//------------------------------// // Padded visit pt. 2 // Story: Like a Baby // by Forever Young //------------------------------// "And here I thought I'd have to send out a search party," Celestia said jokingly as Twilight entered. Twilight walked over to where Celestia was sitting as swiftly as she could, trying to make as little noise as possible. She had to keep telling herself it was ok, that nothing bad could possibly happen, but a large part of her didn't want to believe that. "I hope i'm not getting in the way of anything by dropping by like this," Celestia said, "I'm just taking a small vacation, and didn't want you stressing over a casual visit." "You're not getting in the way of anything at all," Twilight said, "Just wasn't expecting company is all." "And who's you're new little friend?" Celestia asked. "This is Ginger Lily, my stress therapist," Twilight said. "Nice to meet you," Celestia said. "Nice to meet you as well, your highness," Ginger said. "Please, just Celestia is fine," Celestia said, "So, what kind of therapy do you do?" Ginger and Twilight exchanged a quick glance, mentally choosing who would say it. Twilight swallowed lightly, figuring she was gonna be the one to say it. She sighed and turned back to the Princess. "It's um... It's age regression therapy," Twilight said softly, her face warming up. "Come again?" Celestia said. "Regression therapy," Ginger said, "It's a method where one pony is mentally regressed down to the age of a young toddler, basically an infant, and is cared for as if they were really that young. I'm her caretaker." "Ah, well that certainly explains a couple things," Celestia said, "And it works, I take it?" "Yea, it um... it actually helps a lot," Twilight admitted. "Well, that's all that matters," Celestia said, "Now, I didn't come down here to sit on my flank and talk all day. What do you girls want to do? I'm open to suggestions." "Well, how about heading over to Sugarcube corner?" Twilight asked, "I could actually do with a good treat right about now." "Then what are we waiting for?" Celestia asked. "First, I uh... got something I need to take care of," Twilight said, "But it won't take long, I promise." With that, Twilight was gone before either Ginger or Celestia could say another word. True to her word, she returned rather quickly, diaperless and ready to go. On their way to Sugarcube corner, they got the royal treatment of ponies bowing as they walked past... much to Celestia's minor annoyance. She just wanted to be treated normal for once. "Hey Princess!" Pinkie Pie yelled as the trio entered the little sweets shop, "Hey Twilight, hey Ginger!" Twilight and Ginger put in their order while Celestia looked over the menu. So many sweets, but she couldn't have them all. She eventually settled on a chocolate pie, banana split, and strawberry milkshake. With all orders placed, Pinkie flew to the kitchen to get everything ready as the trio took a seat at one of the tables. "So, what all do you plan to do for this vacation?" Twilight asked. "Tomorrow I'll be heading over to Horseshoe Bay, haven't been to the beach in forever," Celestia explained, "Should be fun." Crash, clang "I'm ok!" Pinkie called from the kitchen. Twilight just sighed and slowly shook her head. "I do hope you have fun," Ginger said, "This time of year, the beach should be fantastic." "Oh, I do hope so," Celestia said. Crash "I'm still ok!" Pinkie called out. "I'm gonna go help her out," Twilight said, getting up. "No need! Here you go!" Pinkie yelled as she reached the table. "Your culinary skills never cease to amaze me," Celestia said, "How you take a mess like the one you made and turn it into something sweet like you do is beyond me. And you're very fast on top of that." "Pie family secret," Pinkie said as she gave everyone their orders. "Oh come on, not even a hint?" Celestia asked, fake pouting. "Sorry, no can do," Pinkie said, sliding back to the counter. "She's good. Even the face didn't work," Celestia said softly to herself. "That's just Pinkie, an enigma in pony form," Twilight said as she sat back down. The trio talked a little more, laughing and having a good time. The whole time, Twilight's bladder kept filling up. She didn't pay it any mind for the first little while, but then it hit her. She couldn't ignore it any longer, but decided to just let go like she had been doing the past couple of weeks. She remembered all too late that she wasn't actually diapered, and all her pee soon started cascading down to the floor. "Twilight, is everything alright?" Celestia asked as Twilight's face turned bright red. "Yea, everything's fine," Twilight said, trying hard to play cool. "You know, you really are a terrible liar," Ginger pointed out, "You just had an accident, didn't you?" "I... I... I just got caught up in the moment, and I forgot I took my diaper off before we left, and I just..." Twilight explained as she quickly turned into a humiliated mess. "It's alright, Twilight, it's ok," Ginger said, pulling the distressed alicorn into a tight embrace. Without saying anything, Celestia lit up her horn and the mess was swiftly cleaned up. The smell lingered momentarily, but not for long, and it was hardly noticeable anyway. Eventually, Twilight calmed down, but still felt completely humiliated. As soon as she got a free moment, Ginger suggested the three go to the park to relax and forget about this whole incident. Wanting to take her mind of having wet herself like that, Twilight quickly agreed, and they all headed off.
