The sun needed to be up frequently, crops needed to be maintained, and it always began with an endless line of ponies lining up to meet the Princess. The line of ponies was always the most stressful part of the new season. Celestia would spend hours of the day sitting at her throne, listening to requests of more sunlight, hearing praise for her and her sister's work, or trying to resolve property issues. It was all rather taxing on the royal pony's head. Her experienced mind never let her subjects see her bend under the pressure. She kept a steady gaze on anypony who requested her audience. She never lost her temper and handled everything in an objective and fair mindset. It was the work that was taxing not the ponies' requests. Between meetings, the princess would try to relief the stress with a rub of her temples before snapping back to her regal posture. Consecutive days of this was starting to take its toll on her royal highness. Finally the lines began to thin out and meetings were less frequent. Her schedule was finally starting to lighten up. She needed to relax and she knew the perfect way to do that. But it would have to wait till she got back to the privacy of her bedroom. After yet another taxing day of requests, Celestia finally saw the end of it and swiftly made her way to her bedroom with a guard following close behind. "Guard, I will be in my chambers to rest. Do no disturb me unless it's an emergency for I am very tired.," the Princess said to the unicorn guard. "Yes, your highness. Right away, your highness," The guard said with a deep bow before turning back down the hall. Celestia quickly closed the large door, locking it with it's large metal locks. She leaned against the wood and let out a deep deep sigh. "Finally," she mumbled out loud. "Alone at last!" Suddenly becoming paranoid and cautious, the princess listens at the door for a bit. She hears the guard's hoofsteps echoing off the hallway walls as the sound faded. She waited a couple more minutes for any other sign of life...The wing was silent. Doing her best to contain her excitement, the princess trotted over to her large closet, walking in all the way to the back. Elegant dresses of dazzling making with hoof-made stitching lined the two side walls. A lot of these dresses were only worn once for important diplomatic meetings or when she attended the top crust Galas that were frequent in Canterlot. But none of these dresses interested the princess at this point. What she was really looking for was a wooden box that sat in the corner behind a couple long gowns and other equally plain looking wood boxes. The box opened to reveal an unopened pack of thick, adult diapers. Celestia had to pull some strings to get her hands on these without anyone knowing. The plastic was easily ripped opened as Celestia pulled out a single diaper. She was told they were the plushest, softest, and most absorbent diapers around and they DEFINITELY looked the part! Celestia had been waiting for this moment for months! Only now did she find the time to indulge in her therapeutic relaxation. With shaky hooves, the princess pushed the rest of the diapers back in their box and dashed out of the closet. She placed the diaper on her bed before digging through the middle drawer of her nightstand, pulling out a bottle of baby powder and a pack of wipes. There was no real need for the wipes, but she wanted to full experience and that included the infantile scent of those baby wipes and having her legs held up while her caretaker wiped her clean of whatever mess she may have gotten herself into. The royal pony spread out the diaper and positioned herself over it. Took a bit of fiddling, but she managed to sit herself on the diaper juuuust right. With a light glow from her horn, she pulled her ankles up into the air to simulate the experience. Wipes were magicked around her rump and front, cleaning her up and leaving behind that distinct infantile scent. Next came the baby powder which she rubbed in with a hoof and made sure to get both her front and back. She even rubbed some into her tummy to intensify the scent. The diaper was pulled up slowly between her legs as she enjoyed the cushy feeling. Tape by tape, the diaper was secured around the princess's waist. She lowered her legs and looked over her diaper from as many angles as she could. Front the front, between her legs, and even at the sides where the tapes clearly held up well! The diapers were wonderful! Like wearing a fluffy pillow! The diapers were great, but only the start. Digging through the bottom drawer of her nightstand, Celestia found her favorite pink pacifier. Popping it into her mouth, she wasted no time suckling on the rubber nipple. Each suckle allowed the stress to just melt away off the tense shoulders of the diapered princess. Celestia smiled warmly behind the pacifier, her thick diaper crinkled with each happy wiggle she did. Now to complete the look, she thought to herself before digging under her bed. Stashed behind some normal looking boxes waited her favorite part of outfit, a large phoenix plushie. Celestia gave it a big hug, her diaper crinkling loudly between her legs. The plushie, to Celestia looked adorable with it's exaggerated features. The big eyes and enlarged head made it take on an unnaturally cute appearance compared to the real thing. And it was unbelievably huggable and Celestia's favorite sleeping buddy. The excited princess jumped into her bed, bundling up in multiple fluffy blankets like a warm nest. The many layers of blankets made her feel safe and secure. Coupled with the plushie and thick diaper around her waist, the Princess felt the stressed weight on her shoulders fade away with each suckle of her pacifier. She smiled warmly behind it as she laid down on her back, still tightly wound up in the blankets. Without giving it a second thought, she raised her legs up into the air and just let it all go. A loud hissing echoed off the tall, blue bedroom walls as her diaper swelled up with warm urine. She sighed with relief as she wet her diaper with no need to quiet it or hide it. Her legs floated in the air until the last drop of pee left her bladder and was soaked into the diaper. After soaking her diaper, Celestia let her legs plop back down on the bed's mattress. The freshly soaked diaper squished loudly beneath her. She was in perfect bliss and completely content. She stared off at the far away ceiling with a big smile on her face. Her pacifier bobbed in her mouth as she just laid there to take it all in. The warm diaper, the cozy blankets, the soft plushie. The pacifier that went up and down. Up and down...Up and...Down... The tired princess found herself dozing off right where she laid, snuggling her phoenix plushie like the foal she resembled. She was so relaxed and calm. ✶✶✶✶✶ A couple hours passed before the princess stirred again, still holding her phoenix plushie close to her chest. The pacifier found it's way out of her mouth and somehow managed to land on the nearby nightstand with a trail of drool behind it. ...But how could the pacifier get up on top of a nightstand that was higher than the bed on it's own? Celestia pulled herself up into a sitting position as she tried to navigate through the layers of blankets that twisted themselves through her nap. She let out a quiet gasp when she finally noticed her diaper was completely dry. Someone must have changed her while she slept! But who could have changed her? A guard checking up on her?...Or her sister?
