Rainbow Dash and Spitfire awoke in their cribs a few hours later, and saw that it almost sundown. They needed to make up to Twilight some way after the heinous act that they pulled on Spike, and they thought they had better do it before the sun sets, so that they had time to join Fleetfoot and Soarin in Twilight's foalroom.
The two of them looked at each other and immediately thought of a brilliant idea at the same time. They climbed out of their cribs and gently dropped onto the padded floor below. Once they were on the floor, they had felt that their flanks were a little heavier than usual. Fearing the worst, they looked at their diapers, and aw that they had messed themselves in their sleep.
They knew that they couldn't change themselves, and that this mess would distract them. They lied down on their sides, feeling quite weak and powerless and whimpered to themselves in foalish language. After a while, their whimpers eventually evolved into fits of crying, and soon, the two pegasi were crying.
They had every right to cry, Twilight wasn't there, they couldn't do anything. And they felt sorry for they had done. Eventually, their cries were lessened once they were lifted into the air by a familiar figure.
Twilight had seen it all, and now felt sorry for leaving Spitfire and Dash all alone, and unable to care for themselves. She merely smiled at the crying foals and laid them down on the changing table, so that they could let it all out.
"Good afternoon, girls." Twilight smiled as she began to change the now calm foals. This notion got Spitfire and Dashie to turn their expressions into happy faces, a sign of relief now that Twilight was starting to care for them.
"Mama, we'we sowwy fow huwting Spike." Dashie said as she and Spitfire were set down onto powdered diapers. By the looks on their faces, they weren't lying. "Pwease dun huwt us again." She said, whimpering at the fact that she recalled that memory.
"I won't hurt you two again, provided you can behave better around him." Twilight said as she finished affixing the ends of the diapers together, to make them snug around the waists of Dashie and Spitfire. "The same applies for your brother and sister."
"We pwomise." Spitfire said, yielding to Twilight's request.
"That's good to hear." Twilight said as she set Spitfire and Dashie down onto the floor once they were done. "And if you're well behaved, there might be a 'surprise' for you two..."
"A suwpwise?!" Dashie looked surprised already. Knowing her foalish self, she couldn't resist surprises. "Wat is it, Mama?"
"Silly filly. If she told you, it wouldn't be a surprise now, would it?" Said Pinkie Pie, as she appeared from right behind Twilight. Looking down at Dashie, she look flabbergasted once she came to the realization. "Wait, Dashie? What happened to you?"
"Twust me, Pinkie. It's a wong and bowing stowy." Dash smiled as she was lifted up by Pinkie. "You wouwdn't be abwe ta pay attention."
"Oh, OK." Pinkie said as she turned to face Twilight, who took back Dashie and placed her back with Spitfire.
"What are you here for, Pinkie?" Twilight asked Pinkie once Spitfire and Dashie were back together again.
"Oh, nothing much. I was just looking for Rainbow Dash before I came here today." Pinkie said, looking calm and collected now. "However, it turns out my search is at an end, and that sweet little Dashie is a foal again."
"And you'we fine wid dis, Pinkie?" Dashie asked Pinkie as she looked up at the pink mare with a little concern showing on her face.
"Oh sure." Pinkie said, with an odd smile starting to show. It was a smile that Dash had never seen on Pinkie before. A smile of acceptance. "I've seen many ponies who got turned into foals recently. There was Roseluck, Derpy, Octavia..."
"Is she always like dis, Mama?" Spitfire tugged at Twilight's tail to grab her attention.
"Huh?" She turned to face Spitfire. "Oh, yeah. This is usually Pinkie being Pinkie. Nothing to worry about." Twilight then grew a smile as she lifted Spitfire up onto her back. "It's also pretty funny once you get to know her."
"...And I think the most recent case of foaldom was Babs Seed. I saw a LOT of things in Manehatten." Pinkie finally took in a big gasp of air after she had stopped. "Well, it was nice to see you again, Twilight. You too, Dashie."
"You're going already?" Twilight looked a little down that Pinkie was about to exit the library so soon.
"Yeah, I've got a LOT of work to do, both for the Cakes and for my own career." Pinkie said as she went down the stairs towards the door. "See you soon, Twilight!" She darted out the door gleefully.
"Alright, girls. I'll leave you alone for now." Twilight said as she sat the two of them down at a drawing table. "Hopefully you can find some way to apologize to Spike before I come back." Then she went down the stairs.
Dashie and Spitfire looked down upon the table and immediately saw the paper canvases they could colour on. They were complimented by an arrangement of every colour a foal could ask for in one box.
At first, they were going to let their imaginations run wild, but that changed when Spitfire noticed Dashie was drawing something other than a picture, and more of an apology.
"Now's da time." Dashie said as she calmly and slowly crafted an apology picture for Spike. She made sure not to mess up her drawing by moving quite slowly, so that she was pinpoint accurate with what she was going to do.
"Yoo making an apology fow Spike?" Spitfire looked closer at the picture, and saw that it looked very apologetic.
"Yeah." Dashie decided to accept the fact that she didn't like being a prankster anymore. "I dun know about yoo, but I dun wanna be punished by Mama again." Dashie looked a little downhearted as she continued with her picture. "I just wanted ta have a wittwe fun wid him, not mowtawwy wound him."
"Yoo know wat? You'we wight, Dashie." Spitfire shot a smile for Dashie and began to draw another picture, that was similar to Dashie's. "Dis'll get us back on Mama's good side..."
"Hehe, mission accomplished!" Fleetfoot said as she and Soarin looked back at their foalroom once Twilight picked them up and began to take them out of it.
"Good work, you two." Twilight complimented on the two pegasus foals as she took them back up out of the basement and up to the room again. "Let's get you something to eat before bed."
Twilight shut the door behind her, then locked the front door and turned the library's new sign to "Closed for the night, come back tomorrow." before heading back up to her room with the foals clinging onto her neck for support.
Once Twilight made it back into her bedroom, she saw Spitfire and Dashie were carrying pieces of paper in their mouths and were crawling over to Spike, who looked a little better now.
"We'we sowwy, Spike." Spitfire said as she gave Spike her picture and waited for him to pick it up. Yet it was quite hard for him, as his hand was still a little numb from the impact of that anvil. "I hope yoo can fowgive us."
"It's OK, girls." Spike said, still in pain from his injuries. "I've been through worse. I'm glad you've apologized for it."
"I just hope Mama fowgives us." Dashie said to herself before looking behind her. She had noticed Twilight had seen everything, and was now looking at the foals and their apology pictures with a smile.
"I already have." She smiled and picked the two of them up so that they could see Fleetfoot and Soarin again, who were now looking at Dashie and Spitfire with smiles as well. "I'm so glad you apologized to Spike."
"Weawwy?" Dashie asked once she and Twilight exchanged glances.
"Really. In fact, I think you two deserve a reward for your apologies." Twilight downed two of the yellow pills she had acquired from Dashie's house and then laid herself down on her side. She revealed her teats and pulled Rainbow Dash into them, so that she could drink from Twilight's heavenly breast milk
Once she was done nursing Dashie, Twilight took the special milk that Zecora made, warmed it up with a little spell and then poured the contents into three bottles. Once she reapplied the nipples of the bottles, she gave them to Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot, so they could drink their fill.
Twilight burped Dashie whilst the three Wonderbolt foals drank, electing a laugh once Dashie burped in her face. She then tickled Dashie, causing her to laugh hysterically. This kept going until the Wonderbolt foals finished their drinks.
Once Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot finished, they too were burped by Twilight, however, instead of being tickled, they all had raspberries blown onto them, causing them to squeal with laughter as the ticklish vibrations from the raspberries spread around their bellies.
Once the four of them had calmed down, Twilight carried them into their cribs, tucked them in, gave them their pacifiers and sang them another lullaby, this one more soothing than the last.
Sleep tight, my sweethearts.
Let all those fears and tears depart.
Goodnight, Luna will guide you tonight.
You'll see soon even if not now, that she's a dreamer's delight.
The sun has set nooooooow.
For me to sing soooooounds.
Of your slumber,
nothing hinders
A sleeping foal's mind,
the dreams are alllllways so kind.
It's time for this day to part.
When I wake you, a brand new day will start.
For you and for everyone.
But for now the things in this day are done.
Reeeeeest yourseeeeeeeeelves.
Nothing scares you
when you're restful.
Then, the next day, we'll sing:
What will it briiiiiiiing?
This song was very relaxing for the foals, and they failed to resist how soothing the lyrics and tone was. They fell asleep and were now snoring cutely, letting Luna carry themselves off into their dreams.
"Sleep tight, everyone." Twilight kissed each of the sleeping foals on their foreheads, doing it very gently, so as not to wake them up again. Then she moved over to Spike and saw he was asleep as well. "Aaw, goodnight, Spike." She said, kissing him in a part that wasn't damaged.
Twilight then flew up to her bed, snuggled into the star-lined blankets, laid her head onto the fluffy pillow and was lost in her dreams as well. Soon, all was quiet in the Golden Oaks Library, and this would no doubt remain this way, until tomorrow.
