//------------------------------// // chapter six: Twilight's Academy for Foals // Story: Foalish Desires // by Foal Star //------------------------------// Twilight woke up in a train blinking as she realized she must’ve dozed off while on her trip to the Crystal Empire. She was planning to visit her brother Shining Armor for a few days and get away from the day-to-day job of being a full-time princess, which was much duller than she realized. As the mare was waking up, rubbing her eyes, and moving about a little, she heard a strange crinkling noise and felt like something was off. Curious where that noise was coming from, Twilight looked down to see she was wearing a school uniform and squeaked, seeing a giant white poofy diaper strapped around her rump. “Eeep, what am I wearing!?” Starlight woke up next to her, yawning and stretching her hooves. “Twilight, can you keep it down!? I was having a nice nap dreaming about kites.” Twilight looked over and saw she was also wearing the odd uniform. “Starlight, look what you're wearing!” “What?” Starlight asked, confused, looking at it and adjusting the skirt. “It's what we usually wear.” “Is it?” Twilight asked, tilting her head as he scratched her neck. She tried to think of how she got here but was drawing a blank. As the train came to a stop, Cheerilee came on board looking rather cute with a white apron tied around her waist. “Hello, I’m nanny Cheerilee; I see you two are my new students.” Twilight rose from her bench. “Wait!? Don’t you teach grade school? We’re adults!” Cheerilee popped a pacifier into Twilight’s mouth. “That was rather rude; please raise your hoof and wait to be called on next time. As for what I teach, I teach at the newly built Foal University, and you two are here to test out the new curriculum.” Starlight rolled her eyes, “It seems like Twilight conveniently forgot.” Twilight pouted; she didn’t remember signing up for this? She tried to concentrate as her lips idly suckled on the pacifier while she tried to get her thoughts straight. “Oh well, foals often forget things,” Cheerilee teased, giving Twilight's cheek a light pinch. “Now come along; I need to show you two around.” Starlight got up, shaking her tush a little before taking a saddlebag full of diapers and foal supplies. She then whispered, “Hey, Twilight need a change before we leave?” Twilight cheeks flushed red as she raised her skirt, but she saw her diaper. It was rather adorable, with little suns printed on the padding for wetness indicators and yellow leak guards. Luckily it was dry, but this made Starlight burst into laughter, “got ya! You look cute in your Celestia brand diapers.” “Shut it; they were on sale!?” Twilight growled, and she blinked, wondering why she said that...or did she? Starlight raised her skirt, showing she had moons and dark blue leak guards. “I got the Luna ones cool, huh?” Twilight giggled, seeing Starlight’s diaper was much more significant, “those are nighttime diapers, silly! How do you plan on walking all day in those!?” Starlight’s cheeks flushed red, “oh...right…I’ll just have to deal with it,” she replied, having a much larger waddle as they exited the train. The campus was brightly lit with vibrant colors straight out of a children’s coloring book. The sun in the sky even oddly had a smiling face upon it. Twilight scratched her mane. “Uh...what’s with the sun?” “Oh, it’s just an illusion spell; Celestia did that,” Cheerilee commented. Starlight shuffled over to the playground and saw how big it was. “Wow, you guys went all out?” “Yes, we want to keep our students fit and healthy,” Cheerilee added, letting the two wonder. Starlight nudges Twilight, pointing to the seesaw. “Want to play a little?” Twilight, with an ever-present blush, shifted and looked around. She hadn’t played on one of those since she was a filly. “I guess sure,” she said, waddling her way over as the two climbed on the seats. The diapers no doubt crinkling as they began to move up and down. Each downward motion causes a puff of air too. Cheerilee watched, standing by like a parent, and waited for the two to play for a bit listening to Twilight starting to giggle past her pacifier. Twilight hadn’t felt this good in a while, feeling no worries at all as she played. After a bit, she looked over at other items and gestured “oh, is that a pirate ship,” She said, seeing the brightly blue-colored ship set with a giant toy wheel and the like. The underside even had portholes on the lower deck near the sand. She then saw that Cheerilee was writing something down, and she asked, “Hey, what is ya doing?” “Oh, just grading you; seems you have quite the imagination, needs Twilight, just pretend like I’m not here,” Cheerilee commented. Starlight waddled over and asked, “Hey Twilight can I join your crew?” She played. Twilight blinked as the paper hat that was upon Starlight's head for whatever reason shifted into a pirate hat. “Oh yes, of course, let's get on board.” She waddled her way up the ramp onto the ship, already hearing the waves of the ocean. Indeed an active imagination. Putting a little paper hat on her head, she moved over to the pole and raised the flag, giggling. “I call her The Bookshelf.” Starlight soon pointed out into the yard. “Oh no, it’s the royal navy here to take our treasure back. Twilight took out a dashboard full of colored lights and sounds and shouted, “I'll fire the cannons you need to load them!” “Ok, captain Twilight!” Starlight filled the play cannons with foal powder from the saddlebag and shoved giant foam balls into them. Soon the entire play area was covered with a fine foal powder making everything smell foalish. At the same time, they hit the other ship with the foam balls. The yard in front of the boat became quite cluttered with all the toys as they played, soon watching as the pretend ship sank. The two happily bump diapers together in celebration. Once the battle was done, Cheerilee saw the mess and came over. “Alright, little ones, I think we should start cleaning up. There’s still much to do.” “Awwww,” All the foals whined. “Do we have to?” Twilight gave cute puppy dog eyes to the teacher. “Come on now, Twilight, you want a good grade on clean up, don’t you?” Twilight squealed, clapping her hooves, “yes! I want an A!” she scuttled off, helping the other foals put the toys in a chest and swept up the foal powder. After they cleaned up, Starlight came over to the cutie mark crusaders (who were also padded up with cute diapers with ABCs in primary colors printed all over her diaper). “So, are you our classmates?” Apple Bloom shook her head, “sorry, we're a grade ahead of you! But we will see you around.” “No way we're older than you!” Twilight whined. Scootaloo pointed at Twilight, “yeah, that’s why we know how to be foalish better than you.” Twilight tapped a hoof to her chin, “is there any way we can skip a grade?” Sweetie Belle came over and explained, “yeah, but ya gotta be ready to do some embarrassing stuff...first off, you haven't even used your diaper yet.” Twilight blinked and saw the cutie mark crusader's diapers were yellowed. “That's right, you three need a change,” Cheerilee chimed as she laid the three down on a changing pad and changed their diapers. Twilight turned to Starlight, who replied, “um...what if we use our diapers together?” “B...b...but I do wanna,” Twilight whined with a pout. Starlight squeaked, “but if we do, we might get extra credit and get better grades!” “F...fine! But just peeing, okay?” Twilight whimpered, feeling embarrassed for having done such a foalish act. Cherrilee cooed. “Aww do you two need a bottle to help you pee?” she asked. “N-no i-i can do it, j-just turnaround,” she said sheepishly. Cheerilee did as Twilight asked and covered her eyes with a hoof. Starlight held Twilight’s hoof as they peed their diapers together, and they swelled up. After they finished, Twilight stammered, “Ch...Cheerilee, we...um...need a change...please….” “Of course, and don’t feel embarrassed; I expect you to use your diapers.” Cheerilee cooed as she got around to changing them. Twilight looked away, only feeling her rump wiped, powdered, and retaped in fresh padding. The sun prints sparkle a bit when secured in place. Twilight kicked her legs to make her diaper rustling.”t-thank you,” Helping them up to their hooves, Cheerilee began to lead them into the university. The middle of the lobby had a plush purple dragon statue. It held a coloring book in one claw and a rattle in the other. Twilight paused for a second, blinking. “W-wait, is that Spike?” “Of course, he is our puffy padded mascot,” Cheerilee stated, gesturing at the padding the statue wore. “Hehe, maybe next time you get changed, you can have diapers like his.” As the group walked further, they were brought to the large classroom with a foam mat to sit on and even more toys to play with. One corner even had bouncers. The usual stationery like ink and quills were gone, replaced with crayons and hoof paint. Cheerilee had them all seated as she took a chalk and drew a diaper on the board, a bottle, and a pacifier. “Today, we’re going to learn baby talk. Now for foals learning to talk, you want to sound as cute as possible and have adorable names for things you want.” She pointed to the diaper, “these can be called Diapees, nappies, or potty.” She pointed the ruler at Twilight, “now explain using a diaper in a sentence as a foal would.” “Um...I...um...pee-pee in my diapee.” Twilight squeaked, feeling so embarrassed having said that out loud. Starlight snickered, clapping her hooves. “Wow, you sounded like a toddler who had an accident.” “Shut it!” The violet alicorn shouted. “Now, now settle down,” Cheerilee scolded; she then pulled out two bottles and cheered, “Now for the bottle, this can be called baba. Starlight, I believe it’s your turn.” Starlight got up and whimpered, “um...I hungry, can I have a baba?” “Well done!” Cheerilee complimented as she clapped her hooves. “Most foals learning to talk sometimes just babble too when they learn new words.” She added Twilight tried asking a question, but only gibberish came out; the only word she managed to say was read. “Oh yes, I can understand foal babble, Twilight,” Cheerilee giggled as she gave them each a picture book. “Now, how about reading these in your new foal babble.” Both Starlight and Twilight blinked, being a bit confused, but they opened the book, and they both did their best to sound out the words. As hard as they tried to say them correctly, it came out as an incoherent foal babble with some spit and coos. Cheerilee just sat back, trying her best not to have a heart attack from all of the cuteness. After they finished, Cheerilee clapped her hooves, “Well done; you two are doing so well! Now it’s time for some fun!” She gave each of them some blank sheets of paper. “Can you paint a picture of me with your hooves?” They both nodded as Cheerilee cooed, ”also, for a bonus reward, whoever does the best gets to play with the mascot. The two gasped and got to work trying to paint Cheerilee. Hoof paint went everywhere as they slammed their hooves about, babbling and giggling as they did their work. Various globs of paint went flying, landing everywhere as they played. Twilight giggled soon after, taking a dip of blue paint and booping Starlight’s nose, clapping her hooves happily. Starlight, in return, booped back with some yellow paint. Cheerilee soon came over, peering at the messes upon the pages, and patted their head. “Oh my, what an artist you two are. I think you both are best.” They both squealed in delight and hugged Cheerilee with their hooves covered in hoof paint. Cheerilee giggled as she took them both on her back. “Good thing I'm wearing an apron; before you two can play with the mascot, you need a bath.” She then set off down the hall as the two giggled like foals bouncing up and down, oblivious to everything. After the bath, The two soon look at the door as the large plush Spike waddles in with his happy smile. “Heya kiddos, who's ready for a hug!” he chimed, shuffling over and quickly scooped the two into his fluffy embrace. The two hug it back as Twilight giggled, “Spikey so soft.” She feels so happy and carefree, with no princess duties or anything to bother her. “Aww, aren’t you a cutie,” Spike cooed, keeping the two close as he managed to carry the two big foals. “You two want to dress up?” he said, entering a big room full of all sorts of clothes. “Maybe you can be our cheerleaders.” Twilight raised a hoof as Spike asked, “yes?” “What's a cheerleader?” Twilight asked. Spike set the two down on the soft foam flooring as he answered. “Oh, they made others happy by dancing and cheering for the team.” Starlight squealed, running to the uniforms, “I wanna be a cheerleader!” “Nuh-uh, I do!” Twilight whined, waddling after her. “Oh, don’t worry, you both can cheer,” Spike said, showing off the dark purple onesies with sparkling stars on them with a frilly skirt by the hatch. The matching booties had big pom poms on them too. The two cheer as they let the mascot dress them up; their diapers were making a cute diaper bulge on the back as they are buttoned in. Once they were dressed, he escorted them to a stage where Cheerilee came over. “Oh, they look adorable! I think they’re almost ready to graduate.” She placed two pink graduation caps on their heads. “Now go on and cheer!” They saw a crowd of school foals (all in diapers) clapping then the applause died down as the lights dimmed. The spotlights are then shown on Starlight and Twilight. Despite not knowing the words, the two began to chant. “Pamps, Pamps! Do a dance! We will win; they don’t stand a chance!” Starlight and Twilight bumped their padded rumps together, throwing up their hooves and shook their pom-poms. The chant soon turned to baby babble as they shook their pom-poms, around being somewhat hypnotized by the colorful shiny objects. Starlight then just plopped down and tried to chew on her pompom, and Cheerilee had to pop a pacifier into her mouth. “Now, now that’s not food, silly.” Twilight blinked, seeing how odd this all was for the first time and seeing Starlight almost acting like a foal. But these thoughts seem to dissipate as she and Starlight both were taken by the hoof and led away with the cheers of the foals dying behind them. “Come on, and I think it’s time for some babas then night nights.” Cheerilee cooed gently. Twilight and Starlight were now a small nursery with a giant crib, a bookcase full of storybooks, a changing table, a toy chest, two desks with crayons, and hoof paint. There were even two high chairs in the back. That's where Cheerilee placed them. “Now, how about some num nums.'' She took two bottles full of milk and placed them on their trays. Twilight pointed at her’s. “Um...where did this milk come from?” “Oh, it's a special Cheerilee milk cutie; I eat a healthy diet, so it’s full of nutrients,” The teacher explained. Starlight was already chugging away at her bottle, suckling down its contents. Twilight was more hesitant, slowly picking hers up and taking a few sips. But the milk was delicious, being so smooth and warm. She couldn’t help but continue to suckle the bottle until it was completely drained. Twilight gave a loud burp then placed the bottle back on the tray. The teacher did her best to wipe up Twilight’s mouth. “It’s alright; babies need to burp.” Starlight did so as well and spitting up a little too, and Cheerilee went to wipe her mouth as well. “All done.” Hey around then took the two down and undressed them and went about changing their diapers and giving them both thick nighttime diapers with sleepers covered in silvery stars. She then tucked them in the same crib. “Now, how about I read you a bedtime story? Whoever goes to pe- I mean to sleep the fastest gets extra credit.” Twilight snickered as Cheerilee read them a story about a padded princess going to college. It sounded rather cute and similar to what she went through...she was sure that maybe it was about her...but it was hard to concentrate with sleep, eventually making her eyelids droop. She could hear Starlight snoring by her. It was a fun school, and she hoped she could go tomorrow. Twilight jolted awake, seeing she was still on the train; she had to get her bearings realizing she must’ve fallen asleep on the train ride to see her brother. But what made her startled was something was between her legs. She peered behind herself to see a thick diaper with moons printed on them covering her rump. Twilight looked around, making sure nopony was about, then used her magic to remove the diaper and threw it out the window. “Ugh, who did that!? It must’ve been Pinkie Pie or Rainbow Dash...possibly Discord...” She grumbled, thinking over the suspects that could’ve pranked her...but the more she thought about it, the more she missed the feeling of that diaper. It might’ve had something to do with that odd dream she was having. She saw it was late at night...and she was the only pony on the train. Twilight used her magic to tape herself back in a similar diaper. Feeling comfortable and snug, she laid back and sighed, “I better just make sure to take it off as soon as I wake up….” “Don’t worry; mommy will take care of you.” Twilight blinked; she could’ve sworn somepony said something. She shrugged, falling back to sleep, feeling even more secure that maybe somepony would remember to change the diaper for her.
