Fluttershy sighs and shakes her head, but does manage to pull Twilight back onto the bed.
"Well first thing's first, Twilight," she says, keeping one hand on Twilight's shoulder while the other reaches into her bag. "You can forget about that potion for now, and I have proof of that right here," she pulls out a scroll bearing Celestia's royal seal. Fluttershy proceeds to pop it open and starts to read.
"Ahem, My Dearest Twilight. Your friends have told me of how hard you've been overworking yourself on the sleep potion I requested. While I am of course always impressed by your work ethic and determination, I never intended for you to push yourself into such a state. As such, as your mentor and senior Princess I hereby order you to take an entire week off and am placing you in the care of your friend Fluttershy as your temporary Royal Nurse. I therefore expect you to listen to all she has to say and push the potion out of your mind for now. Rest assure the sleep potion can wait until you have had sufficient time to rest and recover. Sincerely, Celestia," Fluttershy clears her throat again and lowers the letter, expecting that Twilight might want to look it over for herself. She then takes another deep breath as she realizes now she has to answer as to why Twilight is dressed that way.
"As to your other question, I put you in those clothes," Fluttershy says, the tiniest blush to her cheeks. "You've been working yourself to near death Twilight. As your Royal Nurse, temporary or not, I decided the best way to get you to recover would be to make sure you don't have to do a single thing for yourself this week and have the most peaceful experience you can. And what's more relaxing and peaceful than a week as a foal? I'll take care of you every need for the next seven days," Fluttershy explains and starts to smile, hoping that this will help Twilight see where she's coming from.
