The Power Foals and Hair Raiser

by Shadowmane PX-41

Chapter 6: New Beginnings

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

On the next day, The Mane 6 were awakened by the morning sun. They bathed in the light for a good few seconds before finally pulling themselves out of their sleep and waking up their little foals as well.

Hair Raiser got out of her bed and saw Aurora had already done some work with her power. The bars on the crib she slept in were frozen, and she was happily sucking the icicles that came out of them, while also making sure not to impale herself as she did so.

Hair Raiser then carried Aurora out of the icy crib and broke off some icicles for her to suck on as they went on their way to get breakfast with Twilight. Spike then walked in and melted the ice Aurora had been casting, so that her crib was ready for her to use later, should she want to.

"Good morning, Aurora." She said, using her hair to carry the foal up and put her in front of her face. "Did you sleep well last night?"

Aurora merely nodded, cooing in bliss as she began to suck on another of the icicles that Hair Raiser had broken off for her. She was too occupied with her frozen treat to answer in a verbal manner.

"I'll take that as a yes." Hair Raiser smiled as she put Aurora back on her back and continued her trek for their breakfasts.

It hadn't taken them long for them to make it to the dining hall again. Hair Raiser picked Aurora up with her hair and put her down in the high-chair for Twilight to handle. Then, Hair Raiser took her own seat and looked at the breakfast menu for the day.

Hair Raiser pondered all the items she could have. The breakfast menu indicted her to one meal, a drink and some fruit. She chose the Equestria Continental, which consisted of fried eggs, potato wedges, beans, sundried tomatoes and a hint of carrot cake. For her drink, she chose some good old-fashioned orange juice, freshly squeezed. Finally, for the side of fruit, she chose to have a mango.

"So, what'll it be, Hair Raiser?" Borealis said, returning to the young filly for her breakfast order.

"An Equestria Continental with freshly squeezed orange juice and a side of mango, please." She said, tapping it with a smile on her face.

"Ahh, good choice, miss." He said, taking the menu off of Hair Raiser and writing down the order on a notepad. "Coming right up." And then he was off to the kitchen to have it prepared for her.

Hair Raiser didn't have much to do to keep her occupied at this time. She mainly liked messing with her hair for the wait. After she'd gotten bored of amusing herself with it, she used it to entertain Aurora, getting a few giggles of delight from the little foal.

Eventually, Twilight walked into the room and already saw Aurora and Hair Raiser sitting down in their respective positions. She smiled at Aurora and walked over to Hair Raiser.

"Good morning, girls." She said, greeting the two fillies as she took her seat as well. "Isn't it a lovely morning in Ponyville?"

"It looks that way." Hair Raiser smiled as she looked out the window and saw what looked like a lovely day outside. She leaned against the back of her chair and sighed happily.

"So, what did you choose for breakfast, Hair Raiser?" Twilight decided to ask as she chose her morning meal as well.

"I chose the Equestria Continental. with orange juice and a mango." She said, using her hair to show Twilight what she'd chosen. "What about you, Mom? What are you gonna have for breakfast this morning?"

"Well, personally, I prefer an oatcake on mornings. They say it's good for the mind." Twilight said, smiling as she could envision her morning meal now. "All those vitamins and nutrients are worth it, to help a smart little pony make it through their studies. Wouldn't you agree?"

Hair Raiser merely nodded as she waited for her morning meal to be served to her. It had been a while since she ordered her food and was eagerly waiting to be served. She looked at Aurora and Twilight as she waited and knew everything would be alright.

Borealis eventually came back, holding a serving dish in his magic. He walked over to Hair Raiser and gently placed the dish on the table. He lifted the top up, revealing an Equestria Continental, fresh from the kitchen.

"There you go, Miss Raiser. Enjoy." He said as he took the lid with him to the kitchen, so it could be washed up for later use.

"Thanks, Borealis." She said, waving him off with her hoof before tucking in to her meal.

She tried using her hooves to pick up the knife and fork, an action which gave her no gain whatsoever. So she ended up using her hair to grab the cutlery, which yielded more results this time around.

Hair Raiser chewed each morsel of her food as thoroughly as she could, getting most of the flavours out of it. Once she got enough of the flavour she desired, she swallowed the foodstuff and moved on to another piece of her meal.

Twilight saw Aurora, quaintly nibbling on one of the icicles she'd had from her crib earlier. She merely smiled and levitated Aurora over to her chair and laid her down on her laps. She waited patiently for Aurora to finish her frozen treat.

She barely even noticed her food had arrived once Aurora had finally finished the icicle she had been eating. Once Aurora had finished, she was lifted up to Twilight's teats and allowed to breastfeed once more.

Twilight's wings once more enabled Aurora to enjoy the majesty of a warm comfort, tied in with the delicious breast milk she was consuming. Aurora looked up at Twilight whilst she suckled, receiving a motherly gaze in return.

Even though Twilight knew this was only a temporary motherhood, she didn't mind this at all. In fact, she was grateful that she had this experience. Many Alicorns in Equestria never have the chance to marry, let alone have children.

Once Aurora had finished, Twilight burped her and set her back down in her chair, so she could wait patiently for Hair Raiser and Twilight to finish.

"Mmmm..." Hair Raiser said, taking in another morsel of her delectable breakfast. "How DO your cooks make food this good, Mom?"

"My chefs are hoof-picked from the best chefs on the planet, Hair Raiser." She said, addressing her as clearly as a filly could understand. "Out of all the greatest cooks and bakers on Equestria, I chose only the best to serve in my kitchen. Well, it was mostly Celestia who did made the choices for me, since I'm still adapting to being a princess. But I supervised her decisions, so that still counts, right?"

"I think it truly only counts if you chose them yourself." Hair Raiser said, bringing up her impeccable logic. "Having someone else do the picking for you seems lazy and pointless. Why do you have to depend on Celestia to do all this stuff anyways?"

"Well, I was Celestia's personal protégé when I went to her school for unicorns adept in the magical arts. She took a liking to me during my entrance exam. Ever since that faithful day, she's been like my big sister in a way. She took me under her wing and taught me at levels far beyond my other students. And since I became a princess and got this new castle, she's been helping me get a head start on this whole 'Princess of Friendship' business."

"Princess of Friendship? What does that even mean?" Hair Raiser said, looking a little confused as she allowed herself to stop eating for a brief moment.

"Well, my rank in the Equestrian Hierarchy went up once I'd discovered our new power." Twilight explained. "By collecting six keys from six different conflicts, we were able to unlock a chest that played a pivotal role in bringing Tirek to his knees and throwing him back in Tartarus, where he belongs. The keys opened a chest, consuming us in a rainbow-coloured light before we finally emerged as much more powerful versions of ourselves. Our new power was enough to overpower and defeat Tirek, before we sealed him back in Tartarus for another eternity."

"Oh, that makes sense." She smiled at Twilight before returning to her meal, finishing off the mango she'd started on, making a mess as the juicy remnants splattered on the empty parts of the plate and a few parts of her legs.

She used her hooves to wipe the mess off of herself instead of her hair. She was an Earth Pony with super-hair, but even she had to have manners, especially since her mother was a princess. Once her mess was accounted for, she swigged down the last of her OJ and got up from the chair.

"Well, now that I'm full, I think I'm ready for the day ahead of me." Hair Raiser said as she left the table and walked over to Twilight, who put Aurora on her back. "But first, I think we need to put little Aurora back in her room to play."

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Twilight smiled at Hair Raiser as the two of them walked out of the room with Aurora on the back. "You're a really intelligent little filly, aren't you?"

"Thanks, Mom." She said, walking down the corridors with Twilight and Aurora back to her room.

Once the three of them made it back to the room, Spike was already there, thawing the rest of Aurora's icy crib for later use. He looked a little exhausted once he used his fire breath one last time, finishing the job.

"Let me tell ya, Twilight..." He said in between gasps for breath. "This ice is colder than it looks..."

"That's alright, Spike." She said, warming up the slightly soggy crib, making it seem like it had never been frozen and was now ready for Aurora to sleep in it again. "In fact, I need you to watch over cute little Aurora again whilst I drop off Hair Raiser at the Schoolhouse.

"Are you crazy, Twilight?!" Spike said, remembering the last time he was left alone with Aurora. "The last time you told me to watch over that little freezer, she turned me into an ice sculpture!"

"I've disciplined her with a mixture of both spanking and magic." Twilight said, stroking Aurora's mane as she was lifted through the air with her magic and dropped into Spike's arms. "Now she won't freeze anything living, which means you can take it easy this time around."

"Are you sure?" Spike asked, giving Twilight a little gaze. "You promise she won't freeze me?"

"I promise, Spike." She replied, petting his scales in a comforting fashion. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

"Thanks, Twilight." Spike said, acknowledging the Pinkie Promise that Twilight had made to him.

"She'll be back in a few minutes anyways." Hair Raiser reassured Spike as she walked out of the door with Twilight. "It's just looking after a harmless little foal, what could go wrong?"

"Yeah right..." Spike said once Hair Raiser and Twilight had left him to it. Spike was still a little worried that Aurora would come out of nowhere and strike him with one of her spells. "I bet I'll get roasted or frozen within the next five minutes."

"Mowning..." Aurora spoke, opening her eyes and awakening in Spike's arms. "Wait... You'we not my Mama. Who awe yoo?" She said, readying a strike from her horn, one that flickered with fire.

"W-Wait!" Spike said, putting Aurora down as soon as he noticed the flickering flames coming from her horn. "No need to fry me, Aurora. It's me, Spike."

"Spike?" She asked, still curious as to who he was. "Weww... Whewe's my Mama den?" She said, showing some sadness as she turned off the fire on her horn.

"She's taken your big sister Hair Raiser down to the Schoolhouse." Spike said, petting Aurora's coat, getting her to feel a little more at ease. "She'll be back soon."

"B-But... I miss my Mama!" She said, bursting into tears, which all froze and hit the floor without breaking up. "W-Why did Mama hafta weave me dis eawwy?!"

"W-Whoa!" Spike noticed all the ice tears that Aurora was starting to cry and immediately decided something had to be done. "C-Calm down, Aurora. She'll be back soon, I promise!"

"Y-You pwomise Mama wiww come back?" She said, looking up at Spike with concern showing in her eyes.

"I promise." Spike said, finally quelling Aurora's sadness and smashing the ice tears she had been crying. "Now then... What do ya wanna do until she comes back..."

"I... I wanna pway wid my bwocks." She said, looking over at the toy blocks over by her crib. "Can I pway wid dem, Spike?"

"Sure." He said, letting Aurora crawl over to the blocks she desired to use. "Have fun, alright?"

"Otay, Uncie Spike." She said, giggling shortly afterwards. Then she was lost in her playtime, picking up blocks and putting them one on top of the other, to make a tower. She had immediately forgotten about all the sadness of having to wait for Twilight to come back and caress her again and was now happily putting blocks on top of each other.


"Are you sure those schoolponies won't come and treat you like a celebrity again?" Hair Raiser decided to ask as she neared the schoolhouse with Twilight.

"Don't worry, they now know I'll be coming down to drop you off and pick you up, so they'll have plenty more time to witness me." Twilight said, making sure that Hair Raiser understood the whole issue.

"Alright then, Mom." She said as she felt her saddlebags which had been filled with school apparatus, ready for any challenge that would be thrown at her. "Anything else I should know?"

"Well, not everyone here is quite as friendly as they might seem." Twilight said, remembering two very infamous little fillies who went to this school. "Be on the lookout for a pink Earth Pony with a diamond tiara and a silver Earth Pony with glasses, they've been nothing but trouble for everyone except the teacher."

"Oh come on, Mom. I'm sure it can't be THAT bad." Hair Raiser said as she walked into the classroom, where everyone was looking at her and her lengthy hair. "Umm... Hi?"

She was immediately met with a chorus of sniggers and a few ponies trying to hold in their laughter, the only ones who didn't show this were the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Ms. Cheerilee, the teacher.

"Alright, Hair Raiser, I'll be back to pick you up at 3:00 PM." She said, explaining some rules to her before she took her seat. "Remember to make lots of friends, learn all that you can and just have a good time here."

"Okay, Mom." She said, looking a little more shyer than usual. She'd never seen everyone looking at her like that. Even so, she walked over to the empty desk behind Applebloom and put her saddlebags to the sides of it before sitting down.

Once Princess Twilight had left her to it, the bell rung and class was in session. For once, Hair Raiser started to show fear. She'd never done something like this and she was worried that she might not get along with anyone here, due to her freakishly long hair. When Cheerilee began talking, it felt like an omen of doom to her ears...


"Oh! Hey, Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said, gently flying to to Twilight, who had just walked out of Ponyville Schoolhouse and was about to head back to the castle. "How's the kids been?"

"They've been quite fine for their first night." She explained. "Aurora did freeze Spike solid after we left to enrol Hair Raiser, but I managed to discipline her the only way I know how, making sure it never happens again."

"You spanked her, didn't you?" Rainbow Dash deadpanned.

"What else could I have done?!" Twilight said, looking a little stunned how Rainbow Dash had just said it. "She could have killed Spike, the closest thing to a child I've ever had!"

"Lighten up, Twi. They're just foals. They're meant to be this playful." Rainbow Dash, trying to get her own words into Twilight's head. "Sure they're super-powered, but as long as their powers don't make your job as mother harder, then it's totally justified."

"What are you saying, Rainbow Dash?" She asked, still not getting the full picture.

"You shouldn't spank Aurora for playing, let alone freezing Spike." She said, putting a hoof on her shoulder. "The least you could have done is giving her a time-out or something, but spanking her? And you call me the bad mother..."

"Sorry, Rainbow Dash. I've just been a little stressed out by this whole thing." Twilight said, finally sharing her thoughts. "These new children of ours only came into Equestria yesterday, and they're already proving to be a handful for me."

"That's how every mother feels when they first get foals. The feeling's mutual, Twilight." She said, showing off Gale at last, who looked at Twilight with a tiny little smile. "Even little Gale here proved to be a little more than what I bargained for when I brought her home, but I'm still able to cope with her."

"You... Like her?" Twilight looked a little surprised, Rainbow Dash was caring for a foal... And liked it!

"Yeah, she's a playful little one, like I was." She said, petting Gale's hair, getting her to laugh and make a little flurry in front of Twilight and Rainbow Dash. "You don't get many playful foals with superpowers as awesome as my speed, so you might as well take this chance while ya still have it, in my opinion."

"Thanks, Rainbow Dash. Now I can see that you make an exceptional mother." Twilight said, smiling at her. "If you can handle a super-foal and like it, I'm sure I can do the same with Aurora."

"Good to hear it." Rainbow Dash flew up and was about to head to town. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get little Gale here some extra 'supplies'." Then she flew off.

Twilight smiled and walked the rest of the journey home alone. Of all the ponies to teach her to grin and bear it when it came to foalcare, it was Rainbow Dash, somepony who she'd never have guessed would have taught her that.

If she saw how good of a mother Rainbow Dash was, then she knew that she could follow her example and raise Aurora and Hair Raiser perfectly, and lead them on a life of prosperity before they returned to the comic book from whence they came...
