//------------------------------// // The Foalsitter // Story: Fluttershy and Rainbow's Little Foal // by SuperPinkBrony12 //------------------------------// Aside from briefly returning home to make sure the trash was taken out, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash spent the night at Sugarcube Corner. They were a little unhappy about having to sleep in seperate sleeping bags, but even when Pinkie offered to give up her bed, the young couple refused. They didn't want to be a burden, and it had been a long time since they'd even truly hung out with Pinkie Pie. Taking care of Scootaloo had eaten up a lot of time they use to have to spend as they pleased. Despite the fact that she was sleeping in a crib she wasn't familiar with, and despite not having anypony to cuddle up with, Scootaloo slept peacefully. Her dreams were surprisingly absent of Diamond Tiara for a change, and instead were based on the fun times she'd had with Pound and Pumpkin Cake during the playdate. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash woke up a little early the next morning. Not sleeping next to each other had taken some getting use to, but they had managed to nod off at some point. Pinkie Pie awoke soon afterward. "Good morning you two." Pinkie Pie called cheerfully, as she got out of bed "I hope you both managed to sleep decently." "Eh, it's fine. It's better than when I use to sleep on the couch." Rainbow Dash said, yawning slightly. "It was a bit different, but I managed." Fluttershy added. "Want me to go check on Scootaloo for you?" Pinkie Pie asked, as the three friends (two of which were more than friends) made their way downstairs. "Just a sec Pinkie, there's something back at home that I have to get. I know Scootaloo will thank me for it later." Rainbow Dash replied, and took off for Fluttershy's cottage as fast as she could. "While she's gone, there's something about Scootaloo that I wanted to ask you about." Pinkie Pie said to Fluttershy. "What is it?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, it's a little something that I'm hoping you'll know more about than I do." Pinkie Pie replied, and told Fluttershy what it was. Scootaloo suddenly felt herself being roused from her sleep by a hoof tapping her lightly. She yawned, opened her eyes a bit, and sat up. It took her a second to remember what had happened. She had been exhausted from a night of fun with Pinkie Pie and The Cake Twins, and had felt herself nodding off as she was lowered into a crib. "Good, you're awake." Pinkie Pie whispered "Fluttershy told me you were a bit of an early riser." "Tat's twue. I guess it aww stems back to that owphange. Evewy day, we had to get up whenevew we wewe towd." Scootaloo said, wiping sand from her eyes "Then we had woww caww, and then a bathwoom bweak befowe bweakfast was sewved." "Speaking of bathroom, it looks like you opened your floodgates overnight." Pinkie Pie said softly, as she pointed to Scootaloo's diaper. Scootaloo quickly noticed her diaper's noticeably yellow tint, and somewhat cold feeling. But compared to her accident last morning, this felt rather tame. "Oh weww, I guess I've awways been a bit of a bed wettew." she said calmly "I guess I shouwd get changed though." "Well, before I change you into a clean diaper, do you wanna use the potty?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I'd wike to vewy much Auntie Pinkie, but I dun' tink that's possibwe hewe." Scootaloo replied "My twaining potty is back at home." "Actually, Rainbow Dash was kind enough to fly home and bring it here just for you." Pinkie Pie explained, as she picked Scootaloo up and carried her to the bathroom. "Weawwy? Mommy Wainbow Dash did tat fow me?" Scootaloo asked. "Take a look for yourself if you don't believe me." Pinkie Pie smiled, and opened the bathroom door. Sure enough, next to the toilet was a familiar plastic blue bowl. "So, you wewen't puwwing my weg. Mommy Wainbow Dash weawwy did fwy back home to get my twaining potty." Scootaloo stated, as Pinkie Pie removed her wet diaper and sat her on the training potty. "Yes indeedy, so be sure to thank her once I bring you downstairs." Pinkie Pie replied. "I wiww, but tat's not gonna be fow a whiwe. I dun' usuawwy go wight away when I use the potty. It tends to take me a few minutes at the vewy weast." Scootaloo explained. "That's quite alright, that means I'll have time to ask you something." Pinkie Pie replied. "What sowt of someting?" Scootaloo asked. "Well, do you remember when you flushed Diamond Tiara down the toilet 2 days ago?" Pinkie Pie asked "I wasn't here to see it. I heard about it afterwards from Pound and Pumpkin Cake." Scootaloo looked at the toilet. The memories of her recent experiences with it were still fresh in her mind. She could still remember how satisfied she'd been to see Diamond Tiara disappear down the drain, and how uncomfortable it had been to float in the toilet back home with a full diaper. "Of couwse I wemembew it. Why wouwd I fowget how much I enjoyed fwushing that twud of a pony, aftew she made fun of me?" "Well, I can't help but notice that there's something that you did when you flushed her, that you haven't given much thought to since." Pinkie Pie explained "And considering how much of a big deal you made out of it back before you were regressed, I'm surprised you've just brushed it aside. I mean, I would NEVER flush anypony down the toilet, but I know that if I did I would want to remember every detail of it." "Just what is she talking about? I don't want to play 50 questions, even if I'm currently sitting on a training potty, waiting to do my business." Scootaloo thought "Out with it Pinkie, what is it tat I've somehow ovewwooked?" she asked. "In order to have flushed Diamond Tiara, you first had to carry her into the bathroom and place her in the toilet." Pinkie Pie explained "But you're a foal now, and Diamond Tiara is bigger than you. So the only way you were able to flush her, was for you to fly. Something that you've never done before." "I fwew?!" Scootaloo asked, as if she weren't aware of the fact. "Pound and Pumpkin Cake said so, and they were in the same playpen as you. Therefore, it's not likely that they imagined things." Pinkie Pie replied. "I nevew weawwy thought about tat befowe, I dun know why." Scootaloo said in surprise "I guess, I just had otew tings on my mind at the time. Had somepony said someting about me fwying eawwiew, I pwobabwy wouwd've been awawe of it soonew." "Well, at least the good news is, you noticed it now, thanks to your auntie Pinkie Pie." Pinkie Pie said cheerfully. "Tanks for making me awawe of it. I onwy twied to do it one othew time, and the wesuwts were wess than pweasant." Scootaloo said, cringing in disgust as the memories of her first time doing number 2 in her diaper came crawling back to the surface. "Are you done going potty now Scootaloo?" Pinkie Pie asked a short time later. "Yes, I tink so." Scootaloo replied "I'm a big gwiw!" "You sure are Scootaloo!" Pinkie Pie agreed, upon looking inside the training potty. She proceeded to empty its contents into the toilet (with help from Scootaloo), flush them away, and put the training potty back down again. Then, she wiped Scootaloo until her butt was clean, and proceeded to put a new diaper on. Once she was finished, she washed her hooves, and brought Scootaloo downstairs, before heading up to check on The Cake Twins. "So, did you enjoy your first sleepover with The Cake Twins?" Fluttershy asked Scootaloo, as she let the pegasus drink from her teats. "I suwe did mommy Fwuttewshy." Scootaloo said, in between sucking. "Would you like to do it again sometime squirt?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It's wike you can wead my mind. Of couwse." Scootaloo replied, and continued to nurse. "We were hoping you'd said that." Mr. Cake said with a smile. "I know for a fact that Pound and Pumpkin Cake are glad to have a friend that's within their age group." Mrs. Cake said honestly "I was starting to worry that they might get lonely. Pinkie Pie is a good playmate, but they see her as more of an aunt." "Tat's cause Pinkie Pie is the gweatest aunt in the histowy of aunts!" Scootaloo cheered, after she had been burped by Fluttershy. "Aw shucks, do you really mean it Scootaloo?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Of couwse I do." Scootaloo replied. "Well, we were just about to have breakfast. Would you care to join us?" Mr. Cake asked Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. "What about Pound and Pumpkin Cake?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Their breakfast doesn't take as long to make. In fact, it should be ready just about... now!" Pinkie Pie stated, as she pulled two bowls of foal food out of the refridgerator. She then raced upstairs to fetch Pound and Pumpkin Cake. "It's amazing to see how nicely Pinkie Pie gets along with them. For a while, back when they were still unable to even speak, I was worried that Pinkie might get jealous of all the attention the twins would receive." Mrs. Cake admitted "In a way, she always has, and always will be, the daughter that Carrot and I never had." "Aw, that's a really sweet story." Rainbow Dash smiled. "Breakfast does sound good." Fluttershy said, shifting the topic of focus back to its original subject. "Good, that's settled. Now, you two just relax. We'll take care of the cooking." Mrs. Cake insisted. "And we won't take no for an answer." Mr. Cake added. "Very well then, surprise us." Rainbow Dash encouraged. Breakfast at Sugarcube Corner turned out to be a wonderful treat for Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Even though the meal consisted mostly of pancakes and hay bacon, the time spent talking to each other and to Mr. and Mrs. Cake, was most enjoyable. Scootaloo pretend to grossed out and made fake gagging noises when Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy kissed, but Pound and Pumpkin Cake easily saw through her rouse. "Why do you pwetend to be so disgusted by youw two mommies kissing?" Pound Cake asked Scootaloo at one point. "Yeah. Ouw mommy and daddy kiss each othew aww the time, and we tink it's the sweetest ting evew." Pumpkin Cake added. "Somepony has to wepsent the awesome side of wife now tat mommy Wainbow Dash is infected by the womance bug." Scootaloo lied "And tat somepony might as weww be me." "You just dun' want anypony to know that you secewtwy dun' mind it aww that much." Pound Cake stated. "Thewe's no shame in admitting you wike mushy stuff. You'we the same pony who fwushed Diamond Tiara down the toiwet just because she made fun of you." Pumpkin Cake encouraged "I tink that awone makes you coow in evewypony's eyes." "I guess you'we wight." Scootaloo admitted "But tat doesn't mean I have to wet evewypony know tat." "Guess you can't win them aww." Pumpkin Cake said with a sigh. "Now dun' you stawt acting wike Scootawoo too sis." Pound Cake replied "If anypony in this famiwy needs to act coow, it shouwd be me. And if you tink othewwise I'ww fwush you down the toiwet." "Thewe you go again thweatening to fwush me." Pumpkin Cake teased "But I know you'd nevew do tat. I on the othew hoof, pwobabwy wouwd and wouwdn't miss you at aww." "Haha, tat's wike the tenth time you've said tat." Pound Cake said with fake laughter. "Those two must really love to find new ways to make fun of each other." Scootaloo thought to herself "It's too bad I 'Pinkie Promised' not to flush anypony else down the toilet, or I'd gladly do it to anypony who found out about my secret, outside of Pound and Pumpkin Cake of course." "Thanks again for letting us all stay the night. I know Scootaloo really enjoyed it." Fluttershy said to Mr. and Mrs. Cake, as she put Scootaloo in the foal carrier. "We'll have to do this again soon, see you around." Rainbow Dash added. "Take care you two." Mr. Cake called. "And make sure you keep a close eye on Scootaloo, just in case." Mrs. Cake stated. It wasn't long before Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Scootaloo, arrived back home. One she was out of the foal carrier Scootaloo was put into a playpen in the living room, where Fluttershy could watch her. After putting the training potty back where it belonged, Rainbow Dash went out to retrieve the mail. "Hello again Rainbow Dash." Derpy called, landing on the front lawn "I heard the news about Scootaloo. Is it true, did you really turn her into a foal?" "Yes Derpy, but Fluttershy was involved in the decision as much as I was." Rainbow Dash replied. "I know that, I'm not going to judge you. In fact, you and Fluttershy should consider yourselves lucky." Derpy commented. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You've been raising Dinky on your own ever since your husband passed away." Rainbow Dash stated. "You would not BELIEVE how many diapers I went through in a week." Derpy said, an obvious sign of stress appearing on her face "And don't get me started on bottles. She was a little bundle of joy, and I've always loved her dearly. But boy does being a single mom take a lot of work." "Well, you seem to be doing a good job, all things considered." Rainbow Dash replied honestly. "Thanks, I'm glad you think so." Derpy said with a smile "Oh, before I forget, here's your mail for today. If you ever need any help, you know where to find me. Now, I must be off. These letters and packages aren't going to deliver themselves you know. Take care, goodbye!" And with that, Derpy flew away as fast as her wings (and her wall eye) would let her. "I have improved significantly since the time I foalsat Dinky." Rainbow Dash thought to herself. Remembering the one time she had agreed to foalsit Dinky, as a favor for Derpy. Dinky was barely a month old at the time, and she had run Rainbow Dash absolutely ragged. In the time since, Rainbow Dash was glad to see that she had come a long way. She quickly pushed that memory to the back of her head, and began to sort through the mail letter by letter. "Bill, bill, junk mail, junk mail, and more junk mail." she said to noone in particular. The bills were quickly placed on the kitchen table for Fluttershy to look at later, and the junk mail thrown into the trash. But Rainbow Dash was surprised when she saw that there was one letter left. Upon closer inspection, she saw that this one seemed to be a bit different from the others. "Hey Fluttershy, guess what?" Rainbow Dash asked, appearing in the living room. "From the look on your face I'd say you've just gotten some very good news." Fluttershy stated, taking notice of the happy mood Rainbow Dash seemed to be in. "It's not just good, it's great!" Rainbow Dash shouted, barely able to contain her excitement "I just got two tickets to a Wonderbolts show in Clousdale, tonight!" "Really?" Fluttershy asked. "Would I lie to you after everything we've been through together?" Rainbow Dash replied. "Oh thank you Rainbow Dash, you're the best wife ever!" Fluttershy cheered "But what about Scootaloo?" "About that," Rainbow Dash sighed "this show is apparently sold out. That means, the Cloudiseium is going to be packed! And I don't think little Scootaloo here would like that. Would you?" "No way, I dun' wanna be out in pubwic without my onesie that Auntie Wawity is making for me." Scootaloo said, shaking her head. "Besides, the show goes way past her bed time. And the last thing we need is a cranky little foal when we wake up in the morning." Rainbow Dash explained. "I guess you have a point there. Not to mention, it's been a long time since we've done something special just for the two of us." Fluttershy replied "But, if we're going to do this, then we need to make sure little Scootaloo has a foalsitter to look after her." "Right, so let's stop talking and start searching. We've got a long list of potential candidates to pick from." Rainbow Dash said, and turned to Scootaloo "Fluttershy and I are going to be going out for a little bit to find you a foalsitter for tonight. We need you to come along, since we can't just leave you alone." "Okay mommy Wainbow Dash. Okay mommy Fwuttewshy." Scootaloo replied, as she was lifted out of the playpen and placed back into the foal carrier. "Alright, let's head out and see if Miss. Cheerilee is available to foalsit." Fluttershy stated. But she, Rainbow Dash, and Scootaloo, had no sooner made it out the front door, when they approached by Diamond Tiara and Filthy Rich. Diamond Tiara seemed rather unhappy, but otherwise, you never would've even guessed that Scootaloo had recently humiliated her. And you certainly wouldn't have believed anyone who told you that she'd been flushed down a toilet (by a baby no less). "What do you want now Diamond Tuwdawa?" Scootaloo hissed "Come to make fun of me some mowe?" "Scootaloo, be nice." Fluttershy said sternly. "Why shouwd I after evewyting she's done?" Scootaloo asked crossly. "Because she's learned her lesson, and she's never going to do it again. Isn't that right Diamond Tiara?" Filthy Rich asked sternly. "Hmph, I still don't see why you're making apologize to the pony who had the nerve to flush me down the toilet and call me a turd." Diamond Tiara snorted "I should be allowed to flush her down the toilet, and see how she likes it." "If you did that, I'd personally see to it that you go Tartarus!" Rainbow Dash threatened. "Fortunately, after hearing everything that happened, I think I've come up with a way to make sure this bad blood goes away." Filthy Rich explained "The next time you need a foalsitter, Diamond Tiara is going to fufill that role." "What?!" Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara gasped. "There is no way I am foalsitting that little twerp!" Diamond Tiara protested "I absolutely refuse to even dirty my precious hooves changing soiled nappies!" "I wouwdn't want youw hooves touching me anyway." Scootaloo said crossly "You'we a bwat, and awways wiww be!" "Girls please, this is not up for debate. My decision is final." Filthy Rich said firmly. "I'm not gonna do it and you can't make me!" Diamond Tiara snapped. "I wouwdn't want hew to foawsit me if she was the wast foawsit in Equestwia!" Scootaloo shouted. Both Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara's will to resist faded fast when Scootaloo received "The Stare" at full power, and Filthy Rich threatened to take away Diamond Tiara's allowance. Reluctantly, the two ponies agreed to the arrangement, though they clearly didn't like it. "So, will Diamond Tiara be available to foalsit tonight?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Of course." Filthy Rich replied "Just name the time and I'll make sure she doesn't back out of it." "Then it's settled." Fluttershy stated. Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara wished it wasn't, but there was nothing they could do. "Awe you both absowutewy suwe Diamond Tiawa can be twusted?" Scootaloo asked Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy that evening, as they prepared to head out. "Not 100%, but we have to be willing to give her a chance to redeem herself." Fluttershy explained "Remember how no one was willing to give Discord a second chance when he claimed he was reformed?" "Don't remind me. I still can't believe he had the nerve to side with Tirek, over us!" Rainbow Dash said crossly. "Diamond Tiawa wouwd nevew do someting wike that." Scootaloo replied. "True, but if no one is willing to give her a chance, then she will never be reformed." Fluttershy said firmly. "She has just as much of a reason to behave as you do." Rainbow Dash added "So, try not to give her too much of a hard time. She's your boss while we're gone, and unless she's trying to hurt you or get you into trouble, you have to do what she says. Do you understand?" Scootaloo sighed "Yes mommy Wainbow Dash, I undewstand." "Good. And don't worry, if she causes any sort of trouble, she'll answer to us." Rainbow Dash replied. Just then, the doorbell rang. "Ah, that must be Diamond Tiara now." Fluttershy said, and opened the front door. Sure enough, there was Diamond Tiara. She seemed a little bit happier than usual, at least to Fluttershy. "I'm here." Diamond Tiara said flatly. "Thanks for coming over, we really appreciate this." Fluttershy replied, and led Diamond Tiara inside. Diamond Tiara just sighed "So, what do I have to do?" "We've prepared a list of instructions. Don't worry, they're very simple." Rainbow Dash explained, hoofing over said list to Diamond Tiara "Just do exactly as they say, and everything should work out just fine." "Angel will be keeping a close eye on you." Fluttershy added. "So don't even think about trying any funny stuff. If you do, we'll know about it." Rainbow Dash said ominously. "Yeah, yeah. I know. Now get going, or you'll be late." Diamond Tiara said seriously "The sooner you leave, the sooner you can come back here, and the sooner I can be done with this whole thing." "Goodbye Scootaloo, we'll be back late tonight." Fluttershy called. "Stay out of trouble kid!" Rainbow Dash added, and then she and Fluttershy set off for Cloudsdale. Diamond Tiara watched as the two pegasi disappeared into the sky. Once they were out of sight, she went back inside, and sighed. There was no point in trying to get her revenge. "Even if I just waited until Scootaloo fell asleep and then flushed her down the toilet, I'd never get away with it." she thought to herself "Because then I'd have to flush Angel, and there's no way I could cover up his disappearance." Scootaloo was a bit nervous now that the only thing standing between her and whatever sort of plans for revenge Diamond Tiara had in mind, was Angel. And although Angel wasn't a bunny to be taken lightly, he was just one bunny. "Hey Scootaloo, you having fun so far?" Diamond Tiara suddenly asked, appearing beside the playpen. Scootaloo did not know how to reply, especially considering how calmly Diamond Tiara had asked that question. "Uh, I guess I'm fine wight now." Scootaloo nervously replied. "Well, good. Just let me know when you get hungry, okay?" Diamond Tiara asked "In the meantime, why don't you play with a few of your toys?" And Diamond Tiara proceeded to place a couple of different foal toys in the playpen. She then sat down on the couch, and watched Scootaloo entertain herself. She had to admit, it was kind of cute. It brought back fond memories of a time in her life when things were much simpler. "Isn't it wonderful my little princess?" Diamond Sparkle Tiara asked her daughter, as she saw her infant daughter play with the different dolls in her playpen. "You bet it is mommy." Diamond Tiara replied sweetly, her diaper crinkling as she moved around the playpen. Fully endorsing herself into the roles she had assigned to each of the dolls. "Hold still Diamond Tiara." Filthy Rich instructed, as his daughter giggled and moved about on the soft padded surface of the changing table. "But daddy, the wipes are tickewing my wump." Diamond Tiara spoke in her lisp. "I have to get you cleaned up. We can't have a princess wearing a stinky diaper, now can we?" Filthy Rich asked. "How do you know pwincesses dun' weaw diapees?" Diamond Tiara replied "Maybe they'we just weawwy good at hiding them." "Potty twaining?" Diamond Tiara asked, as she looked at the pink plastic bowl with silver trim that had been placed in front of her. She had quite surprised when her parents had called her into the bathroom. "Yes Diamond Tiara. It's what all colts and fillies go through eventually." Filthy Rich explained. "But I dun' wanna weave my diapees behind." Diamond Tiara complained. "Look at it this way sweetie." Diamond Sparkle Tiara said, as she removed her daughter's diaper and placed her firmly on the training potty "You'll get a head start on this very important step in your life. Most colts and fillies your age still wear diapers. By the time they're potty trained, you'll already be ahead of them and will probably be moving on to the grown up potty." "But it's so big, and so scawy." Diamond Tiara said nervously, as she looked at the toilet. How could anypony expect her to sit on that, when it looked like it could gobble her up in a matter of seconds? "Don't worry, it'll seem a lot smaller when you're ready to use it." Filthy Rich smiled. "What I wouldn't give to just have one more day as a foal." Diamond Tiara thought to herself "Equestria seemed a lot less complicated back when I was in diapers." Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted when she heard a familiar rumbling noise coming from the playpen. "Diamond Tiawa, I'm hungwy." Scootaloo called. Diamond Tiara sighed "Alright Scootaloo, come here. It's dinner time." she walked over to the playpen, picked Scootaloo up, and carried her into the kitchen. Within seconds, she had placed Scootaloo in a highchair. "How awe you gonna feed me anyway?" Scootaloo asked "You'we not gonna-" "What?! No, of course not! That's disgusting!" Diamond Tiara replied, gagging at the thought of what Scootaloo had implied. "Weww then, how DO you expect to feed me?" Scootaloo asked. "Come on, use your brain a little. I know you still have one." Diamond Tiara said crossly "That checklist your parents gave me mentioned that some of their milk is stored in the fridge. I just need to heat it up a bit." And she pulled out a baby bottle that had a sticky note with the letter "B" written on it. "Oh, I see. I shouwd've known." Scootaloo replied, facehoofing at her stupidity. "Indeed you should have, because that's a mental image I could very well do without, thank you very much!" Diamond Tiara said furiously, as she put the bottle in the microwave and heated it up a bit. Within seconds, there was a ding, and Diamond Tiara took the bottle out of the microwave. "Sowwy about what I said earwier. I didn't mean to do it on puwpose." Scootaloo apologized, before she could say anything else, the rubber nipple of the bottle of breast milk was inserted into her mouth. "Don't talk, just drink!" Diamond Tiara instructed "One more word about 'You know what' and I'm putting you in the time out corner!" Scootaloo, respectfully, said nothing. She just continued to drink from the bottle until all of the milk was gone. Diamond Tiara then patted her on the back a few times, until she let out a rather loud burp "Scuse me." Scootaloo apologized. "You're excused, but you better not have done that on purpose." Diamond Tiara said furiously. Just then, an incredibly foul odor hit her nose full force. "Ew! That really stinks!" she complained. "Sowwy." Scootaloo apologized "It must be fwom eawwiew." "Geez, Scootapoo really does suit you right about now." Diamond Tiara said, putting a hoof to her nose "I guess we'd better get you changed before you get a rash." "Have you actuawwy-" Scootaloo asked. "Yes, I've changed a diaper!" Diamond Tiara interrupted "Are you going to keep asking me these stupid questions all night long?" "You dun' have to be so wude about it." Scootaloo complained, as she was quickly carried upstairs. Within a few seconds, she and Diamond Tiara had reached the bedroom. As they neared the changing table, Scootaloo noticed something familiar tucked into a corner. She tried to bring it to Diamond Tiara's attention. "Uh, Diamond Tiawa?" she asked. "Not right now, I need to get you changed before you stink up this place anymore than you already have!" Diamond Tiara said, cutting Scootaloo off, and placing her on the changing table. "Here, suck on this." she said, inserting the magic pacifier into Scootaloo's mouth. "Oh well, I guess there's no point in telling her now. She'll just have to find out for herself." Scootaloo thought, as Diamond Tiara prepared to change her. "Okay, let's just get this over with already. I'd better get payed good for this." Diamond Tiara complained, as she reluctantly opened Scootaloo's diaper. The smell was awful, and made Diamond Tiara want to puke. "Are you sure you didn't do THIS on purpose?" she asked Scootaloo. "I sweaw I didn't mean to go numbew 2 so badwy." Scootaloo replied, her voice muffled behind the magic pacifier. Despite the awful smell, Diamond Tiara was able to successfully bale up the dirty diaper and throw it into the diaper pale. Then, she took some foal wipes, and wiped Scootaloo down as best she could. After that, she shook the bottle of foal powder until she was certain Scootaloo's rump had enough of the substance, and after managing in some rash cream, she strapped up the new diaper. "Done!" she said proudly, and she washed her hooves with a conviently located bottle of hoof sanitizer. She then lifted Scootaloo off the changing table and removed the magic pacifier. "Tank you for tat Diamond Tiawa, you did a gweat job." Scootaloo said honestly, as she was placed in her crib. "Don't mention it, literally." Diamond Tiara replied "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to use the bathroom the way big ponies do. Just stay there until I get back." and she left the bedroom before Scootaloo could said anything else. However, when she tried the bathroom door, she found it locked. "What's going on?!" she thought to herself. She tried again and again to open the door, but it soon proved to be a lost cause. Deciding to consult the checklist in hopes of finding an answer, Diamond Tiara raced downstairs and into the kitchen, which is where she'd last left the checklist. She quickly began to skim through it, and soon found what she was looking for: P.S. Just so you don't think of trying anything, we've locked the bathroom door with a key. The key is hidden aware somewhere where you won't find it. Don't worry, we made sure to provide an alternative bathroom for you. You may find it in the bedroom, near the changing table. "Well, that's just great." Diamond Tiara said sarcastically, and headed back upstairs. "Hey Diamond Tiawa." Scootaloo called, as Diamond Tiara came back into the bedroom "I see you found out about the awtewnative bathwoom. I was wondewing whethew or not you'd notice." "Whatever, I'm in no mood to argue with you right now. Just, don't look over here until I tell you otherwise, okay?" Diamond Tiara asked. "Hehe, okay Diamond Tuwdawa." Scootaloo chuckled, but did as she was told. The so called "alternative bathroom" consisted of nothing but a blue training potty, disposal wipes, and the hoof sanitizer from the changing table. Normally, Diamond Tiara would've complained, but right now she had to go so badly that she didn't care. Despite her size, it was not too difficult for her to position her rear over the bowl, everything else just came naturally. It was as if she were using a regular bathroom stall. In a matter of seconds, Diamond Tiara had finished her business, and proceeded to wipe herself clean. As she did so, more memories began to play in her mind: "Look daddy, look mommy! I'm doing it! I'm using the potty like a big filly!" a toddler Diamond Tiara cheered, as she sat on her training potty and did her business. Both her mother and her father were very proud. "Good job Diamond Tiara, that's daddy's little princess!" Filthy Rich said happily. "See Diamond Tiara? I knew you could do it if you just put your mind to it." Diamond Sparkle Tiara smiled. Her normally sweet voice had been replaced by a rather rasp and scratchy one. This was a result of an illness that had been bothering her for weeks. "What's wrong with mommy?" Diamond Tiara asked her father, as Diamond Sparkle Tiara was loaded onto a stretcher and carried into a waiting ambulence. "She's sick Diamond Tiara." Filthy Rich replied, his tone of voice indicating that he wasn't telling the whole truth. "So, why is she being taken to the hospital?" Diamond Tiara asked "I get sick all the time, and I never have to go to the hospital." "Because she's very sick Diamond Tiara, and she hasn't been getting better." Filthy Rich explained "She's going to the hospital so that the doctors there can make her feel better." But that soon turned out to be a lie. "Please mommy, you have to get better! There's still so much we have to do together!" Diamond Tiara pleaded. Diamond Sparkle Tiara lay in a hospital bed, her condition having only gotten worse since her arrival. She barely even looked like a pony now, her mane and tail having lost their natural shine. "Diamond Tiara, the doctors have tried everything they can! Nothing's working!" Filthy Rich admitted. "No, she can't be dying! She has to get better! She just has to!" Diamond Tiara said frantically "She never even got to see me get my cutie mark. And I'm still struggling with the move to the big pony potty." "Diamond Tiara, I know you will find a way to accomplish those things." Diamond Sparkle Tiara replied, her voice barely audible "After all, you managed to complete your potty training far quicker than I expected. No matter what happens, don't give up my daughter. If you put your mind to it, you can do anything." And with those words, Diamond Sparkle Tiara breathed her last. Her eyes closed, and the machine she was attached to let out a long, continuous beep. "Mommy!" Diamond Tiara cried, weeping heavily as her father pulled her out of the room. "You nevew weawwy knew youw mothew vewy weww, did you?" Scootaloo asked Diamond Tiara. "How did you-" Diamond Tiara stated. "I can sense these sowt of tings." Scootaloo explained "At weast you stiww have youw fathew. My pawents dumped me at the Ponyville Owphange when I was just a baby. I nevew got to know eithew of them. My fiwst twue mothew was Cawing Hewat, the head of the owphange. She hewped me weawn how to wead, wwite, wawk, tawk, and she potty twained me. And that took a wong time. She nevew gave up on me, even as the other cowts and fiwwies awound me got adopted, but I stayed behind. She awways said that I was speciaw, and that nopony who came to the owphange couwd see it. Then, I meet mommy Wainbow Dash, and the west is histowy." "I...... didn't know." Diamond Tiara admitted "I'm sorry." "Dun' be. Thewe was noting' you couwd've done." Scootaloo replied. "My daddy always had a thing for Caring Heart." Diamond Tiara explained "She was there for him when my mother passed away. If I'd have known what you were going through, I could've arranged for my father to adopt you. Or for him to marry Caring Heart. That way, you would've had a father as well." "Yeah, but if tat had happened, I nevew wouwd've been adopted by mommy Wainbow Dash and mommy Fwuttewshy." Scootaloo stated. "Still, there's got to be something I can do to make it up to you." Diamond Tiara said sincerely. "Weww, thewe is one ting." Scootaloo replied "But in owdew fow you to do it, you'ww need the key to the bathwoom. And I happen to know whewe it is." "Really, where is it?" Diamond Tiara asked. "It's undewneath the twaining potty." Scootaloo explained. Diamond Tiara moved the training potty to the side, and sure enough, there was the key to the bathroom. "What do you want me to do?" she asked Scootaloo reluctantly. "I want you to take a bath with me." Scootaloo replied. "That's it?" Diamond Tiara asked. "Not quite. I awso want you to put on a diapee, that way I know I can twust you." Scootaloo added. "What? You must be joking." Diamond Tiara said crossly. "I'm not." Scootaloo said, chuckling slightly "It's fine if you dun wanna put one on though. But if you dun, then you can fowget about twying to make tings up to me." "How am I even suppose to wear one?" Diamond Tiara asked "In case you haven't noticed, I'm not a foal. Unlike you." "Weww, thewe's some of my 'night time pwotection' stowed away somewhewe." Scootaloo explained "Angew knows whewe they awe. So, what's it gonna be Diamond Tiawa?" Diamond Tiara said nothing for about a minute and a half. Part of her said that she should just say no and forget about it. For all she knew, this could be another attempt by Scootaloo to humiliate her. And she'd had quite enough of that already. But another part of her said that she could trust Scootaloo, and the filly turned foal was being sincere. Reluctantly, despite her head screaming that it was a trap, and that she should get out of the situation while she still could, she spoke up and said "Very well. If it'll truly make you happy, then I'll do it." "Good." Scootaloo smiled, and turned to Angel "Okay Angew, you know whewe to find em." Angel nodded, and hopped away. "So, just to make sure I didn't misunderstand something, you want me to take a bath with you. And then you want me to put on one of your diapers from when you were a filly. Correct?" Diamond Tiara asked nervously. "Yup. And you have to wet me use the twaining potty as weww befowe I get in the tub." Scootaloo explained. "Fine, if that's what you really want. A deal's a deal." Diamond Tiara replied, and went to go open the bathroom door. A short time later, she and Scootaloo were enjoying a relaxing bubble bath. It felt good to just unwind and not have to worry about life for a change. "You know, this is pwetty nice." Scootaloo said, as Diamond Tiara worked the mane shampoo into their manes. "Yeah, it's so much better than we were at each others throats." Diamond Tiara said in reply "Speaking of which, I'm sorry I teased you about your potential inability to fly. I had no right do that." "I'm sowwy I fwushed you down the toiwet and cawwed you a tuwd." Scootaloo apologized "Friends?" "Friends." Diamond Tiara said honestly. When the bath was finished, Diamond Tiara got out of the tub first. She eyed the toilet. If she really wanted to, she could easily lock the bathroom door and flush Scootaloo without Angel being any the wiser. She could easily feign innocence and pretend that it had all been an accident that she tried to stop. But the Diamond Tiara would've even considered such a thing was gone. And the Diamond Tiara that took her place would NEVER do such a thing to a helpless foal, no matter what. Angel entered the bathroom, just as Diamond Tiara was helping Scootaloo out. He smiled, as he saw the two former enemies were now the best of friends. Angel usually didn't like to let anypony know what he was like underneath his jerk like exterior, but both Scootaloo and Diamond Tiara were young enough to were hardly anyone would believe them, if they said Angel had a soft spot. It took a little bit of effort for Diamond Tiara to get the diaper fastened around her rump properly. It had been a long time since she'd outgrown them, and unlike most foals her age, she had no bed wetting problems that warranted wearing diapers to bed. But before long, she had managed to strap up the diaper so that it was nice and snug. "That diapee weawwy wooks good on you Diamond Tiawa." Scootaloo said honestly. "You think so?" Diamond Tiara asked, Scootaloo responded with a nod. "Well, don't tell anypony about this, or you can forget about us being friends." "Dun wowwy, I dun tink' anypony wouwd bewieve if I towd them." Scootaloo admitted, then she yawned "Guess it's time fow me to go to bed." "Indeed it is." Diamond Tiara replied, as she carried Scootaloo out of the bathroom. She didn't want to admit it, but she was starting to feel a bit sleepy as well. "Oh man, that was such an awesome show!" Rainbow Dash said eagerly. "It was even more awesome to have you by my side the whole time." Fluttershy replied, as the two pegasi returned home from an exciting night out. "I hope Diamond Tiara hasn't caused too much trouble while we were away," Rainbow Dash said with concern. "I'm sure they're getting along just fine." Fluttershy stated, as she opened the front door "Diamond Tiara, we're back! You can go home now." There was no reply. "Yo, Diamond Tiara, your foalsitting job's done!" Rainbow Dash called. Again, there was no reply. "Still think Diamond Tiara hasn't caused any trouble?" "Now let's not jump to conclusions."Fluttershy said, trying to defuse the situation. Just then, the two pegasi heard snoring coming from upstairs. When they entered the bedroom, they were amazed by what they saw. Scootaloo was asleep in her crib, tucked in all nice and snug. On the floor next to her slept Diamond Tiara, wearing one of the diapers Scootaloo had worn as a filly. From the looks of things, the two seemed more like close friends, then sworn enemies. Angel specifically held a paw to his mouth, as if to indicate that the two were not to be disturbed. "Ah, isn't that cute?" Fluttershy whispered quietly. "It sure is Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash replied "We'd better let Filthy Rich know that Diamond Tiara won't be coming home tonight."
