Although normally it wouldn't have taken until dawn the next to translate all of the symbols in something that could be read by the lavender unicorn. When Twilight had scanned the book that would provide the translation to the confusing symbols, it provided her only with confusion. After many hours of not only examining the book to find the cause of the problem. She and Midnight had also taken the time to manually translate the symbols by researching each and every symbol that was within their memory.

It was now in the early hours of dawn, and the golden sun had just peeked over the horizon to shed its warm rays over all of Equestria. The dark Alicorn and the lavender love of his life had all but fallen asleep once the final symbols had been translated into legible content. It would be a few hours before they would wake, or so they thought while they slumbered quietly behind Twilight's desk.

At this moment however, Celestia had taken it upon herself, once she had risen the sun, to make a quick trip to Ponyville to see if she could locate the stallion that had transformed her into something she had not been in several millennia. Spike on the other hand, upon answering the front door and seeing her, couldn't help but give a soft chuckle while covering his mouth to attempt to halt them from escaping. He had been warned of what had happened through an early morning scroll addressed directly to him, and had also been warned that she would be giving a surprise visit to attempt to locate Midnight.

The young dragon had sent her a reply however, stating that Midnight was there along with Twilight, sound asleep in her study. Upon reading this on the scroll, the sun princess teleported into Ponyville just a few yards from the library. Once she had entered the library and made her way into Twilight's study, she gave an eery grin that looked rather maniacal compared to her normal expressions. As she made her way quietly around the desk, she could help but feel a little bad about what she was about to do as her horn lit up with magic.

Just as her horn lit up, Midnight's ears swiveled to the sound of the magic coursing through Celestia's horn. He turned his head drowsily toward her and blinked a couple of times before seeing her sinister grin. Just as he realized what was about to happen, only one word left his mouth before he was hit with a blast of magic.

"Shit..............." *ZAP*

Twilight jumped from her spot into the air and wrapped herself around a standing lamp that was next to her desk. She panted a few times as she looked around herself in shock only to see a tiny Princess of the Sun rolling on the floor and laughing so hard that she was crying.

"P-princess?!" Twilight spoke out worriedly, until she saw a little black and orange colt sitting quietly on the floor where she had just launched herself from. Connecting the laughing princess to the colt that looked just like her betrothed to be made everything click together, causing her to jump down from the lamp and trot up next to him seeing his ears splayed back and a disgruntled expression spread across his face as he glared a hole through the laughing filly that had just zapped him.

"MIDNIGHT?!" Twilight gawked before giving a soft giggle and covering her mouth with a hoof.

The dark Alicorn gave a sigh as he looked up to Twilight before speaking.

"Go ahead, laugh it up sweetheart." He groaned only to cause them both to laugh loudly upon seeing him. He on the other hand stood up quietly and walked over to Celestia who was still laughing, but paused as she heard him stop next to her. She quietly got to her hooves and grinned triumphantly upward to Midnight before she noticed his smirk.

"What are you smirking at?" She asked giving a slightly confused glare.

"Not much.............. shorty." He snickered seeing her expression change to shock before turning into anger once again.

"Pfffft!" Came a combined, held back laugh from Twilight and Spike together as they attempted to continue to hold it back. Key word being, attempted.

It was still early in the morning when Applejack was pulling her apple cart down the worn dirt path into Ponyville, heading toward the market to sell the Apple Families best to the citizens of the small town. As she rounded the final corner to make a straight shot into the market, she paused and took a step back as a lavender unicorn, black and orange colt Alicorn, and a giggling purple dragon bolted past her, all laughing so hard that they were crying. She pulled her hat from her head to scratch her confused head just before a little white and pink Alicorn bust by her screaming out to the laughing trio.

"COME BACK HERE SO i CAN SEND YOU TO THE MOON!" The little filly yelled as they all vanished into the distance.

Applejack just shook her head in confusion as she replaced her hat onto her head and continued into the marketplace.

"Ah swear, that dern fool's gonna tick off the wrong critter one day an end up in a heap'o trouble. If'n he ain't already." She chuckled as she came to a stop in the market and began to set up her small booth.

After another twenty minutes of laughing and running away from the midget princess. The three had finally come to a halt just outside of Carousel Boutique. Huddle together in a laughing mess and covering their heads with their forelimbs, awaiting a savage beating that the princess was about to give them. However, fate always tends to play around with the ponies of this world, and no sooner had Celestia arrived behind them, horn glowing to administer punishment, when she was unceremoniously pulled by a certain white unicorns magic, right into her awaiting arms as they wrapped around the princess and hugged her into the fashion diva's chest.

"Oh my goodness! Who is this adorable young filly that looks like she is about to rain down a world of pain upon my dear friends!" She squealed out in glee as she pulled the shocked filly away from her to get a good look at her only to pause and elicit a smirk from her as she almost dropped the filly upon realizing who she was.

"PRINCESS?!" She almost shrieked in awe before hearing the three start to giggle from in front of her once again.

"Nope, her new name is shorty." Midnight snickered for a moment before he felt Twilight and Spike quickly jump away from him. Just as he looked up to see why, his frame was hit with a rather intense lightning bolt causing his skeleton to become visible for just a split second before his seered frame let out a black puff of smoke from his mouth. "Ouch."

Rarity looked to the smoking tip of the Sun Princess horn before taking a look at her now smoking stallion turned colt. She turned the grinning filly around, causing her to stop and look worriedly toward the glaring white fashionista as she was quickly floated over to a corner and plopped down into it, facing away from the room she was in.

Turning her vision back to Rarity, the princess spoke up.

"Why am I...." She didn't get to finish as her head was snapped back into her corner while Rarity spoke out in a motherly tone.

"Ah ah aaaaah, You keep your nose in that corner young lady. Singing my dear stallion whle in my presence is not acceptable. You are being punished and will keep your nose in that corner for ten minutes." She stated loudly only to elicit another fit of giggles from Twilight and Midnight. Spike on the other hoof was just smiling at Rarity like he always does.

"And you two will also be punished as well." She spoke up as her magic grabbed the other two and placed them into separate corners of the room away from one another.

"Rarity........... I'm almost as old as you are." Twilight spoke up causing the fashionista to gawk at being called old, only to turn the lavender unicorn around on the spot and place her rump onto the floor rather forcefully.

"You will be punished as well and have an extra couple of minutes added to your time for calling me............ old." Rarity grumbled, giving a shiver of malcontent upon hearing such a word that was being used to describe her.

Well, as the time ticked on, nothing was said as the three ponies accepted their punishment until the time had come when Rarity had called to them to let them know the time had expired. They turned around to see her waving them over to a small table as she was placing a small tray of tea and cookies upon it. Upon seeing one another however, they just lay their ears back and glared, until Rarity cleared her throat, giving a disapproving glare to them. The three looked to each other giving a nervous smile before apologizing to one another and taking a seat at the table.

"Good, now that you've said your sorry to one another, we can have some tea and discuss why not only the princess has somehow turned into a filly." Rarity paused hearing Midnight snicker and snapping her head to him to see him about to bite into a cookie, only to have it snatched away from his maw as he bit down.

"For that, young sir, you will not be eating any cookies." Rarity stated with a snort, placing the cookie onto Celestia's saucer.

"Awwwww." He groaned crossing his hooves in front of him, playing into acting his apparent body's age.

"Now then, would somepony care to explain?" Rarity asked as she glanced around the table only to pause on Celestia as she cleared her throat and began to explain.

After a short explanation, Rarity had been filled in on the current events and found herself giving a slight giggle as well before composing herself upon seeing Celestia glare at her.

"So this was all over your foals not having been taught about how to buck clouds? Don't you think that this was a little drastic darling?" The white unicorn asked Midnight as he gave a sigh.

"Yea, it was a little harsh of a punishment, but now Tia will think more about her children's safety rather than spending all of it on royal duties. I did warn her before we conceived Starlight that she would have to spend more time being a mother rather than a ruler." He stated with a slight grump in his expression.

"You never said I would be punished if I didn't!" Celestia spoke out in shock.

"I didn't intend on punishing you to be honest, but this little event could have cost Marina her life. Your parenting instincts should be in high gear right now and should be making you ready to kill for your children that were in danger." He spat back in an angered tone. Celestia recoiling and bringing her hooves up to in front of her as her eyes threatened to tear up.

"I............ I'm sorry...................... It's just that, I've never done something like being mother before." She spoke out in a hushed tone.

"And I a father............ still though, that shouldn't make you feel so lax on the subject. I worry about my kids every second of every day. Wondering if you are taking care of them, or having your staff do it for you. I will admit that although I do lack the knowledge of being a father. It doesn't mean I would let my children falling willingly into a dangerous situation. I now understand that since neither of us knew about the situation, or what our children were being properly taught, that this situation could not have been avoided. It was bound to happen due to faults on both of our parts, and for that, I am sorry for doing to you, what I did." Midnight stated rather quickly as he looked away in embarrassment.

:Still, that doesn't mean that we can have this little spell cured. We will have to remain this way since one of the ingredients to the counterspell are at a dangerous low." Celestia sighed, thinking of spending the rest of the week as a foal.

"I'm sure everything will work out fine Princess." Twilight smiled as she looked between the two Alicorns.

"Yea, it isn't so bad. I had fun as a little colt from my last transformation. I hung out with the crusaders for most of the time. We got into all types of trouble." Midnight chuckled, thinking back to that point in time.

"Unfortunately, I do not have that luxury. I have a nation to run, and time is not on my side. It is almost noon now, and Luna may be in for more than she can handle." Celestia sighed as she looked toward the window that was facing toward Canterlot.

"How so?" Twilight asked just before Spike let out a loud burp of green flames that quickly turned into a scroll and floated over to the sun princess in her glowing magic.

Celestia unfurled the scroll and gazed upon it, giving an annoyed sigh and rolling her eyes upon reading it. She tossed it over to Twilight who quickly looked it over and gave a worried expression. Midnight, being rather nosy at the moment, snatch it from Twilight's magical grasp and read it aloud.

Dearest sister, please return to the castle and take my place in day court. You failed to mention to me that this session was part of the winter wrap up season change. In turn, causing many of the ponies within the kingdom to request many different things that would need done or replaced due to the winter months damaging many different parts of the city. I have halted day court until you return.

Luna

Midnight tossed the scroll away giving an unamused grunt. "Welp, ah guess that means I've got to help." He groaned as he looked to the Sun Princess who only face hoofed. Twilight giving a sigh as she looked toward the dark Alicorn with an annoyed expression.

"I think you've helped enough." Twilight groaned.
