//------------------------------// // The First Day // Story: Starlight's Friendly Foal Daycare // by Starlight Dash //------------------------------// Starlight's Friendly Foal Daycare The First Day Starlight wasn't one for first impressions nor was she good with ponies socially in general. She began her day by attempting to play with some younger foals, but this was futile as they couldn't understand her and couldn't really play. This led Starlight trying to find ponies old enough to understand her, but they couldn't be fillies. Starlight wanted to avoid the fillies figuring they weren't really into playing. Starlight spits her pacifier out in rage and stomps a hoof "Why is so hard to make friends!" Starlight begins to tear up feeling that line that divided her from other ponies all over again. Vanilla who was talking with other caretakers notices this and walks over. Her expression was blank, curiousity, and a little worry all tied into one. "Hey Starlight what's wrong with my favorite little foal?" Starlight sniffles "No pony will play with me." "Awww poor thing why don't you come over and play with me and the other caretakers?" "Okay." Starlight says rubbing her eyes. Vanilla picks up and takes Starlight over to meet the other caretakers. "Starlight these are my friends. Blue Streak and Sunshine Beauty. Guys this is Starlight the new foal." "Awww she's so cute." Sunshine says getting excited. Sunshine Beauty was a light yellow unicorn with a golden long mane and normal sized tail that gleamed in the light. Her cutie mark was a safety pin. "Yea shes adorable! Your so lucky Vanilla!" Blue Streak replies. Blue Streak was a gray Pegasus with blue gleaming shaggy mane and a sharp looking blue tail. Her cutie mark was a blue pacifier. "You girls mind helping me play with her. She's having trouble with meeting other fillies and foals." "Of course Vanilla! I'm sure me and Blue Streak would love to!" Vanilla takes Starlight with her friends to one corner of the room where they all sit in a circle. Starlight instead of picking a game just bounces in circles now feeling secure and safe in the hooves of older ponies. This continued until a few fillies who seemed to be one of the few playing came up to Vanilla. Starlight ducks behind Vanilla Mash as she sees this. "Miss Vanilla?" "Yes. Do you three need something?" She says turning her attention to the fillies. "We wonder if that pony earlier could come play with us?" Vanilla looks back at Starlight who is still hiding her "You hear that Starlight these nice ponies wanna play with you." Starlight puts her head out more "Pway?" Vanilla scoots the shy foal out more "Go on." Starlight walks over to the young filly not making eye contact. One pony comes over with a ball and nudges it toward Starlight. The shy foal rubs her hoof and begins to walk with the fillies. Starlight eventually warms up to the ponies enough to discover one of the ponies name. She was a yellow unicorn whose name was Sunshine Rose though most called her Rosy. She had a beautiful yellow and purple mane that screamed gorgeous. Rosy and Starlight eventually become tired of playing and sit down on the rug with building blocks. "So how did you end up here?" Starlight asks trying to spell her name. "I just need a little um....relaxation that's the partial reason why I'm here. Why are you here?" "My mommy made me come here." Rosy giggles "Let me guess your mommy is Luna!" Starlight shakes her head "No it's Celestia." "Oh sorry." The two remained silent for awhile till Starlight spoke back up. "So how did you end up in diapers?" Rosy thought back "It wasn't very long ago. I just sorta started wetting the bed and end up in diapers at age 14. I'm out of them now." "Oh sorry to hear that. I was just made this way." "That must stink having to wear them your entire life." "Yea." Vanilla walks over to the foal and filly. "Starlight. Your mommy is here to pick you up!" Starlight jumps up happily "Really! Bye Rosy maybe we can have a playdate sometime!" Rosy waves goodbye as Starlight is guided to the entrance of the nursery. There Celestia stood waiting. "There she is! My favorite little foal!" "Mommy!" Starlight says running up to Celestia and hugging her tightly. "Did you have a good day?" Starlight nods quickly. "I made a new friend! Her name is Sunshine Rose!" "That's great! Now let's go home so you can tell me all about it!" "Ok!" Starlight follows Celestia practically bouncing all the way home. Once they arrive home Starlight races up to her room. Celestia follows not far behind. "Starlight slow down we need to take care of a few things first!" Starlight breaches the door to her room and plops on her bed. Celestia enters and closes the door then walks over to Starlight. "Sit up please and turn around." Starlight does so this resulting in a hoof going down the back of her diaper. "Whoa! What are you doing?!" "Calm down. I'm checking your diaper." Starlight becomes more relaxed as the hoof exits her diaper. Celestia walks over to Starlight's custom changing and gets the needed supplies out. "Alright Starlight hop up!" "You're? Gonna change me?" Starlight chuckles Celestia glares at Starlight. Normally she wasn't fazed by it, but this time for some reason she was terrified. Starlight hops up onto the changing table. Celestia wastes no time getting the old diaper off and discarding it. Starlight shivers as she feels a cold wet disposable cloth come down on her lips. She sighs in relief as the scent of fresh foal powder fills the air. Finally the new diaper was applied and taped up therefore ending the changing. "All done! I'll leave you be." Celestia leave Starlight laying on the changing table. She gets up and walks over to her balcony and stares out over Canterlot. Her eyes focused on one thing. The Friendly Foal Daycare. Whilst her eyes might have been on the daycare, her mind was elsewhere. Starlight was thinking about one pony in particular and that pony was Rosy.
