The Decision
It wasn't easy raising a filly, let alone an orphaned one, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash knew that. They knew that while the Ponyville Orphange wasn't all bad, it certainly couldn't take the place of a loving family. So it was only natural that they'd agreed to adopt Scootaloo soon after getting married. It just seemed like the right thing to do.
The news of their marriage had caused quite a bit of confusion for Scootaloo at first, seeing as she'd thought marriage could only be between a stallion and a mare. But once she'd gotten use to having two mothers, she seemed to be as happy as was possible.
But lately, things were not going so well for the young couple. Scootaloo had been getting into a lot of trouble at school, and both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had been called into the principal's office more times than they could remember. It had all started when Scootaloo punched Diamond Tiara, after the rich filly had made fun of her potential inability to fly. Before long, Scootaloo was picking fights with several classmates. Many of whom were her friends, or at the very least had never teased her.
This time however, Scootaloo had really gone too far. Not only had she given Silver Spoon a swirly (causing the filly to lose her glasses), but she'd also been caught trying to ride Diamond Tiara like a skateboard after school. Luckily, Cheerilee had put a stop to it before Diamond Tiara could be seriously hurt (though Diamond Tiara was still fuming afterwards and vowed to get even, somehow). And so it was that Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were having yet another after school talk with Cheerilee about Scootaloo's behavior.
"I know Diamond Tiara isn't exactly the nicest filly you've ever met, but that still doesn't mean Scootaloo's behavior is excuseable." Cheerilee said firmly "If I hadn't arrived when I did, Diamond Tiara could've ended up in the hospital, or worse."
"Thank goodness that didn't happen." Fluttershy replied "I just don't know what has gotten into our little angel. She use to be a lot nicer."
"Yeah, she's barely even talking to me. And she won't tell me why." Rainbow Dash added "I get that she likes to keep things to herself, but this isn't like her. There's got to be something that's making her do all of this. I just wish we knew what that something is. And why she won't tell us."
"Seeing as nopony got hurt, I'll put in a good word for you two with the school board." Cheerilee explained "But if this keeps up you might have to answer to the child protection services. And I don't think they'll be as forgiving as I have been."
This made Fluttershy very sad. She had wanted a filly more than anything, and she knew was a good parent. She knew Rainbow Dash was a good parent as well. She couldn't bear the thought of having Scootaloo taken away from them. Fluttershy buried her head into her wife's lap and sobbed.
Rainbow Dash lightly stroked Fluttershy's mane, and spoke kindly to her to calm her down. "Any ideas on how we can fix this?" she asked Cheerilee.
"I'm afraid I can't help you very much right now." Cheerilee said glumly "Why don't you try talking to Twilight? She's more of an expert on that sort of thing. Besides, the library will probably have some books on child raising. For right now though, I've got to finish filing this report."
Taking Cheerilee's advice, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash payed a visit to their friend Twilight. Or "Princess Twilight" as some of their friends called her. It was still odd to think that she use to just be a unicorn, and lived in a library inside of a tree. Now, she had a shiny new crystal castle, and ponies came to see her quite often. Heck, it was Twilight who had managed to cut through the red tape and allow them to adopt Scootaloo in the first place. Something the two were eternally grateful for.
"Oh, hello Fluttershy, and you too Rainbow Dash." Twilight greeted warmly "What brings you here?"
"It's about Scootaloo." Rainbow Dash replied bluntly, and told Twilight what had been happening to Scootaloo over the past few months.
"I must say, that doesn't sound like the Scootaloo I know." Twilight said glumly.
"We know that, egghead." Rainbow Dash said crossly "What we wanna know is, why is Scootaloo acting like this? There's got to be a reason. And if anyone can figure it out you can."
"Please Twilight, you have to help us. I don't want to lose my precious baby." Fluttershy pleaded, holding back tears.
"Well, come on inside and we'll talk about it." Twilight replied, and ushered her friends into her room. "Now then, has Scootaloo told you anything?" she asked.
"Nothing at all." Rainbow Dash explained "Every time we try to talk to her, she just tells us to buck off and trots away. We keep telling her that she doesn't have to keep secrets from us, but she never replies. She just comes home, trots up to her room, and closes the door. She only comes out to use the bathroom, or have dinner."
"Have you noticed anything different about her besides her behavior?" Twilight asked.
"Sometimes, at night, I'll hear her crying." Fluttershy explained "But everytime I ask her, she just says it's nothing and tells me to go away. She's also been wetting the bed recently, but she doesn't seem to be really upset about it. I just wash her sheets, and then she takes them back to her room. She doesn't even seem to mind wearing night time protection."
"Anything else?" Twilight asked.
"Well, I have seen drawings of her scattered around her room from time to time." Fluttershy added "They all seem to depict her as a baby for some reason, but when I ask her about them she says it's just a project for school."
"I think I know what the problem is." Twilight explained.
"You do?" Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash asked hopefully.
"Yes, though it's just a theory." Twilight replied "From what I can gather, Scootaloo never really had a foalhood. She was forced to grow up prematurely because of the orphange. I think she wants to experience a part of her life that she never got to enjoy. But she's too embarassed to ask, and that, combined with the stress she's feeling at school, is causing her to act up."
"So, how do we fix it?" Fluttershy asked.
"It's actually pretty simple." Twilight explained, levitating a flask filled with a blue liquid of some kind.
"What is that?" Rainbow Dash asked "That's not gonna harm Scootaloo, is it?"
"Of course not. This is an age regression potion." Twilight said, giving the flask to Fluttershy "Just slip this into something for Scootaloo to drink, and within a few hours she'll turn into an adorable little foal. But, there is a catch."
"And the catch is?" Fluttershy asked, storing the flask in her saddle bag.
"The regression is permanent." Twilight said seriously "Once Scootaloo drinks it, she'll have to grow up again like a real foal. That means, you'll have to raise her as if you'd actually concieved her."
"That means I'll have to- oh my!" Fluttershy replied, a significant blush forming on her face.
"How are we suppose to 'you know what'?" Rainbow Dash asked Twilight.
"Just go to the pharmacy and pick up some mothering pills." Twilight explained "I'll even write the perscription for you. Of course, if you intend to go through with the regression, you'll have to buy all the necessary supplies. That includes foal diapers."
"Don't worry Twilight, we'll get everything we need." Fluttershy said firmly.
"Well before you go through with it, think carefully." Twilight encouraged "Once you've made the decision, there's no going back. Scootaloo's life will be completely changed, forever."
"Relax Twilight, we'll have plently of time to think about it on the way back home." Rainbow Dash said eagerly, picking up the perscription order from Twilight "Come on Fluttershy, we've got some shopping to do!"
Fortunately, Fluttershy's job as an animal caretaker, and Rainbow Dash's work at the weather factory and as a reserve member of The Wonderbolts, provided the young couple with plenty of money. Soon, they had obtained everything they would need to take care of a foal. And upon arriving home, they set work on putting together the nursery. They decided to set it up in Fluttershy's room, both to keep Scootaloo from finding out in case she really didn't want to be a foal, and so that they could easily keep an eye on Scootaloo if she did want to be a foal. After all, since their marriage, Fluttershy's bedroom had become Rainbow Dash's bedroom as well.
They also stored a training potty that they had bought, so that way, if they regressed her, they'd be ready for when Scootaloo was old enough to be potty trained. They had specifically picked one out with Scootaloo in mind, knowing that she'd hate anything incredibly girly.
Soon after they had finished, Scootaloo came home. She was exhausted. Another crusade had ended up a bust.
"Hey there squirt." Rainbow Dash called "How was crusading today?"
"Fine." Scootaloo replied, sounding rather uninterested "I don't wanna talk about it."
"Is mommy's little girl hungry?" Fluttershy asked.
"Yeah." Scootaloo said without much emotion "Whatever you wanna make is fine. Call me when dinner's ready, I'll just be up in my room."
Fluttershy quickly set to work on making dinner. She decided to make Scootalo's favorite meal, a homemade oat burger with hay fries. She then pulled out the flask Twilight had given her, and set it aside while she poured some apple juice into a cup. She was still unsure if she was truly doing the right thing.
"Hey Scootaloo, dinner's ready!" Rainbow Dash called "You'd better come down and eat it before it gets cold!"
Scootaloo sighed, and headed downstairs. Not even the sight of her favorite meal was enough to cheer her up. She knew she was going to get in trouble for what she'd done. There was no other reason why her two mothers were being so nice to her.
Plucking up courage, Fluttershy decided to ask the important question. "Scootaloo? Would you um, like to have a second foalhood?"
Scootaloo was surprised, but suspected nothing "Yes, of course." she replied, somewhat nervously.
"Are you sure about that kid?" Rainbow Dash asked. Scootaloo nodded.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked at each other, and then Fluttershy went to retrieve the flask, while Scootaloo ate her meal. Fluttershy unscrewed the lid of the flask, and poured the liquid into Scootaloo's cup of apple juice.
"What's that?" Scootaloo asked, when she saw the flask.
"It's something that will make you feel young again." Fluttershy explained vaguely "Now go on, drink it up." Being a trusting filly, Scootaloo did so. Soon afterward, she left to use the bathroom. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash assumed it was simply the potion forcing the hay burger to digest faster. They felt guilty about tricking their adopted daughter, but they hoped that with time, she would forgive them.
When Scootaloo came out of the bathroom, she suddenly felt very sleepy. She went upstairs, and fell fast asleep.
"Do you think it's going to work Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash whispered quietly.
"I hope so." Fluttershy replied "Twilight's never steered us wrong when it comes to potions. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully, Scootaloo won't be too cross when she wakes up."
"And what if she is?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"She'll have every right to be upset with us." Fluttershy explained "We did force this onto her without telling her exactly why."
"True, but we both agreed to do this. It's too late to back out now." Rainbow Dash said seriously "If worse comes to worse, she might never forgive us."
"Let's just hope that doesn't happen." Fluttershy said hopefully.
As the night went on, Scootaloo slept peacefully. Unaware of what was happening to her. When she woke up the next morning, she at first did not suspect that anything had happened. But when she opened her eyes all the way, she found herself sleeping in a crib in her parent's bedroom. And for some reason, everything seemed bigger. Then she looked down at her flank, and saw that a poofy white diaper was wrapped snuggly around her bottom.
"Where am I? What's happened to me?" she thought to herself.
"Good morning my little angel." a familiar voice called "Did you sleep well last night?"

I loved it, fantastic job
5181569 Stick around, there's more to come.
i like it and SuperPinkBrony12 are you going to mark this story to incomplete now
5181631 Not quite, seeing as while I do plan to include another chapter soon. Once November roles around I'll be working on another fic. Once that's completed, I'll come back to this fic. I plan to have 13 chapters total, but we'll see how things go.
5181634 ok
5181634 13 total ohhh what a good number
5181733 Glad you think so. A lot's going to happen. And at the end, there'll even be a decision about a character that will come into the story later on.
5181745 another character I wonder who it could be
5181824 You'll just have to wait and find out.
not bad I bet Scoots will be a tad pissed or maybe she will enjoy it
LOVED THIS STORY, PLEASE CONTINUE IT 10/10
5181897 A little of both. You'll see in time.
5182132 Don't worry, I will. I've got a lot planned for it.
Uh, interesting.
*sees the "On Hiatus" tag*
Well, this is akward
5182272 Don't worry, within a month it'll be off hiatus. I'm just leaving it like that for now seeing as, after a second chapter, I'll be focusing on another fic. Once it's completed, I'll take this off hiatus and work on it. Hopefully I'll have it done before Christmas.
I get that the point of these is "Aww Scoots is in a diaper, and I'm not one to criticize people's fetishes, whatever gets you off, but they offer to turn Scoots into a baby, she says yes, and that's it. They could talk about it, and maybe a bit about why she want's to be a baby and what it might be like.
TL:DR SLOW DOWN!
5186932 I already explained earlier that Scootaloo is too embarassed to ask directly for what she wants. Also, there'll be some talk about their decision in the next chapter. Scootaloo will be a bit cross with them for what they did.
hmmm. it felt a little forced to me.
*shrugs* but that's just me
5190047 Well, do you like it, hate it, or are you somewhere in the middle?
5190059
somewhere in the middle.
you need to slow down a little.
5190060 I'll try. Compared to the original version of this fic, this is an improvement. Once the next chapter is finished, this fic will more or less be right back where it was when I originally took over.
52/34 thumps up to down? Damn people, how could some of you hate this?
Anyway. I bet scootaloo is gonna throw a fit and demand an explanation.
And Applebloom and Sweetie Belle are gonna be like "WTF DID YOU DO TO HER?!?!"
5190063 I don't know what this looked like before, I guess it's been transferred from one author to another, but since it's yours now, you own it. Which means that when you've got people telling you it's a little rushed, it's probably a little rushed. Or we're all just trolls.
To be clear my problem is that changing somepony back into a baby perminetnly (at least as far as the potion is irreversible) seems like a big deal and Rainbow and Fluttershy seem to present that option to Scootaloo like "Hey Squirt, want to go to the park?"
5190937 5190760 Yeah, the like/dislike ratio doesn't reset when you take over someone else's fic. Even if you delete the old chapter and publish a new one. The next chapter will address the issue of the sudden regression. Scootaloo's not going to be completely furious, but she'll still be upset at the fact that her parents regressed her with only a vague question.
It's the same difficulty as raising a normal foal. The difficulty doesn't increases deppending on if the foal is an orphaned one or a mother-born one.
Also, orphaned.
Also, this fic includes the first clue about FlutterDash
Also, FlutterDash
Say no orphanage ever
Mare marriage, which is not bad, but just worth of pointing out. No, it's not a sin.
Also, Scootaloo, and that's a sin.
Then you haven't seen FimFiction Shipping folder
Also, 3 quotes in less than a minute, that's a sin.
*friends theme*
-1
The slowly process of becoming a bully.
Also, violence
Fluttershy talks a lot more than canon.
Yes, that's a sin.
Angels fly, and Scootaloo doesn't
Also, Angel
You no make Fluttershy sad.
Amawrong?
Everypony thinks that.
Also, Twilicorn
Discount Obama
Discount almost every girl of a Video Game
Because all you need to create a theory of what the problem is, are some little pieces of evidence that has nothing to do with each other.
I don't know Fluttershy, maybe if you let her finish she'll tell you
That sounds more like something Fluttershy will say
And I'm ok with that, and I'm totally not ok with that
Wha-- Why? Is there something that turns you on in Scootaloo going back to a filly? Or does it make you feel embarassed? Or what? Tell me, because I don't get it.
What!?
Also, Fic thinks that I'm following everything that has just happened, but truthfuly, I just don't know what just RD said.
*rainbow factory sound*
They are married and they sleep in different rooms? What the hay!
Said no child ever.
I've understood that in the first lines of the fic, there's no need to say "Two Mothers" again, as we know who do the Stallion role and who does the Mare role, and in case that the roles are mixed up and aren't what the fandom always tought, we already know that Scootaloo has two mothers.
Said a foal who never before had tell anything of her personal toughts to neither RD or Fluttershy. This is cheap exposition, and deserves a sin.
The fic has a lot of cheap exposition and scalates rather quickly, there's no need for a fast-paced fic, that tries to get the more attention possible in the less time, starts getting less attention for the same thing, not everybody likes fast-paced things. About the cheap exposition, it just feel cheap, is not that you can't include exposition in a fic, it just didn't feel good in this special ocassion. It's hard to find somepony who has good grammar in his fics, and this wasn't an exception. Problems with the commas and other stuff, like poor writting and misplaced words.
Overall is not a good fic, but it somehow manages to enter in my Tracking folder, which means that is readeable and atleast understandeable. Not a great piece of work, like some really greats fic in this site, but it has pottential, it just need polishing.
i much prefer this so far. i was rather tired the day i edited the original, so i guess i didn't see the flaws, which are gone from here so far, which i like.
not that matt11 did a bad job, i just wasn't good at editing that day.
wtf. I'm gonna call child abuse on this shit
One of the original critics from the first version. There was an overall improvement, but, still sucks. Only reading because somehow caught my attention.
having read the first chapter, I can say this fic sucks
Okay, a few notes here-
Scootaloo, judging by the story image, is not going to be turned into a foal. No, she's going to be a yearling or baby. A young filly, even. Not a deal, though. Foals are older.
Also, she's a little quick to consent- she's going to be aged down by around five to ten years. She's going to be put developmentally far behind her peers. She will lose her friends. She might not even like her scooter. She'll be a different pony.
Do you think she'd consent to that?
Not going to review the rest because I don't like age regression.
cute, hopefully scootsy won't be mad at her two mommies but we'll see, good work btw :)
