Plot synopsis: Flutterhy invites Rainbow Dash to her home under the pretenses of having some important news to tell her. When Dash arrives, the shy pegasus reveals her desire to become a mother and have a little foal to take care of. Fluttershy then offers her friend a drink of ''gummyade'' and demonstrates the lullaby she sang to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. While listening, Rainbow Dash discovers too late that the drink was drugged, and wakes up some time later strapped to a table in a darkened room decorated up like a nursery, but with all the trappings and toys sized up to adult pony scale. Fluttershy then reappears and informs Dash that ''she will be her new baby''. While Dash struggles against her restraints, Fluttershy calmly gets out four bondage booties decorated to look like baby booties and an adult diaper. She forces the diaper on Dash and unbinds the tomboy from the straps on the table. Upon trying to escape, Dash finds herself inexplicably too weak to fly.

* [[Affably Evil]]: Fluttershy still acts '''just''' like her canon self through everything in these fics.

* [[All Take and No Give]]: Taken to psychotic levels.

* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: Foalmula. A chemical that someone unravels the adult mind and sends you back to infancy.

** Crosses into [[Artistic License Chemistry]] and [[Chemistry Can Do Anything]].

* [[Evil Mentor]]: {{spoiler|What Fluttershy becomes to Scootaloo in the "good" ending.}}

* [[Evil Virtues]]: In this case, the rarely used '''Love'''. Fluttershy just ''loves'' her little babies, and would do absolutely ''anything'' to keep them.

* [[A Fate Worse Than Death]]: Some readers have commented they'd rather be [[Cupcakes|cupcaked]].

** To eliborate on that, this means that readers would rather be slowly and sadistically dismembered than have this happen to them!

** [[Genius Bonus]]: The formula regresses the mind to that of a baby. A baby's mind works fundamentally different from that of an older pony, among other things, memories are stored differently. When growing up, the way memories are stored changes, and those earliest memories are no longer consciously accessible. That's why you don't remember anything about being a baby.

* [[Left for Dead]]: Dash from a psychological standpoint. First by Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity, and Zecora. {{spoiler|Later by Scootaloo, who actually set off the gas in her chamber}}.

* [[Love Makes You Crazy]] and [[Love Makes You Evil]]: It certainly had this effect on the shy one.

* [[Lured Into a Trap]]: Well, yeah.

* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: As if you didn't know.

* [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]: Dash could have avoided this whole mess on account of one thing. She was happily napping on a cloud beforehand and only woke herself to go see Fluttershy, ''because she's a good friend''.

* [[Not Himself]]: anyone under the effects of foalmula.

* [[Obliviously Evil]]: Fluttershy doesn't seem to get why anything she does could be considered wrong.

** Dash falls under the effects of [[Instant Sedation]] and wakes up tied to a table.

** Fluttershy calls for Pinke to bring cupcakes in one ending of ''Part Two''.

* [[Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror]]: Despite being a parody, it is ''firmly'' Horror Dominant.

* [[Slipping a Mickey]]: How Dash is taken captive to begin with.

* [[Stockholm Syndrome]]: If there's a better explanation of Scootaloo's behaviour in the "good" ending, we don't want to hear it.

* [[Strapped to An Operating Table]]: Well, to a changing table, but still.

* [[Team Killer]]: Not in a physical sense, but Dash is rendered absolutely incapable of functioning as the Element of Loyalty anymore. So here's hoping Equestria never needs those girls again.

* [[Torture Cellar]]: Done [[Saw]]-style, too!

* [[Troll Fic]]: the author has admitted that ''Pattycakes'' is this, and is quite pleased with the horrified reactions it has gotten.

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: Crosses straight into [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]] for poor Dash.

* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: A whole ''land'' of happy little babies for Fluttershy to mother!

* [[Vasquez Always Dies]]: It just wouldn't a [[Cupcakes]]-style [[Fanfic]] without this trope in play. In a manner of speaking, Dash ''does'' die. Her mind is permanently destroyed by the end of ''Part Two'', meaning that the Dash that was is no more and never will be again.

* [[Waking Up Elsewhere]]: Dash, who passes out in 'Shy's living room, and wakes up strapped to a changing table.

** {{spoiler|Scootaloo, who is clobbered over the head, and wakes up in a box. On top of a row of shelves. In the basement/dungeon. Yeah.}}
