//------------------------------// // The New Land // Story: Padded Empire // by Soft ColorWaltz //------------------------------// 100 years ago, a land inhabited by two princesses was controlled by them and soon they established an empire. One that can allow many ponies to be happy and joyful and feel as young as they can be. After years of trial and error they named the empire, The Padded Empire. The land was filled with ponies joyfully greeting and playing together in a garment meant for foals but with no concern whatsoever. The Princesses have made this land possible after promising their moms to make them proud, but the princesses have known that in their lives. they feel a connection as if they have, somewhere in the world of Equestria, family still wandering the lands. Soon Years moved on and exactly 90 years later, a mysterious figure is seen going through the woods outside the empire. The figure’s breathing was staggering as if she has been traveling for many years to find a place to recover. After nearly collapsing she manages to stumble up the gates of the empire as some of the guards approached her. “Halt, who’s there?” The Guard mare spoke as soon the figure slowly approaches them. “Please….. help… me….” This was all she said before finally collapsing on the ground. This made the guards worry and decide to check her out. It was obvious she needed all the help she need. So they took her in, soon finding out there’s something special about this mare… something… from a legend… Present time Through the tracks of a moving train, shows two familiar ponies on the train heading to the Padded empire. One who is excited and one who wonders why is she even here…. “Come on Twilight, Why did you drag me to this train on your one year business.” Rainbow flailed her hooves around not believing where she is now. Twilight, sitting next to Rainbow, stopped reading her book and gave a glare as if she has told her for the thousandth time. “Rainbow Dash I told you before, you owe me a favor and I thought this would be a nice favor.” “I’m starting to feel a regret for this favor Twilight… So where are we going again?” “Ugh! Just Read this letter again okay?” Twilight hoofs her the letter and Rainbow reads out loud. Dear Princesses of Equestria, We, The Princesses of the Padded Kingdom, Wishes to extend our invitation to join your nation in harmony. I know its sudden and you have no way of knowing who we are and what we do. So we ask you to send your best pony for the job of investigating our lands to know there’s no harm and no worries about this decision. We promise to keep them safe from harm and any way possible. Attached to the letter are our many laws that show’s how we run the empire. We can’t wait for you to respond with interest and curiosity to learn of a new land. Sincerely, The Princesses of The Padded Empire “Whoa, so a new land huh?” “That’s right and this is the letter that was given to me that concerns us both.” Twilight hoofs her another note as she too reads out loud. Dear Twilight Sparkle It has come to our attention that a new land has been discovered and we wish to welcome it to our land. However we have no knowledge of how it runs personally. So I leave that task to you. You are to take the train to the new land and for about a year you must record and study on how their empire runs and see if there are no problems and we can accept them as a new land of Equestria. If you wish you can invite one of your friends for this journey so that way you won’t have to be lonely just in case. Attached to this letter is a main set of rules and guides that describes the empire and its laws. Hope you and/or your friend have a wondrous year there. Your friend, Princess Celestia “So Celestia picked you huh? No wonder, you did some wonders for her in the past.” “Well that maybe true Rainbow i’m sure she would have trust others just like me.” “Kinda doubt that Twilight.” They shared some quiet laughs in the cart until they hear an announcement on the speaker. “Attention Passengers, we’ll be arriving at The Padded Empire in precisely 30 minutes. For those of you planning on stopping there please be ready for the 10 minute warning on the announcements. Thank you.” The Speaker cuts off as Twilight gets her book out that was given to her with the letter “Alright Rainbow Ready to learn some laws?” “Fine, better late than never right?” Twilight just rolled her eyes as she lists off the Laws. “Okay Rainbow here we go. Law one, there is a no tolerance to any crimes in this land. We have the same amount of rules that involves crimes that are similar to the ones in Equestria and we enforce them to the extent. Law two, All princesses orders in the Padded Empire are to be respected and followed. If at any point they are disobeyed can be looked away as long as the one who is disobeying has a purpose that means enough to be accepted. Law three, Any visitors with a title to their name will be invalid into the Padded Empire, if the land of the Padded Empire is now a new nation to the land of Equestria then with the permission of the Princesses of Both nations is where the Title may be reinstated. Law four, As a given number one rule all ponies coming into the Padded Empire are required without question to wear diapers. Law five, if…” “Whoa whoa whoa… WHAT?!” Rainbow interrupted Twilight thinking if Twilight is joking. “What Rainbow?” “What was Rule four again?” “Oh Um… Everypony are required to wear diapers coming in and living here in the Padded Empire, why?” “This is a joke right? I thought the word Padded was just an expression!” “Rainbow even I question that but we can’t ignore this, we have to follow them.” “But its so embarrassing! I’m a grown pony, I don’t need diapers!” “Rainbow! Just because you're grown up doesn’t mean you don’t need diapers… Remember our newest pony that moved into ponyville?” “Oh...right...um… sorry, But come on… I haven’t wore one when I was a filly and I swore never to wear one again.” “Why swear that?” “Its… complicated, I don’t want to talk about it…” Twilight sees a shift in emotions as she gives Rainbow a soft hug. “Sorry about that Rainbow… I know its something personal.. but for this.. there’s no other choice. Trust me, it will be easy year and fast if its really nice or the other way around.” “... you owe me big time Twilight.” Twilight nods and continues to read out the rules. After a good amount of rules has been learned another announcement comes to the speaker. “Attention Passengers, we’ll be arriving at the Padded Empire in precisely 10 minutes. Passengers who are getting off at this stop are asked to be ready to depart at the given stop. Thank you.” The speaker cuts off as Twilight and Rainbow get their bags ready, Just as they are ready a small toy comes out of Rainbow’s bag which catches Twilight’s eye. “Rainbow what’s that?” Rainbow looks and panics as she hides it. “Twilight please don’t tell anypony okay?... its my first wonderbolt plush my…..mom gave to me.” “Oh Rainbow, don’t worry i won’t tell anypony. But can I ask why’d you bring it?” Twilight can see some blushing from Rainbow’s cheeks as she looks around. “Well… I sometimes...go.. to sleep with it.” “Oh its alright, you remember my smarty pants right? I still play with it sometimes.” Rainbow sees Twilight blush too. “Wow… we kinda have something in common.” “I guess we do Rainbow.” They continued to stare at each other as they hear the final announcement as they are riding into the Empire. Soon the train stops at the station and both Twilight and Rainbow have fast paced hearts as they take their first hoof steps into this new land, the land of the Padded Empire. After they departed into the station and waits inside, they see many ponies of both males and females all diapered and cheery. Each talking to each other with smiles on their faces. Twilight has never seen this much happiness all at once in just a train station. Soon they decided to wait inside to avoid any possible guards thinking they are breaking the law, considering they are not diapered. Soon they see some ponies bowing and soon more as two figures came through the front door with crowns on their heads. Rainbow and Twilight knew these must be the princesses of this empire. They follow suit as the two princesses approach them. “Are you Twilight Sparkle, pony from Equestria?” Twilight stood up along with Rainbow to present themselves. “Yes I am” “Welcome to the Padded Empire, we are very excited for you to be here. Now who’s your friend?” Rainbow took a hoof step to present herself. “Rainbow Dash ma’am, I’m a friend of Twilight and a wonderbolt trainee.” “Nice to meet you too, I’m Princess Light Padding and this is my sister Princess Glee Crinkle, You can just call us Light and Glee if you like.” “Thank you Light and Glee for having us here in your empire. Me and Rainbow are going to have a nice time here.” Twilight replied “We hope you do too.” Soon Glee walks up to them, examines them which she notices they are lacking one thing, and looks at Light. “Sister, they are lacking something that is a number one rule.” “OH yes I can see that, Can I ask how come you’re not diapered Rainbow and Twilight?” Rainbow stuttered her words before Twilight spoke up. “Well we didn’t prepare for this trip knowing diapers were relevant or even required.” “Not to worry, it’s alright for first timers to actually get into a mood for this place. So here you go.” With a flash of Light’s horn both Rainbow and Twilight are now diapered. Rainbow blushes from the feel of a diaper covering her flank once more as Twilight also blushes from this as she can’t even remember when was it she wore one. “Th-Thanks Light, we’ll get used to this since we’ll be in them for a year. Right Rainbow.” Rainbow nods but still embarrassed as Glee moves back to Light. “Come Sister, we are sorta behind schedule for the tour.” “Ah yes, The tour. Come Twilight and Rainbow, Lets show you around the entire place!” With a nod they all take a tour of the empire’s many sections of attractions, such as places to eat, entertainment, places to live, and stores that carry many things. After about an hour of the tour they approach the Castle. “And this is our home, The Castle of the Padded princesses.” Twilight is shocked to see how nice it was even close to the Crystal empire’s castle. “This place is really nicely put. Lots of designs and colors.” “Here we make things cheerful and nice for visitors. Now then lets talk about Living arrangements.” Glee comes up to Twilight and Rainbow with some stuff to give. “Here you go, a map of the Empire and a map of the Castle. This will help you find places and help you out of you somehow get lost. Now then we also like to give you these marks.” With a spell from Glee two marks appears on both Twilight and Rainbow’s diaper, showing a pink crown. “These symbols show what rank ponies who are in the castle what they can visit. There are 4 rankings. Green crowns are for visitors so they have limited exploring of the castle. Pink Crowns are for ponies like you two who are here for purposes of business or other important work. They have a good amount of exploring in the castle. Gold crowns are us, higher up in the ranks and have full places in the castle. The last one is Gold with Pink Crowns meaning anypony with a pink crown can’t enter without the supervision of a Gold Crown pony basically, one of us. I forgot to mentioned, since you two are special, representing Equestria we decided to put you on VIP list meaning you can visit any area that is even gold but you must have a guard with you for support.” Twilight is shocked to see a good amount of rooms in the empire each listed with names and the crown ranking for ponies to enter. Everything is organized which made her squee and hopes no pony heard that. “Now then that train ride must have done a lot of wearing out and time considering its nearly 8 pm. So we shall show you two to where you’ll be sleeping during the duration of your visit. This way please.” they are soon moved to a small area near the castle where there are many houses that are the same but moderately big. They enter one of them under the number 1-1. “Welcome to one of our many penthouses, please make yourselves at home.” Light announced as they all walk in to check the place out. “Whoa, Sweet place you got here Light.” “Thanks Rainbow, Now we have stocked this place up with good food for cooking and snacking. There is a bathroom but there will be no toilets so we have installed a couple of changing tables in the house.” Twilight checks the many rooms in the house until she reaches in the bedroom where there was a oversized, what appears to be, crib. “Oh Twilight, it’s not just a crib. Its a Royal Command Bed Crib. its a special made bed to have the comfiness of a king sized bed with a nice cute feature of a crib.” “Oh, how come there’s Command in its name?” Rainbow replied in shock. “Oh that’s right. It has a magical feature to actually act on command. there are a few commands known only to you that i can give. There’s Nappy Time where it will set you up for a nice nap for about an hour or two. There’s Cute Sleeper where it dresses ponies in a cute adorable outfit but super comfy for bedtime. And finally there’s Bedtime Where it puts you in the crib for a normal rest. Plus the crib always checks to see if the pony going to bed needs a change and it supplies the ponies with a Pacifier to ensure they have a nice rest without interruptions. Then after the rest the pacifier’s effect wear off and you simply say Time to Get up, and the crib bars will drop down for you and your friend to get out.” “Oh nice feature. we’ll remember that for sure.” Glee then walked up to Light and looked at her. “Light we must head back into the office to check on something. No time for dilly dallying Lil sis.” Light understood with a nod and a serious look. Light nodded. “Twilight, Rainbow if you need any help or any assistance please inform one of the guards to help out. Now if you can excuse us? We’ll see you tomorrow. Oh, and, make sure to write down your Doctor's names. It's...just incase something happens to your bowels and bladder. We care for our visitors, and we want to tell them ahead of time.” With the final bows Glee and Light leave the house. “So Rainbow, like what you see?” “It’s nice, it’s nice. Let’s have a snack before we go to bed okay?” “Sure why not.” They move to the kitchen and check around the cupboards and found some nice snacks to enjoy. They soon find a glass to drink and see that there are not only glasses but Bottles there? “Twilight, how come there are Foal bottles here?” “Not sure, maybe its part of the place just incase there’s a family here.” “Maybe, Hey Twilight I dare you to drink from a bottle.” “Only if you do.” “Hmm… alright you’re on.” They get the cookies out and the foal bottles filled with milk as they enjoy the snacks. Soon after a nice chat Twilight sees rainbow crossing her hooves. “Everything alright Rainbow?” “Well, no.. I need to go.” “Well we are in diapers so just go then.” “But, i’m still a little worried a bit.” “Hmm… Rainbow stand over there.” Twilight points to a spot on the floor as Rainbow tries to wonder what’s on her mind. Rainbow moves into position Twilight said and without warning Twilight pounces Rainbow with a tickle attack. This made Rainbow laugh so hard she kicks her hooves around. Rainbow begs Twilight to stop a bit but Twilight keeps it up until Rainbow loses control and uses her diaper. After a bit more Rainbow was released from Twilight’s tickling torture. “Why did you do that Twilight?!” “I wanted you to not worry okay, so I thought we could have that kinda fun. Besides you're not the only one okay?” Twilight points to her diaper showing she too has used it with made Rainbow a little happy. “I guess you're right… so what now?” “ Well its 9 pm so lets get to bed okay?” “Sounds nice but what about our diapers?” They enter the bedroom where Twilight has it planned. “Its Bedtime.” Rainbow questions why Twilight mentioned it again but until hearing some noises from the crib as it hears the command and picks up Twilight and Rainbow in its magic. The crib detects some diaper usage and puts them on their backs on the changing table and changes them. Both of them blush as they are being changed into new diapers. After the changing they are slowly placed into the crib bedding and are tucked in. Soon pacifiers are introduced as Rainbow was protesting but then sees Twilight happily sucking on it and sleeping nicely. Noting this Rainbow decides to accept the pacifier and soon feels the effects taking in and she soon falls asleep too. they slept peacefully through the night as if this was the best sleep they ever had.
