Chapter 1.
“Preparations and Confessions.”
It had been about a week since Mr. and Mrs. Cake had set up the date with Twilight to turn into foals. It was early in the morning at Sugarcube Corner, as they were looking over the foal items they’d bought, spread out all over the table.The items were arranged from terry cloth diapers, to toys, and even pacifiers. Mrs.Cake kissed her husband on the cheek and said, “Looks like we have everything we need.”
Mr. Cake nodded his head as Mrs. Cake rolled her eyes “Here he goes again.”
Realizing her husband was trembling, Mrs. Cake sighed, “You’ve been like this ever since our meeting with Twilight.”
Mr. Cake apologized, “I’m sorry, bu-“
Mrs. Cake looked at him questionably and asked, “But what?”
Mr. Cake lowered his gaze and whispered, “Well, you know I’m not the most courageous stallion. I’m just scared what my children really think of me.”
Mrs. Cake became a bit remorseful, “Honey, they’re foals. All they could think of you, is how much of a loving father you are to them.”
Mr. Cake looked up and said, “Ever since we had them you’ve been with them more than I. I mean they could hate me or worse, they won’t even know who I am.”
Mrs. Cake hugged her husband then kissed him, “I doubt that.” she reassured him
Mr. Cake hugged her back and nuzzled her mane a bit as his wife replied, “Twilight will be here soon, I’m going to take a shower and freshen up,” Mr. Cake nodded as she then turned and reminds her husband, “Oh, remember, don’t eat or drink anything.” Mr. Cake just nodded again and as she climbed the stairs.
Just then Pinkie Pie came bouncing down shouting “Morning!”
Mr. Cake whispered, “morning pinkie, but whisper the twins are still asleep.”
Pinkie Pie sheepishly smiled and whispered, “sorry.”
Mr. Cake looked around as if he was making sure the place was empty, then he leaned next to Pinkie’s ear and whispered, “Can you keep a secret?”
Pinkie Pie whispered in reply, “Oh, a secret?” Mr. Cake nodded his head rapidly as Pinkie Pie laughed, “Sure, I can keep a secret. I can even ‘Pinkie Promise’ if you want.”
Mr. Cake blushed as he lowered his head and mumbled, “Pinkie Pie you know how the twins can sometimes get riled up and cause all sorts of trouble?” Pinkie Pie slowly nodded as he continued, “From what my own mother told me, I was just as bad as a foal.”
Pinkie Pie’s eyes went wide as she started to have flashbacks of her first time foal sitting then nearly shouted, “How can you keep that a secret?!”
Mr. Cake replied, “Listen, to keep me under control…my mom would give me a special toy, and I still have it, somewhere. Just, whenever you see me getting fussy, give me my toy, okay?”
Pinkie Pie calmed down, then she eyed her soon to be foalified friend and asked, “Wait a second, why is that such a secret?”
Mr. Cake nervously replied, “I think the twins get all their mischievous behavior from my side of the family, and I’ve been too embarrassed to say it out loud.”
“That’s what you’ve been so nervous about”, you’re worried you’ll be as bad as the twins,” Pinkie realized. “But why haven’t you told Mrs. Cake about this?
Mr. Cake muttered, “I don’t want her to think less of me.”
“Oh come on, really?” Pinkie asked. “I’m sure Mrs. Cake had her fair share of mischief as a foal. Heck, Mom and Dad say I was a major hoofful for them, even though I was their third child. Babies are always mischievous, it’s how they are. And do you really think that Mrs. Cake will stop loving you, just because you’re a mischievous foal?”
Mr. Cake blushed, “I don’t know. It wasn’t something that crossed my mind until now. Maybe she won’t, but she’s been really looking forward to this, and I don’t want her to have second thoughts just because of me.”
Pinkie Pie replied, “Fine I’ll keep your ‘secret’.”
Mrs. Cake came back downstairs a short time later. She smiled and hugged Pinkie Pie as she whispered, “Good morning.”
“Morning.” Pinkie Pie whispered in reply.
Mrs. Cake released Pinkie Pie and with a light smile whispered,.“I want you to know how thankful I am for you agreeing to help me do this. Now I’ll get to see how good of a foalsitter you really are.”
Pinkie Pie blushed, “It’s no problem. It’ll be just like looking after the twins, except with two more foals. I’m sure my friends and I can keep everything under control.“
Mr. Cake nervously stammered, “Uh, I’m going to... get... something... from upstairs.” He hastily went upstairs, just as there was a knock on the door.
Mrs. Cake opened the door and greeted Rarity, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle, as they came through the door in that order.
Pinkie Pie bounced up to them, “Morning every!-” she shouted.
Mrs. Cake hushed Pinkie, whispering, “Keep it down, you don’t want to wake the twins.”
Pinkie Pie blushed again and whispered, “Morning.”
Rarity hugged Pinkie and greeted her, “Morning, darling. Always nice to see you. I must say, I’m actually looking forward to this experience. It’ll be great to get some experience, that way I’ll be ready when I have foals of my own someday.”
Twilight hugged Pinkie too, as did Fluttershy who came from behind. Then they broke the pile and turned to Mrs. Cake as Twilight asked, “Mrs. Cake would you mind if I asked for some coffee?”
Mrs. Cake turned her head and lovingly replied, “I don’t mind at all, Rarity, Fluttershy, do you need anything?”
Rarity smiled and replied, “Some herbal tea is fine, no sugar or honey please.”
Fluttershy whispered, “I’ll have the same as Rarity, if you don’t mind.”
Mrs. Cake bowed her head and said to them, “It’s no problem at all.’
As Mrs. Cake went to make their beverages, Mr. Cake came down from upstairs. In his mouth was a yellow stuffed bear with two black buttons for eyes,, and a red bow tie. He gave it to Pinkie Pie who held it up curiously, as he blushed and said, “That’s Mr. Snuggles.”
Rarity and Twilight held their mouths as they stifled their giggling, but Pinkie Pie laughed a bit. Even Fluttershy smiled at the bear and cooed. “That’s adorable.”
Mr. Cake, feeling a bit prideful replied, “He was a present from my grandmother on my first birthday. He was the first friend I ever had.”
Twilight nodded her head then blushed, “Well you all know about Smarty Pant,s can’t say that I’m proud of keeping her for so long either.”
Mr. Cake felt a bit more confident, remembering the incident when Twilight made half the town go crazy over the doll.
Rarity looked at Twilight with a smug grin curiously replied, “Didn’t you say it went missing?”
Twilight frowned, realizing that fact and muttered, “As a matter of fact it did. “
Fluttershy blushed and whispered something; Rarity turned to her and asked, “What was that Fluttershy?”
Fluttershy whispered, “Well…um…you know Big Macintosh?”
Rarity in a worried tone asked, “Big Macintosh? What about him?”
Fluttershy gaze dropped and whispered, “Well...”
Twilight who also became curious asked, “Well what?”
Pinkie Pie bounced up to her and asked, “Come on, we’ll keep it a secret, you can trust us.”
Fluttershy looked at her friends and replied , “Um …well…he came by my hut before and he …um …confessed it…to me that he likes sleeping with it.”
Pinkie Pie fell to the floor laughing as Rarity turned her head, realizing the tough looking stallion she knew liked sleeping with a doll (and she couldn’t help but blush at how adorable he must look with it).
Twilight was a bit surprised asked, “Does Applejack know?’
Fluttershy shook her head, “Maybe she did after that Gabby Gums incident.. but he’s too embarrassed to tell any other pony.”
Pinkie Pie got up, “Hey, I’ve got an idea,” she said with a grin “After this, maybe we should turn him into a foal. We’ll have to come up with a new name for him though, ‘cause he won’t much of a Big Mac anymore.”
Mrs. Cake came back with a tray of three mugs. As everyone sat around one of the tables, Mrs. Cake handed out the mugs to each pony who had requested a drink.
Pinkie Pie held up the yellow bear she’d been given and asked, “Mrs. Cake, did you know your hubby still has a stuffed animal?”
Mrs. Cake looked at the toy curiously, she then looked back at her husband and asked, “Honey, is this really yours?”
Mr. Cake’s face became a deep red as he mumbled, “As a foal, I always napped with Mr. Snuggles. It took me forever to fall asleep without him.” Mrs. Cake chuckled and then hugged him, and he let her head fall on his shoulders lovingly.
Pinkie Pie smiled at the scene and replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Snuggles will be with you, I’ll make sure of that.” She winked at Mr. Cake as he nodded back.
Mrs. Cake got up as Twilight then took the mug of coffee with her telekinesis. As she sipped it she yawned a bit, “I’m still a bit tired, but I’ll soon be ready to go.” she told The Cakes.
Mrs. Cake then said, “So I guess we’ll do it when the caffeine kicks in.”
Twilight nodded and continued to drink the coffee, she then placed the mug down, sheepishly grinned, and confessed, “I was actually up all night preparing myself, a dumb move on my part.”
Rarity took a sip of her tea and placed it on the table as she looked at the couple and asked, “So before we turn you into foals, I would like to ask a favor of my own.”
Mrs. Cake replied, “Sure what is it?”
Rarity dug into her saddlebag, then brought out some foal clothes as she continued, “Remember when I asked for your measurements? Well, I made some foal clothes based on your estimated height and weight as foals. I thought it would be darling,, to dress you two up with your own children. Don’t worry, the clothes won’t cost you anything, this is just a little side project I did for the fun of it.”
Mr. Cake groaned, as Mrs. Cake chuckled at the thought and and replied, “Of course, we’ll have no problem with that. And we’ll try our best not to get them messy.”
Fluttershy drank her tea silently and mumbled, “I um actually wanted to ask…how do you two want to be fed?”
Mrs. Cake asked sweetly, “WWhat do you mean we bought extra foal food already?”
Fluttershy blushed and hid her face behind her wings.
Rarity approached Fluttershy, and the two whispered for a while. Rarity nodded as she sat back down in her chair. After taking a long sip from her tea, she then blushed and with a sheepish smile replied, “What Fluttershy wants to ask if you two would prefer to be breast fed while you’re foals?”
Mrs. Cake tried her hardest not to blush, “Well I have to admit I do still breast fed my own once in awhile. “
Twilight interrupted with concern, “Wait…Fluttershy, unless you have foals of your own I don’t think you can-”
Fluttershy whispered, “Well…I bought some pills that will help with that …just in case.”
Mr. Cake coughed as Mrs. Cake turned to her husband and whispered, “You know what, it’s fine with me, if it’s okay with you? honey bun”
Mr. Cake whispered, “You sure? I mean, I don’t mind it.”
Mrs. Cake wife whispered back, “As long as you don’t get any ideas afterwards.”
Mr. Cake whimpered, “I would never…”
Mrs. Cake hugged her husband again and whispered in his ear, “You still can’t take a joke.”
Mr. Cake sighed, “I’m wondering if she was going to ask herself.” he thought. But he nodded his head, as does Mrs. Cake who said, “We’re both fine with it, but limit to the mornings before the twins are up. Don't want them getting jealous.”
Fluttershy placed the mug down on the table. She smiled happily and said, “Alright, I’ll only nurse you two in the mornings.”
Twilight, feeling a bit awkward, was more awake as she finished her coffee and asked, “Well, looks like we got everything ready and I’m awake now. Are you two ready to do this?”
Mr. Cake looked at his wife the two kiss for a moment. Then as they separated then Mrs. Cake nodded and said eagerly, “We’re ready.!
Twilight then lead the two upstairs, with her friends following close behind. They entered The Cakes bedroom, where Pinkie took out a foal blanket decorated in cute yellow ducks on a blue field.
Pinkie placed the blanket onto the floor, and then placed one on the left. It was a pink one with white bunnies. Mrs. Cake sat on the pink and Mr. Cake on the Blue, then Pinkie Pie smiled at the two and whispered, “See you two soon.”
As Pinkie Pie bounced out of the room, Mrs. Cake whispered, “Honey, thank you for doing this. I know you're doing it for me.”
Mr. Cake held her left hoof and replied, “It doesn’t matter what I like. Whatever makes you happy makes me happy.”
Mrs. Cake was going to give him another kiss but Twilight interrupted, “Alright I’m going to need you two to stand still.”
Mrs. Cake turned her gaze back at Twilight as did Mr. Cake who thought, “Thanks for ruining the moment”.
Twilight planted herself on the wooden floor and concentrated her horn at the couple. She had to close her eyes from the strain as her horn glowed and tendrils of magic wrapped themselves around the two earth ponies. Then a white flash engulfed the room.
