every foal, a couple of months after they're born, experience a strong surge in magic as their abilities kick in. this leads to tiny little foals able to fly with alarming speed, perform magic tricks they should not be capable of, or exhibit the strength of a full grown stallion. they typically last a month at most, and are fairly easy to manage for most prepared families... alicorn babies, so it seems, are a whole other ball park.





as flurry does too, lucky experiences a MASSIVE surge in magical abilities at a very young age. being an alicorn, she doesnt just exhibit one of these traits - she experiences ALL OF THEM. AT ONCE. and, being so overflowing with magic she cant rlly control, this surge lasted a lot longer than just a month. flurry experienced about 6 months of magical surges, while lucky closer to a year.







that year was hardly a calm one in the sparkle household, must be said. neither of their experiences with their two previous foals could help them with this. for being so breatly coloured, lucky was very good at hiding in plain sight with invisibility spells, conveniently placed clouds, and literally lifting her cot up by herself and hiding under it. when her parents weren't dashing about madly trying to find her, they were trying to keep up with her. being so op made it all the more easier for her to steal cookies from the cookie jar, zip off to the park alone, and stay up way past bedtime with a blockade against the door. rainbow swears she's lost many years off her life just from lucky's frequent exploits.





they tried to "magic proof" the house, but all spells written and all products are marketed to ordinary unicorn, pegasus or earth pony foals - not alicorn foals, whose magical abilities far extend the average filly or colt. all they had to go on were their own diy projects, as well as any tips from shining armour or cadence (who were secretly enjoying someone else experiencing their pain. oh how the tables have turned)
