nod and grunted as she lowered the moon. She started to pee in her diaper again and squeaked as the sodden padding plopped onto the ground. Celestia burst into a fit of laughter, making Luna roar as she tackled her sister. However, they both rolled off the tower and began falling fast! Twilight squealed in horror as she positioned herself under the falling alicorn babies and caught the two foals in a beam of magic. She slowly placed the foals, gently on the ground. She was still glaring at them, but tears started to well up in the foals’ eyes, and soon the alicorns began bawling. Twilight had to hold her hooves to her ears and lay on her belly and braced herself. She tried to hold on, but she almost got thrown off the castle with the wails of the baby alicorns creating waves. She then had to crawl her way through the waves of screams slowly. At last Twilight made it to the two baby alicorns, who were bawling their eyes out. The mare took them into her magic, pulled them into a hug and plopped two pacifiers into their mouths. The wailing suddenly stopped as the babies suckled on them and calmed down as Twilight hushed and sang gently to them. It took some time, but they eventually fell asleep in her hooves, and Twilight gave a sigh of relief. "Hopefully that's the end of that. Can’t believe I forgot about the Royal Canterlot Voice, or in this case the Royal Canterlot Temper Tantrum." She then plopped the sleeping foals onto her back, and she climbed into a nearby castle window. Then the mare plopped down and waddled across the seemingly empty castle. Eventually though, she entered a room that was labeled "Sun Butt and Moon Butt's Nursery." At least someone had been considerate enough to leave that for her. She slowly opened the door to see a giant nursery. The left side of the room had a pink colored wall with smiling suns and cakes painted over it; the carpet had little cakes and suns printed on it. The crib was big with pink bars and baby blankets with Celestia's cutie mark printed on them. The right side of the wall had a purple colored wall, with sleeping moons and cookies painted over it: and there was a purple carpet with little cookies and moons, along with a big crib with purple bars and baby blankets with Luna’s cutie mark printed on them. In the middle of the room was a big pink and purple padded changing table with Twilight’s emblem printed on the front. Twilight gave a deep sigh and shook her head. “Only Discord could’ve conjured this up. What did I ever expect?” She thought aloud. Twilight proceeded to hover the foals over to the table, placed them upon it and after untapping Celestia’s diaper started to clean both foals’ rumps and crotch areas. They both were still tearing up, and Twilight tried to hush them. "Hey, it's ok. I know you’re babies now, and your minds have probably been altered a little due to the regression. Just listen to me, and everything will be okay. Now come on, let's get you two changed and settle you in for a nap." Twilight tried to be gentle with the two fillies kicking and cooing. Twilight then gave each of their rumps a thorough powdering and made sure their rumps were as white as could be. The mare then began to strap them in new poofy (and crinkly) diapers. The mare stood up to admire her work but squealed with a blush growing on her face upon seeing she taped the wrong diapers on the wrong babies. Celestia had Luna's cutie mark on her diaper while Luna had Celestia's cutie mark on her diaper. The unicorn rubbed a hoof across her face and sighed. "Whatever, they’re just diapers so it’s no big deal. Maybe it’ll help them appreciate each other more." Twilight then plopped Luna in her crib and slowly tucked her under the sheets. "Ok sweetheart you behave, alright? And don't do any dream walking as a foal." Luna yawned and babbled. "Otay Twily, I pwomice." The mare then went to Celestia's crib, tucked the princess in and kissed her on the cheek. "You behave as well and don't try doing anything silly with the sun." The princess nodded as she babbled. "Otay Twily, I pwomice. But ya gots to give me a wettew bout fwiendship stiww! I haven’t had one in a wong time." Twilight snickered. “Sure, I'll think of something,” She then walked towards the door and cooed. "Please behave and take a nap, alright?" The two foals nodded as the mare closed the door and sighed. "Please take a nap, I need to go tell the citizens of Equestria that they have nothing to worry about. Hopefully I can somehow explain that the regression situation is under control." She thought to herself.
