It was a beautiful day, of course, but today wasn't like any other day. Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, AppleJack, and Fluttershy all took the day off to spend the whole day just with eachother. The six of them were swimming at the town pool they made during Mother's Day. AppleJack and Twilight were splashing eachother, Rarity was laying down on a lounge chair all stylish, Fluttershy tried to go down the steps into the pool but the water was too cold for her. Then Pinkie Pie sneaks up behind Fluttershy and yells, "SURPRISE!" and Fluttershy loses her balance and falls in the water and starts shivering. Everypony laughed.
"Hey Rarity? You coming into the water?" asked Twilight.
"Why would I want to waste my time in the filthy clorine water that other ponies probably peed in when I can just lay down in the sunshine?" said Rarity.
"Like this!" said Pinkie. She jumped into the water and some of the water got on Rarity.
"AAH!" cried Rarity, then she got mad at Pinkie. "PINKIE PIE!" Pinkie just smiled at her and gave out a squee.
"Alright, stand back everypony! I wanna show my awesome new cannon ball trick!" said Rainbow Dash.
"Oh, stay careful alright?" said Fluttershy. "Cannonballs can, um, sometimes hurt."
"It's the belly flops that hurt, sug." said AppleJack. "It wouldn't hurt seein' a cool trick our good friend Rainbow Dash has!"
Rainbow Dash flies up to the air, then starts falling head first into the pool without her wings. She lands in the pool and causes a big splash. More water even hit Rarity.
"RAINBOW DASH!" yelled Rarity.
"Oops, sorry Rarity." Rainbow Dash said embarrassed.
"It sure is a beautiful day, isn't it?" said Twilight.
"Sure is a sugarcube!" said AppleJack. "Ah'm glad ah took the day off to spend time with mah friends!"
"Same here!" said Rainbow Dash.
"Ooo ooo, same here!" said Pinkie while hopping.
"Oh yes, it really is nice, isn't it?" said Fluttershy.
"Just imagine if we were actually swimming in chocolate milk! That would be super duper fun!" said Pinkie.
"Yeah, right." Said Twilight.
"Ah don't know about you ponies, but ah feel like gettin some grub right now." Said AppleJack.
"Yeah, come to think of it. I am kinda hungry too." Said Fluttershy.
"Me three! Where do you girls want to go?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"How about that new Porker's Barbecue?" asked Twilight.
"How about that fancy restaurant? Salads 'n' Soups?" asked Rarity.
"I'm in the mood for Taco Shack!" said Rainbow Dash. "Awesome delicious tacos!"
"Silly ponies! What kind of friends would we be if we didn't go Flare's?" said Pinkie with a big smile.
"Oh yes! That's what I was thinking too, Pinkie!" said Fluttershy.
"Fluttershy and I out vote you all! We're going to Flare's!" cried Pinkie in excitement.
"Ah thought this was suppose to be an 'us' day?" asked AppleJack.
"It wouldn't hurt getting a slice over at Flare's." said Rarity. "He serves soup and salads anyway."
"Yeah alright. Flare's shop is cool." Said Rainbow Dash.
"Ah agree!" said AppleJack. "Ya'll in Twilight?"
"Might as well, AppleJack!" said Twilight.
So the six friends left the pool and walked over to Flare's Pizza Parlor for lunch. They went inside and waited to be seated.
"This place is so fancy!" said Pinkie. "I wonder if I can make Sugarcube Corner this fancy. I mean seriously, who can top this place?"
"Yes. Although the walls could use a darker color, and maybe a few picture frames of art here and there, not photos." Said Rarity. "Maybe the floor should have carpet. Wait, what if it stains. Maybe this place would be more interesting if there were less speakers on the stage over there. I remember when Sweetie Belle sang on that stage. She sounded like a real celebrity singer. Hmm…."
Spike walked up to the Main 6 with a tuxedo on. "Good afternoon! Welcome to Flare's Pizza Parlor!" said Spike. "Where we don't serve any gems of any kind." He twitched while he said it.
"Spike? You work here?" asked Twilight confusingly.
"Yeah. You didn't get my note?" asked Spike.
Then a flashback was shown with Twilight studying with potions. The potion exploded and made a gooey mess on Twilight's face. Twilight looks for a paper towel, but couldn't find any. She finds a note on the table and uses it to wipe her face.
"Was this paper important?" Twilight said to herself. "Nah!"
The flashback ended.
"Oh that note? Well… I…." Twilight got nervous then gave Spike an embarrassing smile.
"When did ya'll start working here Spike?" asked AppleJack.
"Yesterday was my first day. I wanted this job, because SOMEPONY didn't bother!" Spike said looking at Twilight.
"I'm busy studying for Princess Celestia." Said Twilight.
"So you decide to study, and let us starve?" asked Spike.
"I'm really proud of you, Spike. It was really nice of Flare giving you this job." Said Twilight with a smile.
"Doesn't Spikey look adorable in that tuxedo?" said Rarity in a blushy voice.
Spike blushed. "This way to your table." He said leading them to the table the main 6 is gonna sit in. He places the menus on the table, and the Mane 6 sit down on the booth. "Let me know when you need anything." Spike walks away.
"So what you girls planning on having?" asked Fluttershy. "I mean, if that's okay for me asking."
"Ah was thinking of having spaghetti with apple sauce and apple slices on it." Said AppleJack.
"Always with the apples, huh AppleJack?" said Rainbow Dash.
"Always with the awesomeness, huh Rainbow Dash?" said AppleJack with a wink.
"You know it!" said Rainbow Dash.
"What are ya'll planning to eat Pinkie?" asked AppleJack.
"The desert pizza, duh!" said Pinkie. "What about you Fluttershy?"
"Oh, um, I'll just take a salad." Said Fluttershy.
"Why are we ordering anyway? Nopony is around to take our order yet!" said Pinkie with a giggle.
"Ah have no idea, sugar cube." Said AppleJack giggling along.
Bon Bon walks over to their table. "Good afternoon! May I start off you all with a drink?" she asked.
"Ah'll take some apple cider, Bon Bon." said AppleJack.
"Oh, um, just… plain water." Said Fluttershy.
"Mountain Dew! I love that stuff!" said Rainbow Dash. "It's awesome!"
"Chocolate milk, please!" said Pinkie Pie.
"May I take the Luna Special?" asked Twilight.
"Excellent choices! Are we ready to order too?" asked Bon Bon.
"Yeah I'll take a spaghetti with apples." Said AppleJack.
"Just a salad." Said Fluttershy. "Olive oil and oregano."
"Desert pizza for me!" said Pinkie. "With jelly beans, and chocolate chips, and cherries, and lollipops, and whip cream, and hot fudge, and cotton candy, and all the sweets you have!"
"Ooookay." Said Bon Bon. "Anypony else?"
"I'll take your soup, salad, and slice deal." Said Rarity. "Italian dressing, minestrone soup, and….. make that an olive and pineapple pizza."
"And I'll just take a few slices of pizza with onion, peppers, olives, mushrooms, and garlic." said Twilight.
"Alright coming right up!" said Bon Bon taking the menus and walking to the kitchen to fill that order.
"You know what girls? I've been thinking." said Fluttershy. "What if we turned into babies? How would you feel?"
"Lazy. Because I ain't doing nothin if I'm one." said Rainbow Dash.
"Well at least you'd have no responsibilies." said Rarity.
"But somepony would be tellin ya'll what to do." said AppleJack.
"That's true!" cried Rainbow Dash.
"Oh c'mon, being a foal would be fun!" said Pinkie. "We can do whatever we want!"
"There's a limit though, Pinkie." said AppleJack.
"Yeah, so?" said Pinkie. "When I took care of the Cake's babies, they did whatever they wanted!"
"Did they? Or do you let them?" teased Twilight.
Pinkie stayed silent for a moment. "Uhhh..." she mumbled. "Where's our food?"
"Bon Bon just took our order." said AppleJack. "Ya'll think the food would be here that fast?"
Lyra walks by with all the food and drink for the Mane 6 and sets them down.
"Well ah stand corrected then. Thanks Lyra!" said AppleJack.
"You're welcome!" said Lyra. "Is there anything else I can get for ya?"
"Some extra napkins, if you please darling?" asked Rarity.
"Right away!" said Lyra. She walks over to the counter and gets a dozen extra napkins for the gang.
"Um-Lyra is it's okay... may we see Flare?" asked Fluttershy.
"Flare's busy at the moment, but I'll see if he has the time to see you." said Lyra.
"Thank you!" said Fluttershy.
"Weeee! We going to see Flare!" cried Pinkie.
"Calm down, sug. Lyra said he could be busy." said AppleJack.
"Lyra said who could be busy?" asked Flare standing at the other end of the table.
"Well ah stand corrected again!" said AppleJack.
"Hiiiii Flare!" cried Pinkie in happiness.
"Sup sisters? What do you need me fer?" asked Flare.
"We wanted to come and see you darling!" said Rarity.
"But I thought this was your day together?" asked Flare.
"Yeah, well since we were hungry, we wanted to come to your shop and have some of your delicious food!" said Twilight.
"Awww. Smiley face. Thanks girls! I-D-K what to say." said Flare. "So what are you girls doing together today?"
"Well so far, we went to the park, went to Sugarcube Corner, went to Sweet Apple Arcers, went to the town pool, and here we are now!" said Pinkie. "Later we're going to Rarity's for a makeover, watch Rainbow Dash do tricks, go to the movies, and set up our slumber party!"
"Slumber party?!" said Flare in excitment. "Can I come? I never been to one before!"
"Oh sorry, Flare. Mares only." said Twilight.
"I'll bring food! I'll bring pizza! I'll be really fun!" said Flare.
"Mares only, sug. We made up our minds." said AppleJack.
"I'm hosting it in my house! Last slumber party was just me, AppleJack, and Rarity. Now all of us!" said Twilight.
"But if it's in your house, where am I gonna go?" asked Spike.
"You can stay with Flare! Play some of your video games and such." said Twilight.
"Yeah, wouldn't you two like that?" asked Pinkie.
"But now you got me in the mood to going to your slumber party!" Flare whinned. "Why did you tell me you were having one?"
"That doesn't mean you don't have the right to know!" said Pinkie with a smile.
"Don't worry, Flare. You can have your own sleep over at your place! You can invite Spike, Blaze, your friend Engine..." said Rainbow Dash.
"But I wanna go to yooours!" whinned Flare.
"Me tooooooo!" whinned Spike. They both gave the Mane 6, puppy dog eyes.
The Main 6 couldn't stand the cuteness from Flare and Spike. Then Twilight finally gave up.
"Fine, if you can turn yourselves into mares by tonight, you're in!" said Twilight.
"Did you that hear Flare?" asked Spike.
"Oooooooh!" Flare and Spike both said like in Regular Show. "We're going to Twilight's Slumber Party! We're going to Twilight's Slumber Party! Uuuh!"
The Mane 6 just stared at Flare and Spike while they were celebrating.
"Check please?" said Rainbow Dash.
Hours went by, and Flare was about to close his shop for the night. Flare and Spike are cleaning the tables.
"Oooo it's not fair, Flare!" said Spike.
"About not being able to go to Twilight's slumber party without being a mare?" asked Flare.
"No, that I have to help you clean these tables!" complained Spike. "Why couldn't you get Lyra or Bonnie to do it?"
"They had a date tonight, so I let them go earily." said Flare.
"Oh and if I had a date, you wouldn't let me go?" asked Spike.
"But you don't have a date! Winkey face." said Flare.
"Shut up!" cried Spike, throwing his towel at Flare, but missed.
"LOL missed me!" teased Flare.
"No I didn't. I was aiming for that bug on the window." said Spike.
"Awwww. What did the poor bug ever done to you? You should be ashamed of yourself!" said Flare.
"It's just a bug dude." said Spike.
"What would Fluttershy say?" asked Flare.
"Yeah you got a point there." said Spike. "So you know how we can get in this party?"
"You know my friend Doctor Whooves right?" asked Flare.
"Doctor Who?" asked Spike.
"Doctor Whooves." said Flare.
"I thought his name was Time Turner now?" said Spike looking confused.
"No, that's just his name to avoid copyrighted lawsuits." said Flare. "He's still Doctor Whooves to us!"
"What's he gonna do?" asked Spike.
"He's worked on a new invention and needs test subjects." said Flare. "He can use it to change somepony fully! Their gender, their age, their color, their eye color, even turning a unicorn into a pegasus!"
"So you think that Doctor Whooves can turn us into mares?" asked Spike.
"Yep yep yep!" said Flare.
"Why don't we just change our looks? Get some dresses, wigs, and makeup?" asked Spike.
"LOL Spike you're so silly you silly billy!" said Flare. "That never goes out well. They'll find out it's us and kick us out."
"I dunno, Flare." said Spike.
"C'mon, trust me brah!" said Flare. "Don't you want to go to that slumber party or not?"
Spike paused for a second and gave out a sigh. "Alright... let's do this!" he said.
"Darn right, son!" said Flare. Then they both gave a bro hoof, and went to Doctor Whoove's lab.
Flare and Spike explained to Doctor Whooves the slumber party, and what they need to be allowed to go inside.
"So let me get this straight." said Doctor. "You want me to turn you into mares, so you can go to a slumber party?"
"Do we have to repeat ourselves?" asked Spike.
"No need!" said Doctor. "I know just the proper machine to use to get you that new form you requested!" Doctor walks over to the other side of the room and pushes over a machine with buttons and a big laser cannon on top. "Here we are! The Former-Transformer 5000!"
"LOL! Catchy name! Because it rhymes." said Flare, elbowing Spike.
"Please step into the target one at a time, and we shall get started!" said Doctor.
"Did you test the device first?" asked Spike.
"Ah yes, you're right!" said Doctor. "We must test the device to make sure it's in working order! Flare, please place that cinder block over there on the target?" Flare finds a cinder block on a crate in the lab, and he places it on the target with his unicorn magic. "Thank you, good sir!"
"How's a cinder block going to help?" asked Spike.
"Like this!" said Doctor. He turns on his laser and it fires at the cinder block, and the cinder block turns pink. "It worked!" he cried.
"No it didn't." said Flare. "You just turned the cinder block pink, and real stallions wear pink!"
"Where did you get that from?" asked Spike.
"I have a T-Shirt that says that." said Flare.
"Hmm... it appears my fluids have runned down my body, and now I must dispose them properly." said Doctor.
"Say what now?" said Flare.
"I have to use the restroom." said Doctor. "Be right back! And don't touch anything!" He walks out of the room, leaving Spike and Flare alone in the room.
"Hmm... maybe I can see what the problem is." said Flare.
"Nevermind that, Flare. Doctor Whooves said not to touch anything." said Spike.
"Well I'm not gonna touch anything. I'm going to use my horn!" said Flare poking his horn. "There is a difference."
"Well alright then!" said Spike. Flare uses his horn to open the hatch of the transforming laser, and he looks inside. "Well here's the problemo! There's a paper clip is inside." Flare uses his magic to take out the paper clip.
"You think it's in there for a reason?" asked Spike.
Flare puts the paper clip in front of Spike and says in a different voice, "It looks like you're writing a letter!"
"I'm not writing a letter." said Spike.
"It looks like you're writing a letter." said Flare still holding the paper clip in front of Spike.
"I'm not writing a letter!" cried Spike.
"It looks like you're writing a letter." Flare repeated.
"I'M NOT WRITING A LETTER!" yelled Spike. Spike inhaled and exhaled real loud, and then everything paused for a second. After 30 seconds went by, Flare said it again.
"It looks like you're writing a..." Flare repeated.
"SHUT UP!" cried Spike
"LOLOLOLOLOL! You mad? You mad? You mad?" teased Flare.
Meanwhile at Twilight's house, Twilight and her friends were getting everything ready for the slumber party.
"Don't my cozy PJs look so fantastic?" asked Rarity, wearing her purple PJs full of crystals on them.
"You over use the crystals sometimes Rarity, you gotta slow down." said Rainbow Dash.
"I think it looks pretty! Look at that red one!" said Pinkie.
"Okay so what should we do first?" asked Fluttershy.
"I think we should do a MAKE-OVEEEEER!" said Rarity in her high voice.
"Always with the make overs." said AppleJack. "Ah think we should get some snacks. Ah sure am hungry."
"If it's okay... um... how about we just... watch the Animal channel?" asked Fluttershy.
"Or how about PILLOW FIGHT!?" cried Rainbow Dash hitting Fluttershy with a pillow.
"Eep! No, please!" said Fluttershy, cowarding on the floor.
"How about we dance?" asked Pinkie Pie turning on her portable sterio. "Karaoke! I'll sing, and you girls dance!" Pinkie starts singing. "My name is Pinkie, and..."
"No. Not yet." said AppleJack.
"You know what? We should all do something we all agree on!" said Twilight.
"Good idea Twilight! But... uhh... what will that be?" asked Rarity.
"That's what we should think about." said Twilight.
"I WANT TO DEFEAT THE GIANT MONKEY COLT AND SAVE THE NINTH DEMENTION!" cried Pinkie with a squee. Everypony just looked at her, confused.
"We could have an apple eatin contest." said AppleJack.
"How about we watch a scary movie?" asked Rainbow Dash in a creepy voice.
"NO!" cried Fluttershy. "Umm... I mean, please... how about a sweet gentle... nature movie?"
"How about we decorate the library?" asked Rarity.
"I dunno, Rarity. I kinda like the library the way it is." said Twilight. "Hmm..."
Meanwhile back at Doctor Whoove's lab, the Doctor just finished going to the bathroom, and he walks back to Flare and Spike.
"Thank you for waiting for me, gentlecolts!" said Doctor.
"We did not touch anything, kay? Kay." said Flare.
"Umm... okay." said Doctor. "If it worked on the cinder block, it's no doubt to work on you."
"I'm sure it'll be work perfectly, Doc!" said Flare.
"One of you please stand on the target?" asked Doctor. "We may begin."
"You first, brah!" Flare said to Spike.
"You must be joking." said Spike.
"Nope dot A-V-I." said Flare.
"Fine." said Spike. He walks over to the target and stands perfectly still. "This isn't gonna hurt is it?"
"Not at all!" said Doctor. "Well... I don't actually know."
"YOU DON'T KNOW?!" cried Spike. "I'm out!" But then a glass bubble closed on Spike, so he can't escape.
"Stand still now." said Doctor. He activated the machine, and let out an evil laugh.
"Wow, he is mad! Tongue face." said Flare. Doctor flipped the switch and the laser hit Spike, but with his armored scaley body, it bounced right off him and shot out the window.
"Wow, that didn't hurt!" cheered Spike. "Give me a mirror! Do I look beautiful?"
"You look the same." said Flare giving him a mirror.
"What? What happened Doc?" asked Spike.
"It appears your scaled body doesn't absorb the energy this laser has." said Doctor. "Like a mirror, it just bounced off your body and it just got shot out the window."
"That's not good!" said Flare. "It might turn somepony else into mares! Well, if they're not already mares."
"Well if my paper clip was removed from the device, then they would be doing into... something else." said Doctor.
"Say what now?" said Flare.
"I had a paper clip in this device. I found out that this device usually turns colt ponies into mares, without changing them too much." said Doctor. "If this paper clip was removed, then it might mess with the pony's brains or age."
"LOL yeah." said Flare.
Spike started to worry. "Wait, a sec Flare. Did you...?"
"Make lots of pizzas at my shop today?" Flare interupted. "Yes I did! Why wouldn't I? LOL Spike you're so silly you silly billy!"
"We have to see where that laser is heading!" said Doctor. Doctor and Flare started to run out of the lab, but Spike was still trapped in the glass.
"Uh hello, guys?" said Spike. Then Flare kicked the glass and it broke.
"Let's go!" said Flare.
Back at Twilight's library, the Mane 6 were still trying to decide what to do in their slumber party.
"Ooo! Ooo! Prank calling! That sounds like fun!" cried Pinkie.
"That'll put us into trouble." said Twilight. "How about..."
"How about we play tag?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Not enough space in the library." said Twilight.
"Such a childish game, tag." said Rarity. "How about we draw pictures?"
"Too borin." said AppleJack. "How about we make some apple pie?"
"Always with the food, AppleJack!" said Rarity.
"Always with the fashion, Rarity!" said AppleJack.
"Or... maybe... we could just... go to sleep now?" asked Fluttershy with a squee.
"We can read." said Twilight.
"Twilight you're such an egghead!" said Rainbow Dash.
"Oh I love eggs! Let's make eggs!" said Pinkie.
"Um... girls? Sorry to interupt, but there's a big green beam HEADING RIGHT FOR US!" cried Fluttershy.
"Oh that?" said Rainbow Dash. "Looks harmless! Besides, the worse it'll do is break a window. No harm done."
"Ah wouldn't say that, sugar cube." said AppleJack, holding Rarity in fear.
"What in Celestia's name...?" said Twilight, but her voice cut off after the laser hit the tree. The tree sparks with electric bolts, and starts shrinking.
Meanwhile, Spike, Flare, and Doctor Whooves were walking around town to see where the laser hit. They looked around and saw everything looking normal.
"You're in big trouble now, dude." Spike whispered to Flare.
"I didn't know what little paper clip can be that effective!" whispered Flare.
"The Doctor warned you, bro. He said don't touch anything." whispered Spike.
"I didn't! I used my horn's magic, remember?" said Flare.
"There's our target!" said Doctor pointing to Twilight's library.
"Twilight's house! It's gone!" cried Spike.
"Not just that, why are there foals on where her tree used to be?" asked Flare.
The three looked over and saw Twilight's house wasn't there, but saw six baby ponies crawling on the ground. The ponies looked alot like the Mane 6.
"Dude." said Spike. "I think we turned them into foals."
"But how?" said Doctor. "That paper clip was in there last I checked!"
Flare takes out the paper clip and shows Doctor it. "It looks like you're writing a letter. Lion face." said Flare in an embarrassed tone.
"FLARE!?" cried Doctor.
"Look I'm sorry!" cried Flare. "I didn't know one little paper clip could be so effective on a machine!"
"I told you not to touch anything!" Doctor yelled.
"I didn't! I used my horn magic!" cried Flare.
Doctor Whooves paused for a second, then gave himself a facehoof. "Okay. Okay. I'm sorry, I should've been more pacific."
Spike walks over to the baby Twilight and picks her up. "Twilight?" he said to her. The baby Twilight just burped and giggled. "Twilight do you remember me?" he asked her.
Then Twilight just her arms out and said, "Dada!"
"Yep. She lost her mind." said Spike.
"You think you can fix them, Doc?" asked Flare.
"I'll have to check on my device, and see if I can fix it. You two take care of the foals." said Doctor.
"Why do we have to take care of them?" asked Flare.
"This was your fault. It's your punishment." said Doctor.
"No way, broski!" said Flare shaking his head. "I have no experiene in taking care of a foal." Then the Fluttershy foal crawled up to Flare's leg and hugged it. Flare looked at Fluttershy and smiled. "You can never say no to Fluttershy. Alright I'll do it. But be quick, kay? Kay."
The Doctor ran back to his lab. Spike picked up the Rarity foal. "Awww! Look at Rarity, Flare!" he said. Spike started tickling Rarity, and she was laughing. "Rarity is so cute as a foal!" Rarity puts her arms out at Spike. "Aww, she wants a hug! You know Flare? This was actually a good idea!"
"Yeah maybe you're right!" said Flare. "Let's take them to my place!"
A baby owl and phoenix walk over to Spike. "It seems Owlowiscious is a baby too."
"What about PeeWee?" asked Flare.
"He was a baby." said Spike.
"We have to keep a close on Owlowiscious, dude." said Flare. "Baby owls can't take care of themselves."
Flare and Spike take the baby Mane 6 to Flare's place. Flare was making race car sounds as he was carrying Twilight, AppleJack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy in. Spike came in with Rarity on his shoulders.
"You know Spike, you could've helped me out." said Flare.
"I helped!" said Spike. "See? I'm carrying Rarity."
"What has AppleJack been eating? You know how heavy she is?" asked Flare.
"If a foal is heavy, that means you have to change a diaper." said Spike with a mischievious look on his face.
Flare sniffed AppleJack's diaper. "No, I think she just eats alot. Her diaper is fine."
"Where did the diapers come from anyway?" asked Spike.
"Maybe they were having a diaper slumber party and they were already wearing them! LOL!" teased Flare. "So Spike, while you watch them, I'll go get some baby stuff at the store."
"Me? Why don't I go get the stuff and you watch them?" asked Spike.
"Because I have money." said Flare.
"I have some money." said Spike.
"I have more money than you." said Flare.
"I can take care of these babies alone!" said Spike. "Rarity I'm okay with though."
"Alright, you go shopping then." said Flare. "I gotta get some food for AppleJack. She's teething on my ear."
"I'm taking Rarity with me." said Spike.
"Fine." said Flare. "Just go get the stuff. I'll take care of the babies, kay? Kay."
"Fine." said Spike. "Uh... may I borrow some money? I'll pay you back!"
"I thought you said you had money?" complained Flare.
"Yes I have SOME money, not THAT MUCH money." said Spike.
"Fine." said Flare, using his magic to remove the foals from his back. Flare goes into his vest pocket and takes out some bits. "Ten... twenty... thirdy... here's fifty bits." he said giving Spike the bits. "And here's a list of stuff you'll need to buy."
Spike took the list and read it. "Foal powder? Plugs? What are the plugs for?" asked Spike.
"To put in their mouths! Duh!" said Flare.
Spike paused for a second in confusion. "Oooookay." said Spike. Then he picks up Rarity and walks out. "C'mon Rarity."
"Alright everypony. Let's go in a circle and..." Flare stopped and saw all the babies were gone. "Aw c'mon! Already?" Flare sees Fluttershy on his leg. Fluttershy looks up and smiles at Flare. "D'awwww! That's a good Fluttershy. Stay on my leg so I can look for your friends." Flare sniffs smoke that came into his nose. "You smell something burning?" Flare's eye pupils shrunk and sweat started coming down his face. "THE KITCHEN!" Flare runs into the kitchen and sees AppleJack putting random kitchen props and food into the oven, stove, and microwave.
"AppleJack stop!" cried Flare. Flare turned off the microwave, the oven, and the stove, then put AppleJack on his back again. "No AppleJack! The kitchen is not a place for a foal." Flare runs around the house to find more foals. He finds Twilight lifting a weight with her magic.
"TWILIGHT!" cried Flare. Twilight uses her magic to put the weight over herself, but then Flare pushes Twilight out of the way and the weight falls on Flare's head. Stars started floating around Flare's head, then a bump popped up. "Yay! I saved Twilight's life! Happy face!" he said sounding dizzy. Flare shook his head real fast, and picked up Twilight. "The Excersie Room is not a place for babies either." Then Flare hears the sound of somepony flushing the toilet. "The bathroom!" he cried.
Meanwhile, at the super market, Spike was looking at baby food, with Rarity in the shopping cart. "Let's see, baby food." he said to himself. "Carrot, banana, apple, squash, spinach... yuck! What do you think Rarity?" Rarity was kicking and giggling. "Good idea! The apple can be for AppleJack. And I guess Rainbow Dash likes carrot. Oh, cake flavored! Pinkie would love that!" Rarity looks around the market, and finds a giant diamond up ahead. Rarity smiles as she looks at it. Rarity climbs out of the cart while Spike isn't looking, and crawls over to the diamond.
"Why does Flare want to give a baby some plugs?" Spike asked himself. "Putting plug outlets in baby's mouths? That's... shocking." Then Spike giggled to himself. "What do you think Rarity?" Spike looks inside the shopping cart, and sees Rarity is not there. "OH NO!" Spike started to get worried. "RARITY!? RARITY?! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
Meanwhile, back at the trailer, Flare runs into the bathroom, and sees the toilet flushed, with a diaper sticking out of the drain. "OH NO! I LOST ONE OF THE MANE SIX!" Flare started screaming, and running around the bathroom like crazy. Then Pinkie Pie hops on Flare's head from the ceiling.
"Oh good. You must have been the one in here Pinkie." said Flare. He takes Pinkie off his head and puts the diaper out of the toilet. "Hmm... this diaper is too wet. But I don't have any diapers. Spike's not back yet." Then Flare looks at the foals he collected. "Okay, we have Fluttershy, AppleJack, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Rarity's with Spike... Rainbow Dash!" he cried. Then he heard something break in the background. "Hang on Dashie, I'm coming!" Flare runs out of the room, but he comes back to take the babies with him, then he runs out again.
In Flare's bedroom, Rainbow Dash was flying all over the room. While she was flying around, knocking stuff over making a mess, the fish were watching.
"I didn't know Flare had kids." said Dorthey.
"Did he marry a pegasus?" asked Piddles.
"I didn't even know Flare was married." said Pearl.
"This foal sure looks fun!" said Darrel.
Then Rainbow Dash knocks over the fish tank and crash lands. From the other room, Flare could hear the clump. "THE FISHIES!" he cried. Flare runs into the bedroom and sees the fish tank knocked over, and Rainbow Dash is lying on the floor. "RAINBOW DASH! ANGRY FACE!" he cried.
"Wooo! That was fun!" cried Darrel.
"THAT WAS TENSE, DARREL!" cried Pearl.
"Oh Pearl, you need to loosen up." said Darrel. "You too Dorthey."
"At least we're safe." said Pearl.
"That little foal is nothing but trouble!" cried Rainbow (the fish).
Flare picks up the fish tank with his magic and puts it back in place. "Darrel? Pearlie? Rainbow? Dorthey? Yoyo? Piddles? You guys alright?" asked Flare.
Darrel was swimming around happy, Yoyo and Piddles were spinning around looking dizzy, Dorthey and Rainbow hid in one of the vases, and Piddles saw his reflection and started chasing it.
"You gonna feed us?" asked Yoyo. But of course, Flare doesn't understand what the fish are saying. Flare picks up all the foals, and places them in his Living Room.
"Okay, it looks like we have to set up some rules." said Flare. "First rule: Stay in my sight. Second rule: Stay out of the kitchen and the Excercise Room. Third rule: No flying around. Fourth rule: Play nice. Fifth rule: And this is the most important rule! Stay away from the fish tank! That was a naughty thing you did Rainbow Dash!"
Rainbow Dash passed gas, then giggled. "Poopie!" she said. Flare gave himself a facehoof. "Where is Spike with those supplies?" Twilight used her magic to pick up the coffee table. "NO Twilight! NO! No magic!" Then Twilight started to cry. Then everypony else started to cry as well. "NO, NO, NO!" Flare cried while pulling his hair. Flare started to have a nervous break down. "THAT'S IT! I can't do this alone! I need help!" Flare ran over to his phone, and dialed a number. "Hello? Engine? Yeah, hi it's Flare! Sup brah? Hey listen, uhhhh... I need your help."
Meanwhile at the super market, Spike was looking all around the store for Rarity. "RARITY?! WHERE ARE YOU?!" he cried. Rarity climbed up the shelves and made her way to the diamond. The diamond was nothing but a cardboard, so Rarity kicked it down, and crawled around the top of the shelves some more.
"Excuse me? Have you seen a little white foal around? Purple mane?" Spike asked one of the employees.
"No I haven't." he said. Then Spike heard giggles from the top of the shelves. Spike looked up and saw Rarity crawling around.
"RARITY! Come right down here this instant!" Spike ordered her. Rarity stuck out her tongue at Spike and kept on crawling. "RARITY, if you don't come down here, you'll be in big trouble young filly!" he said. "Rarity, I'm gonna count to three, and you better be down here! One... two... three..." Then Rarity threw a cereal box at Spike, then giggled. Spike let out a huge sigh. "Okay Rarity, I guess we're going to have to do this the hard way!"
Back at the trailer, some of Flare's friends came to help him out. Red Engineer, Crystal Iceblast, Blaze Goldheart, Psyche, and Aquatic Armor. Psyche is a purple pegasus pony that's friendly but has an attitude. Aquatic Armor was a brown pony with blue and green mane, and also wore blue armor around him.
"Good evening! Since you five are my closest friends, I asked for your help tonight to help me out." said Flare.
"Not to worry Flare! We are always around to help a friend out." said Psyche with a wink.
"What do ya need, partner?" asked Engineer.
"Will this be easy?" asked Crystal.
"You tell me, Crystal." said Flare, as he opens the living room door, revealing Rainbow Dash flying around, Twilight using her magic, AppleJack eating the furniture, Pinkie Pie jumping on the couch, and Fluttershy hiding under the coffee table.
"Pinkie is on my spot. Somepony tell Pinkie to get out my spot!" Flare panicked.
"What's going on here?" asked Blaze.
"Blaze, your wife has been tired into a foal." said Flare. Then he covered his mouth. "Oh right... I shouldn've said it. I forgot."
"Nah, we weren't actually married in secret, dude." said Blaze. "I just wanted to see if I can trust you."
"Oh, okay." said Flare.
"Is that Pinkie Pie over there?" asked Psyche.
"That's right, Psyche!" said Flare.
"But dude, I study Psychics and Astronomy, I'm not a baby sitter." said Psyche.
"But brah, you said you and Pinkie were close friends! BFFs! What would she do if you were turned into a foal?" asked Flare.
Psyche let out a loud sigh. "Alright I'll do it, but I might need help."
"Aquatic Armor, did you bring those diapers?" asked Flare.
"Sure did!" said Aqua.
"Engineer did you bring your guitar?" asked Flare.
"Sure did partner!" said Engineer, holding his guitar.
"You with us too Crystal?" asked Flare.
"Sure am, Flare!" said Crystal.
"Excellent!" said Flare. "Let us begin!"
"Wait, where's Rarity?" asked Crystal.
"She's with Spike. Spike wanted to take her along to get baby supplies." said Flare.
"Do you trust him enough to do that?" asked Blaze.
"Of course!" said Flare. "Alright little angels! I found some help! So let's have some fun with your good friends Flare, Crystal, Engie, Psyche, Aquatic Armor, and Blaze!" All the foals started crying at the same time again.
"What did you do?" asked Aqua.
"I-D-K." said Flare.
"We have to get them to stop crying!" said Crystal.
"Well, duh!" said Flare.
"What do you guys think will cheer them up?" asked Psyche.
"Ah know. Maybe a nice smooth country song will put them to sleep." said Engineer. He sits on the couch with his guitar. "Pardon me young foals. Ah would look to sing ya'll a smooth song. It'll wipe those tears right away." Engineer clears his throat, and plays 'All My Ex's Live In Texas' by George Strait on his guitar, then Engineer starts singing the song.
"All my ex's live in Pexas. And Pexas is a place I'd dearly love to be. But all my ex's live in Pexas. And that's why I hang my hat, in Fillisee. Rose Luck's down in Pexarkana wanted me to push her broom. Sweet Lileen's on Avalene she forgot I hung the moon. And Sunnison in Hoofeston somehow lost her sanity. And Kissimple's who lives in Temple's got the law looking for me."
While Engineer was singing the song, the foals started to calm down, and the others were listening. Crystal was swinging back and fourth to the song. She put her hoof on Blaze's head and moves it back and fourth. Then Blaze just gave a glare.
"Cause all my ex's live in Pexas. And Pexas is a place I'd dearly love to be. But all my ex's live in Pexas. And that's why I hang my hat, in Fillisee. I remember that old Filly River where I learned to swim. But it brings to mind another time where I wore my welcome thin. By transcendental meditation I go there each night. But I always come back to myself long before daylight!"
While Engineer was singing, it shows flashbacks of Engineer learning to swim and meditating, and hanging with his ex's and everything. And when the flashback ended, the foals were feeling tired and falling asleep.
"But all my ex's live in Pexas. And Pexas is a place I'd dearly love to be. But all my ex's live in Pexas. And that's why I hang my hat, in Fillisee. Some folks think I'm hidin', it's been rumored that I died." Then Engineer shouted. "BUT I'M ALIVE AND WELL IN FILLISEE!" Then Engineer slammed his guitar on the ground and shouted. "YEEEEEAAAAAAH!" Then the foals started crying again, except for Rainbow Dash, who is cheering.
"Well Engineer, it helped, but the screaming and breaking your guitar in the end was completely unnecessary." said Psyche.
"You think you can do better, Psyche?" asked Engineer.
"Well I don't know how to play the guitar, but I know how to please a filly!" said Psyche
"But Psyche, those are foal fillies." said Crystal.
"Foal filly, full-grown filly, I know how to please a filly." said Psyche. Psyche walked to the foals with a cool smile. Then throws a bag of bits in front of them. "No filly can resist a good amount of money."
Rainbow Dash looked at the bag of bits then threw it at Psyche, and started crying again.
"I don't understand. It always works!" said Psyche. AppleJack takes one of the bits and teeths on it. "Well it worked on one of them."
"You idiot! Foals don't know anything about money!" said Blaze. "What they need Psyche, is something to make them smile!"
"You think I know what foals like, Blaze?" asked Psyche. "I never took care of one before."
"I'm going to have a daughter soon, I know what to do." said Blaze.
"Wait, you're having a daughter, Blaze?" asked Aqua.
"That's right, Aqua!" said Blaze.
"At first I thought Rainbow Dash was eating too much." said Crystal.
"AppleJack seemed heavier when I was carrying them inside." said Flare.
Blaze puts a clown nose on his nose. "Hey kids! It's Goldheart the clown! Wanna see me make a balloon animal?" Blaze takes an unblown balloon, and blows it up. "Ta da! It's an earth worm!"
Pinkie Pie was happy and bouncing, but the other foals were crying still.
"I was only able to make Pinkie happy." said Blaze.
"Here I'll show you how it's done." said Crystal.
"You know what to do, right Crystal?" asked Aqua.
"Of course I do, Aqua!" said Crystal. "I'm a pro on the little ones! I'll be right back!" Crystal runs out of the room. The foals are still crying, and the others look at eachother. Crystal comes back with a bunny suit. All the foals still cry, except for Fluttershy. Fluttershy crawls over to the bunny and hugs it. "It seems I only made Fluttershy happy." she said.
"Step aside Crystal!" said Aqua. "What they need is a little magic!" Aqua's horn glows, then he lifts the couch up and gently rocks it back and fourth. The foals still cry, but Twilight seems to be enjoying it. "It's only Twilight that's admiring my work." Aqua dropped the couch hard on the floor, and he screamed in anger.
"Calm down, Aqua." said Engineer. "It seems each of us are only making one foal happy."
"You're right, Engie." said Blaze. "What if we took each foal, and took care of it on our own?"
"Good idea, dude!" said Crystal. "I guess I'll take Fluttershy."
"I'll take AppleJack." said Psyche.
"I'll take Pinkie." said Blaze.
"And I'll take Twilight." said Aqua.
"But what about you Flare?" asked Psyche.
"Maybe if one of you takes a break, I'll take over." said Flare. "Maybe I'll get the bath ready for them. Winkey face."
Back at the super market, Spike was still trying to get Rarity down from the top of the shelves. "Alright Rarity, I'm coming up!" he said, climbing the shelf. "I'm almost there!" Spike climbs the shelf, then eventually he makes it to the top. "Woo! I did it!" he cried. Rarity waves to Spike from another shelf. "WHAT?!" he cried. "How did you... nevermind. I can jump this." Spike runs back, and in super slow-mo, Spike jumps the shelf and as it looks like he'll make it, he falls down. Rarity laughs at Spike. Spike gets real angry. Steam gets blown out of his ears. "THAT'S IT!" he yelled. Spike pushes the shelf Rarity's on over, then the shelf topples on another shelf, and another shelf, and another shelf, like dominos. Spike gets really embarrassed, and shocked that he just did that. "RARITY!" he yelled. He runs over to the end of the shelves where he sees a hoof not moving. "Oh no!" he said. Spike starts tearing up. "I'm sorry, Rarity! I am so sorry! I don't know what gone into me!" Spike started crying while holding the little hoof. Then Rarity pops up on Spike's back and cuddles his head. "Hi Rarity." he said sadly, wipping a tear. Then he paused and smiled big. "RARITY!" Spike hugged the foal. "I am so sorry! I promise I won't do anything like that ever again!"
The store manager appears behins Spike and clears his throat. "You do realize, you're going to have to pay for this right?"
Spike gets embarrassed. "Oh look, a changeling!" Spike cried, pointing to the back of the store.
The store manager turns his head. "WHERE?!" Spike takes Rarity and runs out of the store.
Spike runs back to Flare's trailer and runs inside with Rarity. "Flare? Flare? Where are you?" he said.
"We're in here, brah!" Flare yelled from the Living Room. Spike runs inside and sees everypony entertaining each foal.
"Welcome Spike!" said Crystal.
"Ya'll just in time too!" said Engineer.
"What's going on?" asked Spike.
"We're taking care of the foals Spike! What else?" said Blaze.
"You had fun with the foals without me?" asked Spike.
"You mad bro?" said Flare. "How was your time at the store?"
"Uhh... fine. Just great!" said Spike with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Join us, Spike!" said Aqua.
"C'mon Rarity, let's have fun!" said Spike. He runs inside the Living Room, and they all play with the foals. Later on, each of them put the foals to sleep in Flare's guest bedroom.
"Aww! They look like angels when they sleep!" said Crystal.
Each of them smiled at the foals, and they walked out of the room. The seven of them walked to Flare's bedroom. Flare feeds his fish.
"AAH! Dorthey!" cried Flare.
"What happened, dude?" asked Psyche.
"Dorthey splashed me again!" said Flare.
"Ya always get splashed by that fish." said Engineer. "Ah gotta say, ya'll fish are somethin."
"I agree." said Blaze. "You know, that was actually fun! Having the Elements of Harmony as foals, and us taking care of them, was really fun! We should do this again!"
"We make a pretty great team, the six of us!" said Aqua.
"Yeah, Aqua." said Psyche. "We should like, totally have our own group!"
"Since Twilight, AppleJack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity's group is called the Mane Six, what should we call our group?" asked Crystal.
"The Secondary Six!" cried Engineer.
"No." said Blaze. "Derpy, Bon Bon, Lyra, Vinyl Scratch, Octavia, and the Doctor are already called the Secondary Six."
"How about the Epic Six?" asked Aqua.
"The Ownage Six?" asked Psyche.
"The Blaze Six?" asked Blaze.
"The Sixty Six?" asked Crystal.
Everypony thought it over. "I KNOW!" cried Flare. "I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW!"
"We're all ears, Flare!" said Psyche.
"Oh really? I didn't know you guys were corn! TROLOLOLOLOLOLO!" teased Flare.
"Yeah, ha ha, very funny." said Crystal. "Serious, spit it out."
"NOT, really." said Blaze.
"Buzzkill, brah." said Flare. "I think we should call this group... the Noble Six!"
"Like the protagonist on Halo: Reach?" asked Psyche.
"You guessed it, buddy!" said Flare.
"Sweet name, Flare." said Aqua. "But what's this group about?"
Flare looks at the fish. "What if I told you guys, by song?" asked Flare.
"Oh here we go with the singing!" said Spike. The six of them sang a remix of the Crystal Fair Song that's going to be on MLP: Season 3.
"If the Mane Six isn't around, you know what we can do? If they get captured or if unavailable, then we can take over too. We can be the very best, like nopony ever was. But this isn't Pokemon, we are this because!" sang Flare.
"We will upgrade to level three." sang Engineer.
"While the Mane Six are unavailable to be the key." sang Crystal.
"We can blast off to the moon." sang Psyche.
"Be faster than a rocket on a raccoon." sang Blaze.
"Oh we can spread the love, and can even spread the lulz. We can even be as huge as a Royal Celestia cruise." they all sang.
"We can have water by our side... and even teach ourselves to fly." sang Aqua.
"Some of us do." said Blaze.
"And maybe we can even beat... their enemies at Halo: Reach!" sang Flare.
"Who else is there to go, when the Mane Six don't have hope. We may not be noticed. But we are the Noble Six!" they all sang, concluding the song.
"Wow..." said Aqua.
"Possum grade awesome song, Aqua?" asked Flare.
"Not that." said Aqua. "I never sang songs like these before, and it sounds childish."
"Welcome to Equestria, partner!" said Engineer. "Everypony sings at random times."
"Yeah, what's with that?" asked Crystal. "Wait, we just sang at a random time?"
"Yes we did!" said Psyche. "Looks like we're on our way to the top!"
"This is going to be the beginning of a leet heroic relationship!" said Flare.
"But we never saved Equestria before. We're just regular citizens of Ponyville." said Crystal.
"For now we are. But soon, maybe we shall rise!" said Flare. Then Flare's phone starts ringing. Flare heads over to the phone and picks it up. "Hello this is Burger King, may I take your order?" said Flare.
"My dear Flare?" said Doctor. "The device is ready! It's time to turn the Mane Six back to their ordinary adult selves."
"That's great! Want fries with that? LOL!" teased Flare.
"Yeah very cute." said Doctor. "I'll be waiting."
Flare, Spike, Blaze, Engineer, Crystal, Psyche, and Aqua all walk to Doctor Whoove's lab and brings him the Mane Six who are still foals.
"Ah good! At least you finally did something right, Mr. Gun." said Doctor.
"Thanks! Happy face!" said Flare.
"He meant that like you mess up every other time." said Psyche.
"So does your face." said Flare. Doctor flips the switch and the laser fires at the Mane Six, and they all turn back into adults.
"What? What happened?" said Twilight.
"Why do I smell like fish?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"And why do I have the feeling that I'm afraid of clowns?" asked Fluttershy.
"I smell like toilet!" said Pinkie happily.
The Noble Six, Doctor, and Spike cheers.
"What are ya'll cheering about?" asked AppleJack.
"It's a long story." said Psyche.
Spike runs up and hugs Rarity. "Rarity, I think it's best that you stay adult."
"What are you talking about, Spikey?" asked Rarity.
Suddenly, the doorbell rings. "Can somepony go get that for me?" asked Doctor, looking into his device.
"I'll get it." said Twilight. Twilight walks over to the door, and opens it. It reveals the store manager.
"Are you Twilight Sparkle?" asked the Manager.
"Yes." said Twilight.
The manager gives Twilight a bill. "A bill for the damage to my store. You should leave the foalsitting, and shopping to somepony other than a dragon."
"SPIKE?!" yelled Twilight angerly.
"Well all's well that ends well, huh?" asked Engineer.
"And speaking of ending well." said Flare as he takes out a notepad and pen. "Dear Princess Luna, I thought I messed up big time when I messed with Doctor Whoove's machine. I had to do foalsitting because of it. But you should learn from your mistakes, so you don't do it again, and accept your punishment. Also your buddies are always by your side no matter what. Oh, and..." Flare stops writing.
"Oh for Wizard of Hope's sake!" said Flare. "I ran out of paper! Angry face."
"It looks like you're writing a letter!" said Spike holding a paper clip to Flare's face.
"Twilight gonna spank you and take away your video game time? ROFL!" teased Flare.
"No." said Spike. "Hey, don't you get the feeling that you're forgetting something?"
"I wish you didn't have to say that." said Flare.
Owlowiscious and PeeWee were still at Twilight's Library, but Owlowiscious was still a baby owl and the tree still was a baby plant.
