//------------------------------// // Chapter Fifteen The Talent Show // Story: The Cutie Squad // by Foal Star //------------------------------// The throne room was now fitted with a long walkway that lead all the way through it. The other foals were waiting for Tirek, peeking through the curtains andlooking at all the ponies. Nightmare Moon was staring at the crowd in her usual poofy pink dress, Chrysalis was right behind her in a light blue petticoat, “I didn’t think that some many would show up.” Nightmare Moon whispered. Rarity was behind them fussing over Sombra im his blue onesie tuxedo and giant poofy blue diaper. She was tidying his mane as he asked, “So, Mama, do I wook handome?” “Darling, you're the most adorable thing I’ve ever laid eyes on.” She hugged her son and led him off to where Discord was standing in his green onesie with the yellow bowtie. The four came up to each other as the other foals came over and were complimenting each other in their cute outfits. Then Discord replied, “I thin Scootawoo is in the cwowd, she was the one who helped me get my act weady.” Chrysalis asked, “Wait, wha is your act?” Discord giggled and said, “Well…” He revealed his pull-up, which had no gold star! Sombra was shocked! “Woah you don't hawe to weaw the gold staw anymowe?” He asked. Discord smiled, “Nah, Twily said I only can have it off until aftew the tawent show.” Sombra pondered as he asked, “Wait does that mean Tiwek got his gold star taken off too?” ”I doubt it, he didn't even hawe any cwasses with Twily yet.” Chrysalis replied. ”Wait a second, what if Twilight’s mommy took off his gold staw?” Nightmare Moon asked. “She dun know wha is fow!” Chryslais laughed, “She wouldnt do that. Besides Cewestia and Wuna awe hewe. We goin to be fine.” Cheerilee then came trotting down and asked, “Alright, are all the foals ready?” Rarity looked the foals over one more time. “I believe they are. And Cheerilee it’s so nice to see you again.” Cheerilee smiled, ”Of course, I couldn't miss a chance to come to Canterlot and see these adorable little bundles of joy.” Rarity turned to the foals and told them, “Now you all listen to Cheerilee and be on your best behavior.” They all nodded as Rarity went around the stage, while Cheerilee looked the foals over and exclaimed ”Oh, you're all so adorable! I'm Cheerilee, the primary school teacher in Ponyville and maybe one day I'll be your teacher too.” The four foals smiled as Cheerilee asked them, “So, you all ready?” The folas all shouted in unison, “Yeah!” Cheerilee nodded, “Alright, let's start with Nightmare Moon.” Nightmare Moon bounced up,” Yeah!” But as she approached Cheerilee she asked, “Hey, is it alright if I ask what’s schow wike?” Cheerilee giggled, “It's a fun place where you get to learn stuff like reading and writing.” Nightmare Moon pouted, “Oh that doesn't sound fun, it sounds bowing.” Cheerilee sighed, “Well school is what you make of it. But you don't have to worry about that for years.” “Now don’t worry about the crowd, just focus on your talent.” Cheerilee whispered to Nightmare Moon Nightmare Moon nodded and stared right at the red curtains as they were pulled open, revealing the rows of ponies standing on both sides. Nightmare Moon nervously walked past the ponies in her pink dress and she gave them all a small smile, “Hewo, I Nightmawe Moon and my tawen is givn ponies coow dweams.” The ponies all dawwed as she giggled, and Pinkie Pie shouted, “You're so cute Moony, break a leg!” Nightmare moon shouted back, “Alwight Momma, I’ww do my best!” Discord came forward waddling back and forth, with Fluttershy waving to him he and him waving back in reply as Nightmare Moon shouted, “Hewe’s my assistant, Discowd!” Discord came up waving his claw as Nightmare Moon declared “Now pwepae t be amazed, as I put him to sweep.” Nightmare Moon’s horn glowed and Discord began to drift off, his eyes fluttering. He fell to the ground and began to snore as Nightmare Moon giggled as her horn flared a bit more and soon everypony saw a giant cloud of power fly over Discord’s head. Inside they saw Discord playing with the shadowy mare from before. The two were in the palace playing hide and go seek. The ponies dawwed at the scene, as Nightmare Moon bowed her little body over and her horn stopped glowing, prompting to Discord to wake up. He groaned, “Oh dawn, I was winning.” But he got up and came over to Nightmare moon who smiled at Discord and he smiled back. The two took a bow with the ponies clapping and cheering and Pinkie Pie shouting, “Good job, Moony, that was amazing!” Discord shouted, “Now is my tuwn! Moony is goin to be my assitant, ”He gave the crowd a big grin, “Now watch as I tuwn Moony’s dwess into a onesie!” He flicked his claw, turning Nightmare Moon’s dress into a pink buttoned up onesie. She giggled as she crawled around in it making all the ponies laugh and cheer. Then Discord smiled, “How about a pink bonnet?” He flicked his fingers and a little pink bonnet appeared around Nightmare Moon’s face. She gave the crowd big puppy dog eyes making them daww once more. Discord then shouted, “Wait, one mowe ting!” He flicked his fingers and a oversized foal bottle appeared, filled with milk. Nightmare Moon took the bottle and started to suckle it with her eyes growing wide with pleasure with each suckle. Discord flicked his fingers returning Nightmare Moon back into her dress and she and Discord both took a bow to the sound of thunderous applause. Then the two went backstage where Discord was shouting, “Moony, you whewe amazing!” Nightmare Moon nodded, “Yeah, it was weally fun!” Sombra gulped as he got up and Chrysalis smiled at him. “Don't be newvous , ya goin to do gweat.” Sombra looked at Chrysalis. “Tanks, I jus hope I don mess up.” He said nervously. Cheerilee came forward and asked, “Alright you two, ready?” They both nodded and they followed her to the curtains as she raised them and shouted, “Here come Sombra and Chrysalis!” The two crawled forward into the spotlight, giggling with glee as the ponies clapped and cheered. Sombra smiled and waved as did Chrysalis. Chrysalis shouted, “Now I’ll show ya my gweat powa! I gonna make Somby act vewy cute. Bu fiwst I gotta ask, Somby, is it okay if do dis?” Sombra nodded, ”Yeah, is fine.” Chrysalis smiled and her horn glowed. “Alwight Somby, um... say: ‘I wove my diapee!’.” She commanded. Sombra babbled, “I wove my diapee.” Chrysalis smiled, so far so good. “Alwight, Somby, suckle ya hoofie.” Sombra took his right hoof, placed it right in his mouth, and began to suckle loudly. The crowd was speechless. Chrysalis giggled as she told Sombra, “Alwight, pee in ya diapee!” Sombra stood up in his diaper and it began to soak yellow with pee. This prompted Chrysalis to shout, “Wooks wike ya the king of wetties!” Sombra laughed and turned to Chrysalis, snapping out of his trance. “Well ,I got a tawent too.” His horn glowed and black crystals formed around her pull up. They then turned into many colors, making her pull up glow and shine, reflecting the light. The ponies were in awe as Rarity began to applaud thunderously, “Bravo, Somby, that’s beautiful! That’s Mommy little king!” Sombra and Chrysalis came up and took a bow with the ponies clapping and cheering. He was relieved that Rarity had placed him into an extra absorbent diaper for the show, it had taken quite a bit of convincing for him to agree to be hypnotized into wetting his diaper in front of other ponies. Twilight took Tirek to the back of the stage, lifted him onto the floor and told him, “Now Tirek, you behave, alright?” Tirek nodded and crawled towards Cheerilee and the other foals,who were now all talking and laughing. They turned to see Tirek as Sombra (still in his soggy diaper) whispered, “Are ya goin to do ya tawent?” Tirek nodded, Yeah, I guess.” Sombra hugged him and Tirek hugged him back as the other foals all shouted, “Bweak a weg!” Tirek just looked up to see Cheerilee, “Alright little Tirek, you ready?” She asked him. Tirek sighed, “Weady as I’ll eva be.” Cheerilee escorted the young centaur through the curtains and to the front of the stage where he now stared at the crowd of Canterlot ponies all watching him. He whimpered as he looked around, thenhe saw Twilight and Twilight Velvet both looking at him with bright smiles. He then shouted, “Well, my tawen is…” He whimpered as he looked at the crowd, and he began to scrunch up his diaper. Without warning, he began to wail and crawled back through the curtains. Sombra (who had just been changed by Rarity) came up to him and asked, “Hey, Tiwek, why ya cwying?” Tirek whimpered, “I...I don haw a tawent.” “Oh come on, Tiwek, eveypony gots a tawent,” Nightmare Moon replied. “Was yours?” Tirek cried, “I wante ta dance, bu I can’t do it in a diapee.” “Well, what if you had help?” Cheerilee suggested, approaching the little centuar. Tirek looked up and asked, “what?” Sombra shouted, “That’s a great idea! We can all help Tiwek with his tawent.” “Yeah we can make ya mowe cute too.” Nightmare Moon added. “Bu how?” Tirek asked. Discord looked over Tirek, then with a snap of his claw his outfit was changed into a bright blue onesie tuxedo like Sombra’s and his diaper became poofier. Sombra giggled and shouted. “My tuwn!” His horn glowed and shiny gems appeared all over Tirek’s diaper making it glow like Chrysalis’s. Then Nightmare Moon bounced up to Tirek, “Well I weawnd to dance a bit with the Cake Twins, I can help ya.” Tirek cried, “Bu I don know how ta dance in a diapee in fwont of othew ponies. They gonna waugh at me!” Chrysalis replied, “If ya don’t mind, I can help ya dance with my mind contwol.” Tirek looked at Chrysalis and asked, “Ya won’t make me wook dumb, wight?” Chrysalis nodded her head, “Of couwse I won’t do dat, ya goin to be jus fine.” Nightmare Moon then took Tirek’s hooves and the two crawled through the curtains., they both came to the front where they bowed. Nightmare Moon then took Tirek into her embrace and they both began to dance around the stage, with their tiny hooves waddling in their padded behinds. The ponies gazed at them and Tirek became nervous. Nightmare Moon whispered, “Hey, wook at me,” Tirek obeyed and she replied, “Don't be newvous.” Then he looked into the audience and saw Twilight Velvet, who smiled at him. He smiled back at her and continued the dance with Nightmare Moon. Suddenly, Tirek accidentally tripped over a stone and fell onto the ground! But both he and Nightmare Moon found themsleves laughing out loud. The crowd cheered as they both got up and took a bow. Tirek then went backstage with the rest of his friends shouting in glee,” I did it! I did a dance!” They all congratulated their new friend and hugged him. Twilight came up backstage with Twilight Velvet soon afteward and he shouted, “Gwanma! Mama! Ya see my dance?!” Twilight picked Tirek up with her telekinesis and cooed, “Oh it was lovely, you did a great job, sweetie. You’re definitely a better dancer then I am.” The two held the embrace for a while before Tirek asked, “Mama, can I talk with my fwiends fow a bit?” Twilight obeyed, as placed him in front of the foals and he whispered, “You guys where gweat, even when I was a big meanie ya became my fwiends.” Nightmare Moon nodded, “We all made mistakes befowe.” Sombra smiled at Tirek, ”Teah even I twied to escape once. Didn’t get vewy faw though, Wuna busted me.” Tirek laughed for a bit, then he looked up at Discord and said as sincerely as possible, “I sowie fow wuining ya biwthday pawty.” Discord giggled, “Ya kiddin? Becausw of ya, we had this gweat tawent show!” Chrysalis also giggled, “Yeah, this was weally fun.” Tirek actually began to feel woozy and his eyes began to droop as Twilight Velvet picked him up and whispered, “How about you all come with me to my house?” “Yeah, wets go to Twilie’s mom’s house!” The foals shouted as they clambered onto Twilight Velvet’s back. “Oh, this is going to be great! I’ve always wanted grandkids, wait til you meet the wonderful stallion I married!” She cooed. Twilight could only give a sheepish smile upon seeing that her mom was getting a bit carried away. She just knew there would be plenty of embarassing family photographs that would be brought out for the little ones to enjoy. Twilight Velvet now had all the foals in her lap with her, holding the photo album for the foals to see. “There’s Shining when he was a foal. Even back then he was royal guard material, always trying to stand guard over something.” Chrysalis saw the pudgy Shining Armor in a diaper trying to stand up tall and proud, and giggled, “He’s a cutie bug.” Tirek was the next to giggle, “Wook thewe’s Shining in potty twaining.” He pointed to a picture of a toddler Shining Armor with his diaper pulled down and a piece of toilet paper stuck to his bottom left leg, as he eyed the toilet as if it were a monster. “Wook, that's Twily in potty twaining!” Sombra exclaimed, pointing to a picture of toddler Twilight gleefully reading “Everypony Poops” while Shining sat beside her, holding his breath while covering Smarty Pants’ eyes with a hoof. Nightmare Moon laughed the hardest of all. “Hewe’s Twily putting Smawty Pants on the potty and weading to hew! It’s wike she tinks the doll is weal!” And indeed it was true, a slightly older Twilight (if the pull-up was any indication) had Smarty Pants seated on the same training potty she used. Twilight just sat there in complete embarrassment, knowing that her greatest enemies were now looking at her baby pictures. Rainbow Dash flew in and smiled at the scene. “Oh ,even I can't stand it, this is too adorable!” Twilight turned to look at the brash speedster, glad to have something else to occupy her attention. “Rainbow Dash, did Scootaloo get on the train?” Rainbow Dash sighed, “Yeah, everypony is heading back to Ponyville with her. I was going to go too, but I wanted to spend some more time with the foals,” She then turned to Twilight’s Velvet and said, “It seems they’ve taken quite a liking to your mom.” Twilight sighed, “Yeah, whatever. At least when Dad was here he didn’t break out the embarassing stories and family photographs.” “Do I hear jealousy?” Rainbow Dash asked, nudging Twilight. Twilight groaned, “No, I’m not jealous. I’m just embarrassed because my mom is making me look like a laughing stock.” Just then Sombra laughed, “Wook, it’s baby Twily without hew diapee.” All the foalafied villains laughed at the photo of a naked baby Twilight running around the house, while a teenaged Cadence was trying to catch her and diaper her (a task that was easier said than done considering the diaper on her head), as Twilight came up and asked,”Uh, Mom? Can we do this some other time, please? I think I’ve been embarassed enough for one day.” Twilight Velvet realized she’d gone overboard with the embarassing photograps and closed the album. ”Alright dears, I think it’s time for night nights.” She cooed. “Awww.” The foals moaned. Velvet then took the four in her telekinesis, placed the foals in Shining’s old crib (Shining had been a bit big as far as foals went, Twilight had been more normal sized) and covered the four with a blue foal blanket. She then tucked them in and sang them a lullaby as they slowly fell asleep. When she finished they were all snoring peacefully under the covers as Twilight came up to her mom and asked, “Mom, how do ou do it? You make it look so easy.” Velvet smiled, “Practice, sweetie. You think I was always this good? You have no idea what you and Shining were like as foals. You especially were a little trouble maker, particularly during your potty training years.” Twilight blushed as her mom hugged her, and Velvet whispered, “You know that Tirek loves you.” Twilight sighed, “I thought he did before, but then he tried to escape and now it seems he loves you more.” Twilight Velvet was taken back, “Twilight, I'm not trying to replace you. Tirek is your foal, not mine.” Twilight looked up, “I know, it's not your fault. But it seems he’s more calm and happy with you than he is with me.” Twilight Velvet giggled, “Twilight, don’t you get it?” Twilight pondered and asked, “What do you mean?” Twilight Velvet replied. “Think about the past few months with the foals, how they changed your friends and what they’ve accomplished. Tirek didn't just dance and became how he is now just for me. He wanted to impress you, it was just that he didn't know how.” Twilight with a blank expression asked, “You...you mean he just wanted attention?” Twilight Velvet smiled, “Of course honey, think about it. He’s been in Tartarus for Celestia knows how long with nopony to talk to.” Twilight groaned, “And I thought he hated me. Gosh I can’t believe I was so dumb.” Twilight Velvet whispered with a smile,” Go talk with him, and you’ll see.” She and Rainbow Dash then both trotted out of the room. Now alone, Twilight went up to the crib and peered over it. Tirek was trying to get deep under the covers, as Twilight picked him up with her telekinesis and he looked at her and whimpered. “It’s okay, Mommy’s here for you.” She told him, as she took Tirek to her old bed, laid on her side and allowed Tirek to snuggle next to her. ”Mommy, di ya see me? I danced with Moony, and evewypony cheewed fow me.” Tirek happily whispered. Twilight cooed, ”I sure did, you‘re such a wonderful dancer.” Tirek hugged Twilight harder as she hugged him close and he whimpered, “I sowie Mama fow bein naughty. Do ya fowgive me?” Twilight looked into his eyes and whispered, “Of course I do, now would you like some of Mama’s milkies?” Tirek nodded his head. He went and crawled to her underbelly where her horn lit up, filling her teats full of warm delicious milk. She watched him silently as he suckled on her right teat without any complaining. She smiled at her adopted son and whispered, “Night Tirek, and thank you for forgiving me.”
