It's For...Practice
It's For...Practice
By Scribe Feather
Night fell over Fluttershy's cottage. The humid, hot summer air was swapped for a cool and crisp one as the stars twinkled brightly in the sky. There were many animal noises and bird chirps heard around the area, all of them winding down as their owners turned in for the night.
Fluttershy was busy inside her house, getting things ready for the night to come. Tonight was the night she was holding a sleepover for her friends Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash. She would be practically vibrating with excitement if she wasn't so nervous with social anxiety. She made sure to have the essentials well stocked in her house. Tubs of ice cream, plenty of folded blankets and pillows, and a couple stacks of story books and magazines.
Her preparations were done not a moment too soon when there was suddenly a knock on the door.
"Coming!" She called out as she double checked her supplies before moving to the front door. Slowly opening the door revealed Twilight and Dash, both equipped with a bedroll and tooth brush for the upcoming night.
"We're here!" Dash called out with glee.
"So glad you two could make it, why don't you come on in," Fluttershy said back, but Dash was already well on her way inside in a rainbow blur.
Twilight politely walked into the cottage at a much slower pace, being sure to acknowledge her hostess's generosity before coming in completely. "Thank you so much for hosting this time around. I've been keeping Spike up all night with my study sessions. I wanted to give him a break."
"Oh, it's no problem at all, Twilight," Fluttershy answered as she closed the door behind them. "I always look forward to our sleepovers."
By the time the two ponies entered the living room, Dash was already busy cracking open a pint of vanilla ice cream while lounging on the couch. "So who wants to go first?" Dash asked as she scooped up a large mouthful of ice cream and shoved it into her mouth. "I've been storing some great gossip on this one pegasus in Cloudsdale. You wouldn't believe!"
"These sleepovers aren't about gossiping," Twilight replied, plopping her bed roll next to the couch as she seated herself. "It's about hanging out as friends in a more private setting. You know bonding."
"But gossiping is still a big part of our sleepovers," Dash reasoned before swallowing another mouthful of ice cream, "aren't they?"
"Well...yeah," Twilight shrugged reluctantly. She glanced over at Dash who had her smug 'I was right' smirk on her face. "Shut up and pass the ice cream!"
When Fluttershy joined the other two on the couch, their sleepover banter began. The three ponies talked about a number of things including gossip, jokes, experiences, and high school crushes while each thought punctuated with the passing of the tub of ice cream. The sleepover continued well into the night. Sweets and drink being consumed by the three as they continued to chatter.
Late in the night a nest of pillows and blankets was constructed in the middle of the living room. Their pillowy base provided a new, comfortable lounging spot to continue their conversations. Topics faded into others almost seamlessly, as conversations are known to doing. No longer was there a coherent path between one topic and the next.
Somehow the conversation turned to diapers and how much money it would take to wear one. Nopony there would be able to tell you just how the conversation got to such an embarrassing and intimate subject. Rainbow Dash scoffed at the idea, figuring it sounded so easy she'd practically do it for free. However, when this statement was called out, she recoiled, denying the whole thing. It probably would have ended there, if it wasn't for the insistence of Twilight and Fluttershy.
"Oh come now, Rainbow Dash." Twilight said. "Can't you try a little something new? It's just a diaper."
"No WAY!"
"Do it for me?"
"I'm not going to put on a diaper!"
"For me?" A third, soft spoken voice nuzzled itself into the conversation. The meek yellow pegasus slipped up close to the other two, uncertain and not as confident as the purple unicorn, but insistent all the same.
"Why are you guys so firm on slapping me in one of those things?!"
"I-it's just...For..." Fluttershy was embarrassed to say and couldn't bare to lie to her best friend. If the quiet pony could say the truth, she'd admit that she always fantasized about Rainbow Dash wearing a diaper. The thought of one of her best friends waddling around in a diaper warmed even the coldest of nights for Fluttershy. She never got this close before, to have the offer so close she could see it happen for real this time! She just needed to be honest! She just needed to admit to her friend, whom she knew for years, that she adored the thought of her wearing a diaper! "It's...For..."
"Practice!" Twilight chimed in, saving her nervous friend from having a panic attack. She too loved the idea of diapering Dash, but it was more for the experience then the sight. She never had the pleasure of seeing a pony in such an adorable sight. And what better way to do it then to one of her close friends! Something like this would only bring them closer together.
Fluttershy looked up at Twilight and silently thanked her for the bailout. They would have sat there all day if they waited for the meek pony to come up with a reason, too shy and embarrassed to admit such things. Twilight never seemed to have that problem. Twilight was so much more assertive than Fluttershy and seemed to never hesitate to speak up.
"It's only for practice. You never know when you would need caretaking skills!" Twilight smiled at Dash, but Dash didn't return the look.
The blue pegasus slumped, pouting at such a humiliating proposition. A diaper? A diaper on HER?! No way! That was ridiculous! She wanted to angrily hiss a firm 'no!' and stop the humiliation right there. However her angry scowl seemed to soften greatly when her eyes met with Twilight's and Fluttershy's. She let out a sigh. "Fine. I'll wear the stupid diaper!" She growled with crossed hooves. If she was going to be forced to do this...At least it was with friends, right?
"Really?! You mean it?!" Fluttershy gasped loudly, wings fluttering as a big grin grew on her face.
The other two ponies looked at Fluttershy's enthusiasm with raised eyebrows. Even Twilight had to take a step back in surprise noting that the yellow pegasus had much more passion than she ever thought to add.
Fluttershy was the last to notice her excitement, curling her limbs back and recomposing herself. "I-I'll just...Get the diaper then?" She quickly walked out of the room with a hint of blush growing on her face. That left Twilight and Dash alone in the living room, stuck in the awkward silence that Fluttershy's unadulterated excitement. The two other ponies didn't say anything, only exchanging a nervous, friendly glance whenever their eyes occasionally met.
Fluttershy finally returned with the diapers, or more accurately, a box with diapers in them. Balanced on her back with her wings being used as guide bars, the box contained a pack of diapers that she had kept stashed away for months now. In a fit of fantasy, she had managed to get her hooves on a pack of premium, extra thick adult diapers. She imagined Rainbow Dash waddling around in them ever since she first laid eyes on them. They even had a Wonderbolt motif to them that fueled her fantasies. Accompanying the neglected pack of diapers was an unopened container of wipes and baby powder.
"Wow! You came prepared," Twilight commented, commending Fluttershy's forethought.
"I just uhm, always want to be...you know, prepared," Fluttershy weakly sputtered out. She hoped that was enough of a cover story she needed to explain why she had a pack of Wonderbolt themed diapers.
"Now what?" Dash asked. Fluttershy and Twilight simply stared at her, expecting the next step to be an obvious one. Dash finally rolled her eyes, "alright fine." With that she laid herself down on the ground, spreading her legs apart to imitate the usual diaper changing position to the best of her abilities.
The diaper change that proceeded was, by all accounts, awkward. For each pony involved, the source of awkwardness was quite different.
Twilight wanted to keep a scientific perspective on this. She had always been curious about the subject and admittedly spent a night or two dreaming about such a thing happening. However, she now realized that those dreams were always about some faceless pony, a pony with no name or distinct facial features. She had never imagined it'd be one of her best friends in the diapers. She was torn between conflicting emotions. To simultaneously feel excitement and fear, it was a sensation to behold.
Fluttershy found the situation awkward because fantasy was finally crisscrossing with reality. Hours of daydreaming about every detail and every little sensation had finally built up to this. She felt fluttering in her tummy as she unraveled the crinkling diaper. It was finally happening!
For Rainbow Dash, well, it was obvious why Dash found the situation awkward. Her friends were convincing, but it didn't excuse the fact that she was about to be powdered and taped into, what looked like, a big baby diaper. Not very cool if you asked her. She proceeded to stare up at the ceiling, keeping her forehooves crossed as her friends literally pampered her up.
The diaper was expertly slipped underneath Dash's rump, cushioning it in it's pillow-like material. Fluttershy was able to open up a fresh diaper and slip it underneath Dash's rump without any issue aside from her shaky hooves.
Twilight was on powder duty and proceeded to give Dash's butt and crotch a rather generous amount of baby powder. A faint cloud wafted into the air as the excessive powdering filled the room with the strong smell of talcum.
Ever so carefully, the diaper was then pulled up between Rainbow Dash's legs. It took a few readjustments, but the diaper was eventually taped snugly around her waist. Fluttershy gave the diaper a couple light tugs to make sure it was on tight enough.
Dash pulled herself up, shifting her weight about on top of her cushy seat. It was a strange sensation, that was obvious and she wasn't entirely sure how she felt about it. She obviously felt frustrated with the annoying garment, feeling her pride hurt a little when she looked down at the diaper. It was embarrassing to find herself in such a position. However it also brought ever so faint memories of a long since forgotten childhood. One of comfort and safety that the diaper brought back in a tidal wave of good feelings.
"Oh! And one more thing to complete the piece!" Fluttershy quickly chimed in. Dash looked up and in a blur of motion, Dash suddenly felt a pacifier slip into her mouth, making a quiet popping noise.
The diapered pony gave the pacifier a couple sucks before it fully registered. "A pacifier?" She said in disbelief, her words oddly disfigured from the offending rubber nipple.
"I-I just thought if you're wearing a diaper, you might as well look the part!" Fluttershy commented, nervously rubbing her forehooves together. "Do you...like it? You know, the diapers?"
"I...guess," Dash responded as she peered down at the bulging diaper. She took so long staring at the strange garment that she completely missed a big, excited smile that momentarily popped on Fluttershy's face. "I mean, not something I'd add to my daily dress, but...it's...comfy..."
"And absorbent?" Twilight chimed in with a mixture of scientific curiosity and covert excitement.
"What?"
"Well I mean...you can't expect us to learn what we can when you leave some variables out," Twilight answered back, keeping most of her excitement in check. Scientific experimenting, that's all she was there for as far as Dash knew. "I mean, diapers are meant to be...you know, used."
"No way!" Dash's forehooves became crossed again. "There is no way I'm going to wet myself! I'm not a foal." Rainbow Dash wasn't all that happy with the situation, but taking her seriously was made difficult with the pacifier in her mouth.
"Pleeeease, Dash?" Fluttershy meekly pleaded, "It's just so we can see how absorbent these diapers are."
Dash let out an angry and exhausted sigh. "If I wet this thing...THEN will you change me out of it?"
Twilight was quick to respond. "Of course!"
"Sure," Fluttershy added.
The cyan pony finally let out another sigh. "Alright fine. Just...give me a moment, alright?"
"Of course!"
"Sure."
Both of the ponies tried to hide their excited smiles so that they didn't make the situation more awkward than it was. They stared, but would occasionally look at the ground or something on the far off wall to make it seem like they weren't excited to watch Dash wet herself. Twilight did well at keeping cool and calm, but Fluttershy couldn't hide the big blush that filled her face. They did their best not to stare as Rainbow Dash gathered herself.
Dash's expression became blank as she began to focus. Her eyes developed that distinct thousand yard stare that you might expect from a toddler doing the same thing. It was almost otherworldly to choose to pee in the middle of Fluttershy's living room. Many years of reinforced potty training proved to be a worthy match for the cyan pegasus.
Frustratingly enough, her diaper was still dry after a good ten minutes of trying to go. Dash resorted to mental imagery, visualizing flowing rivers and running faucets. That seemed to help a little bit, tricking her mind into willingly relaxing her bladder. Finally her bladder was weakening and suddenly she was reward with the faint hiss of her pee stream.
The urine splashed against the diaper, quickly being soaked into the fluffy white padding. The sensation made Dash's eyes burst wide open, the color in her face draining as her bladder drained into the waiting diaper. She stood there frozen in place as the diaper slowly swelled and warmed up between her legs. The white padding slowly grew yellow, sagging down as she filled it up.
Both Twilight and Fluttershy stared intently at the yellowing diaper. A special kind of stillness fell on the room as the two ponies stared at the diapered Rainbow Dash.
Once her bladder decided to empty completely, Dash was free to move once again. She blinked a couple times, shifting in place and noted the heavy weight that now tugged at her waist. "O-okay then," she started, turning her gaze towards the other two ponies and pulling the pacifier out of her mouth, "I guess I can...get changed next."
The other ponies blinked for a moment, having the same thoughts run through their mind at the same time.
"I-I mean, if you want," Fluttershy started.
"Yeah, the diapers are pretty thick so there wouldn't really need to be a rush if you didn't want to," Twilight added.
"It's up to you," Fluttershy stated.
Rainbow Dash looked at the other ponies and mulled it over. She looked down between her legs at the soggy, yellow diaper that swelled up as it soaked in her urine. Despite her initial worries, the sensations she was feeling while sitting here in the safety of her friends' company weren't all that bad. Embarrassment and humiliation seemed to step aside for security and peace. A hurt ego was no longer an issue for the diaper wearing pony.
"Well I guess," Dash started, prodding her diaper with a hoof, "I could stay in it a little longer. It's not that bad once you get use to it..." The pacifier found it's way back into her mouth, bobbing up and down as she gave it a couple tentative suckles.
The comment made the other two ponies' faces light up in big smiles. "Great!" Twilight said with a laugh.
Dash pulled herself up to her feet, feeling the heavy diaper tug at her waist as she did. "And besides," Dash started again with a little chuckle, "I have you guys to change me so what's the rush?"
"S-sure yeah. We can help, you know...change your...diaper when you need it," Twilight agreed, blushing ever so faintly.
"For practice," Fluttershy added with a warm smile.
