Over the next three days, Luna made preparations for her plan. She even made sure that when the spell is cast, no one would notice her changed appearance and found a way that the families of the ponies she uses the spell on, would not question what happened to that member. The only thing that Luna has yet to do is inform her sister about how she going to become a mother.

"Are sure about this Luna?" asked Celestia once Luna had explained her plan.

"Yes sister. I am." replied Luna.

"Very well. I wish you luck. I know you'll make a good mother." Said older alicorn giving her sister a hug.

Luna gave Celestia her thanks and left to begin her plan. The following evening, Luna silently flew to Ponyville where her soon-to-be daughters lived. The night princess softly landed at the Cutie Mark Crusaders clubhouse and gently knocked on the door.

"Yes? Oh, Princess Luna. What brings you here?" asked Apple Bloom when she opened the door.

"What? Princes Luna's here?" called one of the crusaders.

Apple Bloom opened the door wider to let Luna entry.

"Sorry for dropping by so late. I have a small favor to you three. If that alright with you." Said Luna once she was inside.

"Of course Princess. You can ask us anything." replied Scootaloo.

"Yeah. Anything you need at all princess." agreed Sweetie Belle.

"Very well. I would like you three girls to become my new daughters." Said the night princess.

The request stunned the three fillies into silence. It was a few seconds before any of them found their voices.

"I'm sorry. What?" asked Apple Bloom.

Luna explained that she had been yearning to becoming a mother for the past several weeks. However, she didn't feel like using some poor stallion just get pregnant. Neither, did she feel comfortable adopting a colt or filly.

"But, you want us to become your daughters? How does that work?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"There's a spell. Forbidden to all, save for a select few. This spell allows the user to basically turn anypony into an unborn foal. However, the caster must be a mare and the would-be newborns must be willing." answered Luna.

"But, Why us? There must be ponies that could be your kids." Said Apple Bloom concern lacing her voice.

"There are. But, I only ask you three because you are the only three I trust, other Celestia." replied the moon princess.

"If we agree to do this. Will we remember anything? And will our families remember us?" asked the orange pegasus filly.

"Only if you want to. I can't force you into this. But no, most of your memories of this previous life will be sealed away along with your families of you. They'll forget about you,but there's a small chance that your memories and their memories of you, will come back. Memories can't just be destroyed." Said Luna.

After some deep thought, the crusaders agreed to become Luna's new daughters on the condition that they would remember their past lives. The condition was reasonable for Luna and started to cast the spell. Once it was done, Luna appeared to be a good eight months pregnant with triplets. The now pregnant moon princess left the former crusaders clubhouse and headed back to Cantorlot.
