> The Enchanted Necklaces > by TwilieTheFoal > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1- The Necklaces > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash was soaring high in the sky. The wind was rushing through her mane, as she busted some more clouds. After the clouds were gone, the sun started shining, making sun beams over the ponies on the ground below. Rainbow Dash then heard Berry Punch shouting her name. "Thanks Rainbow Dash! I love it when the sun shines on me!" Shouted Berry Punch, who was walking her daughter Pina Colada, to school. "You're welcome! Have a great day at school Pina Colada!" Called Dash, waving to 10-year old, Pina Colada. "I will!" Yelled Pina Colada, waving at Dash. Rainbow Dash headed towards the Everfree forest, busting the clouds overhead. She was about to go past the forest when she suddenly saw 2 shiny things on the ground. Since she was so high up, she couldn't see what the shiny things were, so she flew down to the entrance of the Everfree forest, landing on the dirt trail that leads to the Everfree forest. Once her hooves touched the ground, she saw the 2 shiny things that were now seen as 2 necklaces. The necklaces were a lavender color, both read the word 'friendship' on it. But, one of the necklaces and an apple on it, while the other had a diamond on it. Naturally Dash thought of Applejack and Rarity. She then checked left and right, making sure that nopony was looking, before snatching them up with her hooves, hiding them in her rainbow mane. Rainbow Dash then spread her wings and lifted her hooves off the ground, going back into the sky. Rainbow Dash was about to fly to Rarity's when she heard Twilight calling her name. "Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow Dash flew down to Twilight's castle, her hooves touching the dirt street. "What's up Twilight?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "Can you come inside the castle?" Twilight asked, not even letting Dash answer as she pulled Rainbow Dash inside her castle. "Uh. What's going on?" Asked Rainbow Dash, confused. She then saw her friends, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, and Starlight Glimmer in the castles main hall. She then turned to Twilight. "What's going on?" Rainbow Dash repeated. "Me and Starlight have to tell all of you something important." Twilight answered, facing everypony. "What is it Twilight?" Fluttershy asked. "Me, Starlight and Spike are going to the Crystal Empire for a week to visit Flurry Heart and the others." Twilight explained. "Why can't we come?" Asked Dash. "Because I still need ponies here in case of Friendship emergencies. Plus, me and Starlight want to be somewhere... else for a little bit. And Spike wants to see his fans again." Twilight said, smiling nervously. "Oh." The others said in unison. Then, there was awkward silence. "Well, uh. Twilight, we have to catch our train, right!" Starlight said, breaking the silence, sweating as she smiled nervously. "What? But our train doesn't leave until-." Starlight frowned as she made motions with her body. "Oh! Yeah, right. Our, train!" Twilight yelled suddenly. Then she and Starlight levitated their suitcases, walking out of the castle and to the train station. "Ok. Well, anyways, can I talk to Rarity and Applejack." Rainbow Dash asked. Pinkie Pie left the castle to go back to sugarcube corner. And Fluttershy left the castle to go to her cottage where her animal friends were. Leaving Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity alone together in the main hall. "What is it darling?" Rarity asked. "Um, I saw some necklaces on the ground and I couldn't help but think of you two when I picked them up." Rainbow Dash explained, taking the 2 lavender necklaces out of her mane, showing the two ponies her finds. "Oh. Well, they are magnificent darling, but, they're so... plain." Rarity said, not trying to sound too harsh. "Plain? What do you mean?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "What I mean is that it has no design. Why would you think of me and Applejack?" Answered Rarity. "Well, I saw that on one necklace there was an apple on it. And a diamond on the other. Plus, they both say 'friendship' on them. So I thought of you two." Rainbow Dash explained. Rarity then took a closer look. "Oh. So there is a design on them. Silly me." Rarity said. Then Applejack looked down at the other necklace very carefully and saw the word 'friendship' written on it. "Well. It does say friendship." Applejack stated. "So! Put them on!" Rainbow said excitedly. "Alright, alright. Though I do wish it came in a different color like.... fuchsia, or blue." Rarity complained, before putting it around her neck. "Quite your fussin'. Lavender is....nice." Applejack said, as she too put the lavender necklace around her neck. After they did that, a bright white started illuminating Rarity and Applejack's body. It increased in brightness and then....it stopped. Rainbow Dash then saw, what should have been a grown up Rarity and Applejack, two tiny foals. One was a light orange with a blonde mane and tail and had green eyes, she also had freckles all over her face. The other foal was a white unicorn with blue eyes and a curly, purple mane. Then Dash realized that the two foals were... "APPLEJACK! RARITY!" Rainbow Dash screamed. Applejack saw that she and Rarity were foals. After the shock, they started to cry. "No, no, no, no, no! This can't be happening!" Rainbow Dash said worriedly. They can't be foals. Applejack has to take care of her family at Sweet Apple Acres. While Rarity has to run her boutique. If they can't then, what will happen. Rainbow Dash started to pace back and forth while Applejack and Rarity continued to cry. "Oh! Maybe Twilight and Starlight will know what to do!" Rainbow Dash said, totally forgetting about Twilight and Starlight's trip. "No. They're at the Crystal Empire." "But, if they aren't here than who else knows about strange magic? Who would know about Everfree Forest magic?" Then Rainbow Dash remembered that Zecora lived in the Everfree Forest. "Oh! Zecora might know!" Rainbow Dash then took foal Rarity and Applejack in her arms and placed them carefully on her back, her wings shielding them so that they don't fall off her back while she's in flight. Then, she flew out the door and to the Everfree Forest. Rainbow Dash and her 2 foalified friends entered the Everfree Forest. Rainbow Dash and the 2 foals walked through the trail of the Everfree Forest that leads to Zecora's hut. She made a Dash for it once she heard some movements in a bush. Once she was sure she couldn't hear any more bushes rustling, she moved forward, only to see that she had ran so far that she had already reached the hut that belonged to the rhyming zebra Zecora. "Phew! We're here!" Rainbow Dash said, wiping her sweaty forehead, before walking up to the door of the hut. 'Knock, knock' was the noise Dash made. She did it a few more times, still no answer. She was about to fly to one of her windows when a figure opened the door. That figure, was Zecora. > Chapter 2- The Enchantment > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "ZECORA!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she hugged the Zebra. "Ah, my dear friend Rainbow Dash. Please, do come in." Zecora said, stepping aside so that the pegasus can enter her home. "Thanks Zecora." Rainbow Dash said as she took her 2 foalified friends off her back. Zecora looked at the 2 foals in shock. "What has happened to your friends? Are they under a spell? Or something much worse?" "No. Maybe. I don't know! I came here for your help since I found the necklaces near the entrance of the Everfree Forest." "Well, maybe I can help. I just need to know the right thing to cure the spell." Dash nodded and scooted Rarity and Applejack over to the zebra. She then bent down and looked at their necklaces carefully, before moving to one of her bookshelves, rummaging through it until she found the book she was looking for. She then placed the book on her table. The book was a dark green color. The title was 'Enchanted Objects and Cursed Clothing'. She then opened the book fast, revealing old and musty pages as she soared through them. She finally stopped when she saw the picture of the necklaces that Rarity and Applejack wore. "What is it Zecora? What curse are the necklaces under? And how do we fix it?" Dash asked impatiently, she really wanted an answer. "Looks like your 2 friends bear the 'Enchanted Necklaces' around their necks. Where the wearers turn into a foal version of themselves." "Ok! How do we fix it!" "To fix it you must treat them like foals. Then, at the end of the day, if they are happy, then they turn back into adults. But, if you do not make this come true, they will be trapped in their tiny bodies forever! And it will all be thanks to you." Zecora said, finally rhyming. "It will be because of me! So, I just need to be their mom and make them happy until the day is over, and then they will become normal again?" "Yes. That is correct. But you have to hurry, time is running out as we speak." Rarity and Applejack burst into tears. "Maybe they are crying because of their hunger for food?" Zecora suggested. "Oh, right! It's still morning, and morning is breakfast time!" After that, Rainbow Dash picked up the 2 crying foals and lifted them onto her back, her wings protecting them. She then hovered over the ground, her wings flapping lightly. "Thanks Zecora! You know, you make so much more sense when you don't talk in rhyme all the time." Dash said, noticing that Zecora rhymed only once, though it was a horrible rhyme. Zecora didn't reply to Dash's comment as she opened her hut's door for Dash. Dash then flew out of the hut and into the forest. Rainbow Dash and the 2 foals were now in Twilight's Castle. The reason why she had come here is because it'd be pretty hard for 2 non-pegasus foals to play around in a house entirely made of clouds, and it'd be hard to explain the situation to Sweetie Belle and Apple bloom. So, she figured that the safest place would be here since Starlight, Twilight and Spike went to the Crystal Empire, meaning nopony was around to see her 2 foalified friends. Rainbow Dash was about to set them down when she realized she needed foal supplies. So, she and her 2 small passengers, flew out of the castle and into a local foal shop. The foal shop was called 'Foal Clothes and More!'. Rainbow Dash landed in the store carefully, and grabbed a light blue cart, placing Applejack and Rarity in the foals seat that carts usually have. She then raced towards the aisle that was stocked with the first thing on her mind, Diapers. The 2 foals laughed and giggled as Rainbow raced to aisle 4. When the arrived in aisle 4, all Dash could see were packs of diapers. She looked at one of the shelves. Some diapers on the shelf were thick and bulky, giving a lot of playtime to foals who don't want to be stopped for a diaper change during their favorite playtime activities. Then, some were the regular diapers that the Cakes buy their twins. And some were night time diapers for foals or fillies that needed protection during sleep. All of the were disposable diapers, while on the other shelf, was stocked with nothing but cloth diapers and cloth diaper covers. Rainbow Dash was so enthralled in her task that she didn't notice a clerk pony calling her. But, she soon did when she heard the store clerk yell at the top of her lungs, making her 2 foal friends cry. "Huh! Oh, didn't see you there." Rainbow said to the clerk pony, turning around to face her. She then took notice of her little foals crying. "Shhh, shhh. No need to cry, your mommy Rainbow Dash is right here." Rainbow assured the 2 crying foals. Making them cry less. "Sorry, didn't mean to make your foals cry. I was just trying to get your attention." The clerk pony said. Feeling a bit bad. The clerk pony was a tall, thin, unicorn mare. Her coat was a grayish pink. Her eyes are bright blue. And her mane and tail were tied in a fancy, magenta and red, bun. Her cutie mark was a picture of 2 peppermints (1 green, and 1 red), with a snow white swirl underneath. "My name is Peppermint Swirls. I was just wondering if you want any help." Peppermint said. "Oh. I'm Rainbow Dash. Sorry I was ignoring you. I was just trying to decide which diapers to buy." Dash replied, apologizing to the mare. "Oh. That's alright. Anyways, do you need help with anything?" Peppermint asked. "I was wondering. Which brand of diapers would you recommend to a pony like me?" Dash asked. "Well. It depends what you're looking for." "I was looking for something thick so that they could play more. But, I don't want them to be limited to their movements because they're too thick." Dash explained. "Ah. Well, then I would suggest 'Pampers Playtime Cruisers'. They're thick, yet not too thick. And they are designed for longer playtime's. And they are very absorbent, so they won't have to worry about staying dry. " Peppermint explained, levitated the package with her pink magic, it had about 50 diapers in it. "These are perfect! Thanks." Dash said, taking the bulky packaging from Peppermint's pink aura. Placing them in the cart. "You're very welcome. If you need anymore help, just call me and i'll help." "I will." Dash then waved to Peppermint Swirls before picking up a bottle of foal powder and a package of foal wipes and rash cream, placing each item in her cart. She then moved to another aisle. This aisle had shelves filled with pacifiers and bottles. Dash smiled, as she went over to the pacifier shelf. She saw so many pacifiers but 2 caught her eyes. One was bright green with small red apple prints on it, perfect for Applejack. The other one was a regal purple with small blue diamond prints on it, perfect for Rarity. Dash then took them off the shelf and placed them in the cart. She then turned to the other shelf in the aisle and looked in it, the shelf was full of nothing but foal bottles. The foal bottles were all different sizes, and designed differently. Then, while she was was looking she saw 2, perfect sized bottles. The first bottle's design was a splash of purple then, a big blue diamond on top of the purple splash. The second bottle's design was a splash of green with a big red apple on top of the green splash. She instantly picked them up and placed them in the cart. She pushed the cart into the next aisle, where each shelf was stocked with toys. Dash grabbed some wooden blocks and a few stuffed toys like teddy bears and dinosaurs. As she was about to leave the aisle her eyes caught a stuffed apple tree with small apples made out of fabric, and a big, stuffed blue diamond. She stuck those in her cart and then headed towards the next aisle which was stocked with wipes, foal powder, and rash cream. Dash grabbed each item and threw them in the cart. She then headed to the clothing aisle. Rainbow Dash walked through the aisle to buy some 'play clothes', you know, for dress up. She took a frilly, pink princess dress, a wand, and a beautiful princess tiara. She took a cowgirl outfit off the shelf, she also took a little lasso and cowgirl boots, and a cowgirl hat. And she also took a pirate outfit, which came with an eye patch, off the rack. And finally, a Wonderbolt costume that also came with their signature goggles. But, before Dash took one she noticed that each one actually had each member's name on the back. Rainbow Dash got the one that had 'Spitfire' written on the back. She then went to the other shelf to pick out 2 onesies. Rainbow Dash was searching the onesies using her hooves, but she stopped when she felt something very soft. Rainbow Dash looked and saw a lime green onesie with patterns of apples. She then noticed a light, lavender colored onesie which was made of the same material as the lime green one. On the lavender onesie were patterned with dark purple gems all shapes and sizes and large blue diamonds. Rainbow Dash took both onesies and placed them in her cart. Rainbow Dash then walked out of the clothing aisle and into the last aisle she needed to go in, which was an aisle that had shelves full of bath toys, shampoo, body wash, and bubble bath. Rainbow Dash walked down the aisle and took a look at all the bottles of shampoo and took one off the shelf. The bottle was light pink and had a picture of a lilac on the front of the bottle. Underneath it read 'Soft Lilac Petals'. Rainbow Dash smelled the top, and it smelled really relaxing, and she needs her 2 foals to relax, after all, if they don't have a good time, than they will be trapped as foals forever, and they will blame her. So, Rainbow Dash grabbed the bottle. She then looked for bubble bath, foals love bubble bath's after all. She looked until she saw a tall, lavender bottle that had a picture of grapes on the front. Underneath it read 'Scented with REAL Grapes'. Rainbow Dash smelled the bottle and smiled, a candy grape smell entering her nostrils. She placed both bottles in the cart and then walked out of the aisle and to the front where the cashier was. Rainbow Dash unloaded her findings out of the blue cart and onto the table of the cashier. The cashier, a young cappuccino-brown, earth mare with cocoa brown eyes and a chestnut-brown, straight, mane and tail, scanned each item, asking Dash if she wanted bags, Dash answered her with a nod, and each item the mare scanned, went into a bag. After her items were done being scanned and put into bags, the mare told her how much it would cost. Dash giving the amount of bits that was needed to the cashier, receiving a receipt in return. Dash placed her receipt in one of the store's bags and then took the bags in her hooves. She was about to take off when she remembered that she still had Applejack and Rarity in the seat. She quickly placed them on her back and then realized something. She forgot the foal carrier. "Umm, is it ok if I go and grab one more item?" Dash asked the mare. "Yes of course." The mare answered. Rainbow Dash flew to the aisle that had the carriers, Dash taking a lavender carrier that can hold two foals, one on each side. She then flew back to the cashier and paid 10 bits for it. "Umm, I don't want it in a bag, I want it on my back." Dash informed the mare, who quickly took the carrier out of the bag. "Sure. Would you like some help with that?" Asked the mare. "Yes please." Dash responded turning her back to the mare so that she could place the carrier there. The mare first took the 2 foals off of Dash's back. Then she took the lavender carrier and strategically placed it on Rainbow's back, placing the 2 foals inside. Applejack on the left and Rarity on the right. "There you go." "Thanks Ms- uh, hey, I never asked you you're name. My name's Rainbow Dash." "Oh. I'm Cocoa Cream." "Thanks Ms Cream." "You're welcome Ms Dash." After that, Dash flew out of the store and into Twilight's castle. > Chapter 3- Playtime and Storytime > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash and her 2 foals entered the giant castle which was empty. Spike wasn't here since he left for the Dragon lands for a visit yesterday. Rainbow flew up to the guest room, which was an unused room beside Starlight's room. Rainbow Dash entered the room, closing the door behind her. She was about to take the foals out of the carrier when she realized- "Ugh! I forgot the foal food." Rainbow Dash decided that she would just go and ask Granny Smith for a jar of applesauce. "Hang on, before we get started, we're going to Sweet Apple Acres to get some applesauce." Rainbow informed the 2 foals. As soon as Rainbow Dash said the words "Sweet Apple Acres" Applejack started crying. She didn't want to be seen like this by her own family. They might tease her or something when she's reverted back to normal. "Ssh. It's ok. We only have to stop by for a jar of applesauce so you can eat. You're hungry, right?" Dash explained to Applejack, trying to calm her down, even though she was still in the carrier. Rainbow Dash then opened the bedroom door and flew out, flying out of the castle and towards Sweet Apple Acres. Rainbow Dash arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, knocking on the barnyard door. After a few knocks, somepony opened the door. The pony was an elderly mare with a light green coat and a white mane and tail that was tied into a bun, and here eyes were the same color as Apple bloom and she had an apple pie for a cutie mark. This mare was Granny Smith. "Rainbow Dash, what do you want?!" Granny Smith barked loudly. "Uhm, I just need a jar of applesauce." Rainbow answered. "Whatever for?!" Granny Smith asked, not as loudly. "For my hungry foals." Rainbow answered. "You have foals?" Granny asked, she then took notice of the foal carrier. "Oh. I'm just foalsitting for somepony. And I don't have any foal food so I came to see if I could use your applesauce as foal food for them." Dash explained. "Oh. S'that all. Why didn't y'all say so?" Asked Granny Smith as she yelled "BIG MAC!" Big Mac stopped doing what he was doing and trotted beside Granny Smith. "Eeyup?" Asked Mac. "Get me Applesauce from the fridge!" Granny demanded. "Eeyup." Big Mac replied. He then walked away from the door and into the kitchen, fetching a fresh jar of applesauce from the fridge and then returned to the door, a big, glass jar of applesauce was in his hooves. "Thanks Mac." Rainbow said, taking the jar of applesauce from him. She quickly spun around and flew out of Sweet Apple Acres and into Ponyville. flying to Twilight's Castle. Rainbow Dash entered the castle and flew up the stairs and into the same bedroom, all the foal stuff still sitting on the floor in their bags. Rainbow Dash took the foals out from her carrier and placed them on the floor. "Wait here. I'm going to put the applesauce in the fridge." Rainbow Dash flew out of the room and down the stairs, flying to the kitchens fridge. Meanwhile "Appajack." Rarity said. "Wha?" Applejack replied. "How wid we wet wnto dis?" Rarity asked, already aware that she sounded like a foal. "I don kwow." Aj said. "Why wid Dashie turn us wnto foaws?" Rarity asked. "I don tink se wid dis on purwose." Aj said, trying to defend Dash. "Yeah wight! Den why wid Dashie want us ta weaw da neckwaces in da wirst pwace?" Rarity shouted. "Weww, maywe se wid wot kwow dat dis wouwd happen!" Applejack shouted back. "Wes se wid!" Rarity argued. "No, se wid wot!" Applejack argued. The 2 foals argued and argued about whether or not Rainbow Dash meant to turn them into foals. But they fell silent when Dash opened the door. "Hey guys. Sorry I took so long. It was so hard to find a spot for the applesauce because Twilight's fridge is full of noodles. Can you believe that? Noodles!" Rarity and Applejack stared at each other as they thought 'Noodles? That's what she's going on about. Who cares?' "You probably think it's weird. I mean I do. Who eats nothing but noodles?" Rarity and Applejack began to cry. "Oh no! Did I say something wrong! Or....." Dash trailed off. "Right. Fun. These foals don't have anything to play with. So that means-" Rainbow got interrupted by Rarity's loud crying. "Alright! I'm on it!" Dash yelled back. After that conversation, Dash took all of the supplies out of each bag. And then she took the foals and flew down to the foyer, leaving a rainbow trail behind her, making the foals open their eyes in awe at the colors. Rainbow then stopped once she got to the foyer. She then set her 2 foals down on the castle floor. "Ok. I'm going to set things up for you guys so you can play and have fun! Alright?" Rainbow said excitedly. The 2 foals waited as Dash took a blanket from one of the couches. She then flattened it out on the floor, placing various foal toys on it. Then, she placed the foals on the blanket and let them play together. "Wha do ya want da pway?" Applejack asked Rarity. "I don know. Maywe bwocks or wuffed woys?" Rarity suggested. "Otay, bwocks it is." Aj agreed, crawling to the wooden blocks. Rarity following close behind. The 2 foals reached the wooden blocks and began stacking them together. Aj placed one wooden block on the floor and Rarity placed another block on top. Aj placed another block on top of the block Rarity just placed. And so on. They did this for a few minutes until the tower fell over, becoming a pile of blocks. The foals giggled a little and then they did the same thing again, getting great satisfaction out of it. "Wow. Dis is weawwy fun!" Aj exclaimed. "Yeah. I wever tought dat doin foawish tings wouwd be fun!" Rarity agreed, playing with the blocks. The 2 foals stopped playing with their blocks and crawled to the stuffed toys. Once they reached the toys Rarity immediately picked out a pink teddy bear. Aj decided to pick the blue bear. They than proceeded to play a bear game. Rarity's pink bear chased Applejack's blue bear. They did this for some time, galloping, and chasing each other. And eventually, they forgot about their bears and played the bear game with themselves. They did this for about 20 minutes before Applejack tackled Rarity, making her fall to the floor. Applejack and Rarity started giggling. Wow, they never thought that being turned into a foal would make them closer. They were having a great time! Rarity and Applejack were about to crawl towards the blanket to play some more when they both heard their stomachs rumble with hunger. They both wanted some food, so they crawled over to Rainbow Dash. Applejack began tapping her on the wings while Rarity started to pound on her hooves. Rainbow looked down to see the 2 foals that were being fussy. "Hey. What's wrong you two?" "I am hungwy! I wan food!" Rarity answered, pounding on Dash just a bit harder. "I've noticed from those growling stomachs of yours" Dash said. She was about to go to the kitchen when she realized that she had no highchairs. She was about to look through some rooms in the castle but she thought 'Twilight having a highchair makes no sense! I mean, no foals really come here besides Flurry Heart, but that rarely happens!' So Dash decided to ask the cakes for a highchair, maybe they had a spare. "Alright. I'm sorry but there are no highchairs in here and I want you safe while you eat. So, we're going to Sugarcube Corner to see if Mr and Mrs Cake would lend me their highchairs for the afternoon. Ok?" Dash explained to Applejack and Rarity. As soon as Rarity and Applejack heard the words 'Sugarcube Corner and Mr and Mrs Cake, they instantly started throwing a tantrum to keep Dash from doing this, also because they're hungry. "I don wanna! I wanna way were! Pwease Washie, Pwease!!!" They begged. "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa! No need to get fussy! It's just for a few seconds and then we'll be off, none of them will even know!" Dash said, trying to calm them down. That didn't see to work. "I'll ask them for cake flavored foal food for dessert!" Dash said, making sure they heard her. As soon as she said 'cake' they immediately stopped the tantrum and looked at Dash with puppy dog eyes. They really wanted that dessert, for some reason. "I knew you wouldn't resist." Dash said with a sly grin. She flew up to the guest room upstairs and took the foal carrier, flying down to the foals afterwards. She then placed the foal carrier carefully on her back, making sure it's tight and secure. After that, she placed the foals inside. Applejack on the right and Rarity on the left. Dash then flew out of the castle and towards Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow entered the sweet shop, expecting it to be very busy, but no. There was no one there, except for her. Strange. Anyways, she walked towards the counter and rung the silver bell. She had to ring it a few times before Mrs. Cake came out. "Hi Rainbow Dash, What can I do you for?" Mrs. Cake asked. "Well, I was wondering if I could borrow 2 highchairs." Rainbow answered. "Oh. Well, I could give you the twins backup highchairs, but why do you need them anyways?" Mrs. Cake asked curiously. "Because i'm foalsitting at Twilight's house but she has no highchairs. So I came to ask you." Dash lied. Mrs. Cake believed her and went to the storage closet in the basement to get the 2 highchairs. After 20 minutes of waiting at the counter, Mrs. Cake finally came up the stairs and into the bakery. "Here ya go! Sorry I took so long, here's the highchairs!" Mrs. Cake said, hoofing the highchairs to Rainbow. "Need anything else?" Asked Mrs. Cake. Rainbow was about to say no when she heard a grumble from a stomach and remembered that she would get them some cake flavored foal food. "Yes. Can I get a jar of cake flavored foal food please. I told the foals I would get them that." Rainbow said. "Oh, of course dearie. Anything to help the foals. Who are you foalsitting for anyways?" "Uh, i'm foalsitting for my.....my cousin!" Rainbow stammered, sweat pouring down her forehead. "I never knew you had a cousin Rainbow Dash, what's her name?" "Her name is uh...... Stormy! Yeah, Stormy Dash." "That's a great name! Well, i'll go get that cake flavored foal food for ya." Mrs. Cake walked to the kitchen, opening up the pantry. She grabbed a jar that had brown and pink mush inside. This jar was labeled 'Cake Foal Food'. Mrs. Cake closed the pantry and then came out to Rainbow Dash, who was waiting patiently. "Here ya go! I hope your cousins foals like it. What's their names anyways?" "Well they're twins. One is named Windy and the other is named Rainy, they're only one years old." Dash replied. Hopefully Mrs. Cake bought the white lie. "What beautiful names they have! Are they both fillies?" 'Wow Mrs. Cake sure is curious today.' Rainbow thought. "Yeah. They also look the same. Except for their colors. Windy is light blue with a messy sky blue mane and tail, while Rainy is dark blue with a messy indigo mane. Which makes it easier to tell them apart." "Well, I certainly hope they're having a wonderful time here in Ponyville." "Yeah. Me too." After that conversation, Mrs. Cake got back to work and Rainbow Dash flew out of the sweet shop and towards Twilight's Crystal Castle. Rainbow Dash entered the castle and closed the door behind her. She then put the highchairs on the floor and took Applejack and Rarity out of the foal carrier, placing them on the floor. "Sorry that took so long guys. I guess Mrs. Cake was feeling really chatty today." Dash apologized, setting up the highchair in the main foyer where all the toys were. Rainbow took out the foal mush and quickly got a spoon from the kitchen. She then placed Applejack in the baby blue highchair, securing the tray, then she placed Rarity in the soft pink highchair, securing the tray for her as well. Rainbow then opened the jar of foal mush and dipped the metal spoon inside. She looked at Rarity and Applejack, unsure which foal should get the first bite. So, she asked the 2 foals "Who wants their num nums first?" Nopony raised their hooves at first, but due to hunger, Applejack reluctantly opened her mouth, indicating that she wanted the first bite. "Alright Aj. Here comes the choo choo train!" Dash said, mimicking the sounds of a train before placing the foal mush in Aj's mouth, taking out the metal spoon as Aj swallowed the bite. As soon as the mush hit her taste buds she immediately wanted more, swallowing her first bite. "Mmm, dat was wo wood! Wawity you gots ta twy some, it is amawing!" Rarity was reluctant at first, but then she saw how much her friend liked it and she was pretty hungry. "*Sigh*, Oh alwight, I give it a twy." After that she opened her mouth and allowed the cake flavored mush enter her mouth. She smiled at the taste of the mush, swallowing it down fast. And just like Aj, she opened her mouth again for another spoonful of that delicious mush. After a few more spoonfuls of the cake flavored mush, the foals were full. Rainbow closed the lid and put the mush in the fridge. As she opened the fridge, she saw a jar of applesauce and realized that the cake mush was only supposed to be a treat, not lunch. "Oh no. I hope they don't get hyper." Dash pleaded before flying back to the main foyer of the castle. "Hey you two. How was lunch?" "It was weat Wainbow Washie! It tastes just wike cake!" Aj exclaimed. "I'm glad you like it. Did you like it Rarity?" Rainbow asked, looking at the fashionista foal. "Yeah. I taught I wasn't goin ta wike it, but I wid!" Rarity exclaimed happily. "That's great! I'll get you out of those highchairs and then get you a bottle of milk." Dash said, taking Rarity and Aj out of their highchairs. Rainbow placed them on the blanket and then flew back to the kitchen for the bottles, making sure to warm them up in the microwave. After that. she flew back to the 2 foals. Rainbow Dash sat on the floor and motioned for them to come and sit on her lap. They laid down on her lap and Rainbow inserted the bottles of warm formula into their mouths, hearing them suckle. "That's it, drink up." Dash whispered. Applejack and Rarity closed their eyes as they suckled on their bottles contently, not having a care in the world. They did this for quite sometime, not realizing that they're bottles are empty until they felt no creamy warm milk after their suckles. They quickly opened their eyes and saw that they were suckling on an empty bottle. The two of them blushed and let go of the bottles, allowing Dash to set the bottles aside and then burp them. Rarity gave out a little belch, blushing afterwards. 'Ugh, That was so unladylike. Oh, well, I'll just have to deal with it.' Applejack was burped second, making her burp very loud and, to Rarity, uncouth. 'I'm so glad i'm a foal. If I wasn't than ponies would look at me with weird looks' "There. Now, what would you like to do?" Dash asked the foals. "I wanna pway wit ya! Maywe hide and seek." Aj said, looking at Dash. "Alright! Rarity, do you wanna play?" "Ya! I wove hide and seek!" Rarity responded excitedly. "Alright then. I'll count to 20 while you two hide." Applejack and Rarity scampered off as fast as they're little hooves could carry them. Applejack couldn't find a hiding spot that wouldn't be obvious. She was going to hide under the table in the kitchen but Rarity already hid there. She couldn't make up her mind, and Rainbow was counting. Applejack finally decided to hide in the broom closet. She thought it was good since she could hide behind a broom. Plus, she wouldn't stand out as much since her hair is the same color as the brooms....almost the same colors as the brooms. "17, 18, 19, 20! Ready or not, here I come!" Dash yelled as she searched. Rainbow first entered the kitchen, looking all around. She looked under the sink, in the pantry, closet full of baking stuff, and even in the cupboards that were full of measuring cups. But no sign of Rarity or Applejack. She flew out of the kitchen and into the bathroom. But, what she didn't do was look under the table. If she had, she would've found a white, purple-haired foal, named Rarity, who was on the verge of giggling. Dash flew into the bathroom. Her first instinct was to pull the shower curtains, she was hoping to see a little foal there, but no. Instead, she just saw a plain white bathtub. She checked under the sink and in the medication cupboards. But, no foals. "Oh man. This is harder than I thought it would be." Dash stated, as she flew out of the bathroom and down the hall. Rainbow saw a door, which was the door to the broom closet. She opened it and turned the closet light on, making it easier to see. She saw nothing but brooms, but she wasn't that dumb. She took one of the brooms and picked it up, revealing nothing. She did it to the second broom, but she found nothing. That's when she heard a little giggle behind the third and final broom. She began walking towards it. She was almost positive that Aj was hiding behind the broom. Rainbow quickly picked up the broom and shouted "I found you!" She revealed a little orange yellow-haired foal. She found Applejack. "Darn it! I tought dat dis wouwd be da best hiding wot! How did ya find me?" Aj asked, looking at Dash. "I heard you giggling. It was a dead giveaway." Dash explained, picking Aj up and out of the closet, closing the door behind them. She set Aj back down on the ground. "Of cowse it wid!" Aj yelled. "It's ok, you tried your best." Dash said. "Yeah I gwess you wight." "Let's go find Rarity!" Rainbow said, but then she stopped and turned back to Aj. "You wouldn't happen to know where she was hiding, would you?" Rainbow asked. "You widn't wind her?" Aj asked. "I tought it was obvious dat she wouwd be hiwing in da kitchwen?" Aj asked confused, making Dash look even more confused. "I checked the kitchen but she wasn't there!" Dash said "I checked everywhere!" "Did ya check under da tabwe?" Aj asked. "No. I didn't...." Dash trailed off in thought. "She's hiding underneath the kitchen table!" "Exactwy!" Dash and Aj both ran to the kitchen, entering and looking underneath the table. Dash saw a little white purple-haired foal. "Found you Rarity!" "Yes you wid." Rarity said in defeat. "Alright, let's play something else." Dash suggested right before everyone heard a loud hissing sound. "What was-" Dash was about to ask when she saw Applejack and Rarity's yellow-soaked diapers. "I soaked my diapee!?" Rarity cried. She knew that this would happen but, she didn't think it was going to feel so disgusting and squishy. She wanted it to go away. "I dun wanna wet my diapee!" Aj cried, hating the squishy feeling and the smell. "Hey! It's ok! I'll change you!" Rainbow said, trying to lay them down so she could begin the change. Though, she had to fly up the stairs really quickly for the supplies. *Rainbow Dash arrives and begins the change* The foals wouldn't cooperate and started kicking her with all their might, which hurt, even though they were foals. Dash quickly untaped Rarity's diaper to show her she's changing her into a clean diaper. Which didn't work. Dash had to resort to yelling. 'I hope this won't make them cry more.' "Hey! I'm changing you!" Rarity heard her and looked as Rainbow threw the dirty diaper in the trash and began to spread some rash cream on her rump, making her kick from the cold. Rainbow than took out and opened a fresh, white diaper and placed it under her rump. She applied a fair amount of foal powder on her rump. Finally, she brought the front of the diaper onto her stomach and taped it up securely with both tabs. She did the same for Applejack. "There. That all better?" Asked Rainbow as she patted both of their padded rumps. "Yeah! Tank ya Wainbow!" Aj said. "Sowwy we kicked ya." Rarity apologized. "Aww, it's alright. I can't stay mad at cuties like you." Dash said, booping Rarity and Applejack's noses. Making them giggle. "Now, what do you wanna do?" Rainbow asked. "I wanna pway.....tag!" Aj said excitedly. "Tag? Rarity, you in?" Rainbow asked, turning to Rarity. "Sure. Sounds wike fun!" Rarity replied happily. "Alright, tag it is!" Rainbow announced. Rarity and Applejack ran as Rainbow Dash started running towards them. Rarity dashed up the stairs as fast as her legs could carry her, though, it was very hard and she only made it up the third step before Rainbow caught up to her, taking her off the step and placed her back on the floor, making Rarity cross her hooves. The game just started and she already got caught. "Caught you!" Rainbow Dash said, lightly tapping Rarity on the hoof before turning the other way and running. "Aww, now I'm it!" Rarity shouted out of frustration, she HATED being it. She really shouldn't have tried going up those stairs, especially in the body she was in now. Rarity sighed and started running towards Applejack. Applejack looked behind her, expecting to see Rainbow Dash, but instead, saw Rarity. "Huh? Isn't she suppwosed ta be on da staiwase? Unwess.....oh no! She it!" Aj realized, running very fast, well, for a foal anyways. Applejack ran all the way to the kitchen, hoping that Rarity wasn't near her. But to make sure, she looked behind her, not seeing Rarity, she sighed and entered the kitchen, when suddenly, Rarity popped up in front of her and caught her by surprise, making Aj fall backwards. Rarity then lightly tapped her lightly on the hoof and said "tag, you're it!" Applejack grumbled under her breath while getting up and off the ground, Rarity running out of the kitchen and back to the foyer, where Rainbow Dash was. Applejack ran towards Rarity, making Rarity run for her life. She ran and ran until she met Rainbow Dash. "Dashie!" Rarity yelled, running behind Dash, wanting her to protect her. Applejack saw Rarity's attempt at hiding and ran underneath Dash, tagging Rarity. "Darn it! Can we pway someting ewse." Rarity pleaded. "Well, how about.....tickle monster!" Rainbow excitedly said, ready to tickle Rarity and Applejack to death! Rainbow let them run for a little bit before chasing them, shouting "the tickle monster's gonna get'ya!" Rarity looked behind her and saw Rainbow right there. She also heard her and shouted "no ya not!", she also let out a giggle. Applejack ran towards the broom closet and was about to go through the door but Rainbow caught her and picked her up, tickling her little tummy, even blowing some raspberries, making Applejack laugh very hard, which made her soak her, now, yellow diaper, which added a nice warm feeling, making her not want a change, but it limits her movements so that she could barely move since her diaper was sagging, so, she simply asked "Dashie, can ya change me, pwease." "Of course I can, just wait right here, I need to get the supplies." Rainbow said sweetly, racing up to the guest room for the supplies needed. Then she returned, and changed the 2 foals. "Thankee Wainbow Wash." Aj and Rarity said in unison, making Rainbow Dash daww. "Alright! How are you my cuties?" Rainbow asked. "Gweat! I feew wike I am carefwee and can do whatever I want an stuff." Rarity answered. "That's good. Aj?" "I feew wike some weight has been wifted off of my shoulders an all I get is hugs an kissies and awot of pway time! It's weally fun! I wove dis!" Aj replied. "That's great!" Rainbow said, hoping that the enchantment will end soon. "Wainbow. I hungwy!" Aj whined, making her tummy growl loudly. "It must be dinner time. Alright let's go to the kitchen." Rainbow said, picking up the hungry foals and placing them on her back. She than ran to the kitchen. Rainbow entered the kitchen and took off the trays of the highchairs and placed the 2 foals in each one and then placed the trays back on, locking them in place. She then went to the fridge and took out the jar of applesauce and 1 spoon. Then she opened the jar of applesauce and dipped the spoon inside, taking it out of the jar and placed the spoon in Rarity's mouth, letting her swallow the apple mush. She did the same with Applejack and kept on feeding them until their bellies were full. After their dinner Rainbow Dash unlocked and removed the tray from each highchair and placed the fillies on her back, and walked out of the kitchen and up to the bathroom. The foals were about to ask Dash why they're heading up to the bathroom, but their questions were soon answered by running water. Rainbow placed the 2 foals into the bathtub full of warm water. Rainbow took out the lavender bottle and poured the liquid into the tub, making bubbles. The foals splashed around in the tub. "Yay! Bubbas!!!" They marveled at the bubbles. "I take it you like the bubbles?" "Wike dem! We wove dem!" They said in unison. Rainbow smiled and took the pink bottle next to the bubble bath and poured the liquid onto Rarity and Applejack's heads, using her hooves to spread the shampoo all over their heads. Then, she filled up a cup with water and poured it on both of their heads. And repeated the process until she was sure that both foals' hair was rinsed out and no shampoo was left. Then she placed some toys in their bath for them to play with before she dried them. "Have fun playing." Rarity took one of the rubber duckies and began splashing it in the water. But, then she stopped and asked Aj something. "Abbejack?" "Ya Rawity?" "Have ya eva tought dat dis foaw ting would eva be dis fun?" "Not weawwy. I tought it would be embarrassing, but honeswy, I weawwy wike it. It makes me welax an I don have ta do any wowk! Jus pway an pway! It's fun!" "I tink dat too!" Rarity and Applejack started to splash each other with the water, the bubbles no longer present in the water. They kept doing it, until Dash saw water get all over the bathroom floor and took them out of the water. "You got water all over the floor! Now I have to clean it up!" Dash scolded. "We're sowwy. We onwy wanted ta pway." Aj apologized. "Yeah! We widn't mean ta make da floor wet." Rarity added. "*Sigh* I know, I know. You were just having fun and didn't know that you splashed some bathwater on the floor. " "Dat's wight!" Aj shouted. "Anyways. I need to dry you off before you can be placed in a fresh new diaper and onesie." "We get onesies?!" Rarity exclaimed. "That's right! But, if you want to wear your onesie, than you need to let me dry you off." Dash told her. "Otay!" They both said in unison. Rainbow smiled and took a light pink towel from the bathroom's closet. Than she threw the towel over the foals and quickly dried them off, and took off the towel, showing Aj and Rarity's, now, frizzy manes and tails. She laughed and took out a hairbrush and brushed the frizz out of their manes and tails, making them fidget and whine. "Hold still. I'm almost done." Dash said, trying to brush their manes. "But it hurts!" Rarity whined. Rainbow Dash ignored her whining and brushed. Then she took out a comb and combed the rest of her mane and tail out, doing the same to Applejack. "There, see? I finished and now you can both get into new diapers and onesies." Dash said soothingly. "Otay. I weawwy wanna wear my onesie." Rarity said, climbing onto Rainbow's back, Aj doing the same. "Alright! Let's go to the bedroom!" Dash announced, racing down the hall and towards the guest bedroom. Once Dash arrived in the room, she shut the door and placed the foals on the floor. Dash took the supplies needed and placed Rarity and Applejack in new, fluffy white diapers and patted their padded rumps, making them giggle. "Now it's time for your onesies." "Yay!" Rarity exclaimed, bouncing up and down. Making small clouds of foal powder to puff out of the leg holes. Rainbow laughed at her enthusiasm, which made Rarity blush like a tomato. Then Rainbow took 2 different onesies. One was lime green with patterns of bright red apples on it. And the other one was a light lavender with patterned with dark purple gems of all different shapes and sizes. Rainbow unbuttoned the lime green onesie and placed Applejack inside, making sure that her legs were in all of the sleeves. After that, she buttoned it back up, and let Applejack roll around in her brand new, and soft, onesie. She did the same with Rarity. "Wow! Dese are sooo comfortable! I can't bewieve how soft dese awe! Tankee Dashie!" Rarity said, rolling around in her pajamas. "You're welcome Rarity. I'm glad you like them." "I wove dem too!" Aj added. "I know you do." Rainbow said, giving Aj a soft pat on the head. "Now, it's time for bottles and then storytime!" "Yay! Stowy!" Aj and Rarity said in unison. Rainbow got out the same two bottles as before and then raced downstairs and to the kitchen to fill up the bottle with warm milk. Meanwhile "Wha do ya wanna do whiwe she's gone?" Applejack asked Rarity. "I dunno. I jus wanna woll around in em unwil Dashie comes back wit our babas." Rarity answered, still rolling around in her soft PJ's. "Sounds like fun." Aj muttered as she joined Rarity and rolled around. They rolled around for quite sometime until Rainbow Dash finally came back up with 2 foal bottles in her hooves. "Dashie! Babas!" Rarity shouted, sitting straight up, ready for her delicious bottle of milk. "Woah. Settle down." Rainbow said, making both foals blush. Rainbow picked up Applejack and Rarity and placed both amber nipples in each others mouths at the same time. Both foals suckled on the rubber nipple, which rewarded their efforts with warm, creamy, milk. They suckled on their bottles for awhile before finally finishing up. Rainbow Dash took the rubber nipples out of their mouths and placed them on the nightstand that was beside the bed. Then she placed them over her shoulders and gave each of them a gentle, but firm pat on the back. making them burp. "Alright. Now it's storytime!" Rainbow announced to the foals excitedly. Rainbow sat on the comfy, bed, placing the foals in front of her. She made sure they were all comfortable before telling the story. "Wha's da stowy anyways?" Rarity inquired. "It's pwobabwy Darin' Doo or sometin." Applejack answered. "Nope! This time, i'll be telling you a story that I made up myself." Rainbow said with joy. "Weawwy!?" "Wha's it cawwed?" "The Adventures of Li'l Appleseed and Diamond Delight." Rainbow said, which made the foals even more excited. "Teww us mowe!" "Well, this adventure is called 'The Adventures Of Li'l Appleseed and Diamond Delight: The Case of The Missing Cherry Sofa! "Wha's it about? Teww us!" Rarity demanded. "This adventure is about Diamond Delight and Li'l Appleseed catching an evil colt who stole a pristine, one of a kind, cherry sofa! It was so one of a kind that the colt in question went to jail for 5 years! Can you believe that? 5 years! Sounds interesting right?" The foals frantically shook their heads as if to say 'yes'. "Good!" "And the story begins in a place where foals ruled. That place was called Foaltropolis. And in Foaltropolis there were two, well known detectives, Li'l Appleseed and Diamond Delight. They have solved about 20 different mysteries, and were basically Foaltropolis's heroes. And right now, our heroes were at Diamond's foal clothes store, having some tea and chatting about girly things when suddenly, "EH EH EH!" An alarm was sounding, which only meant one thing, someone needed their detective skills to solve a mystery! So they closed up the store and pushed a small, hidden red button, which revealed a a hole and a pole. The two foals rode down the pole to their super secret, detective lair, and then the hole closed, leaving the two to their lair. Li'l Appleseed went up to their huge, main computer and pressed a few buttons before a face appeared on the screen. The face belonged to a light pink pony with a curly, dark pink, mane and tail. Her blue eyes showed fear and once she saw the two amazing foals she looked relieved." "Hi Detective Seed and Diamond. I could really use your awesome detective skills." Said the young filly, her voice very squeaky and high-pitched. "And who are you?" Detective Diamond asked in her sweet, regal voice. "I'm Cherry Pastel. The owner of Cherry Pastel's Designs." "I've heard about you! You're pretty great in the furniture district. What seems to be the problem Ms.Pastel? "Well, uh, you see, I kinda sorta.....got robbed and I need your brilliant detective skills to see who did it." Cherry Pastel explained, sweating like crazy. "We'll be glad to help you but, what's been stolen by the robber?" "My expensive, one of a kind, bright red, cherry sofa! It's very important to me and I need to sell it to an important client or else he'll stop buying from me all together! And I can't have that happen! I might lose sales!" "Well, do not fret darling, we'll get to your store right away!" "Thanks so much Detectives! I'll be preparing for your arrival." Then the screen shut off and the filly's pink face disappeared. "Come on Li'l Appleseed. We must go to the shop, now!" "Alright Diamond. But before we go we gotta bring our detective gear." "Right. I almost forgot. Detective hats and jackets. Pad and pen. And magnifying glass. Thanks for reminding me Seedy." "You're welcome. I'll go get the gear." Li'l Appleseed got the gear needed. 2 black Detective hats. 2 black Detective jackets. And a pad of paper with a pen, and 2 magnifying glasses. Then she and Diamond Delight dressed up in their outfits. A pad of paper and pen laid in Li'l Appleseed's pocket. And Diamond Delight had a magnifying glass in hers. Li'l Appleseed pressed a red button on the giant computer's keyboard and the hole in the clothes shop's ground above opened their secret entrance and exit, the pole extending upwards. Then the two Detectives climbed the pole (which wasn't so difficult) and made their way to Cherry Pastel's Designs. "Wow! I wonda wat dey're gonna find in Werry Pastel's Dewigns!" Rarity exclaimed, interrupting Dash's creative story. "Rarity, please don't interrupt the story, I'm sure Applejack would really love to hear the rest." Rainbow said in a calm tone. "Sowwy Dashie. I jus so excited!" "It's alright sweetie, just don't do it again, ok." "Otay!" "Alright, on with the story!" Li'l Appleseed and Diamond Delight knocked on the door of Cherry Pastel's Designs. Also known as the crime scene. Cherry Pastel answered the door and was so thrilled to see Detective Seed and Diamond. "Detectives! I'm so glad that you're here! Please, please come in!" Detective Seed and Diamond walked inside and saw a spot void of a sofa. And that sofa was a bright red, Cherry, Sofa! Detective Diamond than proceeded to take out her magnifying glass as she started searching the area for clues. Detective Diamond searched the floor for something when she saw that there were hoofprints, most likely made by a colt. "Interesting." Then she yelled "Detective Seed! Come here, I found a clue!" Detective seed ran over as fast as she could and took out her paper and pen, ready to write down her partners findings. "What clue did you find?" "I found hoofprints that come from the spot where the couch used to be all the way out the front door. And these hoofprints could only belong to a colt! You're writing this down, right?" "Yes, yes of course! And that's certainly interesting. What colt in Foaltropolis would want to steal a prepaid bright red, cherry couch? And who would be able to walk out the front door if there are alarms?" "This colt must've known this place like the back of his hoof, or else he wouldn't have been able to locate and deactivate an alarm. And this colt had to be really strong to be able to pull a couch out the front door all by himself. I'll have to find more clues to determine which colt was responsible for this." And with that, Detective Diamond searched for more clues elsewhere in the shop until she came across a black robber mask. Which was really weird. "Why would the robber leave this behind? It's as if he...had to take it off in order to see the couch properly! Like he needed his glasses or something! I'm starting to suspect who the culprit is." "Seedy! Come and write another clue!" Diamond yelled, making Detective seed run very fast towards her, pad and pen ready. "What's the clue Diamond?" "A robber's mask." "Why would the robber leave this big of a clue behind? It's as if he wanted us to catch him!" "Or if he had to take it off to put on his glasses so that he could see properly. And then he forgot about it while he was pulling the couch out of the shop. It only makes sense." "Then do you know who the culprit is?" "I might but, i'll need Cherry's help." Detective Diamond walked to Cherry Pastel and asked "what does your rich customer look like Ms. Pastel?" "Who? You mean Richard?" "Yes. Tell me, what does Richard look like?" "He's tall and very bulky. He's also a peach colored pegasus with brown eyes and a stylish, grey mane. He's the old rich type of colt. But very strong. And he wears glasses. Why, without them, he wouldn't be able to see anything that was in front of his own face." "Thank you for telling me this Ms. Pastel. Now, while I search for another clue, i'd like you to call Richard and tell him to come here. Alright." "Sure, but, why?" "Because I might've figured out who the culprit is." "Really?! Well then, i'll call him up right now!" Cherry Pastel walked to her red phone while Detective Diamond searched for one specific clue, one that'll prove her theory correct. And with a stroke of luck, she found a peach feather, which could only belong to a pegasus. Then she placed the hair in the evidence bag that she conveniently had, sealing the bag shut. "Seedy! Please right down another clue, darling." "Alright! What clue is it?" "The final clue. A pegasus feather." Detective Seed wrote that down and then asked "How is this a clue?" "It's a clue because the culprit is a peach pegasus." And on cue, the bulky, tall, peach pegasus colt entered the shop, the door slammed behind him. "Why was I called here?!" "Because you stole Cherry's sofa!" Diamond yelled accusingly. "Me?! I'm the one who prepaid for the couch! Why would I steal it?" "Because you couldn't wait for it's shipment to your house next week. You just had to have that couch now!" "That's ridiculous! You certainly can't prove that I did this!" "Oh yes I can and I will!" "Than tell me, Detective, what evidence do you have that can prove I was the culprit?" "I found hoofprints that lead from the spot where the couch was all the way to the front door! And from how large your hooves are, the hoofprints match up!" Cherry looked at his hooves and then the hoofprints, both looked like they were the same size. "They do match up." "But there's more! I also found out that all of the alarms in this store were deactivated. And since you've been in this store for a very long time, it's obvious that you'd know the alarms and how to disconnect the wires so that when you stole the sofa, the alarms wouldn't sound. And you also seem to be very strong, and only a strong colt could pull that huge sofa on his own." "Well you are pretty strong, Rich." Cherry said, totally agreeing with Diamond. "Still! This doesn't prove I did it! There are a lot of strong colts out there in Foaltropolis, how do you know it was me!?" "Because I also found this mask! And the only way you could've left it here was because you could barely see and needed to put your glasses on. And while you scrambled to get out before Cherry could wake up, you forgot all about your mask and left it behind." "Any colt could've done that. It still proves nothing!" "Well, than this will prove that you did it! See this feather, it belongs to your wing. And oh, you're a pegasus. Go figure that your body fits the description of this scene. So therefore, you are the culprit!" "No! You're wrong! Cherry, you don't believe her, do you?" "Yes, I do. Don't deny that you stole my couch cause you were impatient. You are a very impatient colt afterall. What Detective Diamond is saying makes a lot of sense." "Ugh! Fine, I did it! You caught me! Are you happy now!" "Yes, yes I am." "Thanks so much! I'll call the police and have him thrown in jail for theft!" Cherry thanked. "You're welcome!" "Alright Seed, let's go home. We deserve it." "Yes, and like always, another crime has been solved by Detectives Seed and Diamond!" "And the end." Dash finished. "So, did you guys like it?" "Wike it? I WOVED it!" Rarity yelled. "Great! Did you enjoy it Applejack?" "Yeah but, Seedy didn't exactwy talk much." "I know, but she was more of the quiet type, unlike Diamond Delight, who could actually speak her mind." "Yeah, weww gweat stowy!" "Thanks guys. Well, now it's beddy by time." "Aww! Do we have ta?" Rarity whined. "I not tired wet!" Aj added. "Me neither." "Well, you have to go to bed. I mean, you are foals. Besides, sleeping is very relaxing, isn't it?" Dash asked. "I gwess I a *yawn* wittle tired." Rarity said, rubbing her eyes a little. "Yes. And that is why you have to go to bed." Rainbow reasoned. Rarity yawned again and then tiredly asked "Mama, can we have our pacis?" Rainbow and Aj were both shocked to hear Rarity call her 'Mama'. But, Rainbow just took out two pacifiers from one of the stores bags and said "yes you can, sweetie." And the two pacifiers were plopped into Aj and Rarity's mouth, Rarity started suckling, making herself even more tired, Applejack just started getting sleepy as she rubbed her eyes a little. Rainbow tucked the two foals in bed and then, without waking the now sleeping foals, she tucked herself in, laying up against Rarity and Applejack to give her foals warmth. She kissed Rarity and Aj lightly on the forehead and whispered "goodnight my little foals." Then Rainbow, Rarity, and Applejack slept peacefully in the castle's guest bedroom. > Chapter 4- From Foals to Adults > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunlight started to peek through the windows. And soon the sun came blazing through the window, waking Dash up. "Ugh." Dash groaned, she really wanted to stay in bed with her foals but she had to wake up, the sun was begging her to as more light shined through the window and onto Rainbow's half-awake face. She lightly nudged Applejack and Rarity with her nose, trying to wake up the sleepy foals. "Rarity, Applejack, waky, waky." Rarity's eyes opened slightly and she lisped "huh?" through her pacifier. "Waky, waky!" Rainbow said louder, waking both herself and the foals up. Aj yawned and then sleepily asked through her pacifier "is it mownin' aweady.?" "It sure is. Now, before we go downstairs for breakfast, i'm gonna check your diapers to see if they're wet. Okay?" "Otay mama." They said in unison, their pacis falling out of their mouths, before yawning again. Rainbow laid the foals down on the floor and unbuttoned their onesies, taking them off. Once she did, they showed two soggy, yellow, heavily used diapers, the stench of urine going up her nostrils. Rainbow gagged "Ew! You definitely need diaper changes." Rainbow got up and gathered all of the needed supplies and then headed back to her foals and began the diaper change. She untaped both soggy diapers off of their bottoms and folded them up into a ball, throwing them in the garbage near the guest bed. Then she wiped their bottoms with some wipes, making the foals kick their legs from the cold feeling the wipes gave them, but Rainbow managed. After that she took out two new diapers and placed them under both foals bottoms. Then she rubbed on some rash cream and sprinkled a lot of foal powder on both bottoms. Finally, she brought the front of the diapers up and onto their bellies, and taped it up using the side tabs. She gave each of their diapers a few pats, sending small puffs of foal powder out from the leg holes of the diaper. "There you go, nice and fresh." Rainbow said, having a slight motherly coo to her voice. "Tankee Dashie." Aj said. Aj and Rarity tried suckling on their pacifiers, not realizing that they fell out, but just suckled on air, making them ask "where's our pacis?" Rarity was about to cry when Rainbow suddenly took the two pacifiers from the floor, cleaned them, and then popped them in their mouths, making them happy as they suckled. "There ya go, there's your pacis." Rainbow Dash placed the two foals onto her back and walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. She placed the two foals in their highchairs and walked to the fridge. She pulled out the jar of applesauce and closed the fridge door. She took out a metal spoon and opened the jar of applesauce. She took out her foalified friends' paci's, making them sniffle and almost cry, but Dash was able to tell them something before they could shed a tear. "You need to eat breakfast. And you can't eat when you've got a pacifier in your mouth, right?" "Yeah, you awe wight. Bu, cawn we wave dem back afwerward?" Aj asked. "Yes of course." Rainbow answered, tiredly smiling. "Otay! Tankee!" "You're welcome. Now, open wide for num nums." Rainbow cooed in a tired voice. The foals obeyed her and opened their mouths, ready for their food. Rainbow dipped the metal spoon in the jar and fed the first few bites to Applejack, who gobbled it down like there was no tomorrow. Rainbow lightly scolded "now, now, you know not to eat your food so fast." Applejack blushed and replied "sowwy mama." "It's alright Applejack, just take it easy." "Otay." "Alright Rarity, your turn." Rarity kept her mouth open as Rainbow fed her spoonfuls of applesauce. "There. Now that your bellies are full of applesauce, here are your pacis." Rainbow Dash placed each paci in their mouths, making the foals suckle happily. Rainbow dash took the two foals out of their highchairs and placed them over in the main foyer, letting them play. She ran upstairs and grabbed a few plushies for the two to play with. She came back downstairs and dropped the pile of toys on the foals, making them giggle at how soft the pile was. Rainbow Dash smiled and flew to the kitchen to quickly make some coffee. 'Hopefully the foals will be alright.' Applejack crawled out from underneath the pile of toys, holding a teddy bear. She named him Mr. Snuggle Wuggle. Rarity did the same, holding a pink elephant. She named her Ellie. Rarity and Applejack began to play with them. Both talking in their stuffed toys voices. "Hi dere. I am Mista Snuggawe Wuggwe. Pweasure ta meet ya." "Hi. I am Ewwie." "Hi dere Ewwie. Wanna pway hide an week wit me?" "How awout Tag! I weawwy wove ta pway tag." "Sure. Wet's pway tag! You it!" Mr. Snuggle Wuggle tapped Ellie on the shoulder and began to run. "I gonna get ya!" Ellie said, running towards him. "Not if I can hewp it!" The two kept running for hours until Ellie finally caught Mr. Snuggle Wuggle. "Ha! I caught ya!" "Ya sure did. Wat do ya wanna pway now?" "How awout bwockies! Whoeva builds da biggest towa wins!" "Otay! You on!" Ellie and Mr. Snuggle Wuggle started building their towers as high as possible, until half of Mr. Snuggle Wuggle's tower fell on top of him. Which meant that Ellie won. "Yay! I won awain!" "Ya, ya. Weww, how awout we take a bweak?" Applejack went back into her regular voice, suggesting that she wanted to play a different game. "Otay." Rarity replied in her normal voice. Rarity asked Applejack "Wanna pway pawwycake?" "Sure." Applejack and Rarity started chanting while bumping their hooves. "Pawwycake, Pawwycake, baka's cowt. Bake me a cake as fast as a bolt. Kiss it and hug it, and mark it wit a E. Than put it in da oven for Ewwie and me!" "For Ewwie?" "Ya. It whyms." "Na-uh!" "Ya-uh!" "Na-uh!" "Ya-uh!" Rainbow Dash swirled into the room and heard the argument between the two foals. "Hey, Hey, Hey! What's going on in here?" "Mama! Wawity and I were jus pwayin' pawwycake. And I was tewwing Wawity dat Ewwie don whyme wit me!" "Ya it does!" "No it doesn!" "Ya it does!" "No it doesn!" "Hey! Break it up. There's no reason to argue over something like that." "Ya. Though I was wight!" Aj shouted, which made Rarity tackle her with tickles! Applejack kept laughing until she peed her diaper, making it squishy, but Aj loved the feeling and just kept laughing as Rarity kept tickling. Applejack later cried out "Wawity! Stop, stop! I weiwd, you wight I wrong, jus stop tickwing me!" Rarity ceased her tickling and Applejack sighed, standing back up, her yellow diaper sagging. Rainbow caught this and picked Applejack up "alright Aj. It's time for a diaper change." Rarity giggled at Rainbow's sing song voice, but that caused Applejack to blush. Rainbow Dash quickly placed Aj on the floor and changed her diaper, pulling the front up to her chest and taping it. Aj giggled as the new diaper was being secured. Applejack got up and ran to Rarity, tackling her with revenge tickles, making Rainbow D'aww at this. "Now I da tickwe monsta!" Aj shouted, tickling Rarity with all her might. Rarity kept laughing until a little stream of pee flowed into her now partially-yellow diaper, but Rarity didn't pay attention. She rolled over and on top of Aj, tickling her. The two kept at it for quite sometime until they were both worn out. "What do ya wanna do now?" Rarity asked. "I kinda want ta go outside to da pawk." "Weawwy! But, won other ponies see us?" "Yeah, but dey could jus miswake us fow two weawwy cute foaws dat Wainbow is foalsitting." "Twue. Wet's ask Mama." Rarity and Applejack ran up to Rainbow Dash and started pulling on her leg, grabbing her attention. "Hey, cuties. What do ya need?" "Can we go outwide, Mama?" "You wanna go outside?! What if somepony sees you, particularly any of our friends?!" "Dey could jus miswake us fow two weawwy cute foals dat you awe foawsitting?" "True. And I could always make up a story...alright! It's settled, we'll go outside to the park!" The foals cheered and couldn't wait to go outside to finally get some fresh air. Rainbow Dash quickly grabbed the foal carrier and placed it on her back, she was getting the hang of this. She placed Rarity on the left and Applejack on the right. Before she walked out she packed herself a diaper bag. Then, she walked out of the castle and smelled the fresh air as the door closed behind her. Rainbow walked towards the big park on Green St. The two foals were excited to stretch their legs. Eager, the two foals began whining, making Dash smile as she took the out of the carrier, letting them roam around on the fresh cut grass. "Be careful! And if you want to go on the swings come get me and i'll swing you!" "Otay Mama!" Rainbow sighed as she sat down on the nearest park bench, watching her foals play happily in the sunshine. "Wow! Wowwing in da gwass feews gweat, don it Appwejack?" "Ya! You wanna pway tag on da pwaygwound?" "You on! Whoeva wuns to da swides wast is it!" Rarity and Aj started running, both not wanting to be last. In the end, Applejack won and that means that Rarity has to be it. Rarity smiled and was about to tag Applejack right then and there, but Applejack was quick enough to run up the steps and into the huge playground. It was full of plastic slides and crawl tunnels. It was like a maze, but fun! Applejack didn't waste anytime since Rarity was right behind her. So, she quickly crawled through the pink tunnel, hoping that Rarity didn't see her. But, she did and she heard Rarity coming after her, so she ran and made her great escape down a slide, running as fast as she could. Rarity saw her and followed her, making Aj run even more. But, since she was a small foal, she eventually needed a break, which was perfect for Rarity, who of which tagged her and started running towards the structure while screaming happily as Aj once again ran, but this time it was to catch Rarity. "You neva gonna get me Appwejack!" Rarity yelled, crawling through the long purple tunnel, which was also connected to a slide. The slide was the longest slide! It spiraled around and around until you hit the sandy ground below, it was really fun. "Oh yes I wiww!" Aj yelled back, crawling through the same tunnel that Rarity did. Applejack raced behind her, ready to tag her. But, she missed and Rarity slid down a slide, sticking out her tongue and blowing a raspberry. That did it. Applejack ran as fast as she could and slid down that slide at a rapid pace. Rarity, who was still teasing Applejack, took a glance. What she saw was startling, she froze as Applejack tackled her, tagging her. "Appwejack! Ya scawed me! How'd ya wun so fast?" "Sowwy. Aww I did was wait tiww da wight moment ta get ya. And, since ya to buswy teasin' me, it was da perfect moment ta tag ya! But, I didn't mean ta scawe ya." "Dat's awight. Jus, don't do it awain, otay." "Otay. What do ya wanna do now?" "How awout-" A year old purple colt with a messy lavender mane and tail waddled up to them. "H-hewwo." He shyle greeted. His bright blue eyes staring at the ground. "Hi. I Wawity and dis is my fwiend Appwejack." "Howdy." "Do-do ya wike ta pway hide an week?" "Ya! Wanna pway?" Applejack asked. "S-sure." "Gweat! Who gonna be it?" "Uh. How awout, whoeva is wast ta da pwagwounds has ta be it?" Applejack. "Dat's fair." "How awout you? What's ya name by da way?" "I-i'm Buwwy Taiw." Bunny Tail said, blushing at his girly name. "Buwwy Taiw. I wove dat name. So, is dat faiw ta ya?" "Ya. Wet's go!" Bunny Tail began running to the playground stairs, not wanting to be it. "Come on Appwejack, wet's go before one of us is it." Rarity and Applejack ran up the steps. It was obvious that Bunny Tail wouldn't be the one it. While the foals were playing, on the park bench where Rainbow Dash sat, a young light pink mare with a bright red mane and tail had just sat next to her. Her cutie mark was a picture of a gold watch and bright cherry-red lipstick. Rainbow Dash took notice of the mare and started up a conversation as she saw her two foals playing with another foal. "That foal yours?" "Hmm? Oh yeah. His name's Bunny Tail. I'm Cherry Gold. Nice to meet you Ms.?" "Dash. Rainbow Dash." "Ms. Dash. Are those your foals?" "Yeah...I mean, no, i'm just foalsitting for my out of town cousins." "Oh. Looks like they're having a wonderful time. Looks like Bunny's playing hide and seek with them." "Yeah. It does, doesn't it?" "Indeed. Anyways. Do you think we should break up their fun?" "Nah. Let them play. After they finish this round of Hide and Seek than we'll go." "Wow. You are good. Bunny always hated when I broke up his Hide and Seek fun." "Thanks." Rainbow blushed. "No problem." The two mares watched as their foals frolicked and played Hide and Seek. Applejack was hiding behind a bush while Rarity and Bunny Tail were searching for her. Applejack giggled, which made the bush rattle with her laughter, which gave away her position. Applejack decided to run out of the bushes, but got tackled by Bunny Tail and Rarity. They all ended up laughing. "Wow, you awe good Buwwy Wail." Applejack complemented, making him blush. "Tankee Appwejack." "You wewcome." "What do ya wanna pway ne-" Rarity stopped as she heard her tummy making funny noises. "Hey! Why my tummy makin' fuwwy woises?" Rarity inquired. "I dun- Hey! My tummy makin' dose woises too." "Wet's go teww Mama. Buwwy, awe ya comin'?" "Ya. I tink my tummy makin' dat too." The foals ended their fun and crawled on over to their Moms. Rainbow and Cherry took notice and went up to them. Rainbow Dash and Cherry Gold bent down till they were at the same eye level as their foals. Rainbow was the one to ask first. "Hey guys. Something wrong?" "Mama, our tummies makin' fuwwy sounds. Why?" Rainbow Dash suppressed her giggles and answered her adorable foal friend. "Your tummy's making that noise to tell you that your hungry, silly. And from what i'm hearing, I think it's lunch time!" "Yay wunch!" The foals cheered in unison. "Hey, Dash?" "Yes, Ms. Gold?" Rainbow Dash said mockingly. "Heh. Very funny. Anyways, wanna have lunch with us. I'm sure your foals would love to see Bunny Tail more." "Sure. Sounds great! Maybe after we can hit an ice cream stand." "Ice Cweam!" Bunny Tail exclaimed. "Yay! I wan' Ice Cweam!" Rarity and Applejack both said in unison. "Alright. It's settled then." "Great! Where do you wanna eat?" "Hmm. How about 'Hayburger's Shack'?" Rainbow suggested. "Good Idea. I love their vegan daffodil burger with side of Caesar salad." "Great! Let's go!" Rainbow Dash placed Applejack and Rarity in the foal carrier, while Cherry buckled Bunny into a stroller. The two Moms walked away from the park and to 'Hayburger's Shack'. They made it to 'Hayburgers Shack' and were waiting in line to be seated. They were waiting behind 2 earth mares. But, finally, they made their way to the front of the line, where a bulky, white stallion stood. "Bulk Biceps?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah?" "How many jobs do you have?" "About 15. Now, back to my job. Dine-in or Take-out?" "Uh, Dine-in...I guess." "Table for..." "Table for...1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Table for 5, please." Rainbow counted. "Alright right this way." Bulk showed the mares to their table. It was a round table with 5 chairs around it. "Actually, Bulk. Can we get 3 foal seats?" Bulk finally took notice to the foals and said "of course! I'm so sorry. I didn't even see them there. Here, let me push some of the chairs away." Bulk pushed 3 of the chairs to the side and ran to get 3 of their foal seats. He ran back with all 3 foal seats on his back. He placed them down and around the table, and allowed them to place their foals inside. Rainbow took Rarity out of the carrier first and placed her in the foal seat on the right side of her. Buckling her in securely. She did the same with Applejack but placed her in the foal seat on the left side of her. Buckling her securely as well. Rainbow Dash took off her pink carrier and placed it on the floor. When she looked up she saw that Cherry already placed her son in the foal seat. "Wow. You're really fast with this stuff." Rainbow complemented, actually surprised that a pony could be more fast than her. "Gee, thanks. You're not so bad yourself you know." Cherry blushed. "Ha, thanks." Bulk came back with the menus. 2 Adult menus and 1 kids menu. "Here are the menus. I'll come back soon to take your order." "Thanks Bulk, but. Do you got anything like Applesauce or Yogurt or something. Our foals don't have much teeth yet. They need something mushy and easy to swallow." "Um, i'm not sure. Though, I think we've got some oatmeal laying around from breakfast." "Oatmeal? I didn't know you guys did breakfast." "Oh we do. For breakfast we have eggs, haycakes, and mini pies. As well as oatmeal. And i'm pretty sure we've got maple brown sugar flavored oatmeal." "That's good with me. How about you Cherry?" "Bunny loves oatmeal! I'm sure he'll be fine with eating it for lunch." "Great! But, looks like I can't be your waiter. I'll get Pinkie Pie to-" "DASHIE!" Pinkie Pie screeched. "P-Pinkie? Y-you work here?" Dash asked, sweating. "Yep! Say, those foals look a lot like Aj and Rarity. But, that's just silly! Who's the lucky mare?" "No-nopony. I-i'm foalsitting for my out of town cousins." "Ah. I see. So, i'll be your waitress for today. So, wanna start off with drinks or..." "Yes! I-i'll have a large strawberry milkshake." "Alright. How about you? Hey, what's your name?" "I'm Cherry Gold, nice to meet you Ms. Pie. And this is my son, Bunny Tail." "Aww, he's so cute! Anyways, what would you like to drink?" "Thanks. I think i'll have a triple-berry smoothie." "Ok. What size?" "Uh, medium please." "Ok. What about your foals. What would they like?" "Um, I think they'd like some chocolate milk." Dashie said. "Ok Dashie! How about your foal?" "He'll have a bottle of chocolate milk as well." "Alright. I'll have your order ready shortly!" Pinkie Pie said, running off to the kitchen. "Mama. Can we pway sometin?" Rarity asked, who was already bored. "Sorry, but this is a restaurant. And unless there's a playplace in here, you can't play. Besides, i'm sure Pinkie will be back soon with your bottles. You can afford to sit there quietly for a while." "Otay Mama." Cherry decided to strike up a conversation with her new friend. "So. How are things going?" "Oh, everything's going great! I'm a Wonderbolt and i've got a lot of friends and everything's good. How about you?" "Oh. I'm doing great too. So, you're a Wonderbolt?" "Yeah I am!" "Is it hard?" "Nah. All I do is train, fly, race, and then hit the kitchen for dinner and then I go back to my house. It's a pretty fast day for me." "Oh. So, what do you train for?" "I train for Wonderbolt Aerial Relays and Races as well as Wonderbolt stunt shows, kind of like the ones that they perform at the Grand Galloping Gala." "Wow, sounds awesome. Do you have a pet?" "Yeah. I've got a pet tortoise named Tank. I love that little guy, and he loves me." "Aww, how sweet. We have a pet dog." "Cool. What breed?" "Boxer. She's a great addition to our family, and Bunny Tail loves her." "Cool. What's her name?" "Mallie." "What a beautiful name for a Boxer dog." "Thank you." That's when Pinkie Pie strolled along, one hoof holding a silver tray, which had all of their drinks. The foals licked their lips as Pinkie placed their bottles of chocolate milk on their foal seats. The foals immediatly took their bottles and suckled, tasting the sweet, chocolatey taste of their milk, making them smile as they drank. Pinkie placed Cherry's triple-berry smoothie on the table and Dash's strawberry milkshake on the table, all smiled as the drank their drinks. "Thank you." Cherry thanked. "No problem Cherry Gold!" Pinkie Pie announced while giggling. Pinkie Pie than asked "have you all decided what to order?" "Um, i'll go first." Cherry said. Pinkie Pie awaited her answer as she took out her pad of paper and pen. "I'll have a vegan, daffodil hayburger with a side of Caesar salad, please." Pinkie Pie scribbled the order down. "Alright. What toppings?" "Um. Lettuce, tomato, green olives, oats, and extra daffodils." "Alright. Any sauces?" "Oh, right! Just ketchup, please." Cherry added. "Okie dokie loki! How about you Dash?" "I'll have a double veggie hayburger with extra cheese." "Ok. What toppings?" "Um, lettuce, tomato, green and black olives, pickles, daisies, and hay fries." "Alright. Any ketchup?" "Yes! Ketchup and Mayo!" "Got it!" Pinkie Pie said, scribbling the order down. "What side?" "Um. Horseshoe fries. Extra Crispy please!" "You got it! And, how about your little foals?" "Um. Bulk did mention oatmeal?" "Right! We still have plenty leftover. What flavor?" "Well. What flavors do you have?" "Let's see. We have Maple Brown Sugar. Cinnamon Spice. Apple Cinnamon. And Regular." "You have all those flavors left?!" "Yeah. Not many ponies like oatmeal. I don't know why." "Ok. Well what do you guys want?" Applejack spoke first "Appwe Cinnawon. Pwease." "Alright. 1 Apple Cinnamon." "Mapwe Bwown Wugar, pwease." "1 Maple Brown Sugar." "An Ciwwimon Swice." "And Cinnamon Spice. Ok! I'll be back soon." Pinkie Pie bounced away to the kitchen where the chefs were. Rainbow Dash started the conversation this time "what do you do for a living?" "Oh, me. I'm a Fashion Designer." "Cool. What type of clothes do you design?" "Fancy dresses. Suits. And foal clothes." "Cool. Do you have a boutique?" "Yeah, but it's in Canterlot. So, I have to get a sitter for Bunny Tail. He hates it when i'm gone for the day." "Oh. What about his dad?" "His father works for most of the day. He rarely spends time with him. " "I'm sorry to hear that." "Yeah, well that's what happens when you have snooty parents who hate their own child." Cherry said coldly. "He had terrible parents?" "Yeah. My husband, Perry Gold, had horrible parents. His mom, Jewel Gold, hated him because he didn't want to be a jeweler, he wanted to be a salespony for gold watches. And his dad, Barry Gold, hated him for being an earth pony and for having a golden watch as his cutie mark. He says that his parents NEVER loved him, and he was abused by them verbally, not physically, though it caused him to use his time doing work. He always buried himself in his work instead of playing with his son. But, to make up for it, he reads him bedtime stories. But, i'm the one who does everything else. And it's sad. If it weren't for his parents, I bet he would've hung out with Bunny more." "That sounds really serious. I hope his parents are in jail for their harassment. He's their son for Celestia's sake! Why wouldn't the love him? Were his parents unicorns?" "Yes. And they were really wealthy. They don't even like me." "That sucks. If there's anything I can do-" "No, no. I'm good. Bunny's good. And Perry still reads Bunny bedtime stories, so it's all good." "Yeah! Dada weads me stowies in his siwwy voices! I know he woves me." "Aww, Daddy does love you. Yes he does, yes he does!" Cherry cooed, making Bunny laugh. Pinkie Pie came up not a moment too soon with her tray of food. "Alright. Cherry, here's your vegan daffodil burger. With extra daffodils. And Caesar salad." Pinkie said, placing the order in front of Cherry. "Thank you Pinkie Pie." "You are most certainly welcome Ms. Gold." Pinkie giggled, and so did Dash. "And Dash, here's yours. Double veggie patty with extra cheese! And Horseshoe fries!" Pinkie placed the order in front of her friend, Rainbow Dash. "Who's got Cinnamon Spice?" Pinkie sing-songed, "Me, me!" Bunny yelled excitedly, bouncing up and down. "Here ya go!" Pinkie placed the food in front of Bunny. Pinkie reached into her mane and grabbed a bib, placing it around Bunny's neck. "There ya go! So that you don't get messy!" "Who's got Apple Cinnamon?" "Me, me!" Aj cheered, bouncing up and down as it was placed in front of her. Pinkie Pie also grabbed a bib for her, placing it around her neck. "And I can guess who's got Maple Brown Sugar!" Pinkie sang as she placed the oatmeal in front of Rarity. She secured a bib around her neck as well. She then gave all the foals plastic spoons and Cherry a metal fork. "There ya go! Enjoy!" "We will Pinkie!" Dash called as Pinkie took a break. "This looks delicious. Doesn't it?" "Yep. Sure does. But, let's feed our hungry foals first." Cherry suggested as she spooned some oatmeal for Bunny Tail, which he ate immediately. "Oh, right!" Rainbow dipped her plastic spoon in the goop and fed it to Rarity. She loved the Maple Sugar taste. "Hey! Mama I wan some!" Applejack whined. Rainbow Dash sighed and started spoon feeding Applejack some of hers. Applejack ate it up like there was no tomorrow. Rainbow Dash kept feeding the two foals their oatmeal back and forth until they were finished. They were burped and then seated. Same with Bunny Tail. The foals went to drinking their chocolate milk while the adults ate their delicious meal. There was an awkward silence between the two until Dash finally broke the silence and asked "so, you live in Ponyville?" Cherry stopped eating her burger and answered "yeah. We live in a large house in town square. House 214." "Oh. I've passed that house at least everyday." "Oh. I Can't believe I haven't seen you before." "Yeah, Weird." The two mares went back to eating their lunch. Rainbow Dash, Cherry and the the foals headed to the best ice cream parlor known to ponykind, 'Minty Fresh's Treats and Parlor'. Once they entered they were greeted by a long lineup. This lineup could've rivaled Sugarcube Corners' line up when it's busy. "Hopefully the foals won't be too disappointed if most flavors are out." Dash muttered. The two mares waited in line for nearly 6 hours before their turn. And by now it was 3:30 pm. But, finally they were next. "Ya! Ice weam!" The fouls shouted excitedly in unison. "Alright you three, settle down." Dash said, barely keeping a straight face. At the counter a young, minty green unicorn mare awaited them. Her mane was smooth like toothpaste. It was bright blue and white. Her eyes were pine green and her smile was cute. "Hi. I'm Minty Fresh. What would you and your foals like today?" "Hey Minty. Can I get two hard served ice cream cones?" "Sure. What type of cone? We've got Sugar, Waffle, Regular and Chocolate dipped." "They'll have Waffle cones. Make sure it's small." "Of course! How many scoops for each?" "Just one." "Alright, is that all?" "No. Cherry?" Rainbow bumped Cherry, causing her to stutter before fully talking. "Uh, right. Can I also get a hard serve ice cream scoop on a Waffle cone?" "Sure! That'll be twelve bits. Uh, are you two gonna be paying together or separately?" "Together." Dash said, taking out twelve bits for Minty. "Thank you Dash." Cherry thanked "you didn't have to do that." "I know. But, I had enough bits, so I payed for it." "Ok you guys. Go ahead and pick out your ice cream flavor, i'll scoop it for you!" Minty cooed, levitating her scoop and getting ready to serve. Rarity and Applejack tried looking at the ice cream behind the glass, but they couldn't. "Mama, we can't see. Can ya move use cwoser, pwease?" Aj asked. "Of course." Rainbow Dash took Applejack and Rarity out of the foal carrier and pressed them against the glass window, behind it were different ice cream flavors. The foals licked their lips as they scanned the flavors of ice cream. Finally, after a while of scanning, the foals decided which ice cream flavor they wanted. While Bunny Tail was lifted towards the glass, he too made his final decision. "Mama! I wan da wint wip one!" Aj exclaimed, pointing to Mint Chocolate Chip. "Ok, one Mint Chocolate Chip." Minty said, scooping a big scoop of the Mint-Green substance onto the waffle cone. Hoofing it to Applejack using her levitation. Rarity excitedly said "I wan stwabewwy. Stwabewwy-bwast!" "Okie dokie!" Minty cooed, scooping a big proportion of Strawberry-Blast onto the waffle cone. Levitating it to Rarity. She grasped it with her hooves and started licking. So did Applejack. "I wan Werry Warcia!" Bunny Tail shouted, pressing his purple hoof against the glass excitedly. "Alright Bunny, calm down. Minty Fresh will give it to you." Cherry lightly scolded, giggling a little. "Otay. Sowwy." "Aww, that's alright little Bunny. Here ya go!" She scooped the ice cream for Bunny and levitated it to him. He took it with is hooves and started licking the delicious ice cream as he was seated back in his stroller while Aj and Rarity were seated back in their carrier. The foals just licked as the adults made their way out of the parlor. "Wow. That was a great day. But, looks like it's 4:30! Oh gosh, I would love to stay and chat some more but we've got to go. I-I'm pretty sure that my cousin would like her two precious foals back." Rainbow explained to Cherry. "Ok. I think Bunny's father gets home pretty soon. I should probably go home too." Cherry said. "Alright, bye!" Rainbow waved goodbye as she ran to Twilight's home. 'Oh I hope Twilight, Starlight, and Spike aren't home yet! What if they discover the foal stuff in the guest bedroom!? I-I'd have ta tell them what truly happened. Including the necklaces and their regression!' Rainbow literally raced home, hoping she'd get their before Twilight. While the foals face's dripped with ice cream. The foals couldn't exactly eat the cone part so they threw it on the ground. Rainbow panted heavily as she opened the castle doors. After that, she found all the foal stuff she bought lying on the ground, next to Twilight, Starlight, and Spike! Who were all so confused. "Rainbow Dash?" Twilight started. "Yeah...?" "Why was there foal stuff in the castle's guest bedroom?" "Um. What foal stuff?" Rainbow asked. "Don't play dumb with me, Dash. I know what I saw. Where did all the foal supplies come from?" "I-I. *Sigh*, I bought them." "Why? And why did you bring them here while I was out?" "I accidentally regressed Rarity and Applejack into foals. It's a really long story." "Uh-huh. So, how'd ya do it?" "I was flying in the sky yesterday morning when I came across two plain lavender necklaces. One had a diamond engraved in it, while the other one was an apple. I thought it would look great on Rarity and Applejack. But turns out, they turned them both into foals. And if you don't believe me, than look inside the foal carrier strapped to my back." Twilight, not believing Dash, looked inside, and sure enough, two little foals with messy faces were inside. Both foals looked exactly like Applejack and Rarity. Wow, Dash really did regress them. "Well, i'll be. Also, they're faces are messy from the ice cream they just had." Twilight pointed out, cleaning their faces off with her magic. "Twi-Twiwight?" Applejack and Rarity asked, embarrassed. "Yes, little ones. How was this...treatment?" "It was weawwy wewaxin' an fun! I would wonsider doin' it awain." Rarity explained as she and Applejack were placed on the carpeted floor. "Really Rarity? You actually enjoy being a foal?" Starlight asked. "Uh. Yeah. tho, it wouwd be mowe bewwer if we were jus powwy twained toddwers in puww-ups." Rarity admitted, blushing a bit. "Yeah. Well, was Rainbow Dash a good mother?" "Yep. She took cawe of us weawwy weww. I wewwy woved today. But, awe we gonna stay wike dis foweva?" Applejack inquired. "Um. I think you have to admit that it was relaxing and awesome. You know, something positive. Then you should turn back to normal." "Oh. Weww, if I had ta descwibed today, I would say wewakin' or cawefwee. I weawwy an twuly felt wike mysewf as a foaw. An wike I said, I wouwd wonsider doin' dis awain wit ya, Mama." Rarity explained. "Me woo! I woved today, In fact, it couwd be wonsidered da best day eva! Tankee Mama!" Applejack cried, hugging Rainbow Dash's front leg. "I won' fowet toway." "Aww, neither will I you guys. Thanks for being the best for me. You really made this experience fun. I also hope we could do it again, even though that's weird. But, I really thought it was a great day, and you guys were sooo adorable!" Rainbow cooed. Rarity and Applejack blushed as a bright white light surrounded them. "Hey, what's happenin'?" Applejack asked worriedly. > Chapter 5- The Aftermath > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was a sudden flash, and after a while, Rainbow's two foalified friends were now adults, just like before. No diapers, no nothing. They came to a landing on the floor. The white light ceased and let everyone else in the room see them, the lavender necklaces laid on the floor beside them. "Woah, what in the hay?" Applejack asked, opening her eyes. What she saw shocked her, and Rarity was shocked too. "Rarity?!" "Applejack?!" "You're an adult?!" They asked in unison. They even rubbed their eyes to see if they were dreaming, but they weren't. "We're mares again, Applejack, mares!" Rarity yelled, she even jumped up and down. "Woah, calm yourself Rarity." "S-sorry darling. I'm just soooo happy to be a mare again! Aren't you?" "O-of course I am. Although, it feels weird not wearing a diaper. Guess I got used to them. But, I never liked the feeling." "Me neither darling." "Okay, okay. You're adults now, that's great. But, what about those foal supplies? Are we just going to let them sit here or-" Starlight got interrupted by Rarity. "Of course not darling! We simply must get them into the guest bedroom's closet and clean up." "Good. Spike, wanna help?" Starlight asked. "Nope. I'm gonna read my comics." Spike replied. "Boys." "I HEARD THAT!" Spike yelled as he made his way to his room. "Anyways. We didn't leave much of a mess. Just gotta return the highchairs to Mrs. Cake. I'll be back!" Rainbow said as she zipped out the door with the highchairs. "And, we could just use magic." Starlight offered as she got her horn glowing. She then cast a spell and everything was in tip-top shape like before. And even the foal supplies were gone. "Good. So, now that the mess is taken care of, we're gonna unpack. And then dinner." Twilight said. She and Starlight grabbed their huge suitcases and walked up the stairs and to their bedrooms. "Oh. Thank you Twilight, but i'm full from breakfast, lunch, and our little treat." Rarity said, blushing. "Oh. Well how about you Aj? Rainbow?" "Uh, thanks but, I don't think my family will be happy to find out i've been gone for so long." Rainbow zipped back in to answer Twi's question. "Sure! What's on the menu?" "Carrot dogs with fries." Twilight answered. "Awesome! When do you want me to swing by?" Rainbow asked. "Oh. I'll be making them shortly with Starlight. You wanna help?" "Sure. Go unpack and i'll see you guys in the kitchen." Rainbow ran to the kitchen in a matter of seconds. While Starlight and Twilight were going up to their rooms to unpack. Rainbow waited patiently in the kitchen for hours, but finally, Twilight and Starlight showed up. "Hey. What took you guys so long?" Rainbow asked. Twilight just rolled her eyes and asked "do you know how much stuff was in our suitcases?" "No." "Well then, you shouldn't be talking like that." "Sorry, Twi. I'm just hungry. Even though I had a hayburger and horseshoe fries for lunch. WITH a strawberry milkshake." "It's ok. We're a bit hungry too." Starlight broke the ice and said "ok! Let's get started on making those delicious carrot dogs!" "Sure! We gotta cookbook Twi?" "Yep. I'll go get it out." Twilight said, searching the pantry for it. "AHA!" Twilight shouted, levitating the cookbook over to the table. "Oh. Good. Now, let's get started!" Rainbow Dash yelled, quickly scanning the ingredients. She quickly grabbed those ingredients and placed them all over the table. On the table laid buns, carrots and the different toppings to put on top. Starlight filled a pot with hot water, she placed the pot on the stove, letting it boil. "Alright. Let's start putting the carrots in." Dash suggested. "No, Rainbow. The cookbook says that we have to boil the water for 1 minute first!" "Hasn't it been more than 1 minute?" "No! I just-" "Starlight. The water is boiling. I think it's ok to place the carrots in!" Twilight interrupted. "Ugh. Fine. Go put the carrots in the boiling hot water." Starlight said with a hint of anger, but she got over it quickly. 6 Minutes later "Alright! Time to put them in a bun." Twilight levitated the three buns over and carefully took the boiled carrots out of the pot and into the buns. The carrot dogs were placed on 3 white plates. Starlight levitated them, and took to the table. Of course, Twilight turned off the stove and dumped the hot liquid in the sink. She also placed the pot in the sink and made her way to the dining room to eat. "SPIKE!"' Twilight called "CARROT DOGS!" Spike rushed downstairs to the dining room ready to eat his delicious meal. Once he sat down, Spike instantly took the ketchup, mustard, relish, and hot sauce and squirted it on his carrot dog. Starlight just giggled as Spike made a mess of himself while he ate his dinner. "Aww, maybe Spikey-Wikey should wear a bib too. I mean, look at how much ketchup and hot sauce he got all over his cute wittle face. Wouldn't you agree Twilight?" Rainbow cooed, making Spike blush in anger. "HEY! I'm NOT a baby! I don't need bibs." "Are you sure about that?" Starlight asked. "Yeah Spike, are you sure?" Twilight asked, repeating Starlight. "YES! I'm sure!" He answered angrily. Then the mares in the room started laughing. "Ok, Spikey-Wikey." Starlight laughed. She laughed so hard that she almost fell out of her chair. "Ok, Starlight. I get it was funny, but not THAT funny." Twilight said as she squirted some ketchup on her carrot dog. Starlight blushed "sorry." "Apology accepted." Spike said. "Hey, if I were you i'd be laughing too." "Thank you Spike." Starlight thanked, before placing mustard, relish, and hot sauce. Rainbow Dash's dog had everything on it. You know, the works! All the mares started eating while Spike finished up. "I'm gonna go upstairs and read my comic books some more." Spike ran up the stairs to his bedroom. Once Rainbow finished up her meal she said "thank you Twilight for this delicious carrot dog, but I gotta go now. I hope Tank's ok." "You're welcome. And, it's alright, I know you really love Tank. Bye!" Twilight waved as Rainbow flew out of the castle and into the night sky. "Uh, Twilight. Are we gonna clean this up or...?" "No. I say we take a break and play a board game!" Twilight suggested. "That sounds promising." Starlight said, intrigued. "Great, let's go!" Twilight and Starlight walked to the library where all of Twilight's favorite books and board games rested.
