> The Sun Princess Before Bed > by JordanOlson > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Battle at Bedtime > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many ponies work hard. Some work every day for twelve hours and make a substantial amount of bits to live luxuriously. Some work to provide for their families. Others like Princess Celestia work all day every day because it's her duty. She doesn't earn bits from her "job", she earns love from her ponies which in her opinion is much more important than any jewel or gift she could ever receive. That didn't mean her job was perfect. No, Princess Celestia has moments where she loathes being a ruler. She has to deal with the nobles who wish to have more power over the "commoners" or have some other idiotic reason to bother her while she is dealing with real problems. If that hadn't been bad enough than the endless pile of paperwork she had to deal with was, and her "endless" pile was only half of the overall paperwork that had to be taken care of. In truth, her sister finished the other half of the papers, though that didn't make her own pile any less daunting. The only time Princess Celestia ever got to rest was at night, specifically when she got to sleep. However, her only time to rest has now become one of her hardest chores. It wasn't because it was physically taxing on her body, it was actually the opposite. It was very taxing on her mind, so taxing that she worried all throughout the day about going to sleep. Unfortunately for princess of the sun, she had just finished the last of her royal duties for the day, ending with the lowering of the sun and was about to retire to her bedchamber. As she walked down the halls of the castle, she couldn't help but feel dread. She couldn't let her panic show though, all she could do was sigh in exasperation. "I guess I'll have to deal with this issue once again. I had hoped I could avoid this for awhile longer but I guess that won't be the case" Celestia thought to herself in anguish. As her bedroom door came into view, she noticed two of her royal guards "guarding" her room. Despite her exhaustion and dread, she couldn't help but smile warmly at her loyal guards. Even if it was a part of their job to keep watch at her door, she still appreciated the gesture. She looked in the eyes of her guards and spoke warmly with a hint of authority laced in her tone of voice. "I wish not to be disturbed unless it is absolutely necessary. Make sure to keep all ponies out of this room. Her guards said nothing as they simply bowed to her, signaling they understood their given order. Princess Celestia gave a much warmer smile as she responded calmly to the silent duo "Thank you my little ponies, goodnight." She then walked gracefully into her room closing the door gently and locking it behind her. As she closed her door, her expression changed. Instead of the warm benevolent ruler she usually looked like, her facial expression changed into a sad smile. She knew full well that the time had come. The white alicorn began to cast a sound proofing spell to keep all noise inside the room as well as close her curtains. The last thing she wanted were any eyes or sensitive ears to pick up on what she was about to do. As she slowly trotted towards her bed she reached underneath, pulling out an assortment of items. She looked at them with disdain as she laid everything out. Foal powder, a changing mat, pink ruffled plastic pants, and the item she despised the most, a thick pale pink diaper with a large sun on the front and a moon on the back. Celestia sighed in irritation as she ranted to herself. "Tch, it's bad enough that I'm a grown mare needing these things but being the ruler of a kingdom as well. If the nobles found out, they'd have a field day, even normal ponies would look at me differently if they found out. If other nations knew I needed diapers for my problem, there is no telling how they'd react and my sister... If Luna found out, I'd no doubt be teased relentlessly. As she spoke to herself, she lied her changing mat and her diaper flat on her bed and preceded to lie down on top of said items. She then used her magic to sprinkle a fair amount of sweet smelling powder over her diaper area and lifted the front of the diaper up, making sure to fasten the tapes snugly. After finishing her quick and efficient change, she pulled her plastic pants over her diaper while placing her changing mat and powder back underneath her bed. She couldn't stand the diapers for many reasons, one of them being the very loud crinkle that accompanied them. What's worse is when the plastic pants are added. It seems like they increase the amount and volume the crinkling gives off. Then there was the fact that she couldn't even put her hind legs together. Over all, she felt like a helpless foal getting ready to go to bed. She was glad they were at least very comfortable and protected her bedding. She wouldn't know what to do if she had leaked or wet the bed without a diaper. The first few times it happened, she had to clean her bedding all by herself, mainly because she couldn't ask a maid to wash her urine soaked blankets. If getting rid of the urine from her bedding wasn't bad enough, actually getting the necessary supplies for her bed wetting was even worse. She had to go all the way to the Crystal Empire to get the supplies. Lucky for her, she had an excuse for buying such items. She was able to pass off the purchases for her nieces daughter Flurry Heart and with the help of magic, she was able to make the diapers her own size. The worst part of getting foal diapers and resizing them was actually knowing that she was wearing real foal diapers. They were more embarrassing to wear then adult diapers since the print of the sun would disappear when wet. Of course Princess Celestia didn't know this at first. The only reason she even found out about that was when she woke up the next morning with a very wet diaper lacking a sun print. That was probably one of the more embarrassing details of the diapers because the wetness indicator would easily prove the foal had an accident just by looking at the front. No matter what you said or did, if there was no sun print then there was no denying that there was wetness in the poofy front. As Celestia pulled her covers over herself, she tried (and failed) to ignore the loud crinkles emanating from her diapers and plastic pants. To her, it sounded like a nonstop lightning strike when in reality, it was probably only as loud as ripping open a letter. She knew that sleep wasn't going to come to her easily since sleeping with diapers so far had been annoying. The only thing she could do at this point however, was wait. *** The princess quickly woke up covered in sweat and panting. She had a slight nightmare. While she couldn't quite remember what it was, she knew it was bad if her heart rate was anything to go by. Celestia blushed and groaned from under the pillow that she had buried her head under "Buck my life". It's been only an hour and she already slightly wet herself. She knew falling back asleep wouldn't be easy. While the diapers were comfy, the crinkles and the foreign feeling the damp padding caused her to feel made sleeping a chore. At this point, she knew she had to bring out her secret weapon. She opened up a locked drawer and pulled out a small piece of plastic with a piece of rubber at the end and brought it to her eye level. It was a pacifier. A light pink pacifier with a sun emblem on the front that was resized for grown ponies. "I guess I have no choice but to use this again. I really didn't want to become dependent on my pacifier but if I want to actually sleep well any time soon, I'll need it" Celestia thought to herself tiredly. She popped the pacifier into her muzzle and immediately began suckling on the soothing piece of rubber. While she wouldn't admit it out loud, she really enjoyed suckling on her paci both because it helped calm her down and because the rubber nipple tasted like vanilla which happend to be her favorite flavor of cake. The only downside to suckling on her pacifier was that it made her feel even more like a foal, a wet foal. If she could choose to only have her pacifier at night instead of her diapers then she'd make that choice in a heartbeat. She wished she could use it during the daytime as well but she knew that could never happen. As she lied her head back on her pillow, she suckled on her pacifier contently, allowing herself to fall into a steady rhythm. As she listened closely to the sound the pacifier made as she suckled on it, she couldn't help but smile. In less then five minutes, she was back in dreamland all while smiling behind the gaurd of her beloved paci. *** The princess woke up in her bed as she felt it was time to raise the sun. She opened up her curtains with her magic and began to raise the sun like she did every morning, though she was far to relaxed to get up so she simply rose the sun while laying in bed. As the sunlight began to wash over her, her grogginess slightly began to disappear. She slowly pulled her covers down to reveal a soaked diaper. While she was expecting this, she couldn't help but feel disappointed that the precious sun had fully faded from her diaper. As she was about to get up, her face turned red as she felt a twinge in her bladder. "I can't believe I have to urinate again. These diapers are pretty absorbant. I guess since my diaper can probably hold one more wetting... I could use it again" Celestia groggily thought to herself without really thinking. It took a few moments but soon, a hissing sound started to fill the room. As her cold and clammy diaper began to warm up, her grogginess began to fade away completely. As the hissing continued, Celestia suddenly sat up and panicked as she realized what she was doing. "Wait, I'm peeing myself! Why did I choose to do that! I wasn't thinking straight! C'mon, stop, stop, STOP!" She struggled to control her bladder but it was to late, no amount of pleading could stop her bladder from emptying itself into her very thick diaper. It must've grown to at least three times the size as it was when it was dry. There she was, the proud ruler of Equestria, wetting her diaper like a foal with misty eyes, all while she was awake and powerless to stop it. All she could do now was suckle strongly on the pacifier that had stayed within her mouth and wait till she finished wetting herself. It must've been a minute in total but to Princess Celestia, it felt like an eternity. Finally the hissing died down as her bladder fully emptied itself. Her eyes decided it was their turn to uncontrollably leak liquid as tears slid down her face. She grabbed her pillow and hugged it tightly as she cried out all of her pain. After a few minutes she regained her composure. Her eyes still slightly looked red but she wasn't sad anymore, in fact, she didn't even remember why she was so upset in the first place. In truth, she actually sorta... enjoyed wetting herself and losing control. It felt so liberating. So intoxicating So... amazing! No, stop! It wasn't that big of a deal. Sure the diapers feel nice and I really like my paci... and I liked crying out my frustration... and I liked feeling helpless–" she then quickly cut herself off. "Do I?.... I... I like this. But, why?" As she stared down at her very saggy padding she couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. "I'll worry about this later. For now, I need to get ready for the day." As she began to throw her immensely soaked diaper away as well as clean herself off and put her plastic pants away, she couldn't get over the floaty feeling she felt throughout her whole body as she wet herself...
