Chapter 4: Taking Care Of Themselves (Literally) Part 2

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Author's Notes:

Once again, I apologize for the delay.

You see, I had recently discovered Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies had been released onto the IPad. And since I was interested in getting Dual Destinies, I decided to buy it and spend the 11 pounds to unlock the 4 other (5 hour or so) murder cases.

And in the time I've spent on Dual Destinies, I've dealt with a courtroom bombing incident, a made up mythical murderer monster case, and a murder at a law school. Seems like every Phoenix Wright case involves murder.

But still, I decided to put case number 4 on hold, and return with another chapter, I hope you enjoy it.

Fluttershy flew into her cottage at a gentle pace, so that Shy Hearted could keep her balance. Once Fluttershy gently landed on the carpet, she shut the door behind her gently, so that none of her animals could get out and run amok in Ponyville, sure she could trust her animals well, but she wanted to make sure.

Shy Hearted looked at each animal with a curious look on her face, she tugged at Fluttershy's mane a few times to grab her attention and then pointed at the animal she was interested in. Every time she did, Fluttershy told her about the animal, and how to properly care for it.

"Well, it's good to know you like animals so much, Shy." She smiled and looked back at her foal before looking back forward once more. "But I think that's enough animal knowledge for one day."

"Oh, and this here is my pet. Angel, could you come up here and meet my new foal?" She asked the rabbit, who merely looked up at her and turned his back. "Sorry, he can be stubborn at times."

"No wowwies." Shy Hearted smiled as she jumped down to greet Angel Bunny. Fluttershy on the other hand was amazed at the revelation her foal could talk, she thought that she had a talented young foal for a few seconds, but then her thoughts were confirmed with the next statement.

"Hewwo, Angew. I'm Shy Heawted." She stroked Angel's fur, causing him to turn and look at the foal who was caressing him, he was then surprised when he saw the foal in spandex looking at him with a trusting gaze. "Yoo wanna be fwiends?" She reached a hoof out to him.

Fluttershy looked closely at the two of them and expected Angel to remain strong, but to her surprise, she discovered that Angel had taken a shine to Shy Hearted, as she shook Shy Hearted's hoof in welcome. Angel had never acted that nice to strangers before, Fluttershy had to think about whether her foal could talk to animals as well.

"Yoo see? He's not so tough, he just wanted ta make a fwiend." She smiled as she turned back to Fluttershy, who was left with a stunned expression. "Uh, mama, awe yoo otay?" Shy Hearted tilted her head in confusion.

"Huh, oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking." Fluttershy said as she finally broke out of her trance and addressed Shy Hearted. "Nothing for you to worry about."

"Otay." She smiled as Fluttershy lifted her back up onto her back, making a tiny little giggle once she was sat back down.

"Do you want to see your room, Shy Hearted?" Fluttershy asked, a calm and friendly tone being directed towards the foal on her back.

"Yes pwease, mama." She cooed as Fluttershy and her looked into each other's eyes with that look once more.

"Alright then, let's get my sweet little foal a nice place to stay." Fluttershy walked up the stairs and through the corridor at the top of them. She walked slightly past her bedroom to another door that was right next to it.

Once she opened the door, Shy Hearted was welcomed with a sight that would please any curious foal. There was a nursery all set up with a padded floor and painted wall. The wall was painted as a flowery landscape with rolling winds, smiling critters, and a cloudy sky.

The room itself was geared towards a foal's needs in every way. There were blocks, crayons and paper for Shy Hearted to indulge in her creative side, plush animals if she wanted to practice caring for animals, and even a feeding area, in case she got hungry and/or thirsty.

Room aside, the more important things were there as well. The crib was right underneath a small window and a changing table was right next to it. The final noticeable object, was a nearby chest filled with dress-up costumes, in case Shy Hearted got bored of wearing her Power Pony suit.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, not so fast there, little one." Fluttershy caught Shy Hearted as she attempted to jump off of her. "Before we get started in your playtime, the first thing we need to do, is to get a diaper fitted around you." She explained to Shy in a very calming and understanding way. "We don't want my little me to have an accident now, do we?

"No, mama." Shy shook her head slowly as she came to terms with Fluttershy's logic.

"Very good, my dear." Fluttershy congratulated her smart little foal by kissing her on the forehead, an action which caused Shy to blush a little before laughing like a foal would. "Now come on, let's give you something snuggly."

Fluttershy placed Shy down onto the table, then took the liberty of stripping her of her Power Pony suit. She put it in a tiny little hamper that was behind the chest, marked "Laundry" before returning to Shy, who was using her hooves to cover up her nudity.

Fluttershy merely smiled and opened up a drawer beneath the table itself. She felt each of the diapers carefully, before she felt the one she was looking for. Once she was satisfied with her choice, she took the diaper out of the drawer and closed it up, before acquiring a bottle of foal powder from the drawer next to it.

Once she had amassed both the objects she needed, she proceeded with the procedure for diapering a foal. As she began, she couldn't help but explain why she had longed for a foal of her own.

"You see, I've always wanted to have the opportunity for caring for a foal, ever since I discovered my destiny as the Spirit of Kindness." Fluttershy explained as she powdered the diaper and placed Shy's flank onto it. "But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't sum up enough courage to start a relationship, or consider adoption. That's one of my weaknesses, I admit. But I'm actually quite proud of it."

"Why's dat, mama?" Shy asked as Fluttershy began to make the ends of the diaper meet together.

"Being shy means that I can avoid any potential conflict, for fear I might say something to offend somepony." Fluttershy said as she finally tightened the straps around the sides of the diaper and sat Shy back up. "A power in weakness, is a power to avoid pain."

"Oh, am I done already?" Fluttershy had almost forgotten that she had been diapering Shy during her explanation. "Well, I guess the only thing left to do is to let you play for a while."

"Weawwy, yoo mean it?" Shy asked with an excited tone this time. A foal's mind was something that jumped from one thing to another, if pushed in the right ways.

"Sure, and if you get confused, hurt, hungry, or wet, I'll be here to help you out, every step of the way." Fluttershy smiled as she looked down at her foal, who looked right back up at her with a happy smile.

"Yay! Pwaytime!" Shy moved as fast as she could over to the plush animals first. She sat down on her rump and started to engage in foalish conversations to the inanimate objects, this could only make Fluttershy smile a smile of pride, knowing that her own foal took after her. Once she saw Shy hugging the plush animals, she was set. Fluttershy was going to keep Shy Hearted with her, forever.


Rainbow Dash looked flustered as she arrived back at her house. The shock of having to care for a foal, with the hardened routine she had been given was going to be a living nightmare for her. And to make matters worse for her, she had to write about her foal's well being.

"You know, something tells me Twilight is giving me this foal me to teach me a lesson." Dash said as she decided to put the pieces of a mental puzzle together in her head. "Then again, I have been over-pushing my limits recently."

The foal merely looked at Rainbow Dash with a bored expression, and then sparked an idea. Remembering she had her pendant, Gale lifted it up with her teeth and spawned a miniature cloud above Dash's head with it. Then she held on tight for the incoming reaction.

"Yeeeoowwwch!" Dash yelled out at the lightning bolt struck her, causing her to dash forward at insane speeds and crash into the stairs. She rubbed her face in pain before looking back behind her. "Strange, I don't remember these clouds storing lightning in them..."

Then Gale did it again, as her smile was showing. This time, she called forth another bolt, this time striking one of Dash's flanks. Dash once more bolted forward in pain, only this time she managed to slow down before she hit another part of the house, so that it didn't hurt as much.

Then, for the coup de grace, Gale called in a mini snowstorm onto Dash's face, giving her a snow goatee and mustache. Dash shivered as she felt her face and felt traces of snow, she flew over to the mirror and saw her face was snow-gripped, courtesy of the laughing Gale on her back.

"Wait a minute, that was you?" Dash looked a little shocked as she finally put two and two together and remembered only one pony capable of conjuring up weather like magic. "YOU did this?"

"Was dat wong?" Gale asked, looking a little worried as Dash eyed down the culprit. Once more, there was a shocked reaction coming from the parent. Dash had a talking foal with her, one who could understand her perfectly, and one who didn't just speak in babbles.

"Wait, you can talk?" Dash looked even more stunned now, at the second realization, rather than the first.

"Yes, and dat wightning and snow, dat was me as weww." Gale confessed, looking guilty for a moment, waiting for Rainbow Dash to hand down judgement.

"Well, that's just..." Rainbow Dash held the last word, to give Gale a feeling of tensity as she awaited the answer. "Awesome!"

"I'm sowwy, mama. I pwomise-" Gale was talking guiltily until she realized that Dash was complimenting her. "Wait, wat did yoo say?"

"I said, awesome, kid." Dash looked a lot more calm now and was actually looking at Gale with a smile growing. "You've got that spunky attitude on you, I can sense it."

"You know, you remind me of that Scootaloo kid down in Ponyville." Rainbow Dash smiled as she flew up the stairs slowly, so that Gale could hang on. "You're both eager for a bit of excitement."

"Yoo weawwy mean it?" Gale asked as they flew down a cloudy corridor.

"Absolutely." Rainbow Dash stopped at a door at the end of the cloud corridor. "It makes caring for a foal much easier, if that foal takes on my style of unfazed awesome." Dash said with a smug smile showing. "Trust me, Gale. When you'll grow up, you'll not only make a great addition to the Weather Team, but a great addtion to the Wonderbolts as well."

"Heh, I always knew this room would come in handy one day." She said as she flew into the new room and placed Gale down on the padded surface.

Dash had been keeping a nursery to herself all this time, waiting until she had a foal of her own. She always thought she'd have a child from a love relationship, but Twilight and Spike discovering foalized Power Ponies had pushed her plans ahead a little bit.

The room itself was fitted fro everything a foal could want, the toys and activities around the floor were just one example of this room's functions. The walls,ceiling and even the floor had also had a nice paint job. The walls were painted as a cloudy sky, the ceiling light was made to look like a shining sun, and the floor looked like a bird's eye view of a town below.

This was all one big soothing illusion, to make Gale believe that she was flying majestically through the sky like her carer, Rainbow Dash. If that wasn't enough, the crib was modeled to look like it was made out of clouds, when if you touched it, you could feel plastic.

"I wanted to give my foal or foals the idea that they were flying, even though their wings wouldn't let them fly for real." Dash explained to Gale before she got moving. "Pretty cool huh?"

"Hehe, wook, mama, I'm fwying!" Gale was definitely buying the illusion of the colours and pictures. She was one happy little kid and Dash could tell.

"Alright, kiddo. Let's make a brief landing for a second." Dash picked Gale up in her muzzle and flew her over to a nearby changing table, with a padded changing top which looked and felt an awful lot like a cloud. "We've gotta make sure you don't have an accident over the ponies below us."

"Hehe, otay." Gale cooperated and flopped back onto the cloud-like padding, waiting for Dash to proceed with the changing method. "I dun wanna wuin somepony's day by pooping on dem."

Dash chuckled a little as she pulled out a soft cloth diaper and some foal powder from a drawer. Once she was happy with the choice that she made, she looked back up at Gale, set the diaper and cloth next to her and began.

Dash had seen Pinkie doing this kind of thing to the Cake Twins, so she had picked up a few tips and tricks along the way. First, Dash removed the Power Pony costume that Gale was wearing, then Dash pulled Gale's flank up and pulled a very nifty maneuver of powdering a diaper as it went under Gale's flank.

Gale giggled at Dash's techincal moves and had a smile that was begging to see more.

"Oh, ya wanna see more huh?" Dash said with that smug smile once more returning to her face. "Check this out."

Dash tossed Gale into the air, over a crash man, so that if Dash didn't pull this trick in time, it wouldn't hurt Gale much. Dash hastily made the ends of the diaper meet and opened the diaper up in a bowl fashion, ready to catch Gale. To Dash's and Gale's surprise, Gale landed in the powdered diaper, with her legs just hanging there in midair.

"There we go, I call it the Changing Chuck!" Dash said, grinning at the clever name for her new trick. Gale had caught wind of Dash's clever name, and was giggling quite happily at the outcome. "Glad ya liked it, Gale. I can tell that you and I are gonna be the best, if not, the most perfect mother and foal combo in all of Cloudsdale."

"Hehe, I suwe hope so." Gale smiled, looking up at her mother with a knowing and compassionate look.

"Alright then, kiddo. Whaddaya want to do first?" Dash picked Gale up and had her eyeing the many different activities and things to do whilst she was here.

"Ooh, actuawwy, dis fwying ting is pwetty fun." Gale said as Dash opened her wings and took the two of them airborne, even if it was a few feet off the ground, Gale still believed she was flying. "Mama, can yoo fwy me awound fow a wittwe bit?"

"Heh, sure thing." Dash said, remembering that she said that to her mother as well, at least that's what Dash's mom remembered. "So how do ya wanna do it? Riding my back, or flying straight from the pony's mouth?"

"Mouth! Mouth!" Gale said, chipper as always "I wanna fwy wid noting ta howd onto!" Gale looked very excited now, she was determined to imagine flying like a real pegasus, and Dash was giving her that opportunity.

"Alright then." Dash put Gale in her mouth and began to maneuver around the room. Gale felt herself flying, as if a dream of hers was coming to reality. "It's gonna get a bit dicey as we go along, so brace yourself, alright?"

"Otay." Gale was ready, so ready in fact, that she lowered her eyebrows in determination as Dash picked up the pace a little.

The sudden change in maneuverability was a welcome sight for Gale, she let herself get thrown around in Dash's muzzle as Dash began pulling nifty aerial rolls and loops. All of these didn't faze Gale in anyway whatsoever, and she was happy to live her life on the edge of danger.

Dash had to give credit where credit was due, Gale was a perfect copy of her personality. Besides the whole foalish nature of Gale, Dash was convinced that Gale was a copy of her. She smiled as she dived down to the padding and pulled back up, to give Gale a sense of sudden climbs. Dash had initially thought raising a foal would be an arduous task, but with Gale, she thought wrong. Dash was going to love taking care of her foal, very much.


"Thank you for this meal, Borealis." Twilight complimented her chef as she got to her hooves and begaan to feed Aurora. "It truly was another divine meal from a divine chef."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The chef bowed before returning to his kitchen to congregate with his other cooks and chefs.

"Mmm, Twilight, I gotta hand it too ya. This Marelaysian Mirepoix is simply to die for." Hair Raiser complimented as she swallowed her latest bite and looked up to speak with her new mother. "And here I thought fancy food wasn't a good idea."

"Yeah." Spike said, gnawing at his meal, chewing it nicely and then swallowing it. A look of satisfaction washed over him once the meal hit his stomach. "Twilight's always got meals to die for. It's been that way ever since she got this castle."

"Speaking of which, how DID you get this castle?" Hair Raiser decided to ask.

"Well, It's a long story, but I think I can put it in terms that anyone could understand." Once she had finished feeding Aurora, Twilight gathered her and Hair Raiser close to her and began to tell them the story on how she slayed Tirek. "Once upon a time, there was a princess named Twilight, and a centaur named Tirek..."


"And we all lived happily ever after. The end." Twilight ended the story, being completely sure she had told Hair Raiser and Aurora everything. She hadn't noticed it straight away, but Aurora had fallen asleep whilst Twilight had told the story. "Huh, I guess my foal me had confused this tale for a bedtime story. An easy mistake, all foals do that. No biggie."

"Wooooowww." Hair Raiser held it for added amazement. "So, you used to live in a library before you slayed Tirek?"

"Yes, but sadly that was stripped from me during our conflict." Twilight said, tears showing up in her eyes, after remembering that horrible, grizzled image of the torched Golden Oaks Library. She remembered that horrifying picture that had been forever burned into her mind, courtesy of Tirek.

"Is something wrong?" Hair Raiser asked Twilight, now noticing the tears in her eyes.

"Twilight was very emotionally attached to that library." Spike said, himself looking distraught at the loss of the tree. "Ever since Princess Celestia sent her to Ponyville to study the Magic of Friendship, she'd been living every day of her life in that tree."

"Oh, I can see that now." Hair Raiser decided to comfort Twilight, now that she had been showing those tears. "I know, I know. It isn't fair to lose a home, not to a centaur, not to some powerful magic, not even to coincidence."

"Sorry, I've been dwelling on the past for too long." Twilight said, finally returning to her normal emotions. She looked back at Aurora and remembered that Aurora needed some, compassion, a room of her own, and some love. "Let's give Aurora a nice fluffy crib to rest her head."

"Good idea." Hair Raiser said as she and Spike hopped down from their chairs and followed Twilight down some more corridors. "The first thing a sleeping foal wants is some comfort."

The group passed some more doors on their trek down the corridor, some of them had windows next to them, so that you could see what was inside the room. One door led out to a nice balcony for Twilight to address her kingdom when she felt like it, and there were many other doors, leading into many other rooms.

"Here we are." Twilight stopped at a door and cast a powerful spell on the frame. The frame was enveloped in a white light, before the door it was holding followed suit and turned shiny white as well. "That should fit the needs of our children."

Twilight opened the doors to the room inside. For a room being shared by two children, it was pretty expansive, almost to the point where it was ridiculous. The walls were pretty far away from each other, so that both Aurora and Hair Raiser had plenty of room to run around in.

The floor was so large, it had to be split into two equal halves. one half being foalish and catered towards Aurora, and the other half more catered to a filly of Hair Raiser's age. Aurora's side had foal toys, a changing table and crib, and Hair Raiser's side had a 4-poster bed with curtains, a dressing table, and many other things to make an elementary schoolpony feel happy with their room.

"First of all, I want to make sure that Aurora doesn't have an accident while she's asleep." Twilight took the still sleeping Aurora over to the changing table and laid her down. "Hair Raiser, could you give me a hand with this?"

"Okay, mom. I'll do the best I can." Hair Raiser smiled as she remembered her powerful hair and its' capabilities.

The two ponies were in sync with one another. Twilight was undressing Aurora, and Hair Raiser was powdering a cloth diaper. The two also worked in sync with the changing part, Twilight set Aurora down onto the powdered padding, and Hair Raiser tied the diaper around Aurora's flank.

"There we go. Perfectly snuggly for a delicate foal such as yourself." Twilight said as she took Aurora in her magic and placed her down in the crib. Whilst Twilight was tucking Aurora in, Hair Raiser decided to give her a little sleeping aid by putting a pacifier in her mouth, giving her a nice teddy bear to cuddle, and placing a rattle in her other hoof.

Aurora's grip tightened on the teddy bear, and she gently shook the rattle in her sleep, all the while, she was continually suckling on the bouncy plastic tip of the pacifier. She was in a state of utter sleep, almost to the point where she'd never want to wake up.

"Sweet Dreams, Aurora." Twilight cast a spell on Aurora's horn, a spell which would project happy dreams and eternal foal fun for as long as she slept. "I'll see you soon."

Twilight silently motioned Spike and Hair Raiser to walk out of the room. They did this without disturbing the docile and adorable foal as she slept. Once they were both out, Twilight gently and quietly shut the door to give Aurora a wonderful sleep.

"As for you, Hair Raiser. We've got to get you enrolled in the Ponyville Schoolhouse." Twilight said, thinking nothing but the best for Hair Raiser. "I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun there."

"Thanks, mom." Hair Raiser smiled back at Twilight, who was looking down at her with an accepting and welcoming gaze. "I just hope the kids come to accept the fact that my hair can do extraordinary things."

"Trust me, there's been some pretty amazing stuff going down at the schoolhouse recently." Twilight smiled, remembering the good and the bad moments from what the Cutie Mark Crusaders had told her. "I'm sure you'll get along just fine."

Things were set for the Mane 6. They had very smart little foals who liked fun more than knowledge and they couldn't be more happier. Rainbow Dash had been surprised by Gale and how well things had turned out for her straight away, and she assumed that the other girls felt like that as well.

Each and every one of the girls now felt like a big piece of their lives had been filled in. With their mothering styles, Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Applejack would work hard, to make sure that the time their foals would have would be enjoyable. Things were all uphill for our 6 motherly mares now, and that would only get better as the days went by.
