Applejack, a.k.a. Pony Ranger IV—Green, helped her family run an apple farm known as Sweet Apple Acres. She was truthful and straightforward, and she also had the greatest physical strength out of the Pony Rangers. Sometimes, she forgot her own strength, such as when she accidentally broke one of the wagons on the farm. “Aw, for corn’s sake!” she snapped; she was quite fed up with being strong. She decided to go to the Carousel Boutique to ask Rarity whether the unicorn could help her repair the wagon.

“I, too, wish you were weak, you green grove gal!” snarled Nightmare Moon. Inspired by the clean ruptures in Shadow Bot, the Shadowbolts had made a new destructive weapon. “What’s worse than a wrecking ball?” asked the alicorn. Exactly on cue, the Shadowbolts brought the new weapon out for Nightmare Moon to see. “The Shatter Ball!” announced the alicorn maniacally.

“Twilight! Look! The barn at Sweet Apple Acres is in shambles!” screamed Spike to Twilight Sparkle. Twilight trotted over to the monitor, watched the footage, and alerted the Pony Rangers. “I read you, Twilight,” answered Rainbow Dash over the radio in the Power Chamber. “Bring Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy to the Power Chamber immediately!” commanded Twilight. She tried to reach Rarity and Applejack, but neither of them answered.

“—”…

Fluttershy, a.k.a. Pony Ranger II—Yellow, took care of hundreds of animals at her cottage, which was right outside Ponyville. She was a talented caretaker of animals, and one day, she had to bid farewell to some of those animals who stopped by her home. “Good-bye, little friends,” she told them. “I hope that each and every one of you can find a new home,” she added. “Sometimes,” she thought aloud, “I wish I could be a baby all over again!”

Fluttershy’s wish had Nightmare Moon cackling with delight. “I know exactly how to make your wish come true, Ms. Nice Mare!” cried the wicked alicorn. She sent a new Shadow Minion down to Ponyville to target the timid pegasus. “Is the Growth Bomb ready?” she demanded of the Shadowbolts. When they confirmed that the Growth Bomb was in working order, the alicorn announced, “Prepare to grow down, foal!”

Suddenly, a kindly unicorn appeared from behind the greenery around Fluttershy’s cottage. “Did somepony make a wish to be a baby?” cooed the unicorn in a motherly voice. “Erm—I think I’m the one who said that,” answered Fluttershy. “You don’t say!” cried the unicorn with joy. “But I just did say that!” countered Fluttershy. “Do you ever feel like a baby?” asked the unicorn. “Oh, yes—I get scared very much and very often, and I even feel helpless sometimes!” confessed Fluttershy. “Awww! You poor dear! I’ll tell you what—I’m going to make you my very own baby!” the unicorn told the pegasus. “Oh, thank you—that would be oh, so kind!” cried Fluttershy, whose eyes started to release tears of joy. With that, the unicorn took Fluttershy with her.
