All of the infants; including Flurry Heart, are back into the bedroom of Flurry Heart; along with Sombra accompanying them because of one reason; punishment time.
“Alright”, he began. “Since you little gremlins have clearly caused some trouble; what punishment do you think you guys deserve? Because clearly, I’m a villain; and only villains are allowed to cause trouble; okay?” The infants all nodded their heads and waited for Sombra to continue.
“So... what do you guys want as punishment?” Flurry Heart starts to look sad, then says, “me sowwy baba. Me wan two have fun.” Sombra sighs, then says, “I guess so. But because of that; not only did you make a mess with the others, you also spoiled your meal. How does that feel?” Flurry Heart crosses her forehooves behind her back, and shuffles her backhooves in shame with a blush; “not gwood.” Sombra nodded, then says, “that’s what I figured.” With that, Flurry then asks, “c-can me have miwkies again? M-me stiww hungwy.” Sombra sighs again, then says, “okay. But next time, finish your bottle. Or at least let me know if you’re full. And if you’re gonna play, then do it after you’re done with your bottle; got it?” Flurry Heart whined and frowned, then says; “got it”, before walking to Sombra with tears streaming from her eyes. Sombra then picks up Flurry Heart, wipes her tears away, then says whilst giving Flurry Heart her bottle; “hey hey, relax. No need to cry now, okay? You’re not in too much trouble; alright?” Flurry Heart sniffled, then says; “o-owkay baba”, before proceeding to feed on the bottle that Sombra is holding for her.
After a few minutes, Flurry Heart is now fully done with her bottle, but is still sniffling quite a bit since she’s still recovering from crying. Also her nose is still stuffed too from snot developing in her nose when she was crying. “Okay”, Sombra began. “Since Flurry Heart seems to have learned her lesson, what do you guys think that your punishment should be? Flurry Heart wasted a good milk bottle that was supposed to be her lunch; so I think that it counts as punishment enough for her. How about you guys? What’s y’all’s punishment gonna be? Any takers?” All of the infants except Flurry Heart are thinking of what could be a good punishment for them. Unfortunately, they came to a loss and shrugged.
After a few minutes, Pinkie Pie raises her hoof reluctantly, and asks, “are you going to give us spankies?” Sombra looks at Pinkie, then says, “you sure about that? That’ll hurt a lot; trust me.” Twilight then reluctantly asks, “how come?” Sombra blushes a bit due to the fact that he doesn’t want them to find out, but then says, “well... let’s just say that by the time we were done with this one stallion for being a thief, he wasn’t able to sit down, or even go to the bathroom after that.” All of the infants were shocked, and so Sombra continues by saying; “So to put it bluntly; it was used as a punishment to gain information on his thieving pals so that way me and my shadow guards could put a stop to it. And soon after that, we spanked him some more afterwards, and then he was released. So basically.... yeah. You really don’t want that; trust me; okay?” All of the infants nodded, and waited for Sombra to continue.
After a few more minutes, he just sighs and says, “you know what?... how about I just punish y’all by making y’all go to sleep early.... is that okay?” All of the infants shook their heads no, and started whining. Sombra smiles and shook his head while saying; “well; since y’all don’t want that as your punishment, then basically that’s y’all’s punishment; okay?” All of the infants said no, then Pinkie Pie said, “couldn’t we do something else? Like maybe over feeding? Or wearing embarrassing clothes?” Sombra thought for a minute, but then shook his head no, and stated; “maybe; those would be good punishments, but the answer is still no. We can’t do those because: A. Over feeding y’all would be a little too far. And B. Flurry Heart doesn’t even have that many clothes that can fit y’all anymore. And not to mention that she’s a little older than y’all, and you guys are younger; understand? So I don’t think that would’ve worked out; alright?”
All of the infants nodded, then Pinkie says, “but couldn’t we?...”. However; she was interrupted by King Sombra putting a hoof to her mouth, and says; “again Pinkie; no. Now; if you or your pals complain one last time, then I’ll make it worse by making y’all sleep in the broom closet, or even the kitchen for the night; got it?” Pinkie was gonna speak again, but then whined, and nodded in agreement. “Owkay”, said Pinkie, before she and the others went to bed on Flurry Heart’s bed.
But; before the punishment was carried out, Flurry Heart was picked up by King Sombra, and he asks; “hang on now. You’ve already been punished; right?” Flurry Heart nodded her head, and then Sombra continues; “So why’re you going to bed with them? You’re already punished enough; remember? So why’re you doing this?” Flurry Heart whined for a little bit, and then says, “but me stiww bad. And... I no wanna be bad no more... evewr.” Sombra sighs, and then says, “you’re not bad anymore; okay? Don’t say that anymore; got it? You’re not a villain anymore. It’s gonna be fine; I promise.” Sombra then got up, and says, “now then; let’s go explore the castle. And maybe later we’ll come back and check on them; okay? I’m sure they’ll be fine; alright?” Flurry Heart was gonna say; “but wat if?...” but she was cutted off by King Sombra before she could finish her sentence. And then Sombra says, “but nothing, okay? They’ll be fine, I promise; alright? And if not, I’ll fix it; okay?” Flurry Heart thought for a minute, then says, “okay den. Awight”, before frowning and looking down at the ground. Sombra sighs again, and then says, “let’s get out of here”, before starting to leave the room with Flurry Heart.
But before he can really leave, Pinkie rose up, then asked; “wait; can’t we have some water first; please?” Sombra sighs, and then says, “I already gave each of y’all a baby bottle filled with water for y’all on each side of the bed to drink from in case y’all are thirsty. Now pipe down and go to bed. I’ll check on y’all in five more minutes.” Pinkie Pie got a bit anxious, and then starts asking; “wait, but can’t we?...” but Sombra already left without her finishing her sentence.
With Sombra out of the room; Pinkie began to whine, and starts to cover herself up with the blanket that she and her friends are sharing for the night. Before Pinkie could begin crying, Twilight nudged her, and then says, “hey, it’s okay now. Once we get through with this punishment, I’m sure that he’ll reward us for it; okay? So there’s no need to worry; I’m sure we’ll get through with this eventually; I promise; alright?” Pinkie nodded with a slight whine, and then says, “owkay”, before turning to fall asleep. Applejack turned to Twilight, and then she whispers, “you sure about that? I mean; knowing King Sombra; I’d bet that he would check on us after a little more longer; don’t you think?” Twilight whispers back, “yeah, maybe. But I don’t want Pinkie to feel sad. Last thing we need is a worser punishment; alright?” Applejack sighed, and then said, “I hope so. Because this is gonna be a long night...”.
