In the royal dining room, there was a big buffet big enough for the entire table. Discord was eating what looks to be some kind of jello that was supposedly alive, and it wailed each time he took a bite out of it. Chrysalis was eating some interesting slime substance that apparently was very rough, but still soft in nature. Meanwhile, the rest of the group were eating some food made from the royal kitchen; consisting of some sandwiches, salads, and some wraps filled with certain wild flowers, lettuce, and herbs.

“Wow. I’m impressed. You guys have really outdone yourselves”, Sombra said before taking another bite out of his sandwich. “Oh cmon”, began Cadence, “it’s no trouble really. We’ve just thought that you guys would’ve been parched from the trip is all.” Sombra nodded, “true, we were. But wait..” he paused, “..what are we gonna do after this? Like, what about all those ponies back in the castle hallways?” Flurry Heart gulped and looked at Shining Armor; who then said, “it’s fine really. I still have some royal guards still capable of bringing the injured to the medics.” Sombra nodded again, and said, “nice. You know, for my enemy and all..” he paused to gulp his food down before continuing, “..you really are organized. How’d you do it ever since you first took over the kingdom when I was defeated?” Shining Armor paused eating, and then said, “well, I did get some help from my wife here after all”, he said with a smirk. “Besides, you’re not the only one who had help right?” Sombra paused for a bit, and then said, “true, true. But there’s really no need to be so smug about it”, Sombra said with a frown of annoyance. “He he, my bad”, Shining blushed, right before continuing his meal.

After all five of them finished their dinner, they all got up and stretched before going to their respective rooms for the night. Discord went to a random bedroom whilst traveling through a portal he created. Cozy Glow was looking around; trying to find out which ones her room for the night. Chrysalis was finishing her meal, and began to go look for her room as well. Meanwhile, Sombra and Flurry Heart were just about to walk back to Flurry’s room to go and grab their stuff so they can unpack it. But, right before they could, Flurry started to feel uneasy, and started to tug onto King Sombra’s cape. This caused him to stop, turned to Flurry, and then asked, “what’s the matter kid? Need something?” Sadly, before Flurry could answer, they both heard a noise coming from Flurry’s diaper. Before they knew it, Flurry has wetted herself. Flurry Heart then looked down at her now soiled diaper, and then started to tear up. “Aww, it’s okay. Come here.” Sombra then picked up Flurry Heart, and gave her a hug. Unfortunately, this made Flurry Heart start to cry from not only the fact that she just wet herself, but she also was feeling embarrassed because she peed her pants. Not to mention that King Sombra heard it too. “Hey hey, it’s okay. Cmon, let’s get you cleaned up”, Sombra said as he then started to carry her towards her room.

Once the two entered the room, Sombra then began to sit Flurry Heart down on her changing table, so he can go look for some of Flurry’s diapers to change her with. Just then, Chrysalis entered the room, and asked to see if everything was alright. “It was..” Sombra began, “...until a little princess couldn’t hold it in any longer.” Chrysalis looked confused, and asked, “so did she, I don’t know, have an accident?” Flurry Heart started to cry again, and nodded. Sombra sighed, and then asked, “hey, since you’re here, do you wanna help me change her?” Chrysalis blinked, and asked, “why?” Sombra rubbed the back of his head with a slight sweat and said while chuckling nervously, “well.. he he, you see... I.. don’t know how to change diapers.” Chrysalis raised her voice in surprise, and asked, “you what?” with a slight angry tone. Sombra chuckled nervously again while still sweating slightly, and then said, “yeah... sorry bout that, he he.” Sombra then asked again, “so you’ll help me?” Chrysalis sighed in annoyance, and then said, “fine. But it doesn’t mean that I’m helping you. I’m only trying to get this child out of that, ‘thing’, so that way it won’t smell in here.” Flurry Heart then started to cry again in embarrassment, and then said with tears in her eyes, “it’s not funny.” Sombra asked Flurry, “no one’s laughing at you are they?” Flurry shook her head, “uh uh”, and started to wipe her nose. Sombra nodded, “exactly”, before approaching Flurry Heart, and asked, “you ready?” Flurry Heart nodded, lifted her legs, and then said, “make it quick”, while still having tears in her eyes. Sombra sighed, and said, “alright then, here we go”, before snapping his shadow fingers before he got to work.

After what felt like hours, (despite it being only a few minutes), Sombra and Chrysalis successfully changed Flurry’s diaper; albeit with Flurry making it a bit difficult by moving too much because of her being ticklish. “So”, said Sombra with gasping breaths, “now that that’s over with... what do we do now?” Chrysalis breathed for a bit, and said, “let’s get ready for the night before we get too tired, or pass out, okay?” Sombra said, “alright”, and went to go unpack his stuff so he can get ready for the night.

After Sombra returned to the room; having gotten ready for the night, Flurry Heart was laying in her bed, and was starting to fall asleep. Sombra laid next to Flurry Heart in his guest bed, and asked, “you feeling okay now?” Flurry Heart nodded, and said, “thank you; for changing me. And for everything.” Sombra chuckled, and said, “no problem. Anything for a little stink bomb”, he smirked. Flurry growled a bit, and laughed; having been playful to her new friend. Soon enough, both began to fall asleep. 

The royal parents went asleep already; long before everyone else. Discord and Chrysalis were in their rooms, brushing their teeth and getting ready for bed. As mentioned already, King Sombra and Flurry Heart were already asleep; after getting ready for the night of course. However, Cozy Glow was looking all frightened while wondering the halls, and then eventually saw Flurry’s room. She then softly opens the door and asked, “c-can I come in?” Sombra woke up slightly, and said, “come on in, it’s okay.” Cozy obliged, and went inside before closing the door behind her. “Y-you know..” Cozy began with slight nervousness, “I-I’ve been thinking... c-can I sleep with you guys?” Sombra and Flurry woke up a little, got up slightly, and both asked, “why?” Cozy got a little teary eyed, and explained, “I-I don’t wanna sleep on my own tonight. I-it’s too scary. A-and I don’t wanna be alone.” Cozy then started to cry. Sombra got up, placed one of his shadow hands on her back, and said, “hey hey, easy now. Hey, why don’t you share the bed with me tonight, okay? I can keep you safe. Flurry can too.” Sombra then pointed to Flurry Heart; who was nodding and pounding her forehooves against each other while trying to look tough. Cozy Glow giggled, and said, “okay then”, before smiling and wiping her tears away. Sombra then laid back down onto his bed; with Cozy Glow nuzzling up to him for comfort and warmth. Sombra smiled, and then asked, “need anything?” Cozy Glow shook her head, and said, “I’m good”, before nuzzling closer to Sombra, closing her eyes, and started falling asleep. Sombra turned to Flurry, and said, “goodnight princess”, before laying back down and starting to fall asleep as well. Flurry said, “night night”, and laid back down on her bed to fall back asleep.

And with that, all five of them; even the royal parents, were all fast asleep; waiting for the perfect day that’s about to happen tomorrow....
