Twily's sleep was a very peaceful one. It had been a very long time since she had slept straight through the night without waking up for even a brief moment, but that was exactly the case that night. Her night was filled with happy dreams of foalhood, some of which saw her as she was now and some with her as small as a normal foal. Some involved Mama Sweet, and some had her with her family. As varied as they were, each dream held two things in common: Twily was a foal, and she was happy about it.
The sun's rays shone into the window of the nursery, bright enough to cause Twily to stir. She opened her eyes, a deep yawn escaping her lips. She looked to her side, smiling lightly at the sight of Dashie fast asleep and snuggled up to her. A quick peek at Dashie's diaper made her giggle; judging from how much it was bulging, she had clearly soaked it overnight. Her giggling didn't last long, though, as she looked down at her own diaper to see that it might have been even larger than Dashie's. Those big bottles right before bed had really done their job, and thankfully the diapers had also done theirs. With how much the two of them had wet, Twily didn't want to think about what it would have been like if they hadn't.
Twily let out a happy, relaxed sigh, choosing to remain cuddled up for now, enjoying the warmth of her bulky garment. Not that she could go anywhere else even if she wanted; the potion she drank yesterday and the inhibitor on her horn made sure of that. There would be no flying and no teleporting. Until Mama Sweet came to get them, they would remain in the crib. Not that Twily had any complaints. She loved lying in a crib with a soaked diaper, cuddled up to Dashie. She was a good foal, and she loved being a good foal.
As if she could read her mind, the door opened and Sweet poked her head inside. Twily's ears perked, and she looked up from her comfy position with a wide foalish grin.
"Good morning, cuties!" Sweet sang. She entered the room proper and approached the crib, grinning lightly. "Have you been awake long, little princess?" She reached a hoof into the crib and gently tickled beneath Twily's chin, causing the regressed mare to giggle.
"No mama," Twily responded. "I just woke up!"
"Heehee...it doesn't look like the same can be said for Dashie," Sweet said. She popped a pacifier into Twily's mouth, and Twily immediately began sucking on it. The action had become practically autonomous by this point. Sweet then leaned close to Dashie and spoke in the most gentle whisper she could manage.
"Rise and shine, my little Wonderbolt," Sweet said, gently stroking her cheek with a hoof. "Nana's here." Dashie murmured softly, squirming a little as one eye cracked open. As soon as she caught sight of Sweet, she smiled a tired, but genuine smile. Sweet giggled and gave Dashie a little scratch under the chin as well.
"Hi Nana Sweet," Dashie said, stretching a little bit. One of her front hooves brushed against the front of her diaper, and she glanced down at it. Twily noticed the look on Dashie's face right then, and could tell that she had just realized how wet she was. She blushed lightly, but the smile soon returned to her face. She was apparently just as unconcerned about her wetness as Twily was about her own.
"Oh goodness, my little fillies are soaked, aren't they?" Sweet giggled. Her thought was interrupted by the sound of Twily's belly rumbling. Sweet considered her options briefly before smiling gently at the two. "Maybe we'll fill those tummies up and then get you out of those diapers, hm? Usually I save breakfast for when the potion runs out, but usually my fillies' tummies aren't this rumbly." Twily and Dashie nodded quickly. They were both quite hungry, and the warm feeling in their diapers wasn't yet to the point where it was uncomfortable.
"Hungry!" Dashie confirmed. Twily clapped her hooves happily, still sucking on her paci. Sweet grinned and lowered the side of the crib, then lit her horn up and picked the two up in her magical grasp. Each got a kiss on the forehead, and then Dashie was placed on the ground while Twily rested on Sweet's back. Sweet couldn't help an amused giggle as she watched Dashie forced into an even more awkward waddle by the bulk between her hind legs. Twily had no idea why Mama Sweet was giggling, but the sound made her do the same thing. Soon both ponies were laughing, and their laughter was quickly echoed by Dashie, unaware that it was initially at her expense. The three shared a nice, cheerful laugh as they arrived in the kitchen and were seated at the table, Twily in a high chair and Dashie strapped onto a regular chair. The feeling of being sat down on such thick, wet diapers was odd to the two, but they were more concerned with eating than being changed at the moment.
Breakfast time was uneventful, but more than pleasant. Dashie was happy to receive praise for being able to eat her oatmeal all by herself, while Twily enjoyed having hers spoonfed to her by Mama Sweet. The two were once again brought to the couch after their meal for their bottles, and once they were done with them, it was changing time; a face that both appreciated quite a bit, since the warmth had gone and their diapers were beginning to feel uncomfortable. Sweet les the two into the bathroom, and their sleepers were removed and set aside to go into the wash. Dashie was lifted onto the changing table first, and Twily watched quietly as she was changed. She was becoming slightly more conscious of the discomfort that her diaper was causing her, but she wasn't terribly upset by it. It caused a bit of squirming, but she knew that her turn was coming.
"Now you sit right here like a good little filly while I get this icky diaper off of Twily, alright?" Sweet asked Dashie as she set her on the tiled floor. Twily giggled slightly as she saw that Mama Sweet hadn't put Dashie in a new diaper. Mama Sweet was forgetful sometimes. Twily then felt herself lifted up off of the ground and set down onto the changing table on her back. Mama Sweet gave her belly a little tickle, causing her to laugh and squirm. The tickling soon turned into gentle rubs, soothing Twily as the tapes of her diaper were magically undone. Twily had no idea how Mama Sweet knew of her fondness for belly rubs, but figured that mamas just knew these things about their foals. She cooed softly as Sweet removed the sodden garment and disposed of it in the nearby bin. She loved her diapers, but had to admit that it was nice to get that one off. Twily looked towards the pile of fresh diapers, excited to have one put on her, but instead she found herself set down next to Dashie.
"Just one more thing before you can go back to playing," Sweet said, now running the water in the tub. The cold tile under Twily's rump was a far cry from the comfy diaper she was hoping to be put into, but still she sat obediently while Mama Sweet ran the tub. She found herself quite grateful to be lifted alongside Dashie in Sweet's magic once it was ready, and even more so to be deposited into the nice, warm bathwater. She felt a splash of water hit the side of her face, followed by a giggle from Dashie. She turned to face her, grinning playfully. Soon, an all-out splash war had started. It took quite a bit of effort for Sweet to calm the two down, due in part to the fact that she was having a good time with it as well. Sweet managed to calm the two down long enough to get them all soapy and scrub them down with a washcloth. She was very thorough in her cleaning, and made sure to scrub every bit of their bodies, including their manes and tails.
Bath time continued for a short time once the two were thoroughly cleaned. Neither fully seemed to want it to end, perfectly content with playing with the various bath toys and splashing each other. The fun only stopped when an errant splash hit Twily in the eye. Twily began to bawl, but Dashie was quick to hug her and apologize, and wouldn't let go until Twily stopped crying. Sweet decided that bathtime was over once Twily had calmed down, and lifted the two out of the tub, quickly wrapping them up in warm towels. The two were dried off, and Sweet even took the time to brush their manes and tails back into their normal styles.
"Alright, girls," Sweet said. "I'm going to let you two play for a bit. The potion should be wearing off any minute now." She began to head towards the door, but was stopped by the sound of a small whimper from Twily.
"What's wrong, lil' princess?" Sweet asked. Twily pointed a hoof, and Sweet traced its path over to the stack of fresh diapers. She raised a brow.
"You want me to diaper you again, princess?" Sweet asked. "Are you sure? That means you'd be wearing one when your mind goes back to normal." Twily hesitated. That sentence didn't make a ton of sense to her, but something about it sounded familiar. Either way, though, she knew that sitting on the floor without protection between it and her rump wasn't pleasant before, and the diapers were so comfy. She nodded a bit, pointing again.
"Well, alright, princess!" Sweet said cheerfully. "It's not the way I usually do things, but if that's what the princess wants, then that's what the princess gets!" She lifted Twily up, setting her down on the changing table once more. Twily giggled joyfully as her hind hooves were lifted into the air and the new diaper slid under her. Her rump came down on it with a soft crinkling sound, and she stared up at Sweet with a smile as she was lotions and powdered. The garment was folded up between her legs and taped closed, and Twily was diapered once more.
"Twi-Twi likes her diapers, doesn't she?" Sweet cooed. Twily nodded happily as she was set on the ground next to Dashie. Dashie looked a tiny bit bothered by the extra attention that Twily was now getting, but she'd learned her lesson about acting out on those impulses yesterday.
The two were led back into the playroom and sat down on a mat, in case Dashie were to have a last-minute accident. The two spent a short while playing with the various toys that were left for them. It was during a little tea party between one of Twily's dolls and an action figure controlled by Dashie that the potions began to wear off. The tea party slowly petered out as the ponies' adult minds gradually returned to them.
"Welcome back," Sweet said gently as she sat down next to the two. Twilight and Rainbow rubbed their eyes as the haze lifted itself. They looked at Sweet, the. At each other, before breaking out into little grins. Then Twilight looked down at the diaper that was still around her waist. She blushes rather brightly, but the smile remained on her face.
"You can wear that home if you'd like," Sweet said teasingly. Twilight blushed even harder; partially because of the teasing and partially because for a scant few moments, she actually considered it.
"Haha...n-no, that's okay," Twilight responded, one hoof absent-mindedly patting the padding. Sweet gave her a knowing smile.
"You really like them, don't you?" Sweet asked gently. "It's okay if you do. Some ponies do tend to like them even after the potion's worn off. There's nothing wrong with it." She gave a look to Rainbow and grinned. "I doubt Rainbow will judge you for it, right?"
"No way!" Rainbow responded, wrapping a foreleg around Twilight. "I mean, I wouldn't have come back here if I didn't enjoy it, right?" A look of relief passed over Twilight's face as she leaned into Rainbow's hug.
"Right," Twilight responded, sighing happily. Then she looked back down at the diaper. "Although I still don't want to wear it on the walk home." She tried to light her horn up to remove the diaper, but quickly remembered about the inhibitor on her horn. She gave an awkward smile, looking up at her horn pointedly.
"I've got it," Sweet chuckled, reaching over and pulling the inhibitor off.
"And I've got this," Rainbow said with a playful grin, leaning in and undoing the tapes of Twilight's diaper. Twilight's blush returned, and she shifted positions to let Rainbow remove the garment.
"I could have done that, Rainbow," Twilight said, grinning lightly.
"I know," Rainbow responded. "But it was more fun this way." The two laughed softly and hugged each other, then looked over to Sweet and waved for her to join the hug, something she was more than happy to do.
"Thank you so much for this, Ma-...erm, I mean, Sweet," Twilight said, catching herself at he last moment. "We had a wonderful time, more than worth the bits we'll be paying you."
"I'm so glad to hear it," Sweet said. "Does that mean I'm likely to see you two again?"
"I can practically guarantee it," Twilight responded with a smile, Rainbow nodding along with her.
"Wonderful!" Sweet exclaimed. "Maybe you could even refer the place to your friends!" Rainbow and Twilight looked at each other and laughed.
"Could you imagine Applejack or Rarity doing this?" Rainbow asked.
"Not at all," Twilight said with a smile. "But then again, I wouldn't have imagined you doing it either. Maybe they'd like it too! What about Fluttershy?"
"Fluttershy's probably more likely to want to work here than be a client," Rainbow said with a laugh. "And I wouldn't be shocked to see Pinkie Pie here."
"Oh, you know Pinkie Pie?" Sweet asked. "She's got an appointment tomorrow."
Rainbow and Twilight gave each other another look, then shared a good laugh. This news didn't surprise them in the least.
"We'll see you soon, Sweet!" Twilight said, passing her a bag of bits.
"And hey, maybe you'd like to come hang out with us sometime when you're not working?" Rainbow offered.
"That would be lovely," Sweet responded. She gave the two another hug. "You two have a fantastic day!"
"You too!" the two responded as they headed out of the room. Despite the haze hey we're in while under the potion's effects, they were still able to remember the path they'd taken to get to their playroom, and soon found themselves back in the lobby. Just as they were about to exit, a voice stopped them.
"Hey!" Bon-Bon called out. She quickly joined the two at the door, smiling broadly.
"Well hello again, Bon-Bon!" Twilight said. "Did you have a good time too?"
"Definitely!" Bon-Bon replied. "I have to admit, once my mind came back this morning, I was kind of nervous about the fact that I'd seen other ponies I knew here."
"Hey, c'mon now, there's nothing to be nervous about," Rainbow said. "Besides, if we wanted to blackmail you about it, you've got some pretty good dirt on us too."
"Good point!" Bon-Bon laughed. "I was thinking of bringing Lyra here next time. Do you two think it's a good activity for a couple?"
Rainbow and Twilight smiled to each other, then gave a nod in unison.
"Totally."

Six hours earlier...
Sunrise was the most beautiful time of the day. But then again, Celestia was a teensy bit biased. Every single morning when she rose the sun, she believed that it was truly the most beautiful sunrise of all, and that belief held steadily until the next day's sunrise changed her mind.It was important to always hold the utmost pride in one's own work, and Celestia always made sure to hold onto that notion.
The princess trotted away from the balcony, heading down the hallway towards the royal dining hall. Her belly was feeling particularly empty at the moment, as an offhanded comment from one of the nobles in court last week about the diameter of the sun, while completely unrelated, had caused her to begin a strict diet. The diet was going rather well, so she had requested a particularly tall stack of pancakes for breakfast this morning to reward herself. Perhaps it might have defeated the point of the diet, but she was the sun princess, and if she wanted ten pancakes instead of two, she was more than entitled to such.
Celestia's travels to the dining hall were only halted by the appearance of Luna. Celestia was surprised to see her; Luna tended to go to sleep just before Celestia rose the sun, so she could have a good rest before afternoon court and dinner with her sister.
"Sister!" Celestia said with a smile, giving Luna a warm embrace. "You're up late. Is everything alright?"
"Everything is quite fine, dear sister," Luna responded. It didn't take Celestia long to notice the impish little grin on Luna's face.
"Is something amusing you, sister?" Celestia asked. The moon princess's grin grew wider.
"Your faithful student had some rather interesting dreams last night."
