The Pamper Express


Chapter 1: All Aboard




Remember to maintain a safe distance from the platform of fun! The Pamper Express is on its way and soon you all be with your caretakers! Always remember, good Little's don't think, good Little's have fun! Good Little's obey their princess, and good Little's forget!

Twilight felt a sliver of drool roll down her cheek as an annoying blue unicorn babbled away next to her. The unicorn's diaper had stretched and crinkled loudly with each movement the mare made as she struggled to stand upright on the station platform.

Trixie, Twilight believed was the silly girl's name, but every time she tried to remember the second part, a warm haze filled her mind and the information floated away like a balloon. 

"Da twain shoulds be here by nows wight Twily?" Trixie asked as she turned her hand and glanced up the train tracks. Her diaper crinkled loudly as she leaned forward and stuck her butt out. The light of the sun reflected off the light blue design and the sound wormed its way into Twilight's ears.

"Uhhhh.... I tink so..." Twilight mumbled and nodded her head slowly.

She glanced down at her own diaper secured comfortably around her waist. It was purple and with a pinkish star in the center. She wiggled her hips and giggled as she heard the satisfying sound again. 

Twilight couldn't remember a time when she hadn't worn her diaper, all Little's had been required to wear them 24/7 by order of the princess! After all, they were far too stupid and weak to take care of themselves or be potty trained! 

Twilight giggled at the thought. Potty trained, what a silly concept! Diaper's were far easier and much more convenient Anyway.

"Twiliy?" Trixie asked as Twilight felt something brush against her arm.

The brief stimulation temporarily snapped Twilight out of her stupor as she turned and faced Trixie. She opened her mouth to reply to her friend but found she couldn't find the words. Had Trixie said something?

"Buuuhhh?" She offered questioningly.

Trixie raised an eyebrow and stared at Twilight with confused swirly brown eyes. 

"Whas you saying Twily? Is your bwains no workies again?" Trixie asked as she flashed Twilight a somewhat concerned look.

"Uhhh huhhh...?" Twilight responded as she felt another drop of drool roll down her cheek. She couldn't remember what they had been talking about even five seconds ago. Her brain was a hazy mess of scattered thoughts, crinkling sounds, and comforting affirmations from a mysterious voice. Good Little's don't think, Good Little's have fun, Good Little's obey their princess!

"Good Little's obe-" Twilight began but was quickly cut off by a loud wooshing noise and a burst of wind as a colorful train pulled into the station with several train cars following behind. Each car contained a different theme/fun design. Blue and yellow Party balloons, colorful flowers, red lightning bolts, and pink butterflies! 

A small cloud of smoke burst up from the train tracks as the train came to a complete stop and the horn sounded.

"It's here it's here!' Trixie cheered beside Twilight as she jumped up and down with great enthusiasm.

Trixie had always loved riding the train back to Mommy. It was so colorful and full of personality! And the caretakers on board were so nice! Secretly, Trixie hoped she could operate such advanced machinery! And maybe even perform a show to entertain her fellow Little's~ 

"I wuv da pamper express!" Trixie said gesturing vaguely in the direction of the train in question. "ish so comfortable and relaxin! Don'tchu agree Twily?" She asked as she stared at Twight with a beaming innocent smile.

Twilight, for her part, had lost track of Trixie's sentence the moment the blue unicorn had started jumping. 

"I'm... a good... Little..." Twilight muttered quietly to herself as she stared at Trixie's light blue diaper. She watched it bounce up and down, up and down, up and down.

All at once, Twilight felt a haze coat her mind as every muscle in her body went numb. A loud hiss rang out through the station as the train doors swung open. A voice in the back of Twilight's mind told her she needed to get on that train. She needed to be there or Mama would be upset. 

"I... Obey..." Twilight muttered to herself as Trixie also slumped over slightly, her vibrant smile now replaced with a blissful mindless gaze.

Twilight couldn't make Mommy mad! Only bad Little's made Mommy upset and she was a good Little!

"Twaaaiinn!" Twilight babbled happily as a large smile exploded onto her face. She turned to Trixie who was already attempting to waddle towards the doors.

"lash one der is a wotten egg!" She said with a giggle before she to began waddling toward the train.

It was on her way to the train door that Twilight realized they weren't alone. A few other Little's were also making their way toward the door. A white unicorn with blue hair and red headphones, a gray one, a light pink one with purple and green hair, a toothpaste-like lime green unicorn, and two others. 

Twilight stopped for a second and stared at the group of ponies. How had she not noticed them before? Further analysis also revealed that all of them were also wearing diapers. How had she not heard them? Twilight tried to recall if she knew any of their names. 

She stared at the light pink girl with purple and green hair in particular. 

"S-star... hnnnng.. S-star?" Twilight grunted as a memory flashed before her eyes. There was a castle that looked like a tree, a wide chamber of crystal and roots, and six chairs around a map of some kind. Friendship, missions, it all began flooding back into her mind.

She saw herself standing proudly at the front of the table, the unicorn before her smiling at her. They were friends? Why couldn't she remember the Unicorns' name?

Twilight grunted more as she tried to dig deeper, to remember what she had forgotten. She felt herself crouch down just in front of the train doors as she tried to push through the haze that was quickly enveloping her mind. It was trying to stop her. To hide the truth from her.

"S-Star... Hnngggg!" Twilight muttered softly as she felt something loosen inside her. She almost had it!

The haze returned in full force as Twilight clenched her fist and lifted up her arms in an attempt to focus.  Something had happened to them. She hadn't always been like this! They hadn't always been like this! She just had to remember!

"S-Starli.... Mffff! Starlight!" Twilight growled out as she crouched down more and pushed harder. After a few more strained grunts Twilight felt her body relax and for a brief moment, all was clear. Starlight Glimmer, That was the unicorn's name! They had been friends, and she had been a princess! 

Princess Twilight Sparkle! The alicorn of friendship! overseer of the friendship map! They had thwarted many villains together and now they were trapped. All she had to do was-

Before Twilight could finish her train of thought, Her mind went blank as her face scrunched up she pushed as hard as she could. Twilight grunted as she tightened her fingers into a fist and her arms pressed themselves inward against her sides. The world began to spin as she felt a cascade of drool rush down her face. Her eyes crossed and rolled back in her head as the name faded away into the abyss and the back of her diaper ballooned out with a loud blorrt. 

Twilight let out a few more grunts as her tongue flopped out of her mouth and a warm mushy sensation pressed itself against her rear. 

The feeling of relief that rushed through Twilight's body was indescribable. She felt as if a massive weight had been removed from both her mind and her body. The purple alicorn let out a sigh as every muscle in her body went limp and she plopped down onto the ground with a loud squish.

"Bwaaaaahhh!~" She babbled with a mindless grin on her face as she stared up at the vibrant blue sky. Then everything went black.

The Pamper Express


Chapter 2: The Care Giver




Twilight stared blankly out the window as trees and bushes rushed past. The warm feeling in her diaper still pressed itself against her rear. Why was she staring out the window? Where was that smell coming from? And moreover, how had she gotten on this train in the first place?

Try as she might, she couldn't remember. One moment she was standing on the platform with Trixie and the next she was staring out the window of the Pamper Express. It didn't make any sense.

In fact, very little was making sense to her at the current moment. Her mind felt, hazy, but also relieved. As if she had had some huge revelation just moments ago. A revelation that had eased all her worries and allowed her to fade away for a minute of blissful sleep.

Her muscles-especially her glutes-felt looser and more relaxed than ever! So why was her memory so foggy?

Blarrgghh "Bwwaaaaahhhh!~" Twilight was torn from her thoughts as the sound of crinkling fabric emitted from the seat across from her. Twilight lazily moved her head away from the window and looked around the train interior properly. 

The walls were covered in watercolors of varying vibrancy painting a messy but beautiful image of a field with pink, yellow, and blue balloons floating atop a grassy hill. The image coated the carriage walls like a massive wall of graffiti. The floor was a vibrant pink carpet with small triangle patterns engraved in the fabric.

The chair Twilight was seated in was comprised of a soft mattress-like fabric that allowed the occupant to easily sink into it. Twilight herself was slumped comfortably in a window seat. Across from her were two sets of chairs facing toward her creating a group of war. This pattern was repeated throughout the carriage creating two distinct rows of chairs containing girls in similar positions to her. Drooly faces, crinkly diapers, and swirly eyes.

The girl across from her, a lime green unicorn, had just gone limp after voiding something into her pristine white diaper. There she lay sprawled out in her chair, tongue out, eyes vacant, and covered in drool that now freely flowed from her agape maw. 

Twilight didn't know what had happened to her but it definitely smelled.

The Purple Alicorn tried to sit up straight in her chair but only managed about halfway before a loud squish sounded from her rear. Twilight let out a soft moan as the warm mushy sensation pressed itself further against her padded butt and made her legs go limp. 

"Oh, my!~" A soothing motherly voice said from behind Twilight, "It appears someone has made quite the mess." Twilight tried to crane her neck to identify who was speaking to her but found her body unresponsive. The voice was so soothing and motherly, it made her feel warm and tingly inside.

She couldn't resist.

Twilight sank deeper into her chair as the voice continued.

"Don't you worry, Sweetie, I'll take care of you. Just relax and let it all go. We'll arrive at the nursery soon enough~"

Twilight's eyes began to droop as the voice droned on and mentioned something about how proud the princess would be of her when they arrived and chastised her for making such a big mess. But Twilight wasn't listening anymore. She had long since zoned out with only one thought occupying her mind. 

She needed to obey the Care Giver. The Care Giver knew what was best for her after all. It wouldn't let anything happen to her or the others.

Twilight's eyelids were almost completely closed now as the tingly sensation filled her whole body with a soft warm glow. Just as the sweet embrace of sleep was about to whisk her away, a single thought popped into her head.

Where was Trixie?




"isn't thish amazing?!" Trixie said excitedly as she waddled between the two rows of chairs and almost tripped over one of the stacks of kindergarten blocks that littered the floor. 

The girl sitting across her, a light pink unicorn with wings and a plastic crown on her head, was being a very difficult conversation partner. All she did was stare at Trixie with a glassy look in her eyes and there was a noticeable odor wafting up from the front of her light pink diaper.

Trixie couldn't understand the nerve of such people! Here she was trying to have an honest conversation about how amazing the Pamper Express was and she couldn't even get a response out of the girl!

Trixie huffed as she waddled across the aisle and muttered "Dum Dum!" under her breath. Maybe one of the girls on the other side of the carriage would be a better conversation partner.

After a bit of unstable footing, Trixie arrived at the new set of chairs. On her right was a white unicorn and a gray earth pony. On her left was a light pink unicorn with purple hair. A toothpaste green streak ran through it.

Trixie could immediately tell that the gray pony and the light pink one would not be good conversation partners. the light pink girl simply stared down at the pink diaper between her legs saying nothing. The gray one was leaning back in her chair with her tongue out and mumbling something about being wet.

Seeing no other choice, Trixie waddled in front of the White Unicorn.

"Heeeewwwooooo" Trixie said as she waved her hand in front of the Unicorn's face. "Anyponny hoommeee?"

The White Unicorn mumbled something incoherent and tilted her head slightly.

Trixie huffed at the lack of words but she wasn't going to give up so easily! She pressed her face right up against the Unicorn's face. 

"Yoouuu Whoooo!" She cooed with a sing-songy voice. 

The unicorn tilted her head again and let out a soft grunt.

Trixie took a step back and held a hand to her chin. She was clearly making progress. The grunt from the unicorn was something at least. It was obvious something was wrong with the poor girl. All she did was grunt and rub her chest with her hands. Perhaps she was sick?

Trixie spent a few minutes examining the girl trying to find any sign of illness. Of course, she had no clue was she was looking for. Her brain lacked the ability to comprehend such a complex topic. It was more so to entertain herself and pass the time. Eventually, her eyes landed on a round red device attached to the girl's left ear.

"Hmmmm?" Trixie hummed curiously as she leaned forward and tapped at the strange object. The unicorn let out a small squeak as the device glowed a soft pink for a brief second.

"Ooooooo! Shiny!' Trixie cooed as she tapped the device again.

The Unicorn once again let out a soft squeak as the device glowed a soft pink. Trixie paused for a moment wondering if this was a good idea. The poor girl was clearly reacting to her tampering with the device, but she made no moves to stop her. And besides, Trixie was far too curious to back off now. 

Trixie glanced around the train carriage looking for any sign of somepony paying attention. Seeing none Trixie giggled and assaulted the shiny red device with taps. 

The Unicorn groaned and occasionally babbled with each tap and her eyes occasionally darted about her surroundings before settling back into the empty gaze it usually had. Eventually one of Trixie's pokes nudged the device off the girl's ear.

Trixie paused and her ears perked up as she heard the faintest noise. it sounded like, music? 

Trixie raised an eyebrow and looked around trying to pinpoint the exact location of the strange sound. Eventually, after much stumbling, she realized it was coming from the shiny device on her groaning friend.

Curiously, Trixie leaned in and positioned her ear as close as she could to the device.

A torrent of sounds assaulted the Unicorn's ears, wide sweeping melody lines, a constant low hum, and a mellow bed of low rumbling floated into her ears. She froze in place as her jaw went slack and she stared straight ahead as her eyes glazed over. 

"Buuhhh... W-whaa?" She asked as her thoughts began to pop like bubbles in her head. What had she been doing again? Why was she standing here? Who was this? Who was her? 

Trixie couldn't remember anything, she couldn't think, or do much of anything. She wasn't even fully aware of her body as she stood blank and mindlessly in place. She felt like all her thoughts were being scrambled like eggs.

She could feel herself sinking deeper, floating downward in an endless vortex of noise and vibrant music. 

A sudden jolt to her left shoulder knocked Trixie out of her accidental trance.

"H-heys, wus your name?" A somewhat posh accent asked Trixie.

Trixie whirled around as her mind cleared and her thoughts came rushing back. She didn't notice that her actions had dislodged the red device from the white unicorn's ear.

"Buhhhh ish Twixie!" Trixie exclaimed happily as she eyed her new playmate and realized it was the gray earth pony she'd seen earlier. "hows about yous?" She asked tilting her head to the side as some drool rolled down her cheek.

The gray pony giggled and covered her mouth with her hand. "I-I'm Octavia!" She said happily with a curt nod.

"Oct... tav... eeeee. ah?" Trixie repeated making sure to sound out the world like any good Little would. 

Octavia nodded happily, "Yeah dash wight!" She threw her arms up in the air.

Trixie giggled and waddled away from the strange white unicorn with the shiny device and moved to stand near Octavia instead. "So what's you doing?" She asked looking the girl over.

"Nothing muches, jus woke up fwom my nappies!" Octavia said with a small yawn. "Vinyl's taking hers nows!" She gestured to the white unicorn next to her, "Though she's been sweepies for ah few months now!" The earth pony let out a soft giggle.

"How abouts yous?" She asked pointing at Trixie.

Trixie looked down at the floor shyly. "Me? I-i's been trying ta find a fwend..." She mumbled as a small blush coated her cheeks.

"Well..." Octavia paused and looked pensively at the ground as her mind struggled with a basic concept. If Trixie needed and friends and there were no friends to be found. Of course! The answer was obvious.

"We can be fwends!" Octavia suddenly exclaimed as Trixie snapped her eyes back to Octavia with wide hopeful eyes.

"Weally?!" Trixie asked as she stared at Ocatvia with the widest puppy dog eyes imaginable.

Octavia nodded." See! is simple!

"Mhm!" Trixie nodded.

Their comradery was interrupted by a soft groan next to Octavia as Vinyl began to sit up in her chair.

"Viny! You're awakies!" Octavia exclaimed with glee as she gave Vinyl a brief hug. "Are yous feelings better now?!"

"O-octavia?" Vinyl asked with a raspy voice as she slowly glanced in their direction. "W-where, where are w-" 

Before Vinyl could finish her question a voice interjected.

"Oh no! Did you stop listening to your Music Vinyl?~ You silly girl!" 

"W-wha?" Vinyl asked as she attempted to get out of her chair. Her eyes widened as she heard a loud crinkle ring out from between her legs. "A diaper?!" Vinyl screamed in shock as she looked down at herself and saw a fluffy light blue diaper wrapped neatly around her waist, "Why am I wearing a-"

"Because you need them." The Care Giver said as it kneeled down beside Vinyl. "Good Little's always wear their diaper." 

Vinyl stared at the Care Giver utterly bewildered as it gently pushed her back into her seat.

"B-but I'm not Little!" Vinyl protested, "I'm a grown adult! I don't need this- mfff mff mfff!"

The Care Giver covered Vinyl's mouth with its hand as its other free hand reached over from behind the seat and slid the red device back over Vinyl's ear. The girl's body immediately tensed up as the device glowed a soft pink and a small burst of purple sparks flew from the device. 

"Mmmfff! Mmmmm! MMMFFFF!" Vinyl struggled and flailed her arms and legs wildly as she attempted to resist the Care Giver's discipline but it was all in vain. The Care Giver simply held the poor girl down and waited patiently until the unicorn went limp as the device scrambled her brain.

"There we go, all better~" The Care Giver cooed as it pet Vinyl's head.

Vinyl barely reacted to the pets at all as she slumped down in her chair and began to babble incoherently. And after a few seconds.

Pssssssssssssssssssss

Vinyl let out a soft moan as she leaned back in her chair and sprayed a wet mess of urine into the front of her diaper. The smell was almost immediate as the light blue diaper became stained and the front ballooned out slightly.

"That's a good girl~ let it all out Sweetie." The Care Giver whispered into Vinyl's ear with a sickly sweet tone.

Vinyl's jaw quickly went slack as the girl began to drool.

The Care Giver then turned their attention to Trixie and Octavia. The two girls immediately felt small and helpless under the Care Givers gaze. "It appears you've made a new friend Trixie," it said with a warm friendly smile.

Trixie nodded excitedly, "Yush! her name's Octavia and we're bust fwends!" She emphasized their friendship by jumping up and giving Octavia a tight hug.   

Octavia squeaked as a blush exploded across her cheeks. "T-twixie! Dun do that!" She hadn't expected the girl to show her such affection.

The Care Giver laughed softly, "Well I'm glad. Hopefully, you two can keep each other out of trouble." It said as it gestured to Vinyl's limp form and its voice gained a sharp tone. "You wouldn't want to throw a fuss like her would you?"

Vinyl gurgled softly as more purple sparks flew from the device.

Trixie and Octavia both shook their heads vigorously. 

"O-of couwse not Care Giver!" Octavia squeaked.

"W-we woulds... nevers do stuffs like dat!" Trixie finished with a nervous laugh and a guilty look.

The Care Giver stared at them intensely for a few seconds causing the two girls to shrivel up in unease. Then it relaxed and a soft smile graced its features. "Good." It seemed almost relieved as it stood up and wandered up the carriage aisle.

Octavia and Trixie shared a brief glance before both of them shrugged.

"So whus you wan do now fwiend?!" Trixie asked almost vibrating with energy. The event they had just witnessed was already forgotten.

Octavia glanced around the carriage as the train hit a light bump and the lights flickered briefly. "I dunno... Vinyl went back ta sleepies... Sos there's not much ta dos." She cast Vinyl a worried look but it quickly passed.

Trixie hummed as she tapped her chin with a finger. "Hmmmm, maybe we cans talk ta dis fwend!" She said gesturing to the light pink unicorn that had remained staring at her diaper the entire time.

"Thas a gweat idea Twixie!" Octavia praised as she stood and waddled over to the girl along with Trixie.

The light pink unicorn stared down between her legs for a few seconds completely silent. Trixie let out a huff of frustration and pouted as she grumbled internally about their new friends' lack of chattiness.

Octavia opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by the Unicorn. "Do you ever feel out of place?" 

"Buh?" Trixie asked tilting her head in confusion.

The unicorn continued, "Do you ever feel like it wasn't always like this?"

"Wush do you meansh?" Octavia asked now also tilting her head in quizzical confusion.

"I-I... I remember.. Hnnnggg! Things..." The unicorn said as she held her head with her hand.

Octavia and Trixie shared a confused glance.

"Like yous." The Unicorn said pointing at Trixie. "And yous" She gestured to Vinyl.

"Wha do yous mean?" Trixie asked again utterly lost as to what the unicorn was on about.

"I duns... I duns know..." She replied before gesturing to herself, "Me Starlight, You Twixie wight?"

Trixie nodded as the unicorn's name bounced around inside her head. "Starrrrr..... liigghhttt?" Trixie said unsure as she struggled to pronounce the girl's name.

Starlight nodded. 

"Starlights!" Trixie said proudly.

"Yush... thas me." She said with a nod as a soft xylophone melody echoed throughout the train interrupting their introduction.

The Princess thanks you for riding the pamper express! Remember to always listen to your Care Giver upon exiting the carriage! The Canterlot Nursery awaits you with eager arms and we hope you all had a delightfully sleepy trip! And remember, No thinkies only stinkies!

"We're here we're here!" Trixie shouted excitedly as she jumped up and down in celebration. The Canterlot Nursery was her favorite nursery and she adored any time she got to spend there, especially when the princess was there!

Octavia was also excited but lacked Trixie's enthusiasm in her displaying of it.

As the train came to a halt and the doors were flung open, Starlight stopped and stared at Trixie as she exited the train with Octavia. Why did that pony look so familiar? And why was she certain she'd known the gray earth pony too?

Please remember! Diapers will be checked upon admission to the canterlot nursery, and any messes, wettings, or other incidents will be documented on the sunrise chart!

Starlight could feel a gentle haze pushing at the edge of her mind every time she tried to push her train of thought further. Another brief jingle played alerting her that the doors were about to close. Starlight shook her head and waddled out of the train just as the doors closed.

The bright sun reflected off her diaper and her fur. She took in a deep breath as the large vestiges of canterlot greeted her eyes.

She was going to uncover the truth, no matter what.

The Pamper Express


Chapter 3: The Nursery




Twilight groaned as her eyes fluttered open and a harsh ray of white light assaulted her eyes. She let out a confused gurgle as a small metallic object slipped into her mouth.

"Awww, are you enjoying your Nom Noms sweetie?" A motherly voice asked.

Twilight felt her ears perk up at the voice as a sense of calm washed over her and she felt a lump of warm mush slide down her throat. The world was blurry. She couldn't tell who or what was talking to her let alone where she was, but something deep inside her told Twilight she wasn't in any danger.

"Mmffff!" Twilight nodded as her arms flew up into the air on their own accord and lazily flailed about. Forming thoughts was difficult and her body moved without her conscious input. How had she gotten here? Wasn't she just on the Pamper Express? And where was here?

The sound of a bell ringing tore the girl from her thoughts as an energetic voice spoke through a PA system.

Welcome to the Canterlot Nursery! We're excited to have you with us and hope you're prepared for a weekend of mindless fun! Remember to obey your Mamma and eat your Nom Noms! We hope you enjoy your stay and remember! No Thinkies, Only Stinkies!

The bell rang once more signaling the end of the broadcast as Twilight felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist and lift her out of the chair she hadn't even realized she'd been sitting in.

"W-where aresh we goings Mamma?" She slurred lazily as the world around her zoomed in and out of focus.

"Why, we're going to the Nursery of course!" Mamma said with an excited tone, "Don't you remember?"

"O-oh." Twilight responded sounding unsure. If she was honest, Twilight didn't remember much of anything. But Mamma seemed excited! "Yeahs... I forgots..." 

Mamma let out a soft melodic giggle as Twilight stared at the white tile floor below, "Silly girl."

The duo walked in silence for a few minutes as Twilight tried to piece together past events internally. Okay, she had been on the platform with Trixie, then she'd headed toward the open doors, and then? Nothing. 

She had a fuzzy memory of being on the train and feeling a warm presence pressing against her backside, but everything else was a blur. Next thing Twilight knew, she'd woken up at the nursery with Mommy. Surely she hadn't just teleported to the nursery right?

"Buh whaa happen?" Twilight said aloud tilting her head slightly as the floor drifted out of focus.

"Hm?" Mamma stopped briefly in place, a quizzical tone in her voice.

"Why cansh... cansh I members?" Twilight asked as she weakly kicked her legs in the air.

Twilight felt Mamma's grip tighten briefly before relaxing.

"You don't need to remember such things," Mama said sternly as she patted Twilight's pampered butt and caused the girl to let out a few involuntary babbles. "Good Little's forget. Remember?"

Twilight groaned as a familiar haze assaulted her mind and her body began to go limp. "G-good little's... forgetsh..." She repeated as some drool escaped the corner of her mouth.

"That's right, forget~," Mamma said teasingly as the pair resumed their journey down the hall.




Starlight huffed as she glanced angrily between the other three girls at her table. Trixie, A gray earth pony, and a white unicorn.

Her lunch partners had made complete messes of their plates. It was infuriating. A  proper Little scooped up their food with their hands and eats! They do not splatter it all over their bib and face! That was simply uncivilized.

"You're doing it wongs!" Starlight stated annoyed as she shoveled some food into her mouth and shot Trixie a pointed look.

"No I'ms nots!" Trixie retorted as she slobbered more of the mushy food onto her face. "Thish da easiest way!" She retorted proudly as she stuck her tongue out and some food leaked out of her mouth. "Bwaaahh!~" 

Starlight huffed in annoyance. "Ish not wight." She shook her head as the white unicorn beside her gurgled and face-planted into her plate with a satisfying squish.

"Vinyl nuuuuu!" The gray earth pony shouted as Starlight jumped from the sudden volume increase.

"Awwww did someone have a little accident?" Mamma asked as she approached their table.

"Twily!" Trixie shouted.

She was quickly shushed by Mamma. "Shhhh~ She's taking a nap."

Trixie quickly covered her mouth with a hand and let out a small squeak as an embarrassed blush exploded onto her face. "Oopsie! Sowie Mamma..." 

"Oh, it's alright Sweetie~," Mamma said as she set Twilight down in a nearby chair. and turned her attention to the gray earth pony.

"Oh no no no! Octavia you naughty girl. You've made a mess of your bib again!" Mamma chastised playfully causing Octavia to blush from embarrassment.

"S-sorry momma..." she muttered.

Starlight for her part, missed this interaction as she focused her gaze solely on Twily. The name sounded familiar and the girl in question looked familiar. Did she know her like she knew Trixie?

"Good Little's forgetsh..." Twilight muttered quietly to herself.

Starlight's ears perked up at this. Forget? Forget what?

"Good littlsh forgesh..." Twilight repeated as she began to babble.

Starlight stared at Twily intently trying to figure out what the nagging feeling in the back of her mind was. Was she forgetting something? Was there something she should know? As she stared at Twily a fog began to lift from her mind.

A memory leaped from the fog and began to make itself clear to her.

"Hnnggg!" Starlight let out a small grunt as a memory burst forth. She saw a castle, a throne room, lessons about friendship, a map, her cutie mark, a magic spell that controlled time, and a tiny dragon! 

"Hnngggg.... W-whoooo?" Starlight asked through gritted teeth as she pushed against the haze. She wanted to see more! She had to see more! If she could just-

"Starlight? Starlight?!" Mamma's voice cut through the memory like a knife as Starlight was yanked back to the present and the memory shattered into a thousand tiny pieces.

"B-buhhhh.... W-wha?" Starlight asked as she swayed in her chair. "Yesh Mamma?"

"Are you alright Sweetie?" Mamma asked, concern lacing her tone.

Starlight paused for a second. Should she tell Mamma about the memory? Surely she could explain it to her. That's what Momma was here for after all! She explained complicated concepts to her and her fellow Littles!

Starlight opened her mouth to respond but stopped as a voice in the back of her mind told her she shouldn't. But why? Perhaps it would make Momma angry?

No no that wasn't the reason, Momma would never be angry about an explanation. Mamma was always happy to explain difficult concepts to them. So then why was her mind telling her to stop?

Starlight continued her internal debate for a bit before realizing everyone was staring at her. "U-um Y-yeah... Ams... finish..." She said finally.

"Are you sure?" Mamma asked again. Starlight could feel Mama's gaze lingering on her.

"Yeah, am suresh..." Starlight replied with a nod. 

Mamma's eyes focused on Starlight for a bit longer before a soft smile broke onto her features. "Good, now then. Let's get you all cleaned up hm?" Mamma said as she easily picked Octavia up from her chair causing the earth pony to let out a small giggle of delight. "Yays!"

Mama carried Octavia away leaving Starlight, Trixie, and Vinyl alone at the table.

Starlight returned her attention to Twilight.

"Twilll... llyyy" Starlight said quietly to herself as the purple-haired girl in question twitched in her chair.

"Starlight!" Trixie hissed quietly, "Twily's sleeping! Dun disturbs hers!"

"Buh I wans talk to her her!" Starlight shot back. "I wans have talkies time!" 

Trixie huffed, "Buh Mama said not to bother hersh! wemember?" The blue-haired girl cast a glance at Vinyl who was still slumped face first in her food. Was she even eating any of it?

"Mkaayy..." Starlight conceded with a sigh as she returned her attention to her food. She lazily ran her hand through the mush they called food as a thought wormed its way to the front of her mind.

Why were they eating this slop in the first place?




A few hours later found Starlight and Trixie waddling down one of the many halls of the Canterlot Nursery. 

Unlike the section Twilight had been earlier, the place was well-decorated for fun! Handprints of paint lined the white walls accompanied by fun phrases regarding diapers and the importance of their use! 

The floor was a beautiful pink carpet comprised of soft fabric to prevent any accidents if one were to trip and fall. Quiet calming music played via a PA system throughout the nursery. The melody line was simple but mesmerizing to the ear. The type of song one remembered the moment it started playing but forgot the second it stopped.

Trixie for her part, was having a blast. She was constantly looking around at the walls in awe, a broad smile adorned her face as her diaper crinkled loudly between her legs.

"Oh oh look at thish one Starry!' Trixie said excitedly as she gestured to a sloppily written phrase on the wall.

"No thinkshies only Stinkshies?" Starlight read questioningly. "Wassat even meansh?"

Trixie gasped dramatically at this as she stopped in place and turned around to face Starlight properly. "Dun tellsh me you's forgots Starwight!" She giggled. "Ish like the Care Giver always says! Thinksies are dangerwous!" Trixie said with a nod.

"B-buh, buh why?" Starlight asked questioningly. "Couldnst thinkies be helpful?" 

Trixie paused and gained a somewhat contemplative look. Neither noticed the lack of music filling the halls. "Hmmm..." Trixie began as she made a show of tapping her chin with a finger. 

Perhaps having more smarties in their brains would be beneficial. Trixie held a contemplative face for a good bit keeping the drama up before she waved her hand dismissively.

"Nawww!" Trixie said with a loud babble. 

"Your's sos silly Starwight!" And with that, Trixie turned around and continued waddling down the hallway babbling happily to herself about not having any thinkies.

Starlight opened her mouth intent on carrying the conversation farther but was stopped by the sound of a loud crash at the other end of the hall.

"Bwaaaaahhhh!" A somewhat powerful voice Hollard from behind Starlight.

Starlight whirled around just in time to see a tall dark blue girl with wings and a horn stumble down the hallway wearing a stained midnight blue diaper. The girl also wore a bright pink bib and a light blue bonnet laced snuggling around her head.

"LuLu come back here!" 

A thick stream of drool flowed from the girl's open mouth as she babbled some more and continued to stumble down the hall as a pair of Care Givers chased after her. A small marking was clearly visible on the girl's forehead.

"I'm duh besh pwincess!" Starlight stared at the unknown girl in disbelief she stumbled passed Starlight. The loud crinkling of her diaper and a strong odor quickly assaulted Starlight's senses. 

"Don't worry Sweetie, we've got this under control!" The Care Giver's told Starlight reassuringly as they ran passed intent on catching the runaway.

"Prin... cess?" Starlight repeated to herself as she tilted her head quizzically. That girl was a princess?

The haze returned once again as an image of the dark blue girl wearing a crown and royal attire flashed before Starlight's eyes. The phrase, guardian of dreams, echoed in her ear as she stumbled in place. Images of the moon flickered before her as the world began to spin out of focus.

"Did you see that Starwight?!" Trixie's voice cut through the noise as the haze disappeared and Starlight found herself stumbling in place again. The imagery shattered having failed to fully take root in Starlight's mind.

"Buhhh? Huh?" Starlight asked questioningly.

"Dat gurl! Didja see her!" Trixie repeated as she jumped up and down excitedly and gestured down the hall the unknown girl had been stumbling down.

"Ohs... yeahs, I saws her." Starlight replied still not fully committed to the conversation Trixie was attempting to have with her. Why did her fellow Littles always find a way to interrupt her at the exact moment she was beginning to remember stuff? It was frustrating! And what was a guardian of dreams?

"Guardian of dweams..." Starlight whispered quietly to herself.

"Hm, wash wus dat Starwight?" Trixie asked confused.

"H-huh?" Starlight jumped not realizing she'd repeated the phrase allowed. "O-oh! Ish nuthings... jus... jus memberin stuffss..."

"Ooooooo What kind of stuffs?!" Trixie asked energetically as she pressed herself against Starlight's side.

"oh... you knowshs... stuffs..." Starlight repeated causing Trixie to let out a huff.

"Da dun explain anythingsh!" Trixie pouted.

Starlight giggled at this, "Ish nothing Twixie, dun worries about it~"

"Mkay!" This answer seemed to satisfy the boisterous girl as a smile returned to her face and she turned to continue waddling down the hall admiring the hundreds of artworks lining the walls. 

As Starlight watched Trixie waddle down the hall, She began to ask herself some interesting questions. Should she tell Trixie about the memories? Was Trixie also remembering these people and she just wasn't saying anything? Trixie seemed so ditzy and carefree, so empty and void of well, anything.

Starlight's eyes narrowed as she watched Trixie stop and stare in awe at another phrase splattered across the wall with paint.

Good Littles forget

She watched as the blue-haired girl slumped in place slightly after reading the phrase. Why did something about her feel off, like a chunk of the girl was missing? She had the energy and the expressions but it all started to look so fake. 

That's when Starlight noticed a faint symbol seemingly tattooed onto Trixie's pupils, it looked like, a spiral. When had that gotten there?




The Care Givers of the Pamperlot Nursery thank you for choosing to spend your weekend with us! We hope you had a delightfully carefree and fun time with us! Please remember to always listen to your Care Giver and keep all hands and feet away from the edge of the train platform until the Pamper Express arrives!

The sound of a bell ringing announced the end of the broadcast.

Starlight, Trixie, and Twilight found themselves near the edge of the platform, once again waiting for the Pamper Express. This time, to take them home. 

"I's cans waits to get home!" Trixie said happily as she vibrated in place from excitement. 

"Meee.. to...." Twilight chimed in as the girl stared blankly ahead and a drop of drool rolled down her chin.

Starlight for her part, could not be more uninterested in their conversation. She was once again, much more interested in Twilight and by extension the rest of the girls on the platform with her. 

It was like a spell had been broken and Starlight was seeing the real world for the first time.  

"Mhm mhm!" Trixie continued, "There'sh so mush I wans do, wike... wike..." Trixie trailed off as she lost her train of thought.

Starlight glanced between the girls silently as she furrowed her brow. This wasn't a conversation. They weren't even really talking to each other!

"Obey... M-mamma..." Twilight said as she continued to stare blankly ahead, a small smile forming on her lips as she said the word, Mamma.

"yeah!" Trixie exclaimed excitedly. "Obeying Mama is fun!"

Starlight opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by the screeching sound of a train whistle.

Thank you for choosing the Pamper Express! We hope you all had a fun time at the Canterlot Nursery! Our next stop is Pampervill, welcome aboard!

A cloud of steam shot up from the tracks as the announcement ended and the train doors swung open.

"Come on Come on!" Trixie shouted with glee as she grabbed Twilight by the shoulder and practically dragged the poor girl toward the doors. Twilight for her part did little to resist the motion and seemed to be asleep on her feet.

Starlight watched the pair stumble/waddle toward the train with a strange sense of unease building in her chest. Why did it all feel and look so unnatural? Instead of rushing to board the train like the others, Starlight stayed in place and observed the other girls boarding the train. 

She watched as they all shuffled toward the train doors with blank almost empty expressions in their eyes. Drool slowly leaked from their mouths as others babbled and gurgled quietly to themselves. 

Something was wrong with them.

The Pamper Express


Chapter 4: Pampervill




Thank you for riding the Pamper Express! We hope you all enjoyed your time at the nursery and we hope you enjoy your time here in Pamperville. Remember to always obey your Care Giver and have fun!

Trixie babbled happily as she waddled through the doors of the Pamper Express with Twilight and Starlight close behind. She couldn't wait to experience Pamperville and all the fun it had to offer with her friends!

Trixie had overheard some other littles on the train discussing the Pamperville fair! A magical place full of games, candy, and prizes! Their brief tales had filled her mind with fantastical imagery of a carnival land full of lollipops, rainbows, and joy. A land where the sun never set and adventure was always just around the corner!

The hay-coated rooftops and sparse apple trees of Pamperville slowly faded into view as the trio arrived at the edge of the station platform overlooking the quaint town. A series of caregivers lined the exit ramps guiding the new arrivals to what Trixie could only assume was the legendary fairground.

The sweet scent of freshly picked apples, pastries, and candy wafted through the station as bright green grass danced gently in the breeze. Trixie felt a warm homely sensation well up in her chest as her eyes scanned the wonderous little town. Trixie couldn't explain it, but Pamperville filled her with a sense of nostalgia. As if she'd lived there all her life and had only just returned from a long journey.

The cry of a train whistle pulled Trixie from her internal musings as the doors to the Pamper Express swung closed and with a puff of smoke and a low rumble, the train departed. 

The trio stood in silence as the low rumbling of wheels grinding against the train track faded into the distance. This silence was quickly interrupted when Trixied turned excitedly to the group with a loud crinkle and posed an important question, "Where shouldsh we gos firsh guis?!"

Alas, Trixie's excitement was not returned. Twilight simply babbled a few incoherent words and slumped slightly in place. A reaction Trixie was now used to. But Starlight appeared to have not heard her at all. The pink girl had a strange forlorn look in her eyes.

"Starwight?" Trixie asked concerned as she waddled up to Starlight and lazily waved her hand in front of the girl's face. 

Starlight's face remained unchanged.

Trixie huffed at this and took a step back as a Care Giver approached them. 

Something had changed about Starlight. Gone was the wide-eyed fun-loving girl she'd known just a few days ago. Starlight had always been fun, energetic, and full of life! But now, she felt muted, different. The best way Trixie could describe it was that Starlight seemed bigger somehow.

"Are you girls ready to have some fun?" The Care Giver asked softly as Trixie felt a pair of strong hands land on each of her shoulders. The sudden force caused Trixie to gasp in surprise.

Twilight simply gurgled in response but Starlight-much to Trixie's surprise-perked up immediately.

"Uh huh!" Starlight said with a vigorous nod and wide smile, " I wans have funs!" 

The Care giver laughed softly at Starlight's enthusiasm. "Excellent! Then why don't you girls follow me to the fair? There's plenty of games and fun stations waiting for us there~"

"Theresh Fun stashions?!" Trixie shouted excitedly, "There'sh fun stations here?!"

"Why yes there is Trixie! There's all kinds of fun here in Pamperville! Just follow me~" The Care Giver said with a soft smile as it motioned for the group to follow.

Trixie babbled excitedly as she followed the Care Giver down the station exit ramp. Her concerns regarding Starlight being all but forgotten.

As the trio stepped off the exit ramp into Pamperville propper, Trixie finally got a glimpse of what the other littles had talked about. Rows of buildings, bakeries, tents, and changing stations lined the streets emitting a chorus of scents, sounds, and activities to participate in. 

There were dunk tanks, board games, blocks, bean bag toss, and so much more!

From what Trixie could tell, each tent housed a different show/attraction. Each tent had a sign plastered onto its side revealing the exciting activities contained within~ There was Celly's Brain Drain, Lu Lu's Game Show, and a particularly large tent labeled Pamper Packers. Trixie could feel excitement swelling inside her. 

She wanted to try everything! The food, the games, the shows, it all looked so fun! As Trixie eagerly surveyed every visible inch of the fairground for potential fun, her imagination began to run wild. The poor girl was at risk of exploding from excitement.

Unfortunately, an excited babble from Twilight slammed the breaks on Trixie's excitement as the trio and their Care Giver stopped in place. Some in confusion, one in concern.

"Iiishhhhh Hommmeeee!" Twilight had a huge dopey smile on her face as she flailed her arms in the direction of Pamperville. A look of confusion crossed Trixie's face as their Care Giver positioned itself beside Twilight and asked her if she was alright.

Trixie had assumed Twilight would be gesturing toward the fairgrounds. It was the place where all the fun and games were after all. Except she wasn't. To everyone's surprise, Twilight was ecstatically waving at a particularly large tree toward the center of the town. 

"Needs ta get dere!" Twilight babbled happily as she ran/stumbled toward the tree her; diaper crinkling and stretching loudly with each movement.

Seeing this, The Care Giver immediately gave chase, "Twily! Come back here!" 

"Wunnshh gooo hoommmessshhh!" Twilight gurgled happily as she reached her hands out and zombie-walked across the open grass.

Trixie blinked in confusion at the scene as Starlight waddled up next to her.

"Do yous tink she'sh oki?" Trixie asked after a few seconds passed. 

Starlight simply shrugged in response. "I unno, buh ish def stwange... jus wike tha west of yous..."

Trixie nodded her head slowly, the implication of Starlight's statement flying easily over her head. The duo watched their Care Giver easily scoop Twilight up off her feet and carry her back toward the rest of the group.





The moment the Trio had entered the fair Trixie had been utterly mesmerized and fascinated by the myriad of different games and activities available. Twilight had been taken away by Care Givers after her little incident involving the tree. Trixie couldn't say she was too surprised they had been separated.

Twilight had always been a strange Bab, and often required the assistance of Care Givers to navigate locations. She constantly stumbled over herself while walking and her ability to drool was unmatched. She also had a bad habit of blanking out in the middle of conversations. 

They were all quirks many littles shared. What made Twilight so unusual was that she exhibited all three quirks at once. Usually, other littles only had one. They drooled a lot, stumbled, or blanked out. Twilight was the only Bab Trixie knew who exhibited all three quirks at once.

In the absence of Twilight, Trixie had dragged Starlight along with her instead. She was Intent on showing her friend a day of fun and festivities! Unfortunately, the pink unicorn girl was proving to be a less-than-ideal play partner. It wasn't that Trixie wasn't having fun with Starlight, nor that the girl was making her upset. It was more so that she felt like Starlight wasn't having any fun. 

Even though Starlight smiled, babbled, and giggled as they played, Trixie couldn't shake the feeling that her friend wasn't actually playing with her. It was like the pink girl was miming playing. She was displaying all the right facial expressions, and saying all the right things, but she wasn't really having fun.

The pair had played many games together. Bean Bag Toss, Block Stack, Pacify: The Board Game, etc! But Starlight hadn't fought to win nearly as hard as she used to. One particular moment of oddity came when Trixie asked Starlight if she wanted to watch the Pamper Packers show.

Trixie had nearly exploded with excitement when she presented the idea to Starlight but her friend had adamantly refused. The poor girl almost looked terrified at the idea. Trixie knew some littles were nervous about watching shows, however, she had never seen such a visceral reaction from Starlight before. Especially regarding such a highly praised act.

Starlight had apologized but had made Trixie promise she wouldn't attend any shows and that she would only play games around the fairgrounds. Trixie had conceded and that was why the pair now found themselves sitting on the grass surrounded by blocks. 

"Oooooo wook at dis one Starwight!" Trixie babbled excitedly as she fiddled with a small handful of blocks. The blocks had all manner of fun symbols on them. Letters of the alphabet, numbers, colored spirals, phrases of obedience fun.

"Mmmmm? Oh! yeahs..." Starlight responded with a tone of disinterest. "theyish all fanciess..."

"yeahs..." Trixie said as she rolled the block over onto its side and revealed a spiral symbol. The blue unicorn girl stared at Starlight with concerned curiosity.

The pair sat in silence as Trixie mulled over what her next course of action should be. She desperately wanted to ask Starlight if she was alright. If there was anything should could do to help her. But a little voice in the back of Trixie's head told her that was a bad idea.

But why? Why was it a bad idea? Surely checking up on a friend wasn't a bad thing right? 

"Hey, Girls!" The soft soothing voice of a Care Giver interrupted Trixie's Thoughts, "Are you enjoying yourselves?" A few soft babbles followed the end of the sentence.

Trixie snapped her head in the direction of the voice and saw Twilight babbling happily in the safe embrace of their Care Giver. 

"Yus!" Trixie responded happily as she threw her arms into the air. "We's been having gweat funsh!" 

Starlight simply nodded silently as she lazily played with a pair of spiral blocks.

"Well, I'm glad you two are having fun!" The Giver said with a soft melodic giggle as it set Twilight down on the grass next to Trixie with a satisfying plop.

"Weeessshh had funnsies too!" Twilight babbled happily as a stream of drool rolled down her chin.

Twilight had seen quite the fashion upgrade since Trixie had last seen her outside the fairground. Instead of her usual outfit of only a diaper, she was now wearing a pink and white bib plus a bright blue bonnet secured tightly around her head. 

The bib had already seen some use as a couple of stains were already present on its otherwise pristine surface. The edges of the bonnet were already coated in a soft layer of soot implying the purple unicorn girl had already stumbled into the ground while wearing it.  

"That's right!" The Care Giver responded softly. "And we're going to have even more fun after lunch right?~" 

Twilight nodded excitedly as she kicked her legs into the air and her diaper crinkled softly. "Buhhh! Yus!"

Trixie and the Care Giver giggled at Twilight's excitement. It was great to see that at least one of her friends was having fun in Pamperville. Trixie opened her mouth to say something but she was interrupted by the chiming of bells in the distance. 

Attention all Care Givers! Please report to the Little Eatery for final prep! Attention all Care Givers! Please report to the Little Eatery for final prep! Thank you. 

As the message came to an end, so did the chiming bells. The Care Giver turned back to the group with a soft smile on its face. "Oh my!" It said happily as it clapped its hands together. "It appears the food is almost ready!" Twilight perked up at the mention of food.

"I best be off." The Care Giver said as it gave the trio a small wave. "You girls behave yourselves while I'm gone alright?" 

"We wills!" Trixie and Twilight babbled in unison with a smile. Starlight opted to do her now usual response of nodding silently while staring at the ground. The Care Giver eyed Starlight briefly before it smiled, turned away from the group, and headed toward the large building at the center of town.





After the Care Giver had departed, Trixie, Starlight, and Twilight continued to play with the blocks. Or rather, Twilight and Trixie had continued to play with the blocks. Starlight had been less than enthused and seemed lost in her own little world.

Trixie and Twilight had stacked the blocks as high as they could but the stack had ultimately toppled over due to a lack of balance. It was while Trixie and Twilight grieved over their loss of stack height that a new Care Giver had come along and ushered the trio toward the building at the center of town. 

The pair had been guided through a pair of large clear glass doors and had arrived in a large cafeteria. Rows upon rows of plastic tables, bean bag chairs, and picnic mats lined the main area. Two large double doors were positioned along the right wall of the building. Care Givers continually filed the small opening and carried trays of delicious baby food to the myriad of littles eagerly awaiting it in their seats.

Toward the tops of the walls, sets of small pink speakers had been mounted continually playing a soft soothing melody. The floor was a harsh marble tile. Despite the seemingly chaotic nature of the serving environment, the room was shockingly clean. The floors practically sparkled.

The Care Giver guided Trixie, Twilight, and Starlight to a small plastic yellow kids' table and started to get everyone seated. 

As the trio took their places, An aroma of something wafted through the space. Trixie couldn't quite identify what the smell was, but she liked it. Teams of Care Givers surrounded the group as they carried trays of pink plastic plates housing big globs of mushy Nom Noms to nearby tables. Trixie could feel herself starting to drool at the sight of so much delicious food.

"Ammm hunngggyyyshhh~" Twilight babbled softly to herself in the chair next to Trixie. Trixie nodded quietly in response. 

The group sat in silence for a while before a Care Giver approached their table.

"Well hello there girls! Are you enjoying your stay with us here in Pamperville?"

Twilight babbled happily and nodded her head, "Yush! Twily wuvs Pamperville! Bwaaaahhh!"

Trixie nodded enthusiastically in response and Starlight continued her trend of saying nothing.

"That's great to hear!" The Care Giver said softly, "Have any of you found a favorite game/activity yet?~"

"Da bwocks!' Twilight slurred back with a wide dopey smile on her face.

The Care Giver giggled, "Ooooo! Excellent choice~ That's my favorite game too ~" it said with a wink.

Twilight giggled and lazily clapped her hands together.

"Now then," The care giver said as it pulled a small notebook out of its pocket, "Do any of you know what flavor of Nom Noms you want today?" The Care Giver turned its attention to Trixie. "I promise you we have every flavor your imagination can think up!" It finished with a bright smile.

Trixie nearly imploded from excitement right then and there. The prospect of any flavor being a viable option was almost overwhelming. There were so many possibilities, and so much potential to find an amazing combination of flavors no Little had tried before!

Deciding she couldn't possibly decide this for herself, Trixie turned excitedly to Starlight to ask what flavor she should start with but decided against it after seeing Starlight's Expression. A look of pure disgust was seared onto the pink girl's face. Not only that, but she appeared to be eyeing their Care Giver not with awe or admiration, but rather fear and uncertainty.

Starlight had been acting weird all day for sure, but the sudden shift from unusual behavior to open disgust at their Care Giver was unsettling. The reaction was so far afield from what Trixie had expected from her friend that it threw her for a bit of a loop and completely halted all the momentum of her excitement.

"O-oh um." Trixie began with a tone of unease. Her mojo having been thoroughly thrown off by Starlight.  "Do um, do yous hash mashed carwots?" She asked deciding to go with her usual favorite.

The Care Giver smiled widely at Trixie before responding, "Of course we do!~" The simple yet joyful response and wide smile helped ease Trixie's mind.

"Den I wans dat pwease!" The blue unicorn girl replied with a slight smile.

"Excellent choice sweetie~ And for you?" The Care Giver asked as it turned its attention to Starlight while jotting down Trixie's order with a crayon. Trixie followed the Care Givers gaze.

Starlight averted her gaze from the Care Giver and instead looked down at the yellow plastic table. "I'll jus takes bwuebewwy if you has it..." She mumbled quietly.

The Care Giver nodded enthusiastically as it turned toward Twilight. "And you Twi-"

"-Appwles!" Twilight shouted happily before the Care Giver could finish the question. "I wans apples!" She repeated excitedly as she bounced in her chair. The Care Giver giggled at Twilight's enthusiasm before responding with. "Of course~" After it responded, it nodded and departed from the table.

After the Care Giver left, the trio of girls sat at their table in relative silence. Trixie had attempted to spark some level of conversation with Starlight while they waited but the girl had refused to talk and the attempt had fizzled out. Starlight was not in a conversational mood it seemed.

Thus the group had waited in silence until a small trio of Care Givers had approached the table. They had each placed a large tray containing a pile of mushy Nom Noms in front of Trixie, Twilight, and Starlight each containing the flavors the girls had requested.

Trixie and Twilight had practically nose-dived into their Nom Noms eager to eat the delicious-looking slop, but had been stopped by their Care Givers. Trixie had been equipped with a white and blue bib; Starlight with a white and yellow one, and Each of the girls had been "assigned" a Care Giver. It sat beside each of them and helped shovel the Nom Noms into their mouths with a spoon. 

This was to prevent as much spillage and mess as possible while also monitoring them their food intake. Trixie and Twilight got along well with their Care Giver and had obediently waited for them to shovel the food into their mouths for their enjoyment. Starlight, however, had become a bit of a brat.

"I duns wants any!" Starlight babbled at her Care Giver annoyed.

Trixie raised an eyebrow at this as her Care Giver shoveled another spoonful of Nom Noms into her mouth. 

"Come on now Sweetie," Starlight's Care Giver said softly, "Nom Noms are good for you! You need to eat them~"

Starlight shook her head defiantly and flailed her arms at the Care Giver, "Nuh! I dun wants it!" 

The two Care Givers shared a look of concern as Trixie felt another lump of mush slide down her throat. Trixie couldn't understand Starlight's sudden aversion to Nom Noms. Nom Noms were tasty, especially in Pamperville. 

Trixie couldn't explain it, but something about the food in Pamperville was different. It tasted far superior to what they had been given on the Pamper Express and even at the Pamperlot Nursery.

The food practically melted in your mouth and tasted of cotton candy and sugar. The relaxing sensation it induced over one's body felt divine and the soft haze it laid over one's mind was equally amazing. If Trixie could describe the flavor in a single phrase, she would say it was mind-meltingly delicious. 

"Come on Starlight," The Care Giver began as it picked up some Nom Noms on a spoon and waved in gently in front of Starlight's face while making airplane noises, "Won't you at least give it a try?" 

Starlight once again refused and the Care Giver sighed in defeat. It turned to Trixie's Care Giver with a contemplative look and mouthed something silently. Trixie's Care Giver returned a solemn nod. With a soft groan, Starlight's Care Giver stood and made for the double doors at the far end of the cafeteria.

Trixie opened her mouth to inquire about the strange interaction but was interrupted by another spoonful of Nom Noms being shoveled into her mouth. The mind-melting haze and delicious flavor infected her mind and her question slipped away into the abyss before it could ever be asked.




Twilight and Trixie had spent the remaining lunchtime scarfing down every bit of Nom Noms given to them by their Care Givers. Starlight had remained a grumpy little brat. She stoutly refused to eat even a morsel of the delicious mush. The food was so good Trixie couldn't even begin to fathom her friend's sudden aversion to it.

After lunch had ended, Twilight and Trixie had been returned to the fairgrounds. Each one was intent on playing every game they hadn't played already. The duo had found a claw machine tucked away in a back corner of the fairgrounds where one could win a myriad of prizes ranging from pacifiers and baby bottles to shakers and small stuffies.

It was a shockingly simple game contained in a simple pink and black box with a glass top that allowed easy viewing of the stuffies and prizes within. Adorning the edges of the machine were a series of dim ball lights strung together like Christmas lights. 

The machine had two main controls, a joystick to control the position of the claw arm and a large pink button that lowered the claw to grab a toy. All one had to do was move the claw arm over the prize they wanted and press the button. The lights adorning the edges would flash a bright pink, the claw arm would lower, and theoretically, you'd grab a prize!

The pair had spent an unknown amount of time at the machine trying to win a paci or a fuzzy companion but alas their efforts had not been rewarded. Every time Trixie or Twilight pressed the button, the claw arm would lower, grab a prize, and then a few seconds later would pull up nothing. 

After this happened several times in a row, the pair grew disillusioned with the game and waddled off to find something else to do. Neither one of the girls had realized that every time they pressed the pink button and the lights flashed, the machine had mesmerized them.

The pair would slump limply in place and drool blankly onto themselves for a couple of minutes before waking up and seeing they had won nothing. In reality, the claw didn't even try to grab a prize. All the button did was lower the claw to give off the illusion of a winnable game.

After the frustrating experience that had been the claw machine, Trixie had Twilight had passed by the many tents housing shows and other events. After a little bit of convincing, Trixie had convinced Twilight to follow her to the Pamper Packers show Starlight had been so against watching earlier.

Trixie didn't remember much about the show only that there was a bright flash of light and fireworks about halfway through and the next thing Trixie knew she and Twilight were lying on a changing table receiving a fresh diaper from their Care Giver. The pair hadn't even realized they'd made a mess while watching the show.

As Twilight and Trixie exited the changing station, dusk began to set in. Their time in Pamperville was almost over. This initially saddened Trixie who feared she wouldn't be able to experience everything in Pamperville before the day ended, however, as the pair moved through the fairgrounds in search of more games to play, Trixie realized they had either tried or played everything the fair had to offer.

Her sadness had instantly converted into excitement as she realized she'd accomplished her goal. And seeing as none of the Care Givers they'd come across lately had tried to usher them toward the train station or heard them to a specific spot, Trixie reasoned they probably had a decent amount of time left in their stay at Pamperville.

Having accomplished their mission of playing everything at least once, Twilight and Trixie set their sights on a new goal. They wanted to find any obscure or unpopular attraction at the fair. It was this mindset that led to the pair wandering about the outskirts of the fairground looking for anything of interest.

The loud shouts and giggles of their fellow Littles were but muffled background noise in the distance as the duo wandered through the lush green and grassy fields of the Pamperville fair's border. 

"Today was funsies! Wouldnsh' you's agwee Twily?" Trixie asked Twilight as they marched across the grass that was so soft it felt like they were stepping on a cloud.

"yesshhhhh..." Twilight slurred back as she drooled and stumbled in place. Without a Care Giver to assist her, Twilight was forced to keep herself upright, a task that was particularly difficult for the regressed pony girl.

"Mhm mhm!" Trixie nodded ecstatically. "Andsh we're goinsh has even mur funsies nextsh timesh wight?!"

"Buuuhhhhhh~" Twilight nodded in reply with a dopey smile. Her diaper crinkled loudly as she spread her legs to regain balance and prevent herself from falling over. Trixie giggled at Twilight's antics. The purple unicorn girl was so adorable.

The pair walked in silence for a bit, the only sound being that of their crinkly fresh diapers rubbing against their crotch and thighs. The warm afterglow of dusk seeped into the thatch-roofed building of Pamperville and filled the air with a warm evening glow as the sun began to sink below the horizon.

"Hey, was dat?" Twilight asked as she came to a sudden stop and tilted her head.

Trixie nearly tripped over herself as she stumbled to a stop and followed Twilight's gaze across the grass. Just a few yards away sat a large blue and yellow dunk tank with a small wooden sign stationed a few feet in front of it. Curious, the pair waddled over to the sign and began to read.

"intwoducing Chwysalis, da pamper queen?" Trixie read aloud with confusion in her voice. Who in Equestria was Chwysalis? A soft babble pulled Trixie's attention away from the sign and toward the dunk tank as she realized someone was sitting inside the dunk tank.

Trixie waddled over to the dunk dank and peered inside.

"Mwwammff!" A jet-black girl with green hair and a sharply curved horn atop her head babbled at them from inside the tank. A dark black and green pacifier sat neatly in her mouth and she was wearing a green and black diaper with the words "Queen of the Changelings" embroidered on the front.

"Is dish da Chwysalis fwom da sign?" Twilight asked as she waddled up to the dunk tank and pressed her face against the glass shield separating them from the strange girl. The girl was unlike anything Twilight had ever seen. For one, her skin wasn't furry but rather sharp and brittle almost like a bug.

Her eyes were snake-like but also pony-like, and her horn was a far cry from the stubby swirly cones unicorns had. 

"I duns knows..." Trixie responded with a shrug as she eyed the area around the dunk tank. "Buh maybe, ish ahs to bes wight?" 

Twilight could only shrug in response. She had no way of knowing either. What kind of name was Chwysalis anyway?

Trixie noticed a thin yellow line had been spray-painted onto the grass near the dunk tank. A rather strange addition to the otherwise pristine grass of Pamperville. Trixie pointed this out to Twilight and the pair waddled over to it. Looking up from the line Trixie saw a bright red and black buzzer button with the words "Dunk Me!" written proudly on it.

The strange device was mounted to a small yellow wall that jutted out from the dunk tank. Further inspection revealed a large pile of bouncy balls that had been placed directly next to the yellow line. It only took a moment for Trixie to realize what she was looking at.

"oh oh oh!" Trixie said excitedly as she waddled over to the pile of bouncy balls. "Twily look! Is a dunk game!"

"Ish a dunk geme!" Twilight repeated happily as she threw her arms into the air and started to do a little happy dance. Her dance only lasted a few seconds before a look of confusion crossed her face and she stared at Trixie quizzically, "Wassat?"

Trixie giggled at Twilight's question and gestured to the line and the buzzer. "Ish vewy simple twily! All we has ta do is throw dese boucny balls at da buzzer and our fwend will falls into da tank!" Trixie mimed the act of throwing the bouncy ball and their green-haired friend falling into the water with her hands.

"Oooooooooo" Twilight Oo'd in response as she stumbled over to the bouncy ball pile and picked one up. "Lemme twy lemme twy!"

Trixie giggled once more as she stepped aside and gestured to the line, "By all meansh!~"

Twilight giggled with excitement as she stumbled up to the line and prepared to aim her throw. She was a master of stacking blocks and had rarely lost tik-tak-toe! She could hit a buzzer with a silly little bouncing ball easily no problem. With a nod of determination, Twilight cranked her arm back and threw the bouncy ball with all the might she could muster. 

The bouncy ball sailed through the air twirling and warping in the air as it glided over the grass and slammed into the ground only a few inches in front of the line. The bouncy ball gave one pathetic bounce before it rolled a few inches forward in the grass and came to a complete stop.

Twilight blinked a few times in confusion internally questioning what had just happened before she spoke. "Baaaaaahhh!" Twilight huffed in annoyance as she stuck her tongue out at the uncooperative bouncy ball. "Thash no fairs at all! It wus sposed ta bouncies!"

Trixie covered her mouth with her hands and did her best to hold back her laughter but couldn't help but let out a few snorts and giggles.

"Stoopid ball..." Twilight grumbled annoyed.

"Is oki Twily!" Trixie said with a soft giggle, "Lemme twies! I gots dis~"

Twilight continued to grumble in annoyance but quickly stepped aside to give Trixie some room.

Trixie waddled over to the bouncy ball pile and lazily grabbed one before returning to the throwing line. She stumbled in place as she winded her arm back and closed one eye for a more accurate throw. She narrowed her eyes and focused on the buzzer.

After a few seconds of aiming, Trixie flung her arm forward at maximum speed. The bouncy ball sailed through the air and bounced off the dirt with a satisfying plop three times before curving slightly and slamming right into the buzzer. A loud clank rang out as the dunk chair slammed back against the back of the dunk tank and the green-haired girl plummeted into the water.

The jet-black girl gasped in shock as the cold unforgiving water of the dunk tank enveloped her body. Her black and green pacifier popped out of her mouth and fell into the water with a wet plop as she flailed her arms wildly splashing heaps of water all about the tank interior. 

"Ishh coldz!!! bwaaaahhh!" The girl shouted as her diaper ballooned out and she began to float to the top of the water. Trixie and Twilight exploded into fits of laughter as they watched the green-haired girl babble and flail around in the cold water of the dunk tank.

"Sees!" Trixie said proudly as she puffed out her chest. "I tolds you I couldsh dos it!"

Twilight nodded excitedly with a wide smile plastered across her face. "Yus! I knews you coulds doo's it Twixie!" 

The sound of a train whistle blowing in the distance interrupted the pair's laughter/celebration. The PA system sparked to life with a loud crack and a pop as a voice began speaking.

Attention everyone, The Pamper Express is pulling into the station as we speak! We, the Care Givers of Pamperville hope you all enjoyed your stay with us! Please find your nearest Care Giver and head to the train station. We eagerly await your return and we promise to have even more games and fun activities prepared for you next time! 

With a loud click and a slight ring of feedback the voice disappeared. The distinct train whistle of the Pamper Express blew in the distance once more as a pair of Care Givers approached the duo to guide them back to the station. It was time to leave.

"Awwww!" Twilight groaned in annoyance. "buh I dunns wuns ta weave!" She pouted and crossed her arms.

Trixie nodded solemnly, "Yeahs... buh just tink! When wes comes back, they'll be even morsh games to twy!" 

Twilight's pouting quickly morphed into optimism as she gained a thoughtful look for a second before a smile crept onto her face. "Oh yeahs!" She replied with a giggle as the Care Givers lightly touched the two on the shoulder and began to guide them toward the train station.

As Trixie and Twilight headed toward the station and one of the Care Givers asked Twilight what her day had been like and what games she'd played, a realization struck Trixie like a freight train.

Where was Starlight?

This simple question swirled about in Trixie's head as she waddled toward the station. The world around her blurred and muffled itself as Twilight's responses to the Care Givers faded away. Starlight had been with them all day, hadn't she? Trixie blinked and looked around. Starlight was nowhere to be found

Where had her friend run off to? Was Starlight mad at her? No that couldn't be, they had been best of friends upon arriving at Pamperville and had played several games together. Sure Starlight had been upset about the show, and she had been acting a tad strange all day, but that didn't warrant disappearing right? 

Trixie thought back through her day searching for the moment she and Twilight had been separated from their pink unicorn companion. As she sifted through her memories, a gentle haze began to press against her mind. Why couldn't she remember?

Surely they hadn't been separated for long. The fact that Trixie hadn't noticed Starlight's absence until recently was clear evidence of that. And what was with the strange haze blanketing her mind? She needed to think. Trixie's face scrunched up as the haze increased in intensity and wrapped itself around her thoughts like a warm blanket.

Maybe she didn't need to think about it after all. She was a good little, and every good little knew Mommy's mantra. Good littles obey, and good littles forget. Good littles obey, and good little ones forget. As Trixie thought about the mantra her mind began to go blank. Her arms went limp as a single droplet of drool rolled down the side of her chin. 

The more she tried to think the harder it was for her to do so. Where was Starlight? What was happening to her? Why couldn't she remember?

Trixie felt her body move on its own as her diaper crinkled against her body and she felt herself waddling toward the train station with Twilight. Her movements were sluggish and uncoordinated as her eyes glazed over and her mind was pulled down into a vortex of warm fuzzy haze.

What had she just been so worried about? Did it even matter? The blue unicorn girl was certain it had mattered, but it must not have been that important if she had forgotten it so easily. Trixie reasoned that if her worry had been well founded she would have remembered it.

A thousand questions swirled about in Trixie's hazy mind but none stayed long enough to be considered let alone remembered. The warm fuzzy blanket around Trixie's mind ensured that every thought that bubbled up inside her silly little head floated away before her conscious mind could register its existence.

By the time Trixie's thoughts settled, she had wandered from the fairgrounds to the train station and Trixie now found herself staring blankly at the now-open doors of the Pamper Express without a single Care Giver in sight. 

"B-buhhh?" Trixie asked confused as the Haze lifted from her mind. The blue unicorn girl glanced around the empty train station with a look of confusion on her face. When had she gotten here? Where was Twilight? The empty station provided no answers.

"Ehhhh, ish pwobably fines...." Trixie said with a shrug as she turned and waddled through the open doors.

The Pamper Express


Chapter 5: Forgotten Truth




A gentle haze coated Starlight's mind like a blanket. Thoughts were difficult to come by, and even when they did, it was incredibly difficult for Starlight to register them before they slipped back into the warm hazy abyss. She tried to think, to remember where she had been and what she had been doing. 

Starlight's face scrunched up as she dug deep inside her subconscious in an attempt to coax the elusive thoughts from their hiding place. It took a few seconds but eventually, a few trickled forth. An image of a purple-haired girl outside a train, the gentle crinkling of a light blue diaper next to her, and a blue unicorn babbling happily in a colorful hallway.

Suddenly a spiral vortex of images and memories burst forth and began to swirl about the infinite white void of Starlight's mind. She saw a myriad of different people, places, and events. A nursery, a babbling Princess, A plate full of slop. Starlight tried to snatch the memories up and hold onto them. She needed them! She needed to understand them, to understand herself! Alas, it was not to be.

Each image traveled by at such speed it passed in a blur and was lost. Starlight growled in frustration as every single memory faded from her mind and was quickly forgotten. The vortex of images faded to nothing and soon Starlight's mind was a white void once again.

A brief moment passed before an explosion of color 

All at once the fog lifted and a torrent of memories flooded into Starlight's mind.

She had been in Pamperville! That's right, She had taken the Pamper Express there with Trixie and Twilight. They had been eating lunch in the Little Eatery before she had been taken by the Care Givers for refusing to eat her Nom Noms. Starlight groaned softly as she slowly opened her eyes. 

The site she was met with was not what she had expected to see. She was sitting in a chair in a dimly lit room. A single flickering lamp hung from the ceiling. It creaked softly with every sway and stretch of the rope holding it in place. The distinct sound of water dripping echoed through the room, and the distant clanking of metal and the hum of machinery echoed through the walls

The room was a far cry from the sort of environments she was used to. Gone were the colorfully painted walls and decorations of the Pamperlot Nursery or the sprawling fairgrounds of Pamperville, instead, the walls were coated in rust and showed clear signs of age.

Dirt and cobwebs had found their way into every crevice of the room. There were visible scratches and clots of dirt everywhere. On the floor, on the walls, and even on the ceiling. Starlight's gaze eventually wandered down to herself and her current predicament. 

She was sitting in a rusty metal chair. Her arms had been stabbed to the arms of the chair by pink leather straps and she could feel/see that her pink diaper was still wrapped snuggly around her waist.

"W-whush, where amsh Is?" Starlight asked aloud. Her soft question echoed about the metal walls of the room seeking an answer no one would give. After a few seconds of internal confusion and a subtle build-up of fear in her chest. Starlight attempted to wiggle free from the chair.

"Hnnng! Comes onssh! Lemme, out!" Starlight whined. The leather straps were tightly secured around her arms and stubbornly refused to release her. It was while she struggled to free herself that a door swung open to her right and two Care Givers stepped in.

Starlight froze in place. What were they doing here? Were they going to take her back to Pamperville? Where was Trixie and Twilight? What was this place? Were they going to do something to her?! 

"Yes yes I know the speech is tomorrow but I already told her the difficulties we're experiencing keeping her under and now this Little one is back for the seventh time!" A soft but frustrated voice said from behind the door as the pitter-patter of footsteps reached Starlight's ears.

Starlight tensed up as the footsteps grew closer and a nagging voice in the back of her head told her she recognized that voice but the name eluded her. Eventually, a yellow pegasus girl with bright pink hair and glasses marched through the door. A white lab coat was draped over her top half while slim yoga pants coated her lower regions.

The girl stormed across the room and stopped in front of a rusty metal table in the corner covered in blueprints, bolts, and papers. Starlight couldn't help but stare as the faintest edge of a memory wormed its way to the front of her mind.

"Buhhhh Wha? Issshhh Youus?" Starlight babbled confused as she stared intently at the yellow pegasus. Why did she look so familiar?

All at once, a chorus of images assaulted Starlight's mind. She saw a cottage on a hill, A soft yellow curtain, three pink butterflies, a being of wonky proportions, and a smiling face. Starlight's eyes widened in shock as an image of the main hall of the castle of friendship formed in her mind and she saw all of her friends. 

Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, AJ, Trixie, Rarity, Spike, and a yellow pegasus sitting around a crystal table. That was her! Fluttershy! Yes, that was her name. She remembered! But this wasn't the Fluttershy Starlight was used to. The Fluttershy Starlight remembered was soft, and timid, but kind and strong when she needed to be.

The girl that stood before her now was sharp, wound up, and seemingly harsh. She radiated an aura of a mother bear who fiercely wanted to protect her cubs. It was the kind of parental supervision that screamed 'You don't want to mess with me'. But what had happened? Why did Fluttershy look and feel so different from how Starlight remembered her?

"Starlight, Starlight, Starlight," the pegasus girl mumbled quietly to herself as she read one of the papers that had been scattered about the metal desk.

As the memories faded to the back of Starlight's mind, she began to wonder if this was Fluttershy. It certainly looked like her, and even sounded like her, but it was wrong. Her gentle demeanor had been replaced by an almost sickly sweet aura. There was a level of sharpness to her caring voice and a slight hint of unhinged in her movements.

"Ah yes! Starlight." Fluttershy spat with venom in her tone. She twitched and slowly turned to face Starlight as she leaned against the table and pulled a different piece of paper off of the table. 

"This is your seventh time here with us this year according to our records." The yellow pegasus said with an air of disinterest. "It seems you need another reset of your Care Program and-" Fluttershy sighed as she stopped talking.

She threw the paper from her hand and allowed it to gently soar into the air like a leaf as it gently floated down toward the ground. She turned her attention to the Care Givers who Starlight now realized were still present in the room.

"Is there anything new I need to know about this subject?" Fluttershy asked sharply as she flashed the two Care Givers a patient smile. One of the Care Givers nodded and stepped forward. 

"This arrived from the palace this morning." It presented a small piece of pink paper to Fluttershy

"Ah, why thank you!" Fluttershy said with a twitch as she reached out and grabbed the paper. She read quietly to herself and Starlight could swear the yellow pegasus started to smile. "Oh, I see!" She said with an air of genuine excitement.

"Finally~," She said happily as she looked up at Starlight. "I've been asking her about this for months now!" The yellow pegasus said exasperated. She giggled as her wings twitched. "It's good to see she's finally listened to me!" Fluttershy once again tossed the paper aside and gently clapped her hands together. "Care Givers, please escort our friend here to section L1." Fluttershy said softly.

The response was immediate. One of the Care Givers rushed over and immediately untied the restraints holding Starlight down while the other wrapped their strong arms around Starlight's midsection. Starlight let out a bewildered, "Whaaa?" as she was lifted out of the chair and slung over the Care Givers shoulder.

"Don't you worry Starlight," Fluttershy said with a melodic giggle. "We're going to fix you~"

Starlight babbled in confusion but was too shocked to resist the Care Givers as she was carried out of the room and into the darkness of the hallway.




Starlight panted and groaned as she stared at the floor. The soft whistling of her Care Giver echoed about the dark metal hallway. The melody of the whistling was song-like and sweet. It whispered into her mind with a comforting voice and made her body go limp. 

This was wrong. A simple melody shouldn't have this much of an effect on her. She was a big girl, she didn't need to be lulled to sleep and she shouldn't be controlled like this! Alas, she couldn't resist. A sudden beam of light cut through the darkness as Starlight heard the screech of a rusty metal hinge opening.

Starlight groaned as she was carried into a large rectangular room and a torrent of bright white and pink lights assaulted her eyes. The blooming effect of it was so great that for a second Starlight thought she'd been placed before the sun. Everything glowed a sharp bright hue as her eyes adjusted.

A series of rectangular LED lights hung from the ceiling. Several rows of lights were mounted to the sides of the walls and a low droning tone rumbled through the room. The room was as sterile as sterile could get. Not a single speck of dust or hint of dirt was present, a far cry from the room she'd just been in where rust was the new moss.

Starlight's nose scrunched up in confusion as an odd smell assaulted her nostrils. It wasn't dirty or bad per se, but it was unnatural and chemical in nature. No room was meant to be this clean. It was as Starlight's eyes finally adjusted to the lighting that she realized they weren't alone.

Rows of large metal chairs lined the room. Each on had a long arched back like a recliner chair that faced a large bright screen or series of LED lights that blasted whoever was seated in them with an image or combination of colors Starlights mind couldn't understand. Almost every single chair was occupied by someone.

They all had the same empty look in their eyes that Starlight had observed with all of the passengers outside of the train station and a few of them had the same spiral in their eyes that Trixie had had in the hallway at the Pamperlot Nursery.

"W-wha... Ish dis?" Starlight asked horrified. Her mind reeled as a torrent of memories began to assault her mind and the haze returned in full force. She saw a schoolhouse, a trio of three girls running into a clubhouse, A large barn with three apples on the front, and a vibrant blue sky.

A blue unicorn girl with a magician's hat of stars and a dashing cape. A series of fireworks light up the sky above a castle of suns. A castle of gems and a map of friendship. There was a small purple and green dragon, and a pink lady in a crown wearing a devilish smile.

These were Starlight's friends, she knew these people. She had lived with them in Ponyville, had talked with them, gotten to know them, loved them. And now here they were, trapped in a prison of lights, sound, and screens. Strapped into chairs by pink straps drooling their lives away.

Who would do this? How had this happened? How had none of them seen this coming? Who were their Care Givers? Where was their princess? Their protectors and their leaders? What happened to the castle of friendship? Millions of questions bounced around inside Starlight's head.

Just beside her, A dark velvet girl with pink hair and green eyes sat slumped in her chair. Starlight was fairly certain the girl's name was Cheerilee. The girl stared blankly up at the television hanging in front of her. Drool poured from her mouth and the occasional twitch/moan was the only indication she was even alive. What had they done to her?

As the monster Care Giver carried her through the Celestia-forsaken room, A soft pulsing pain began to form in Starlight's head. She could feel the familiar haze beginning to press against her mind. It was trying to make her forget like so many others. But this time, Starlight fought back.

She needed to remember this, to hold onto what she had seen so that she could warn the others, and perhaps free them from this prison! Every chair she was carried past, Starlight made a point to remember and rediscover the names of every single one of her trapped friends.

Cloud Chaser, Flitter, Blossomfourth, Mrs. Harshwhinny, Moon Dancer, Sassy Saddles, she passed by them all. Each one more mindless than the last, slumped over, babbling, gurgling, drooling, and crinkling in a diaper none of them should have needed. Why were they showing her all this? More importantly, what were they about to do to her?

As Starlight and the Care Giver approached the end of the long room and the end of the rows of chairs, the faint humming of electricity reached Starlight's ears. The Care Giver carried Starlight to yet another rusty metal door at the end of the room and after fiddling with the handle for a few seconds swung it open.

The electrical hum that had once been faint practically assaulted Starlight's ears the second the door was opened. As the duo stepped through the door Starlight was met with a much smaller square-shaped room. The walls were coated in computers, buttons, and lights detailing all levels of information Starlight couldn't decipher.  

The room was much darker than the previous room, gone were the bright screens and LEDS lights instead replaced by a few lightbulbs dangling from the ceiling. Sitting below them barely illuminated by the lights was a singular large metal chair. Starlight could just barely make out the silhouette of someone sitting in it.

"Will she be ready in time for tomorrow?" Starlight's Care Giver asked aloud. The audible question caused Starlight to jump in place.

"I believe so." Another Care Giver that Starlight hadn't realized was also in the room responded as it stepped out of the shadows. A soft groan from the silhouette in the chair made Starlight tense up in unease. 

"Excellent! I'll inform Her Majesty right after I finish up with this one." Her Care Giver said as it patted Starlight's pampered rump eliciting a soft grunt of anger from Starlight. "Tsk tsk tsk," The Care Giver admonished in response to Starlight's protest, "Can you believe this is her seventh time with us? Ridiculous!" 

"Really? Her seventh time?" The other responded with a tone of exasperation.

"Honestly, it's high time Her Majesty approved Mrs. Fluttershy's request, and luckily for us." It said as it adjusted Starlight's position on its shoulder. "She did so today."

"Oh, that's excellent!" The other Care Giver responded with a tone that implied relief. "She has been a massive headache for several months now."

"Tell me about it. I'm the one that keeps getting assigned to her!"

The other Care Giver laughed. "Unlucky that's what I say." Starlight's Care Giver snorted in response.

"Anyway, I better finish up with Celly here before her big speech tomorrow, if we're lucky this will be the last time we need to perform this little procedure." The other Care Giver said enthusiastically as it walked over to the wall and pulled a large metal lever.

A horrible crackling/sizzling noise rang out as the sound of electricity rushing through wires screeched through the room. The lights and computers on the walls flickered wildly as Starlight felt her ears slam down against her head from the sheer volume. She watched in terror as the silhouette in the chair twitched and spasmed violently.

Bolts of pink and white energy surged forth from the spasming form as a high-pitched siren tone bounced about the room. Starlight clawed violently at her Care Giver as pure panic overcame her. She needed to get out of here, to escape this nightmare and not be subjected to whatever horrible procedures were being performed here. 

Alas, she was easily overpowered and her Care Giver held her firmly in place.

After a few grueling minutes. The horrible screeching and sizzling came to an end. A soft layer of smoke filled the room as the lights stopped flickering and the computers returned to their previous state of simply displaying information. The figure in the chair had long since gone limp.

"Now she's ready." The Care Giver said with a sickly sweet tone as it marched over to the other side of the room and flicked a small switch.

Light immediately flooded the room and Starlight's eyes were once again assaulted bright white light. It took a section for Starlight's eyes to adjust, but once they did the silhouette in the chair was revealed. Starlight's eyes widened in shock as she realized who it was.

There, slumped in the chair sat Princess Celestia. The princess's golden crown was nowhere to be found her frazzled rainbow hair flowed gently in a wind that didn't exist. Drool cascaded down her chest and dripped onto the floor. Starlight recognized the now familiar spiral pattern in the princess's eyes. 

A large fluffy white and golden diaper was positioned neatly between the princess's legs. A large elaborate stitching of her cutie mark was displayed upon the crotch area making sure to remind everyone who rose and set the sun. The phrase 'Princess Dum Dum' was printed along the bottom of the crotch area in tiny golden font.

Upon further inspection, Starlight released there was a large forest of pink and blue wires scattered about the floor around the princess's chair. Celestia's body was coated from head to toe with small electrodes. The wires rose from the ground and connected to a thin metal pin on the small devices before flowing down to the floor and disappearing into an even larger amazon of wires and circuits. 

The electrodes were positioned all over the princess's body, however, a particularly large cluster was stationed squarely on her forehead. Starlight watched the Care Giver lazily wander over to Celestia and begin to undo the straps holding the former ruler in place. 

The disgraced princess made no movements to resist or fight back at all. her body was completely limp and almost lifeless. Starlight was certain that whatever horrid procedure the Care Givers had bestowed upon the former sun goddess had eradicated any thoughts that might've remained in Celestia's head.

The two Care Givers stood in silence for a bit admiring their work before Starlight's Care Giver gave a soft cough and re-adjusted Starlight's position on its shoulder, "Well, I best finish up with this one." It gave Starlight's pampered butt a firm pat. Starlight growled in protest.

"Alright! I'll get Celly here all dressed up properly for her big day tomorrow~" The other replied with a joyful tone.

"Have fun!" Starlight's Care Giver replied.

Starlight felt panic begin to set in once more as the Care Giver carried her to the edge of the square room and came to a stop in front of a tall rusty door. Was she going to end up like Princess Celestia? Was she going to forget all of her friends again? What would happen to all of them if no one was left to remember how it used to be?

"Alright, here we are." The Care Giver said as it reached into its pocket and pulled out a large keychain featuring a large set of differently colored keys. It began fiddling with the chain searching for one key in particular. "Doooh, I always forget where I put that one!" It mumbled annoyed. It shook the chain in frustration causing a soft jingling sound to ring out.

Seeing that her Care Giver was distracted and feeling its grip loosen on her slightly, Starlight took her chance. "I dun wunna gos!" Starlight screeched as she kicked her legs in the air and began to throw a temper tantrum right on the Care Givers shoulder. 

"Gah! What the?! Hey!" The Care Giver yelped in surprise as it stumbled in place. Starlight slammed her hands against the Care Givers body with all her might in a desperate attempt to free herself from its grasp. For a second it appeared to be working. She felt the Care Givers grip loosen just a tad.

Grunting in effort she clawed at the Care Givers upper back and attempted to pull herself up and over its shoulder.

"Bad Girl! Bad Girl!" The Care Giver barked utterly exasperated. Why couldn't someone else handle this brat?

Starlight flailed her limbs wildly as her fussy assault continued. This was her chance! She'd caught her captor off guard and she had the element of surprise. Starlight felt a fierce passion well up deep inside her. A passion to fight for her freedom, escape her captors, and save her friends!

A plan began to form in Starlight's mind. She would escape this strange rusty prison, return to Pamperville, and find Twilight and Trixie. She would help them remember who they were and inform them of the state of Princess Celestia. Once she had her friends back on her side they would hunt down the rest of their friends and return to Pamperlot in force!

They would find whoever had done this to them, the person who had turned them into mindless drooling messes of their former selves, and forced them into diapers. The one who had created the Care Givers that constantly fed them slop, and forced them to obey. Yes, she could see it all now. Justice and freedom for her friends were just within her grasp!

What a shame it was then, that Starlight's efforts and plan were completely undermined by a simple five-letter word ushered by her Care Giver.

"Sleep."

All at once Starlight's mind and mental planning ground to a halt. her body instantly went limp as her thoughts were absorbed by the word, by the strict command of her Care Giver. The command bounced around inside Starlight's head creating a tempest of echoing voices and mantras that told her to relax. To obey, and forget.

Starlight's eyes glazed over as the memories of her friends, the knowledge she'd gained, and the horrors she'd experienced all vanished in the blink of an eye. She couldn't move, she couldn't think, she couldn't disobey. Starlight felt a gentle stream of drool leak out of her mouth and roll down her chin as her mind sank into a vortex of obedience.

Starlight could hear the muffled voice of her Care Giver mutter something incoherent followed by the creaking of an old rusty door opening. The Care Give had found the key. Starlight's eyes rolled back in her head as she was carried limply through the doorway and into the darkness.

The Pamper Express


Chapter 6: Mi Amore




The gentle crackling of a fireplace rang about the room. The soft orange glow of the flames danced happily along the walls. The sound of liquid swishing into a glass rang out as a light pink lady with dark purple and yellow hair sat comfortably on a red velvet chair. 

A bright yellow crown with blue encrusted gems lining the rim sat atop her head. A flowing pink dress coated her figure.

Along the wall sat hundreds of paintings detailing memories passed and a Care Giver stood stoically at the back of the room ready to answer the lady's every whim.

"You know," the lady said with a nostalgia-laced tone, "I remember when Celly took that picture." She gestured to a painting on the wall that detailed two tall ladies with wings and royal attire with a smaller girl between them waving happily. The smaller girl had a particularly broad smile adorning her features.

"She was always the sentimental type," The lady took a sip of her wine and swished the liquid about in her mouth savoring the taste. "I'm sure Twily appreciated it at the time." 

The Care Giver nodded silently.

At this, the conversation died and the pair sat in silence. 

The crackling of the fireplace continued on as the warm glow continued to swirl about the wall. The Care Giver glanced about the room noting the set of familiar paintings and photographs they'd observed so many times before. A gentle slurping sound echoed through the room as the pink lady took another sip from her glass.

A question began to form in the Care Givers mind, one they had been meaning to ask the lady for a few months now. "If I may Princess Cadance-" The care Giver paused as the Princess froze mid-action. Perhaps they shouldn't continue, but their curiosity was more powerful than their fear at this point.

"-Why did you do it?" The Care Giver finished with a slight tilt of their head.

At this Cadance sighed, "You mean subjugate Equestria?" The princess asked as she set her wine glass down on a nearby wooden table. 

The Care Giver nodded.

"What do you know of Princess Celestia Care Giver?" Cadance asked as she leaned back in her chair and scanned the wall of paintings and photographs again.

"She is the ruler of Pamperlot and the princess of potty pamps!"  The Care Giver recited almost automatically.

Cadance laughed and let out a humor-filled sigh. "Yes yes of course that's what she is now." She said with a dismissive hand-wave, "But what you don't know, is that she was also a fool."

The Care Giver gained a questioning look as they raised their eyebrow. "What do you mean Your Highness?"

Cadance let out a hollow laugh, "There was a time when Celestia was much different than she is now. A time when she was permitted to rule this land."

The Care Giver let out a shocked gasp at this, "Surely not!"

"Indeed," Cadance replied with a nod, "It's true, Equestria lacked any of the care programs it has today, and the citizens were allowed to navigate life without any supervision! Can you imagine that?" 

The Care Giver shook their head in disbelief. "How awful..."

"It was! But what made it worse, was her." Cadane said with a low growl as she pointed at a portrait of the once-great ruler. "She was so naive, so off-hand with the leadership of her people! Constantly sending them off into danger, failing to warn them of ancient evils she had unleashed eons ago! And entrusting the security of our nation to six under-prepared girls!" Cadane huffed, yanked her wine glass off the table, and gulped down what precious liquid remained.

"All the times she had me worried sick, the way she treated her citizens as second class, preaching that every problem could be solved with friendship! Lies!" Cadance spat as she waved her empty wine glass around in the air. "But after she allowed a bug to invade my wedding and she was useless in stopping it. That's when I had enough."

Cadance's voice was growing with intensity the more she spoke causing the Care Giver to shrink in her presence. Cadance's face contorted into a grimace as she lightly slammed her glass back onto the table.

"The only way to protect your citizens is to care about them," Cadance said stoutly. "Provide them all the care they could ever want, and NEVER let them out of your sight! We, I know what's best for my citizens and I will always take care of their every need."

The Care Giver let out a squeak of fear as Cadance stood from her chair and wandered over to the paintings.

"The same notion can be applied to national threats~" Cadance continued as a devious smirk crawled its way onto her face. "Villians, evildoers, you name it, are typically created by lack of care from others~ so we inject them with care!" Cadance said happily as her features softened and she turned to address the Care Giver properly.

"We will provide the care Celestia did not," Cadance said softly, "We will show them all what it means to have a loving mother, a Care Giver who is always by your side and will never forsake you. I have created a paradise that no one wishes to leave." The princess let out a content sight. 

"Isn't that wonderful? That is the reason I did what I did Care Giver. And look around you!" Cadance said gesturing around the room. "Look how much happier everyone is! How safe we all are now! Ponies, Villains, Changelings, and Diamond Dogs are all living together in harmony! What were once massive threats to Equestria now embrace the Care Giver program with open arms and live happily amongst us!" Cadence giggled as waved her arms about the room.

"Not even Celestia could manage that~" 

The Care Giver's fear had morphed into awe as the princess's inspirational speech had progressed. Whenever the Care Giver began to doubt its purpose, or the reasons behind it and the program's creation. Princess Cadance always found a way to remind it of why she was the one in charge. As the princess's passionate speech concluded, all the Care Giver could do was clap. 

Cadence gave the Care Giver a curt bow before she returned to her chair.

"Now then," she said with a soft clap. "You have a report for me?" 

"Huh" The Care Giver responded confused, the question having ripped it from its awe-inspired trance. "Oh! Y-yes Your Majesty." It said as it reached into its pocket and procured a scroll. It then rushed over to Cadance's chair, kneeled next to it, and presented it to her.

"Thank you Care Giver." Cadancec responded with a soft smile as she took the scroll from the Care Givers hands and unfurled it. The Care Giver smiled from the approval and returned proudly to its post at the edge of the room. Cadance mumbled quietly to herself as she read the scroll and her soft smile slowly morphed into a frown.

"She's already back in rehabilitation again?" Cadance asked with an exacerbated sigh as she sat up in her chair and slammed the scroll against her thigh with a loud slap.

"I'm afraid so Your Majesty." The Care Giver responded with a solemn nod. The poor girl in question had been to rehabilitation 7 times this year alone.

Cadence shook her head, "I swear her program wore off quicker than last time!" She threw an arm up in the air, "Why her and not Twilight?!" 

"We don't know your Highness, Twilight responded exceptionally well to the mind dump spell once it was applied to her program and has shown no signs of returning to independence." The Care Giver interjected.

The princess groaned tiredly, "It simply doesn't make sense! Perhaps I should simplify the whole problem and lobotomize her like Luna..."

"Are you sure that would be a good idea, your majesty?" The Care Giver asked. The Princess had made it clear to all of them that the Lobotomy program was a last-ditch resort only used If Littles showed intense resistance to the Care Program. Throwing the option out so blatantly and with such annoyance was unusual for Her Majesty.

Cadance sighed and placed a hand on her forehead. "No, no I'm not. I still firmly believe she can be coerced back into the program without such drastic measures, but I'm running out of options." The princess rubbed her chin thoughtfully with her hand, "I really thought the mind dump spell would solve this."

The pair sat in contemplative silence after this. What could they do? The Care Program rarely had difficulty with pony subjects like this. In fact, most of Equestria hadn't required more than a Level 1 program integration. Level 2 receivers were almost entirely comprised of the changeling population.

Even the Diamond Dogs hadn't required a level 2 integration. They had barely required a level 1 integration. Cases like this, involving a pony subject were most bizarre, no other Little had shown this much resistance to the program, and even fewer had had so many reported cases of recalling memories before their integration into the care program.

After taking some time to calm herself Cadance let out a sigh. "We'll shelve the matter for now but keep me updated on her condition." The Care Giver nodded.

"Now then, is Celly ready for her speech tomorrow?" Cadence asked. 

"According to Mrs. Fluttershy, Yes she is Your Majesty."

"Excellent!" The princess responded happily as she stood from her chair and adjusted her dress slightly. The news of Celestia's program completion was the good news she'd needed to start her morning with a bang. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must go check on Shiny and prepare for the ceremony tomorrow." With that Cadance started toward the door.

The Care Giver bowed and proceeded to hold the large door open for the princess with a smile on its face. There was no greater honor.




Trumpets sounded and a chorus of cheers rose up from the crowd as the royal Pamperlot Anthem began to play. A chorus of glockenspiel, xylophones, and toy pianos played along from the ground level as Care Givers and Littles waddled about Pamperlot Square.

Today was a day of festivities and fun as the great diaper wearer Celly was going to give the annual morning messy! Food was plentiful, vendors were everywhere, and pink spirals littered the many banners, signs, and paintings littering the grounds. 

The entire square had been converted into a carnival of sorts, strings of multi-colored flags ran across the sky and between buildings as confetti almost constantly rained down from above. It was a paradise of color for any Little. Trixie for her part, could not be more excited as she and Twilight waddled through the festive square. Simple games, blocks, rattles, and bibs were scattered about the space and she was eager to try all of them!

"Arensh you excitedsh Twily!" Trixie shouted at Twilight over the noise, "Wook at all duh fun gemesh we can pwaysh!"

Twilight simply nodded with her usual blank stare as some drool rolled down her chin. The combination of the music, spiral artwork, and symphony of diapers crinkling around them had begun to overload the poor girl's brain. Thinking had always been difficult for Twilight, but the constant crinkling was practically infecting her brain now and she was finding it increasingly challenging to focus on anything the blue-haired girl was telling her.

"Oh oh oh! Look at that one!" Trixie shouted enthusiastically as she gestured to a row of pink cushioned chairs on the grass surrounded by flowers with bright pink screens stationed in front of them displaying a positively mesmerizing image.

Beside the chairs were a small collection of alphabet blocks all stacked wildly out of order accompanied by some different colored shakers and rattles.

"Spiirallshhh...." Twilight droned out as her gaze lazily scanned the fairgrounds.

"Oh is all wooks sos funsh!" Trixie yelled unable to contain her excitement any longer. She grabbed Twilight by the shoulder and dragged the girl toward the blocks.

Twilight babbled and gurgled as she was whisked away. 

And so the duo darted between hundreds of games. The Morning Messy only happened once every two months, so Trixie was hellbent on making the most of their time there. 

Trixie found that of the two of them, she was the most invested in the games. Twilight had a bad habit of slumping over mid-game and drooling with a blank expression on her face particularly when the games involved any bright lights or pink symbols! Twilight was such a silly girl~

Of the games they played, Stack the spiral block, stare at the Swirlies, kick the Plushie, whack-a-brain, and brain pushers were the best ones! By the time they were done, Trixie had gone from wearing only a diaper to a full-on outfit consisting of a bright pink bonnet, a yellow bib that had the phrase "Good Littles Forgot" plastered on the front of it, and a pink pacifier that was attached to the bib by a plastic strap.  

"Wasn't dat super funshies Twily?" Trixie asked as the pair waddled away from a candy store. Trixie was holding a large pink lollipop in her hand. 

"Yeesshss~" Twilight responded with a dumb smile as she waddled beside Trixie. "Wusshh funnshh~ wuuvvv spirallsshhh~" 

Trixie nodded. "uh huh! They's pwetty to wook at!" Trixie smiled happily as she began to lick away at her lollipop. 

A chorus of trumpets interrupted the pair's conversation as a bell rang.

We hope each and every one of you is having a wonderfully mindless time! Princess Celly is about to give the Morning Messy! Please Follow your Care Giver to the main staging area! Thank you! 

With another ring the announcement ended and Care Givers around the fairgrounds began to usher the attendees toward the square once again. Twilight was the first to be grabbed by a Care Giver followed by a few other girls around them. 

But Trixie was left alone, as she often was. Perhaps because she could still waddle about fairly easily by herself, but she was rarely escorted around at such events. Usually, she ended up right where she needed to be without much thought. 

It was while she waddled toward the central square that a thought began to bubble up inside her. During the excitement of the Morning Messy and a day of fun games, she'd completely forgotten Starlight wasn't with them anymore. Where had the Care Givers taken her? And why was she missing out on such an important day?




The gentle hiss of a train stopping rang through the station. The Pamper Express had returned somewhat prematurely as the direct order of the Princess. After a few seconds, the train doors flew open revealing Princess Cadance and a drooling pink unicorn girl. The princess had a soft smile on her face as she wheeled the girl out of the train and onto the platform proper.

"I do wish you could've been more like Twilight, Starlight," Cadence said as the pair descended the ramp leading out of the station. The train whistle sounded as the Pamper Express departed. "But you were causing me so much grief!" 

Starlight smiled dumbly at the mention of her name and babbled as Cadence continued, "I really tried everything, spells, levels of care, even experimental programs! But you just couldn't be a good Little could you?~" 

"Bwaaaahhh!" Starlight gurgled happily as she flopped around in the wheelchair. A waterfall of drool poured down the girl's face

"But it's alright~ I finally found the perfect treatment for you~" Cadence finished as she gave Starlight a light poke on the forehead with her finger.

The duo continued in a silence that was occasionally broken by a babble or gurgle from Starlight. The treatment had worked perfectly. Cadence could hear the thunderous cheers and applause coming from Pamperlot Square. It was almost time for the ceremony to start.

She wheeled Starlight through the now-empty confetti-covered fairgrounds and into the central square propper. A massive crowd of people greeted them as Cadence stopped pushing the wheelchair and surveyed the crowd looking for two ponies in particular.

Luckily she quickly found who she was looking for. With a nod and a soft smile on her face, she resumed pushing the wheelchair. 

The pair weaved through the crowd as confetti flew into the air and trumpets sounded. Littles from all across Equestria dance about in their frilly little outfits, rattles waved frantically about and the sound of diaper crinkles competed with the music for space.

Eventually, the pair burst through a particularly thick section of Littles and found themselves right next to Trixie and Twilight.

"Starwight!" The blue-haired girl practically screeched over the noise as Cadence wheeled the girl into view. Trixie wasted no time running up to her friend and giving her a bone-crushing hug. 

Twilight mostly ignored Trixie as she stared up at where Celly would stand and give her speech.

Starlight let out a gurgle of surprise from the sudden contact but otherwise said nothing. A devilish smirk wormed its way onto Cadence's face as she watched Starlight flail dumbly about in her chair.

"Starwight?" Trixie repeated confused after receiving no verbal response. She pulled back from her hug and noticed a strange marking running across Starlight's forehead and the stream of drool running down the girl's face.

"Are yous okay starwy?" Trixie asked again as she tilted her head utterly bewildered. 

Starlight once again said nothing.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Sweetie." Mamma's voice cut through Trixie's confusion as she realized who the person pushing the wheelchair was.

"M-Mamma?! Wush are you doingsh heres?" Trixie asked in surprise.

"Oh nothing major, I'm just returning your friend to you, Trixie~" Mamma said with a melodic giggle as she gestured to Starlight. "Although I hope you are patient with her, she's been through quite a bit recently~" 

Trixie's eyes widened with realization. "Ooooooooooh! Okay!" She said as her confused expression morphed into an excited one. She would have to treat her friend delicately at least for today.

Mamma giggled and gave Trixie a few pats on the head. "Make sure to take good care of her mkay?~"

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!" Trixie responded with an enthusiastic nod. 

Just then the trumpets sounded again as the confetti stopped and a bright spotlight flickered to life facing the royal balcony. Trixie, Twilight, and the rest of the crowd went silent as they turned their attention to the balcony just in time to watch Princess Celly waddle into view.

Cadence used the momentary distraction to slip back into the crowd and disappear.

"P-pwincessh~" Twilight murmured to herself as she observed what Princess Celly was wearing. A bright white and gold colored diaper was wrapped snuggly around the princess's waist, a gold and white bib that had the phrase "#1 Princess" plastered to the front was wrapped proudly around Celly's neck, and a tall white-cone dunce cap was atop her head. 

A deafening chorus of applause and approving babbles erupted from the crowd as the princess surveyed her subjects with a glassy vacant look in her eyes, a wide smile on her face, and a clear mark on her forehead.

Celly waited patiently for the applause to die down before she puffed out her chest and spoke.

"Ish my Honor todaysh, ta present wit chus the annual Morning Messy!" She slurred as some drool leaked from the corner of her mouth.

"For censhuries we has beens under da watchfulsh eyesh of the gweat pwincesh Mamma!"

A few babbles of approval and some head nods from the crowd accompanied this statement.

"Shesh shoulds ush the powersh of diapees! And howsh valuable they'sh ares for evrwy citizensh including pwincesshes wike me!" Celly babbled happily as she gestured to her diaper with a free hand. A small wave of cheers erupted from the crowd but quickly died down so Celestia could continue.

"Nowsh, after a daysh of funsh and swirliesh, it'sh my honorsh to pwesent, the mowning messy!"

The crowd exploded into cheering once again as Celestia waddled to the edge of the balcony and gestured lazily to her citizens with a hand.

"Nowsh everyone, pweash joinsh me! Spread your legs and Hnngggg!" Celestia gurgled happily as she spread her legs and crouched down as low as she could with a loud grunt.

Twilight let out a babble of joy as she spread her legs apart and crouched down just as Princess Celly had instructed. Trixie babbled excitedly before doing the same and soon every Little in the crowd followed suit. The familiar haze flooded Twilight's mind as her face scrunched up and she pushed.

A small wave of grunts and crinkles emitted from the crowd as they all followed Celly's instruction.

Celestia grunted more as her fingers balled up into a fist and she pushed harder letting out a series of grunts. "Hnngggsh! Pushies as hards ash you cansh!" Celly shouted into the crowd as she neared a state of release. 

Finally, after a few more seconds of grunting, a chorus of Blorts, Blarrgghhhs, and crinkles rang out as every Little present voided their thoughts into their diaper. Twilight and Trixie both moaned in bliss as they felt the backs of their diapers balloon out in sweet relief. A powerful odor rose up as everyone in the crowd slumped over in mindless bliss.

The Care Givers rushed to start changing them all before they boarded the Pamper Express for home. The now completely blank and drooling Princess Celly was dragged off of the balcony and carried back into the palace.

Starlight gurgled with joy as a warm mushy sensation pressed itself against her rear. She had never felt more at ease in her life. Gone were her dangerous thoughts, her worries, and her independence. Her mind was now an empty void of nothing.

The trumpets sounded one final time signaling the end of the Morning Messy as the Care Givers began to clear everyone out.

Starlight and her wheelchair were quickly snatched up by a Care Giver who began the journey back toward the train station. Starlight loved obeying Mommy, She loved being mindless, and she loved messing herself silly! 

Starlight was a good little. Good Littles obey, good Littles relax, and good Littles forget.
