Prologue: The Ghost of Nightmare and Wishing
In the town of Ohio, Columbus, there was a 9-year-old kid by the name of Timmy who was living with his aunt, uncle, and cousin while his parents were working in New York for their business. Timmy's parents said that they would be back to check on him when they get the chance. But when they left, Timmy's aunt Audrey, Uncle Frankie, and cousin Owen then started treating him badly. They made a mess around the house and made him clean it up all by himself.
That has been going on for 3 months. When his ninth birthday came, his parents sent him some birthday presents, but Owen took them for his own. And all he did get for his birthday was to clean the entire house. He wasn't all that happy when he was there. He just wanted to go outside and play with his friends, but his aunt won't allow it.
Then one day, Timmy got very sick. But did his aunt and uncle care? No. They wanted him to keep cleaning the house. Then They left Timmy all alone to keep cleaning. It wasn't really helping. He needed some rest if he wanted to get better. But it wasn't enough to help.
One day he kept cleaning, and he saw the baseball diamond that, like an evil eyeball that Owen and his friends stole from the magic shop. He took it and looked at the diamond.
“I wish my parents were coming,” Timmy sighed.
He heard the door open, and there were Timmy's parents. When they saw him, they were surprised at the state he was in.
"Timmy?" his mom asked. "What has happened to you?"
"M-Mommy...?" Timmy asked, sickly.
Timmy's parents rushed towards him and hugged him tightly. Timmy's father then asked, "How could this have happened to you?"
Timmy looked at his father and weakly said, "Aunt Audrey... she... made me... her... slave..."
"Slave?!" Timmy's parents angrily asked in unison.
"My own sister?" Timmy's mom asked. "How dare she do this to my son?" She then got out her cell phone and called her sister.
"Oh, hello, Lynn," came the voice of Audrey. "How have you been doing in New York?"
"Oh, I'm doing fine," said Timmy's mom, hiding the fact that she was angry. "I have a question for you. How is Timmy? Is he getting enough nutrition? Seeing his friends? Is he healthy?"
"Oh, yes," said Audrey lying carelessly through the phone. "Right now, I'm watching him at the park. He's having a lot of fun with his friends."
"Huh. Well, that's funny," said Timmy's mom, starting to get angry. "Because I'm at your apartment, and it looks like Timmy's here all by himself, and he looks really sick."
"WHAT?!" Audrey exclaimed through the phone. "You're back in the States?! Okay, listen..."
"No, you listen!" Timmy's mom snapped at her. "You and stupid husband treated Timmy like a slave, and cleaned up your apartment when he's sick and alone. You said you would take good care of him while we were away. But you’ve lied to both of us." She then looked at Timmy and asked, "Did you receive the gifts we sent you?"
"Aunt Audrey and Uncle Frankie took them and the toys I had and gave them to Owen for him to keep forever," said Timmy, very sick. He then started coughing.
Timmy's mom then spoke into the phone, saying, "You are never going to be trusted again. I'll be alerting the police about your f//king behavior toward my son."
Timmy's dad picked Timmy up, and they headed out of the apartment. They took Timmy to the nearest hospital and the doctors took Timmy, and he was put into a hospital room.
The doctors said, "It would seem that all of the medical records on Timmy were destroyed."
"Seriously?" Timmy's mom asked. "My sister destroyed my son's medical records, too?! She's evil, and we didn't even know it!"
"But I'm afraid that it won't be enough to save Timmy," said the doctor. "His sickness is so severe... he would be lucky to survive the night."
That made the parents sad. Timmy's mom had tears coming out of her eyes. Timmy's father then said, "We should've taken him with us instead of leaving him with your sister."
"I agree," said Timmy's mom. She then leaned towards Timmy on the bed, kissed him on the forehead, and said, "I am so sorry, Timmy. I wish I knew what my so-called sister was doing to you sooner."
"M-Mommy..." Timmy said, weakly.
"Don't speak, Timmy," said Timmy's mother. "I'll always love you." She took Timmy's hand and put it to her heart and said, "In here."
Timmy was sad to know that he was dying, but he was happy knowing that he got to see his parents one last time.
Later that night, Timmy looked out the window. He looked at the diamond that he still had. He decided to make one last wish.
"Star Light... Star Bright... First Star I see tonight... I wish I could... I wish I might... have the wish I wish tonight... He thought in his head. "I wish my parents would have a second chance at being good parents. As for myself, I wish that I would be given another chance with a new family of my own. A family that will appreciate me for who I am."
Just then his heart started beating slower and slower. But then his heart stopped with a long, never-ending beep on the heart monitor. Timmy's parents were sad to see that their son had passed away. And the doctor looked at the clock and wrote something on a note. "Time of death: 8:02 PM."
When the room was empty, the diamond sat on the nightstand, which featured an evil eyeball, started glowing a bluish-purple magical cloud, before it enveloped his entire body and it suddenly disappeared while the moon twinkled in the sky.
Meanwhile, in the land of Equestria, in the small town of Ponyville, there was a unicorn mare named Twilight Sparkle. She had pale light grayish purple fur, dark sapphire blue mane and tail with moderate purple and brilliant rose pink streaks, moderate purple eyes, and each flank had a symbol of a pink star surrounded by smaller white stars.
She was in the park gazing at the stars before heading home and had a book of constellations for her to check out each of them shown.
Suddenly, she remembered to have forgotten something. “I must’ve left one of my books somewhere by accident,” she said, walking around the park to find her missing book. She lit up her horn to help her find it, but suddenly, she found herself near the Everfree Forest, a scary forbidden place, where monsters and other creatures roam the forest. She remembered using the forest with her friends to find the Elements of Harmony to defeat Nightmare Moon and save Equestria.
Suddenly, Twilight eventually found the book she was looking for. Twilight then placed it into one of her saddlebags she had strapped around her, and said, “Perfect. Now to get back home and…” Twilight was about to head out of there, but she suddenly saw a secret passage underneath a few bushes, revealing a tunnel leading to somewhere, “Huh… I wonder where this leads.”
Twilight was standing a little bit too close to the tunnel until it had a bit of a sloping feature to it. Twilight eventually slipped and she was sliding down the hall, screaming all the way there.
”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HHHHHHHH!!!!“
She eventually made it to the end and tunnel, which led her to the middle of the Everfree Forest and next to the Castle of the Two Sisters.
“Wh-Wh-Where am I?” Twilight asked, lighting up her horn. She was worried at the moment, as she looked around for some safer way back to Ponyville, until she saw some crystals and rocks forming a small stone-hedge, and some vines covered with a bunch of baby blue and purple flowers, which started to bloom and glow in the dark underneath the light of the full moon.
“Wow… it’s… it’s beautiful,” she said, as she eventually took a look at the stone hedge in front of her and walked over to it carefully. She suddenly saw something glowing underneath the ground, until she gently dug out the light with her hoof, before finding a greenish blue orb shaped like an eyeball and glowing with a bluish-purple lunar aura.
When she placed her hoof onto it, she suddenly saw it glowing again. But, it released a dark gloomy fog around her, as Twilight gasped in shock and horror when she saw a ghostly and spiritual figure resembling the same villain she and her friends defeated with the Elements of Harmony: Nightmare Moon.
“NIGHTMARE MOON?!” Twilight asked in shock.
“That’s right, Twilight Sparkle!” the ghost of Nightmare Moon said. “You fell into my trap! Tonight, I shall retake Equestria… in a new body for my own!”
“You’ll never take my body, or any of my friends’ bodies,” Twilight said. “We defeated you once, and we’ll defeat you again.”
“Who says I’ll be taking over a body, my dear?” Nightmare Moon’s ghost asked, giving a mischievous smirk. Her horn then started glowing and fired a beam towards Twilight and disappeared, until the unicorn mare took the blow.
“GAAAAH!” Twilight called out, but as Nightmare Moon’s cackle kept spreading everywhere, Twilight kept looking around.
“WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!” Twilight shouted.
“Don’t you worry? You’ll find out soon,” Nightmare Moon’s voice said until the cackling faded.
She then heard silence all around her, glad that it was all over, and then said, “I should probably get home.” She then looked forward in any direction, looking for any possible way back to Ponyville, but as she looked straight ahead, she saw a safer exit. “That must be my way out.” Twilight then started walking on the path she followed, hoping that she would get back to the Golden Oak Library and possibly go to bed.
As she was walking, she wasn’t paying any attention to her stomach slowly swelling up. She did, however, feel her stomach grumbling, and possibly felt hungry.
“Huh. I'm feeling really hungry,” Twilight thought to herself while walking. “Maybe I should go pick up something for me and Spike before heading home.” Then, she suddenly thought of something when going wide-eyed, and slightly furrowed with confusion and her eyes upwards. “Wait a minute! Spike and I already had dinner earlier! So, why am I so hungry all of a sudden?! Maybe that’s not hunger…” She felt both the straps on her saddlebags tighten up a small squeeze around her belly. “My saddlebags are feeling a little tight. Maybe I should...” Twilight suddenly made the mistake of looking at the straps but noticed that her stomach was now bigger, as she went wide-eyed in concern.
“What in Celestia’s name is happening to me?!” Twilight asked until Nightmare Moon’s cackle came back.
“Still misunderstood, Twilight Sparkle,” her voice said. “That speed was to only help give me a body of my own. That magical blast you felt was an instant maternity spell.”
“Instant maternity spell?! What does that mean?!” Twilight asked.
“That simple little spell I performed gives the mare who it hits a little… how do you put it? Let me think? ‘Bun’ in the oven?” the evil and dark alicorn’s ghost asked cruelly with a tease.
“What?!” Twilight asked. “You made me pregnant?!”
“But sadly, when the foal is born, it’ll have my soul,” the Ghost of Nightmare Moon said. “But as soon as it’s born, I shall take over and it’ll grow up and become my new vessel, and I shall rule again!”
“But an alicorn can’t be born!” Twilight said, trying to carefully move. “That’s impossible!”
“Hehe…you better hurry, because you’ve got approximately 3 minutes to get home! You didn’t give birth to an alicorn…you will give birth to a DRACONEQUUS! Chaos makes me more powerful!!” Nightmare Moon’s ghost said as she disappeared cackling again before it faded.
Twilight then gently and carefully walked out of the forest, but suddenly, she felt a sight of pain coming from her stomach. She had no choice but to lie down on her side and try to relax. She looked around and called out, “Help! Somepony, please help me!”
Twilight then felt another painful thump in her stomach, and she cried out in pain. She was crying in pain at how much it was hurting her stomach. She then had no choice but to take off the saddlebags and lay them beside her. Twilight then started breathing heavily, trying to ease the pain that was happening to her. Until a familiar sight appeared in her eyes.
Twilight moved her head, looked up, and saw her friend, Fluttershy, the timidly caring yellow pegasus mare with the pink silky mane and tail walking over to her cottage.
“Fluttershy! Fluttershy, please help me!” Twilight called out. Fluttershy heard Twilight’s voice and then trotted over to her friend and saw how painfully and heavily swollen her belly was until she knew what was happening.
“My goodness! Are you alright, Twilight?!” Fluttershy asked.
“I need to get back home, but my tummy’s hurting so much I can’t move,” Twilight said, but she then felt another painful nudge in her stomach. “Can you please help? I don’t have much time.”
“Absolutely! Just hold on!” Fluttershy said, as she looked down and began to ask her bunny Angel a favor. “Angel honey, gather some help so I can bring Twilight inside.”
Angel saluted his paw and bounced over to the other animals and made some motivational communication asking for their help until they were all delighted to assist. The animals were divided into a few smaller portions and helped Fluttershy carry Twilight inside without harming the unexpected cargo that magically appeared inside her now completely round and bulbous belly.
After Fluttershy’s animals finally got Twilight inside the cottage where their caretaker lived, they carefully placed her onto her bed where Fluttershy usually sleeps, and then Fluttershy put a few towels underneath her rear area, but kept the folded ones and a bowl of hot steamy water, along with her first aid kit next to her.
Until all of a sudden, Spike, Twilight’s number 1 assistant, and their friends, a rainbow-maned blue pegasus named Rainbow Dash, a grayish orange western earth pony mare with a stetson hat named Applejack, a curly purple-maned white unicorn mare named Rarity, and a puffy maned pink pony named Pinkie Pie arrived.
“TWILIGHT?!” they all exclaimed in concern to their inexplicably bloated friend.
“Oh my stars, darling!” Rarity said, showing worry, trying to fix Twilight's disheveled mane for her dignity’s sake.
“Are you alright, sugarcube?” Applejack asked, feeling that her experience as a farm pony was going to be very important, and very soon.
“What happened to you?” Rainbow Dash asked just weirded out of the situation, tilting her head in confusion at what she was seeing.
“How did this happen, by the way?” Fluttershy asked.
“It’s sort of a funny story,” Twilight said until she then told Fluttershy about how it happened after getting her book back from the forest. Fluttershy suddenly felt shocked about hearing about Twilight’s encounter with Nightmare Moon’s ghost.
“Oh my! That means we’ll have to defeat the foal if that happens!” Fluttershy said sadly. “Okay, I’ll do the best I can, so just breathe and let me take it from here.”
“Let us assist, dear,” Rarity said sweetly.
Twilight nodded until she looked down and saw Fluttershy’s hooves were all wet, meaning she was leaking from her section. “Oh no!” Twilight shouted frightfully. “My water broke! It’s coming!” Then a huge bolt of pain came from her stomach. “GAAAAAAAHHH!!”
“Oh my! Okay, just try to stay calm and I’ll get this done,” Fluttershy said. “Okay, but hurry! I don’t think I can hold it any longer!” Twilight said as she saw Rarity placing a blanket around her belly, so she wouldn't be able to see what was going on. “Just let Fluttershy handle it. Pinkie, could you be on watch in case you see something?”
“Okie-dokie-lokie!” Pinkie Pie replied.
“Rainbow Dash, could you and Applejack support Twilight?” Fluttershy asked. The two mares nodded, and Rainbow Dash held Twilight’s hoof while Applejack placed one hoof behind her neck and one on her hoof and shoulder. “We’re right by your side, Twilight,” Applejack said, and Twilight nodded.
Twilight then started pushing to get the foal out of her. She felt the stinging cessation coming from her crotch area. She could now feel her private area stretching. “GAAAAH!!” Twilight let out one painful cry. “It hurts so much!” She then started breathing fast but exhaled deeply without hyperventilating.
“Ooh! Here comes the head! Here comes the head!” Pinkie Pie bounced happily. “Okay, just one more push and we’re all done,” Fluttershy said sweetly.
“Just take it easy, darling,” Rarity said.
Twilight nodded and started pushing. It was really painful for her.
Fluttershy then saw the small sack coming out of Twilight’s rear, until Rarity lit up her horn with a blue magical aura and used a scalpel from Fluttershy’s first aid kit to cut it open, and out came a baby draconequus, but after Rarity got it all cleaned up and wrapped in a clean towel, the draconequus wasn’t moving, until its head and paws were the only things they could see.
Suddenly, from Twilight’s saddlebags, Nightmare Moon’s ghostly aura from the Crystal Eye arose and then swarmed towards the baby.
“NOOOO!!” the Mane 6 and Spike shouted. Then, a bright light emerged from the diamond as well, and landed on the baby draconequus, blocking out Nightmare Moon’s spirit, and preventing her from getting near the baby.
Both spirits suddenly had an argument and a fight, until a small bright speck of blue light appeared, but as Nightmare Moon could prevent it, a bright light spirit entered the baby draconequus.
“What... just... happened?” Rarity asked.
“I don't know,” Spike replied.
“Look! The draconequus!” Fluttershy said. All seven of them started looking at the cub. The cub then started aging up to age six. They then saw his coat, body, horn and mane, and tail starting to gain some color. His pony head was the color of Twilight, his two tiny light purple dragon horns that were covered by his mane, his mane was dark blue and light purple, his fur coat was dark purple, his right lion arm was light purple, Left raven arm was dark gray, his two back tiger legs were light purple with black stripes, his bird wings were light purple, his dragon tail was light purple with dark blue and light purple tip hair on top of his tail.
“What in tarnation just happened?” Applejack asked.
“I have no idea,” Rainbow Dash said.
“Is... is the foal okay?” Twilight asked weakly.
“Don’t worry, darling. The foal is alright,” Rarity said, holding the draconequus on her hoof, and showing him to Twilight.
“Oh my gosh… it’s a draconequus colt. He has my color on his head,” Twilight said until Rarity laid the draconequus beside her.
The girls then felt tired, and they decided to sleep in the cottage for the night. As the draconequus colt was still asleep, Twilight wanted to inspect the draconequus cub more, but she went under, wrapping her hooves around the sleeping draconequus cub. Fluttershy then removed the towels from under Twilight and then got everything she used, and then Rarity covered Twilight and the little draconequus up with the blanket until Mane 5 and Spike went to sleep. Hopefully, everything will make sense for Twilight in the morning.
