MLP: The Baby Chronicles

The Sequel to The Wedding Chronicles

Prologue

In the dark of the Everfree Forest, she was very weak and frail… but that did not stop her from her quest to seek the youth she desired so. She was an ordinary, old, nearly worn unicorn for now, but once she gained the beauty of the young, then she would gain back much of her own beauty… But as much as she can pick off other lovely ponies, she knew she needed a more powerful source to feed her need…

On a bright sunny day brought by Celestia, the Children of the Six, or sometimes called the Children of Harmony, were playing by the castle while inside, their mothers were hard at work in the throne room.

"Okay, we can-" but Twilight was interrupted by the cheering and yelling, "One second…" she moved to the balcony, looked down to see them, and shouted out, "Kids! I'm sorry, but can you please go somewhere? We really busy and need the concentration."

"Okay, Mom!" Fire Spark shouted up to her. She gave a nod of approval and went back inside.

"Aw, we're this close to finding out who would have won!" Hail Storm flapped.

"Now what are we going to do?" Apple Shield asked.

"I know!" Butter Ball jumped, "We can go to…"

Moments later, they were standing outside… "The Everfree Forest!" they all shouted out.

"I don't know about this…" Perplexity gulped.

"Did you see a vision?" Dignity asked her while looking at her cutie mark that had an eye, but with a crystal ball as the iris.

"Luckily, no…" she answered.

"Then there's no problem!" Hail Storm flew above them and went to the border.

"We really shouldn't be doing this…" Starling notified.

"Oh, you worry too much, Star!" Zany wrapped his tail around her.

"And you don't worry enough!" she pulled back from him.

"Okay, lovebirds. Cool it." Screw Ball teased.

"Lovebirds?!" they both looked at her with angry red faces.

"But my sister did make a good point. We shouldn't even be here." said Fire.

"Come on, Fire! Where's your sense of adventure?!" Apple Jewel put her hoof around him.

Screwy smirked, "Back in the castle curled next to a book."

He glared at her, "It is not! I'll have you know I do dream of excitement every once in a while! And to prove it…" he stomped into the forest. Everyone else slowly followed behind him.

She could almost feel it… She was so close to tasting it… She felt the presence of a group of youths whose power was unlike she ever felt… The question is, what made these beings so… compelling…?

"There!" Twilight checked off the list, "All done! I hereby commence the council to dismiss!"

They gave sighs of relief and started heading out. Twilight thought, Time to bring the kids in… But once she and the girls were outside, they saw no trace of them.

Rainbow sped in, saying, "I looked all over town! They're not there!"

Worry filled Twilight and she called out to her husband, "Flash!"

Flash went from his post to answer his wife's cry, "What happened?"

"Have you seen where the kids went?"

"Can't say that I have… I must've been on the other side of the castle when they were gone."

"I told them to go somewhere else to play…" she pondered.

Then, she and the rest of the Mane Six thought with horror, "You don't think…" and they turned their heads to the direction of the Everfree Forest.

"Oh, no… Flash, round up the guys! Tell them our kids could be in trouble!"

With a determined look, he set off to do her bidding.

The kids walked straight ahead looking at the never-ending green scenery.

Fire Spark spoke as he was leading the way, "Now, if I remember my mother's stories about the Elements of Harmony, the Castle of the Two Sisters should be along this path."

"But isn't that where the Pony of Shadows live?" Apple Jewel questioned, "My mom told me that tale of it living there."

"Well, my mom told me that no pony ever comes out of this forest… Oooo…" Hail Storm used an eerie tone.

"Uh, if no pony ever comes out, then how did our mothers get away with it?" pointed out Screw Ball.

"Ah…" Hail was at loss for words.

"It just goes to show…" Fire gestured, "That nothing is true about this place."

"Except… for the Timberwolves…" Apple Shield quaked.

"Fortunately, they're on the other side of the forest this part of the season." Starling reassured him.

"I hope you're right…"

"Star…" Zany came up to them.

"Yes?" she said.

"I… I want to apologize, for…"

She put her hoof to his mouth and shushed him, "No need. And well, you were kind of right. I do worry too much…"

"But for good reasons… but that's what I like about yo- um, that you always think ahead…"

"Well, um, thanks… And I could never replace your carefree nature…" she slightly blushed, turning away so he didn't see.

He smiled at her while Screw Ball checked behind to see the three younger kids walking side by side. She went to her own friends, saying, "Those three remind me of us when we were little." she pointed to them.

Fire looked and smiled, "They sure do…"

Apple Jewel also grinned, "Makes sense. They have been friends since they were babies just like we were."

"Yup," Screwy agreed, "Been best friends ever since…"

They kept on walking, not noticing the pair of eyes watching them…
