//------------------------------// // The Visitor // Story: Fluttershy and Rainbow's Little Foal // by SuperPinkBrony12 //------------------------------// (2 weeks later) By this point, life had fallen into a routine for Scootaloo. Every morning, her mothers would wake up, then proceed to wake her up and check her diaper. Usually, it was a little wet, and sometimes even messy. Regardless of what she did in it, Scootaloo would quickly be changed out of her old diaper, and put into a fresh new one. After that, came breakfast time. And she would either nurse from one of her mother's teats, or drink some of their breast milk from a bottle. After being burped, she usually spent her days in a playpen in the living room. Only being taken out to use the training potty, nurse, take a bath, go to bed, or even sometimes accompany one or both of her mothers on a shopping trip. Pretty much everyone in town knew about what had become of Scootaloo by this point, and although Scootaloo didn't want to admit it, she liked being the center of attention. Most of her old friends/classmates came by to visit her whenever they got the chance. Button Mash tried to get Scootaloo to play with his joyboy, but Scootaloo's tiny hooves made it impossible for her to even press the buttons. Twist always gave Scootaloo raspberries, seeing as she couldn't give her any sweets from her aunt Bon-Bon's candy shop. Featherweight learned his lesson about trying to take pictures of Scootaloo when the flash made her cry. Dinky would use her magic to entertain Scootaloo for short periods of time. Even Diamond Tiara stopped by on occassion, now much more cheerful and no longer so much of a mean girl. In fact, she had not only managed to patch up her friendship with Silver Spoon, but also bury the hatchet with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. But there was one pony that Scootaloo kept expecting to show up, who never did. "Has he forgotten all about me?" she thought to herself. She had no idea that the pony she was thinking of still remembered her, and that he was about to pay her a visit. One morning, Scootaloo woke up to find herself in a heavily soaked diaper. By now, the routine had become an old habit to her. "I'll just wait to be changed, like always." she thought to herself. And she didn't have to wait long. "Good morning Scootaloo, did you sleep well?" Fluttershy asked, as she lowered the bars on Scootaloo's crib, and carried her over to the changing table. "Yes mommy Fwuttewshy. I had a vewy funny dweam though." Scootaloo admitted. "Tell me all about while I get you changed." Fluttershy said, setting Scootaloo down on the changing table. "In my dweam, I dweamt that Appwe Bwoom and Sweetie Bewwe took me to schoow as if I wewe theiw vewy own foaw." Scootaloo explained "And it just so happened that, in that dweam, I was a fiwwy again. It ended with me getting a cutie mawk in being a foaw, and being taken cawe of by Sweetie Bewwe." "Was I in that dream by any chance Scootaloo?" Fluttershy asked. "Nope. Though mommy Wainbow Dash appeawed in it." Scootaloo stated "The funny ting was, in that dweam, I had a mothew named Dizzy Twistew. Dizzy Twistew was actuawwy Cawing Heawt's niece in weaw wife. She often visited the owphange that I wived in pwiow to being adopted." "Was she nice?" Fluttershy asked. "Yup. When I stiww being potty twained, she wouwd awways change my diapees if I had an accident." Scootaloo explained "She wouwd awso sometimes take me on twips awound town, saying that I couwd awwyas use a wittwe fwesh aiw. I dun' know why she nevew adopted me, but I tink Cawing Heawt said she was a singew pawent, and wouwd stwuggwe to make ends meet if she adopted. Oh weww, if she had adopted me, I nevew wouwd've been taken in by both you and mommy Wainbow Dash." "That's very interesting." Fluttershy replied, as she finished changing Scootaloo into a clean diaper. "Yeah. In a sense, Cawing Heawt and Dizzy Twistew wewe wike the fwist famiwy I evew knew. I stiww wish I knew why my biwth pawents abandoned me." Scootaloo admitted, as she was lifted off the changing table. "Eh, their loss, our gain." Rainbow Dash replied "You can't really call them your parents if they just dumped you off at some orphange and took off." "Now Rainbow Dash, we don't know what the situation behind Scootaloo's birth parents is." Fluttershy said sternly "Let's not jump to conclusions. For all we know, they could've been unable to raise Scootaloo, and wanted to give her a chance to succeed in life." "Even so, if I ever find out who they are, I swear I'll hunt them and get the answer out of them!" Rainbow Dash said furiously "Nopony should just abandon their own child!" "Can we pwease tawk about someting ewse?" Scootaloo pleaded "I dun' wike tinking about my bwith pawents vewy much." "Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away." Rainbow Dash apologized. "That's okay. For now though, let's focus on the present." Fluttershy replied. "Yeah, cause I'm hungwy." Scootaloo said, her stomach rumbling loudly. Within minutes, she had been carried downstairs, and was drinking milk from Fluttershy's teats. By this point, it didn't feel even the slightest bit weird. At least, when she wasn't in public. After Scootaloo finished nursing, Fluttershy picked her up and patted her on the back. A few seconds later, Scootaloo let out a burp. "Scuse' me." Scootaloo said sweetly. "You're excused." Fluttershy replied. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy proceeded to eat their breakfast in relative silence. But they still found time afterward to suck face, even though Scootaloo pretended to gag and act like what she was seeing was gross. She never wanted anypony to know what she really thought about romance, convinced that she would lose her reputation as a tomboy if she did. "Must you two awways get into that mushy stuff whiwe I'm awound?" Scootaloo asked "Can't you just wait tiww I'm asweep to do it?" "Ah come on Scootaloo, it's not that mushy." Fluttershy replied. "Besides, you know you don't mind it that much." Rainbow Dash added. "How do you know dat?" Scootaloo asked. "Because, you're still my number 1 fan. And I know you well enough to know when you're putting on an act." Rainbow Dash explained. "Who says it's an act?" Scootaloo asked. "I do, and Fluttershy feels the same way." Rainbow Dash explained. "You don't have to hide how you really feel about our way of showing how much we love each other." Fluttershy said honestly "It's perfectly normal for ponies in a relationship to make out from time to time. It doesn't mean we don't still love you, or that we don't love you as much as we love each other." "I know, I know." Scootaloo replied, sighing a little "It's just that, you two have each othew. But I dun have anyone. I mean, I do have some fwiends. But even then, I wawewy get to see them." "If you like, we could arrange another playdate for you and The Cake Twins." Fluttershy offered. "That wouwd be nice, but it's not the same as having someone I can spend time with when you two awe busy spending time togethew." Scootaloo said, sighing some more "What I weawwy need, is a dedicated pwaymate." Just then, there was a knock on the front door. "That's funny, I wasn't expecting anyone to stop by today." Rainbow Dash said. "Me either." Fluttershy replied "I wonder who it could be?" "Onwy one way to find out, go open the doow." Scootaloo suggested. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy did so, and when they opened it, they were surprised at who they saw. Standing on the lawn was a pegasus colt, roughly about the same size Scootaloo had been as a filly. His light grey coat contrasted somewhat with the clear blue sky around him, as did his dark gray mane and tail. His purple eyes looked innocently at the young couple. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy quickly recognized him as Rumble, the younger brother of Thunderlane. Scootaloo had supposedly been known to look at him oddly from time to time as a filly. After a while, it had become obvious that Scootaloo had a crush on the colt. But she'd never found out if he returned her feelings. "Hello Rumble." Fluttershy greeted warmly. "Hello Mrs. Fluttershy and Mrs. Rainbow Dash." Rumble replied. "You can just call us Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. It's easier that way." Rainbow Dash stated. "But aren't you two married?" Rumble asked. "We are, but we like our normal names better." Rainbow Dash explained. "What brings you here Rumble?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, it's about Scootaloo. Is it true what my big brother told me?" Rumble asked. "About Scootaloo being regressed to a foal, yes." Fluttershy replied. "Oh, I see." Rumble said, looking a bit upset. "She hasn't forgotten about you, I think." Rainbow Dash spoke up "Would you like to come in and see her?" "I guess so." Rumble said with a shrug "I don't really have anywhere else to be right now. School's out for Spring Break, and big brother's in charge because mom and dad are away." "Does he know you're here?" Fluttershy asked. "He said I was free to wander around town for a while, he just said I needed to be back by sundown." Rumble explained "That's how it always is when he's in charge." "Well then, come on inside." Rainbow Dash encouraged "I know Scootaloo will be happy to see you. In fact, you might be just the sort of pony she needs right now." Rumble nervously stepped into Fluttershy's cottage, and took in the sights. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary so far. "So, where's Scootaloo?" Rumble asked. "Ovew hewe." Scootaloo called. Rumble followed the voice to the living room, where he saw a play pen filled with toys suited for a foal. And when he looked inside the playpen, he saw a pegasus foal with a familiar orange coat, pink mane and tail, and purple eyes looking back at him. Her diaper crinkling as she sat up. "Uh, hello Scootaloo. It's me, Rumble." Rumble greeted nervously. Scootaloo was a bit shocked, and her mouth hung open for a moment, then she regained her composure and said in reply "Hewwo Wumbwe. I'm gwad to see you again." "So, you're in diapers now?" Rumble asked. "Yup, and I'm suwe you've heawd about what I've done." Scootaloo replied. "Indeed I have." Rumble said with a nod "You're the one everyone at school has to thank for Diamond Tiara changing her ways. I never thought I'd see the day, especially considering how furious she was when you tried to ride her like a skateboard." "Weww, I guess I just managed to find someting we had in common." Scootaloo stated. She had sworn a promise to Diamond Tiara not to tell anypony about her troubled past, in exchange for Diamond Tiara agreeing to bury the hatchet with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. "I'm sorry I didn't come to see you earlier." Rumble apologized "But I was really busy, both with school, and with being a cutie mark crusader." "You mean, Appwe Bwoom and Sweetie Bewwe wet you join?" Scootaloo asked. "Yeah. They've expanded their members significantly since you got Diamond Tiara to start being nice." Rumble explained "Now everyone's less self conscious about whether or not they have a cutie mark. Dinky, Ruby Pinch, Pipsqueak, and Button Mash are just a few of the ponies who've joined in the past week. And don't tell anyone, but I think Sweetie Belle has a crush on Button Mash." "My wips awe seawed." Scootaloo replied "And, I'm sowwy fow acting so wude you to pwiow to being wegessed. I had no wight to do any of tat stuff." "That's alright, I was being kind of nosy. Besides, I know you didn't mean it." Rumble said honestly "Everyone was worried sick about you though, and we were only trying to help." "I know, I know. I awweady apowogized to aww of them." Scootaloo explained "I'm gwad you'we fowgiving me though." "Is that just because you still have a crush on me?" Rumble asked. Scootaloo's jaw dropped "What? How did you-" "It was kind of obvious from the way you acted around me, both before and after being regressed." Rumble explained "I was wondering when you were going to tell me." "I kept meaning to twy and ask you, weawwy I did. But I kept getting distwacted by othew tinks, namly Diamond Tiawa and Siwvew Spoon, and theiw constant teasing." Scootaloo replied. "Well, at least now, in a way, you have." Rumble said, similing and blushing a bit "I have to say, you look even more cute now that you're a foal. Maybe it's just the diaper, or maybe it's something else. Speaking of diapers, do you actually.... you know?" "Sometimes yes and sometimes no." Scootaloo replied "I'm actuwway awwowed to use a twaining potty hewe at home, except when I'm being foalsat by somepony othew than Miss. Cheewiwee, Auntie Pinkie Pie, or Diamond Tiawa." "Really? But you're just a foal. How is it possible that you have that much control?" Rumble asked. "A side effect of the potion used to wegess me." Scootaloo explained "It wegessed me physicawwy, but not mentawwy. At weast, not aww the way." "But if you really have that much control, then why don't you use the big pony potty?" Rumble asked. "I twied to, once." Scootaloo admitted "But I dun weawwy wanna tawk about what happened. Since then, I've been pwetty much content to just use the twaining potty. If it means I dun have to use my diapees aww the time, I dun weawwy cawe." "I see." Rumble nodded. "Say, do you wanna pway with some of my toys hewe?" Scootaloo asked "It's awways mowe fun to have a pwaymate." "Of course." Rumble said, grabbing the first toy he layed eyes on. He proceeded to play with Scootaloo, who felt much happier. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy simply smiled, it was nice to see that Scootaloo and Rumble were getting along so nicely. And that Scootaloo appeared to have found what she had wanted most. "Wow, has it really been that long already?" Rumble asked, when he saw the sun begin to set "I've got to get going Scootaloo. Thunderlane's going to kill me if I'm not home by sundown. It was nice playing with you, and I do hope I can come back again tomorrow, or the next day." "Goodbye Wumbwe." Scootaloo called, as Rumble set off for home. "Well, that was certainly a welcome surprise, wasn't it Scootaloo?" Fluttershy asked, as she closed the front door after Rumble had left. "You bet it was. I nevew woud've guessed that Appwe Bwoom and Sweetie Bewwe wewe adding mowe bwank fwanks to the Cutie Mawk Cwusadews. For a whiwe, I thought tat Babs Seed wouwd be the onwy new membew." Scootaloo said. "Well, life is full of surprises." Rainbow Dash replied "From the looks of things, I'd say this surprise is one that you'll never forget. Especially since it looks like you've found a new playmate." "Oh, I hope that's twue." Scootaloo said eagerly. As Rumble made his way home, he found that he couldn't keep himself from thinking about Scootaloo. He really did hope that Thunderlane would allow him to visit again tomorrow. Thunderlane was a very good big brother, but sometimes he could be a bit overprotective, much to Rumble's embarassment. "Ah, there you are Rumble." Thunderlane said with a smile, when Rumble arrived home "Did you have a good day today?" "You bet I did!" Rumble said happily "I finally got to see for myself if the stories about Scootaloo were true, and they were. Not only that, but I finally told her how I felt, and I found out that she felt the same way." "Really?" Thunderlane asked. "Indeed I did!" Rumble replied "So, can I go back and visit her again tomorrow?" "Of course." Thunderlane nodded. "Yipee!" Rumble cheered. "Just as long as you make sure to come back home by sundown. It's easy to get lost at night, especially since Fluttershy's cottage is right near The Everfree Forest." Thunderlane replied. "Don't worry, if worse comes to worse I can always stay the night. I know Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash wouldn't mind." Rumble said with a smile. "Well, they'd have to run it by me first. Don't forget, I'm in charge until mom and dad get back." Thunderlane said seriously. "I know, I know." Rumble replied crossly.
