Sweetie Belle and the Joke Gift

by Zubric

Bedtime

The main room of Carousel Boutique was alive with the sounds of fillies and colts enjoying Sweetie Belle’s birthday party The area was decorated in Pinkie Pie’s usual plethora of streamers and balloons, all of which she had promised Rarity that she would have cleaned up by the end of the party.

Sweetie Belle sat at one of tje many tables decorated with colourful napkins and nibble foods taking in the sight of it all. The other two crusaders were sitting next to her on either side enjoying it just as much as the birthday filly. Beaming wide she took a sip of her soda the beverage tingling as it ran down her throat. Today had been great, despite the goo accident Applebloom had caused at Sugarcube Corner, hence why the party was being held in her sister shop in the first place. She’d been lucky her sister agreed to it, since her parents happen to be out of town and weren’t going to trust Sweetie to have a party at their house unsupervised.

Pinkie and Rarity were in constant motion making sure everything was orderly. While not being a huge amount of ponies, Rarity was still cautious as always, but willing to put up with it for her sister. Even if it did distract from her orders.

Pinkie hummed as she bounced over to Sweetie Belle. “Hey birthday filly, you ready for cake yet?”

Sweetie nodded, grinning ear to ear. “You bet.” Pinkie beamed just as wide and hopped away to get the long main table set up for the big event.

Scootaloo tapped Sweetie shoulder distracting the filly as she looked in the direction her friend was pointing. “Hey Sweetie, why did you invite Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon?” she asked, pointing to the two conversing by the full-length mirrors.

“I didn’t. This wasn’t an invitation only party remember? Besides, I bet they will leave once they had some cake, not like they care about my birthday at all,” Sweetie sighed, her glare narrowing at the two foes. The two filies never glanced back seeming too indulged in whatever they were doing to care. Although it seemed like they were giggling while looking in her general direction which only made her even more concerned about what they were up too.

“They are probably planning to embarrass me today somehow, I just know it, “ she mumbled, crossing her hooves her eyes still narrowed as the two bullies approuch her table.

Silver Spoon waved. “Hey Sweetie Belle, great party,” she said, sounding cheery yet something hidden underneath that smile of hers.

“What do you want?” Sweetie snarked back, not in the mood to deal with the two on her own birthday.

Tiara scoffed and took a step back, raising her hoof. “Shesh Sweetie, Silver was just giving you a compliment. No need to be like such a baby.”

Sweetie Belle groaned hearing a slight emphasis on the last word. What did babies have to do with any of this. “Don’t even start.” She rose from her chair and moved along to the main table hearing light snickers from the two as she passed them.

Applebloom and Scootaloo quickly followed her like bodyguards. “What’s their big deal? They would never get away with anything with your sister and PInkie around.” Scootaloo glanced over her shoulder back at the bullies with a simlar sharp glare.

“Probably trying to get under my skin. You know what? I'm not going to let them.” She beamed feeling a little more mature today.

Before the other crusaders could comment, Pinkie zipped over. “Time for cake, Sweetie Belle better get to your seat of honor.” The birthday filly nodded quickly heading to the end of the table taking a seat on the fluffy pink throne. A little childish but was still made by Rarity so beautiful none the less.

---

The rest of the party thankfully went on without any disruptions as everypony enjoyed the triple layered chocolate cake Pinkie had made. Once everypony had their fair share, it came time for Sweetie to open her gifts. The fillies and colts gathered around the table taking a seat to watch. Not everypony had brought Sweetie something, but it wasn’t necessary to either. After All, it wasn’t about the gifts, but the happy moments you had after all. The presents varied from all sorts of games, some nice clothes which obviously didn't match the quility of anything Rarity made, various toys, and even a makeup kit.

Sweetie opened the last Present in the stack feeling joy when seeing it was from Rarity herself. She tore at the wrapping and soon pulled out an elegant purple dress with white frills and a matching hat. It matched her coat and mane colours perfectly. "Wow, thanks, sis this is great."

Rarity beamed. "You're quite welcome, the design came to mind out of the blue one day and I just thought of you."

Sweetie blushed a little setting the dress down before hugging her sister. The two exchange the hug for a moment before going back to the table. As Pinkie started taking the snip bits of wrapping paper away, Sweetie couldn't help but notice the odd look of confusion on Diamond Tiara. She smirked a little knowing she had 'accidentally' slid Tiara’s present into the hall closet while no one was looking. She wasn't about to take any chances, and she really didn't want to risk it nor felt inclined to open it.

Thankfully, the rest of the party went on without a hitch everyone leaving with smile pasted on thier muzles. Applebloom and Scootaloo exchange some dialogue with Sweetie before leaving the boutique in a littered mess.

Pinkie grabbed a broom and began sweeping up the confetti. "No need to help here Sweetie Belle, we got this." She smiled waving the filly off to go elsewhere.

Sweetie was more than happy to avoid being put on cleaning duty and skipped up the stairs to her usual bedroom. Upon entering, she noticed the big ribboned box on her bed and blinked. “Huh, I thought I hid you in the closet,” she said, before walking up to it and noticing a little sticky note attached to the side.

She took it off and read. “You miss one.” I was clearly written in PInkie’s mouth writing.

Sweetie glared daggers at the box, unwilling to open it. “Ugh It’s probably something stupid or something to mock me.” Her magic grabbed the box finding it surprisingly light to manipulate. With a quick motion, she set it against her desk huffing. “I will not open you. You are from evil, and nothing good comes from evil.” She gestured at the present acting as if she was on stage and standing up to a monster.

A few minutes pass before Rarity came into the room setting the presents from the party in a neat pile at the end of the bed. “There we go Sweetie, have fun now.” Without another word, she closed the door leaving the filly to play with her newest toys. An hour passed quickly as she fiddled with each of her new gifts. The games were especially interesting since they would provide her and the crusaders with plenty of fun on rainy days.

As she turned towards the desk after setting her new doll into her saddlebag, her eyes once again fell upon the unopened box. It’s intent still a mystery, and despite Sweetie’s dislike of Diamond Tiara, the need to find out was stronger. She hesitantly approached the present, her mind unable to stop imagining all kinds of things that could be lurking inside.

“Ugh, it’s not like she is here to laugh.” She tapped her hoof on the box then groaned. “Might as well get this over with.” With a quick yank of her hooves, she removed the lid and peeked inside. Her muscles tensed up as she saw the contents, her rage boiling inside seeing the included note on top of the present.

“I am not a baby!” she yelled to no one, Tiara’s words echoing in her mind as a surge of her magic sent the box flying across the room and bouncing harmlessly off the wall landing on its side. Items from the box fell out revealing a simple youth diaper, the note in mocking hoof writing reading “baby blank flank” and just to add insult to injury, there was also a simple pink pacifier included with it.

Rarity having heard the noise had hurried up to Sweetie’s door and knocked. “Sweetie Belle, are you okay? I heard yelling.”

Sweetie Belle took a breath. Without opening the door she replied back. “Yeah i’m fine, just had a bad knot in my tail.”

Rarity seemed to buy it as the door remained closed. “Oh okay, i’ll be back with a surprise in a couple of minutes.” The sound of her hooves became distant as the mare heading down the stairs leaving Sweetie alone once again.

The filly eyes kept staring at the diaper, feeling insulted. “Ugh, that was a mean joke, Tiara. I”m Just glad I didn’t open it in front of everypony to give her the satisfaction.” She approached the offending garment and picked it up with her hooves her intentions clear. She get rid of it and pretend this never happened. The pacifier just lay on the floor where it lay ignored altogether. As she strolled over to the garbage can ready to toss the diaper into the bin, she paused her hoof ranning along the plastic and finding out how cushiony it felt.

“It does feel kind of soft,” she thought, before quickly shaking her head. “Gah no, i’m not a foal, I won’t wear this,” this time she groaned aloud, and yet, she still held it in her grasp. The garment itself was rather plain, no embarrassing images adorned on it. Every tick of the clock tested her resolve but eventually she gave in and decided to try it on. She made a quick trip the bathroom before returning having no desire in using the thing. With a little blush upon her cheeks, she unfolded it and set it on her bed. She knew Rarity would be up in half an hour, so naturally, she figured she had time to try it on.

Luckily, she had been taught how to diaper the twins by Mrs. Cake that one time she’d tried to get a babysitter cutie mark. While she hadn’t gotten the results she wanted, she did learn quite a lot that day.

She sat on top of the diaper needling her tail into the back, Its shell crinkling whenever she shifted the plastic rounding out her rump nicely. A tiny smile spread on her muzzle as she pulled the front up and moves the taps into position. Her horn glowed again as she got the tabs just right to hug her bottom all snug. Not that such a thing was necessary it just felt better that way. For a few short moments, the only sound to be heard was the ticking of her clock on the bedside table as she lay there shifting her legs a bit. Sweetie soon sat up and glanced at the garment once more.

“it’s not so bad, still kinda dumb though.” she thought while sliding off her bed and inching towards the mirror. At first glance, she found the bulge on her rear a bit odd looking, the feeling of it so alien to her. She gave her rump a bit of a shake watching it jiggle and make noise again. Another moment passed as a feeling of being happy came over her. She wasn’t sure why but she started to prance about the room getting a feeling of how the diaper moved with her. At times, it was like she wasn’t even wearing it at all being so light and fluffy. She skipped back to the mirror and sat down a poof of air escaping the diaper.

“Well, it’s a nice seat at least.”

Suddenly, without warning, Rarity entered the room. “Sweetie Belle I have your special supr-” she pausing still hovering the box in her magic as her eyes spotted the diaper on Sweetie’s flank. “Where did that come from?”

Sweetie blushed as bright as an apple. “I-it was Diamond Tiara gift apparently,” she meeped lowering her tail to hide the diaper, and of course failed at doing so.

Rarity held her chin thinking something over as her gift box now sat on the floor. “So, you’re not having bed wetting issues?” She blinked, tilting her head.

The young filly blushed even more shifting and silently wondered why she hadn’t just removed the diaper already. “No!” she said, surprised at the question and shuffled her hoof along the floor.

Rarity let out a playful giggle before getting a hold of herself. “It’s alright Sweetie Belle, I was just asking. So why did you try it on, new fashion statement?” She was clearly trying to lighten the mood.

Sweetie for a moment stood by the mirror her cheeks still flushed red. She rubbed her neck silent for a seoncd before finally working up the courage to say it. “Well mostly just curiosity, I guess. It’s at least comfy.” Her hoof kept rubbing her neck as the moment stretched on feeling very awkward especially considering she was still wearing the garment in question. Rarity stood still as she rubbed her chin thinking over what Sweetie had just said making the younger sister feel nervous of what her response would be. Would she be scolded? Would Rarity laugh again? Although the last one wasn’t likely due to how nice Rarity was in general.

Finally, after what felt the longest minute of silence Sweetie had ever experienced, Rarity spoke up. “I see. Well for a joke it seems to be a rather harmless one. As for comfortable, well I have something to add to your attire.”

Sweetie tilted her head wondered what her sister was talking about. For a fleeting moment, she thought of some ridiculous notion that Rarity had some kind of foal outfit for her. But soon her rational mind caught up with her, and she looked up at her sister once more. “Oh like what? You did say you had a surprise for me right?”

“Indeed I do Sweetie Belle.” She floated into view a small box with red wrapping paper and a carefully crafted bow on top. “I saved this present for last to give it the personal touch.”

Sweetie beamed ear to ear as she took the box in her hooves. She tugged the bow off with ease the room filling with the sounds of ripping wrapping paper followed by a sqee when she pulled off the lid. Using her magic she levitated out the light purple two piece Pajamas. She felt the fabric noting it was smooth as silk and yet fuzzy for warmth for those cold nights. Tiny stars were scattered along the surface making it very unique. She jumped forward and hugged her sister. “I love it Rarity.”

Rarity nuzzled her back, pressing her sister close. “Happy birthday, Sweetie Belle.”

Sweetie has reminded of the diaper again as Rarity gave it a few pats. “Gah don’t do that.” She cheeks flared once more as she backed up. It still wasn’t clear why she hadn’t taken the diaper off yet, nothing was stopping her, so why?

“Oh sorry Sweetie, you just reminded me of when mom first brought you home. Aww you were just so precious.” Rarity leaned forward and nuzzled Sweetie with the most delicate of sisterly love.

“Y-yeah, um you want me to try on the pj’s now or what?” Sweetie asked, trying to change the subject as she took the pj’s to her bed.

“Please do, I know you’ll love them.”

In a way, Sweetie was glad Rarity wasn’t making more mentions of the padding. It wasn’t that big of a deal after all. She wiggled her hips as she slid on the pajama bottoms on first, crinkling as she did. Indeed it was very cozy and loose enough to fit yet stay one perfectly. She sat up and pulled the top over her head. After some adjusting, her head popped out and she gave herself a hug. ‘Oh I do love it, it so warm.” She smiled, hopping off the bed and giving her sister another hug. “Thanks again for letting me have my party here.”

“Oh Sweetie Belle, it was no trouble at all,” she paused and took a moment to look a the clock. “Now I think it some filly’s bed time.”

“Aww but Rarity, can’t I stay up just a bit longer?”

“No butts Sweetie Belle, you have school tomorrow.”

Sweetie groaned but listened to her sister as she waddled to the bathroom to brush her teeth. As she spat of her toothpaste into the sink she glanced at her paddy tushy again. “Hehe I guess this is rather silly.” She gave the diaper a few pats before entering her bedroom. To her surprise, Rarity gave her a warm glass of milk and she couldn't’ help but make wtty remark about it. “What no bottle?”

Both sisters enjoyed a good laugh at the statement as Sweetie took the cup in her magic and quickly drank it down. She licked her lips and got into bed soon getting nice and cozy. Rarity kept smiling as she pulled the sheets over her sister making sure she all snug.

As Rarity turned to leave, Sweetie Belle spoke. “Rarity would you mind um staying until I fall asleep.” She smiled sheepishly at her sister all cute and adorable like.

Rarity couldn’t say no to such a sight and nodded. “Of course Sweetie, i’ll stay.” She took a seat at the end of the bed and watched her sister slowly close her eyes rustling every time she shifted slightly. She listened to Sweetie breathing as the younger sister soon fell asleep without a care in the world. Rarity leaned over and gave her sister a kiss on the forehead before getting up and headed for the door. She stopped just a few steps away from the hallway noticing the abandoned pacifier on the floor. Her eyes fell upon Sweetie Belle as she floats it up and wiped it clean with. The elder sister quietly went back to the bed and with the most delicate of care nudged the bulb into Sweetie's mouth. She silently awwed at the sight before her finally exiting the bedroom. She was just glad Sweetie birthday had turned out so well. Things are nice when they go as planned.

Author's Note:

[Mix-up]

interesting reading.

[SuperPinkBrony12]

Not bad, but some more detail would be nice. I take it this takes place before "Crusaders of The Lost Mark" considering Diamond Tiara is teasing Sweetie Belle, and Sweetie Belle is still a blank flank, right?

[Zubric]

7049114 Yeah guess hta kidn o detail would have been stated. but yeah this is before thier cutie marks.

[fractalman]

Well, there's quite a few grammer/punctuation errors scattered throughout, but they're the sort of errors that do not interfere very much with reading comprehension.

Overall execution was pretty good, have a thumbs up.

[Pink_Flash]

Hey! I really liked this story. Good job Mr. Zubric! : 3

[BlankFlankedFoal]

That is adorable! Keep writing!

[Binathecoyote]

This was so adorable to read! this was soo fluffy and gives you warm feelings

[Smitty91]

Could you please continue this? I'd love to this expanded on more. That ending made it seem as if Rarity might be interested in babying Sweetie Belle.

[Undertale resident 64]

reminds me o another diaper fic near the end

[Zubric]

7237751 never really had intention of making a sequel to it. I guess it sort of implied but no idea how is do it without breaking raroty character

[HenBasket]

7237751

Plus it also seems Sweetie Belle wouldn't mind it too much herself.
Possible sequel fuel: Also, I noticed that she forgot to use the bathroom before bed… Was that an intentional act on her part, or just an innocent mistake…? I know from experience when I was a little kid, the times I forgot to go to the bathroom before bed, certain events would happen…

[Zubric]

7748432

She made a quick trip the bathroom before returning having no desire in using the thing.

.

Actually she did use the bathroom

[HenBasket]

7748485
My ADHD strikes again. Excuse me while I return to my corner…

Edit: But that doesn't mean she won't need to go again…

[Zubric]

7748432 well she sort of went to the bathroom but still unsure how I'd make a cute follow up

[HenBasket]

7748507 Maybe have Rarity follow through with Sweetie's "request" for a bottle?

[Zubric]

7748511 I suppse I just never thought of a a short story. Incept other then rarity babying Swwetie before bed. ' mayve some scene of Swwetie looking at her old foal photos

[HenBasket]

7748546 and maybe finding and latching onto an old teddy bear or other stuffed animal she used to sleep with…
Edit: it is also my headcannon that SB is the youngest of the CMC, of you want to use that somehow…
(Why am I using ellipsis so much?)

[Zubric]

7748589 okay so I suppse a fluffy second story could be made eh idk I'll think about it

[HenBasket]

7749045 I could be of help if you'd like it, FYI.
Edit: I had another idea come to me in a dream last night. Sweetie Belle is troubled by the she felt being babied, and gets a visit from Princess Luna.

Sweetie Belle found herself in the void that was Princess Luna's domain.
"Princess?" the filly shouted, only to be answered by her own echo.

[HenBasket]

7749045 and maybe also have SB ship a few of her plushies? I think that'd be cute.

[Violet Runner]

Shesh, Silver was just giving you a compliment, no need to be such a baby.”

Ha Ha! Foreshadowing.

7748485

But she did have a glass of milk before getting into bed.

Also please make a sequel because a lot of things really learn toward rarity babying Sweetie Belle. The dress she gave her sounds like this baby dress:
s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/20/1b/3a/201b3a64905c4002210af943d0e16fd9.jpg
And the PJs sound like those a older baby/young toddler would wear, not to mention the slightly ominous words at the end:

She was just glad Sweetie birthday had turned out so well. Things are nice when they go as planned.

Though innocent enough when paired with the events of the story it seems as if Rarity ment for Sweetie to end up in the diaper.

[Zubric]

8084396 Hmm good point I suppose. A sequel is possible since i left it open for one. Not sure how willing Sweetie would be. Or figuring out plot that doesn't break Rarity character.

[Violet Runner]

8084788 well a part of it could be Rarity not wanting Sweetie to grow up. Another part could be Sweetie wanting to explore the feelings she feels while wearing a diaper.

It could start off with Sweetie walking up for school to find that she had wet the diaper. She could be mad and embarrassed at first but then be intrigued by the feeling before taking it off for school. While she's at school Rarity then buys her more diapers to wear to bed in case she has more accidents, this wouldn't be too out of character as Rarity hates messes. Rarity could then make a whole line of baby clothing for older foals using Sweetie as the model.

[Elkia Deerling]

This was... weird.

But also very sweet. I love how you made Rarity and Sweetie Belle bond together. Even though they have their differences, they still love each other. And that cover picture os soooooooo adorable!

[Krystal gyPsy]

I enjoyed it. Would be nice to see a sequel. :)

[RoyalBardofCanterlot]

This is just precious. Love how a gift Diamond gave in meaness became a bonding moment between Sweetie and her mommy sister. Right. Sister.

[Fluttershyisacutegal]

cute and adorable
