Fluttershy is searching for Twilight in Mrs. Cheerilee's 9th-grade classroom when she suddenly hears a loud beam of sound or something, and then she heard crying. So, Fluttershy got out of the classroom and slowly walked toward the sounds that she was hearing. But when she jumped out and near the hallway that she heard a noise come from, she saw nothing, absolutely nothing.

Fluttershy sighed and began walking to another classroom when, in the corner of her eyes, saw something that was orange-gold and purple. She decided to walk towards the objects, even though her mind told her no. She then bent down and proceeded to pick it up, but then saw herself in almost darkness, the lights flickering for a short second. Fluttershy's brain told her this situation was a danger zone, and she was about to go when she heard a loud, unsettling, evil, fit of laughter in the dark hallway. That's when Fluttershy snapped and turned and ran away. But a beam of dark magic caught her before she could run. So, Fluttershy ended up screaming. As she was starting to regress, she got quieter and quieter. Then she was finally a baby in a heap of clothes and started wailing loudly. But while crying, she didn't notice the tall figure coming and taking her geode necklace of fauna along with Twilight and Sunset Shimmer's. And the heap of clothes was taken off of her, revealing her diaper.

Then the dark figure walked back into the shadows of the hallway, not getting caught as Spike ran down the hall towards Fluttershy. Spike took Fluttershy with her diaper and ran towards the daycare, dragging Fluttershy behind him.

Once he was at the entrance door outside, he started to paw at the door, waiting for Celestia or Luna to open the door for him. Once he started whining, someone came to the door. Finally, Vice Principal Luna opened the door for Spike and Baby Fluttershy, who was picked up and gently rocked so that she would calm down. She was crying even louder than Sunset Shimmer was. Luna then fixed her a bottle, put it in her mouth, and made her suckle. She also hummed a little tune for her.

Fluttershy was cradled as she suckled from the baby bottle, which rewarded her with sweet, delicious milk. Fluttershy drank at a walking pace, not too slow, and not too fast. Then, she opened her eyes and saw no more milk in the bottle, so she let Luna take the bottle out and replaced it with a pacifier, Luna burped her, but she made no sounds over the suckling noises she made with her pacifier. The pacifier was the color rose.

Luna cradled her before gently, placing her in the playpen where Sunset Shimmer and Twilight were, letting her sleep in peace.

She closed the playpen gate and quietly walked toward her elder sister, Celestia.

"Aren't they just adorable!" Luna cooed quietly to her sister.

"Yes, they sure are. They're like our little angels." Celestia replied, looking at the three cute sleeping babies.

"Hmm, Sister, are the cribs here yet?" Luna asked, looking outside to see.

"No, not yet. They will probably arrive during the night." Celestia answered.

"But it said that it would be delivered later in the afternoon." asked a disappointed Luna.

"No. You read it wrong. It said Tonight." Celestia said.

"Oh. Must have been all of those...video games," said Luna, looking as though she could go to sleep as well.

Celestia looked at Luna as though she was crazy. But she remained silent until Spike lay down on top of her feet.

"Can I- *yawns* go take a nap," asked Spike, drifting off to sleep while asking.

Celestia didn't answer since she already knew that he was fast asleep.

"So, what should we do?" asked Luna, looking at Celestia's tired eyes.

"Maybe we should also- *yawns* go to sleep," said Celestia, closing her eyes.

"Yes, you can, sister. I will stay up a bit longer," she said. She did enjoy the night after all and she usually played until five in the morning. So staying up a bit longer wouldn't hurt...right?

"I'll stay up just in case the delivery guy comes," Luna said as she looked out the daycare window.

Celestia's response was a loud snore. At least it didn't wake the babies up that would've been a nightmare.
