"So, Hair Raiser, ah know that you stood up ta Diamond earlier. But ah have to ask, why did ya stand up to her?" Applebloom asked once the bell rang and everyone was called in for their next lesson. "Not many foals in this class have the guts to do that, let alone in such a powerful way that makes her feel weak..."

"Well, you see, Mum told me that Diamond Tiara wasn't to be trusted," Hair Raiser said, sighing shortly afterwards. "I just don't really know how to stand up to ponies without using my hair. I know that Cheerilee's here, but Diamond would probably try and pull some kind of puppy-dog face to make me seem like the bad one..."

"Yeah, that sounds like something she'd usually do," Scootaloo said, remembering just how much of a brat that Diamond Tiara could be at times. "I've had that idea many times, but Sweetie Belle and Applebloom keep telling me that it's best to just let it go and just continue with what we're doing..."

"But, if you just leave her alone, doesn't she usually come back to cause misery?" Hair Raiser asked, wondering whether or not Diamond Tiara would be a recurring problem, both for her, and the rest of the CMC.

"She does, and she does strike at some pretty deep points as well..." Sweetie Belle said as they all made it inside the schoolhouse once again. "She usually nitpicks by saying we're never going to accomplish much, and even went so far as to say that Scootaloo wouldn't be able to fly..."

"That's horrible..." Hair Raiser looked at Diamond Tiara with a rather bemused and disgusted look on her face. "Nopony that cruel should be allowed to be seen in public, let alone do things to other ponies that make them miserable..."

"You're right about that, Hair Raiser," Applebloom said, completely agreeing on what she was saying as she too looked at Diamond Tiara. "Eventually, every bad apple gets thrown out. And someday, Diamond Tiara's gonna hafta fess up fer her actions..."

"Yeah, but until then, we're just going to have to grin and bear it..." Sweetie Belle said as they all took their seats for the next lesson of the day.

"Alright, everypony. Quiet down for our next lesson, please," Cheerilee said, getting all of the fillies and colts to direct their attention to her voice, as well as the lesson she had prepared for them. "Let's all settle down for our next lesson."

The lesson that followed was a seemingly long telling of the Crystal Empire's creation, and the princess who presided over it before Sombra began enslaving everyone. Many of the fillies and colts in the class were scribbling down notes on the lesson they were learning, so that they were able to retain the knowledge, should Cheerilee ask them to recall any facts that she was confiding to them. Despite their devotion to learning, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were merely listening and messing around with their hooves to pass the time.

Hair Raiser looked at the two fillies and scoffed to herself before she returned to her notes. She was quite adept at writing, for being a filly who'd only just arrived in Equestria yesterday. Whilst many foals would find it daunting to go into detail over what they would have to be writing about, Hair Raiser found it much easier to show the facts instead of tell them to the class. This meant that her facts were much more descriptive than usual, which would garnish a better grade if she applied them later.

However, Hair Raiser could suddenly feel something in her hair. Not something physical, but something otherworldly. She tried using her hoof to find what the problem was, before her hair suddenly curled around her, like someone putting their hooves through silk drapes. Something was wrong. This sudden realization had Hair Raiser on edge, and before she could even think of anything else, her hair suddenly shot upwards and spread across the ceiling, much to the surprise of everyone.

"W-What's happening?" she asked herself as she tried letting her hair drop, with little avail. It was like something was controlling her hair instead, making her seem like a freak of nature amongst the rest of the class. "Get down, hair! You're not supposed to act like this!"

As if the hair was obedient to her words, it suddenly fell down from the ceiling, covering the faces of many other foals in the class. As it recoiled and returned towards Hair Raiser, she know knew that everyone else in the class knew what she was. With that in mind, Hair Raiser looked towards Cheerilee with a look of terror.

The Earth Pony merely looked surprised that Hair Raiser had such a unique gift. She should have been feeling apprehensive towards Hair Raiser, but something was telling her that she would be able to control this in the future, and use it for the greater good of everypony. She merely trotted towards Hair Raiser, and put her hoof on her shoulders.

"Is something the matter, Hair Raiser?" she asked, feeling rather sympathetic for the startled filly. "Why did your hair suddenly grow out of control like that?"

"I'm... I'm not really sure, Miss Cheerilee..." Hair Raiser said, struggling to get a feasible explanation for what had just happened in the class. "It just... got out of control, just like that..."

"Sounds like somepony's been bathing herself in mane-care products," Diamond Tiara said, striking at Hair Raiser's emotions with speed and precision. She'd found a weak point in her psyche, and was taking full advantage of it. "The next thing you know, she'll have enough hair for a forest!"

"Watch your step, everypony! You're entering the forest of Hair Raiser, where every step you take could hurt the wildlife!" Silver chimed in, once more following on Diamond Tiara's insults. Despite the fact that she and Diamond had had their comeuppance earlier, this was their chance to get back at her for what she'd done.

Cheerilee's expression suddenly changed as she shot death glares at the two cackling fillies. "And as for you two, I'll be having stern words with your parents, discussing whether or not we decide to hold you two back or have you expelled!" she suddenly calmed down and returned to Hair Raiser. "Look, Hair Raiser, why don't you spend the rest of the lesson outside? I'll give you a copy of the book I'm reading from so that you won't miss anything out, OK?"

"OK," Hair Raiser said, slowly getting up from her seat, feeling a little sad that she'd been struck that deep in her psychological mind. Through some sorrow, she said, "Thank you, Miss Cheerilee," before taking the book that she offered her and walking out of the class to study in peace.

As soon as the door shut behind her, Hair Raiser let out some small tears. She had been told that Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were bad, but she hadn't known how bad until just recently. If that was what the CMC had to put up with every day, then she began to question whether or not going to this schoolhouse was a good idea to begin with.

As she read each different paragraph on each different page, Hair Raiser quickly took in all of the lore that the book had to offer her. Within the entire lesson, she'd read up almost everything she could on the book before the bell rung, signalling the end of that lesson.

She got up and picked up the book with her hair, putting it onto her back. "Wait a second..." She remembered that she wasn't the only visitor from the comic book, and that she might not be the only one who might have their powers suddenly freak out. "If my powers suddenly freaked out like that, I shudder to think on what the foals will do then their powers get out of hand..."

"Come on, Hair Raiser, we've gotta do somethin' while we're out here," Applebloom said, watching Hair Raiser give the book back to Miss Cheerilee, watching the two of them exchange smiles before she returned to the CMC.

"Oh, but before we do, I have to know," Scootaloo said, getting a question for Hair Raiser to answer. "Why did you hair freak out all of a sudden?"

"I'm not really sure, girls..." Hair Raiser sounded quite worried as that horrific memory from earlier was emblazoned into her mind. "It was perfectly fine this morning..."

"Well, whatever it was, I'm sure you'll be able to control it eventually," Sweetie Belle said, lighting up her horn for a brief instance before stopping it. "just like I'm starting to control my magic the more I practise!" She then walked over to Hair Raiser and helped calm her down. "Don't worry about it, Hair Raiser. Just focus on the fact that you're a filly, and a respected member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Now come on, let's do something whilst we're out here on this warm, sunny day..."

"Yeah... Good idea..." Hair Raiser said, following the CMC. Her morale had returned, but now there was something else on her mind. The very fact that she had arrived with six foals with super-powers, and that she might not be the only one to freak out today. "Mum, you and your friends better know how to handle super-foals, or else you're going to be in for quite a shock..."

Meanwhile, back at the castle, the Mane Six were watching over their foals, helping them play with the many different toys that were on offer. It was mainly each of the Mane Six helping their individual foal out, but there were sometimes where multiple different grown-ups would help multiple different foals play some big games, such as Tag or Hide-and-Seek.

Eventually, Twilight had had a marvellous idea, and grabbed the attention of everyone in the room. "You know, this room does seem rather small for six foals..."

"So, whatcha thinkin' bout, Twilight?" Applejack asked as she picked up Honest and put her onto her back.

"I've got some rooms to spare in this castle, despite the fact that many of them are taken, so I think that one of the empty rooms could be re purposed into a day-care room for multiple different foals," Twilight said, bringing her plan to light, already grabbing the attention of all of her friends, who seemed to agree with her on that matter. "There'd be enough space for large groups of foals to play together, including the foals we already have. I'd also have to get some supplies ordered, as well as hire some more ponies to act as caretakers for all of the foals, but the best part would be that it'd be an open day-care, for all the foals in Ponyville!"

"Well, that sounds like a rather marvellous idea, Twilight. It boosts fame when a princess is seen showing love and compassion for children of all ages. You'll be respected by many different groups for your decision!" Rarity said, waving her hooves for emphasis. "And I'd love bringing little Glimmer into your day-care, knowing that she'd be in good hooves..."

"Ah hafta admit, Twilight, that's a pretty good decision yer makin', but ah think that it'd rival that of any othe day-care centre that might already exist in Ponyville..." Applejack said, thinking about the possibility of a day-care that might already be in business. "It's a good idea, ah hafta admit, but ya might get a little flak from other ponies if it does turn out that there's another day-care in Ponyville..."

"Well, there's another thing I was about to explain," Twilight said, continuing her explanation. "Whilst I go out and see all of the foal supplies for sale, I'll also be checking for any other day-care centres that already exist in Ponyville, and then ask them whether or not it's alright to make another one in my castle."

"Either way, I suppose I should be able to show you all the room that I'd plan to put all of the foals in, provided my plans go through without fail..." Twilight said, getting all of the ponies to start to pick up their foals and show them as well. "No, you don't have to bring your foals with you. I want it to remain a surprise for them, until we finish with the construction..."

"Are you sure about that, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked, worrying about what her foal could do if her powers were invoked. "I mean, we do have foals with super-powers as our children... Who knows what could happen if we just leave them all alone in this room, free to use their powers as they see fit?"

"Spike, surely you don't mind looking after our foals whilst I show the girls the room, right?" Twilight asked Spike, seeing that he was about to walk away, but her words had stopped him.

"Me?! But why?" Spike looked back at all six of the foals, remembering that they were foal versions of the Power Ponies, and that at least one of them could still use their powers. "I know that Aurora's easy to deal with now, but handling the rest of the foals as well?"

"It'll only be around five minutes, Spike. It's just down a couple of hallways, and it's all one large room with tons of stuff to put in," Twilight explained, rubbing his scales with her hoof as she proceeded to walk out of the door. "And besides, they're just foals, they can't help it if they use their powers. It's their way of having fun..."

"Surely, you can handle a few rambunctious little foals, right, Spikey-Wikey?" Rarity asked, looking at Spike with pleading eyes.

"I... I..." he was taken aback with Rarity's gaze. On one hand, he felt like all of the foals were going to unleash their powers on him, making him feel unsafe. But at the same time, he didn't want to disappoint Rarity, or any of Twilight's friends. With a defeated sigh, he said, "Alright then. But only for you, Rarity..."

"Thank you, Spikey-Poo," Rarity said, rubbing his scales as a sign of gratitude before putting Glimmer down next to him. "It's truly a kind and generous thing you're doing, looking after all of our foals whilst we go with Twilight..."

"Yeah! I mean, not many ponies would vouch for looking after foals with hyperspeed, the ability to control weather, create anything, control a lasso with their mind alone, fire both ice and fire from their horn, and turn into a super-massive monster whenever the foal has a temper tantrum. They'd just disagree and walk right out the door, continuing their day in Ponyville like nothing ever happened!" Pinkie Pie said, making Spike suddenly feel more worried.

"Pinkie!" Twilight shot a death-glare at her, getting her to stop and calm down. Her demeanour then returned to a more neutral one once all of the Mane Six had walked out of the room. "Now, Spike. For extra protection, I'm locking the door behind me, so that the foals can't get out and cause chaos. That way, you'll be able to keep them all in this one room, safe and sound..."

"You can count on me!" Spike said, feigning bravery as he saluted Twilight.

"You'll be fine, Spike. It's only five minutes. I'm counting on you..." were the last words that Twilight said before she shut the door with her magic.

The loud sound of a lock being locked could be heard, an audio clue that Spike and the foals were now locked in the room, unable to escape.

Spike looked at Aurora, who was using little waves of her hoof to attract the other foalized Power Ponies to her. Though he thought that the other foals wouldn't be able to understand her, he was clearly mistaken when he saw Honest, Shy Hearted, Lightspeed, Gale, and Glimmer crawl over to Aurora. He looked as the six of them huddled up together, so that they could speak to each other in private.

"So, giwws, wat do yoo wanna pway whiwst Mama and hew fwiends awe gone?" Gale asked, her voice no louder than a whisper as she spoke to the other foals.

"Wait... Yoo undewstand me, Gawe?" Aurora asked, surprised that she could understand what Gale was saying to her.

"Weww, duh, Auwowa. We'we aww babies now, Babies undewstand odew babies pewfectwy. Which is pwobabwy why Spikey-Wikey ovew dewe can't undewstand us now..." Gale said, pointing over to the dragon who was keeping guard over them. "

"Weww, I guess dat makes some sense..." Glimmer said, using one of her bracelets to create a massive blanket than then enveloped the six foals. "Hehe... I wove having dese powews. Now we can tawk widout Spikey undewstanding us."

"Yoo mean yoo dun wemembew who we weawwy awe, Gwimmew?" Aurora said, speaking to the giggling unicorn. "And wait, why I caww yoo Gwimmew, and why I caww Gawe Gawe? Weww, not exactwy, but yoo know wat I mean..."

"Yoo dun wemembew, Auwowa? We wewe onwy bown yestewday," Lightspeed said, shedding a little light on the situation as she spoke to Aurora. "We onwy babies fow one day, no memowies means no pwobwem, wight?"

"It's bettew not ta tink of tings and just pway wid da wife yoo have, Auwowa," Honest said, rubbing her back. "We wewe bown yestewday, by each of our diffewent Mamas. Dey aww wove us vewy much, and wanna make suwe dat noting bad happens ta us..."

"Speaking of which, we shouwd pway a game whiwst dey'we gone. It'ww makes us happy whiwst we wait fow ouw Mamas to come back..." Shy said before she put one of her hooves into her mouth and began to suckle it.

"Weww, whadda yoo wanna pway, den, Shy?" Aurora asked, then put her hooves over her mouth as she mispronounced another one of her partners in crime-fighting. "Again wid dat... Why I not caww my teammates wike I usuawwy caww dem, and why do dey say we wewe onwy bown yestewday? Someting's not wight hewe, yet I tink it's also wight at da same time..." she then cringed at how long she'd heard herself talk. "And why I stiww tawk funny? Is it because I youngew now?"

"What's going on under there?" Spike asked, looking at the blanket that Glimmer had made with her bracelets. If it was to do with concealing the Power Foals, then Spike knew that they were planning something big, which was irregular for foals their age. "I don't like the looks of this..."

"But den, why we have dese powews?" Aurora asked herself another question as she used her horn to fire a small beam of fire at the ground. "If we'we foaws, den we supposed to not have powews, and just be owdinawy babies. Yet, someting tewws me dat we now bown wid dem..."

"Come on, Auwowa, you'we nevew gonna have fun if yoo keep moping wike dat," Shy said, nudging Aurora to break her out of her train of thought. "Now den, I have big game pwanned fow us aww. And we aww gots ta pway it, odewwise we won't aww be happy..."

Spike was pacing the floor, wondering what the foals would do with him once they'd finally finished their plans. At first, he wondered if they would be able to use all of their powers at once to destroy the lock and break out of the room. Then he realized that they were all foals, and knew that something as simple as opening a locked door of that size and scale would be impossible for them, with or without their powers.

He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he could hear the Power Foals' voices become audible again as the blanket began to vanish. He could tell from the sight alone that they'd finished their deliberations, and were about to play their game together.

"One... Two... Thwee!" the Power Foals all said before they leapt up into the air, put their hooves together in a high-five motion and said, "PWAYTIME!" in perfect sync with one another.

"Oh boy..." Spike sighed in desperation as he looked at the six foals leap up and land shortly afterwards. "Here we go..."
