//------------------------------// // Bathtime // Story: DustStorm's Treatment // by DuskShadowBrony //------------------------------// "I think those gauwds wecognized me." We were headed to the baths. Luna nodded. "I think so, too. At least they didn't ask questions." I settled myself closer to Luna, burying myself a little in her flowing mane. "How come many pony know me?" I barely noticed my grammar mistake this time. Luna stopped walking. "... You blew up the final examination room for the Royal Guard Academy." she said. "The proctors were unhurt, but one just had his mane combed." she laughed as she remembered the incident. I folded my hooves. "Well they towd me to destwoy all da tawgets. I did." Luna smiled and poked my stomach. "I know. That's why you were accepted into the elite ranks. Although you did knock yourself out with your own spell. How did that happen? Your magic isn't normally enough to do that much damage." "Magic suwge. I was newvous and, well... I panicked and I lost contwol of the magic awwows. I wish I couwd do it without suwge." another grammar mistake. At this point, I accepted my deteriorating speech and regressing state of mind, and the mistake didn't bother me. "That's not something a foal should be worrying about." We had reached the baths, and Luna started filling the tub. When it was full, she let me dip my hoof in. "Is it good?" she asked. "Not too hot, not too cold?" I nodded, and she removed my diaper and set me in the bath. I let her scrub me down, bubbles foaming up as she did so. When she was done, I gathered a cluster of bubbles and shaped them around my face. "I'm Stawswiwled the beawded!" I declared. "Gweatest unicown spellmastew of the Thiwd Ewa!" Luna laughed and also gathered a set of bubbles, molding them into a pointed hat. "Well I am MorningSun, second greatest Unicorn of the Third Era! I've come to follow your research, great Starswirled!" "Oh, my appwentice, you awe so smawt! You help my weseawch so much!" I rose my hoof in the air. "Such an honor, Starswirled!" Our fun was interrupted by a knock at the door. "Little sister, what are you two doing in there? There's only one bath on this floor, you know. I want to take a bath." Celestia's voice came through, in a playful, joking tone. Luna opened the door. "We were just finishing up, Tia. Good to see you've recovered." she lifted me out of the bath and wrapped me in a towel. The white alicorn walked over to me. "How are you doing, Dusty?" she asked softly, lowering her head to my level. "Good. Mommy is weally nice." I answered. Celestia winked. "Glad to hear it." Luna came over, and rediapered me. "Let's leave Tia alone, she sings in the bath, trust me, you don't want to hear that." she smiled her mischievous smile, and rushed me out, before Celestia could say anything.
