Veldin: Milestones
Ratchet smiled as he looked up from his mechanics work as Twilight awoke crying. "Well, it looks like my sound-filtering headphones work," he said, turning towards the little filly. "Now it's time to try my other new invention." Walking over, he scooped Twilight up into his arms.
Twilight looked up at him with a frown. Her magic aura seized the headphones off his head and hurled them across the room where they shattered before she started bawling again, gesturing to the soggy diaper hanging from her hindquarters.
Ratchet winced. "Need to work a bit on structural integrity, though," he said, carrying her over to the device he'd been working on. "Time to test this."
Twilight took in the device somewhat nervously. In the center was a large circular brace, surrounded by several folded metal arms with various tools attached to them, a large linen chest, and a waste basket. Twilight obviously did not like the looks of the device.
"And there we go," Ratchet said, setting her in the brace. A padded balloon inside the brace inflated until it held Twilight gently but firmly with her diapered hindquarters underneath the brace. "Comfy?" he asked Twilight.
Twilight wriggled around. The brace actually did hold her quite comfortably, but she plainly didn't like the device.
"Don't worry, Twilight, it'll be over quick," Ratchet reassured her, switching the device on.
The arms began to move, and Twilight froze in fear. The first set of arms used laser cutters to remove her diaper efficiently without touching coat or skin. Another arm caught the soiled diaper as it fell with the waste bin, which released a gout of flame as the diaper was instantly incinerated. Other arms swooped in, gently and carefully wiping up any extra mess before applying baby powder to prevent rash. A last set of arms pulled out the new diaper from the linen chest and wrapped it around her to the mechanically precise comfortable fit. The arms then retracted, and the brace lowered until Twilight's hind hooves touched the floor. The balloon then deflated before the brace lifted up over Twilight, leaving her to brace herself once more on all fours before the machine shut down.
"It works!" Ratchet said happily, pumping his fist into the air. "The Daipertron is a success! Now I can sell the design to Gadgetron, and make enough money to cover quite a few of your expenses, Twilight! Isn't that wonderful?"
Twilight looked up at the machine, then down at her diaper, then up at Ratchet. She made a sad sounding inquiry.
Ratchet kneeled down. "What's wrong, Twilight?" he asked, resting his hand on her shoulder. She shifted her body so his hand was on her diaper. "What, is the machine not a personal enough touch?" Twilight nodded vigorously. Ratchet blinked. "Well, your grasp of language is certainly more advanced than I expected," he commented as he rubbed his chin. Twilight happily pointed to the holo-books. He chuckled. "Well, you are an avid reader."
He sat back, looking at his machine. "Maybe I should add a voice chip to the Diapertron Mark 2, programmed to pick from a selection of soothing statements to say during changing so the it feels more personal to the infant." He started to make a note of that.
Twilight made a sad bleating noise, butting his hand with her head as she put his leg between her and the machine.
Ratchet looked down at this. "Don't like the machine at all, huh?"
Twilight shook her head, nudging Ratchet's hand again.
Ratchet shook his head. "No Twilight. The whole point of this was so that I don't have to change your diaper by hand. More sanitary that way." When Twilight pouted at him, he sighed. "No, Twilight, I'm not budging on this." Her lip began to quiver. "Alright," he caved. "Tell you what: when you can handle your toilet related issues without a diaper, then you don't have to use the Diapertron anymore. How's that sound?"
Twilight's horn promptly glowed, and her diaper shredded itself.
Ratchet blinked. "I'm going to be heading to town to get a few things for you. If you make a mess while I'm gone, I expect you to clean it up."
Twilight squeaked happily as she trotted over to one of the holo-books. Sighing, Ratchet grabbed his bolt card and headed into town.
When Ratchet returned, his arms full of grocery bags, he found Twilight on the front lawn, doing her business in a divot she had dug with her forehooves. "Twilight, that's not what I meant-"
As soon as Twilight finished her business, she wiped herself with a levitated piece of toilet paper and dropped it into the divot, then turned to face it. Her horn glowed, and a bolt of lightning struck from her horn to the divot, incinerating the contents and leaving a sweet-smelling pile of ash behind.
Ratchet stared at what had happened as Twilight headed back into the shed they called home. "Not quite what I meant, but I won't complain about her toilet training herself," he said with a shrug. He then walked in, setting the bags down. "Well, I got some bottles for milk, a masher to turn local vegetables into baby food for you, and a special surprise for you!" He turned around, then frowned. "Hey! That's my wrench!"
Twilight was curled up on the pile of holo-books, hugging Ratchet's Omniwrench to her. At Ratchet's complaint, she turned, holding it closer to her and sucking on one side of the wrench head.
"Hey!" Ratchet complained again. Rushing forward, he grabbed the handle and gave a tug. "Mine!"
"Nyeh!" Twilight complained, clutching the wrench with forehooves and magic.
"Mine!" Ratchet said again, tugging.
"Nyeh!" Twilight mewled, tugging back.
"Mine!"
"Nyeh!"
"Mine!"
"Nyeh!"
"Get...your...own!" Ratchet growled, tugging harder on the wrench.
Twilight blinked, then made a happy squeal. Her horn flashed brightly.
Ratchet fell back, his Omniwrench clutched in his hands. Twilight tumbled backwards off the pile of holo-books, clutching an identical Omniwrench. "Twilight, you okay?" Ratchet asked in concern, rushing over to her.
She held up the second Omniwrench happily, looking up at him for approval.
Ratchet held his wrench up to the duplicate, comparing it in every detail. Seeing that they were completely identical, he realized they needed some way to tell them apart. As an idea struck him, he held up his. "Mine," he said. Reaching into a drawer, he quickly made a decal in the design of the mark on Twilight's rear, the purple and white star surrounded by five small white stars. He stuck the decal to the head of Twilight's wrench. "Yours," he said firmly.
Twilight squealed happily, hugging him while she gripped the wrench in a purple glow that matched the glow of her horn.
"Huh," Ratchet said as he returned the hug. "Didn't know you could manipulate objects like that without blowing them up." He grinned. "So...want to see your surprise?"
"Yeh!" Twilight squealed happily, bouncing around him in a circle. "Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh!"
Ratchet chuckled, reaching into one of the bags. "Well, you know how you really liked those Captain Quark stories?" Twilight nodded her head vigorously. "Well...ta-dah!" Ratchet pulled an official Captain Quark plushy out of the bag, the perfect size for Twilight to cuddle at night.
Twilight squealed even happier, yanking the plushy to her in more of her purple energy before snuggling it.
"You're welcome," Ratchet chuckled, petting her head.
To his surprise, she released the plushy to leap upward and hug him around his neck. "Takoo, Dada!" she said, nuzzling him.
He couldn't help but smile as he hugged her back. "Happy to do it, Twi," he said. Twilight then hopped down and grabbed a holo-book before beginning to read to Quark in her baby talk. Ratchet smiled rather goofily. "She...she called me Dada..."

Twilight is probably going to be disappointed in the future... but so would Ratchet about Quark/Qwark. Never did see anyone stick to one spelling choice for him.
4947121 I believe that it is actually Quark.
I also believe that both Twilight and Ratchet are in for a disappointment if they ever find out the truth behind Captain Quark. He does redeem himself, sort of, eventually, but only after a few more seriously boneheaded schemes.
Then again, as this is a divergent timeline, who's to say what changes take place?
D'aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww!
i3.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/001/779/hnnnnng.jpg
Also, Twilight's toilet training method is pretty cool.
A pity we're unable to do that 
holy shit dude, their just diapers. talk about overkill here.
5152194 Not when we have technology.
5152194 you obviously don't know the horrors of changing a baby.
5716141 One of the major incentives I have to never have babies, in fact: I remember having to deal with my nephews when they were still burbling headache inducing mess-factories. Between that and the lack of sleep... The joys of parenthood do not appeal.
Well, so Rachet becomes a nicer person earlier in canon and he will hate Captain Quark when it reveals to be a traitor and crushes little Twilight heart. I don't see THIS Captain Quark getting off as easy as it did in the games. To break a little girl heart is a big crime, to break her heart and her innocence is unforgivable!
So much d'awww!
5725696
Oh Poseidon, which game does this happen in?
5736186
He's talking about the very first game! Qwark used to be a legitimate hero, but was swiftly seduced by the fame and the endorsement deals. He's basically the (hidden) "dragon" of the first game, the "Man behind the Man" of the second, and didn't turn hero again until around game 3 or 4.
5754142
Heel->Face Turn was game 3.
I get the distinct feeling this is going to end like my little dashie....
im litterally having put it into my favorits just becuz of ratchet and clank......
5754142
it was number 3
i still remember that endgame boss fight
was fun using the "car" to race away from missiles it felt like i had a scene from a movie......
The 'daaaw's cannot be contained!
My......................masculinity.................cannot............resist............the..........................cuteness
Only three chapters in and I'm already half dead from the cute.
5906942 Just wait until the cuteness reaches critical mass. Heh, weaponized cuteness, fits in well with the older R&C games.
5907134
What are you talking about in the older R&C games? Weaponized cuteness works EVERYWHERE
5907323 ESPECIALLY the sheepinator and rainbow afrolizer.
Good thing I'm a girl, or my masculinity would have had diabetes from the cuteness.
I do hope she grows up some
I always did like these stories. The family aspect of these stories always did make me smile. Not to mention how cute the characters are when they're young
First off, this is freaking adorable.
I'm a little confused at Twi's precociousness, though. Is she able to cast such advanced magic as a baby because of magical surges in Baby Cakes, or is it because she kept her life experiences when she got aged down? I'm leaning towards option two, based on her reaction to books and language.
5906942 better than me, I actually died from the adorableness, luckily I had an extra life
6075953 Only problem with that, she called him dad.
Now maybe some memory suppressant effects where mixed in with her arrival, meaning that she can't remember any specifics but kept most of her skills.
5865002 One can have masculinity AND accept cuteness. How else could one be father to a little girl?
awwwwww twilight s sooo adorable
6419186 Kind of a mood killer, but remember how it turns out when they become teens.
Wierd... But kind of good.
Changed diapers for sister. (!2 years difference). Envy Ratchet.
6345194 Your doing better than me, my dreadzone collar keeps going off as i*BOOM*
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the game timelines...
SECOND READ THROUGH AND THE DAWS STILL GET ME
god dam it i want a baby twilight sparkle
7376888 she was transported out of her own dimension by orvus, when in her dimension a spell wentry wring but she remembers her spells by placing a spell on herself just before she disappeared. This is my theory. Buy hey that's just a theory, a game theory :P
Adorbsies.
Huh. Does Twilight have any memories of her old life and just demanding he stick to the book, or is her memory blank while her personality remains intact?
5152194
Dirty Diapers are classified as a level four bio-hazard.
Im still trying to figure out what rules you used for the set back here.
The fact that she has her cutie mark and wings at a foal, I don't know!
Alright, you've convinced me, I like this story.
7962155
That dimensional rift altered her age and memories?
I've seen stories like this before - in particular Rainbow Dash-lives-with-Tony Stark, and Rarity-lives-with-elderly-Bruce Wayne (Batman Beyond world).
8238526
Both mine.
Twilight no...
Ehh, close enough.
5865002
Why do you resist embrace the dawww.
6886486
You and me both brother.
I'm positive I'll get more affection from her than my cats.
6851145
You are doing better than me. I had a slow heart attack that lasted for an hour and I just kept reading.
It's a good story
I have my own impressive feat at a young age
I taught myself to read at the age of two years old
I was reading My mom's collage books in 2nd grade
