> Her little Rainbow > by Super-Stallion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A bad day in the Everfree > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a nice quiet day in ponyville, and everpony was doing their own thing. Children were playing, and ponies were going about their own business. Outside Ponyville in the fields, everypon's favorite cyan pegasus, Rainbow Dash, was practicing a new trick she invented. She had thought of it the night before, it was meant to show it off for the Wonderbolts and was now putting it to the test. "Alright Fluttershy, are you ready for the most awesome trick you ever seen?" Rainbow said. She had invited Fluttershy to watch her new trick. Dash thought Fluttershy would be the best choice to watch. For one thing, she was her best friend since flight school and supported her when her parents died. She really missed them and Fluttershy really helped her through her loss. Plus, she thought of her as a older sister, so it was only natural she'd watch. "Oh, um, sure Rainbow Dash. I'm ready, so you can start... if you're ready that is." Fluttershy always thought she had to support Rainbow Dash. She couldn't imagine how it felt to lose both parents. Thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable, and she kinda felt like a big sister taking care of her sibling. "Alright then! Here I go." Rainbow Dash flew high up in the air at top speed. When she was high enough, she started spinning. She was becoming something like a tornado or a drill. She started to make loops still spiraling, going higher into the sky. 'Ok, time to finish this with a bang,' She thought. She then went into a dive going at incredible speed. She was only a few more feet from the ground. Then, just before crashing she pulled up and BOOM! She did her most awesome trick: the Sonic Rainboom. The cocky pegasus flipped onto her back still flying, with a big smirk on her face. Fluttershy was very impressed. She gave her best YAY, which was still very quiet. "Wow Rainbow Dash! That was..." Her voice trailed off seeing that Rainbow Dash was heading right towards the side of a cliff. "RAINBOW DASH!!! LOOK OUT!!" But she was too late. Rainbow had crashed head first into the side of the cliff face and was now free falling. Fluttershy just watched in horror as her friend fell from the sky, too afraid to move. It wasn't Rainbow's falling that made her so scared. It was where she was falling to. The blue pegasus was falling right into the place nopony in the right mind would go into...The Everfree Forest. When she finally snapped out of her trance, she started to trot to the forest to go see if Rainbow was okay, and to save her from the forest. She didn't want to go into the forest alone, but if she tried to go get help something bad may happen. She wasn't taking any chances! She was too worried to risk it. And besides, Rainbow couldn't have crashed that deep in the forest, could she? What's the worst that could happen? **** In the forest, Dash was beginning to wake up from her latest crash. Her head felt heavy and her wings were in pain. "Great! I broke a wing," she grumbled to herself. Looking around, she was hoping that she didn't crash into somepony's bathroom again, like at Sweet apple acres. To sum it up, she now had nightmares of Granny Smith in the shower. Then when she finally had a good look around, she knew exactly were she was and she didn't like it. "Oh my goddess. I'm in the EVERFREE FOREST!" she panicked. Not only was she in the forest, but she was in the forest alone, with a broken wing. "Okay, calm down Dashie. It's not that bad," she said to herself calming down a little. "You're probably not even that far from the entrance." She looked around trying to find the entrance. Taking a glance behind her, and sighed in relief. There beyond a few trees was a light to the exit of the forest. Her joy grew when she saw who was coming through the entrance. "Fluttershy!" She must have heard her because Fluttershy was now moving faster towards her. When she saw her friend galloping to her, she stood up on her hooves and made a dash for her friend, being careful of her sore wing. Little did she know, under her hooves and all around her crash site were a patch of strange looking red plants. Fluttershy was so happy to find Rainbow Dash safe and sound. She ran faster to her friend and when she finally found her, she embraced Rainbow in a hug. They stayed that way for a few seconds until Fluttershy looked down- Wait, down? She may have been the oldest of the circle of her six friends, but she was never taller than any of them, including Rainbow Dash. She let go of Dash to get a good look at her. She looked... different. Not only did she look smaller, but she looked younger too. She stared at Rainbow until... "Fluttershy, what's wrong?" Dash asked. Then, she noticed something different about her voice. It sounded higher and less mature. "What's wrong with my voice?" she asked, confusion taking ahold of her. She looked up at Fluttershy and noticed she was taller. In fact, everything looked taller and... growing? "What's happening to me!?" Dash wailed. Her fear was returning. Dash's screaming made Fluttershy snap out of her daze and say, Rainbow Dash, YOU'RE GETTING YOUNGER!" The words made Rainbows eye bulge in fear. "Younger!?" She looked at her hooves. They were shrinking before her eyes. "Ahh!!! How young am I going to get!?" she shouted looking back up to Fluttershy. Fluttershy shook her head. "I-I don't know!" she stuttered still looking at Dash with shock. She looked the same age as the CMC now. Dash closed her eyes refusing to look any longer at the growing world. She kept them closed for a few minutes. The next time she opened her eyes, the world stopped growing but everything looked huge. The trees were like sky scrapers now. She looked up at Fluttershy to see that she was now giant. "Fwuttewshy what's happened to me?" She heard her voice. It sounded so high and childish. Fluttershy bit her bottom lip and looked at Rainbow. "Um... you're, uhh..." "Yes?" Dash said wanting the answer now. "You're a baby." she finally said. Dash froze. "What!?" she screamed. She looked down at her body. It looked so small and chubby. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" she screamed again. " No! I dun wanna be a baby!" She exclaimed, rolling onto her back an and kicking her hooves in the air, tears pouring from her eyes. Fluttershy, being the caring, loving pony she is couldn't stand seeing foals cry and certainly not her friends. So, scooping up the now foal Rainbow Dash, she rocked and cooed to her to calm her down. "Shhh... it's okay, Dashie. We'll think of something." Rainbows crying slowed down to a small whimper. Then she looked up at Flutteryshy. "W-We wiww?" she asked with big baby eyes. Fluttershy gave her a big motherly smile and said, "Sure we will." Then booped Rainbows nose causing her to giggle. Suddenly, something fell from the bottom of Rainbows hoof. "What's this?" Fluttershy asked picking up the object. It was a red flower. It had five leaves that reminded her of a star. It looked so familiar... "Ohmygosh!" she said letting go of the plant and letting it fall to the ground. Dash looked at the plant then back at Fluttershy " What wong?" Dash asked. "That's poison joke!" she said. Dash's eyes grew once more as she she looked back down at the plant. "But awen't poison joke blue?" 'It was true that poison joke came in blue. Maybe it came in other colors too.' Fluttershy thought to herself. Then another thought came to her. "This is great!" she yelled making Dash look at her. "What?" she said hoping Flutters came up with a solution. Fluttershy looked back down at the foal in her arms "Um, yeah. We can go see Zecora. She helped us with our last poison joke problem before. Maybe she can do it again," she explained. A smile grew wide on Rainbow's face. "So I can be big again?" she asked, hope building up inside her. "Yup," Fluttershy responded. Then, putting Rainbow Dash on her back, she started making her way to Zecora's place in the Everfree. Rainbow was now relaxed. This would all be over soon and she'd be back to normal. 'Thank Celestia,' she thought to herself. 'I would hate to be in a diapers again.' > The horrible truth > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It didn't take long for Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash to find the zebra's home and explain their situation to her. Zecora looked at both Fluttershy and the foal Rainbow Dash. She was shocked to see the shy pony with a foal and more shocked to find out the foal was in fact Rainbow Dash. The most shocking, however, she was finding out that the way she ended up a foal was due to red poison joke. "Sorry, but the plant that troubles you, cannot be cured with my brew." she said flatly. "B-but you cured our poison joke problem before. Why not now?" Fluttershy ask worried for her friends well-being. The zebra sighed and decided to come out and tell them. "You must understand, my friends, brash and meek, that I do not have the cure you seek." Both of them gasped. "No cuwe!? Then how'd you fix us the first time!?" Dash yelled at the zebra. Zecora raised an eyebrow at Dash's rudeness. Fluttershy looked down at Rainbow and scowled. "Rainbow Dash, don't be rude," she scolded. Rainbow looked from the zebra to her friend. "But Fwuttewshy, she won't cuwe me and I dun't wanna be a baby!" The rainbow pegasus was on the verge of yelling. "And what if the othews find out and laugh at me, and... and." Then, the most worst possible thing came to her mind. "And what if I can't become a Wondewbolt!?" That finally broke her. She was now crying like the age she was. Scooping the small pegasus foal up into her hooves, Fluttershy cuddled her and cooed. "It's ok, Dashie. You can still be a Wonderbolt. I doubt this will last forever and you'll be back to your normal self in no time!" This calmed Dash down a little as she looked up from Fluttershy's mane and looked her in the eyes. "Weally?" she asked in a child like way. "Really." the butter coloured mare said back, giving her a big hug that Dash returned by hugging her neck. Zecora let out a "d'aaw" at the scene before both Rainbow and Fluttershy let go of each other when they remembered that she was present. "Like I said before, I can't help you with your posion joke problem, if I did I told you and more. This time because of the 'red' posion joke. It's a special breed and different from it's blue cousin, it's a rogue. It's quite rare too, however, as unlucky as it may seem. You're lucky it wasn't green." Fluttershy looked at Zecora with a raised eyebrow and asked, "Why?" Zecora blushed and muttered, "I'm hesitant to give the reason. Lets just say it's worse than heat season." Rainbow looked up at the two grown ups and asked, "So what do we do?" She really wanted that cure. If she couldn't get it, then she'd be stuck like this for a while. That thought scared her because that left her with only one possible option... The Orphanage. She could still remember how horrible it was. The staff were horrid and the food was nasty. The only way she made it through that was because of Fluttershy, who came and visited nearly every day. 'No, I can't go back to that hell hole,' Rainbow thought. "You're gonna stay with me." Rainbow looked up to Fluttershy. "Weally!?" she asked with a big smile on her face. Fluttershy giggled. "Of course! What? Did you think I was going to send you to an orphanage or something?" She giggled again. Rainbow crawled towards Fluttershy and hugged her leg. "Thank you! Thank you!" she exclaimed as excitedly as... as a foal. She realized what she was doing and let go of the leg, her cheeks turning a light pink. Fluttershy just giggled. "Fluttershy," Zecora called. "the kindest pegasus I ever known. Can I talk to you for a minute, alone?" the Zebra asked. "Oh um... okay what about Rainbow Dash?" she asked, not wanting to leave a small foal unattended, especially since that foal was Rainbow Dash. "Come with me, I just have to ask you something, see?" Zecora nodded towards the door to her hut and Fluttershy followed her out leaving Rainbow Dash alone. "Um, what do you need Zecora? ...If you don't mind me asking." the shy mare asked. Zecora turned to Fluttershy with a worried expression. "Fluttershy, this isn't something we can dismiss, how old do you think Rainbow Dash is?' the shaman asked. Fluttershy thought about it for a moment before answering. "Um, I think maybe one year old?" Zecora shook her head and said, "No Fluttershy. I can tell that isn't the age she has yet met. She isn't even one yet." "Then how old is she?" she asked curious as to what Rainbows age was. "If my guess is properly pieced, she's three months at the least." Zecora replied. This shocked the yellow mare. Three months? She knew Rainbow was small but wow. "So what's the big deal?" she inquired not getting what the Zebra was implying. "Fluttershy, this may sound rather ilk, what do foals drink until they're old enough to drink whole milk?" Zecora asked. She watched the mare think of the answer. Fluttershy's eyes grew wide. "B-b-breast milk," she said sending a deep red blush down her face. "But she would never-" Zecora interrupted. "You don't have to do, but if she can't keep formula, you may have to." she said. "But," Fluttershy protested. "I'm not lactating." "I can take care of that, my friend. I'll do what I can to help amend." She went over to a shelf and pulled down a bottle of yellow liquid. "Just take this, and then you'll nurse," she said then hoofing it to Fluttershy, who then put it in her saddle bag. "Well, I think it is time for you two to go now." she said. Fluttershy went back into the other room and came back out with Rainbow Dash on her back. "Well, we'll be going now. See you later Zecora. Say bye Rainbow." "Bye bye," she waved. Zecora waved back. "Bye-bye, and Fluttershy, don't forget what I said!" she yelled before they were out of sight. They couldn't hear the rest of the rhyme. Now heading back home, Fluttershy's mind aflutter with thoughts of foal-proofing her home, she did not think about the many animals that were also there. > Home sweet home > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy made her way home from the Everfree. Her butter-colored wings swaddled Rainbow Dash in a feathery cocoon of warmth. She looked down at little Dashie. The foal was sound asleep, snuggled up against her chest giving off light snores with each breath. She smiled and thought, 'Aww... she is so cute.' Then she thought back to what happened at Zecora's hut. 'She acted like a foal earlier... I hope this isn't affecting her mind. I don't want to lose my friend!' Her attention was drawn back to her friend, who shifted and gave out a small yawn. '...even if she is a little cutie pie.' She looked up at the sky. The sun was slowly dipping over the horizon sending tints of pink and gold across the sky. She was going to need some foal supplies before all the stores closed. She quickened her pace, taking care not to wake Dash. **** Back at Fluttershy's cottage, a small white bunny was playing a game of poker in the kichen with three other rabbits. They were all sitting down at a small poker table which was fashioned out of a small cardboard box and duct tape. At the center was a pile of carrots on top as the prize. One of the rabbits held a smug look on his face. It took it's cards in his hand and placed them out in front of him. He had two kings and five queens. A full house. Seeing this, all the other rabbits threw down their cards in anger and frustration. Just as the lucky hare was about to collect his prize, he was stopped by a white paw. He looked up to see the white bunny who held a very large grin. The cards he had made the brown bunny's eyes swell to the size of dinner plates. He held all aces. Four-of-a-kind. The brown rabbit sat there in total shock as he watched the white bunny take his prize. The bunny held a similar smug grin and began munching on one of the carrots. Suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening. "Angel I'm home! Where are you?" Hearing his name, the white bunny jumped out of his seat and hopped to the back door. He lifted the cat flap and motioned for all the other bunny's to leave. Moving as fast as they could, the other bunny's piled up all the poker cards inside the box and ran for the exit, handing Angel the prize carrots on their way out the door. Taking his heap of carrots, Angel opened a cabinet and stuffed them inside for later. When that was done, Angel hopped into the living room to see his owner, whose wings where in an odd position. "There you are Angel," Fluttershy said to her pet bunny as he exited the kitchen. "I have something to show you." She motioned the small bunny to her wings. Curious, he hopped over to the yellow pegasus. Fluttershy leaned down opening her wings a bit so that he could see what she was carrying. It was a small Pegasus foal that looked barely a few months old. She had a messy rainbow mane and a sky blue coat. Angel glanced between the foal and Fluttershy for a few seconds before stepping back for an explanation. Fluttershy saw from his expression that he wanted an explanation. So she explained all of what happened earlier that day and what she planned to do with her. The rabbit's expression was neutral and nearly unreadable. "Okay Angel bunny," She said gently laying the pegasus down on the carpet. "I need you to stay here with Dashie and watch her while I go to the store and get some foal supplies, okay?" She said with a small smile. Angel just crossed his arms and turned away from the two, being his stubborn self. "Oh please, Angel bunny?" Fluttershy pleaded, nudging Rainbow a bit closer to Angel. "She needs our help." The stubborn bunny took a sideways glance at the sleeping foal who cutely yawned and rolled over in her sleep. Sighing and rolling his eyes in defeat, he nodded. "Oh thank you!" Fluttershy exclaimed, giving Angel a small kiss on his forehead. Picking up the sleeping foal, she placed Rainbow Dash down on the couch and floated out the door. "I'll be back soon. I promise. Bye Angel." she shut the door behind her, leaving Angel and Dash alone. Angel shook his head in defeat and looked over to where Dash was napping. He hopped onto the couch. 'She looks pretty peaceful sleeping, better then her moving around,' he thought looking down at her. Fate, the most cruelest of jokers, thought that this was the most oppertune moment for Rainbow Dash to wake up. Her eyes slowly opened and she let out a loud yawn, stretching out her body. Sitting up from her nap she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "Wher' am I?" she thought out loud, letting out another yawn. Then the memories of the days events came flooding back. "Oh, yeah... I'm a baby... great." She looked to her left to see she was being stared at by Fluttershy's pet bunny, Angel. "Well 'bout time you woke up." Angel stated flatly. "Wait, you can tawk!?" Rainbow gasped, surprised at the bunny's ability to speak. "Oh, so you can understand me? Well, that makes things a whole lot easier," he said, clapping his paws together. "H-how is it I can now undewstand you?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at the rabbit. He paused for a minute rubbing his chin, thinking before answering. "Well, it could be that you're now a foal." Angel answered motioning his paw at her. This caused her to scratch her head. "What does that have to do with anything?" she asked. Angel sighed and answered, "It could be possible that whatever changed you, may have changed part of your noggin'." He gently banged the side of his head. "But how-" she was cut off by a sudden cough. Something red flew out of her mouth and landed on the couch. Angel picked it up. "Yeah ya see, red poison joke." He tossed the leaf out of sight. "Huh... had an older cousin who got messed up by this stuff. Now he's the youngest in the family. Could be worse, I suppose- at least it's not green." He said, giving a shiver as the image of the effect popped into his head. Rainbow was surprised that he knew about it. "Do you know the cure?" she asked with a hopeful smile, silently pleading he would say yes. "Nope! There is no cure... not that I know of," he turned his back on her before continuing. "and you better hope this wears off soon or you could be stuck like this forever." Angel said. "What?! Why? How-" she asked, her eyes began to tearing up as she tried to grasp at what the bunny was saying. Angel lowered his head. "My cousin was normal at first. He just looked like a baby. Then he started acting like one, and eventually, after a month, it became permanent. He never aged, in his mind or body." He said turning back to Dash and saw tears flowing freely down her face. "Pewmanent?" she asked, a quiver in her voice, on the verge of breaking down. "Hey, hey! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm sure it'll wear off. I mean, my cousin was a bunny; not a pony. Just stop with the water works, ok?" Angel said not wanting to be on the recieving end of a balling foal. She sniffled and calmed down, wiping away her tears. "Yeah your wight! Crying won't get me anywher'!" Angel breathed a sigh of relief at the close call. Then, a sudden thought crossed his mind. "Hey, do you wanna go have some 'fun' before Fluttershy comes back?" he asked, a grin making its way to his face. Rainbow Dash gave a big smile and replied "Fun? Hay yes! It's bowing sittin' here" Angel made an evil grin. "Then, let the fun commence!" > Babysitting little Dashie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Moon was now high over Ponyville and all the stores where closing for the night, flying out of the small town was Fluttershy with all the foal supplies she'll need to take care of Rainbow Dash. Diapers, baby wipes, a crib, a changing table, a pacifier, a foal carrier, a baby bottle and a can of formula and some toys if she was willing to play with them. "Oh I hope Dash will be able to keep the formula down." Fluttershy said, remembering what Zecora said, she really didn't want to have to 'nurse' her, not only would it be weird but I could traumatize her or something, she shook her head of the troubling thought. "No that won't happen...I hope." she said and made the rest of her trip home. **** When she got home she was exhausted from carrying the bags "Boy I'm tired, it's good to be home." she said as she opened the door, when it was fully opened her jaw dropped at what she was saw. Sliding across the floor on top of sponges Rainbow dash and Angel were racing across the floor, screaming and laughing their heads off. They did not notice Fluttershy walking in through the front door. "Rainbow Dash, Angel!" she yelled stopping them in there tracks, getting there attention. "Look at the mess you two made!" she said motioning her hooves around all the water and soup suds on the floor left by the wet sponges. Rainbow look at the mess she and angel made, it was really a mess she hadn't noticed because she was having so much fun, she looked up to Fluttershy but almost immediately lowered her head in shame "I'm sowwy." she apologized. Fluttershy winced she didn't want to make her sad again "T-that's okay, just don't do it again okay." she said "I've got something to show you." picking up rainbow dash and taking her over to one of the bags she had. "What is it?" she asked curious, even though she knew it was probably a bunch of foal stuff. Fluttershy reached into the bag and pulled out a doll. Rainbow's eyes grew wide, it was a Wonderbolt doll and not just any Wonderbolt doll, it was her favorite one. "Ohmygosh Spitfywe!" she said until she realized she was getting excited over a doll, she looked back at Fluttershy who had a smile on her face from Rainbow's reaction to the doll, "I mean, that's for babies, I dun need no dumb doll." she said trying to cover her excitement. "Oh, then I'll just return it then." Fluttershy said, about to throw the doll back into the bag. "W-wait, wait, I think I do know a filly who likes to play with dolls like this, maybe when I'm big again I can take it to her." she said, she obviously really just wanted the toy for herself but she wasn't going to admit that to her. Fluttershy just giggled and handed Dash the toy, she watched as dash lovingly cuddled the plush toy, not caring she was watched or if anypony was paying attention to her, she looked at the living room clock it was eight o'clock so there was still time before Rainbow would probably fall asleep. "Fwuttewshy." Rainbow called, ignoring the doll in her hooves for a minute to talk to her. Fluttershy looked back down at Dashie, "What is it Rainbow?" she asked. "Can we still do something fun?" she replied, she had fun with Angel and the immature side of her didn't want it to end. Fluttershy thought about it for a minute before an idea came to her, "Okay Rainbow, but let's do something not so..." she paused to look at the mess still on the floor "...messy." she then went over to her own saddle bag and pulled out a book. Rainbow gasped "That's my new Daring Do book!" Fluttershy smiled, "Yup, I stopped by your house to grab some things I thought you would want while your here.....which reminds me." she put the book down on the coffee table then put Rainbow back on the floor to walk back over to the many bag to pull something to the side, it was a cage that would be used to carry small animals. Rainbow raised a brow, "What's the cage for?" she asked. Fluttershy just ignored her put the cage on the floor then opened the door, "You can come out now." she said to something in the cage. Rainbow just sat there and watched the cage opening to see what would come out, Then here eyes grew, very slowly a green turtle came out of the cage, Dash had a big smile "Tank!" she said the crawled over to the slow turtle in excitement and hugged the top of the turtle's shell. (Tortoise! the editor sneaked in.) "Rainbow, what happened to you?" asked Tank. "You can tawk too!" Rainbow said surprised. "Well of course, what'd you think you would only be able to talk to me?" Angel said who had stayed quit till now. Fluttershy was just sitting on here flank watching Rainbow talk to the animals. Could she understand what their saying?' she thought, if that was the case this could be a problem. 'Could this be a sign that her mind is regressing?' she put the thought away for later suspicion. "Hey Rainbow, you ready for that story?" Fluttershy asked, a need to think of something else. Rainbow looked at Fluttershy "Yeah, wet's get this thing stawted!" she replied excitedly, she hadn't read the new Daring Do book so this was going to be cool. Fluttershy giggled, then she remembered something "Okay, but first things first." she said while picking up Rainbow and going over to another bag she pulled out some diapers. Rainbow's smile faded she dredded this moment "Do I have to, Fwuttewshy?" Fluttershy nodded "Yes, I don't want you to have an accident all over my floor," she said, then pointed at the mess Rainbow and Angel had already made "and you already made a pretty big mess." Rainbow winced then sighed "Okay, I'll put on the diapie." Fluttershy smiled again at another victory and went over to the couch, she lied Rainbow on her back and opened the pack of diapers, she took one from the pack and lifting Rainbow's legs up she slide the diaper under her and put her rump back down on the soft plastic, she then reached back into the bag from before to pull out some baby powder and sprinkle it into the diaper. Rainbow watch as Fluttershy applied her diaper to her rump and when Fluttershy was done and pinned the diaper together she sat up to feel her new dressing and to her surprise it felt...comfortable "Wow, this actually doesn't feel bad, still humiliating but not bad." she looked back up to Fluttershy, "Can I have that story now?" She smiled "Of course." she said then picked Rainbow up and grapping the book of the coffee table flew upstairs to her room, she stopped to look at the two pets downstairs "You guys can take a rest I you want to." she said then went to here room. Angel took her offer and jumped on the couch, sat back and quickly fell asleep. Tank just went over next to the couch and curled up into his shell and joined Angel in a peaceful sleep. Upstairs Fluttershy had lied down on here bed with Rainbow tucked under her wing. She didn't refuse her wing to distracted by the thought of a Daring Do story "Come on Fluttershy, read the story!" she said her patience growing thin. "Okay, okay let's get started." she replied opening the book to the first chapter and reading the title "Daring Do and the Crystal of Sun and Moon goddesses." Rainbow listened with undivided attention to Fluttershy reading, excited about where Daring Do was going next The story lasted for a very long time, until Fluttershy decided to stop at a cliff hanger, "Okay, Rainbow I think that's enough for tonight." she said "Aww but Fwuttewshy, we were just getting to the good part." she protested rubbing her eyes. "No Rainbow, for one you can hardly keep your eyes open." she said flatly watching Dash struggle not to yawn and failing "Besides you don't want to fall asleep in the middle of a chapter and miss something important, do you." Rainbow sighed "I guess so, but I still not sweepy." she said pouting and still refusing to sleep. Fluttershy wasn't gonna let her get away though. "I think I know how I can get you go to sleep," she said with a smirk, then putting the book on top of the table by the lamp. "you just need a lullaby." Dash was getting mad, she was gonna sing to her to sleep like a baby "Hey! I don't need a wuwwapy and I don't need to sweep." she yelled. Fluttershy wasn't listening, she just started singing "Hush now, Quiet now, its time to rest your sleepy head, Hush now, Quiet now, it's time to go to bed." Rainbow could feel her eyes turning into weights, she struggled to keep them opened but the song was getting to her fast "Fwuttewshy stop your making me sweepy..." But she didn't stop "Hush now, Quiet now its time you lay your sleepy head. Hush now, Quiet now, it's time to go to bed." she kept singing until she saw Rainbow's eyes close on last time and hear her lightly snore, she nuzzled the top of Rainbow's mane then turned off the lights. "Good night Rainbow dash." then she fell asleep. > Startting the day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning, Fluttershy was the first to wake up, she yawned and looked down her side to see Rainbow Dash curled up against her belly still snoozing, she smiled, very carefully she lifted up off of her bed so Dash could still sleep and went down stairs to start the day. When she made it downstairs, where she was greeted by a not so pleasant sight, she forgot about the mess Rainbow and Angel made last night, water is still on the floor and sponges were everywhere "Oh my, looks like I got some cleaning to do." she said, she went into the kitchen then came back with a mop and bucket, "Okay, let's get started." *** Back upstairs, Rainbow Dash was starting to wake up, she yawned and rubbed the rest of her sleep from her little eyes, she looked around to see she was alone, for some reason she didn't feel too comfortable to be alone. 'Why does everything looks so...big and scary?' she shook her head of the foolish thought refusing to be scared, 'No this isn't scary...why would I even think that way?' she just shrugged and continued to look around for somepony. When she realized she was completely alone she started calling for Fluttershy "Fwuttewshy, where are you?!" she yelled, she kept yelling until Fluttershy finally came. "Oh you're awake." she said, coming up to the side of the bed and looking at rainbow. "Yeah I'm awake, what took you so long?!" she complained, she was then lifted up by Fluttershy. "Hmm, I think somepony's a little cranky today." she said with a little smirk to humor Dash. Dash just pouted, "I'm not cwanky, I'm hungwy." she retorted, then her stomach started to growl. "See!?" Fluttershy then started feeling the bottom of Dash's diaper. "Hungry and a little wet." she giggled. "WHAT?!" she yelled then shifted around in her diaper to feel it, her eyes grew wide, she was right, "NO HOW, I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL IT!!" she yelled again, she felt embarrassed she had wet herself in her sleep like a baby, she could feel her eyes starting to tear up but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't stop them. Fluttershy winced she didn't mean to make her cry, "Oh Rainbow I'm sorry, it's okay, it's not too bad." she said hoping to calm her down. Rainbow didn't listen she just continued crying, 'What's wrong with me,' she thought "I'm Rainbow dash the fastest flyer in Equestria, why am I suddenly acting like a baby crying over a wet diaper?" Then she remembered what Angel said to her yesterday, 'No no no my mind cant be going already, can it?' the thought only mad her want to cry more. Fluttershy was beginning to get worried 'Oh no, could this be my fault she's acting like this?' she thought to herself, she then put Rainbow over her shoulder and started pouncing her. "Aww it's okay, it's okay, I'm sorry, it's not that bad, okay, stop crying." she said in a motherly tone, she didn't want to talk down to her but she had to try something. Rainbow's crying went down to a small sniffle "B-but I wet mysewf." she said with a quiver Fluttershy thought for a minute, "So what? You're Rainbow Dash, there's nothing that bothers you and besides you're a baby right now, so I don't think you really have any control anyway...so it's not you fault." she replied. Rainbow's sniffling finally stop and she smiled a little "Thanks Fwuttewshy, I feel better now." she said Fluttershy then put Rainbow back down on the bed, "Alright let's get that diaper off and then we can get you something to eat." she said, Rainbow nodded then Fluttershy left the room for a few seconds then came back with a clean diaper, baby wipes and powder, "Okay are you ready?" she asked Rainbow. She rubbed the back of her head, "Umm, I guess." she said nervously, she wasn't all to keen on Fluttershy changing her diaper, in fact she didn't think she would be a baby long enough for her to even have to but it was there and it was starting to get uncomfortable. Fluttershy began undoing the taps on her diaper and removing it, she threw it into the trash can in her room. Grabbing the baby wipes she lifted Rainbow's legs and wiped her rear until her coat was clean from the yellow liquid 'Boy is she wet.' she thought to herself, she then got the powder and put it in the new diaper, after that she pulled the diaper under dash and pinned it on "There all done." she proclaimed. Dash sat up and shifted to feel her new diaper, she smiled, suddenly her stomach started growling again, she blushed "Umm, Fwuttershy thanks for changing me but could you get me something to eat pwease?" Fluttershy giggled. "Okay Rainbow, I'll go get you something to eat." she said then went back downstairs to get her something. When she left, Angel jumped into the room and onto the bed with Rainbow, rubbing his eyes just waking up from his sleep "Hey Dash, what was all that noise I heard up here?" he asked Rainbow blushed again "Umm... I was crying over a wet diapie." she replied a little embarrassed. The last of Angel's sleep disappeared and he looked at Rainbow surprised then his look became one of concern. "Well,I would watch the emotions if I was you, that's exactly what happened to my cousin when his mind started going," he warned 'although it shouldn't be going this fast if she got a bigger dose of the poison joke than my cousin...' he thought to himself before he shook his head. "Uhh Angew awe you Okay?" Dash asked worried, for some reason the rabbit went quiet and bowed his head down. Angel looked back up to the foal "Oh what? Oh sorry, I got distracted, well if your okay I'll just go back downstairs and wake up Tank, okay." before she could reply angel jumped of the bed and left for the living room were tank slept. Fluttershy was now back with a bottle full of milk, when she saw Angel leap pass her she and go downstairs she just shrugged and went over to Rainbow. "Okay Dash,here you go. she said sitting down on the bed and showing Dash the bottle. Dash looked up at Fluttershy with a scowl "Weally this is what you bring me, A BOTTWE OF MIWK!?!" she yelled getting really angry. Fluttershy sighed she knew this wasn't going to be easy. "Look Rainbow, I can't give you real food for two reasons, one: you're a foal and foals can only drink milk and two: you don't even have teeth." she said flatly. Rainbow crossed her arms and pouted again. "I dun want to." she protested. "Oooh please Rainbow, just a little bit besides I know your hungry." she pleaded, Rainbow's stomach growled again, she knew if she didn't feed her a normal foals diet she would starve and she also has to make sure she can keep the milk down so she doesn't have to go with 'plan N'. Rainbow looked down 'Darn it, she's right I am hungry,' she thought to herself and sighed "Okay, give me the stuwpid bottwe." Fluttershy smiled and handed the bottle to Rainbow deciding to let her try to feed herself, that decision was then thought over again as she watched Dash struggle and fail to hold the bottle up to her lips, she rolled her eyes and scooted over to Dash and then scooping her up back in her hooves she took the bottle away. She was about to protest until Fluttershy stuck the nibble in her mouth, deciding to complain later she started to suckle, the milk tasted okay but then as soon as it went down it started to come back up, quickly pushing the nibble out she spewed out all the milk. Fluttershy was now scared "Oh no, I was afraid of this!" she said then grabbing a tissue from the box next to her bed, she clean up Rainbow's face. Once she was clean Rainbow then looked back up a her "Wait, what are you talking about?" she asked worried about her reaction to her throwing up. Fluttershy flinched she had said to much "Umm well...Rainbow do you now...how old you are?" she asked deciding she could not hold the truth any longer, she had already taken the potion before coming back upstairs but she had hoped she wouldn't have to do it. Rainbow just shrugged "I don't know one year old?" she answered Fluttershy shook her head "No Rainbow you're...only three months." she said Rainbows jaw dropped "Th-three m-months," she stuttered Fluttershy nodded "but if I'm that old then." her eye grew wide she looked Fluttershy in the eyes "Fwutterwshy what do three month old foals dwink?" she asked a little scared of the answer. Fluttershy blushed "Well....." > 'Plan N' > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow couldn't believe what she just heard, Fluttershy just explained what Zecora said to her and what she needed to do to keep Rainbow healthy, she also told her about the potion and that she already took it. Rainbow just sat there and looked at her best friend with a shocked expression on her face, eyes wide open and her jaw dropped, it took what felt like hours before she responded. "No, No, NOOOOO! Fwuttewshy pwease don't b-b-bweast feed me!" she pleaded praying to Celestia that Fluttershy would reconsider. Fluttershy shook her head, "No Rainbow, this is the only way for you to be able to eat and not throw up everywhere." she said flatly. Rainbow was starting to panic, she was going to be fed like a new born foal and she knew Fluttershy would succeed because she surely didn't have the strength to fight back, thinking quickly she tried to think of a reason to stop this madness, "Fwuttewshy wait, couldn't we twy the bottle again pwease?" she pleaded with big puppy eyes. Fluttershy shook her head again. "No, you already tried three times and every single time you just threw it up." she said Looking at the three tissues she used to clean her up in the trash can. "and besides I'm getting tired of cleaning you up." Rainbow was getting mad now, "No! Not in Tartarus no!" she yelled then rolled over onto her belly and started rapidly flutter her tiny wings. Fluttershy sighed "Dash you know as well as I do that those wings aren't gonna take you-" she was cut off, when she saw Rainbow Dash start to hover...fast "Hey wait a minute!" she yelled. But Dash didn't listen, instead taking this opportunity she took to the air and raced downstairs. Fluttershy watched were she saw Rainbow exit for a minute in disbelief, then she shook her head. "RAINBOW DASH! get back here." she yelled and took of downstairs after the foal. **** Downstairs Angel and Tank were sitting on the couch watching the chaos unfold before their eyes, Rainbow Dash would zoom right past them and into the kitchen with Fluttershy high on her tail and they would come back and zoom back upstairs, the pattern went on what felt like hours. Tank looked at Angel. "Shouldn't we do something?" he asked Angel shook his head. "Nahh, whatever the problem is they can handle it themselves, my dad always said to 'stay out of female trouble as much as possible' and besides I'm sure it's not that serious." he said then sat back and watched as the two fly around like mad ponies. Tank looked back at the mare and foal flying around in a epic chase, he just shrugged and laid back down with his old friend to watch the carnage. Rainbow flew as fast as her wings could carry her but she knew she couldn't fly like this for much longer, her wings were so small now and her own body being weaker she would have to stop and rest, but if she does then Fluttershy will get her, she shook her head. 'No I wont let her get me, I'm Rainbow Dash, nopony can catch me.I just have to find a exit.' she thought to herself. While Rainbow Dash was thinking to herself,Fluttershy was thinking her own thoughts.'Oh no, I have to catch her,I know she doesn't want to, hey I don't either but if she doesn't get something in her belly she may let herself starve, I can't let that happen no matter what I have to keep her safe, even if I have to force her to eat.' She started going faster to end it. Rainbow looked back to see Fluttershy catching up. "Oh no!" she yelled, she started looking around franticly for a way out, right in front of her she found a open window, she smiled and put her wings in full gear. "Finally, almost there." she said excited she was now just inches from freedom "YEAH!" she screamed in triumph. Suddenly there was a tug on her tail and her wings went stiff she started falling but stopped by whatever was holding her tail, she looked up to see Fluttershy with the end of her tail with said tail in her mouth, in response Dash started screaming. Fluttershy just ignored her and made her way back up stairs with the foal by her tail. Tank and Angel watched as Fluttershy took Rainbow back upstairs, Angel grew a smirk and looked at the tortoise. "Ha pay up pal." he said. Tank sigh and went in to his shell seconds later he popped back out with a carrot in his mouth and handed it to Angel. Angel took the carrot and placed it in his mouth like a cigar and leaned back. **** Back upstairs, Fluttershy put the still crying Rainbow on the bed and locked the door to her bed room so she can't escape again. She got on top of the bed and laid right next to Rainbow, she tried to crawl away but then was pulled back by Fluttershy hooves, she looked back up at Fluttershy with big puppy eyes. "Pwease, Fwuttewshy don't." she pleaded. Fluttershy shook her head again "I'm doing this for your own good Dashie," she said in a worried tone "besides do you really want to starve to death or get sick?" "But that won't happen!" she protested. Fluttershy face grew serious. "But what if it does?" Rainbows flinched, Fluttershy sighed. "I'm just trying to look out for you Dashie." She said then nuzzled the top of Dash's head, "If you were to starve or get sick from the formula, how do you think I would feel about that?" she asked. Rainbow winced, she knew better than anypony else that Fluttershy was very sensitive and if she was to get sick or worse she would blame herself and do something rash, Rainbow sighed "Okay I-I'll do it." she said. Fluttershy pulled Dash to the side of her belly and rolled over on her side revealing her two 'treasures' she pushed Rainbow up to her belly and waited for her to start. Rainbow gulped and looked at the two nibbles, she breathed and closing her eyes she quickly latched on too a teat causing a squirt of milk to enter her mouth, her eyes flew open, the milk tasted...good...really good, before she even knew it she started to steadily suckle Fluttershy's teat. 'This isn't so bad,' she thought to herself. 'it almost feels....' she shook her head of the thought before it could finish. Fluttershy was surprised at how calm Rainbow got when she started suckling but then just shrugged and laid down and waited for her to finish feeding. It felt weird for Fluttershy to be nursing her best friend....but at the same time it also felt natural, that made Fluttershy shake her head 'No that isn't normal, it's weird and you and Rainbow should never speak of this again.' she thought to herself. It took Fifteen minutes before Dash got full of Fluttershy's milk, when she was done she sat up and watched as Fluttershy got up too, the two just sat there for what seemed like hours, until Fluttershy asked "Umm so how was it....being nursed? Rainbow blushed. "Umm, it was ok, but I don't think I could get used to it." she replied, even though a part of her mind is saying other wise. Fluttershy sighed in relief. "But you could do it for a while can you?" she asked, so she doesn't have to worry about Dash running away from her when it's feeding time again if this thing doesn't were off by then. She nodded "I guess so, but I onwy do it until I'm big again then we never speak of this again." she said. Fluttershy giggled. "Okay, deal." she replied, then something came to mind. "Now there's only one left thing to do." she said jumping of the bed. Rainbow looked at her curious "What do we have to do now." she asked Fluttershy looked back at Rainbow dash with a smile. "We're going to tell the other girls about your condition." she replied Rainbow's eyes grew so wide they could have popped out of her head, today is gonna be a long day. > A day in the town > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy was trotting through the streets of Ponyville with Rainbow in the foal carrier who kicking her hooves and fussing. "Fwuttewshy why do I have to come? Can't I stay back at the cottage with Angew?" she asked. Fluttershy shook her head "No, I need you as proof, if I just went and told them that you turned into a baby they would think I'm as crazy as Pinkie Pie." she replied. Rainbow Dash crossed her arms and pouted. They decided to go to Sugar Cube Corner to see if their friends were there. **** When they arrived they saw all there friends, at a table at the end of the store, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle and next to Twilight was a baby stroller. When Fluttershy got to the table she was warmly greeted by all her friends "Hey Girls." she said. "Howdy Sugar Cube, what's with the foal carrier you got a little filly with you or something?" Applejack asked. "Oh well sorta, I'll show you but you all have to promise you won't laugh." she said everyone just shrugged and they all promised to not laugh. Then Fluttershy turned for everypony to see Rainbow Dash hang from the foal carrier. Rainbow rubbed the back of her head and had a sheepish smile. "Umm, hey girws." she said, everpony's jaw had dropped so low they could have hit the table, Pinkie's did hit the table. When everypony recovered from the shock, they all gather around Fluttershy and asked alot questions. Fluttershy told them what happen to her and Rainbow Dash, from yesterday to now, of course she left out the nursing part when she finished. Everypony was worried for Dashie. Except Pinkie who was just pouncing. "Don't worry Dashie, you'll probably change back soon. But until then we can all enjoy how much of a cutie pie you are." she cooed. "I agree darling you can even help me with a new fashion line I'm making for small foals." Rarity said, her fashion senses kicking in. Rainbow blushed "Thanks girls but I don't plan on being this way for long." she said hoping Rarity would drop the dress up plan, she wasn't about to be turned into a doll Twilight giggled at how her friends are acting then she had her own idea. "Hey, maybe you would like a playmate," she then went over to her stroller when she came back she was holding a grumpy looking foal her coat was blue and her mane was silver, "say hello to Dash, Trixie." Trixie took one look at dash and laughed "Ha, ha what happened Wainbow Cwash, you messed up again?" she teased. Twilight looked at her with a scowl. "What did I say about manners Trixie?" she said. Trixie just crossed her arms and mumbled. Rainbow crossed her arms too "I never want her as a pwaymate," she said flatly. Twilight giggled. She looked at Fluttershy. "I would you like me to try to make a cure for Rainbow Dash?" she asked. Rainbow dash looked up at Twilight with a big smile, "Weally Twiwight, you can change me back?" she asked kicking her hooves excited. "Well maybe, I'll have to get a sample of this red poison joke you described first, I'll start on it as soon as possible but until then," she paused to poke Rainbows belly with a free hoof, Rainbow couldn't help but to giggle at sudden the pressure to her chubby belly. "I wouldn't mind having a little fun with this first." she said with a sinister grin. "Yeah and I have the perfect most amazing idea." Pinkie said with her own big grin across her face, she then whispered something into Fluttershy and Twilight's ears so they can hear but Rainbow and Trixie can't. Twilight giggled "Oh Pinkie that is an evil idea, I'm in." she replied Fluttershy thought about it for a minute "Okay, but if I don't like what happens to Dash I'm gone." she said. Pinkie smile grew, if that was possible "Great ill see you both tomorrow then." she said as she hopped back into her seat. Rainbow Dash looked up at Fluttershy. "What wewe you thwee talking about Fwuttewshy?" she asked. Fluttershy looked at Dash. "Oh, nothing you have to worry about." she replied and took a seat by their friends. They chatted for a long while and were having fun, little did they know from the other side of the store that a lone figure was watching them and had heard every word they said but her attention was mostly on Rainbow Dash, the figure got up out of his/hers seat and exited Sugar Cube Corner. **** Luna's moon was now high in the sky and stores were closing for the night. Everypony said there good byes to Rainbow and Fluttershy and made there own way home for the day and Fluttershy flew her way back to her little cottage, Dash had fallen asleep on the flight home and was quietly snoozing. When Fluttershy saw her home insight she started her decent right in front of the door she sighed it was good to be home. And if Angel did what he was suppose to do while she was gone that would make her day complete. Suddenly Rainbow Dash was starting to wake up, with a big yawn she looked to see that they were home. "Oh good we'we here." she said. Fluttershy looked down at Rainbow "Yep." she said and opened the door, she went inside closed the door behind her and went over to the couch and sat down. She took Rainbow out of the foal carrier and sat her down next to her. "Well it's been a long day, did you have fun Rainbow Dash?" she asked "Yeah I guess, but I didn't like it when everypony poked my belly." Dash said. Fluttershy smirked "Oh but Dashie they couldn't help it your just to cute...in fact," she suddenly jumped right over on top of Rainbow. "your so cute I could just eat you up." she giggled and blew into Dash's belly. Rainbow laughed her head off. "F-fwuttewshy s-stop that tickwes." she stuttered but she didn't stop there. Fluttershy then started pinching her hooves, she knew she was super ticklish there, she was rewarded with louder screams from Rainbow. Fluttershy let go off Rainbow when she was so satisfied that she had enough, it took a few minutes for Dash to compose herself to speak "Heh, Fwuttewshy why did you do that?" she asked. Fluttershy stopped giggling. "Because it was so fun to hear you scream like that." she said Rainbow pouted. "It wasn't so fun to me." she retorted and bowed her head. Fluttershy flinched she didn't mean to make her sad again. "Oh, Rainbow Dash I'm sorry I didn't-" she was got of by Dash's little hoof poking her nose. "Boop, I got you." she giggled. Fluttershy smiled. "Ha, ha okay you got me," she looked up at the clock and saw it was getting late. "Okay, I think it time to go to bed now." she said. Rainbow pouted. "Aww, but I'm not sweepy." she protested, she was then lifted up off the couch. Fluttershy shook her head "No Dash, it's late and besides I have a surprise for you upstairs." she said and flew up to her room. Rainbow Dash looked at her. "A surprise, what kind of surprise?" she asked but Fluttershy didn't answer when they reached her room Rainbow saw her 'surprise' was Angel and Tank but what was behind them was what had her attention on the other side of the pets, was a crib "Umm, Fwuttewshy pwease don't tell me that I have to sweep in that cwib." she pleaded. She nodded "Yes you do Rainbow." she said flatly. "But I..." she paused. "But what Rainbow?" she asked. Rainbow looked at Fluttershy with big eyes. "But I was starting to like sleeping with you." she said. Fluttershy was shocked "Really?" she said Rainbow nodded, the thought about this for a moment before saying. "Well I guess you can sleep with me one more night." Rainbow smiled "Can we read Daring Do now?" she asked Fluttershy giggled. "Okay let's read." she said and laid down on her bed, then she took the book and went to the last chapter. "Okay, chapter 6." **** Somewhere near the entrance of the Everfree Forest, somepony was exiting the forest with a big burlap sack and a dirty shovel. This pony was the same pony who was watching Dash and her friends at Sugar Cube Corner. "You better look out Rainbow Dash because when the time is right ill get my revenge." The figure said and left for who knows where. > To the park! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning. Fluttershy woke up to the smell of something foul, she sniffed the air but couldn't, place the smelled. "What is that awful smell!?" she asked, she kept sniffing the foul air until she found its source, Rainbow dash who was sleeping under her wing, she put a hoof up to her nose, "Oh...my." she said. Rainbow was starting to wake up to the foul smell as well, she shook her head before looking up to Fluttershy. "Hey Fwuttewshy, what's dat smell?" she asked. Fluttershy still had her hoof to her nose. "It's you Rainbow Dash." she replied. "I think you had an 'accident' in your sleep." Rainbow sniffed the air then shifted a little in her diaper, to feel something squish against her bottom, discovering her 'accident' made her eyes tear up. Before she could cry Fluttershy picked her up and cooed to her. "It's okay Rainbow, come on, I'll change you, okay." she said. Rainbow simply nodded. Fluttershy carried Rainbow over to the changing table that Angel and Tank made last night along with the crib and started changing Dash's dirty diaper. When she unpinned the diaper and opened it she was instantly hit full force by the terrible smell. "Oh man Dashie, you did a number on this one huh." she said while holding her nose. Dash pouted. "I didn't mean to..." she whimpered. "I know you didn't," Fluttershy said. "but you don't have control, remember? So don't feel bad about it okay." lifting Dash's legs up she pulled the dirty diaper from under her and threw it into the trash bin, she then went under the changing table to get some baby wipes then taking one of the wipes she started cleaning Rainbows rear. Rainbow shivered at the contact of the could wipes against her. "Oh I bet that's cold, don't worry I'm almost done." she said, when she was satisfied that her backside was clean. She threw the dirty wipe away and pulled out a clean diaper, taking the baby powder from the side of the table she sprinkled some into the diaper to insure Rainbow won't get a rash, she then slided the diaper under her rear and pinned the new diaper on. When she was done she backed away to admire her work. "There how do you feel now, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked. Dash leaned up to feel her rear once again in comfort she smiled "I feew bettew now, thank you, Fwuttewshy." she said, suddenly her stomach started growling. Fluttershy blushed. "I guess that means you're hungry huh?" she asked. Rainbow blushed too knowing what would this lead to. "Umm yeah, I guess I am a widdwe hungwy." she replied nervously. Fluttershy picked Dash back up and carried her to the bed she laid down with Rainbow against her chest she moved her to her teats. When Rainbow saw the teat she clamped on without complaint and started nursing. She couldn't help but smile a little, it was still weird to be nursing from her best friend it felt weird to even be nursing at all, but it also felt right at the same time she didn't know why but either way she was liking this, although it was probably best she didn't tell Fluttershy though. When Fluttershy felt Rainbow clamp onto her without complaint she was surprised she was even more surprised to see Rainbow smiling. 'Is she enjoying this?' she thought to herself. She then thought of something she may have been liking this as well because now she got to be something she always wanted to be...a mother, she shook her head at that thought. 'No, I can't be thinking like that' she looked down at Rainbow who was still suckling. 'No matter how much I would like to keep her... she has to be changed back no matter what. Besides what would you get from having a child? She probably doesn't want to be here any longer than she has to anyway.' she thought. When Rainbow finally finished suckling, Fluttershy lifted her back up and flew downstairs, when they got downstairs the were greeted by Tank and Angel who where resting on the couch. "Okay are you ready, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked. Rainbow looked up at here with one eyebrow raised "Weady for what Fwuttewshy?" she asked. Fluttershy smiled. "To go to the park." she replied. Rainbow still looked at her with a questionable look. "This doesn't have to do anything with Pinkie Pie does it?" she asked "No, not at all, I promise." she replied innocently, while crossing her feathers behind her back. Rainbow thought about it for a minute. "Mmm Okay I'll go." she said. **** Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy along with Angel and Tank who also wanted to come, were now sitting together on a bench in the park. Fluttershy for some reason wanted to sit at the bench even though they haven't been there for more than five minutes, she still insisted that they take a seat at the bench for a little while. Rainbow looked up from the stroller she was riding in, at Fluttershy who was looking around the park for something. "Hey Fwuttewshy what you wooking for?" she asked. Fluttershy stopped her searching to look down at Rainbow in the foal stroller. "Oh. Uuh nothing, Rainbow." she replied. "Is it okay if me and Angew and Tank, go play?" Rainbow asked, just sitting there on the bench was no fun and she was getting board. Fluttershy thought about it for a moment "Okay, but stay close, okay and you two keep an eye on her, alright?" she said pointing to Angel and Tank. Both the pets nodded in unison and unstrapping Rainbow out of the stroller the three made their way into the park, but made sure not go to far as to not worry the mare. When they left Fluttershy continued her search for the real reason they came to the park today. She kept looking until she saw a certain purple mare trot up the path rolling a stroller, Fluttershy waved. "Hey Twilight!" she yelled. Twilight trotted over to her friend. "Hi Fluttershy are you ready for today?" she asked. Fluttershy nodded. "Yep all we have to do is waiting for Pinkie now." she replied. "Excuse me but the Gweat and Powewful Twixie does not wike to be ignored." said Trixie from within Twilight's stroller looking up at the two mares. Fluttershy made herself eye leveled with Trixie. "Hello Trixie, how are you today?" she asked. "Trixie wishes to know why you are here and did you bring that stupid crash pony Rainbow Dash?" she asked avoiding Fluttershy's question. Fluttershy ignored the 'crash pony' part and answered. "Yes she's right over there." she said then pointed to Dash and the pets who were playing a game of hide and seek. Trixie started wiggling in her seat. "Twiwight wet me out of this seat!" she demanded. Twilight raised one brow. "What did we say?" she said sternly. Trixie sighed, looking up at Twilight with pleading eyes. "Pwease." she said. Twilight smiled and magically unstrapped Trixie out of the stroller. "Okay that's better, but you better be good to other ponies and don't be rude okay." she warned. Trixie nodded and crawled over to where Rainbow and the others were. When Rainbow saw Trixie coming she started grinding her would be teeth together. "What are you doing hewe Twixie?" she asked with a little hate behind the words. Trixie raised her hooves in defense. "Hey don't get aww cwanky on me, Twiwight bwought me hewe for some reason said there was a suwpwise today." "Okay so what do you want?" she asked, still a little angry by Trixie's presents. Trixie rubbed the back of her head a little before answering. "Umm I was hoping you would...let me play with you guys." Rainbow raised a brow. "Sewiously?" she said astonished. Trixie nodded. "Yes, I don't weally know anypony hewe and it would be nice to be in the same boat with someone I know, mowe or less." Rainbow thought for a moment, Trixie was being truthful, but she's still Trixie but I she didn't let her play Fluttershy may get mad at her, although she didn't know why that would make her uneasy. "Uhh okay you can play with us, but you have to be nice or I'll tell Twilight." she said. Trixie nodded, the games began again. Back over with Fluttershy and Twilight, they were chatting and watching the foals play, until a the very pink pony they've been waiting for finally arrived trotting up the path. "Hey girls," Pinkie said excitedly. "are you ready for 'Plan PD' to begin?" "Yep." replied Twilight. Fluttershy nodded. "We're ready when you are Pinkie." "Alright, Applejack should be here soon with Rarity and the next part of the plan, until then we just wait." Pinkie Pie said and just remembered about her other guest. "Oh I also brought the Cakes for a little fun." she then turned around so Fluttershy and Twilight could see the two cooing foals in the foal carrier, Pound and Pumpkin Cake. Twilight and Fluttershy D'aww at the adorable foals. "Okay," Pinkie said and turned back to face her friends "let operation PlayDate commence!" > The Playdate > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash was having fun, playing with Angel, Tank and surprisingly Trixie, at first she thought Trixie would cheat or complain or even worst start boasting about how great and powerful she is but she's actually been pretty good sport, she played fair and most importantly she didn't boast...most of the time. Right now they were in the middle of hide and seek with Rainbow hiding under a bush and Trixie trying to find her, she had caught Angel and Tank who were now sitting on the grass watching as Trixie looked for Dash. Angel looked away for a minute to see three very familiar mares coming right towards them, "This cant be good." he said. Tank looked over to see what the rabbit was talking about and he winced when he saw the pink one "Should we warn Rainbow and Trixie?" he asked "Do you want to be the one to face those three when if it comes to that." Angel replied pointing to the approaching mares. Tank thought about it for a second, then shook his head. "Trixie, Rainbow come here for a minute." Twilight called, Trixie crawled to Twilight and Rainbow popped out of the bush she was in and crawled along with Trixie, when they got in front of Twilight, they noticed that she wasn't alone. "Hey Twilight why is Pinkie here?" Rainbow asked. But it was Pinkie who answered, "Oh I'm here for, the playdate." she said sinisterly. "ITS A TWAP!!" Trixie yelled and both her and Rainbow tried to crawl away, only for both to be caught in Twilight's magic. "Oh come on girls it'll be fun." Twilight in courage. "Yeah it'll be tons of fun, all are friends will be here, there'll be a picnic and look I brought the cake twins." Pinkie said, then she turned around to show the two foals Pound and Pumpkin cakes in the carrier. Rainbow looked at Fluttershy, who had been quiet this whole time with a sad expression, "Fwuttewshy you told me that this didn't have anything to do with Pinkie pie." she wined. Fluttershy winced at Rainbow's wyning, she didn't like lying but she knew Rainbow wouldn't come if she told her about the playdate, "Umm I'm sorry Dashie but they made me do it." she said pointing to the two mares beside her. "Twiwight you knew about this too!?" Trixie yelled more mad than worried. Twilight nodded "Yes, I thought it would help you become more friendly with other ponies." she said flatly. "Hey it'll be alright okay, this'll be fun." Pinkie said pouncing in place. Rainbow and Trixie just crossed their arms. "Okay all we have to do now is wait for Applejack and Rarity with the other part of the plan." Pinkie said then spreading a picnic blanket on the ground from out of no were. Both Foals looked at her questionably "Appwejack and Warity, there coming too why!?" Rainbow said. Pinkie pie smiled "You'll see." she giggled "So what now?" asked Trixie, still suspended in the air with Rainbow by Twilights magic. "Well until Applejack and Rarity come back you girls can keep playing by yourselves." Twilight replied "Yeah because this playdate's all about fun," Pinkie said while pouncing, "and we just came over here to tell you and drop of the cakes and play with you." she then started unstrapping the twins from the foal carrier and dropping the to the ground. The Twins looked at Trixie and Rainbow hovering in the air and giggled Then they started crawling to them. Both Trixie and Rainbow look at Twilight with a pleading look. Twilight smirked, she knew they didn't wanted to be treated like baby's and play with other foals but they didn't have a choice and she had to admit watching Trixie suffer like this is was really cute and she could learn a bit about friendship from this so, she then lowered the two foals back to the ground and too there fate and she and the other mares left to prepare for the others. When they reached the ground, Rainbow looked at the Twins who were now sitting right in front of them, she wasn't sure what to do other than her and Trixie these two foals where actually foals, how could this end, what will this do to her mind, it was all ready shriveling enough like Angel said. "Hi Twixie." said one of the cake twins, Pumpkin. Rainbow jaw dropped "Did I just hear her talk and say your name!?" she said and pointed to Trixie. She nodded "Yes I pwayed with the cakes once before and yes they can tawk to us because if you haven't forgotten, where foals too." Trixie said. "Yep that's right nun of the aduwts can understand us weww except you two it seems but we can understand each other." Pound cake said. Rainbow nodded "Okay that makes sense, I guess." "Sooo," Pumpkin said changing the subject, "what do you guys wanna do?" she asked All of them thought for a moment. "Hey would any of you like to race!?" Pound asked. Rainbow's eyes widened in excitement "Race!" "Yeah my brother likes to fly around and mess with Pinkie and have her chase him around like a race." Pumpkin giggle "Okay are you in or not?" Pound said already getting anxious. "I'm in!!" Rainbow replied with determination. "Okay see that tree over there," Pound said pointing to a tree on the other side of the field not to far and close enough that Fluttershy and the others probably wouldn't be worried, "Will race to that tree and back okay." Everypony nodded, when they where ready Rainbow and Pound where side by side waiting for the starter who was Trixie and Pumpkin cake on the side line. Trixie and Pumpkin counted down in unison "Ready...Set...Go!!!" they yelled Rainbow dash and Pound cake took off both hovering there little wings as fast as they can, Rainbow dash was behind Pound but she wasn't going to for long, moving her wings faster she gained the lead. They were coming up to the tree now and Pound was still behind, Rainbow was confident that she would win, when they flew all around the tree they made the final dash back to Trixie and Pumpkin, Suddenly Pound cake zoomed right past Rainbow. "Dang it, he most have been saving strength for the final dash!" Rainbow said, flapping faster than she has ever done before she took off after her opponent who was now half way to the finish line, she felt tired now from going that fast with such small wings and little strength it was so much easier when she was big but now, "Oh no I-I cant make it I'm gonna lose!" "Don't give up!" somepony yelled, Dash looked around to see who said that, she looks to the finish line and see's Fluttershy "Don't give up Rainbow, your the best flyer in Equstria prove it!!" she yelled. Rainbow felt a boost in confidence and again went into a mad dash for the finish line, she was now next to Pound cake and trying to take the lead but thanks to his reserved strength he kept up. "Come on Rainbow its now or never." she said to herself then with her last once of strength she blasted right past Pound and closed the gap between her and the goal and winning the race. Fluttershy and the other foals screamed and clapped for her victory, behind her Pound was just crossing out of breath and breathing heavily "H-Hey g-good...job." he weezed. Rainbow nodded in response, she was laying on the ground worn out but smiled knowing she's still the best she was then picked up into a tight hug by Fluttershy. "I'm pround of you Rainbow." she said tightening her hug but not enough to suffocate her. Rainbow returned the embrace by hugging her neck, knowing she was proud of her made her feel really good inside. Then just as the embrace began it ended and Fluttershy lowered Rainbow back to the ground with the other foals "Okay I just wanted to check on all of you to see if you needed anything." she said Rainbow puffed up her cheeks in a little heated anger at that comment, "Come on Fwuttewshy not all of us are baby's you know!" she retorted. Fluttershy just giggled and left to join back with the other mares. When she left Pumpkin looked at Rainbow "Your mommy seems nice." she said. "Huh?" Rainbow said confused. "Your mommy she's nice." Pumpkin said again Rainbow waved her hooves, "No, no, no she's not my mom she my friend." she protested. Pumpkin tilted her head now being the one confused "Wait but you two seemed to show so much love for each other, don't you feel something about her." Rainbow thought about that for a minute, her and Fluttershy, Mother and Child no way that's impossible there friends but then why does she feel so different around her now, she questioned this for what seemed like forever until it finally dawned on her, the love she was getting from Fluttershy was...the same she felt from her real mother before she past away. Back over were the mares where Fluttershy, Twilight and Pinkie were waiting for the others, Twilight had her nose in a book that she had so that left Pinkie to talk with Fluttershy. "So how are you and Rainbow doing with your 'little' problem?" Pinkie asked Fluttershy shrugged "Good I guess, Rainbow's fine so that's all that matters." she replied Pinkie looked at her then at the foals who were still just sitting on the grass then back at her "How do you think of Rainbow now." she said in her usual happy way. Fluttershy looked at her confused "What do you mean?" she asked. "You know do you think of her as your daughter now?" Pinkie said. She was shocked "No! I mean I don't think so, maybe?" she rambled then she thought about it for a minute, she didn't know what to think but she also felt like she already knew the answer, she thought and thought until it came to her, in a way she really did feel like Rainbow. Was her daughter, before she could think about this any further she was interrupted by Pinkie screaming. "Oh, oh, oh there here, there here" Pinkie screamed. Coming up the path was Applejack and Rarity along with three small fillies. Pinkie's smile grew wider if that was possible "The next face of the plan the CMC." > CMC BABYSITTERS OH NO! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applejack and Rarity were tasked with probably the hardest job in the world, to bring the most dangers, most imaginative, most mischievous and adorable foals in all Equestria to a picnic, The Cutie Mark, Applebloom, Sweetie bell and Scootaloo were running around them giggling and hopping in excitement, when they were told that there was going to be a picnic at the park, they were like that for the whole trip across town to the park. When they made it to the park both Applejack and Rarity sighed in relief "Okay girls where here and look theirs Pinkie and the others." said Applejack then pointed to there friends. The CMC ran straight for the other mares leaving Applejack and Rarity in the dust, when the reach them they asked a bunch of questions. "Hey everypony how y'all doin." "Hey are there going to be games?" "Is there going to be food?" "Are we celebrating something?" The questions went on until they managed to calm the fillies down, when everpony was calm everypony was sitting down and talking to one another all except Scootaloo who seemed distracted, she was looking around for something. She looked at Fluttershy "Hey Fluttershy do you know were Rainbow Dash is I thought she would be here?" Fluttershy froze should she tell the CMC about Rainbows 'problem' and if she did what would they do. Before Fluttershy could think of anything to say Pinkie answered for her "Hey Scootaloo, I could take you to Rainbow and I can take your friends to her too if you want." Before anypony could say anything she Grabbed all the CMC's and pounced away into the direction Rainbow and the other foals were. Rainbow and the other foals had been playing for quiet a while and had just finished a game of tag, they were sitting to rest for a minute until suddenly Trixie saw Pinkie pie pouncing towards them and she wasn't alone, "Oh my goddess" Trixie said Rainbow looked at Trixie "What's wong Twixie?" she asked then she looked in the direction Trixie was looking in and she saw Pinkie and the CMC "Oh no! OH NO!" she yelled, she didn't want Scootaloo to see her not like this she and Scoots ever sense their last camping trip with Rarity and Applejack they have been close like real sisters and Scootaloo Really looked up to here, "I cant let her see me!" she flew right into a bush right next to her to hide Pinkie pounced right in front of Trixie with the fillies raped in her hooves "Hi Trixie, hey do you know were Rainbow is." she asked. Trixie looked nervously around, not for Rainbow but for a way out, if PInkie planed on leaving the most chaotic fillies to watch them than she would prefer to be back at Twilights hiding in her crib, "Umm, no Pinkie I don't think I've seen Rainbow dash any were." she lied, she saw her go into the bush but she wasn't about to snitch her out to these devil's Pinkie looked around for Rainbow until she saw a shaking bush, she smiled and letting the CMC down from her iron grip hold she went over to the bush jumped up and canon balled in, there was a lot of shaking and rustling from the bush and the CMC were watching to see what Pinkie was doing, when she popped back out she had a rainbow mane foal in her hooves. "Here she is, Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie said and smiled came back over to the girls with the squirming Rainbow and laid her down on the ground for all to see. Scootaloo couldn't believe what she was looking at this foal looked just like Rainbow, she had the mane, she had her coat color, "Rainbow Dash is that you!?" she said in shock. Rainbow didn't look up at her, she didn't want to disappoint her anymore than she already has she really felt like crying like the age she was, suddenly she felt small hooves pick her up. "OH MY GOSH! Rainbow your adorable!" Scoots yelled hugging Rainbow. "What?" Rainbow said confused. "Well yeah I mean look at you your sooo cute!" Sweetie bell said. Rainbow was shocked but also relived to here that Scootaloo wasn't ashamed of her. "Yep your definitely cute," Applebloom commented, then she had a great Idea, "Hey girls huddle up to me." the other two did what she said and they formed a circle, they whispered and talked and then all three quickly turned to Pinkie pie. "Hey pinkie is it alright if we babysit the foals for the rest of the picnic?" Scootaloo asked. The words that came out of her mouth made both Trixie and Rainbow freeze in fear, the only good thing that would come out of them watching them would be an early death. Pinkie thought about it for a second and said, "Sure why not, you can watch Rainbow dash and Trixie but I'll be taking the cakes if you don't mind." she then picked up the cakes and put them on her back and pounced away leaving Rainbow and Trixie to their fates. Pound and Pumpkin cakes looked back at Rainbow and Trixie who most likely they will never see again "Good bye Wainbow, Twixie, will never forget you." Pumpkin yelled. Trixie and Rainbow looked up at their 'Babysitters' who all had big smiles on their faces. "Wainbow." "Yeah, Twixie?" "Are we gonna die?" "Most wikely." The CMC took a deep breath and yelled "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS, BABYSITTERS YAY!!!" Both the remaining foals tried to crawl away but were immediately stopped by hooves. "So what do Babysitters do exactly?" Sweetie bell asked holding Trixie who was squirming a little in her grip. "I don't know I never took care of a baby before." Scootaloo said holding Rainbow. "I know," Applebloom replied and came up to Rainbow "do you still feel like playing." "I guess but wets pway something safe okay." Rainbow replied Applebloom smiled "Oh I have the perfect game." she said "This cant be good." Trixie retorted **** "Are you MAD!!" Trixie yelled. They had decided to play a game of Archery, enough said there was now a toy arrow stuck to the tip of Trixie's little horn. "Well I guess that crosses Archery, off our list of how to gain are cutie marks." said Applebloom as she and her friends take off there toy bows and arrows. "Oh you think!" Rainbow said annoyed, she probably got the worst of it prof is her body being cover in toy arrows. "Alright I think that's enough games for today." Scootaloo said having enough of hearing Trixie amd Rainbow scream in terror of a barrage of toy arrows. "Now what?" Sweetie asked. Applebloom thought about it for a moment "Oh I know are ya hungry, we could feed you now if you'd like?" Rainbow rubbed the back of her head nervously "Umm yeah, a wittle." she replied Applebloom smiled "Okay i'll go see if they got anything for y'all to drink." Applebloom went back over to were the mares were, when she came back she had two full bottles of milk, then she hoofed them to her friends to feed the foals. Scootaloo took the bottle and started feeding Rainbow. Rainbow knew Fluttershy had filled this bottle with her milk so she wouldn't spew it back up, how some thing are better left unsaid when she was done she looked down away from Scoots gaze. "What's wrong Rainbow?" Scootaloo asked worried by the expression on her idols face. "Well, its just, you must think I'm some big lame baby now huh." Rainbow said flatly thinking that what she thought of her 'hero' now. "No way!" Scoots replied Rainbow looked up at her surprised. "You maybe a baby now but your still Rainbow Dash the fastest flyer in Equestria and my big or should I say 'little sister' and your still top pony in my book no matter what." she said and hugged her tight. Rainbow returned the embrace with her own hugs then suddenly she started to yawn and rubbed her eye sleepily. Scootaloo giggled "Are you getting sleepy Rainbow?" she asked Rainbow just nodded the warm milk taking hold of her senses. Trixie was also starting to fall asleep. "D'aaaww, that is sooo cute." Sweetie bell cooed. "Come on girls lets take them back to Fluttershy and Twilight." Applebloom said. Once they rejoined the group and handed the foals back to Fluttershy and Twilight, they enjoyed the rest of the afternoon talking and eating the snacks they brought with them and with four foals taking a nap. when it was time to leave, Luna's moon was high in the sky showing the beginning of a long night, Fluttershy was troting her way back home with Rainbow in the foal carrier still sleeping peacefully and Angel and Tank following behind they kept walking until they saw, a strange pony pulling a big burlap sack. They pony had a dark cloak on so Fluttershy couldn't really see the pony but by the looks of it she was having trouble moving the bag, "Umm, do... you need help stranger?" she asked The cloaked figure jumped and looked at Fluttershy surprised but then she quickly calmed down, "No, no thanks I don't need help but thanks." she said then she noticed the foal she had "Umm hey...c-cute kid you got there." Fluttershy smiled "Thank you well if you don't need help i'll be on my way bye." she said and took off down the with her pet friends right behind her. The Stranger smirked "Soon Rainbow, I'm going to destroy your, life just like you destroyed mine no one messes with Lightning Dust." she said and took her bag full of revenge away. > Kiddy pool > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Morning. Fluttershy was feeding her animals with a little help, from little Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy would throw the pellets of food on the ground. While Rainbow would reach in the bag and hoof feed the animals, Rainbow decided to help Fluttershy as best she could today because there seemed to be a lot more animals than usual and she wanted to do something than sit on her patted behind. Fluttershy giggled when she saw Rainbow feeding a little baby rabbit, she thought Rainbow would have a hard time feeding the animals so she only let her feed the little ones like baby rabbits, squirrels and other small animals. She looks so cute trying to reach into the bag and feed the little critters, she couldn't help but to smile. Then she started to get the feeling of wanting her as her own child, again. 'No Fluttershy she is your friend and nothing more, she has her own life to live and when she changes back you'll both forget this ever happened." she thought. Ever since that talk with Pinkie yesterday she's been thinking nonstop about Rainbow and the more she tried to refuse the thought the more it seamed to fight back. Suddenly there was a yelp and crashing sound. Fluttershy looked back over to Rainbow who was now covered in pellets. 'She must have somehow knocked over the bag trying to reach for more pellets.' Fluttershy thought. Just as suddenly as the pellets fell on Rainbow a whole bunch of hungry animals circled around her and started licking the pellets off of her and making her scream giggling. "Hey s-stop I-I'm tickwish there d-don't!" she screamed through the relentlessly hungry animals until she felt she was lifted up by a pair of hooves. Fluttershy had hovered over the hoard of animals and reached down to get Rainbow from their clutches. "Okay, let's go back inside." she said and flew back into her home. When they were safe inside they sat on the couch relaxed with Rainbow cuddled up under her Flutters wings. 'What am I going to do?' Rainbow thought to herself she was worried about what Pumpkin Cake mentioned yesterday. 'If I tell Fluttershy how I feel how would it affect our friendship... and what if she agrees?' she shook her head at the dumb thought. "Rainbow, is there something wrong?" Fluttershy asked noticing Rainbow seemed distracted. Rainbow was again focused and looked up at her. "Yeah I'm okay." she said and shifted around a little. Fluttershy raised a brow. "Does somepony need a diaper change?" she asked. Rainbow blushed and nodded. Fluttershy picked her up and took her upstairs to be changed. Once she was changed there was a knock at the door. Fluttershy went to open the door to be met by the Cutie Mark Crusaders. "Hi Fluttershy." the girls said in unison. "Hi girls, what brings you here?" Fluttershy asked. Scootaloo answered. "We wanted to ask if you and Rainbow could come to the lake with us for a swim." Fluttershy thought about it for a minute. "Hmm, I guess if Rainbow would like to go." she said, she turned to Rainbow, "Well?" "Wet's go! Wet's go!" she said excitedly. **** When they got to the lake, the CMC had already set up a spot on the shore and were swimming, splashing and giggling. Rainbow was still with Fluttershy on the shore getting prepped up. Fluttershy thought it was important for her to 'stay safe' so she started rubbing sun screen on her and made her put on some floaties. "Come on Fwuttewshy, I don't need these stupid fwoaties." Rainbow complained. "Yes you do, I don't want you to sink, so you're just going to have to deal with them." Fluttershy said flatly. Rainbow pouted. "They make me look stupid." "No they don't." Fluttershy cooed, she picked up Rainbow and lifted her high up. "You look adorable." Rainbow tried to scowl her but only succeeded in making her look cuter. "Okay, are you ready to swim?" she asked. Rainbow nodded, letting her down Rainbow ran right for the deepest part of the planning on jumping in. But before she could jump in she was again lifted back up by Fluttershy. "Hey, what's the big idea!" Rainbow yelled. "I don't think it would be a good idea for you to be in the deep end the way you are now, Rainbow." Fluttershy said and flew to the shallow end of the pool and lowered her into it, it was summer so the lake was warm. "Oh come on Fwuttewshy, I can still swim, I'm still a big fill-uh mare." Rainbow protested, catching herself before she said 'Filly' instead of 'Mare'. "Okay, if you can show me you can still swim, I'll let you go to the deep end." she said Rainbow felt confident she had it in the bag. She started kicking her hooves to move forward in the water. She noticed how big the pool felt under her hooves and she was in the most shallow end, she kept kicking and kicking but she wasn't going nowhere and fast. She started to feel tired from kicking so much and started to sink until Fluttershy held her to keep her above the water. Fluttershy had lowered herself into the pool when she saw Rainbow start to sink. "Umm, that was just a fluke." Rainbow retorted. "Well 'fluke' or not your not going to the deep end." Fluttershy said flatly. Rainbow pouted again and crossed her arms, suddenly there was a big splash on the other side of the pool. Rainbow looked to see the CMC jumping one by one of a diving board, her eye grew in excitement. "No, Rainbow." Fluttershy said seeing how Rainbow's eyes were growing looking at the diving board. "But I didn't ask for anything." Rainbow said. "I know your going to ask to go off the diving board and the answer is no." Fluttershy said sternly more assertive than usual. That was the last straw for Rainbow, she decided to use the most dangerous weapon known to pony kind; CUTENESS. "Pwease Fwuttewshy, wet me go off the diving boawd." she cooed, showing her big puppy dog eyes and pouting cutely. "NO." she said again Rainbow dropped her act and continued to scowl. "Come on Rainbow we can still have fun," she said. "wait here I'll be right back." then she put Rainbow back down into the shallow water and went back over to there spot. Rainbow looked at Fluttershy leave, she looked at the diving board. "I don't need Fwuttewshy's permission, I'm a gwown up." she said then she started fluttering her wing and flew for the diving board flying right over the head of the crusaders. Scootaloo noticed Rainbow flying over head and said. "Hey Rainbow, you shouldn't be flying. This is a lake there's no flying, there's only swimming." "Is the chicken jealous?" teased Applebloom "What did you say?" Scootaloo retorted. "Oh come on Scootaloo, you know she just joking with you." Sweetie Belle said, not wanting to see another chicken and dictionary fight, she looked to the diving board to see Rainbow Dash jump of the diving board. The splash she made wasn't very big and that disappointed her, but not as disappointing as what happened next, when she tried swimming again she couldn't hold herself up and sank water was filling her lungs. She was panicking until somepony pulled her head above the water, she coughed up water and looked up to see Fluttershy with a stern look on her face. The look of disappointment on her face made Rainbow feel really bad and the pain in her lungs made it even worse. That's the only thing that she could think of doing was cry and that's what she did. When Rainbow started crying Fluttershy started patting her back and flew back over to her spot on the shore and sat down on a bench chair, she kept patting Rainbow until she stopped crying. "You should have listen to me when I said you couldn't go off the diving board." she scorned Rainbow just sniffled. "I'm sowwy mommy." she said. Fluttershy was shocked out of belief. "What did you say?" Rainbow realizes what she just said and panicked. "Umm I, nothing." Fluttershy raised a brow. "Don't lie to me Rainbow." she warned. Rainbow just shifted her gaze. "Okay, we will talk about this later." Fluttershy said then she pulled something out. "Here this was for you to play with." Rainbow looked at the item that Fluttershy went to go get her when she left her alone, it was another spitfire toy but instead of plush it was a bath toy. Rainbow took the rubber Spitfire and squeezed it making a squeaky sound. Fluttershy smiled when she saw how happy Rainbow was to have that bath toy. "Okay are you ready to go back in the pool." she asked Rainbow nodded and they went back into the pool with the Cutie Mark Crusaders asking a few questions if Rainbow was okay, Fluttershy told them she was fine and the rest of the evening went on without any problems. But Rainbow knew when they got home she would have to explain some things and would have to express her feelings. > The Talk:Mother & Child > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When they got home that evening, Fluttershy and Rainbow sat down on the living room coach, exhausted from the fun they had with the CMC, Rainbow felt tired but more than that she was worried ever sense she called Fluttershy 'Mommy' she been very quiet and that made her uneasy. 'Oh no, does she hate me now, does she not want to be my friend anymore, what is she going to say when we talk about what happened at the lake.' she thought to herself, the list of thing to worry going on for what seemed to be forever, she kept thinking until she heard Fluttershy call. "Rainbow." Fluttershy said in a motionless tone. "Y-Yeah?" Rainbow replied nervously. "I want to talk about what happened at th-" "Hey Fwuttewshy I'm hungry." she interrupted before Fluttershy could finish what she wanted to say. Fluttershy look at her with a questionable, "Really?" she said. Rainbow nodded. "Okay than." Fluttershy replied then she rolled onto her belly, exposing her teats to Rainbow. Rainbow quickly crawled over and clamped on to her and began nursing, 'Okay all I have to do is keep nursing until I can figure out something to say.' she thought to herself but what she kept nursing until both of Fluttershy's teats where completely empty of there rich creamy milk but even after all that time nursing she still didn't have anything to say to Fluttershy 'Oh no, what am I going to do." "Are you done?" Fluttershy asked knowing good and well that she was empty in both her teats. Rainbow pretended to yawn hopping Fluttershy would put her down for a nap for the night "Yes and I'm kinda sweepy now, can I take a nap?" she asked. Fluttershy wasn't about to let this slid so she said, "Okay but you have to answer a few questions first." "Actuawwy I'm pwetty tiwed so could it wait till tomowwow." Rainbow pleaded. "Rainbow," Fluttershy said in a serious tone, "we need to talk!" Rainbow kept looking at Fluttershy's assertive expression, she has never seen her this serious before, except for when they went to take care of that dragon, Rainbow didn't know what to do so she did what her brain was screaming for her to do...she told the truth. "Fluttershy, I think of you as my mama!" Rainbow yelled. Fluttershy motion a hoof to go on. "When you take cawe of me, hug me, feed me, wove me, evewy time I feel your embwace, I can feel that same feeling I got when I was with my past pawents," she was now crying her eyes out from her heavy heart, "pwease Fwuttewshy don't hate me all I wanted....was to have a, MOMMY AGAIN!!" she wailed starting to cry louder. Fluttershy picked Rainbow up and put her over her shoulder, "Its okay Rainbow," she cooed, "I feel the exact same way." Rainbow's crying went down to a sniffle then she looked up at Fluttershy with watery eyes, cheeks moist, "*Sniff* Weally?" she asked. Fluttershy smiled, "Yeah, I think I've become attached to you so much sense you become sense you became a baby I think I may have been thinking of you as my daughter," she said then nuzzling Rainbow's cheek, "in fact I would like to make a proposal." Rainbow made a curious look but a bit excited, "What?" she asked "Until you change back would you like to call me Mommy?" Fluttershy asked "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!" Rainbow replied excitedly then hugged Fluttershy's neck as tight as she could. Fluttershy returned the embrace with her own hug. Rainbow stayed there in that hug until she thought of something, "But only until I change back and only when there's nopony else around." she retorted. Fluttershy giggled then she nodded and they returned to hugging. Rainbow had her eyes closed and when she opened them back she saw a smirking rabbit and a smiling tortoise on the other side of the couch. Angel and Tank had been sitting quietly and watching the scene unfurl before them, Tank couldn't be more happier for the two, as for Angel he was happy to have some 'dirt' on Rainbow now. Rainbow squinted her eyes at the pets in annoyance, "You didn't see anything." she whispered. Angel continued to smirk and jumped of the couch to leave the two to there moment. Tank made a zip off his lip with his arm and jumped the couch following the rabbit. Fluttershy and Rainbow stayed in the embrace for what seemed like eternity, happy to be mother and daughter until Rainbow's return to adult hood. **** Little did they know from the living room window they were being watched by Lightning dust who had found were they lived and had heard and watched everything. Lightning laughed "Hah, hah soon Rainbow I'm going to break up this little heart warming moment." she said then flew of into the night "Tomorrow I'm going to destroy you life." > Kidnapping > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning. Fluttershy yawned waking from her restful sleep. She looked down to her side to see a snoozing Rainbow under her wing, she giggled and leaned over her, "Rainbow it's time to wake up." she said in a motherly tone. Rainbow slowly opened her eyes and yawned cutely she looked up to Fluttershy. "Good morning Mommy." she said happily, ever since their agreement Rainbow's been calling her that, it felt weird at first but now it felt right. Fluttershy nuzzled Rainbow's cheek. They were both happy at the moment. They knew sooner or later the Red poison joke would wear off and Rainbow would change back soon, but until then they would enjoy the embrace of being mother and child. Suddenly Rainbows stomach started to growl and she blushed. Fluttershy giggled again. "I guess somepony's hungry." she said. Rainbow nodded in agreement. "I kinda feel wet too." she replied. Fluttershy only continued to giggle. **** After having changed and fed Rainbow, Fluttershy sat down on the bed and talked about the life they had and all there adventures they ever went on. Talking about their adventures always made Dash happy, they were great stories and they always made her look awesome, the memories they had and the battles they went through were great but now that she was a baby was really she that Rainbow Dash anymore? Rainbow thought about this for a moment and when she couldn't find the answer she looked to Fluttershy. "Mommy?" she said. Fluttershy looked at Rainbow. "Yes, Rainbow?" "Do you really think I'll change back soon? I've been like this for a while now." she asked with worry in her voice. Fluttershy leaned over to get closer to be face to face with Rainbow. "Well of course you will, I know you will." she said and kissed Rainbow on the cheek. Rainbow started rubbing her smooched cheek like it would get ride of what's been done. Fluttershy giggled. "You're still Rainbow after all." When she was done rubbing the kiss off she looked back up at Fluttershy, smiled and nuzzled into her chest and she returned the nuzzle, they where in the embrace until a certain white rabbit hopped in. Angel started to make signs for Fluttershy's attention. Fluttershy looked from Rainbow to Angel. "What is it Angel." she asked Angel made a whole bunch of language signs but just couldn't put his point across until Rainbow came in and said. "What Harry the bear's head is stuck in another honey pot?" Fluttershy looked down at Rainbow then at Angel. "Is it true?" she asked. Angel nodded and she sighed. "This is the third time this month." Fluttershy complained then looked at Rainbow. "I'm gonna have to leave you here while I go and take care of this, can I trust you'll be good and don't destroy the house?" she asked. Rainbow smirked, "Okay, but no promises." she said slyly. Fluttershy giggled and kissed her again. **** Fluttershy got her saddle bags and headed out to Harry's. When she was gone, Rainbow was talking to Angel and Tank who were left to take care of her. "Sooo, what do you guys want to do." she asked. Angel and Tank looked at each other slyly and then at Rainbow. "Pillow fight!" they said in unison, flying onto the coach they grabbed the first pillow to come to paw and ganged up on Rainbow. Rainbow was giggling from the soft pounding she was getting. "Hey n-no fair." she said as she flutterred her wings to escape her torturers and grabbed a pillow of her own and the Pillow Wars started. **** Just outside the living room window, Lightning was preparing to strike, while wearing a ski mask. She had waited until Fluttershy left the house to go help the bear she had thrown a pot on of honey on to sneek into the house and take Rainbow. "Okay Rainbow Dash, here I come!" she said then backing away from the window she ran and crashed right through. Rainbow and her friends looked to see the intruder, and Rainbow screamed before being grabbed by the kidnapper. Working quickly, Angel got under the couch and when he came back out he was holding a mace and screamed his battle cry for battle and jumped at Lightning. Lightning dropped the foal to avoid being hit by the mace, the rabbit kept swinging at her until she grabbed the lamp and through it at him. Angel quickly parried the lamp with his mace and charged at the intruder again but was stopped in his tracks by a baseball bat. Lightning had brought a bat just in case Fluttershy came back and had decided to us it on the rabbit, when he went limp she look around to find Rainbow, suddenly she started to hear a clipping sound, she looked to her left to be met by a flying turtle. (Editor: Tortoise!!) Tank flew right towards her head crashing his thick shell against it. Lightning could feel her head split into a headache, she looked at the turtle to see him come back for more but she was going to be ready this time, getting up she positioned her bat and swung at the flying turtle hitting him square in his side. Flying to the other side of the room Tank crash into the wall breaking his helicopter hat and falling to the ground shell side up unable to get back to his feet. When she was done with them, Lightning returned to her search for her target, she went upstairs and looked around the room, she didn't see her and was about to leave until suddenly she heard a sneeze come from under the bed and she smirk. She went over to the bed and looked under it to see Rainbow with an angry scowl but was shivering in fear. "You bettew weave me awone." Rainbow said trying to be brave. Lighting only smiled more evilly and grabbed Rainbow. **** Fluttershy was now home and was about to walk through the door. "Wow Harry's head sure was stuck this time." she opened the door, but the sight that greeted her wasn't good. The living room was wrecked, the tables and couch were tossed over and there were broken items everywhere, she looked around for any sighs for Rainbow and the others, she kept looking until she found Angel trying to get Tank of his back. "Angel!" she yelled worried, "Where's Rainbow Dash!!" Angel looked up at Fluttershy surprised, his ears dropped, he turned to Fluttershy and shook his head and started to cry. Fluttershy gasped. "She was taken." she said with a heavy heart and started crying herself, she had left Rainbow alone she had failed to protect her... She was heart broken, sad and miserable, she had failed the most important pony in her life. Then a different feeling started to creep out from the bottom of her heart, a feeling she hasn't felt since the Grand Galloping Gala. RAGE. "Who ever did this, IS GONNA WISH THEY WERE DEAD!!" she yelled through the house then looking at Angel. "Angel do you know were she went?" she asked. Angel nodded, he had put sent some near by birds on Lightning and they had came back earlier with directions on were she is hiding. "Okay, let's get this son of a bitch!!" > Lightning's revenge > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow was scared, she had been kidnapped and taken to who knows where and by who. She was in a dark room, she was in there ever since her captor had left her in there strapped to a highchair for hours. 'Who did this to me? What do they want? When are they going to come back?' she thought to herself, she was answered by the door to the dark room in front of her slowly opening up revealing light and a green and yellow mane mare that was all to familiar. "Wightning Dust!" Rainbow yelled. "Yep, I'm surprised that you remember me, oh and it's 'Lightning' with a 'L' honey." Lightning Dust mocked while walking over to Dash. "Why did you kidnap me?!" Rainbow demanded. "Why?! You ruined my life!" she retorted. "How did I do that?" Rainbow asked. Lightning turned away before answering. "When you got me kicked out of the Wonderbolts Academy, my life was changed forever and now I can never get it back." she said in a sad tone. "What do you mean?" Rainbow asked. Lightning turned back to Rainbow rage in her eyes making her flinch in fear. "It doesn't matter, I'm going to destroy your life just like you did mine." she said walking closer to Rainbow. "Pwease Wightning, don't hurt me." she pleaded. "Oh don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you." Lightning retorted. "Then...what?" Rainbow asked no longer worried much. Lightning smirked then lifting her hoof she revealed a bottle of milk that had a slightly strange coloring to it. "That's it, you're going to feed me?" Rainbow laughed. "Yep I'm going to feed you a nice bottle of warm 'red poison joke' milk." she said sinisterly. Rainbow stopped laughing and her eyes widened in fear again. "W-What?" "I've heard about your 'little' problem and I have been sneaking into the forest collecting red poison joke, safely of course, and made this little snake just...for...you." she said then lowering the nipple of the bottle to Rainbow's lips. "No! Wightning, pwease if you feed me that stuff I'll lose my mind and I'll never change back!" Rainbow said trying to avoid the nipple as best she could. "I know!" Lightning Dust said as she was grabbing the back of Rainbow's head with her free hoof she forced the nipple into her mouth. Rainbow could feel the liquid go down her throat she tried to pull the nipple out but Lightning kept it in easily, she looked of into another direction tears streaming down her eyes, she thought to herself. 'Fluttershy where are you?" **** Fluttershy was flying over Ponyville with Angel and his mace on her back, he had managed to give her all the direction to the kidnappers place and were now heading there to get Rainbow back. Angel started hopping up and down on Fluttershy's back to get her attention, when she looked at him he pointed to one of the houses just below them. "Is that where Rainbow is Angel Bunny?" Fluttershy asked. He nodded. "Okay then, hold on!" she yelled the divided boom right for the roof of the house. **** Lightning was just about done with her revenge plan till suddenly there was a crashing sound right behind her, she looked to see Fluttershy and her rabbit starring at her with pure rage. "You took my rainbow, you're going to get it now!" Fluttershy hissed. Lightning just smirked. "Ha, what are you going to do?" she asked. "Oh it's not what I'm going to do." she said then going into her saddle bag she pulled out a honey badger. "Lightning, Mr.Honey, Mr.Honey kill." she then threw Mr.Honey right at Lightning's face. Lightning screamed as the badger tore at her face and she rolled over onto her back desperately trying to pull it off. Fluttershy looked around desperately for Rainbow until she saw her sitting in a highchair, she ran over to her happy until she noticed that Rainbow seemed unfocused, she got closer to Rainbow until she was in front of her. Rainbow looked up at Fluttershy and started cooing and giggling like a real baby she lifted up her hooves trying to get her to pick her up. "Oh my goddess, Rainbow what's wrong with you!?" she said then picking Rainbow out of the highchair she cradled her in her arms, suddenly she heard laughter right behind her she turned to see that Lightning had somehow managed to get away from the badger but not without her face being bruised. "You're too late I gave Rainbow enough red poison joke that she'll never turn back." Lighting said. "Poison joke." Fluttershy whimpered then looked down at Rainbow who was now playing with her mane and cooing. Fluttershy was sad she has lost her friend she started to cry until she felt a small hoof press against her face. She looked at Rainbow's little hoof on her cheek then back at Rainbow and smiled. 'She may have lost her mind but she's still Rainbow' she thought to herself, she then looked back at Lightning rage feeling her again. "Your still going to pay for doing this to Rainbow! "Ha, ha, what are you going to do your the Element of Kindness, it's not in your nature to kill." Lightning said not afraid of her threat. Fluttershy winced, she was right she couldn't hurt a living soul, even her. She looked down at the floor to think until suddenly she saw the bottle and had an idea of what to do, she picked up the bottle. "Angel, Mr. Honey, hold her down." she said. Angel along with the badger jumped onto Lightings back and held her down. "W-what are you doing!?" Lighning panicked. "Giving you the taste of your own medicine." Fluttershy said, putting Rainbow back in the highchair for a minute she walked over to Lightning, bottle in hoof. W-wait NO! NOOOOO!!" **** Later at Twilight's house, Twilight had put Trixie to bed in her crib, Spike was already asleep, she was reading another book before going to bed for the night herself until suddenly she heard a nock at the door. "Strange now who could that be?" she asked herself then walking over to her door she opened it to see Fluttershy with a worried look, "Fluttershy what are you doing her?" "Twilight I need your help." Fluttershy said, turning to her side she revealed she wasn't alone, in the foal carrier was Rainbow Dash napping and sucking her hoof and right next to her was another foal with a green coat and yellow mane. When Fluttershy and Twilight went in and sat down Fluttershy explained everything that had happen today to Rainbow's kidnapping to Lightning being transformed into a foal. Twilight had nodded through the whole story, when she was finished Twilight had asked Fluttershy if she could take a blood sample of both foals, when she gave her permission Twilight started giving both foals shots and taking there blood and some how managing to not wake them up, she did test and all sorts of experiments but when she came back to Fluttershy her expression wasn't good. "I'm sorry to tell you this Fluttershy but I did some tests and I have found out that the poison joke is now running deep in both their blood vains, the only way for them to grow back up again is for them to grow up naturally." Twilight said flatly and lowered her head. Fluttershy was heart broken she had hope maybe their would be another way, then she looked down at Rainbow who was still sleeping peacefully and smiled. "Don't worry my little Rainbow, I'll take care of you." she said the nuzzled Dash a little. "Okay, but what about her." Twilight asked pointing at Lightning. Fluttershy looked at Lightning Dust who was also sleeping like Rainbow. "I think there's maybe more to her little revenge than I think, so I'll take care of her too and maybe I'll find out." she said. "Even after what she's done?" Twilight asked. Fluttershy simply nodded, there had to be more than just revenge behind this somewhere, she and got up and prepared to leave. "Okay then, see ya later Fluttershy." Twilight said watching her friend leave out the door. Rainbow may have lost her mind but she was still Rainbow and Fluttershy was going to keep their promise and take care of her and be her mommy. > New role in life > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning, Lightning Dust woke up and she felt groggy, she had a dream that she got her revenge but then was turned into a baby like Rainbow, she opened her eyes and saw butter colored feathers. "Huh?" she said confused she stirred around a little to try and see past the feathers, she suddenly felt something soft and comfortable against her flank, she looked down at her bottom to see she was in a diaper, 'Okay, I'm starting to think that wasn't a dream!' she thought to herself beginning panick. Suddenly the feathers around her started to move out of the way and she could see everything around her now, she could see that she was in a room, a room she's only seen while spying on Dash, "Oh good morning Lightning Dust." Lightning looked up at the speaker to see it was Fluttershy, "Fwuttewshy!" Lightning said then she winced when she heard her new voice. "What wong with my voice?" Lightning asked, Fluttershy giggled at her new speech, "Did you forget what happened last night?" then flashes of what happen last night flashed before Lightning's eyes, "I'm a baby!" she yelled. Fluttershy nodded then suddenly their was crying on her other side "Aww looks like little Rainbow is up." she said then turning onto her other she picked up the crying Rainbow who then stopped crying and started cooing happy to be noticed, "How long have you been awake." Fluttershy cooed talking like Rainbow could still talk, but she knew better. "I don't understand, what happened after you changed me into a baby." Lightning asked, Fluttershy explained what Twilight said to her last night while bouncing Rainbow over her shoulder, when she was done Lightning lowered her head, "I have to gwow up again." she whimpered sadly, Fluttershy nodded, "Yes and I'm going to take care of you and Rainbow." she said. Lightning then looked up at Fluttershy angrily, "And who said I wanted somepony to watch me, especially not by the pony who did this to me." she protest. Fluttershy was now the one getting angry, "Don't forget Dusty your the one who did this to Dash," she retorted, "so its just poetic justice that you share the same fate." Lightning tried to complain but she couldn't think of anything, all she could think of doing right now was cry and that what she did, "I dun wanna be a babe!" she yelled. Then Fluttershy scooped her up into her other arm, "Aww its okay, Twilight said I only gave you enough of that milk you'll stay a baby and would have to grow up again with Rainbow but you'll be able to keep your mind." she cooed trying to coax Lightning too stop crying. Lightning's crying went down to a sniffle, "I don't want to go through my past again." she said, Fluttershy looked at her curiously, "What are you talking about," she asked, Lightning went quiet, "well what ever it is, you don't have to relive your past you can live a better one with me and maybe someday you can talk about it." she said. Then Rainbow started to whimper, Fluttershy looked at Rainbow "Is somepony hungry?" she asked, then Rainbow started looking at her with her big magenta eyes filled with desire to answer, Fluttershy giggled, "I guess that's a yes than." she said then putting both foals back onto the bed she rolled over to her side revealing her chest. Rainbow quickly crawled over to one of her teats and clamped on beginning to nurse, Lightning was freaking out in her head from watching Rainbow nurse and then she thought that she would have to nurse to sense they were probably the same age and that scared her more. Fluttershy looked at the petrified and knew if she was going to take care of her she was going to first have to feed her, "Aren't you hungry Dusty?" she asked, Lightning was about to say no until her now pudgy stomach started to growl and she blushed, Fluttershy giggled and was about to grab her until, "No I dun't want to dwink bweast milk." Lightning complained. Fluttershy sighed she knew this would happen it was the same thing with Rainbow, without saying anything she grabbed Lightning and pressed her against her chest, Lightning was trying and failing to push herself away from Fluttershy's chest and protesting, "NO! I don't want to!" she cried, Fluttershy shook her head, "No you have to feed just like Rainbow now." she said Flatly. "But I-" she was cut off by Fluttershy shoving her into her other teat, forcing her to get the first squirt of milk into her mouth, the milk rolled around in Lightning's mouth and she tasted it and it tasted...sweet, it tasted good and sweet very good and she wanted more so without thinking Lightning started to nurse without further protest. Fluttershy giggled then laid her head down waiting patiently for them to finish, once they were done suckling they laid down with both there little pudgy belly's in the air, Fluttershy looked at Dust, "Well, how was it?" she asked, Lightning looked up at Fluttershy, "It was-" she cut off by a gurgling sound in her stomach, she wondered what that was until she felt a wet sensation on her crotch she looked down at her diaper that now had a yellow stain that was getting bigger. She was wetting herself, "I'm peeing! I'm peeing!" she yelled, Fluttershy shushed the foal with a hoof to quiet her nerves, "Shhhh, its okay its not bad." she cooed, Lightning wanted to protest but felt she couldn't she just sat there and continued to wet herself, when she stopped peeing Fluttershy poked her diaper to make sure. When she was done feeling Lightning's diaper Rainbow started to cry again and she felt her's she was wet too and she picked tthem both up, "Well looks like both you two need a change," she giggled then carried them both to the changing table. she put Lightning down on one side of the table and Rainbow on the other, she then unstrapped both their diapers and threw them into the trash can, she took the baby powder from under the table and sprinkled it into the new diapers she had and strapped them onto the foals. Lightning was kinda impressed by how fast she had that all done. "Okay done, now lets say we go downstairs and see what's to be done." Fluttershy said then picking both foals up she flew downstairs, when they got to the living room Lightning saw the rabbit from last night who in return saw her and scowled, "Now angel bunny," Fluttershy warned seeing the scowl on his face, "I don't want you hurting Lightning now and besides I think she's been punished enough." Angel sighed and nodded, "Good now I have to go outside for a minute to feed the animals, so I'm leaving these two too you okay." Fluttershy said then, putting the foals down on the coach she went out the door, when she left Angel looked at Lightning, "You know, what you did was real nasty." he said. Lightning looked at him surprised, "You can talk!?" she asked Angel ignored her question and looked at Rainbow who was sucking her hoof, "I can't even understand her anymore." he said sadly. Lightning looked at Rainbow too, she had taken her mind meaning she did what she's set out to do and got her revenge but was it the true revenge she was seeking she thought to herself she kept thinking about this and the more she thought about it the more guilty she felt. Dust looked at Angel, "I'm sowwy." she said, Angel looked at her, "Well you better say that to him." then he pointed behind her. Lightning looked behind herself and saw the flying turtle who didn't look to happy to see her. "Well I'm listening." Tank said **** That night Fluttershy had put Lightning to bed who was tired from being chased around the house by Tank, she was having trouble putting Rainbow to sleep, for some reason she wouldn't go to bed without crying for her to pick her back up, Fluttershy was flying back and forth rocking the foal in her arms she could tell she was sleepy cause of her tired eyes but she still refused to sleep. "Why won't you sleep Dashie?" she asked the foal, Rainbow looked at her with her tired eyes, Fluttershy could feel her heartache she had still been blaming herself for what's happened to Rainbow and she couldn't help but to feel a little guilty every time she looks at her eyes, the memories of her failure to Rainbow made her cry until suddenly. "Don't...cwy...Mommy." Fluttershy opened her eye's and returned her gaze to Rainbow, "What?" she said, "Pwease don't cwy Mommy I'm alwight." Rainbow replied, Fluttershy could feel her heart fill with joy and she hugged Rainbow tight, "Dear Celestia your back Rainbow! Your Back!" she yelled with all her joy. Rainbow rubbed her head, "Yeah although I feel kinda gwoggy what happened to Wightning and you what's going on?" she asked not quiet understanding what happen, Fluttershy loosened her grip and sighed, "Rainbow theirs something's I have to tell you." she said, Then she explained what happened yesterday. Once she was done Rainbow expression was depressed, "So I'm going to have to gwow up again?" she asked, Fluttershy nodded, "Yes, I'm sorry Rainbow." Rainbow felt sad but then thought of something, "Does that mean I can stay your baby a little while longer?" she asked with a little hope. Fluttershy's mood lightened up and she giggled, "Yes you can be my baby," she replied then she felt her mid section tackled by Rainbow who started hugging her and she returned the embrace with all her love. Rainbow felt happy, even though she would have to go through puberty again, she had a mommy but then something else came to mind and she looked up at Fluttershy, "I don't have to go through school again do I?" she asked. Fluttershy just giggled and they returned to there hug. > Good news > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning their was a little fight between Rainbow and Lightning Dust. "You twied to wipe my mind to mush you stupid head!" Rainbow yelled. "And failed....kinda." Lightning retorted with a smirk. "What are you saying?" "What do you think dumey face!" "That's it!!" Rainbow yelled and jumped on top of Lightning ready to pound her face until she felt herself being picked up by familiar hooves, she looked up to see Fluttershy, "Mommy put me down!" she complained, Fluttershy shook her head, "No Rainbow you cant be fighting with Lightning." she said sternly. Rainbow Looked down at Lightning who poked her tongue at her then she looked back at Fluttershy and pouted, "But its tanks to her that I gonna have ta gwow up again." she protested. "And she does too," Fluttershy retorted, "You'll both going to have to grow up again 'together' and get over your deferences do I make my self clear," she said sternly then saw that Lightning still had a smug look, "I said, do I make myself clear." she didn't like being assertive especially not ever sense last time but when your a single mother with two foals you gotta do what ya gottta do. Lightning flinched at being talked down to by Flutters but knew she had no choice and nodded in agreement, she didn't want to be here but with the options she had now she was going to have to make do. Fluttershy smiled then put Rainbow back down next to Lightning, once she was back down on the ground Rainbow crossed her arms and continued to pout, Lightning raised a brow, "You know I never could undewstand why Spitfiwe choose you instead of me?" she said. "You almost killed my fwiends." Rainbow retorted "Wait they were in dangew?" Lightning said pretending she didn't know, "Yeah are you stupid!" Rainbow yelled getting mad again. "They were in danger in the...defined genewal awea?" "Yeah! wait, wait!" "W-were they..." Lightning said starting to laugh at her cunning. I swear to Celestia! I will destroy you if you finish that sentence!" "Where They entering....The Danger Zone." Rainbow snapped and once again jumped on top of Lightning and started pounding her, the punches didn't hurt much and hardly did any damage but it was hard enough to make Lightning cry and once again Fluttershy picked up the fussing foals and she sighed, "What am I going to do with you girls." she giggled then kissed both of them on the forehead. Both of witch started to wiping their heads of the spot where they were kissed, suddenly their was a nock at the door, Fluttershy went over to the door and opened it, when Rainbow and Lightning saw who it was at the door they instantly wanted to go back inside and hide under Fluttershy's bed. Right at there door step was Spitfire Captain of the Wonderbolts and Soarin her Co-Captain. "Ohmygoshmygoshmygoshohmygosh!" both foals gasped in unison, Spitfire and Soarin looked at the foals strangly then at the mare, "Excuse me but are you Fluttershy?" Soarin asked and the mare nodded, "We were told by Twilight Sparkle that we can get some answers here about the disappearance of one of our recruits Rainbow Dash?" Spitfire asked. Rainbow's excitement instantly disappeared into fear and she looked up at Fluttershy who already knew what she was thinking and shook her head she had to tell the truth, she then looked back at her visiter's "Yes I can tell you what happened to Rainbow." she said and invited them in. **** Fluttershy explained what happened to Dash and Dust to the Wonderbolt captains, when she was done with her story the two looked at the foals on the coach who both had sheepish expression and was rubbing the back of their heads, "So Rainbow and Lightning our now foals and are being cared by you?" Spitfire asked, Fluttershy nodded nervously. "Well I just have one thing to say," she said coming up to the foals with a serious face, she leaned down to be face to face with Rainbow and Lightning, they were both nervous and a little scared at the towering mare, "That...YOU ARE THE MOST ADORABLE THINGS I EVER SEEN!!" she yelled then scooped both the foals up into a hug and squee'd. "Wait your not mad?" Rainbow asked, Spitfire shook her head, "No a bit freaked out but your both so cute I don't care," she said happily then looked at Soarin, "isn't that right Soar." Soarin nodded in agreement, Fluttershy smiled happy to know that they weren't in any trouble then thought, "So what happens now, there to young to be with the Wonderbolts now?" she asked. Rainbow could feel her heartache at those words she didn't want to wait again to join the Wonderbolts she looked up at Spitfire who was tapping a hoof to her chin, "Hmm, Oh I know," she said then putting the foals back on the coach she went over to Soarin, "Soarin, aren't we thinking of having a mascot for the Wonderbolts?" she asked. Soarin nodded, "Yes we've been talking about it, what are you thinking?" he asked curiously, Spitfire grew a smile that would make Pinkie Jealous, "I'm thinking we make these two Mascots and have the cutest cheering squad ever." she proclaim. Both Rainbow and Lightning's smile grew to match Spitfire's "Really!" they both said in unison and Spitfire nodded then they both started screaming in excited, Soarin smiled too he always thought Spitfire came up with the best ideas and that was the reason she was Captain, that and other reason. Spitfire watched as the foals started to fly around the room she was kinda surprised they could still fly but laughed at how cute they were and looked at Soarin again, "Aren't they cute?" she asked, "Makes you think about somethings riiight Soarin." she looked at Soarin seductively. Soarin started to shift his gaze nervously, "Nope." he said flatly, Spitfire raised a brow but kept the seductive look, "Are you sure.", "Well Mr.shy I think its time we left good-bye." Soarin said then quickly let himself out the door. "Soarin you get back here!" Spitfire said then left out the door in pursuit of her partner, Rainbow hadn't noticed any of this going on she was just thinking about Spitfire's offer of being a mascot, sure she'll probably wont get to do any stunts like the Wonderbolts but its something. Fluttershy smiled, she was happy for Dash then she felt something grab her leg and she looked down to see Rainbow, Rainbow looked up at Fluttershy and motioned her hooves up to be hugged, Fluttershy gladly assisted and pick Rainbow up into a hug. Lightning just sat and watched as they hugged it out not in the mood for hugs but Fluttershy wasn't going to let that slid and picked her up too bringing her into the embrace. Rainbow felt happy, her life may have been chaged but she was still Rainbow and she was going to be a Wonderbolt kinda, she had a sister rather she liked it or not and most of all she had a mother again, Fluttershy and she knew to her she'll always be Her Little Rainbow.
