A Little Smarty Problem
By

*****
Twilight awoke with a groan, the last thing she remembered was seeing a little filly who looked just like, “SMARTY PANTS!” Twilight shot up shouting. She looked around and just as she feared; she was in Applejack’s house, “No, no, no, no, if Princess Celestia finds out about this she will...” Twilight gulped, “Send me back to magic kindergarten!” Twilight thought in a full panic. She knew she could not inform the princesses of what she did; but what if this was a test?
Then again what if it wasn’t a test and she somehow created a new life!? What if Princess Celestia banished her for doing that?! What would happen to Smarty Pants after she was banished? Twilight looked around frantically, hoping that it was all a crazy dream. Luckily for her she didn’t see anypony in the house. Twilight wondered if she had come over to Applejack’s again, trying to sit down and talk to Big Mac and get him to give Smarty Pants back and eventually fell asleep. “Yes! That’s the only rational reason I could be over here!” she convinced herself the best way she could.
Soon she heard hooves, two large pairs; Applejack and Big Macintosh, and a single set of tiny hooves; Applebloom. She smiled and readied an apology for falling asleep. Once she had it prepared she turned to the stairs, Applejack trotted down and saw Twilight, “Well lookie who woke up.” Applebloom came down next. Twilight opened her mouth to start her apology but all that came out was a squeak followed by some babbling. She watched Big Mac trot into view with a smiling filly hugging his neck.
“Mommy’s awake!” Smarty shouted. Twilight’s jaw fell as she stared at the grey filly. She was speechless, all she could do now was babble incoherently at the sight of Smarty Pants and a very annoyed looking Big Mac. Twilight used the technique that Cadence had taught her a while back, trying to calm herself down enough so she could speak. Yet nothing worked, she kept staring at Smarty Pants, wide eyed, “Mommy are you alright?” Smarty asked, looking at the clearly shell shocked Twilight.
Twilight began to breath a bit faster while looking at Smarty Pants. She could not take her eyes off the filly. Twilight felt a hoof on her shoulder and when she looked she saw Applejack, “Woah now calm down sugar cube.” Applejack said before taking off her hat to fan Twilight, “Take a’few breaths’ an’ try ta’ keep calm.” Twilight nodded, still shaking a bit, “Now Smarty ah need ya’ ta’ go ta’ Applebloom’s room fer’ me.”
Smarty lept off of Big Mac nodding, “Yes Auntie Applejack.” Smarty said before she turned and galloped upstairs.leaving Twilight, Applejack and Big Mac alone to talk about the situation and so Applejack could explain to Twilight that she had Spike contact Princess Celestia. Twilight nearly fainted again when she heard that.
***
Twilight paced back and forth, trying not to go crazy and keep calm. Not noticing she was wearing a pattern into the floor. Her worst fear had come true, Princess Celestia was coming now and when she found out; Twilight knew that only the worst would happen and she would get banished after spending a year in magic kindergarten, she was sure of it. Twilight could see herself now, wearing one of the school uniforms and sitting in the middle of a classroom while all of the foals pointed and laughed at her along with the teacher.
“Twilight? are ya’ gonna be alright sugar cube?” Applejack asked, seeing Twilight stop the unicorn looked Applejack in the eye.
“No!” Twilight practically screamed, “Do you KNOW what you have done?! I must have broken some ancient law! But I am trying to think what law and what the punishment is for it!” Twilight started pacing again, the beginning of a trench appearing. Big Mac, for the most part, stayed silent out of fear of what Twilight could do. If she could bring an old doll to life who knows what else she could do. So Big Mac thought it was in his best interest to keep quiet, “The only pony who did something close to this was Starswirl The Bearded and he only brought a plant to life for a few seconds!” Twilight could feel her heart beating “And this was NOT how I wanted to have a foal!” Twilight thought.
“Now Twilight ah think yer’ blowin’ this whole thing outta proportion.” Applejack said
Twilight’s head snapped over to Applejack, “Out of proportion?! You think I’m blowing this out of proportion?!” Twilight growled, “I am NOT blowing this out of proportion! This is bucking serious! I created a LIFE Applejack! I brought a toy! A TOY! To life! so NO I am NOT blowing this out of proportion!” A single hair in Twilight’s mane popped out of place, Applejack already knew what was going to happen if she didn’t calm down soon.
“Twilight please sit down an’ take a few deep breaths.” Applejack said. Twilight shook her head and kept pacing, “Will ya’ just stop pacing?” Twilight shook her head again, “Twilight please ah’m beggin’ ya’ ta’ just sit down. Ah think it would be fer’ tha’ best don’t ya’ agree Mac?”
“Eeyup” he said simply
Twilight stopped again, looking at Big Mac with fire in her eyes, “No I won’t sit down! If not for YOU!” Twilight looked at Big Mac, “Then this would not have happened! If YOU would have just given Smarty Pants back to ME then this would not be happening!” Twilight growled, keeping her gaze on Big Mac, “All I wanted was my old foalhood toy back and you refused to give it back to me! And now I am going to suffer because of it! I am not only going to get sent back to magic kindergarten but I will also get banished because of you!” Twilight stated with tears in her eyes, she was nearly to the point of crying out of fear.
Not knowing what else to say Applejack looked down. She agreed with almost everything Twilight said, everything aside from her being banished or sent to magic kindergarten. If Big Mac had given her the doll back then nothing would have happened but then again if Twilight had not went crazy over being ‘tardy’ and if Twilight did not use the ‘Want it,need it’ spell then Twilight would not be in this mess in the first place.
What would the princess say about this was the question on everyponies mind. The only pony that had seen the princess even slightly disappointed was Twilight back when she lived in the castle as a filly Twilight had broken an old vase that had a picture of Luna. It was hoof crafted and one of the only pictures of Luna that Celestia had before her banishment. When Twilight had broken it she had decided to hide it, scared of what she thought would be Celestia’s wrath. But all it earned her was a time out along with being grounded for a week from her parents.
There was a knock on the door causing everypony to jump. Everypony except Twilight; she froze in place and slowly turned to the door. Imagining Celestia breaking it down to banish her. The tension rose when they saw the doorknob slowly turning with a golden aura around it. Time seemed to slow down as the door opened up. Once it was open a tall regal looking alicorn walked in. “Hello my little ponies.”
THUD!
Everypony looked at the, once again, unconscious unicorn, Celestia magically levitated her to the couch and turned to the ponies present. They were all kneeling.”Please rise you do not need to bow to me” Celestia said smiling, “Now may I see the filly in question?” They nodded and Applejack galloped upstairs to get the filly. Big Mac offered Celestia something to eat or drink and she politely declined. Applejack eventually came downstairs with Smarty.
“Yay ponyback ride!” she said from the cowpony’s back. Looking up at Celestia after Applejack put her down. She smiled and waved, “Hi Princess Celestia.”
What this story reminds me of

2669948 XD I've seen that and at least you didn't have to wait until the 11th this time....oh it was temping to wait until the 11th to update it
Twilight's freakout makes me want to do something between laughing out loud, and bang my head (or hers) against the wall till I (or she) pass(es) out.
And it's about to hit the fan.
2670019 WIN
Oh... My... SP recognizes Celly.
Lesser then 2k words per month? No favs for this.
it's cute-cute.
Wonder if celestia decides smarty is now an official citizen and make both twilight and Big Mac her guardians
Imagine their reactions
And now Twilight has to send Celestia letters on her discoveries of the magic of being a mother!! And Big Mac on being a father!!
Oh.....she's going to teleport Smarty Pants to the sun and incinerate her for being an abomination against nature, and finally lock Twilight up in a mental institution.
Hey is smarty pants going to met cadance anytime soon?
Damn it, Twilight, stop fainting. You're making yourself look silly. It's just the Princess. Ruler of the nation. The only pony who could banish you.
I like this... but it's just a little too short.
This situation here, (Sarcasm mode) this will end well.
You should of had or have Smarty pant go up to fainted Twilight and fake faint.
"Celestia magically levitated her to the couch" just another day with Twilight I guess. She treated that like nothing happened.

Knowing Celly, I´m pretty sure that is going to do. After all, the foal is "their" responsability Twilight must choose between forming a family with Big Mac and Smarty, or face MK.
2670097 Oh I'm sorry its hard to write this story though I'm trying to keep all of the characters in cannon along with giving Smarty Pants a personality
Oh god im rolling on laugher xDD funny chapter ugh next chapter is gunna be good xP
I'm really enjoying this fic so far! Poor Twilight; if she faints too many more times she may need to borrow Rarity's fainting couch!
This was extremely funny, but now I'm worried since you said it's going to get serious.
Possibility 1:
Celestia says that Smarty is drawing on Twilight and/or Big Mac's life force/s, and if she isn't returned to a doll then one or both of them will die, as will Smarty. Smarty doesn't want to turn back into a doll and runs away, leading to an adventure to track her down.
Possibility 2:
Smarty Pants is affected by more than just Twilight's magic, which is why she's really alive, and whatever other source of magic it was is something dangerous/evil.
Possibility 3:
Celestia sees a doll, because it is just an illusion, just one that effected all of Ponyville.
Possibility 4:
The only thing Celestia orders is that Twilight and Big Mac both take full responsibility for the situation AND Smarty Pants...and somepony decides that this means they need to get married, and everything snowballs before someone sane can say anything.
1st Chapter ending - Smarty Pants: Hi Daddy!
2nd Chapter ending - Smarty Pants: Hi Mommy!
3rd Chapter ending - Smarty Pants: Hi Princess Celestia!
Hahaha, when will we get to see some of Smarty Pants beyond a simple greeting? Nice story!

Looking good, but it seems a bit rushed.
Wow Twilight, you didn't strike me as a constant fainting pony, if you keep going like this I'll defiantly mistake you as a Pokemon.
Yep Smart Pants knows everyone that's close to Twilight and Big Macintosh
Now guys as I said in the authors note I won't update this until I can update another story
2672243

Twilight's first foal is a doll that was given life.
Every parent's greatest dream.

GOOD GOD! THE HNNG'S!
i'm back sparky. he he he . twilight taking this whole thing well.
“Twilight? are ya’ gonna be alright sugar cube?” - Change this to "Twilight? Are ya' gonna be alright [or 'all right'] sugar cube [but 'sugarcube' is okay, too]?" Most important thing, though is capitalizing "Are".
"What would the princess say about this was the question on everyponies mind." This should end as "on everypony's mind." I shouldn't have to explain why.
You've got a fair amount of spelling and grammar mistakes in this story so far. And I'm 20 weeks late to the party. I'm surprised no one else caught these errors in that time.
2670865 Please learn the difference between "canon" and "cannon".
Don't you mean "Grandma" there, Smarty?
twi, you may have created a life, but think about it. YOU created a life. YOU'RE smarty' smother. You really think celestia's gonna punish you for creating a foal... No matter how it happened?
Twilight began to breath a bit faster
galloped upstairs.leaving Twilight
Twilight? are ya’ gonna be alright sugar cube?
I brought a toy! A TOY! To life! so NO I am NOT blowing this
1. Breathe.
2. Extra full stop.
3. Forgot to capitalise.
4. Forgot to capitalise.
Okay, I just have to know something here. Why is it whenever writers write twilight freakouts, why do they seem to always write down the comeuppance she imagines to receive to involve "Magic Kindergarten"? Imbuing life to an inanimate object I doubt will place you in Magic Kindergarten, if anything, it might be considered a grievous offense for a Unicorn that might cause a strong imbalance between the three tribes. If this is the case, it would fall to the overseeing Alicorns to isolate this incident by possibly removing the Unicorns horn or by ascending them to an Alicorn after putting them into exile to meditate on their transgressions
