Ever since the robotic nannies had taken over Ponyville and converted the town into a giant nursery, diapers had fast become a replacement for bathrooms. All of the toilets were locked up and locked down, no one was allowed access to them no matter what. Training potties were kept solely for emergencies if a particularly naughty foal took off their diaper and tried to make a mess on the floors.

Even those not native to Ponyville had to get used to this and other ground rules as they became powerless to fight the robotic nannies. Party Favor was one of them, as he and his group of friends (it felt weird to consider Double Diamond a friend after he’d previously worked for Starlight Glimmer in helping subjugate the village but a friend was a friend) had tried to liberate Ponyville as they had done for their little village. But they had failed and had now been separated. What had become of the others the balloon loving stallion didn’t know.

However, Party Favor wasn’t alone for long before he was presented with a visitor. One of the Ponyville natives (and what luck, it was a unicorn) was brought in to socialize with him. He instantly recognized this pony as Rarity.

“Party Favor?” Rarity blinked. “You’re here too?”

The stallion unhappily sighed as he confessed. “Yeah, I am. And so are my friends. I guess it was pretty foolish of us to think that four ponies could stand up to an army of robot nannies, especially when one of us is an earth pony and only one of us is a unicorn who uses their horn.”

Rarity was puzzled at that statement. “You mean you don’t use your horn? Why not, darling? Is something wrong with it?”

Party Favor shrugged his hooves. “I don’t know. Every doctor who’s ever examined it says they can’t find anything wrong, but I just never feel the spark that others feel. I feel more of a connection using my hooves. And as far as I know I’ve always been that way. I don’t think I was secretly born an earth pony or anything.”

The fashionista put a hoof around the stallion. “Well I for one don’t judge you. I’m not much of a magic user myself despite being a unicorn, though I will admit it does make certain things easier. But even then I’m much more of a hooves on pony, so long as it never involves having to get dirty,” And right as she said that an audible rumble in her stomach attracted both unicorns’ attention. “Er, speaking of messy…” Rarity blushed bright red. “I don’t suppose you know of any way to override the protocols regarding bathrooms and potties, do you?”

The balloon loving stallion shook his head. “Afraid not, otherwise I probably wouldn’t be wearing this right now. If I had to wear a diaper I’d want it to be as unique as I am instead of these plain, unpatterned white ones.”

Rarity frowned at that statement. “I see. How very unfortunate for me,” She sighed in resignation. “Much as I hate the thought of going against my many years of potty training, it seems I don’t have a choice in the matter. Terribly sorry for this, darling.”





But Party Favor had an idea! “Wait, Rarity!” He cried. “Maybe there’s a way I can help you with your current… situation.”

The fashionista raised an eyebrow in curiosity. “Oh? And what would that be, exactly?”

“There’s no way to get access to a potty, but maybe I can make a potty.” Party Favor answered.

“You can make a potty out of balloons?” Rarity wondered. “That seems like something Pinkie Pie would do if I asked her nicely.” Then she realised something. “What about the robotic nannies? They will take it away if you get caught!” 

“A potty shouldn’t be too hard to make.” The stallion replied. “And don’t worry, I’ll find a way to trick them.

Rarity nodded without hesitation. “Do your best to make a functioning proper throne model toilet. I’ll… concentrate on not releasing, which shouldn’t be too hard for me, I hope.”
So Party Favor set to work, constructing a potty entirely out of balloons that he seemed to pull from out of nowhere. After a lot of delicate hoof work, his creation was finished and ready for testing. “Okay, one balloon potty just for you, Rarity.”

The fashionista trotted over, eyeing the balloon made construction. “Does it flush?”

“Yes. You just gotta push a button, specifically this button,” Party Favor instructed as he pressed one on top of the balloon potty. Sure enough, it flushed. And when it did it ended up splashing and showering Rarity with some of its water. “Oops! I guess maybe I made the flush a bit too powerful.”

Rarity frowned as she shook herself to dry off. “I should be thankful it was clean at least,” Then a rather pungent order reached her nostrils. She realized at once where it was coming from. “Oh dear,” She blushed, barely able to stay calm. “Well, it was a valiant effort on both our parts, darling. But it seems I may have overestimated my ability to control my bladder and bowels,” She trotted away. “So much for trying to be a big pony. Oh, I shall simply never live this down!”

Party Favor, meanwhile, just trotted over and sat on his balloon potty after pulling down his diaper. “Oh well, guess I’ll be the only one who uses it.” He thought to himself as he relaxed and began tinkling. It’s too bad there was no “big pony” system within the nursery, he might have enjoyed using such perks to his advantage.

Well, at least he’d have it until the robotic nannies inevitably discovered it and confiscated it.





Once finished, Party Favor got off the balloon potty and made use of some wipes he’d made alongside the potty to clean himself up before flushing the potty again.

Rarity, meanwhile, just humphed as she watched the whole display with envy and jealousy. “Why is it that Party Favor can get out of diapers, even just temporarily, yet I cannot?” She thought to herself. “It simply isn’t fair.”
