After the minor episode with Luna. Rarity, Twilight and Midnight paid a hefty price for taking the measures they did to teach the lunar princess a few lessons on how to be normal. Those lessons were paid with the reversion spell that had been cast on Midnight before from his Hearths warming present to Twilight. Yea, you know the one.

After hearing about the raunchy details of their many encounters with Midnight. Luna thought it prudent to make them wait a week before they could do anything, and what better way than to turn the three into children.

Luna had left for Canterlot, leaving the children in the middle of town gawking at what had just transpired. They looked to one another in shock, wondering as to what they should do now. Midnight was standing there looking at the two fillies before him gawking like a colt who had found his first and apparently second love.

"Why are you gawking at us Night?" Twilight spoke out in the sweetest filly voice. Rarity turning to see why he was gawking as well.

"Midnight darling, are you alright?" Rarity asked trotting up to him.

"You two have got to be the cutest fillies I have ever seen in my entire life." He managed to squeake out causing them to giggle.

"You're sweet." Rarity smiled giving his nose a kiss. "But we need to get home and think of what we are going to do to return to normal."

"There is a problem with that Rarity." Twilight spoke up catching their attentions. "The spell Luna used was the same one that I used on Midnight before the Shadow infected Equestria. The only way to break the spell is with an incredible amount of magic, or to wait seven days. In a time of desperation Midnight had to use his magic to save us. A pony can only do that with instinct to a given situation. So in short. Unless Luna releases us from the spell. We will be stuck like this for a week. But at least we can still use magic." Twilight smiled.

"Oh no." Rarity trailed off.

"What?" Midnight asked looking to her.

"Sweetiebelle is going to give me hell to play with her and the crusaders now that I'm a filly again. And I still have those orders to fill." She groaned.

"Heh, don't feel to bad. I had plans this weekend to join Dash at the Wonderbolts show in Cloudsdale. I can't be her date like this." He laughed.

"Why are you laughing? This is serious." Twilight snapped.

"Not really, It'll be fun to be little again. I can hang out with the crusaders and help them get their Cutiemarks, or try anyway. Plus now I get to say I have the two cutest filly friends in Ponyville." He smirked causing them to blush furiously.

"That is wrong on so many levels Midnight." Twilight chuckled.

"Hey, I'm still mad." His tone turned serious.

"And why would that be?" Rarity cocked a brow.

"I can't rut anyone when I'm just a colt." He pouted causing the two fillies to fall over laughing.

Later that day after talking to the others to let them know what was going on and why they had changed, Rainbow Dash and Midnight agreed to continue on to the Wonderbolt's show without fail. Rarity and Twilight would continue their daily routine as well, with Rarity at her boutique, and Twilight at the Library. However things don't always tend to go as planned. Especially when it involves being turned into a child again.

"But siiiiiiiiiiis." Sweetiebelle whined.

"I'm sorry Sweetie, but I simply must finish these orders. They are due in less than a week and must be fitted and re-sewn if need be. I must have them done ahead of schedule." Rarity sighed.

"So if you get done with them and they fit the pony that ordered them, you won't have to alter it and then you can play?" Sweetiebelle grinned causing Rarity to cringe.

"I......... I guess you could say that. But that is only if no other orders come in as well. I do have to keep a certain standard in order to keep us afloat." She huffed.

"Uncle Midnight makes like ten thousand bits or more at his musical performances in Canterlot. Can't you just use that?" Sweetie smirked.

"Yes I could but those bits rightfully belong to him. Asking him for assistance....." She was cut off as Midnight came into the room.

"Is perfectly alright." He finished causing her to glare at him. "Listen sweetheart. I am perfectly alright with supporting us. I have more than enough bits for us to live comfortably and even have a lot left over on the side. If Sweetie wants us to get together and play with the crusaders, then by all means. Let's go have some fun." Midnight chuckled causing Sweetie to shout out in glee. Rarity just face hoofed before glaring at Midnight once again.

"You do realize that I am going to get dirty and sweaty from this don't you." She growled to Midnight as she got closer to him as they left the boutique.

Midnight gave her a smirk as he leaned over whispering into her ear. "You don't seem to mind getting sweaty when we play."

Rarity pulled away as her entire body burned a crimson red. "T-that is something entirely different. That form of so called 'playing' is what adults do, children have no clue about such a thing." Rarity huffed.

"I don't see a difference since both things involve physical work. So quit complaining. If you get dirty I'll just use my magic to clean you up." He laughed trotting ahead to Sweetie.

"So what are we going to do today to help you get your Cutiemark?" Midnight asked looking over to Sweetiebelle.

"Well, I don't want to say anything because sis will complain and go home. If we can surprise her when we get there then she will have no choice but to stay and help." Sweetie giggled.

"So I'm guessing this little escapade will involve quite a bit of dirt then?" He smirked back to Rarity who was looking around as they walked.

"Yep, we are going to try to get our Cutiemarks at a small pond near Appleblooms. She has a rope swing on an old oak tree that is hanging out over the water. I think we can get our Cutiemarks in rope swinging or in water splashing." Sweetie giggled.

"Wow, I haven't been on a rope swing like that in years. I can't wait to do this now. Oh! But Rarity is going to have a fit once she knows. Guess that means we are going to have to resort to drastic measures." He grinned back to Rarity.

"What are we going to do?" She asked giving a giggle.

"You'll see." He laughed finally catching the ivory fillies attention.

"What's so funny darling?" Rarity inquired trotting up to his side.

"Oh nothing. Just thinking about our plans for the day. I think you are going to have a lot of fun once we get to our destination." He chuckled.

"Oh? So what will we be doing?" She asked giving a questioning gaze.

"Absolutely not! I will not jump into some filthy pond just to help my sister and her...... HEY! What are you doing?! NO! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!"

"Ok." Midnight laughed as he tossed the Ivory filly into the pond, a screech leaving her as she flew through the air and met the water with a resounding splash. After a couple seconds Rarity breached the surface of the water taking in a gasp of air.

"All of you are going to regret that!" Rarity yelled as she swam toward the shore of the pond, her dampened mane covering most of her face.

"CANNONBALL!" Midnight shouted as he swung from the rope gaining a lot of air, curling into a ball as he hit the water, sending a large wave over Rarity who just let out a scream in surprise. They both resurfaced taking in a large breath of air. Midnight getting a cheer from the three fillies along the shore line.

"Let me show ya how it's done here on the farm." Apple bloom shouted as she quickly made her way up the tree and out onto a limb opposing the limb that the rope had been tied to. "YEEEEEEHAW!" She shouted as she jumped off the limb holding onto the rope as she barely missed the trunk of the tree, zipping by, forcing herself to stand up on her back legs onto the knot in the rope to increase her speed. She reached its zenith, letting go of the rope as she flipped through the air tucking herself into a ball as she hit the water sending a huge wave over Midnight and splashing against Rarity as she had made it to the shore. AB surfaced taking in a large breath of air and blinking the water away as she heard cheers from all around.

"Dang Applebloom, that has got to be the best cannonball I have ever seen." Midnight laughed as he swam to the shore.

"I bet I can do one just as big!" Sweetiebelle shouted as she took a hold of the rope and jumped from the limb, flying through the air as she let go. Giving a loud scream as her limbs flailed wildly before. *WHAP* Everyone cringed except Rarity who began laughing seeing her sister hit the water hard with the most dreaded of moves. The ever painful belly flop.

Midnight swam over lifting Sweetie out of the water with his magic as he swam back to shore. He laid her onto the bank on her back giving a slight cringe as he saw her now very red stomach. He began to slightly chuckle as he spoke to her.

"Sweetie, I'm guessing that wasn't intentional."

"Ya think?!" *groan* She writhed in pain for a few moments before shakily standing up again. "Let's try that again." Sweetie said as she headed for the tree.

"This time though before you hit, tuck in your limbs so you don't feel like you've been stung by a thousand hornets." Scootaloo shouted just before hitting the water from the swing.

"Haha, real funny." Sweetie hissed as she grabbed onto the rope swing to take her turn, this time however landing very well into the pond.

"Alright, great job." Midnight shouted from on the shore next to Rarity who was trying her best to get dry.

"Hun, ya really need to try that. A rope swing needs to be a part of everyone's life at least one time." He smirked to her only to get a glare in return.

"I will not be forced to do such a thing. I simply despise getting dirty in such a manner. Why would anypony want to do this anyway?" She growled out as her magic rang her mane dry.

Midnight gave a sigh shaking his head. "Will ya at least do it one time, for me or your sis?" He asked pleadingly.

"No, there is nothing you can say or do to change my mind." Rarity grumped.

Midnight's expression went from slightly sad to complete neutral as he spoke. "Do it at least once or I will teleport you above the water once every ten minutes for the next hour."

Rarity sputtered looking to Midnight with wide eyes. "You wouldn't dare!?"

Midnight's horn began to light up catching her gaze and making her eyes go wide. "Try me sour puss." He smirked causing her to glare daggers at him as she slunk toward the rope swing. "Hey girls, Rarity is gonna try it out now." Midnight shouted causing Rarity to growl at him again as she pulled the rope back, jumping up and onto the knot. She let out a scream as the swing hit its mark, letting go she gave a shriek then taking a breath just before she hit the water. She resurfaced and began laughing causing everyone to stare at her in confusion. She continued her laughter as she swam to the bank pulling herself out and shaking the water off.

"Rarity, are you alright." Midnight asked trotting up to her in confusion.

"Your turn." Rarity giggled as her horn exploded with magic launching Midnight into the air and into the water *WHAP*

"Ooooooh that had to hurt." Scootlaoo laughed watching Midnight slowly resurface belly up.

"THAT FREAKING HURT!" Yelled Midnight as he floated in the water causing them all to laugh. He slowly made his way to the shore as his horn lit up. "Honey." Midnight spoke in a sing song voice.

"Yes dear?" She asked turning around.

"CATCH!" He shouted.

*Splat*

Rarity blinked a couple time as mud oozed all over her face and horn. The three crusaders rolling on the ground laughing loudly.

"EEEEWWWWW! MUD!? ARE YOU CRAZ *SPLAT*." She was cut off as another ball of mud found its new home right between her eyes.

"Oh quit complaining. Think of this as a free mud bath courtesy of *SPLAT*" He stopped as a mud ball found its new home upside his head. He let out a loud laugh as he began to dodge mud balls left and right as they came from Rarity across the pond.

"THIS MUD ISN'T IMPORTED! IT'S DIRTY!" Rarity laughed as she kept launching them toward Midnight across the pond.

"Blah blah blah, All mud is dirty. It's not like you can jump *splat* into a mud pile and come out sparkly clean." Midnight picked causing Rarity to fume even more.

"I'll show you jumping into a mud pile!" Rarity shouted as she launched several dozen mud balls at Midnight. He watched them coming and stopped, giving a loud laugh as most of them hit him splattering all over his tiny frame.

"Why didn't you try to avoid them?" Rarity shouted in confusion.

"Because this is the most fun I have had in years." He laughed tossing more at Rarity who began to laugh herself as she let one hit her.

"CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS MUD SLINGERS! YAY!" The three fillies shouted in unison as they began tossing mud left and right at both of the adults turned children.

Another hour passed as they all laughed and became so muddy that they could no longer tell who was who until somepony spoke. They sat down underneath the large oak tree resting in the shade.

"Girls, that has got to be the most fun I have had in forever. Let me know when you three decide to come back down here. I'll be sure to join you." Midnight chuckled.

"As will I." Rarity smiled causing all four of them to stop in there tracks.

"What did you say sis?" Sweetiebelle asked in surprised attempting to shake the mud from her ears.

"I said I would like to join you here again. I must say that this was rather fun. Even if I have become so filthy it will take a week to get all of this mud out, it does not matter. I had fun and accepted the consequences for doing so." She smiled through her mud covered face.

"Then I guess I can help you out then." Midnight smirked as his horn lit up and a portal appeared in front of the four of them. Midnight getting up and trotting through it, coming out on the opposite side clean as a whistle. The girls giggled standing up and trotting through the portal as well, coming out cleaner than they had been when they arrived at the small pond.

The girls and Midnight began their trek back to Ponyville, Midnight noticing that they had not once looked at their flanks to see if they had gotten their Cutiemarks. Curious about this he pipped up.

"Girls. How come you haven't checked to see if you had gotten your Cutiemarks yet?"

The girls stopped for a moment looking back to their blank flanks and shrugged. "Guess we were just having to much fun." Scootaloo smiled.

"Eeyup." Added Applebloom.

"Well, I'm glad you all had fun. This will have to become a regular thing for all of us." Midnight smiled trotting up to Rarity giving her a nuzzle.

"Even after you get back to your normal size?" Sweetiebelle smiled.

"Eeyup." Midnight chuckled getting them to laugh.

'Yes, this day has been a lot of fun. I wonder if Luna is having this much fun since she got back to the castle.' Midnight thought to himself as they trotted along.

'WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING MR. 'I'D HIT IT!'." Shouted Luna as she chased several guards through the castle causing them to scream in terror as she began to throw random objects at them.

"I'm sorry princess!? It was only a joke!" Shouted the guard as he barely avoided a flying bust of a ponies head as it slammed into the floor next to him.

Celestia stood by watching the whole thing play out, giving a giggle as they rounded the corner for the fifth time.

"I guess the guards will have to watch what they say around my dear sister since her lessons from Midnight."

*CRASH* "COME BACK HERE YOU COWARD!"
