You know… with your little problem…” Rainbow Dash asked as she helped Scootaloo pack her bag for the sleep over. The sun was shining into the room onto the two of them; Scootaloo had just got back from school and it was a lovely Friday afternoon in the off white cloud they both called home. “R-Rainbow! Don’t talk about it other ponies could be listening.” Scootaloo said looking around quickly. Rainbow looked at Scootaloo and let out a quiet giggle “Scootaloo…we are three thousand hooves in the sky, nopony is listening.” She said as she picked up a night gown and looked at it. “Now the only reason you’d want to pack this… because I know you hate them…” The orange filly nodded in agreement. “Yeah I don’t like them but it covers my… You know..” Scootaloo said smiling nervously. She was excited for her first sleepover at Sweetie Belle’s house. She sighed. “Do I really have to wear them Dash? I don’t always wet the cloud…” She whined hoping her sister would cave under the pressure of her whines. Scootaloo’s eyes were locked on a small package situated near Rainbow Dash. Sighing, Rainbow looked at Scootaloo, then down at the bag they were packing, then back to Scootaloo. “Yes, you do… you wouldn’t want to… uhm… make Sweetie’s bed a mess would you?” She asked, knowing that would be a jab at Scootaloo’s pride, but the only real way she could convince the filly. Blushing the filly looked at her big sister. “H-Hay! I wouldn’t make a mess of my best friends bed, pack the stupid d-d-diapers!” Scootaloo huffed with a small hmph. Rainbow lifted the small package of diapers into the bag and then proceeded to pack several other supplies. “You gonna be able to get them on yourself?” She asked. “Yeah I totally can! Jeeze Dash I’m not a little foal any more.” Scootaloo said trying to sound proud, her tone betraying her true feelings. She shifted uneasily in her seat on the cloud bed where she sat. “Thereo-thero-theriatically speaking what if I can’t?” she asked sounding smug at her usage of the new word. Rainbow smiled slightly, and stopped packing as she sat down next to Scootaloo on the bed. “I remember, a small distraught filly sitting on their bed, guarding a small package, reluctantly asking for help the first night she got here. Scootaloo, if you can’t do it on your own, you can ask Sweetie’s mom or dad, they won’t make fun of you, they’ll understand, just like I did.” She reached a hoof over and ruffled the filly’s mane. “W-Well Sweetie said her Mom and Dad are going on a trip to the Crystal Empire this weekend. So Rarity is going to watch us. I don’t want to ask her for help, she might try to baby me or something!” Scootaloo protested sounding a little upset. Another giggle came from the cyan mare’s muzzle. “Scoots, let me tell you a little secret, last time I slept over at Rarity’s, I drank a little too much apple cider before bed and I accidentally had an accident, accidentally of course, Rarity did not make fun of me, and I am certain she won’t make fun of you for trying to keep yourself all dry at night, because wearing those on a sleepover is the bravest thing, I think you could do right now.” Rainbow smiled at her. “Now come on, let’s finish packing, you have to be there in an hour.” Scootaloo smiled and hugged her sister tightly. “You really think I’m brave for wearing the diapers Rainbow Dash?” She asked hopping down from her bed, Scootaloo looked around her room once more seemingly searching for something but not wanting to ask for it. She shrugged her small shoulders and continued pacing in excitement. “Oh I’m so excited!” Rainbow smiled and returned to packing Scootaloo’s bag, looking through it she frowned slightly. “Scootaloo…?” Rainbow asked. “Uh-huh?” Rainbow smiled as she faced away from Scootaloo, picking up a small object off of the bed. “I think somepony is going to miss you when you’re gone.” Scootaloo giggled happily. “Rainbow! I’m only going to be gone for the weekend, I’ll miss hanging with my big sister but we’ve got crusading to do!” Rainbow smiled and turned around pouncing on the small filly until she lay on top of her on the floor as she tickled her, smiling as she used her free hoof to move a small plush Wonderbolt near Scootaloo’s face. “No, I think Spitfire will miss you.” Rainbow said as she used her wings to tickle the fillies chest. “Hehe st-stop it R-Rainbow! T-That tickles!” Scootaloo said through her fits of laughter, she grabbed the Spitfire plush and cuddled it tight to her chest. Whew! I almost forgot Spitzy! After the two pegasi had finished their tickle fight Scootaloo thanked Dash. “Thanks Rainbow, I almost forgot her.” She smiled and looked at her Wonderbolt themed clock. “It’s already four thirty?! Rainbow we have to hurry I can’t be late for my first sleepover at Sweetie’s place!” Scootaloo said trotting in place nervously, her small purple tail flicking back and forth in anticipation. I wouldn’t have even packed Spitzy if Dash hadn’t mentioned it. I don’t want the girls to think I’m silly for sleeping with a plushie. Rainbow smiled and let the orange filly free from under her, allowing her to breathe. “I know you can’t sleep at all without her.” Rainbow said teasing as she put the plush into the bag and zipped it up. “Is that everything? Or do you need something else?” “Did you pack my…” Scootaloo gulped and looked around nervously still convinced somepony could hear them “M-My diapers? And my Tooth brush? And my brush?” She asked one question after another, not letting Rainbow answer the first one. “Yes I did, your toothbrush is in the side pocket with your toothpaste and your brush is in the other side pocket, your… diapers are in the middle with the rest of the important stuff.” Rainbow paused for a moment. “I made sure to pack your favorite silly filly pink, pegasus foal printed ones that you like so much, you know the ones with the butterfly wetness indicators...” Rainbow replied, unsure if Scootaloo would be mad that she even brought it up. Scootaloo blushed bright pink but cracked a smile. “D-Dash… I like the Wonderbolt ones! R-Remember?” She said trying to convince Rainbow that she didn’t like things that were especially fillyish, although her bed spread was light pink in colour. “B-But thanks I like those ones too. Can we go now?” She asked sounding a little impatient now. “I can’t wait for Sweetie to style my ma-” Scootaloo face hooved. “U-Uhm you didn’t hear that!” Rainbow smiled. “We can’t go yet, I need to pack something else for you now.” Rainbow giggled as she unzipped the bag and reached under the bed to pull out another pack of diapers, this one with a Wonderbolts logo on the side, still equally pink and frilly as the others. Rainbow placed the pack in the bag and then trotted over to a small, seemingly underused, vanity and picked up a shiny pink ribbon, carrying it over to the bag and placing it inside before zipping it up. “Since you you like your mane styled so much.” Rainbow teased as she lifted the small purple and pink bag over her head and started to the door of the bedroom. “I think you would be more concerned that your bag is frilly than things that nopony is even going to see.” “It’s so not frilly! It’s purple like my mane! A-And Sweetie told me pink goes with purple. Her sister is the fashion pony remember?” Scootaloo asked following Rainbow Dash out of her bedroom. “Suuure she did squirt, just like she told you that the one colt liked you, oh well though, it’s not like that was your idea.” Rainbow teased again as they walked down the stairs. “Shame I don’t remember his name, I really want to tease you some more.” “H-He has a name, It’s R-Rumble!” Scootaloo corrected her big sister blushing as she did. “A-And I don’t like him that much anymore. E-Even if he has cute wings.” “Awww my little sis has a crush on a colt~ Scoots and Rumble sitting on a cloud...” Rainbow teased as she burst into laughter, unable to even finish the sentence as they made it to the front door. “I never tease you when you take those silly romance books from Twilight’s library.” Scootaloo huffed. The grin on Rainbow’s face disappeared. “H-how do you know about that!?” “I saw them on your night stand when you told me to get your mane brush.” Scootaloo responded giggling. “If you don’t tell anypony, I won’t tell anypony. Deal?” “Okay I won’t…Deal” Rainbow paused for a moment. “But you still like a colt~” “Y-Yeah well… You’re a plot head!” Scootaloo said in a childish manner. “Scootaloo! What did I tell you about saying that word.” Rainbow scolded as she opened the front door, gesturing for Scootaloo to jump onto her back. The small filly climbed onto the cyan mare’s back, wrapping her hooves around Rainbow’s neck. “Sorry Rainbow Dash.” Scootaloo apologized sounding sincere as she snuggled up to her sister. “Let’s go! Please?” Rainbow smiled and spread her wings taking off. “Okay, but you still like a colt.” She commented as they flew down to the surface. Scootaloo chose to ignore the teasing this time as they flew down to the earth below. “Oh look, look!” She shouted in excitement, a tiny orange hoof pointing to a yellow and orange blob below. “It’s Apple Bloom and Applejack!” Rainbow swooped down over the two and landed just in front of them. “Hay AJ, hay Apple Bloom, on your way to Sweeties I take it?” She asked as she started to trot next to them, Scootaloo still on her back. “Rainbow~” Scootaloo whined looking down at her red maned earth pony friend. “Can’t I walk like a big pony?” “Nah, Scoots, you don’t want to wear yourself out before you get there do you?” Rainbow teased, making sure Scootaloo was stuck on her back by moving her wings in a way that prevented her from jumping off. “Heya there Dash! Hi Scoot, ya finish all yer homework?” Applejack asked the small pegasus filly with a grin. “Apple Bloom said ya had a big project coming up.” She said with a chuckle. “We don’t have a project comin’ up sis!” Apple Bloom protested glaring at the larger earth pony. “Scootaloo did ya bring everything ya need? Yer bag is awful big.” “I totally did! Did you bring the bonsai trees?” Scootaloo asked Apple Bloom grinning. Rainbow tilted her head confused. “Bonsai trees? What in Equestria, do you need bonsai tree’s for? “CUTIE MARK CRUSADER BONSAI TREE ARTISTS!” Both Apple Bloom and Scootaloo chimed in unison. Rainbow’s ears fell to the side of her head as Scootaloo shouted in her ear. “The next thing you know, they’ll be trying to use tree sap and cut off mane and tail fur to grow moustaches to get cutie marks, wouldn’t that be something AJ?” She asked giggling to herself. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom looked down guiltily, the earth pony filly scuffing the earth with a hoof before speaking. “We ah tried that once.” She said quickly, the strange look from Applejack making her blush. “What?! Ah thought it was a good idea. Better than bee keeper cutiemarks.” “You… I… I don’t even…” Rainbow said baffled as she suddenly burst into laughter. “Too bad there aren’t any pictures of that, I bet it looked hilarious.” Applejack chuckled softly. “Too bad Dash, we could have had our little sisters doing-” “Ah knew Cutie Mark Crusader photo album keepers was a bad idea. Scootaloo ya got rid of those pictures right?” “Uh… Sure…” Scootaloo responded a little too quickly, hoping her sister wouldn’t look in her own closet for the photo album in question. “If by got rid of you mean hid in some place really awesome.” “My closet?” Rainbow teased, not even knowing it was the truth. “W-Wha? H-How?” Scootaloo sputtered in shock. “Wait… is it? Is it really in my closet?” Rainbow asked, starting to giggle, a mischievous grin appearing on her face. “Well then, you better not misbehave…” “I won’t I promise!” Scootaloo said her eyes twinkling mischievously. “We promise we won’t destroy the house.” She said giggling as they trotted up the path. Sweetie Belle’s house came into a view, two voices could be heard arguing loudly through an open window. “Oh jeeze ah hope they aren’t deciding to be un-sisters again.” Apple Bloom said shaking her head at the sound of the filly and mare arguing. “Ah said one day!” She said laughing. “Oh you can’t just stop being sisters with somepony.” Rainbow said looking back at Scootaloo who was now comfortably resting on her back. “Right Scoots?” “Huh? What? Sorry Rainbow I wasn’t paying attention.” Scootaloo said her mind up in the clouds. What if they find out I have to wear diapers to bed? What if they don’t want me to be a Cutie Mark Crusader any more? What if Rarity doesn’t know how to put a diaper on a filly?! Her mind was racing with the thoughts of things that could go wrong. “Scootaloo? Are you okay? I asked you if I was right, that you can’t just stop being sisters with somepony.” Dash said, concerned for her little sister. “Oh uhm y-yeah I’m okay.” Scootaloo said her voice cracking a little. She whispered in Rainbow’s ear nervously. “R-Rainbow… Does Rarity know about my…?” She sniffled quietly the thought of her friends laughing at her running through her small brain. Rainbow slowed down slightly as Applejack and Apple Bloom trotted ahead, she spoke quietly. “She doesn’t, but you can tell her anything Scootaloo, I trust her, she won’t tell anypony, she doesn’t know because you said not to tell anypony, so I didn’t.” Scootaloo smiled and hugged Rainbow Dash’s neck. “Thanks Rainbow Dash, you’re the bestest ever!” She said brightening up as Rainbow washed away her fears. ‘Love you too Scoots’  Rainbow thought to herself as they caught back up with Applejack and Apple Bloom. “Everything alright with Scoot, Rainbow Dash?” Applejack asked sounding a little concerned for the orange pegasus filly. “Yeah everything is fine AJ, we were just looking at some of the cloud formations is all, the pegasus ponies today decided to make them more awesome looking, It was my idea to make a lightning bolt shaped one.” Rainbow responded pointing a hoof up to a lightning bolt shaped cloud. “Wow that’s pretty cool Rainbow Dash! How do ya and the other pegasis do that?” Apple Bloom asked trying to ignore the angry squeaks and shouts coming from Sweetie’s open window. She giggled as she shouted, “Ah said one day Sweetie! AJ is mah sister!” “Really Sweetie if you just let me style your mane you could have any colt you wanted!” “Sounds like Rarity is trying to get Sweetie Belle another colt friend.” Dash said with a giggle. “Doesn’t Sweetie think colts are ‘icky’ still?” “Well she kinda does but I think she likes fillies. Sweetie is always trying to do my mane or paint my hooves, even when we’re playing dolls!” Scootaloo said giggling at the thought of her friend likeing fillies instead of colts. “Rainbow don’t you dare tell anypony about my dolls either!” Rainbow burst out laughing. “I don’t need to, Apple Bloom and AJ are right here next to us, remember?” She said with another laugh. “Aw shucks Scootaloo why are embarrassed about the dolls? We’re only..” Apple Bloom stopped on the road quietly counting her numbers to herself. “We’re only like nine!” “Unsure about your age there Apple Bloom? ‘only like nine’ Sure about that?” Rainbow asked teasingly. “Ah don’t like fancy mathematics! It’s all what’s ‘five eighths and two tenths’ ah don’t know what any of that stuff means!” “You’ll learn eventually.” Rainbow said as the four of them approached the door to the house, greeted by yelling coming from the other side. “Uh… you first…” Rainbow said to Applejack. “No way there sugarcube, you go on in first. Ah have to talk to Apple Bloom about behaving real good for Rarity.” The farm pony said motioning for Rainbow Dash to go first. “Ain’t that right AB?” “Ah already told ya AJ, ah won’t track pine needles and sap onto the carpets.” Apple Bloom protested grinning at her pegasus friend. “Remember this isn’t Rarity’s boutique, I mean, don’t track stuff in but… I think their parents are kinda expecting things to end up a mess, after all, three fillies, alone for most of the weekend… what are they expecting?” Dash asked with a grin on her face. “Well ah guess you bring up a good point Dash. Alright you two, ah want you on your best behaviour. That means no sneaking out like you did at Fluttershy’s cottage. Got that girls?” Applejack asked the pair of fillies as she knocked knocked on the front door of Sweetie’s house. “Coming!” A squeaky voice shouted from behind the door. The sound of hooves on a wooden floor could be heard before the door flew open, revealing a small white coated filly with a two toned purple mane. “Scootaloo! Apple Bloom!” Sweetie Belle shouted jumping up and down. “Are you ready for the sleepover?!” “Yeah totally ready! I bet we’re going to find our cutie marks tonight or tomorrow night!” Scootaloo said forgetting about her embarrassing night time problem for the time being. She pointed at the ground with a hoof. “Rainbow, we’re at Sweetie’s house now can I get down?” “Well alriiight~.” Rainbow said teasingly letting Scootaloo down off of her back and slipping the saddleback onto Scootaloo, she leaned down to the filly’s level. “Well I think I should get going before I get in the way of your crusading.” She paused and quickly brought Scootaloo into a very weak hug, really only bringing her close so she could whisper into her ear. “Don’t forget to put on your-” “Rainbow!” Scootaloo hissed. “I’m not going to forget, okay?” “Okay, okay.  Have a nice time Scoots, remember if you need anything Rarity is going to be there, so don’t you worry about a thing, I have to go, making a surprise for when you get home.” Rainbow said cryptically before looking up at Applejack. “Well don’t just stand there Apple Bloom go bring your stuff inside.” Applejack said distracting the other two foals. Rainbow silently thanked her orange friend for the distraction as she quickly pulled Scootaloo close and nuzzled her. “You have fun, love ya kid.” She whispered to Scootaloo before spreading her wings and taking off, a prismatic trail of colours emanating from behind her until she disappeared off into the distance. Scootaloo waved her hooves at Dash as she flew out of sight. She turned facing her two friends a devious grin on her muzzle. “Let’s get crusading girls!” The orange filly said enthusiastically as Sweetie Belle led her and Apple Bloom inside. They followed the little white filly down the hall and past what appeared to be Rarity’s old room.”Wow Sweetie how can you have so many dollies and always know which one to play with?” Scootaloo asked looking in awe at the vast collection of both plush dolls and regular ones. Apple Bloom giggled. “Ah didn’t know ya liked ‘dollies’ Scoots, ah thought you were too cool for them?” “Aw come on Apple Bloom you know I was joking! I always have my Spitfire plushie when I’m staying away from home. You both know I like to sleep cuddling with it! And Rainbow Dash says she used to do the same thing when she was my age.” Scootaloo explained to her closest friends. “I sleep with plushies too! I have a lot!” Sweetie squeaked pointing to what looked like a pile of stuffed animals until the other two fillies realized there was a bed under it. “Sweetie how the hay do you sleep on there?!” Apple Bloom asked dumbstruck at the collection of plushies. “And ah thought you had a lot of stuff at Rarity’s place!” As if on cue the purple maned unicorn trotted into the room. “I just do!” Sweetie giggled and frowned slightly as Rarity entered the room. “I told you I cleaned the kitchen already!” she said protesting before Rarity could even speak. Rarity blinked a few times then facehoofed. “Sweetie Belle I was going to ask if you wanted some lemonade.” “Nu-uh! Not after last time!” Sweetie said cringing at the memory. “It wasn’t lemonade girls… it wasn’t lemonade.” “Ah don’t even wanna know Sweetie.” Apple Bloom said shuddering at the thought. “Uh… Rarity… can I talk to you for a moment, uh… Rainbow wanted me to tell you something! Yeah! That’s it! She said it was private!” Scootaloo said shuffling her hooves on the floor nervously. “Oh are you okay Scootaloo?” Rarity asked looking at the filly with a concerned look on her muzzle. She led the orange filly down the hall to her own bedroom. Rarity patted her bed motioning for Scootaloo to sit down. Scootaloo sat down on the bed next to Rarity. “Rarity… I uhm… w-well… I… uh…” She stumbled over her words until Rarity stopped her. “It’s okay Scootaloo you can tell me what’s wrong. I’m one of your sisters best friends after all.” Rarity said in a comforting tone. “Now what’s so secret you can’t tell your best friends?” The white mare inquired of the small pegasus. “I…” Scootaloo paused and looked around the room to make sure nopony else was looking, she then took off her saddlebag and placed it next to her on the bed, opening it slowly and gesturing to the small packages inside. “I… I h-have a n-nightime p-prob-blem…” she said quietly. “A-and I c-can’t control i-it.” Slowly she reached into the bag pulling one of the packages part of the way out. “S-so I have t-to w-wear th-these a-at night a-a-and I d-d-d-d-d-don’t w-w-want th-the o-other g-g-g-girls t-t-to know I a-a-a-a-am n-not c-c-c-c-cool.” Tears slowly started to build up in the orange filly’s eyes as she tried to explain her embarrassing problem. Rarity decided not to speak, instead she hugged the filly and gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief she retrieved from her night stand. “Now Scootaloo there is nothing to be ashamed of!  Honestly lots of fillies and colts your age have the same problem. You are very brave wearing diapers to a sleep over. You don’t mind if I call them that do you? I can call them your special night supplies?” She asked trying to cheer the filly up. “One more question for you, do you need help putting them on Darling?” Scootaloo blushed a deep shade of red. “I uh…N-no! I don’t! I d-d-d-don’t n-need a-any h-help!” she protested. “A-a-a-and d-d-d-don’t c-c-c-call th-them d-diapers… I… I d-d-don’t w-want the others t-to know… s-so d-d-don’t c-c-call them th-that… a-atleast n-not when the girls c-can hear…” “Honestly dear if you need help it’s no trouble at all. I used to change Sweetie Belle’s diapers all the time when she was just a little foal. It’s no trouble at all, I’ll just pop in before you get into your pajamas and come get you.” Rarity said smiling at the little orange filly. “Now I’m sure the girls are getting concerned about what we’re talking about, so lets put your stuff away until later okay?” “O-ok-kay… B-b-but I c-c-c-an d-do it m-myself.” Scootaloo said quickly pushing the package back into her bag and covering it with several objects before sealing the bag and placing it into it’s place on her back, before anything could be said a crash was heard from the other room followed by a screech. “We better go see what that was.” Rarity said sounding a little frightened as she casually placed the pegasus filly on her back and galloped to Sweetie’s room. “Sweetie what in Celestia’s name are you doing in here?!” “Kill it! Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!” Sweetie shouted covering her head with her hooves as she sat on top of her mountain of plushies pointing one of her free hooves at Applebloom who was chasing a spider. “Ah’m working on it Sweetie just calm down and climb down from your mountain!” Apple Bloom shouted back chasing a small spider around the room with a broom held firmly in her mouth. “It’s just a spider! Jeeze you two need to calm down!” Scootaloo shouted at them. “A S-Spider?! G-Get it Apple Bloom! Kill it!” Rarity shouted joining Sweetie on the mountain of plush dolls. The two sisters held onto each other as the yellow earth pony filly chased the small spider around the room. “Ah got it!” Apple Bloom said triumphantly dropping the broom and dustpan onto the floor. “Ya’ll are silly, it’s just a teeny tiny little spider. What did ya have to talk to Rarity about Scoots?” The yellow filly asked her friend smiling. “Uh… uh… a th-thing… a-at a place...” Scootaloo said quickly. Rarity cut Scootaloo off with a gentle shushing noise. “It was about her big sister Rainbow Dash, she needs me to watch Scootaloo next weekend.” She said winking slyly at Scootaloo. “Y-yeah! That’s it!” Scootaloo said quickly. “But…” Sweetie Belle climbed down off of her mountainous pile of plushies. “...We were suppose to crusade next weekend! We can’t do that if you’re with my big sister!” She whined. “Sweetie, Mother and Father are travelling again next weekend. You’ll be staying with me at the boutique.” Rarity said desperately trying to diffuse the potential situation at hoof. “But Mommy and Daddy didn’t tell me that!” The white filly protested. “They said it was just this weekend!” “W-Well they wanted it to be a surprise! They were going to bring you a nice souvenir back from Trottingham this time.” Rarity smiled and let out a sigh of relief. “Besides don’t you want to spend some more time with your big sister?” She fluttered her eyelashes at Sweetie. Sweetie let out a high pitched, squeaky ‘hmph’ sound. “But we always fight!” “Well then don’t play dress up with my clothes! They are for clients Sweetie Belle, not for your amusement.” The purple maned mare huffed turning away from the crusaders. “Now I’m going to make some tea and relax, try to stay out of trouble.” Scootaloo took a breath and took her saddlebag off again, this time placing it next to the door to Sweetie’s room. “I… I’m just going to leave this here. Please don’t go through my stuff girls, Rainbow Dash packed it all really nice… c-cause… yeah, that works!” Apple Bloom giggled. “Are you trying tah hide something Scoots? Oh girls that gives me an idea for our cutie marks! What if we tried to be Cutie Mark Crusader Mystery solvers?!” She asked looking at Sweetie and Scootaloo grinning. “Yeah! That sounds like an super duper idea Apple Bloom!” Sweetie Chirped. “Our first case can be what’s in Scootaloo’s bag!” Apple Bloom teased walking toward the orange pegasus filly’s saddle bag. Scootaloo instantly dived onto her bag. “No! D-do-don’t l-look in my bag! I… uh…” The filly stammered to come up with an excuse. “I have a birthday present! For you and Sweetie in there…Y-yeah! A-and I had to ask Rarity to make sure… of something! Yeah! That’s why I brought them! P-please d-don’t s-spoil the surprise!” She said frantically. “I worked really hard with Rainbow Dash to get them!” The small orange filly mentally gave herself a pat on the back for her quick thinking. “Oh well now ah can’t wait for my birthday party!” The yellow earth pony shouted happily. “Now what else can we do to get our cutie marks in mystery solving? Sweetie Belle you’re usually good at getting ideas, got any? How about you Scoots?” “I think we should investigate Button!” Sweetie said happily before looking back and forth at her two friends, blushing a shade of crimson red. “Wh-what?! You’ve never wanted to investigate a colt before?” “E-Ewww! That’s weird Sweetie, Button’s weird!” Scootaloo said giggling. “All he does is play those silly video games all the time, he doesn’t even care about his cutie mark!” “Yes but he’s cute!” Sweetie said, quickly blushing again. “You girls are silly, come one lets go play outside. Maybe we’ll find something good to investigate!” The earth pony filly said bouncing up and down at the prospect of being outside in the warm afternoon sun. “Last one there gets kissed by Snails!” Apple Bloom shouted heading for the bedroom door. “I’d rather be kissed by Button!” Sweetie said quickly chasing after Apple Bloom “Wait up!” she called out. “I don’t wanna be kissed by Snails!” “Well hurry it up Sweetie!” Scootaloo called chasing after Apple Bloom. I hope Sweetie doesn’t look in my bag…  “I’m coming! My legs are shorter than yours!” Sweetie said as she chased after them, almost tripping every few steps as she tried to keep up with them. “This is easier on the wagon when you pull it with your scooter Scootaloo!” “Well I could pull you through the house if I had my scooter, and if your sister wouldn’t get mad at us. Like last time.” Scootaloo said stopping to let her unicorn friend catch up. “Deep breaths Sweetie.” She teased the breathless white unicorn. “I A-*breath*-am t-t-t-try-*breath*-ing!” Sweetie said stopping in her tracks as she stumbles landing on her belly. “Ow…” She said as she rubbed her side with her hoof. “I think we should listen to what Rarity said last time and not run inside.” “Ah think you’re right Sweetie, but are you okay?! You sounded really out of breath, maybe we should take it easy for a couple of hours.” Apple Bloom questioned, concern showing on her small muzzle. She and Scootaloo held their hooves out to Sweetie and helped her up. “Why don’t we play with some of your dolls Sweetie?” “Thanks girls.” Sweetie said as she stood up. “Yeah that sounds fun!” She said taking another breath. “What do you think Scootaloo? I know you don’t like dollies...” “Hay! I do so like dollies. J-Just don’t tell anypony I play with them. For my birthday Rainbow Dash got me a whole set of wonderbolt dolls!” Scootaloo said happily as the group of fillies headed back to Sweetie’s room. “Is everything okay out there girls?” A voice called from the kitchen where the whistling of a kettle could be heard. “I thought I heard something or somepony fall.” “We’re fine! I just tripped.” Sweetie called back. “And you said you didn’t like to play with dollies Scootaloo!” the white unicorn filly protested. “Be more careful Sweetie, I worry about you dear.” Rarity called back from the kitchen leaving the fillies in silence once more. “Well I don’t with other ponies! B-But when Rainbow Dash took me home she let me have all of her old toys, including all of her pony dolls.” Scootaloo said blushing crimson over the fact she’d just admitted to playing with dollies. “She has a really big collection and she told me it’s okay for me to play with Dollies as long as I want!” She concluded smiling nervously at her two best friends. “She’s the bestest big sister ever!” Sweetie looked at Scootaloo confused, tilting her head. “Uh… Rainbow Dash has dollies? But… she said she doesn’t have dollies!” “OH MY GOSH I WASN’T SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU DASH HAD DOLLIES!” Scootaloo shouted nervously looking around. “Oh no she’s going to be so upset with me!” She said her eyes tearing up. “D-Don’t tell anyp-pony!” “Scootaloo, calm down, we wouldn’t tell anypony! Right Apple Bloom?” Sweetie said smiling reassuringly. “Y-Yeah Scootaloo we wouldn't tell anypony ever.” The yellow filly comforted Scootaloo. “Let’s play with my dollies now!” Sweetie said as she turned back to her room and started off. “Girls I just wanted to tell you it’s getting close to bedtime. You should probably get into your pajamas soon.” Rarity said from the doorway to Sweetie’s room. “I don’t mind if you stay up later in the dark but it’s lights out at nine thirty.” She smiled at Scootaloo and subtly pointed to her saddlebags. “Uh… girls, I’ll be right back, I uh… have to use the little fillies room, and uh… I’ll change into my pajamas while I’m in there, yeah! That works.” Scootaloo said standing up and quickly running over to her saddlebag and then quickly leaving the room. “I don’t see why she couldn’t put on her pajamas out here! We’re all fillies after all, and we never wear clothes anyways!” Sweetie said as she slipped a pink silky nightgown over her head. “Ah don’t get it either Sweetie but ah think Scoots is hiding something. Wow that’s a nice nightgown Sweetie, where’d you get it?” Apple Bloom asked slipping her own nightgown on . “Rarity made it for me!” Sweetie said giggling until her ears perked up at a noise. “Sweetie Belle! Could you come here for a minute?” Rarity called to her younger sister. Sweetie’s face turned a bit red but then she stood up. “Coming!” she said as she quickly trotted out of the room. “Be right back Apple Bloom!” === After doing her ‘business’ Scootaloo washed her hooves and unzipped her saddlebags. She sighed as she pulled out the package of silly filly diapers and wonderbolt themed ones. “Ugh I can’t decide! I like the pink ones but the wonderbolt ones make me look cool.” Scootaloo debated with herself I can’t wear the pink ones incase they find out, then they’ll think I’m some prissy pony! “But these silly filly ones always keep me dry, I’ve leaked a few times wearing the wonderbolt ones. And I sure don’t want to wet in Sweetie’s bed.” After a few more minutes of internal debate the filly chose Silly Filly diapers. With a little effort she got the diaper on by herself, her purple tail poking through the diapers hole. “Whew! These sure are crinkly.” All of the sudden there was a knock on the door. “Scootaloo! Hurry up in there! Ah gotta go!” Apple Bloom called out franticly, the sound of hooves hitting the wood floor could be heard all the way from where Scootaloo was standing as Apple Bloom trotted in place. “O-Oh sorry Apple Bloom I’m almost done!” Scootaloo called back, she hurriedly shoved the diapers back into her saddlebag noticing a note from Rainbow Dash. She folded the note and slipped her light pink and blue nightgown over her head. The door opened with a click as soon as Scootaloo unlocked it, Apple Bloom galloping in. As soon as she was in the room, Apple Bloom was pushing Scootaloo out. “Out, Out, Out!” She chanted until Scootaloo and her saddlebag were in the hallway and the door closed behind her. === Sweetie trotted into Rarity’s old bedroom which was now a guest bedroom; She closed and locked the door behind her as she jumped up onto the bed and sat down next to Rarity. “D-do I h-have to Rarity… I d-don’t w-want the other g-girls to think I’m silly…” she said quietly. “Aw Sweetie they won’t think you’re silly, they’re your best friends dear. Besides I don’t think you want to have to explain to Apple Bloom and Scootaloo about the wet sheets do you?” Rarity said trying her best not to upset Sweetie anymore. “W-well… n-no but… what if they find out? I know this nightgown you made me has the special custom diaper covering panty thingies but… what if they still find out?” Sweetie asked, she looked up at her older sister, eyes watering up slightly. The older pony but her hooves around Sweetie Belle drawing her into a comforting hug. “They won’t notice I promise Sweetie, now lets get you ready for bedtime before you fall asleep on my lap again.” She quietly teased her little sister, laying her down on the bed. “H-hay! Th-that only h-happens sometimes… a-and I l-like it w-when y-you c-cradle m-me…” Sweetie said blushing as she felt Rarity lay her down on a small mat on top of the bed. Rarity smiled and pulled a case of stylish cloth diapers from under the mattress. She pulled a purple and pink diaper from the case and slid it underneath of Sweetie Belle, threading her tail through the tail hole she finished diapering the younger pony. “Does that fit right? I had to use bigger cloths, they were out of the smalls.” Rarity asked ready to adjust the fit before retrieving the pyjama bottoms for Sweetie’s gown. Sweetie Belle squirmed around slightly as she tried to get comfortable in the diaper. “Uhm… Rarity… I… I d-don’t like it but… last time you forgot to put powder and cream on me I got a really bad diaper rash…” She said quietly. “Oh well we can’t have that happen can we?” Rarity chimed her horn glowing light blue as a container of foal powder drifted across the room. She quickly undid the velcro fasteners on the front of Sweetie’s diaper. Taking the bottle of foal powder with her hooves she spread a generous amount on Sweetie’s lower half and into the diaper itself. “Are you sure you want me to put on the diaper cream Sweetie?” She asked tapping the container of plot cream. “Y-yeah… I know it doesn’t feel good but when we don’t I get a bad rash…” Sweetie replied, blushing slightly. The older pony spread a small amount of the cream on Sweetie’s inner thighs and around her private area. “There anything else your darling sister forgot before I put this on you Sweetie?” Rarity asked a hoof resting on the front of the diaper where a musical note adorned it. “Rarity… what if I need to go… when I’m still up… cause… I can’t get these on and off by myself…” Sweetie asked slightly embarrassed. “What do I do then?” Rarity blushed, she hadn’t actually thought about that. “Hmm well I guess you could just go? I’m going to be here all night after all Sweetie, I’m used to changing your diapers. I’ve been changing them ever since you were a foal and Mom was busy with stuff. I can change you if you have an accident in the night Sweetie. I know you can’t hold it for as long as other fillies.” She said slipping the silky red diaper cover over Sweetie’s hind legs and up over the diaper. “I w-w-won’t h-h-have an accident! I’m a big filly!” Sweetie protested. Rarity nuzzled her younger sister on the top of her head. “I know you're my big little sister. Run along now the girls must be wondering where you are. I’m just in the next room if you need me Sweetie Belle.” Sweetie Belle smiled and nuzzled her big sister. “Thanks Rarity. You’re a great big sister.” she squeaked as she jumped down off of Rarity’s lap and down onto the floor. “Oh right! The girls! ThanksRaritybye!~” The small unicorn filly said as she galloped out of the room. “What took you so long Sweetie? Rarity making you try on dresses again?” teased Scootaloo laughing at the small white unicorn. “You’re one to talk Scoots, ya took forever in the fillies room earlier!” Apple Bloom said shaking her head. Sweetie gave a slight blush then smiled at them. “You two are silly! Rarity wanted me to try on nightgowns cause its night time! And she wanted me to look really nice cause of the sleep over!” She smiled again. “Well ah guess that makes sense, but the nightgown you have on already is nice.” Apple Bloom commented pointing at Sweetie’s silky red nightgown. “Ah wish ah could get Applejack to wear something like that, but she always says it’s for ‘silly fashion ponies who don’t care about hard work’. “Thats Not True!” Sweetie chirped at her. “My big sister works really really super hard on the clothes she makes!” “Ah know she does Sweetie but not as hard as AJ does!” Apple Bloom replied in a huff, thinking her best friend thought her sister was better. “Uh-huh! She does!” Sweetie replied just as upset as Apple Bloom. “Does not!” “Does too!” “DOES NOT!” “DOES TOO!” Sweetie cried jumping at Apple Bloom, landing on top of her trying to ‘tickle Apple Bloom to death.’ Apple Bloom burst into a fit of giggles as Sweetie tickled her. “Heehee s-stop~ I g-give! I give!” She cried tears of laughter forming in her eyes. “Rarity works just as hard as AJ! There I said it.” Scootaloo rolled her eyes at the two. “Are you two done fighting now?” She asked the two other fillies. I don’t want to get caught in the fight or they’ll find out about my diapers! “Good!” Sweetie said as she jumped off of Apple Bloom. “Now we are!” She said smiling at Scootaloo. “How come you’re sitting so far away from us Scoots?” Apple Bloom asked her young pegasus friend. “Yeah why are you?” Sweetie asked, almost copying Apple Bloom. “Uhm… N-No reason, why are you sitting so far away from me?!” Scootaloo countered getting up from where she was sitting. The little filly was oblivious to the scene she had just made as the diaper wrapped around her bottom came loose and fell off. “Why are you both staring at me? Is there something on my face?” “Scootaloo… a diaper just fell out of your night gown…” Sweetie said in a confused voice. “Why are you wearing a diaper Scoots?” Apple Bloom asked just as confused as Sweetie and sounding more than a little shocked. “We’re a little too big for diapers…” She trailed off unsure what else to say about the diaper laying on the floor. Sweetie blushed slightly as Scootaloo looked away. “I… I… I DON’T KNOW HOW THAT GOT THERE!” Scootaloo protested, blushing redder than Big Mac’s coat and looking down at the ground. “Ah think you do Scoots. Scootaloo wears diapers, Scootaloo wears diapers!” Apple Bloom chanted teasing Scootaloo, not realizing she was actually hurting her friends feelings deeply. “Does the foal need a diaper change?” She asked Scootaloo in a serious voice. “Apple Bloom! Don’t hurt her feelings!” Sweetie Belle said defensively. All Scootaloo could do was look down at the floor with a shy expression as her face was red hot. “I… I h-h-h-h-have p-p-p-problems… a-a-a-at n-night… I… I-its… I… I-it’s o-ok-kay i-if y-y-you d-don’t w-w-want to be m-my f-friends a-anymore…” She said kicking at the floor embarrassed. “O-Oh…” Apple Bloom said quietly. Ah can’t believe mah best friend wears diapers just like a- “DON’T BE A MEANY!” Sweetie Belle said hitting her friend upside her head with her hoof rather hardly. “O-Ouch! Sweetie what the hay was that for?! You never hit other ponies!” Apple Bloom cried out as she rubbed the top of her head. “Ah was only teasing jeez. Ah didn’t mean tah hurt  your feelings Scoots, ah understand if you don’t want to go crusading with me anymore.” The earth pony filly said sounding a little down as she spoke the words. “I-it’s f-f-fine… I j-j-just… I… I-i’ll b-b-b-be b-b-b-back.” Scootaloo said quickly galloping out of the room before they could answer. “See what you did!” Sweetie said. “Now I’m not apologizing for that bruise on your head!” *=* “R-R-Rarity?! C-Can I c-c-come in please…” Scootaloo said knocking on the guest bedroom door. Rarity opened her bedroom door and greeted the distraught filly with a smile. It quickly faded into a frown. “Scootaloo dear whatever is the matter?” Scootaloo quickly ran into the room and laid down on the floor. “Th-th-th-they f-f-f-found o-out… I… I w-w-w-want t-to g-g-go h-h-home…” The orange filly said as tears started to leak from her eyes. “Oh dear, Scootaloo come sit with your friend Rarity.” She said patting the spot on the bed beside her. “We will get this all sorted out, just leave it to me.” Rarity said smiling. “If we can’t I’ll get a hold of Rainbow. How does that sound?” She asked Scootaloo doing her best to calm the distraught pegasus. “These things happen Scootaloo it’s nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.” Scootaloo climbed up onto the bed beside Rarity. “I… I d-d-don’t kn-know… A-apple B-bloom w-w-was p-pretty m-mean a-about it…” she said sniffling. “What did she say Scootaloo? Would you like my help getting your, you know back on?” Rarity asked Scootaloo patting the filly’s head gently. “Sh-she c-c-c-called m-m-me a f-f-foal a-a-a-and a-asked m-me i-if I n-needed ch-changed a-and i-it h-h-hurt…” Scootaloo said with another sniffle, she slowly nodded at Rarity. “Y-yes p-please…” she said shamefully, holding her head down low and not making eye contact. “Well that’s not very nice at all! Did you bring your saddlebags?” “N-no… I f-forgot it… a-and the d-d-d-diaper i-is s-s-s-still o-on th-the f-floor i-in th-there…” Scootaloo replied, again sniffling. “You just wait right here while I go get your things okay? I’ll make you a cup of hot chocolate, that always calms Sweetie Belle right down.” Rarity said smiling at the distraught pegasus filly. “O-ok-k-kay th-th-thank y-y-you.” Scootaloo said curling up into a small orange ball of fluff laying on the bed as she quietly sobbed to herself. * = * “Well what am ah supposed to do Sweetie?! Ah hurt her feelings real bad!” Apple Bloom yelled throwing her hooves in the air. “Ah can’t just walk in and say sorry.” “Well you can’t just not say sorry either!” Sweetie said. “You have to apologize to her! You really hurt her feelings.” She said. Rarity appeared in the doorway a few moments later wearing a look of disappointment on her muzzle. “Sweetie Belle could you please pass me Scootaloo’s saddle bags?” Sweetie Belle nodded and picked up the saddlebag and slowly walked it over to Rarity. “See! Look what you did now she’s going home Apple Bloom!” “W-What?! But ah can’t say sorry if she goes home!” Apple Bloom cried. “Well maybe that’s what you get for making our friend feel bad!” Sweetie said in defense of Scootaloo. “Apple Bloom I would like you to come with me, you too Sweetie Belle.” Rarity said picking up Scootaloo’s saddlebags in her blue aura of magic. She looked at the ground where Scootaloo’s diaper lay open, with a sigh she rolled it up and threw it into a trash bin in the corner of Sweetie’s room.   “B-But ah can’t face Scoots now! She’ll be so upset with me.” Apple Bloom said following Rarity out of the room. “You should have thought about that before you hurt her feelings Apple Bloom. I thought you were a very nice filly until you made fun of your friend.” Rarity chastised the earth pony filly as she lead her and Sweetie to the bedroom down the hallway. “Now go in there and say you’re sorry!” “But!” “No buts! You go in there and apologize to Scootaloo, tell her you’re very sorry for hurting her feelings.” Rarity said opening the door and pushing Apple Bloom inside. “Maybe you should supervise Sweetie.” “O-okay…” Sweetie said as she followed Apple Bloom into the room. “Scootaloo?” Scootaloo sniffled once but didn’t move from her spot on the bed. “W-What Sweetie? Did you come to l-laugh at me too?” She said getting up to face her friends, her expression changed when she saw how upset Sweetie Belle looked. “I-I’m s-sorry I didn’t mean that Sweetie…” “N-no… I…” Sweetie closed her mouth and looked over to Apple Bloom giving her a glare. “Ah came to sorry Scoots, ahm really sorry I said those awful things to you!” Apple Bloom said kicking at the floor with a hoof. “It was really mean fer me to call you a foal and ask if you needed a diaper change. Ah didn’t know you had night time problems and ahm real sorry ah said those things to you! Honest!” The earth pony filly said looking up at her pegasus friend, her eyes watering slightly. “Ah am so so sorry!” Apple Bloom said apologizing over and over again, hoping her friend would forgive her for the mean things she said. “I really think she’s sorry Scootaloo… And I’m sorry too… cause… cause I can be!” Sweetie said trying to cheer her friends both up. Scootaloo managed a small giggle. “You’re silly Sweetie! A-And I f-forgive you Apple Bloom, I should have told you girls I wore diapers to bed… You two are my bestest friends after all!” She said hopping down from the bed and trotting to where her friends sat. “G-Group hug? B-But don’t tell anypony about this! Especially not Rainbow Dash, she’ll tease me for weeks.” The orange pegasus filly said her tears drying up as she held her hooves out in a hugging gesture. “Rainbow dash doesn’t know?” Sweetie asked as she hugged Scootaloo. “No she knows about my problem, I was talking about the hug Sweetie.” Scootaloo said hugging Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. “Why does Rainbow tease you about hugs Scoots? Her and mah sister hug all the time!” Apple Bloom said giggling as she joined in the group hug. “N-No she doesn’t!” Scootaloo said knowing that Apple Bloom was right. “W-Well okay she does but she doesn’t like to show affection in public. U-Unless it’s with me.” The pegasus filly said breaking from the group hug. Rarity knocked on the door then poked her head inside. “Is everything okay now girls?” She asked looking at the three happy faces. “I think everything is just fine!” Sweetie chirped happily. “Good! Now if you girls wouldn’t mind leaving the room for a few minutes so I can help Scootaloo with her nightwear.” Rarity said not wanting to embarrass Scootaloo any further. “Oh okay!” Sweetie said taking Apple Bloom’s hoof. “C’mon! Let’s go play with my dollies some more!” She said dragging Apple Bloom out of the room. “I’ll be out shortly girls don’t have too much fun without me!” Scootaloo called after her friends as she layed down on the bed. “T-The p-pink diapers please Rarity.” She said gesturing to the package of silly filly diapers in her bag. “Of course Scootaloo.” Rarity replied happily bringing one of the pink filly sized diapers to her and Scootaloo. She laid the filly down on her bed and quickly slid the diaper under her bottom, with a little bit of effort she tugged Scootaloo’s tail through the diaper’s hole and asked her a question. “I have some Foal Powder and other things if you’d like me to put that on you?” Scootaloo let the question absorb into her mind for a moment before she responded. “Yeah okay that sounds- wait, why do you have foal powder and ‘other things’ here?” She asked as she felt Rarity pull her tail through the diaper. “W-Well you see…” Rarity said rubbing the back of her neck with a hoof as she applied foal powder to Scootaloo. “Bedwetting runs in the family, M-Mom and Dad never stopped buying powder and all those kinds of things in case Sweetie had the same problem I did when I was her age.” She said thinking on her hooves. “Well I guess it’s a good thing she doesn’t, it’s horrible to cloud wet… I don’t like it at all!” Scootaloo said as she felt the powder being applied. “Y-Yes dear it is a horrible thing for a filly to go through.” Rarity said absently applying some rash cream to Scootaloo. “Can you get the tapes on yourself dear or would you like me too help you some more?” The small orange filly cringed as she felt the cream being applied. “Ewwww! That feels gross!” Scootaloo said, she slowly nodded. “I w-would l-like h-help…p-please.” Rarity smiled and pulled the diaper tight around Scootaloo’s waist, the tapes fastened themselves to the front of her diaper with ease. “Too tight? And I know Scootaloo it does feel gross but it will keep your skin protected.” The unicorn mare questioned the small orange pegasus filly. “It feels a little loose actually.” Scootaloo replied moving around slightly. “A-and… doesn’t my fur do that though?” She asked. “It protects your fur too dear. You don’t want your coat to smell like pee do you? Only kidding Scootaloo.” Rarity replied to Scootaloo’s question smiling as she readjusted the diapers fit. “How about now?” Scootaloo smiled as she moved around feeling the comfy soft padding stuck tightly around her rear. “Th-that’s g-good th-thanks.” She said smiling weakly. “Good now go on and play for a while longer. Lights out at eleven thirty!” Rarity said helping Scootaloo down from the bed. “I’ll bring you each a cup of hot chocolate just like I said I would.” She smiled at pegasus filly as they trotted down the hall back to Sweetie’s room. “Sweetie dear could I talk to you out here for a moment?” Scootaloo smiled and galloped back to her friends as Sweetie came out of the room. “Yeah? What’s up?” She asked her older sister. “I was wondering if you were still… You know Sweetie.” Rarity asked her younger sister with a small laugh. “If you were still dry.” Sweetie instantly blushed. “I a-am! I told you I won’t h-have an accident!” “Well we’ll see.” Rarity said checking the outer layers of Sweetie’s cloth diaper. “Good all dry.” “Rarity! What are you doing!?” Sweetie asked as she felt Rarity’s hoof on her diaper. “I was checking to see if you were telling your big sister the truth. The last time I let you go to sleep wet, Mother was not very happy with me.” The white unicorn mare said chuckling at the memory. “Maybe you should tell Scootaloo about your own issue dear? It might make her feel more comf-” “N-no!” Sweetie cut her sister off “I… I d-d-d-don’t w-w-w-want th-them t-to l-laugh a-at me!” She said, not realizing how silly what she said sounded, starting to become very aware of the fact that she indeed did have to use the filly’s room. “Sweetie you’re being silly.” Rarity said laughing as she turned around. “I’ll be in the kitchen if you need me.” She said trotting away from her little sister. “If you do happen to need a change please let me know Sweetie.” Rarity called from the kitchen, the sound of water filling a kettle drifting down the hall. Sweetie blushed slightly. “O-ok-kay.” She said as she walked back into her own room. “S-so what now girls?” She asked, her back legs instinctively crossing as she felt the need to go increasing. “Are you okay Sweetie? You look like you need to use the fillies room really bad!” Scootaloo said smiling at her unicorn friend. “We should play truth or dare!” She announced looking at Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. “What? Doesn’t anypony want to play anymore?” “N-no! I’m good! Really I am!” Sweetie protested as she continued to stand there awkwardly. “Are ya sure Sweetie? Ya look a little nervous.” Apple Bloom said playing with a set of blocks she had found in Sweetie’s toybox. The filly nodded her head. “Yeah! I’m fine! Honest!” Sweetie said. “Well if you say so. But I’m just saying if you have to go then go, Dash told me it’s not good to hold it for a really long time.” The pegasus filly stated joining Apple Bloom in playing with the set of blocks, together they began building a small castle. “Come on Sweetie! You’re really good at blocks. And we need your expertise!” For a moment Sweetie’s concentration broke as her friends spoke to her causing her bladder to release into her diaper, she blushed slightly as she felt the diaper grow heavier and wetter, slowly she stepped closer to the blocks and stood there motionless for a moment seemingly examining the castle before she finished peeing and sat down, cringing slightly as she did. “Y-yeah okay! Uh… well you need an archway entrance thingy!” She said picking up a small arched block and placing it over the entrance acting as if nothing had happened trying to ignore the new weight around her plot. “Girls! Your hot chocolate is ready.” Rarity called to the trio of fillies from her parents kitchen.  “You’d best drink it while it’s hot.” She added thinking that might help them wind down for the evening. “Ah love hot chocolate!” Apple Bloom cheered loudly as she galloped out of Sweetie’s bedroom, heading toward the kitchen. Sweetie Belle sighed slightly as she stood up feeling her diaper sag beneath her. She walked over to the door. “Mommy said not to gallop inside! So you shouldn’t Apple Bloom!” She said as she gingerly trotted after Apple Bloom trying to ignore her diaper. Scootaloo followed behind Sweetie. Making sure to not walk too fast so they could chat during the short trot to the kitchen. “I know you said you were fine Sweetie but I can’t help thinking that you aren’t. You’re absolutely sure you’re okay? Rainbow Dash said best friends shouldn’t keep secrets and should always look out for eachother.” She said shooting Sweetie Belle a warm smile. “Uh… I’m…” Sweetie Belle paused to think for a moment. ‘What if I tell her and she laughs at me… or what if she doesn’t want to be my friend anymore, on the other hoof she could be totally cool about it but...’ “I’m fine really I just had a belly ache for a few minutes is all! I’m good now though!” She smiled at Scootaloo hoping she’d believe her. “Well okay but just remember you can tell me anything! We’re the cutie mark crusaders after all.” The pegasus filly replied believing Sweetie’s story. “Let’s hurry up and get our hot chocolate before Apple Bloom drinks it all!” Scootaloo announced urging her friend to pick up her pace. “Okay, Lets go!” Sweetie said happily picking up her pace, still uncomfortable from the wet cloth on her rear. Now galloping she raced Scootaloo until they were all the way to the kitchen where Apple Bloom had already started to drink her hot chocolate. “Thank ya Miss Rarity! This is really good!” Apple Bloom said “You’re welcome. Sweetie could I talk to you in another room for a moment? I forgot to tell you something that Mother wanted you to know.” “Uh… s-sure.” Sweetie said as she started to follow Rarity, starting to forget about her wet diaper. Rarity led her younger sister out of the kitchen and into the living room of the house. She sat down on the sofa and gestured for Sweetie to sit. “Is everything okay Sweetie?” The unicorn mare asked the small white filly. “It looked like you were having some troubles keeping up with little Scootaloo and Apple Bloom.” Sweetie nodded, now having forgotten about her diaper just wanting to drink her hot chocolate. “Yeah! Everything is fine! I just want my hot chocolate!” “Are you sure everything is okay? You’re still dry and don’t need my help?” Rarity asked, genuine concern showing on her muzzle. She lifted the small white filly onto her lap and looked down at her smiling. “I know, I know you’re not ‘little’ anymore, but I do worry about you often Sweetie Belle.” The small white filly blushed instantly as she felt the wet garment press into her plot as Rarity sat her on her lap. “U-uh y-yeah of course I’m still dry! I’m a big filly Rarity!” “Yes I know you are. But even big fillies need help sometimes.” Rarity said hugging her little sister tightly before letting her romp off to the kitchen. “Where is my hot chocolate girls!?” Sweetie chirped as she jumped up onto one of the kitchen chairs looking at the table. “It’s right there Sweetie, you’re the only pony I know who loves pink more than your sister.” Scootaloo said sipping on her own mug of hot chocolate eagerly. “Do you need some help getting your cup Sweetie?” Rarity asked lifting the filly onto a booster seat meant for a pony her size. “Rarity~ I was fine~!” Sweetie moaned, blushing red as she was lifted onto a booster seat in front of her friends, she slowly lifted up her cup of hot chocolate with her magic letting out a tiny grunt as she exerted her new magic skills. “See!” She said as she tilted the cup to take a drink, some... most of the hot chocolate falling onto her, used to be clean pristine coat. “Ah think your magic could use some work, Sweetie.” Apple Bloom said giggling at her friends mess. “Ya always make such a big deal if we get dirty, and you’re all dirty now!” “Nu-uh! my magic is just fine! My mommy says I am doing really good with it! I’m just fine and clean!” The pink and purple maned, chocolate covered filly protested. “Really dear you should let Twilight tutor you, she’s a very good teacher. Well if you can get past the…” Rarity trailed off cringing. “Ahem, ‘lecture mode’. “But Twilight gets upset if I don’t do it right and panics that I blew up a house somewhere and turned mommy and daddy into plants!” Sweetie said with a slight giggle at how silly it sounded. The expression on the older mare’s muzzle went from humour to mortification in seconds. “You haven’t turned Mother or Daddy into plants have you?!” “No! I don’t know where she get’s the idea from that I’d do that! Transformation spells aren’t till chapter six!” “But when Babs came tah town you said you had already studied transformation spells!” Apple Bloom shouted unaware she wasn’t supposed to mention the mishap with the pumpkin patch. “Apple Bloom!” Sweetie squeaked. “Well at least we didn’t blow up anymore pumpkins…” The pegasus filly said grinning at her two best friends. She sipped on her hot chocolate greedily enjoying the chocolatey taste. Scootaloo yawned softly as she finished her cup and set it down on the table. “What was that about a pumpkin patch Scootaloo?” Rarity asked eyeing the foals suspiciously. “You three didn’t have anything to do with the pumpkins that chased the mail mare did you?” The unicorn asked looking at each filly in turn. “Uhhhhhhhhh, I think it’s bed time, don’t you girls?” Sweetie said blushing. “Yeah! But ah haven’t even finished mah hot chocolate yet…” Apple Bloom said sipping on her mug again. “Sweetie you haven’t even taken a sip from your hot chocolate yet. I think you need a bib or something if you’re going to spill dear.” Rarity teased as she turned from the trio of foals. She rummaged around in a drawer before producing a bib that read ‘Momma’s Filly’. With the finesse of someone who had taken care of others their whole life Rarity snapped the bib around Sweetie’s neck and grinned. “There! All done.” “R-Rarity!” Sweetie cried out. “I d-don’t need a bib!” she protested as she lifted her hot chocolate to her mouth and started to drink it, blushing the entire time. “Well sometimes it’s better to be safe than sorry Sweetie.” Rarity said levitating the other two foals cups to the sink. She deposited them in the soapy water that filled the sink and turned waiting for her sister to finish her own drink. “Is there anything you girls want to tell each other before you go to bed?” Sweetie blushed and quickly finished her hot chocolate, not answering the question. “What’s the matter Sweetie? You look like ah do when I say something really silly.” The little red maned earth pony filly asked cocking an eyebrow at her unicorn friend. “I’m fine!” Sweetie Belle quickly said as she started to drink her cup of hot chocolate again, not noticing that it was empty. “Uh, Sweetie I think your cup is empty. You’ve been sipping on it for at least five minutes now!” Scootaloo said rolling her eyes. She tapped a hoof on the counter impatiently as she waited for Sweetie to finish. Sweetie continued to blush. Shaking her head she replied. “I just finished it just now!” She said with a nervous giggle. “Hay I have an idea! Let’s all go back to my room and play some more!” Rarity smiled warmly at the trio of best friends. “Sorry girls but it’s bed time for little fillies.” She said picking up her sisters cup and placing it in the sink before ushering the foals out of the kitchen. “H-Hay! We’re not little!” Scootaloo huffed in protest as they were pushed from the kitchen by Sweetie’s sister. “Y-Yeah! W-we a-aren’t l-little!” Sweetie protested as she tried to walk backwards, her hooves scraping along the floor as she was pushed. “Yeah! Applejack says ah am a big filly now!” Apple Bloom protested as well, her yellow hooves trying to find traction on the carpeted floor of the hallway. “Yes, yes girls you're all big fillies.” The Unicorn mare said chuckling as she pushed the fillies to Sweetie Belle’s room. “Up into bed you three!” Rarity said adjusting her sister’s pink sheets and collection of plushies so there were room for three foals. “But Rarity ahm not even tired! And neither is Scootaloo or Sweetie! Right girls?” Scootaloo yawned in response to Apple Bloom’s question, her violet eyes slowly closing before snapping open again. “H-Huh? What about the Wonderbolts Apple Bloom?” She asked rubbing her eyes with a hoof before climbing into her friend’s bed. The yellow coated filly facehoofed. “Ah didn’t say anything about the Wonderbolts, Scoot. So much for us not being tired.” Apple Bloom said smartly climbing into bed behind Scootaloo. “Rarityyyyy~ We aren’t tired! Maybe we could sing something…” Sweetie said taking in a deep breath. “HUSH NO-” she started to sing being stopped by her sister’s hoof in her mouth. Rarity’s muzzle flushed pink. “N-No Sweetie that’s quite alright. Up into bed with your friends now.” “Uhm… R-rarity…?” Sweetie asked now blushing, realizing she didn’t want to go to bed already wet. “Something the matter Sweetie?” Rarity asked checking the nightlight on the far side of the room. Sweetie blushed even more, “U-uh y-yeah.. c-can we go to your room for a moment…?” She asked with a look of distress on her face. The older unicorn smiled gently and nodded. “Of course you can. Come on lets go have our little girl talk.” Rarity said picking up Sweetie in an aura of light blue magic, she deposited the filly onto her back and trotted out of view into her own bedroom. * = * Apple Bloom laid in bed silent for a few minutes, the only noise that could be heard was the occasional rustle of Scootaloo’s diaper or of her own pair of hooved pyjamas. “Hey Scootaloo?” She asked climbing down and out of the bed. Scootaloo also laid in bed silently, easily ignoring her diaper making noise as she moved. “Yeah Apple Bloom?” she asked as she rolled over in the bed trying to get more comfortable. “Ah wanna know what Sweetie keeps doing with Rarity. Wanna try and get our cutie marks in detective work?” “Okay! Sounds fun let me jus-*snore*” Apple Bloom threw a bat plushie at her pegasus friend. “Scootaloo! Wake up!” “Huh!? What!? I didn’t wet my diaper while I was sleeping Rainbow Dash!” Scootaloo said, instantly blushing red as she realized it was Apple Bloom who woke her up. “Th-thanks! N-now I did!” she said her face red as it could possibly be as she felt her diaper grow warmer and wetter below her from the shock. “Aw shucks ahm sorry Scootaloo! Ah said wanna try tah get our Cutie Marks in detective work?” “Sure…” The orange filly said, now wide awake. “I need to ask Rarity to uh… h-h-h-help me ch-change anyway…” Scootaloo said as she stood up from the bed and jumped down onto the floor. “Ah really am sorry for what I said earlier Scootaloo. Ahm sure I could try tah help if you wanted?” Apple Bloom said giggling as she and Scootaloo crept out of their friends bedroom. “Ah think ah hear them talking about something.” She said cocking her head to one side, trying to understand the muffled conversation taking place a few doors down. “Shhh! I hear them talking! And it’s okay… R-rarity c-can h-h-help m-me… r-remember what happened when we tried to get our diaper changing cutie marks? No thank you.” Scootaloo said as she creeped up to the door and peeked in. ~ “I uh… I n-need a change R-rarity…” Sweetie Belle said blushing as she sat on the edge of the bed. “I thought that might have been the case when you were so keen on going right to bed.” Rarity said retrieving a fresh cloth diaper from the place they were kept in her old bedroom. “Lay down please Sweetie, the quicker we get you cleaned up, the quicker you can go back to bed.” She said levitating a changing mat from the same area of the closet the diapers were kept. Rarity spread it out on the bed placing foal wipes and foal powder beside the diaper. “O-ok-kay.” Sweetie said as she laid down on the changing mat patiently waiting for her sister to change her. “I uh… R-really w-wanted t-to th-thank you… f-f-for th-this… I w-wanted t-to a-ask if we can d-do this again s-sometime?” She asked. “I’m sure Mother and Father would let you have another sleep over with your friends Sweetie.” Rarity said removing the soaked garment from Sweetie’s bottom, she began wiping the foals nether regions with a cold wipe. “N-no I m-mean… M-me a-and y-you… a-and… m-m-maybe…” Sweetie clapped her forehooves together nervously and avoided eye contact. “M-maybe w-with th-the diapers a-and o-other f-foal stuff…l-like when Mommy and D-daddy used t-to go on trips a-and l-let you foalsit m-me when i was little… I m-miss that…” She said with another blush. Rarity smiled warmly down at Sweetie Belle, she really was flattered that her sister would ask for something like that. “Why would you want that Sweetie? Don’t you like being a big filly?” Sweetie continued to blush. “I-it’s n-not th-that! I j-just… W-well… n-no… I d-don’t… a-actually…” The older unicorn chuckled. “But you and your friends are always in such a rush to get your cutie marks! I thought you wanted to grow up really fast? You are only eight years old after all. That’s pretty young for a little pony to be worried so much about growing up.” “W-well… I w-want my cutie mark but… I d-don’t w-want t-to b-be a big f-filly y-yet… I l-like having f-fun a-and n-not having t-to worry… a-about all that extra s-stuff…” Sweetie said with a small frown. “It’s no fun being a big filly… I wanna be a little filly s-still… e-even a f-foal again…” “Aww, Sweetie Belle, to me you’ll always be a little foal. You are my little sister after all. It’s only natural for you to not want to grow up so fast. How about you spend a week with me at the boutique? Mother and Father wouldn’t mind I’m sure, they do love their trips after all. We can do this all again if you’d like.” Rarity said smiling nervously, she hoped desperately she hadn’t hurt Sweetie Belle’s feelings. That’s odd I could have sworn I just saw a tuft of red mane poke through the door... Sweetie Belle smiled. “Y-yes… I think I’d l-like that.” “Move Apple Bloom! Let me See!” Scootaloo whispered rather loudly. “Ah can’t move! They’ll see me if ah move!” Apple Bloom ‘whispered’ back in her normal speaking voice. The filly shifted to the side to let Scootaloo see. Sweetie Belle’s face lost what little colour it had and the blush started to encompass her entire face. “R-r-r-r-rarity…I… I’m h-hearing th-things… r-right!?” “Ah no dear I don’t think you are.” Rarity said slowly. “Girls if you’re out there, come in here now please.” The two foals walked into the room holding their heads low, Scootaloo was the first to speak. “I-I’m sorry Sweetie… W-We were just wondering why you kept leaving so suddenly, and then Apple Bloom said we could get our cutie marks in detective work. So we used our detective skills to uhm eavesdrop on your conversation…” She said sniffling. “A-And R-Rarity I need your help, A-Apple Bloom scared me and I had an accident.” Sweetie Belle continued to blush as she felt her entire face burn. “H-how m-much d-d-d-did y-you h-hear!?” She asked in a very embarrassed voice. “That you needed R-Rarity to change you.” Apple Bloom said pointing at the wet cloth diaper sitting beside Sweetie’s small form. “A-And that you don’t like being a big filly.” Rarity let out a sigh, she wasn’t sure how to go about punishing the two’s curiosity. “Girls that was a very mean thing to do! Scootaloo you of all ponies should know better. I thought you were very sensitive about your night time accidents.” She sighed again then continued. “But I’m not going to leave you sitting a wet diaper all night. So up on the bed. And Apple Bloom?” “Ahm S-sorry… S-Sweetie…” Apple Bloom said thinking Rarity wanted her to appologize to Sweetie Belle. “That’s a good first step but up onto the bed with you too dear.” The unicorn mare said patting the large changing mat spread out on the bed. “Wh-what? Ah… uh… Ah’d r-rather n-not…” The yellow earthpony filly said before receiving a glare from Rarity, quickly she hopped up onto the bed next to Scootaloo who had already laid down on the changing mat. Scootaloo giggled as Rarity finished changing Sweetie Belle, her expression changed immediately when she moved onto her. “R-Rarity I don’t want S-Sweetie and Apple Bloom to see me get changed!” “Sorry Scootaloo but this is punishment for eavesdropping.” Rarity said humming to herself as she cleaned Scootaloo’s nether regions with a foal wipe. After a few more wipes she left the room returning a moment later with Scootaloo’s saddle bag. “Ah told you we shouldn’t eavesdrop!” Apple Bloom said, instantly regretting her decision to say a small white lie like that. “W-What!? This wasn’t my idea Apple Bloom, you're the one who said we should listen to them!” Scootaloo said cringing as she felt the cold wipe between her thighs. “Ah-ha! I knew it was both of your ideas!” Sweetie said giggling as Scootaloo was diapered before her, not even bothering to put her pajamas back on because her friends now knew. “Wh-what!? N-no… Ah… f-fine it was my idea! But S-scootaloo didn’t try to stop me!” Apple Bloom tried to protest. “Why would I try to stop you Apple Bloom?! You sounded so sure we were going to-” “Girls! You’re all friends here right?” Rarity interrupted, she pulled one of the silly filly diapers from Scootaloo’s bag and slid it underneath Apple Bloom’s bottom. After powdering the small yellow coated filly she taped the diaper on snugly. “So stop fighting, and apologize. All three of you are wearing diapers now.” “S-sorry Sweetie.. S-sorry S-scootaloo…” Apple Bloom said as she felt the diaper taped up onto her. “I’m sorry Sweetie, we shouldn’t have eavesdropped on you and your sister. But you could have just told me you wore diapers too!” Scootaloo said smiling at her friend. “Thank you… S-sorry for… getting you two both in this mess…” Sweetie Belle said, trying to ignore the diaper comment. “Wh-why don’t we all go back to bed so we can do some crusading tomorrow!” “Y-Yeah! That’s a great idea Sweetie!” Both Apple Bloom and Scootaloo said in unison. The fillies blushed at the crinkling of their diapered behinds as they walked out of Rarity’s room. “Go on Sweetie, and my offer still stands dear. This week at my boutique.” Rarity said in a whisper only Sweetie could hear. Sweetie Belle smiled nodded at her sister. “I’d like that.” She said returning the whisper before chasing off after her friends to her bedroom. * = * After the three had been diapered by Rarity they crawled back into bed. Apple Bloom however kept tossing and turning preventing the other two foals from sleeping. “Apple Bloom what’s the matter? You keep moving!” Sweetie said giggling “Ah don’t know how I’d get this thing back on… a-and Ah have to go to the fillies room…” Apple Bloom replied. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle looked at each other and blinked a few times. They bursted into a fit of giggles. “Just use the diaper Apple Bloom! Rainbow Dash says the same thing to me if I have to use the fillies room in the night. Or to wake her up and she’ll help me, but Rainbow is a really deep sleeper.” “Ah can hold it thank ya…” Apple Bloom said as she slowly let her bladder release, not wanting the other two to know, unaware that both fillies were used to hearing the sound of a diaper being wet and could easily tell she was going, instigating more giggles from the other two, Apple Bloom instantly lost control and soaked her diaper when the giggling startled her. “Ah guess we’re all even now then…Goodnight girls…” “Hehe Goodnight Apple Bloom!” Scootaloo chimed hugging her spitfire plush tight. Soon all that could be heard was the soft breathing of her and the other two foals. “Night Apple Bloom! Night Scootaloo!” Sweetie Belle chirped happily as she rolled over and started to fall asleep. The End
