//------------------------------// // Chapter Two: The Sleepover Back in Time // Story: Twilight Sparkle Lost in Time // by Foal Star //------------------------------// Twilight was playing with her "new" friends as they scampered around the padded floor of the nursery in their crinkling pampers, playing a game of tag. Then the unicorn was suddenly picked up by Rebecca Pie, and the filly cried out as she kicked about in her soaked pampers. The pudgy earth pony couldn't help but daww as she cooed. "Now now, somepony needs a diapee change." "Nah, dun want one!" Twilight cried, kicking about and whining as she was taken to a changing table, taken aback by how she was acting like quite a foal, seeing her soaked diaper and not even noticing she had gone. After what felt like hours, she was taken from the changing table and plopped down with the rest of her friends. As they all giggled, Twilight whined as she snapped. "Seriously? Why didn' ya teww me bout' me being super soggy?" "What ya talking bout? Who cares if ya diaper's wet, ya cwy ten somepony changes ya." Minuette babbled back in confusion. Moondancer sat back on her padding and scoffed. "Weww, I say owa new fwiend has a point, we should've said something 'cause she probably has a diapee wash now." The younger Twilight waddled over, shaking her padded rump about and proudly proclaimed. "Weww, I have a cwying schedule; I cry every few hours to make sure I nevew get a diapee wash." The Twilight from the future simply sat back with a blush growing on her cheeks, only now knowing she'd been so methodical even as a foal. Moondancer crossed her hooves across her chest with a cute pout as she scoffed. "Hey, tat my idea! I ta one who told ya bout that!" "Nah uh!" Twilight snapped back at Moondancer. It didn't take long before the two unicorns started bickering back and forth while parents of the foals started to flood the nursery, picking up their foals one by one. It didn't take long for Twilight Velvet and "Sweet Bread" to pluck up their little ones. "Choco Butter" and "Muffin Top" were scooped up and strapped into their strollers. The Twilight from the future turned to see her brother for the first time. Shining Armor was a chubby little school foal with a scruffy striped light and dark blue man, and he was still a blank flank. The school colt turned to Fancy Pants, who waddled over and hugged the older colt as he exclaimed. "Hey, guess what?! My mom signed me up for preschool! I start next week!" Shining Armor started bouncing up and down, getting quite excited as he shouted! "That's so cool! I'm still a year older than ya, though, so you need to catch up!" Twilight Velvet looked down at the little toddler Fancy Pants and asked. "How was daycare? No accidents, I hope." Rebecca Pie shook her head as she came over. "Nope, he went to the potty all by himself. I think he's about ready to get out of pull-ups and stop being Fancy Pumps." "That's good to hear, I'll inform his mother when we see her tomorrow. She'll no doubt wanna through a big bash to celebrate." Twilight Velvet explained as she (along with "Sweet Bread") then took the foals and headed out the door. The two mothers pushed their foals through the streets with the two colts toddling alongside the strollers. The Twilight from the future looked over at her brother, waddling alongside her like this. She was still captivated by seeing her as he exclaimed. "Hey, mom! Our teacher was talking about what we want to do when we grow up. I tink I want to be a knight and protect Princess Celestia." "Oh, really? That sounds interesting." Twilight Velvet snickered as Shining took a stick and started swinging it about in his mouth. "Muffin Top" gulped as she started to get a bit nervous, thinking she needed to make sure Shining became a royal guard and that her time travel didn't mess that up as she babbled. "Yeah, I think ya shouwd be a knight, tat would be gweat!" "Yeah, see! Even ta baby said, I should be one!... I think?" Shining replied as he tapped a hoof to his chin. The mothers both dawwed and chuckled as the filly sighed, assuming they'd all just heard baby babble. They eventually made it to her old house, which was surprisingly the same as how she always remembered it: The main living room rather plain with family pictures dotting the place, a couch in the back, and a rug in the middle of the room. A few things clearly showed young foals lived here as there was a playpen full of toys on the rug, plus a bunch of pictures drawn in crayon dotted about the floor and on the walls. Shining Armor soon ran over to his mom, asking. "Hey, can I and Fancy Pants go play in my room?" Twilight Velvet turned around and explained with a smile. "Oh, of course, you can! But you better clean up afterward if you make a mess." Before they left, Fancy Pants asked. "Um, can Choco Butter pway with us? He and I kind of became friends at daycawe, and I want him to join us." Twilight Velvet turned to "Sweat Bread" and asked. "Well, what do you think? Is it ok for your foal to play with the other colts?" "Oh, of course. But do be gentle; he is only a baby after all." "Sweet Bread," replied with a smile as "Choco Butter" was lifted out from the confines of his stroller and was placed with Shining Armor, who giggled. "Yeah! I got a baby brother now! I always wanted one!" The three colts then ran off down the hall to go play in Shining's room while the young fillies were placed in the playpen. Twilight Velvet turned to her new friend and asked. "Now, while the foals play, why don't we head to the kitchen? I would love to treat you to some of my cooking." "Oh, of course, that sounds delightful! Have fun, you three!" Time Flies chimed as the two mares walked off. Twilight then turned to her new friend and demanded. "Otay Muffin Top, ya in my house, and tat means ya follow my wuwes!" The other Twilight got quite angry as she snapped. "Hold on, ya can't just boss me around!" The baby Twilight waddled off with a smile on her face. "Yeah, I can, is my house!" "Wha about wuwes about hospity?" "Muffin Top" snapped back. The other Twilight paused as she turned around and asked. "What awe tose?" "Muffin Top," adjusted her diaper and explained. "Tey means tat if ya gots guests over, ya suppose to be nice an ya have been quite wude to me since we met." Twilight started to make a fit before plopping on her padded behind and shouted. "Fine! If they ruwes ten, we gots to fowwow tem, I guess!" "Good, now it time to continue your lessons; we weft off at C fow cat!" "Muffin Top" explained as she showed more blocks with letters printed on them toward herself, wondering how these lessons might affect the future. Later that evening, the two Twilights were so engrossed in their lessons they had no idea how late it was and how used their diapers were. "Oh, my goodness!" Twilight Velvet strolled in with her nose wrinkled. "I can't believe how messy those diapers are!" "Muffin Top" squeaked as she noticed the smell and felt so embarrassed for not noticing using her pampers. At the same time, Twilight grumbled to herself about forgetting her "crying schedule." The mares came over to the two foals and took them out to clean their rumps. And as Twilight Velvet did so, she looked at "Muffin Top" and whispered. "This is gonna sound odd, but you look like my daughter. Why is that?" Time Flies walked into the living room; as soon as she overheard what Twilight Velvet said, she quickly responded. "Oh, come now, all foals look the same from a distance!" Twilight Velvet snickered at herself as she then exclaimed. "You're right; I mean, I obviously didn't have twins!" She then lifted both foals with her magic, plopped onto the couch, took out two foal bottles, and plopped them into their mouths. Both Twilights cried out as they suckled down their formula, kicking about in their fresh pampers. Time Flies watched with a smile as she joked. "They do look like twins, don't they?" "Oh, they might be; I've never seen Twilight get along with other foals this well before." Velvet responded, nuzzling both of the cute little fillies. Time Flies laughed. "And it seems like the colts tuckered themselves out too. I found them all sleeping on the floor, so I tucked them in bed." "Oh, thank you, Sweet Bread." Twilight Velvet whispered. Twilight rolled her eyes as "Muffin Top" shrugged while they finished their bottles. Twilight Velvet then took them into Twilight's old nursery. It was quite adorable with little stars and moons printed on the purple walls; there was a changing table in the back of the room with a pink foam top, a small bookshelf full of picture books, and a dollhouse. The older mare then went about tucking the foals in the crib, making sure they had plush animals, plopped pacifiers into their mouths, and watched as they suckled on the rubber bulbs. "Well, I guess I'll leave you with the foals for the night. Thank you for watching them." "Sweat Bread," whispered. "No problem, you and your husband go have fun!" Twilight Velvet exclaimed as Time Flies left (though not before winking at Twilight, who sighed, watching her "mom" leave). Then Twilight Velvet slowly went to the nursery as well. The Twilight from the future laid down with her younger self when the other filly declared. "Ya, a weird foaw, ya know that?" "Muffin Top" gulped as she turned to the baby version of herself. "Wha do ya mean by that?" "Weww ya dun cwy, ya weirded out by ya dirty diapees, ya seem to be very interested in my bwuda, and ya wook wike me….if I wouwd guess ya either my wost twin ow ya an big pony version of me fwom the future." Twilight snapped. "Muffin Top" burst into laughter, "Oh that siwwy, I not fwom ta future! Besides, ya have a cwying schedule and weawning to wead at one, so I would say that isn't nowmaw fow a foaw either. Ya couwd pwobabwy potty train yasewf if ya wanted to." Twilight eyed her fellow foal. "Maybe ya, wight. But I was onwy pwetneding ta wead, ya actuawwy known ya ABCs." "Muffin Top" gulped with sweat pouring down her face. If her past self learned the truth, it could alter her future in ways where she didn't even know what could happen. But just then, a strange-looking unicorn came through the window. "Muffin Top" stood up and saw a silhouette of the unicorn waddle across the room. Baby Twilight got scared, crying out! "What is ta-!" "-Shhh!" Muffin Top laid herself back into the crib, watching the intruder trying to be sneaky, but her diapers crinkle were quite loud. The Twilight from the future whispered, "lay down and stay quiet." "Muffin Top" proceeded to lift herself from the crib and then tackled the intruder, stumbling about as the intruder rose up. Said intruder was a chubby, pink coated filly with a short curly mane and tail. The filly then shouted. "I knew some time cop might twy stopping me, so I came prepared!" She shot magic at past Twilight, and the little filly squeaked as she stumbled onto her padded rump. When she looked around, the little filly spotted blue wallpaper, and there were foam swords and blocks scattered across the nursery. The changing table now had a blue foam cover on it, and the walls were painted with little swords and shields. "Muffin Top" turned to see a familiar white-coated colt tucked in the crib before her. Twilight's jaw dropped upon realizing she had gone further back in time!
