First voices could be heard, the chatter of some ponies nearby who spoke with muffled words that couldn’t be made out. Then Luna’s vision returned, her eyes squinting at first as they adjusted to the bright lighting. Luna now found herself in the middle of a royal meeting in one of the castle’s conference rooms. Suddenly she was sitting at a large, round table with royal documents laid out before her. Aside from the guards who bordered the perimeter, the only other pony there was a noble pony. Strangely enough, this royal noble had no visible face. Nothing that Luna could make out at least. It was almost as if this dreamscape deemed him unimportant and failed to flesh out the finer details. She could still make out his clothes, colors of clean blacks with fancy gold trimming, but his face remained blank. The unknown noble was in the middle of some lengthy speech that obviously had been going on for hours at least. He spoke at length about various political topics which seemed to melt seamlessly into one another. Despite coming into the conversation part way, Luna opted to giving the noble her undivided attention. She leaned in, trying her hardest to make out what the noble was talking about and prepared for the chance to chime in herself. Before long, it was obvious that the regal pony wasn’t letting up any time soon. He continued talking with articulated words and proper pronunciation. What he was talking about exactly was difficult for Luna to make out strangely enough. The princess continued to politely listen to the noble’s long winded speech, but quickly found herself losing a mental battle. Without trying, Luna’s mind wandered elsewhere, the world falling away as she daydreamed. She recalled the warm, fuzzy feelings that accompanied her stay with Phosphor. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt so relaxed and so secure in the company of another pony. Having her sister there to play with was an added bonus. Her train of thought was suddenly broken as the sound of spilling liquid cut through the quiet conference room. Pulled from her daydreaming Luna shook her head and once again became aware of the world around her. She remembered where she was and could now see that the faceless noble paused in his ramblings, staring at the princess. Luna blinked as sensations of the present world came swarming back to the front of her mind. She quickly noticed a chillful sensation that now hugged her seat, the feeling of a cool liquid that splashed against her bottom. It took only seconds for the scatterbrained pony to notice the twinge of urine in the air, followed by a growing yellow puddle splashing underneath her seat. Realizing what she had done, the alicorn gasped. The strangely unidentifiable noble stood there silently, completely beside himself with disbelief. “I-I...” Luna was lost for words. Even she couldn’t fully comprehend what just happened. “Please excuse me!” She stumbled out of her seat, dribbles of urine trailing behind her as she shamefully sprinted for the exit. In a blur of blue, the pony quickly dashed out of the room without another word. The pee on her inner thighs quickly cooled as she ran through the castle halls. She made a beeline for Celestia’s nursery, praying that Phosphor was there to help. Her sense of wellbeing was shaken off its foundation. She held back tears as she pushed through the various halls and rooms of the large castle. She held onto what tiny amounts of control she had over her emotions, not wanting to make a scene. Luna came bursting through the nursery doors, instantly greeted by the faint scent of baby powder. Celestia was busy scribbling in a coloring book as she laid on top of the plush carpet. Phosphor, as always, was close by to keep an eye on the diapered pony. “Oh dearie, what’s the matter?” Phosphor said as she looked up to Luna with a familiar calm and compassionate expression. “Miss Phosphor! I-I...” Luna was lost for words, she couldn’t bring herself to admitting what had happened. Phosphor looked to the blue alicorn with only concern and an understanding expression. She noted how shaken up the pony was and then take note of the wet, matted fur around her inner thighs. “Again?” “I couldn’t help it!” Tears began to stream down her cheeks as she dashed further into the room. She slipped right into Phosphor’s arms, leaning her head against a shoulder. She could no longer hold back the tears as she became overwhelmed with humiliation. She did her best to explain between loud sniffles and whimpers. “I w-was in a meeting and I got sidetracked and then...th-then...” “I know, sweetie, I know. It was an accident,” Phosphor consoled the crying pony, lightly patting her back as Luna sniffled. “A nice bath will help calm the nerves. Trust me,” Phosphor looked upon Luna with a comforting smile, lightly dabbing the tears off her face. A quick bath, much like the night before, helped dry some of Luna’s tears. Phosphor handled the task with such tenderness and understanding. Luna felt safe in her arms, feeling the tears and humiliation melt away into the water. The bath left the princess smelling fresh and clean. On the outside she no longer had to worry about the lingering scent of urine hanging around her midsection. On the inside her mind felt calmer as her worried thoughts began to settle. Soon the water was drained and Luna was helped out of the bath. Phosphor had a nice fluffy, pink towel at the ready for Luna to climb into. The soft towel wrapped around Luna’s wet coat, drying her off so carefully and delicately. Luna still felt the remnants of her sniffling in the bottom of her throat, but as the towel whisked away the water off her body, so did the heavy feelings of regret. “I think it would be best if you slept in Tia’s crib from now on,” Phosphor said as she rubbed the towel into Luna’s mane, “at the very least the plastic sheet on her mattress should be easier to clean.” “Okay...” “Good girl,” Phosphor said, wiping a tear off Luna’s cheek. “Why don’t you spend the rest of the day in here with your sister? You’ve had a busy day.” “B-but the meeting-” “I’ll send somepony over to explain the matter. You just had a little accident. It’s quite alright to take a break, sweetie.” Luna let another sniffle slip out as she sighed. “Alright...Thanks...” That seemed to make Phosphor happy, “that’s a good girl. I think we should get you into another pull-up as well. Just so we don’t get all teary eyed again.” “O-okay...” Phosphor helped Luna into a fresh pull-up, guiding the princess’s hooves into the leg holes. Luna felt more at ease when the pull-up was finally around her waist. She had learned to recognize the garment as a security buffer, providing her ample comfort in the rare case of an accident. After what had happened in the recent days, it was a welcomed luxury. Celestia was as tickled as always when she saw her sister joining her on the play rug. The diapered foal happily bounced, clapping with excitement when her big sister sat beside her. She eagerly encouraged Luna to play with her, dropping foal toys in her lap as she babbled and crawled around the room. Luna felt her smile return as she sat there. She could feel Celestia’s cheerful attitude rub off on her and soon she was as invested in the playtime as her sister. The two played together like old times. They both seemed equally invested in the plush toys and building blocks and train sets. Plastic padding crinkled as the two moved around the toy piles sparking games of pretend and sessions of building crude structures. As the playtime continued, Luna couldn’t help but notice a growing twinge in her bladder. Instead of started out as a small bit of pressure, she broke away from her playtime with a strong urgency growing in her bladder. For a moment or two the princess panicked. With her mind caught off guard, she could hardly fathom the urgency on the matter. She needed to go and she needed to go right now. However that panic didn’t last for long and soon the solution became so obvious to the princess. With surprisingly minimal effort, Luna began to relax her bladder, allowing it to empty into the waiting pull-up. The world seemed to fall away as Luna could feel the urine spread through her pull-up. The thirsty padding soaked up the warm liquid, swelling up slightly between her legs as she watched. She sat there quietly as her bladder emptied out, practically soaking the pull-up all in one go. Fully awake this time around, she found that the sensation of a freshly soaked diaper felt even better than she could have imagined. She could feel a smile grow on her face as she wiggled a tiny bit in the soggy padding. Some newfound fuzzy feelings made her heart flutter for a moment or two as the pull-up slowly soaked up her urine. Without losing a beat, Luna returned to her toys. She was happy to find the pull-up had soaked up all of the liquid she had put into it, keeping her free of puddles or dribbling. Playtime was allowed to continue without having to get up for a bathroom break. “Nap time!” Phosphor exclaimed with a chirp, “for the both of you.” Luna let out a quiet, “aww” as she genuinely wanted to play more. Celestia seemed to share her attitude towards nap time, but they both reluctantly agreed. Phosphor hoisted Celestia up into her arms, using a quick touch with her hoof to test the diaper. “First we gotta get Tia into a new diaper,” she cooed, nuzzling Celestia’s nose before look up at Luna, “is your pull-up dry enough to last the nap?” “I-I uhm...” Luna blushed, curling backwards in embarrassment. Suddenly peeing herself seemed like a ridiculous thing to do. “I-I think so...” There was no lying to Phosphor’s ever vigilant eye. The unicorn knew from a quick glance that Luna needed a change. “I’m thinking you’re going to need a new pull-up, poppet. Yours won’t take another soak.” Phosphor casually carried Celestia to the changing table as she continued talking, “why don’t you get a fresh one from the pack while I change your sister.” Luna nodded, shyly slinking over to the package that sat beside the changing table. She was surprised how little of a spectacle Phosphor made her wet pull-up. The unicorn didn’t seem all that phased nor did she ask if it was another accident. Maybe she knew it wasn’t. Maybe she was too busy tending to Celestia to notice. Regardless of what the truth was, Luna slowly slipped out of her wet, yellow pull-up. Phosphor was much too involved with Celestia’s diaper change to look in her direction, giving the princess plenty of privacy. The soggy pull-up was quickly thrown into the diaper pail, shortly followed by Celestia’s rolled up diaper. “Do you need help there, poppet?” Phosphor asked, just barely looking up from the giggling foal on the changing table. “N-no thanks,” Luna quickly answered, quickly slipping on the new pull-up as swiftly as possible. Phosphor was just now taping Celestia in a new diaper once she finished. The fluffy scent of baby powder wafted over the table, tickling Luna’s nose. With her sister now dry and freshly padded, Luna followed Phosphor as she led the two to the crib. Much like the other night, Phosphor handled the task was slow, gentle hooves. She lowered the crib’s gate, delicately laying Celestia down on the soft blankets. Luna blushed as she climbed in as well, avoiding any help from Phosphor in an attempt to appear as grown up as possible. This was difficult to do while wearing a pull-up though. “There we go,” Phosphor cooed, tucking the two ponies under a fluffy blanket, “all snug for sleepy times.” Suddenly Celestia raised her forehooves into the air. “Mena Mena,” the foal said weakly waving her hooves in the air. “Oh how could I forget,” Phosphor smiled as her horn glowed. Out of nowhere floated in a phoenix plushie. The stuffed animal had certainly seen many nights of use with it’s slightly tattered wings. The bright reds and oranges used in it’s construction lacked any sharp angles and adopted a simplistic design to give it a cute look. “here’s Philomena, sweetie.” Celestia let out a happy chortle before she snatched the stuffed animal out of the air. She embraced it in a big hug and nuzzled into it. With her prize in hand, Celestia curled up into the blankets once more, suckling her hoof with a big smile on her face. Phosphor now turned to Luna who had been staring at Celestia the whole time. “Luna, would you like a nini buddy too?” The question made Luna blush. “I-I well...I don’t really...” “Oh come now, poppet. It’ll help you sleep, I’m sure,” Phosphor answered, her horn glowing once again. Out from behind her came a gray wolf plushie that looked as soft as the phoenix with similar simplified features. “Here, why don’t you have one of Tia’s old ones. She won’t sleep with anyone except for Philomena anymore.” Luna shyly accepted the plushie, holding the toy at arms length. Despite what Phosphor said, the stuffed animal looked brand new. It lacked any signs of wear and tear and looked practically fresh out of the box. “Uhm...Thank you...” Phosphor smile down at the princess before giving her forehead a light kiss. She did the same with Celestia who was now sound asleep with a hoof tightly gripping her phoenix plushie. “Goodnight, poppets.” Celestia mumbled back something that sort of resembled “ni ni,” but the tired foal was absolutely exhausted from another exhilarating day of play. “G-goodnight, Phosphor,” Luna answered letting out one of her own yawn. Phosphor slipped out of the room and turned off the lights, plunging the room into very dim light. The only source of light came from the nearby nightlight that shrouded the room in dim blue light. That left Luna alone with her thoughts. She carefully slipped under the covers beside her sister, lightly gripping the wolf plushie. She took in a bit of air, letting it slowly slip out of her muzzle as her body relaxed. Luna then gave the wolf plushie a light, courtesy hug. That hug, however, quickly led to another, followed by another, much deeper hug. Soon the princess was snuggling the plush wolf letting a small smile grow on her face as the soft fur of the toy tingled her spine. Her smile grew in strength as she gave the toy another big hug. She let out a yawn, stretching her limbs one final time while keeping the wolf plushie close to her chest. The sleepy atmosphere was certainly getting to her. She hugged the wolf close and curled up into a light ball under the warm blankets. She felt safe and relaxed with the toy close. It didn’t take long for her to fall victim to the sleepy spell that hung over the room. Another sigh slipped through her mouth before she finally drifted off to sleep.
