Not So Old Granny
Walking through the Everfree Forest. The CMC were looking for something, Applebloom leading the group through the dangerous forest.
"Applebloom, what exactly are we looking for in here again?" Sweetie Belle asked, looking around nervously at the dark forest like something may jump out at any minute.
"I told you girls already, I'm lookin' for this here flower in Zecora's book I found," Applebloom said pulling the book she borrowed from Zecora out of her saddle bag. Then turning the page, she reached the picture of a red weird looking flower. "says here a pony can feel young again with this flower."
"Wait, what do you need a flower like that for?" Scootaloo asked.
Applebloom bowed her head. "Granny hasn't been feeling well lately. Her hip gets worse and worse by the day. One time she got sick not too long ago she didn't look very good either, she told me not to worry but..."
"But?"
"But one night while I was walking down the hall past Granny's room, I heard her talking to Applejack about how it maybe... it's her time to leave this world." Applebloom said tears starting to show.
"W-What does that mean?" Sweetie asked worriedly.
Applebloom whipped her tears and looked at her friends. "It means, we got to find that flower to help my Granny." she said turning around and continuing to walk on.
"We're looking for a red flower that kinda looks like a star right?" Scoots asked.
"Yeah that's right."
"Like those over there?" Scootaloo pointed over to the side where a patch of the same red flower as in the book.
Applebloom smiled and ran over to the patch until she was a few inches away. "Scoots, why didn't you say something before?"
"You didn't ask."
"Alright put on your gloves, girls, and let's get started."
The three fillies dug into there bags and pulled out there gardening gloves putting them on and then they started digging up the flowers not knowing the true danger of the seemingly harmless plant.

A few hours later, back at Sweet Apple Acres, Granny Smith was sitting on the porch as usual, as passing the day away while her Big Mac and Applejack worked in the fields.
Granny sighed. 'The kids sure are working hard today,' she thought to herself. 'I wish I could help...but with my old bones I probably won't even make it to the other orchard, if only I was a few years younger.'
"Hey Granny."
Granny looks and smiles as she watches her youngest grandchild and her friends run across the yard towards her excitedly. "Hello Applebloom, what do you girls need?"
Applebloom held up the pot of tea she had brought with her from the clubhouse. That had the flower they got from the Everfree Forest mixed in it. "We made you some tea, Granny, want some?" Applebloom said.
"Depends, did Sweetie help?"
"Nope."
"Then I'll be happy to."
Sweetie frowned when she heard that. "Why does everypony hate my cooking?" she said irritated.
"Everything you cook burns to a crisp! You even burned soup once!" Scootaloo retorted.
"Come on, just cause it had a few burned parts doesn't make it bad."
"Caramel once ate your food and he had to get his stomach pumped."
"Could have been something else he ate."
"Onyx cried when you tried feeding him."
While the two fillies fought, Applebloom had hooved a cup of the tea to Granny who started sipping the tea bit by bit until it was all gone. Granny smiles at Applebloom. "Thank ya kindly, Applebloom, that tea was pretty good."
"Thank you, Granny, do you feel any younger?" Applebloom asked leaning in.
"Hmm, nope still feel like the old bag of bones I've always been, why you ask?"
"Uh no reason...you mean you don't feel anything?" Applebloom raised a brow.
"Yep, I feel dandy." Granny replied then she yawned. "Well, I feel in quite tired now, I'll see you girls later." the girls watched as she started walking inside and sighed.
"Aw man, I thought that would work." Applebloom said sadly, turned and walking away.
"Don't worry Applebloom, I bet Granny will be just fine." Sweetie said to comfort her friend.
"I hope you're right Sweetie."
Back in the house, Granny was walking up the stairs, as she walked she felt more and more tired after every step she took. 'Dag gum, I've never felt this tired before.' she thought then sighed. 'You have to face the facts Ana Belle old gal, you're old after escaping death himself for so long soon it may finally be your time.'
Granny walked down the hall and entered her room. Putting on her nightgown she laid down on her bed covering up with her sheets, she yawned as she thought to herself. 'I hope the young'ens be alright once I'm gone, I love those grandkids of mine so much...It would have been nice to see my great grandkids, if only I was younger, I could help AJ and Big Mac in the fields or even play with sweet little Applebloom. Oh well all I can do now is spend as much time as I can before moving on.'
****
Later after all the work was done, Applejack and Big Mac was getting the table set up for dinner, Big Mac was cooking while Applejack set up the table. Then Applebloom came in and sat down at the table.
"Hey Applejack, need any help?" the littlest sibling asked.
Applejack looked up and smiled at her. "Sure little Sis, how about you set the rest these plates while I go and wake up Granny?"
Applebloom nodded and Applejack left leaving her sis to set the rest of the plates while she goes upstairs and get Granny. Applejack opened the door to her room and walked in, she walked towards the bed and started lightly shaking the lump which is no doubt Granny. "Come on Granny, dinner's almost ready." Applejack said shacking the lump under the covers. Then she raised a brow, something didn't seem right to Applejack. 'Is it me or does Granny seem smaller?'
She didn't have time to ponder the question further though, for the covers started to move and they slipped away for what was under them made AJ's eyes grow to the size of dinner plates. Rubbing her eyes from sleep, a little foal with a green coat and white mane fixed up into pigtail, opened her eyes and looked up at Applejack.
"Hey Appwejack, is dinner weady?" Granny asked, stretching out her limps oblivious to her new voice and form.
Applejack was shocked, she couldn't believe this little foal was Granny, but how could she deny it!? The foal had her coat and mane, even her Cutie Mark! "Uh... G-Granny is that really you?" AJ asked still perplexed.
"Well of couwse, I'm youw Gwanny what do you-" she cut off when she realized something was very wrong. "What in Tawnation is wong with my-!? And Appwejack who told you, you can have a growth spuwt without my pewmission?!"
"It's not me who's grown, Granny, You've been shrunk, you're a foal!"
Granny's eyes grew, looking down she gasped as she saw the implication of baby fat she's seen on so many apple babies in the past on her belly. She wondered how this happened to her then her thought's went back to earlier. "Thank you Granny, do you feel any younger?"
"APPLEBWOOM!!"
Hearing her name, Applebloom quickly entered the room and when she saw Granny she raised a brow. "Hey Applejack, who's that little filly?"
"Applebwoom, it's me, your Granny." Granny huffed not liking what she called her.
Applebloom's eyes grew wide. "Granny, that you?!"
"Yes Applebloom, it's Granny... You wouldn't happen to know how this happened to her, would you?" Applejack asked.
"Umm....No."
Granny squinted his eyes. "Appwebloom, tell the twuth." she said in a warning tone.
As cute as it was Granny trying to scowl her with that cute face, Applebloom sighed with guilt "Okay it's my fault... I turned Granny into a foal."
"How?"
Applebloom explained everything, from when she overheard Granny to when she made the tea that did this to Granny. When she was done, Granny was less angry and more sad for her grandchild. "Aww Appwebwoom...come here." Granny said stretching out her hooves to her.
Applebloom's lips quivered a bit, she then runned to her little Granny she hugged her. "I'm sorry Granny, I didn't know this would happen. I just couldn't lose you." Applebloom said tears flowing down.
Granny hugged her neck. "It's otay widdle Bwoom, I undewstand, but what you did was still wrong even if you had good intentions...though you're still getting a spankin' after this."
Applebloom wiped her tears and smiled. "Alright Granny, whatever you say."
Applejack smiles at the adorable scene. Then she hears the door open and looks to see Big Mac standing there with a confused look.
"Umm... Applejack, who's foal is that and why does she look like Granny?"
"I'll tell you when we come down. Could you do me a favor and get Applebloom's old high chair?"
****
After eating, the farmer's were now talking about how to deal with there 'little' problem. Granny (after some persuading) sitting in a high chair as they talked.
"Alright so it's agreed then, that will all watch over Granny until we can find away to change her back." Applejack said, everypony in the room nodded except for Applebloom.
"Does... she really have to change back to normal?"
"Applebloom! You know good and well she does, Granny doesn't want to stay this way forever!" Applejack retorted.
"Actuawwy Appwejack," Granny Smith interrupted, "if Appwebloom wants me to stay this way for a while, I don't mind."
Applejack looked at her shock. "What! Granny, you can't be serious, you don't really want to stay this way do you!?"
"Hmm not really, I would have prefer to be in the age of my prime. But I don't like being old either, at least I have plenty of energy now, I've never felt happiew." she giggled.
"But Granny-"
"AJ."
"Uhh yeah?"
"Could you hoof me my cane?"
"Uh sure." she said before picking it up and hoofing It to her.
"Thank you."
Bonk
"Ow... what was that for!?" Applejack asked rubbing the bump on her head.
"I may be a widdle apple now but I'm still your Gwanny, undewstand!?" Granny scowled.
Applejack sighed. "Yes Granny."
"And that goes for you too, Big Mac."
"Eeyup."
Granny let go of her cane, letting it go to the floor and smiled. "Good now wet's eat...by the way, AJ, you and me awe going to have to have a little talk on what I'm going to eat."
Applejack looked at her brother with a bemused look. "Our life is about to drop go to tartarus, ain't it?"
"Eeyup."
****
After dinner, they set up Applebloom's old crib in Granny's room. She was now laying in the crib thinking about how this will change her life.
'Well looks like I got my wish sorta. I'll be able to help AJ and Big Mac when I'm big enough and my hip feels great and now I can spend more time with my little bloom...and...'
Granny got up onto the rail of the crib and looked out the window like she could see something through the darkness of the night and the orchard. "You can't touch me now, you bag of bones."
Out in the darkness of the orchard, a creature in a black robe was staring at the Apple family house. The only thing that revealed his features was the face of his skull poking out the robe his empty eye sockets glowing red. "You can't escape Death forever Granny Smith someday, YOU WILL BE MINE!" the creature said before disappearing into the night.
Sorry this took so long. I hope you like Granny Smith in Foal Adventures.
Kit: Wow next Apple family reunion is going to be weird.
SS: Yeah I wonder what Granny's old friends gonna say.
Kit: She'll probably laugh but also be a little jealous she'll live longer then her.
Discord: Yeah to bad they cant get the same treatment...or can they?:
SS: Discord what are you thinking? O-o
Discord: Nothing : (Walks of holding regression canon.)
SS: Discord what are you doing with that? >:(
Discord: (Runs off)
SS: DISCORD!!XO

Seems about right
It was either Granny or Big Macintosh.
Granny's lucky the cure didn't resemble the elusive green poison joke. Whatever that does...
That was too cute.
But one thing is getting to me. I have a feeling that Granny isn't the only Apple affected by the red poison joke. I have a hunch of what may happen in future chapters, but I am just speculating at this point.
3642265
If I wanted to I could use it for a clop fic, but I don't roll like that.
3642323 One rolls in the grass, not in Poison Joke.
YAY!!! Granny Smith get younger!!!
And again an AWESOME chapter!
Thats not very nice, Onyx.
(even if its true)
"Old" friends. Funny
CS: I thought you locked that weapon up.
Fair warning i'm getting tired of getting wailed on, if i so much as get a bonk on the head I'm comming after both of you. 
I'm keeping my eyes on you two. (Slowly started to back away.)
SS: I did, nothing should have been able to get it.
CS: Well then i guess Discord is nothing.
Discord: comes to a hault and runs back to CS and SS) Hey what are you two talking about.
CS: Nothing
SS: Yep.
Discord: oh don't give me that i know your talking about me, now what are you two cooking up.
CS: nothing
SS: we're not cooking up anything and talking about nothing.
Discord: Oh no, I know you two to well you're talking about something, and comming up with something to get me a thumping. (Starts to notice CS stairing at him.) What are you stairing at?
CS: Nothing
Discord:
SS: Alright, but if you do something to the foals you know it's out of our hands what the mothers do.
CS: He has a point, and it's not just the one ontop of his head.
SS: HEY!
Discord: ENOUGH!
3642327
I see what you did there.
3642774 My own joke is lost on me...
3636422
I just realized what you wrote, hard past few days.
The post wasn't ment to be sad, this was sort of a limbo post, sort of a little momments between Luna and NM, not really trying to direct the story in any one direction, it's kind of what a parent goes through when they have to get ready to tell their little ones possable some bad news but not really sure. The post is to let the rest of the readers come up with the rest of the story, could be happy could be sad.
I just had this little idea pop into my head when SS mentioned the story could be sad, because i know when a parent has to tell their offspring bad news it's very hard, and they try to prepare them for the bad news.
The readers are the ones i'm letting come up with the rest of the story, good, bad (Discord appears) ugly
Discord: HEY!
Just to say, even though it was good intentions on Apple Blooms part, I don't think a spanking is a good enough punishment, but that's just me.
It's going to be so akward to introduce the young Granny Smith to everyone. But chances are she'll be the best behaved.
3644204
You never know. She might have a few tricks up her sleeve that she can use she's just a foal in her defense. I wonder what Winona has to say to her?
lol death is still waiting. see in the nest 80 year or more.
3644358 Who knows? Probably something along the lines of "When did you get smaller?"
3644378
Maybe, I wonder if Winona might know a thing or two about the red poison joke?
3643197 Which one?
3645773
Excuse me sir is it possible you can translate that to English please or you cant do that?
3646168
yes, yes he did, one of the oldest jokes in known history.
You want to bet, don't you think i have enough on my plate without your help?
(storms off in a huff.)
Discord: oh come on you can't understand that?
SS: no can you?
Discord: Sure i can.
SS: fine what did they say?
Discord: They said. "j'ai pas fini la lecture mais j'espere que vinyl va devenir un bebe et que octavia ou lyra s'en occupera"
CS: walks up and looks at Discord, slightly confused and shocked.) Did he just
SS:
CS: Starts walking away) I'll be back later.
SS: where are you going?
CS: to get flowers.
SS: Flowers?... For what?
CS: for the funeral.
SS: what funeral? who died?
CS: I don't know, i just know some where a comedian just died.
Discord: Oh come on the joke wasn't that bad.
Death: walks up and looks at Discord.)
P.S. I could be wrong on this, but i think with rough translation from what they said really was, something along the lines of turning Vinyl scratch into a foal and have Octavia and Lyra as her parents, again i could be wrong.
3646168 3646341 Not sure in what language he's typed in. Even my good friend; Google Translate is stumped.
From what I could decrypt was something along the lines of Turning Vinyl in to a baby with Octavia and/or Lyra taking care of her. So Crystal Shard hits the bull's eye by default.
3646341>>3647507
Thanks you two that really help.
I'm actually considering doing that idea, though I don't know if I want to do a spin of this story or just put it in here.
3648031 Don't you think this story is already bombarded with enough babies? I was considering saying something along the lines of "This is getting ridiculous." at the amount of babies in the editor's notes as a joke (even though it's kinda somewhat of an appropriate reaction, maybe). All I'm trying to say it's kinda clustered. I'm insulting anything (I feel like I have to say that a lot..)..
A spin-off might be a good choice, but it's your choice in the end.
3646168 I have not finished reading but I hope that vinyl will become a baby or lyra and octavia will handle. Thank you google translate
(*FOR SCIENCE!*)
It was a boring lazy day at Fluttershy’s place, both Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust sat in the only thing they had found some kind of interest in, a staring contest. “I’m not going to blink.” Rainbow said, as she glared at Lightning.
“Nether am I.”
“Then I guess we’re just going to stay like this all day.” Just then Fluttershy walked in and noticed the two foals and rolled her eyes.
“Girls their has to be something better you can be doing then just sitting around glaring at one another.”
“Nope, We’ve already played all are games, and since it’s raining outside we’re stuck, and board.”
“You’re telling me.” Kit said, as he sat upside down on the ceiling.
“Kit? What are you doing here?” Fluttershy asked, as she looked up at Kit and then narrowed her eyes into a scowl. “You’ve your thinking about pranking my little fillies.”
“I come in peace.” Kit said, as he dropped down and landed kneeling next to the two fillies. “Alright you two how about we do a little creative art project?”
“Alright.” Both Fillies smiled, but Fluttershy got a little concerned by what Kit might be up to.
“Great, then we’re going to need a few things.” with that Kit snapped his fingers
{Packing peanuts (The Styrofoam kind.)
Nail polish remover (100% pure acid tone)
Some plastic gloves
Cardboard
And a cheap plastic container.}
“Ah good we have everything we need.” With that Kit smiled and looked at the two Fillies. “Now safety first do this in a well ventilated area.” Kit snapped his fingers and one of the windows of the home opened, while Flutterhy walked up to keep a close eye on Kit, and what he was up to. “Now for the gloves.” Kit put the cloves on and then looked at the two fillies. “How about you two make some molds with the card board, make something you would like to see made into plastic.”
“O.K.” RD and LD started to make molds out of cardboard with the help of Fluttershy, while Kit poured the Nail Polish remover into the plastic container, and then place a hand full of Peanuts in with it, Fluttershy watched as the peanuts slowly melted away leaving a form of goop behind. After repeating this process several times Kit smiled and looked at RD and Ld seeing that their mold had been finished he smiled as he walked over and pulled out the goop and started to fill both molds with it.
“What is that stuff?” RD asked, as she looked at the goop.
“Well this is what’s left after all the air pockets get forced out of those Styrofoam peanuts, it’s kind of like plastic, though don’t touch this with your bare hoof, or hand the Acid tone will burn if you don’t wash it off right away.” with that both Fillies nodded as Fluttershy made sure they kept their distance. “Now then at this point we have to wait.”
“Wait, How long?” LD asked, already getting frustrated at the prospect of having to wait.
“Well normally I would say up to 24 hours, just to make sure this hardens completely.” Both fillies groaned at this only to get Kit to smile slightly. “I did say normally, but lucky for you two little fillies we have a little cheat.” with that Kit snapped his fingers and the goop hardened instantly. “Now then, you can decorate your little creations.” with that hands the two newly formed plastic items to RD and Ld. “Have fun you two.” Watches as the two fillies run over to their crayons and started to decorate. As kit snapped his fingers again all the items where cleaned up and Fluttershy smiled as she looked at him.
“That was very nice of you.”
“It was nothing, just a minor simple house hold items.”
“But you didn’t have to do it, and I was just wondering why you did?” Kit looked at Fluttershy for a moment and then shrugged slightly.
“I don’t know, I just felt like having some fun and getting a few smiles not at some one else’s expense.”
“Well that was very sweet.” with that Fluttershy kiss Kit on the cheek getting him to blush slightly, just before he vanished into thin air.”
*****************************************************************************
You can do the same little trick at home if you wish, but you will have to wait for your creations to harden.
WARNING!!!!!
Do not try to put this in the microwave or oven to speed up the hardening process, It won’t harden right in the oven, and tossing any acid tone into a microwave is just a bad idea.
WARNING!!!!
If your wondering why the peanuts melt it’s because both the acid tone and Styrofoam are non-polar substances, the acid tone loosens the molecules in the packing peanuts and this pushes all the air from the inside.
Now this trick should work with Styrofoam cups, and with a bit of food coloring you can make some interesting decorations.

That's cool and just in time for the holiday.
3651482
Yeah figured i would give are readers an idea on what to do with those things since the post office uses alot of them.
at least she still seems to have her elder mindset. Bonking AJ kinda proved that.
I loved the last two paragraphs of this chapter.
I wonder how the others are going to respond to this? I wonder what AJ's reaction will be when she finds out how the foals are fed? I wonder when, and by whom, will Applebloom get her spanking?
Take that death! MWAHAHAHA
*feels a cold chill*
He's right behind me isn't he?
*turns around*
Death: I'm not here for you. Just tell Super Stallion that I will not stand being cheated.
Why are you letting me warn him?
Death: I like the chase. Most of the beings I take can't move.
okay, just reading the title told me what will happen and i honestly don't know whether to worry or laugh my ass off
