Apple Bloom decided to add something extra to the love potion during Heart and hooves day. The side effects were unexpected to say the least.
This story takes place during the events of the episode "Hearts and Hooves day"
The cutie mark crusaders; in a attempt to get Cheerilee and Big mac to love each other, mix a love potion with the hearts desire potion. But insitead of the two falling in love. Big Mac is suddenly turned into a little filly named Blossom. Meanwhile Cheerilee starts thinking that the filly is her adopted daughter.
Realizing they messed up the cutie mark crusaders now have to find a cure. Before Big Mac remains a filly for the rest of his life.
It was Heart and Hooves day, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders for one reason or another had gotten the idea of putting Big Mac and Cheerilee on date thinking they be perfect for each other. Thanks to an encounter with Twilight they had found the recipe to a love potion being under the misconception that this would totally work.
“Stir with a pegasus feather” Sweetie belle reads of the book plucking one of scootaloo feather off causing the filly to eep. They stir the mixture around watching the rainbow colours mix.
As the photon tuned pink, Apple Bloom took out small container. “How about we add some hearts desire, you know just to make sure.”
“Didn’t that give you cutie pox?” Scootaloo asked cautiously.
“Mac and Cheerilee already got their cutie marks, so what’s the harm?”
Sweetie Belle looked down at the book once more. “I don’t know Appelboom, it doesn't say it part of the potion.”
“Well that book really old so who know if it is still completely accurate. “Trust me, this will help them fall in love i’m sure.”
Sweetie Belle watched as Appelboom pour some ground up pedals into the potion watching it turn a light purple. ‘I got a bad feeling about this.”
--------
Big Mac looked at Cheerilee the two having been cohorest to the same location for the third time in what felt like a very long day. The stallion felt a little embarrassed at her sister’s actions. Did she even understand what love was?
The two walked onto a small picnic blanket with two cups of a strange liquid. When Cheerilee smiled at the girls and Scootaloo chirped, “hello miss Cheerilee.”
Cheerilee cooed,”hello again girls, hello Big Mac.”
She then eyed the fillies and asked in a suspicious tone, “now would you three mind telling us why it was so important to meet you here?”
That was when Sweetie belle exclaimed, “punch!”
Cheerilee asked,”say what again?”
Sweetie Belle explained, “we made punch we were going to set up a stand and sell it but we needed somepony to taste test it first.”
Apple Bloom chirped,”yep.”
Sweetie Belle then paused poking her face at both grown ponies,”to test it together.”
Then three fillies rushed into the bushes as Cheerilee sighed and apologized to Big Mac, “i’m really sorry about this, I mentioned to the girls that I don’t have a very special somepony and I believe they’re putting us in these awkward situations because they decided it should be you.”
There was a long pause then the two both broke into laughter chuckling a little. Cheerilee then continued,”I suppose we could humor them for a moment, this punch does look delicious.”
Big Mac just gave a, “ey’yup.”
The two ponies then clinked their glasses and drank the potions together. A warmth flowed through Cheerilee as hiccuped and gave Big Mac a loving smile as he was a bit confused. The mare cooed,”Um...Big Mac...do do you want to come by my house?”
He blinked in surprise at the invitation and asked, “sure, I don’t mind but why?”
Cheerilee ground a hoof into the ground and cooed, “Oh I don’t know...I just suddenly...feel like I could make you some dinner. For all the trouble the girls caused you today.”
Big Mac shrugged. Feeling the same warm feeling wash over him as well, a smile forming on his face “I guess I am feeling a bit hungry.” He then walked off with Cheerilee towards Ponyville with the cutie mark crusaders shouting in glee. “We did it! The potion worked!”
Big Mac followed Cheerilee along through town reaching her house in no time. She opened the door cooing. “Alright, we’re here.”
She lead the stallion through humming a tune and cooed,”don’t forget to wipe your hooves on the mat dear.”
Big Mac chuckled a little as he scrubbed the dirt from his hooves on the mare’s welcome mat seeing smiling flower on it as well as he entered.
Cheerilee wasted no time putting on the stove boiling some water as she cut up vegetables and potatoes. Big Mac took a seat at the table and he felt like he shrank a little as if his body just lost a lot of mass.
He then looked up to see Cheerilee getting a napkin and tied it around his neck, he looked up with surprise seeing Cheerilee was towering over him! He gulped and asked, “Cheerilee what are you doing?”
She cooed,”What do you think? I can’t have my little colty eating dinner without his bib. We don’t want you ruining your coat dear.”
The mare went back to the stove and started pouring the vegetables into the water adding various ingredients along the way. He sat there smelling the aroma of a fresh stew now brewing as he felt his body started to shrink again. He got worried as he stared up in shock seeing that the table now stood a few feet above his head. He squeaked,”I...I’m shrinking mama!” He covered his mouth in surprise. “why did I call you mama?
Cheerilee came over with a bowl of stew and put a spoon in the bowl, “what are you talking about? Your only eight years old. Now eat your stew or no comic books tonight.” She effortless slid some books under him as an impromptu too booster seat.
Big Mac groaned feeling very confused the odd warm sensation still tingling up and down his spine.and started to eat his stew with a pout on his face. Something wasn’t right, why was he smaller and why hadn’t Cheerilee noticed?
Cheerilee smiled and nodded as she sat down by him watching the colt eat his stew. Her eyes sparkled a little as Mac shrank once again his spoon dropping onto the ground. She instinctively came around the table came and picked up the spoon that fell and scooped a spoonful of stew blowing on it lightly. “Come on sweetie finish up.”
The colt whimpered but he seemed to feel the love of Cheerilee and continued eating his stew with the mare now spoonfeeding him. “That’s it such a good colt yes you are,”
He whimpered shrinking again and he was going to fall from his seat of books only to be caught by Cheerilee who snuggled him and he whined, “mama...I I gots to go potty!”
She simply smiled as if this was normal her eyes a faint pink as she carried him to the bathroom and sat his rump on the toilet, “go on sweetie go potty.” She even held him up just in case.
Big Mac blushed trying to make sense of everything “Mama I not a cowt I a stawwion somthin’ happened to me.” His head felt fuzzy some thoughts muddied a little.
Cheerilee patronized him,”now, now Big Mac you go potty like the big colt you are.”
He groaned seeing that he couldn’t do a thing and just peed into the bowl Cheerilee clapping her hooves,”What a big boy!”
He smiled with pride up at Cheerilee bouncing. “Yeah I a big cowt! I went potty aw by mysewf!”
Cheerilee embraced him into her hooves and smothers his face in kisses, “i’m so proud of you sweetie.”
She snuggled him for a moment pausing her talking as Mac shrank more this time not only did his body shrink but his mane grew, foal fat bulged everywhere, and his face became more feminine. It didn’t take him long to realize he change gender. He tried to tell Cheerilee it had happened but only gibberish came out along with some spittle.
Cheerilee smiled down at the little filly in her hooves, the glow in her eyes faded a second later as she cooed. “There’s my little Blossom, but...oh dear we need to get you back in a diaper before you have an accident.”
She placed the filly down and dug around her bathroom cabinet and pulled out a package of newborn filly diapers. She then giggled, “aww good thing I still have these lying around.”
The filly squirmed on her chubby limbs trying to get away but Cheerilee was easily able to snatch up the filly that was once Big Mac and started padding her up in a fresh diaper. “Stop squirming Blossom.” But eventually, she was able to tape the diaper around the filly’s little rump. The mare gave it a few pats and cooed,”that’ll have to do for now, but I..I need to buy more foal stuff...You were unexpected after all being adopted.”
Blossom babbled angrily trying to say “I was not adopted! I was a big stallion! I don't know how I got turned into a fiwwy!”
Of course only gibberish came out and Cheerilee just sighed, “Seems your getting fussy. I guess a stroll will do you good., I better go to the supermarket and buy pacifiers and bottles first.” The filly was helpless as Cheerilee pulls a folded up stroller out the closet soon buckling her new foal into the seat. She watched as the foal squirmed and sighed wheeling out the door. ‘Don't worry mommy make it all better.”
---------
The mare running the foal store looked up for her book at Cheerilee stroller in wit the red and yellow filly. ‘Aww Miss Cheerilee this is a surprise.” The mare moved from behind the counter and pulled a rattle from the toy basket near by her desk. She held the toy up to the blushing foal and shook it some making it rattle and cooed. “Does little filly want to play, I bet she does.”
Blossom giggled now entranced by the rattle and tried grabbing at it with drool coming down her chin. Cheerilee smiled and wiped the filly’s mouth, “Oh she just loves it.”
The store mare hoofed the rattle to the foal and Blossoms shook it about with a smile on her face. The mare then asked,”Who is this filly Cheerilee? I mean...I don’t think you were pregnant.”
Cheerilee blushed and explained, “Oh no, I adopted the little filly and her name is Blossom, and she’s only one year old.”
The store clerk dawwed bending down to Blossom’s level, “hi Blossom welcome to Ponyville, i’m sure you’re going to love Cheerilee as your mommy.”
Blossom was too busy shaking her rattle to even notice the store clerk as she got up and asked, “did you just adopt her?”
Cheerilee nodded, “yes...I did...it was only a few hours ago and with poor preparation, it seems. I should've bought foal supplies before the adoption.” The mare looked down at her foal thinking yes that’s it she was adopted a few hours ago I'm sure of it. Despite her name, odd gaps in her memory didn’t even phase the motherly mare caught up in the fantasy.
“Well don’t you worry, we got all a mother needs.” she cooed, but seeing the filly just pout getting bored of the rattle. ‘Oh my did she get her nap on time?”
“She must need her nap but I do need a crib first.” The two listen to Blossom babbling and waving her hooves and daww. “That right Blossom we are getting you new toys, yes we are.”
The pandering baby talk was making the filly feel about as small as her body was. She pouts again trying to think but seemed to distracted by all the colours all of a sudden hardly noticing the two adults chatting about what to get her. She spotted a pink teddy bear and wiggle try to reach for it despite being buckled in.
Cheerilee awwe, ‘oh I think Blossom spotted something she likes.” The mare waved and brought the teddy down letting Blossom snuggle the plushie and squeal in delight. As Blossom played, Cheerilee went about filling the cart with various items from new pacifiers, bottles, toys, playpen, bouncers, adorable bibs, foal food, cans of formula, silly filly diapers and diaper changing supplies.
They were now in the back of the shop ordering a changing table, a highchair, and a crib. The mare was instructing some gruff moving stallions. “Now I need all of this delivered by tonight and set up before my little filly and I return home.”
One of the stallions muttered in an annoyed tone, “I get it, but miss you do realize a speedy delivery is going to be pricy.”
The mare cooed,”I don’t care, I'll pay just be sure to have it all ready before we get home or no tip.”
The stallions nodded and went off to get to work. Cheerilee clapped in delight feeling giddy. She just glad she can afford of this on her salary. The teacher shook her head, of course she could afford it why else adopt.
Blossom was caught up in her own playtime snuggling her teddy with all her might having too much fun to think of such boring adult stuff.I forgot why we even came here to this fun place. But it’s okay as long as mommy is here I don’t mind. Mommy made everything better. The little filly then suddenly felt a poke in her diaper front and looked up at her “mommy” looking down at her with a smile.
“There we go, mommy got all the things you need, now I just hope Rarity still open this late in the evening.” She popped the new pacifier into Blossom’s mouth watching as it bobbed happily and the fill eyes slump a bit. “Don’t worry mommy will get you home soon as I can for you nap nap.”
Nap nice, mommy makes everything better, listen to mama, don’t ever leave mama. Blossom thought to slump into the stroller taking a short nap as her mommy wheeled her out into the evening sun.
---------
Rarity hummed a tune as she finished a hem on her latest creation taking delight in her activities as usual. Her ears perked up at the sound the shop’s bell and made her way the main room soon spotting Cheerilee and...a filly? “Oh hello Cheerilee, I didn’t know you were foal sitting.”
“Oh no I adopted, this is my new daughter Blossom.”
“Pardon,” Rarity asked, cleaning her glasses for a moment. “Adoption? This is the first i’ve heard of this.” She stared closer the filly who was snoozing away cuddling into Cheerilee’s warm underbelly her fine eye-catching details.
Cheerilee paused for second trying to think of when she planned to adopt but was drawing another blank. That’s strange what was the reason. Then the mare remembered that she always did want to be a mother deep down just finding the right stallion had been the hardest thing really. So adopting made much more sense. “I guess it was a bit sudden, can you help me pick out clothes for my little filly.”
“Oh of course darling, I have a whole fashion line for foal clothes. Was a wonderful Mother’s Day project.” she paused for a second and leaned closer looking the sleeping foal over. “You know Cheerilee, your new foal sort of looks like Big Mac.”
“Does she? I hadn’t noticed.”
Cheerilee looked down at her foal. “I guess she does sort of.”
She gently pet Blossom head with a smile. Cheerilee wheeled the stroller further inside watching Rarity pulled out a rack with various filly outfits. “Aww, so many to pick from. Do you have something I can wear, something motherly?”
“Motherly? Hmm, well I do have a few that have aprons.”
Cheerilee nodded. ‘Oh perfect, fillies can be so messy you know. My mother told me how much harder foals are when they're young.”
“Alright darling, let’s see what we got then.” Rarity lead Cheerilee to the dressing room still eyeing the filly. I swear that foal looks like Big Mac.
-------
Blossom yawned as she opened her eyes blushing as Cheerilee was wiping her bottom upon the new changing table. She babbles some as her mom cooed. “Aww, you sure made a stinky, yes you did.” She mothered, and started cleaning up her foal’s rump with foal wipes. After Cheerilee’s wiped and powdered Blossom then she started taping a fresh diaper under the foal’s rump.
Blossom blinked but smiled up at her mommy noticing the yellow dress with white trim and an adorable pink apron tied around the waist. Her mommy’s mane was now tied up in a bun with a matching yellow ribbon. The thought of Fluttershy came to mind for a second as she kicked about some. Cheerilee scooped her up nuzzling nose to nose causing the foal to let out giggles.
“Oh, I bet my little one is hungry,” Cheerilee cooed carrying her foal through the house and into the kitchen were a nice purple high chair sat awaiting the foal. Blossom was set into it foam seat, a bib put around her neck. She beamed up at her mommy trusting her fully. ‘Mmm mmm”
Cheerilee giggled. “that’s it say mama,” she moved her lips to teach her filly. “Ma-ma,” She watched Blossom babbling few times before slowing down.
“Mmm ah mama?” Blossom cheered, feeling giddy as she got it right seeing her mother smile.
“Good filly,” she patted Blossom head before opening the jar of banana flavored mush with a loud audible pop. She flies it to the filly’s open mouth making choo-choo sounds which only made the foal grin wider and chomp down on the yummy mush. Meal time went as the foal’s face was covered in of mush on the cheek and bib and plenty of drool. The mother just smiled ear to ear as she cleaned up her filly moving back to the nursery. Once there she set Blossom on the floor and look the dresser for the pjs.
Blossom lay on her belly suckling her pacifier she has been given. It felt nice to just lay there staring at nothing in particular. Was something amiss, she couldn't quite tell but it felt like something was off. The filly kept suckling trying to think of what that something was but a soon picks her up as Cheerilee smiled at her sliding the purple sleeper into her filly. The hatch was buttoned up with the diaper bulging out the back quite cutely.
Blossom let out a coo as she feel the soft fabric soon reaching out and booping her mommy’s nose. Cheerilee took her little one and sat on the rocking chair slowly swaying side to side. She feel the foal press into her chest noticing she was listening to the heart beat. The motherly mare kept up the cradling softly humming a tune as Blossom felt happier than ever. The foal in her lap soon feel asleep suclking her pacifer and her tail twitching time to time.
Blossom woke up with a yawn stretching out her hooves. As she smacks her lips she felt something was amiss but wasn’t sure what it was. The filly noticed her pacifier was near the side of her tiny body. Blossom popped it back in suckling away looking up at a mobile spinning overhead thinking I feel weird...but nothing is wrong. I'm a filly named Blossom and I have a mommy who loves me a lot.
After a few more suckles kicking about in her pink sleeper the smell of her icky padding made her lose focus and her lips quivered and she began to cry.
Cheerilee was quick as a whip came into the room and up to the little filly still wearing her lovely yellow dress with its pink apron and her mane still tied in a bun. The mare came up to the crib. “Oh somepony made a stinky, yes you did.”
The mare scooped Blossom cradling the filly in her hooves cooed, “there-there it's alright mommy is here.” when Blossom’s whining faded into a adorable coo, Cheerilee moved toward the change table. She laid the little one down carefully and began to open up the tabs and began to wipe down her foal clean. Blossom kicked about whining throughout the change. But Cheerilee was patient and finished cleaning the filly’s rump. “Phew, I think my foal needs a nice bath. I bet you love bubbles.”
“Bubbles!” Blossom clapped looking around some more as her bare bottom is taken along to the bathroom. Cheerilee managed to hold her filly while also turning the water making sure it was just the right temperature.
Blossom, of course, was quick to splash about while the bubbles formed in the shallow water. Her mommy beamed at the sight leaning in to quickly nuzzle her only to get some water splashed on her face. Cheerilee laughed before grabbing a bottle of baby shampoo and started lathering her filly’s coat in soap. Blossom cooed loving the baby shampoo over her fur making it even softer. Her long mane was also lathered in the same soap. She squealed as Cheerilee poured water over Blossom’s body until all the suds were gone from her body.
After thirty minutes of splashing about Cheerilee took Blossom out of the tub. She wrapped the filly up in a towel and dried up the little filly ruffling up her mane making Blossom giggle and squeal. She then took Blossom upstairs and plopped her on the bed. Cheerilee preceded in powdering Blossom’s rump then strapping her in a thick diaper patting it well. She moves to the dresser and brought out a pink frilly dress and a bow and started dressing Blossom for their day. The dress did nothing to cover her diaper being frilly and with white lining not that the foal minded. Cheerilee next took a brush and began to groom the mare’s mane and tail while Blossom snuggled into her mama’s chest. The foal felt a light tug on her mane as a bow was tied in place She cooed and let out another laugh as she got a big kiss on the cheek. “There now you're ready, cutie.”
Blossom blushed looking at herself in the mirror... Even if ponies thought she looked like Big Mac with her poofy diaper and embarrassing pink dress Blossom looked like a little filly no older than one.
Cheerilee placed Blossom on her back and bounced downstairs to the living room where a fold up stroller and diaper bag waited. Blossom was buckled into her stroller and a bottle of formula plopped into her mouth. Cheerilee cooed “I knew you would probably be hungry. So drink up little one.”
But Blossom’s eyes widen as she sucked her bottle with a smile growing on her face. This is great! I love my baba! Cheerilee strapped a diaper bag around her then pushed the stroller out the door.
The smell of freshly baked muffins wafted through the bakery as Cheerilee entered Sugarcube Corner. The foal quickly picked up on the delightful smells and looked around curiously.
Pinkie was quick to notice them jumping over this counter and bounced over.
“Hi, Cheerilee, who this little filly?” She leaned down and boop the filly nose.
“This is Blossom, my new adopted daughter. “
Pinkie picked Blossom out of the stroller nuzzling nose to nose seeing the small filly smile back. ” Aww, she so cute, yes you are. “ Pinkie cooed, holding Blossom out by her forelegs.
The foal in return, babbled back at her some drool running down her chin.
“You know Cheerilee, she looks a lot like Big Mac. “
Cheerilee tilted her head. “That is what Rarity said too. How strange. “
She rubbed her head confused soon watching another odd sight occur as Pinkie began to babble back at her foal. Blossom smile babbling back and giggling. The pink pony seemed to retort with the babble equivalent of, “I know right.”
The motherly mare just stood there watching in the moment later until the oddity wore off.” What were you talking about?”
Pinkie blinked and shrugged setting Blossom on her back. “ I have no idea. “ she beamed.
Cheerilee face hoofed making the mistake of trying to understand the being that was Pinkie Pie.
“Wow, three times today it's not even lunch. “ pinkie giggled. “Hey the twins are awake, should we let them play together?”
Cheerilee nodded. ‘Oh, that’s a great idea. That’s mostly why I came over.”
“Sure, you just sit down and have something to drink while I get Blossom settled.” Pinkie happily took Blossom up the stairs soon ending the Cakes nursery. The twins at the moment were busy clacking blocks together smiling wide in their innocent playtime. The two cooed from the playpen string at the filly on Pinkie’s back. The party pony happily set the foal down on the floor watching her waddle over to the Cakes. Pound stopped playing with his blocks and glanced at Blossom babbling.
“Hi hi,” he cooed.
Pumpkin leaned over and touch the mane on Blossom. “Pretty.”
Blossom giggled shaking her head around. “Hehe, you pretty too,” she pokes the purple onesie Pumpkin was wearing.
Pinkie beamed “Oh they're getting along,” she cooed to herself. ‘Wish I spoke babble.” The three foals all turn and look up at her clapping happily. “Oh you want me to play too well okay. I got a fun idea.”
Blossom dormant adult mind only made her imagination stronger as she started imaging the pen walls as fence like a prison. Pinkie dimmed the light just enough so that flashlight would shine the ground like a spot light. “Run from the light,” Pinkie cheered the foal quickly giggling and avoiding it as the party pony moved it around.
The foals rush around tripping and such as they avoid the light. “Don’t let them spot you,” Blossom laughed doing a roll as she got back up. The other two were probably just thinking it nice game of keep away. Pinkie kept it up for a while herding the three around with the light until putting it down and letting them rest a little. “Hehe, no one escapes from PInkie’s play penitentiary,’ she snickered watching the foal roll around for fun.
Blossom wasn’t sure what a prison was but something in her head knew it was just a game too. She got up and look at the twins. “We should break out,” she suggested wiggling her diaper bottom.
“Where we go?” Pound ask squeezing the life out of one of the teddy bears.
“Mama land?” Pumpkin suggested
“What that?” Blossom tilted her head.
“It where mama sleep.”
The filly giggled nodding. “Okay but we need a distraction,” Blossom saw the large blocks and had an idea on how to get over the pen wall. Just before Pumpkin could ask how, Pound was picked up by Pinkie. The caretaker sniffed the colt diaper bottom “Phew, some colt needs a changy,” she cooed taking him toward the table.
Blossom gestured Pumpkin to follow as she grabbed the large blocks and began to stack them into a staircase of sorts Pound wiggled about on the changeing table only slowing down his diaper change giving them time to build their escape route. Blossom carefully ascended the stack of blocks and crawled over the playpen walls landing on the other side in a poof of her pampers and the foal powder that bellowed around her. She giggled watching Pumpkin follow suit. Once out the two quickly waddle as fast as they can the door double checking that PInkie was still occupied with the diaper change. Pumpkin lead the way down the hall. Being foals their hooves were too light or make any creeks in the wood. Soon they reach the towering door of the parents bedroom the door partly cracked open but not enough to squeeze through.
“Mama land just passed the door but how we gonna move it.”
Blossom had an idea and waddle the door. She wasn't sure what she was doing as she turned and raise her hind legs bucking the door with all her pudgy hooves could manage. The result was her falling into her tummy as the door pushed open for them.
“Oooh what was dat?”
“Apple buckin,” Blossom replied.
Pumpkin just tilted her head confused.
“Uh...I don’t know,” Blossom rub her neck scrunching up her face. What was that trick anyway? Why did she know it? Mommy never did it. She shook her head the two quickly wiggling through the gap and into the plush carpeted room. The two oooh and aww as they waddle further inside tripping some due the carpet throwing them off balance. Pumpkin pointed upwards at the series of glowing lights around a large vanity mirror. The dressing being where all of Mrs cake’s makeup was kept. The Pink hair dryer hung over the edge a bit as Blossom moves to the dangling cord her foalish nature caused her to tug on it with curiosity. The hair dryer clattered to the floor with a loud thump as if was a boulder. The foals jump as it began blowing hot air at them. They giggle as their manes blew around. After a moment Blossom found the little lever a toggled it off letting out another giggle. ‘Hehe, this fun.”
Pumpkin eyes looked up at the table again and pointed “Uppy” she blinked in confusion as her horn glow and by some miracle float the two up slowly until they were at the table. The magic cut off cause the to land on their diapered bottoms again. Pumpkin sat there in a dizzy state eyes going derpy as she babbled nonsense for few seconds
“Are you okay?” Blossom asked when Pumpkin recovered.
“Uh huh, don't know how we get down though.” Pumpkin saw a photo of her mommy hanging on the side of the mirror and pointed “hehe wets be pretty.” Blossom cheered in agreement manage to pop opened one the silly containers.
---------
Mrs.Cake burst through the door soon later gasping at what she saw. Blossom and Pumpkin Cake both looked up covered in random bits of makeup and their manes frazzled. She held her hooves on her hips and scolded, “what are you two doing in mama’s room?”
The foals blushed and scrunched their diapers whimpering. Mrs.Cake took the foals and plopped them on her back,”alright naughty fillies let’s get you cleaned up.” She took them along to the bathroom and quickly stripped them two of their diapers and Blossom dress and preceded in filling the tub. Once it was full enough of the bubble bath the big mare settled the fillies into the water making them giggled and splash about. Cheerilee came into the bathroom with a smile, “aww, did they make a mess?”
Mrs.Caker laughed,”no worries they were just being foals.” Cheerilee laughed, “aww, well I'll help clean up Blossom, she’s the little mess maker isn’t she?”
Pinkie pokes her head in suddenly and blushed. “Sorry Cheerilee, Pound was really distracting. I think they planned it.”
Mrs Cake chuckled. “Oh Pinkie they are just foals they can’t plan things.”
“But they and...the wiggling and the flying...gah,” PInkie left them be making sure Pound was behaving.
The pink mare sat by her adopted daughter and preceded to wash her mane and tail. Mrs.Cake now busy scrubbing her daughter cooed,”so Cheerilee how was the pregnancy?”
Cheerilee’s face became sheepish as she squeaked, “Oh I wasn’t pregnant, Blossom is adopted.”
Mrs.Cake blushed, “sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude.”
Cheerilee laughed again and cooed, “it’s alright, I know adoption is rare, in fact, it happened so fast I forgot to buy supplies before I adopted Blossom.”
Mrs.Cake dawwed, “well I'm happy for you it’s about time you had a foal. You always did talk about adoption during bowling night.”
Cheerilee looked back down at her filly and nuzzled her mane, “yes I'm so happy now, I've been thinking of nothing but what we're going to do together.”
Mrs.Cake smiled and asked,”Cheerilee, if you don’t mind we could foalsit while you're teaching the class?” She wipes some water out of her eyes as Pound splashed her a little.
Cheerilee thought for a second and shook her head, “no i’ll bring Blossom to class for now at least. I think I can even assign my students as junior foalsitter. Teach them some classes on how to care for foals. Real life lessons you know? Who knows, maybe one of them will get a cutie mark for it.”
Mrs.Cake smiled, “wow sounds wonderful! Heck Pinkie Pie should attend some classes.”
“Hey i’m a great sitter,” PInkieshouted back as the door holding Pound as he tries to fly around more.
Cheerilee chuckled ‘Oh I know you are Pinkie, but I think I can handle little Blossom. All I need to do is set up small playpen by my desk” she kept washing her foal, the little ball of energy kicking and splashing about. “I know what i’ll do next, I bet she love a walk around town.”
---Meanwhile---
Apple Bloom was busy with her chores helping to feed the pigs thinking to herself, Big Mac has been gone all day, I hope he’s alright.
Applejack was now looking, Sweet Apple, Acres shouting “Big Macintosh where in the hay are you!”
Apple Bloom squeaked as she turned to see Applejack coming towards her looking madder than a bull in a rodeo, “uh oh if she knew we gave Big Mac a potion she’ll ground me for sure.” the filly thought for a second, “oh I better think of a lie..I don’t like lyin’ but if this is true love then Applejack will probably snap Big mac out of it.”
Apple Bloom turned just as her big sister came up glancing around once more, “Hey Apple Bloom, do you know where Big Mac went of to?”
Apple Bloom gasped,”oh Big Mac? I heard he uh...went off to Appleloosa yeah he went to Appleloosa to uh…” she looked around seeing a basket of apples and blurted, “to deliver some apples!”
“But they got plenty of apples down there. Why he go off like that?” Applejack tilts her head.
Apple Bloom rolled her eyes, “well they wanted our special granny apples they don’t grow those down in Appleloosa.”
Applejack tapped a hoof to her chin, “that's strange ya think he would’ve told us if he was deliverin’ apples.”
Apple Bloom squeaked,”well he was in a hurry, so he told me to tell you see...now you know.”
Applejack eyed her littler sister and sighed “alright, well when he gets back i’m gonna give him a talkin’ too. He should’ve told me himself.” Applejack stomped off towards the apple orchard as her little sister sighed in relief, “woah that bought some time, hopefully Big Mac will be back soon. Maybe i ought to go lookin for him?”
“Uh Applejack,” she called out moving along some ‘uh i’ll go pick up those nails we needed.” Apple Bloom gave an honest smile.
“Alright since Big Mac isn’t here someone got to do it, and i’m busy,” Applejack bucked another tree, the apples falling into the baskets below.
“Right i’ll be back,” Apple Bloom rushed off hoping she’d run into him while searching. “Oh I‘m in such hot water.”
It was around two by the time Cheerilee exited Supercube Corner with her little bundle of joy buckled into her stroller. She whistled a little as she moved down the street watching as Dash and other weather ponies moved clouds around for the evening shower. Blossom was occupied with staring up at the clouds imaging various shapes in them. Cheerilee stopped by the flower cart smelling the roses. “These smell wonderful, Rose.”
“Thanks.” She noticed the stroller. “Oh, she’s so cute.” She watched Blossom playing with her own mane innocently.
Cheerilee nodded. “Oh yes, she just my darling little foal.” The rest of the little chat was nothing too special as the motherly mare pushed along the street taking a left into a perfume store vanishing from sight as a yellow filly rushed by down the street looking for something.
---------
Apple Bloom rushed down the street glancing around frantically hoping to find Big Mac or even Cheerilee. The chances of just running into either out of the blue were pretty slim but she had to try something. She was in such a frenzy that she didn’t have time to stop as she ran right into Zecora the herbalist having just existed one the many stores. Apple Bloom got up noticing the scattered containers. Thankfully nothing broken. “Sorry Zecora, I was just in a hurry.”
Zecora grabbed each of her jars. “It’s quite alright, Apple Bloom. You haven’t seen any heart's desire have you?” she asked giving the filly an inquisitive look.
“No, I don’t think so.” Apple Bloom gave a straight face trying not to show anything. “Making more potions I assume?” She looked around some more for her big sister.
“That is correct, I assume you’d like to join me I suspect.”
“Oh love too, but kind of busy with chores. See you later.” Apple Bloom zipped along watching the clouds being put in place. “Well so much for looking. At least I won't’ have to water the crops.” She ran along to search some more.

Fluttershy was walking down the road enjoying the delightful afternoon humming to herself. She turned the corner she spotted Cheerilee pushing a stroller with a little filly strapped inside down the road. She eyed the mare and whispered, “I don’t remember Cheerilee having a foal?”
Fluttershy went up to the pink mare and cooed,”h..hello Cheerilee.”
The pink mare turned to the yellow pegasus and cooed,”hello Fluttershy come to see my new foal?”
Fluttershy blushed and whispered, “is that okay?”
Cheerilee nodded, “of course.” Fluttershy came over and peeked into the foal carriage and dawwed at the little red filly babbling and kicking her legs about. She picked the foal up and snuggled her. “Hello, my name is Fluttershy.”
Blossom made some bubbled trying to say the mare’s name. Fluttershy giggled,”aww she’s so cute, yes you are.” Then she put the foal back into the stroller and cooed, “hey it looks like it’s going to rain soon, how about you two come to my place? I’m sure Angel would love the company.”
Cheerilee squealed,”that’s a wonderful idea! I'm sure Blossom would love to play with your bunnies.”
They both walked down the road together and Fluttershy asked,”so..um...Cheerilee were you um…”
Cheerilee smiled,”pregnant? No Blossom is adopted.”
Fluttershy gasped,”really? Wow so how long has it been since the adoption?”
The pink mare laughed “I only had Blossom for a day now, but I've fallen head over hooves for the little filly. I'm even going to take her to school with me.”
Fluttershy couldn’t help but daww, “so cute, I’ve been thinking of adopting myself, I always wanted to have a foal...but I've been too nervous to even attempt to find a special somepony or adopt.”
Cheerilee cooed,”hey Fluttershy I think you’ll be an excellent mother.”
The yellow pegasus blushed and whispered, “thanks.”
They eventually make it to Fluttershy’s cottage and they both settled inside as Cheerilee picked up Blossom and check her daughter’s diaper. “Oh dear soaked again, Fluttershy will it be alright if I change her here?”
Fluttershy laughed, “of course, change her wherever you like, I'll go look for Angel.”
Cheerilee settled Blossom onto the ground and preceded in changing her diaper. Blossom kicked about throughout the change gurgling as Cheerilee cooed,”that’s my little filly, yes you are.”
Blossom squealed putting a hoof in her mouth as Cheerilee finished taping Blossom into her new diaper.
The foal giggled kicking about making sure to poof foal powder from the leg holes. Cheerilee bent down giving the filly a few raspberries making Blossom squealed with laughter.
Fluttershy dawwed at the scene waking up to the two with Angel kicking about in her hooves. Fluttershy scolded the bunny, “Angel behave, Blossom is just a little filly.”
He groaned and crossed his little paws and gave a pout. Blossom gasped at the bunny and made grabby hooves and started whining. Cheerilee laughed. “Oh, she wants to play with Angel.”
Fluttershy gently placed Angel into the little filly’s hooves and the tiny foal snuggled her new fluffy friend. Angel started kicking about more and tried to hop out of Blossom’s grasp. But she held him close and brushed his soft fur cooing at the texture. Angel blushed at the filly petting his fur and stopped struggling and just snuggled into the filly.
Fluttershy smiled at the scene and cooed, “good, seems Angel is warming up to Blossom.”
Cheerilee sat beside the two and watch the two cuddled and cooed,”Blossom that is called a bunny.”
Blossom peered up at her mom and babbled nonsense and Cheerilee laughed, “oh, it’s going to be awhile before you can talk.”
Fluttershy giggled, as she sat by Blossom who turned her attention to the yellow pegasus as she cooed,”that’s right it’s a bunny and his name is Angel.An-ge-el. Can you say that Angel?”
Blossom tried but babbled garble, the mares both just laughed again and started to babble nonsense with her. Blossom stretched her tiny limbs yawning as she smacked her lips.
Cheerilee cooed,”oh dear, I guess she needs another nap poor thing.”
The pink mare scooped up her filly and made sure to give Blossom’s diaper a few loving pats. Fluttershy walked with the two upstairs and watched Cheerilee laid the baby in her bed. The mare tucked the filly in and made sure to plop a pacifier in her mouth cooing “Fluttershy i'm going to stay up here for a bit until she falls asleep. Don’t want her rolling out of bed after all.”
The yellow pegasus gave a smile and a nod. “Of course, take your time.” Fluttershy quickly went back downstairs shivering all over from the experience,”oh Blossom was just so adorable, she makes me want to go and adopt a foal right now!”
A rapid knocking at the door suddenly made Fluttershy jump. Once she settled she turned and approached, “oh dear who could that be?”
She opened the door seeing Apple Bloom, the filly panting. “Fluttershy, have you seen Big Mac at all?”
Fluttershy blushed and shook her head. “Sorry, I haven’t seen Big Mac all day.”
Cheerilee then came downstairs and asked, “hey is that Apple Bloom?”
Apple Bloom squeaked, “Cheerilee oh thank Celestia how’s Big Mac doin’?”
The mare tapped a hoof on her chin. “ Big Mac...Big Mac…” I remember inviting him to dinner yesterday, but then everything went blank. That was also at the same time I adopted Blossom.
Cheerilee shook her head and sighed,”sorry, I haven't seen him all day, the last time I saw him was yesterday after I invited him to dinner. He must have left after that.”
“But he didn’t come home. Are ya sure you don’t know where he went off too?” Apple Bloom worried shifting more. This whole weekend was backfiring on her.
“I’m sorry Apple Bloom, i just can’t remember,” Cheerilee replied. Hope he is okay I'm sure he loved to see Blossom. Oh, they are the same colour now that I think about it. Maybe their long-lost cousins. she smiled, “well I wouldn’t worry too much, Big Mac is always busy i'm sure he’s just fine.”
Apple Bloom shrugged, “I don’t know...it’s just well..” wasn’t the love potion supposed to work? Maybe the effects wore off.
As the filly was busy in her thoughts, a loud boom of thunder was heard. Fluttershy flinched for a second. ”Oh, it’s going to rain soon want to stay with me until the storm’s over?”
Apple Bloom shakes her head, “no I better get going I don’t want Applejack worryin’ about me. See ya two later!”
The farm filly ran off just as they heard wailing from upstairs. Cheerilee cooed, “oh dear seems the storm woke her up.” She climbed up the stair to the bedroom, soon pulling the crying filly against her chest. “Shhh, shh it’s okay Blossom, mommy, here.”
Blossom calmed down and curled up in Cheerilee’s embrace, Fluttershy cooed, “how about I warm us up some hot coco and some formula for Blossom?” The sight just made the pegasus more jealous yet found it heartwarming before she went off to the kitchen. That settles it, I'm going to adopt once I have enough to buy a nursery. Or at least plan for one.
Cheerilee cooed at her foal humming a sweet lullaby as the storm goes on. With the windows shut the sound was muffled enough. The downpour was oddly soothing as Blossom suckle her pacifier drifting off soon pressing into her mommy’s warm tummy. “I love being a mommy.”
A wind blew softly as Apple Bloom ran along towards the school house. She as right on time of course but was feeling a little nervous due to her brother still being absent. As she went inside she soon met up with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle who were eagerly waiting for her. Sweetie Belle was the first to come over and asked, “so are Big Mac and Cheerilee dating now?”
Scootaloo chirped, “yeah did Big Mac and Cheerilee kiss yet?” She buzzed her wings a little.
Apple Bloom gulped as she thought, Big Mac still hasn’t shown up since Friday.” She blushed and whimpered, “Bi..Big Mac hasn’t come back yet.”
Sweetie Belle cooed,”oh that’s great! That means they're really in love! I bet they're going to get married soon and have cute foals!”
Apple Bloom squeaked,”that’s not what I meant I saw Cheerilee the other day and she doesn’t even know where my brother went off to.”
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle’s mouths dropped and Scootaloo shouted “wait what!? You mean he just disappeared!?”
Apple Bloom explained, “I’m sayin’ that we don’t know where he is and I told ma family he went to Appleloosa. He could be anywhere.”
“Well we can always go looking after school and help you search more,” Scootaloo commented staring at the clock. ‘I mean what the worst that could happen?”
“Don't jinx it!” Apple Bloom said panicked, pacing in place.
Just as the fillies were talking Cheerilee wheels a stroller up the schoolhouse wearing a yellow dress, with a diaper bag draped around her back. Blossom bounced in the stroller adorned in a cute pink onesie.
The cutie mark crusaders mouths dropped as Cheerilee parked the stroller and cooed at the class. “Good morning class, sorry for being a little late, today you may have noticed our new guest.”
She picked Blossom up and beamed holding her up for the class to see., “This is my new daughter Blossom. I adopted her only a few days ago.” The foal gurgled as she blew bubbles making the rest of the class daww. Scootaloo leaned into Apple Bloom’s ear and whispered, “You don’t think that could be Big Mac right?”
“Well the filly does have Mac’s colours.” Apple Bloom considered.
“I don’t remember Cheerilee ever mentioning adoption, do you?” Sweetie said, leaning in from the other side. She looked back at the foal as it glance around the room evening waving cutely.
Cheerilee preceded in fixing up a pink playpen by her desk setting Blossom inside as she gave her foam blocks and plushies to play with. The motherly mare then placed her diaper bag down and continued, “Now even though Blossom will be here i’m still going to teach. As such, I need somepony to help change Blossom’s diapers and give her bottles. This student will get extra credit of course any volunteers?”
Nopony raised a hoof as Diamond Tiara scoffed,”as if who would want to change dirty diapers?”
Cheerilee got stern and replied, “well Tiara since you got quite the lip, I think you just volunteered.”
“What?! No,” the rich tilly blushed and stammered. She glares at Silver Spoon as her friend snicker. “Stop laughing it’s not funny.” The whole class burst into laughter (the cutie mark crusaders were still frozen) then Cheerilee cooed, “calm down everypony you're all eventually going to get a turn in caring for Blossom.”
The cutie mark crusaders just stared at the foal as Blossom banged two foam blocks together giggling innocently. Apple Bloom rubbed the back of her head. “I-it can’t be, but that’s impossible right?” The change in Cheerilee’s behavior and new foal were leading to the inhibitable conclusion. That filly was her brother. Oh, i’ve really messed up this time.
Cheerilee continued her lecture, “now as we're on the topic of foals I think we should all learn about baby ponies and how to care for them.” She then went to each student and hoofed out a doll pony with a small diaper. She then went back to the front of the class, “so I think we should start with something simple how to put a diaper on a foal.”
The whole class groaned and Scootaloo turned to Apple Bloom, “well, we better figure out how to change them back soon or we're going to be changing diapers for the rest of our time in school.”
Blossom started grunting and pushed messing her diaper making the entire class gag. Cheerilee just dawwed, “aww, Blossom had a little poopy, Tiara go change Blossom’s diaper please.”
Diamond Tiara shouted, “No way! You can’t make me!”
Cheerilee didn’t hesitate and walked up to Diamond’s desk grabbing Tiara ear like she a misbehaved foal. “That was very naughty Tiara, Blossom is only a foal and cant control herself. If you don’t do as I say you're going to not only get an “F” on behavior, I’ll make you sit in the corner in diapers”
Cheerilee smiled,”good.” She let go of the filly’s ear and lead her up the front. She even made a spot on the desk laying the mat on it. “Now class pay attention, demonstrations are very educational.
Tiara grumbled going over to Blossom and laid her on the changing mat. She makes disgusted faces as Cheerilee instructed her on each step. The crusaders were at least amused at Tiara discomfort at doing such a task.
“Well at least she won’t call us baby blank flanks anymore,” Scootaloo whispered.
Cheerilee seeing praised Diamond since Blossom was in her clean diaper and the dirty one was thrown away. She let Tiara wash her hooves in hoof sanitizer. The teacher cooed,”well done, see it wasn’t too bad you're going to be a good mother Tiara.”
Tiara blushed and quickly went back to her seat and sat down trying to avoid everypony's gaze. She mumbled. “No wonder Randulf did all that stuff when I was young.”
Apple Bloom turned around to look at her. “It not that bad of a smell. Pig pen smells way worse.” the recoil on Diamond’s face was satisfactory enough.
Cheerilee smiled, seeing that many of the classmates had gotten the diapers on the small dolls. “See not so hard at least your dolls don’t wiggle and squirm. Now let's move onto mathematics.
The crusaders met up as lunch rolled around. The class all rushing out to play. They watched through the window as Cheerilee asked, “Tiara before you go can you help give Blossom a bottle?”
Not wanting in any more trouble, she came to the desk. “O-okay I guess.” She’s glad it was not another diaper change at least. The filly was finding Blossom awful charming, well in the drooling all over yourself kind of way.
Cheerilee lowered Blossom into Tiara left foreleg adjusting it properly. “This is how you hold a foal,” she then got the bottle letting Diamond take it in her free hoof. Blossom wiggled about reaching out wh graby hooves at her meal. The teacher watched as the nipple gently set into her foal’s mouth. “Yes that it, just like that. Great job Diamond Tiara.”
Sweetie Belle pulled away from the window glancing towards Apple Bloom.”So, what’s the plan?”
“I don’t know, I was planning to just go in there and tell her,” Apple Bloom looked back at the feeding taking place. “She looks awful happy though.”
“I’m not sure she believed you with how cooky she is. I don’t get why grownups daww over foals all the time? Especially moms.”
“Have ya ever see your foal photos?” Apple Bloom asked. “No matter what foals are just made to be cute.”
“Rarity used to use me like a doll” Sweetie giggled before getting back on track. “If that is Big Mac, then why did he turn into a filly?”
“How should I know?” Apple Bloom sank her face into her hooves. “Ugh, I shouldn’t have messed with potions.”
“Yeah this is kind of your fault.” Scootaloo blurted.
“Not helping,” Apple Bloom groaned. “Applejack going to be mad, not to mention Zecora.”
Sweetie Belle replied, “we have no choice we have to try to explain to Cheerilee what happened tonight and try to convince her to let us change Big Mac back. We need Zecora to know she’s probably the only one that can turn Big Mac back to normal.”
“I hear Twilight is pretty smart,” Apple Bloom added, “At least we still have the book.” Her thoughts were interrupted as they hear Diamond sheek and Blossom crying. They peered back through the window seeing white spittle down Diamond right shoulder.
“Ewww, get it off.” She grabbed the paper towel trying to reach the spit leaving Blossom sitting the teacher’s desk
Cheerilee scolded, “Tiara! Blossom is just a foal calm her down first then clean yourself up!”
Diamond shivered putting the towel down and quickly rocking Blossom in her hooves. “There there, I didn’t mean to yell.” Her ears flatten to the sides of her head. Am I actually enjoying this!? Blossom crying soon died down to a sniffle and then a small smile before letting out a yawn.
Scootaloo snickered outside “Well at least we get to watch Tiara squirm a little.
“I guess,” Apple Bloom said hesitantly, watching as Cheerilee sang a soft lullaby to her foal smiling the whole time. The motherly mare lowered Blossom into a basket, and plopped a pacifier in her mouth. Even kissing the foal’s forehead. She put up a ‘baby is sleeping,’ sign on the door too. The filly could see how happy Cheerilee was the entire time and groaned. Oh, this isn’t fair now i’m conflicted. Why can’t anythin be simple?
The school day, for the most part, had gone along normally minus the occasional interruption from Blossom. Diamond had made less of a fuss each time she had to change a diaper reduced to groans by the end of it. As the class emptied out the schoolhouse, the cutie mark crusaders came up the front watching Cheerilee packing up papers and homework she had to grade. Blossom was playing with Diamond who was jingling some keys for her.
Cheerilee looked up as she put the last paper into her saddlebag smiling warmly at the fillies. “Oh Apple Bloom, is there something you need? Shouldn’t you be heading home?”
Apple Bloom thought carefully then spoke. “Yeah but we just wanted to play with Blossom some.” She approached the playpen and watched as Blossom cooed and was in the process of making another block tower like she’d done many times before. Blossom paused and started back up at Apple Bloom tilting her head. “Hey B-big mac,” she said, but the filly wasn’t reacting to the name.
Sweetie Belle took a rattle and floated it near Blossom giving the toy a light shake. The foal squeaked as she snatched it and resumed shaking it herself accidentally bonking Sweetie on the nose when she leaned too close. “Ophf”
Cheerilee awed and soon had her bag packed and started picking up the toys. “Oh she must like you,” she said, getting Blossom settled into her stroller.
Sweetie Belle blushed, “I guess so...but uh Cheerilee...there’s um something we need to tell you.”
Cheerilee got the straps snug on Blossom as she explained. “Alright how about you tell me at my house would you mind coming over for a little bit? I need some help with Blossom while I fix myself and her dinner ill ever feed you two for the help.”
The fillies all shrugged as Applebloom sighed “Sure why not, I don’t think my sis will mind me being a bit late.”
As the group left the schoolhouse, Tiara came over and hugged Blossom. “Bye Blossom I'll see you tomorrow.”
Cheerilee dawwed, “oh you two are bonding how wonderful.”
Tiara just gave a deep blush before running off and the cutie mark crusaders just burst into fits of laughter.
The Crusaders stayed quiet thinking over what to say for the few minutes it took to get to Cheerilee’s house. Upon entering they noticed Cheerilee's house was a mess with stray diapers lying about and the kitchen filled with empty jars of foal food and empty foal bottles scattered over her counter. The new mother placed Blossom in her playpen with blocks and plushies. She then cooed “okay you four play nicely and i'll make some num nums okay?”
The fillies nodded waiting until Cheerilee walked off to the kitchen before whispering to each other. Apple Bloom turned and asked, “so how should we break it to Cheerilee that Blossom is my Big Bro?” She looked over at Blossom who had taken a block and was drooling all over it.
Sweetie Belle gulped looking at Apple Bloom “I think you should go to Zecora’s now. We’ll keep Cheerilee occupied.”
Apple Bloom rubbed her neck and shuffled her hooves “Well I guess I do know the way better. But why not tell her together?”
“Cause she is acting kind of weird,” Scootaloo commented. “What if she runs off or something?”
Sweetie Belle nodded. “Yeah we need to keep her calm so she doesn't freak out. That potion really has her in mother bear mode.”
Apple.Bloom got up and sighed, “alright good luck, tell Cheerilee I forgot to do chores or something.” With that, she turned and left soon speeding into a gallop towards the Everfree forest. ‘I really hope Zecora not out gatherin.”
The other fillies turned to Blossom watching as the foal grunted and messed herself without a care. Sweetie Belle squeaked. “uh...I don't know how to change a diaper.”
Scootaloo got up and peeked her head in the kitchen. “Cheerilee, Blossom needs a diaper change.” Her nose scrunched up a bit.
“Don’t worry it can wait till I’m done making dinner, just keep an eye on her,” She responded, cutting up carrots int tiny chunks with perssion and wearing her apron.
Scootaloo groaned but mumbled, “alright, we will.” She stumbled back over to the foal bouncing in her messy diaper gurgling. Sweetie Belle held her close “hey don't do that!”
Scootaloo came over and shook keys “hey Blossom look at the pretty keys.” then started shaking them over her and watched as Blossom tried grabbing them babbling as Sweetie Belle grumbled as she scrunched her nose from the stench “Apple Bloom is going to owe us big time when she gets back.”
Scootaloo nodded “oh yeah she's going to do our homework or something!” Her nose twitched the smell. “phew.”
---------
Apple Bloom panted as her long trek to the Everfree finished. She caught her breath staring at the canopy. She gulped a little and heading inside. She felt both guilt and conflicted over changing Cheerilee and Big Mac back but it was for the better good. It being all her fault didn’t help matters. After another five minutes of careful weaving her way through the forest, she finally came to Zecora’s hut. She hurried up the door and knocked. “Zecora, I gotta talk to ya.” she called out, worried when there wasn’t an immediate response. She waited a minute at the door pacing back and forth thinking of going out there to find her when said Zecora came out of the foliage and smiled at the filly. She hurried up to Zecora speaking fanatically. “It’s all my fault,” she blurted ears flat on her head.
Zecora tilted her head puzzled and concerned all at the same time. “Apple Bloom what’s the worry? Why are you in such a hurry?”
“I-I was just trying to make Cheerilee and Big mac fall in love so I and my friends brewed this potion from this heart na hooves day book but I added some Hearts Desire and,” she gulped seeing Zecora stern expression. “I know I shouldn't have gone messin with potions again but I didn’t know it would turn my brother into a filly and a foal. Ya gotta help me. Cheerilee thinks she's her daughter.”
Zecora blinked stunned as she growled,“ ok Apple Bloom I'll make a cure but you'll be in trouble for sure!” The alchemist moved into her hut flipping open a similar book to the one that had contained the love potion recipe. “The potion was not meant for love pure, but a warning that is for sure.”
Apple Bloom looked at the fine print and groaned. “How we miss that part. You can fix this right?”
Zecora eyed her shaking her head in disappointment. “Maybe if you came to me we could have avoided this catastrophe.” She began grunting some flowers into a bowl. “Potion making is no easy task, you should know the first hoof how it can pass.”
Apple Bloom sighed “I know I’m sorry, I swear I'm never ever going to make a potion without your help ever again.”
Zecora nodded accepting the apology as she got to work. “that is good you learned your lesson. Now listen well, can you help me make this potion so we can break this spell?”
Apple Bloom saluted as she exclaimed, “i'll do my best Zecora you can count on me!” she then ran off to gather potion supplies.
---------
Apple Bloom finished telling Zecora all about the day’s events as they approached Cheerilee’s place, the sound of a happy filly laughing being hard. “I feel kind of bad doing this. Cheerilee just seems so happy with a child of her own.” She said, before pushing the door open hearing sounds from the kitchen.
She peeked in seeing the surprising sight of her two friends wearing bibs and blushing at Cheerilee's motherly tone. “Alright sweeties time for num nums.”
Scootaloo whined. “I don't wanna bib!”
Cheerilee cooed “Now now, I can't have you two eating without a bib. I don't want your clean coats getting dirty.”
Blossom babbled and gurgled pounding her tiny hooves on her tray.
Cheerilee cooed, “calm down sweetie mommy has your num nums.”
Zecora and Apple Bloom came in and Cheerilee beamed a big smile at them. “Hello, Apple Bloom did you bring a friend over for dinner?”
Apple Bloom gulped and stammered, “uh yeah..she’s...a…”
Zecora just replied “Cheerilee I must confess as you see i'm here to set you free.”
Cheerilee laughed “free from what?”
Zecora continued “Now sit down as what is true is going to be hard to say onto you.”
Cheerilee sat down on a chair shaking unsure of if she wanted to hear what Zecora had to say. Zecora cleared her throat. “now this may be hard to tell, but Blossom is Big Mac under a spell.”
Cheerilee laughed hugging her baby close. “You mean a big hulking stallion is this little adorable angel.”
Apple Bloom nodded and explained. “Yeah you see that punch I gave you on Friday, well I mixed in a love potion and heart desire potion. It was supposed to make you and big Mac fall in love normally not turn you into a mom and Big Mac into a baby filly.”
“Apple Bloom, if this is part of your creative writing assignment I’ll give you marks for creativity.” Cheerilee remarked still in denial as she petted her darling little foal. “Big stallions don’t change into foals.”
With a quick glance at her friends, Apple Bloom retorted. “But I can prove it. Do you know where you adopted her from? Or even have adoption papers?”
Cheerilee grasp tighten slightly on Blossom. “Of course, it was at uh...Ponyville uh…”
“Ponyville doesn’t have an orphanage,” the filly approached. “Please just take the potion and things will make sense.”
“This joke isn’t funny,” Cheerilee protested, raising her voice a little. Blossom wiggled scared at the tension in the room.
Zecora came over and tried to explain calmly “Cheerilee it's alright, Don't get lost in the fright.”
“Yeah just take the potion, if nothing happens then we’re wrong.” Sweetie added.
“ Well...I need to change Blossom’s diaper first.” Cheerilee noticed, patting the diaper.
Zecora asked, “Alright Cheerilee hurry up and change the diapee.”
The mare took the foal and quickly left the kitchen as Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle took off their bibs. Scootaloo shouted, “you better not tell anyone about this ever!”
Apple Bloom sighed and mumbled, “Alright well hopefully the diaper change is fast.” Moments later they heard various boxes tumble to the floor soon seeing Cheerilee making a run for it down the street with her foal and and diaper bag. The fillies gasped. Zecora shouted “oh no we have to get her! Before Big Mac stays a baby forever!”
The fillies and Zebra quickly exited the house chasing after the frantic mare. “Where she goin?”
Apple Bloom asked Zecora being pretty quick although Cheerilee was just a fast it seemed when adrenaline was concerned leaving the fillies to lag behind.
Cheerilee’s hooves beat upon the road as ran her foal bouncing in her carrier as she did so. She breather heavier as she headed into town unsure where she was going now running on instinct alone. She didn’t want to lose her little filly, she was happy being a mother. Why did they want to take it away?
The shouts of the school fillies made her jump as Applebloom came running out after her. “Cheerilee, come back!”
Sweetie Belle groaned, watching Zecora take the lead. “we need to get them before they leave Ponyville!”
Scootaloo climbed onto her scooter, strapping on her helmet and shouted, “then what are we doing standing here let’s go!” She then zoomed down the road the other two fillies running after her trying to keep pace as best they could.
They continued onward chasing their teacher for some time before seeing Cheerilee run into the train station trying to get on a ticket
Cheerilee slammed her hooves on the ticket counter and shouted “give me two tickets anywhere!” There was no train at the platform at the moment as the clerk jumped b the sudden thump of her hooves.
“U-uh well the one way train to Fillydipha comes in about half an hour. Does that work?”
Cheerilee shook her head staring back at the ponies gaining on her she stammered “I...I have to go!” She was going to run again when Zecora came into the station first panting. “Cheerilee wait, you are making a grave mistake”
Cheerilee turned and hugged Blossom crying, “you’re going to take my baby away I won’t let you.” She pressed her body against the one wall as the clerk just watched in confusion.
Zecora calmly approached the shivering mare and whispered, “Cheerilee that filly is no baby, I promise once Big Mac is is free, I will find a way to make you a mommy.”
Applebloom came up next crying a little as she added. “Yeah, i’m sorry I didn’t know you wanted to be mother this bad. You look so happy but I need my brother back.” Zecora pull out the small beaker pouring some of it into a fresh cup of coffee she snagged from the machine nearby. “Just trust me okay?”
Cheerilee gulped as she took a gulp of the warm coffee and gasped as memories of the night Big Mac transformed rushed into her mind. She squealed, “what in the hay is going on! Where am I?
Sweetie had taken Blossom and was feeding her the bottle mixed the potion watching it drain ‘uh we kind of used potion on and it backfired. We’ll explained everything soon,”
Sweetie Belle placed the filly down on the ground and the ponies all watched in amazement as the filly grew into a large stallion with the diaper bursting sending pieces flying everywhere. Big Mac stumbled about soon caught int Cheerilee hooves “ugh, my head feels ie i had way too many ciders.” He blushed upon seeing he was in Cheerilee’s embrace. “What going on?”
Cheerilee turned to the cutie mark crusaders with a glare. “Those three gave us some potion, now you better start explaining what happened.”
The fillies all gulped as Applebloom started explaining, “alright...but it’s a long story.”
The group had left the station deciding on the park for a more private conversation since the stares they were getting were rather distracting. The group had by pure occusiance ended up by the same tree this whole mess had started. After Applebloom finished explaining the whole story, Cheerilee and Big Mac were both blushing looking at each other. Cheerilee cooed,”wow so you were my daughter for three days.” The thought of all the spending she done made her wince yet she kept smiling.
Big Mac squeaked. “Stop! I...I don’t want anypony to know let’s just say I was away in Appleloosa like Applebloom told Applejack. She would NEVER let me forget it if she knew I was back in diapers!”
Zecora nodded, “I agree, since this is a matter of Cheerilee’s and Big Mac’s privacy.”
Cheerilee asked,”but what should I tell my students they all think I have a daughter!? Worse they probably told their parents!” A blush radiates on her face.
Zecora responded with a quaint smile, “just say that Blossom was returned to her real family, okay?”
“Aww, I bet Diamond Tiara will miss her,” Applebloom giggled.
Cheerilee narrowed her eyes having her teacher look. “Don’t think you got off scott free. I’ll expect a report on the danger of potion making plus doing some of Big Mac’s chores.”
“B-but what about the others, they helped,” Applebloom whined gesturing to the other fillies. Her friends glaring hardly wanting punished for this.
Big Mac chuckled, “they can help at the farm too if they want. But Zecora is there any side effects I can use the bathroom like a normal pony correct?”
Zecora walked around the big stallion and looked him over. “From what I can tell you may only pee during the night as well,”
Big Mac squeaked, “what no! ...I can't be a bedwetter! Please tell me it not forever.”
Cheerilee ruffles Big Mac head “Aww does the foal need potty trained,” she teased.
Zecora nodded “yes that's true Cheerilee you may need to still help Big Mac go to the bathroom.”
Cheerilee squealed clopping her hooves together. “So we can have potty training sleepovers!” Her giddiness returned even at the thought of changing little Macy.
Big Mac pouted and crossed his hooves. “I-I do not.” He then turned to Applebloom .”well you and your friends are going to have to help with the chores while i'm back in potty training, were still in the middle of apple bucking season.”
Applebloom groaned and mumbled, ”Yes Big Mac I understand. Um, at least you get to be Cheerilee foal for a bit right?”
Cheerilee eyed her. “Don’t push your luck young lady.”
Zecora laughed, “okay you two, we better get Big Mac home or Applejack may discover the truth.”
Big Mac got up with the rest of the ponies and mumbled, “she better not.”
A few days later…
Big Mac was grumbling as he was with Cheerilee back at the supermarket. She was in the diaper section looking at adult diapers and cooed, “you know I was lucky enough to return a lot of that foal stuff I bought. So now I have more than enough bits to make our sleepovers fun.”
Big Mac growled, “great, just tell me if they have diapers my size.”
She giggled coming over a large package. “Super Poof for big stallions with bedwetting problems.” She took the package of the shelf, “these should do.”
Big Mac gasped at the package of the diapers. It had on the front a giant white diaper and the letters reading SUPER POOF blatant on the baby blue colored plastic. “Th..they have to have another brand.”
Cheerilee shook her head putting three packages into the shopping cart. “Sorry these are the only diapers here that’ll fit you.”
She then strolled to a simple diaper brand for herself putting a few packages into the shopping cart. “Besides i’ll be wearing diapers with you to make things more comfortable.”
Big Mac whimpered walking along as they went to the same mare who Cheerilee spoke to scanned the diapers and giggled, “oh hey Cheerilee how are things with Blossom?”
Cheerilee blushed and waved a hoof nervously, “oh Blossom she was..um...given to her real parents.”
The mare gasped, “really?”
The teacher gave a nervous smile and continued, “yeah her parents were really nice...they uh...just were really ...um poor when they had her so..they got jobs...now their all living together!”
Big Mac rolled his eyes and slammed a hoof to his face That was the worse lie i've ever heard! as the mare cried, “oh that was such a sad story! I hope Mr and Mrs Blossom do well with that little adorable filly.”
The clerk finished scanning the packages of diapers and placed them in bags she eyed the diapers. “So what are these diapers for if you don’t mind me asking?”
Big Mac started sweating as Cheerilee went next to the mare’s ear and whispered, “oh..well...I still want to be a mommy and Big Mac is going to be my practice baby until I adopt again.”
The mare dawwed ,”oh how wonderful he even looks like Blossom.” she hoofed the bags to Cheerilee as she cooed,”Big Mac that’s really nice of you, be a good foal for Cheerilee.”
He just quickly ran out of the store as Cheerilee teased the stallion as she followed behind, “oh you big colt get back here! You need to hold mommy’s hoof!”
She went outside to Big Mac still quivering and Cheerilee placed a hoof in his mane slowly petting his mane and asked. “Hey Big Mac are you alright?”
He sighed turning to her, “im fine just...well this is super embarrassing!”
Cheerilee cooed,”I know, im sorry it’s just well…”
Big Mac asked,”well what?”
Cheerilee turned back and sighed, “nothing, I better get going and set up a room for you, so how about we do this sleepover on Friday?”
He rolled his eyes, “yeah friday is fine, and i'm going to make sure Applebloom works her rump off!”
Cheerilee giggled. “Alright don’t be too hard on her, she was just trying to get us together.”
Big Mac rubbed his neck as he mumbled, “I guess so.” Cheerilee gave him a hug Mac returning the gesture as he threw his hooves around her. They stood like that for a few minutes before Cheerilee kissed him on the cheek. “Alright I better get going.” He nodded and watched as she left then for a secomd he felt a longing for the teacher and whispered,”bye mommy.”
Big Mac squeaked at what he just said and quickly ran back to the farm.
