//------------------------------// // All Grown Up // Story: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star // by Zubric //------------------------------// Starlight awoke the next morning feeling refreshed and better than ever. She smiled remembering her dream about puppiess and let out a small giggle at the thought. As she did,  she felt a familiar sensation of the pacifier in her mouth and went cross-eyed, peering down at the purple handle. Pinkie’s gift had as she’d been told grown with her and now fit her mouth perfectly. The now big foal couldn’t help but grin, letting out another childish giggle before sucking on her pacifier contently. Several moments passed as she felt content to just snuggle under the sheets and stare up at the sparkling ceiling, keeping the pacifier bobbing. The thought of staying till her mommy came in to check on her came to mind but she shook her head and blushed. “Don’t be silly, Starlight, you’re all grown up now. You don’t need to be checked on.” The thought only made her feel more embarrassed, as she almost hesitated about her own wondering fantasies. Another minute passed without much happening as she lay still and sighed, realizing she was starting to get hungry. She shifted just not feeling the odd squishy feeling. “Wait, that can’t be right!” She thought. She had been diapered last night for sure, but there no way that the tiny thing would have stayed on a grown pony, let alone one that was rapidly aging up. She paused for only a moment before pulling the sheets aside and squeaked, cheeks going red as an apple at the sight. The diaper looked soaked from front to back, still hugging her rump. It would appear the magic left her body in the most natural way possible, quite fitting giving the situation. A second thought of letting Twilight get one last diaper change came to mind, as she slowly climbed out of bed and giggled once more. Twilight had been great this past week after all. Just as she considered taking it off, Twilight came into the room. “Good morning, Starlight.” She beamed glad to see her student was back to normal. Her eyes soon spotted the diaper and the state it was in. While she stared, she could hear her foal suckling on her pacifier. She took a moment to think of what to say, unable to not smile as Starlight just stared back at Twilight with a sheepish grin. After a few seconds she just reached over and patted the seat of the soggy diaper. “Aww, such a big filly.” “Hehe, yeah. At least the magic wore off,” Starlight shifted side to side, backing up a few steps while feeling self-conscious. “I, well, just thought that you might like one more chance to change a diaper.” Twilight tried to stay somewhat serious but couldn't manage to break the motherly mode she was going for. “Oh, is litte Star still needing Mommy’s help?” She snickered again and was about to speak up, only for her laugher to be joined by Starlight’s own. Once their laughter had settled down, Twilight spoke again. “Besides, your mommy should have had you potty trained years ago.“ Upon seeing her student’s blush grow deeper, she smiled and put a hoof over Starlight’s shoulder. “Sorry, couldn’t help it. How are you feeling?” “Fantastic actually. You made my week as a foal rather rewarding,” She meeped a moment later, realizing she still had the pacifier in, and took it out with a quick pop.“I rather enjoyed it, and you’re a great mother too, Twilight.“ She’d been so caught up in her gratitude, that she had hardly noticed Twilight using her magic to take the soggy diaper off, and wipe her student clean, before tossing the used undergarment away. Twilight patted her student’s head motherly while blushing. “Aww, thanks. It came naturally, surprisingly. You were just so cute, plus the experience was delightful.” The princess could still smell the foal powder stuck on Starlight’s coat, but let it slide. The quiet moment was soon broken though, as Starlight hugged her, before pulling back. Starlight rubbed the back of her neck, turning her head to looked out the window. She moved her lips, trying to say what was on her mind but felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her cheeks again. Twilight stood there waiting, and gave her time to contemplate. “W-what if I wanted to be a foal again?” “Again? What do you mean?” Twilight asked, watching the pacifier dangle from Starlight neck. “I mean just acting like a foal at some point. It’s relaxing, and could be fun,” Starlight confessed. The memories of the week came to mind, the simple pleasure of making towers of blocks or scribbling art was just so pleasant, and without worry. She let out a chuckle. “I mean at least when I’m big, you won’t have to deal with messy diapers. I can just use the bathroom,” The shifting grew a little more. “You’d like to be a mother again too, I bet?” “Well I’d be lying if I hadn't been thinking about last week,” Twilight acknowledged, and she watched as Starlight bounced up and down like a child. “I guess we can do it when you’re in the mood. Might make a nice friendship lesson about trusting others.” “Oh thank you, Twilight!” Starlight squealed, giving her friend another hug before setting the pacifier back in, causing it to bob in and out. “You know, I wouldn’t mind another adventure at some point. Where is that book anyway?” “It’s just in the library. I was looking it over and it turns out that there are other adventures in that book beside the one we went in.” Twilight explained. “Like Daring Do kind of adventures?” Starlight asked. “Yeah and even a zompony apocalypse one I think,” Twilight watched the big foal suckle the pacifer more, before taking Starlight’s hoof and tugging her along like a mother. Seeing no signs of a protest she kept leading. “Now come along Starlight, it’s time to eat.” The princess cooed. As they entered the hallway, the two ponies heard Spike yelp from the library. Twilight reacted instinctively, and rushed to the door! “Spike are you okay?!” Hearing no reply, she turned the knob! Upon opening the door, Twilight began to snicker a bit. Spike was standing by the open adventure book, sporting a thick white diaper with gem patterns, and a bonnet tied around his neck. He held in his claw, a rattle like version of the dragon scepter. The dragon groaned and blushed heavier, trying to drop the toy but only making it rattle. “Gah, can’t let go!” He lisped around the pacifier planted in his mouth. “Aww, did Spike peek into a diary again?,” Starlight teased, well aware it wasn’t the case. Twilight came over and with the help of a little bit of magic was able to open Spike claw, and set the rattle on the table. “I take it you got sucked in and went on some adventure too?” She asked, resisting the urge to daww at the attire he was in. Spike spat the pacifier out, gushing with embarrassment. ‘Y-yeah, was really weird but oddly fun,” The next moment, he felt Twilight’s hooves scoop under his armpits. He let out a squeak as she supported his weight like a baby! He blushed. “T-Twilight, stop it! I can walk fine.” He stood there, not taking a step, too shy to do such an embarrassing thing. Starlight snickered, admiring how motherly Twilight was being (even if it was also teasing). She clapped her hooves lightly. “Come on, Spike, come to Starlight.” She tried her best to keep a straight face. Spike groaned, indicatively wiggling to no avail, and soon began to waddle towards Starlight with ‘help’ from Twilight. “Oh, he’s growing up so fast,” Starlight cooed, slowly backing out of the door as the baby dragon was led along. This little game felt rather fun, and just to top off the childish activity, she proceeded to stick out her tongue and maKe faces at Spike. “Starlight, stop it!” Spike whined, as Twilight continued to walk him along the hallway. As Starlight led them both along to the kitchen, she was filled with a joyful glee over having a new mommy of sorts. Even if it would only be once in awhile, they had made this connection. Twilight was always looking out for her before, but now it was different. They were a family, she just hadn’t seen it until now. Whatever wacky adventures were to come, at least she’d have them by her side. “Come on, Spike, follow your big sister.” She let out a laugh, embracing her new look on life.
